    Zhang Zuolin directly asked the central government for his merits and rewards. In fact, he was aiming at the position of general. The so-called "exchange with Wu Junsheng" was actually a threat, which meant that if he dared to "exchange", he would be free.  Action, when the time comes, "the disaster will never come", you will bear the consequences at your own risk, and his true character of a hero emerges vividly on the page.

    But regular soldiers like Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui simply looked down on Zhang Zuolin, who was from a green forest background. Therefore, when Zhang Xiluan resigned under pressure, Yuan Shikai was still unwilling to appoint Zhang Zuolin as the governor, and instead sent Duan Zhigui to be the governor of Fengtian.

    This Duan Zhigui has a great background.

    Duan Zhigui, courtesy name Xiangyan, was born in Hefei, Anhui Province in 1869.  Born in Beiyang Military Academy, he later studied in Japan.  He once served as an instructor in Yuan Shikai's newly built Army Lecture Hall.  In 1912, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Armed Guards.  In 1913, he was awarded the rank of Army General and served as Commander of the First Army of the Army.  In August 1915, he was awarded the title of General of Zhenwu, responsible for controlling the military affairs of Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang. He also served as the envoy of Tianxun and was granted the title of first-class public.  During this period, Zhigui was Yuan Shikai's favorite, the number one figure in the Beiyang Army who later supported the Hongxian monarchy, and Duan Qirui's family and fellow countryman.  At this time, he was only 46 years old. Because his position was a little younger than Duan Qirui, he was called "Xiao Duan". It can be said that he was young and powerful, had rich experience, had many titles, had a brilliant plumage, and had a bright future.

    Before coming to Feng, Duan Zhigui was a general in Hubei, but his life in Hubei was not easy: Wang Zhanyuan, who was in charge of military affairs in Hubei Province, did not take Duan Zhigui seriously and always wanted to force Xiao Duan to leave Hubei.  Both Zhang Xiluan and Duan Zhigui were looked down upon by their warriors, and they all cried to Yuan Shikai, especially Xiao Duan, who cried to Yuan Mian again and again.

    Because Duan Zhigui's father, Duan Youheng, was Zhang Zuolin's guarantor when he was fostered. Later, in order to please Yuan Shikai, Zhang Zuolin once worshiped Duan Zhigui as his teacher, and Duan also tried his best to speak good things for Zhang in front of Yuan.  To a certain extent, Duan Zhigui was kind to Zhang Zuolin.  Therefore, Yuan thought that swapping the two tragic lovers, Zhang and Duan, might ease things a bit.  So on August 18, the fourth year of the Republic of China, Yuan issued an order to swap the governors of Hubei and Feng. This arrangement was painstaking.

    Zhang Xiluan felt that it was hard to live in Fengtian. When he received the order of Governor E, he was overjoyed.  Finally, he was able to get rid of two men who didn't take him seriously and had a real opportunity to show off his skills. The satisfaction of the border that he had never experienced before suddenly came to his heart.  When I was happy, I once wrote a poem: "Twenty years ago, I was a second lieutenant, and now I have opened my mansion in Ewangcheng."

    He was naturally relieved to have left the wolf den, but Zhang Zuolin was devastated.

    Although Zhang Zuolin came from a rough background, he was not blindly loyal. On the surface, he was inconvenient to refuse Xiao Duan's appointment, but in his heart he was still extremely unwilling.  Just by forcing Zhang Xiluan away, the central boss was already very unhappy with him. Apart from receiving a tougher counterattack, he did not get any benefits.  Now that his legs are short and his arms are thin, it is not the time to fall out. In addition, there is another big tiger from the same province, Feng Delin. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin suppressed his resentment for the time being and continued to contribute, cheering for Yuan Shikai and pretending to be extremely loyal.  .

    The president categorically denies the relationship between these twenty-one items and the uproarous "Security Planning Committee", but it seems that it is definitely not groundless. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?  On the front foot, the Central Committee was forced by the Japanese to sign, but on the back foot, the Japanese rushed to support the president's proclaimed emperor. Anyone would think of this!  Although Yuan Shikai still hid his unwillingness, he had the opportunity to become emperor. In Lao Zhang's opinion, a fool would refuse it!

    Zhang Zuolin will not betray his country to the point of making wedding clothes for others, but how much weight do he have to change the current situation in which the central government is weak externally?  What can be done now is to be cautious, repair the impression with the president, and try to serve the new general beside him.  Although General Duan has just arrived, he is an important figure who may determine his future. This time the president sent this new person to Fengtian, but he came with bad intentions.  He regretted that he should not have sent the high-spirited telegram to the Central Committee before, which probably gave the person in power a bad impression of being "ambitious".  We have made many remedies for this before. At this critical moment, don¡¯t let anything happen!

    Duan Zhigui looked at the crowd, his face ashen.  He is a close confidant of Yuan Shikai and the general of Fengtian Province. In theory, he controls the military and political power of the entire province.  This popular uprising occurred less than half a month after taking office. Although he has only been in office for a short period of time and the responsibility does not lie with him, the president should still hope that he can cut through the mess quickly and put an end to this incident as soon as possible.  The trend of the central government's persuasion to advance is getting louder and louder. At this juncture, these dissonances cannot appear.  Thinking about it, the president was very kind to me, but he was unhappy with his work, so he transferred himself from Hubei to Fengtian. Those who are confidants will die for their confidants. Now is the time to repay!

    But from another point of view, this is not necessarily a good thing, at least it can make people outside the customs?The giants have expressed their opinions and tried their stance. This is also a touchstone for future changes between the DPRK and China.  He turned to look at Zhang Zuolin, pretending to be worried and said: "Brother Yu Ting, we have to think of a way. Although the scholar rebellion will not happen in three years. But if this trend is allowed to grow, it may damage the president's reputation.  "

    Zhang Zuolin knew Duan Zhigui's origins very well. He could not confront this person head-on. He must hide his strength, bide his time, and wait for his chance to rise.  From the beginning, he tried his best to flatter Duan Zhigui, and even "purchased precious antiques from time to time and gave them to Duan's father to buy his favor."  Although he had not been in Fengtian for a long time, and his foundation was far less strong than he had been here for a long time, there were people in the court who were good at serving as officials. In the Republic of China, there were not many people in Fengtian who could speak in the central government.  And Duan Zhigui was sent by President Yuan.

    "Qingyu? Don't be ridiculous. At this time, you still take off your pants and cover your face. Is it interesting?"

    "Suppression? I don't want to do such a shameful thing. The bastard Yuan Shikai wanted to be emperor in order to please the Japanese, so he sold his ancestors. I can't do such an outrageous thing. It's easy to use a gun.  , but in the future, you will just pat your butt and leave, and I will still have to work here to earn a living. I can¡¯t ruin my reputation. But what method should be used to stop this trend? After all, this matter has become a big issue, and I don¡¯t do anything anymore.  , It will also have a bad impact on my career."

    ??Lao Zhang Lulin was born, but at this time he did not have much awareness of "asking for life for the people".  Including his sudden rise in the Revolution of 1911, it was just the result of the current situation. There is no position to talk about, only pros and cons.  If suppressing the civil uprising can gain the benefits of being a governor, he will definitely act as a thug resolutely.  Of course, if you have to resort to violence against your parents just to get a "praise" from the Fengtian Warlord's backstage, forget it, it's not cost-effective.

    However, he had to accept Duan Zhigui's words, at least he still had to show his attitude.  He nodded and said: "The general is absolutely right. These unscrupulous people know what national affairs they have, so they dare to talk about the Central Committee! If they dare to risk the disdain of the world and offend the general, I, Zhang Zuolin, will have tens of thousands of troops from the 27th Division."  Guns are not vegetarian either.¡±

    His meaning has been very clear. As one of the two pillars of the Fengtian army, he has the obligation and must be able to protect the safety of this warlord Duan.  Of course, that's all. If he wanted him to go to war for Yuan Shikai's so-called "clear reputation", the conditions were not met.  In addition, he specifically mentioned the tens of thousands of guns of the 27th Division, and also intentionally or unintentionally said to Duan Zhigui: "I have a background."

    Duan Zhi is an old and sophisticated man, and he understands Zhang Zuolin¡¯s words.  At this moment, here and now, without any military power, all he could rely on was Zhang Zuolin, who was in the provincial capital.  He knew very well that for this arrogant bandit leader, nothing without great benefit would be able to tempt him to do anything.  He remembered what Lao Yuan said during the interview with him: "Zhang Zuolin is like a falcon in the Northeast. He doesn't want to work when he is well fed, and he will peck the hunter's hand when he is underfed." If he wants to contribute, it seems that he can't do it without spending some money.  of.

    He said slowly: "It's okay to offend me. It's just a piece of shit. Let others comment. But if you slander the president, it is unforgivable! In order to solve the dispute between China and Japan, the president has worked hard and  The pain involved in working hard and sleeping hard cannot be explained to outsiders. Brother, my ability is limited and I cannot solve the president's problems, but I still have to do the moral call. I really don't want to see the president who is dedicated to serving the country but ends up in trouble.  Calling names, these are the duties of our subordinates.

    Brother Yuting, Guandong is cold and humid, so it is not suitable to live there for a long time.  Brother, I am old and sick, and I have long wanted to return to Beijing to recuperate.  There have been many disputes over matters in Beijing recently, and the president has asked for opinions many times, and is thinking of using this as an excuse to return to Beijing.  After my brother leaves, I will be able to speak in front of the president about this candidate.  In this troubled time, if my brother can help the President solve his problems, would the President not reciprocate the favor?  "

    On the surface, he is much more respected in Fengtian than in Hubei Province, but his family affairs are known to his own family. On the surface, he has unlimited fame, but in fact, he still depends on Zhang Zuolin's eyes.  Zhang Zuolin was polite, but the toughness in his behavior still made him uncomfortable.  He really wanted to make a fortune in Fengtian and return to the central government. With his relationship with Lao Yuan, a high-ranking cabinet minister was indispensable. Why should he act based on the expressions of his subordinates?

    He used both kindness and power, hoping to use Zhang Zuolin's hand to calm the public opinion outside the country, to give credit to the central government's wise master, and to gain political capital for himself.

    "Don't tell me, what he said touched Zhang Zuolin's heart.  After expelling Zhang Xiluan to no avail, he deeply understood that his wings were too weak, so weak that a random gust of wind from the center could break his body.  In the vast ocean, as a captain, his boat is too small and will be capsized by a big wave at any time.  For now, he can only silently strengthen his body and seize any opportunity to make his muscles stronger.

    There is only one way to be powerful, and that is to succeed the warlord.  If he can legitimately take over Duan Zhigui's position as military governor, he can reasonably and legally use various political and economic resources in Fengtian Province to enrich himself.  If Duan Zhigui will leave Fengtian as he said, then it is worth taking a gamble on him.  I'm just afraid that this is an expedient measure for Duan!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)If he smoothly takes over Duan Zhigui's position as military governor, he can reasonably and legally use various political and economic resources in Fengtian Province to enrich himself.  If Duan Zhigui will leave Fengtian as he said, then it is worth taking a gamble on him.  I'm just afraid that this is an expedient measure for Duan!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
