    "President Junjian: Today there is a well-educated dog with a surly personality and disobedience to discipline. My brother is also not talented and can do nothing. I heard that the president has a great reputation and has admired him for a long time. My brother wants him to go to the capital in person and listen to the teachings day and night, so that he can make a difference.  Become a pillar of the country.¡±

    A eloquent telegram with several crosses dispelled the last doubt in President Yuan's mind.  Zhang Zuolin, a strongman outside the customs, was soft-spoken and made puns.  The two sides reached consensus on the issue of educating the next generation, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.  But when President Yuan was delighted, how could he really have the nerve to "discipline" his son?

    Three days later, Zhang Hanqing entered Beijing.

    Zhang Zuolin, who was born in a reckless family, was very dedicated to the safety of his eldest son. He not only carefully mobilized a small but capable personal soldier to act as Zhang Hanqing's personal guard - this was Zhang Hanqing's first life in this life.  A team that can fully obey his orders can be regarded as his capital to start a business.  Originally, since we came to the tiger's den, there was not much difference between a dozen people and hundreds of thousands of people.  What is he, a powerless young boy, doing with so many guards?  But Zhang Zuolin still insisted on making arrangements.

    As the captains of the guard, Tan Hai and Gao Jiyi were both appointed by Zhang Hanqing himself.  As for Tan and Gao, to be honest, he had never met these two people before, but he had already regarded them as confidants in his heart.

    As the head of the four famous lieutenants of Zhang Xueliang in history, Tan Hai is neither a prominent figure nor a water figure at this time.  He comes from a poor family but is honest and kind. He finally got married but suffered from a life without security.  Because his father and Zhang Zuoxiang were sworn brothers with different surnames, after living idle at home for several months, Tan Hai came to Fengtian City to find Zhang Zuoxiang.

    Who is Zhang Zuoxiang?  A proper confidant and sworn brother of Zhang Zuolin, he was the chief of staff of the 27th Division at this time.  As the three generals Zhang Zuolin relied on, they were all powerful men and brothers in the army. As the chief of staff of the division, Zhang Zuoxiang, although not as powerful as the other two brigade commanders Tang Yulin and Sun Liechen, was more cautious.

    In the early years of the Republic of China, a division had two brigades and four regiments under its jurisdiction, and the brigade commander's status was one level higher than that of the division chief of staff.  For example, both Tang and Sun were major generals and brigade commanders, but Zhang Zuoxiang was a colonel.  Among the three, Tang Yulin was bold and rough, Sun Liechen was loyal and reliable, and Zhang Zuoxiang had a measured advance and retreat.

    Zhang Zuoxiang had a good sense of people. He took a fancy to Tan Hai's cautious and serious personality, so he took Tan Hai as an errand in the army. He quickly won his favor and was soon promoted from a soldier to an officer.  If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing, he would have been hiding for a long time.

    When the news came out that Zhang Hanqing was going to Beijing, Zhang Zuolin was anxious to find some suitable and reliable personal attendants for him. After all, Zhang Hanqing was not an adult yet and was far away in Beijing, a land of disputes. As a father, he still had some worries.  At this time, Zhang Hanqing only asked for two people from him, and Tan Hai was one of them.  Zhang Zuolin had no idea who Tan Hai was, but when he asked Zhang Zuoxiang for this person, Zhang Zuoxiang still said pertinently: "Han Qing has a good vision, and Enbo can be of great use."

    Zhang Zuolin has always been approving of Zhang Zuoxiang's ability to understand people and the overall situation. The people he approves of should be good.  When I saw Tan Hai with my own eyes, I couldn't help but admire him.

    With keen eyes, honest responses, and a flexible and strong body, this is the perfect candidate to be a bodyguard!  If Zhang Hanqing hadn't designated him in advance, Zhang Zuolin would have wanted to use him as his own.  This little boy, even though he usually doesn't seem to care about people in the military, has picked up a treasure!  It's really hard for him.

    ¡°If he knew that Zhang Hanqing was simply taking advantage of time travel, I don¡¯t know what he would think.

    The other person is even more interesting.  This man named Gao Jiyi has a well-established background and a professional background. He studied at the Fengtian Army Crash Course and the Army Surveying and Mapping School of the Three Northeastern Provinces. He stayed at the school to teach because of his excellent performance.  In Fengtian, there are not to mention many such people, dozens or hundreds.  If it hadn't been for Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, Zhang Zuolin would have just regarded him as an ordinary military school teacher.

    Zhang Zuolin only thought that Naizi only had plans to join the military, so he was very interested in the military school teachers.  Gao Jiyi was very surprised, because he had never had any dealings with the Major General of the General's Mansion, but it was strange that he could directly pick him out from countless candidates.

    You must know that as a public figure, the news that Zhang Hanqing is a proton is known to everyone in Fengtian Provincial City, so those who can be posted around must be trustworthy people and have high hopes.  His ability to rise from a little-known teacher to one of the closest people to the Major General surprised countless people.

    Because his position was nothing else, Zhang Hanqing named him as his adjutant.  This is a position that only existed in the Republic of China. According to modern terms, an adjutant is a secretary with military rank, that is, a confidential secretary.  Later, I asked Zhang Hanqing privately why he chose him as his adjutant. Zhang Hanqing always said casually: "I know you are a reliable person."For this trust and kindness, Gao Jiyi is forever grateful to Zhang Hanqing.

    In fact, it is not that Zhang Hanqing has any advanced ideas, but that when the Northeast changed its flag in history, it was Gao Jiyi, the captain of the guard at the time, who unconditionally obeyed the young marshal and shot Yang and Chang, the leaders of the Northeast Army.  His loyalty is created by "history".

    Tan Hai was appointed as the captain of Zhang Hanqing's guard, and with ten selected people, together with Gao Jiyi, boarded the train to Beijing on an auspicious day.  In order to show his sincerity, on the second day after arriving in Beijing, he wore a crisp suit and went to see President Yuan Da.

    Zhang Hanqing had done some homework for this visit.  It is said that Yuan Shikai always wore a military uniform with three stars on the shoulder straps, which looked like a Chinese tunic suit.  According to the memories of his important staff: "He has never been seen wearing a suit, and he never wears Chinese clothes except for family ceremonies. He doesn't like blue robes and mandarin jackets, but he likes young people to wear suits."  In order to suit him, Zhang Hanqing dressed up in suits and leather shoes, and was more serious than the first job interview in his life.

    "However, he already has good looks, and "you are what you wear," so dressing up like this makes him even more elegant.

    Perhaps with the intention of making a local pilgrimage to the Central Committee, or the idea of ??setting a benchmark, President Yuan cordially received this aspiring young man who had a good impression in his mind at Jurentang, Zhongnanhai.  There was a middle-aged man wearing a general's uniform.  Zhang Hanqing didn't have time to look at it, and just looked at Yuan Shikai's bald head: "The bald head on Yuan Datou's silver coin, it turns out this is what it really looks like."

    Only now do we have the opportunity to see the true face of this famous person in Chinese history.  Yuan Shikai was short and fat, but his face was expressive and his movements were agile.  With a thick neck and round head, he seems to be very energetic.  His eyes are elegant and bright, sharp and flexible, and often have an alert look.  He stared at Zhang Hanqing sharply, but without showing hostility, he was always full of strong interest.  His eyes showed how quickly he understood the trend of the conversation. He was a very experienced politician and a shrewd person.  If he were not on a path of no return now, his status in Chinese history should be no less than that of Tang Zong and Song Zu, or at least no less than Sun Yat-sen's later achievements.

    It seems that Yuan Shikai is not very tall, but the temperament developed during his many years of military career makes people feel calm and powerful.  Yan Xishan once told people that he met Yuan Shikai twice, but in the end he still didn't know what Yuan Shikai looked like because during the interview, Yan Xishan was both respectful and fearful and did not dare to look directly.

    However, when it came to meeting President Yuan, Zhang Hanqing did not show the usual fear among his peers or even Chinese senior officials at that time. He looked straight at him calmly and even a little rudely, which made Yuan Shikai appreciate Zhang Hanqing's nascent behavior.  His father Zhang Zuolin was always respectful when he saw him. Is this child young?  Still young?

    Of course, Zhang Hanqing did not dare to rely on him. In any case, the man in front of him was known as the successor of Li Hongzhang, the gravedigger of the Qing Dynasty, and the enemy of the Republic of China. He could hold the Qing court and Sun Yat-sen in his hands at the same time and win the great powers.  The unanimously recognized first president of the Republic of China is still quite a deterrent. At least Zhang Hanqing needs to look up to him at this stage.

    President Yuan looked at the childish Zhang Hanqing and liked it a little at first.  In order to express his intention to win over Zhang Zuolin, he was full of praise: "I didn't expect Yuting to give birth to such a smart child! Well, your name is Zhang Xueliang? What a good name, well, learn to be a loyal person like your father.  "

    "He said it casually, but he also said a lot of things.  Zhang Hanqing knew the allusion to his name. It was the name Zhang Zuolin specially asked local celebrities to give him, which meant to learn from Zhang Liang, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty.  Zhang Liang was a minister of the Han Dynasty, a minister, a minister, and a minister, so he was also given the nickname Hanqing.

    The purpose of my visit was very clear, that is, to win the trust of Yuan Shikai on behalf of my father, so I took the opportunity to confess: "The president's words are exactly what my father meant in naming Xueliang. When my father came, he asked Xueliang to ask me  Like Zhang Liang, the counselor of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, who has become a pillar of the country, my father and son will always be loyal ministers of the president and will not be treacherous ministers."

    These words were so explicit and shameless that even Zhang Hanqing himself felt disgusted.  However, when these words were spoken from the mouth of a half-teen-year-old child, there was nothing embarrassing about them. They only made people feel simple and credible, which made Zhang Zuolin's image in Yuan Shikai's heart "tall" again.

    Yuan Shikai laughed heartily. Only Zhang Zuolin, that bumpkin from the Northeast, could say it so straightforwardly, right?  But I like it!  The first time he met Zhang Zuolin immediately came to his mind.  There are many versions of this interview in unofficial history. Zhang Zuolin, the person involved, did not say anything later, and there was no record of Yuan Shikai, only the memories of the descendants of the Yuan family, so there were a lot of anecdotes and jokes.

    But Zhang Hanqing knew it well. Lao Zhang described the ins and outs of this meeting to him in detail, and analyzed various obscure and emergency scenarios in detail, just to let him continue to carry out the meeting when he met Yuan Shikai.  Good luck before.  Even though Lao Zhang is a tycoon of his generation, he is still quite cautious when meeting a tycoon who is more powerful than him at this moment.  Zhang Hanqing deeply agrees with this.

    "If Yuan Shikai knew that he had ignored Zhang and his son for the rest of his life, he would not know how he would feel in his grave.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He analyzed it thoroughly, just to let him continue his previous good luck when he met Yuan Shikai.  Even though Lao Zhang is a tycoon of his generation, he is still quite cautious when meeting a tycoon who is more powerful than him at this moment.  Zhang Hanqing deeply agrees with this.
