    These days, Feng Delin has been feeling aggrieved.  Zhang Zuolin obtained the central government's generous equipment for ten battalions with just words, and also received a large "development fee", which out of thin air overwhelm him in terms of strength.  In this era, a division was composed of 2 brigades and 4 regiments, and ten battalions were the configuration of most of the division. He must make up for the disadvantage.  Without Zhang Zuolin's warning, he had already set his sights on Duan Zhigui.  Although Duan Zhigui was incompetent and had no power or soldiers, he was a master of making money and got a lot of benefits from his title of "Warlord of the Three Eastern Provinces".

    I didn¡¯t dare to take action before, but when is it now?  When Lao Yuan became emperor, the sky was angry and people were resentful. The southwest troops were pointing directly at Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi.  He mobilized troops everywhere to put out the fire, but the fire was too strong, otherwise even the always obedient Zhang Zuolin wouldn't be able to trick him so easily, and it would be difficult to say.

    ??This period of Zhigui has no soldiers and no power, and is just an empty shelf of a military governor.  Because he was the first military general to declare himself a minister in an official document during the restoration, he was named a first-class duke.  As the saying goes, Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He fails. The current first-class master does not have a good reputation.  In Cai E's and the Kuomintang's "Combat Rebellion" article, Duan Zhigui was listed as one of the seven murderers and demanded that he be "clearly punished".

    He is now a patient with a treasure in his arms, and is no match for Feng Delin, a strong man.  As the saying goes, I will kill you while you are sick.  Since Zhang Zuolin made a lot of money by cheating on Yuan Shikai without losing anything at all, why don't he try the same method and get some benefits?  Taking advantage of Zhang Zuolin's big show of "serving people and governing people" and becoming a man of the hour, if he decisively attacked Duan Zhigui, Lao Yuan would not dare to make a big move at this time, right?  If you want to move, the first blow should be towards Zhang Zuolin!

    So Feng Delin¡¯s plan has been decided. No matter what, he will eat the money in Duan Zhigui¡¯s hands.  According to a rough estimate, with him scraping off Fengtian's public funds, a few million shouldn't be a problem.  With this money, he can also calm down the depression about Zhang Zuolin's previous big head.

    But he had to know Zhang Zuolin in advance. How could he know that the other party didn't have the same idea?  His ally dared to cheat even Yuan Shikai. Just when he was doing nothing but doing nothing, he would turn a blind eye to the fat on his lips?  If he had said he wanted to take action first, Zhang Zuolin would not have been able to hold him back.  However, if you take long steps, your crotch will be easily pulled.  Although Feng Delin had made up his mind, he was still a little timid yesterday. He also wanted to drag Zhang Zuolin into the sea together, but of course the premise was that Zhang Zuolin could not open his mouth like a lion.  So even though the two of them had been traveling less recently because of their overt and covert fights, he still decided to take the initiative to visit.

    "Third brother, why didn't you tell me that you came in person?" This was Zhang Zuolin's attentive greeting, and he took Zhang Hanqing out of the camp gate to greet him.  After surrendering to the Qing court, the original eight bearded leaders worshiped together, with Feng Delin ranked third and Zhang Zuolin the seventh.

    "Seventh brother, I know you are busy, so I won't waste your time. I came here this time because I want to talk to you about something." Feng Delin got straight to the point and went straight to the point.

    Zhang Zuolin knew what was going on, but he didn¡¯t say anything. He took his hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk in the house if we have anything to say.¡±

    Zhang Hanqing greeted Feng Delin politely.  This was the second time the two met. Although they had a small holiday in Beijing, Feng Delin had something on his mind, and the silly conflict before was no longer a problem.  As he walked, he said to Zhang Zuolin: "I heard that Governor Duan is going back to Beijing. Does seventh brother know about this?"

    How could you not know?  As the overlord stationed in the provincial capital of Fengtian, what matters in the provincial capital did not go through Zhang Zuolin's ears?  Alliance brother Tang Yulin's spy team is very efficient.  Besides, Zhang Zuolin had been staring at the chair under Governor Duan's butt for more than a day or two.

    "You know, Governor Duan is going back to Beijing to report on his duties. I heard he will be leaving the day after tomorrow."

    "What's the report? This old guy is probably going to run away! Seventh brother, have you heard that Duan has collected a lot of people's money from Fengtian? It is said that it is piled up in a carriage. If we let him go like this, how can we be worthy of it?  Fathers and brothers of Fengtian?" Feng Delin expressed indignation.  Different people in the same city, he was also wary of his ally, and would pull him into trouble if he did bad things.

    "Well, Zuolin has heard about this a little bit. But Governor Duan is a high official of the state and your and my superior. If he wants to do something illegal, he can only report it to the central government and let the president handle it." Zhang Zuolin said politely  .

    I don¡¯t know why this ally who has always been bold and bold suddenly became timid. Feng Delin was immersed in his own little calculation. He said angrily: "What boss, he is just a lackey! He was originally an official of the Qing Dynasty, and he encouraged the Northeast  He is the chief culprit for supporting the president to proclaim himself emperor and ruining the current situation to this point! It is a shame to let this lackey still ride on our heads, and we should expel him as soon as possible! What do you think, seventh brother?"

    Although for the authorThe younger generation Zhang Zuolin was extremely dissatisfied with him being on equal footing, but Feng Delin always believed that they were in internal conflict. They should stand together to deal with Duan Zhigui sent by Yuan Shikai, and there was no shortage of people who had to deal with Duan Zhigui first and then use their strength to fight Zhang Zuolin.  The idea of ????a competition.  Without Zhang Zuolin's support, he would not have the courage to challenge Duan Zhigui, even though the other party had positions but no power.

    We must know that no matter how incompetent the central government of the Republic of China is, it still has considerable strength.  Especially due to the centralization of power in the past few years when Yuan Shikai was in power, by the beginning of 1916, there were a total of 33 army divisions and 97 mixed brigades (including some independent infantry and cavalry regiments) directly under the jurisdiction of the Beiyang government and attached to the army, with a total strength of 1.2 million people.  , half of them are direct descendants of Beiyang.  This kind of power is something that unruly and unruly people like Zhang Zuolin, as well as ambitious and talented people like Feng Delin, etc. cannot hope to match. It is enough to kill all opposition forces in an instant.  If it weren't for the big bosses in charge of the army who had their own plans, Lao Yuan would never have the power to restrain him when he proclaimed himself emperor, which was also his confidence.

    Zhang Zuolin was secretly happy when he heard this. He really felt "very close to me".  However, he still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "General Duan was a nobleman of my father and Zuolin back then, and we have been reborn with kindness. Although I am not ashamed of his various actions, I would like Zuolin to do something unjust to him."  , I am afraid that I will be laughed at by the people in the green forest, and I will not be able to see my father underground in the future."

    His attitude made Feng Delin feel happy and sad.  What I am happy about is that I can eat alone, but what I am worried about is that if Zhang Zuolin stands aside and watches, the risk will be on his shoulders alone.  When he was young, he could be unscrupulous, but now that he is old and has a big family, he doesn't dare to take some risks.

    no!  Even if Zhang Zuolin doesn't take action, he still needs his moral support!  Feng Delin had already made a plan before he came. When he saw this, he smiled and said, "Seventh brother is a loyal person. I admire him very much. But if you know what Duan Zhigui does in private, it's not too late to make up your mind."  !" He paused and said, "Recently, there is news about Governor Yi from the provincial capital of Fengtian. Seventh brother, do you know who it is?"

    Zhang Zuolin looked surprised: "Did Duan Zhigui have any involvement in this matter?"

    Feng Delin made an angry gesture: "It's not just the hands and feet, it was all done by him! The seventh brother started to 'serve others and govern the servants'. Brother, I agreed. Seeing that the trend was getting stronger, this guy surnamed Duan came up with an idea to alienate our brothers. He deliberately  It is said that President Yuan asked his brother to be the governor of Fengtian. In fact, he wanted to stir up discord between our brothers! Brother, the main reason why I drove him away is still here!"

    Zhang Zuolin suddenly realized: "No wonder rumors are flying all over Fengtian City. It turns out that this guy named Duan is fanning the flames!" He suddenly said sincerely: "He is also discerning and knows that with the reputation of the third brother, he can do this  Governor Fengtian can convince people. However, his alienation plan is not very clever. Even if the rumors come true, at least I will not have any objections, brother. In this way, this Duan is really a scourge and should be driven away!"

    Seeing that Zhang Zuolin had been impressed, Feng Delin immediately said excitedly: "It is indeed true!"

    Zhang Zuolin hesitated and said: "But he is unkind, and I can't be unjust - Third brother, I can't attack him, but I support you! Whether it's for the friendship between you and me as brothers, or for his surname Duan as the culprit of the imperial system  , he has to leave Fengtian both privately and publicly!"

    Feng Delin said with great joy: "That's exactly it."

    At this time, both of them had a tacit agreement not to mention that they had been pioneers in advocating for imperialism. Although there were many telegrams from the two expressing their determination to Yuan Shikai as evidence, and there were also thousands of witnesses at the Fengtian meeting to prove it.  Zhang Zuolin worked hard and made great contributions to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.

    Although Feng Delin was surprised by Zhang Zuolin's "ganghu style", he did not doubt him, but was happy in his heart: "People say that Zhang Zuolin is a hero, but it seems to be exaggerated: the ancients said that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial details. How long have they been, and they still read the so-called"  Morality'." Although he thought so, he said hypocritically: "Since it is not convenient for Yuting to come forward, then the 28th Division will come forward to drive Duan"

    Zhang Hanqing, who was accompanying him, witnessed the wonderful performance of the two elders and couldn't help but secretly praise: "They are all worthy of being drama queens!" In order to make the scene more smooth, he said: "Uncle Feng has great insights and drives Duan.  The interests of the country cannot be tolerated based on personal feelings. Although it is inconvenient for his father to come forward, he still has to do his best. In this way, his father came forward to persuade him to leave Feng, and Uncle Feng used force to coerce him. General Duan saw that both his uncle and his father had clear attitudes.  Naturally, he cannot stay in Fengtian. The aftermath is all decided by his uncle. My father will stay indifferent to avoid suspicion, but he just needs to save General Duan's life. After all, there is a love of incense, and my father can avoid being criticized.  It's worthy of Uncle Shiyi. This is what my nephew thinks is the best of both worlds."

    This proposal is very good, especially the conclusion that ¡°the aftermath is all decided¡± is exactly what Feng Delin meant.  You, Zhang Zuolin, should be a good person and take the initiative to give up the benefits to avoid suspicion.  You benefited from Lao Yuan some time ago, and now he wants to make up for it from Lao Duan.  Several million dollars is more than enough to equip ten battalions of infantry.

    The two sides hit it off and decided to let Feng Delin's 28th Division play the bad guy and have a head-on conflict with him. Feng Delin would naturally get the benefit. Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division would play the bad guy, trying to scare him into fleeing in fear of crime, but they couldn't let him have any chance.  The worry about life is naturally Zhang Zuolin's advantage.  The common purpose of the two is to let Yuan Shikai's people know that the people of Fengtian are not easy to mess with!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Come.  Several million dollars is more than enough to equip ten battalions of infantry.
