    Zhang Zuolin has many things to do every day. He usually starts working very early and ends very late. This is especially true after he became the governor and provincial governor.  Because his bedroom and office are connected together, he truly makes his work his home.

    Logically speaking, how can a small military governor be busier than the president and prime minister who have so many things to do every day?  No matter how powerful he is, he only controls the strength of nearly two divisions and the administrative power of a province.  Moreover, the tens of thousands of people in the Guard Brigade were under Zhang Hanqing's independent control, and Zhang Zuolin was generally not allowed to intervene in matters such as logistics, equipment, and training.

    His family knew about his family affairs, and Zhang Zuolin was busy, but he was planning for his accumulation. Zhang Zuolin's ambitions can be seen from some of the stone carvings in the Commander's Mansion.

    When he purchased the Zhang Family Courtyard, Zhang Zuolin, as the teacher, incorporated themes such as "eating from all countries", "holding the world", and "letting money from foreign countries" into the stone carvings on the walls.  After the Zhang Family Courtyard officially became the Marshal's Mansion, instead of the usual lion and horse-centered creations, dragon decorations were used as a foil.  Just imagine, it was like this back then. Now that the Fengtian family is the only one, how can we not have any ideas?

    Just like Zhang Hanqing was preparing for a rainy day for his ambition, Zhang Zuolin was also worried about how to expand his stall.  Xiaoliuzi took the lead in taking care of industry and commerce. Wang Yongjiang, Liu Shangqing, Yang Yuting and several of Xiaoliuzi's cronies such as Mo Dehui, Mi Chunlin and others took the lead, which solved a big problem for him.  Xiaoliuzi and the others have a far-sighted view of leading troops in war and engaging in these so-called industrial, commercial and economic matters.

    When the stall is big, it is inevitable that you will lose sight of one thing.  The martial arts hall is a place to cultivate military talents. You have to grasp it personally. They are all disciples of the emperor; the arsenal is the basis for one's struggle for supremacy in this world. He can only step up the expansion of equipment and produce more powerful weapons; the one in Beizhen is also  What was being done, and whether the people sent to keep an eye on it were optimistic; what new news came from the Beijing government, and he had to discuss with his staff how to deal with it All these things made him both tired and fulfilled.

    At this time, he greatly admired Xiao Liuzi's superhuman vision: he disbanded the provincial secret agent team early and established the "Feng Intelligence Bureau". His eyes and ears were now deployed in Beijing and Tianjin, and lurked in the streets and alleys of Fengtian nearby. Not only were the sources of intelligence  Real and fast, and also allows you to get first-hand information.  Now the Feng Intelligence Bureau has become the largest reliance besides the 27th Division, even more reassuring than the barrel of a gun.  At least, the 27th Division cannot detect the private actions of Fengtian military and political officials.

    With Gao Jiyi as the director, he, the warlord, can slowly let go of less sensitive matters to his subordinates, but he has always been the first to ask about the intelligence of the Intelligence Bureau.  However, this time, the intelligence given to him by the Intelligence Bureau made him laugh and laugh, even though it was given to him personally by Gao Jiyi, who had recently become the new director.

    The reason was that the First Section of the Intelligence Bureau received a tip-off and captured a person of unknown origin.  After investigation, it was found that this person had asked the coachman about the Marshal's house, asked the hawker about the Marshal's various deeds, and asked the hotel about various military and political figures in Fengtian.  Due to the previous assassination of Zhang Zuolin, all information related to the Commander's Mansion has been regarded as important intelligence in the first lesson of the Feng Intelligence Bureau.  This man named Ji Yiqiao was unfamiliar with Fengtian and did not do any business, but he tried every means to spy on intelligence. Of course, he would be interrogated intensively.

    But this person insisted on talking to the young marshal and found a letter on his body, which was written by a person named Cai Songpo to Zhang Hanqing and recommended a person named Ji Yiqiao, so that Gao Jiyi did not know the truth and did not dare to be rude.  .  Since Zhang Hanqing usually came back one night a week, and the Intelligence Bureau's requirement was that important news should be reported to the old and young marshals at the same time, Gao Jiyi informed Zhang Hanqing on the phone and Zhang Zuolin at the same time.

    Hearing that he had caught such a "spy", Zhang Zuolin read the letter, thought about it for a moment, then laughed loudly, and quickly said to Gao Jiyi: "This is unreasonable! Release him immediately and invite this person to see me!"

    Gao Jiyi knew that this person must be someone, so he did not dare to neglect him at the moment, and personally accompanied the smiling face to release the person, and it turned out to be the middle-aged man.  When they arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Zuolin personally went out to greet him and said loudly: "Brother Jincheng did this so unethically. How could he have gone to Fengtian without seeing me as the master and went to find out the truth in private? Isn't this a slap in my face, Zhang Zuolin!"  "

    The middle-aged man named Jincheng smiled and said: "To each other, it is not authentic for you, Marshal Zhang, to treat guests like this!"

    Zhang Zuolin laughed loudly and said, "My subordinates don't know how to do things. I misunderstood you. I'm here to accompany you!" Gao Jiyi, who was looking at Zuocheng in fear, said, "Do you know who he is? You dare to arrest him as a spy."  ! Speaking of which, he has higher qualifications in the military circles of the Republic of China than I do, and he has made great contributions to the country. Even during the period of protecting the country, his contribution was not comparable to mine, so why don¡¯t you apologize quickly!"

    Rather than blaming someone, this man waved his hand and said, "Don't blame those who don't know. Yushuai's soldiers are really not simple. I only stayed here for a few days.", then plainclothes came to the door.  I had long heard that Brother Yuting had done a great job in Fengtian, and Mr. Ji came to see it in person. As expected, the reputation was very good.  "

    Zhang Zuolin was a little proud, but his face was extremely humble: "Brother Jincheng is joking, I just did some good things for my father in heaven, and as a military and political official appointed by the country, I should serve my country."

    Because of his instinct for spy work, Gao Jiyi couldn't help but secretly guess: Judging from the marshal's intimacy, this man named Ji Jincheng must be a figure, but why is he so unknown?  And judging from the commander's reaction, he still cares about this person's evaluation, otherwise he wouldn't be so humble.

    He was right, this Ji Jincheng was indeed a person.

    Ji Yiqiao, courtesy name Jincheng, was from Hubei.  He was a member of the League, participated in the Battle of Shanghai's Restoration during the Revolution of 1911, and served as the Chief of Staff of the Shanghai Army Vanguard.  In the first year of the Republic of China, he served as the commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division and was awarded the rank of Army Major General. His military qualifications were comparable to Zhang Zuolin.  Historically, He Yingqin served as the commander of the first battalion of the 8th Infantry Regiment under him.

    But since then, he has been unsuccessful.  During the National Defense Movement, he fought between Xu and Huai. Later, at the invitation of Yunnan Governors Tang Jiyao and Cai E, he successively served as brigade commander of the Yunnan Army and commander of the garrison in western Yunnan, and was in charge of the training of new recruits, which was very effective.

    Everyone worked together to fight against Yuan, but after the enemy was removed, Yunnan was now in chaos.  When Cai E left active service due to illness, his life in Yunnan became difficult. He was demoted from the leader of the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall to an instructor. However, according to official history, it would be many years before he joined the Fengxian Army.

    Although Cai E was ill, he had been paying close attention to Zhang Hanqing's situation. He knew a lot about his many measures to recruit troops, buy horses, reform and march in Fengtian, so before going to Japan, he asked Ji Yiqiao to choose an opportunity to defect to Zhang Hanqing in Fengtian.  Worried that Zhang Hanqing didn't know him well, he wrote a letter to help Ji in person and introduced him well: "Jincheng is a kind man, cautious in his conduct. He has many ingenious plans in battle and has been training troops in Yunnan for many years. He is extremely  If you are successful, I can choose a position and use it."

    Although Cai E was recuperating from illness, he often called to inquire about the military and political situation in Yunnan. Knowing that he was not doing well in Yunnan, he once again recommended him to go to Fengtian to find Zhang Hanqing.  It would be fine if he was asked to defect to Zhang Zuolin. After all, Lao Zhang was considered a figure outside the customs at this time. However, Cai E solemnly recommended Zhang Hanqing, his nephew, to him, which is unclear.

    With a hesitant attitude, he decided to try his luck. At worst, he could just go back to his hometown.  He is a cautious person, so he naturally wants to find out first.  On the train going north, he learned that Zhang Hanqing was just a sixteen-year-old young man, and he began to be disappointed.  However, as his understanding deepened, he gradually became interested in this "minor" who had just grown up.  Regardless of the various auras around him, Cai E's two solemn introductions alone must be seen for real no matter what.

    It was the right time for Zhang Zuolin to recruit troops and hire people. Although he came from a rough background, he knew how to recruit talented people.  After reading Cai E's letter, I knew that the person in front of me was the one who came to my door. How could I not feel happy?  Although I had only heard of his name before but never met him.  He was a straightforward person and did not hide anything. He said bluntly: "Don't say it was recommended by General Cai. Just because of the name of Brother Jincheng, I, Zhang Zuolin, can't even afford to hire him! Brother, this governor is the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.  The canonized ones cannot be moved, and Brother Jincheng can ask for any other official positions in the other 27 divisions. As long as you ask for it, I can ask people to move it out to make way for talents!"

    He directly moved the world and replaced the flowers with flowers.  Although it was recommended to his son, but he was cut off halfway and it was a disgrace for me to act like an old man. I¡¯m sorry that Xiao Liuzi couldn¡¯t say anything wrong?

    To be honest, Zhang Zuolin¡¯s sincerity is very confusing.  But Gao Jiyi knew that at least the position of Division Commander Sun Liechen would not be given up in any case, the 53rd Brigade Commander Tang Yulin could not be moved at all, the 54th Brigade Commander Zhang Zuoxiang would not be reassigned not long after he took office, and the position of General Counselor Yang Yuting of the Warlord's Office was  Don't think about it at all, it's the old commander's absolute wisdom.

    For other positions, the positions at the regiment level are too low; and except for the deputy brigade commander and brigade deputy chief of staff in the Guards Brigade, the Beiyang Army does not have deputy positions at all levels.

    The divisions and mixed brigades of the Beiyang Army evolved from the Zhenhe Mixed Association of the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty, and they are both independent units.  When Yuan Shikai was in power, all senior officers at the brigade and brigade levels were his confidants. In order to maintain his absolute control over the Beiyang Army, there were no deputy positions at all levels.  In this way, on the one hand, it can directly lead and purify the army; on the other hand, it can also make military orders easier to access and execute, and avoid the confusion and inconvenience caused by multiple commands.  With such a precedent, officers at the division and brigade levels directly appoint their confidants to serve as commanders at the regiment and battalion levels to facilitate their command and leadership.

    Therefore, the 27th Division not only does not have deputy division commander, deputy brigade, but also deputy chief of staff and other official positions.  In view of this, Gao Jiyi imagined that the commander-in-chief wanted to hire him as an officer in non-combat positions, such as in charge of military training, logistics or equipment.  According to the eight major offices of the Military Governor's Office, this level is not too small, and sincerity cannot be called dishonest.

    However, Ji Yiqiao was unmoved. He said a little apologetically: "Brother, I have faded away from military affairs. I came here this time just to be invited to chat about the mission. After meeting the young marshal, I will leave for Japan to look after General Cai.  There are many talented people in my brother's office, but Ji is self-aware and does not dare to make false claims."
