Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Amid the friction in Congress, month after month passed, and soon, the National Day, the grand holiday of the Republic of China, was approaching.

    Looking back on the ups and downs of the past fifteen years, especially the Kuomintang people who have continuously exerted influence on the Chinese regime since the Revolution of 1911, on this day of national celebration, they began to gradually reduce their restrictions on the government in Congress.  Instead, they devoted their energy to publicizing the achievements of the Kuomintang on the 15th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.  In this rare period of time, Zhang Hanqing also gained a lot.

    First, after the initial defeat in Congress, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Second Central Committee of the People's Party was held to review previous gains and losses and set the tone for the current situation.

    Under the influence of the majority of senior cadres headed by Zhang Hanqing, they believe that the current situation in Congress is still ¡°very healthy.¡±  The opposition faction became much more stable after being beaten, and the Feng faction, who was accustomed to wielding knives and guns, also began to use their fists in Congress.

    Because the political power is in hand, the overall situation is still favorable to the People's Party, but Zhang Hanqing is still thinking about how to smoothly and legitimately take over power in Congress.  After the last round of twists and turns, he has firmed up the idea that the People's Party will lead the Congress. However, it is a bit difficult for this kind of leadership to be carried out at a pace that does not sacrifice the process of national reform.

    The only change among the top political leaders is that Foreign Minister Gu Weijun has quietly entered the ranks of alternate members of the Politburo. Although it is certain that he will enter the Politburo circle, this alternate title is the only one and is tailor-made for him.

    There was no such title as an alternate member of the Politburo before, and the interpretation of its power was the same as that of a member of the Politburo. It was completely decided by Zhang Hanqing, which shows that Zhang Hanqing's prestige and influence within the People's Party are extremely high.

    The changes in military commanders are basically not big. Zhang Zongchang has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian Construction Corps and the construction of the "Tianlun Line" railway from Tianjin to Kulun.  In this way, the main force of his most convenient "foreign corps" was transferred out of Xinjiang and started another conquest.

    In addition, compared to the tepid progress of the army's construction, only the navy and air force are somewhat bright.  The reason is that when all industries in the country are changing rapidly, the Army has not changed significantly. In his opinion, it is actually a setback

    After the warm Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Zuolin decided to leave Beijing.

    For this security purpose, the Central Guard Regiment took out all the equipment of the custody box: he was riding in a large yellow steel plate bulletproof car of British origin modified by the Liaoning Mortar Factory. It is said to be able to withstand grenades|  It was attacked by bullets; there were guards a hundred meters away, and there were military and police guards along the way. With the power of sniper guns of that era, it was impossible to effectively kill it.

    Originally, Zhang Hanqing was expected to handle all military, political and state affairs during the period when he was appointed as agent, but Xiao Zhang had to go to Beizhen to pay homage to Feng Delin anyway, which made a group of Feng Faction veterans feel warm.

    No matter what, the young marshal is nostalgic and not only tries his best to give them enough courtesy in normal times, but only at this time can he test a person.  However, his schedule is two days slower than Zhang Zuolin, and it is expected that the father and son will meet in Beizhen by then.

    In fact, based on Zhang Hanqing¡¯s influence within the People¡¯s Party and his promotion of more than half of the middle and senior officers of the People¡¯s Army, he is already the de facto number one person in the Republic of China, but he has always behaved relatively low-key.

    Since the Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang is running the country in an orderly manner administratively, and Zhang Zuoxiang in the Military Commission is in charge of the general, Jiang Baili is in charge of national defense construction, Han Linchun is the military counselor, and Jiang Deng is selecting Wang Yizhe and others to control the political affairs, why should he use force?

    His advantage lies in thinking about the overall strategic situation. He is not good at presiding over work step by step, so why bother to insist on it?  Wouldn't it be better to just be free and easy like this?  Not wanting to do this has actually earned him a reputation as someone who does not seize power.

    So Zhang Zuolin left Beijing, and although Zhang Hanqing was nominally acting as an agent for military and political affairs, he entrusted the Politburo and the Standing Committee to be responsible for all major national affairs.  He wanted to see if the People's Party without him could do anything that would make him feel reassured, or could it become a mature political party?

    At the Beijing Railway Station, Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuolin chatted intimately. The military and political officials who saw them off smiled at the harmony between the father and son, and felt deeply warm.  Wu Junsheng and Zhang Zuoxiang were also among the farewell crowd. To them, this was no different from returning to their hometown to pay homage.

    Accompanying them were Jin Yunpeng, He Fenglin, Liu Zhe, Yu Guohan, Yan Zepu, Zhang Zuolin¡¯s sixth aunt and third son Zhang Xuezeng, Japanese consultant Machino Kazuo and others.  These were either former dignitaries who had lost power, or Zhang Zuolin's personal advisers, all surrounding him like stars.

    Yang Yuxun, deputy director of the Central Security Bureau and commander of the Central Security Division, accompanied him, along with a security brigade; Zhang Xuecheng, deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee and Central Security Bureau, set out in Shenyang in advance.

    "It's really a heart-to-heart connection between father and son,"In the past, people still respected him because he brought political power from the barrel of a gun, but now they consider him from the bottom of their hearts to be the leader of the Republic of China.

    The political situation in Northeast China is very good, and the economy also shows the enthusiasm of accumulation, which makes Zhang Zuolin feel very comfortable; as for the army, it is the old foundation from which he started. He is loyal and has survived the hail of bullets.

    So when Xiqia led a large number of senior officers from the Shenyang Military Region to visit Zhang Zuolin, he was completely intoxicated in the friendly atmosphere as they reunited with old friends.

    The Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang is still the same as before, and Zhang Zuolin stayed here with great interest until the end of September.  On the eve of Feng Delin's funeral, he decided to set off.

    When Zhang Xuecheng, the chief of bodyguard who accompanied him personally throughout the trip, his nephew, the first deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee and deputy head of the Central Guard Corps, and Xi Qia, chief of staff of the Shenyang Military Region, asked about his travel plan  , Zhang Zuolin said without thinking: "In three days, we will go from Xinmin to Beining!"

    In his opinion, no matter how rampant the Japanese are, aren't most of Shenyang City still under the control of the Shenyang Security Command?  Although there are Japanese troops stationed in Xinmin, the Shenyang Military Region is within easy reach, with up to six elite troops scattered around. What do the Japanese dare to do to me?

    Zhang Xuecheng and Xiqia looked at each other inadvertently, and they could see a hint of coldness in each other's eyes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
