The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 321: Expelled from Fengtian
Yang Yuting held his breath.

Although he could still come up with a fancy excuse for the Marshal's question just now, when Lu Jianzhang was shot dead at the military headquarters in Tianjin, even he was stunned!
No one had discussed this matter with him at all, and he didn't even know the main content of the military governors' meeting in Tianjin.

The batch of equipment worth 40 million from Qinhuangdao not only earned Xu Shuzheng the trust of the Marshal, but also helped him, the Chief of the General Staff, to gain a rising status in the Fengtian Army.

When the seven mixed brigades were successfully formed, the Marshal would obey his orders even more...

Apart from the stubborn Jiang family, General Yang could bully anyone he wanted, especially helping the Marshal to push Feng Lao San, and became the first meritorious official.

Apart from being a little bit arrogant, this guy is of course more closely united with Xu Shuzheng.

"Master, let's not talk about this place... even the entire Northeast, you, Master Yu, should have the final say! I..."

Chief of Staff Yang, who is usually eloquent, seemed to have eaten a numb seed and could not even utter a complete sentence.

But Marshal Zhang, who was already extremely angry, would never tolerate his quibbling.

He immediately slammed the table, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You bastard, do you still know that I, Zhang Yuting, have the final say in the Northeast now?"

"I thought you only recognized Xu Shuzheng! He is now my second-in-command, but he is bent on helping his old Duan and putting the blame on my Fengjun! From now on, who will be held responsible?"

"Will Fengtian Army become the scapegoat for his Anhui Army in the future?"

Hearing the Marshal's increasingly angry words, Jiang Lanxuan, who was standing at the front, looked cold in the eyes.

He knew very well that his son and daughter-in-law were still inside the country and were probably well aware of the matter.

"Chief of Staff, Marshal Yu has already said... the water inside the pass is deep and muddy, we must not rashly reach into the pass."

Yang Yuting, who was holding his breath in embarrassment at the Marshal's reprimand, suddenly had a spark in his eyes.

You are so good, Jiang Jingyan, taking advantage of the situation, right?
At this time, Jiang Lanxuan was in charge of Rehe and acting as the 28th Division. He was probably holding a grudge against the Division because he had previously ordered them to cross the pass and fight south.

"Of course I agree with what Mr. Shuai said."

Yang Yuting glanced at him coldly, then set his eyes on the Marshal, "But the Marshal also said that Lao Duan and Xiao Xu are helpers, we should,"

This time, the one who interrupted him was Zhang Zuoxiang, who was standing on the other side of Jiang Lanxuan: "Marshal Yu... I dare not agree with what Chief of Staff Yang said."

"According to reliable clues, during his tenure as Chief of Staff, he conspired with Xu Shuzheng to develop his personal power - in the name of our Fengtian Army, he embezzled funds from the capital;"

"The emperor originally allocated 500 million yuan for military pay, but now only 130 million yuan has been received!"

Yang Yuting's hands and feet suddenly became cold.

He couldn't deny this - the nearly 400 million yuan was swallowed up by him and Xu Shuzheng together, and they have secretly recruited four brigades of new soldiers in Wuhan and other places!

The person in charge of finances in the military department now is Zhang Zuoxiang... He and two staff officers who knew the truth had already cleaned up the accounts!

Who told Zhang Zuoxiang?
These two in-laws are planning to kill me.

"Ha ha……"

Having said this, Marshal Zhang's face changed from anger to shaking his head and sneering loudly.

But the murderous intent that was gradually brewing in his eyes made Yang Yuting, who had been calm and composed, tremble continuously.

"He first planned to attack Jingyan's 28th Division... but when the beads on the abacus didn't make any sound, he transferred Ji Jinchun to the Hunan battlefield as a scapegoat?"

"No matter who it is, no one can go. Call the people inside the pass... call them back."

The Marshal stopped laughing and spoke calmly, "Brothers, you all listen to me, right?"

As he said this, his hawk-like eyes kept glancing at Yang Yuting. He was clearly a little unsteady on his feet, and the senior generals in the office all shouted in unison, "I'll do as you say."

The Marshal laughed again and slowly picked up the thick account book from the desk.

One step, another step.

Accompanied by Zhao Xishun, this little man who was about to become the most powerful person in Northeast China stood coldly in front of Yang Yuting.

He stretched out his right hand and threw the account book to him.

Swallowing heavily, he clearly saw Zhao Xishun reaching for the gun.

They are disloyal, colluding with outsiders to embezzle military funds, and also cultivating their own factions...

Any of these is enough for any master to shoot me.

"Take it."

The Marshal suddenly shouted, startling Yang Yuting so much that he quickly held the thick account book with both hands.

"I have nothing to say to my old classmate, right? We have entered the customs - and we have supported Old Duan, too. I have done my best, right?"

Yang Yuting swallowed hard, stood at attention and knocked his boots, then said, "Master, I..."

The Marshal suddenly raised his hand, snatched off his military cap, and threw it hard on the account book he was holding in both hands.

"I'll give you three days to get out of Fengtian."

The Marshal turned suddenly and said to his loyal guard, "Xishun."

Zhao Xishun immediately stood at attention and saluted, put his right hand on his pistol, and pushed Yang Yuting out.

"You are all my Zhang's people, you guys should know which side of the kang is hot, right?"

"He eats my Zhang family's food, but doesn't do anything for my Zhang family, and doesn't speak for my Zhang family. Why do I keep this bastard?"

After saying this, he returned to his desk.

"Jingyan, Fuchen, you two handled this matter well."

He raised his hand and tapped the desk thoughtfully, "It seems that this old brother is the most trustworthy."

…………

After delivering gifts and reporting to the Marshal's Mansion, Jiang Cheng went to visit his father-in-law and Liu Runchuan.

Only then did he learn that Yang Yuting had been dismissed from his post and expelled from Fengtian by the Marshal himself. He was only given three days to pack his luggage and was driven away in a very embarrassing manner.

As soon as they went out, they met Jiang Dengxuan and Zhang Ming - after this man successfully led them to escape from Luanzhou, he defected to the Fengtian Army;
Because he could read and write and came from the Anhui Army, Yang Yuting always had a good impression of him, so he stayed with him and worked in the General Staff Headquarters with his old classmate Jiang Dengxuan.
However, this Chief of General Staff had also lost his power, and the two were somewhat worried about whether they would be implicated, so they took the gifts to Zhang Zuoxiang to try their luck.

When meeting old friends, they naturally had to have a few drinks. Jiang Cheng asked Zhang Tingxue to stay with her father first, and then he took one of them in each hand and went to the pub.

When he was studying at the Military Academy, he stored a lot of good wine in the Yangchun Tavern on Zhulin Road.

As soon as I entered the door, the boss ran up to greet me with a big smile on his face: "I said it was quite cold this morning, why are the magpies calling so loudly?"

"It turns out that it's you, Mr. Jiang! Please come in quickly... Haozi, Haozi, quickly cook some delicious dishes for Mr. Jiang, and bring over a jar of that good wine!"

At first, he had a fight with Meng Enyuan's youngest son Meng Botao, and Jiang Cheng gave him a small yellow croaker so that he could rebuild his shop.
