The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 334 Two plus one equals five

The Marshal seemed to be thinking about something. "As for the character of this brat, I still trust him. But now you are just a nominal position in Jilin, and all matters, big and small, have to be entrusted to him. After thinking about it, I am still a little worried."

The previous incident between Yang Yuting and Xu Shuzheng also gave the Marshal a heavy lesson.

We still need to be a little more careful with these young, new-style officers.

Zhang Zuoxiang looked at the Marshal in confusion. He just opened his mouth but didn't say anything, but the old fox's cunning eyes swept over him: "This son-in-law is a stranger after all. We should let him go to our own family, so that we can live in peace!"

"I said let Xiaoxue go, and let your family Tingshu go too!"

what?
Zhang Zuoxiang was confused: My goodness, does this count as eating and taking at the same time?
"My handsome man! What do you mean by this?..."

Zhang Zuoxiang was so helpless that he almost collapsed. "For our Fengtian Army, I have even sacrificed my daughter! How come you still don't think this is enough?"

"Besides, didn't Ting Shu go to the Infantry Academy in Chiba Prefecture, Japan with Xuecheng? It's been less than a year since he left. Why, why are you calling him back again?"

He lost an eye after completing his studies last year, and his marriage to the Cao family failed... He has been depressed in the Zhang family and hardly even leaves his room.

His elder brother who died early only left him this root. How could the Marshal allow him to indulge himself like this?
So he organized a study tour group to Japan, and let him be the "leader", and then carefully selected dozens of young talents to accompany them - Zhang Zuoxian's eldest son Zhang Tinglan and second son Zhang Tingshu were among them.

"Hey, Minister, why do I feel like... are you really becoming more and more infected with the bad tempers of those scholars?"

Hearing that he was reluctant again, Marshal Zhang knocked on the table again, "Come on, let your son go and keep an eye on Jilin?"

Now that he had said this, Zhang Zuoxiang dared not say anything else.

He immediately stopped smiling bitterly and stood at attention, saying, "Okay! I'll call Ting Shu back right away... But Yu Shuai, if you have any other ideas, why don't we just talk to each other directly."

"Don't be thinking about my daughter yesterday and then targeting my son the next day."

When he said the second half of the sentence, Zhang Zuoxiang clearly had a helpless look on his face, which made the Marshal laugh: "Fuck it, we are just two brothers, can we really talk about yours?"

"Besides, as long as Ting Shu comes back, how can I, as his uncle, treat him badly? At the very least, I can give him the position of regiment commander or brigade commander!"

Zhang Zuoxiang's expression eased a little when he heard that the two officials were promoted immediately. He just responded with "Thank you for the favor, Marshal", and the old fox immediately said, "But have you heard? Jing Yan gave all the 500,000 yuan I allocated to him to his son."

Zhang Zuoxiang raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is not a big deal. Siping's business is just getting started, and the Meng family is in trouble - doesn't war cost money? Besides, Jilin Prefecture and Kuanchengzi have a lot of work to do, so everything needs money."

The Marshal glanced over and laughed again: "We are really a family so we should talk like a family... You don't understand what I mean."

"We are also thinking that everything in Jilin needs to be rebuilt! I just heard that the brat wants to expand the coal mine, build a power plant and a steel plant, where will it cost money?"

"Jing Yan gave 50 in one go. What about you? Will you give our nephew some extra money so that he can also join the game with money, which can also be regarded as a condition for entrusting him with an important task?"

Zhang Zuoxiang immediately understood what the Marshal meant: transferring his family secretary back to Jilin at this time would undoubtedly make him an "outsider" to Jiang Feilan's small group, and he might even be suspected by them.

But if he brought a large amount of money with him, even if Jiang Cheng was worried that Ting Shu was an imperial envoy "spying on military intelligence", he would more or less befriend him because of the money;
"Yes, at least Ting Shu won't be excluded by them... But aren't we being a little mean by doing this?"

Zhang Zuoxiang hesitated, but when he caught the Marshal's gaze, he immediately said, "Jiang Jingyan gave him 50, so I'll also give Ting Shu 50!"

The Marshal curled his lips, raised his hand and repeatedly pointed at him: "Oh, look at the position you hold! Your own son went to Jilin to expand the territory, and you gave him 50? What can you do with this?" Zhang Zuoxiang was embarrassed: "Marshal Yu, you also know that I have only taken over the 27th Division and the various affairs of Fengtian for a short time... I really have nothing on hand,"

The Marshal rolled his eyes at him. In fact, he knew in his heart that among the old brothers, Zhang Zuoxiang was the most capable one, and he was also the one who had turned himself into a poor official.

He basically spent every penny of the funds allocated by the higher authorities on practical purposes, and the amount of money he actually saved in his small treasury was also limited.

"have to!"

At this point, the Marshal patted the armrest of the recliner and stood up, "Since you call me uncle, I can't let my nephew Tingshu go to Jilin."

"Let's just add 200% and % of it, and take it from me... and raise a total of million for him!"

Zhang Zuoxiang was completely delighted when he heard this.

Whenever my son comes back, he will either be a regiment commander or a brigade commander; he will be airdropped to the 29th Division in Jilin. No matter who the 200 million is given to, it will eventually be used in Jilin.

He is the governor of Jilin, and his children and future grandchildren will settle down here, so it's not a loss no matter how you look at it!
Seeing the old man's eyebrows relax, the Marshal waved his hand happily and said, "Alright! It's settled--"

"I don't like the name Kuanchengzi... I think we should listen to that brat and change the name to Changchun! The capital of Jilin should be changed to this place."

With just one word from him, the King of Northeast, the important affairs of the province were finalized.

The situation in Northeast China has completely changed.

"Minister, I will take Han Qing to the pass in two days. The matter of Cao Saner must be decided."

At this point, the old fox's face suddenly became solemn, "Little Xu and Old Duan, those two bastards, almost ruined our Fengtian Army——"

"This time, Old Duan can't be kept. Xu Shuzheng, at worst, will have to be stripped of his position as the Northwest Army Governor!"

…………

On the second day after the city was named Changchun, Jiang Cheng received the money from his father.

All of it was directly assigned to Sun Zhengnan, who is now the chief of the Changchun Police Department and the patrol team, and is directly in charge of the daily lives of civilians after the war.

After lying on the desk for a while, Jiang Cheng felt that his temples had been throbbing violently recently.

Too tired. There is much more work to do after the war than fighting. There is also a meeting to be held later:

After the war, the entire city was under martial law, but this was not a long-term solution.

Various infrastructure projects, including investment in building factories, schools, and hospitals, cannot be accomplished by the army alone.

Once the situation stabilized, he also planned to bring his entire family to the capital. In addition, he heard from Jiang Dengxuan that Zhang Zuoxiang's second son, Zhang Tingshu, would also come to Changchun.
