The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

When Zhang Xuecheng, in disguise, arrived at Jinan Prefecture covered in dust and dirt, his brother, the young marshal, was worried about the recent stalemate in Shandong with Guo Guizi.

Today, Jinan Prefecture is a place where many forces are intertwined. In addition to the Japanese, all the Western powers are eyeing this vast and fertile territory.

"Xuecheng, why are you here?"

Seeing his brother dressed like a beggar with his head and feet covered, Zhang Hanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Can't you be more open and aboveboard after getting dressed like this?"

As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the thermos, made him a cup of hot tea, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Come and try it, it is said to be a specialty tea from Shandong... It really smells good to me!"

But Zhang Xuecheng didn't answer. He pretended to be in a hurry and slapped his thigh and said, "How can you still have the leisure to drink tea? Do you know that the Zhi army and the Anhui army are gathering in large numbers and rushing to Shandong?"

"Speaking of which, Jinan Prefecture and even the whole of Shandong are about to become a battlefield. You, what are you doing... Hey!"

what?
Startled for nothing, Zhang Hanqing's eyes suddenly widened: "What? Who told you this... How come I haven't heard of this at all until now?"

During this period, riots broke out in almost all prefectures and counties in Shandong, especially in Jinan, which had been recovered. Students were still on strike and workers were still on strike...

Now that the Guard Brigade has moved in, the order in the city is still in chaos——

In addition, all Japanese garrisons along the Shandong coast were increasing their forces, and they were rotating their troops almost every day...

Guo Songling was so anxious that he personally took the scouts to look around, fearing that something unexpected might happen in the capital.

Now his brother suddenly said that both Zhi and Anhui were deploying troops and were planning to start a war in Shandong... Isn't this going to cause a big mess?

However, what Zhang Xuecheng said next surprised him even more: "Brother, no matter where I heard it from, you should pack up your bedroll and run away with me!"

you……

Zhang Hanqing's face darkened in an instant, and he glared at him: "Damn it, what nonsense are you talking about? Where am I running to? I am in Jinan now... and I am the highest-ranking officer of the Jinan garrison."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xuecheng turned around and called out to Wu Dongyun and Zhao Xishun: "Are you still looking here? Hurry up and pack up my brother's things. We have to hurry back to Fengtian overnight!"

Wu Dongyun didn't say it, but Zhao Xishun was arranged by the Marshal to keep a close eye on his son.

"Han Qing, I did this, and Zhu Qing was right. Let's pack up and go back to Fengtian!"

In fact, seeing Zhang Xuecheng's dignified look, the perceptive Zhao Xishun had clearly sensed something was wrong, and after hearing his statement, his nerves suddenly became tense.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Mao Chen hasn't come back yet... Besides, what's going on around Jinan Prefecture? Even if it's true as you said, I didn't even fire a single shot in this battle, and the enemy ran away first. What have I become?"

Zhang Hanqing looked around at everyone and immediately refused in a stiff tone - but his words were righteous and awe-inspiring. Fortunately, Jiang Cheng was not there, otherwise he would have laughed out loud on the spot:
Will you run less in the future?
Zhang Xuecheng didn't care about all that. He turned around and gave the two of them another order. Without further ado, he asked Wu Dongyun to prepare the car and Zhao Xishun to pack up.

How could the young commander tolerate his brother's behavior, which was no different from that of a bandit? He cursed and even pulled out his gun on the spot, but his brother had been a commander in Hunchun for nearly a year;
In addition to dealing with rough and brutal soldiers, fleets from various countries, envoys, and all kinds of people, they had long developed the temperament of brutal warlords. In an instant, they raised their hands to grab the guns and shot them in the neck!
Zhao Xishun was carrying a large suitcase and walking down the stairs at the end of the corridor when he saw him using force to knock his young master unconscious.

"Zhu Qing, what are you doing?"

Without any response, Zhang Xuecheng carried his fainted brother on his back and scolded, "What the hell are you talking about? Hurry up and catch up. We have to find a way to get out of the city!"

"Go back to Fengtian, quickly!"

…………Although what the Second Prince did was indeed outrageous, the information about the "Zhili-Anhui War" that he kept talking about made people vigilant.

After all, everyone can see that the young marshal came to Jinan Prefecture purely to gain some military merits.

No one really believed that he dared or could really achieve success in such a big melting pot environment like the interior of China.

For the people inside the Great Wall, expanding the territory is certainly a good thing, but everyone knows that if an emergency really occurs, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of the young master.

He was taken out of the city overnight and headed straight for Luanzhou, but as soon as their military boots landed on the Fengtian Army's territory, they were greeted by... an army brigade!
The leader of the team was none other than the Jilin Governor Jiang Cheng, Guo Xipeng and Huang Yongan.

And Hai Pingchuan, who was squeezed out of Jinan Prefecture by Guo Songling during this period, was also here.

Fully armed, the strong smell of gunpowder made Zhang Hanqing, who had been cursing since he woke up, lose consciousness for a while.

"you……"

After a while, he asked in shock, "What is this for!?"

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled faintly, then took off his cloak and put it on him. He held him in one hand and walked towards the temporary command center, then explained:

Wu Peifu, who was in Luoyang, assembled his troops and suddenly announced that he would move into Shandong.

The reason was that they were dissatisfied with the results of the Treaty of Versailles and wanted to drive out foreign enemies and regain their homeland.

"Okay, are you here to help?"

Zhang Hanqing said sarcastically, "From what you said, he must be aiming at Jinan, right?"

Jiang Cheng nodded: "It's called fighting against foreign enemies, but in fact they are taking advantage of the chaos to seize the territory."

Zhang Hanqing cursed: The Japanese are about to shit on your neck, and yet you still want to seize Jinan Prefecture.

"Don't even mention this guy. Even Old Duan and Xiao Xu are eyeing Shandong."

Hai Pingchuan took over his scolding, his expression not without sarcasm, "Oh, let alone the Zhili clique and the Anhui clique, aren't there also many people in our Fengtian Army who want to grab territory?"

After saying this, Zhang Hanqing glared at him angrily - but when he saw Hai Pingchuan and his generals, he suppressed his anger and said, "Hai Pingchuan, what do you mean?"

She rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously: "Literally."

It was obvious that Jinan Prefecture was taken by them from Jilin, regardless of whether they used a spokesperson or not;
But you just took advantage of the situation, only thinking about gaining military merit and grabbing territory, and now you have made Shandong a mess...

In the end, all the Zhi-An troops were called in, so our Jilin Army has to clean up the mess, right?
"okay!"

In fact, his brother's speech was what Jiang Cheng wanted to say the most;
Of course, he had to wait until everything that needed to be said had been said before he stopped her, "Now, no matter what you say, who is our enemy?"

"Don't forget, Maochen and the Guard Brigade are still in Jinan!" (End of this chapter)
