The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

As a major stop on the way to Fengtian, the Marshal must rest his troops here and replenish some military supplies.

Liu Runchuan and all the senior officials of Jinzhou stood in the cool breeze for more than two hours before they arrived.

"Master, you have worked really hard on this journey. I have prepared a few glasses of light wine in the mansion to welcome you."

Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, the garrison commander stepped forward cautiously and spoke softly to the Marshal.

Everyone knew that after such a terrible defeat, the Marshal must be in a very bad mood. Liu Runchuan didn't dare to say anything more, and didn't even dare to look at his face.

"Well, everyone has worked hard."

At this time, there was no emotional change on the old fox's face, and he quietly left the station and got on the bus.

We arrived home in silence for dinner and rest. Sure enough, the bad news arrived the next morning: the capital sent a telegram to the whole country, ordering Marshal Zhang to step down.

At the same time, the second decree arrived:
The capital city appointed Wu Junsheng as the inspector general of the three eastern provinces and concurrently the military governor of Fengtian;
Jiang Cheng was promoted to the governor of northern Mongolia, in charge of Chahar, Suiyuan, Rehe, Mongolia and other places;

Feng Delin was promoted to governor of Jilin;
Bao Guiqing was promoted to governor of Heilongjiang.

Even when facing Wu Peifu's army of hundreds of thousands, Jiang Cheng remained calm.

But staring at the thunderous decrees from the capital, this was the first time he felt his head buzzing since the war broke out.

After the first Zhi-Feng War in history, there was indeed such a situation - Cao Saner and Wu Peifu planned to use a strategy of sowing discord to throw the entire area outside the Great Wall into chaos.

However, the several people who were appointed not only refused, but also responded in unison that they only recognized the Marshal as their superior and would not recognize anyone else.

This shows, on one hand, how great the Marshal's influence is on the entire Northeast.

His pounding heart hadn't yet subsided, so Jiang Cheng quickly asked Li Shitou to get some casual clothes.

Clearly a little surprised by his order, the loyal guard did not ask any questions but immediately stood up and turned around.

Jiang Cheng quickly got up, washed, changed his clothes and went out, but he found that the entire Liu Mansion was suddenly on high alert. Looking out the window from the second floor corner, he saw teams of soldiers running quickly on the empty streets.

not good.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly went back upstairs and quickly ordered Li Shitou to arrange for the escort brigade to respond at any time.

His arrival has brought many changes to this time and space... We should be prepared for anything that is possible.

Jiang Cheng knew very well that he had proved his loyalty to the Marshal by taking Feng Yong and Zhang Xuecheng to Luanzhou to fight that battle.

But with the dual pressures of defeat and resignation, God knows what will happen in this time and space.

Just as Jiang Cheng and Li Shitou were secretly planning their retreat, there was a light knock on the door.

The two of them suddenly turned around nervously and put their right hands on their lower backs at the same time.

"Master Jiang, it's me, Feng Qing..." Li Shitou let out a long sigh of relief and hurried over to open the door. Zhang Xuecheng followed behind Feng Qing: "Feilan, hurry downstairs! Second Master and the others are here!"

So fast?
He never expected that Wu Junsheng and others could run all the way to Jinzhou so quickly.

When they went downstairs, Zhang Xuecheng whispered the whole story to Jiang Cheng.

Hai Pingchuan's wife, Cao Shiying, was at her parents' home taking care of her pregnancy. She heard a lot of things at the Cao Mansion and quickly told Hai Pingchuan the news of the appointment in secret.

All of these messages were intercepted by the Marshal without exception, and Jiang Cheng didn't receive any of them!
The most terrifying thing is that if Zhang Xuecheng and his brothers and Feng Yong had spoken up for him that day, the Marshal might have been able to control Jiang Cheng as soon as he left Shanhaiguan.

As if he could see Jiang Cheng's sudden change of mood, Zhang Xuecheng quickly said, "Actually, my uncle never thought about this matter at all. It's just that a few people around him kept complaining about it, so..."

Glancing at his guilty expression, Jiang Cheng snorted and laughed twice: "How many people? I think it's probably just our chief of staff, right?"

Zhang Xuecheng smiled awkwardly, stammered and said nothing more.

As they went downstairs, they saw Feng Yong, his father Feng Delin, and Wu Junsheng and his son coming in. When they looked up and saw Jiang Cheng, Wu Taixun was the first to say sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this our future governor of Mobei? Good brother, Young Quan would like to congratulate you first!"

Jiang Cheng was immediately angry, but when he saw Wu Junsheng and the others were worried, he realized that this guy might have been instructed to test them, and he quickly pretended to be about to cry:

"What are you laughing at? I was completely stunned after hearing such a thunderbolt. If we lost our commander outside the Great Wall, everyone would lose their backbone - what kind of bullshit commander-in-chief would we be!"

After saying this, Jiang Cheng's face became even more bitter. He shook his casual clothes in front of everyone and said with a sad face: If the capital city insists on making him take up this useless position, he will simply resign and go back to his hometown in Shanxi with his father.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Junsheng and Feng Delin exchanged glances quickly. Wu Datou held his hand and said, "Hey, nephew, Youquan was also anxious and angry. He said such nonsense to your brother. You must not take it to heart!"

Without waiting for Jiang Cheng to say a few polite words, Feng Delin grabbed him and went upstairs side by side, cursing Cao San'er and Wu Xiucai as they walked, saying that they were good-for-nothings and that they could come up with such a dirty trick to alienate the relationship between them brothers.

Jiang Cheng didn't say a word the whole time, but before they went upstairs and entered the door of the reception room, they heard the old fox's violent scolding coming from inside.

When the guards at the gate saw Wu Junsheng and his companions coming in casual clothes, they were stunned for a moment and exchanged glances with Zhao Xishun, who immediately greeted them with a smile on his face.

A group of officers of all levels of the Fengtian Army were standing there in a huge crowd. The Marshal was wearing a brand new military uniform and was blowing his beard, glaring and cursing. It was seen that Wu Junsheng was leading the way, and the third brother and the brat and others had all arrived. There was a pause for a few seconds.

After just a few seconds of staring, the men who had just entered the room lowered their heads and dared not say a word... and only stood at the end of the generals.

After noticing their reactions, the Marshal continued to denounce them as if nothing had happened:

"On the way back, I heard a lot of people calling me Zhang Yuting a pig... Damn it, you guys are calling me a pig, aren't you all worse than pigs?"

"Think about it carefully. Damn it. We wasted 30 million military funds in just 10 days of fighting. Have you ever seen such an expensive pig? Besides, Mr. Wu took away 70,000 in one go."

"Damn it... there are really more than 70,000 real pigs running around with their big butts. It would take Mr. Wu half a month to catch them, right?"

Although these words were extremely funny, everyone present lowered their heads as if not daring to breathe. (End of this chapter)
