The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Jiang Cheng knew clearly in his heart that no matter how big the defeat was, this general was undoubtedly the leader outside the Great Wall.

From Yang Yuting in the distance to Wu Junsheng, Feng Delin and others nearby, everyone recognized his dominant position from the bottom of their hearts.

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes and remained calm, listening to the cursing from the other side getting louder and louder, and soon mixed in some words like "I don't want to live anymore, I'll find a rope to hang myself - I've raised a bunch of pigs for all these years, what's the point of living" and so on.

At this time, Yang Yuting and other talents ran up to persuade them. Wu Junsheng could not hold back and went forward with Feng Delin. Unexpectedly, the commander did not show much emotion when he saw the two of them. He just said calmly: "Hey, you two are here? And where's that brat? Is he here too?"

He had intended to just serve as a background member this time and not show his face, but unexpectedly the Marshal called out his name right away. Jiang Cheng quickly answered loudly, "Yes," and trotted forward.

But before he could say anything, the old fox snorted and sat down on the bench, propped his hands on his knees, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's good that they are all here!"

"Come on, it's a good opportunity for us brothers to discuss things. As soon as we hand over the affairs outside the Great Wall... the provincial capital, and the soldiers we have, I will take Xiao Liuzi and my family back to my hometown in Xinmin!"

Hearing this, Wu Junsheng actually rushed forward, knelt down and kowtowed, grabbed the Marshal's military boots and cried bitterly.

This series of movements was as smooth as flowing water, which made Jiang Cheng stunned... Especially the big round butt that was sticking up and the servile look made him suddenly want to laugh.

Jiang Cheng held his breath and quickly held it back. He felt so hurt that tears came out. But as luck would have it, the Marshal looked around in shock and his eyes just fell on him - the flashing tears immediately moved the old fox, and his face suddenly softened.

He winked at Zhao Xishun, who immediately understood and asked all the irrelevant people present to leave.

Feng Delin was even more shrewd. He pulled Jiang Cheng, Feng Yong, Wu Taixun and others over and made them kneel down, waving their hands repeatedly to show that they would never obey his orders.

"Eh? What's the point of that..."

From the corner of his eye, he could clearly see that the old fox was enjoying it, but he still deliberately suppressed his expression, "Is it different for any of our brothers to sit in this position?"

"You sit down, it's better than asking the capital to send someone else, right? We are all brothers, don't refuse - you see, I have also called Lin Ge, it's a good day, let's hand over the official business today."

"Well! As a defeated general, I don't have to go back to Fengtian to embarrass my master. I will take Xiao Liuzi with me and go north from Jinzhou to my hometown in Xinmin!"

"It's really boring to be an official."

After hearing this, Wu Junsheng quickly raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his head and said, "Master Shuai, please stop joking with us..."

"Let's take a good look. Which of these is not made of this material?"

"If you want us to herd horses, fight wars, and guard your house, that's fine; but if you really want to deal with finances or be a foreign minister, none of us can come! If you ask me to do it, I can't do it for half a day--"

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and immediately replied, "Master, we have discussed this... This is a plot by Cao Saner and Wu Xiucai to sow discord!"

"He is taking advantage of the chaos we are in right now and wants to use power to lure us into the chaos in Fengtian. How is this different from what King Huai of Chu said back then: whoever enters Xianyang first will be king?"

"In the past, they wanted Liu Bei and Xiang Yu to fight each other. Now, they want our own people outside the Great Wall to fight each other!"

Jiang Cheng mentioned Liu Bang and Xiang Yu at this moment because he knew very well that the Marshal understood this period of history. When he invited Wang Yongjiang to take charge of the police department, he said:

There are too many Liu Bangs in Fengtian City now, and they have to find a way to become Xiang Yu.

As expected, the Marshal quickly came back to his senses after hearing this. Looking around at the old men present, the old fox finally said in a calm tone: "Can you all get up first?"

As he spoke, a faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips under his big beard, but the shrewd old man immediately frowned and said lightly, "Kneel down, I'm much more tired than you."

Several people looked at each other, and none of them dared to stand up first; but the Marshal immediately said impatiently, "Fuck it, what's the matter...I have to help you up myself, right?"

As he spoke, he actually bowed and leaned towards Wu Junsheng who was closest to him, shocking Wu Dashetou so much that he quickly stood up.

Everyone stood up one by one. Jiang Cheng looked at the people holding their breath, and finally took the lead and said, "Master, the capital is obviously breaking off relations with us now."

"The next step will definitely be to constantly find ways to get benefits from us... Master, think carefully, we have everything we need in the Northeast, why should we continue to play with them?"

At this moment, the old fox stood up and said to his subordinates: "Haha, I thought about it on the way back——"

"If you guys are still willing to follow me, Zhang Yuting, I will officially announce the autonomy of the provinces outside the Great Wall!"

Finally, I took this step.

Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and like everyone else, straightened his chest, and the mountains responded.

In June 1922, federal autonomy was declared outside the Great Wall.

Marshal Zhang was naturally elected as the leader outside the Great Wall. At this point, the Zhili and Feng families completely fell out, and the confrontation between them, which was based on open and covert fighting, turned into an irreconcilable confrontation.

…………

In the hot July, Jiang Cheng walked out of the car arm in arm with Zhang Tingxue, who was dressed in pure white silk.

The two men stepped forward at the same time and helped Zhang Zuoxiang down from his vice-presidential seat.

"Commander-in-Chief! You've worked hard along the way!"

Zhao Xishun, accompanied by two guards, trotted over to take the luggage, saluted and said with a smile, "Master Shuai has already prepared a welcoming banquet, please come in..."

After Zhang Zuoxiang returned from Tianjin after signing the treaty, he went straight to Fengtian. Jiang Cheng had just returned to Jilin Prefecture when he was recalled by an order from the Marshal, who required him to bring his wife with him.

Jiang Cheng didn't understand the reason and was afraid that he had been tricked.

Later, after receiving a telegram from Zhang Zuoxiang, he settled all the major and minor matters in Jilin and rushed here full of doubts.

On the way here with his father-in-law, Jiang Cheng asked him many times what the Marshal wanted to see him about, but Zhang Zuoxiang just smiled and said it was a good thing.

When they arrived at the front hall, they were naturally treated to delicious food and drinks. The Marshal was still in the lobby of the office and saw that the Japanese businessman had not returned yet. The Fifth Lady and Yu Fengzhi were the ones who greeted him the whole time.

I haven't seen this beautiful young marshal's wife for two years. She has become more graceful and elegant, and her every move is like that of a lady from a noble family. (End of this chapter)
