The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

After hearing what his brother said, Zhang Tinglan was the first to say with an unhappy look on his face: "Oh, you are really interesting. You don't feel sorry for the soldiers who fought bravely, nor do you feel sorry for the people who were harmed by the war. Instead, you feel sorry for the instigator of all this?"

Jiang Cheng didn't respond. During the whole conversation between the two brothers, he just smoked heavily facing the open French window.

Everything you see is covered in silver. From this angle, you can just see a commercial street in the distance, a bustling scene of peace and prosperity.

But the biting cold wind blowing in his face caused a vague sense of uneasiness to appear in Jiang Cheng's dark eyes.

"It's not even the twelfth lunar month yet, and it's already so cold."

As if noticing the expression of her boss, Zhang Tinglan said meaningfully, "It's really a little early for the situation to change."

Jiang Cheng turned his head slightly, looked at him meaningfully, and smiled faintly: "Why, brother, are you still afraid of the cold?"

Knowing that his words were a double entendre, Zhang Tinglan lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "If we are well prepared in spring, summer and autumn, what's the harm in encountering a cold winter?"

After he said this, his younger brother curled his lips and said, "I said you two are just talking in a riddle in front of me—"

"Now that the Guo Guizi have finished cleaning up, is it Jilin's turn next? The cold weather you two mentioned is coming soon, so we must be prepared!"

Jiang Cheng turned around and gently locked the French window, then heaved a sigh of relief and looked back at the two of them: "Old Huang was almost used as a gun, but fortunately Brother Feng and Xuecheng persuaded him, so nothing happened."

Zhang Tingshu also heard about it, and stepped forward and said impatiently: "This move by the surname Yang is too mean. If this is to let Han Qing take action against Old Huang, should we take action or not?"

"Let's do it. We will also become the rebels in Northeast China. The Japanese who have been eyeing us covetously will most likely come directly to Jilin under the same banner."

Zhang Tinglan also said: "Tingshu's words are - the Manchurian Railway used Siping as the boundary, the north belonged to us, and the south belonged to Japan;"

"But this time when the Guo devils rebelled, the Marshal looked for his brothers one after another, but he couldn't use them, so he set his sights on the Kwantung Army... I have an acquaintance in Fengtian, and he revealed to me that in addition to preparing a sum of military funds for the devils, the Marshal also planned to hand over the Siping to Changchun line to the Japanese as a 'reward for sending troops'!"

Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He knew about this incident: Unable to defeat Guo Guizi, Marshal Zhang was extremely anxious and almost "burned down the Marshal's Mansion";
Later, he gave his Japanese adviser a sum of money and asked the Kwantung Army to agree to fight the Guo devils. The Japanese took the opportunity to put forward a number of conditions to the Marshal, including harsh conditions such as building railways and controlling mines.

Under those circumstances, the Marshal naturally had no choice but to agree to everything… So for many years to come, the Japs urged the old fox to accept the offer quickly;
But the Marshal pushed back and forth, and a few radical devils, who were so angry that they blew him to death.

"You're actually using what we have to feed the Japanese!"

Zhang Tingshu was immediately furious. "Once the Siping to Changchun section is handed over to the Japanese, what will we do with the road from Zhengjiatun to Rehe and northern Mongolia?"

"Also, the several internal lines within our territory are no longer usable!"

Jiang Cheng sneered: "No wonder the Japanese are so eager to sow discord between Jilin and Heilongjiang. If we open up the road from Heihe to Qiqihar and then to Harbin, it will be difficult for the Japanese to attack again."

The two brothers were a little nervous. Zhang Tinglan bit her lip and said, "Uncle Feng went to see Yang Yuting. He must have tried to scare him..."

"But he is targeting Yang Yuting, and I'm afraid that the one who will suffer in the end is Marshal. Think about it, if our brothers are helping the Jiang family, it will be more likely to arouse Marshal's dissatisfaction." Jiang Cheng raised his hand and motioned for the two to sit down: "In addition to targeting us, Yang Yuting will probably make a big fuss about Han Qing's matter--"

"Think about it. This time, the Guo Guizi rebelled and fought under the name of Han Qing. Since ancient times, the replacement of the old and new monarchs has often seen bloodshed. Especially when there are jesters making trouble, it will be even more difficult to deal with."

He rested one hand on the armrest of the sofa, thought for a moment and then said, "I originally thought that after the Kwantung Army had all withdrawn to Luda, I would let Shitou withdraw our people from Jinzhou."

"But now it seems that we have to be on guard against Yang Yuting's sudden attack."

The two brothers' eyebrows jumped at the same time, and after exchanging glances, they said in unison: "So what are your plans next?"

Jiang Cheng looked far-sighted, but suddenly revealed a sly smile: "This time, we still have to let the eldest sister take action."

…………

The "big sister" that Jiang Cheng mentioned this time was not Zhang Shoufang, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, but Yu Fengzhi, the wife of the young marshal.

In fact, this elder sister has been troubled recently by a series of troubles caused by Guo Songling's anti-Fengtian movement.

After all, it was Yu Fengzhi who first established a relationship with Guo Songling since he started studying at the Military Academy.

Han Shuxiu built a small school in Fengtian, and the young marshal paid a lot of money for her in the name of Yu Fengzhi;
Later, the relationship between the two sides became better and better, and this elder sister also acted as a "middleman" and did a lot of coordination work.

While Jiang Cheng was on the phone with her, Yu Fengzhi also sighed: "What you said is true. I have been watching Han Qing and Mao Chen all the way."

Jiang Cheng also sighed: "Yeah, thinking back to the time when we were together in the Military Academy, I always feel like, oh! Let's not talk about these things."

"Big sister, I'm really worried that Han Qing will get into trouble... Think about it, this time Mao Chen is attacking his name. If I don't quickly cut off my relationship with Mao Chen, I'm afraid that he will get into trouble again."

In fact, Yu Fengzhi has also been troubled by this matter recently.

Guo Songling was executed by Huang Yongan, and his body was ordered to be exposed outside a small river in Jinzhou. It was not allowed to be collected until three days later.

However, Zhang Hanqing offended his father again for this and insisted on personally erecting a monument and burying the couple... The general was so angry that he was shaking all over, and asked, "You are erecting a monument for the rebels, are you feeling sorry that he didn't succeed in the rebellion?"

The two bad tempers had another big fight and parted unhappily. No matter how she and Fifth Madam Shou Yi tried to reconcile them, they could not do anything.

"This incident is too big, and it also cost Sun Liuye his life... In addition, the entire Third and Fifth Corps were almost completely destroyed. Think about what Guizi Guo said, 'Support Han Qing and reorganize the Northeast'. His methods are really vicious."

After hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Yu Fengzhi became even more frightened: "Then - Feilan, I recently heard rumors from the General Staff Department that Dad wants to use Han Qing as a target, is that true?"

Jiang Cheng knew about this drama, and the reason was mentioned by Yu Fengzhi, so in order to calm the anger of the generals in the Northeast, the Marshal performed the drama of "letting the wise man kill the son". (End of this chapter)
