The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"Feilan, you're finally back!"

Shou Yi just said a word, tears suddenly burst out of her eyes, "Grandpa, our grandpa was still thinking of you when he was dying!"

"I want you, I want you and Xiao Liuzi to be of one mind from now on. We can't let our black land be--"

Before she could finish her words, this strong lady suddenly shook. If Jiang Cheng and Yu Fengzhi hadn't quickly supported her, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Fifth Madam, please take care of yourself! I am back now... Don't worry, I, Jiang Feilan, will definitely avenge this grudge."

Jiang Cheng quickly winked at the servant beside him, "Go back and have a good rest first - leave the matter to me."

After watching the servants escort Madam Wu back to her room, Jiang Cheng slowly turned around and looked at Yu Fengzhi, who was wiping her eyes with a handkerchief. "Where's Han Qing?"

The day when the Huanggutun incident happened happened to be Zhang Hanqing's birthday, and people of all ages in the capital, including some of his close followers, were celebrating his birthday.

Of course, because of this incident, Zhang Hanqing changed his date of birth... But on the other hand, this incident caught the entire Northeast off guard.

"Han Qing is in Beidaying—he,"

Yu Fengzhi was not very knowledgeable about military affairs and could not use very professional terms. She just gave a general description of Zhang Hanqing's efforts to stabilize the military morale and do a good job in the transition.

Jiang Cheng nodded silently, thinking that this guy was quite reliable this time. It was obvious that what happened to him was a big blow to him.

"Where is Mr. Shuai...is he settled?"

Under the guidance of Yu Fengzhi, Jiang Cheng walked towards the study of the Marshal's Mansion. At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang and his two sons were waiting for him.

"Feilan, you're finally back!"

Zhang Zuoxiang's eyes were also red, "You know the truth - from now on, we have to obey Xiao Liuzi."

Jiang Cheng knew this was the result, and he didn't want to overturn it.

Even though Old Zhang is no longer around, the influence of the Zhang family is still there... If Jiang Feilan had any thoughts at this time, he would most likely be the target of public criticism, and his territory would not even be stable.

Besides, if a fight really breaks out, it goes without saying who will be the happiest.

"Yes, Dad, you are right. We must support Han Qing and stabilize the Northeast."

Jiang Cheng immediately nodded in agreement.

After sitting down, Zhang Tinglan told Jiang Cheng about the situation. The Marshal was sent back and died after saying a few words.
The Fifth Lady ordered that the death be kept secret, and everything in the Marshal's Mansion continued as usual. They told the outside world that the Marshal had suffered some injuries in the explosion... All affairs outside the Great Wall would be temporarily under the charge of the Young Marshal.

"As for Yang Yuting, we haven't recruited him back to Fengtian yet... I've discussed this with my father, and we need to be careful with this guy."

After Zhang Tinglan added, he continued, "Tingshu arranged all his people near the ocean to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of this opportunity to sneak in."

Jiang Cheng still had confidence in his fleet. When he beat the Japanese before, their navy pretended not to see anything, obviously because they had seen how weak their strength was.

"Dad, what are your plans? On my way back, I had already issued an order for the garrisons in Zhengjiatun and Xinmin to be ready."

Jiang Cheng looked at the worried father and son and continued, "In addition, Feng Yong in the West Camp has also been issued ammunition at this moment."

Zhang Zuoxiang took a deep breath and praised: "Well prepared - but when I think about it carefully, the Japanese are in the city, so there must be an insider."

"Until Han Qing takes over the position smoothly, the army should not make any moves. Our people still have to be on guard against the Japanese."

Jiang Cheng added, "And Yang Yuting." As he spoke, he discussed with Zhang Zuoxiang the previous railway digging and the impact on his reinforcement of Jinan Prefecture.

Jiang Cheng suspected that the person who was responsible for "sowing discord" this time was most likely surnamed Yang.

"If there is an insider, he is most likely the one. In addition, this person is trying to sow discord between us. It is obvious that he wants me to hate the Marshal and his son, so that I will rebel against him——"

"No matter if I win or the Zhang family wins, Yang Yuting will gain the upper hand in the end."

Zhang Zuoxiang gnashed his teeth and said, "If this is true, this grandson must not be allowed to live."

Zhang Tingshu was eager to express his opinion: "There is no evidence! This guy is known as the Little Zhuge, and he always does things without any mistakes--"

"Having forced Maochen to rebel, Hanqing tried several times to avenge his teacher, but he couldn't find any evidence..."

Jiang Cheng sneered: "If I really want to punish him, what handle do I need? This person wants to sow discord between me and the Marshal, which is a capital crime. In addition, because of his delay, I was delayed for two days in rushing to Pingchuan to help."

"I am still thinking of avenging my good brother's blood feud!"

Zhang Zuoxiang quickly advised him that this was not the time to cause trouble and that everything should be done peacefully - nothing should go wrong.

As Jiang Cheng returned to Fengtian, all parties immediately chose to support the young marshal after confirming the support of this man, the largest force outside the Great Wall.

Three days later, as power was transferred to Marshal Zhang Hanqing, the news of his father's death was announced through telegram.

On the day he died, he was put into a coffin and secretly buried in his hometown.

Feng Delin and others who rushed over after hearing the news cried their hearts out. Apart from being sad and grieving about why their brother passed away first, they also cursed the murderer, saying that he must have avenged Master Shuai.

In the past few days, Jiang Cheng ordered through Zhang Hanqing to search for Japanese spies in the city. Soon, several Japanese soldiers who were active near the Marshal's Mansion and tried to find some clues were captured.

After some interrogation, two Japanese soldiers could not help but confess the mastermind behind the Huanggutun attack and the plan of the operation.

In fact, everyone knows that the person who can do such a thing must be the devil——

Zhang Hanqing naturally wanted to take revenge, but he knew that if he started a war at this time, the Japanese would inevitably launch a massive attack.

"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. I, Jiang Feilan, will never forget the revenge of Master Shuai."

After returning from the inauguration ceremony, Jiang Cheng patted Zhang Hanqing on the shoulder and whispered, "It's best for us to keep our troops in place. In addition, we need to make our attitude clear to the people inside the pass."

Zhang Hanqing was stunned: "Attitude? You, are you talking about changing your family?"

Jiang Cheng nodded: "Before, didn't you repeatedly tell me about the Three Principles of the People? You are right. If we have some principles in our hands, we can unify China."

"It's time for us to make a decision."

Zhang Hanqing licked his lips and said, "My father's body is still warm. I don't want to overturn his wishes so quickly."

"But you are right. This is the only way we can fight against the devils."

Jiang Cheng shook his head and laughed secretly.

If you want to rely on Nanjing to resist the Japanese, then just wait to get on the pirate ship.

I asked you to change your allegiance, but it was just a pretext. (End of this chapter)
