The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Zhang Hanqing was confused.

To be honest, he considered that Yang Yuting would not support this matter, and might even cause trouble -

But he really never thought that this kid would first put on an "elder" attitude, and then in front of his father's portrait, say to him words like "going against the will" and "I'm sorry brothers in the Fengtian Army".

Damn, with so many sins listed, can I bear them all by myself?

Zhang Hanqing became angrier the more he thought about it.

But just as he was about to cast his unhappy expression at the bastard, Zhang Zuoxiang actually stepped forward and played the peace ball: "Alright, alright, what are you talking about? General Yang just came back from the capital, I'm afraid he hasn't even had a hot meal yet, and we're in a hurry to discuss these military and national affairs, it's too unreasonable!"

After saying this, he immediately winked at Yang Yuting's adjutant, telling him to go back first, have a good meal, and then discuss these important matters.

However, as soon as he sent this person back, Zhang Hanqing became angry: "Look at this bastard, isn't he so arrogant just because he relies on his father's support and his power in the army?"

Zhang Zuoxiang said nothing, but Feng Delin, who was standing beside him, also got angry: "Damn it, my good brother just passed away, and Yang's fox tail is so eager to show up, right?"

"Or what about taking Han Qing to reorganize the Northeast? All of us brothers have issued telegrams to express our support and assistance—"

"Who the hell is this bastard to fart like that?"

Seeing his father was so angry that he was fuming, Feng Yong quickly advised: "Dad, Yang Yuting is a nobody, you don't have to be so angry... I think if Yang Yuting doesn't support it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to accomplish this."

Jiang Cheng remained silent during this period.

He understood that if Northeast China accepted the appointment from Nanjing, then his future, Yang Yuting, would probably have to be handed over to Zhang Hanqing.

These military officers who support the change of flag, including the Jiang family and the Feng and Zhang families, will become "heroes", thus further dividing what he already controls.

And if the Northeast can maintain the status quo, with his current status and power, he can definitely sideline Xiao Zhang and make him a puppet!
"I know what Yang Yuting wants to do——"

Looking around at the indignant people, Jiang Cheng calmed down: "He even brought up the title of the Marshal, just because he thinks that he is superior to the new master as a minister."

Zhang Hanqing sneered: "Yeah, you're just short of calling me 'nephew', right? To the Third Uncle and the Old Uncle, and even to your father, I'm happy to be a nephew——"

"Just like what my uncle said: Yang Yuting, who the hell is that?"

Zhang Tingshu was also angry, saying repeatedly that this Yang guy looked down on everyone and had already bypassed Jiang Cheng and wanted to give orders to the navy... saying something about closing down such and such ports.

Zhang Zuoxiang glanced at his second son in embarrassment and said, "Son, please stop fanning the flames. It's too late to seek stability in this situation—"

"What a fight! It's exactly what the Japanese want!"

Jiang Cheng was waiting for him to say this: "Dad, if there really is something fishy, ​​it was caused by Yang Yuting... In public and private, we should still consider seniority, status and seating order. Third Master goes first, Han Qing goes first, I, Jiang Feilan, accept it——"

"Let me obey Yang Yuting, bah! I will fight him to the end."

In order to suppress the second son's words, the young men did not mention the matter of fighting.

But unexpectedly, the person who wanted to fan the flames the most this time was the son-in-law who always knew the big picture.

But what he didn't know was that at this time, although Zhang Hanqing had no intention of killing Yang Yuting, Jiang Cheng had already planned to kill him.

That bastard was trying to divide the Marshal and himself, and then force himself to be the second "Guo Guizi", to stir things up so that he could fish in troubled waters -

However, this action directly killed his good brother Hai Pingchuan, and almost made him lose Jinan to the Japanese... In addition, so many people were killed, how could Jiang Cheng let him off easily?

"This matter needs to be done as soon as possible."

When everyone fell silent, the young man who had just assumed the title of King of Guanwai suddenly spoke quietly. …………

After a night of strong winds, the whole Fengtian sky was clear;

The sun was shining but the temperature dropped suddenly, making the pedestrians on the road move in a somewhat awkward manner.

The garrisons in Xiyingchang, Beidaying, Dapingzhuang and other places were on alert, ready for battle.

Jiang Cheng sent a secret telegram to Siping, Zhengjiatun and Ji'an, asking them to quickly enter a state of preparation for war.

Wu Taixun, acting governor of Heilongjiang Province, also ordered all border areas and Qiqihar to prepare for war.

At this time, Zhang Hanqing and several major deployments in Fengtian met with non-commissioned officers including Yang Yuting.

The topic was undoubtedly the future direction of the Fengtian Army. Unexpectedly, Chief of Staff Yang, who had previously sung a different tune, actually showed unusual cooperation and repeatedly expressed his willingness to support the Young Marshal's decision.

However, Yang Yuting said that Wu Taixun could serve as the governor of Heilongjiang Province, but because Heilongjiang Province is located in a remote area and has many important passes, he might end up losing sight of both.

That is to recommend Chang Yinhuai as the military commander of Heilongjiang Province to assist Wu Taixun.

Jiang Cheng knew that his intention was to place people in Heilongjiang Province, and then advance step by step from Heilongjiang and Fengtian provinces to put pressure on Jilin, so as to gradually tighten the power outside the Great Wall.

"Since Chief of Staff Yang is so clear-headed, I have nothing to say."

Jiang Cheng was the first to express his support, and then, with the approval of Zhang Hanqing, at the end of December of the same year, all the military commanders outside the Great Wall issued a national telegram, changing their flags and obeying Nanjing.

At the beginning of the following year, the appointment letter came from the south.

Of course, Zhang Hanqing, as the highest commander, was appointed as a senior official and had the power to exercise the standing army.

All places outside the Great Wall hung the banner of the Blue Sky and White Sun.

…………

The celebratory banquet seemed a little lonely.

It was obviously related to the recent death of the Marshal, but except for Zhang Zuoxiang, everyone actually had ulterior motives.

The speeches during the banquet were also a bit thin and pale. Zhang Hanqing excused himself from feeling unwell early and was the first to leave for rest.

Jiang Cheng was also tired of this kind of occasion. He whispered something in his father-in-law's ear, then stood up and left the table and went to the front hall.

Next... there are still many important things to do.

but,
"Feilan, why do you come here to hide away at this time?"

Just as I sat down on the sofa and was about to take out a cigarette, my thoughts were interrupted by Yang Yuting's voice.

I don't know when this guy chased me out from the banquet hall, and he was looking at me with a fake smile.

"Oh, I'm afraid I caught a cold and am not feeling well - have a cigarette to clear my head."

Jiang Cheng replied indifferently, but Yang Yuting pretended to be profound: "Yes, young man, it's better to wake up your brain more--"

"Lest you lose sight of the road ahead." (End of this chapter)
