Fengxian Jiangshan

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan issued an order that anyone who took advantage of the chaos to plunder the people and commit crimes would be shot on the spot. Dozens of corpses fell on the street, and the extraordinarily dazzling red calmed down everyone. Just before the Fengjun troops entered the city, Japanese Minister Yoshizawa Kenkichi, British Minister Eston, and French Minister Qi Leye got together.

"Zhang Tinglan has lost control of Beijing, we should act immediately to protect the safety of overseas Chinese!"

Yoshizawa Kenkichi said loudly, everyone knows that protecting overseas Chinese is just an excuse.The real purpose is to use force to overthrow the government.

Eston was still a little hesitant. After all, Britain had just suffered a big loss. The three [-]-ton large ships were all killed by the Fengjun. The British Empire lost all its reputation and face. The British hated Zhang Tinglan to the core. .But the British have not completely lost their minds. Faced with such a powerful opponent, any rash action will bring unbearable consequences.

"Mr. Fangze, I think we should wait until the rebels reach Beijing. It may be more appropriate for us to fight at that time."

Yoshizawa Kenkichi smiled slightly: "Alright, but Mr. Eston, I think there are some promises, and it's best to keep them."

"What promise?"

"Of course it's the military expenses of the rebels. Don't you forget, this time the empire is completely considering the friendship with the United Kingdom. It is doing its best. I will help you and promise them a total of 1500 million yuan and a large amount of arms. Don’t let us bear all the expenses!”

Of course, Eston would not be fooled by Yoshizawa Kenkichi, Japan is not profitable, if they hadn't had a feud with Zhang Tinglan.How can you be so positive!

"Mr. Fangze, of course we won't let the Japanese side pay alone, I think the three companies will bear it together!"

French Minister Qi Leye's eyes widened at once: "This has nothing to do with France, you should pay the money. Don't involve us."

Eston had a sincere smile on his face: "If Zhang Tinglan's regime falls, it will be a good thing for all countries. There is a big piece of cake waiting for us to share. Now we have a little more, and we have a little less. There is nothing at all." relation."

In the eyes of these guys, maybe Feng Jun has become meat on the cutting board, just waiting for them to say something.But at this moment, the attendant ran over in a panic.

"Mr. Minister, something is wrong. The squadron surrounded the embassy area and added machine guns and cannons."

"What?" The three guys stood up immediately: "How is it possible, wouldn't it take two or three days at the earliest for Fengjun to drive to Beijing? Could it be that they fell from the sky?"

"I don't know, but there are indeed a large number of troops outside."

Upon hearing the news, the three of them glanced at each other, and they all read the deep fear in each other's eyes, and they miscalculated again.

"Quick, hurry up and get those idiots back!"

The arrival of the army means that the overall situation has been settled. With the strength of the embassy, ​​it might be useful in the Beiyang era, but when it meets the Feng army, it will basically be sent to death.It is no longer possible to cause trouble in Beijing. If those intelligence personnel are not allowed to retreat quickly, it will be dangerous.

But it was too late now, and most of these guys had already fallen into Feng Jun's control.After getting the following report, Yoshizawa Kenkichi and Eston were all dumbfounded, and now they are in big trouble.

All the forces in China have been lost, and all the years of painstaking efforts have been wiped out. How will they obtain information from the Chinese government, how will they infiltrate, and how will they sabotage.In the previous few battles with Fengjun, the forces in his hands suffered a lot of losses, and now they have been uprooted.

They regretted it too late, their guts were full of regrets, but there was no good way. When they met Zhang Tinglan, all their previous methods were useless.

"Mr. Fangze, since Zhang Tinglan is ready, Wang Chengbin and the others will definitely not succeed. Do you want to inform them immediately!"

"No need, since it's a waste, there's no need for it!"

Yoshizawa Kenkichi couldn't care about anything at this time, and he regretted it now more than ever.In fact, three days ago, China proposed to export the ore of Musan Iron Mine to Japan.

This is very attractive to the island country, and Japan also wants to stop there and temporarily use China's resources to regain its strength.However, there is another faction in the Japanese government. They think that taking the opportunity to bring down the Fengjun will be theirs, so they make a decisive gamble. As a result, they completely lost all their chips, and may not be able to get the original benefits.

The Japanese are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they care about those lackeys!In fact, this is also the awareness that everyone who chooses to be a dog should have. If someone is left unsuitable, the end is always sad.

Of course, Wang Chengbin couldn't feel it at this time. He had just successfully seized Baoding. In fact, Rong Zhen and the others had completed the task to be precise.According to Zhang Tinglan's plan, they were to hold back for half a day, then retreat steadily, and when necessary, blow up railways and bridges, so that the rebels could not quickly invade Beijing.

However, with Fu Zuoyi's reinforcements, Rong Zhen and the others persisted for about a day. During this period of time, the situation in Beijing has been reversed, the army has continuously moved in, and the defense line of Lugou Bridge has been built.

With full preparations, there was no need to fortify the walls and clear the fields, Rong Zhen and the others quickly retreated to Lugou Bridge.And Wang Chengbin, Peng Shouxin and others successfully occupied Baoding, they were overjoyed.

"Everyone, there is nothing special about Fengjun. Let's work harder and rush to Beijing. Minister Fangze has promised us that as long as we arrive in the capital, a lot of money and a large amount of weapons will be sent over. With the powers There is no need to be afraid of Zhang Tinglan's support!"

After finishing speaking, several people laughed, and they immediately marched northward.

However, this was destined to be a road of no return. When the Zhijun rebelled and the capital was in danger, the Fengjun in the three eastern provinces also mobilized quickly, and Yang Yuting also hurriedly sent reinforcements.

Sun Anhu personally led the Fifth Division and the Tank Division, traveling day and night, and entered the customs at the fastest speed. It was originally estimated that they would need more than three days to enter the customs. In fact, it only took two and a half days. The front of the Tank Division It has already arrived in Fengtian, and there are two aviation brigades coming at the same time.

In addition, Shen Honglie also urgently mobilized more than [-] warships to station in Tianjin Port. Most of these warships are small torpedo boats, but this is also a complete deterrent, and the navies of the big powers have to weigh it.

With the support of these technical arms, Zhang Tinglan was able to better control the overall situation, not to mention countering the rebellion. The main force of the rebel army was all wiped out at Lugou Bridge.

A dozen senior generals including Wang Chengbin and Peng Shouxin were all captured, and the Feng army won a complete victory.The great powers also lost all bargaining chips to interfere in China. Britain and Japan could only sit down and negotiate with China, and finally the overall situation was completely under control.

Zhang Tinglan also breathed a sigh of relief. While all parties were actively dealing with the aftermath, Wang Yongjiang, Fengjun's general accountant, entered Beijing very low-key. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Zhang Tinglan invited him to the official residence.

"Mr. Min Yuan, there is an important matter, please help me as a staff officer!"

Wang Yongjiang also smiled slightly: "I also have something to ask for Zhuoyan. The three eastern provinces are different from the whole country. Do you have the courage to make drastic reforms?"

"That's natural. I just want to have a good discussion with my husband this time, how to use the opportunity of this big reshuffle to dilute the local color, change the Fengjun into the National Defense Force, and change the local forces into the national power."

Chapter 736 Exchange

"Zhuoyan, if you want to fight for the world, you must have the world in mind. Even if you can't level a bowl of water, you can't just focus on the three eastern provinces. Whether it is the army or the economy, you must have a national vision, otherwise you will only know how to use your own resources. Human beings will cause dissension and morality, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Beiyang, they have made fatal mistakes on this point, they cannot unify the world, and the enemies will become more and more, emerging in endlessly."

Speaking of this, Wang Yongjiang smiled again: "Zhuoyan, it's really good that you realized this early. To be honest, I'm really afraid that after you defeat Russia and Japan in a row, you will become the king of Chu. "

I am afraid that only Wang Yongjiang dared to talk to Zhang Tinglan in this world. Xiang Yu was able to pull up mountains, and won 72 battles without victory. He swept the world, embraced beauties, and conquered the world. I lost the battle, and there are too many things I have to think about.

For Zhang Tinglan, the most worthwhile reference is that Xiang Yu can only be an overlord, not a king, and this is the reason for his failure.Feng Jun is also in this position now. If the transformation cannot be completed, no matter how powerful the army is, it will eventually be exhausted.

Just like a man with a blank space before and after, he can defeat the warlords every time, but the old warlords are not killed, and a large number of new warlords have emerged.The entire history of the Democratic Party is a history of continuous vicious divisions, and finally consumed all of its limited strength.

"Mr. Minyuan's lesson is that I am going to carry out a big change in both the army and the government, especially some senior officials from the three eastern provinces. Expanded to 32 divisions, in addition to the original troops of Fengjun. Ten more divisions were recruited from the pass to form a constraint."

Wang Yongjiang nodded with a smile: "I don't know much about the military, but I think there must be a mentality that is open to all rivers. Although there are a lot of troubles in the immediate army, there are not many problems with middle and lower-level officers. You might as well ask Baili to come over." , draw up a plan for the whole army."

When Zhang Tinglan heard it, he nodded frequently. Jiang Baili used to be the principal of Baoding Military Academy.The prestige is very high, and among the direct lineage, Baoding Military Academy is the backbone. If they can be gathered together, they can balance the dominance of the Fengline family.Definitely very good advice.

"I'll send a telegram to the chief of staff immediately, asking him to go to Beijing immediately. But Mr. Minyuan, do you have any opinions on the development in the pass? I'll wait for you to come up with a strategy for me!"

Wang Yongjiang smiled slightly: "Zhuoyan, I have really thought about this for a long time. From the current point of view, the areas we can control are basically the three provinces in North China, namely Zhiluyu, plus the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The rest of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are all Some are too far away. According to my idea, we might as well temporarily put aside these border areas and concentrate our efforts to allow the Central Plains and Jiangnan to develop stably. At that time, our industrial strength will be at least doubled. It won’t be too long, three to five years Almost, when the world is unified, it will be unstoppable!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tinglan also nodded frequently. At present, no matter whether it is financial resources or military strength, he is not ready, not to mention that he is fighting against the big powers. If all the troops are sent to the southwest, it will only empty the Central Plains. Moreover, Zhang Tinglan has long thought To rest and recuperate, the result is that the fighting has continued, and it has been dragged on until now. The troops are exhausted to the extreme, and they should really recover.

After discussing with Wang Yongjiang, Zhang Tinglan's thinking has become very clear. The three provinces of Zhilu and Henan are the headquarters of Beiyang. They developed very early and have a considerable industrial and educational foundation. Among them is the Gongxian Arsenal and the famous Beiyang University. , these are the bases that can be used.Moreover, the north is relatively rich in iron resources. According to the plan, heavy industry will be developed here, and three steel factories will be built. At the same time, coal resources in Shanxi will be vigorously exploited to build a thermal power plant for use in North China.

The Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas have long been the most economically dynamic areas in China, and the conditions for development are also very good. However, there is also a problem, that is, the Yangtze River Delta is too close to the sea, and the Chinese navy is not strong enough to protect it.In addition, there is a powerful comprador group here, which is a major obstacle to the development of industry.

According to Wang Yongjiang's idea, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will mainly develop light industries with quick results, and gradually attack comprador groups. After the national strength is improved, investment in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be increased.

The last investment focus is the middle reaches of the Yangtze River with Wuhan as the center. When Zhang Zhidong was the governor of Huguang, he invested in the Hanyang Iron Works and the layout of Hubei Weaving, which supported the structure of light and heavy industries. For a long time , the three towns of Wuhan are the areas with the most complete industrial categories and the highest level of development in China.

Zhang Tinglan is also planning to use this foundation to invest heavily in Wuhan. Of course, Wuhan has another advantage, that is, it is located in the central region, and there is basically no need to consider safety. defense industry.

"Mr. Minyuan, it stands to reason that you deserve the prime minister's deserving title, but the water dragon of the Yangtze River is very important. I don't feel relieved to hand it over to others. I can only let you do it yourself, so I can only feel wronged. job."

Wang Yongjiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Letting Tang Shaochuan be the prime minister is actually better than me. At least it can reassure the people in the southern province. In addition, I want to do something practical. As for the name, it doesn't matter. But there is one thing I want Remind Zhuoyan that the task of North China is not lighter than that of Jiangnan. The three provinces of Zhilu and Henan are all populous provinces, with many people and little land, and the contradictions are sharp. When the Republic of China was just established, there was a white wolf rebellion. Governance is not that easy, not to mention there is a Yellow River that often floods, it is a big trouble!"
