Since the Qing Dynasty, arrears of military pay was an inevitable bad habit for the Chinese team. Beiyang inherited the set of the Qing Dynasty, and arrears were common, especially Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division was based on the bandit armed forces of Zhao'an. He was not a direct lineman of Beiyang at all. There was no one in the court, so arrears of food and pay naturally became inevitable.

"Fourth brother, the Japanese people's money is not that easy to get, and they are careful not to get greedy. This time, Japan's loans are not without conditions. They ask us to protect the Japanese business interests in Fengtian. They also said that after Yuting takes a step forward, they need to strengthen cooperation. The Japanese people's meaning is very clear. We took their money today and will do things for them tomorrow! One day, the Japanese's requirements will exceed our bottom line. What should we do if we change it at that time!"

Sun Liechen knew Zhang Zuolin's difficulties, but he always held an exclusionary attitude towards borrowing from Japan. He always felt that Japanese wolfishness was ambition and could not interact.

"What's wrong with doing things for the Japanese? The emperor is not too hungry. President Yuan cannot let us eat and wear warmth. I, Tang Yulin, will do things for the Japanese. At least these Japanese people will do what they say and will never give us money!"

"Tang Yulin, what are you saying?" Zhang Zuoxiang, who had been silent all the time in the last seat, stood up suddenly and said sternly: "At that time, Japan and Dajizi fought in the three northeastern provinces, we all know how many bad things they did. If the Japanese asked you to kill our elders and brothers, you would be able to do it too!"

Zhang Zuoxiang has a relatively soft temper among the crowd, but the more honest he is, the more he can stick to the bottom line at the critical moment and will not easily compromise.

When Tang Yulin saw that Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang both came out to oppose him, his momentum was a little weaker, but he was still unwilling to give up and continued, "Zhang Zuoxiang, don't treat yourself too much as a character. How about President Yuan? Didn't he sign twenty-one articles not long ago? Although some terms were removed, he still bowed to the Japanese? The president is like this, what else do we have to recite!"

"It is with the lessons of the president that we cannot make mistakes. How many people have scolded Yuan Shikai during this period? I, Zhang Zuoxiang, don't want others to poke the backbone!"

The more the two sides spoke, the more angry they became. They were about to start fighting. Zhang Jinghui, who was standing beside him, hurriedly spoke: "Everyone is brother, and you have something to say. If you want me, please stop fighting. There are thousands of people in the family. Everyone should listen to Lao Qi and let him make an idea!"

Tang Yulin, Zhang Zuoxiang and others all barely suppressed their anger and looked at Zhang Zuolin on the main seat together. At the critical moment, they still had to look at the head of the family. Zhang Zuolin frowned and said nothing, but just smoked his cigarette puff. After a while, he sighed.

"Brothers, I know the ambitions of Japanese wolfs, but the twenty-seventh master is waiting for more than 10,000 mouths. I, Lao Zhang, cannot let my brothers suffer grievances. I borrowed this money!"

When Zhang Zuolin said this, it was like a final conclusion. Everyone was familiar with Zhang Zuolin's temper and knew what he decided, so he could not turn it around. Tang Yulin was very happy, as if he had won a big victory. Others stopped talking, only Zhang Zuolang still looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Everyone dispersed, and Zhang Zuolin grabbed Zhang Zuoling, "Old Eighth, I'm sure you said it clearly. In terms of words, I'm called "Skinning with a tiger! But even though I know that there is a trap ahead, I'll jump, or the Twenty-Seventh Division will be over. We can only use the Japanese and guard against them!"

Zhang Zuoxiang didn't say anything anymore. He knew that it was not easy to be a family member, so he had to leave Zhang Zuolin's mansion in a depressed manner. He didn't go to work and went home directly.

As soon as Zhang Zuoxiang walked to the door of his house, he saw Zhang Tinglan, the eldest son of the street corner, rushing back happily. The father and son just ran into each other.

Zhang Tinglan just returned from Daosheng Bank. Fred is a shrewd Jewish banker. Zhang Tinglan also spent a lot of effort to confront him. His hard work pays off. He finally convinced the old Jewish man initially and asked him to agree to support his plan. However, Fred also made a request, that is, he must meet Zhang Zuolin in person. Only when an agreement with Zhang Zuolin can he be at ease.

When Zhang Tinglan saw that she still looked down on her weight, she had no other choice but to come back and find an opportunity to explain the matter to her father as soon as possible.

The father and son collided in front of the door. When Zhang Tinglan saw that his father's face was gloomy, he seemed a little unhappy. He couldn't guess Zhang Zuoxiang's thoughts, so he could only follow Zhang Zuoxiang to the courtyard honestly.

Zhang Zuoxiang sat on the Eight Immortals table under the grape trellis, picked up his cigarette puff, started smoking a dull smoke, without saying a word.

Zhang Tinglan was also curious about what happened. If you know that his identity is Zhang Zuoxiang's son, he was labeled as the Fengtian clan. He and the Fengtian army share honor and disgrace. If there are any difficulties, he can still think of a solution!

"Dad, what's wrong with you so much!"

"Hey, what do you know about the matter of sir? Your seventh uncle wants to borrow money from the Japanese."

Zhang Zuoxiang said casually, and he didn't expect his son to understand these things. However, Zhang Tinglan was shocked and said loudly: "Absolutely not possible!"

Zhang Tinglan still has some understanding of the Fengtian faction. The Fengtian faction can be said to be successful and defeated. Without Japan's support, Zhang Zuolin could not have become the King of Northeast China so smoothly. However, when the Fengtian faction exceeded control, the Japanese killed Zhang Zuolin and launched the September 18th Incident. The Fengtian warlords completely became history, and the three eastern provinces fell for fourteen years.

Therefore, when he heard Zhang Zuoxiang say that Zhang Zuolin was preparing to lend to the Japanese, Zhang Tinglan felt keenly that he seemed to be at a critical historical node. Whether the fate of the Fengtian clan could change was just one thought!

"Dad, the Japanese have ulterior motives. If they borrow their money, they will never pay it back in their lifetime. Moreover, the loan is just a stepping stone. They will probably gain a lot of effort and gradually control the 27th Division in their hands. The consequences will be unimaginable at that time!"

Zhang Zuoxiang thought that Zhang Tinglan was just a simple emotional outburst, because of the 21st article, the Japanese image in China was greatly hit, and many passionate students had anti-Japanese emotions. However, when he heard Zhang Tinglan's next words, he immediately felt that his son could see more clearly than he did, so Zhang Zuoxiang also wanted to listen to his son's opinions very rarely.

"Tinglan, what do you think is the purpose of Japan's loans?"

"It's just to win over and control it. Loans are just a bait. The price they offered at first will not be very high. It makes us feel profitable. After eating the first bait, there will be a second and third ones. The Japanese's hands will continue to extend to all aspects. When they feel that we have lost their effect, they will kick away without hesitation."

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded. He opposed the loan and was only worried that Japan would make unreasonable requests and it was difficult to refuse. Now that he heard Zhang Tinglan say that, he realized that this was not a loan, it was clearly a poison. As long as he took it, he fell into Japan's trap. Life and death are not something you can control.

"Tinglan, you have this experience, Dad is so happy!"

"Dad, you should advise Mr. Qi to be very cautious about Japanese loans. I think it's better to refuse it directly!"

Zhang Zuoxiang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly, "This is not easy. Yuting is short of money now!"

"How many are missing? I have a way!"
