"Fu Chen, since Zhu Yan sent troops to Russia, Japanese people have been looking for me one after another. It's not just me, Zhang Haipeng, Ji Jinchun, Tang Yulin, etc. In short, these old people have connections. What did the Japanese say to us at first?
China and Japan are friendly, and they want to ease their relationship with Fengjun. I thought this was a good thing, so I didn't refuse."
"This time the commander-in-chief entered the customs, was it the Japanese who ordered you to do it?"
"It was Wu Junsheng who initially proposed entering the customs. Among us, he was the only one who became the governor of Heilongjiang, but he was not satisfied yet. Because of the problem of the Eastern Route, most of the military power in Heilongjiang was in the hands of the border guards. He was just a decoration.
Therefore, Wu Junsheng proposed to develop into the pass, acquire more territory and expand our power, so that we can all become the feudal officials of the same province."
Tofu Zhang didn't have any other merits, but he was honest enough. When he heard that Zhang Zuolin was dead, he felt that the sky was falling. Therefore, he answered whatever Zhang Zuoxiang asked and tried to save his head.
"I remembered that Zhang Haipeng seemed to have contacted the Japanese. He said that the Japanese were dissatisfied with Beiyang, especially the Shandong issue. Therefore, as long as Fengjun is willing to implement the 21st and hand over the rights of Northeast China to the Japanese, they
I was willing to support Fengjun's entry into the customs. I thought it would be a good thing to lose some profits in exchange for the whole country. In the end, it was our selfishness that caused the trouble. When I thought of Yuting's death because of this, my heart felt like a knife.
"As he spoke, Tofu Zhang burst into tears again.
Zhang Tinglan was also listening, and a lot of things suddenly became clear in his heart, "Dad, entering the customs is definitely a signal intentionally released by the Japanese, and Zhang Haipeng has the closest relationship with the Japanese. This time the commander was assassinated, and it was he who
The people under my command have done a good job. I think the breakthrough point should be placed on him."
"Yes." Zhang Zuoxiang nodded: "Jing Hui, I'm going to give you a hard time and stay in the house first. When we figure everything out and you are really fine, we will let you out."
"Fuchen, you have to believe me!" Zhang Jinghui knelt down in front of Zhang Zuoxiang, hugged his legs, and cried loudly: "I was just obsessed for a moment, and I definitely didn't have any bad intentions. You must be careful
Be discerning."
"Get up, we are all old brothers. If there is no problem, I will naturally not pursue it, but Yuting's death cannot be in vain. You can take care of yourself!"
Zhang Zuoxiang waved his hand and drove Zhang Jinghui out. Then he interrogated Zhang Haipeng. He was shot in the shoulder by Huang Xiansheng, and he looked depressed at this time, even a little hopeless.
"Zhang Haipeng, tell the truth about how you and the Japanese got together. We are all born with beards. We have a sense of loyalty. I promise not to bring any harm to your family."
Zhang Haipeng sighed and said with a sneer: "Zhang Fuchen, I thought I would be prosperous and wealthy after entering the customs. I didn't expect that we would actually use our own heads to remove stumbling blocks for you. Now that Zhang Yuting is finished, you father and son are justified.
When you take over Fengjun, shouldn't you thank me as a hero?"
"Fart!" Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly raised his foot and kicked the wound on Zhang Haipeng's shoulder. Zhang Haipeng immediately grinned in pain.
"You are shameless, colluded with the Japanese, and betrayed the commander-in-chief. Are you worthy of being a human being?"
"I didn't want to betray Yuting!" Zhang Haipeng argued loudly: "Although I have had contact with the Japanese, I don't know how someone infiltrated my subordinates. And planting explosives requires detailed train times and even certain people.
The location of a carriage, and I’m not with the commander, how could I know this?”
What Zhang Haipeng said is not unreasonable. He entered the customs in advance and he did not know Zhang Zuolin's detailed itinerary. Therefore, only by focusing the investigation on the people around Zhang Zuolin can the matter be smoothed out.
"Dad, there were three people who entered the customs with the commander. Wu Junsheng is dead, and there are still Tang Yulin and Xi Qia. These two guys happened to be alive. There is also Yu Chonghan who is in charge of liaison. He must also
Knowing the situation, the focus of the next breakthrough will be on them!"
"I'd like to say that Xi Qia and Yu Chonghan were both trained by the Japanese. Yu Ting really shouldn't reveal the secrets of the operation to them. You should arrest them now, and then torture them to death. They must be pried open
their mouths."
Zhang Tinglan nodded in agreement. He immediately sent a telegram to Ji Jinchun in Shanhaiguan. At this time, Ji Jinchun also led his troops back to Shanhaiguan. After receiving the telegram, he knew that the matter was serious, so he acted immediately and led his trusted men to rush to Shanhaiguan.
Xiqia's temporary residence.
At this time, Yu Chonghan was also present in Xi Qia's residence. The two of them were like ants on a hot pot, walking back and forth.
"Lao Yu, Zhang Zuolin's life or death is uncertain now. We must escape immediately and let the Japanese protect us, so as to save our lives."
Yu Chonghan was also very anxious and said loudly: "Weren't you riding on the train with Zhang Zuolin? Why don't you know his life or death?"
Xiqia also had a troubled look on his face, and whispered: "Didn't I sit in the last carriage? After the carriage was bombed, I ran away. I thought that the Japanese sent out hundreds of soldiers to kill Zhang Zuolin.
It can be solved easily. We can protect the Japanese, but who would have thought that these losers were solved by Feng Jun. Now the situation is simply terrible, and we have no place to go."
Yu Chonghan walked around for a few times and then said: "We can't wait any longer, we have to go. This time Zhang Zuolin doesn't care about life or death. That kid Zhang Tinglan will definitely gain power. He has long disliked us and will definitely add insult to injury and try to kill us."
we."
Xiqia also nodded: "Yes, let's leave now!"
While talking, the two guys put on businessmen's clothes, grabbed their briefcases, and were about to run away together. At this moment, there was a rapid banging on the door.
"It's broken!" Xi Qia's expression changed: "Let's go, run away through the back door!"
Xi Qia and Yu Chonghan hurriedly ran to the back, climbed up the wall, and jumped down. However, when they landed, they suddenly felt something bad. The ground they stepped on was not the ground. After a closer look, they realized that
When they discovered that it turned out to be a large fishing net, the two men's heads suddenly buzzed.
"Everyone close the net, we caught two big fish!" A young voice came out, and it was Ji Yonghua who spoke. He was very close to Zhang Tinglan. Later, I heard that after Zhang Tinglan defeated the Russians, he simply became
His idol has long been clamoring to study in the martial arts hall.
However, he was still too young, so he was stopped by Ji Jinchun. Now that he has been here for two or three years, the little guy has also grown in size. With his years of martial arts practice, his body is particularly strong. He looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old.
There is no difference between them, they have always been by Ji Jinchun's side.
After catching Xi Qia and Yu Chonghan in a fishing net, he said with a smile: "You two idiots don't even know the truth about what is true and what is false. You still want to imitate others and become traitors. How shameful!"
Yu Chonghan and Xi Qia were ashamed and ashamed to be humiliated by a half-year-old child. At this time, Ji Jinchun also rushed over. When he saw that these two guys were caught, he finally felt relieved. Yes.
With these two guys, he can atone for his crimes. Ji Jinchun also knows that Zhang Zuolin was assassinated. This is definitely not a trivial matter, and he might also be involved in it.
He immediately took his son and two guys under guard and hurried back to Fengtian overnight. At this time, Guo Songling, who was at the front, also retreated into the pass. Originally, Guo Songling wanted to rush into Beijing and made the first decision to enter the pass.
He succeeded once, but failed, and he was also very angry.
While passing through Tianjin, a Japanese suddenly found him.
"Guo Sang, I am Ono Dawen, the section chief of the Intelligence Section of the North China Garrison. I want to tell the general a secret."
"What happened?"
"Zhang Zuolin is dead!"
"What?" Guo Songling's eyes suddenly widened: "What are you talking nonsense about? I just received the order from the commander-in-chief to withdraw his troops into the pass. How could he be dead!"
"Guo Sang, we are 70% sure that Zhang Zuolin is dead."
"Guo will definitely not agree to whoever killed the commander!"
"Guo Sang, this is not the point. After Zhang's death, Fengjun had the problem of a successor. Who do you think should succeed the patrol?"
"Of course..." Guo Songling wanted to talk about Zhang Xueliang, but when he thought about it, he shook his head and sighed. Zhang Xueliang is too young, his qualifications are too shallow, and his strength is too small. No matter how he measures it, he cannot compare with Zhang Tinglan.
, the two sides are not in the same order of magnitude at all, not to mention there is Zhang Zuoxiang, and now the three eastern provinces are already in the hands of the father and son.
Guo Songling had the closest relationship with Zhang Xueliang, but there was nothing he could do to save the day. Moreover, he was still doubtful about the news of Zhang Zuolin's death, so he sneered and said: "Mr. Ono, you have too much control. We have our own opinions on what Fengjun should do.
Don’t worry about it.”
Ono's face also showed a sinister smile: "Guo Sang, you don't have to be hostile to us. The imperial government is very willing to be friends with you. We can make great efforts to support you and Marshal Zhang to let you control Fengjun.
If necessary, you can contact us at any time. What the imperial government appreciates most is soldiers like you!"
After Ono Duowen finished speaking, he reincarnated and left. Guo Songling was full of doubts and could only retreat with his army as soon as possible. He was majestic when he came, but now he was defeated like a mountain, which was not a pleasant feeling. Moreover, Xu Shuzheng led Beiyang.
The army was pursuing closely from behind. Guo Songling was in great embarrassment along the way. He finally ran back to the outside of the pass, and half of his men had disappeared.
He couldn't care less about this and hurried back to Fengtian. After he arrived in Fengtian, almost everyone else arrived. Zhang Zuoxiang summoned everyone to the Tiger Hall of the Marshal's Mansion.
"I want to tell you some news. Yuting has passed away. I have called everyone here to discuss where Fengjun should go next." (To be continued...)
