A biography can be written about the legend of Dashuai Zhang.
Zhang Yuting came from a poor family since he was a child and grew up in the wilderness. Such people are best at taking advantage of circumstances to rise up.
Zhang Yuting joined the Qing army in his early years and participated in the Sino-Japanese War.
After the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Yuting returned to Guandong and organized an insurance team during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 to take charge of local security, which made him famous.
During the Russo-Japanese War, Zhang Yuting first worked for the Russians, who had a large number of people, and then for the Japanese, who came from behind. He was able to mix well with both sides. After the war, Zhang Yuting's insurance team was recruited, and Zhang Yuting began his official career.
Although he came from a poor background, his rich experience allowed Zhang Yuting to rise rapidly in the officialdom. Before Lanfang declared war on Japan, Zhang Yuting had already served as a patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces and became the true king of the Northeast.
After the Vladivostok coalition forces led by Liu Zizheng entered Guandong, Zhang Yuting did not join forces in advance to join the seemingly stronger side as he had done several times before. Instead, he watched from the other side, hoping to reap the benefits.
Facts have proved that Zhang Yuting did have a vision. After the Vladivostok coalition forces surrounded Lushun, Zhang Yuting finally came forward and sent his subordinate Feng Jun to help the Vladivostok coalition forces transport supplies. At the same time, he personally rushed to the Liaodong Peninsula to meet with Liu Zizheng and prepare to choose a side.
For warlords like Zhang Yuting, Lanfang had already decided to find warlords who were close to Lanfang among the warlords in the Republic of China and support them to facilitate Lanfang's immigration from the Republic of China and to prepare for the future introduction of Lanfang's products into the Republic of China.
Huang Fugui has been responsible for this aspect of work. In the current Republic of China, the warlords closest to Lan Fang are Duan Zhiquan and Qin Yunpeng. It would also be good to have Zhang Yuting.
Zhang Yuting was the Northeastern King of the Republic of China, and most of his territory bordered Lanfang's northern Xinjiang. It was very important to have a good relationship with Zhang Yuting. It was of great significance both in the future and now.
Therefore, Liu Zizheng welcomed Zhang Yuting, so when Zhang Yuting arrived at Qingniwa, Liu Zizheng was very enthusiastic towards Zhang Yuting.
Qingniwa, many Chinese people are very unfamiliar with this name, but if you talk about the other name here, Dalian, it becomes well-known to everyone.
In 1919, Dalian was not the Dalian of the 21st century. It only had an unscrupulous name like Qingniwa. Lushun was not a district of Dalian, but the largest city in the Liaodong Peninsula.
Qingniwa is really uniquely endowed with superior hydrological conditions and unparalleled geographical conditions. Once we take over Lushun, we will be able to connect Lushun and Qingniwa. By then, this area will be a geomantic treasure. In front of Zhang Yuting
, Liu Zizheng made no secret of his ambitions for Lushun and Qingniwa.
The place where Liu Zizheng stayed was called Fortress Hill. There were originally two forts here, but they were both demolished by the Japanese.
There are actually forts in Qingniwa, but when the Vladivostok coalition forces were approaching, Kwantung Army Commander Tachibana Koichiro deliberately demolished all the forts in Qingniwa in order to concentrate his forces to defend Lushun to avoid being used by the Vladivostok coalition forces.
Although there are no artillery on this fort mountain, the view is excellent and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. As Liu Zizheng said, it is an out-and-out Feng Shui treasure.
It is indeed a good place, but it is a pity that it was occupied by little devils in the past. We Chinese cannot even freely enter our own land, and the government is powerless to take it back. It is really heartbreaking. If General Liu likes this place, wait until the Japanese catch up.
After leaving, we can sit down and talk. No matter what, as long as we Chinese manage this place, this is Chinese land after all. Zhang Yuting followed Liu Zizheng's wishes, but he did not take over everything.
It would be too biased to say that the governors of this era were all for their own selfish reasons, regardless of the people of the world. It is not that the governors did not want a good reputation, especially Zhang Yuting, maybe he was indeed Guandong covers the sky with one hand and does not obey the orders of the Beiyang government, but this cannot be used to say that Zhang Yuting is unpatriotic.
Otherwise, in another time and space, the Japanese would not regard Zhang Yuting as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of it quickly.
Even if Lanfang seems to be in the ascendant at present, and even if the majority of Lanfang's population is Chinese, Zhang Yuting doesn't have much intention of compromising. This can be discussed and a lot of articles can be made.
Haha, don't worry, General Zhang. After we in Lanfang drive away the Japanese, we will naturally hand over Port Arthur to the Republic of China and will not take it as our own. Liu Zizheng's promise was simple.
Liu Zizheng didn't lie. This was indeed the plan of Lanfang Military Headquarters.
Currently, Lanfang has Cam Ranh Bay in the south, Ningbei Port and Vladivostok in the north, and Keelung Port and Kaohsiung Port in the middle to support the north and south. There is no need to worry about defense, and adding a Port Arthur does not make much sense.
Really, really Zhang Yuting stood up from his chair immediately.
What are you lying to? Liu Zizheng doesn’t understand the sorrow of a weak country without diplomacy.
I'm really, really grateful. It's better to be a member of my family. Zhang Yuting was very excited. After searching for a long time, he found a member of his family to describe the relationship between Lan Fang and the Republic of China.
These are all trivial matters. There is no need to affect the relationship between our two countries for these trivial matters. Liu Zizheng is thinking openly.
Hi is naturally a trivial matter to General Liu, but to Zhang, even if he wants to take back these lands, he is powerless, ashamed, ashamed. Zhang Yuting's expression does not seem to be fake, and his eyes are red as he speaks.
This is the tragedy of a weak country. In terms of military strength, Zhang Yuting's troops were much larger than the current Kwantung Army. However, the gap in national power between the Republic of China and Japan was huge, which made Zhang Yuting unable to do anything even if he wanted to regain Lushun.
The most urgent task is to urge the government to go to war with the Japanese first. Otherwise, if the armistice agreement is signed, it will be all in vain. Liu Zizheng really considered the problem from the perspective of the Republic of China.
President Xu Da didn't want to join the war, but there were too many people who were holding him back. The resolution to declare war on Japan might not even pass the Congress. Zhang Yuting looked gloomy.
Speaking of which, President Xu Shichang of the Republic of China and Zhang Yuting had a very good relationship. As early as ten years ago, it was Xu Shichang who recruited Zhang Yuting when he was the governor of the three eastern provinces, and this was how Zhang Yuting rose to prominence.
In the Republic of China, there is a group of people who are still stubborn about the past. Now the Japanese fleet has been almost completely annihilated by Lan Fang. The Japanese are about to reach the end of the road. However, there is still a group of people in the Republic of China who firmly oppose the declaration of war against Japan. There are even some people Proposed to declare war on Lanfang.
This is simply putting the cart before the horse.
When dealing with these traitors, there is no need to be polite to them, just kill them all with one knife to avoid confusing the public. Liu Zizheng has become addicted to killing traitors during this period.
I also want to imitate General Liu and kill these traitors cleanly, but unfortunately if Zhang does this today, he may have to go home to farm tomorrow, and can only do nothing. Zhang Yuting knows the benefits of declaring war on Japan, but He couldn't help himself, and Zhang Yuting had no choice.
Farming is farming. I plan to find a piece of wasteland in northern Xinjiang after I retire. I usually open up wasteland and grow vegetables. When I am tired, I just eat side dishes and drink some wine. It is really like a fairy life, even if it is a fairy city.
No change. Liu Zizheng has ideals.
Not everyone is keen on power. In the Anti-Japanese War in another time and space, many veterans took off their military uniforms and returned to their hometowns to continue farming after victory. They did not even let the state arrange their work. Such people are the true backbone of the nation, compared with those who
People who think they can rest on their credit book and do whatever they want because they have made great contributions to the country and the nation are infinitely better off.
Hearing what General Liu said made me want to go back to the mountains and forests. When General Liu wants to farm, please call me so that we can be neighbors. Zhang Yuting was given a ladder and climbed up.
When it comes to Zhang Yuting and Liu Zizheng, it is impossible to be truly carefree. After all, there are too many people who have to rely on people like Zhang Yuting and Liu Zizheng to live, and they have too many ties.
It is very beneficial for Zhang Yuting to say this. At least he has instantly shortened the distance between him and Liu Zizheng. Regardless of whether they are real neighbors or not, at least he feels a lot closer emotionally.
This is easy to handle. Our fleet in the northern Xinjiang region is currently sweeping the Thousand Islands. To say Thousand Islands may be a bit exaggerated. There may not be a thousand islands, but there must be suitable ones. We can also buy one by then, and we can also become an island owner.
Enjoyable. Liu Zizheng really planned to think so.
Lanfang's attitude towards private property is to protect it. If you want to buy an island to satisfy the island owner's addiction, it is very simple. You just need to pay money, but it is worth a lot of money.
But at the level of Liu Zizheng and Zhang Yuting, they can still afford to buy an island.
Oh, if it’s true, that’s not bad. Zhang Yuting looked yearning.
Of course it is true, even a commoner will divide the land and house when he arrives in Lanfang, not to mention someone like Marshal Zhang. If the island is not compensated, the Prime Minister will not be able to do anything. Liu Zizheng tried to win over him with half-truths and half-falsehoods.
.
This kind of win-over is very necessary. The domestic power struggle in the Republic of China lasted for thousands of years. Needless to say, those who gained power naturally ended up being extremely miserable. That’s why the Republic of China had three cunning rabbits who didn’t put their eggs in the same basket, etc.
Similar allusions.
As far as Zhang Yuting is concerned, if Zhang Yuting loses power in domestic political struggles or military struggles, it is necessary to prepare a retreat in advance.
This is also the nature of the Chinese. Unlike Westerners, when Westerners lose in political struggles, they lose, and they look back and sum up their experience to make a comeback. But among the Chinese, losing is often the end, and there is no chance of a comeback.
Speaking of immigration, General Liu, during this period of time, a lot of people under my rule have fled to your northern Xinjiang region. If held accountable, Zhang will not be able to get away with the crime of neglecting his duties in defending the territory. Zhang Yuting expressed his merit intentionally or unintentionally.
Hahahaha, General Zhang, don’t worry. Based on our relationship, no one dares to hold you responsible. Liu Zizheng is giving Zhang Yuting reassurance.
Almost with words, a verbal agreement was made between Liu Zizheng and Zhang Yuting. Zhang Yuting will continue to provide population for Northern Xinjiang, and Northern Xinjiang will support Zhang Yuting. This is not only verbal, but also economic and military in the future.
