Zhang Xueliang watched Han Baihang agree to surrender, and the joy in his heart was beyond words. This was the main third division of the Zhili Army. However, Wu Peifu didn't know how to cherish it before. Now under his command, Zhang Xueliang will definitely let him show his full potential.
Remarkable power.
Although Han Baihang agreed to surrender to Zhang Xueliang and Fengjun, he still had several demands, and these demands were very important to him, which related to whether he and his brothers would have a say in the future.
Han Baihang knew that it was extremely difficult to do good things for the country and the people in such troubled times. He had to first gain control of the power step by step and reach a certain position, and only then could he have the right to do good things. Han Baihang knew that,
Even if Zhang Xueliang treats himself as such a polite and virtuous corporal, if he surrenders to the Fengcheng faction but does not have his own armed strength, even if Zhang Xueliang still values him, what about others? What about the Northeast King Zhang Zuolin, Jiang Dengxuan, and Guo Songling and Yang Yuting? Which of these people is not?
The human race is a dragon and a phoenix, and no one is watching with eager eyes. In the war years, we must not be too naive!
Han Baihang knew that he was now the defeated general, but he still put forward his own conditions to Zhang Xueliang.
Han Baihang looked at Zhang Xueliang for a moment and said: "Young Marshal Zhang, you can ask me and my brothers to surrender to the Fengcian faction, but I still have a few conditions. Although I am a defeated general, I still have to raise these conditions!"
Zhang Xueliang was overjoyed as long as Han Baihang could submit to nature, and naturally he didn't care about any small conditions. Besides, no outstanding general has any backbone. Even if Han Baihang was defeated, he was unyielding and still maintained his position as a senior general.
Zhang Xueliang's demeanor was enough to impress Zhang Xueliang. He also looked at Han Baihang and said: "Mr. Han, just ask for any conditions. As long as I can achieve it, I will naturally spare no effort!"
Han Baihang said: "Young Marshal Zhang, I have three conditions. I don't know if you can accept it. The first is that after I surrender to the Fengcheng faction, I request to be an independent armed force and directly accept the dispatch of Marshal Zhang. In addition,
It is not subject to any control and is not responsible for others. Second, my squad of 100 people still follows me. My team is recruited and formed by myself. The size cannot be smaller than one division! Third, I will no longer accept any combat against Wu Peifu and his subordinates.
Mission. I only have these three conditions. I, Han Baihang, am not a pretentious person. If the young marshal can agree, I, Han Baihang, will have no problem with it. If I cannot agree, then our conversation will end here!"
Zhang Xueliang thought to himself after hearing these three conditions from Han Baihang.
This first article is very strict for the Fengcun. It only accepts Zhang Xueliang's transfer orders, which means that it is not subject to any jurisdiction other than this. It sounds like there is no problem, whether it is surrendering to Zhang Zuolin, surrendering to Zhang Xueliang, or surrendering to Zhang Zuoxiang
, anyway, they all joined the Feng army and were all armed by the Feng faction, but with the second point added, the situation is completely different.
Recruiting and organizing his own armed forces sounds reasonable everywhere, but with the first point in mind, he can form his own armed forces without obeying the jurisdiction. This will easily allow him to breed an extremely powerful force.
It would be okay if the forces were under control, but if the wild horse was not tied to the hitching post, the consequences would be disastrous.
Zhang Xueliang knew that Feng Yuxiang's case was right in front of him, and he had used this defecting general to win. He had to guard against such things.
But then again, people are different. Feng Yuxiang can buy it with money, but he can see that for Han Baihang, no matter how much money is given, it is impossible to buy it as long as he is not willing. But this is still
It's a risky move.
Zhang Zuo also had strong objections to such conditions. When he saw Zhang Xueliang who was thinking, he snorted a few times, not sure whether he was expressing his attitude or reminding Zhang Xueliang.
Zhang Xueliang thought for a while and then resolutely agreed to Han Baihang's conditions.
Han Baihang was not surprised. He really knew Zhang Xueliang very well. Even if he took a gamble, he would not give up such a good opportunity to recruit him. And this opportunity was really created by his own strength.
As for Han Baihang's third condition, Zhang Xueliang didn't think much about it. The Zhili-Fengtian war was coming to an end, so why did Han Baihang need to fight anymore? Besides, Han Baihang was originally a Zhili clique. If he faced a Zhili clique general, he would not be able to lose face, so he should treat it as an opponent.
It's just the last bit of tribute.
When the dust settled, the two young generals who both injured their left hands in the same war stretched out their right hands to shake hands. Perhaps only they could understand each other. From then on, the two young generals of the Republic of China stood on the same front.
.
Zhang Xueliang's Third Corps suffered heavy losses in this battle with Han Baihang. Some of the soldiers of the Third Corps were dragging stumps and broken arms, while others were carrying the bodies of their comrades. No matter how bad the battle situation was, they would never
It is the rule of Zhang Xueliang's regiment to leave any comrade behind.
Han Baihang's third division had long since been reduced to ashes. Except for most of the hundred-man squad, the rest of his soldiers had died in this battle. Seeing him shaking hands with Zhang Xueliang and making peace, Han Baihang felt heartache.
, they are all Chinese. If they had known about today, why bother at the beginning? Without this battle, how could both sides suffer losses?
But who should I blame? Is it Zhang Xueliang's fault? He also followed military orders. Is it his own fault? He couldn't help it. Han Baihang can't blame his own soldiers. He can only blame this chaotic era, chaotic government, and chaos.
situation.
Han Baihang can understand the profound meaning of the ancient Chinese saying "It is better to be a peace dog than a man in troubled times" and the helplessness and sorrow hidden behind it. In this war, how many mothers lost their sons, how many wives lost their husbands, and how many children
They lost their fathers, and some of them were sent to the battlefield by themselves, and some died by their own hands. How sad, when will China stop attacking the Chinese!
Almost every time after a war, Han Baihang felt like this. This was not because he was too sensitive or hypocritical. No one looked at the corpses on the ground without feeling sad, and no one looked at the scarred soldiers without feeling sad.
I feel sorry for them. They are soldiers and fighting just to support their families, but the war has cost them their lives. Moreover, this is not a battlefield to fight against the invaders, but a graveyard for the Chinese to kill each other!
