Anyway, Zhang Zuolin's call back had the same meaning: I don't know about this matter, and I haven't seen the plane. If I really want to investigate, then my own subordinates will have to investigate it myself.
Duan Qirui was really angry when he received the call back from Zhang Zuolin. He scolded Zhang Zuolin for his gangster style. He didn't look like a military commander at all, but looked like a gangster who robbed and cheated on the street. So he immediately ordered the order
He went to negotiate with the Feng faction under his own command, and also took a car to Peiping.
If we want to give a fair evaluation of this matter, it goes without saying that it must be Zhang Zuolin's fault. There is no such thing as two parties cooperating in a war and friendly forces robbing their own allies behind the scenes. But Zhang Zuolin doesn't care about this and is so talkative.
Everything that is said is false, and only what is actually in hand is real. Zhang Zuolin went from being a gangster in the forest to today's position as the king of Northeast China, and he knows this truth very well.
Therefore, even though this matter has made a big fuss, Zhang Zuolin still seems indifferent. As long as he becomes stronger, he doesn't care what others say.
But after all, the Fengtian clique was the biggest winner in this Zhili-Fengtian war. They did not exert much effort on the battlefield. Instead, they instigated the rebellion of the Zhili clique's capable general Feng Yuxiang. They also recruited the powerful Han Baihang's third division, and were receiving
When it came to weapons, equipment and captured personnel, the Feng faction also gained a huge advantage.
This battle really made the Feng clan make a lot of money.
The news about Han Baihang's hijacking spread out in a short time, but Han Baihang seemed to be fine with Duan Qirui's condemnation of Zhang Zuolin's behavior. No one came to investigate him, and most people didn't even know that he had done it.
This somewhat surprised Han Baihang.
According to Han Baihang's prediction, after he said that the Anhui plane was hijacked, someone would definitely conduct a tedious investigation on him. But now it seems that he is overthinking all this. Since he has nothing to do, Han Baihang will lead him coolly.
He went back with his team. After all, he went away and hid his merits and fame.
After the Zhili-Fengtian War, Zhang Zuolin originally wanted to control Peiping alone, but fate failed. Feng Yuxiang took control of Peiping and occupied Zhongnanhai before him, which made his wishful thinking come to nothing.
But at this time, he couldn't drive Feng Yuxiang out of Peiping. When the time came, he would be accused of burning bridges and adding insult to injury. Zhang Zuolin couldn't afford such rebuke, so the matter could only be left alone.
But Peiping can be temporarily occupied by Feng Yuxiang, but the weapons and equipment of the Zhili Clan and the captives in Peiping, as well as the Fengcheng Army, have all been collected and captured. Not to mention the defeated Zhili Army, even those who came
Zhang Zuolin had to find a way to get rid of the planes of the Anhui Clan that helped, let alone anything else.
Feng Yuxiang is not a fool. Zhang Zuolin's move is very obvious. He is clearly telling Feng Yuxiang that although you alone occupy Peiping, you do not have the final say.
Feng Yuxiang naturally understands this truth, but although he has an army in Peiping, how can he compete with the 220,000-strong army of the Feng faction? If a conflict really occurs, his own strength is not enough to fill the gap between others, so,
He can only think of ways to fight for his own interests.
Feng Yuxiang's method was also very simple. Since he couldn't have the final say in Peking, he couldn't let Zhang Zuolin's family dominate. At that time, he would still have his own, okay? So he hurriedly telegraphed to Duan Qirui, the Anhui Department, and
Sun Wen from the south came to Peiping to discuss the country's affairs.
It is said that they are discussing the country's affairs together, but none of these people is the best among them. They see all aspects of this matter clearly. This is undoubtedly Feng Yuxiang's way of blackmailing Zhang Zuolin.
However, everyone who received the telegram was happy to come to Peiping to discuss national affairs. The reason is very simple. If you don't go, you may not get any benefits. If you go, you can more or less gain some of your own interests. In addition,
On the one hand, if Zhang Zuolin monopolizes the right to speak in Peiping and "holds the emperor's power to order the princes," then he will have to act based on Zhang Zuolin's face. These people are all generals of one side. Who is willing to listen to others and watch?
Because of the other people's faces, no one was willing to watch Zhang Zuolin grow bigger, so after receiving Feng Yuxiang's telegram, everyone set off on the road to Peiping.
Duan Qirui was originally going to Peking. He was going to argue with Zhang Zuolin about how to solve the problem of his twelve planes. These twelve planes were his heart and soul. What would happen if he didn't come back?
With twelve planes, he lost almost half of his air power. He had to argue with Zhang Zuolin about this matter.
Of course, Zhang Zuolin also received Feng Yuxiang's telegram. He did not expect that Feng Yuxiang would move so quickly and take action before him, which made him very passive. However, he also knew that the telegram had been sent and there was nothing he could do about it.
, Furthermore, this war between Zhizhi and Fengtian was not fought by his side, so he had no reason to stop this negotiation.
Whether the power is powerful or not is another matter, but the form still has to be followed. According to the Constitution of the Republic of China, after the president abdicates, the successor to the next president must either be personally nominated by the previous president, and then the parliament will discuss and decide, or he must be
They are elected by the members present at the meeting, and the result of the recommendation is that the minority obeys the majority. The former is the old law, and the latter is the new law.
Therefore, no matter what, whoever wants to take charge of Peiping must obtain the consent of Congress and the Constitution, at least in form.
Although Cao Kun has been imprisoned by Feng Yuxiang, in any case, he is the president. Even if the president is elected through bribery, as long as it is passed by Congress, it will be legally effective. Therefore, the imprisoned president
He is also the president. If you want to elect the next president and convince the people, you have to pass Cao Kun's nomination.
On November 10, as Zhang Zuolin arrived in Peiping by special car, representatives from all parties also arrived at Zhongnanhai in Peiping one after another.
The meeting is scheduled after dinner.
At the dinner in Zhongnanhai, the big bosses from all parties greeted each other and complimented each other. Everyone was like meeting their old friends, asking for help, and never mentioned the recent events or the upcoming meeting. Their faces were filled with excitement.
A smile that is rarely seen at ordinary times. If someone who doesn't know comes here, they will really think that this is a gathering of a group of good friends.
