Chapter 487: Entering the City of Beijing

Feng Yong's special train stopped at Beijing's western suburbs station. At the station it was already full. If there is anyone who is in the limelight in China at present, it is undoubtedly Feng Yong, whose ability is almost demonic. Feng Shaoshuai completed a great feat that was difficult for others to complete in several lifetimes at the age of a weak crown, and naturally became the object of people's pursuit.

The station was full of people who had come to greet me. The leader is Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China. Originally, according to his status in the current government, Li Yuanhong, the big president, did not have to come forward. At that time, Li Jun also informed Li Yuanhong that he would not use it. But Li Yuanhong still came. It is still clear who is the real ruler of the Beijing government, Li Yuanhong. And for the legendary Feng Shaoshuai, he thinks it's better to come to see him in person. After all, no matter how powerful Feng Shaoshuai is, he is also a young man, and the young man's heart must have it. If this matter makes him dissatisfied and becomes a handle, then he Li Yuanhong will have a sad life in the future. Now Li Yuanhong only hopes that he can finish his term of office with peace of mind. He didn't even think about being elected. Even if Young Marshal Feng doesn't serve in person, there are still a lot of Northeast bigwigs. Among them, Feng Delin is the best candidate. After all, in the Northeast, Feng Delin has always been the candidate who was pushed to the front by Feng Yong, and Feng Yong controlled everything behind the scenes as a young marshal.

The city of Beijing has been the capital of China since the Yuan Dynasty and the place where the Chinese dragon veins converge. It is one of the ancient capitals of Chinese civilization. After Yuan Shikai established the Republic of China, the capital was Beijing, which continued the atmosphere of this political center. Because Yuan Shikai was usurped by the Manchu minister, the ancient city of Beijing barely experienced the war. Later, the Northeast and Beiyang went to war, and because of the uprising of Feng Yuxiang of the Beiyang Army, the ancient city of Beijing was completely preserved. The current Forbidden City is full of Manchu flavor. The atmosphere of the dynasty is strong. On the streets, there are even some unproductive Manchurians who live by the addiction of their ancestors. It's just that they no longer have the arrogance they had back then.

The Forbidden City is also a place where the Manchus are concentrated, but those big families with great influence have been led to the northeast by Yuan Shikai, and now they are basically wiped out by Feng Yong, and the rest cannot affect Yuan Shikai's regime and are retained in Beijing, and even at that time they still have some privileges. After all, Yuan Shikai's background determines that he cannot be ungrateful. It's just that the privileges of the Manchurians were also completely deprived after Yuan Shikai's death. After the Northeast Army occupied Beijing, these people had no privileges to speak of, and they trembled, fearing that the fate of the Guanwai people would fall on their heads. It can be said that they are the most nervous people in Feng Yong's southward migration.

Feng Yong and Jiang Baili walked down the station one after another, looking at the large crowd that greeted them, Feng Yong frowned unconsciously. I didn't expect so many people to come. Fortunately, Feng Delin didn't come. After all, Feng Delin is Feng Yong's old son, and Lao Tzu came to pick up his son as a subordinate with great fanfare, and it was wrong for Feng Yong's reputation to spread it. Li Yuanhong's arrival surprised him. Although Feng Yong has never seen him, he has seen Li Yuanhong's photos, and he is quite impressed.

"Young marshal!" Li Jun greeted him with a smile. Feng Yong laughed, looking at Li Jun, whose face was not very good, Feng Yong gave him a hug boldly. The meaning is clear, brother, you have worked hard.

Then Feng Yong gave a junior salute to Li Yuanhong, and Li Yuanhong stepped aside, not daring to say anything. After a little greeting, everyone hugged Feng Yong and left the station. Several Zhonghua II cars were parked outside. The first license plate was 1, which was Feng Yong's car. Feng Yong didn't care too much about this arrangement, after all, it was no longer a feudal era.

The cars produced in Northeast China are limited, and they are basically used by senior cadres. The automobile industry in the Northeast is still far from being able to export commercially. At present, the baggage troops in the Northeast Army are still mainly pack horses, and the number of trucks is very small.

"Young Marshal, we have cleared out the Forbidden City, do you want to live in it?" Li Jun asked in a low voice. The two of them were in the same car, so naturally they had a lot to say.

"What am I doing with that thing, I'm not the emperor. I just live in Zhongnanhai. Feng Yong thought for a while and said. For the Forbidden City, Feng Yong didn't want to live in it, it was too big, and once it was renovated, it would be a major damage to the historical relics. It is better to make it a museum as it was in history. And because of his own reasons, the Forbidden City is much more complete than in history, and he is also ready to get back a large number of precious cultural relics brought to the outside of the customs by the Manchu remnants and send them to the Forbidden City Museum.

In addition, the political headquarters of the Celestial Empire in the previous life was in Zhongnanhai, Feng Yong was extremely yearning for it, and he hoped that he could inherit this luck and let the empire he had built develop and grow.

Zhongnanhai is now home to the Presidential Office and the Government Council of the Beijing government. The presidential palace is still the residence of Li Yuanhong, and no one can let him leave until he leaves the position of president. So under Li Jun's arrangement, Feng Yong lived in the original Duan Qirui's mansion. Of course, the plaque has been replaced with the Young Marshal's Mansion, and the insiders have also been replaced. Feng Delin's Governor's Mansion is adjacent to this mansion, which is not much different from the layout of the house in Changchun, which also shows that Li Jun has put his mind on this matter. Moreover, Li Jun's mansion and Zhang Zuolin's mansion are both in Zhongnanhai, and other families are not qualified to live here even if they have more money. After all, the entire Southeast China Sea region is not open to the outside world, but has only become the residence of government officials.

On the day he arrived in Beijing, Feng Yong held a meeting, and the meeting venue was set at the Ziguang Pavilion in Zhongnanhai.

Li Yuanhong, Feng Delin, Li Jun, Jiang Baili, Zhang Zuolin, Wang Sa, Shi Yuewang and other high-level officials of the Beijing government attended the meeting. Although Li Yuanhong was sitting on the main seat, everyone's eyes were looking at Feng Yong who was smiling. Everyone was waiting for Feng Yong to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the future, we will be in this Forbidden City to look down on the world!" Feng Yong smiled and spoke, quite high-spirited.

"Young Marshal, do you have any other big moves to go south this time?" Li Jun asked. Feng Yong's mind is difficult to guess, and he often does things unexpectedly. Even his partner Li Jun couldn't grasp Feng Yong's thoughts. And this time Feng Yong went south in a really hurry, and it took only a few days from preparation to departure. I am afraid that this also has a deep purpose.

"Not bad. This time I hurried south, and I did have a lot of ideas. But this is probably different from what everyone imagined. Feng Yong said with a smile.

"Yong'er, are you going to use troops against the southwest or the north?" Feng Delin asked. After all, with the strength of the northeast, it is already able to launch a war to unify the whole country.

Feng Yong shook his head and said, "The Northeast Security Army will have no combat missions in the next six months. Our most important task now is to digest the proceeds of the wars and keep this land firmly under our government. ”

"The war in the southwest is imminent, won't we intervene?" Zhang Zuolin asked with a frown. This is a good opportunity, if the southwest is in chaos and the Northeast Army intervenes, then the whole situation will definitely be one-sided, after all, the Northeast Army is now almost looking around the southwest, and tens of thousands of elite troops are traveling on the southwest border. It is not even difficult to assemble an army of 100,000 in a short period of time. In addition, the training of one million recruits in the Shandong Military Region is now nearing completion. It is a good opportunity for large-scale use of troops.

"We're not going to take the initiative to send troops." Feng Yong said in a deep voice. The meaning is very clear, if other forces do not use troops in the Northeast, the Northeast will not make a move.

"Young Marshal, is there something big going to happen?" Li Jun asked with a frown. Feng Yong's statement made Li Jun difficult to understand. After all, the Southwest Rebellion is a good opportunity, and you can get the maximum return at the lowest cost, as for Feng Yong's fear of developing too fast and the problem of unstable foundation, it must exist, but it is not serious enough to collapse if it expands again. After all, the Northeast has cultivated a complete cadre training system. Several batches of officials have also been provided for crash courses at several universities in Changchun, and although they may not be qualified, it is okay to play an excessive role. What's more, Shandong trains a million-strong army, and as long as the equipment is completed, the entire defense area can be stationed separately, and the possibility of problems is almost zero. Once the recruits are stationed, hundreds of thousands of troops on active duty can be drawn out to participate in new operations, and there are nearly 500,000 soldiers on active duty in the northeast. As long as 100,000 people can be mobilized, it will have a decisive impact on the situation in the southwest.

Feng Yong shook his head and said: "I know the doubts in your hearts, the unification of the whole country and the great cause of achieving great things is also a huge temptation for me, but the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step." Our stride to the Northeast has been huge. Moreover, the first war with the Japanese has already caused us huge losses. If you use the knife again, it will be a heavy pressure. Now that the disparity of power between the Allies and the Allies in World War I had become more and more apparent, the war potential of the German side was facing exhaustion, and the situation of defeat was arising. Signs of the United States' entry into the war are also becoming more and more apparent, coupled with our old neighbor Japan. The outcome of the war in the West can be said to be basically doomed. It's just a question of how long this war will last. And what we want to do is what is in the interests of this war for our Northeast. ”

"Young Marshal, what does the war in the West have to do with us, although our government is inherited from the Beiyang government, it does not recognize its treaty of war with the Allies. Does the young marshal have to agree and get involved? Zhang Zuolin said.

Feng Yong shook his head and said: "In the Western World War, the demand for materials is almost unlimited, and it is a good opportunity for us to develop international trade and restore our national strength. After the armistice with Japan, we already have some say in the world. Isn't the German ambassador in contact with us now? We can't form an alliance with Germany, but that doesn't mean we can't do business with the Germans. We in China do not lack all kinds of resources, and Germany has the most advanced technology, and we can jointly develop military enterprises. This will not only raise the level of our military merits, but also enable us to obtain huge benefits. Why not? Feng Yong has long coveted the war wealth, and he can't replicate the success of the United States, but it's no problem to learn from it and get some benefits.
