Chapter 50: Planning
"Jingtong, pay close attention to the situation in the southeast, and at the same time let Yue Han report on the situation in Liaoning Province during this time." Feng Yong's mind turned around, thinking about whether he could benefit from it.
Yue Han is the person in charge of Liaoning Province in Feng Yong's "secret stab". Ever since he knew that Duan Zhigui was still serving as the envoy of Fengtian as he had done in history, Feng Yong had sent people to pay attention to the situation in Fengtian City. As a key figure in Feng Zhang's struggle for hegemony, Feng Yong will of course pay close attention to his dynamics.
Duan Zhigui: A native of Hefei, Anhui Province, the word Xiangyan. Graduated from Beiyang Military Academy. He successively served as the General Staff of the Army's First Town Command and Supervision Department. After the Wuchang Uprising, he was appointed by Yuan Shikai as the commander of the right wing of Wuwei and the governor of Huguang. After the establishment of the Republic of China, he served as the commander-in-chief in Beijing, commanded the army and the right army of Wuwei, and succeeded as the commander-in-chief of the Gongwei Army and the commander of Chahar. In 1913, he served as the Jiangxi Xuanfu envoy and the commander of the First Army. In the following year, he was reappointed as the governor of Hubei, and in 1915, he was appointed as the general of Fengtian, and he was also appointed as the patrol envoy. Soon, the generals of the fourteen provinces secretly presented Yuan Shikai and supported the imperial system. In 1917, he accompanied Duan Qirui to crusade against Zhang Xun, and served as the commander of the Gyeonggi garrison and the chief of the army. In 1919, he was reappointed commander of the Gyeonggi garrison. The following year, he served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the Anhui system in the Zhiwan War. He later died of illness in Tianjin.
Now Duan Zhigui has just been promoted to the post of Fengtian Governor, and he is in charge of the military affairs of the three eastern provinces. is also a confidant of Yuan Shikai, the president of the Republic of China, and it is when the spring breeze is proud, Feng and Zhang are also extremely stammered with him. Feng Delin, Zhang Zuolin and others, in order to curry favor with Yuan Shikai and cooperate with Duan Zhigui, jointly submitted a "Petition for Changing the National System" to the Beijing Senate to create public opinion for Yuan Shikai to be the emperor. None of these things have changed because of Feng Yong's appearance.
In Duan Zhigui's life, in order to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, get promoted and make a fortune, and seek personal gain, he often used beauty tricks. In 1900, Yuan Shikai was appointed as the governor of Zhili by the Qing Reform Mansion. Yuan immediately transferred Duan Zhigui, who relied on himself and got his own respect, as the general office of the patrol police in the northern section of Tianjin, but Duan was not satisfied with this, he was greedy for money and lustful, and did what he liked, and bought famous prostitutes and beauties to give to Yuan. This move won the favor of the Yuan family, and under Yuan's preservation, Duan became the Tianjin Patrol Police Road. The beauty plan was successful in the first attempt, and Duan's tasted the sweetness and was proud. Duan Zhigui has used beauty tricks many times since then, making his official fortune prosperous. But Duan Zhigui was also a famous straw bag commander in the early Republic of China (for details, please refer to Duan Zhigui's Baidu Encyclopedia).
Duan Zhigui himself is also a greedy and womanizer, and has been dismissed from office many times in his life for corruption and bribery. But he is good at drilling, but he has not changed at all. For one term as an official, dig three feet into the ground.
Originally, in history, Feng Delin offended Duan Zhigui because when Duan left the three eastern provinces, Feng Delin robbed him of the finances he had looted in the Northeast. Those finances were Duan Zhigui who used his power in Fengtian to steal and withdraw government funds privately.
"Such a straw bag character can also be in a high position in the Republic of China, I have to say that it is the sadness of this era!" Feng Yong carefully thought about the situation about this Duan Zhigui in his memory. Although Feng Yong didn't know much about Duan Zhigui's life, he also knew that this guy was extremely greedy for money and lustful. In less than half a year, millions of silver dollars of property were looted in the three eastern provinces and large quantities of valuable arms were intercepted.
"Jing Tong, inform Yue Han and get some property to please Duan Zhigui. It doesn't hurt us to have a good relationship with him. Feng Yong commanded. Anyway, in this era, there are many brothels, and although Feng Yong is not very interested in them, it does not prevent him from using these things to achieve his own goals.
"Yes!" Jing Tong nodded.
"Whether you can get benefits from Zhang Zuolin's actions, this Duan Zhigui is the key." Feng Yong said with a smile.
Mukden, Zhangfu.
Zhang Zuolin's face is not very good-looking, during this period of time Duan Zhigui became more and more arrogant, the so-called governor under his command made the yamen simply a tool for him to collect money, and he resold arms and opium on a large scale, which made Liaoning Province, which had been calm, become a miasma for a while. For Duan Zhigui, Zhang Zuolin felt a headache, Duan Zhigui was Yuan Shikai's henchman, he was too big, as the saying goes, the big dog still depends on the owner. Duan Zhigui is nothing, just a lackey of a fox and a tiger, but the Beiyang government behind him is a big crocodile, and it is definitely not something that he can resist now.
How could Zhang Zuolin not know the purpose of Yuan Shikai sending Duan Zhigui to the Northeast. Don't you just want to be the emperor yourself! It's just that Yuan Shikai is worried that his name will not be right, so he wants to get the support of real power figures from all over the world. I want to be a bitch, but I also want to set up a torii. Zhang Zuolin was disdainful at the same time, but also a little envious, emperor! Ninety-five, which man doesn't want to be in a yellow robe. It's a pity that that position is definitely not something that the current Zhang Zuolin can covet.
"Dashuai, with Lord Duan here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to make a move on the southeast of Jilin. But now that Feng Yong has become the climate, I'm afraid that by the time we want to do it, the real Jilin is already in Feng Yong's hands. Tang Yulin, who was full of beard, said. Now Tang Yulin and Zhang Zuolin have not clashed because of the conflict between the military and the police, and Tang Yulin is still Zhang Zuolin's right-hand man.
"I didn't think we all underestimated Feng Yong. Originally, I thought that he didn't like the military, and his future achievements would definitely not be as good as my little six. But now it seems that everyone has lost their eyes. Zhang Zuolin sighed and said.
With Duan Zhigui here, Zhang Zuolin couldn't let go of his hands and feet to make a move on Jilin. You must know that in the establishment of the Republic of China government, his 27th Division has only more than 30,000 people, but in fact, over the years, neither his 27th Division nor Feng Delin's 28th Division has stopped expanding. Now his 27th Division is nominally one division, but in fact three divisions have more troops. According to the official establishment of the Republic of China, the 27th Division consisted of two brigades and eight regiments. But in fact, Zhang Zuolin's regiment has been expanded to more than 30 years. It has more than quadrupled in size. The same was true of Feng Delin's 28th Division.
If the Beijing government knows that there is such a strong military in the northeast, it is unlikely that the Beiyang Army will fight it, but it will definitely become inevitable to restrict the development of the three eastern provinces.
"Yulin, how many troops do you think it will take to take the entire southeast region?" Zhang Zuolin asked.
"At least 30,000 regular troops. According to our intelligence, the mountain eagle is also gathering strength, and the number of his Eagle Yang army should exceed 10,000! With the training of Orientals as officers, the combat effectiveness is not trivial. Tang Yulin said.
"10,000 elites, plus tens of thousands of bandits, 30,000 troops is really not much. Damn, if it weren't for Duan Zhigui here, my army would definitely be able to kill a mountain carving. Zhang Zuolin said with some unwillingness.
"Dashuai, or we will encroach on the land in the southeast of Jilin step by step. Anyway, we have four regiments on the Jiliao border, plus the nineteenth regiment in Jilin, five regiments should be able to occupy a large area of land. Tang Yulin said.
"Five regiments, fifteen thousand people, the pressure will be very great!" Zhang Zuolin pondered.
"Marshal, my subordinates are willing to personally rush to the Jiliao border to command the battle." Tang Yulin said.
"Very good, I'll be relieved when Yulin goes. In this operation, the speed must be fast, for the forces of the mountain eagles, it is best to destroy them, they can not be eliminated, and they can also be defeated, and they must occupy the southeast region of Jilin as quickly as possible. I'll try to buy you time. Zhang Zuolin said.
Tang Yulin nodded and said, "My subordinates will set off for the Jiliao border now." ”
"Remember, there must be restraint with regard to the Japanese on the border between Jilin and Korea. The Japanese are not something we can provoke. ”
"Yes!"
Looking at Tang Yulin who was far away, Zhang Zuolin sighed leisurely and said, "Brother Feng, you gave birth to a good son!" "Feng and Zhang are of equal strength, and they are both eyeing Jilin, but they can't make a move under mutual restraint. Instead, Feng Yong took advantage of a loophole. Because Feng Yong's original reputation was not obvious, none of the major forces in the Northeast put him under surveillance. Who knew that it was this kind of negligence, and by the time the major forces reacted, Feng Yong had already carved out a world in Jinan. There is also a force that is not weak. The Siberian tigers all suffered a small loss at the hands of Feng Yong.
Fortunately, Feng Yong temporarily stopped after occupying Changchun, which made the major forces in the Northeast feel a little at ease. The entire Northeast is again stuck in an eerie equilibrium. Coupled with the patrol sent by the Northeast government, Duan Zhigui intervened, and the major forces maintained the greatest restraint. However, it cannot be said that Feng Yong's actions did not cause a butterfly effect.
The rise of Feng Yong and Zhang Zuolin's imminent move made the expansion of the official troops of the three major bandits such as the Siberian Tigers more than a year ahead of schedule. This incident was originally after Zhang Zuolin completely became the nominal feudal official of the three eastern provinces. Now because of Feng Yong's butterfly effect, it has advanced by more than a year.
Tang Yulin's departure did not attract the attention of other forces, after all, Tang Yulin was originally a soldier of the 27th Division, and he did not usually live in Fengtian City. But Tang Yulin's actions fell into the eyes of Feng Yong's secret agents, who were paying special attention to the government. Soon, the news of Tang Yulin's departure was sent to Feng Yong.
"Tang Yulin? It seems that Zhang Zuolin really can't hold his breath. The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, I wonder if I can become this yellow finch? Feng Yong's eyes were fixed on the map of the southeast region. This is a piece of fat, a big piece of fat, but Feng Yong doesn't have the ability to eat it completely. And Feng Yong also subconsciously didn't want to eat them all, because after eating the southeast of Jilin, Feng Yong would have to face North Korea controlled by Little Japan, at this time, Little Japan was probably still planning to be full of power, and he would definitely become their target, whether it was to use or exterminate, it was not what the fledgling Feng Yong wanted.
Although his security corps has expanded rapidly and has no problem in dealing with ordinary bandits in combat effectiveness, there is still a big gap between it and the Japanese army equipped with heavy weapons in this era. Feng Yong didn't have the ability of Mao Taizu's millet plus rifle to hit the American troops armed to the teeth. In Feng Yong's conception, he must build his security corps into a heavy firepower unit, at least in terms of heavy weapons that can be compared with the Japanese army in this era. He now has such good conditions, and he will definitely not take the means of exchanging human lives for victory.
The first regiment and the fifth regiment held on to the spot and remained vigilant at all times. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th regiments were all assembled in Fengyong Town to wait for a concealment. Feng Yong himself secretly came to Feng Yong Town from Changchun.
