"Sister-in-law, this is ......" Wang Maoru was shocked.

Guo Shuxiu cried: "Although Mao Chen has antipathy, he has no antipathy. The Northeast Army is like an iron plate, how can Mao Chen lead troops to fight against you? How many soldiers and horses can he pull in? This Northeast Army was established by you, and Mao Chen is a foreign officer, how can there be so much energy to threaten you. ”

Wang Maoru sighed and said, "But it's true that he contacted the officers to prepare for the rebellion. ”

Guo Shuxiu said: "My husband, I understand, he may do have a whimsical idea in his heart, but it is just an idea, he must weigh the pros and cons when the matter comes, and he can't do it, at most, he will launch a joint letter to ask Xiushuai to stay away from the Japanese and other powers." He does have antipathy, but he has no antipathy. She knelt in front of Wang Maoru and said: "Now that Maochen is dead, some of him has indeed done something wrong, people can't be resurrected after death, and I have no other requirements, I only ask for one thing." ”

"What?"

"Give Maochen justice! It was true that he was courting the officers, but after all, it was just an idea, not a rebellion, and he asked Xiushuai not to put it on Mao Chen in the name of the rebels, so that he would be uneasy after his death. Han Shuxiu begged.

Wang Maoru stood for a long time, weighing the pros and cons after all, it was still inappropriate, and he sighed apologetically in his heart, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, for the sake of the stability of the Northeast Army, I can't do it." A few days later, Guo Songling's wife, Han Shuxiu, committed suicide with a gun after her husband was buried. Wang Maoru looked depressed after hearing this, and ordered a thick burial of the two, the two had no children, but they also had to find a good cemetery to bury.

It doesn't matter whether Guo Songling is wronged or not, since he is dead, the case must not be overturned. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be even more unstable. Wang Maoru thought a little tiredly, who was behind Guo Songling's death, Xu Shuzheng? I'm afraid that not only Xu Shuzheng is jealous of Wang Maoru, but also of Wang Maoru's subordinates, especially the militant Guo Songling. If Wang Maoru still abides by the morality of some of his peers of the Beiyang warlords. Guo Songling will never abide by it.

Zhang Zuolin? I'm afraid it's also possible, although Zhang Zuolin is far away in the northwest and is now calling for wind and rain, but if he wants to return to the northeast. First of all, count a few of your subordinates.

Could it be Japanese? The Japanese are very jealous of Wang Maoru, and they also know Wang Maoru's officers very well, and Guo Songling, who is the main combat faction, has always had an extremely bad attitude towards the Japanese. There are often talk of expelling Japanese forces in China.

The above are all possible, but there is another possibility that Wang Maoru's internal forces are fighting for power.

Wang Maoru's subordinates are absolutely obedient to his orders, but it does not mean that they do not have their own small forces, Baoding Department, Model Department, Lu Da Department, Non-commissioned Officer Department, Yakeshi Department, and Green Forest Department. Faculty of Studies, Faculty of Naval Affairs, etc.

The Baoding department was the old courtier who first followed himself to fight the world, headed by Li Delin, and this part of the people was only loyal to themselves and had a high position. It can be called the largest faction in the Northeast Frontier Army.

The model department is headed by Li Pinxian, who is mainly assigned from the model army, and many of the main generals in the army are from the model department.

Lu University, headed by Niu Delu, graduated from the Army University, and Guo Songling is also a graduate of the Army University, but Guo Songling's personality is stubborn and extreme. is also at odds with Niu Delu, so Guo Songling has no close relationship with Lu Daxi.

Although the green forest system is headed by Gai Tianjiu, in fact, the green forest system does not have much energy, Gai Tianjiu has been satisfied with the lieutenant general and division commander, and the green forest department is the quietest group of people, some green forest personnel have gradually changed their lives after entering the army, and they have also changed their attitude to life.

The Fengwu Department is headed by Guo Songling and Liu Zhe, and the Liaoning villagers who have studied in the Fengtian Lecture and Martial Arts Hall also have a strong anti-Japanese feeling. But Liu Zhe has a close relationship with Wang Maoru, and he chatted with Guo Songling mostly because of his background, and Guo Songling contacted the officers this time, but he did not think of contacting Liu Zhe.

The non-commissioned officer department is the abbreviation of the Yakeshi non-commissioned officer department, which is a faction that has risen recently, and are all young people who were born in the Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and gradually showed their strength in the army, and because they were originally taught by German ** officers, these people have a strong German Army officer style, and the Yakeshi department has not formed a strong energy group, and there is no one who can be called the leader of the faction.

As for the research department, it is a civilian group of officers and officers composed of Pu Ji and Pu Na, Pu Ding and others who are attached to Wang Maoru, and these people are rising because of Wang Maoru's rise, and they do not lead soldiers in the army, and they can't talk to other officers about competing for power, of course, after Pu Ding served as the chief of the officer department, the faction also has a certain right to speak.

The naval department is a naval group, because the development of the navy has been slow, so the naval department is relatively not significant in the military. As for other small factions, or people who have no faction at all, there are also people in the army, such as Shang Yuanqing, who has an alternative temper and personality, is one of them.

And Jiang Fangzhen, whom Wang Maoru relies on the most, is also a person outside the faction, that is, he has been the chief of education of the model army, the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, and the president of the Army University. Wang Maoru trusted him, and Jiang Fangzhen didn't need to unite anyone, because no one would target him.

Zhu Yongquan is also an exception, he is a graduate of the Army University, but he is a smart person, and no one can rely on anyone to offend. He is the number three person in the army, his status is far heavier than Guo Songling, and he is willing to rank below Li Delin, and now he is guarding Mongolia is enough to see Wang Maoru's reliance on him.

Guo Songling's competitive and suspicious personality determined what he did, not to mention that his suppression of his colleagues caused dissatisfaction among many factions, just saying that he repeatedly contradicted Wang Maoru was enough to cause attacks from the officers. But Wang Mao cherished his talent and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and others complained at most a few words of handsome partiality.

This time, Guo Songling's private contact with the officers had different aspirations, especially the plan to force Wang Maoru, which was very likely to make the officers who were dissatisfied with him collectively denounce him, and his death just allowed these officers to find an outlet for their grievances.

Guo Songling's death, did he die of rebellion or accumulated resentment? That's not the point. The point is that after his death, he must not make any changes in the army and people panic. Therefore, his death must not be overturned, and his death is an explanation to the other officers.

Wang Maoru then also asked the CIA to transfer the case to the Judge Advocate Advocate General's Office, and gave special instructions to Zhu Huailong, who was in charge of the Judge Advocate General's Office, on the case of Guo Songling's rebellion. Don't make a big fuss, don't involve your family, and don't expand it.

With the approval of the Northeast Frontier Army Command, the Military Justice Department of the General Security Department published all the details of Guo Songling's anti-Wang campaign.

Guo Songling, as the deputy chief of the general staff of the Northeast Frontier Army, is responsible for the formation and training of the army. Managing the army, recruiting and other work, he hopes to enjoy more power after Xiushuai gains territory. However, ** is not satisfied after. He was lured by some hostile forces to contact a junior officer to prepare to assassinate Wang Maoru. When Xiushuai Wang Maoru returned from Europe, he eliminated Guo Songling's rebel group on the third day, and the main culprit Guo Songling was killed in a hunched manner, and the other main culprit, Guo Yingzhou, also confessed all the details, including preparing to lead the 40th Brigade to suddenly attack Shenyang City to create chaos, and kill Wang Maoru in the name of Qingjun's side. In addition to these two main criminals, after the announcement of the General Security Department, Guo Songling's brother-in-law (cousin) Zhang Xu had trained a group of men to prepare to assassinate Wang Maoru, and Zhang Xu was also killed by CIA agents while protecting Guo Songling.

What everyone is most concerned about is. Since Guo Songling is anti-willful and instigated, who instigated it.

Without waiting for the General Security Department of the Northeast Frontier Army to issue a notice, the Beijing government immediately sent officials to the north to appease Wang Maoru, and former Premier Duan Qirui criticized some people with ulterior motives in the newspaper for hurting Wang Maoru and hurting the pillar of the country. It is an act that brings calamity to the country and the people, and the Anhui system will resolutely oppose this force that misleads the country and the people. In fact, Duan Qirui didn't know that this was Xu Shuzheng's personal behavior, and Xu Shuzheng didn't dare to sue him, Xu Shuzheng also quickly sent someone to make peace with Wang Maoru, saying: "I deeply regret this matter (Guo Songling's anti-king), the king is the pillar of the country." To hurt the king is to hurt the country. The brother will definitely fight for the interests of Jun in the central government and compensate Jun for the harm he has suffered. "Since Zhang Siheng is dead, there is no evidence for his death, Wang Maoru can't accuse Xu Shuzheng of hypocrisy, and he can't come up with evidence.

Wang Maoru sneered twice when he saw this letter of Xu Shuzheng's personal superstition, and said to the comer: "If you want me to calm my anger, sue him (Xu Shuzheng), Meng Enyuan and Meng Dadu should be a member of the central government, and the position of the Northeast Metropolitan Governor should be a young man to sit down." Also, I was deeply saddened by Guo Songling's incident, and decided not to go to Beijing to participate in the celebration banquet of the army participating in the war, and to save provincial state funds. In his heart, Wang Maoru slightly thought that he had fallen for Xu Shuzheng's counter-plot and killed Guo Songling, which made Xu Shuzheng breathe a long sigh of relief. First, Guo Songling, a militant, was too threatening to Xu Shuzheng, and second, he avenged the seizure of an army division.

Of course, the news of the killing of Guo Songling by the internal power struggle was also rumored, but Wang Maoru immediately forbade it to talk about it, and Guo Songling's death temporarily became a maze and should not be resolved at this time.

Wang Maoru, who suffered Xu Shuzheng's dumb loss, hated him more and more. If Xu Shuzheng didn't send people to the Northeast to run around, Guo Songling would not have two hearts, and Wang Maoru would not be so sensitive to him, and he would not have caused many officers to attack him, so as to lead Guo Songling, the No. 4 person in the Northeast Frontier Army, to be captured and killed, of course he would send his resentment on Xu Shuzheng. But he didn't think that it was precisely because he had a prejudice against him that Guo Songling had rebelled against Zhang Zuolin in the world in his memory, and after the brewing and fermentation of this matter, it finally evolved into another reason why Guo Songling was killed.

Guo Songling's death, Xu Shuzheng, resentment within the Northeast Army, Guo Songling's radical personality and Wang Maoru's prejudices are all behind the scenes. Taking advantage of Guo Songling's case, Wang Maoru refused the invitation of the Beiyang government, and at the same time, under the pretext that the situation of the Northeast Frontier Army was not stable, he politely refused the invitation of the Japanese prime minister, but instead invited Otani Kihisazo, commander of the Japanese army to participate in the war, to come to Shenyang as a guest to discuss the matter of interfering with Russia and sending troops.

After Guo Songling's death, the Northeast Frontier Army Headquarters dealt with 21 officers who participated in the conspiracy against Wang Maoru, who were either sentenced, educated, or locked up, but did not hurt their families, but were deprived of family allowances. However, the biggest benefit that Guo Songling's death brought to Wang Maoru was that some ambitious people immediately calmed down, and Xiushuai was able to fight people with dissent internally, and he was never soft and polite. rs
