Chapter 356: Students
In the first battle of Langfang, 1,200 braided troops were defeated and 300 were killed!
In the first battle of Yangcun, 1,700 pigtails were defeated and 450 were killed!!
In the battle of Nanyuan, in the face of a counterattack by the 5,000 pigtailed army, more than 830 people were killed!!
In just eighteen hours, three hearty victories in a row have severely damaged the spirit of the rebels and greatly increased the prestige of our side, and it was less than 1,500 Fengjun soldiers who created this miracle! It is such a strong army that can accomplish the feat of recovering the Middle Road, and it is such a mighty army that dares to say no to the great powers.
At present, in China, only the Feng army can firmly safeguard China's sovereignty, whether it is in the face of foreign powers or in the face of the restoration group, the Feng army has fulfilled the sacred duty of a soldier. From the beginning of the restoration, Fengjun issued a statement of rebellion on the same day, mobilized into the customs that night, and the next day the divine army descended from the sky and appeared on the front line of the rebellion.
Among the rebel armies from all walks of life, the Feng army was the farthest away, but it was the first to appear on the battlefield and won brilliant victories in a row, while some armies were slow to stand still, sitting back and watching Zhang Xun rebel, and then even cut off the supply of the Feng army, so that the front-line soldiers had to fight the rebellion with bayonet fists, we must eradicate the restored Zhang Xun group, and we must also declare war on some conspirators who have brought disaster to the country and the people!
β¦β¦
The area around Beijing and Tianjin is the most developed area of the press industry, and since the restoration of the Braided Army, these reporters have been digging into news topics, and they soon found that perhaps the Zhang Xun group is not the biggest selling point, and the conflict between Fengjun and Duan Qirui is the real thing.
Everyone can see it very clearly, don't look at how Zhang Xun tosses, more than 1,000 Feng soldiers can beat them all over the ground to find teeth, this restoration drama will not last long, on the contrary, the contest between Feng Jun and Duan Qirui is the most interesting, and even represents China's next political trend.
One is to sit on the resources of the whole country. The Beiyang Group, which has been expanding rapidly since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the other is the emerging shili that guards outside the pass and has a strong military force, and the collision between the two is bound to be very interesting.
On top of this incident, Feng Jun completely occupied the name of righteousness, coupled with Zhang Tinglan's operation behind the scenes, soon formed a trend of crusade against Duan Qirui in the media, Duan Qirui is no longer a hero of the rebellion, on the contrary, he is still a complete conspirator.
This change in public opinion is a fatal blow to Lao Duan's prestige. As an old-school figure, Duan Qirui is quite powerless against public opinion, he doesn't know how to manage it, and he doesn't know how to change it, so he can only sigh.
"Humble words. Now that public opinion is in an uproar, can you give me a reason. Feng Jun is not ready to replace Duan Qirui. Entering Beijing? Zhou Xuexi and Sun Liechen were sent to the front line one after another with troops and logistics materials, after all, Lao Zhou, as a figure in Beiyang, is still quite sensitive to some things.
"Duke Zhou, Feng Jun has no such intentions, I admit that he has moved his hands and feet in terms of public opinion. But there is no way to do this, everything is forced by Duan Qirui! β
"What do you mean by that?"
"Zhou Gong, the three eastern provinces are rich in land and fertile fields. There is unparalleled wealth buried underground, Japan and Russia covet the three eastern provinces, and even do not hesitate to fight for this, you have been in the capital for a long time, don't you still see clearly? Duan Qirui disregarded the interests of the country and openly mortgaged the right of way and mineral rights of the three eastern provinces to the Japanese. β
Zhou Xuexi is also an old man, Zhang Tinglan is not wrong at all, the situation in the Northeast is indeed very critical, the Japanese are constantly moving, and even if they take back the Middle East Road, they must always deal with the counterattack of the Russians, sandwiched between the two major powers, but Lao Duan is still stabbing in the back, once something happens, Japan is bound to blackmail the Feng army.
Thinking about the situation of the Feng army, it is indeed not easy, of course, only in this bad situation, can a strong army be sharpened, the wolf looks around, if the knife in his hand is not sharp enough, I am afraid that he will end up with a broken body.
"Hey, Duan Zhiquan's secret loan agreement with the Japanese is indeed a bit excessive, he wants to retrain the army, and then follow the example of Yuan Gongbao at the beginning, organize a reliable liliang, and unify the whole country by force."
"No matter what his plans are, the country's territory cannot be lost, and the rights of the Northeast cannot be sold, this is the bottom line that cannot be touched, Lao Duan must completely give up this idea, otherwise the Feng army will have endless means."
Although Zhang Tinglan instructed Sun Liechen and put forward two conditions to Duan Qirui, Zhang Tinglan would not be so naΓ―ve that a verbal promise would have an effect, what if Lao Duan turned his head and didn't admit it! Therefore, Feng Jun must make Lao Duan feel the pressure and make him dare not sell the Northeast, which is what Zhang Tinglan wants to achieve.
"Well, as long as you don't want to replace Duan Qirui, everything is easy to discuss, and I am willing to mediate when necessary, so don't fall out!"
"So thank you Gong Zhou!"
"It's all one family, not two families. You are young, thoughtful, and both civil and military, you are really a rare talent, and you have a great future in the future, but I want to remind you of two things! β
"Zhou Gong, you are a senior, just say what you have to say."
"I found out that the young marshal Zhang Xueliang is now following your men, this situation is very bad, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Yuting will not have ideas, you have to deal with this matter well. Anything else? I just want to get married as soon as possible, and I can handle it when I return to Fengtian this time, and I must not wronged my niece! β
If Zhou Xuexi still had some thoughts about Zhang Tinglan's son-in-law in the past, thinking that he was born as a bandit and was not worthy of the girl of the Zhou family, now Zhou Xuexi is looking forward to marrying his niece to Zhang Tinglan as soon as possible.
As for reminding Zhang Xueliang to deal with the relationship, this is also for Zhang Tinglan's consideration, after all, the helmsman of Fengjun is still Zhang Zuolin, if Zhang Tinglan presses Zhang Xueliang everywhere, Lao Zhang will inevitably have ideas.
Zhang Tinglan is also very aware of this matter, but he is not worried, after all, there will be drastic changes in Russia soon, and then the other world will be opened, Zhang Tinglan is also confident to get rid of the subordinate relationship with Lao Zhang and become a relatively equal partner, but Zhou Xuexi can remind this, and it can also be seen that Zhou Xuexi still puts himself in Zhang Tinglan's shoes.
"Gong Zhou, I know these things in my heart, so don't worry. At the moment, there is one thing I want to ask you, Zhang Xun restoration, the people in Beijing and Tianjin have suffered from the war, many people have been displaced, I am ready to set up a refugee resettlement center, if these people are interested in the development of the three eastern provinces, we can resettle, the cost required, we also have to pay, that is, we need your help to organize it! β
"That's no problem, it's my duty to say that you have enough money? If it's two or three hundred thousand, I can help you out. β
"There is no problem with funding, I am ready to invest five million, not only farmers, workers and students, as long as there is a skill, the Northeast is very welcome!"
Zhang Tinglan's words were not finished, Zhou Xuexi was almost choked by a sip of tea, he thought that Zhang Tinglan wanted to settle the refugees, but he just bought a good reputation, and he could invest about 100,000 yuan, which was already an astronomical amount, so he took a big package and wanted to take out two or three hundred thousand.
How do you know that Zhang Tinglan is five million in one mouth, and Zhou Xuexi was stunned all of a sudden, his own money is not even a fraction, this guy can turn a stone into gold, how can he have so much money!
Zhou Xuexi didn't know what was going on, Zhang Tinglan's money was all contributed by Zhang Xun just now, and it was a windfall. If you can immigrate to the northeast in large numbers, it will definitely be a great thing for the development of the three eastern provinces.
These people will definitely not go in normal times, and now, they have no choice, as long as Zhang Tinglan is willing to spend money, there will definitely be many people who are willing to go north.
"Zhou Gong, if there are factories, schools and the like, and you are willing to move to the three eastern provinces, I will welcome it with both hands, and I will solve all the relocation costs."
Zhou Xuexi was also shocked by Zhang Tinglan's generosity, and could only nod in agreement, at this time, there was a chaotic sound outside Nanyuan, and Zhang Tinglan hurriedly took someone out to check.
I saw that many young people came to Nanyuan one after another, most of them were dressed as students, and all of them came to see the soldiers of the Feng army with great curiosity.
Zhang Tinglan also couldn't figure out the situation, and after asking his subordinates, he found out what was going on, it turned out that these students had read the newspaper, and they heard about the brave achievements of the Feng army, and they all wanted to come over to appreciate the appearance of this army that was blown into the sky.
There are more and more people, and the barracks have been fenced, Zhang Tinglan frowned when he saw it, now Beijing is still a battlefield, and it is easy for emergencies to occur, and these students are really bold enough to dare to run over like this.
They are all full of enthusiasm, Zhang Tinglan is not easy to drive away, but he can't let them disturb the order here, his eyes rolled, and he finally had an idea.
"Students, I just learned about your situation, and everyone wants to participate in the rebellion, which I feel very much, you are all good! But you must know that the battlefield is not child's play, and you will not be able to go to the battlefield without any training. β
"General, we all have a heart to serve the country, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of sacrifice, Fengjun is a team of heroes, we are willing to join Fengjun!"
Zhang Tinglan looked at these eager students, and said that they were indeed simple, and rushed over when he saw the newspaper, but Zhang Tinglan had already had the idea of recruiting students to develop in the Northeast, which happened to follow his wishes.
Zhang Tinglan waved his hand to the students present and quieted everyone down: "Students, if you want to do things for the country, you don't necessarily need to go to the battlefield, you can do other things. Now in the area of Beijing and Tianjin, how many people have been displaced and homeless, if you want, you can become volunteers to help these people, if you behave well, Fengjun will give priority to admitting you, and there is also a chance to arrange for you to go to a university in the Northeast, or even a martial arts hall, to become a glorious officer!
