Just when everyone was waiting with bated breath to see Wang Zhenyu being hit on the head by Zhang Zongchang, Zhang Zongchang, who was unusually tall, suddenly flew backwards from Wang Zhenyu and landed three meters away. What's going on? Seeing Zhang Zongchang fall to the ground, everyone quickly looked back. The guard who followed Wang Zhenyu in was now independent with one foot, and the other foot was still in the posture of kicking out. It was obvious that Zhang Zongchang was kicked out by him. Kicked out. "Grandma, how dare you come to our northeastern gentlemen to cause trouble, brothers, go ahead and kill them." I don't know who shouted this, but it got an immediate response from everyone. The generals of Fengjun didn¡¯t remember who they were now. Anyway, they felt like they were back to the days when they were bandits. They immediately rushed towards Wang Zhenyu. The guard who kicked Zhang Zongchang away was none other than Wang Chenhao, who had rescued Wang Zhenyu from a tiger's mouth and became the personal guard leader. He easily knocked over three or four aggressive ones, and then suddenly tore him away. When everyone took a closer look at the military uniform, they were shocked. It turned out to be explosive, and it was the kind that ignites easily. Wang Zhenyu then said slowly: "I came here to express my condolences to Dashuai Zhang, not to fight with you. If you are not afraid of disturbing Dashuai Zhang and his old man, then you can just worry about it. I will take care of you and send you down to his old man." Apologize." Such frivolous words frightened the generals of Fengjun. They didn't bring any adjutants or guards with them. If they really wanted to risk their lives with others, I'm sorry, I'm not interested. At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang finally spoke: "What do you look like? The old commander has just left, and you are like this. How can you behave like this?" Wang Zhenyu ignored the reactions of the Fengjun generals. He followed the rules and offered incense to Zhang Zuolin and burned paper. , and then walked to the family appreciation area. Seeing the marshal Zhang Xueliang, who was only fifteen years old, kowtow to him to thank him, Wang Zhenyu asked softly: "Are you Zhang Xueliang? Your nickname is Xiao Liuzi." Zhang Xueliang nodded helplessly, and then summoned up his courage. He asked very boldly: "You are the southern guy Wang Zhenyu who gave my father a headache." Wang Zhenyu nodded: "Your father and I are rivals, but we respect each other. I am very sad about your father's death. I will definitely give you The Zhang family will explain." Zhang Xueliang shook his head and said: "My father said before his death that you are a great hero. In the future, the world will be either his or yours, so it is definitely not you who murdered my father, and there is no need for you to give us anything. What can the Zhang family say? We can't thank you enough for coming to express condolences to my father." Wang Zhenyu was surprised by such a steady performance by a fifteen-year-old child. He reached out his right hand and gently touched Zhang Xueliang's head, thinking. The adopted son Shen Quan, who was already thirteen years old, seemed to be so sensible. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a heart-wrenching child. He lost his father at such a young age. Xiao Liuzi, are you willing to recognize me as your adoptive father?" " There was an uproar at the scene. Zhang Zongchang, who was half sitting on the ground after being kicked with broken ribs, immediately shouted: "Xiao Liuzi, you can't regard a thief as your father. Even if he didn't assassinate the commander, he is still the mortal enemy of our army. You can't do anything. Never mind" Zhang Xueliang looked at Zhang Zuoxiang in confusion. He didn't believe Yang Yuting from the bottom of his heart. He preferred to believe in his father's brother Zhang Zuoxiang. In fact, Zhang Zuoxiang was indeed trustworthy. The defense of the Marshal's Mansion today The layout was arranged by Zhang Zuoxiang. As a result, what Zhang Xueliang saw was Zhang Zuoxiang nodding, so he nodded to Wang Zhenyu without hesitation and said: "My foster father is here, please bow to me." Wang Zhenyu laughed loudly, and then coldly shouted to the Fengjun general: "From now on, Zhang Xueliang is my adopted son, and the Zhang family's affairs are my Wang Zhenyu's business. Anyone who dares to have any bad thoughts should give it up immediately, otherwise don't blame me, Wang Wenzheng, for being rude." Wang Zhenyu walked to Zhang In front of Zong Chang: "Fengjun will be changed into the Northeast Frontier Defense Army from now on. We welcome anyone who is willing to participate. Anyone who is unwilling to participate, I can clearly tell you the consequences now. The war in Shandong has ended, and the Japanese have also been I was defeated, but the brothers in the fifteen divisions under me have not had enough fighting yet. They all hope to have a good fight and make contributions. In addition, the people of Shandong have suffered a lot in the past two years, and they are all clamoring for liquidation. I am very I'm happy for someone to stand up and let everyone vent their anger." Hearing these words, Zhang Zongchang's heart went cold. He glanced at Wang Zhenyu with severe pain, and suddenly felt that the man in front of him was scary. He shrank back involuntarily, but still didn't. say. Wang Zhenyu knew that this tall man was really scared, so he walked away without saying anything more. Yang Yuting looked at Wang Zhenyu who was walking away, and then glanced at Zhang Zuoxiang who was protecting Zhang Xueliang like a father, and could only sigh deeply. In fact, after Wang Zhenyu defeated the Japanese, the entire Fengjun army, except for Zhang Zongchang, basically gave up the idea of ??competing with the Southern Youth Army for the world. After Zhang Zuolin's death, they not only stopped fighting for the world. , everyone already felt that the Fengjun family business could no longer be sustained. Apart from anything else, just thinking about the pile of debts owed by the old commander gave people a headache. This is not the most important thing. If Zhang Xueliang was seven or eight years older, then Fengjun could continue to develop with him as its leader. However, Zhang Zuolin, the eldest son, was only fifteen years old, so there was no one inside Fengjun. Avoiding the loss of centripetal force, the era in which everyone is qualified to be a boss is an era in which no one can be a boss. Yang Du could not persuade Yang Yuting to change his ways anyway, so he chose to work with the Beijing General Station to instigate Yang Yuting's 150,000 troops. Yang Yongtai successfully grasped Zhang Zuoxiang's desire to protect the heirs of the Zhang family, and successfully persuaded Zhang Zuoxiang to take the foreign troops with him. 120,000 troops surrendered to Wang Zhenyu, so there was the condolence scene. Wang Zhenyu gave the most generous terms he could. From this moment on, in the eyes of the veterans with strong feudal ideas, Zhang Xueliang's future Being guaranteed means that one's own future is also guaranteed. Wang Zhenyu accepted Zhang Xueliang as his adopted son, which essentially means that Zhang Xueliang has the right to inherit Wang Zhenyu's career. Even if he cannot inherit, it means that he has a bright future. Isn't that what everyone wants to be an official? Do you want to live a good life? Since big shots like Zhang Zuoxiang and Yang Yuting don't bother anymore, just follow them. Yang Yuting is not a fool. For Wang Zhenyu to appear in Fengtian, he must have come by plane like Yang Du without knowing it. The most reasonable explanation is that the rumors are true. Many senior generals under his command have been successfully succeeded by the Youth Army. Instigated rebellion. In the ninth year of the Republic of China, on January 1, 1920, after a night of quarrels and compromises, Yang Yuting and Zhang Zuoxiang finally reached an agreement with Yang Du and Yang Yongtai, announcing that Fengjun would change its banner from that day forward and accept the leadership of the National Government, and Zhang Zuoxiang would be appointed as the Northeast Governor. The Border Guard Army Commander, Yang Yuting, is the Chief of Staff. The Northeast Border Guard Army has ten divisions under its jurisdiction. After the reorganization work of the next three years, most of the old people in the army were kicked out of the army and transferred to local governments, while the middle and lower-level officers After screening, they were sent to military academies to be reprocessed. The Northeastern Border Guard Army, like the Northwest and Mongolian Border Guard Forces, was filled with Wuhan Army University graduates. The force was also reduced to six divisions, and its parent organization, Fengjun, became history. Zhang Zongchang, who returned to Baoding with injuries, thought again and again and found that he no longer had the strength to resist. Although he had an army of 600,000, he did not have the arms, military pay, or materials needed for the battle. Plus Zhang Zuoxiang, Yang Yuting Having surrendered, he could only agree to change his flag. Subsequently, as agreed, 600,000 Zhili Allied Forces were surrounded, followed by a three-month transformation and screening. Those with criminal records would all be sent to labor camps, while the rest, except for some qualified personnel, were recruited into the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. All were abolished. In return, Zhang Zongchang was allowed to move his family to the French Concession in Shanghai until he was assassinated by the son of his enemy a few years later. Since there are no more troops opposing the National Government nationwide, the central government in Beijing is destined to perish, both in name and in reality. In Nanjing, faced with the oncoming victory, Sun Wen, who was caught off guard, once again showed his weakness. He decided to give in to Wang Zhenyu in exchange for the political capital to unify the country. However, under the leadership of Sun Wen, the National Government Resisting powerful enemies and making peace within all directions, Xiong Xiling's position as Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council was naturally restored. And out of courtesy, Sun Wen also appointed Xiong Xiling as the plenipotentiary representative of the National Government to Beijing, taking over the central government from the Beijing government that existed in name only. Big flag. On January 10, Zhang Zizhong of the First Division of the Youth Army marched into Beijing with a victor's attitude. Then under the gaze of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the First Division, Zhang Shaozeng, the last prime minister of the Beijing Central Government, personally paid tribute to the Nanjing people in Tiananmen Square in a humble manner. Government representative Xiong Xiling handed over all official seals, and at this moment the Beiyang government, which was destined to occupy an important position in Chinese history, became history. Duan Qirui, an old man from Beiyang who was specially invited to attend the handover ceremony, and Cao Kun both cried in confusion. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life in the capital flocked to Tiananmen to witness this great historical moment, the fall of an old regime and the birth of a new regime. Zhang Shaozeng looked at the surging crowds at Tiananmen and said to Xiong Xiling with emotion. : "Brother Bingkun, life is like a dream and things are impermanent. I never thought that I, Zhang Shaozeng, would go through two dynasty changes in my short life, the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. What else can I say? I can only hope that you, the National Government, can really lead Our old China is moving toward democracy and prosperity. " Xiong Xiling nodded: "We will, as long as there are heroes like Wang Zhenyu. ) lead us, and we will surely make this ancient nation rise again.¡±
