Chapter 902, Premonition
Chapter 902, Preface
After Sun Zidao got in the car and left, Zhang Chunyu quickly picked up the telegram and threw it into the stove with water boiling. He immediately issued an order that in order to follow the orders before the division commander left, the division headquarters must send officers to the Libao to supervise the matter in person, and then sent away several trusted officers who were not his.
After clearing all the idle people, he waved to his adjutant and said, "Send someone to send the news to the city and tell the 27th Division that the 28th Division will follow the plan. In addition, call the people from the *** delegation over and let them stay in the division headquarters."
The adjutant nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll go now."
Not long after, the adjutant returned again, and there were five people wearing military uniforms of the 35th Division. Except for the leader, the other four were all *** people. After seeing these people, Zhang Chunyu said to them: "Don't run around now. In short, when it's time for you to come on stage, I will notify you and stay here in the division headquarters for the time being."
The Chinese in charge translated Zhang Chunyu's words, and one of the taller men nodded decisively, and then said in unfamiliar Chinese: "We know, thank you, Commander Zhang for giving us this opportunity. Please rest assured that our *** side will fully support your military admonition. When your actions are successful, we will present to your head of state a letter written by our emperor, hoping to convince your head of state to give up reckless and stupid behavior."
Zhang Chunyu looked at these *** people coldly. No matter how he looked at them, he didn't think that these people were like diplomatic envoys, with cold expressions and consistent attitudes. However, he didn't care about so much. Anyway, he had collected money from the *** people and did something for them. Besides, the risk of military refutation this time is extremely high, and he also needs to use the shadow of the *** government to increase the confidence and influence of those who participated in the witchcraft. This is a killing of two birds with one stone. Even after the failure, there is a backup retreat.
After explaining to the *** people, Zhang Chunyu left the division headquarters and sent his subordinates to guard the division headquarters' tents on both sides. He came to the stationing point of the nearby 35th Division Division Guard Battalion, where he summoned several of his confidant generals, carefully met, and emphasized the plan for the next action.
According to the plan they had formulated before, at 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Zuolin, Feng Delin, Meng Enyuan and others would come from the city to the military camp to meet with the 35th Division, and then go to the small building on the grounds of reporting to the head of state for important matters. After Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin entered the small building, the division guard battalion must control the head of state guards at the first time. At the same time, the 45th Regiment sent people to ignite the fire in the guard regiment camp directly under the Group Army Command, seized the guard regiment headquarters while assisting the guard regiment to extinguish the fire, and completely controlled the entire Sujiatun camp.
Most of the generals of the 35th Division were from local warlords. They thought it would be fine to accept the forced reorganization of the central government. They should be treated as a way to improve their living conditions, but they never expected that the central government planned to let them go to the front line to fight! Whether it was fighting the warlords in the Northeast or the *** people entrenched in the Northeast, these were things they strongly opposed. Why should the central government make the local army pawns when fighting a war? Besides, the country was finally stable at this time, who the fuck wanted to use a knife and a gun? The three northeastern provinces had always had close relationships with Rehe. Isn’t this intentional provocation?
Because of this, after the *** people matched them up and utilizing the names of many generals from the three eastern provinces, they finally persuaded them to lead the 35th Division to launch this military admonition. Anyway, military admonition was a way of admonition, and they did not intend to really take Wu Shaoting's life. Even if they offended Wu Shaoting, the central government would not be able to shoot all the 35th Divisions.
At six o'clock in the evening, the sky in the north had completely entered the night.
Outside the provincial government mansion in the south urban area of Fengtian City, a car quickly drove along the street and stopped at the gate of the mansion. After seeing the license plate number, the servant at the door of the mansion confirmed that it was a government public vehicle and hurriedly came forward to open the door. A middle-aged man in a flag suit walked out of the car and asked directly to the servant: "Which room does Lord Xu live in?"
The attendant was stunned and said in confusion: "Which Lord Xu are you talking about?"
The middle-aged man said impatiently: "Mr. Xu from Hei Province, where is he in now?"
The attendant looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "This... this villain cannot make the decision, you have to go to the front desk to ask."
The middle-aged man stopped talking and walked into the gate quickly on the steps in front of the door. There was a clerk following behind him. Although the two of them had no expression on their faces, anyone could feel their urgent emotions.
After entering the lobby of the mansion, the middle-aged man had not yet walked to the front desk, he suddenly saw two officers in military uniforms and pistol boxes sitting in the lounge area beside the window of the lobby. At the same time, the two officers also saw him and immediately stood up with a puzzled expression. It was obvious that both sides knew each other.
The middle-aged man simply did not go to the front desk and walked over directly to the two officers. Before the other party could ask, he asked first: "Where is your Commander Xu? Which room is it?"
One of the officers with the rank of captain stepped forward and asked calmly: "Mr. Bi, why did you suddenly come to Fengtian? Aren't you planning to participate in this spring's third-year military training?"
The middle-aged man was Bi Guifang, the governor of Heilongjiang Province. He was originally a Manchu bannerman. During the Beiyang government, he served as the entourage of the ministerial envoy in Vladivostok. Later, because Tsarist Russia instigated the rebellion of the Prince of Outer Mongolia, Yuan Shikai was transferred to Heilongjiang Province and presided over the foreign affairs of the two countries' borders. The "Master Xu" he had been asking about was Xu Lanzhou, the commander of the First Division of the Heilongjiang Provincial Army.
Although Bi Guifang was the governor of Heilongjiang Province, Xu Lanzhou, who really held real power in Heilongjiang was Xu Lanzhou who held military power. Xu Lanzhou represented the local military and political forces in Heilongjiang, while Xu Lanzhou was the representative of the Beiyang Central Committee. When Yuan Shikai ordered Bi Guifang to take office as the governor of Heilongjiang, Xu Lanzhou and Zhang Zuolin colluded with each other to try to exclude Bi Guifang, with the purpose of not wanting the Beiyang government to reach too deep. Unfortunately, the foreign incident became increasingly serious at that time, and the Beiyang government was tough, so they could only tolerate Bi Guifang.
Bi Guifang had discussed the orders of the second army Cao this time, but Xu Lanzhou had his own plans and had always ignored Bi Guifang. In desperation, Bi Guifang simply ignored everything and pushed all the matter to Xu Lanzhou. Therefore, when he was invited to Fengtian to attend the second army Cao in the second army, he himself did not plan to participate at the first time, and just asked Xu Lanzhou to act on his behalf. Anyway, Xu Lanzhou also wanted to weaken the representativeness of the governor.
However, just last night, Bi Guifang received a shocking news. For this reason, he didn't care about open and secret struggles with Xu Lanzhou, and immediately took a train to Fushun. Since Fengtian Railway Station had been transferring the North First Army for a while and was attacked by the military, he had to switch to a car to drive into Fengtian City. Fortunately, he arrived early.
"Don't worry about so many things for now. Where is the commander Xu? I have something urgent to do." Bi Guifang shouted loudly.
"Mr. Bi, you didn't inform me before you came. I'm afraid that Master Xu will not be convenient for you to meet him now. Otherwise, you can wait here for a while and go upstairs to report it." The captain's face was a little bit bad when facing Bi Guifang's pressure. Although he was Xu Lanzhou's man, he didn't have to give Bi Guifang face, but the other party was a provincial governor and he could not offend the senior officials.
"I still need to inform you? Who am I? Am I an outsider? I'm here to save his life this time!" Bi Guifang shouted angrily, attracting the rest of the lobby to look here.
"Sir, no matter what, you have to say it, you have to say politely." Another officer interrupted.
Just as Bi Guifang was about to continue to lose his temper, there was a bustling sound at the entrance of the stairs in the lobby. A crowd of people appeared from the turn of the stairs and walked downstairs toward the lobby. The group of people were following in front, back and forth, and the ones surrounded by them were not someone else, but Xu Lanzhou, who was looking for. At this time, Xu Lanzhou was just talking to another colonel officer. Judging from the uniform of the colonel officer, he should be an officer of the Fengtian army.
The captain who had spoken to Bi Guifang before quickly ran up and said a few words to Xu Lanzhou.
Xu Lanzhou then looked up and saw Bi Guifang standing not far away. He was shocked at first. Why did Bi Guifang suddenly come to Fengtian?
Bi Guifang came to Xu Lanzhou with a serious expression. He glanced at the Fengtian Army officer standing beside Xu Lanzhou. He didn't know him, so he adjusted his attitude and said, "Teacher Xu, I have something to talk to you alone. This matter is very important."
