Fengxian Jiangshan

() From the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the arrears of military pay was an unavoidable bad habit of the Chinese army. It is not the direct line of Beiyang, and there is no one in the court, so it is inevitable to be in arrears.

"Fourth brother, the money from the Japanese is not so easy to get. They are careful to be greedy. This time, the loan from Japan is not without conditions. They asked us to protect the commercial interests of Japan in Fengtian. They also said that after Yuting was promoted one step higher , To strengthen cooperation, ri's meaning is very clear, we took other people's money today, and we will do things for them tomorrow! One day ri's demands will exceed our bottom line, then what should we do!"

Sun Liechen was aware of Zhang Zuolin's difficulties, but he always held a repulsive attitude towards borrowing money from Japan. He always felt that Japan was ambitious and could not associate with Japan.

"What's wrong with doing things for the ri people? The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. President Yuan can't let us have enough food and clothing. I, Tang Yulin, will do things for the ri people. At least these ri people will do what they say, and they will never be short Our money!"

"Tang Yulin, what are you talking about!" Zhang Zuoxiang, who had been silent in the last seat, suddenly stood up and said sharply: "Back then, Japan and Big Nose fought in the three eastern provinces. We all know how many bad things they did. If the Japanese ask you to kill our fathers and brothers, you can do it too!"

Zhang Zuoxiang has a relatively soft temper among the crowd, but the more honest he is, the more he can stick to the bottom line at critical times and will not compromise easily.

Tang Yulin saw that both Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang had come out to oppose him, and his momentum was a little weaker, but he was still not reconciled, and continued: "Zhang Zuoxiang, don't take yourself too seriously. How about President Yuan? Didn’t you also sign 21 articles before, although some clauses were removed, but you still bowed your head to Ri himself. If the president is like this, what curse do we have!”

"It is only because of the lessons learned by the great president that we cannot make mistakes. How many people have scolded Yuan Shikai during this period, I, Zhang Zuoxiang, don't want to be poked in the back by others!"

The more the two sides talked, the more angry they became, and they were about to start a fight. Zhang Jinghui on the side hurriedly said: "We are all brothers, so we have something to say. Let me tell you, let's stop arguing. There are thousands of people in the family and one person is in charge. Everyone listens to the boss." Seven, let him make up his mind!"

Tang Yulin, Zhang Zuolin and others also managed to suppress their anger, and all looked at Zhang Zuolin who was above the main seat. At the critical moment, it was up to the head of the family.Zhang Zuolin frowned, didn't say a word, just smoked his cigarette, and he sighed after a long while.

"Brothers, I know Japan's wolfish ambitions, but there are more than 27 mouths waiting for the 1th division. I, Lao Zhang, can't let my brothers be wronged. I borrowed this money!"

As soon as Zhang Zuolin's words came out, it was tantamount to a final decision. Everyone was familiar with Zhang Zuolin's temper and knew that what he had decided could not be reversed.Tang Yulin was beaming, as if he had won a big battle.The others also stopped talking, only Zhang Zuoxiang remained hesitant to speak.

Everyone dispersed, Zhang Zuolin grabbed Zhang Zuoxiang, "Old Ba, I understand what you said. In a sentence, I call it "seeking skins with tigers!" But knowing that there is a trap ahead, I will jump, or the 27th division will It's over. For Ri himself, we can only use it and prevent it!"

Zhang Zuoxiang didn't say anything, he also knew that being a family member was not easy, so he had no choice but to leave Zhang Zuolin's mansion sullenly, he didn't go to work, and went home directly.

As soon as Zhang Zuoxiang walked to the door of his house, he saw Zhang Tinglan, the eldest son from the corner of the street, rushing back beaming, and the father and son bumped into each other.

Zhang Tinglan just came back from Daosheng Bank. Fred is a very shrewd Jewish banker. Zhang Tinglan also spent a lot of time confronting him, and his hard work paid off. He finally persuaded the old Jewish man to agree. Support your own plans.However, Fred also made a request, that is, he must meet Zhang Zuolin in person. Only when he reached an agreement with Zhang Zuolin can he rest assured.

Zhang Tinglan saw that he was still looking down on her own weight, and had no other choice, so she had to come back and find a chance to explain the matter to her father as soon as possible.

The father and son bumped into each other in front of the door, Zhang Tinglan seemed a little unhappy when he saw his father's gloomy face, and he couldn't figure out what Zhang Zuoxiang was thinking, so he could only honestly follow Zhang Zuoxiang to the courtyard.

Zhang Zuoxiang sat on the Eight Immortals table under the grape arbor, picked up the pipe, and started to smoke without saying a word.

Zhang Tinglan is also more curious about what happened. If you know that he is the son of Zhang Zuoxiang, he has already been labeled as a Feng family. He and Feng Jun share weal and woe. If there is any difficulty, he can help find a solution !

"Father, what is it that makes you so worried!"

"Hey, what do you know about my lord's affairs. Your seventh uncle wants to borrow money from Ri himself."

Zhang Zuoxiang said something casually, and he didn't expect his son to understand these things. But now Zhang Tinglan suddenly turned pale in shock, and said loudly: "Absolutely not!"

Zhang Tinglan still has some understanding of the Feng family. It can be said that the Feng family can succeed in Japan, and lose in Japan!Without the support of Japan, Zhang Zuolin could not have become king of the Northeast so smoothly, but when the Feng faction was out of control, Japan himself killed Zhang Zuolin and launched the September 14th Incident. The Feng faction warlords completely became history, and the three eastern provinces also Since then, it has fallen for [-] years.

Therefore, when Zhang Zuoxiang said that Zhang Zuolin was going to borrow money from Ri himself, Zhang Tinglan felt keenly that she seemed to be at a critical historical juncture. Whether the fate of the Feng family could be changed was in her own mind!

"Father, Ri himself has ulterior motives. If he borrowed their money, he will never repay it in his lifetime. Moreover, the loan is just a stepping stone. Most of them will push forward and gradually control the 27th Division in their hands. By then, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Zhang Zuoxiang originally thought that Zhang Tinglan was just a simple emotional outburst, because of the 21st article, Ri's image in China was greatly hit, and many passionate students had anti-ri emotions.But when he heard Zhang Tinglan's next words, he immediately felt that his son could see more clearly than himself, so Zhang Zuoxiang wanted to hear his son's opinion very rarely.

"Ting Lan, what do you think is the purpose of Japan's loan provision?"

"It's nothing more than wooing and controlling. The loan is a bait. The price they offered at first will not be very high. It makes us feel profitable. After the first bait is eaten, there will be a second one. Three. Ri's own hands will continue to reach out in all directions, and when they feel that we have lost their effect, they will kick us away without hesitation."

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded. He opposed the loan, but he was only worried that Japan would make unreasonable demands and it would be difficult to refuse.Now after hearing what Zhang Tinglan said, he realized that this is not a loan, it is clearly a poison, as long as you eat it, you will fall into the trap of Japan, life and death are beyond your control.

"Ting Lan, dad is so happy that you have this insight!"

"Father, you should persuade the seventh uncle to be cautious about loans from Japan. I think it's best to refuse directly!"

Zhang Zuoxiang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly, "It's not easy, Yuting is short of money now!"

"How much is missing? I have a solution!"
