Fengxian Jiangshan

Duan Zhigui seemed to be a pious follower of Jun Xian. After meeting Zhang Zuolin, he began to talk about the benefits of making Yuan Shikai emperor, which made Lao Zhang and Zhang Tinglan drowsy.

Zhang Tinglan knew that the Hongxian Monarchy was a farce, but Zhang Zuolin's confidence was extremely inflated now. Originally, the 27th Division had a large number of personnel. If the Independent Brigade was pulled together, Lao Zhang would have as many troops as two divisions. , Lao Zhang has already set his sights on the entire three northeastern provinces.

If you can be the king of the Northeast, you may not be able to be the president in the future. This thought flashes in your head from time to time. In fact, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others oppose the monarchy for this reason. When Lao Yuan is the president, we also have hope. Lao Yuan becomes the emperor. , this world belongs to their family.

No matter what their thoughts were, the two of them didn't have a good opinion of Jun Xian, they just patiently watched Duan Zhigui's performance.Duan Zhigui talked for a while, then stopped, grabbed his teacup and took a few sips.

Moisten the throat, and then said: "Yuting, the president's ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor is inseparable from financial support. I think we, Fengtian, should take the lead in showing our loyalty and actively donating funds. The more donations, in the future when the heroes of the world are hungry, The more benefits you will get. We brothers hit it off in Beijing, and I have also seen Yuting's generosity. At this time, Yuting will not refuse!"

Lao Zhang cursed secretly in his heart, you godson should be a loyal minister and filial son, why bother me.

"General, Zuolin was born in a reckless family. To this day, it is all the gift of the President. I will never forget the kindness of the President. Don't ask for money, even if it is life, I will not frown."

"Well said, well said!" Duan Zhigui smiled happily: "How much can you give Yuting?"

Zhang Zuolin stretched out a finger, gritted his teeth and said, "10 yuan!"

Duan Zhigui's face changed at that time, it was only 10 yuan, isn't this a beggar!

"Yuting, you can't play tricks with me. You can take out hundreds of thousands of rubles in Beijing, but now you only take [-] oceans, which is too little!"

"General, you really wronged me. My family has already spent almost all of my belongings on a trip to Beijing. To be honest, those rubles are not my money, but I copied Shengyun and Shanqi. Guys, forced out their bank accounts, exchanged all their foreign deposits into rubles, and offered the rest of the rare treasures to the eldest son. This time, 10 yuan is the military salary of the 27th Division. Let the brothers Tighten your belt and show your loyalty to the President, if you are still not satisfied, I will add more."

"Don't!" Duan Zhigui hastily waved his hand to stop him, he is still not completely confused, these days the last ones to offend are the gang of Qiuba uncles, if they have no military pay and start a quarrel, Fengtian will be unstable.Before coming here, Lao Yuan also reminded Duan Zhigui that he must calm down the guns, so His Royal Highness didn't want to annoy the soldiers easily.

"Brothers, tie your heads to your belts and don't treat too badly. I think you should find a way elsewhere. Zhuo Yan, didn't you sign an order of 50 pounds with Sir Zhu Erdian, and you have a lot of money in your hands. I can’t donate a little yet!”

When Zhang Tinglan heard that His Royal Highness had turned his mind on her, she could only suppress her anger and said with a wry smile: "General, the money is not given to us for nothing, but the payment for goods. We need to give what the British need." Supplies, cans, cloth, wheat, etc. These are all military supplies, and the soldiers on the front line of the British army are waiting to use them. In order to prevent mistakes, the British have sent special personnel to supervise them. Withdraw whatever you want!"

Duan Zhigui's face immediately darkened, and he said contemptuously: "According to Zhuoyan, you can't earn much money, you good fortune boy is not worthy of your name!"

"General, it seems that we are indeed earning hard money, but this order is enough to make thousands of workers and tens of thousands of herdsmen earn money. They also need to buy necessities, eat, drink and have fun. Actually This order will drive the entire Fengtian economy, and all walks of life will benefit, and if it is all absorbed, it is not impossible to increase taxes by one million!"

Upon hearing the million-dollar tax, Duan Zhigui regained his spirits, and said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, what an honor it is to be bestowed by the president himself. Among the young people, you are No.1. Don't forget The great president's kindness, you have to find a way to pay for the great president's empire!"

Duan Zhigui only had money in his eyes, and Zhang Tinglan was full of boredom, no matter how much money he had, he would not give this one a penny.

"General, in order to generate tax revenue, there must be a production process, at least half a year!"

"It's too slow, too slow!" Duan Zhigui said impatiently: "The Preparatory Committee has been established, and the petition group has also risen. The President will be enthroned within this year. Why did we wait so long!"

Zhang Zuolin coughed and said, "General, we will not shirk responsibility, but we must give us a little time to think of a way, after all, it is not a small sum!"

Duan Zhigui was obviously a little dissatisfied. After arriving in Fengtian, everyone was crying for poverty, which made him very embarrassing as a dry Highness.

"Yuting, the President's enthronement is coming soon, you can't delay the important event, you must hurry up!"

Lao Zhang and Zhang Tinglan finally left the Governor's Mansion, and both of them were full of anger. Duan Zhigui simply fell into the eyes of money. He just came to Fengtian and asked for money so desperately. I don't know what will happen in the next days deal with it.

"Ting Lan, Duan Zhigui has his eyes on you, what can you do?"

Zhang Tinglan has also been thinking about how to deal with it. There are still about three months between Lao Yuan's proclaiming the emperor and Cai E's rebellion. During this time, it is really difficult to deal directly with Duan Zhigui.

"Seventh Lord, I can't afford to offend you, we can afford to hide, aren't you also the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression!"

"Well, that makes sense." Lao Zhang rolled his eyes and said, "I'll go and prepare for the suppression of the bandits, and also ask your father to pull up the independent brigade as soon as possible. During this time, we will all hide outside the city. If it still doesn't work, then leave Fengtian far away, and wait until the opportunity arises to deal with His Royal Highness!"

Zhang Tinglan frowned, and said worriedly: "Seventh Lord, don't think we can hide, but there are still things we can't hide, such as the North Market, we have invested so much money, Duan Zhigui will pay attention to it sooner or later! Besides, look at Duan Zhigui If you have a posture, you must be able to dig three feet and search for land, Fengtian is our base camp, if we are messed up by him, it will be troublesome for us to clean up."

Old Zhang's face also darkened, he also thought of this, and clenched his fists: "Hmph, if Duan Zhigui wants to make a fuss, let's play with him. I want him to know that Fengtian's surname is Zhang, not Duan!"

After Lao Zhang returned to the mansion, he immediately summoned his subordinates and asked them to reorganize their armaments and prepare to go out of the city to suppress bandits at any time.Zhang Zuoxiang officially took over the independent brigade, and then began to recruit troops and rectify the old army.

Under the banner of suppressing bandits, Lao Zhang avoided Duan Zhigui, but other Fengtian officials didn't have the guts to obey Duan Zhigui's orders.

His Highness Gan is also a vigorous and hard-working faction. On the second day, he officially announced the establishment of a petition group from all walks of life in Fengtian, mobilizing the people to take to the streets to petition for Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor. Fengtian soon became lively, and petition groups from all walks of life were formed one after another. .

"Abolish the republic, long live the constitution!"

"The president proclaims himself emperor, and the world is peaceful!"

"Long live the great president, long live, long live!"

Zhang Tinglan was drinking tea and nibbling melon seeds in the teahouse, when there were bursts of slogans on the street, looking down, there was a dense crowd of people, shouting various slogans, just passing by here.At this time, the stairs sounded, and Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Tingshu ran up. They both knew Zhang Tinglan's habits, so it was easy to find Zhang Tinglan

Zhang Xueliang sat down opposite Zhang Tinglan, and said angrily: "Brother Tinglan, the past is the student petition group of Fengtian Middle School. These days, many teachers have warned us not to join the petition group or become national sinners. As a result, none of the teachers came to school this morning."

"Isn't that great? Didn't they not participate in the parade?"

"What the hell! When the students arrived at the school, the teacher wasn't there. Duan Zhigui sent someone to ask the students to take to the streets to demonstrate. Many students stood up to oppose it. As a result, a total of more than a dozen people were beaten. In the end, everyone I want to go to the streets to parade honestly, but I heard that those teachers have all gone to the dance hall of the Mantie Japanese to have a good time, maybe they are writing something big again!"

Ever since he went to Beijing with Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Xueliang has also awakened from his previous blind worship of those literati. These guys are indeed the most unreliable.They were able to hide, but the students couldn't hide. The teacher told the students to fight and uphold justice, but they ran away at the critical moment, leaving the students to be beaten.

"Hanqing, what's so strange about this is that literati have been like this since ancient times. Have you read "The Tombstone of Five People"? They hide behind, fan the flames, and encourage others to sacrifice. If they succeed, they have inspired others. If someone Unfortunately, they were beaten to death, and it is a great favor for them to write an article to commemorate it. These people will never rush to the front line, it is too dangerous, and they are not stupid!"

"Hey, these people who play with pens have a lot of minds, but if Duan Zhigui keeps tossing around like this, Fengtian will be upside down sooner or later."

As if to verify Zhang Xueliang's words, another group of petitioners passed by below, this time it was a petitioner group of prostitutes. These girls were all gorgeous, shouting slogans limply, and at the same time did not forget to scratch their heads and pose, attracting bees and butterflies, making the streets smoky of.

"I'm not afraid that he won't make trouble, but I'm afraid that he won't be violent enough. If he doesn't make trouble, he will die! I think we should give this highness a little more fire to make him more energetic!"

While talking, the stairs rang again, and a beggar Hanako came up, holding a pair of beef bone boards in his hands, and kept beating, singing while beating: "Big teahouse, open in front of the street. Business is booming." It's really not bad, there are many teahouses, it's really lively, the guests come and go, and they have foreign money in their pockets..."

Zhang Tinglan also saw this beggar who played tricks, and a thought flashed in his heart, and he had an idea.
