Chapter 103: Five marshal candidates
There were many people at the station and noisy. In order to prevent accidents, everyone quickly left the station. Wang Maoru invited Zhang Zuolin to get on his car, and Zhang Xueliang was accompanying him. Zhang Zuolin seemed to be indifferent to his son who did not attend. He didn't say anything to Zhang Xueliang, but just nodded at him. Only then did Zhang Xueliang feel much more at ease.
The car arrived at the Ministry of National Defense, and then Wang Ke, the reception department of the Military Headquarters, held a welcome party for Zhang Zuolin.
At this time, Zhang Zuolin came to Beijing. His purpose was self-evident. It must be the delivery room to spread good news - he was about to be promoted! Everyone hurriedly congratulated and congratulated him, and the whole banquet was very happy.
The most important thing at the banquet was the inauguration ceremony. Zhang Zuolin officially accepted the appointment letter of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ministry of National Defense and served as deputy commander-in-chief with Jiang Fangzhen. It is reasonable for one commander and two deputy commanders to be a reasonable person. However, Zhang Zuolin, the deputy commander-in-chief, seemed to have nothing to do. Jiang Fangzhen was in charge of the work of the General Staff Headquarters. What did Zhang Zuolin do? But Zhang Zuolin didn't say anything. When others asked, they laughed and said that they had made arrangements. He had a good attitude and no one else asked.
During the day, Zhang Zuolin didn't say much about Zhang Xueliang's "family love" does not mean that he forgot about this matter at night. After stationing in the Six Kingdoms Hotel, Zhang Zuolin called Zhang Xueliang over, raised his hand and slapped him angrily, "Mom, Xiao Liuzi, have you grown your brain?"
The slap was too sudden. Zhang Xueliang didn't react at all, so he had to lower his head to bear it. A red "Five Finger Mountain" suddenly appeared on his handsome face, which immediately became swollen. The other guards and staff were also frightened. Looking at Zhang Zuolin, he remembered that Zhang Dashen, who usually smiled, was actually a bandit. He killed people without blinking. Only when he was angry did he feel his terror. Zhang Xueliang was stunned and covered his face and looked at his father stupidly. He was slapped in front of so many subordinates. He didn't know what he was doing or what to say.
Zhang Zuolin pointed to his head and said angrily: "Why did I ask you to come to Beijing? Ah? Why did you come? Are you here to find a prostitute? Mom is so slap, when is it time? You still play women and find a performer, but you can do it. Tomorrow, you will stay at home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!" In fact, the first men who acted in movies were actors in opera troupes, and female characters were initially female, but there were few women who performed operas, so everyone went to brothels to find prostitutes to act. So everyone knew about movie actors. The girls who pretended to be flawless in them had long been prostitutes who rode thousands of people on the road. Zhang Xueliang found such a woman and thought his father didn't care. In fact, Zhang Zuolin wanted to slap him as soon as he got off the plane, but because Wang Maoru didn't take action.
Zhang Xueliang quickly said, "Dad, I still have to go to work in the Ministry of National Defense..."
"Go to your mother's class!" Zhang Zuolin stared at his eyes and shouted, "She is so good to pretend to be garlic for me. The Ministry of National Defense is not more than you, but less than you, so stay at home with me. Adjutant. You go and ask him for leave tomorrow and then come back to supervise him. If he dares to leave this house, you will shoot him and kill him. If he really goes out, I will kill you."
"Yes." The adjutant said quickly, and Zhang Xueliang was also dumbfounded and dared not speak anymore.
The next day, Wang Maoru personally accompanied Zhang Zuolin to the new Ministry of Defense Building and family area of Fengtai District, and chose a spacious four-story villa for him on Hulunbuir Road, with the door number 7. The front and back yards of the villa are spacious and bright, with European architectural style. From now on, this place will be his home. Zhang Zuolin's wife and children live here without any crowding. But Zhang Zuolin felt a little awkward. He liked the courtyard-style structure of ancient China. This French building looked like a temple to him. After visiting, he said repeatedly: "It's a fucking slut, exactly the same as the old Maozi Temple I saw in the Northeast." Everyone laughed loudly.
But he was grateful for Wang Maoru's kindness, and at the same time he saw that Wang Maoru's home was not far away, and he consciously received attention. Zhang Zuolin asked who his neighbors were. Wang Maoru said that No. 6 was Wu Peifu's new home, No. 8 was an empty house. If you want to change No. 8, it is too late. Zhang Zuolin said that No. 8 looked more like a temple for the old men. No. 9 was Li Delin's home, and No. 10 was Mi Shaobai's home.
Next, Wang Maoru said that Brother Seven, you are the deputy commander of the National Defense Forces, so I will give you a task first, and this matter must be yours. Zhang Zuolin rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Wang Maoru said that he would follow Zhang Kui'an to negotiate with the Russians, and Brother Seven, you will serve as the head of the Soviet negotiating delegation to the Soviet Union."
Zhang Zuolin patted his bright head and shook his head, "It's not good. I don't know a few words. Can't I make a fool of myself like this? How can I mess with this?"
Wang Maoru said: "Brother Seven, you are not afraid of going up the sword mountain and falling into the sea of fire. This is just bargaining, and you must not retreat."
"I'm fucking fucked me, I'll do it." Zhang Zuolin slapped his head and said.
Zhang Zuolin's sudden appearance of the Soviet negotiating team leader during negotiations caused a lot of doubts from the Soviet Union. Who is this little bald man? He was very surprised when he learned that he was the new deputy commander of the National Defense Forces. What ability does this little man have to be the deputy commander? Why haven't he heard of it before?
Then the Soviet delegation inquired about Zhang Zuolin's story. He turned out to be a veterinarian, but later became the leader of the bandits, and then recruited the Qing army. When the Republic of China was established, the Qing Dynasty was protected. Seeing that the Qing Dynasty could not be saved, it turned into an anti-Qing warlord, and then became the governor of Fengtian. In the fight for the Northeast, Wang Maoru was defeated and forced to go to Suiyuan. Then, with the support of Wang Maoru, he occupied Shaanxi and became the king of the Northwest. When Wang Maoru unified China, Zhang Zuolin led the crowd to surrender and transformed into a front-line soldier who supported the reunification of the motherland. After serving as the commander of the army for three years, he has now been promoted to the position of deputy commander of the National Defense Forces.
This person is just a loach, so he can't help but be slim, and the Soviet representatives have defined him one after another.
Wang Maoru handed over the negotiations against the Soviet Union to Zhang Zuolin, a man who seemed rough but actually thoughtful, but also knew the ability and bottom line of Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin was a person who regarded the country as more important than life. Maybe he had no culture, but compared to those educated traitors, the bandit Lao Zhang was far more able to protect the foundation of his ancestors than them. There is no need to worry about handing over the negotiations to Lao Zhang. Moreover, Wang Maoru also felt that Lao Zhang's ability should not only give full play to Lao Zhang's banditry and give a new impact to the Soviet delegation.
Then, Wang Maoru began to prepare for the establishment of the National Defense Forces as the commander. The highest rank of the National Defense Forces is the rank of general. The rank of marshal should be the rank of honor. Moreover, there has been no marshal since the establishment of the National Defense Forces. Compared with the commander and the commander of the National Defense Forces during the Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui period, the marshal of the National Defense Forces is much more valuable and precious.
In fact, Wang Maoru had a rough idea in his mind, but he could not have the final say in the National Defense Forces. He should give other subordinates a suggestion, otherwise the subordinates would feel that they were useless and caused rebelliousness. So Wang Maoru formed a commander selection evaluation team, with members including Wang Maoru, Sa Zhenbing, Jiang Fangzhen, Yong Xingbao, Liu Guanxiong, Lu Rongting, Li Delin, He Rufei and others, and special consultants include Duan Qirui, Cao Kun, Li Yuanhong, Wang Shizhen, and Xu Shichang.
According to the requirements of the General Feng Zheng, it is necessary to open the territory to hunt down the territory, or to make great contributions to the country, Wang Maoru drafted a list, and the first batch of generals including five, namely Jiang Fangzhen, Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu, Liu Xiang, and Ren Yuanxing. The quota for general Feng Zheng was finally settled, and it was finally five. In terms of the number, these five people were definitely not many, thousands of generals, hundreds of thousands of officers, and millions of troops in the National Defense Forces, only five lists were really small. Look at the Beiyang Republic period, there were as many marshals as there were, and now, it was so difficult to have a marshal's place - but it was full of gold. It was no longer a grass-headed marshal who was ridiculed, but it was even more attractive.
Among these five candidates, Wang Maoru believes that their merits are undoubtedly enough to be promoted to the rank of marshal.
First, Jiang Fangzhen planned the national war and was the battle action planner. Moreover, when Wang Maoru was surrounded by his relationship, he helped Wang Maoru stabilize the army and was selfless. Wang Maoru thought that he should be appointed as the commander.
When Zhang Zuolin was in the northwest, he stabilized the four northwest provinces, Shaanxi, Suiyuan, Gansu and Ningxia, unified the northwest. At the same time, he supported Wang Maoru's national unification when the country was unified, and went south to act as a front pawn in the subsequent battles. If he was not appointed as the commander, wouldn't it disappoint the Northwest Army?
There is only one reason why Wu Peifu was appointed as the commander, that is, he was stationed in Mongolia and expanded one million square kilometers to the north, and truly annexed Lake Baikal halfway in China.
Liu Xiang's credit was actually done by his subordinate Lu Taoxiang. Lu Taoxiang's troops entered Tibet and completely re-incorporated Tibet into China's territory. Liu Xiang, as the leader of the Sichuan Army, chose to join the National Defense Forces to support unification.
The reason why Ren Yuanxing got Wang Maoru's title was the simplest. In several foreign wars, Ren Yuanxing led his troops to the front line and made outstanding contributions to the country. Especially the great victory of the Heart of Asia Battle, which further established his position as the number one general under Wang Maoru.
However, at the meeting of the selection and evaluation group of coaches, Jiang Fangzhen immediately blushed and picked up a red pen to hook his name. He said to Wang Maoru: "Baili is really grateful to Xiushuai for his support, but unfortunately I can't afford this heavy trust."
Wang Maoru said: "Deputy Commander Jiang is modest. He can build this foundation and make the greatest contribution. You should be the first person to be the commander. Zhang Zuolin is second, and Wu Peifu is again. In the future, Brother Baili will be in charge of the General Staff Headquarters. If he is not a commander, he may be unable to convince the public."
Jiang Fangzhen refused again and said, "Shishou is a mischievous praise. Today, Xiusheng, you have made the greatest contribution. If you are a general, you should be the first person, but why are you missing on the list?"
Wang Maoru said: "I am already at the top, and it will be unbearable to go upward."
Jiang Fangzhen said: "Xiusheng, if you don't call yourself handsome, it may be even more difficult to convince the public."
Chapter completed!
