Volume 1 Turbulent Times Chapter 182 Imminent

Yang Yuting deserves to be a wise and profound name. His words are thoughtful and taken care of in all aspects. After the words are finished, Yang Yuting couldn't help but feel a little proud. He looked around and saw the rough men who suddenly realized it. He couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, thinking that he felt very good.

"That's all?" Zhang Zuolin looked up at Yang Yuting and asked faintly, his expression was not as happy as Yang Yuting had expected, nor was he laughing as he did in the play. He also said something like "Neighbor Ge Zhen is my nanny...". Seeing Zhang Zuolin's slightly frowning brows, Yang Yuting felt strange, and just nodded subconsciously and said, "That's all, the Grand Marshal."

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, who would have thought that Zhang Zuolin suddenly slapped heavily on the table, cursing: "You bastards! Who do you think of me, Zhang Zuolin? You guys are you just thinking of me, Zhang Zuolin? You are just brainless and just know how to fuck me, or you hide your head and tail like an eunuch without eggs. And you, Yang Linge, you are so capable, you even instigated me to make a lot of things in public? Mom, you bastard! They are all bastards!"

Zhang Zuolin suddenly became furious, which made everyone present frightened, and looked at each other so scared that they couldn't even say anything.

He reached out and slapped the table, and Zhang Zuolin shouted loudly and scolded: "As the saying goes, the matter of being a lord is loyal to the emperor, not to mention that it is the Republic of China, but the same is true for the Qing Dynasty. The most important thing in life is to be conscience and do things with sincerity! Not to mention the support of the support of the Imperial Scheme to me, Lao Zhang, I can't swallow this! In this situation, everyone does not tie up a rope to work together to the outside world, but instead looks forward to the forefront and find a way out before the fight? According to my opinion, even if this kind of war is not fought, it will be lost! What does war rely on when fighting? Not only weapons and command, but also morale, people's hearts and righteousness! Without these, even if you bastards are slaughtered again in the mountains as beards..."

Zhang Zuolin pointed at his nose and scolded everyone without hesitation, making their faces turn blue and red, especially Yang Yuting, who was smart, was so ashamed that he was about to hide his head in his pants.

"...If the Japanese don't come, it's fine. If they dare to come, my 27th Army of Lao Zhang is not a vegetarian!" Zhang Zuolin said this with a beard and stared at him, shouting: "Tell me the order! Each unit will prepare for all combat immediately. Once the Japanese army launches an attack on Fengtian, it will fight back to me immediately. Whoever fights well will be promoted to his official position. Whoever wants to fight badly, or has some intentions to preserve his strength. Hum, mom, I will slap his head off as a urinary!"

"yes!"

Everyone stood up quickly and responded loudly when they touched their heels. Then they didn't dare to look at Zhang Zuolin. They hurriedly left with the preparatory reason and rushed back to the army to prepare.

"Brother Seven, do you really want to fight this battle?" Zhang Zuoxiang was the last one to leave. He deliberately dragged him to see everyone away and then stepped forward and asked quietly.

"It is impossible not to fight. Lao Ba, do you think if you don't fight, the central government will let us go?" Zhang Zuolin lowered his voice and sighed softly, asking back.

"But once we really fight, can we stop the Japanese with our foundation?" Zhang Zuoxiang hesitated.

"I can't stop it, but the sky fell, aren't there still tall men going to support me?" Zhang Zuolin touched his beard and said with a slight gaze: "If all bastards like them fight with wishful thinking, let alone fighting with the Japanese, I'm afraid the Japanese will collapse if they put on a stance."

At this point, Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly realized and finally understood the real idea of ​​why Zhang Zuolin arranged this way. Although Zhang Zuolin had the intention to preserve his strength, as the commander, he would never allow the people below to have this idea. No matter how the situation in the future changes, the first thing now is to motivate morale and firmly control the army in his own hands. Moreover, the situation in Fengtian is now not only the local government, but also the central government and the whole country. At this moment, Zhang Zuolin would never put himself in a situation of "incompetence" and "flee without fighting". No matter what, he still has to fight. Not only that, he also has to fight well and beautifully.

Of course, Zhang Zuolin is not a fool. He will not really fight with his old foundation. He will fight to what extent the battle will be, and where his ability is to bear it. Zhang Zuolin knows clearly that only by exerting efforts first can he maintain his strength and territory. What is different from others is that he thinks far more deeply than anyone else. This is also his ability to get from a beard to his current status step by step.

After beating his subordinates, Zhang Zuolin's 27th Army temporarily gave up other ideas and began to prepare for war according to Zhang Zuolin's orders. At the same time, Zhang Zuolin did not give up his negotiations with Japan. Of course, during the negotiations, Zhang Zuolin also sent several telegrams to the Central Committee. On the one hand, he expressed his tough attitude towards Japan and repeatedly promised to protect the country in accordance with the central government's arrangements. On the other hand, Zhang Zuolin asked the Central Committee to further support arms, materials, etc. on the grounds that the 27th Army was initially established and the situation was tense, and allowed the 27th Army to expand some local escort regiments and other paramilitary troops to ensure the safety of Fengtian.

The central government approved these requirements one by one, and at the same time, it kept cheering Zhang Zuolin through the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff. It also mobilized several troops to station in Chengde. Once Fengtian could not resist it, Zhang Zuolin was allowed to act cheaply and provide support if necessary.

Sunday, October 8, 1916.

The Japanese Army officially started military exercises in Fukuoka and North Korea under the plan made by Oyama and Yuuhara. Because Emperor Taisho was rarely present in person, the scene was extremely grand. Although the Navy did not agree with the army's military plan, because Oyama Iron convinced the naval giant Hirahachiro Togo, and Emperor Taisho was pushed out by Oyama Iron and pulled out the tiger skin, no matter how much the Japanese Navy opposes, he can only cooperate with the army's actions and mobilizes half of the warships to join the "exercise".

The distance from Tokyo to Fukuoka is not close. Emperor Taisho, who has always been not very concerned about state affairs, was rarely excited this time. Along the way, Oyama Iwai accompanied him to inspect the army, and with interest, he looked around with his telescope, constantly inquiring about the situation of the army.

With a smile, Dashanyan felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. Maybe it was because of the food yesterday. However, in front of Emperor Taisho, he still suppressed his physical discomfort and patiently started explaining.

Originally, Oyama Is Is Is Emperor Taisho, the "mental ill patient", was just a formality at most. Who would have thought that Emperor Taisho today had a wrong nerve. He thought he was just a winner when watching on the platform, so he forced Oyama Is Yoko to ride a horse to inspect the troops at close range. This time, Oyama Is having trouble with him, and he could only endure the rebellious belly with the chrysanthemum and accompanied Emperor Taisho for a long time. When he got off the horse, his little face turned pale.

"I studied military affairs in the Imperial Kingdom, and I always wanted to have a strong army like the Imperial Kingdom. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and today my dream has finally come true. Thanks to my dear, the army is still full of interest." Back to Gaotai, Emperor Taisho was still in a state of interest. He talked about the past when he went to Germany to study as a prince. He didn't realize that Dashanyan's legs were almost twisted into pieces. His white face had gradually turned green, and beads of sweat were constantly falling on his forehead.

"This is all the achievements of Your Majesty. I am just doing my best to be loyal to Your Majesty..." Dashanyan squeezed and smiled aside with an ugly smile than crying, but he kept cursing the idiot Emperor in his stomach, why didn't he stop?

After half an hour, Emperor Taisho, who was rumbling with Oyama, finally felt a little tired. After respectfully sending Emperor Taisho away to the palace for rest, Oyama finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After holding it in for so long, just hold it in for a few more minutes. After Emperor Taisho called away, Oyama Iwai quickly called Uehara Yuzuo and asked him to act immediately according to the plan. After the major matter was explained, he could no longer help but grab his pants and run into the toilet. Before he could reach the place, he felt that the chrysanthemum suddenly loosened and a stench surged out of the pants.

On the afternoon of the same day, led by the Japanese army and half of the Japanese navy, the three divisions of the army set off from Fukuoka to North Korea and marched towards Kanto Prefecture through the Korean Peninsula. On the surface, this was a military exercise by Japan, but anyone with discerning eyes knew that this was simply a harbinger of Japan's war. After learning the news, the Chinese government immediately summoned the Japanese ambassador and raised a strong protest to the Japanese side. At the same time, Prime Minister Song Jiaoren urgently met with the British and French ambassadors, demanding that the members of the Allied countries join hands with the members of the Allied countries to warn Japan in the name of the Allied countries. If a war broke out between China and Japan, all consequences would be borne by the Japanese side.

The arrogant Japanese ambassador had long received domestic orders and ignored China's protests, saying that this was a normal military exercise by Japan and had no intention of targeting China. On the contrary, the Japanese ambassador also proposed the Fengtian incident, demanding that the Chinese government deal with and compensate the Fengtian incident as soon as possible in accordance with the Japanese requirements. The two sides had a verbal argument over this and finally parted in disagreement.

When Britain and France learned of the Japanese action, they agreed on the demands of the Chinese government on the surface, and on the same day, they proposed to Japan to limit the scope of military exercises to avoid stimulating the Chinese government. They also privately agreed to the Chinese government that they would continue to exert influence on Japan and do their best to keep the situation to a minimum extent to ensure the stability of the agreement.

That's right, but in fact, the promises of Britain and France are not reliable. They are all focused on Europe and they cannot draw any strength to face the changes in the Far East. Although no one wants to see friction between China and Japan within the agreement, they have no ability to stop them. Moreover, Japan is seeing this, and the verbally agreed to Britain, France and other countries, but their actions remain the same. The next day, hundreds of thousands of troops from three divisions of the Japanese Army crossed the strait with the support of the navy and landed in North Korea, with the front of the troops directly aimed at Fengtian.
