"However, Commander Feng. Even if I try my best to deal with you, this matter might not succeed. If you have connections in Yanjing, you should do something about it. In this case, the chances of success would undoubtedly be much higher.”Zhang Xiluan reminded.
Feng Linge nodded,"Thank you for your guidance." After I go back, I will find someone to help.”
Feng Ping also made a decision to head to Beijing as soon as possible.
On the one hand, it was naturally because Feng Linge needed to find someone to help him take over as Fengtian Warlord. The Feng family didn't have any strong connections in Beijing. However, Feng Ping knew who to look for.
In history, after Zhang Xiluan left the Northeast, his successor was Yuan Datou's godson, Duan Xiangyan. He was also a money-grubber. Feng Ping believed that Duan Xiangyan wanted to become the Fengtian Military Governor and the Northeastern King because he wanted to scrape the ground in the northeast. However, he was eventually scared away by Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting.
This time, Feng Ping had taken the initiative to come to Duan Xiangyan's door and throw money at him. He was sure that he would be able to make Duan Xiangyan yield. If Duan Xiangyan had put in a good word for him in front of Big Head Yuan, this matter would not be a problem.
On the other hand, Feng Ping wanted to pay a visit to the US envoy in China.
In the northeast, the Japanese were the most powerful. Once Feng Linge became the Fengtian Warlord, if he didn't side with the Japanese, he would inevitably have a conflict with them.
Compared to the Dongying Empire, the Feng father and son were too weak. Without the support of a powerful external force, it was impossible for them to fight against the Dongying Empire.
The US was undoubtedly the best foreign aid.
After the Japanese defeated Mao Xiong, they posed a huge threat to the US 'interests in the Pacific Ocean. The battle between the two sides in the Pacific Ocean became more and more intense. The Americans would definitely not stand by and watch the Japanese dominate the Northeast. That would make the Japanese even stronger.
On the contrary, if the Feng father and son could resist the Japanese in the northeast and restrain a portion of the Japanese forces, the pressure on the US would undoubtedly be much less. With this as the foundation, it would not be a problem to obtain support and large loans from the United States to carry out industrial construction.
Both sides reached an agreement, and it could be said that both the host and the guest were happy.
Zhang Xiluan warmly invited the Feng father and son to stay for dinner. He even joked about marrying his granddaughter to Feng Ping. This made Feng Ping feel ashamed. Could it be that this old fellow saw that he was so generous that he even wanted to sell his granddaughter?
Feng Linge and Feng Ping's visit to Zhang Xiluan was no secret to Zhang Yuting, the local tyrant of Fengtian.
It could be said that Zhang Yuting already knew about Feng Linge and Feng Ping the moment they got off the train.
The Feng father and son visiting Zhang Xiluan at this time undoubtedly made Zhang Yuting feel a huge crisis.
Zhang Yuting immediately called his brother Zhang Fuchen over to discuss countermeasures.
"Seventh brother, from the looks of it, fifth brother doesn't intend to back down this time. Moreover, we have to act in advance." Zhang Fuchen's expression was solemn.
Feng Linge, Zhang Yuting, and Zhang Fuchen were sworn brothers.
The main warlords of the Feng faction were all sworn brothers. They were Ma Tengxi, Wu Xiufeng, Sun Zhanao, Zhang Xuwu, Feng Linge, Tang Gechen, Zhang Yuting, and Zhang Fuchen.
" Yes," Zhang Yuting nodded." Fifth Brother has the most experience and prestige among us." He naturally couldn't bear to see me climb over his head.”
When Zhang Yuting was a bandit, he had once worked under Feng Linge. This made it impossible for Feng Linge to be willing to submit to Zhang Yuting. It was also one of the main reasons why the two of them fought.
"Yes, Seventh Brother. However, now that the fifth brother and his son had gone to visit Zhang Xiluan, it was obvious that they were plotting to get a position under Zhang Xiluan's butt. We have no choice but to make plans.”Zhang Fuchen said.
"Humph! The position of Fengtian Warlord was not something that anyone could decide. Even Zhang Xiluan did not have that ability!”Zhang Yuting snorted coldly.
"However, if Zhang Xiluan supports Fifth Brother, we will not have the advantage. After all, Zhang Xiluan had great influence among the Northern Warlords. He and Big Head Yuan were sworn brothers.”Zhang Fuchen was very worried.
In this era, the warlords were very reckless. In order to win over allies, in-laws and sworn brothers were common.
"No matter what, I won't give up this position. I believe that it is more suitable for me to sit in this position than Fifth Brother. Only I can lead the Feng lineage to glory!”Zhang Yuting's eyes were filled with persistence.
Zhang Fuchen nodded repeatedly. He also agreed that Zhang Yuting was the best candidate for the leader of the Feng lineage. Compared to before, Feng Linge was too straightforward and honest. It was impossible for him to be a good leader.
"Assistant minister, go to the general's manor and invite fifth brother and his son over.”Zhang Yuting said.
"Okay, Seventh Brother, I'll go now." Zhang Fuchen immediately said.
However, just as he was about to leave, Zhang Yuting stopped him.
"Forget it, I'll go myself!" Zhang Yuting said.
" Seventh Brother, this..." Zhang Fuchen hesitated.
After all, Zhang Yuting and Feng Linge were both lieutenant generals. In fact, Zhang Yuting's status in Fengtian was even higher than Feng Linge's. It was just that Feng Linge was slightly more senior.
Zhang Yuting had personally invited Feng Linge. He was giving him too much face.
"After all, fifth brother is the elder brother. You even helped me back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today. However, this doesn't mean that I will back down this time. If fifth brother insists on fighting with me for this position, then we won't even be brothers anymore.”Zhang Yuting said firmly.
Zhang Fuchen nodded. He knew that things might end up like this. The Feng father and son's secret expansion in Liaoxi could not be hidden from Zhang Yuting. However, it was still unknown how many troops the Feng father and son had expanded.
However, Zhang Yuting was not afraid. His strength was already greater than Feng Linge's. Other than the 27th Infantry Division, there were also several temporary brigades under his command. His total strength was close to 50,000 people, and he was definitely the most powerful of the Fengxi warlords.
Outside the General's Mansion, the Feng father and son had just walked out when they saw Zhang Yuting and Zhang Fuchen waiting at the corner.
"Seventh brother, eighth brother, why are you here?”Feng Linge was not surprised.
"Seventh Uncle, Eighth Uncle, hello!" Feng Ping took the initiative to greet him, his attitude very humble.
"Fifth brother, why didn't you inform me that you were coming to Fengtian? This is Little Pingzi, right? They hadn't seen each other for a few years, and he had already become an adult. Xiao Liuzi often talks about it!" Zhang Yuting's face was full of smiles.
