After working in the Feng Army for a long time, one would know one thing about Zhang Yuting.
The marshal smiled. Life and death were hard to predict.
Especially during a meeting, the brighter the smile, the bigger the matter to say.
For example, in the early stages of the military training, Zhang Yuting laughed and shot a large number of officers.
"It's been quite some time since the army was reorganized, right? Not only did the combat strength of our Feng army not decrease, but it has also expanded to more than 200,000 people. If it weren't for Xiao Liuzi telling me, I would have thought that someone would throw beans into the army.”
Zhang Yuting was still smiling.
The main thing was that he was really happy.
The other party had killed a large number of people, and it was already good enough that there was no mutiny.
The Feng army was good. The more soldiers they had, the stronger their combat strength was.
"Isn't that necessary?" Tang Yulin touched his bald head." Back then, Fengtian had a financial deficit of 100 million yuan. Now that our family is rich, we naturally have more people.”
Thinking back to when he was adventuring with the marshal, he was really afraid of being poor.
A bullet was like a cannonball.
He didn't even dare to dream of such a rich life in the past.
"Fourth Brother is right. Even if our family is rich, if it were Old Feng in the Northwest, he wouldn't be able to support more than 200,000 troops even if he sold his wife and children.”
"But then again, when the business is big, we can't use the old method anymore. Otherwise, we'll still be chased and beaten up like before.”
At this point, Zhang Yuting pretended to stop smiling.
He straightened his back and glanced at Zhang Xueming who was beside him.
"At the very least, you have to obey military orders, right? Look at this little bastard. He won a battle and was praised by all of you. Everyone should know that he disobeyed orders and went north. It was no different from rebelling.”
"Originally, with his military achievements and ability, I wanted him to be the commander of the Second Army, but now forget it. At most, he will be a commander. If it weren't for the lack of high-level officers, would he have been appointed?”
As he spoke, he glared at Zhang Xueming.
It probably meant that he was disappointed that he did not live up to his expectations.
But who here wasn't a shrewd person?
Even if his fighting skills were average, his mind was more active than anyone else.
It was obvious that the marshal was putting on an act for others.
The commander of the Second Army?
Nonsense.
That was 80,000 people!
Handing it over to a young man who was not even twenty years old?
Zhang Yuting, who understood the ways of the world the most, would definitely not do it.
Therefore, the real purpose was to promote Zhang Xueming to be a commander. He also had to make it clear that this was a suppression after weighing the pros and cons, and definitely not a promotion.
To put it bluntly.
He was openly demoted and secretly promoted.
"Calm down, Marshal. My second nephew is also hot-blooded. So what if he's a commander? I believe Xi-qing will definitely be grateful for his kindness. Xi-qing, what are you still standing there for?”
Zhang Fuchen had chosen the best opportunity to be the sidekick.
Not only did he settle the matter, but he also gave Old Zhang a way out.
Old partners were indeed extraordinary.
Zhang Xueming was speechless.
If he was promoted, then so be it.
However, he still had to say what he had to say. Otherwise, he would be chased after and educated when he went home.
" Thank you, Father, thank you, thank you all, thank you all, thank you Fengtian Radio Station. I, Zhang Xiqing, will definitely change my face and turn over a new leaf. I will confess and be lenient-"
"Alright, alright, alright. It's good that you admit your mistake." Zhang Yuting saw that the second brother was talking about the door, so he quickly interrupted him.
Just this acting?
You're not like me at all.
Then, he gave Yang Yuting a look.
The latter understood and smiled.
"Congratulations, Xi Qing. From now on, you will be the commander of the new First Army. You will be in charge of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th divisions, as well as six mixed regiments including the 8th regiment.”
Just from the number of people, it was a solid reinforcement.
They had one more division than the other troops, and had a total of 30,000 men.
Hearing this, many of the generals of the Feng army drooled.
Everyone had heard of the new First Army.
It was called a new formation, but it was actually a sharp force formed from the elites of various units.
Whoever controlled the new First Army would have an unparalleled voice in the Feng Army faction.
For this commander, many people pulled in their relatives through their connections.
Who would have thought that Old Zhang had already decided on it internally?
However, no one present had any objections to this decision.
Guo Songling, who had always disliked the old Zhang family's way of doing things, secretly nodded.
Only Zhang Xiqing was qualified.
"Congratulations my ass, I just hope he doesn't make me angry. A brigade dared to go head to head with the Far Eastern Army. Now that there's an army, I'm afraid he'll come to the brigade one day.”
Zhang Yuting's worries were not unreasonable. He had really considered the possibility of this matter.
After all, the land that was cut off was like a thorn, and it was very uncomfortable.
Sooner or later, he wanted to recover all the concessions and lands in Luda and Guandong.
However, he had to do things step by step.
If he took too big a step, it was easy to pull his balls.
"The new First Army will be like this. As for the appointment of officers, I don't care. I'll leave it to Second Brother to worry about.”
"What I'm going to say next is the main point today.”
Everyone ridiculed in their hearts.
Too lazy to care?
How much power did a military officer have?
But why did it sound so normal coming from the marshal?
It's over, Yuting.
"Everyone, you haven't forgotten how you were chased out of the pass like dogs, right? Anyway, I haven't forgotten."
"Why are we organizing the army? It was to take revenge. He would fight back from where he was beaten down.”
The defeat did not last long.
Everyone knew that the marshal would not be able to swallow this anger and would fight back sooner or later.
He just didn't expect it to be so fast.
"I'll tell you the truth." Zhang Yuting pointed outside the window." Baldy Jiang from the south wants us to attack Old Duan together. We'll attack from the north and south."”
This news was kept very secret.
Other than a few people, no one knew.
Tang Yulin, who had the worst temper, widened his eyes.
"Marshal, it's not that I don't have the guts, but isn't our partner a little too demeaning? How can a salt seller who conquered a few provinces by being a grandson of a foreigner be qualified to cooperate with us?”
The words are rough, but the truth is not rough.
Don't look down on the seniors present because they were all horse bandits.
However, he also looked down on Baldy Jiang, whose knees were weak.
"Look at what Fourth Brother is saying. We are not from noble families. We only judge heroes based on our ability. Do you think it's that simple to treat us as grandchildren? He, Baldy Jiang, was a capable person. Don't kill him with one shot.”
It sounded like he was trying to smooth things over, but in fact, Old Zhang did not think much of Baldy Jiang.
"Besides, it's just cooperation, not marriage. Why not? Moreover, he promised that once the matter was done, they would use the Huai River as a boundary and not invade each other.”
"When the time comes, there will be so many governors, ministers, overseers, and so on. We'll have to choose from this house and prepare in advance.”
Once he heard that there were benefits, he wasn't sleepy anymore.
There were so many provinces and cities north of the Huai River. Just the capital alone had so many empty seats waiting to be filled.
"Fight!"
"We must fight!"
"What's wrong with selling salt? 'I like rice mixed with salt. Since the marshal has decided, I, Tang Yulin, won't say anything!'”
The speed at which his expression changed was terrifying.
The entire meeting room was filled with fighting spirit, wishing they could charge into the pass now.
Zhang Yuting was very satisfied with this and waved his hand.
"Everyone wants revenge, so it's settled.”
"On September 10th, the Feng Army will declare war on the Direct Army. Second Brother will lead the new First Army to clear the way for us.”
"I personally led 150,000 troops and followed closely behind, vowing to take revenge.”
"Leave the area outside the pass to Little Six. We must try to end the battle before winter!”
