"This is too much! Big Head Yuan was simply going too far! A little brat who is not even 22 years old and has not even grown his hair yet has actually been appointed as the Fengtian Governor and climbed over our heads. Was it because he was the son of Big Head Yuan? What Big Head Yuan did was simply too detestable!”
When he found out that Yuan Datou had appointed Yuan Kewen as the Fengtian Governor, Zhang Zuolin exploded in anger.
One had to know that he had always wanted to be the governor of Fengtian and even occupy the entire northeast to become the true king of the northeast.
His 27th Infantry Division was the strongest army in Fengtian.
In order to gain the support of Big Head Yuan, he had written secret letters to Big Head Yuan many times to express his loyalty to him.
Not only did Big Head Yuan accept his loyalty, but he also hinted many times that he would promote him.
In the end, this was the result.
Zhang Zuolin could not accept this.
"Teacher, Big Head Yuan is a capricious villain. He would rather let his son be the governor of Fengtian than support you.”Zhang Zuolin's number one trusted general, Sun Liecheng, said.
"Big Head Yuan's thinking is good. He wants to expand his sphere of influence to the northeast. He wasn't afraid of choking to death. However, it was not easy to be the governor of Fengtian. Not only us, but also Feng Delin, Zhang Shaozheng, and Lan Tianwei. There were also East Asians. Just based on the Yuan Family's Second Young Master's character? Could he really become the Fengtian Governor? It's simply wishful thinking!" Zhang Zuoxiang also had a look of disdain.
Zhang Zuolin and his subordinates were almost all from the Green Forest.
He naturally didn't put Yuan Kewen, this young master, in his eyes.
Zhang Zuolin nodded.
"Then, if we refuse Yuan Kewen to enter Fengtian, will we fall out with Yuan Datou? At that time, if the entire Beiyang comes to deal with us. Then I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for us to deal with it.”Zhang Zuolin was a little worried.
He knew his own limits. He knew that his own strength was not enough to fight against the Northern Army.
"Commander, although the Northern Army is very strong and Yuan Kewen is a fierce dragon that crosses the river, the Northern Army is very powerful. However, a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake. Besides, the Northern Army was confronting the Southern Cannon Gang. The main force of the Northern Army would also be deployed inside the pass. It's impossible for Big Head Yuan to concentrate all his strength on dealing with us.”Guo Songlin said.
"Yes, teacher. "Moreover, if Yuan Kewen wants to take over Fengtian, he will not only be our enemy, but also the enemy of all the factions in Fengtian. Whether it was Feng Delin, Zhang Shaozheng, or Lan Tianwei, none of them would agree. We can join forces with them to oppose Yuan Kewen's entry into Fengtian. In that case, our strength will be much stronger.”Minister Zhang suggested.
"This is a good idea. However, Feng Delin and Lan Tianwei would definitely not agree to Yuan Kewen taking over Fengtian. However, Zhang Shaozeng couldn't figure it out. He could be considered an old man in Beiyang. Perhaps he would give some face to Yuan Datou.”Zhang Zuolin was a little worried.
Feng Delin was Zhang Zuolin's old rival. In order to occupy Fengtian, the two of them had been fighting openly and secretly. They were sworn enemies.
Feng Delin had always looked down on Zhang Zuolin. One had to know that before Zhang Zuolin made a name for himself, he had followed Feng Delin.
Later, Zhang Zuolin climbed up the high branch of the governor of the three eastern provinces, Xi Liang, and gradually rose to power.
Naturally, Feng Delin was unwilling to let Zhang Zuolin suppress him.
As for Lan Tianwei, he was a member of the Cannon Gang. They were undoubtedly natural enemies with the Northern Army.
"Commander, although Zhang Shaozeng is an old man in Beiyang, he is still a young man. However, Yuan Kewen entering Fengtian would undoubtedly harm his personal interests. He definitely won't agree." Zhang Zuoxiang said.
Zhang Zuolin nodded.
In that case, they would have enough strength to fight against the Northern Army.
It would not even be a problem to defeat Yuan Kewen and take complete control of Fengtian and the entire northeast.
"Commander, Yuan Datou's ambitions might not only include Fengtian, but also the Ji Province and the Black Province. We can totally ally with Meng Enyuan and Bi Guifang. "In that case, our strength will be even stronger.”Zhang Zuoxiang suggested.
Zhang Zuolin thought about it and shook his head.
"Let's not talk about Meng Enyuan and Bi Guifang for now. Let's unite the forces of Fengtian first. If everyone agreed to join forces, they should be able to defeat Yuan Kewen. There was no need to involve Meng Enyuan and Bi Guifang.”Zhang Zuolin said.
In fact, he also had great ambitions for the two provinces.
If possible, he even wanted to swallow the other forces in Fengtian Province after defeating Yuan Kewen. Then, he would take down the Ji Province and the Hei Province.
This way, his territory would be able to expand to the entire three northeastern provinces.
And he was naturally the true Northeastern King.
"Commander, the East Asians have great influence in Fengtian and even the entire northeast. Can we contact the Japanese?”Zhang Jinghui suggested.
"That's right, teacher. If the East Asians are willing to support us, then forget about Yuan Kewen, even his father Yuan Datou wouldn't dare to do anything to us.”Zhang Zongpan suggested.
