After the military meeting, the subordinates left.
Major General Yan Su, chief of staff, stayed to discuss countermeasures with Chen Zikun.
They were old partners, so there was no need to mince words.
Chen Zikun's expression was not as high-spirited and confident as before.
But with a slightly sad look.
"The situation is getting worse and worse.
Duan Qirui ordered the removal of Qi Xieyuan from the post of Jiangsu military governor.
It will only be a matter of time before the Feng army goes south.
What good strategy does Brother Xiao'an have?"
Chen Zikun said worriedly.
Yan Su said: "Qi Xieyuan will definitely not wait to die.
The Feng army is moving south with great momentum.
Shandong and Jiangsu will definitely not be able to satisfy their appetite.
Jiangdong, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei and other provinces are all in danger.
If one person can unify the armies of these provinces, If you take command, you may be able to compete with Fengjun."
Chen Zikun understood.
The immediate situation was a mess, but everyone had their eyes set higher than the others and refused to be content with others.
If Wu Peifu could carry this banner, it would be okay, but after Yushuai's army was defeated in Tanggu, the country was in decline, and there were only a hundred guards left.
No one paid any attention to him.
This battle was unwinnable.
With a long sigh, Chen Zikun said: "Is it possible that Jiangdong Province has to be handed over to others?"
Yan Su said: "Shuai Kun is brave and good at fighting, and has a great reputation.
Fengjun is also afraid of him.
If my estimate is correct, Marshal Zhang may have secret envoys arriving in the past few days."
Chen Zikun said: "Fengjun wants to defeat them one by one."
Yan Su said: "If Zhang Xueliang really extends an olive branch, which side will Kun Shuai plan to help?"
Chen Zikun said: "I will help whoever wins."
Yan Su was stunned.
Although this was true, it was too straightforward.
Chen Zikun added: "Fengjun really has the ability to unify China.
Even if Zhang Zuolin becomes the emperor, I will support it.
The people can't stand the trouble.
In the past few months, nearly five million yuan has been spent on military expenditures to build factories and build railways.
How much can be done, fight back and forth, all the money is spent, and all the people are dead.
The one who suffers is China, and the one who takes advantage is the foreign companies selling arms. " Yan Su said: "It would be great if every soldier in the world thought like Commander Kun."
At noon, Chen Zikun met with Ruan Mingchuan, a reporter from Beijing, and asked him about the situation in the north.
These days, reporters are all well-informed and have the most abundant and detailed information.
Talking about the chaos in the capital, Ruan Mingchuan, who is already a senior reporter, sighed: "We have failed in our efforts."
Chen Zikun said: "Shuai Yu was indeed unjustly defeated.
If Feng Huanzhang hadn't stabbed him in the back, he wouldn't have lost everything."
Ruan Mingchuan said: "I'm not talking about Wu Peifu, but Feng Yuxiang.
He really fell short.
He was the first to launch the coup, but he took the lead in making wedding clothes for others and gained nothing."
Chen Zikun said: "How do you say this?"
Ruan Mingchuan said: "In the final analysis, Feng Yuxiang still does not have the prestige and qualifications, and cannot control the situation at all.

He asked Duan Qirui to take charge of the overall situation, hoping to use Duan Hefei's prestige to support him, but who is Duan Qirui?
, is he a puppet manipulated by Feng Yuxiang?
After taking office as interim leader, he immediately dismissed the Huang Yong cabinet and replaced him with an old man from the Anhui clan.
Feng Yuxiang suffered a miserable loss. " "There is also Zhang Zuolin, that is, a bandit with no faith at all.
When Feng Yuxiang defected, he had an agreement with him.
Fengjun refused to enter the pass.
What happened?
Before the ink was dry, Fengjun entered Shanhaiguan and stationed troops on the Tianjin line.
The Tigers from Shandong may move south at any time.
Feng Yuxiang's National Army simply does not dare to fight against them," Ruan Mingchuan said heartbrokenly.
Chen Zikun said: "Brother Ruan seems to be quite aggrieved by Feng Huanzhang."
Ruan Mingchuan said: "I have been a reporter for so long, and I have studied a lot of these warlords and warriors.
After all, Feng Yuxiang is a true hero with ideals.
It can be seen from one thing that this is a secret.
I will only tell you, Kun Shuai Don’t spread the word.”
Seeing his mysterious look, Chen Zikun immediately became interested: "You tell me, I will never leak anything."
Ruan Mingchuan lowered his voice and said, "I heard that a group of generals from the National Army wanted to kill Zhang Zuolin and his son when they entered Beijing."
Chen Zikun was shocked.
Only two people could do such a thing.
One was Feng Yuxiang and the other was Xu Shuzheng.
These two were ruthless and unscrupulous people.
If Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Xueliang and his son were really killed, the Fengjun army would be leaderless.
For Feng Yuxiang, It is indeed a good thing, but for the people, it is simply a disaster.
Ruan Mingchuan continued: "The Zhang family and his son brought only one battalion of guards to the Prince's Mansion in Shunchengqun, Beijing.
This was an excellent opportunity to make a move, but Commander-in-Chief Feng gave up.
He said that if the Zhang family and his son were killed, the Northeast would be destroyed.
He would not fall into the hands of the Japanese and be a sinner for all eternity.
He would rather go into exile himself.
Therefore, I admire Feng Huanzhang very much
.
"
Chen Zikun said: "As you said, Feng Huanzhang was indeed a hero who served the country and the people, but it may not be true that he went to the countryside.
I guess he was retreating in order to advance, forcing Duan Qirui to choose between the National Army and the Fengjun ” Ruan Mingchuan said: "Feng Yuxiang has called Guangdong and invited Mr.
Sun Yat-sen to take charge of the overall situation in Beijing.
The Kuomintang and Anhui factions are originally an iron triangle.
Let's see if they can form a coalition government this time.
If Sun Wen goes north smoothly, I think the situation will get worse.
The better."
Chen Zikun nodded and said, "I hope so."
Just after talking to Ruan Mingchuan, the adjutant came to report that a messenger from the Fengjun Army had arrived.
Chen Zikun asked him to hurry up.
It was Zhang Xueliang's personal representative who came and gave Chen Zikun two fine women's mink coats and a thousand-year-old mountain cord.
Please also attach a handwritten letter, reminiscing about the past and talking about world affairs, which are just general remarks.
But Fengjun's intention was very clear.
He wanted to make peace with Jiangdong.

Chen Zikun also wrote a letter and prepared a generous gift and asked an envoy to take it back to Beijing.
The two sides had established a communication channel.
After seeing off the Fengjun envoy, the adjutant brought in a large pile of documents for Chen Zikun to sign.
Some were about appointing officials, some were withdrawing funds, and some were reimbursing military expenses.
There were so many kinds of documents that it was dizzying.
Chen Zikun took a pen and read the documents at a glance.
And he made instructions on it, his signature was strong enough to see through the back of the paper, the instructions were clear and clear, and the document was approved in a short time.
"Is there anything else?"
Chen Zikun asked.
Deputy Director Zhao Yufeng was stunned with shock: "I heard them say that Sun Kaiqin only approved ten documents a day in the past, but you, Marshal, approved two months of backlogged documents in one go.
This efficiency is so awesome."
Chen Zikun said: "It's not that I'm awesome, it's that Sun Kaiqin's efficiency is too low.
Being an official is the easiest thing.
He can't do it well.
No wonder he lost his territory."
Zhao Yufeng picked up the official document and walked out.
He accidentally dropped a copy.
It was a document from Duan Haixiang's department applying for an increase in military pay.
Chen Zikun approved a line on it: Forward to Chief of Staff Yan.
"Commander, no wonder you are so fast."
Zhao Yufeng suddenly realized.
Chen Zikun said: "Do I need to give instructions on such specific matters?
Just let Chief of Staff Yan take care of the military affairs, and leave the political aspects to Governor Liu.
He has been a rubber stamp for so many years, so it's time for him to do something practical."
Zhao Yufeng exclaimed: "You are really willing to delegate power."
Chen Zikun said: "You don't understand.
There are some things that you can't hold on to.
It's better to let go and things may not be bad.
Okay, it's getting late.
There are big things tomorrow.
I'm going to rest.
There's a big chance.
Don’t bother with anything.”
After saying that, they returned to the back house.
Now Yao Yilei and Jian Bing have come to live in the provincial capital.
They are reunited as husband and wife, and they often spend time with each other.
Yao Yilei half-jokingly asked Chen Zikun if he had been messing around outside during this time.
Chen Zikun said categorically no, but in his heart I'm feeling weak.
Is this woman's sixth sense so sensitive?
The next day, the founding ceremony of the East China Anti-Smoking Committee was held at the Provincial Grand Theater.
Celebrities, gentry, and officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces all attended the event, and many of them served as honorary vice presidents of the committee.
In order to subsidize the anti-smoking committee, In response to the losses suffered by post-miao farmers, Chen Zikun initiated a donation and donated his one-year salary.
The Marshal's wife also donated several pieces of gold jewelry.
Chen Dashuai and his wife have set an example.
How can others lag behind?

The number of gentry present ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds.
They donated 100,000 yuan in one morning.
Although there was still a long way to go before the expected goal, Chen Zikun was very satisfied. .
"Jiangdong elders support the cause of the anti-smoking ban.
Zikun expresses his gratitude to everyone on behalf of the executive committee of the anti-smoking committee."
Chen Zikun stood up and saluted, then stepped down and shook hands with the distinguished gentry in front of him one by one, speaking warmly to comfort him.
Suddenly, a man broke into the auditorium and shouted loudly Said: "I'm late" Chen Zikun took a closer look and saw that it was General Manager Gong of Huijin Bank.
He immediately smiled and said, "Brother Jia Xiang came just in time."
Gong Jiaxiang stepped forward quickly, held Chen Zikun's hand tightly, and said with excitement: "You will live up to me, and I will live up to you."
Chen Zikun knew that he was talking about the smoking ban and the acceptance of military tickets.
These were things he had promised him.
Now that these two major issues had been successfully resolved, no wonder Gong Jiaxiang was so excited.
Gong Jiaxiang took out a check from his pocket and handed it to the emcee.
The emcee adjusted his glasses, his hands trembling, and said loudly: "General Manager Gong donated two hundred thousand yuan."
With thunderous applause from the audience, Chen Zikun and Gong Jiaxiang went on stage to speak.
General Manager Gong gave a eloquent speech, praising Chen Zikun.
Chen Zikun also took advantage of the situation to announce that he had invited Gong Jiaxiang to be the honorary chairman of the anti-smoking committee.
Gong Jiaxiang is a banker and a member of Congress.
He was already quite famous in the provincial capital, but this time he stole the show and his reputation was at its peak.
The anti-smoking committee is coming with force, and the first to bear the brunt are opium dens all over the province.
Inspecting anti-smoking dens is no more than shoveling poppy seedlings.
The interests involved are too wide, and it is even more difficult for hundreds of thousands of smokers to give up their addiction in a short time.
But this is not the case.
Chen Zikun is worried about how to implement a smoking ban in Shanghai.
Ordinarily, the Jiangdong Governor had no control over Shanghai affairs, but Chen Zikun proclaimed himself the title of Secretary-General of the Anti-Smoking Committee and Chairman of the Executive Committee, and shoveled 20,000 acres of opium grown at home, gaining great prestige.
Many newspapers reported on his glorious deeds, and he suddenly took the moral high ground, and the ban on opium in Shanghai became justifiable.
Chen Zikun mobilized 500 capable soldiers from the special service group stationed in Wusongkou, put on black police uniforms, and painted the helmets white.
They wore an armband with the words "No Smoking" printed on it, and declared to the outside world that "No Smoking Enforcement" The committee was directly affiliated with the Law Enforcement Rangers Brigade.
"This prevented the soldiers from harassing the citizens.
After the change of uniforms, the opium ban was officially started.
Eighty percent of Shanghai's opium was imported through waterways.
The law enforcement team took a speedboat to seize opium in the Wusongkou waters and seized two tons of opium in one day.
It is worth mentioning that these two tons of opium were purchased by Sanxin Company
