At this time, Chen Zikun was busy beating up the drowned dog.
Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei were given to Yan Xishan, and Shandong was given to Feng Yuxiang.
If he didn't quickly get some weapons and prisoners, this trip would have been in vain.
Although Beijing had been liberated, Tianjin was still in the hands of Zhang Zongchang and Sun Chuanfang.
Tens of thousands of troops gathered near Tianjin and dug trenches in a gesture of protracted war.
People in the Tianjin Concession were panicked, and troops from various countries stationed in Tianjin were prepared to prepare for any eventuality.
At the end of May, the Fengjun army had completely retreated outside the pass, and was still setting up defenses along the Luanhe River to prevent the Nationalist Army from pursuing them.
Although Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu Army and Sun Chuanfang's Five-Province Allied Forces were under the banner of the Anguo Army, they were not direct relatives of the Fengjun Army.
Their territory is also within the pass, so they are unwilling to retreat.
They especially want to fight against the trapped beasts and hope for a miracle to happen.
A group of Beiyang bosses also began to go out, such as Qi Xieyuan, Wu Guangxin, etc., to bribe the remaining soldiers in an attempt to make a comeback.
The situation in Tianjin was in chaos.
Chen Zikun was also very busy.
He was originally from Beiyang and had friendship with Sun Chuanfang and Zhang Zongchang.
If this unique advantage was not used at this time, there would be no chance.
So the Jiangdong Army sent Chief of Staff Yan Su to contact the remnants of the Tianjin Anguo Army.
Discuss inclusion matters.
Yan Su returned from the enemy camp and brought two pieces of news.
One was that Sun Chuanfang did not want to fight anymore and Zhang Zongchang had not given up.
The other was news from Fengtian that Zhang Yushuai was assassinated and seriously injured.
Chen Zikun was shocked and asked if the news was reliable.
"Reliable."
Yan Su said, "The train was bombed when it passed Huanggutun, the intersection of the Beijing-Fenghuang-Nanman Railway.
The explosion happened to be in the special train carriage.
Zhang Zuolin was seriously injured and Wu Junsheng died on the spot.
The Fengtian faction made matters worse and was unable to enter the customs in the short term.
"That's why Sun Chuanfang is so desperate, and other generals are also panicking.
It's a great opportunity to attack at this time."
Chen Zikun said: "You should ask how Yu Shuai is injured."
Yan Su said: "It is said that the injury is quite serious, and the head is covered with bandages.
Doctors from the Shuai Mansion are constantly coming and going.
I don't know if I can survive it."
Chen Zikun sighed: "We have exhausted all the handsome men in the rain.
The Northeast is in danger.
The Young Master has always been the most dangerous.
I wonder how my sworn brother can withstand it.
There are Japanese inside and outside Yang Yuting.
It is really hard for him." " With emotion, he raised his troops and marched north.
At the same time, Fu Zuoyi, the Tianjin garrison commander appointed by Yan Xishan, also took the opportunity to lead his troops to approach.
Sun Zhang's army entrenched in Tianjin was forced to withdraw, and a large number of troops surrendered, including Sun's army and Jiangdong's army.
There was a tacit understanding, and most of them surrendered to Chen Zikun.
Outside the city of Tianjin, there are towering poplar trees and crisscrossed fields.
Sun Chuanfang, the powerful commander-in-chief of the five provinces in the past, was wearing a blue gown, with only two servants beside him, who were also dressed in casual clothes.
Standing opposite him was Chen Zikun in military uniform and sword.
"Kunwu, I'll leave the brothers to you.

Take more care of them, I can't take care of them anymore."
Sun Chuanfang cupped his hands, feeling indescribably desolate.
Chen Zikun ordered someone to bring a glass of wine, "Xin Shuai, after the country is unified, your position will be indispensable.
My brother is waiting for your arrival in Jiangdong."
Sun Chuanfang took the wine, drank it down, handed it over again, turned and left.
In this battle, Chen Zikun recruited 40,000 troops from Sun's army without hesitation, and carried countless supplies.
Among them was his old friend Wang Geng.
Poor this top student at West Point Military Academy, he became Sun Chuanfang's armored man after many hardships.
Commander Che, who was defeated this time, seemed to have no future.
Chen Zikun knew that he had divorced Lu Xiaoman a few years ago and was now alone and pitiful, so he gave him three thousand yuan and sent him to Shanghai.
The Jiangdong Army expanded rapidly, and the Ninety-ninth Army expanded by three temporary divisions, all of which were elite soldiers, as well as several armored vehicles.
Chen Zikun's strength greatly increased, but he suffered from the lack of formal establishment and unsustainable military pay.
On June 12, the Nanjing government announced that the Northern Expedition was completed.
On June 19, Fengtian announced the death of Zhang Zuolin, and his eldest son Zhang Xueliang succeeded Fengtian as the superintendent, and declared a truce with the customs Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yuxiang, Chen Zikun, etc. all called to express their condolences.
On July 6, the Northern Expeditionary Army generals and military and political dignitaries held a memorial ceremony for the victory of the Northern Expedition at Biyun Temple in Xiangshan, Beijing.
Chen Zikun also participated as a senior general and a bodyguard of the former Prime Minister.
During the ceremony, Chiang Kai-shek cried bitterly for a long time, remembering the former Prime Minister.
The emotion is beyond words.
Even though the north was at peace, the situation was still a mess.
Zhang Zongchang's remnant army retreated to the front line of Shanhaiguan and actually tried to take the risk to attack Fengtian.
Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek reached an agreement that Fengjun would be responsible for disarming Zhang Zongchang's troops.
As for the cause of Zhang Zuolin's death, the outside world is still unclear.
There are different opinions.
One says it was the Japanese who bombed the place, and the other says it was the Red Party.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows it was the Kwantung Army.
With the death of Zhang Zuolin, the last big boss in Beiyang was gone.
The issue of the ownership of the three northeastern provinces and Rehe became the focus.
All parties sent personnel to Fengtian to negotiate.
Chiang Kai-shek also invited Chen Zikun to Fengtian as his personal representative to lobby Zhang Xueliang to change his banner.
This time Chen Zikun did not readily agree, saying that many troops had recently been recruited and no one was afraid of them rebelling.
Chiang Kai-shek immediately promised to give him another army establishment and the military expenses would be borne by the central government.
Chen Zikun then agreed to go to Fengtian.
At this time, Zhilu's remnant army had been wiped out by Feng's army, and Zhang Zongchang himself was captured by Yang Yuting.
However, Yang Yuting released him, and Zhang Zongchang's line no longer existed.
The Beijing-Fengcheng Line was reopened to traffic, and Chen Zikun took the train to Fengtian.
It was late autumn, and the farther north the train went, the more desolate it became.
There were often large tracts of black land outside the train window, and it was impossible to see the end.
After traveling for a day, the train arrived at Huanggutun in the early morning. , Chen Zikun specially got up from the sleeper and put some paper money at the junction of the two carriages.
"Yushuai, I'm here to see you.
You deserve to die of old age."
Chen Zikun muttered silently.
After burning the paper money, he turned back and entered the carriage.
From the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a person standing behind him.
He was wearing a military uniform and a sword, and his hat and tassels were tall and fast.
Looking back, there was nothing.

The wheels and rails made rhythmic sounds.
Chen Zikun stood stunned for a moment, and the dark trees on both sides of the railway retreated like flying.
"Yu Shuai, your spirit in heaven protects Han Qing.
Don't let the Japanese lead you by the nose.
Change the flag and change the flag.
China will be unified.
Little Japan dare not use weapons rashly.
The Northeast still belongs to your old Zhang family.
How good.
You always say that this is not the case."
Reasonable."
Chen Zikun said to a ball of air for a long time.
In the morning, the car arrived at Fengtian Railway Station.
Chen Zikun, who was wearing a black cloak, got off the car in a cloud of steam.
His mind could not help but fly back to ten years ago, when he was a good little bandit in Changshan, wearing a bare old sheepskin jacket and a dog skin.
It was here that Hat, with a sharp blade in his arms, boarded the train to enter China and came to Beijing to start another journey in his life.
Fengtian Railway Station was bustling and lively.
Chen Zikun and his guards were walking out with the flow of people.
Suddenly he saw Sorghum Stalk and waved to him excitedly: "Commander Chen, this way."
Chen Zikun squeezed forward and wondered: "How do you know that I didn't mention the train number on the telegram when I arrived this morning?"
Gao Lianghuo said: "The supervisor sent me to pick you up.
How he knew it, I don't know."
The car stopped outside the station.
Gao Lianghuan personally helped Chen Zikun carry his luggage, got in the car and went straight to the Marshal's Mansion.
The Marshal's Mansion is located in Fengtian City, not far from the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty.
The front door is extremely bright.
There are two black iron doors to the east.
When entering, there is a large screen wall.
The guards have their arms wrapped in black gauze and stand with guns.
Chen Zikun was invited to serve tea in an Italian-style mansion in the east courtyard.
Gao Liangshuo went upstairs to invite Zhang Xueliang.
After a short time, Zhang Xueliang came down wearing pajamas and slippers.
He laughed and said: "Brother Kunwu, please come back."
It’s really you.
Last night, my dad told me in a dream that you were coming, so I asked Gao Liangshuo to guard you at the train station.
I didn’t expect that you would actually arrive today.”
"Han Qing, when I got on the bus and passed Huanggutun last night, I saw the old commander."
Chen Zikun said.
Zhang Xueliang was startled, then waved the servant to leave, his eye circles a little red: "Brother Kunwu, what did my father say?"
Chen Zikun shook his head.
There were two stuffed tigers in the living room.
Zhang Xueliang stomped back and forth a few steps, put his hand on the tiger's head and said: "The old man was killed by the Japanese.
He died in an aggrieved manner.
As a son, I am even more aggrieved." , watching the Japanese come to my door all day long and dangle in front of my eyes, talking nonsense, but unable to retaliate, it is really a waste of life, Brother Kunwu, do you know how ridiculous the Japanese are?"
Without waiting for an answer, Zhang Xueliang sneered and said: "They encouraged me to proclaim myself emperor and be the founding emperor of the Liao Dynasty.

What age are they in?
They still do this and treat me like a three-year-old child."
Chen Zikun said: "Han Qing, we are our own brothers.
Let me tell you directly.
I came to Fengtian this time to represent Chairman Chiang.
What do you think about unification?"
Zhang Xueliang yawned and seemed to be in bad spirits.
He had just gotten up and his energy was low.
Chen Zikun was really worried.
With Zhang Xueliang's physical strength and lazy temper, he was afraid that he would not be able to defend the country left by the old commander.
"Come here."
Zhang Xueliang greeted, and the servant brought a full set of smoking utensils.
After taking a few puffs of opium cigarettes, the young marshal felt better and said, "The Japanese threaten me not to compromise with Nanjing.
Otherwise , there will be a major event, and they will send troops to attack me.
Huh, I, Zhang Xueliang, am not scared.
The last thing the Japanese want to see is the reunification of China, so I will do it."
Seeing Zhang Xueliang's attitude, Chen Zikun felt relieved.
The trip to Fengtian was at least half successful.
"I heard that Tang Shengzhi and Bai Chongxi both sent representatives to Fengtian.
Have Han Qing seen them?"
Chen Zikun asked.
Zhang Xueliang looked confused: "I don't know."
Then he added: "Yang Yuting must have met with them without telling me.
This Yang Yuting has become less and less interested in me.
He has called me Adou in front of outsiders several times, which is really deceiving."
After Chen Zikun persuaded him for a while, Zhang Xueliang said: "Let's not talk about him anymore.
When you come to Fengtian this time, you can stay here for a while and play around.
I'll introduce my friends to you.
Sorghum stalks and call Master Liu." " The sorghum stalks were bumping and running, and soon a man was invited.
He was full of energy and walking as fast as flying.
It turned out to be Liu Zhensheng, the senior brother of Jingwuhui
