Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is a great joy in life, but Liu Zhensheng did not show any surprise.
He first paid his respects to the young marshal and then said calmly: "When did fifth junior brother arrive?"
Chen Zikun said: "I just arrived in the morning.
After eight years of separation, I never expected to meet my senior brother here."
Zhang Xueliang smiled and said: "I knew you must know each other.
Master Liu was invited by my father to be the instructor.
We brothers all learned Chinese martial arts from him.
Why don't you let Master Liu accompany you around these few days and reminisce about old times?"
” Chen Zikun was about to say yes, but Liu Zhensheng said: "Commander-in-Chief, I am about to resign and return to my hometown.
I hope you will agree."
Zhang Xueliang was stunned: "Master Liu, where do you start talking about this?
Could it be that the people below are treating you lightly?"
Liu Zhensheng said: "I came to the Northeast to spread the spirit of Jingwu.
Thanks to the old commander, he looked up to me and was hired as the instructor of the commander's mansion with a high salary.
Now that the old commander has traveled westward, the young masters have also mastered the national martial arts.
It's time for me to leave.
Don't miss me.
Stay, see you later.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhang Xueliang knew his temper and knew that he couldn't keep him.
He quickly asked the sorghum stalks to be sealed with a thousand oceans as a ritual, and sighed: "Master Liu is really a master of the world.
That's all.
I will take you there."
Meet an acquaintance."
Then he took Chen Zikun to a place in the west courtyard.
There was a wooden sign "Sun Lianjun's Office" hanging outside a house, which turned out to be Sun Chuanfang's residence and office.
It was pity that the five provinces Lianjun who was once famous in the past only had one room to live in today.
Sun Chuanfang was reading official documents in the room.
When he saw Chen Zikun coming to visit, he hurriedly greeted him.
When he talked about the situation, he couldn't help but sigh again.
However, it could be heard from Sun's words that he was opposed to the change of flag in Northeast China.
Then he took his leave.
On this day, Zhang Xueliang personally accompanied Chen Zikun around Fengtian City, visited the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty, inspected the Fengtian Arsenal and Peking University Camp, as well as Northeastern University run by Zhang and his son.
Chen Zikun was quite touched by this trip.
Fengtian was too powerful.
It has both soft and hard skills.
Wu has an arsenal, Wen has an arsenal cultivated by himself, and there is also vast black land and extremely rich natural resources.
Looking at his own Jiangdong Province, it is simply poor.
In the evening, Zhang Xueliang hosted a banquet for Chen Zikun, and his wife Yu Fengzhi accompanied him.
After the banquet, there was a card game as usual.
Chen Zikun risked his life to accompany the gentleman and played for a full night.
They broke up and went to sleep in the early morning.
Chen Zikun stayed in the guest room on the second floor of the brothel building in Shuaifu, and slept in a daze until the morning.
Suddenly he heard a noise, the sound of stepping up the stairs, and the low-pitched advice of the guard, and then a loud voice sounded: "Young Master Handsome, I'm Yang Yuting, get up, I have business."
After waiting for a while without opening the door, Yang Yuting actually started to kick the door.

The guards did not dare to stop him.
Chen Zikun opened a crack in the door and peeked quietly to see how Zhang Xueliang responded.
Zhang Xueliang came out in his pajamas, and Yang Yuting pointed at his nose and cursed: "The old commander was not like this when he was alive, you bastard, how can you do things in the Northeast if you are like this?"
Zhang Xueliang immediately said: "I can't do it, you can do it."
Yang Yuting was stunned for a moment, and his tone softened slightly: "Young Marshal, my loyalty to your old Zhang family can be learned from time to time.
How can I explain to the Marshal who is so decadent like you?"
Zhang Xueliang also calmed down his anger and said, "What's the point of being so anxious?"
Yang Yuting said: "I heard that Chiang Kai-shek's envoys are coming from the south.
Why didn't you inform me?"
Zhang Xueliang asked back: "I also heard that Tang Shengzhi and Bai Chongxi from the south sent envoys.
Why didn't you inform me, the commander-in-chief of the security of the three eastern provinces?"
Yang Yuting said: "I can handle these matters.
Anyway, you can't come up with an idea.
Please ask Chiang Kai-shek's representatives to come to my office later."
After saying that, he walked away.
After Yang Yuting left, Chen Zikun came out to ask.
Zhang Xueliang said with a normal expression: "Ling Ge has such a temper.
He was spoiled when the old commander was here.
However, the military and political affairs in the Northeast cannot be done without him.
Brother Kunwu laughed. ” Chen Zikun said: "Then should I go to see him?"
Zhang Xueliang said: "No, you continue to play your game.
Yang Yuting is not the leader of the Northeast.
What will he do?"
Chen Zikun came to Fengtian as Chiang Kai-shek's personal representative.
On the surface, he was promoting unification and changing the banner.
In fact, he was trying to win over Zhang Xueliang and submit to the Nanjing government.
You must know that the National Government is not a monolith.
Wang Jingwei, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, and Yan Xishan are all in their own system. , the Feng clique is very powerful, whichever side he leans towards will win, so this is his first priority.
Inquiring into the situation privately, I learned that among the group of Tuogu ministers left by the old commander, only Yang Yuting was opposed to unification.
He and Sun Chuanfang had the same opinion.
They still wanted to maintain the separatist situation in the Northeast and were waiting for an opportunity to enter Shanhaiguan again.
Usually to Zhang Xueliang He is bossy and bossy, and everyone in front and behind is either Adou or young marshal.
The word marshal is what Zhang Xueliang hates the most.
His patience with Yang Yuting is to the limit, but after all, he is young and has just inherited the throne.
He is still not brave enough to do anything to Yang Yuting. .
In the months at the end of 1928, all parties were working hard.
Chiang Kai-shek sent Zhang Qun to visit Prime Minister Tanaka in Tokyo, Japan, and promised to maintain the status quo in Northeast China and not harm Japanese interests; Britain and the United States issued a statement that Manchuria was Chinese territory and denied Japan's special status in Northeast China.
Zhang Xueliang also sent representatives to Japan to congratulate the emperor on his coronation, and continued to discuss changing the flag.
Finally, he gained Japan's understanding and no longer objected.
On December 29, Zhang Xueliang electrified the whole country in Fengtian, and the three Northeastern provinces and Rehe changed their flags.
On the same day, the Northeastern flag-changing ceremony was held at the Fengtian Provincial Auditorium.
The five-color flags of red, yellow, blue, white and black were slowly lowered, replaced by a bright blue sky and white sun. flag.
At the same moment, the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag is rising all over Fengtian Province, in Jilin, in Heilongjiang, in Rehe, in every city, every military camp, and every school in the Baishan and Heishui areas of Northeast China.
The Republic of China finally declared its unification after eighteen years of war.
As a representative of the National Government, Chen Zikun attended the ceremony.

Looking at the national flag rising, he stroked his long beard, which was already quite ancient, and said to himself: "Beards, beards, they started in the 530s, and today they are finally It’s ready to be cut.”
After the ceremony was completed, Chen Zikun returned to the commander's residence and asked the barber to cut his beard.
The barber said regretfully: "It's a shame to shave such a long beard."
After cutting off his beard and shaving his face, he changed out of his gown and put on a suit.
When he arrived at the brothel, Yu Fengzhi and a group of ladies who were playing cards all had their eyes lit up.
He was such a handsome boy.
Two days later, the Nationalist Government issued an order to reorganize Fengjun into the Northeast Frontier Defense Force of the National Revolutionary Army, and appointed Zhang Xueliang as the commander of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.
As Chen Zikun said, it was just a change of banner, and the three northeastern provinces were still the territory of the old Zhang family. .
After New Year's Day in 1929, Chen Zikun bid farewell to Zhang Xueliang after completing his mission, but was tried hard to persuade him to stay.
Yu Fengzhi also said that he had recently acquired some mink furs and was sewing coats and shawls.
When they were ready, he brought them back to the two ladies.
He was considered a Han official.
Chen Zikun had no choice but to wait a few more days for Qing's gift.
Two days later, Yang Yuting's mother celebrated her birthday.
Zhang Xueliang and his wife attended the event.
They were all smiles when they went, but they were unhappy when they came back.
The couple was quarreling in the room, and even Chen Zikun could hear the sound.
I only heard Yu Fengzhi say: "Look at you, how do you look like the master of Northeast China?
Yang Yuting is the real master of Northeast China.
Does he still have you as the commander-in-chief in his eyes?"
Chen Zikun had lived in Daqinglou for a long time and was very familiar with Zhang and his wife, so he went over to persuade them.
He saw Zhang Xueliang lowering his head and smoking, and Yu Fengzhi's eyes were red, and he must be extremely angry.
"Zi Kun, you came just in time, please comment.
Today we went to Yang Mansion to celebrate his birthday.
As soon as Han Qing entered, the room was full of people playing cards and chatting.
They didn't take it seriously at all.
After a while After a while, I called Supervisor Yang outside, but no one in the whole living room dared to say anything.
They all stood up to greet him.
If this continues, sooner or later the old Zhang family will no longer have the surname Yang. " Chen Zikun persuaded her not to feel any pain and went back to his bedroom, thinking that Yang Yuting was seeking his own death.
A few days later, gifts such as mink coats and wild ginseng were all ready.
In a month's time it would be the Lunar New Year.
Chen Zikun once again asked Zhang Xueliang to resign.
This time Zhang Xueliang did not force him to stay, and said with emotion: "Brother Kunwu. , We brothers are so far apart from each other in the future, it’s not easy to meet each other.
I heard that you can fly a plane, so you can teach me how to do it when you have time.
When I want to see you, I just fly there. " While they were chatting, the adjutant came to report that Supervisor Yang and Governor Chang were here and were already waiting in the living room downstairs.
Zhang Xueliang looked unhappy, excused himself and went downstairs.
He came back ten minutes later and said angrily: "Yang Chang went too far.
He set up a Northeastern Railway Supervisory Office.
He appointed Chang Yinhuai as the superintendent without even saying hello to me.
He even wrote the appointment letter and forced me to sign it.
Do you really think I am Adou?"
Chen Zikun said: "Han Qing, how long are you going to endure it?"
Zhang Xueliang stomped a few steps in the room, took out a silver dollar and tossed it three times, saying: "It's God's will.
I have decided to execute these two people tonight.
Brother Kunwu, your marksmanship is so brave.

If anything happens, If anything changes, I’ll rely on you.”
Chen Zikun agreed wholeheartedly.
In the evening, Gao Liangcao brought in two large mirrored seedlings, saying that they were prepared by the young marshal.
Chen Zikun put the gun on his body and accompanied Zhang Xueliang downstairs.
Zhang Xueliang got up and took a few steps from time to time.
He seemed to be quite nervous.
Suddenly someone outside shouted: "Supervisor Yang is here, Governor Chang is here."
Yang Chang and the other two came in carefree and were a little unhappy when they saw Chen Zikun sitting there.
Yang Yuting snorted and said, "Why hasn't Chairman Chen gone back yet?
Do you want to celebrate the New Year in the Northeast?"
Chen Zikun smiled and said, "Let's go now."
Yang Yuting said: "That's good.
I'll take you on your way later."
At this moment, Zhang Xueliang was completely relaxed, his brows were very relaxed, and he said: "Sit down and talk, sorghum stalks, go and bring the cantaloupe that was flown from the northwest to give Governor Yang, Supervisor Chang, a try."
Yang Yuting said: "Young Marshal is still a kid.
Why are you eating cantaloupe?
Let's sign it first."
Chang Yinhuai smiled: "It's rare for a young commander to have such filial piety, so let's try the cantaloupe on the plane."
Sorghum stalk went upstairs for a while and then came back down.
He said that his wife was taking a bath and the cantaloupe was in the refrigerator, so it was not convenient to go in and get it.
Zhang Xueliang jumped up and said, "I'll get it."
After that, he left the hall and went upstairs.
Chen Zikun said sorry and went out.
Yang Yuting did not doubt the deception, and was muttering something to Chang Yinhuai with his head lowered.
Suddenly, Gao Liangshou and other six guards armed with shell guns rushed in under the leadership of Fengtian Police Chief Gao Jiyi and quickly pressed the two of them to the ground.
Gao Jiyi Announced: "According to the command of the chief, you two are obstructing the reunification of the country, and you will be executed immediately."
Immediately, without explanation, two executioners shot him in the back of the head.
The bullet penetrated the back of the head, killing him instantly.
Two corpses were lying across the living room, and the blood slowly soaked the carpet.
The Northeastern official who was so arrogant just now could no longer give orders.
Chen Zikun stood at the door and witnessed this scene happening, and whispered: "Director Yang, I will send you on your way first.
Come on."
After executing Yang Chang and Yang Chang, Zhang Xueliang came down from upstairs, took a look at the corpses and said, "Wrap them in carpet.
I don't want to see their faces."
The adjutant came to report that Commander Sun Lian had arrived.
Zhang Xueliang knew that Sun Chuanfang had a good relationship with Yang Yuting, and he must have come to chat with Yang, so he asked someone to invite him in and said, "Shuai Xin, I fired another shot."
Sun Chuanfang was puzzled and asked what kind of cannon was fired.
Chen Zikun interjected: Han Qing just shot Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai. " Sun Chuanfang caught a glimpse of the guards in the living room rolling up the body with carpet, and could vaguely see the soles of Yang Yuting's boots.
His heart was shocked, but he said calmly: "Hero, if a hero wants to do something big, how about killing a few people?
Well, kill." good" After killing Yang Chang and Yang Chang, there were many aftermaths.
The Japanese Consulate General in Fengtian needed to report, the Nanjing National Government needed to report, the families of the two and the generals of the Northeast Army had to be comforted.
Chen Zikun was worried that others would think that he had tricked Zhang into killing Yang Chang.
The two of them left quickly, and Zhang Xueliang did not keep him, but sent him back with sorghum stalks.
Chen Zikun chose to return to Jiangdong by sea.
He first took the train on the South Manchuria Railway to Dalian, then transferred to a Japanese passenger ship to Shanghai, and then transferred back to Jiangdong from Shanghai.

This method saves the most time.
When transferring ships to Dalian, he unexpectedly met Sun Chuanfang.
Chen Zikun joked: "Xin Shuai, why are you getting less and less courageous?
What does it have to do with Han Qing killing Yang Chang?"
Sun Chuanfang hesitated and did not answer.
It took Chen Zikun twenty days to finally arrive at the Jiangdong provincial capital on the eve of the Spring Festival in 1929.
It has been nearly a year since he started his northern expedition in April last year, looking at the completed gate of the mansion and the white sun flag flying in the sky. , he couldn't help but be filled with emotion, wondering how much his daughter had grown.
"No idlers are allowed to stay here," the gatekeeper shouted sternly
