After the Guo Songling incident, Zhang Zuolin became a bird of fright. Seeing that Li Jinglin and Zhang Zongchang's "different aspirations" were revealed, they were only as if they had not seen it, because at this time, stabilizing the interior was the most important thing.
Feng Yuxiang's life was not much better, although he temporarily achieved great benefits, but in the process of distribution of benefits, various internal contradictions were born. The key is whether the immediate interests can be kept, or whether they cannot be kept yet.
There is also a general of the direct line, Sun Chuanfang, who himself has five southeastern provinces. It's so happy that no one provokes me, and I don't mean to provoke people.
At this time, Wu Peifu "re-emerged from the jianghu". This made the warlords of the Feng and Feng clans both worried and afraid.
In fact, as far as that time was concerned, most of the warlords of the old direct line advocated a "great alliance of the old direct line" to jointly deal with Zhang Zuolin. For example, Sun Chuanfang. When Wu Dian invited Sun Tong to go north, Sun called back and said, "On political issues, only Yu Shuai is the leader of the horse." Militarily, he cooperated with the Bong clan and was not prejudiced. "Actually, I'm not going to openly oppose you, but I'm not going to go north with you."
At this time, Wu Peifu was stunned to deal with Feng Yuxiang, and resolutely advocated jointly serving Feng, and the old generals such as Jin Yun'e could only dare to be angry and did not dare to speak.
Feng Zhang lian wu, but in order to "heal the sores in front of him". When he recovers slightly, he will not really "cut the flesh of his heart" for Wu Peifu. Therefore, the so-called alliance between Wu and Feng will not have the results that both sides want.
In mid-June 1926, Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin, two "marshals," decided to go to Beijing to meet, "only to express the feelings of brotherhood and righteousness, and to stop discussing military and political issues."
Previously, on the issue of forming a cabinet, Wu Peifu had been put together by Zhang. So it was necessary for the two to meet. In order to avoid the collapse of the talks, everyone could not get off the stage. It can only "talk about feelings, not things".
On June 24, The Du Cabinet and Wang Huaiqing, the chief of the Military Police in Beijing, announced to the outside world that they would welcome the two "grand marshals" into Beijing. From this day on, the capital was busy, paved with loess along the way, and the gendarmes guarded the road. On the twenty-sixth day, I don't know where the news came, saying that these two marshals "have come!" "The military and police authorities are even busier. The gendarmerie and the security brigade went out together, and the road from the station to the station was under martial law, with three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. The sentries are all back to the center of the street, and the horizontal guns stand. Machine guns, mortars are prepared with live ammunition. It was hard to wait until five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Zuolin walked through this murderous scene, "purred" behind the sentry, and drove past.
On the twenty-seventh day, Marshal Wu set off from Baoding, with forty-four trains and two planes reconnaissance along the way. The train drove to Changxin shop and stopped there without leaving. The military police in Beijing have a busy day. Always have to ask for news. When I inquired, it turned out that Zhang Qijun had a lesson with Wu Dashuai on the train, saying that it was "the 28th into Beijing Daji".
So on the twenty-eighth day, Marshal Wu entered Beijing.
Wu and Zhang also made a second mutual visit according to Yili. Finally, at twelve o'clock on the twenty-eighth day, they went to Juren Hall with them and went to the "celebration banquet" of the Du cabinet, and each of them brought a number of entourages.
To meet the brothers is to be humble and to say something "to dig out the heart" to show sincerity. At this time, the table was full of wine and dishes, and the people were already seated, just listening to "Huh! With a sound, Zhang and Wu's retinue suddenly pulled out their guns and aimed them at each other. At this tense moment, he only heard Gu Weijun say, "And stop! Everyone looked at him together, and it turned out that the noise was Gu Weijun's top hat falling to the ground. No, Gu Zhengha had to pick it up at the waist.
Wu and Zhang were not busy serving wine first, and wiped the beads of sweat on their heads first!
