On April 28, 1922, act according to continuously scolding through afterwar, resort to arms eventually, prewar Wu Peifu says with respect to mouth of boast go into business, zhang Zunlin's arms, where to deserve to fight with me, I should hunt only general. As expected, act according to continuously in be locked in a stalemate after a few days, discipline of the army that give a department is inattentive, the weakness with legionary poor quality is exposed without involuntary discharge of urine. Be in well-trained, military discipline is strict and impartial straight army below powerful firepower, feng Jun does not break through Cheng Jun very quickly, pull out Heibei Luan city is taken.
Xu Shichang of generalissimo of hold sb under duress of ground of Wu Peifu too impatient to wait and the State Council, undertake condemnatory to Zhang Zunlin. Give a war the 6th day after the end continuously, namely on May 10, 1922, beijing government gave orders to absolve Zhang Zunlin east 3 provinces make one's rounds is read make and cheat border classics slightly history wait for a post.
Wu Peifu step by step press hard on, zhang Zunlin was immersed in unprecedented political crisis in, each just are paying close attention to Zhang Zunlin's every act closely. On May 12, it is namely after two days when unmake your make known to lower levels of Beijing government, zhang Zunlin removes county of Luan of defense sector Heibei suddenly in army, published east 3 provinces autonomy is enunciative.
Face this one situation, wu Peifu attempts to undertake disintegrate from the interior that give a department. Before long, below Wu Peifu's plan, transfer order of Beijing government make known to lower levels, appoint Heilongjiang to save warlord Wu Jun to rise arrange manage to act according to day warlord, former Zhang Zunlin's at hand is risen by Beijing government official one class. It is very fierce that this one action can say Wu Peifu, but this action alienates plan use on whose body the metropolis is useful, cannot use in Zhang Zunlin to go up personally alone only. Is this why?
Original, zhang Zunlin is green forest one's previous experience, his ordinary members of theatrical troupe that give a department also is the brother that follows his go through fire and water in those days, sentiment is natural need not dilatancy. And at ordinary times Zhang Zunlin also is to the management of at hand with personal loyalty of all corners of the country, brother ties of friendship is a foundation, his army with core of big Shuai Wei, had formed the Zhang Jiajun on a real significance. Wu Peifu wants to alienate they, natural and bad to make.
As expected, wu Jun rises wait for a person to make known his position publicly, do not admit the appointment of Beijing government, at the same time east 3 provinces are various general also electrify, right east 3 provinces autonomy expresses to support. In Zhang Zunlin hold accuse to fall, zhang Zunlin of choose of 3 provinces parliament is held the position of east east the security personnel commander-in-chief of 3 provinces. On June 20, 1922, zhang Zunlin announces formally east 3 provinces execute couplet to save autonomy, commander-in-chief of avowed security personnel.
But, after experiencing the failure that gives big fight continuously, zhang Zunlin decides to work hard east 3 provinces, pledge must sign up for the enemy that gives big fight continuously. A batch of bookman such as Wang Yongjiang of Zhang Zunlin put sb in a very important position, reform finance, open factory, expand economy. After having money, zhang Zunlin upgrades ceaselessly again Feng Jun's weaponry, train martial talented person. Among them the most distinct effect, was to establish to be in the northeast of Chinese the first of all is naval at that time.
Besides do army classics military, zhang Zunlin returns firm to catch education. He accepts the proposal of Wang Yongjiang of the governor that give a day willingly, would rather raise 50 thousand army less, also want managerial school. On April 26, 1923, northeast university holds water formally. The northeast university at that time, whole campus area amounts to 900 mus, it is in those days country's biggest campus.
Will teach to attract top-ranking learned man, below Zhang Zunlin's directive, the pay of set of northeast university institute and treatment are quite favorable, even a few of prep above home famous universities. Beijing University, Tsinghua teachs monthly pay 300 yuan, 240 yuan leave south, northeast university is 360 yuan, the person such as Zhang Shizhao is as high as 800 yuan unexpectedly later. This and domestic war situation falls at that time, back pay of each school professor, decrease firewood to form bright contrast for commonplace.
In Zhang Zunlin work hard below, east no matter 3 provinces become the throughout the country's strongest at that time area on economy, military affairs or education. Zhang Zunlin rehabilitate two years, had actual strength and Wu Peifu to compete for championship again eventually.
In September 1924, act according to big fight the 2nd times to erupt continuously, feng Jun offensive is violent, will razzia in October big buy mouth. Straight army onshore attack is not successful, the navy since hold a memorial ceremony for of harp on the same string is aided blast this a magic weapon. However, this situation is different, feng Jun also has his navy. Do not lose Zhang Zunlin great expectations, make one's rounds of team of northeast sea warship is prevented at a gleam of of island of battalion mouth, calabash, go up in crucial few points offing large quantities of lay mines, make straight army a bit petty gain also did not take Bohai Sea fleet.
Fight in coordination in army and naval under, zhang Zunlin is in eventually 1924, signed up for the enemy of one arrow. Give big fight continuously in the 2nd in the center, he mixes Wu Peifu eventually lineal drove the history out of arena, also be wherefrom rises momently, zhang Zunlin alone pace Central Plains, also do not have warlord to be able to contend with him again. He is entered again close, generalissimo of self-given Liu Haijun, represent mastery of exercise of China the Republic of China, become government of the Qing Dynasty name for the coastal provinces of Liaoning highest ruler.
