Fengxian Jiangshan

Although Wang Yongjiang is a little talented, he is actually a very simple person. Lao Zhang reuses him, and he does things wholeheartedly based on the belief that a scholar will die for his confidant, and he doesn't care about difficulties at all.

He pointed out that rectifying the administration of officials and clearing up the land and land are both things that offend people. Most of the officials in Fengtian are leftovers from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.But these officials are not single-handedly, they have intricate relationships, one trigger affects the whole body, and the rectification of official administration is undoubtedly an attack on the entire conservative officialdom.

As for Qingzhang’s farmland, it is a matter of offending people to death. China is an agricultural society with thousands of years of tradition, and the landlord class is the backbone of this society. For the country, this will undoubtedly reduce the country's tax revenue.

Therefore, all dynasties and dynasties have taken measures to clear up the land. No matter whether it is successful or not, they will be desperately counterattacked by the landlord group. After all, they will cut off people’s wealth, such as killing their parents. On the opposite side of the landlord group.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan also knows that clearing the land is a must, not only to increase taxes, but more importantly, to pay taxes according to the land, which can ensure a kind of fairness and alleviate social conflicts. This is especially important. The three eastern provinces are already chaotic enough. , all kinds of contradictions are intertwined, if the landlord and the peasants quarrel again, it will completely get out of control.

Therefore, despite the huge resistance, Zhang Tinglan is still very supportive, and he also believes that Wang Yongjiang has the ability to solve this problem.

"The government of officials is not clear and the place is unstable. Rectifying the administration of officials is the next most important task. All officials must be inspected, and the low-level officials are also included in the scope of inspection. All serious corruption and dereliction of duty will be eliminated, and others will also be investigated. After the assessment, only if you pass the examination can you continue to be an official and have the priority for promotion."

Since the establishment of the imperial examination system, China has begun to select officials through examinations, which is far ahead of Western countries.However, there is also a fatal problem, that is, only the officials have to pass the exam, and they really have contact with the people at the bottom, but the small officials who handle specific affairs have not passed the exam.On the contrary, they are regarded as pariahs.

Therefore, these petty officials are often the main force of oppressing the common people, corrupting the law and corrupting the law. Although they may not be big in size, they cannot stand up to a large number, and the harm is even greater.This time Wang Yongjiang directly regarded the officials as one.Adopting a unified evaluation mechanism is also a great initiative.

If it can be fully implemented.Fengtian's administration of officials will definitely change greatly.These people present are all military leaders, and they don't really care about rectifying the officials, but they can also hear Zhang Zuolin's military spirit of reform.

"This time the evaluation of officials, the effectiveness of clearing up the land is one of the most important criteria. Now it happens that the grain has been collected. The common people are starting to live in winter. If the land is cleared at this time, the land tax will be raised a lot next year. Fengtian's Financial pressure can also be greatly eased.”

"As for the issue of suppressing bandits, it is related to local security. Without good security, nothing can be done, so this must also be taken seriously."

After Wang Yongjiang finished speaking, Zhang Zuolin took over the words: "We are all from green forests, and we are no strangers to suppressing bandits. Some people are forced by the government to rebel against the people, and some people have no way out. As long as such bandits can change their ways, they will be given One way to survive, don't kill them all. There is only one thing that must not be let go, that is, those Mongolian bandits who harass the border, these guys do all kinds of evil, they can be killed but not kept!"

Over the years, Zhang Zuolin has exterminated not only Du Lisan's thugs, but also Tao Ketaohu's Mongols. Relatively speaking, Zhang Zuolin hates the murderous Mongols even more, and he is more ruthless in killing them.

In fact, most of these Mongolian bandits were supported by Tsarist Russia and acted as thugs of Tsarist Russia to help the Russians split Outer Mongolia. Regarding these Mongolian bandits, Zhang Tinglan also advocated that they should be resolutely killed, and he was not polite at all.

Lao Zhang explained the matter almost, and everyone dispersed with their own thoughts. The smart people have already noticed that this time is different from the past. Zhang Zuolin is no longer a teacher, he is a prince of one party, and he has more comprehensive considerations , this group of old brothers who only know how to fight and kill have fewer and fewer opportunities to speak out as they get older, while Wang Yongjiang, a talent for governing the country, has more and more opportunities to show off, and Zhang Zuolin pays more attention to it.

"Military generals rule the world, civil officials rule the world, this has been the principle since ancient times, but it's really uncomfortable to give up the world that you have won to others!"

"Father, do you still remember the layout on the stage, the door for the first stage says General, and the door for the next stage says Enlightenment. You are also called Prime Minister, whether you are conquering the world or ruling the world, you are inseparable!"

"Stinky boy, dare to make fun of your father's name, seek a beating!" Zhang Zuoxiang said, grabbed the cigarette pouch, and hit Zhang Tinglan on the head.

"Ting Lan, Yu Ting specifically talked about the suppression of bandits at the end. I think there will be action during this time. Every autumn and winter, the common people take back the grain, and the family also has grain storage. The bandits are about to rob the grain for the winter. It happens to be dispatched frequently."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zuoxiang asked again: "Ting Lan, do you have confidence in the recruits under your hand? If you can, you might as well practice with these bandits. After all, only soldiers who have seen blood are real soldiers. It's a recruit!"

"Father, I've had this idea for a long time. You may not be able to produce a strong army with bare head training, and actual combat is the best whetstone."

"If you have an idea, you must be prepared. Don't let the bandits not be wiped out, but be calculated by others."

"Father, can I go with my eldest brother?" Zhang Tingshu has always been a militant. Usually Zhang Tinglan trains recruits, and he follows them as soon as school is over. Although he is young, he can keep up with the rhythm and hardly fall behind. This shows that he hard work.

"Children, why don't you join in the fun? You should study hard first. After the new year's martial arts class starts, you go in and study for a few years, and then you are thinking about going to the battlefield!"

"Father, I'm not a child anymore, and my marksmanship is better than that of my elder brother!"

When it came to marksmanship, Zhang Tinglan's face also turned slightly red. In this regard, he was indeed inferior to his second brother, even Zhang Xueliang. He could only be regarded as average among the new army, and Zhang Tinglan was actually thinking about it.If you don't have the sharp tool of time travel, you will be like a middle man, and you will be mediocre all your life.

Seeing Zhang Tingshu's eagerness to try, Zhang Zuoxiang nodded after thinking for a while: "Tingshu, you can go, but you have to follow your elder brother every step of the way!"

"Father, don't worry, I will take good care of my elder brother!"

Before Zhang Tingshu finished speaking, he was hit on the forehead: "Brother, why did you hit me?"

"Listen well, Dad promises you. You haven't passed my test yet. If I'm not happy, just shake your head like this, and you will be honest and warm at home!"

Zhang Zuoxiang's judgment was not wrong at all, only five days had passed.News came from the Taonan area that a large number of Mongolian bandits had been discovered.The leader is Babzab.

This Babzabu is also a stubborn Mongolian bandit.As early as the Russo-Japanese War, Babuzabu defected to the Japanese and served as a transport team for the Japanese.After the Revolution of [-], Babuzabu went to Outer Mongolia again, and colluded with the Russians and the nobles of Outer Mongolia in an attempt to achieve independence.

in a period of time thereafter.Babu Zhabu led his subordinates to plunder everywhere, causing disaster. Not long ago, Beiyang finally made up his mind.To wipe out this group of bandits, Xiao Liangchen, Duolun's guardian, led his troops to defeat Babu Zhabu's main force. This guy escaped to Taonan and Hailar by luck.

After Zhang Tinglan got the news, he was eager to try. If he used ordinary bandits to sharpen his sword, Zhang Tinglan would still look down on him. Being able to compete with the famous bandits just showed his ability.At this time, Lao Zhang sent someone to look for Zhang Tinglan, and Zhang Tinglan immediately went to see Zhang Zuolin excitedly.

"Ting Lan, are you interested in going to destroy them?"

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the humble duty is a duty!"

After Zhang Zuolin got the report, he called Zhang Tinglan over and planned to arrange for him to go to Taonan to suppress the bandits.

"Speaking of which, you are all recruits. If you want to deal with a bandit like Babu Zhabu, I really don't feel at ease. But Wu Datong is in charge of guarding Taonan, and his cavalry is still very powerful, just a few Meng bandits can't get any cheap. I asked you to go there not to fight, but to condolences to Wu Junsheng for me, and send him some New Year's goods by the way, to make contact with each other!"

When Zhang Tinglan heard it, she realized that Lao Zhang just wanted to be an envoy, not a real war, and she was a little disappointed.

"Ting Lan, don't take it seriously, kid. In Fengtian, apart from me and Feng Delin, Wu Datong has the strongest strength. Even if you can't pull him over, you can't let others take advantage of you, so you go over this time. Pay attention to your sense of proportion.”

"Seventh Lord, do you mean to show kindness and strength at the same time?"

"That's right, don't look at Wu Junsheng's rough surface, but he is actually extremely cunning. If you want him to see our strong military and financial resources, I believe he will make the right choice. In addition, let the little six go with you, the two of you It's just right for a nephew to look at the uncle."

A good bandit suppression operation turned into visiting relatives and friends, plus showing off force. Although Zhang Tinglan was a little reluctant, she also knew the importance of this matter.Wu Junsheng's position in Fengtian is second only to Zhang Zuolin. If he can be recruited, it will be of great significance for Zhang Zuolin to control the overall situation of Fengtian.

Zhang Tinglan accepted the task. He selected [-] soldiers from the second regiment, took the necessary supplies and gifts for Wu Junsheng, left Fengtian in a mighty way, and went straight to Taonan. Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Tingshu also followed.

They first took the train to Liaoyuan, which could have been directly connected to Taonan, but Zhang Tinglan suddenly wanted to use this rare opportunity to train soldiers. Although he was not prepared to fight with real swords and guns, he could also carry out long-distance training so that the soldiers could find someone who can fight. Feel.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan ordered everyone to get off the train, and the rest of the march was on two legs, completely in accordance with the requirements of the battle. Soldiers should be ready for battle, and send sentries from far away to investigate carefully, not letting go of any details.

When they walked to the open area, Zhang Tinglan also asked to simulate an enemy attack and train the soldiers' resilience. After walking for two days, although they did not encounter any bandits, they managed to wipe out a few wolves, which was regarded as a crime. The soldiers Also gradually have a little feeling.

It gets dark early in the winter in the north, and it is already dark at four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Soldiers who have walked for a day skillfully set up tents, prepare food, and rest.It is only two days away from Taonan, and Zhang Tinglan kept thinking about how to win over Wu Junsheng.

Just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent.

"Reporting to the regiment commander, a group of cavalry is rushing towards this side, the number of which is close to 1000!"

Zhang Tinglan frowned immediately, it was not a good thing in the middle of the night.

"Pass my order, order all soldiers to get up immediately, pull out all machine guns and artillery, and get ready for battle!"

After Zhang Tinglan's order was conveyed, it quickly showed the results of the rigorous training during this period. Although these soldiers encountered this situation for the first time, they quickly made preparations. Hearing the rapid sound of horseshoes, a group of fancy-dressed cavalry rushed over here.
