Fengxian Jiangshan

"Commander, occupying Chifeng is really a wonderful move. Going forward can attack Chengde, retreating can protect Tongliao, and it can also threaten Feng Delin. As long as it is used well, Fengtian's overall situation will be leveraged."

As Yang Yuting said, he swiped on the map, and his finger landed on the line of Jinzhou. From Chifeng to the east, there are Chaoyang and Jinzhou. This is Feng Delin's rear. If he stationed troops in Chifeng, it would be like encircling Feng Delin. Before Feng could compete with Zhang Zuolin, he had already fallen into a disadvantage, which was the first move.

Old Zhang stood in front of the map, looked carefully, and nodded frequently. Indeed, if Feng Jun could gain a foothold in Chifeng, he could contain Feng Delin's flanks. Old Zhang originally focused more on the three eastern provinces. Look, Rehe is on Fengtian's weakness.

Only by solving this problem can we let go of going north and take down Heiji and Jilin provinces. Of course, the most important thing for the time being is to unify Fengtian and lay a solid foundation.

"Linge, I'm going to expand Wu Junsheng's cavalry brigade, what do you think?"

"The cavalry brigade guarding Taonan is a barrier in the west of Fengtian, and it can just stop the Mongolian bandits from fleeing eastward. Therefore, it is very necessary to strengthen the cavalry brigade. But I think this expansion must break Wu Junsheng's control over the cavalry brigade, and the officers must be rotated. "

The status is different, and the questions are different. Now Zhang Zuolin naturally wants to restrict his subordinates from becoming bigger, and Yang Yuting's suggestion hits his heart.

"Let Wu Junsheng guard Chifeng for the time being, and after the Chinese New Year, the martial arts lectures will be held. Officers at all levels must be retrained, and then they will be dispersed and assigned!"

There are more and more troops under his command, and relying on the original method can no longer work, so Zhang Zuolin has made up his mind to completely change Fengjun, first of all, he must improve the quality of officers, of course, this is also to strengthen his control over Fengjun.

Lao Zhang thought about it.With a wry smile, he said, "It's easy to arrange for Wu Junsheng. The trouble is Zhuoyan. First, we eliminated Babu Zhabu, and now we captured Mi Zhenbiao alive. How should we deal with these two credits?"

As soon as Zhang Tinglan was mentioned, Yang Yuting shut his mouth knowingly. He and Zhang Tinglan had a close relationship, so it was easy to make Lao Zhang think too much.And this is indeed a big trouble. According to Zhang Tinglan's credit, it is logical to take another step up.When the independent brigade was expanded, he happened to be a brigade commander. Not to mention other credits, his military exploits were enough.

Babuzabu is a gangster who has been in trouble for many years, and no one can eliminate him.As a result, he died in the hands of Zhang Tinglan inexplicably, cutting off the biggest cancer in Mengjiang.Even Yuan Shikai issued a commendation order.However, since Zhang Tinglan had just assumed the role of team leader, Lao Zhang suppressed it for the time being.

As a result, Mi Zhenbiao was captured alive again, which is not a trivial matter. Mi Zhenbiao is the number two figure in the Yi army. In the battle of Tongliao, the Feng army won more with less.The army's prestige was greatly increased, and the Feng army took the opportunity to occupy Chifeng. This credit must be rewarded.

But Lao Zhang is also very embarrassed, there are too many monks and too little porridge.If Zhang Tinglan was promoted to brigade commander, he would be equal to Zhang Jinghui, and the older generation would definitely feel uncomfortable.In addition, Lao Zhang also has a little selfishness. Now that Zhang Xueliang has not officially entered the army, if Zhang Tinglan is promoted too quickly, Zhang Xueliang will be completely suppressed. Lao Zhang obviously does not want to see this situation.

Neither left nor right, Lao Zhang turned around on the ground, and suddenly found a work-for-work report on the table.Lao Zhang's eyes lit up, and he finally thought of a solution.

"Lingge, last year there were frequent floods in Fengtian, and many refugees were displaced. I plan to set up a reclamation army with a brigade-level organization to be responsible for organizing the work of the victims. Let Zhuoyan be in charge. What do you think?"

When Yang Yuting heard Lao Zhang's idea, he secretly gave him a thumbs up. This method is indeed good.It was Zhang Tinglan's proposal to use work for relief and disaster relief, and he was just asked to implement it, and he was promoted to the brigade commander level, Zhang Tinglan must be satisfied.At the same time, the garrison army does not seem to be a front-line fighting force, and it will not overly stimulate the group of old people, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

"The commander-in-chief has a good idea, and I will make arrangements for the humble job."

Lao Zhang is here thinking about how to reward Zhang Tinglan, and Zhang Tinglan herself is not idle, and has wiped out Yi Jun, and the local chaos still needs to be dealt with.In particular, quite a few Mongolian bandits heard that Fengjun and Yijun were at war, so they thought there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they harassed various places one after another, wanting to fish in troubled waters.

Naturally, Zhang Tinglan would not be polite, he dispersed his soldiers and resolutely beat the provocative Mongolian bandits.The advantage of the Mongolian bandits lies in their strong mobility, they can win if they fight, and run away if they can't win.

The advantage of Fengjun lies in its powerful firepower, especially equipped with heavy machine guns, the Mongolian bandit cavalry can no longer be aggressive.Therefore, the Feng army took measures to maximize its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. By buying businessmen, it obtained information on the actions of the Mongolian bandits in advance, and then adopted the tactics of encircling and ambush, concentrating its firepower, and beating the Mongolian bandits hard.

For Yijun Zhang Tinglan, he will try his best to capture some prisoners. For these Mongolian bandits, I'm sorry, I'm not polite at all!As long as they come across them, they will all be wiped out, leaving no one behind. In just a few days, more than [-] Mongolian bandits were killed, and the corpses were not even covered, and they were thrown on the snow without worrying about rot and maggots.

It's just that those wild wolves are cheaper, they can easily get food, stumps and broken bones are everywhere, like hell.However, it was precisely this kind of thunderous method that completely curbed the rampant momentum of the bandits, and made them all dispel the idea of ​​taking advantage.

The common people in Tongliao experienced a war, and finally hoped for a rare peace. The independent brigade was stationed here, and the Mongolian bandits that often appeared in previous winters also disappeared. Everyone can finally prepare for the New Year with excitement.

In the past, many people did not dare to post Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers, just because they were afraid of attracting the attention of bandits. Now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the lively scene, Zhang Tinglan was also infected by this strong flavor of the year. I also look forward to returning to Fengtian as soon as possible.

At this time, Wu Junsheng from Chifeng sent a telegram, as soon as Lao Wu came up, it was like Zhang Tinglan asking for help.Wu Junsheng occupied Chifeng as soon as he passed by. He is also full of ambition, but of course he can't be too proud. After all, there are still more than 1 people in the Yi army. If they attack desperately, Old Wu will have to work hard.

Wu Junsheng built fortifications along Chifeng, trying to stop Yi Jun, who knew that the trouble did not come from Yi Jun, but from ordinary people.

After he occupied Chifeng, it snowed heavily for two consecutive days.Many farmers and herdsmen suffered disasters, a large number of livestock froze to death, and farmers and herdsmen who lacked food and clothing suffered from hunger and cold.In addition, before Mi Zhenbiao went to the battle, he searched a lot, leaving Chifeng's treasury empty, and the merchants suffered a lot of losses. A large number of refugees gathered in Chifeng.

Wu Junsheng is not a kind person, but he just occupied Chifeng.If a large number of people are starved to death and the hearts of the people are lost, how can he hold on, so he sent a report to Zhang Tinglan for help.

Zhang Tinglan also knows that it concerns the hearts of the people and cannot be taken lightly.So he brought Cheng Tianci over.

"Head Zhang, what orders do you have? The villain will do his best."

"Brother Cheng, there are a large number of disaster victims in Chifeng, which is not good for us to control Chifeng, so we need to find a way to relieve the disaster."

A trace of astonishment flashed across Cheng Tianci's face, and then he said bitterly: "The villain is willing to donate 20 yuan for disaster relief."

"Hahaha, brother Cheng misunderstood. I didn't ask you to pay, I asked you to help with some things. Tongliao has just established a wool spinning factory and a canning factory. They all need supplies. You arrange people to go to herdsmen The family buys livestock, both dead and alive. The fur is sent to the wool spinning mill, and the flesh and blood are sent to the cannery. In addition, I will contact Shanxi merchants to transport some New Year's goods to Chifeng, so that most people can survive this winter. "

When Cheng Tianci heard Zhang Tinglan's words, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. If he dared to ask for money, he would give him a big business instead. He immediately patted his chest and promised that the matter would be done well.

With Cheng Tianci as a local snake, the pressure of the disaster will definitely be much less. In addition, Zhang Tinglan also gave Lao Wu a trick, asking him to hire those helpless victims at a low price and send them to Fengtian. They are all high-quality laborers. Zhang Tinglan has long thought about it. Starting next year, he must vigorously introduce immigrants and jointly develop Fengtian.

Feng Jun was busy dealing with various things, but Yuan Shikai was in a state of desperation at this time. Cai E's army was fighting Beiyang in southern Sichuan. The Beiyang army was retreating steadily due to low morale. Hugging his head and running like a mouse.

The other two guards also went to Guangxi and Hunan respectively. Lao Yuan's three-way attack on Yunnan not only failed, but was kicked back by others. The resentment in his heart can be imagined. When a battle broke out, Feng's army unexpectedly wiped out Yi's army and occupied Chifeng.

Lao Yuan hastily called all his counselors together to discuss how to deal with it. These counselors under his command were not as energetic as they were some time ago. They were all downcast, especially Yang Du, who wholeheartedly hoped that Junxian could save China. As a result, not only failed to save China, but also made China more divided, and Yang Du was completely lost.

"Dear dear friends, Jiang Gui filed a lawsuit against Feng Jun, accusing Feng Jun of cruelly killing Yi Jun soldiers and occupying the important town of Chifeng. What do you think should be done?"

"Your Majesty, Fengjun's accusation lies with Fengtian, but they invaded Rehe's territory. They are obviously wild and unruly, and they have to look forward to Shu. I suggest that Your Majesty severely punish Zhang Zuolin, the chief culprit, and set rules for these bandits." Since the last trip to Beijing However, even if Liang Shiyi and Zhang Zuolin became enemies, they never let go of any opportunity to cause trouble for Lao Zhang.

Yang Shiqi on the side snorted: "Liang Caishen, you are right, but do we still have troops to threaten Fengtian? Without force to oppress, can Zhang Zuolin spit out the meat that reaches his mouth?"

Yang Shiqi questioned him one after another, leaving Liang Shiyi speechless. If Lao Yuan had spare troops, he would have sent out to fight Cai E a long time ago. How could he have the energy to deal with Zhang Zuolin?

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a slap cannot be slapped, and Yijun is also responsible. Mi Zhenbiao took the initiative to invade Fengtian, and let Zhang Zuolin seize the opportunity to teach him a hard lesson. There is nothing wrong with this. I think the most important thing is to appease, and Zhang Zuolin is just one." Tiger, don't let him make trouble in the three northeastern provinces."

Yang Shiqi didn't mention Jiang Gui's question at all in his words. Obviously, he didn't care what the old coffin skin thought.At this time, old Yuan Jingjing listened to the counselor's words, and kept thinking about the countermeasures. In just a month or two, age spots appeared on Yuan Shikai's hands and face.

The originally huge body also began to shrink, as if he had changed into a different person, and the people close to him seemed a little sad.

Yang Du thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zuolin invaded the neighboring province without permission, setting a very bad precedent. If other provinces follow suit, the world will be completely messed up. Punishment must be carried out. Your minister has One suggestion, His Majesty can issue an imperial decree to Zhang Zuolin to let Feng's army enter the pass to fight together to wipe out Cai E's rebels. If Zhang Zuolin doesn't listen, then Meng Enyuan, Zhu Qinglan, Feng Delin and others can jointly deal with Zhang Zuolin."

Yang Du undoubtedly wanted Zhang Zuolin's army to act in accordance with the imperial decree, which was tantamount to handing over the precious army to Lao Yuan as cannon fodder, but he refused to listen, and gave Lao Yuan Jin an excuse to attack. Although Yang Du was depressed, he Still very flexible, he thought of a good way to put Zhang Zuolin in a dilemma.

Yuan Shikai finally opened his old eyes at this time, and nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with this method. (To be continued..)
