The Japanese are not monolithic. Some of them support the use of forces such as the Zongsha Party, while others advocate buying local powerful factions such as Zhang Zuolin.It's just that Lao Zhang's independence is getting stronger and stronger, and he also introduced European and American forces to balance Japan, which made the Japanese feel instinctively frightened. The forces headed by the military began to decide to support the Zongsha Party and the Revolutionary Party. At that time, he won the entire Liaodong Peninsula in one fell swoop, and even split Fengtian.

It turned out that the Japanese wanted to walk on two legs together. On the one hand, the Revolutionary Party raised the banner of protecting Mao Zedong against Yuan Shikai, and on the other hand, the Zongsha Party raised the banner of Manchurian independence and restored Manchukuo. The card of the Socialist Party was completely disabled.What's even more terrible is that Feng Jun took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshuffle Fengtian's rural forces.

Japan is also a country that is about to complete industrialization. It is very clear about the meaning behind the changes in Fengtian's rural storms. If Fengjun is allowed to go on like this, they will have a firm foothold and even have the ability to carry out industrialization.

How could they be willing to have a strong Feng army under their noses, so Ben Zhuang Shige firmly opposed to delaying the action. On the contrary, they had to speed up preparations, gather more forces, and have stronger combat effectiveness.

"He Sang, your mission now is to gather more soldiers. The Fengtian government is destroying the landlords. Their armed forces must be won over, and the remnants of the Clan Socialist Party must also be drawn over to form a strong alliance."

"Mr. Advisor, we should follow your instructions, but if we want to recruit troops on a large scale, we need guns and ammunition, and more military expenditures. If we can't solve it, no one will listen to us."

He Tianjiong spread his hands.The request is very simple, that is, let the Japanese pay for the weapons, but Shigeru Honjo is very embarrassed. The main supporter of this operation is the military department, but the government expresses opposition, so he cannot get financial support, and Shigeru Honjo is on the ground. a few laps.

"He Sang, please contact Mr. Okura Kihachiro and ask him to provide 200 million yen in funding, and I will contact the Kwantung Army. Ask them to provide a batch of equipment."

This Okura Kihachiro is the founder of the Japanese Okura Zaibatsu. With the support of the Japanese army, he seized the mining rights in China. He has very strong financial resources and is also the vanguard of the invasion of China.The more Japan expands in China, the more he benefits.

He Tianjiong also met Okura Kihachiro several times.I know Okura is very generous.So gladly agree.Fan Zhuang also wants to contact the Kwantung Army, hoping to take out part of the Kwantung Army's arsenal, or even some active equipment. Who made the Kwantung Army strongly support this operation?

The tense preparations of the Japanese and the revolutionary party were noticed by the investigators sent by Zhang Tinglan, and the number of people gathered around Zhuanghe exceeded two to three thousand.And it is still increasing rapidly, especially recently, some landlords' armed forces have been disbanded, and the lazy people who had been idle had nowhere to go, so they all defected to Zhuanghe.This caused the number of revolutionaries to expand like a snowball.

Moreover, the Revolutionary Party has always had a good tradition, that is, it has close contacts with gangsters and hooligans. The Qinghong gang elders' associations are regarded as the main force of the revolution. It is the same outside the customs, and bandits and bandits also mix in a large number.

"Zhuoyan, you can still calm down now, don't you send troops to Zhuanghe as soon as possible?" Yang Yuting asked with some doubts: "Let those bastards gather together and eradicate them in one fell swoop, I agree, but the situation is a bit out of control now. There are more and more, and there are Japanese support behind us, after all, we only have one regiment, and I am afraid that it will be out of control."

"I'm afraid too!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "It's useless to be scary. They didn't make a big fuss. We sent troops rashly. If these people escape to Luda, it will be difficult for us to eliminate them. So I thought of a With the method of fighting poison with poison, they are recruiting people everywhere, so I will let them recruit more smoothly."

Yang Yuting didn't understand Zhang Tinglan's meaning for a moment, he frowned and said, "Stop playing charades, I'm really a little scared."

"Lingge, it's easy to say. He Tianjiong and the others are hungry and want anyone. We simply send some people to join them pretending to be bandits. Think about it, a bunch of mobs and internal problems. You say they can make a fortune." Is it?"

Now Yang Yuting understood Zhang Tinglan's plan, he couldn't help but put his thumbs up, and laughed loudly: "Zhuoyan, your trick is really good, no matter how many people they can recruit, as long as the internal chaos , It won’t be broken by itself, no matter how many people there are.”

Sending traitors is a very common method on the battlefield. Moreover, in order to expand their power, He Tianjiong and others are so hungry for personnel that they want anyone. There is a huge loophole hidden in it, which just gives Zhang Tinglan an opportunity.

"Zhuoyan, who did you send there?"

"It was the new Zhang Henian who took refuge in him. I changed his name to Zhang Haitian, and selected more than [-] smart soldiers, disguised them as a gang of bandits, and went to join the Revolutionary Party."

"That kid is a bandit, he is born to be a bandit, I think it is very suitable, but sending a group is a bit weak, and sending more people there."

When Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting were discussing, Zhang Henian had already entered Zhuanghe territory with dozens of soldiers. Before he had gone far, he met a group of people who happened to come from another fork in the road, and the two sides collided.

This group of people was dressed gaudyly, some were wearing old sheepskin jackets, some were wearing ragged cotton clothes, two of them were the worst, their bodies were wrapped in cotton quilts and tied with hemp rope, and they still looked like kimonos.

They are dressed in all kinds of clothes, and the weapons in their hands are also strange. Some are holding earthen guns, some are holding machetes, red-tasseled guns, etc. They look like jugglers and bandits.

The leading boy was in his thirties, thin and dry, with two yellow eyes rolling around. They also noticed people like Zhang Henian early on. They were neatly dressed and held rifles in their hands. They were around [-] each, looking very healthy , the kid thought carefully.

"Brother, are you going to Zhuanghe to make a fortune? My servant gave me the nickname Yellow Wolf, and I also have one in southern Liaoning. This time, I will bring my brothers to participate in this grand event. How about we go together?"

Zhang Henian didn't want to run amok, he could act with other bandits and conceal their identities.So he said: "Brother Huanglang, in Zhang Haitian, it is fate to meet each other, and we can take care of each other."

The two groups joined together, and the team more than doubled in size. Huang Lang saw that Zhang Henian and the others were different from ordinary bandits, so he asked, "Brother Haitian, what did you do?"

"To be honest, we were actually guarding Xiuyan's jade mines for Lord Qing Yi Kuang, but the Fengjun confiscated all the jade mines. The brothers had nowhere to go. When they heard that Zhuanghe was recruiting, they came here to seek refuge. "

When Huang Lang heard this, he nodded quickly, no wonder this group of people are so aggressive.It turned out that they were doing business for the prince, so they were naturally different from the mob.The yellow wolf also felt a sense of awe.

"Brother Haitian. Just because you are doing things for the prince, it proves that you are both capable. After you arrive in Zhuanghe, you will definitely be reused, at least as a company commander."

"Borrowing the good words from Brother Yellow Wolf, we actually just want to get some money. Then we can enjoy ourselves in the world of flowers in the pass."

"That's right, whoever is willing to work hard is the grandson. This time the Fengjun did too dishonorably, and they all came from the green forest. Now they fly to Gaozhi'er, and they look down on the Jianghu people in turn. What kind of militia are they? With the militia patrolling above and the officers and soldiers in the back, who would dare to rob merchants? How can this Jianghu people continue to mess around?"

Yellow Wolf complained all the way, Zhang Henian agreed without saying a word, they walked for a while, and met two groups of people one after another, one was thugs raised by the landlord, and the other was members of the gang.

Everyone gathered together, there were two or three hundred people, and when they got deep into the territory of Zhuanghe, there were people from the revolutionary party who were in charge of standing guard on the road. There were also many people who came to seek refuge these days. After asking, Zhang Henian and the others were arranged in a town near the county seat.

There have been more than [-] miscellaneous soldiers gathered here, all of them shouting and drinking, it's very lively.When Zhang Henian was driving at the landlord's house, he often dealt with this kind of people, so he quickly got along with this group of people. He was good at shooting, and the marksmanship of his brothers were amazing. long.

After waiting for more than ten days in a row, people came to promote it every night. Basically, the first group of people came to overthrow Yuan Shikai, abolish the monarchy, restore the Republic of China and so on.The second wave of people came and said they wanted to take back the land and kill Feng Jun and those daring mud legs.The third wave is the remnants of the Clan Socialist Party, and they want to restore the Qing Dynasty.

This is not over yet, sometimes the Japanese come over and say nonsense about the friendship between China and Japan, which makes Zhang Henian very funny, and this gang of mobs ignore these words, what they care about is how much benefit they give themselves , How much money and food can I have every day, everything else is bullshit.

Zhang Henian was not idle either. He used this time to learn about various situations in detail. He knew that there were a dozen or so such garrison points, with a total strength of nearly 4000 troops, which was not a small force.

After tossing for half a month, that night, He Tianjiong and Gu Renyi appeared together, and behind them were a few Japanese who brought a large number of guns. Zhang Henian, the cheap battalion commander, organized everyone to get the guns.

Some of these guns are [-]-style rifles, and there are many old-fashioned singles. Each person is issued a gun and returned ten yuan Japanese gold notes.

After the weapons and money were all distributed, He Tianjiong said to them: "Brothers, General Cai E is winning every victory, and Yuan Shikai is about to die. We must also take action to fight against Yuan together. I declare the official establishment of the Fengtian Protectorate , set off now and attack Zhuanghe."

After an order was given, these mobs all set off together, each holding a torch, looking from a distance, they looked like fire dragons, after walking for more than ten miles, the same fire dragons appeared one after another in other directions, and everyone gathered together Together, they will besiege Zhuanghe.

The revolutionaries have been making trouble for such a long time, and the officials in Zhuang Hanoi have known about it for a long time. Now that they have finally launched, the gang has almost run away. He Tianjiong and Gu Renyi personally commanded the gang and charged into the to the city.

How could this group of bandits have any discipline? After entering the city, they began to plunder crazily, looting whatever they saw. Major shops and even ordinary people's homes were not spared.

He Tianjiong didn't care about the misdeeds and evils of his subordinates anymore. He couldn't wait to raise the banner of Fengtian to protect **, and issued a notice to ask Yuan.

With a leader, there is no need to worry about no one to follow, not only the Revolutionary Party, but other guys who want to fish in troubled waters have also jumped out.In addition to Zhuanghe, Yingkou, Haicheng, Fengcheng, Dandong and other places have successively appeared banners protecting the **, and the land of southern Liaoning is surging.

Zhang Tinglan, who was in the center of the storm, was very calm on the contrary, without too much impatience. He dispatched soldiers unhurriedly to wipe out those rebels everywhere, but Zhang Tinglan avoided Zhuanghe intentionally or unintentionally, and let the revolutionaries There's a lot of nonsense here.

Zhang Tinglan's ability to sit still and fish does not mean that other people are also so calm. After the Emperor Yuan of Beijing heard that there was a revolutionary party in Fengtian, he was so anxious that he almost vomited blood. Only Zhang Zuolin was such a loyal minister, but there were problems under his rule. , Isn't this Tianjue Hongxian! (To be continued..)
