"Old Yuan sent us a telegram again, asking us to solve the problem in southern Liaoning as soon as possible."

"Marshal, they are all a bunch of mobs. Don't worry about it. It's easy to wipe them out if you have a clumsy command." Yuan Jinkai said to Lao Zhang: "The trouble is the attitude of Japan. The Japanese want to stop confiscating the land of the Eight Banners as soon as possible. , still protesting our abuse of justice.”

"The old and the young are all Japanese dogs. Naturally, they don't want to see the dogs die so badly. But if we don't confiscate the land, how can we solve the financial gap?"

Wang Yongjiang said loudly: "Marshal, you must resist the pressure no matter what. As long as the land is disposed of, I am sure that I will have a surplus of 500 million yuan this year. Within three years, I will repay all the money owed by Fengtian for many years." , can also repair water conservancy, build schools and factories, and Fengjun can also expand its military strength."

It can make Wang Yongjiang risk the world's disgrace and insist on confiscating the land of the Eight Banners. The biggest driving force is income. The common people have changed from tenant farmers to self-cultivated farmers. The hidden land has been cleaned up, and Fengtian's land tax can be increased by more than half. With this money , there are so many things that can be done.

Not only Wang Yongjiang was attracted by these profits, but even Lao Zhang went crazy. In addition to the increase in land tax, Zhang Zuolin was fascinated by the floating wealth of nearly ten million. Changing clothes, you can use money to clear the way, buy other forces over, and rule the sky.

This is Zhang Zuolin's goal all along, how could he give up easily.

"The Japanese protested against them. We procrastinated and acted faster. At the beginning of spring, we should deal with almost all the land. Don't delay the spring plowing. When it's done, the Japanese can't say anything."

Lao Zhang said again: "The troops in southern Liaoning seem to be a little weak. I'm going to send a battalion there."

"Since we need to send reinforcements, I suggest sending a cavalry battalion there. Zhuoyan's subordinates are already very good at fighting, what is lacking is mobility, and it happens that speed is also important in suppressing bandits." Sun Liechen expressed his opinion.

Lao Zhang immediately nodded in agreement, and at this time Zhang Zuoxiang also spoke: "Marshal, Brother Ma is still unresponsive at this point in the development of southern Liaoning. Some people shouldn't."

Ma Longtan's actions were indeed too slow, and Lao Zhang was also very dissatisfied. He had already sent several telegrams to Ma Longtan, but Ma Longtan just perfunctory, but did not take any action.

But Ma Longtan is his sworn brother again.The qualifications are too old, and Lao Zhang can't blame too much.

"I'll send someone to contact Brother Ma. Ask him to pay more attention. Don't let the traitor take advantage of it."

At this time, Zhang Tinglan commanded the army to sweep out several rebellious bandits in a row. Among them were bandits and bandits, as well as disgruntled landlords, but they were all in a hurry, ready to rush, and wiped out them as soon as the army passed by. .

Feng Jun is like an iron plow.As soon as they passed by, the militia was established, and the local management power changed hands. The power in Zhang Tinglan's hands became stronger and stronger. It seemed that the other small groups of gangsters had no ability to challenge at all.So they either died down, or they went to join Zhuanghe's revolutionary party.

The reshuffle in southern Liaoning is still going on, the cavalry battalion sent by Lao Zhang has arrived, and there are two people in charge of commanding, the battalion commander is Ma Zhanshan, and the deputy battalion commander is Wu Kaijie.

Few people don’t know about Ma Zhanshan. After the September [-]th Incident, Ma Zhanshan led his troops to fight the Japanese many times, and was honored as an anti-Japanese hero. Although Ma Zhanshan also had the taint of surrendering to Japan, he was still a hero.

He was also from Greenwood, and was later incorporated by Wu Junsheng and served as the company commander. During the attack on Chifeng, Ma Zhanshan performed bravely and was promoted to battalion commander.Immediately, Lao Wu sent him to inspect the pastures of the Eight Banners in Taonan, and the task was completed beautifully. Now that southern Liaoning is in urgent need of troops, Ma Zhanshan's troops were sent here.

At this time, Ma Zhanshan did not have a great name in later generations, and he was just an ordinary mid-level officer in the Fengjun. He still admired Zhang Tinglan, a man of great power.

"Tuan Zhang, Brigadier Wu has explained before coming here that everything is under the arrangement of Commander Zhang. You let me go east, and we will never go west."

"If I can get the cooperation of Battalion Commander Ma, I will be more confident."

"Brother Zhuoyan, after this battle is over, I'm afraid you will become a brigade commander. Among our younger generation, you are the one!" Although Wu worked hard to train him, he didn't dare to encourage him, so he could only let him accept training step by step.

The last time he caught Mi Zhenbiao, he showed his face to Old Wu and was promoted to deputy battalion commander. As long as he practiced a bit, he would be able to skyrocket.

"Don't worry, there will be more opportunities to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield in the future. Last time I caught Mi Zhenbiao, this time I caught He Tianjiong."

"Brother Zhuoyan, when did you give the order to launch an attack? Everyone is a little impatient. It's really annoying to let those bastards be arrogant."

"Don't worry, the little Zhuanghe can't support so many soldiers at all. They will definitely be dispatched in the near future. As long as this gang of mobs are dispatched, they will show their flaws. It will be easy for us to deal with them. What we have to do now It’s just waiting for the opportunity to kill with one blow.”

The matter was exactly as Zhang Tinglan judged. Zhuanghe was not big at all, but thousands of soldiers flooded in all of a sudden, and the inside and outside of the city were full. The people complained a lot.

Moreover, they also asked He Tianjiong for military pay, cotton-padded clothes, and opium.Although He Tianjiong begged a lot of money from Okura Kihachiro, he couldn't spend it casually. He still wanted to occupy the whole of southern Liaoning.

He had to find Gu Renyi to discuss carefully, and the two decided to leave 1000 guards in Zhuanghe, and then personally lead an army of [-] to attack Donggang, and then use Donggang as a base to attack Dandong and Fengcheng in the north.

This battle plan was also approved by Zhuangfan, and the two men immediately led the soldiers to start the operation. Three thousand soldiers left Zhuanghe and went straight north.

"Zhuoyan, He Tianjiong and the others have acted and led [-] soldiers to attack Donggang."

Zhang Tinglan stared at the map, looked carefully, and then said: "Lin Ge, since they have acted, we can't be idle. You see how we can arrange it."

"Originally, we lacked mobility and had some troubles. Now with the help of Commander Ma, everything is much easier. I think we will take the main force to assist Donggang and try to get outside Donggang, and wipe out He Tianjiong and the others in one fell swoop. Battalion Commander Ma led his cavalry to attack Zhuanghe and cut off their retreat, so that He Tianjiong's troops would collapse without a fight."

Zhang Tinglan looked at the map again, thought about Yang Yuting's battle plan carefully, and there were no loopholes, so he basically agreed.

Just when they dispatched troops and generals.Zhang Tinglan frowned, there was always something wrong in her heart.

"Ning Ge. Let's think about it differently. If you were Japanese, would you still support the Revolutionary Party at this time?"

Yang Yuting also hesitated, thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid not, since the Zongsha Party is finished. The foundation of the Revolutionary Party in the Northeast is not as good as the Zongshi Party, and the people under it are even more rabble. The party hides first. Wait for a better opportunity instead of acting recklessly."

"Ningge, since you think it's all reckless, wouldn't the Japanese not think of it? Although they are fanatical, they are not idiots!"

"Zhuoyan, what do you mean by that?"

"Ning Ge, I think there is some negligence on our part. Since the Japanese dared to make the Revolutionary Party riot, they must have something to rely on. If we don't find out their backers, we will act rashly. I'm worried that there will be trouble."

Zhang Tinglan thought again and again, looked at the map repeatedly, his brows furrowed deeper, and he asked someone to call the staff officer Zhao Pei over.

"Staff Zhao, are you familiar with the situation in Donggang? Who is in charge of guarding here?"

Zhao Pei followed Ma Longtan for a long time, and knew all the people under Ma Longtan very well, so he said without hesitation: "Fang Wenhua's battalion is in charge of guarding Donggang. One battalion, there are nearly one regiment of defenders here, and there should be no problem dealing with thousands of mobs?"

Zhang Tinglan listened, nodded, and then asked, "Who is Fang Wenhua?"

"He is the younger brother of Fang Wendong, the deputy guard. Respect."

"Zhuoyan, you suddenly asked this. Could it be that you suspect that there will be a loophole on the side of the guard?" Yang Yuting asked in surprise.

Zhang Tinglan sighed, and said: "Things are abnormal, even if Ma Longtan is dissatisfied with our coming, he will not be so indifferent, especially since the properties of the Qing nobles are being cleared everywhere, only the east There is minimal movement."

Zhang Tinglan's reminder made Yang Yuting wake up like a dream, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Humble words are reasonable, there is no need for Ma Longtan to struggle with money, he is not rich, logically speaking, he will not refuse this windfall of."

Ma Longtan's various actions were indeed a bit suspicious. The more Yang Yuting thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Maybe they really overlooked something.

"Ling Ge, it's useless for us to think wildly here, no matter what, even if we rely on our own strength, we must put down this gang of gangsters, and let the heavens have a bright future."

Zhang Tinglan randomly ordered all Fengjun soldiers to mobilize, and Ma Zhanshan and Wu Kaijie commanded a battalion of cavalry to attack Zhuanghe.

"Brother Zhuoyan, I'm not afraid to fight, but it's still a bit difficult to attack a city with only cavalry."

"Don't worry, as long as you reach Zhuanghe, there will be someone in the city to meet you, and there is absolutely no difficulty in occupying the county."

Wu Kaijie also showed a smile on his face when he heard this: "It's Zhuge who dares to be humble, and there are tricks in his pocket, so I can rest assured."

Zhang Tinglan grabbed him and called Ma Zhanshan over: "Battlemaster Ma, Brother Wu, you must not be careless. The Revolutionary Party is a bunch of mobs, but the Japanese are standing behind them, and this is the real trouble." , you can’t take it lightly. And after the recovery of Zhuanghe, you must hold on to it no matter what, no matter how you face anyone, you can’t back down in any way.”

"Head Zhang, is there any bad news?" Ma Zhanshan asked in surprise.

"It's just a bad hunch, so be careful."

"Head Zhang, don't worry, no matter what happens, as long as Ma Zhanshan weighs more than 100 kilograms, Zhuanghe will definitely be able to hold on."

Ma Zhanshan and Wu Kaijie left with their troops. Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting also directed their subordinates to rush towards Donggang. They used the fastest speed along the way and did not dare to carry anything.

Seeing that Donggang was ahead, the investigating soldiers suddenly ran over in a panic.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the army of the Revolutionary Party has successfully entered Zhuanghe a few hours ago."

"Is there no resistance?"

"No, I asked the people around, and they said that there was no sign of fighting. It seems that the defenders of Donggang took the initiative to take the rebels in."

Both Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting's eyes flashed with astonishment. They were afraid that the last thing they wanted to see happened. Ma Longtan's subordinates really had a problem.

At this time, the staff officer Zhao Pei also ran over, his face full of panic: "Commander Zhang, the situation is not good. Fang Wenhua has declared an uprising and joined the army of the Revolutionary Party. What should we do?" (to be continued) ..)
