Fengxian Jiangshan

Speaking of it, Yuan Shikai was unlucky enough. He originally had high hopes for Zhang Zuolin and hoped that Lao Zhang would lead his subordinates into the pass, but instead of expecting Zhang Zuolin to come, he hoped for a rebellion. The chaos in southern Liaoning meant to Lao Yuan It was like a heavy punch, hitting the heart.

If Feng Tianzhen fell into the hands of the Japanese, all the land outside the customs would be over, and Beijing would suddenly become a border. This situation would be similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, but Japan, the opponent, would be much more brutal and powerful than the Manchu Qing.

Old Yuan was terrified, but fortunately Zhang Zuolin was fast enough, Feng Jun used his troops with great speed, and completely wiped out the rebels.Lao Yuan let go of his hanging heart, but he still couldn't bear the pressure, internal and external difficulties, north and south restlessness, the emperor's sweet dream could not go on.

I could only find Duan Qirui and ask the old Duan to come forward to clean up the situation for him. Duan Qirui was surprised when he saw the old Yuan's aging appearance. In a few months, Yuan Shikai seemed to be 20 years old. Looking back Duan Qirui also had red eye circles when recalling the friendship in Xiaozhan training back then.

"Zhiquan, I mistakenly believed in slander and took a wrong step to reach this stage. Now I have come to my senses. I am not the emperor, but continue to be the president. Do you think so?"

Seeing old Yuan Yuan's desolate and pleading eyes, Duan Qirui felt sore in his heart, but he didn't dare to take it all in, he just said: "President, don't worry, I will try my best to deal with the humble officials!"

Zhang Tinglan heard the news of old Yuan, and also knew that Yuan Shikai, a hero, was about to come to an end after his 83-day Xinhua Spring Dream, and China had completely entered the era of spring and autumn melee.Now his father, Zhang Zuoxiang, is the guardian envoy of Dongfang Dao, holding a small half of Fengtian in his hand, so he can be regarded as a small prince.

However, the two of them did not dare to relax at all. On the contrary, the burden on their shoulders was still very heavy.Dongbiandao had just experienced a rebellion, and there were scattered rebels everywhere, and many bandits also took the opportunity to jump out to make trouble, and the two of them were a little overwhelmed.

"Father, I think that in the future, the East Road will have two key defenses. One is to target Lushun and Dalian, and the other is to target along the Yalu River. Over the years, many North Koreans have crossed the Yalu River and went to the three eastern provinces to open up wasteland and farm land. Branches and leaves spread. The scale is getting bigger and bigger, we have to guard against it!"

The Yalu River is different from the rivers in the south. There is a freezing period every year. The ice surface with a thickness of several meters can not only bear people, but even vehicles.The border residents of the two sides have frequent exchanges.The three northeastern provinces are considered to be the rare black land suitable for farming in the world, coupled with the blockade policy of the Manchurian willow twigs.This makes it the last piece of virgin land in China.

As a result, the Han people could not come.Bangzi took advantage of the gap and opened up wasteland in the three eastern provinces, even to the point where there were many sticks in Fengtian. Although Zhang Tinglan drove Fengtian's sticks out, there were still many sticks near the border. They even formed a Villages one by one.

Every winter.And Bangzi came to Fengtian one after another on the ice. Zhang Tinglan didn't have a good opinion of these annoying guys.Fengtian must establish a tight blockade along the Yalu River, not just to keep the stick out.At the same time, we must guard against Japanese spies sneaking over, and prevent Bangzi from treating the Northeast as their territory in the future.

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded slightly: "Indeed, after this incident, the Japanese's wolfish ambitions have been clearly revealed, and we should strengthen our defenses, but I'm afraid it's not easy to set up defenses along the Yalu River. This place is all mountainous, sparsely populated, and everywhere. They are all wolves, tigers and leopards, and it would cost too much to garrison troops, we cannot afford it."

"Father, we captured a total of seven or eight thousand prisoners in this counter-rebellion, and let these guys atone for their crimes, and sent them all over to reclaim land and build roads. Changbai Mountain has a lot of good wood, good medicinal materials, and various Rare birds and animals have great economic value. As long as we make a start, the common people will pour in automatically, and after we have villages and towns, it will be much easier for us to garrison troops.”

"Well, since you have an idea, go ahead and do it. If you get results, I'll celebrate you. If something goes wrong, I'll spank your ass!"

Speaking of Zhang Zuoxiang also showed a cheerful smile. With a capable son, he can worry less. Zhang Zuoxiang does not have much desire for power. He is very satisfied with his current status. The only hope is that his son can achieve success. Can shine on the lintel.

"Father, after all, there is still a lack of people in the border areas. Fengtian will have to immigrate in large numbers in the next step. The black land under our feet is the most fertile. There is no problem at all to support 3000 to [-] million people. As the saying goes, more people are more powerful, and we have enough manpower. , it will be easier to deal with the Japanese.”

"Ting Lan, the Japanese have to be on guard, but they can't make their swords tense. After all, their strength is not comparable to ours. Sometimes we have to endure it. We are not afraid of suffering a little loss now. As long as we can get it back later, we will be fine." .”

While the two were discussing things, Yang Yuting rushed back from Zhuanghe.Just after Nakamura suffered a stroke, Oshima Inuichiro and his men withdrew back to Lushun in desperation, and the Japanese from the other two brigades had to go back just as they were halfway there.

Yang Yuting watched the Japanese bring a large number of carriages, he knew very well that most of them were munitions, and Yang Yuting couldn't help coveting, if this could get into the hands of Feng Jun, it would be a huge blow to Feng Jun's strength Ascension, this is also a disease inherited from staying with Zhang Tinglan for a long time. Whenever I see something good, I want to get it.

But Yang Yuting was very clear-headed, the five or six hundred Japanese soldiers were not easy to deal with, and even if they could be dealt with, they would provoke even greater revenge from the Japanese.

"Zhuoyan, the commander-in-chief has given me an order to return to Fengtian to deal with my errands. I wonder if you have anything else to say?"

Yang Yuting is still the Chief of Staff of the Fengjun Army, and Lao Zhang's right-hand man is not an official of the East Road, so returning to Fengtian is the right thing to do.Zhang Tinglan really wanted him to report something to Lao Zhang, so he dragged Yang Yuting to Zhang Zuoxiang's office. After the two parties sat down, Zhang Zuoxiang spoke first.

"Ling Ge, this time the Eastern Dao has pacified the rebel army, but to defend the place well, a large number of troops are needed, and two regiments alone will not be able to do it!"

What Zhang Zuoxiang said was the truth. Because of Fang Wendong's rebellion, most of the Dongbian Dao army was involved, and this kind of army could not be used at all.Zhang Tinglan is already preparing to send them to the border area of ​​the Yalu River as hard labor and use labor to atone for their sins.

The rest of the swaying grass must also be cleaned up. Since he started training the independent brigade, Zhang Zuoxiang's vision has become higher and higher. If you want an army to have combat effectiveness, the source of troops is the foundation. The old army must not use it.

At present, there are only two regiments that can be used by Dongfangdao, which is definitely not enough.Yang Yuting is also very aware of this.

"Guardian, how do you think the troops should be adjusted?"

"Linge, the commander-in-chief doesn't have enough troops. I think I'll bring the second brigade of the security division over here for training in Fengcheng. Let them familiarize themselves with the geography, and then prepare the artillery and cavalry. In this way, it is almost enough to guard the east road."

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I think the artillery will use all the Japanese [-]-style mountain cannons. This time we have captured enough, so we will directly pull out an artillery regiment."

"Zhuoyan, how do I remember that only eighteen gates were seized? Could it be that Fengcheng has another harvest?"

"The Japanese Fang Wendong is pretty good. I found twelve doors in his hands, and found six more in the arsenal. They were bought by Ma Longtan before. Adding up all of them, there are a total of 36 doors, exactly one There are twelve battalions. It can equip three battalions and one regiment."

The Liaodong area and the Changbai Mountain area have rugged terrain and many mountains. It is better for the artillery to be nimble and light. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan did not have [-] artillery pieces in a battalion like Beiyang, but only equipped with [-] artillery pieces.

"This Fang Wendong acted as a transporter for nothing, and it's all at our advantage." Yang Yuting asked again: "What about the cavalry?"

"I'm thinking about promoting Ma Zhanshan one step higher and making him the commander of the cavalry, as a mobile force to guard the safety of the place.

"Humble words, Ma Zhanshan is Wu Junsheng's favorite general. I think you have to figure out whether he can give up his love."

"No problem, at worst, let Uncle Wu set a price, I admit that I will bleed profusely!"

A good thing made Zhang Tinglan say it as if he was buying and selling people, Yang Yuting and Zhang Zuoxiang couldn't help laughing.

The garrison division was originally expanded from an independent brigade. There was a huge shortage of troops, and there were only two infantry brigades. This time, the cavalry and artillery were supplemented, and then the engineering, communication and medical teams were added. If you are in your early years, you can basically compete with the few townspeople in Old Beiyang.

Although the artillery of the garrison division may be a bit thin, the number of machine guns is quite large, which can guarantee each company a heavy machine gun, and Zhang Tinglan has formed another machine gun company.

A well-organized garrison division can definitely be compared with the 27th division. It can be called the first-class elite force of Fengjun. With this unit in hand, the strength of Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan's father and son can almost compete with Zhang Zuolin. The well-deserved number two among them.

As the chief of staff of Lao Zhang, Yang Yuting had to think from Lao Zhang's point of view. He said to Zhang Tinglan, "My words, after I return to Fengtian, I must pay close attention to the regularization of the army. I will reopen the lecture hall. Everyone in the army must go to the lecture hall to study, and you, the commander-in-chief, personally roll your name, so there is no exception."

"Don't worry, Lin Ge, not only me, but also other officers of the garrison division have to study again. As long as this place is stable, I will put on my schoolbag and go to school honestly. Not only do I need to study, I also suggest that the officers should be educated. With proper rotation, any commander should have a strong ability to adapt, and can't just guard his own one-acre three-point land."

Zhang Tinglan's words are equivalent to clarifying the matter, there is no need to worry about our strength increasing, we are still very loyal to the commander-in-chief, there is no problem.Yang Yuting is also very relieved that Fengjun is still in a period of rapid rise, and the worst thing is internal fighting. Only when everyone thinks in one place and works hard in one place can Fengjun truly prosper.

After Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan discussed it properly, they set off to rush back to Fengtian. After sending Yang Yuting away, Fengcheng ushered in a group of new guests. Xiong Mengyuan brought a large group of Russian technicians to Fengcheng.

They were originally assigned to Tieling, but there are still many Japanese spies along the Nanman Railway.Moreover, Fengcheng has just experienced a big battle, and there are a lot of ordnance that need to be repaired, and the frontier defense task here is very heavy, so it is very helpful to arrange the ordnance repair factory here.

Of course, Lao Zhang also has his own calculations. The ordnance factory is placed under Zhang Tinglan's nose, so he is not afraid that he will not work hard to find a way to solve the problem of the machine. It's done.

"Mr. Zhang, along the way, I saw newspapers talking about you, you use soldiers like a god, and the rebels are wiped out in a single blow!"

"Old Xiong, your beard level has risen very quickly, don't look at this set of things, it's not practical."

"Look at what you said, am I, Xiong Mengyuan, that kind of person? This time I will let you see our results."

While talking, Xiong Mengyuan brought Zhang Tinglan to a special room. In front of Zhang Tinglan were two pistols with a metallic texture, and Zhang Tinglan's eyes lit up immediately. (To be continued..)
