According to the opinion of most of the military and political leaders of the Feng department, the first thing for the Feng army was to enter the Guannei, and the bitter cold land of Mongolia did not arouse their interest.

This is understandable, after all, a group of big bosses can't foresee the changes in a few decades.

However, Zhang Hanqing single-handedly rebuked the public opinion, and strongly advocated that the Inner Army must first fight for the outside world: Now that the Russian White Army and the Red Army are both caught in the civil war of the Soviet Union and have no time to take care of Outer Mongolia, the Feng Army took advantage of this moment to recover Outer Mongolia in one fell swoop. Perhaps it can deter those militarist opportunists who are lucky with Chinese territory---- in history, and it is true that hundreds of soldiers of the Kwantung Army first tentatively attacked the Beida Camp in the history of the September 18 Incident, but they succeeded in not resisting.

Moreover, at this time, Mongolia was still a part of the Republic of China de jure in theory, and it was inconvenient for Soviet Russia to express its position on his actions, and on the other hand, it was beyond its strength, which was like encountering an opponent whose hands and feet were tied during a boxing match. Another advantage is that Outer Mongolia is a vast territory, bordering Chahar, Suiyuan, Ningxia, Gansu and Xinjiang, which were later the "four provinces of Saibei", and can bypass the powerful Anhui and Zhili regions to develop into the hinterland of China. Although there are warlords there, their strength is weak, and the Feng army can easily gain control and expand their territory.

As a later generation, Zhang Hanqing did not think that Outer Mongolia was a Gobi Desert, which had no use value except for its vast geographical location. In his incomplete memory of his previous life, Mongolia has a forest coverage rate of 10% and a total timber stock of 1.27 billion cubic meters; Outer Mongolia is one of the world's three major animal husbandry countries; it is rich in mineral resources; according to the geographical location and conditions of gold mining, the Tula River Basin is considered to be one of the world's largest sand and gold producing areas, and the copper-molybdenum mine has been listed as one of the world's top ten copper-molybdenum mines, ranking first in Asia; in addition, there are huge reserves of coal, iron, phosphorus, oil, rare earths, etc., which are even richer than Inner Mongolia (in terms of geological plate tectonics, Inner Mongolia and Mongolia both belong to the Mongolian massif, including northern Shaanxi), look at the rich mineral resources of northern Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia, you will know how rich Mongolia's mineral resources are.

It's a gem!

At this time, the civil war between the Russian Red Army and the White Army ended less than a year later, and after two years of brewing, the Soviet Union was established in 1922 across the Eurasian continent, and from then on the road to strength. If we do not use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely solve the Outer Mongolia issue, once Soviet Russia eases up and regains its desire to covet Mongolia, if there is an accident, it will really be doomed to the Chinese nation.

At Zhang Hanqing's strong request, on July 25, the Autonomous Government of the Northeast United Province sent a telegram to the whole country, demanding that the Chinese Government denounce the independence of Outer Mongolia and order the Autonomous Government of Outer Mongolia to abolish its autonomy and return to the embrace of China on the basis of the document "64 Articles for Improving Mongolia's Future Status".

The "parliament" of Outer Mongolia, which was controlled by Soviet Russia, ignored it, but voted three days after the telegram was turned on and rejected it by the majority of parliamentarians, refusing to recognize the "64 Articles for Improving Mongolia's Future Status." This move angered the autonomous government of the Northeast United Province and made the results public, so the whole country was in an uproar and the masses were outraged.

On July 29, Zhang Hanqing sent a telegram from Shenyang to take the oath and issued an oath to the whole country: "Those who offend me and are strong will be punished even if they are far away." He personally established the "Anmeng Army" with the Jiyiqiao Special Operations Brigade, Guo Songling's Guard Division, and Han Linchun's First Division as the team. Zhang Hanqing was appointed commander of the "Anmeng Army," with Han Linchun as deputy commander, Guo Songling as chief of staff, and Wang Yizhe as director of the Political Department.

Considering that Mongolia was too far away, Guo Songling brought an additional 3,000 war horses after replenishing supplies in Hailar, and the explanation to the outside world was that it was convenient to replenish supplies in Mongolia. Sun Liechen supplemented a special cavalry brigade of about 6,000 people, and Zhang Zuoxiang also transferred 18 mountain artillery pieces that had just left the Shenyang Arsenal and equipped an independent artillery battalion as his firepower reinforcement, so that the strength of the "Anmeng Army" rapidly expanded to more than 40,000 people. Compared with Xu Shuzheng, who was 8 months later in the official history, it only took 8,000 people to sweep away the independence forces of Outer Mongolia, and his far more people could not achieve this effect, and he was ashamed to death.

The reason why so many troops are used is actually because Zhang Zuolin wants to "finish his work in one battle", kill chickens with knives, and reduce accidents, and Zhang Hanqing also has the idea of taking the opportunity to stand on his own because of the unsatisfactory military development in the northeast.

Considering the remoteness of Mongolia and the subsequent plan that the army would use troops in northwest China, the importance of logistical supply was self-evident. Mi Chunlin, military commissar of the Central Committee of the People's Party and head of the General Quartermaster Department, was appointed commander of the "Anmeng Army" rear route army, and was also in charge of logistics.

The decision has been made to reopen the base area, and the arrangements for the left-behind personnel need to be carefully considered. In terms of military affairs, with the departure of Guo Songling, Han Linchun, Ji Yiqiao, Wang Yizhe and other main cadres, it was enough to leave Lin Wei in charge of military and intelligence in the "Young Marshal's Office", and Zhang Hanqing also left him a task to conduct a feasibility study on the Northeast Navy; In terms of party affairs, Zhu Guangmu as his own adjutant is to follow him, after Wang Yizhe and Zhu Guangmu left, there are only three left, Wu Jiaxiang, Han Shuxiu, and Jiang Dengxuan, and Jiang Dengxuan is still his own business as a candidate to replace Zhang Zuoxiang as the commander of the 27th Division---- he needs to maintain his voice in the northeast, since it is time-consuming and laborious to pull a team again, why not take over this army directly? Because Zhang Zuoxiang has expressed his opinion on stepping down as the division commander to Zhang Zuolin many times because he holds many positions, Jiang Dengxuan, who is Zhang Hanqing's descendant, has a great chance, and he has long been favored by Zhang Zuolin.

Wu and Han could not bear the burden of so many party members and party organizations in Northeast China, and the two of them, one focused on discipline supervision and the other focused on the women's movement, and they were not familiar with the handling of party affairs. And with such a strong family background, the two of them can't be stopped, this is Zhang Hanqing's capital and future development capital!

So Mo Dehui was appointed to replace Jiang Dengxuan as the head of the organization, Chen Bui officially took over as the propaganda minister, and the two were promoted to the secretary of the secretariat at the same time. The affairs of the People's Party in Northeast China were entrusted to Wu Jiaxiang, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Mo Dehui, the new director of the Organization Department, Han Shuxiu, secretary general of the Land Reform Commission and director of the Women's Games, Jiang Dengxuan, who was about to take up his post in the military, and Chen Bui, the new director of the Propaganda Department, with Chen Bui taking full responsibility. In addition, because Wang Yizhe followed the first division of Anmeng, the secretary of the Hei Provincial Party Committee was also placed in his deputy.

Chen Bui had a sense of mission for himself to obtain the special experience of the young marshal in such a short period of time and had a sense of mission of "the soldier dies for the confidant", and in return, he took the initiative to move his family to Shenyang to show his intention to work together with the young marshal. Mo Dehui also officially squeezed into the core of the People's Party, and his important position as the head of the organization department and secretary of the Jilin Provincial Party Committee fully demonstrated the young marshal's trust in him, so he was even more gracious.

A little unhappy was Tan Hai, as one of the closest people to Zhang Hanqing's side, he was asked to stay in charge of the security work of the Marshal's Mansion, while Jiang Huanan was able to follow Zhang Hanqing as the head of the guard as he wished. Because Zhang Zuolin's safety has always been arranged by Zhang Hanqing, and now that he is gone, he needs a competent person to take over his duties.
