Chapter 121: Xueliang Goes to School
After "deceiving" the Central Military and Central Military Organizations to expand 10 battalions, Zhang Zuolin had three more regiments of men and horses in addition to the 27th Division. Because he didn't have a number, he was temporarily hung as his guard brigade. His equipment and manpower are more and better than Feng Delin, and he also occupies the name of "boss", and he will never suffer a loss if he really fights. The reason why he has endured until now is mainly because he is afraid of killing 10,000 enemies and losing 7,000 to himself, so that the warlords of Ji and Hei provinces will take advantage of him, and he understands this truth.
Zhang Hanqing only said quietly: "Father don't worry, Feng Delin has turned his back on the central government, also known as under his father." In his way of doing things, not only the people of Fengtian thought that his father was reasonable and cultivated, but even his subordinates surnamed Feng couldn't look at it. It stands to reason that he is no match for his father. As long as he is still under his father's command, there are many opportunities to get rid of him in the future. At present, the most urgent task is to sort out the military and civil affairs of Fengtian. As long as you firmly control Fengtian, I am afraid that his twenty-eighth division will fly away! ”
In history, these schemes were all come up by Zhang Zuolin himself, and there is no credit for the "young marshal". However, crossing the river by feeling the stones, and crossing the river with the stones, the feeling is definitely different!
He smiled slightly, giving Zhang Zuolin a mysterious feeling: "Fortunately, the personnel arrangements of the provincial and municipal governments have been put in place in the near future, and there is no need to change them in the short term; As for the military expenses of the Guards Brigade, as long as I am given a buffer for a while, I have my own way. Without Fengtian's finances, the surname Feng naturally has nothing to say, and the money for his expansion of seven battalions naturally does not come from Fengtian's finances. ”
Since beating Zhang Xueliang's serial tactics, he has gained both strength (promotion and expansion of the army) and popularity (even Duan Zhigui still remembers the goodness of the person who drove him to the beginning), so that his attitude towards his young eldest son is more and more like the commander to the military advisor, not just the relationship between father and son. He looked at Zhang Hanqing in amazement and asked in disbelief: "What is the way you can find a way to make money to support a brigade?" ”
You must know that you have racked your brains and struggled for more than ten years, and the strength of the division under your command, including the central government's appropriation, is still struggling. This little sixth son is ashamed to say that he has a way to support the Guards Brigade that is no less than two-thirds of his own strength, bragging, right? It's really so simple, I'm living on a dog at my age!
But looking at the determined gaze of his eldest son, Zhang Zuolin couldn't help but believe it. This little six ghosts have a lot of ideas, you see that he is young, but he is like a fish in water in Beijing, it is all because of his foolishness, so that Zhou Xuexi and Liang Shiyi took the lead in investing in Fengtian, attracting financial resources; He also relied on his guidance to deceive a large number of covetous arms from Lao Yuan, who was the most shrewd king in the world! The most outrageous thing is that he slipped away from Lao Yuan's hands unharmed with just one click. If it was just a fluke escape, but thinking about his original arrangement, he had expected this day a few months ago.
Khan, only Zhang Hanqing knows that he is stained with the light of prophetic history!
Zhang Hanqing also woke up from the time traveler and correctly realized that the current China is not the time to imitate the so-called republic. Feng Delin's ability to recklessly not give face to his superiors is nothing more than someone relying on a gun. What is needed in a scattered China is centralization of power, and what is needed is a big warlord who can unify the whole country. Like the successive dynasties, what China needs is a strong government, a voice, and an army that only serves the central government. The direction of his current efforts should be to make his cheap dad more powerful, so as to achieve this goal. And at the age of 16, he also needs to make his voice heard at the right time. After all, he's not here for a vacation. In the long river of history, if you don't grasp the direction of the bow of the ship, you will be drowned by the big waves.
In his previous life, Zhang Hanqing was good at the general political trend and historical development, but his understanding of military knowledge was limited to reading magazines such as "Ship Knowledge" and "Weapon Knowledge", or on Sina.com and a group of angry young people who dominated the world. The times are different, and advanced military literacy is not necessarily suitable for the army of backward times. Occasionally, a novel idea may make people feel empowered, but if you just talk about it and ignore the status quo, you run the risk of falling into words.
Besides, he himself only received two months of military training in high school and college, and his military knowledge can only be "propagated" from a commanding height, and if he personally comes to impart the so-called "military thinking of the new era," it will be a bit too much to think of himself. In a word, it can only be retreating, not real. There is still self-knowledge of this.
But he knew that leading troops was not as simple as in the movie, when the commander waved his pistol and shouted, "Brothers, follow me", the whole division and the whole regiment charged into battle to take down the opponent in one fell swoop. Logistics, supplies, training, communications, equipment, and ideology must be taken care of everywhere, and the infantry, artillery, horse, engineering, and baggage arms use a game of chess together; laymen leading insiders are the source of defeat, and there have been many cases in history where the situation of victory or defeat has been reversed due to the difference of one thought. In the future, although we can strategically despise the enemy, we must pay more attention to the enemy tactically. If you don't know a little knowledge, it's hard to be a nest of bears when the time comes.
If you have nothing to do, you can first go to Fengtian to teach martial arts to learn from experience, and then by the way, you can investigate the situation of the modern army. Moreover, proper military training can exercise a good body, and when you encounter Duan Hongye's apprentices, you won't be stunned (of course, there is no chance in this life), at least you have a lot of strength when you pick up girls, right?
When Zhang Hanqing proposed to Zhang Zuolin to try to manage the army, as an old marshal who crawled out of the pile of dead people, of course he was willing. This family property will belong to his son in the future, and it is of course a good thing that his son is willing to take it over.
But when Zhang Hanqing proposed to learn to lead the troops in the martial arts hall first, Zhang Zuolin was taken aback, and his son himself knew that although Zhang Hanqing had suffered a little when he was a child, with the rise of his position, his living conditions have also risen, and there have been many sloppy styles in his behavior. Although he has many amazing talents recently, the nature of a young man in his bones makes his words not necessarily credible, and he is not hot-headed.
Knowing his son's impulsive personality, Zhang Zuolin pretended to be very surprised and said, "What? You want to go to the martial arts hall? Don't embarrass me, you can't go for a few days, you can't do it, and you come out again, isn't that embarrassing me? ”
Zhang Hanqing was provoked by his father and couldn't help but say: "People can, they can do it, why can't I do it?" ”
Zhang Zuolin said: "Okay, if you can graduate from the martial arts hall, I will give you a head when you come out." ”
Zhang Hanqing Yile, hey, you don't need to be excited, I just wanted to learn something, otherwise how could I mix in this troubled world? After a year and a half, I have gained knowledge in the army, and I can also get a regiment commander for nothing. In later generations, this regiment commander would have to be a colonel. According to the county-level statement, the elder brother is also a department-level cadre at the local level.
And he knew very well that the old-style army could not support the task of transforming the country, and he had to choose people to make good use of them and make a good use of them, and this premise was to find some like-minded officers.
Please will, excite the general, it is better to calculate. In this way, Zhang Hanqing entered the Fengtian Jiangwutang Artillery Department to study and became the first batch of students of the Jiangwutang Artillery.
Artillery is known as the "king of the army", and the love of the Chinese army for firepower projection has never deviated in later generations. Zhang Hanqing knew that the Chinese army, which lacked heavy artillery and other weapons in the official history, was tragic in the face of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army used its second-rate or even third-rate army, sometimes only one division or brigade, to rampage on the land of China, isn't it just relying on its strong firepower? In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the national army of several armies often could not eat the Japanese army or even a large brigade.
And the former Feng army was conditioned to compete with the Japanese army. The only arsenal in China that can autonomous mortars is in Mukden, and the army with a relatively complete divisional artillery regiment is the Fengjun, and the year of making its own 122mm ** gun is also very high. All this means that in fact, Fengjun has a fairly good foundation, and I believe that with him, this foundation will definitely be solidified.
Then, it is necessary to be familiar with the performance of artillery and the training of artillery, so that you can become a qualified commander in modern warfare. With such an idea, Zhang Hanqing decided to systematically study artillery.
In those days, although joining the army was not a very noble profession, officers were an exception. However, this justifiable young marshal was directly appointed as a senior senator of the Fengtian General Administration, with the rank of major and assistant in military affairs. Jokes, a dignified young marshal can't start with a small soldier.
So among the students who studied in the Fengtian Lecture Martial Arts Hall, a very young and handsome face was newly transferred to the class. You must know that Zhang Hanqing at this time is just 16 years old. If it weren't for the fact that the living conditions were far better than those of the average student sergeant, this face would have been a little more abruptly young.
When they learned that the boy who ate and slept with him turned out to be the young marshal of the Great Marshal's Mansion, some old Fengjun officers were a little disdainful: "It's here to gild, so that there will be a good reason for promotion." However, there are also many people who are eager in their eyes---- after all, he is a young marshal, and the conditions are unique, and he is close to the water and the moon first. If you can get close, you just need to show a little bit of your mouth from time to time in the handsome, and the promotion to the rank of lord is just around the corner.
However, the student army of the same period had fewer scruples, and the young people were already less afraid of authority, and they could talk freely about various ideas. Of course, they were also amazed by the hard work and intelligence of the young marshal, and of course the young marshal also showed his usual respect for his colleagues, which made him have a high prestige especially among his students in the same year.
Zhang Hanqing's study and training are indeed very hard, without him, the enemy on the battlefield will not open up because you are the son of a handsome, and the officers and soldiers under your hands will not let others fall to the ground as soon as the spirit of the king is like that written in some time-traveling novels. The army has always been the most realistic, the most admired strong, without a certain influence, the chain will definitely drop at critical moments.
