Chapter 123: Profit from chaos

A battle was thrilling, and Ge Yunfei's performance not only made Zhang Zuolin highly praised, but the officers and soldiers of the guard even bowed to him. Pen~fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Zuolin ordered to continue the journey, and at this time a cavalry unit came from the east side, and from a distance, the cavalry on the horse was wearing the military uniform of the national government. "Dashuai, it's your own people!" One of his subordinates lowered his binoculars and said. In front of everyone's eyes, this cavalry force of more than 1,000 people shook the mountains and rushed forward. The cavalry reined in their horses, and the first officer jumped off his horse and ran over.

"Xiaguan meets General Zhang!" The officer clasped his hands into fists in salute. "It's Captain Wang, and you're also here to suppress the bandits?" "Returning to General Zhang, the prince of Horqin Wutai of Mongolia, united with the princes of Eastern Mongolia to rebel. General Wu led his troops to defeat Utai, and Utai led the remnants to flee to Manchuria. Division Commander Meng (Meng Enyuan, Jilin Protector and concurrently the commander of the 23rd Division of the Nationalist Government) ordered our troops to attack and intercept the remnants of Wutai. Could it be that General Zhang is also here to quell the rebellion? "What are we doing here if we don't counter the rebellion, our department has just defeated a group of bandits!"

"General Zhang, I will take my leave with the heavy responsibility of the next official!" The cavalry commander surnamed Wang clenched his fists and mounted his horse and led his subordinates to roar away. "This time, the big tongue of the counterinsurgency is shaking, this kid is lucky!" Zhang Zuolin had a jealous expression on his face. The troops continued to be on the road, and Ge Yunfei said with a wit: "Big brother, Lord Zhang has a good personal relationship with you, and now Lord Zhang has been promoted to the west of the three eastern provinces to proclaim and appease the envoy, and command the suppression of bandits in the three eastern provinces, this is a great opportunity!" Zhang Zuolin's eyes rolled and he said.

"Brother Ge means to use Lord Zhang to persuade Song Dudu to take the opportunity to plan that treasure land?" "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, the opportunity cannot be missed, and it can be solved in one fell swoop while the chaotic situation is in place." "It's not right, let's find a reason!" "I've figured out why, that treasure land is borderless nowadays, and no one cares. The eldest brother can do it in one fell swoop on the grounds of running a military horse farm. The Mongol prince rebelled, and it was imperative to strengthen the border defense. The eldest brother proposed to run a military horse farm, and Song Xiaolian, the governor of Heilongjiang, would mistakenly think it was Zhang Xiluan's meaning! ”

"But Song Xiaolian asked Lord Zhang how to do it?" "Big brother, you didn't name you, even if Lord Zhang knew about this, he could only think that you were greedy and would not blame you. Moreover, the operation of the military horse farm is a move to strengthen border defense, and Lord Zhang will not object. "Ge Yunfei knows that Song Xiaolian has a bad relationship with the Russians and will be transferred next year." "What my brother said makes sense, we'll check that treasure land when we come back, and we'll go straight to Qiqihar."

Qiqihar City is the seat of the Heilongjiang General's Mansion and the important place of the former dynasty to administer Longjiang Province. At the beginning of the Republic of China, Qiqihar was established to follow the former imperial governor's mansion and became the head organ of the management of Longjiang.

Hurry up, and two days later the troops arrived in Qiqihar. From a distance, Qiqihar City is vividly visible. Angangxi Station was built outside the city, and at this time a train left the station and headed for Harbin, with an unobstructed view of the humble station. The only thing that stands out is the station's towering water tower, which stands alone like a turret. In front of the Ying'en Gate of Qiqihar City, after the sentry standing guard finished negotiating, the troops entered the city.

After the troops entered the city, Zhang Zuolin ordered his subordinates to go to the military station to temporarily station, and then Zhang Zuolin, Ge Yunfei and the guards went to the Overseer's Mansion. Arriving at the Overseer's Mansion, when Zhang Zuolin negotiated with the sentinels, Ge Yunfei looked at the Overseer's Mansion (former General's Mansion) with great interest. I saw that the four standing stele buttresses were simple in shape, and the stele buttresses were connected by arched iron fences, which seemed to have a little charm of Western architecture. There are foot-high doorways on both sides of the ear doors, which are usually walked by men and soldiers. There is no gate at the main entrance, and it is usually for people of high status to enter and exit.

The arched iron fence above the main gate has 6 large black characters that are very eye-catching - Heilongjiang Governor's Mansion. Looking inside through the main entrance, you will be greeted by a bungalow, the eaves of which are supported by columns, and the characteristics of Chinese architecture are obvious. On the right side of the main entrance is the watchtower, the watchtower is very distinctive, the shape on it is a bit like a yurt, the watchtower is a 6-sided diamond-shaped, and there is a 6-sided diamond-shaped lookout on each side. There were three sentries standing guard just now, and there were only two people left, and apparently one of the sentries went in to report the news.

Ge Yunfei did some research before he came, and this was originally the private residence of the deputy capital of Qiqihar during the Jiaqing period, also known as the Lord's Mansion. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, when Cheng Dequan was acting governor of Heilongjiang, he began to build on the site of the mansion of the lord, and completed it in the later period of Zhou Shumo's tenure as governor of Heilongjiang. When Ge Yunfei was admiring, Song Xiaolian greeted him, "Haha, General Zhang, you are a rare guest, you are here to suppress bandits." "Lord Song, the lower officials want to suppress the bandits, but it is not my turn, Wu Da Tongue has already killed Wu Tai so that he can't find the north."

"Since General Zhang has no military affairs, why did he run to this desolate realm?" "Lord Song, Xia Guan is here to visit!" Song Xiaolian was a little surprised when he heard this, and his eyes looked at Ge Yunfei and said, "This young and handsome general seems to be a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere?" "This is the famous Shandong Overseer Ge Yunfei!" It turned out to be a young and talented General Ge, no wonder it was familiar, I had seen your photo in the newspaper. General Ge came to visit, the old man was deeply honored, the two generals please! ”

The guest and host entered the living room and sat down, and Song Xiaolian ordered his subordinates to serve tea. During this period, Ge Yunfei observed Song Xiaolian, with a wisp of goatee, sharp cheeks and a pointed chin, high cheekbones, and a pair of eyes that were very godly, which could be seen that this person had a stubborn and upright personality. "General Zhang, what are you doing to visit the old man this time, please speak up?" "Lord Song is refreshing, and I don't hide it. Although the Ukrainian-Thai rebellion was suppressed, it was urgent to strengthen border defenses. The lower officials are not talented, and they want to build a military horse farm in the area under the jurisdiction of adults to contribute to the defense of the border. ”

Zhang Zuolin's words are high-sounding, but Song Xiaolian has to be vigilant, after all, Zhang Zuolin's "character" is not very popular. Seeing that Song Xiaolian was puzzled, Ge Yunfei interjected: "Lord Song, the purpose of the lower officials coming to the Northeast this time is to visit the talents of the pillars. At that time, the following strong returned to serve, and the previous dynasty made the great rivers and mountains full of holes, and the country was not a country, and it was destined for the Qing court to step down. The Republic of China was first built, Vientiane was renewed, and all kinds of wastes were waiting to be rebuilt. As soldiers, defending the territorial integrity of the country is the unshirkable responsibility of our generation of soldiers. ”

"General Ge's talent, the old man has heard about it, and his words are in love, no wonder President Yuan appreciates the general!" "Lord Song has a good reputation, and you are the pillars of the country. According to the lower officials, Lord Song had a strong patriotic heart in his early years. For the safety of the border, Zeng took great pains to go to the Mohe Gold Mine in person, and negotiated with the Russians without fear of the people's lives. He condemned the Qing court's corrupt and incompetent behavior of handing over the land to others. The adult's "Accord City Nostalgia", its feelings of worrying about the country made the officials admire. ”

"General Ge is very good at talking, that's already a thing of the past!" Song Xiaolian is very useful. For this "pioneer" with deep patriotic feelings, Ge Yunfei's admiration arose, and he was obviously a little excited to stand up and say: "Lord Song, what the lower official said is from his heart. During his tenure as a Hulunbuir Taoist, Mr. Song personally inspected the 1,500-kilometer border. In particular, the Russians fought for the ownership of Manchuria, thwarted their position, and smashed the Russians' conspiracy to steal our territory. ”

"The old man, as a feudal official, is a duty." "Lord Song, this time I came to the Northeast just in time for the Wutai Rebellion. The subordinate officials talked with Lord Zhang all night, and Lord Zhang was very worried about consolidating the frontier. To tell the truth, General Zhang's preparation for the construction of a military horse farm was a suggestion of the lower officials, in order to create conditions for the establishment of a strong cavalry unit in the grassland area in the future. "General Ge deserves to be a young talent, and I am glad that there are successors to congratulate him." Obviously, Ge Yunfei's words that Zhang Xiluan talked about all night had an effect.

In addition, Ge Yunfei put a high hat on Song Xiaolian, implying that he was righteous and Lingran. Zhang Zuolin can't say these words, after all, Song Xiaolian is a civil official who reads poetry and books, and the literary style in Ge Yunfei's words is very good for Song Xiaolian to listen to. "Since General Zhang wants to build a military horse farm, the old man will help him with all his might, but there is one thing that cannot occupy the people's land." "Lord Song, this is a borderless land and belongs to official property." Ge Yunfei walked to the map and said, "Your Excellency, you see, this place is located in the southeast of Qiqihar, and this is a swampy area. ”

"Haha, General Zhang was very thoughtful, and the old man gave permission." Everything went smoothly and was happy, and Song Xiaolian set up a banquet to entertain the guests. A few days later, Zhang Zuolin handled the approval and pocketed the treasure land without spending a penny. This time, Zhang Zuolin saw the extraordinaryness of Ge Yunfei's other side, and admired it even more in his heart. On the day of departure, Song Xiaolian made an exception and sent him out of the city gate, and his love for Ge Yunfei made him reluctant, showing a strong friendship. Ge Yunfei knew in his heart that because of Song Xiaolian's toughness, the Russians put pressure on the government of the Republic of China, and he would be transferred out of this hot land next year.

The Great Northern Wilderness, is it really desolate? This magical treasure land, dotted with small lakes and puddles, dotted among the green grass, the scenery is particularly charming. The troops temporarily stationed in this treasure land, Zhang Zuolin ordered his subordinates to search, and found more than ten oil spots, Zhang Zuolin was convinced of Ge Yunfei's words. "Big brother, you are planning to build an office at Saltu Station, and all the equipment will be transported here from Saktu in the future, and a road from Saktu to here will be built as soon as possible."

"Brother Ge, you don't have to worry about this, I'll send someone to do it immediately!" "My people have already started negotiations with Citibank in Shanghai, and if it goes well, the American drilling team will arrive in Dalian by the end of the year. Taking advantage of the freezing season, we will try to transport the drilling equipment here by rail in the spring of next year. As for the preparation for the construction of an oil refinery in the future, I will plan and strive to produce oil in the year after tomorrow. "Brother Ge, your mood is more urgent than mine!" "Big brother, time is running out, is that a golden mountain, can you not be in a hurry?"

After the inspection, Ge Yunfei said that he was still unsatisfied with a rare trip and wanted to visit Harbin. The two parted ways, Zhang Zuolin was so satisfied that he led his troops back to Fengtian, and he was busy next. Ge Yunfei and two guards changed into civilian clothes, boarded a train in Saltu, and headed straight for Harbin.
