"He Tianci is ordered to suppress the bandits and horse thieves on both sides of the Liao River, and there must be no mistake in setting off immediately." On February 20, 1905, the dispatch order of General Shengjing Zengqi finally arrived.

Zeng Qi (1851-1919), the name Ruitang, Ilari clan, Manchuria inlaid with white flags. He used to be the deputy governor of Qiqihar. In the twenty-third year of Guangxu (1897), he was promoted to the general of Fuzhou, served as the Minister of Shipping, and concurrently served as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. In the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu (1898), he served as the general of Shengjing. In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu (1900), the Russian army captured Fengtian (now Liaoning), and he fled to Xinmin Hall. In the thirty-first year (1905), Ding Wei was dismissed. Later, under the coercion of the Russian army, he sent people to Lushun to draft the "Fengtian Temporary Regulations". After the incident, he was dismissed from his post and the "Constitution" was also annulled. Xuan remained in office. During his tenure, he recruited Zhang Zuolin.

At this time, there were dozens of bandits on both sides of the Liao River, large and small, such as Xinmin's Hou Lao Pimple, Fan Si and Fan Wu of Jinxi Red Snail Clams, Guchengzi Chang Mingxin, and Mongolian Baozi Shuyao. In addition, there are also Lu Haichuan, Fan Deshan, Emperor Li Er, and the Mongolian bandit 63 and other bandits.

As for the appearance of a large number of these bandits, we have to start with the Russo-Russian War, the Qing Dynasty maintained neutrality in the wars waged by foreigners on its own territory, and the vast number of people in the northeast could not get the protection of the political axe, and were allowed to be slaughtered by foreign invaders; in order to protect themselves and survive, they "rose up" and "lawlessly"; for a time, the "beards" in the northeast swarmed, and there were thousands of bandits of all sizes, and the number of bandits was as high as 10,000 or 100,000.

These bandits are openly committing crimes and endangering all sides. The Qing political axe has been encircled and suppressed several times, but because there are no effective people, they have not achieved results. At this time, Shengjing General Zengqi thought of Zhang Xiluan's son-in-law He Tianci, Shengjing General Zengqi had long been clear about He Tianci's relationship with the Russians, so He Tianci had to go this time.

After receiving the order, He Tianci dispersed the team, basically taking the battalion and company as a unit, and broke these small groups of bandits, because the main feature of these bandits is that the number is not large, but they are all in the form of stragglers, so they can only disperse the team for this kind of request.

In the next few days, the entire Wei [***] scattered on the various hills of Xinmin, encircling and suppressing these bandits, He Tianci's troops are not those Manchu corrupt Eight Banner soldiers and Green Battalion soldiers at the moment, most of them have fought with the devil and Lao Maozi, and the Russian-style equipment is fully armed, and the combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of the Russian soldiers.

Every time these soldiers go to a stronghold of the bandits, it is a burst of artillery, as soon as they show their heads, they use machine guns to strafe, and each of them is a sharpshooter, where have these bandits and horse thieves seen this situation, they are reluctant to use their guns when they practice their guns, and they are frightened by the combat effectiveness of the guard [***], and they are either raising their guns and surrendering, or they are fleeing in the wilderness.

During this period, He Tianci successfully exterminated Xinmin's Hou Lao Pimple, Hou Lao Pimple was killed on the spot, and Chang Mingxin of the ancient city was also killed.

The bandits in the entire Liaohe area are panicking, and the combat effectiveness of Wei [***] is being spread more and more powerfully, and the bandits on the mountains are worried, and they are clearly said to be exterminated by themselves, and many bandits even have the idea of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light and taking refuge in the government.

The territory of Xinmin Mansion has also become stable and restored to its former calm. General Shengjing Zengqi also admired He Tianci, and even praised it, of course, in addition to the great fake appreciation, he also rewarded He Tianci with 2,000 taels of silver and 200 Mauser pistols to express encouragement. Zengqi also has some understanding of He Tianci's troops, and He Tianci's troops are all Russian-style equipment. did not give those Hanyang old sleeves, Qili Jiu and other weapons that were tattered in He Tianci's eyes, but chose the Mauser pistol.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered March, the cold winter in the Northeast, quietly leaving, the snow in the Northeast gradually dispersed, the dog climbed the plow and there was no trace, the breath of spring quietly rose, the land melted by ice and snow is slowly turning green, and everything began to recover. He Tianci was ordered to go to Jinxi to encircle and suppress the five major outposts of red snail clams.

At the same time, the two sides finally began to fight in Mukden. Since the Russian army at this time had the advantage in the Battle of Mukden, it took the lead in attacking.

However, with the arrival of Nogi of the Third Army and the formation of the 5th Army, the 250,000 troops had been concentrated, and Dashanyan decided to attack the 370,000 Russian troops who had been concentrated in Mukden.

For this reason, on March 2, 1905, the 5th Army of the right wing of the Japanese Army, Kawamura Jingming Division, took the lead in advancing north from the upper reaches of the Taizi River. With the support of the 1st Army, a detour began to the right flank of the Russian 1st Army. This action was completely unexpected by Kuropatkin, who immediately transferred the 42nd battalion of the reserve on the right flank (belonging to the 1st Siberian Army) to strengthen the left flank, which was exactly what Marshal Oyama wanted.

On March 10, 1905, the 2nd and 3rd armies began to detour the right flank of the Russian army and carry out the main assault. This move put the Russian army in a difficult position: on a front stretching for about 100 kilometers, only 1 division remained in the reserves of the right flank of the Russian army. The Russian 2nd Army had to deal with the 2 corps (about 96 battalions, 288 guns against 133 battalions, 468 guns), and while the right flank was beaten, the left flank 2 armies were not moving. The 2nd Army was forced to shrink its positions. At this time, Kuropatkin again decided to transfer the reserves from the left flank back to the right flank. The troops tossed back and forth, exhausted.

Kuropatkin decided to launch a counter-assault on the flank of the 3rd Army, which was detouring to his right flank, Nogi Noshinori, and for this purpose a number of companies, battalions, and regiments were drawn from the two armies on the left flank, and a mixed force was hastily organized under the unified command of General Mischinko. The counter-assault is scheduled to begin on March 14. On March 10, it was said that the 3rd Army was approaching the railway line north of Mukden, and the situation was urgent. However, General Mischenko's troops still did not complete the concentration, and the original counter-assault was postponed to March 15, when the total strength of the 2nd Army under his command was 120 battalions (80,000 men), and the Russian army fought many bloody battles with the army, but the effect was not obvious.

On 17 March, Mischinko's cavalry corps set out lightly, went around behind the railway line north of Mukden, and launched a surprise attack on the Third Army in the Tieling area, defeating the Third Army and relieving the pressure on the Second Army. Mischenko's cavalry army should have been swept by Akiyama Yoshigu in history and withdrew from the stage of historical warfare, but due to the addition of He Tianci, General Mischenko was saved and made another great contribution in the Battle of Mukden.

At this time, the Russian-Japanese war has undergone great changes due to He Tianci's accession, and the Russian army, which should have been completely defeated, has actually stalemate with the Russian army in the Mukden area at this time, and no one knows who will win this war between Russia and Russia?
