Zhang Zuolin is a guy with his own ideas. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

His background is not good, his ancestors went to the Northeast to make a living, and when he arrived at his grandfather, he was already quite wealthy and had more than enough land, and his life was not worried, but his father was a loser, gambling and smoking, and after his grandfather died, his father lost all the family property in a few years.

Zhang Zuolin didn't even have the money to study when he was a child, but Zhang Zuolin had ambition and heart, and secretly ran to the door of the private school to eavesdrop, but was discovered by the teacher, just like in many stories, the old master was kind-hearted and helped him, taught him to read for free, and gave him paper and pen to practice calligraphy.

In this way, Zhang Zuolin learned to read and write, but he still can't make a living, he is not a down-to-earth and hard-working person, and people who are down-to-earth and hard-working often don't have so many eyes, and they also know how to eavesdrop and learn.

Zhang Zuolin also loves to gamble, making some money by doing small business, but he soon loses it all. His mother asked him to learn carpentry, and he was too tired. At one point, he was on the streets begging. Later, he accidentally cured a sick horse in the cart shop, and he became a veterinarian. After that, he had a bad fate, was wronged, and almost died. With the help of others, he was able to live forever.

It can be said that Zhang Zuolin has always been a Jianghu figure in the first half of his life, and he is a Jianghu figure mixed at the bottom, until after the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, he joined the army with no way out. Defeated in the First Sino-Japanese War, he fled back to Liaoxi. In the year of Gengzi, he married the daughter of the landlord of Zhaojiamiao, and with the help of the power of the landlord's family, he pulled up more than 20 people in the area of Zhaojiamiao, and established the Baoxiang Group, that is, the landlord's group training.

Zhang Zuolin is different from ordinary bandits, he knows how to operate, knows how to abide by the rules, take what should be taken, and don't take what should not be taken, his reputation is gradually revealed, and several villages have taken refuge in him and rely on him for protection. After repeated setbacks, he was attacked by other bandits, and there were several ups and downs. In the end, a team was still pulled up.

It was during the Russo-Japanese War that Zhang Zuolin really made his fortune, and the Japanese approached him and persuaded him to help the Japanese. Of course, the Japanese spies planned to kill Zhang Zuolin if they were not convinced. Zhang Zuolin got a batch of weapons and equipment from the Japanese, and his strength became even stronger.

After the Russo-Japanese War, Yang Chao entered the northeast to fight with the Russians, and that time Zhang Zuolin thought that his opportunity had come. took refuge in Yang Chao, but Yang Chao didn't have the idea of recruiting bandits at all, and dismissed the bandits after the battle, and then the Beiyang Army came again, Zhang Zuolin is a person with ideas, knowing that when he is a group training, there is nothing to do with the bandits, he has been seeking the opportunity to be co-opted, Duan Zhigui is a person who loves money, Zhang Zuolin spent money to buy Duan Zhigui. He led his troops to Harbin and took refuge in him, becoming an assistant commander with more than 300 brothers.

But Zhang Zuolin didn't expect that after a turn, he fell into the hands of Yang Chao again, but this time Yang Chao couldn't ignore him, in this Northeast War, his performance was extremely good, just killing and injuring Russians, it was really difficult to find someone stronger than him in the army.

In fact, Yang Chao has never underestimated Zhang Zuolin. It's just that the bandits were all under the leadership of Ma Huowa last time, harassing the Russians everywhere, and that time it was military blackmail, but it didn't leave any room for the army to perform, so Zhang Zuolin was not obvious. Yang Chao didn't know that he was under his own hands at all, otherwise Yang Chao would have taken him in a long time ago.

But this kind of character always has a place to shine, and there is a chance that it is like a needle in a pocket, which is quickly pierced.

The Northeast War gave Zhang Zuolin such an opportunity, and the Russian Cossacks bypassed Harbin to attack the interior. Destroying railways and burning villages, Zhang Zuolin's cavalry and horse team were ordered to clear the place, where are the Russians more familiar with the terrain of the Northeast than him, let alone the people of the Northeast, Zhang Zuolin almost step by step with the Russian Cossacks in circles, and seized the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat.

Zhang Zuolin's reputation slowly spread, Yang Chao came back from Shanghai, he heard about Zhang Zuolin's name, and immediately asked Duan Qirui for it.

"Humble and grateful for the cultivation of Lord Xie, it is difficult to repay the great favor in death!"

Zhang Zuolin was really excited, Yang Chao gave him the official title of town control, nominally at the same level as Duan Qirui, but more importantly, he was allowed to go to Mongolia to win over herdsmen and form Mongolian cavalry to attack the Russians.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop his power, if he can form an army of tens of thousands of Mongolians, he Zhang Zuolin will not fly Huang Tengda?

Sure enough, a friend from the rivers and lakes was right, he Zhang Zuolin still wants to meet nobles.

"Don't die, do a good job, kill the Russians, come back alive, I'll give you credit!"

Yang Chao comforted, this is the future king of the Northeast? No matter how you look at it, it's not domineering.

Zhang Zuolin soon set off with his men and horses, he went to the rivers and lakes, and there was no shortage of people in the rivers and lakes of the year, the three religions and the nine streams knew everything, and there were also charlatans who had been mixed in the Mongolian border all the year round, and they were very familiar with the customs and habits of Mongolia, and they soon opened the market, exchanged horses with the Mongols with rifles and salt, and attracted Mongolian horse bandits to join them, and their power grew rapidly.

Zhang Zuolin soon met with the Russian cavalry going south, the Russian cavalry is actually not a large army, the Russians have not been able to cross the Mongolian Plateau for thousands of miles, without supplies, without a guide, directly approaching Beijing, this is no longer the era of cold weapons, without logistics supplies, even if you sneak attack Beijing, can you still capture the city wall by riding a horse?

Therefore, there are still small groups of Cossack bandits on the Mongolian plateau, and their purpose in entering Mongolia is nothing more than to harass and force the Mongolian Living Buddha to fall to the side of the Russians, and their secret messengers have already connected with the Living Buddha, and just wait for the Living Buddha to nod, the Russians plan to support the Mongols to establish a state, and break away from the rule of the Qing Dynasty in China.

It's just that the living Buddha hasn't agreed, and the Cossacks don't have the ability to capture Kulen, so they loot around to make a living, in this case, Zhang Zuolin appeared and began to fight with the Cossacks around Kulen.

Zhang Zuolin went to Mongolia, Xinjiang is beyond the reach of the whip, Xinjiang is different from Mongolia, the Russians enter Xinjiang, than Chinese mainland into Xinjiang easier, the Russians occupy Central Asia bordering Xinjiang, they can easily send troops from their own hinterland into Xinjiang, and the Russians also built the railway line to Andijan and Almaty, close to Xinjiang, the Russians' attack on Xinjiang is not small-scale, but a regular attack.

Xinjiang's only reliance is on a large area of the Gobi Desert, but the Gobi Desert can't stop the living, in the end it still depends on people, the first to stop the Russians' crazy advance of the Cossacks is an army academy supervisor in Xinjiang, led more than 100 school students, took guns as Russians, so that the Russians did not have lightning to capture Urumqi.

Then Yang Chao's airship fleet successfully arrived, bringing thousands of soldiers and corresponding equipment to strengthen the defense of Urumqi. And the Army Academy supervisor who blocked the Russians became famous in World War I, his name is Yang Zengxin, and a character appears.

Because of this meritorious service, Yang Zengxin was ordered to be responsible for the formation of the Xinjiang New Army in danger, with the students of the Army Academy as the backbone, to eliminate the old and weak of the Xinjiang army, recruit new soldiers, and not ask them to drive the Russians out, but only to block the Russians in Xinjiang.

In the middle of 1911, the war in Xinjiang finally entered a state of protracted war, and the Russians started a war on three fronts, flowering in many places, but the blossoming alone did not bear fruit, and they did not capture any strategic points.

After agreeing on the battle plan between the two sides with Yang Chao, Japan asked Yang Chao to continue to resist Russia and drag the main force of the Russian army on the front line of Harbin, and then the Japanese waited until the spring flowers bloomed and the waters north of Vladivostok thawed, and they suddenly sent the navy and army to raid Miaojie, and then the Japanese army invaded the Heilongjiang River Valley. At the same time, they landed on Sakhalin and eliminated more than a thousand Russian troops on Sakhalin.

The Japanese are also very smart, they also know that what they can't get on the battlefield can't get at the negotiating table, they have to get the land they want first, and then negotiate with the Russians, at this time, as the war drags on, many countries have come forward to mediate, and Japan doesn't want to have nothing to gain until other countries come forward.

After the Japanese invaded the territory of Russia, the Russians immediately could not sit still, and immediately launched a large-scale military movement, increasing troops towards the Heilongjiang River valley, while the Japanese marched along the Heilongjiang River to Boli, which was the core of the Russian Trans-Siberian Railway, and if it was cut off by the Japanese army, then the Russians would lose contact with Heisenwei.

The Russian army assembled in Boli by rail, but it was not as fast as the Japanese, and the Japanese steamers had already arrived at Boli along the Heilongjiang River, which had been dissolved, and sent 100,000 troops to surround Boli and cut off the railway in Boli, Haisenwei's reinforcements were repelled by the Japanese army, and Hailanpao's reinforcements were also repelled by the Japanese army.

After two encirclement points and reinforcements, the Japanese increased their troops and surrounded Hailan Pao, and captured it in one fell swoop, mobilized troops to return to the army for a blow, and took Boli, which was originally not much in force. The progress of the Japanese army made the Russians more nervous, and they continued to increase their troops, and even transferred troops from the front, which gave Yang Chao the opportunity to counterattack.

"Pever. Do you remember what I told you in Liaoyang? ”

Yang Chao called Wu Peifu to him and asked.

"Remember, my lord hopes that our army can have the courage and ability to fight a real bloody battle with the Russian army!"

Wu Peifu clearly remembers that this sentence inspired him for a long time.

Yang Chao nodded: "Now the bloody battle is about to begin." All-out counteroffensive, Qiqihar and Manchuria, first drive the Russians out of Chinese territory, and then into the Russian border! ”

Yang Chao said in a heavy tone, undoubtedly, very resolute, but quite stressful, because his order would cost thousands of lives.

Wu Peifu didn't say anything, just saluted, and then said: "Humble obedience!" (To be continued.) )
