Zhang Zuolin now feels very tired, the pro-Japanese forces in the Northeast have a tendency to roll bigger and bigger, he was not able to fully control the power of the three provinces in the Northeast, Yuan Shikai appointed him as the governor of Jilin after the establishment of the Beiyang government, although he used the Japanese to trip Meng Enyuan in just a few months, and then annexed the Beiyang 23rd Division to become the strongest force in the three eastern provinces in one fell swoop, but the Fengtian Governor Zhao Erxun and the Heilongjiang Governor Xu Lanzhou and Zhang Zuolin were not in harmony.

Zhao Erxun, the governor of Fengtian, was a remnant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and had a deep attachment to the Qing Dynasty, and once carried out large-scale massacres of revolutionaries and innocent civilians in Fengtian and even the entire territory of the three eastern provinces. After the abdication of Emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Jinkai, Zhao Erxun's confidant and chief of the Security Council, drafted the "Twelve Articles of the Three Eastern Provinces Against the Republic" on behalf of Zhao Erxun. Diplomatically, it only recognized the treaties made by the Qing Empire with other countries, and "did not hear of anything else".

Zhao Erxun was very unkind to Zhang Zuolin, Zhang was originally his subordinate, he and Zhang cooperated to squeeze out Lan Tianwei, I didn't expect Zhang to bribe Xu Shichang to be recommended by Xu to Yuan Shikai as the governor of Jilin, and he also annexed the twenty-third division smoothly, holding two divisions,

And his subordinate Feng Delin even had an eyebrow with Zhang Zuolin, which made him very jealous.

If Qin Yu had not appeared to disturb Huaxia, Feng Delin would have become opponents with Zhang Zuolin, but after Zhang Zuolin became the governor of Jilin, the two did not become enemies, on the contrary, they became good friends because the two were born in the green forest at the same time, and now Feng Delin will listen to Zhao Erxun's orders, but he is still more inclined to Zhang Zuolin.

If the governor of Heilongjiang is Song Xiaolian according to the development of the original world, but Song Xiaolian was recalled to Beijing by Yuan Shikai shortly after the establishment of the Beiyang government, Xu Lanzhou instigated his subordinates and forced a cadre of Heilongjiang officials to recommend him to Yuan Shikai to become the governor, Yuan Shikai was allowed because he was busy dealing with the Manchu royal family, but only appointed an official to be the deputy governor, and as a result, the deputy governor was set aside by Xu Lanzhou as soon as he arrived. After Xu Lanzhou took control of Heilongjiang Province, he immediately strengthened his ties with Japan, and sold the mining rights of Heilongjiang to Japan in order to deal with Russia, and he also sat firmly in the position of governor of Heilongjiang.

After Zhang Zuolin fled back to the Northeast in Beijing, he urgently contacted Zhao Erxun and Xu Lanzhou to discuss the establishment of an autonomous government in the Northeast, and Zhao and Xu saw that Yuan Shikai's army in Guannei was defeated by the National Defense Army, and knew that Yuan Shikai had gone and agreed to Zhang Zuolin's construction, and the two recommended Zhang Zuolin as the governor of Northeast China and established the Northeast Autonomous Government to be independent from the Beiyang Government.

After the establishment of the Northeast Autonomous Government, the three of them quarreled many times because of the dispute of interests, so that the contradictions accumulated more and more, because Zhao and Xu could not fight against the powerful Zhang Zuolin alone, they slowly united, and the interests of the Northeast also evolved into a collision of two major forces.

After Zhao Erxun became the governor of Fengtian, he slowly gathered the remnants and nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he received the support of the Zongshe Party, an organization established by Kawashima Sulang and other Japanese to assist the Qing imperial family Prince Su. With the support of the Japanese government and the military, the Zongshe Party purchased arms and recruited personnel to form the Manchurian and Mongolian Independent Volunteer Army.

In order to deal with Zhang Zuolin's military expansion, Xu Lanzhou purchased a large number of Japanese weapons, and Japan took the opportunity to trick him into joining the camp of the Japanese.

There have been a lot of things that have happened recently, the Wehrmacht has defeated the Ma Jiajun in the northwest, and has also defeated the army of the world's largest power in the Far East, and has taken back all kinds of rights, not only Zhang Zuolin is afraid, even Xu Lanzhou in Heilongjiang is very frightened, and Zhao Erxun in Mukden is even more exaggerated, he is afraid when he hears that the Chinese government is going to move to Beijing, and he is the first to bear the brunt of the Wehrmach's attack on the northeast, how can he not be afraid.

With the support of the Zongshe Party, Zhao Erxun had already mastered part of the military force, and he used the weapons provided by the Japanese to form a new army composed of Manchurians, the size of two divisions, and also named the Qingfeng First and Second Divisions. He once wanted to deprive Feng Delin of his military power, but he blew it under Zhang Zuolin's interference, because he didn't want to tear his face with Feng Delin yet, once Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin united, his life would come to an end.

Since Zhao Erxun and Xu Lanzhou formed an alliance, Zhao Erxun began to intensify his suppression of Feng Delin, deducting the military rations and salaries of Feng Delin's army from time to time, and also co-opting those officers.

Feng Delin also has a headache, before Zhao Erxun did not form an alliance with Xu Lanzhou, he could still eat and drink spicy food, now Fengtian not only has the newly established Qingfeng Division, but also Zhao Erxun's suppression, several times he wanted to go to Zhang Zuolin, but when he thought of going to Zhang Zuolin, who was also born in the green forest, he couldn't hold his face. Now he regrets it very much, regrets that he didn't listen to his subordinates to kill Zhao Erxun and become the governor of Fengtian himself, when Zhang Zuolin and Xu Lanzhou became the governor, his subordinates let him take advantage of the situation to overthrow Zhao Erxun and then take over the entire Fengtian, but he was afraid of Yuan Shikai and the Japanese did not accept it. His army had expanded to two divisions, and in order to raise military funds, he ignored the opposition to wipe out the bandits and bandits in Mukden Province, one to accumulate experience, and the other to confiscate the property of the bandits and bandits for military expenses, so that he could maintain the normal operation of the two divisions, and in order to get more arms he had to trade with the Russians, who hoped that he would be able to resist the Japanese.

Zhang Zuolin of Jilin immediately began to expand the army after fleeing from Beijing, and the original two divisions grew from eight divisions to 96,000 men, his brother Zhang Zuoxiang was in charge of two divisions, Wu Junsheng who followed him to Jilin was in charge of two divisions, and the remaining four divisions were personally managed by him. Zhang Zuolin used his status as the governor of the capital to purchase a large number of weapons from Russia and the United States, and at the same time used the Japanese to try to win him over and borrow money from the Japanese, and Japan did not hesitate to lend him money when he saw him, so now his strength in the entire Northeast is still the strongest, pressing Xu Lanzhou and Zhao Erxun.

Xu Lanzhou in order to resist Zhang Zuolin's pressure to expand the army frantically, from the original one division directly expanded to four divisions, in order to expand the weapons of the army he secretly sent people to contact Russia, using the Russian army's disgust with Japan and obtained a batch of weapons, but these weapons at all, can not satisfy his army, and then he contacted the Japanese to buy a large number of weapons, with four divisions he was a little relieved.

In this way, there are 16 divisions in the northeast, and according to the military system of the Beiyang Army, each division has 12,000 people, which adds up to more than 190,000, and there are 50,000 or 60,000 security regiments in the remaining places.

The strength of the two major forces in the Northeast is about the same, although Zhang Zuolin's strength is stronger than the other two, but he not only has to watch these two sides, but also always pay attention to the Japanese army in Korea, so the pressure is greater than that of Zhao and Xu.

After announcing that it would move northward, the Huaxia government ordered the 200,000 national defense troops originally stationed in the area of Tianjin to garrison and oppress the northeast in the Chaoyang area at the junction of Rehe and Fengtian. In order to prevent the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin sent three divisions to Tonghua to garrison, and Feng Delin was also transferred to Hushan Town by Zhang Zuolin as the governor of the capital.

The Wehrmacht was only stationed in the Chaoyang area but did not attack, Qin Yu did not want Japan to intervene in the war with the Northeast Army, so he wanted to negotiate peace with the Northeast.

After Feng Delin was transferred to Hushan, Zhao Erxun hurriedly contacted the Zongshe Party to take control of Fengtian City, and he changed a large number of Feng Delin's people, while the Zongshe Party continued to expand its influence.

Now Zhang Zuolin and the three of them are afraid that opponents who are not opponents of the national defense force will start to expand the army again, and even forcibly pull people into the army, which makes the people of the three provinces sigh and sigh, and they also "buy" a large amount of grain. The people did not dare to resist the actions of the Northeast government, and they were already scared by the last time the Northeast government suppressed the demonstrators.

Japan was very nervous after seeing the National Defense Forces stationed in Chaoyang, and now their work in the northeast has not been done well, only Xu Lanzhou and Zhao Erxun are close to them, and Xu Lanzhou is not as thorough as Zhao Erxun to them. It didn't take long for them to find out that Zhang Zuolin had transferred three divisions to Tonghua, and the Japanese also knew that this was Zhang Zuolin's defense against them, so they could only transfer most of the troops in Korea to Tonghua and near Hushan.

As early as Huaxia's defeat of the British army in Tibet, Japan, in view of the strength of the Chinese National Defense Force, Emperor Taisho agreed to establish divisions in Korea under the advice of Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang, and sent additional troops to Korea to deter Huaxia. Japan decided to establish the 19th and 20th divisions in Korea, and also sent the 18th Division to Korea, and also allowed the establishment of three servant divisions composed of Koreans, with a total of 108,000 men in six divisions, in addition to the 7,000 independent mixed brigades of Kwantung in Kwantung Prefecture in advance.

The Japanese Army has a total of 6 ranks and 16 grades, namely, general, lieutenant general, major general, large sa (colonel), middle advocate, young sa, first lieutenant, lieutenant, second lieutenant, warrant officer, Cao Chang (sergeant), Jun Cao (sergeant), Wu Chang (corporal), private, first class, and second class.

corps commander - general or lieutenant general (there are few generals); division commander - lieutenant general or major general (major generals are relatively rare); Brigade commander - major general; Wing Captain - Osa. There are about 1,000 people in a brigade of the Japanese army, and the general captain is a lieutenant or a large captain, the squadron leader is a lieutenant or captain, and the brigade commander is a major general.

An infantry wing has 3 brigades (battalions), a brigade has 4 squadrons (companies), and a squadron has 3 squadrons (platoons). A squadron had a wartime strength of 200 men, a brigade of 1,000 men (including machine gunners and artillerymen), and a wing of more than 3,500 men.
