Chapter 144: Northeast Clean-up Operation

By the end of January 1896, the number of integrated divisions of the Dingbei Army in the four northeastern provinces had reached 13 divisions, except for the Guards Division, the Fifth Division and the Fifteenth Division, which remained in Weihaiwei, and all the other integrated divisions of the Dingbei Army had been transferred to the four northeastern provinces. In accordance with Lin Daxin's order, 13 divisions were stationed in four northeastern provinces.

The 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th Divisions of the Dingbei Army were stationed in Heilongjiang Province to guard against the Russians. The 6th, 9th, and 10th Divisions were stationed in Yalugang Province to guard against the Japanese in South Korea. The 7th Division of the Dingbei Army was stationed in the Shanhaiguan defense line to guard against the Manchu court.

The 8th Division of the Dingbei Army was stationed in various parts of Jilin Province, the 3rd and 4th Divisions were stationed in various parts of Fengtian Province, the 1st Division was stationed in Dalian and Lushun bases, and the 2nd Division was stationed in Shengjing City as an armored unit.

Lin Daxin said to the division commanders of the Dingbei Army that this was only a temporary arrangement, and that Lin Daxin had a plan in mind to reorganize the divisions of the Dingbei Army, and that Lin Daxin had ordered the arsenal to develop and produce standard weapons belonging to the Dingbei Army according to the weapons materials he had taken back from modern time and space, so as to replace the weapons now used by the Dingbei Army.

In addition, Lin Daxin was not satisfied with the fact that there were only 18,000 people in each integrated division, and Lin Daxin's idea for the integrated division of the Dingbei Army was that one integrated division could win a medium-sized battle. The current reorganized division, Lin Daxin thinks that the strength is still a little weak and cannot meet his ideas, so Lin Daxin is also preparing to strengthen the number of reorganized divisions, and the current reorganized division may have to be reorganized again. The locations of the reintegration divisions are also not static.

In the northeast, there were incidents of armed Manchu and bandit attacks on settlements. The divisions of the Dingbei Army in the northeast received five unforgiving telegrams from Lin Daxin in Weihaiwei, and immediately began to wipe out the bandit and Manchu forces in various localities with the cooperation of the personnel of the Military Intelligence Bureau. At the same time, according to the intelligence of the personnel of the Military Intelligence Agency, the Manchu nobles who provoked troubles were suppressed.

At the foot of Erlong Mountain, more than 30 miles southwest of Shengjing City, Li Qingyao came here with more than 500 people from his battalion under the leadership of a military intelligence agent.

Li Qingyao glanced at the terrain of Erlong Mountain, frowned, and said to the agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau: "Lieutenant Hu, are you sure that you have slaughtered the bandits who emigrated from 2 settlement points outside Shengjing City in a row, and they are on this Erlong Mountain?" ”

In the past few months, Lin Daxin has first implemented the military rank system for the integrated divisions of the Dingbei Army in the four northeastern provinces. According to the generals, colonels and lieutenants to the officers and men of the Dingbei Army in the northeast, Lin Daxin will prepare to implement the military rank system for several divisions of Weihaiwei and the Navy of the Naval Academy.

The highest ranks in the Dingbei Army are the division commanders of the integrated division. He was awarded the rank of major general by Lin Daxin. At this time, Li Qingyao also had two bars and one star on his shoulders, and his military rank was major.

Lieutenant Hu of the Military Intelligence Bureau nodded and said, "Major Li, you can't be wrong, the leader of this gang of bandits is surnamed Liu." Nicknamed Liu Batian, also known as Liu Papi! This person has a ferocious temperament and likes to pick human skins alive, and the immigrants who were skinned in the 2 immigration points should come from his hands, and this Erlong Mountain is his lair! ”

Li Qingyao nodded and said, "I don't care if he is a tyrant or a tyrant, since he dares to slaughter the settlement, I will make him a dead tyrant today!" However, the terrain of this Erlong Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. I wonder if there are any other ways up the mountain? ”

Lieutenant Hu shook his head and said: "Erlong Mountain is the only way up the mountain, and it is precisely because of Erlong Mountain, which is an old nest that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, that Liu Batian can run rampant near Shengjing. The Qing army once encircled and suppressed Liu Batian, but they all returned in vain in the face of the dangerous road of the gorge pass in Erlong Mountain. ”

Li Qingyao listened and looked at Erlong Mountain, thought about it for a while, and then turned to several company commanders and ordered: "The 1st company will attack first, let the attacking soldiers prepare more grenades, and blow up a passage up the mountain for me with grenades!" 2 companies and 3 companies as reserves. Support 1 company at any time. Today, we must exterminate Erlong Mountain and avenge the people who died! ”

Inside the cottage on the top of Erlong Mountain. Liu Batian, the leader of the bandits in Erlong Mountain, was on the bed in his room, naked and pressing a handsome young woman covered in bruises and tears, constantly doing piston movements, crunching the bed.

This young woman was snatched back by Liu Batian in the attack on the immigration point this time, Liu Batian killed her husband, and also killed her one-year-old child, snatched her to Shangzhai, and has been harming her for 3 days, and every time she resists, she will be beaten by Liu Batian.

While exercising on this young woman, Liu Batian said viciously: "Stinky girls, you know how to cry every day!" It seems that there is not enough femdom for you! ”

After speaking, he pinched the young woman's chest with his hand, "Ahh

Liu Batian laughed: "I like to listen to your voice!" I'm going to hear enough today! Let you taste the freshness too! Hey, hey, hey! ”

After speaking, Liu Batian pulled out the root of his sin, turned the young woman 180 degrees with all his strength, and then stabbed it hard at the excretion place behind the young woman, "Ahh

But Liu Batian laughed wildly, firmly held down the young woman who wanted to struggle, and continued to start the piston movement.

Suddenly, there was an explosion of "boom-boom-boom-" outside, which softened Liu Batian, who was fighting on the young woman, and at this time, a bandit from Erlong Mountain ran into Liu Batian's room in a panic and shouted in horror: "Big boss!" Oh no! The officers and soldiers are about to go up the mountain! ”

Liu Batian couldn't care about the young woman on the bed, put the cotton clothes on his body a few times, ran out of the room and shouted: "Brothers! Resist Lao Tzu! ”

The officers and men of the 1st Company under Li Qingyao broke through several passes of Erlong Mountain in succession with the power of grenades, and soon arrived at the cottage on the top of Erlong Mountain.

Subsequently, the officers and men of the 1st Company, under the cover of the Gatling machine gun, blew open the gate of the Erlongshan cottage and attacked the cottage of Erlongshan, with almost no effort, most of the bandits who resisted were killed, and Liu Batian, the bandit leader of Erlongshan, and some bandits were captured alive.

Li Qingyao and the officers and soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd companies also entered the cottage on the top of Erlong Mountain. At this time, the company commander of the 1st Company reported to Li Qingyao: "Battalion commander, the bandit leader Liu Batian was captured alive, and 61 bandits were also captured. In addition, more than a dozen migrant women who had been captured by bandits and carried up the mountain were rescued. But these women are all plagued by bandits! ”

Li Qingyao suddenly had a burst of anger in his eyes, gritted his teeth and ordered: "So the bandits who killed immigrants and plagued women are all singled out for me!" Don't miss one! ”

The 1st company commander nodded and said, "Yes!" Battalion commander! ”

In the end, only 10 of the bandits did not massacre the immigrants and did not harm the migrant women.

The young woman who was also harmed by the bandit leader Liu Batian just now said to Li Qingyao in a sad voice: "Master Jun, you have to avenge me!" Liu Batian not only killed my husband and one-year-old child, but also ...... me Scourge on me! Liu Batian is not a human at all! Woooooo ”

Li Qingyao's eyes flashed with fierce light. said to the young woman, "Sister, don't worry. We will definitely repay the blood debt for you! ”

After speaking, Li Qingyao walked in front of the bandit leader Liu Batian, and said contemptuously: "You are Liu Batian, also known as Liu Papi, you like to pick up human skins alive?" ”

Liu Batian was pressed and knelt on the ground by 2 soldiers of the Dingbei Army. Hearing Li Qingyao's words, his neck was stalked, and he shouted in his mouth: "Grandpa is Liu Batian of Erlong Mountain!" ”

Li Qingyao turned his head to Lieutenant Hu of the Military Intelligence Agency and asked, "Is this Liu Batian useful to your Military Intelligence Bureau?" ”

Lieutenant Hu shook his head and said, "We have already mastered the Manchu nobles who contacted Liu Batian, Liu Batian, you can deal with it!" ”

Li Qingyao nodded, casually took out the Mauser revolver from the leather holster on his waist, opened the safe, and shot Liu Batian, the leader of the Erlong Mountain bandits who was rampant in the Shengjing area, with a "horn-" shot at the head with a frightened look in his eyes.

Li Qingyao then ordered the soldiers to shoot all 51 bandits who had killed immigrants or harmed migrant women, and held the remaining 10 bandits who had been frightened. Carrying the property confiscated at the bandit cottage and taking with a dozen or so captured migrant women, he left the cottage in Erlong Mountain and walked down the mountain.

And behind Li Qingyao and others is a cottage that has been ignited. Billowing smoke rises.

In Qiqihar, Heilongjiang, Zhang Zuolin, commander of the 12th Division, personally led the division's guard regiment to Anlongqiao Town, not far from Qiqihar City. As soon as he arrived in Anlongqiao Town, Zhang Zuolin ordered the guard regiment to surround the largest mansion in Anlongqiao Town, which was quite large and occupied almost half of the town.

The mansion surrounded by Zhang Zuolin was the Manchu Beile Ilkule? Bayan Wo Xihui's residence. A housekeeper in the courtyard of the mansion ran to the bedroom where Bayan Wo Xihui lived in a panic and shouted, "Lord Belle, it's not good. The Dingbei Army has fenced off our yard! Lord Belle, is it that our attack on the settlement has been exposed? ”

This year has passed the year of doubt? Bayan Wo Xihui came out of the house, snorted coldly and said, "What are you panicking about! Now that the world is still the world of our Qing Dynasty, I don't believe that the Northern Army dares to touch me, the beylor who was canonized by the imperial court! Sue the family in the mansion, take out the gun for Lord Ben Belle, and follow Lord Belle to meet the leader of the Dingbei Army, and see what he can do with Lord Ben Belle! ”

Wait for the soldiers of the guard regiment to put Irkul? After Bayan Wo Xihui's mansion was surrounded, Zhang Zuolin was about to order the soldiers of the Dingbei Army to blow up the gate of the mansion, but the gate suddenly opened, and Bayan Wo Xihui rushed out with a large group of people with rifles, ready to find the leader of the Dingbei Army to theorize well.

Zhang Zuolin saw the gate open, and a group of people rushed out with guns, and immediately ordered: "Shoot!" Destroy the bandits! ”

Several Gatling machine guns, which had already been set up, began to strafe at the crowd rushing out of the gate, and the Manchu Beyler Bayan Wo Xihui, who was rushing to the front, shouted angrily "You-" and was immediately beaten into a sieve and fell in a pool of blood, and most of the family members who rushed out were killed, and the remaining half fled back to the mansion.

Zhang Zuolin ordered the soldiers of the Dingbei Army of the guard regiment: "Rush in!" Kill all those who resist! ”

Immediately, the soldiers of the guard regiment rushed into the mansion from the gate, and in less than 10 minutes, they completely controlled the entire mansion, and gathered all the people in Bayanwo Xihui's mansion into one courtyard, and then Zhang Zuolin walked into the mansion and came to this courtyard, and asked a group of men who were caught: "Who is Ilkule?" Bayan Wo Xihui? ”

One of the servants replied in a trembling voice, "Lord Belle...... Lord Belle went out with someone just now, and he was already ...... It's been killed! ”

Zhang Zuolin didn't care when he heard that he was dead, so he said to the people in Bayan Woxihui's mansion in a courtyard: "Ilkule? Bayan Wo Xihui colluded with bandits, attacked the settlement near Qiqihar, brutally killed many immigrants, and was ordered by the governor of the four northeastern provinces to arrest Irkule? Bayan Wo Xihui was shot on the spot, so the property was confiscated and confiscated! ”

Zhang Zuolin then ordered the guard regiment to start confiscating the property on Bayan Wo Xihui's mansion, and nearly 100,000 taels of gold and more than 400,000 taels of silver were confiscated, as well as a large number of jewelry, jade, ginseng, mink and antique title deeds.

Zhang Zuolin was stunned and looked at the confiscated belongings that filled half of the courtyard, and muttered: "These Manchu nobles are really rich!" No wonder the principal deliberately confessed that all the Manchu nobles who participated in the attack on immigrants were raided! ”

After the month-long campaign was over, the large bandit forces in the four northeastern provinces were all wiped out, and the Manchu nobles in Mukden, Jilin, and Heilongjiang were almost wiped out under the deliberate care of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and all their family property was confiscated.

To Lin Daxin's surprise, nearly 10 million taels of gold, equivalent to 300 tons of gold, more than 50 million taels of silver, and a large number of valuable belongings such as jewelry, jade, ginseng, mink, and antique title deeds were confiscated from the homes of Manchu nobles in Mukden, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, which would be at least more than 150 million pounds if converted into pounds.

Lin Daxin is equivalent to the wealth accumulated by the Manchu nobles in the northeast for hundreds of years, Lin Daxin couldn't help but sigh, who said that the Qing Dynasty has no money, who am I anxious with!

It turned out that the treasury of the Qing Dynasty had no money, like the Manchu nobles in the Northeast, all of them were big tyrants! Rich people!

A small number of Northeast Manchu nobles who escaped the net fled to Beijing, and then the Manchu court learned of Lin Daxin's purge of the Northeast Manchu nobles, but several people in power in the court were busy fighting for the control of the new army, and the new army of the court had just begun training, and there was no ability to suppress Lin Daxin, so the court had to pretend to be deaf and dumb to Lin Daxin's purge of the Northeast Manchu nobles.

Lin Daxin's TongguΓ² purge action cleared the Manchu forces in the entire four northeastern provinces, and Lin Daxin's new policy in the northeast was fully implemented in the four northeastern provinces. (To be continued)
