On the way back to the Overseer's Mansion, Wu Xingquan explained to Wu Haoxuan the current situation in the Northeast. The appointment of Yuan Shikai made Ma, Wu, Feng, and Zhang the four people become the rightful overlords of the Northeast. However, in addition to Mukden Province, Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province and Rehe Special Region all had Manchu generals and commanders, although they received the order to return to Beijing to restore their lives, but they did not leave honestly.

Wu Xingquan's father and son entered Jilin, didn't they have a big battle with Jilin General Fushun? Relying on strong force, their father and son were able to control Jilin's easily. However, Ma Tengxi and Feng Linge are not so easy.

Feng Linge is a little better, the Rehe Special Area is sparsely populated, although Rehe Kuishun is unwilling to give up Rehe, but in the face of the strong Feng Linge, after a big battle between the two sides, he also had to leave Rehe and go back to Beijing. However, after Feng Linge became the ruler of Rehe, he had to face resistance from the local Mongols. It is very difficult for Feng Linge to implement his own decree in Rehe, let alone further develop and strengthen himself after occupying this territory.

As for Ma Tengxi, it is even more sad. Heilongjiang General Cheng Dequan is not a good stubble! He refused to accept Yuan Shikai's order to appoint Ma Tengxi as the overseer of Heilongjiang. Although the conditions of Heilongjiang are a little worse, it can be regarded as a prince! If he gives up the post of general of Heilongjiang and returns to Yanjing City, it is estimated that he will only sit on the cold bench.

The current government is completely dominated by the Beiyang faction, and if you want to hold a powerful official position, you must be Yuan Shikai's henchman. As for the others, they often have only the life of being suppressed. Therefore, Cheng Dequan would rather stay in Heilongjiang than return to Yanjing City.

Cheng Dequan did this, of course Ma Tengxi would not do it. So, he led his army of more than 10,000 and marched to Heilongjiang. It's just that Ma Tengxi didn't leave Fengtian Province until the end of September, which was because of Zhang Yuting's repeated urging. After all, Fengtian Province is already his, and the more than 10,000 people in Ma Tengxi staying here will undoubtedly produce unstable factors.

By the time Ma Tengxi led the army into Heilongjiang, it had already entered October. At this time, snow has begun to fall in the northeast, and the temperature has plummeted. Ma Tengxi's logistical preparations were too inadequate, and he originally planned to defeat Cheng Dequan in one go and spend the winter in Longjiang. As a result, it was blocked by the patrol battalion under Cheng Dequan, and one was trapped in the wild.

Coupled with the fact that food, ammunition, and winter clothing were not fully prepared, Ma Tengxi's troops were undoubtedly in a difficult situation. Cheng Dequan is also a character, and immediately seized the opportunity to carry out a counterattack on Ma Tengxi. In the fierce battle that day, Ma Tengxi was defeated, and the original army of more than 15,000 people was defeated by Cheng Dequan's 10,000 people.

In the end, there were more than 6,000 people left, and it was worth curling down in Binjiang (now Harbin) to lick their wounds. This is also because the weather is getting colder and colder, and Cheng Dequan's army cannot launch an offensive at this time. Otherwise, Ma Tengxi is estimated to be driven out of Heilongjiang directly!

In the case that there is really no way, Ma Tengxi is worth putting down and asking the old brother for help. The closest to Heilongjiang is undoubtedly Jilin. There is only a Songhua River between the two sides. As for Zhang Yuting and Feng Linge, on the one hand, they were too far apart, and on the other hand, they were afraid that they would be defeated by Ma Tengxi and would not rescue him.

Ma Tengxi also hesitated when he sent his eldest son Ma Zihui to Jilin for help. is worried that Wu Xingquan will agree to help, or take the opportunity to swallow Heilongjiang in one fell swoop. In this case, he will be a chicken and an egg. However, if he didn't ask Wu Xingquan for help, and wait until next spring, Cheng Dequan would continue to attack, and then he would be completely finished.

It was in this anxiety that Ma Zihui met Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan, father and son.

"The little nephew has seen my uncle!" After seeing Wu Xingquan, Ma Zihui immediately saluted and looked very respectful. Not only because Wu Xingquan is now the only savior of their Ma family, but also because he was shocked by what he saw and heard after coming to Jilin.

Originally, in Ma Zihui's images, although Jilin is a little better than Heilongjiang, it is also extremely limited, and it belongs to the place where birds don't poop. However, it has only been a little more than a month, and Jilin has changed a lot. Although the construction sites were stopped due to the winter, it can be seen that the work is not small.

In addition, the Jilin Army that he met on the way here was training hard even in winter, which made Ma Zihui expect that the ambition of Wu Xingquan's father and son was probably very big.

"Zihui! Sit down. It's been a while! Wu Xingquan smiled.

"Dad, Brother Zihui, it's already noon, let's talk while eating!" Wu Haoxuan said on the side.

"Okay, let's talk while we eat!" Wu Xingquan nodded, Ma Zihui, as a nephew, no matter why he came, he must always be entertained. After all, the relationship between the Ma family and the Wu family has always been very good.

Although Ma Zihui was very anxious in his heart, he didn't come out, so he had to nod.

Lunch was very hearty, but it was all big fish and meat! This is much worse than Wu Xingquan's past. Wu Xingquan was originally a person who had no revenge, and after becoming a big official, pleasure became his biggest hobby, which can be described as a delicacy of the mountains and seas every day.

However, after Wu Haoxuan came back, he began to spend money like flowing water, and Wu Xingquan was distressed, and it was worth controlling his own expenses. Even if Wu Haoxuan has a big family business, he is afraid that Wu Haoxuan will run out. He, who is a father, naturally wants to save a little money for Wu Haoxuan.

Although the meals are delicious, Ma Zihui seems to taste like chewing wax. finally got beaten and lunch was over, and Ma Zihui could explain his intention.

"Uncle, Cheng Dequan, that treacherous villain, refused to accept Yuan Shikai's order and prevented us from entering Heilongjiang. The defeat half a month ago hit us hard. In the spring of next year, Cheng Dequan will definitely attack us, I hope that my uncle can help us for the sake of our two years' friendship! Ma Zihui said.

Wu Xingquan nodded, the eldest brother is in trouble, he, as a brother, has to help him. However, he did not make a decision without authorization, but looked at Wu Haoxuan.

In fact, Wu Haoxuan was very ashamed that Ma Tengxi's father and son led the army into Heilongjiang this time and were defeated. In terms of military strength, they are not worse than Cheng Dequan, and even a little stronger. It's just that Cheng Dequan has been operating in Heilongjiang for many years and has become the head snake there. As outsiders, it is extremely difficult for Ma Tengxi and his son to gain a firm foothold in Heilongjiang. In such a situation, they have to plan ahead.

However, Ma Tengxi and his son did not enter Heilongjiang until October, when it was already winter. Fighting in the snow and ice is no joke. Especially when the logistics support is almost equal to a blank, it is no different from looking for death. Even in the Jilin Army, Wu Haoxuan would not advocate fighting in the cold winter before the winter training was over. After all, because the weather conditions were so harsh, the non-combat attrition caused by the weather alone was enough to make him feel distressed.

"Brother Zihui, if you are in trouble, of course we will not stand idly by. But how do you want us to help you? Wu Haoxuan kicked the ball back at Ma Zihui's feet.

Ma Zihui was a little surprised, Wu Haoxuan was ten years younger than him! However, Wu Haoxuan was able to do the master, which made him almost unbelievable. However, he still immediately answered Wu Haoxuan's question.

"Haoxuan, now we are short of food, but we have winter clothes, weapons and ammunition. If Cheng Dequan attacks us in the spring of next year, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to defeat him. So, you'd better be able to help us! Ma Zihui said.

Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan, their faces were slightly unnatural. Ma Tengxi's father and son's request is a bit too much! Not only did they want food, winter clothing, weapons and ammunition, but they even hoped that the Jilin Army would help them defeat Cheng Dequan. Where is there such a cheap thing! Besides, using the lives of his soldiers to fight the world for the Ma family's father and son, Wu Haoxuan is not a fool, how can he do it?

Seeing that Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan's father and son were silent, Ma Zihui suddenly became secretly anxious in his heart. Originally, he also thought that such a request was too difficult for a strong person. However, his second brother Ma Zijie kept speaking in front of Ma Tengxi, which made Ma Tengxi make such a decision. Ma Zihui has always believed that it is simply impossible to make Wu Xingquan's father and son take advantage of the Ma family.

"Brother Zihui, we have just entered Jilin, and we also have our difficulties." Wu Haoxuan said.

Ma Zihui's heart sank suddenly, he thought that Wu Haoxuan was going to politely refuse. In this case, the Ma family father and son may only be able to give up Heilongjiang. Otherwise, I won't even be able to take my own life.

"However, Brother Zihui, for the sake of the relationship between our two families, we can provide you with a batch of food and winter clothing. As for weapons and ammunition, we are also relatively short of them now, so I will see if we can draw a batch! It may not be too much, but it's a little bit of our heart! Wu Haoxuan pondered for a moment before saying.

After all, if you don't give any support, it's a bit too impersonal. A small amount of support for the Ma family's father and son, so that it can be regarded as giving them an explanation. After all, Wu Haoxuan is not a savior, and he will not take the affairs of the Ma family on his own.
