Chapter 28: Meet Zhang Zuolin
The second time I entered Fengtian City was three days later, and compared to more than a year ago, there was no obvious change in Fengtian City.
The first thing he did when he arrived in Fengtian City was, of course, to meet the new governor of the three eastern provinces, Xu Shichang, if he lost his manners, no matter how capable Qin Yu was, it would be in vain.
"The last general, Qin Yu, has seen the Governor." Qin Yu bowed to Xu Shichang.
"Excuse me, I heard that the bandits over there in Benxi are raging, the gentry and the people are suffering, and the patrol battalion over there has been nothing to do with them for more than ten years, you only took a year to clarify the bandits in Benxi, and you did this feat at a young age, and sure enough, the hero is a young man." Xu Shichang put down the music in his hand and said with a smile.
"Yuan Gongbao and the Governor jointly created a new army, and now it has gradually become the most important military force of the Qing Dynasty, an unprecedented feat of the imperial court. Qin Yu said with a look of reverence, this Xu Shichang exists as Yuan Shikai's think tank in the new army, and his status in the new army is very high. The governor of the three eastern provinces was one of the nine feudal officials in the entire Qing Dynasty.
"Don't wear a high hat with the old man, it's good for young people to be modest, too modest, that's pride, the old man is still studying behind closed doors at your age, but he hasn't done this achievement." Xu Shichang said so, but he was very happy to see his expression.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the commander of the front road of the Xinmin Patrol Battalion will take Zhang Zuolin to ask to see you." As soon as Qin Yu was about to say something, he heard a loud announcement from the soldiers at the door.
Zhang Zuolin, Qin Yu's heart perked, he didn't expect to meet Zhang Zuolin now, didn't he clean up Du Lisan in Liaozhong, why did he come to Fengtian City, could it be that Du Lisan had already been beheaded? So, that's a bit of a hassle.
At this time, a man in his early thirties walked in from the door, a man in his early thirties, who looked humble and shrewd.
"The last general, Zhang Zuolin, has seen the governor!"
"Yuting, you also rushed back to Fengtian City, is there any good news?" Xu Shichang said.
"The governor is wise, the last general has a little trick, the bandit Du Lisan is ambushed, and the last general ordered a group of men and horses to detour from the Octagonal Terrace, and has attacked Du Lisan's lair, and now the remnants of the bandits have broken up, and they have become frightened birds, and they can be clarified in ten days, and it is not a problem." Zhang Zuolin said respectfully.
"Ha Luha, okay, okay, could it be that the two most powerful generals in Fengtian gathered together today, you two should not have met yet, Yuting, this is Qin Yu of Benxi, young and promising." Xu Shichang said with a smile.
"Qin Yu is indeed the first time to see Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang first destroyed Tian Yuben, and then punished Du Lisan, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person to suppress bandits in Fengtian." Qin Yu said modestly, Zhang Zuolin debuted early, and he even leveled Du Lisan in such a short period of time, this achievement is temporarily incomparable to Qin Yu, and with this alone, it is enough to be promoted to the rank of commander all the way.
"This is Qin Yu from Benxi, and it is really better to see it than to hear it. At my age, I'm still working as a veterinarian in Gaokan Town. Zhang Zuolin laughed self-deprecatingly.
is worthy of Zhang Zuolin, although he subconsciously regards him as an opponent, but it is just the first time to meet, and listening to his words, the impression of him is not bad. To be honest, as a later generation, Qin Yu admires Zhang Zuolin very much, not only the new situation created by Zhang Zuolin, it can be said that the rise of Zhang Zuolin is a grassroots rise history, Zhang Zuolin has not read any books, but his vision is broader than that of the new generals in Beiyang, and Zhang Zuolin's character is also more reliable. It's not a little bit better than those who kill and take away once they gain power.
"Everyone has a handful of bitter tears when they are young, and when I went out of Gaizhou, the people of Gaizhou were whips and cannons, and I am still ashamed to think about it now." Qin Yu crossed over, and naturally had to memorize the things he had committed before, but during the Chinese New Year last year, he went to some families who had offended before and made some amends, which could be regarded as repentance for the evil things he had done before.
"Okay, you don't have to expose your own shortcomings, talk about business, Taonanfu, an important town in the northwest of Fengtian, was conquered by Mongolian bandits, and the impact is extremely bad, the northeast is the place where the imperial court is prosperous, don't let the Mongolian bandits sit big and threaten the dragon vein of the imperial court." Xu Shichang said, "Which of you is willing to go to Taonan to eradicate this group of Mongolian bandits for the imperial court." ”
"Your Excellency the Governor, I wish to go!" Qin Yu took the initiative to stand up and said, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the generals who could be promoted were all from backgrounds, the Lu Shi Department, the Baoding Department, the old army generals like Qin Yu who wanted to be promoted to Lu Shang only had military merits, and in Fengtian Province, the only source of military merit was to suppress bandits, so Qin Yu had to seize this only opportunity. Originally, Qin Yu was the best choice to suppress the bandit this time, but he didn't expect Zhang Zuolin to just level Du Lisan, which added a few twists and turns to the matter.
"The Taoliao area is an endless grassland, and its conditions are not as good as Benxi, can you endure this hardship?" Xu Shichang said, although Qin Yu has a little prestige, he is younger in the end, and he is not more stable than Zhang Zuolin.
"Your Excellency the Governor, as long as you do three things, it will not be difficult to quell the bandits." If you want to seize the opportunity, you naturally have to show some certainty.
"Oh, tell me, what are the three things you want to do?" Xu Shichang asked with interest.
"First, the Mongolian bandits are just a rabble, the reason why it is difficult to exterminate, in the final analysis, is that the Mongolian bandits take advantage of the foot strength, most of the officers and soldiers are infantry, and the two legs can not run the four legs of the Mongolian bandits, so that the Mongolian bandits occupy a great advantage, they want to fight, they want to go, when there are many officers and soldiers, the other party scatters in a hurry, and when the officers and soldiers are few, the other party surrounds and destroys the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop. Therefore, if you want to deal with the Mongolian bandits, the officers and soldiers must change from infantry to cavalry. ”
"Second, time, the bandits should not be in a hurry, once they are anxious, they will be taken advantage of by the enemy, the Mongolian bandits are local operations, they have grown up in the grassland since childhood, they are familiar with the environment of the grassland, occupy the geographical advantage, after the official army arrives, it will inevitably take a considerable amount of time to understand the local situation, understand the Mongolian bandits, in order to uproot them in one fell swoop,"
"Third, the strength of the army, there are only four battalions under the humble position, and the previous time to deal with Tian Yuben was because there were militia groups, police, and patrol troops in all counties in Mukden. Tian Yu could only be active in the area of Tiesha Mountain, but Baiyin Dalai, Tao Ketao and others already have thousands of people, coming and going like the wind, and already have the strength to attack some county seats, the official army must be divided into troops to defend, the strength is thin, once the troops are insufficient, it is easy to be broken by the Mongolian bandits. ”
"You have some truth in what you say, but according to what you said, if you are asked to exterminate the Mongolian bandits, how many troops and how much time will it take?" Xu Shichang asked.
"It can't add up to less than six to seven battalions, and with a little training, about two years is enough." Qin Yu thought for a moment and said.
"There is no joke in the army." Xu Shichang's face was solemn, and Zhang Zuolin calmed down
"Lord Governor, Qin Yu has four battalions in his hands, and the last general has five battalions in his hands, and the combined strength is enough to deal with the Mongolian bandits, plus there are not only Baiyin Dalai in the Taoliao area, but also Tao Ketao, Batarcang, Curly Pig Iron, Baiyin Tusi and the like, the last general and Qin Yu will definitely be able to wipe out the Mongolian bandits." Zhang Zuolin arched his hand.
"Yuting, you first count all Du Lisan's henchmen, it is not an overnight thing to exterminate the bandits, after the Liaozhong area is completely pacified, you will go to Taoliao to exterminate the bandits with Qin Yu." Xu Shichang pondered for a while and said, the current situation in Liaozhong is still inseparable from Zhang Zuolin.
Hearing Zhang Zuolin's voice, Qin Yu's heart sank, Zhang Zuolin, who could leave a strong mark in history, really had an extraordinary vision, and it seemed that he also saw the fastest way for him to be promoted from the patrol army.
