Chapter 109: Battle Summary
Zhang Tinglan has done so many things, for Zhang Zuolin, it can be said that he has worked hard for Zhang Zuolin, if there is no Zhang Tinglan's toss, the 27th Division is afraid that it will still look like a flower child, and there will be no prosperity in front of it at all.
It was precisely by relying on smuggling that the 27th Division was basically replaced with Shuilianzhu rifles, equipped with heavy machine guns, and also pulled up a heavy artillery battalion, which was absolutely second to none among all local troops. In addition, the shortage of funds was solved, and the Fengtian merchants were successfully tied to the battlefield car of the 27th Division, and the official silver number was taken, and Lao Zhang did not worry about money during this time.
There is also the introduction of Wang Yongjiang, although there is not much contact, Lao Zhang also knows that it is a rare talent.
If you want to become a haode family, the most important thing is to reward and punish clearly, reward for merit, punish for mistakes, and level a bowl of water, otherwise who will believe you, and where will the prestige come from.
Zhang Tinglan must be rewarded, but how to reward has become a piece of Lao Zhang's heart, with merit and ability, it is completely okay to block one side alone, but a bunch of uncles and uncles are in the front, and they rush to a high position, and they must be uncomfortable in the hearts of the older generation.
And Zhang Zuolin still has his own careful thoughts, Zhang Tinglan is so capable, plus Zhang Zuoxiang, it is enough to make Lao Zhang feel threatened. After thinking about it, Lao Zhang decided to arrange Zhang Tinglan in the army, although becoming an officer, he would accelerate the cultivation of his own shili.
But there is a pattern of promotion in the army, at least Zhang Tinglan has to work for a few years before he can be promoted to a high position, and Lao Zhang can also use this time to carefully observe this nephew to see if he can be reused.
Originally, it was very haode assumption, but I didn't expect someone to object, and Lao Zhang's brows furrowed.
"Fourth brother, Tinglan is our nephew. During this time, he has made a lot of contributions, let him experience and experience, and when we get old, we will point to these children, do you still have any opinions? ”
Tang Yulin's face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said: "Seventh Master, there are so many troops, and the official position is also a radish and a pit, how many old brothers have not been promoted, is it appropriate to arrange a junior to be the head of the regiment?" What do you think about others? Let's talk about nurturing young people. I also agree, but I can't just cultivate Zhang Zuoxiang's son, I have two sons, Jinghui has another son, plus the sixth son. These kids deserve a chance! ”
Listening to Tang Yulin's words, several people present pouted. Just his two sons. Fengtian is a famous evil boy, a street bully, who doesn't do business, loves to cause trouble, and can't support the wall with mud at all. As for Zhang Jinghui's son, he is not very old. But it's also a problem, and even smoking opium and playing with women is not a material to be made.
Although he was dismissive of Tang Yulin's words. But it also reminded everyone that among the younger generation of Fengjun, Zhang Tinglan emerged early, and the other children are all full of bastards. Therefore, everyone's vision of Zhang Zuoxiang is a little different, and he still teaches his children well!
"The children are to be cultivated, and after a while, I am going to reopen the lecture hall and let them all go in and study, and Tinglan is no exception. However, Tinglan has done a good job during this time, and has put in a lot of effort, so it's not too much to give a head of the regiment! ”
"Not excessive? What did he do, I'm a deputy division commander, why don't I know anything about it? ”
"Fourth brother, the matter in charge of Tinglan is very important and widely implicated, I didn't tell you!"
Tang Yulin sneered: "Seventh Master, I understand, you think the old soup is useless, in the past, our buddies had nothing to talk about, but now you don't look for me for anything, and I, the brigade commander, are also an eyesore, so you just withdraw me!" ”
In fact, Tang Yulin is not in a mood once or twice, every time it involves personnel appointments, Tang Yulin always has to make trouble. Especially this time, Lao Tang was even more uncomfortable, in the past, he had to discuss major and minor matters with him, and since this period of time, he has basically been excluded from the decision-making circle, and it is strange that he can balance his heart.
Lao Zhang's heart is also unhappy, whether it is the smuggling of Russia, or the construction of the North Market, supporting commercial development, until the competition with the Japanese again and again, which thing can Tang Yulin participate in, and what can he discuss!
Lao Zhang is now transforming from a general to a prince, and the things he deals with are becoming more and more complicated, how can Tang Yulin's level be done, tell him that not only can he not help, but also the risk of leaking secrets.
"Fourth brother, some things are really not suitable for you to participate in, you just take the troops well, train the soldiers well, and charge into battle in the future, and you have to rely on the fourth brother!"
"Charge ahead, reward merit and deeds, what is the truth!" Tang Yulin muttered a few words, his stomach was full of complaints, but he couldn't change Zhang Zuolin's opinion, so he could only leave the tiger hall with a huff. When he walked out of the Shuai Mansion, Lao Tang showed a strange look in the corner of his eyes, and pulled his cuffs tightly, and there was a secret letter hidden in the sleeves!
"Seventh Master, after this turmoil, Yuan Shikai will also understand that Duan Zhigui can't control Fengtian, and everything depends on you. But there is still some hesitation, the throne of the governor is actually within reach, I think only one more chip is needed! ”
"Let's talk about it, if it makes sense, it proves that this head of the regiment has not given you in vain!"
"Look at what you said, whether you are promoted or not, shouldn't I give you advice?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "This time the Japanese made a rice commotion, and when you hear the name, you know that the Japanese don't have enough food to eat." I have heard that the Japanese government has been buying grain at low prices in Korea in order to quell the turmoil in the country. And they also began to buy grain in the Northeast, so we simply sent a favor to help the Japanese buy grain. Ease the relationship, as long as the Japanese do not object to you being the governor, this position will not be able to run! ”
From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Tinglan wanted to let the Japanese starve to death, but this was obviously unrealistic, because the rice riot was detonated by Zhang Tinglan in advance, the conditions in all aspects were not mature, and the lethality was far less than in history, and the Japanese recovered quickly.
Moreover, if the Japanese were really hungry and crazy, they might not send troops to seize the three eastern provinces, and with the current strength of the Feng army, they would not be able to stop it at all.
In addition, the Japanese also launched an acquisition operation, and since they couldn't stop it, they simply gave it to Japan as a favor.
"Seven masters, you can propose to the Japanese side that we come forward to buy grain, and then sell it to Japan at a nine-percent discount, the Japanese who are in a difficult situation will definitely thank you, and then we will use the newspaper to publicize it, so that the Japanese will not interfere with your ascension to the throne of the governor!"
Lao Zhang has the posture of a hero, so he naturally will not be emotional, and he has already agreed with this method in his heart, but he is still reluctant to do so.
"These little devils have tossed us enough, we still have to go up the pole, discount, and send them food, why don't God starve these beasts to death!"
"Cheap grain may not be delicious, what we have to do is to take this opportunity to control the grain trade, and in the future, the grain of the three eastern provinces will have to pass through our hands before it can be exported for export. The most valuable thing in the three eastern provinces is not grain, not ginseng, but soybeans! When we have enough strength, we will expand the scale of the grain company and turn it into an agricultural product export company, so as to snatch back the power of soybean export. ”
During the period of the Republic of China, the soybean in the Northeast was definitely a fist product, and the export volume accounted for about ninety percent of Shijie, which was enough to form a monopoly, and there were four or five billion oceans of profits every year, which was definitely an astronomical amount.
However, it is a pity that after the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese moved the center of the oil extraction industry from Yingkou to Dalian, and it was under the control of Japan. Since then, the people of Northeast China have become part-time workers for the Japanese, working hard, but watching Japan monopolize soybean oil exports and make huge profits, they can only earn a hard-earned money.
This is also the situation that Zhang Tinglan only learned after coming to this time and space, and the resentment in his heart became more and more resentful. The wealth that Japan plundered from China will be turned into machine guns, artillery, aircraft and tanks, and twenty years later, the Japanese used these weapons to massacre the Chinese, and tens of millions of compatriots died tragically, becoming the deepest wound in the heart of every Chinese.
Since it is in this era, it is impossible to sit back and watch this situation continue, Zhang Tinglan has long set his sights on soybeans, but it is precisely because the profits are too lucrative, rashly moving this piece of fat, Japan will definitely go crazy, so Zhang Tinglan can only take a roundabout action, starting from controlling food.
Lao Zhang patted Zhang Tinglan on the shoulder: "Work hard, don't care what Tang Yulin thinks, these long-term plans are not something he can understand, the Seventh Master will not treat you badly when he comes!" ”
Lao Zhang is also a man of temperament, Tang Yulin has just made trouble, and no one will be in a good mood, but Zhang Tinglan not only complained to himself, but also took the initiative to help plan the position of the governor and plan the future economic development, everything is the most concerned thing in his heart, how can Lao Zhang not be moved!
After bidding farewell to Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Tinglan returned to the Independent Brigade and officially took office. However, Zhang Tinglan couldn't wait, and he asked to train the existing recruits as soon as possible.
Starting from the queue housekeeping, everything is strictly required, eating, washing, talking, sitting and lying must have a unified standard. It is necessary to train these recruits for their laziness and turn them into real combatants.
The ideal is very good, but it is not easy for these recruits to train, even the most basic left and right are not clear, the queue is even more twisted, the instructor and Zhang Tinglan have prepared a wooden stick, whoever makes a mistake and is merciless, will give a stick.
When he was training on the school field, Yang Yuting suddenly came over, after a month of anti-bandit action, Yang Yuting's talent was officially recognized by Zhang Zuolin, these days he often goes in and out of the Shuaifu, and Lao Zhang discusses the affairs of the army, and is very busy.
"Mr. Lingge, why do you have time to look for me, didn't you go to the Marshal's Mansion?"
"Humble words, what you said is not right, I am still the commander of the heavy artillery battalion, and the people of the independent brigade who are serious about it, are there any problems with you, the regiment commander, to discuss something?"
While speaking, Yang Yuting grabbed Zhang Tinglan and said in a low voice: "We fought with the Japanese, I have been reflecting on this time, don't look at us winning, but the gap with the Japanese soldiers is too big, I will summarize something, you can help me take a look!" (To be continued......)
