After that banquet, Liu Jian implemented a series of measures to consolidate and unite the troops, Liu Jian clearly knew that the reason for the existence of regional confrontation was that some veterans bullied the recruits, and the veterans of the cavalry advance team were mainly southerners, so it caused confrontation between regions.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to tackle the root cause.

Liu Jian first deliberately disorganized the members of several units divided by geography in the cavalry advance team, and then mixed them into different units. Fortunately, the cavalry formed combat effectiveness very quickly, and this reorganization did not have much impact on them.

After the reorganization, Liu Jian organized several sports activities and military skill competitions within the troops, and after several activities, the unity between the various units was significantly enhanced, and the previous confrontation also disappeared a lot. Finally, Liu Jian will also set up a military discipline picket team, which will be composed of a guard battalion of the military headquarters, and will focus on dealing with problems such as veterans bullying new recruits.

After a few sets of combination punches, the problem finally waited to be solved.

Time flies in a blink of an eye, and it is the autumn of the year, and the grassland ushers in the familiar scene of "the sky is vast and the grass is blowing, and the cattle and sheep are low", after a period of trimming, the cavalry advance team has been replenished, and the horses are fat and strong. In addition, not long ago, the cavalry unit was replenished with a batch of Soviet-made Mosina gan rifles, and all kinds of light and heavy firepower are now very complete, and Batu is full of confidence in his troops.

He knew it was time to fight King De for real.

King De, who was far away in Guisui, also had the same feeling as Batu at this time, he believed that the grassland was always the territory of the prince, and a poor boy with a horse pole in a herdsman could lead the troops to fight? When he heard about Batu's background, King De dismissed it.

However, the Northern Expeditionary Army came over, and King De still had to prepare. Not long ago, he purchased a large number of Japanese equipment through Japanese merchants, and the Mongolian Xinjiang army under his command was also strong and strong, and he believed that the Northern Expeditionary Army that wanted to crusade was a rebellious minister and thief, and he would definitely be defeated under the sabre of the steppe warriors.

Inside, King Dewang is a complex of contradictions. This can be seen in his behavior. On the one hand, he is a staunch Manchu remnant, this meat-faced Mongolian prince has a crazy loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, when Zhang Xun, Kang Youwei and others supported Puyi's restoration, he jumped up with joy, and hurriedly telegraphed to indicate belonging, but this farce did not last a few days before it ended. Later, when he learned that Pu Yi was driven out of the Forbidden City, King De was a bit sad and sad, and he took his family and entourage to face the direction of Beijing for several days, and looked pained with tears on his face, in fact, it was for the sake of suffering.

On the other hand, on the other hand, the king wanted to firmly promote the reform and *, which was a bit contrary to the stubborn loyalty to the former Qing Dynasty.

In fact, in the final analysis, this person just wants to be for his own dominance, Huang Ke commented on King De's behavior, "It is a Manchu 'fake prince' who wants to restore feudal rule and safeguard his own interests."

When Huang Ke arrived at the Yellow River, the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army also issued an order to the cavalry advance team where Batu was: Be sure to drive King De and their remnants out of the Mongolian steppe before the first heavy snowfall comes.

Five years ago, he didn't dare to imagine that he would meet the king of Germany, who was in power in the Mongolian steppe, but now he felt that the life of the king was in his hands, and there were other high-ranking officials and nobles in his hands.

However, carrying a gun to fight is not for his own vain fantasies. Before this, Huang Ke said very clearly, conquer Mongolia and let it be under the control of the central government.

Thousands of miles forward, the intention of the lone army to go deep is here, and now at the final moment, Suiyuan can only succeed in the battle, and there is no room for failure.

When the cavalry advance team and the army of King De were preparing for a decisive battle, the Feng army at this time had all retreated from the south of the Yellow River, and after all the troops retreated to Zhili and other places, the situation in the north was brewing a great change, and this change can be said to be the last struggle of the Beiyang warlords.

Before this, the Feng army seized the opportunity of Wu Peifu's power vacuum, and sent troops to grab territory in Henan, Shanxi and other places, but it was not easy in these places, and the Red Gun Society in Henan and Yan Laoxi in Shanxi made small moves for the Feng army from time to time.

It didn't take long for the Northern Expeditionary Army to fight, and the Feng army had no way to withdraw.

After Wu Peifu collapsed, Zhang Zuolin became the de facto and nominal first person among the Beiyang warlords. As the pace of the Northern Expeditionary Army continued to accelerate, the Beiyang warlords faced the most serious threat in history, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Beiyang warlords would not last long.

In the face of this crisis, the central government in Beijing has been dragging its feet again and again for half a year, but it has not been able to come up with a solution, and Gu Weijun has resigned again and again, he is unwilling to manage this mess anymore. But Zhang Zuolin, the big boss in the background, has always been undecided, he doesn't know whether to give up Beijing and return to his hometown in Northeast China?

At noon, Zhang Zuolin sat in a rocking chair in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, smoking a big cigarette pouch one by one. He squinted his eyes and fell asleep after a while.

Bang! The cannon sounded in the sky, Zhang Zuolin got up quickly, and at this time, the house in the prince's mansion had begun to fall, and with a bang, Zhang Zuolin was smashed down by the falling beam...... Yes! Zhang Zuolin woke up suddenly, it turned out to be a dream.

"Father, why are you asleep here?" Zhang Xueliang came over and put a cloak on Zhang Zuolin to prevent him from catching a cold at this time.

Zhang Zuolin let out a long sigh and slowly stood up: "Little Liuzi, what time is it?" ”

"Father, it's just five o'clock, and you haven't been asleep for long" Zhang Xueliang raised his hand to look at his watch and casually told him the time. Zhang Zuolin raised his head, looking at the sun in the west that was no longer dazzling, he was a little depressed, the autumn sun had set early, looking at the red sunset, he felt a little similar to his own situation.

"Little Liuzi, do you want to tell me if we two should stay in Beijing City? I see that Huang Ke is about the same age as you, I didn't expect such a young person to be able to make such a big move? It seems that this person really has two brushes" Zhang Zuolin stood up and chatted casually with Zhang Xueliang.

"Father, can we hold Beijing?" Zhang Zuolin asked him what was going on, and he actually knew very well in his heart that according to the current situation, not only was it difficult for Beijing to live, but even the three eastern provinces he felt a little dangerous.

"Hmph" Zhang Zuolin showed displeasure, he was a little dissatisfied with his eldest son's performance, "Little Liuzi, don't you know about me?" You're out there hanging out with women all day. I tell you, it's okay to play with women, but don't be played by women, you have to pay attention in the future! ”

"What my father taught me, what my father taught me" Zhang Xueliang didn't dare to speak more, he didn't make amends for his father's anger again and again.

Zhang Zuolin let out a sigh of relief, "Little Liuzi, what you just said is right, looking at the attitude of the Southern Revolutionary Party, we can't stop it if we want to, but the edge is revealed!" That Huang Ke has behaved too much over the years, the Japanese are so easy to mess with? Right now in Jinan, it's enough for his kid to drink a pot."

"Father means that we withdraw our troops?" Zhang Xueliang asked tentatively.

Zhang Zuolin shook his head, "Stay in Beijing first, it's really not okay, let's get out of the customs." When they go to the Northeast, there are both Japanese and our old territory, what do they dare not do? ”

Zhang Xueliang smiled, "Father Gao Jian! ”

Huang Ke, who was far away in Wuhan, was formulating a detailed battle plan, he did not intend to give Zhang Zuolin any chance, Huang Ke was determined to drive the Zhang family father and son out, so as not to give the northeast to the Japanese by the father and son in the future.

Huang Ke really didn't have a good impression of the Zhang family father and son, in his eyes, that bearded Zhang Dashuai was a traitor who caused the greatest harm to the Japanese in betraying China's interests.

Think about it, those who later overturned the case for Zhang Zuolin and said that this bearded man was a patriotic warlord is really ridiculous. Think about it, the Japanese invasion plans such as the "Manchurian and Mongolian Five Roads", which were not realized during the reigns of Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui, were gradually advanced with the active cooperation of Zhang Zuolin.

In addition to these, the "Sino-Japanese joint venture" during Zhang Zuolin's period gave all the good things in Northeast China to the Japanese, which directly led to the rapid expansion of Japanese power in Northeast China, and later the Japanese were able to use Northeast China as a base to fully invade China, much of which was due to Zhang Zuolin's betrayal of Chinese interests again and again.

What made Huang Ke feel hypocritical the most was that this guy even said that he didn't dare to betray any national interests, which was really a politician's face, shameful.

For this kind of traitor, Huang Ke felt that he had to get rid of it as soon as possible, so he didn't intend to leave any room for the Zhang family and his son to fight back, and he decided to learn from the later practice of the People's Liberation Army "closing the door and beating the dog" and eat all the Feng system.

Strategy belongs to strategy, and when it comes to specific implementation, Huang Ke still feels that it is a little difficult, and the Northeast Army is well-equipped and well-trained, and it is quite difficult to eat it in one go.

But for now, Huang Ke still has to solve a * annoyance, which will accompany him for a long time in the future - the Japanese.

When the troops entered Jinan, they were already in a-for-tat confrontation with the Japanese. The first of the Eastern Route Army to enter Jinan was an army led by Lin Zuoda, who had shown extraordinary military talent since the siege of Anqing, which had earned him a high honor.

But as soon as the troops arrived in Jinan to take over various departments, the Japanese came out to make trouble, and Lin Zuoda felt that this kind of difficulty was much more difficult than the difficulties on the battlefield.
