If you want to exterminate the Zhuanghe Protector Army, you will inevitably offend the Japanese, and looking at the generals under him, only Zhang Tinglan can have enough ability to deal with the Japanese, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Zhang Tinglan has been verified by actual combat, and it is more than enough to deal with those revolutionary parties.

Zhang Zuolin nodded: "Humble words, this time you will command a regiment to go over, and let the neighbors follow you, and you will discuss more in case of trouble." ”

Lao Zhang also sent Yang Yuting out and asked his two latest generals to deal with this matter together, which shows Lao Zhang's attention, Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting hurriedly went to prepare.

The independent brigade has already been approved for expansion, and a large-scale recruitment of new recruits will begin after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the adjustment of the establishment has begun. The heavy artillery battalion that was originally hanging under the independent brigade was transferred away by Lao Zhang and became Zhang Zuolin's direct subordinate unit, as the most powerful artillery in Fengtian, it was only natural that it was managed by Lao Zhang himself.

According to Jihua, an artillery regiment should be set up under the garrison division, a total of three battalions, each battalion of twelve 75-mm guns. At present, Fengjun's family background is not enough, and there are only two battalions under the artillery regiment, but Lao Zhang has promised that all the artillery sent by Yuan Shikai this time will be handed over to the garrison division, so that the artillery regiment will be complete.

In this battle, Zhang Tinglan transferred an artillery battalion in order to strengthen firepower, fight quickly, and at the same time deal with possible Japanese intervention. In addition, Zhang Zuoxiang handed over the sniper platoon to Zhang Tinglan, and these sharpshooters are becoming more and more mature and can often play an unexpected role.

When the people and supplies were ready, Lao Zhang called Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting over again.

"The situation in front of you is complicated, do you have a plan?"

"Dashuai, I have discussed it with Humble Yan, and every crisis comes with an opportunity, so take advantage of it. We will be able to kill many birds with one stone. It can inflict a heavy blow on the revolutionary party Shili in Mukden and cut off the tentacles of the Japanese. You can also take this opportunity to show your loyalty to Yuan Shikai, we are sincerely dealing with the Protector Army, so that Lao Yuan can give more benefits. In addition, we can also take this opportunity to send troops to Dongbiandao and take Dongbiandao into our own hands. ”

No matter what banner the revolutionary party had, they were financed by the Japanese and had become a card in the hands of the Japanese, which could only play the role of disturbing the law and order in Mukden, so they must be severely punished. Completely destroy and scrap this card, which is also the main purpose of Zhang Tinglan's war.

Yuan Shikai has come to the end of his hero, he has run out of oil and dried up, and he can't squeeze too much. But the appearance of the Protector Army in Mukden at least gave the Feng army a delay in sending troops. An opportunity to ask for benefits. Let Lao Yuan continue to believe in the loyalty of the Feng army. It can also block the mouths of other Beiyang high-level officials.

It is best to let Lao Yuan trust Zhang Zuolin until Lao Yuan hangs up, and when Zhang Zuolin bargains with Beiyang again, he will have one more card.

In fact, among these three points, Lao Zhang attaches the most importance to the third point. The idea of restricting Ma Longtan has always been hidden in Zhang Zuolin's heart, as a sworn brother, Zhang Zuolin knows Ma Longtan very well, and even fears him a little.

is different from reckless characters like Zhang Zuolin. Ma Longtan was born in a wealthy family, can write and martial arts, has excellent calligraphy, strictly governs the army, and is very popular with the people. Although Lao Zhang knew that Ma Longtan was not keen on fame and fortune and would not jump out to compete for power and profit with him like Feng Delin, such a big brother also made Zhang Zuolin extremely jealous and regarded it as a major threat to his governor's throne.

If he can take advantage of the opportunity in front of him, let his subordinates enter the interior of Dongbian Road and shake the foundation of Ma Longtan, it is also a good thing to dream, so Zhang Zuolin is very happy, and the two subordinates are very clear-headed, so he can rest assured.

"You let it go, I'll back you up in Mukden."

Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting immediately bid farewell to Lao Yuan, and took the army to secretly go to Fengcheng, Zhang Tinglan has always attached great importance to intelligence work, and after the army was not mobilized, he had already inquired into detailed information, and now there are information coming one after another.

"Neighbor Ge, He Tianjiong took 200,000 yen, ran to Zhuanghe, and contacted the local revolutionary party Gu Renyi, who had already used the money to start recruiting troops, and it is said that the number of people gathered exceeded 1,000."

"I haven't heard much of He Tianjiong, but Gu Renyi is quite famous, in the Xinhai year, he was the first to raise troops outside the Guanxi to resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and all the Zhuanghe area was occupied by him. Later, Lan Tianwei came to the three eastern provinces, and wanted to take the dominant power of the three eastern provinces without bloodshed, but he was calculated by the marshal and forced away Lan Tianwei by force. Gu Renyi, who defected to the revolutionary party, also lost the opportunity, and for many years Gu Renyi was indignant and wanted to find an opportunity to make a comeback. ”

Yang Yuting talked about the old things during the Xinhai Revolution, and Zhang Tinglan also knew something about this period, Lan Tianwei and other revolutionaries wanted to get Fengtian in their hands, and then march from outside the border to smash Huanglong.

The plan is good, but without the strength everything is a mirror, Lao Zhang resolutely led the army to support the governor Zhao Erxun, and drove away Lan Tianwei, and the revolutionary party was leaderless, and it would not become any climate.

It's just that they are not willing to be lonely, as long as there is a little wind and grass, they will jump out, and the slogan is loud and loud, but whether it is to save the country or chaos the country, everyone has an account in their hearts.

"Neighbor Ge, looking at the actions of the revolutionary party for many years, it is a professional rebellion gang, they rebelled during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and when they arrived at Yuan Shikai, they still want to make trouble, and they will not stop for a moment!"

"Humble words, listening to your tone, I am very repulsive to the revolutionary party, but young people all support the ideas of the revolutionary party, and there are not a few people who worship Sun Wen and others, thinking that he can save China."

"Neighbor Ge, needless to say anything else, is the relationship between Sun Wen and the Japanese, which proves that he can't save the country, he can only mess with the country. The Japanese are eyeing China and are bent on devouring it, and anyone with a discerning eye knows this, and the Japanese are not stupid, can they support a person who can lead China to strength? ”

Yang Yuting said with a smile: "The angle of looking at the problem is really peculiar, but it is also very reasonable, Sun Wen went into exile in Japan every time he failed, relying on the support of the Japanese, he made a comeback, and it seems that he is really a card in Japan's hand." ”

"In fact, there is nothing wrong with using foreign shili, and our development in Fengtian also needs to rely on the liliang of foreigners, but the revolutionary party blindly relies on Japan, but does not want to be independent. Moreover, what I am most unaccustomed to is that the revolutionary party only knows how to destroy, not how to build. In the final analysis, if we want the country to be strong and the people to be rich, we must develop industry, strengthen education, promote the good and eliminate the bad, and rectify the rule of officials. The revolutionary party did not do any of this real work, relying only on slogans to fool the enthusiastic youth, who were not revolutionary, but trying to kill people for money. ”

Zhang Tinglan's argument is actually the same as what he said at Peking University, the core is two words: hard work! Yang Yuting was originally more or less inclined to the revolutionary party and agreed with some of their ideas, but now when he heard Zhang Tinglan's statement, he was also quite emotional.

What he said is not of much value, the key is to see what he has done, Sun Wen opened his mouth is 200,000 kilometers of railway, this is completely a mouth full of trains, building a railway is not wrong, but always think about the cost of building a railway, but also carefully demonstrate the line of each railway, weigh various schemes, and choose the best of the best.

In fact, China's mountainous terrain made it impossible to build railways without restrictions like the United States, and even in later generations, the length of railways did not reach 200,000 kilometers.

Yang Yuting was marching while discussing various issues with Zhang Tinglan, and the more he talked about it, the more Yang Yuting admired Zhang Tinglan, a young man less than twenty years old, can calm down, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and not be fooled by those bells and whistles, which is indeed amazing.

The tacit understanding between the two people also increased, and soon they came to Fengcheng, Ma Longtan also got Zhang Zuolin's telegram, the old man was very unhappy, and when he saw Zhang Tinglan, he said: "Yuting doesn't trust me, the eldest brother, a few revolutionary parties can't afford to make anything, do you still need to transfer troops from Fengtian?" ”

As soon as Zhang Tinglan saw Ma Longtan's attitude, he knew that although he was known as Wen Taowu, his brain could no longer keep up with the times, and he could not see clearly the harm to the revolutionary party.

"The town guard, Yu Shuai has obtained information, the revolutionary party has received the support of the Japanese, once there is chaos, the entire Liaodong will be unstable, so we are asked to come over to help." Yang Yuting hurriedly explained.

Ma Longtan's brows were still furrowed, and he said: "Not necessarily, many people in the revolutionary party are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and their methods are different, but they are all for the good of this country." Moreover, Yuan Shikai's perverse actions are indeed unpopular, and it is inevitable that some people will oppose them. ”

"The little nephew has some different opinions, as the saying goes, whoever eats, to whom, the revolutionary party takes the money from the Japanese, and it has to do things for the Japanese, this is a matter of course, you have been with the Japanese for so long, have they done anything good?"

Ma Longtan has a straightforward temperament, and he can still listen to the advice, stroked his long beard, kept thinking, and then asked: "Did the revolutionaries really collude with the Japanese?" ”

"It's true, He Tianjiong is coming back from Japan, with a lot of yen tickets in his hand, and he is recruiting troops, and the number of his men is already nearly 1,000."

"In that case, it should indeed be exterminated, do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Tinglan asked for the map, spread it in front of Ma Longtan, pointed to Dalian and Lushun, and then pointed to Zhuanghe and other places.

"Have you noticed that the Japanese supported the revolutionary party to make trouble in Zhuanghe, in fact, they extended their shili out of the Luda, and after Zhuanghe were Yingkou and Dandong, which was a step-by-step annexation of the entire Liaodong Peninsula. In the vicinity of Luda, there is already a very powerful revolutionary party, and I think it is best to adopt the method of luring the snake out of the hole, so that the revolutionary party that is usually hidden in the shadows can jump out, and then encircle and annihilate it in one fell swoop, so as to cut off the claws of the Japanese.
