"Damn, this guy surnamed Xu also wants to learn from us!" Lao Zhang smiled and put the power on the table, and then said to his henchmen: "Everyone, there is a change in Heilongjiang, the division commander Xu Lanzhou mobilized his subordinates to drive away the governor Zhu Qinglan, and also fabricated Zhu Qinglan's crimes, saying that he colluded with the revolutionary party in a vain attempt to launch an uprising in Heilongjiang, and responded to Cai Yi's national protection army to jointly overthrow Beiyang. ”

"Haha, this is called the sin of wanting to add without excuse!" Sun Liechen said with a smile on the side: "Zhu Qinglan was an official in Fengtian in his early years, and later entered Sichuan with Zhao Erxun, we have a lot of dealings with him, although Zhu Qinglan is inclined to the revolutionary party, but to say that he wants to launch an uprising in Heilongjiang, I absolutely do not believe it." ”

Among the three eastern provinces, except for Fengtian, Heilongjiang and Jilin are both weak in population and financial difficulties, and at the same time there is border pressure, and Zhu Qinglan still has no control over the military power in Heilongjiang, so it is even more impossible to make trouble. Judging from the current situation, Xu Lanzhou wants to follow Zhang Zuolin's example, drive away the overseers who have no military power, and then replace them himself.

"No matter what he thinks, all in all, Heilongjiang is going to be in trouble, what do you think you should do?"

"Dashuai, as the so-called opportunity must not be lost and never come again, since Heilongjiang is in chaos, we should seize the opportunity, take advantage of the situation to take Heilongjiang, and control the three provinces in our hands." Yang Yuting also spoke.

Lao Zhang also thinks so, although the old in-laws Bao Guiqing and Zhang Zuolin can't be completely compatible, but since Bao Guiqing was driven away, Fengjun's shili has inexorably penetrated into Jilin, among the three eastern provinces, only Heilongjiang is left, Lao Zhang is looking forward to the opportunity to intervene every day, and now Heilongjiang is in chaos, how can he let it go.

"Meddling is a certainty. It's just who we should support, you all talk about it! ”

Now there are two major shili in Heilongjiang, one is Zhu Qinglan, and the other is the division commander Xu Lanzhou, in comparison, Xu Lanzhou is a powerful faction in Heilongjiang, holding nearly seven or eight thousand guns under his hands, and Zhu Qinglan is a foreign overseer, and Shili in his hands cannot be compared with Xu Lanzhou.

"Dashuai, I think I should support Xu Lanzhou. His strength is strong, and he is not speaking reasonably, but to see whose waist is hard, Xu Lanzhou has many generals, and Zhu Qinglan is a bare-bones overseer. can't fight Xu Lanzhou at all. Zhang Haipeng spoke on the side, he turned out to be Feng Delin's subordinate. Now it is also attached to Zhang Zuolin. became an important staff officer of Lao Zhang.

Zhang Zuolin listened to Zhang Haipeng's words and nodded slightly, according to common sense, it is true, you should support the side with a greater chance of winning. However, Zhang Tinglan on the side shook his head slightly, it was precisely because Xu Lanzhou Shili was strong that he couldn't support him.

Play politics. Unlike betting, what Zhang Zuolin needs now is to take the entire Heilongjiang, eliminate the local shili, and unify the three provinces. That's the biggest goal. Once Xu Lanzhou is supported, it will definitely make Xu Lanzhou's shili bigger, and when the time comes, the Feng army will deal with Xu Lanzhou, but I am afraid that the trouble will be even greater.

Moreover, driving away Zhu Qinglan will inevitably cause Beiyang's dissatisfaction, and at that time, maybe Beiyang will arrange another overseer, and Zhang Zuolin and Xu Lanzhou will not be able to get it.

"Marshal, I think it's better to support Zhu Qinglan, he is the overseer, rightly speaking, let's use Zhu Qinglan's name to eradicate the local shili in Heilongjiang, when the time comes, Zhu Qinglan will be grateful to Dade, Heilongjiang can completely fall into our hands, and Zhu Qinglan is in one day, Beiyang has no excuse to interfere."

Zhang Tinglan put forward his own opinions, Yang Yuting was also bright, he also said: "Dashuai, I heard that Xu Lanzhou is a good martial artist, and he is nicknamed Sai Tianba, he is a hard bone, if he replaces Zhu Qinglan, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future, it is better to follow the idea of humble words, let's call to support Zhu Qinglan, and send troops into Heilongjiang when necessary to eradicate Xu Lanzhou." ”

Yang Yuting, as Lao Zhang's chief of staff, spoke with great weight, and Zhang Zuolin kept calculating in his heart, Heilongjiang has only one division of troops, and the rest of the troops are old armies such as patrol battalions, with limited combat effectiveness, and the Feng army now has an absolute advantage of four divisions, and it should indeed be in one go to eliminate Xu Lanzhou and control Heilongjiang in one fell swoop.

Therefore, under the banner of supporting Zhu Qinglan, it is very good, Lao Zhang looked at Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting approvingly, these two young people's thinking is indeed sharper than that of the older generation, and their thinking is more reasonable.

Although Zhang Zuolin still tried his best to reuse the old brothers, he also had to admit that these old brothers who were born in the green forest really did not have a good strategic vision, and if Fengjun wanted to develop, it must rely on a new generation of talents, young people who really have knowledge and ability.

"Zanyao, you will send a telegram to Zhu Qinglan on my behalf, saying that Fengjun is willing to be his backing, and resolutely does not allow Lanzhou to act recklessly, and when necessary, we can provide military support."

Sun Liechen hurriedly nodded in agreement, and at this time, Lao Zhang looked at the people present again, just by lip service, no one will listen to you, and if necessary, you have to use strong force to deter.

Therefore, the Feng army needs to send troops to Heilongjiang, but it is quite a headache to send who to send over, and it stands to reason that the 27th Division and the garrison division are the most powerful in combat, as long as they are sent over, it will definitely not be a problem to deal with Xu Lanzhou. But we also have to consider the balance of our subordinates, and we can't just let these two troops receive awards for meritorious service, but everyone else will watch.

Lao Zhang pondered for a while, and then said: "This time the task of assisting Zhu Qinglan will be handed over to the cavalry division and the 28th division, Wu Junsheng led the cavalry, from Taonan to the north and south, straight to the provincial capital Qiqihar, and Ji Jinchun led the 28th division to the north together, using the Middle East Road, quickly from the direction of Hulan, to Heilongjiang. ”

Lao Zhang threw out the strength of two divisions at once, which shows how much he attaches importance to the situation in Heilongjiang, and the Feng army was immediately actively mobilized, Zhang Tinglan calculated in his heart, there were two divisions involved, and if he wanted to take Xu Lanzhou, there was absolutely no problem, there was no doubt that the Feng army could expand a province.

It's just that this opportunity fell to Wu Junsheng and Ji Jinchun, Zhang Tinglan was still a little unwilling, he actually hoped that his father Zhang Zuoxiang would be able to lead the troops to make meritorious contributions, and then smoothly take charge of a province, in this way, he would have the opportunity to show his strengths, but it backfired.

In the original history, it was also Wu Junsheng who was in charge of Heilongjiang, and now it seems that history is going to repeat itself. However, Zhang Tinglan has no choice, he also knows that Lao Zhang has to balance the generals under him, and it is impossible to revolve around him, and Zhang Tinglan can only continue to wait for the opportunity.

Others are busy with the affairs of the expedition, Zhang Tinglan is dedicated to being a teaching assistant, he is still the head of the first phase of the lecture martial arts, and he is also the assistant teacher of the engineering department, but obviously he is not too qualified as a teaching assistant, and he often has to run around, and he can't put all his energy into the lecture hall.

However, these students still admire Zhang Tinglan very much, many of them are older than Zhang Tinglan, but they also sincerely admit his status as the prefect, after all, what people do is what they dare not think about now, and they really can't do it in this life.

Of course, there are also people who are not convinced of Zhang Tinglan's ability, and the most questioned is the military quality, this person has the name of assistant teacher, but he has never seen him teach any courses, and he is inevitably a little suspicious of Zhang Tinglan's level.

Coincidentally, this class was Xiqia teaching engineer tactics, Zhang Tinglan also listened with all the students, although Xiqia studied cavalry in the non-commissioned officer, but also took other courses, and now it is not enough to teach martial arts teacher Liliang, so Xiqia is also responsible for explaining the content of the engineer section.

He explained how to build individual bunkers, how to dig trenches and anti-artillery holes, and how to use these fortifications to protect oneself and destroy the enemy.

When he arrived at Zuihou, Xiqia said: "Students, the key to winning the war is not how many bunkers are built, nor how powerful firepower they have, but to have a tenacious will to fight. They used the tactics of meat bullets to defeat the powerful Tsarist Russia, and if we want our army to have strong combat effectiveness, we should take Japan as a teacher. I have also suggested several times to the marshal that you should hire some professional Japanese instructors who can give you more things. ”

After Xiqia finished speaking, his eyes swept Zhang Tinglan, and then said: "Although some people are prejudiced against Japan, it is undeniable that Japan is a powerful country, and the Japanese army is an example worth learning. ”

"Deputy Chief of Education, it is true that Japan is more advanced and stronger than China, but not all of them need to be studied, and the Japanese also have a lot of mistakes."

Of course, Zhang Tinglan knew that Xiqia's words were for himself, and he was not a generous person, and he didn't want these students to blindly worship Japan, you must know that the biggest imaginary enemy of the Feng army is Japan, and if you can't treat your enemy as an equal, how can you find the weakness of the other party.

Zhang Tinglan continued to smile and said: "On the battlefield, the competition is not how much you do right, but how much you do wrong, as long as you make fewer mistakes than the other party, you can win, the Japanese can win the Russo-Japanese War, not because they are strong, how advanced, but because Russia is too outdated." ”

During Xiqia's lecture in the martial arts hall, he was more or less admiring Japan, and Zhang Tinglan's words seemed very novel, everyone was interested, and everyone also wanted to see what the real level of this teaching assistant was, so they all focused on it.

"Students, let's take the meat bullet charge as an example, this is completely joking with the lives of soldiers, and after the army is equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, it has been seriously outdated, the Japanese should be glad that they encountered Tsarist Russia, which is at the bottom of the industrial level of the great powers, and if they encounter Britain and France, their meat and eggs will be broken to pieces by machine guns."

"Students, you should also note that military jishu is a discipline that keeps pace with the times, and now a tragic war is taking place in Europe that has never been seen in human history, and on the battlefield, a lot of new weapons and new tactics have emerged, which has actually heralded the arrival of a military change."
