After Zhang Xiluan handed over the power of public security, he suddenly became excited, and the old man who was too old had already reached the age of teasing his grandson, so why should he be angry in Fengtian here. The old man immediately sent a telegram of resignation to Yuan Shikai in Beijing, which was also the third time in a year that the old man had resigned, and Lao Yuan had to bother with the selection of the governor of Fengtian.

Zhang Xiluan was disheartened, but Zhang Zuolin was in high spirits, and he won such a temporary position as a public security assistant for Zhang Zuoxiang. But everyone understands that Lao Zhang is not fighting for Zhang Zuoxiang, and the ultimate executor of this power is still Zhang Tinglan.

During this time, Zhang Tinglan helped Lao Zhang to give advice, seeing that the strength of the 27th Division was getting bigger and bigger, how could Lao Zhang thank the heroes, so he let Zhang Zuoxiang be a name, and all the specific affairs were handed over to Zhang Tinglan to deal with, which could be regarded as his experience.

Which father is willing to see his son come out, Zhang Zuoxiang saw his son emerge in the twenty-seventh division, and he was very proud, they swore brothers, a total of eight people, and the second generation is now in his teens and twenties, counting these juniors, his son is the first to show amazing ability, how can Zhang Zuoxiang not be happy.

However, Zhang Zuoxiang is also a smart person, he can't just be happy in everything, as the saying goes, there is no hair on the mouth, and he can't do things well, so he has to mention his son.

"Tinglan, how are you going to rectify the security of Fengtian, and tell your father what you think."

"Dad, isn't this for you to take care of, I won't mix."

"Don't think about it, these troubles are all caused by your kid, you have to take care of it for me, or you will serve the family law!" As he spoke, Zhang Zuoxiang waved the big cigarette pouch in his palm.

Zhang Tinglan pondered for a moment and said: "Dad, in fact, I really want to take advantage of the opportunity to rectify public order and restore Fengtian City to a peaceful place, without a stable environment, business will not be able to develop, let alone economic construction." I summarized that there are five kinds of public security tumors in Fengtian, namely Xu officials, gangsters, ronins, sects and soldiers, if these five tumors are not eliminated, Fengtian will never have peace. ”

The so-called officials are those low-level officials, most of them are inherited from the former Qing Dynasty, these people don't know anything about democracy and republic, and they still do things like the Manchu Dynasty, each of them is a good hand at exploiting the people, and they are the vanguard of the scourge of the people.

Gangsters are better understood, this is also a continuation of the Qing Dynasty, the government and gangsters are two sides of the same coin, the government is weak, unable to effectively manage the locality, the gangster's shili will skyrocket, this is the case throughout the Republic of China, Shanghai's red gang tycoons can even fight against the government.

As for the Zongshe and the ronin, it is something unique to Mukden, coveted by the Japanese, and the old and young remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty tried in vain to split the country, and they frequently caused trouble, all of which brought a huge threat to the security of Mukden.

The most troublesome of these five tumors is the ruffian, to put it bluntly, these Qiu Eight Masters of the 27th Division, as we all know, Lao Zhang started by bandits, and the soldiers under him are also uneven, and the military salary given by Beiyang is not sufficient, so you can only do it yourself.

Therefore, the soldiers often wandered the streets, they extorted merchants, set up checkpoints, collected protection money, and even sold drugs, these things were contaminated by the subordinates of the 27th Division, so the reputation of the 27th Division was not good, but this was almost a common problem of soldiers in this era, and it was difficult to put an end to it.

The five points summarized by Zhang Tinglan all hit the nail on the head, and Zhang Zuoxiang knew very well that there was no mistake at all, but he knew that seeing clearly did not mean that he could solve it.

"Tinglan, what you said is not wrong, but some of these five tumors cannot be touched, do you know?"

"Dad, are you talking about soldiers?"

"That's right, it's a shame to say that when I first entered Mukden, I was very strict with my subordinates, and anyone who violated military discipline would be severely punished. But after a period of time, the troops did not have enough inputs, so I couldn't let these old brothers go hungry, so I just opened one eye and closed one eye. ”

Zhang Zuoxiang is indeed a kind-hearted person, and he is not afraid of being embarrassed by his son, so he brings this problem out.

"Relatively speaking, the discipline of my artillery regiment is still haode, Tang Yulin's 53rd Brigade is the most serious problem, and a large number of his soldiers are involved in opium trading, although it is despicable, but it is indeed very profitable, if we who lead the troops can not make the soldiers under us live better, who will listen to you!"

Zhang Tinglan knew very well that what his father said was from the bottom of his heart, in fact, the Feng Department began to rectify discipline on a large scale from the time Wang Yongjiang came to power, and at that time, because of Wang Yongjiang, Tang Yulin and Zhang Zuolin completely fell out, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Jinghui and others also advocated the removal of Wang Yongjiang, which was also one of the few conflicts between Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Zuolin.

The reason for this is that Wang Yongjiang rectified the law and order in Fengtian and rectified the ruffians who acted recklessly, which was undoubtedly cutting the flesh on these bandit leaders, so everyone was against it.

"Dad, I know what you mean, the main direction of this rectification is still on the ronin, the sect and the gangsters, and the ruffians are not something I can provoke. But I also want to say that the army is the army, there must be strict discipline, without discipline there is no combat effectiveness at all, the seventh master is also a person with great ambitions, he will rectify his subordinates sooner or later, this is also the trend of the times, if you want the 27th Division to become really strong, this is an inevitable step. ”

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded slightly, but there was also a hint of embarrassment on his face: "It's easier said than done, I really cut the flesh on myself, it's distressing!" Zhang Zuoxiang smiled bitterly: "Tinglan, will you look down on your father?" ”

"Dad, what do you always say, is there anyone in this world who is closer than father and son! After I rectified the law and order this time, I immediately set up the framework of the North Market with the Four Seas Grain Behavior Center, and I will leave enough to let all the people of the artillery regiment live a comfortable life, but with this income, it will be unforgivable if they do any more evil. ”

Zhang Zuoxiang's eyes lit up suddenly, his son is really a scheming person, and he can take this into account, Zhang Zuoxiang is completely relieved: "Tinglan, don't worry, these rabbit cubs are full of food and drink, if they dare to be dishonest, they will be looking for death, and I will not be polite." ”

Zhang Tinglan and his father communicated almost, and pulled out five hundred elite soldiers from the artillery regiment, and they were ready to show their strength, at this time the Jewish guy Fred came with good news, a batch of Russian arms was about to pass through Mukden, and he asked Zhang Tinglan to prepare.

Ammunition! Hearing these two words, Zhang Tinglan was very excited, at the moment restricting the development of the 27th Division is munitions, as long as this shortcoming is filled, the future of the Feng Army is bright.

Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang were also informed, and they were also overjoyed, Zhang Zuolin selected two hundred of the most reliable soldiers, and they quietly came to the Wenguantun Station, where Fred was already waiting.

"Zhang, this time there are a total of 800 water rifles and 200,000 bullets, you can stay!"

"Mr. Fred, you always bring us good news, and you bring us all the goods we have prepared." As he spoke, a large group of wagons appeared outside the station, loaded with shochu, Kanto sorghum liquor.

Fred also opened a jar of wine with great interest, a strong aroma pierced the nostrils, he took a sip gently, only to feel that it seemed to be on fire from his throat to his stomach, indescribably comfortable, this is definitely a first-class high-grade soju, Fred seemed to have seen these soju turned into a lot of money, he stretched out his thumb.

"Zhang, such haode wine will definitely make those drunkards crazy, no matter how much there is, they can be easily sold."

Fred was extremely satisfied with the wine, and Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang were staring at the water rifle that had been unloaded from the wagon, and there was a kind of fanaticism in their eyes.
