Speaking of Yuan Shikai, he was unlucky enough, he originally had high hopes for Zhang Zuolin, hoping that Lao Zhang could lead his subordinates into the customs, but he didn't expect Zhang Zuolin to come, but instead looked forward to a rebellion, and the chaos in southern Liaoning was like a heavy punch to Lao Yuan, smashed in his heart.

If Feng Tianzhen fell into the hands of the Japanese, the land outside the border would be finished, and Beijing would suddenly become a border, and the situation would be similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, but Japan's opponent was much more ferocious and powerful than the Manchus.

Lao Yuan was frightened, but fortunately, Zhang Zuolin's hands and feet were fast enough, and the soldiers were quick enough to completely extinguish the rebels. Lao Yuan put down his hanging heart, but he still couldn't bear this kind of pressure, he was in trouble at home and abroad, the north and the south were restless, and the emperor's dream couldn't go on.

can only find Duan Qirui over, let Lao Duan come forward, clean up the situation for him, Duan Qirui saw Lao Yuan's aging appearance, and was also surprised, in a few months, Yuan Shikai seemed to be old for 20 years, recalling the friendship of the small station training back then, Duan Qirui also had red circles under his eyes.

"Zhiquan, I have mistakenly believed slander and taken a wrong step to reach this field. Now I'm sober, I'm not the emperor, and I continue to be the president, don't you think? ”

Looking at Lao Yuan's desolate and pleading gaze, Duan Qirui's heart was also sour, but he didn't dare to take it all over, he just said: "Don't worry, the president, I will do my best to maneuver!" ”

Zhang Tinglan heard the news of Lao Yuan, and also knew that Yuan Shikai, a hero, was about to come to a complete end after having an eighty-three days of Xinhua Spring Dream, and China had completely entered the era of Spring and Autumn melee. Now my father Zhang Zuoxiang is the envoy of the Eastern Dao Town, holding a small half of Fengtian, and he can be regarded as a small prince.

However, the two of them did not dare to relax at all, on the contrary, the burden on their shoulders was still very heavy. Dongbian Road has just experienced a rebellion, and there are scattered rebels everywhere, and many bandits have also taken the opportunity to jump out to make trouble, and the two of them are a little overwhelmed.

"Dad, I think that in the future, Dongbian Road will do two key defenses, one is aimed at Lushun and Dalian, and the other is aimed at the Yalu River. Over the years, many North Koreans have crossed the Yalu River and gone to the three eastern provinces to open up wasteland and farm, and even spread their branches. The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and we can't help but guard against it! ”

Unlike the rivers in the south, the Yalu River has a freezing period every year, and the ice surface is several meters thick, not only for people, but also for vehicles. The border people of both sides often come and go. The three eastern provinces are considered to be the few black soil suitable for agriculture on Shijie, plus the blockade policy of Manchu wicker cuttings. This makes it a virgin land in Zuihou, China.

As a result, the Han people did not come. The sticks took advantage of the weakness to enter, and wantonly opened up the wasteland in the three eastern provinces, even to the point that there were a lot of sticks in Fengtian, although Zhang Tinglan drove out the sticks in Fengtian, but there were still many sticks in the areas near the border, and they even formed a village.

Every winter. There are also sticks that have come to Mukden one after another on the ice, and Zhang Tinglan has no good opinion of these nasty guys. Mukden had to build a tight blockade along the Yalu River, not just to keep the sticks out. At the same time, it is also necessary to guard against Japanese spies sneaking in, so as not to treat the Northeast as their territory in the future.

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded slightly: "Indeed, after this incident, the wolf ambitions of the Japanese have been revealed, and we should strengthen our defense, but it is not easy to fortify along the Yalu River, I am afraid it is not easy, it is all mountainous, sparsely populated, and there are wolves, insects, tigers and leopards everywhere. ”

"Dad, in this rebellion, we have captured a total of seven or eight thousand prisoners, so let these guys atone for their sins and send them all over to be responsible for reclaiming land and building roads. Changbai Mountain has good wood, good medicinal materials, and all kinds of rare birds and beasts, which have great economic value. As long as we make a start, the common people will automatically pour in, and after we have villages and towns, it will be much easier for us to go to the garrison. ”

"Well, since you have an idea, let it go, and when you have the results, I will celebrate you, and if something goes wrong, I will spank your ass!"

Saying that, Zhang Zuoxiang also showed a happy smile, he has a capable son, he can also worry a lot less, Zhang Zuoxiang's desire for power is not big, he is very satisfied with his current identity, and the only hope is that his son can have achievements, so that he can shine on the lintel.

"Dad, in the final analysis, there is still a lack of people in the border areas, Fengtian will have to immigrate in large numbers in the next step, the black soil under our feet is the most fertile, there is no problem at all to raise twenty or thirty million people, as the saying goes, there are many people, we have enough manpower, and it will be easy to deal with the Japanese."

"Tinglan, of course, the Japanese have to be on guard, but they can't make it tense, after all, the strength of others is not comparable to us, sometimes we have to endure it, now we are not afraid to suffer a loss, as long as we can get it back in the future."

When the two were discussing things, Yang Yuting rushed back from Zhuanghe. Just after Nakamura Satoru suffered a stroke, Inuichiro Oshima withdrew to Lushun with his men, and the other two brigades of Japanese had just reached the halfway point and had to go back.

Yang Yuting saw that the Japanese brought a large number of carriages, he knew very well in his heart that most of them were arms, and Yang Yuting couldn't help but be a little coveted, if this can be in the hands of Feng Jun, it will be a huge improvement to the strength of Feng Jun, which is also a problem that has been infected with Zhang Tinglan for a long time, and he wants to get his hands on any good things when he sees them.

However, Yang Yuting is very sober-minded, these five or six hundred Japanese soldiers are not easy to deal with, and even if they can be solved, it will provoke greater retaliation from the Japanese, and the gains outweigh the losses at all, so they can only watch Oshima leave.

"Humble words, the marshal gave me an order, let me hurry back to Fengtian to make a mission, I don't know if you have anything else to explain?"

Yang Yuting is still the chief of staff of Fengjun, Lao Zhang's right-hand man, but he is not an official of the Eastern Side Road, and it is his duty to return to Fengtian. Zhang Tinglan really had something to report to Lao Zhang, so he pulled Yang Yuting to Zhang Zuoxiang's office, and after the two sides sat down, Zhang Zuoxiang took the lead in speaking.

"Lingge, this time the Eastern Side Road has pacified the rebels, but if you want to defend a good place, you still need a lot of troops, and you can't rely on just two regiments!"

What Zhang Zuoxiang said was the truth, because of Fang Wendong's rebellion, most of the army in Dongbian Province was involved, and this kind of force could not be used at all. Zhang Tinglan was ready to send them to the border area of the Yalu River to serve as hard labor, and to atone for their sins with labor.

The remaining grass swaying from side to side must also be cleaned up, since the beginning of the training of independent brigades, Zhang Zuoxiang's vision has become higher and higher, if you want a unit to have combat effectiveness, the source of troops is the foundation, and those old armies with serious habits and bad problems must not be used.

Now there are only two regiments of troops that can be used in Dongbian Province, which is definitely not enough. Yang Yuting is also very aware of this.

"Envoy, how do you think the troops should be adjusted?"

"Neighbor Ge, the commander doesn't have enough troops in his hands, so I thought I would pull the second brigade of the garrison division over first and train in Fengcheng. Let them also familiarize themselves with the geography, and in addition, they will be equipped with artillery and cavalry. In this way, it is almost the same to guard the eastern side of the road. ”

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "When I think about artillery, I will use all Japanese 41-style mountain artillery. This time, the number of captures we have captured is also enough, and we will directly pull out an artillery regiment. ”

"Humble words, how do I remember that only eighteen gates were captured, could it be that Fengcheng has gained something again?"

"The Japanese are still good to Fang Wendong, I found twelve in his hands, and six more in the arsenal. It was purchased by Ma Longtan before, and all of them added up, a total of thirty-six gates, exactly one battalion of twelve gates. It can equip three battalions and one regiment. ”

In the eastern Liaodong region and the Changbai Mountain area, the terrain is rugged, there are many mountains, and the artillery is still smart and light, so Zhang Tinglan did not use 18 artillery pieces in a battalion and only equipped with 12 artillery pieces like Beiyang.

"This Fang Wendong acted as a transporter for nothing, and it was all cheap for us." Yang Yuting asked again: "What should the cavalry do?" ”

"I pondered to take Ma Zhanshan one step higher and make him the commander of the cavalry, as a mobile liliang, guarding the safety of the place.

"Humble words, Ma Zhanshan is Wu Junsheng's favorite general, whether people can cut their love, I think you have to find a way."

"No problem, it's a big deal to let Uncle Wu make a price, I agree that I will be slaughtered and hemorrhage!"

Good haode one thing, made Zhang Tinglan say as if he was buying and selling people, Yang Yuting and Zhang Zuoxiang couldn't help but daxiao.

The garrison division was originally expanded from an independent brigade, and there was a big gap in the source of troops, and there were only two infantry brigades, this time the cavalry and artillery were supplemented, and then the engineering troops, communication troops and medical teams were enriched, and this division had a strength of more than 10,000 people, which could basically compete with the men and horses of several towns in the old Beiyang.

Although the artillery of the garrison division may be a little thin, the number of machine guns is quite large, which can ensure that each company has a heavy machine gun, and Zhang Tinglan has formed a machine gun company.

A fully staffed garrison division can definitely be compared with the 27th Division, which can be called the first-class elite Liliang of the Feng Army, holding this army, the strength of Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan, father and son, can almost compete with Zhang Zuolin, and is a well-deserved No. 2 person in the Feng Army.

Yang Yuting, as Lao Zhang's chief of staff, could not help but think about the problem from Lao Zhang's point of view, and he said to Zhang Tinglan: "Humble words, after I return to Fengtian, I will pay close attention to the regularization of the army, and we must reopen the lecture hall. ”

"Don't worry, not only me, but also the other officers of the garrison division have to re-study, as long as this side is stable, I will put on my schoolbag and go to school honestly, and not only study, I also suggest that the officers should be properly rotated, and any commander should have a strong ability to adapt, and he can't just guard his own one-third of an acre."

Zhang Tinglan's words are tantamount to making things clear, there is no need to worry about our strength increasing, we are still very loyal to the handsome, there is no problem. Yang Yuting is also very pleased, the Feng army is still in a period of rapid rise, the most important thing is infighting, only when everyone thinks in one place and works hard in one place, can the Feng army really prosper.

After Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan discussed properly, they set off to rush back to Fengtian, and after sending Yang Yuting away, Fengcheng ushered in a group of new guests, and Xiong Mengyuan came to Fengcheng with a large group of Russian technicians.

They were originally arranged to Tieling, but it was still along the South Manchurian Railway, and there were many Japanese spies. Moreover, Fengcheng has just experienced a big war, and there are a lot of ordnance that needs to be repaired, and the border defense task here is very heavy, so it is very helpful to arrange the ordnance repair factory here.

Of course, Lao Zhang also has his own abacus, and the ordnance factory is under Zhang Tinglan's nose, so he is not afraid that he will not work hard to find a way to solve the problem of the machine, whether it is to cheat and deceive, or to take advantage of it, as long as he can get enough machines, Lao Zhang will achieve his goal.

"Mr. Zhang, I saw that the newspapers were talking about you all the way, using soldiers like gods, and in the palm of your hand, the rebels were wiped out!"

"Old bear, the level of your beard is rising very quickly, don't look at this set of things, don't do practical things."

"Look at what you said, am I Xiong Mengyuan that kind of person, this time I'll let you see our results."

While speaking, Xiong Mengyuan took Zhang Tinglan to a special room, and there were two pistols with metallic texture in front of Zhang Tinglan, and Zhang Tinglan's eyes suddenly lit up. (To be continued......)
