Although Wang Yongjiang has only skipped people, he is actually a very simple person, Lao Zhang reuses him, he is in line with the belief that a soldier dies for his confidant, and he does things wholeheartedly, and he doesn't care about difficulties at all.

He pointed out that the rectification of the rule of officials and the clearing of acres of land are things that offend people, and that most of the officials in Fengtian are still characters left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who are insatiable and have extremely poor ability to do things, and must be rectified. However, these officials are not alone, they have an intricate relationship, and they affect the whole body, and the rectification of the rule of officials is undoubtedly an attack on the entire old-fashioned officialdom.

China is an agricultural society with thousands of years of tradition, and the landlord class is the backbone of this society.

Therefore, all dynasties and dynasties have taken measures to clear the acres of land, whether they succeed or not, in short, they will be desperately counterattacked by the landlord group, after all, cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing parents, Wang Yongjiang put forward this suggestion, there is no doubt that he is standing on the opposite side of the entire landlord group.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan also knows that it is necessary to do things to clear the acres of land, not only to increase taxes, but more importantly, to pay taxes according to the acres of land, which can ensure a kind of fairness and alleviate social contradictions, which is particularly important, the three eastern provinces are already chaotic enough, all kinds of contradictions are intertwined, if there is a quarrel between the landlords and the peasants, it will be completely out of control.

Therefore, although the resistance is huge, Zhang Tinglan is still very supportive, and he also believes that Wang Yongjiang has the ability to solve this problem.

"The rule of officials is not clear, the place is unstable, and the rectification of the rule of officials is the most important work in the future, and all officials must be inspected, and the small officials at the bottom are also within the scope of inspection. If there is serious corruption and dereliction of duty, all the others must also be evaluated, and only after passing can they continue to be officials and have the opportunity to be promoted first. ”

Since the establishment of the imperial examination system, China has begun to select officials by examination, which is far ahead of Western countries. However, there is also a fatal problem, that is, only officials have to pass the examination, and the small officials who really have contact with the people at the bottom and deal with specific affairs have not passed the examination. On the contrary, they are considered untouchables.

Therefore, these small officials are often the main force that oppresses the common people and bends the law for bribes. Wang Yongjiang directly regarded the officials as one this time. The adoption of a unified evaluation mechanism is also a big innovation.

If it can be fully implemented. The rule of the officials in Mukden will certainly make a great difference. These people present are all military leaders, and they don't care about the rectification of officials, but they also heard Zhang Zuolin's military spirit of reform.

"In this official evaluation, the effectiveness of clearing acres of land is one of the most important criteria, and now it happens that all the grain has been harvested. The common people are starting to cat winter. At this time, if the land is sorted out, the land tax will be raised a lot next year, and the financial pressure on Mukden will be greatly eased. ”

"As for the issue of cracking down on bandits, it is a matter of local law and order. Nothing can be done without good policing, so this must also be taken seriously. ”

After Wang Yongjiang finished speaking, Zhang Zuolin took over the words: "We are all from the green forest, and we are no strangers to bandits. Some people are forced by the government to rebel against the people, and some people have no way to live, as long as such bandits can change their evil ways and return to righteousness, they will be given a way to live, and they should not all be killed. There is only one thing that must not be let go, that is, those Mongolian bandits who attack the border, these guys do all kinds of evil, they can be killed but not kept! ”

Over the years, Zhang Zuolin has not only exterminated bandits like Du Lisan, but also eliminated bandits like Tao Ketaohu.

In fact, most of these Mongolian bandits were supported by Tsarist Russia, acting as thugs of Tsarist Russia, assisting the Russians in splitting Outer Mongolia.

Lao Zhang explained the matter almost, everyone dispersed with their own thoughts, smart people have noticed the difference between this time and the past, Zhang Zuolin is no longer a division commander, he is a prince of one side, and the issues considered are more comprehensive, this group of old brothers who can only fight and kill The older they are, the fewer opportunities to speak, and Wang Yongjiang, a talent for governing the country, has more and more opportunities to show, and Zhang Zuolin is more valued.

"Military generals fight the world, civil officials rule the world, this has been the truth since ancient times, but it is really uncomfortable to give up the world that you have beaten to others!"

"Dad, do you remember the layout on the stage, the upper door says the general, and the lower door says the phase. You are also called Xiang, whether it is to fight the world or rule the world, it is inseparable from your old age! ”

"Stinky boy, dare to joke with your father's name, look for a fight!" Zhang Zuoxiang grabbed the cigarette pouch as he spoke, and knocked it on Zhang Tinglan's head.

"Tinglan, Yuting zuihou specifically talked about the suppression of bandits, I estimate that there will be action during this time. Every autumn and winter, the common people take back the grain, and the family also has a store of grain, and the gang of bandits is about to grab the grain for the winter, and they will go out frequently. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zuoxiang asked again: "Tinglan, do you have confidence in the recruits under you?" If you can, you might as well practice with these bandits, after all, soldiers are real warriors only if they have seen blood, otherwise they are all new soldiers! ”

"Dad, I have already had this idea, training with a bare head may not produce a strong army, and actual combat is the most whetstone."

"If you have an idea, you have to be prepared, you don't want the bandits not to be eliminated, but they have been calculated by others."

"Dad, can I go with my eldest brother?" Zhang Tingshu has always been a militant, usually Zhang Tinglan trains recruits, he only needs to follow the training as soon as he gets out of school, although he is young, but he can also keep up with the rhythm, almost will not fall behind, which shows his hard work.

"What kind of fun are the children, you study hard first, and the martial arts hall will start in the next year, you go in to study for a few years, and then think about going to the battlefield!"

"Dad, I'm not a child anymore, and my marksmanship is better than my eldest brother!"

When it comes to marksmanship, Zhang Tinglan's face is also slightly red, he is indeed not as good as his second brother, and even Zhang Xueliang is not as good as him, he can only be regarded as medium in the new army, Zhang Tinglan is actually reflecting. If you don't cross this sharp weapon, you will be a middle-aged person, and you will just be mediocre all your life.

Zhang Zuoxiang looked at Zhang Tingshu's eager appearance, thought for a while and nodded: "Tingshu, you can go, but you have to follow your eldest brother every step of the way!" ”

"Dad, don't worry, I will protect my eldest brother well!"

Before Zhang Tingshu finished speaking, there was a sudden slap on the top of his head: "Big brother, why are you beating me?" ”

"Listen, Daddy promises you. You haven't passed this level yet, if I'm not happy, just shake your head, you can honestly read the book at home! ”

Zhang Zuoxiang's judgment was not wrong at all, less than five days had passed. News came from the area of Taonan and found a large number of Mongolian bandits. The leader is Babu Zab.

This Babu Zab is also a stubborn bandit. As early as the Russo-Japanese War, Babu Zab took refuge with the Japanese and served as a transport team for the Japanese. After the Xinhai Revolution, Babu Zabu went to Outer Mongolia and colluded with the Russians and Outer Mongolian nobles in a vain attempt to achieve Mongolian independence.

For some time after that. Babu Zabu led his subordinates to loot everywhere, and not long ago, Beiyang finally made up his mind. To exterminate this bandit, Xiao Liangchen, the commander of Duolun, led his troops to defeat the main force of Babu Zabu, and this guy was lucky not to die, and fled to Taonan and Hailar.

After Zhang Tinglan got the news, he was immediately eager to try, if he sharpened his knife with ordinary bandits, Zhang Tinglan still looked down on it, and he could fight against the famous bandits, which just showed his ability. At this time, Lao Zhang asked people to come to Zhang Tinglan, and Zhang Tinglan suddenly went to see Zhang Zuolin in a hurry.

"Tinglan, the bandits are on the side, are you interested in going over and exterminating them?"

"Report to the commander, it is incumbent on me to do my duty!"

After Zhang Zuolin got the report, he called Zhang Tinglan over and prepared to arrange for him to go to Taonan to suppress bandits.

"Speaking of which, your men are all new soldiers, and I really don't feel at ease if you want to deal with a bandit like Babu Zab. However, Wu Da Tongue is in charge of guarding the town on Taonan's side, and the cavalry under him is still very powerful, and a few Mongolian bandits can't get any bargains. I asked you not to fight in the past, but to comfort Wu Junsheng for me, and send him some New Year's goods by the way, and contact him! ”

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he realized that Lao Zhang just wanted to be a messenger, not really fighting, and he was a little lost.

"Tinglan, don't take it seriously, the entire Fengtian, except for me and Feng Delin, is the strongest of Wu Da's tongue, even if you can't pull him over, you can't let others take advantage of it, so you should pay attention to the balance this time."

"Seventh Master, do you mean to show both cordiality and strength?"

"That's right, don't look at Wu Junsheng's rudeness on the surface, but in fact he is extremely cunning, you have to show him our strong military and financial strength, I believe he will make the right choice." In addition, let Xiao Liuzi also go with you, it is just right for the two of you to be nephews to see the uncle. ”

Haode's anti-bandit action has turned into visiting relatives and friends, plus showing off with force, although Zhang Tinglan is a little reluctant, but he also knows the importance of this matter. Wu Junsheng's status in the Fengtian department is second only to Zhang Zuolin, and if he can be brought over, it will be of great significance for Zhang Zuolin to control the overall situation of Fengtian.

Zhang Tinglan accepted the task, he selected a thousand soldiers from the second regiment, took the necessary supplies, as well as gifts for Wu Junsheng, and left Mukden in a mighty way, and went straight to Taonan, Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Tingshu also went with him.

They first took the train to Liaoyuan, which could have gone straight to Taonan, but Zhang Tinglan suddenly wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to train soldiers.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan ordered everyone to get off the train, and the rest of the march was leaning on two legs, in full accordance with the requirements of the battle, the soldiers should be ready for battle, send sentries from afar, carefully investigate, and not let go of any details.

When he walked to the open area, Zhang Tinglan also asked to simulate the enemy attack and train the soldiers' adaptability, and walked for two days in a row, although they did not encounter bandits, but they eliminated a few wolves, which can be regarded as opening meat, and the soldiers gradually have a little feeling.

In the northern winter, it gets dark early, and at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers who have been walking for a day skillfully set up tents, prepare food, and rest. It is only two days away from Taonan, and Zhang Tinglan's mind is constantly thinking about how to win over Wu Junsheng.

Just as he was about to fall asleep in a daze, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent.

"Report to the regiment commander, there is a group of cavalry rushing towards this side quickly, the number is close to a thousand!"

Zhang Tinglan's brows suddenly furrowed, the third watch was probably not a good thing in the middle of the night.

"Pass my order, order all the soldiers to get up at once, pull out all the machine guns and artillery, and get ready for battle!"

After Zhang Tinglan's order was transmitted, it soon showed the results of this period of rigorous training, although these soldiers encountered this situation for the first time, but they were still quickly prepared, at this time the sound of rapid horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, and a group of cavalry dressed in bells and whistles was rushing towards this side.
