"The imperial court sent Zai Zhen and Xu Shichang to the northeast to investigate a few days ago, and it seems that there is a meaning of setting up a governor in the northeast to govern several provinces. Guo Songling said, "Xu Juren traveled thousands of miles in the Northeast, asked about everything, and wrote 100,000 words after going back, and he already knew how to govern the Northeast." ”

Zai Zhen is a waste, of course, the Manchu clan is not a waste now, and this guy will soon be impeached and seized for accepting bribes from Duan Zhigui to buy a courtesan, and don't care, Xu Shichang is a capable person.

Next year, he will come to the Northeast as the governor, eliminate corruption, absorb talents, and make the Northeast impressive; it can be said that Xu Shichang has made contributions in the process of modernization in the Northeast, and if he arrives, there are many things that can be done.

"The 100,000-word book covers all aspects, and we won't care about other places yet; There's a place where you can find an opportunity. Guo Songling introduced, "Now the bandits in Taonan and Tongliao are very serious, disturbing the frontier for several years, and then there is a faint support from Lao Maozi, after Xu Juren takes office, he will definitely find a way to eliminate the banditry." ”

"Zai Zhen is not angry, if there is a governor in the Northeast, it must be Xu Juren." Shen Long now understood that Guo Songling wanted him to lead his troops to clear out these bandits, so as to leave a good impression in front of Xu Shichang and be promoted and expand his troops.

This matter should logically be done by regular soldiers, but now what combat effectiveness do the Qing soldiers have, in history, this trouble was solved by Xu Shichang asked Zhang Zuolin to solve, and Zhang Zuolin was also reused, Shen Long previously set up an insurance team following Zhang Zuolin's model, but he didn't expect to deal with the old pimple so soon.

There are not enough people under him now, and Yuanbao Town is also some distance away from Taonan and Tongliao, so it is impossible for him to do such a major task alone, and the old pimple will definitely have to go when the time comes.

"Yes, according to what I heard, Xu Juren may want Zhang Yuting to do this, but I think about it, if Xu Juren sees that you have such a strong soldier under Chuanwen, he will definitely be tempted." Guo Songling continued.

"Wait until next year, Mao Chen, you and Chuanwu should also graduate, right?" Hey, this is a good opportunity to expand his strength, and it is also an opportunity to recruit Guo Songling, after seeing Shen Long's elite soldiers, what scum scum soldiers will Guo Songling be willing to bring?

"I'll start preparing now, if Xu Juren really comes to the northeast of the governor, he will definitely be mixed up in this matter, but there are not many people under me who can lead troops, and they can barely maintain around Yuanbao Town; When they arrived on the grassland, the troops were scattered, and there were few officers under him who could lead the troops! Shen Long looked at Guo Songling, "Mao Chen, would you like to help me?" ”

"It's much better to be able to fight, but not to stay in Mukden." According to the news that Guo Songling heard, he is likely to be assigned to the Shengjing General Yamen Guard after graduation, this position is undesirable for others, and he can take a picture in front of the general every day, and it will definitely be convenient to be promoted in the future, but Guo Songling wants to fight more.

"Then when I go back, I'll go with you, dredge the way in advance, and wait for Governor Xu to come, and then it's not appropriate to hold Buddha's feet temporarily." Shen Long was overjoyed when he heard this, and Guo Songling agreed to it.

Guo Songling stayed in Yuanbao Town for half a month, he and Zhu Chuanwu soaked in the barracks almost every day, either leading troops for training, or discussing the situation in the Northeast with Shen Long, Shen Long's clear analysis of the situation in the Northeast and even the entire East Asia made Guo Songling admire, but it was a little strange, he Zhu Chuanwen had never been to a foreign country or entered a foreign school, how could he be so familiar with these things?

Half a month later, Shen Long followed the two of them south to Fengtian and began to go around planning this matter, Shen Long did a good job in Yuanbao Town, and the faces of the people who helped before also had light, and it was more appropriate to do things this time, plus Shen Long's silver was enough, and his speech was good, and the people in the yamen almost patted their chests to guarantee.

After returning to Yuanbao Town for a year, it didn't take long for Xu Shichang to take office in the Northeast, not long after taking office, Xu Shichang began to plan to clear the giant bandits of Taonan and Tongliao, but the officers and soldiers in the Northeast are not useful, so he set his sights on the patrol battalion, and then under the recommendation of the people in the Yamen, Shen Long and Zhang Zuolin entered his field of vision at the same time.

Zhang Zuolin was originally in Liaoxi, familiar with the local situation, and had a lot of people, Xu Shichang had known this for a long time, and he originally intended to let Zhang Zuolin be in charge of this matter, but Zhu Chuanwen had never heard of the name, so he immediately arranged for someone to inquire, and the result of the inquiry made Xu Shichang overjoyed.

The exploits of the Yuanbao Town Patrol Battalion are piled up in a thick pile, and the results of the investigation of his subordinates going to Yuanbao Town in person also make Xu Shichang very satisfied, this Zhu Chuanwen can not only fight, but also restrain his soldiers from harassing the surrounding people, and it is even more rare that he can even run a school, in comparison, that old pimple is a little reckless.

Xu Shichang called Zhang Zuolin and Shen Long to Fengtian and talked about it respectively, Xu Shichang felt more and more that this Zhu Chuanwen was a great talent, he not only knew how to fight, but also talked to him about Confucian classics.

"Chuanwen, it's a pity that your troops are a little small, and if you want to sweep away these bandits, I'm afraid it won't work without three or five thousand people, so you have to cooperate with Yuting in this matter." Xu Shichang made a decision, "That's good, when the time comes, you will lead the troops from Yuanbao Town to block the north, and Zhang Yuting will march from the south, and the two of you will attack from both sides." ”

If these two groups of people are combined, it will be easy to cause conflicts, so it is better to let them fight separately, "Your side has fewer troops, or I will allocate some to you from other places?" What else is needed despite the opening. ”

"I heard that Sun Liechen from Taonan is familiar with the local terrain, and it would be great if he could help me." Shen Long took the opportunity to dig up the old pimple, and in the future, Sun Liechen will be the deputy commander of the Northeast Army, but now, he is just a sentry officer of the appeasement battalion, and he has not yet been put under Zhang Zuolin, as for Guo Songling and Zhu Chuanwu, it is even more of a sentence.

This is a trivial matter, Xu Shichang agreed without hesitation, and after a while, he called Sun Liechen to Fengtian under Shen Long's command, looking at Sun Liechen and Guo Songling, Shen Long's heart was happy, and now the two generals under the old pimple have been dug by me, and he will be quite difficult to become the king of the Northeast in the future.

After discussing the strategy of marching into the army, Shen Long returned to Yuanbao Town with Sun Liechen, Guo Songling, and Zhu Chuanwu, packed up his troops and horses and prepared to march west to suppress the bandits.
