Who was the brightest person in the Northeast in 1916? It is not President Yuan Da who sits on the throne in Sijiu City, but Young Marshal Feng who keeps making big moves. This is not just the 27th Division of more than 30,000 people to the south, the northern border defense force is extremely empty, at this time the Hongxian Empire issued a holy decree, transferred to Jilin overseer Feng Yong as the Heilongjiang overseer, in charge of border defense.

At this time, everyone's eyes in the three eastern provinces were focused on Feng Yong. In charge of Heilongjiang, that is, the seventeen-year-old Feng Shaoshuai will become the first line of defense against the Russian invasion. This made all the forces in the three eastern provinces look at the Hongxian Empire. What does this stormy government, which has been established in the midst of the condemnation of the people of the whole country, want to do, and appoint such a young man to defend the border pass, is it intended to provoke a war between the Republic of China and the Russians?

In the face of the attention of all quarters, Young Marshal Feng immediately issued a telegram, expressing his willingness to accept the appointment of the Republic of China government, take over the post of Heilongjiang superintendent, and take over the defense of the Heilongjiang border.

After the announcement of this telegram, Feng Shaoshuai did not have the slightest intention of going north, and still visited the industrial achievements of the Jilin Provincial Government with great interest. And show up in front of everyone in real time. Speeches encouraging the common people to enter the factory. So far, it's working well.

Everyone couldn't understand what medicine was sold in Feng Shaoshuai's gourd. Even if he agreed to go north, but did not take the slightest action, did he regard President Yuan's order as child's play? Although no one recognizes President Yuan's position as emperor, it cannot deny his status as the first person in China.

When everyone was speculating about Feng Shaoshuai's intentions, Qiqihar, Heilongjiang, suddenly sent a telegram to the three eastern provinces. It was announced that the Flying Bear Army would accept the reorganization of Feng Yong, the overseer of Heilongjiang, and it would become the independent fifth brigade of the Public Security Corps. Cao Zheng was the brigade commander, and Li Fei was the brigade political commissar.

As soon as this telegram was issued, all forces were stunned, and they all had a feeling of extreme unreality. Guo Jianglong actually accepted Feng Yong's adaptation. This Feng Yong really has such a big self. Among them, the most surprising are the brigades and regiments of the Public Security Corps. The only people who knew about the situation in Heilongjiang were Feng Yong's staff headquarters, the brigade commander Liu Hei of the Third Brigade, and Liu Shan, the political commissar of the brigade. Even the commander of the Guard Brigade going south, Zhen Zhen, didn't know. When Heilongjiang's report came, Zhen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally knew the situation of his partner, and at the same time was impressed by the young marshal's methods. quietly recovered the entire Heilongjiang River, this ability can be called terrifying.

The busiest is the Jilin Provincial Government, although Feng Yong took office as the overseer of Heilongjiang, but his title of Jilin Overseer has not been explicitly taken, and he himself will not give up Jilin Province. So he himself is still sitting in Jilin Province. The officials sent by the government to Heilongjiang had been prepared as early as when the Northern War was victorious, and then Feng Yong suddenly stopped, but the group of officials sent was not disbanded, and it was just a quick departure at this time, after all, Feng Yong did not know what the specific situation in Heilongjiang was. These officials need to sort it out.

At the same time, the 3rd Brigade stationed at the border between Jilin Province and Heilongjiang set out in full gear and entered the Heilongjiang region under the banner of border defense. Directly according to Feng Yong's request, he took over the defense line vacated by the 27th Division and attacked the Russian horse bandits who crossed the Heilongjiang River.

This series of actions is simply as fast as a flint. The forces of all parties have not yet reacted to what is going on, and the entire Heilongjiang Province has been swallowed by Feng Yong. The originally deficient defense line was replenished by the security corps. I originally wanted to see a lively scene, and when I saw Feng Shaoshuai show his wrist, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Ming Xiu plank road darkness Chen Cang! Who said that the young Feng Shaoshuai is easy to bully?

It's March 18 now, and according to the original history, President Yuan's Hongxian Empire has no days to live. As soon as the Hongxian Empire collapsed, although Yuan Shikai quelled the domestic turmoil, he himself suffered a huge blow to his prestige in the Beiyang Army and in the country. During his reign as emperor, in order to consolidate his emperor's throne, he made a vow, so that the power of the princes around the country expanded rapidly, controlled a large amount of real power, and has formed a trend of not falling, if President Yuan Da lives for a longer period of time, he may be able to suppress the princes around the country and lead the government of the Republic of China to another better direction. But according to Feng Yong's memory, President Yuan doesn't seem to have a few months to live.

As for President Yuan's life, he is a small young marshal in the three eastern provinces, and he has no ability to interfere at all. The only thing he can do is to develop his strength as much as possible and keep the water and soil safe in the troubled times in the future.

Under Cao Zheng's almost brutal policy of slaughter, the power of the river dragon was basically uprooted. The more than 30,000 people of the Flying Bear Army are also in the hands of the Fifth Brigade. Then a large number of soldiers from the teaching team entered the Flying Bear Army as instructors at the grassroots level, making Cao Zheng more comfortable with the control of the Fifth Brigade. The current Fifth Brigade is second only to the Third Brigade in terms of numbers alone. After all, the Third Brigade annexed the Dragon Guard Army, which had more than 10,000 people. Its own strength reached 35,000 people. The other brigades were between 15,000 and 25,000 men. Among them, the guard brigade has the smallest number of people, after all, the unit has been formed for the shortest time, and the unit is drawn from various brigades, which is not a whole in itself, and rashly expanding its scale will affect its combat effectiveness.

Compared with the shortage of the ruling class in Jilin Province, Heilongjiang is even more harsh, with a combined population of less than 3 million, most of which are scattered in the southwestern plains. What the provincial government officials are now trying to do is to restore social order in Heilongjiang Province. And the Fifth Brigade, which has caused a bloody storm in the local area, is not suitable to stay there.

Faced with the uneven strength of the brigades, Feng Yong was ready to make a comprehensive adjustment to lay the foundation for the next step of army expansion. At the same time, a large number of die-hard prisoners were sent to the western part of Heilongjiang, first, to replenish the labor force, and second, to develop land and establish military farms. After all, a large part of the food and vegetable sources of the security corps depend on these military farms. As for the government's tax collection of the people, there has not been much progress so far, and the population of Kyrgyzstan and Heiji provinces is still too small. At present, the whole of Jilin Province is still in a period of recovery and development, and the provincial government's tax revenue is set very low, and if it were not for the large number of military farms on the Northeast Plain, I am afraid that the provincial government's weak financial resources would not have been able to support an army of more than 100,000 at all. This is also the reason why all weapons are basically captured, and with the development of the security corps and the provincial government, the army's standard weapons will also be put on the agenda. At that time, the provincial government will need to come up with a large amount of money.

After swallowing Heilongjiang, the policy of the Public Security Corps will be adjusted. And the name of the public security corps is also a little unsuitable for Feng Yong's development, after all, Feng Yong is the official overseer of the Republic of China, although he has no military rank, but according to convention, at least he is also a lieutenant general! And the security corps doesn't sound like the name of the regular army. So some reforms are imperative.

The domestic army in this period was not like the army of later generations, and it was necessary to hold daily meetings to sort out the relations between all parties to carry out reforms. In the final analysis, the Public Security Corps is his warlord army of Major Marshal Feng, and he alone has the final say in the entire Public Security Corps. Others, including Li Jun, chief of staff of the Public Security Corps, also only have the power to make suggestions and not make decisions. The potential for the development of troops in such a system depends entirely on the competence of the commanders. Although Feng Yong doesn't think that he is very capable, but with the advantage of a traverser, few people in the world can see the general trend more clearly than him, so Feng Yong will never reform this kind of system of monopoly of power. Feng Shaoshuai is now full of confidence to do a big job, of course, he can't tolerate others encroaching on his rights.

"The Jilin Public Security Corps was renamed the Northeast Public Security Corps!" This was also decided by Feng Yong after careful consideration. After all, a name that is too domineering will show his ambitions, and at present, Young Marshal Feng doesn't need such a big name to fight for face, and making a lot of money is the king.

"Order the Fifth Brigade to move westward and occupy Zhalantun in Mongolia. The Northwest Military Region was established, with Cao Zheng as the commander of the military region and Li Fei as the political commissar. The two remained both brigade commander and brigade commissar of the 5th Brigade. Then the local armed forces were gathered, war horses were raised, and cavalry units were formed. ”

"Order the Heilongjiang Provincial Government to move its headquarters from Qiqihar to Harbin." If the Jilin Provincial Government's railway is built to Harbin, Harbin's development speed will definitely surpass that of Qiqihar by virtue of its transportation conditions. It is almost inevitable that Harbin will become the economic center of Heilongjiang Province. Taking advantage of the fact that the Heilongjiang provincial government has not yet been established, it is much better to form a provincial government in Harbin than to develop and relocate it later.

The territory of the 28th Division was stationed along the Heilongjiang River, while the 3rd Brigade of the Public Security Corps took over the banks of the Ussuri River, where the 27th Division was originally stationed. According to Feng Yong's order, the 3rd Brigade went forward to a place less than ten miles away from the border line, and the brigade headquarters was set up in Hulin.

"Order, with the Third Brigade as the core, the Northeast Military Region was established, with Liu Hei as the commander of the Military Region and Liu Shan as the political commissar of the Military Region. The two concurrently served as the commander and political commissar of the 3rd Brigade. Expansion of the army is permitted, but officer appointments are required to report to headquarters. ”

"The Fourth Brigade went south into the Horqin region of Mongolia and established the Southwest Military Region, with Guo Shanhu as the commander of the military region, Qian Ding as the political commissar of the military region, and the two of them concurrently served as the brigade commander and political commissar of the Fourth Brigade. Recruitment of cavalry units of the South-Western Military District. ”

"The Guard Brigade was renamed the Sixth Independent Brigade, and the headquarters was stationed in Siping. The Southern Military Region with the Sixth Independent Brigade as the core was established, with Zhen Zhen as the commander of the Southern Military Region and concurrently serving as the political commissar of the Military Region, and Qian Zhuangfei as the deputy political commissar of the Southern Military Region, presiding over the work of the political commissar. Troops have the right to recruit autonomously, and officer appointments need to be reported to headquarters. ”

"With the Second Brigade as the core, the Southeast Military Region was established. Commander of the Military Region Lin Hu and Political Commissar Yan Lei. The troops have the right to recruit autonomously and can recruit soldiers in the southeastern counties, and the appointment of officers must be reported to the headquarters. ”

"The headquarters formed the 7th and 8th Brigades, with a full strength of 10,000 people. Military officers are drawn from the brigades, political officers are drawn from the teaching team of the General Headquarters, and personnel are recruited from Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces. ”

Now Feng Yong has no shortage of people in his hands, there are still more than 10,000 people waiting to be dealt with by the Long Wei Army captured last time, and there are also two regiments of recruits in Feng Yong's recruit training base who have completed their training and can be replenished into the army at any time. There are also more than 3,000 people at the Changling County Recruit Training Base who have completed their recruit training and are waiting for distribution. Since the 1st Brigade moved westward, the Changling County Recruit Training Base has been placed under the management of the General Headquarters. After all, the training of recruits is related to the combat effectiveness of the public security corps.

At this time, Feng Yong had more than 20,000 people in his hands. Feng Yong mixed these 20,000 people, formed six regiments, and established the seventh and eighth brigades. The commander of the Seventh Brigade is Qian Yansheng, and the political commissar is Zhou Bo. The commander of the Eighth Brigade Zhang Youde, and the political commissar Zhao Yu.

Everyone was not surprised that Qian Yansheng and Zhou Bo could take the position, after all, the two of them were old men who followed Feng Yong, and Qian Yansheng was Feng Yong's favorite general, and it was only a matter of time before they were promoted. As for Zhang Youde, the commander of the Eighth Brigade, the old men of the public security corps all know him, the captain of the young marshal's personal guard, although he is a little old, but everyone is not dissatisfied with the brigade commander, Bijing Zhang Youde is Feng Yong's absolute confidant. But who Zhao Yu is, everyone is not clear. Later, everyone inquired and learned that Zhao Yu once served as the deputy captain of the teaching team and assisted Feng Yong in handling the affairs of the teaching team. Everyone couldn't help but think of Liu Shan, the commander of the Third Brigade, as if he was also the deputy captain of the teaching team.
