Licheng. An elite squad of soldiers was stationed. The soldiers of the Northeast Army in the city defense did not dare to stop in the slightest. The leader is a calm young man in his twenties. The two-bar four-star epaulettes on the young man's shoulders made the soldiers who saw them look sideways. You must know that the current Northeast Security Army is no longer comparable to that of the past. There are many officers in the Northeast Army, but there are really not many generals. Those who can reach the rank of brigadier general are at least at the level of brigade commander in the army.

The Northeast Security Army has always adhered to a large establishment, and the size of each brigade is equivalent to a division in Beiyang, which also makes the value of the Northeast Brigade Commander much higher than that of other forces.

"Report sir! Jiang Qi, commander of the second battalion of the third regiment of the seventeenth brigade of the southwest military region, reports to you. A young officer wearing a major's uniform ran out and said respectfully to the brigadier general youth who was the leader.

"Please take a break!" The young man said calmly.

"Sir, this is the seal of the city defense. Our department is ready to go! Return to the Great Army. The Major said respectfully. The working atmosphere of the Northeast government is relatively relaxed, after all, it is a political institution, and it is not good to be too strict. But in the army there is a high hierarchy. And with the increase of talents in the Northeast. The brutal elimination began. Feng Yong insisted on employing people by ability, and those who did not meet the ability could only stand aside. At this time, with the continuous war, many officers in the front-line army have received orders because of ability problems. For the first batch of officers who followed his birth and death and contributed to the development of the Northeast, Feng Yong never thought of abandoning them. Although they may not be a qualified military commander, their loyalty to Feng Yong is unquestionable. So these officers were all transferred to the SS army formed by Feng Yong's own hands. Become his Feng Yong's personal soldier. This led to a rapid increase in the size of the SS. The SS was different from the field armies in the Northeast, and what the SS needed was absolute loyalty to the leader. can carry out Feng Yong's orders without hesitation, and even die for Feng Yong when necessary. From this point, Feng Yong can be said to have borrowed the means of the German mustache in later generations. After all, the mustache achieved dictatorship in a democratic country by such means. It is even more troublesome to the world.

Feng Yong is a warlord, and as long as he does not die in his lifetime, he will not give up the power in his hands. But Feng Yong can't guarantee that his descendants will be as virtuous as himself. China's thousands of years of imperial system have taught Feng Yong that no matter how virtuous a monarch is, no matter how great an empire is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time. In the future, social development will still develop towards democracy. Feng Yong, who was reborn in this era, always felt that he was shouldering the mission of the rise of the Chinese nation. Therefore, Feng Yong will build an SS army outside the Northeast Field Army that is completely subordinate to himself. The SS did not belong to the state, but to him Feng Yong alone. This was specially prepared by Feng Yong in order to maintain his dictatorship.

"I've taken over, you can evacuate!" The young brigadier general saluted and said.

Led by the brigadier general, behind him stood three thousand soldiers who stood like a benchmark. Soon under the gaze of the brigadier general, a troop of more than 300 people came out of the city, and many soldiers were wrapped in bandages, and it seemed that their injuries had not yet healed.

"Salute!" The 3,000 soldiers outside the city, led by the brigadier general, saluted these heroes. Because of their bloody struggle, the Northeast was able to win a huge territory in such a short period of time. They are the heroes of the Northeast.

"Salute!" These more than 300 soldiers obviously did not expect to salute them, and tears flashed in their eyes, and then solemnly returned the salute under the leadership of the major battalion commander. Although there were only more than 300 people in this unit, the momentum on its body was extremely strong. This is the temperament of the elite of a hundred battles. Unbeatable temperament.

Seeing the small unit go away, the brigadier general had a satisfied look on his face, and the unit behind him was a carefully selected elite from the new barracks. It is used to supplement Feng Yong's guard regiment and is a supplementary force to the guard regiment. Later, Feng Yong formed the SS, and the guard regiment was no longer needed. The main forces of the Guards Regiment have joined the Southern Military District to strengthen the defense of the Southern Military District against the sea. The supplementary troops of the guard regiment went south to Shandong under the leadership of the young brigadier general.

"Enter the city!" The young man said in a deep voice.

The citizens of Jinan City looked at this army with a neat appearance, which was obviously different from the small army that had just left the city, and their faces showed a look of surprise. Those who have insight are definitely about to change.

Licheng, in the official residence of Daming Lake.

"Sir, this is the situation of the entire Shandong Province that the officials in Licheng are right, please take a look." Said the lieutenant staff officer.

The framework of the new government in Shandong has been constructed, and the county magistrates of each county have been dispatched. As for the two-chief system, it is only popular in small places in the northeast. To be fully popularized, the influence of the Independence Party is not enough.

The young brigadier general took the information and looked at it attentively.

"The situation in Shandong is more complicated than I imagined! The relationship between large and small counties is intertwined. The strength of the family is much stronger than that of the Northeast. It's more difficult to deal with than you think. Said the young brigadier general. He was Xu Zheng, who was appointed commander of the Shandong Military Region on the orders of Feng Yong. Although Xu Zheng has been by Feng Yong's side for a long time, he has no experience in commanding operations, and this time, Feng Yong not only gave him sufficient rights, but also gave him the status of a brigadier general. This is already a very high starting point. Because Xu Zheng is the person next to Feng Yong, they know each other well, otherwise it would be impossible for such an important position as the commander of the Shandong Military Region to fall on his head.

"Sir, what should we do now?" The combat staff officer asked.

"We are shouldering the heavy task of rectifying Shandong, and in this case, we must let the whole of Shandong settle down as soon as possible. Pass on my order, the first order of this commander in office, to collect civilian weapons and ammunition. Stored in the arsenal of the local county seat. Not available during non-combat hours! "The people in Shandong are fierce, coupled with this era of war and chaos, the people of Shandong will try their best to get weapons for self-defense, including advanced muskets, backward earth cannons and bird guns, and even with an astonishing number of large swords and spears. This has made the law and order in Shandong chaotic.

"Sir, this will definitely cause turmoil because of the backlash of civil forces!" The staff officer didn't expect Xu Zheng, who had always been calm, to make such a radical decision.

"Of course I know which local forces will rebel, I just want them to rebel, if they don't rebel, I have no reason to get rid of them! Shandong has an armed force of our Northeast Army, and the rest of the strength can only be disbanded or wiped out! Xu Zheng said in a deep voice.

The order issued by the headquarters of the Shandong Military Region made the local forces in Shandong who were inquiring about the news in Licheng dumbfounded. Seizure of guns? This is even more unacceptable than asking them to disband the organization. In these years, that force did not have a private army in its hands to protect itself. Naturally, the local forces disagreed, after all, the Northeast Army, which had just occupied Shandong, could not give them a sense of security. But they were also afraid of the strong combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, and for a while, the entire area around Licheng in Shandong fell silent. All forces are waiting on the sidelines, waiting for someone to come out on top.

Two days later.

"Sir, I just got the news. There is a large group of bandits in Changqing County besieging the county seat, and they have already broken through the county seat, and the officials we sent there have been wounded. Now the whole Changqing County is in chaos. ”

"It's finally here!" Xu Zheng didn't have the slightest look of shock on his face, but was a little surprised. He didn't come to Shandong to be a good gentleman. Now time is pressing, and without results, it will live up to the expectations of the young marshal.

"Order the troops! I have only one request, to participate in the rebels, not one to be left, to shoot them all! Xu Zheng's body trembled a little, he didn't know whether he was excited or nervous, he knew that with his order, Changqing County would be full of blood. It was not only the bandits who were killed, but also those who were connected to the bandits.

"Sir, what about the big families who have collusion with the bandits?" The staff officer asked.

"The main culprit is killed, and the family property is confiscated!" Xu Zheng wanted to sit in a row and kill the entire family of these people who colluded with the bandits. But in the end, no such order was given. After all, limited to the local situation, there must be many big families who have dealings with bandits, and if they continue to kill like this, the entire social system in Shandong may collapse.

The one who led the territorial bandits to attack Changqing County was a man named Lin Gui. Nicknamed Lin Datou, he was originally a land hooligan in Changqing County, and when the Republic of China was established, he entangled many gangsters in the county town to form a bandit group that robbed homes and houses. and took advantage of the turmoil in Shandong to recruit troops, and the power soon grew to hundreds. After all, Shandong's legal system is relatively sound, and it is also the heart and center of Beiyang, and naturally it is not comparable to the chaotic three eastern provinces, and most of the bandits in Shandong are local ruffians and hooligans who have taken advantage of the social turmoil in the past two years to develop, and the scale is not large. However, it is extremely harmful to public order.

Facing the fierce Northeast Army, Lin Gui fled directly into the mountains and forests. It's a pity that the Northeast Army is different from the security regiment in the Beiyang period. Lin Gui thought that there was nothing they could do if the Northeast Army fled into the mountains, and the security regiment that had always surrounded and suppressed the bandits would choose to give up after the bandits entered the mountains and forests, but the result made him extremely desperate. Although the unit brought by Xu Zheng is a supplementary unit of Feng Yong's guard regiment, those who can be selected into the guard regiment are definitely the elite of the troops. This unit was once trained as a guard of honor. He has also received training in various advanced tactics. Jungle warfare is no stranger to them at all.

Fierce gunfire rang out in the mountains and forests, but the surrounding woodcutters and hunters knew very well that the Northeast Army was rapidly approaching the bandits' lair.

Da-da-da-da!

The roar of crane guns sounded in the mountains and forests. It's just that it's quickly mute.

Boom!

Cannon fire was heard from the top of the mountain, followed by a monstrous fire.

"It's over! Lin Datou's bandit group is finished. I just don't know if he himself survived! The villagers near the mountain forest shook their heads and said. In the past few years, they have been persecuted by Lin Datou, and now that the Northeast Army is attacking strongly, they naturally rejoice.

The next day, a human head landscape was piled up at the gate of Changqing County. The face full of horror on the top is none other than Lin Datou, the bandit leader who has been roaming the Changqing region for several years. Next to it is the head of the patriarch of a large family who is almost in collusion with the bandits. At the same time, the Northeast Army transported truckloads of property from this county seat back to Licheng. The entire Shandong region was dumbfounded by the strong actions of the Northeast Army.

After the incident was over, the General Headquarters of the Shandong Military Region issued an order to disband the bandit gang within a time limit, otherwise it would incur a ruthless blow from the Northeast Army, and all families that had dealings with the bandits would be killed without mercy and their property confiscated.
