On the path, a troop of cavalry was heading southeast along the potholed path. The green gauze tent on the side of the road can not be seen at a glance, this is the best shelter place in the black soil of the three eastern provinces, in the past, this is the Li Festival where the green forest ringing horses haunted, these green gauze tents that are more than one person high can provide good cover, so that the ringing horses can get rid of the chasing soldiers of the government.

However, there are not many bandits and ringing horses on the ground in the three eastern provinces now, although there are occasional rumors of a certain ringing horse team attacking a certain village. But under the republican government's strong anti-banditry action. More and more green forest characters choose to wash their hands in the golden basin, either turn to the right line, or simply enter the customs. went to Shanghai's ten-mile ocean field to break into the world, plus the center's rectification of local government affairs and grassroots organizations. The horse bandits in the Northeast have lost the soil for their survival. Today, on the black soil of the three eastern provinces, it is difficult to see a large number of horse bandits in the green forest.

In the past, the most serious area of banditry was northwest Liaoning. It is close to the demarcation line between Japan and Russia. It also borders the Mongolian region and belongs to the "three regardless" area, which used to be a famous horse bandit activity area, which is more chaotic than the Beizhen area in southwest Liaoning. But now, this area is basically peaceful, which is mainly due to the 16th Division of the Liaoning Provincial Army stationed in Shinan, and the division commander Zhang Zuoshuang.

Now, the cavalry unit that was running on this country road was subordinate to the 16th Division of the Liaoning Provincial Army. The officer who led the team was not an ordinary person, but Tang Yulin, the first general under Zhang Zuoshuang, nicknamed "Tang Erhu". "This person was born as a gambler, and in his early years, he led the team to Zhang Zuoshuang, and he was a good general of the 16th Division, and like Zhang Jinghui, he was Zhang Zuoshuang's right-hand man.

This time, Tang Yulin led the cavalry company to leave Tongnan, and Tang Yulin was ordered to greet several distinguished guests, who were all high-ranking officers of the National Defense Force, and in Zhang Zuoshuang's words, "do not slack off."

Now it is not compared to the past, since the local powerful figures in the southern provinces have bowed to the center. Zhang Zuoshuang, Wu Junsheng, Feng Delin, and Ma Longtan entered the customs successively, and went to Beijing to meet Zhao Bei, the president of the Republic of China. "It is the first step in the reorganization of the troops, and the units still maintain the old number, as the provincial army is stationed in various places to maintain law and order.

Since the military expenditures of the various units basically depend on the central allocation, it is impossible to do things on their own. It is worth mentioning that the troops of the three eastern provinces directly obey the orders of the commander-in-chief, not the 6th Army Department, which seems to be the president's balance of power, but the main reason is still an authority issue, for Duan Qirui, the commander-in-chief of the 6th Army. To be honest, Zhang Zuoshuang and Wu Junsheng really look down on them, in their opinion. Duan Qirui can't start with Beiyang, this is a big loss, not the appearance of a king, rather than obeying Duan Qirui's orders, it is better to obey the president's orders.

What's more, the president is the head of the country, and he is directly commanded by the president's commander-in-chief, so at least he looks much better. How, it can also hold down the Wehrmacht. Especially the wounded division of the National Defense Army commanded by Duan Qirui's brother-in-law Wu Guangxin, back then, Zhang Zuoshuang had a relationship with Wu Guangxin, neither of them was convinced of the other, they both sued each other for their black status, and each also took some of the other party's handles, but in line with the position that it is better to be motionless than quiet, the center did not favor one side or the other, and praised it reasonably, and criticized it reasonably. It also made the two groups of people in awe, and they didn't stumble on each other anymore, but this relationship can't be repaired no matter what, and it's still the well water that doesn't interfere with the river water, and they are secretly competing in their hearts.

Back then, Zhang Jinghui was driven out of Shanhaiguan like a monkey by Wu Guangxin, and he never got back to this field. I couldn't swallow this breath, so this time I was ordered to greet those senior officers of the Wehrmacht. Zhang Jinghui couldn't live or die, because the other party's guards heard that it was a unit of the Wehrmacht who was wounded by the division, and as a result. Tang Yulin took over this errand and led a cavalry company on the road, and did not dare to rest on the road. After walking all morning, I finally saw the joint location. Gengjiazhuang.

Gengjiazhuang is located in the southeast of Xunnan nearly a hundred miles, just on the edge of the Songhua River, because of the close proximity to the Songhua River, the traffic here is more convenient, in ancient times it can be navigated, and now the steamship technology is reached. The shipping industry is even more prosperous, and the center has been encouraging businessmen to invest in the steamship industry in the three eastern provinces. The current Gengjiazhuang is much more lively than Zhunan.

When Tang Yulin led the people to Gengjiazhuang, the senior officers of the Wehrmacht had been waiting here for several hours, and they had arrived from Changchun by boat.

Xunnan is located at the junction of Liaoning Province, Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province, and is under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province. The strategic position is very important, the 16th Division is stationed here, the main task is to protect the security of the border areas of the three provinces, to eliminate bandits, and to use it as a strategic force to monitor the northwest direction of Outer Mongolia, because the south is not far from Chahar and Outer Mongolia, and the 16th Division has the combat experience of clearing out horse bandits and Mongolian bandits over the years, and the cavalry has very strong combat effectiveness, and is longer than the pursuit of operations in the grassland. Once the central order is given, the 16th Division can quickly mobilize thousands of cavalry for a long attack.

It was not known what the Wehrmacht had sent people to do. Before Tang Yulin left, Zhang Zuoshuang specially advised. Let him talk less, and the other party will say whatever he asks, if the center plans to completely reorganize the 16th Division into a Wehrmacht unit, then it is necessary to find a good way out for the brothers, and it is not possible to ask someone to "merge with fire".

Tang Yulin doesn't have much other skills, but this courage is not comparable to ordinary people, er. Pool gambling with people. Lost. So he took a soldering iron and burned it on his leg, which called out how much "Sun Ming's character, such a character, of course, will not put any center, the 6th military headquarters in his eyes, when he arrived at Gengjiazhuang, he saw that almost all the senior officers of the National Defense Force who came over were younger than him, and they were all "stunned". This shelf naturally got up, and he was full of spirit when he spoke.

Of course, Tang Erhu didn't know that the senior officers he met were not stunned young people who couldn't handle things well, and the officers were Wu Luzhen, as for the other people, they were Sun Yue, Liu Fuji, and He Bang, these people are indeed not as old as Tang Yulin's qualifications, but they are all professional officers who have experienced battle formations, some have studied military abroad, and some have fought guerrilla warfare in North Korea, it is not up to who has a long beard to decide who is qualified to be the earth overlord.

Wu Luzhen and Sun Yue also calmed down, knowing Tang Yulin's background, they didn't have the same knowledge as him, and when he was bored, he got back to business.

"Brigadier Tang. This time, we came here mainly to see the training of the cavalry units of the 16th Division, and now the princes and monks of Outer Mongolia are getting more and more troublesome, and the center is considering whether to choose a suitable time to give the clowns some colors to see. At that time, your 16th Division will be the advance force of the 6th Army Headquarters, and if you can't say it, you will be of great use in the future, if the cavalry does not fight and delays the major national affairs, Division Commander Zhang will eat the board. ”

Wu Luzhen's words were false, saying that he was going to fight the prince of Outer Mongolia. But in fact, his intention was to use the cavalry of the 16th Division to fight the Japanese army, but considering the background of Zhang Zuoshuang's long-term dealings with the Japanese, this truth cannot be told yet, and it may be safer to talk about it after the war.

As soon as Tang Yulin heard this, his eyebrows immediately fluttered, although the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian bandit cavalry is strong, but that refers to the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, the real corps combat, the Mongolian cavalry is not the opponent of the 16th Division, and there is another advantage to fighting with the Mongolian bandits, the spoils of war do not have to be handed over to the prince, most of the princes of Outer Mongolia are hereditary for hundreds of years, and the wealth accumulated by the palace is indeed coveted, if you go to fight Outer Mongolia, the 16th Division can make a small fortune, of course, the premise is that Tsarist Russia does not interfere, and now the princes of Outer Mongolia are so arrogant, It was because of the support of Tsarist Russia.

"Mr. Wu's office. Our 16th Division is not blown out, our cavalry is all fought, back then to chase and suppress Mongolian bandits, the center also praised our 16th Division as a tiger, and even the independent cavalry division is not our opponent. ”

Seeing that Tang Yulin was blowing a little boundless, Wu Luzhen just smiled faintly, the soldiers were not afraid of bragging, they were afraid that they didn't have the courage to go to the battlefield, after all, this time it was not a war with the Mongolian bandits, it was a war with the Japanese army, what kind of unit was the 16th Division, he, the general border affairs office of the three eastern provinces, knew best in his heart that this local army from the green forest could fight a good battle. However, if they are asked to play the vanguard, it will be difficult for some strongmen, so in this operation against Japan, the 16th Division will be used as a second-line force, and as for the first-line troops, it will still have to rely on the Wehrmacht.

"That's good. Don't just talk about not practicing, let's go to Tongnan and take a look at the Tiger Ben troops of your 16th Division. ”

Wu Luzhen was not ambiguous, and immediately led everyone to step on the war horse, followed Tang Yulin to leave Gengjiazhuang, and rushed to the south.

In the afternoon of the same day. Before dark, Wu Luzhen and others arrived in Yannan. Zhang Zuoshuang led the senior officers of the division to welcome him out twenty miles away, and he was very respectful.

Wu Luzhen arrived at the headquarters of the 16th Division, and did not be verbose, and ordered that all troops assemble and be reviewed, in addition to watching the cavalry tactical performance, Wu Luzhen also issued a strange order, he asked Zhang Zuoshuang to send a few officers to the villages in Linnan to convene the village chiefs and patriarchs, and let them come to Changnan for a meeting before noon tomorrow.

Zhang Zuoshuang was a little strange, and cautiously asked a few words, only then did he slightly figure out the meaning of General Manager Wu's office, in fact, this is the order of the center, now to start a war, the local public security work must be done well, in order to further strengthen the control and organization of the grassroots forces in Tongnan society, the center intends to organize a hoe society in Tongnan.

After two years of exhibition, some areas of Liaoning have set up a hoe society in the countryside, and the grassroots social reform here has been lagging behind other places, but now, it is obvious that the center has decided to strengthen the social transformation of the Tongnan area.

This is the general trend of history, Zhang Zuoshuang does not dare to move against the trend of the times, he does not have the capital, besides, since his think tank and military adviser Wang Yongjiang was transferred to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce by the center. There are no more talents around him who can give advice, so Zhang Zuoshuang has long thrown his pride and ambition to fight for the world into the ravine, and now, he is wholeheartedly moving closer to the center, hoping to benefit Zhang Zai's family as much as possible before losing all military power.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the outside of the pass is not better than the inside of the pass, there are more opportunities to make money here, provided that you have enough strength, Zhang Zuoshuang understands this, so he hopes to hold the military power for a long time, but on the other hand. He also understands that once the "mad president" decides to remove his military power, then it is better for him to honestly hand over military power, after all, times have changed. No matter how high the mountain is, the emperor has disappeared. And the planes appeared, and compared with the military resources at the disposal of the center, the 16th Division was a bunch of poor haha.
