Changchun, the Young Marshal's Mansion.

"Young marshal, the strength of the First Brigade has reached nearly 30,000 people, how is this possible?" Xu Lang said in surprise. You must know that Xu Lang is only Feng Yong's operational staff officer, he has not actually led troops to fight, and many things about the Northeast Security Army are stuck in some cold data. You must know that when the First Brigade entered Shaanxi three months ago, its strength was only 12,000, but in just three months, it has greatly doubled. Although Qian Yansheng and the others were recruited in the name of the First Brigade Supplementary Troops, this could not be concealed from Xu Lang's eyes, and these so-called supplementary soldiers were definitely trained according to regular soldiers. It is even unknown whether the veterans and recruits of the 1st Brigade are separated.

"Nothing is impossible! Qian Yansheng and they have not stopped fighting at all during this time, and with the combat effectiveness of the First Brigade, capture must be indispensable. Although the horse bandits are inconspicuous, you must not underestimate the energy contained in these local snakes, the rise of our security army is not thanks to the bandits in the northeast. Moreover, Qian Yansheng's boy reported to us that they were all big horse bandits, and the little horse bandits didn't say anything, but they must be indispensable, and the captured horse bandits were continuously incorporated into the supplementary army. In addition, they suppress bandits in the local area and eliminate harm for the common people, and it is easy to gain the support of the local people. Another point is that the Yulin area is a relatively rich place in Shaanxi, and the first brigade has only doubled its strength in three months, which already shows that they are still relatively strict in selecting soldiers. "I still have some understanding of Qian Yansheng Feng Yong. Although this guy is bold, his loyalty is still fine. Qian Yansheng never went to a regular army elementary school, and after the establishment of the Northeast Military Academy, he was already a general, so he didn't have time to go to class at all. However, Qian Yansheng has a tiger courage, has a sensitive intuition for war, and is naturally suitable for war. And although he is vulgar, he is very good at leading troops, whether it is the original first regiment or the current first brigade, they are definitely elite troops. Now those supplementary troops can be called by him The combat effectiveness has begun to take shape, which shows that the training of new recruits must be good. These old men who followed Feng Yong at the earliest, it can be said that they were all from the training leaders of recruits. Most of their troops were trained by themselves. Therefore, the Northeast Security Army is extremely familiar with the work of recruits. After all, this is determined by the conditions of the Northeast Security Army, and several large-scale trapped troops in the Northeast have all blossomed in an all-round way, Feng Yong only gives the establishment and military salary, and the personnel find their own way, which makes the commanders of various units hollow out their efforts to make the army full.

"Young marshal, what should we do? The 1st Brigade has expanded its troops without permission, which is a disobedience to military orders and a taboo in the army! Xu Lang said. Although he is Feng Yong's close person, and he is Feng Yong's secretary in military command, Xu Lang understands that his status in Feng Yong's heart is not as good as those old brothers who followed him first. Of course, those who are not capable are all deputies, after all, the selection of officers in the Northeast Public Security Army is based on ability rather than seniority. Of course, senior people can also be promoted, but only in deputy positions. Although Xu Lang is in a high position, he is the second batch of foreign military academy students to enter the Northeast Public Security Army, a group lower than Chief of Staff Li Jun, but his status is far from the same. Although Xu Lang is the director of Feng Yong's staff office, he has never been in contact with military power from beginning to end, so he can be said to be a real staff officer. But it was precisely because he followed Feng Yong's side early that he knew Feng Yong's personality better, and knew that Feng Yong was extremely nostalgic, as long as the old subordinates did not commit a matter of principle, they would not be punished too harshly. There is really nothing to say about the placement of those old brothers. This is also the reason why those old men of the security army are willing to die for him.

"Give Zhang Xiaoshan an intra-party warning, and Zhou Bo intra-party demerits!" Feng Yong thought for a while and said. Senior officers like Qian Yansheng and Zhou Bo, who were the first to follow Feng Yong, were of course the first members of the Independence Party. It's just that at present, the National Independence Party is still only developing in the army and the government, because the evaluation of party members is too strict, and it has not yet formed a large-scale influence. But Feng Yong attaches great importance to the National Independence Party, he knows that no matter how strong his personal ability is, it is impossible to be far from right, and a force puts all its hopes on the leader alone, and once the leader has an accident, the result is the consequence of falling apart. Only by forming an organization with common beliefs, and then having a clear party program, can we unite all forces to move forward firmly. And the National Independence Party is Feng Yong's hope and the hope of the future of Northeast China. Therefore, Feng Yong has always adhered to the principle of preferring shortage to excess. Unlike the Kuomintang, in order to seek influence, anyone can join.

Feng Yong is a domineering person, a domineering warlord, and under his rule, no other political party is allowed to hold power, even in the government. The talents of the Kuomintang and other parties who were recruited when the government was established were all resigned by Feng Yong in batches. The entire government has become the domain of the National Independence Party. As for what road China will take in the future, Feng Yong does not have a clear goal in mind. The current ruling system in the Northeast is more like a copy of the social system after the reform and opening up of later generations, and at the same time, in order to ensure its own dictatorship, it has added a lot of imperial tricks of modern warlords to govern the army. Therefore, the current Northeast system has both capitalist and socialist elements. Fortunately, the Soviet Union has not yet been formed, and socialism still exists only in theory. Although the system in the Northeast is strange, it does not arouse the fear of other forces. After all, the chaotic government of the Republic of China is not the focus of the world's attention.

"And how do you count the additional troops of the First Brigade? Do you want to draw them out and form a new unit? Xu Lang asked.

"Forming a new unit?" Feng Yong sank for a moment and said: "Staff Officer Xu, send electricity to Yulin, and establish the Yulin Military Division from now on, Qian Yansheng is the commander of the Yulin Military Division, concurrently serving as the commander of the First Brigade, and Zhou Bo is the political commissar of the Yulin Military Division, and concurrently serving as the political commissar of the First Brigade." The supplementary troops of the 1st Brigade were reorganized into the 1st Supplementary Brigade and the 2nd Supplementary Brigade, which were established as Type B with a full strength of 8,000 troops. The 1st and 2nd Supplementary Brigades joined the battle sequence of the Yulin Army Division. The full strength of the entire army division is 30,000! ”

"Yes!" Xu Lang's face sighed a little, the young marshal really trusts these old subordinates! Such a big mistake was made, and it was solved so lightly! Qian Yansheng and Xu Lang also became the commanders and political commissars of the first military subdivision under the jurisdiction of Northeast China, and this so-called military subdivision is certainly one level lower than that of the military region, but it is also a divisional establishment. Qian Yansheng is already a major general and division commander in the rank. It seems that the news that Qian Yansheng is the young marshal's favorite general is not groundless. Xu Lang thought secretly.

Of course, Feng Yong's reprimands and rewards for the First Brigade were all secretly released, after all, the Yulin area now belongs to Shaanxi, and it is still nominally the territory of Chen Shufan, the overseer of Beiyang Shaanxi, and now the Northeast and Beiyang have just made peace, even if the Northeast occupies the initiative in all aspects, the nominal face of the Northeast will still be given to Beiyang.

"Young marshal, Beijing emergency!" Just after processing Yulin's telegram, another urgent telegram came from Beijing. Xu Lang looked hurried, and it seemed that things were a little tricky.

"What's going on?" Feng Yong asked in a deep voice.

"Beiyang already knows about the entry of the First Brigade into Qin, and asks us to withdraw from the Yulin area immediately!"

"Withdraw?" Feng Yong said with a smile. He Feng Yong didn't have the habit of spitting out the things he swallowed, not to mention that Beiyang's strength is not as good as before, even if it was Beiyang at its peak, Feng Yong was not stunned at all.

"It seems that Chen Shufan has taken refuge in Duan Qirui!" Feng Yong's expression gradually became gloomy. You must know that the First Brigade did not enter Shaanxi on the first day, but has been in Shaanxi for more than three months. Even Yulin, an important town in northern Shaanxi, was captured by Qian Yansheng and them. Not to mention that the First Brigade didn't want to hide Chen Shufan at all, even if they wanted to, they couldn't hide it, Chen Shufan was the head snake of Shaanxi after all. If he didn't make a quick decision when such a large army entered Shaanxi, then he would not be a dictator, but a mallet.

"Young marshal, Chen Shufan was originally from Beiyang?" Xu Lang said in surprise.

"It's not that simple, Chen Shufan is a Beiyang general, but after Yuan Shikai's death, Chen Shufan nominally supported the Beiyang government, but in fact he became the emperor of Shaanxi Province. For the Beiyang government, it also listens to propaganda and does not listen to tunes. If Beiyang during the period of President Yuan Da is compared to a completed gun target, after the death of President Yuan Da, Beiyang has actually been divided. Of course, most of the essence of Beiyang was inherited by Duan Qirui's Anhui line and Feng Guozhang's direct line. From the perspective of Beiyang, our Northeast can also be regarded as a derivative force of Beiyang. My father was born as a Beiyang general, and the independent battalion, the predecessor of our security army, was also subordinate to the combat sequence of the 28th Division of the Beiyang Army. In today's jargon, the direct line and the Anhui line are the descendant forces derived from Beiyang, and our Northeast Army, Shaanxi Qin Army, Shanxi Jin Army, and large and small warlord forces in the Republic of China are all collateral. Now that Beiyang suddenly protested to us, it must be Chen Shufan who took refuge in Beiyang. Now things get a little tricky! Feng Yong frowned.

"Young marshal, now Beiyang is still confronting us on the front line of Chahar, Rehe, and Shanhaiguan, and we are really not suitable to open up a new battlefield!" Although the Northeast has successfully annexed Xinjiang, compared with the Ganning region, Xinjiang has more ethnic minorities and more complicated relations. It's impossible to digest it in a short period of time. Therefore, the Northeast Army must maintain a certain scale of military strength in Xinjiang.

"War doesn't necessarily require sending a large army! The situation in Shaanxi is a bit special, and if it works well, we don't need to send a large army to get a big province in the Northeast! Feng Yong said with a smile.

"Young marshal?"

"That's it! You don't have to ask about it. When the time comes, we will know. Feng Yong smiled and bowed to his hand.

"What about the protest of the government of the Republic of China?" Xu Lang asked.

"Beiyang doesn't want to offend us now. Now the southwest is at a stalemate. If Beiyang doesn't defeat Cai Yi, he won't do anything to us. Otherwise, Beiyang would not have made such a secret telegram. Feng Yong said nonchalantly. As long as the Beiyang army is dragged by Cai Yi on the battlefield in the southwest for a day, then Beiyang will not dare to turn against the northeast for a day. Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang are not fools, and they will not go to war for the remote territory they have just obtained and the northeast, where reconciliation has been reached.
