Among those who wish to return to the East are the Kalmyks, who are descendants of the Mongol ethnic group who believe in Lamaism, and they number as many as 300,000. The Kalmyks, some Turks, and the Chinese intervention army, with a total of 500,000 troops, marched eastward along the Russian Central Asian Railway, and no Russian army dared to provoke this huge contingent along the way because of the civil strife in Russia.

When the Kalmyks begged Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru only thought for a few minutes and decided to return with the Kalmyks to the east. The squadron will protect the Kalmyks, and at the same time he needs someone to protect the Outer Northwest, and there is no doubt that the Kalmyks are the most suitable people to protect the Outer Northwest. These Kalmyks are not a burden, Wang Maoru has to escort this batch of oil production equipment, with the help of Kalmyk herdsmen to transport it, the Chinese soldiers can pull out their hands.

It is also fortunate that most of the Turkic and Kalmyk people who returned to the east were herders, and none of them walked by land and rode on horses. Even they were faster than Wang Maoru's army, and they only needed to send Mongol tents for these people to march. The Kalmyks lived in the Tatar steppes and were exploited by various forces, including White Russians, Red Russians, Tatars, and Cossacks, and now that the Russian Civil War is in the Russian Civil War, many Kalmyks do not want to live here. The greatest difficulty they encountered on their way back to the east was the Kazakhs, who would never allow the Kalmyks to enter their territory. There is a deep hatred between the two races, which has survived to the present day when the Kazakhs were massacred by the Mongols.

The Chinese who returned to the east did not march fast, but the army of nearly half a million people could not be seen at a glance, Wang Maoru took Azarennu's Turkic cavalry as the vanguard, and the Turks who had returned to him formed the 16th Cavalry Division as the broken team, and the Chinese army of seven divisions was responsible for protecting it in the middle, and began a long journey to the east.

The high morale of the people, especially the desire to return home and the centuries-old desire of the Kalmyks to return to their land, united them. More belligerent. In this battle in Russia, the Chinese tempered the team and cultivated the combat ability of the squadron, and at the same time made the remaining battles become a division of a hundred battles and the most elite troops. Wang Maoru knows very well. After his 130,000 troops returned home. Far more powerful than the 300,000 troops before the war, this is 130,000 bloody soldiers, 130,000 veterans who have experienced the test of life and death.

At first, Tsar Nicholas II ignored Tatyana's hard work. He is also preparing to send troops to intercept the squadron, and he is already preparing to draft a telegram asking the Kazakhs to stop the Chinese. And because of the close relations between the Far Eastern Gang and the Chinese, Berever was removed from the post of chief of the General Staff, and Krasnov, the commander of the Russian Fifth Army (formerly the Volga Army Allied Imperial Army), immediately defected to Deputy Prime Minister Tubanev. This made the Moscow Gang the largest force in Tsarist Russia.

But just as Nicholas II was preparing to gather forces to attack China's eastward return team, his most trusted subordinate, his confidant Deputy Prime Minister Tubanev, gave him a big mouth.

Tubanev, who had taken command of the Volga Army, led his army to capture Saratov in successive battles near Berkrovsk. However, he was proud and ventured into Frunze's ambush, and Tubanev's 350,000 troops suffered heavy losses, and even he himself was spared with the help of the Japanese intervention army.

Frunze immediately led the Eastern Front Southern Campaign Group to cooperate with the Southern Front, which had already drawn its hands, to flank the Third Army on both sides, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle at Berkrovsk. In order to relieve the troops trapped in the Far East, the commander of the Japanese intervention army added two more divisions to the front line, but was vetoed by the cabinet. The Japanese could not afford another 50,000 troops to be besieged. In this way, four of Japan's seventeen standing divisions were surrounded by the Russians in Berkrovsk.

Nicholas II looked up to the sky and roared, Chinese, why did you abandon us?

Later, the Russians had a saying to describe that other people's stinginess came from Nicholas II, for the sake of 20,000 square kilometers of land. Lost 20 million square kilometers of the empire.

Domestically, since the beginning of the year, Sun Wen sent a large number of Kuomintang members to the northeast to seek development, but found the time for development here. The party's power is constrained by law, and some people have made trouble. Some people think that parties that are subject to the law are more reasonable. But for Sun Wen, he does not appreciate legal constraints, because China is now divided, and the law can only restrict those who respect the law, and for those who do not respect the law, the law is a blank slate.

The difference between his philosophy and Wang Maoru's is this, Wang Maoru believes that rules are the most important, and everything has a regular rule, while Sun Wen believes that the achievement of the goal (result) is far more important than a system, so Sun Wen returned to Shanghai. But President Sun was not idle, because the Protector Army and the Beiyang Army needed a person in charge of the north-south peace talks, and Sun Wen became the person in charge of the southern peace talks.

After Wang Maoru's withdrawal order was issued, not only the Anhui government opposed it, but also many generals in his immediate line also opposed it, especially Wu Peifu and Wu Dashuai, who reacted most fiercely, and he believed that Wang Maoru's withdrawal would damage the national prestige. Wu Peifu has always been sharp-tongued and not afraid of offending people, and his words are generally needle-provoking and disadvantageous. Wu Peifu's words represent the direct repercussions of Cao Kun's life. However, Zhang Zuolin of the Northwest Army supported Wang Maoru at this time, claiming that the Russian wolf ambition did not intend to return the country, so why bother to lose his own strength for other countries, could it be that Wu Peifu was a Russian lackey?

So Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin had a verbal battle.

When the central government of Anhui wanted to deal with Wang Maoru strictly, everyone stopped talking, and no one said anything about it, even Sun Wen's southern Kuomintang was silent at this moment. It is useless to offend Wang Maoru and them, and it is very likely to provoke a strong enemy, and the warlords are quite envious of the wealth outside the Guanwai, but if they live in the northeast, where one-third or even half of the year is winter, everyone has little interest. This is like the only son of the Anhui family singing a big drama, even Duan Qirui feels that it is not a taste, and everyone is ready to watch themselves lively.

The Anhui department continued to create public opinion in the newspapers, forcing Wang Maoru to announce his support for Russia, but unfortunately this flattering eye was thrown to the blind man, Wang Maoru was far away in Russia, how could he have time to care about domestic affairs. In order to deal with the Anhui system's coveting of the northeast, Wang Maoru secretly ordered Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the General Staff, to be the person in charge and attack the Anhui army, and he could not sit back and wait for them to kill him.

Wang Maoru said to Jiang Fangzhen: "In my territory, don't have a war, burn the flames of war to their homes." ”

Jiang Fangzhen immediately mobilized several new units to replace the 13th Division in Changchun, the 14th Division in Harbin, and the 8th Division in Shenyang, and the above three main divisions were all transferred to Rehe and Shanhaiguan, and prepared to block (or take the initiative to launch) the Anhui attack. Wang Maoru planned to tear his face with the Beiyang government again after leading the army to the east.

Although seven divisions went to Russia, in the northeast, Wang Maoru also had the second, fourth, fifth, eighth, ninth, thirteenth, and fourteenth divisions, two armed police brigades in Rehe, three in Liaoning, two in Heilongjiang, two in Jilin, and one in Mongolia, and three army divisions (not yet numbered) formed by Zhang Xiaozhun in Harbin, and there were 300,000 army forces in the northeast alone.

Wang Maoru ordered Jiang Fangzhen to take action against the Anhui system, first of all, to deal with the three army divisions of the Anhui system that remained in Vladivostok, and not to worry about the Beiyang army or his own eastward return team. However, Jiang Fangzhen brought Wang Maoru an excellent news, that is, Wei Zonghan, commander of the Ninth Division of the Beiyang Army of the Third Group Army of the Intervention Army, returned to Beijing to recuperate because he was ambushed by Soviet Russian guerrillas, and the person who took over the position of commander of the Ninth Division was actually Lu Jin's direct general appointed by President Xu Shichang. No one thought that Xu Shichang, who had been silent in the battle between Zhiwan and Anhui, blackened Duan Qirui, although Lu Jin only served as the acting division commander, but Xu Shichang's hand made Duan Qirui crooked his nose in anger.

Lu Jin himself was a native of Tianjin, so he naturally supported the direct line and opposed the Anhui lineage, and was appointed by President Xu Shichang as the acting commander of the Ninth Division of the Army, and then happily went north to lead the guards to Vladivostok. However, after coming to Vladivostok to go through the handover procedures, he had to face rejection, and he was overturned by the people of the Ninth Division, which were all Anhui officers. Duan Qirui sneered in Tianjin and said, even if you become the Ninth Division, do you really think that the Ninth Division will become a direct person? From top to bottom, the Ninth Division is all from my Anhui family, and you are still a little tender.

But Lu Jin is also a wonderful person, he knows that if he wants to keep his position, he can't just rely on himself and his direct family in China, so he immediately sent someone to find Jiang Fangzhen and ask him for help. Lu Jin once served as a staff officer in the Beiyang Army Staff Office and had an old relationship with Jiang Fangzhen.

But Jiang Fangzhen is not an unscrupulous politician like Wang Maoru, he is just a general, a general in charge of operations, he said that he could not help Lu Jin deal with the officers of the Ninth Division, which would go against the will of the people, and his own people would beat his own people and let foreigners see jokes. Lu Jinyi, who was forced to leave by the Anhui officers of the Ninth Division, was ruthless, and decided to lead the Ninth Division anyway to support the Northeast Army, and then wrote a secret letter to Jiang Fangzhen to surrender.

After receiving Lu Jin's letter requesting surrender, Jiang Fangzhen did not dare to make his own decisions, he was afraid that Lu Jin was deceitful to surrender, so he sent a secret telegram to Wang Maoru -- this is also thanks to Wang Maoru's purchase of 50 telegraph machines from the Americans after returning to China, and the communication between the two sides is very convenient.
