Send yourself a helper! Feng Yuxiang immediately understood that this was to spy on himself, but could he refuse at this time, so Feng Yuxiang nodded without hesitation.

"The chief of staff only assigns, and Yuxiang does everything."

Yang Yuting was also very happy when he saw Feng Yuxiang so knowledgeable: "The person I sent to you is called Zhang Zongchang, he served as a military adviser in the Far Eastern Empire, and he has a lot of means to deal with foreign races and pagans, and he needs such talents very much to stabilize the northwest." ”

"Thank you Chief of Staff for your kindness!" Feng Yuxiang thanked him again and again.

Zhang Tinglan saw that the conversation was almost over, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the defective general away. Jiang Baili suddenly smiled and said: "Neighbor Ge, you sent Zhang Zongchang, the demon star, to Feng Yuxiang, I'm afraid that there will be no time for the northwest to settle down." Just for what he did in the Far East, the Northwest is probably going to be overheaded. ”

Yang Yuting also said with a smile: "If there is no chaos, there will be great chaos, the northwest is entrenched by the Ma family's army, and the black smoke is full of miasma, and it is time to clean up, there is nothing great about killing a few people, besides, those bastards of the Ma family army all deserve to die." ”

Zhang Tinglan also agreed with Yang Yuting's arrangement, Zhang Zongchang was greedy and tyrannical, and he was also ruthless in his work, and Fengjun had sent him to the Far Eastern Empire to put him in charge of social security and arrest the remnants of the majority of the party.

Of course, this is only an overt excuse, in fact, it is to implement a policy of reducing the number of White Russians in the Far East. Zhang Zongchang handled this matter very well, and in three months, he arrested more than 50,000 people, confiscated 20 million rubles of property, shot more than 7,000 people, and sent 30,000 laborers to the Feng army.

After the chaos in the Far East, the population has long been less than one million, and all the people killed by Zhang Zongchang are young and middle-aged, and the labor force in the Far East can no longer be maintained by itself. Emigration from China, it is logical.

Zhang Zongchang's reputation has also been completely stinky, and the Russians in the Far East have set up a lot of assassination squads, and they want to get rid of him. For such a character who can do dirty work, Feng Jun was reluctant to let him die, so he was sent to the northwest to let him continue to exert his heat and harm Ma Jiajun.

Gunma in the northwest rose in the late Qing Dynasty, and during the Tongzhi period, the number of Hui people in Shaanxi and Gansu increased greatly. Bai Yanhu and Ma Hualong and other leaders secretly conspired to try to establish an independent religious state, killing all Han Chinese, and more than 20 million Han Chinese were killed in the two provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu. Shaanxi, the hardest-hit area, lost more than 75 percent of its population. It is not uncommon to slaughter 100,000 people, or even hundreds of thousands, at a time. Many counties were slaughtered. The banks of the Weishui River are full of corpses and bones.

Later, Zuo Zongtang led the troops to clean up and basically wiped out the people who made the rebellion, and also used the means of massacre to massacre, and Bai Yanhu, the main culprit, fled to Central Asia in a hurry. At that time, Ma Zhanao, the ancestor of the Ma family's army, Ma Haiyan. Ma Qianling and others also participated in this riot, with the blood of countless Han people on their hands.

It's just that Zuo Zongtang didn't kill them all at that time and accepted their surrender, and as a result, the Shili of the Ma Jiajun took root in the northwest. In recent years. With the increase in population, the strength of Ma Jiajun continued to expand, and the northwest was unstable.

Zhang Tinglan knows very well that Ma Jiajun is a cancer, as long as they develop, they will still try to be independent, and they use the banner of religion to brutalize the Han people and massacre, so they can only take super tough measures against them, and if they are not killed, there will be no time for stability in the northwest.

Moreover, according to Zhang Tinglan's strategic plan, first those Inner and Outer Mongolia, and then eliminate the threat of Far East Russia, the next step is to enter the northwest, on the one hand, to obtain sufficient strategic depth, and on the other hand, to obtain oil resources.

With this strategic goal, Ma Jiajun and these people have entered the countdown to life, and Zhang Tinglan will not condone and tolerate these bastards like the Manchu Qing and Beiyang.

"Neighbor Ge, give a good explanation, we must implement the policy of reducing Ding in the northwest, control the number of pagans, not only eliminate the Ma Jiajun, but also dispose of all the people close to the Ma Jiajun, and show the butcher knife at the critical moment, and we will carry all the consequences for him!"

"Don't worry, I will explain it clearly."

Yang Yuting is also a ruthless person, Zhang Tinglan cherishes feathers and pays attention to affection, Yang Yuting can be ruthless, let him deal with the affairs of the northwest, Zhang Tinglan is one hundred and twenty rest assured.

After Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zongchang got Zhang Tinglan's order, they immediately took action, Lao Feng pulled up the banner and gathered the old department, Zhang Zongchang worked in the Far East, and there were 3,000 White Russian soldiers in his hands, these two people got together, it can be said that they are a perfect combination.

One capricious, the other vile and shameless, is simply the perfect combination. In less than half a month, Feng Yuxiang gathered more than 5,000 people, and the appointment of the Beiyang government was also issued. However, it was not the Northwest Frontier Supervision Office requested by Zhang Tinglan, but only the title of Xuanfu envoy. But no matter what, Feng Yuxiang already had a reason to march into the northwest, and the army immediately started and marched to the northwest.

Just ten days before Feng Yuxiang sent his troops, Yan Xishan, the overseer of Shanxi, also secretly came to Fengtian, and Zhang Tinglan did not immediately meet Yan Xishan, but arranged for Yan Laoxi to visit various places.

It was Qiao Ruixuan who accompanied Yan Xishan to visit, Qiao Ruixuan was born in Jin and was the first to cooperate with Zhang Tinglan, and now the industrial development has been very amazing. He has just invested in the construction of a farm machinery factory, which mainly produces small diesel tractors. The Northeast Plains are vast, and these machines are very popular, and a large number of orders have already been received before they even roll off the production line.

Yan Xishan, accompanied by Qiao Ruixuan, first visited this factory that produces tractors. As soon as Yan Laoxi came to the factory gate, he was completely stunned.

The factory area covers an area of 20 acres, with tall courtyard walls and strict management. The production mode of the assembly line is completely adopted, and each worker is responsible for a process, all of which are meticulous, just like a machine.

In about half an hour, a single-cylinder diesel engine was assembled, and Yan Xishan was dumbfounded. In fact, he was also working hard to make his own munitions, first establishing an ordnance repair factory in Taiyuan, and then trying to make his own guns, but due to the poor machinery and equipment, he completely adopted the model of a small workshop.

It takes three or four days to produce a butt, and it takes a month to repair a gun, and the number of guns produced each month is also uncertain, three or five, and sometimes seven or eight, and it is impossible to cope with the consumption of the troops.

However, this is quite good among the warlords in the country, after all, most warlords do not even have the awareness to make munitions.

Qiao Ruixuan peeked at Yan Xishan, who was in a stupor, and said with a smile: "Gong Yan, this is just a civilian factory, the production efficiency is still quite low, and the workers are not skilled enough, if you go to the arsenals in Fengtian and Jilin, then it is called a big deal, guns are like running water, you can easily make tens of thousands of them a month, and if you are fully mobilized, it is not difficult to reach hundreds of thousands." ”

As soon as he heard the news, Yan Xishan was completely stunned, and only said after a while: "Brother Qiao, you are not lying to me, Fengjun really has such a powerful ability, I studied in Japan at the beginning, and Japanese factories may not have this ability!" ”

"Yan Gong, if you don't have this ability, how can the Feng army make the Russians bow their heads, victory is won by the barrel of a gun, the daily consumption of arms is quite amazing, or how to say that when the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold."

Yan Xishan also barely calmed down, and he asked with a little hesitation: "Brother Qiao, the foundation of the three eastern provinces was all created by Lan Shuai?" ”

"That's right, I can be regarded as lucky, when Lan Shuai just started his business, I joined the Fengtian Industrial Group, and initially we produced canned food, quilts and other things, all of which were sold to the Entente in exchange for the initial development funds. To tell the truth, and then relied on smuggling to Russia, in exchange for a lot of machines, and from that time on, the Feng army had the ability to make its own munitions. Then, in cooperation with the United States and Germany, a considerable number of machines were introduced one after another, and it can be said unceremoniously that there are not many Japanese who can surpass ours except for large ship power. ”

With strength, it is necessary to show it, Qiao Ruixuan not only introduced the history of Fengjun to Yan Xishan, but also took Lao Xi to visit a large number of Fengtian factories. Including power plants, tractor factories, aircraft factories, etc., everywhere he went, Lao Xi's heart was severely damaged.

The large production line is like a long steel dragon lying on the ground, and those workers are orderly, everything is like a machine, and there is no error.

From small screws to large planes and tanks, the Feng army can produce almost everything, while Shanxi, on the other hand, can produce almost nothing.

Yan Xishan initially wanted to learn from the experience of the Feng army, copy what the Feng army did in Shanxi, and make the Jin army strong, but after more than ten days of investigation, Yan Laoxi completely dispelled this idea.

He also figured it out, weishenme Fengjun dared to show it generously, just because people have this confidence, put it in front of you clearly, and you have no way to copy it.

Zhang Tinglan was able to get to this point, relying on an accurate grasp of the international situation and making full use of every opportunity, Yan Laoxi definitely did not have this ability. Moreover, Shanxi does not have the richness of the three eastern provinces, and Yan Xishan completely dispelled the idea of competing with the Feng army.

However, with such a powerful neighbor by his side, Yan Xishan was also restless, and when he arrived at Zuihou, Qiao Ruixuan led Yan Xishan to the Fengtian Arsenal, Yan Laoxi was already a little nervous, and the number of guns he made in a month was not as much as the heavy artillery made by others, is there anything more desperate in this world!

But just when Yan Laoxi was circling in the arsenal, Zhang Tinglan also arrived at the factory, far away, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Yan Dujun, Zhang Mou neglected the distinguished guest, please forgive me, in order to apologize, I have a cooperation jihua, I don't know if you want to?"
