"Lao Yuan sent us a telegram again, asking us to solve the problem in southern Liaoning as soon as possible."

"Dashuai, they are all a bunch of rabble, don't care, there are clumsy words to command the troops, it is easy to eliminate them." Yuan Jinkai said to Lao Zhang: "The trouble is Japan's attitude, the Japanese demand to stop confiscating the land of the Eight Banners as soon as possible, and are still protesting against our abuse of justice." ”

"Those old and young are all Japanese dogs, and they naturally don't want to see the dogs die so miserably. But if we don't confiscate these lands, how can we solve the financial gap? ”

Wang Yongjiang said loudly: "Dashuai, no matter what, you have to resist the pressure, as long as the land is disposed of, I am sure that the balance of 5 million oceans this year, within three years, I will pay back all the arrears that Fengtian has owed for many years, and I can also renovate water conservancy, build schools and factories, and expand the military strength of Fengtian." ”

The biggest driving force that can make Wang Yongjiang brave the world's disapproval and insist on confiscating the land of the Eight Banners is income, the common people have changed from tenant farmers to homesteaders, the hidden land has been cleared, and the land empowerment of Fengtian has increased by more than half, with this money, there are too many things that can be done.

Not only Wang Yongjiang was attracted by these profits, but even Lao Zhang was crazy, in addition to the growth of Tian Fu, Zhang Zuolin was tempted by the floating wealth of nearly 10 million alone, with this money, Lao Zhang was able to change all the troops under him, and he could also use silver to open the way, buy other shili, and dominate Fengtian.

This is Zhang Zuolin's goal all along, where would he give up easily.

"The Japanese protested against them, and while we were delaying, we moved quickly, and at the beginning of spring, we would dispose of all the land almost the same, so as not to delay spring ploughing. When the wood is ready, the Japanese can't say anything. ”

Lao Zhang said again: "The strength of southern Liaoning still seems to be a little weak, and I am ready to send a battalion over." ”

"Since I want to send reinforcements, I suggest sending a cavalry battalion over, the combat effectiveness of my subordinates is already very good, what is lacking is the ability to maneuver, and it just so happens that the bandits also pay attention to a speed." Sun Liechen expressed his opinion.

Lao Zhang immediately nodded in agreement, and at this time Zhang Zuoxiang also spoke: "Dashuai, southern Liaoning has developed to this point, and Brother Ma is still slow to react. Some shouldn't. ”

Ma Longtan's movements were indeed too slow, and Lao Zhang was also very dissatisfied, he had sent several telegrams to Ma Longtan in a row, but Ma Longtan was just perfunctory, but there was no action.

But Ma Longtan is his sworn brother again. The qualifications are too old, and Lao Zhang is not too likely to blame.

"I'll send someone over to contact Brother Ma. Let him raise his attention. Don't let the traitors get out of the way. ”

At this time, Zhang Tinglan commanded the army and swept away several bandits in a row, including bandits and bandits, as well as disgruntled landlords, but they were all in a hurry, preparing in a hurry, and the army wiped them out as soon as they left.

The Feng army is like an iron plow. As soon as he left, the militia was established, the local management power changed hands, and the shili in Zhang Tinglan's hands became stronger and stronger, and the other small bandits had no ability to challenge at all. Therefore, they either died down or went to join the revolutionary party in Zhuanghe.

The reshuffle in the land of southern Liaoning continues, and the cavalry battalion sent by Lao Zhang has arrived, and there are two people in charge of commanding, the battalion commander is Ma Zhanshan, and the deputy battalion commander is Wu Kaijie.

For Ma Zhanshan, I'm afraid few people don't know that after the 918 incident, Ma Zhanshan led his subordinates to fight with Japan many times, and was respected as an anti-Japanese hero.

He was also born in the green forest, and was later incorporated by Wu Junsheng and served as a company commander, and in this attack on Chifeng, Ma Zhanshan performed bravely and was promoted to battalion commander. Immediately, Lao Wu sent him to raid the pastures of the Eight Banners in Taonan, and the task was completed very beautifully, and now Liaonan urgently needs to use troops, and Ma Zhanshan's department was sent over.

Ma Zhanshan did not have a famous name in later generations at this time, and he was just an ordinary middle-level officer in the Feng army, and he still admired Zhang Tinglan very much.

"Commander Zhang, Brigade Commander Wu explained before I came, everything is arranged by Commander Zhang, you let me go east, we will never go west."

"With the cooperation of Battalion Commander Ma, I am more sure."

"Brother Humble Yan, after this battle, I'm afraid I'm going to be the brigade commander, among our younger generation, you are this one!" Wu Kaijie stretched out his thumb as he spoke, obviously very envious, although Lao Wu focused on cultivating him, he didn't dare to help him grow, so he could only let him be trained step by step.

The last time he caught Mi Zhenbiao, it was regarded as showing his face to Lao Wu, and he was promoted to deputy battalion commander, as long as he exercised, he could soar.

"Don't worry, there will be more opportunities to make contributions on the battlefield in the future, last time I caught Mi Zhenbiao, this time I caught He Tianjiong."

"Brother Humble Yan, when did you order the attack, everyone is a little impatient, and it really makes people angry to let those miscellaneous people be arrogant."

"Don't worry, the small Zhuanghe can't raise so many soldiers at all, they will definitely be dispatched in the near future, as long as this rabble is dispatched, it will reveal flaws, it will be easy for us to clean them up again, what we have to do now is to wait for the opportunity, one blow is fatal."

Things are really as Zhang Tinglan judged, Zhuanghe was not big, but thousands of soldiers poured in at once, and the city was full of people living inside and outside the city, these guys had no discipline at all, harassing the people everywhere, making the people complain.

Moreover, they also asked He Tianjiong for military salaries, cotton clothes, and opium. Although He Tianjiong asked for a lot of money from Okura Kihachiro, he couldn't spend it casually, he still had to occupy the entire southern Liaoning.

He had to find Gu Renyi to discuss carefully, and the two decided to leave a thousand guards in Zhuanghe, and then personally lead an army of three thousand to attack Donggang, and then use Donggang as a base to attack Dandong and Fengcheng in the north.

This battle was also approved by Honjo Shigeru, and the two men immediately led the soldiers into action, and the three thousand soldiers left the Zhuang River and went directly north.

"To put it mildly, He Tianjiong and they have made a move, leading 3,000 soldiers to attack Donggang."

Zhang Tinglan looked at the map, looked at it carefully, and then said, "Neighbors, since they have acted, we can't be idle. You see how we should arrange it. ”

"Originally, we lacked mobility liliang, and there were some troubles, but now with the help of the battalion commander Ma, everything is much easier, I think that in this way, we will take the main force to aid Donggang, and strive to be outside Donggang, so we will annihilate He Tianjiong and them in one fell swoop, and the battalion commander Ma will take the cavalry and attack Zhuanghe. cut off their rear road, so that He Tianjiong's troops would collapse without a fight. ”

Zhang Tinglan looked at the map again, thought carefully about Yang Yuting's combat jihua, and there were no loopholes, so he basically agreed.

Just as they were dispatching their troops. Zhang Tinglan frowned, and there was always something wrong in her heart.

"Neighbors. Let's put ourselves in their shoes. If you were Japanese, would you still support the revolutionary party at this time? ”

Yang Yuting also hesitated, thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid not, since the Zongshe Party is finished." The revolutionary party's foundation in the northeast is not as good as that of the Zongsha Party, and its subordinates are even more rabble, and if it were me, I would let the revolutionary party hide first. Wait until more haode opportunities, rather than brute force. ”

"Lingge, since you think it's all brute force, wouldn't the Japanese think of it? They're fanatical, but they're not stupid! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Neighbors, I think we have some negligence, since the Japanese dare to let the revolutionary party cause trouble, they must have a basis, if we don't find out their backs, let's act rashly, I'm worried that there will be trouble."

Zhang Tinglan thought about it again and again, looked at the map repeatedly, his brows locked deeper, and he asked staff officer Zhao Pei to call over.

"Staff Officer Zhao, are you familiar with the situation in Donggang, and who is responsible for guarding here?"

Zhao Pei followed Ma Longtan for a long time, and he was very clear about Ma Longtan's characters, so he said without hesitation: "It is a battalion of Fang Wenhua who is responsible for guarding Donggang, because after the thieves appeared in Zhuanghe, another battalion was dispatched, there is nearly a regiment of defenders here, and there should be no problem to deal with thousands of rabble?" ”

Zhang Tinglan listened, nodded, and then asked, "Who is Fang Wenhua?" ”

"He is the younger brother of the deputy town guard envoy Fang Wendong, he has nothing special, his elder brother is the right-hand man of the town guard envoy, the town guard envoy has handed over a lot of military affairs to Fang Wendong in the past two years, he handles it conscientiously, and is very respected by the army."

"Clumsy words, you suddenly asked this, do you suspect that there will be a loophole on the side of the Ma Zhen Guard?" Yang Yuting asked in surprise.

Zhang Tinglan sighed and said: "Something is abnormal, even if Ma Longtan is dissatisfied with us coming, he will not come to the point of ignoring it, especially since the property of the Manchu nobles is being cleaned up in various places, and only the East Side Road has the least movement." ”

Zhang Tinglan's reminder made Yang Yuting also wake up like a dream, and hurriedly nodded and said: "What he said is reasonable, Ma Longtan doesn't need to get along with money, and he is not rich in his hands, so it stands to reason that he will not refuse to accept this windfall." ”

Ma Longtan's various actions are indeed a little suspicious, the more Yang Yuting thinks about it, the more suspicious he becomes, maybe they really ignored something.

"Neighbor Ge, it's useless for us to think nonsense here, no matter what, even if we rely on our own liliang, we must pacify this gang of bandits, and return Fengtian to a bright future."

Zhang Tinglan randomly ordered all the soldiers of the Feng army to mobilize, and Ma Zhanshan and Wu Kaijie commanded a battalion of cavalry to attack Zhuanghe.

"Brother Humble Yan, I'm not cowardly, it's just that with cavalry, it's still a little difficult to attack a city."

"Don't worry, as long as you get to Zhuanghe, there will be people in the city to pick you up, and there is absolutely no difficulty in occupying the county seat."

Wu Kaijie also showed a smile on his face when he heard this: "Dare to speak clumsily, you are living Zhuge ah, there is a clever plan, then I can rest assured." ”

Zhang Tinglan grabbed him and called Ma Zhanshan over: "Battalion Commander Ma, Brother Wu, you must not be careless, the revolutionary party is a rabble, but there are Japanese standing behind them, this is the real trouble, you can't take it lightly." And after the recovery of Zhuanghe, no matter what, we must defend to the death, no matter who we face, we can't retreat in any way. ”

"Head Zhang, is there any news that is not haode?" Ma Zhanshan asked a little surprised.

"It's just that I don't have a hunch at all, so be more careful."

"Rest assured, no matter what happens, as long as there are more than 100 catties of Ma Zhanshan, Zhuanghe will definitely be able to hold it."

Ma Zhanshan and Wu Kaijie left with the men and horses, and Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting also commanded their subordinates to rush towards Donggang quickly, and they all used the fastest speed along the way, not daring to carry the slightest.

Seeing that there was Donggang in front of him, the soldiers who were scouting suddenly ran over in a panic.

"Report to the regiment commander, the army of the revolutionary party has successfully entered the Zhuang River a few hours ago."

"Didn't you meet with resistance?"

"No, I asked the people around me, and they said that there was no sign of any fighting, as if, as if the defenders of Donggang took the initiative to take the rebels in."

Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting's eyes flashed with a look of horror, I am afraid that the last thing they want to see has happened, and Ma Longtan's subordinates really have a problem.

At this time, staff officer Zhao Pei also ran over, his face was full of horror: "Commander Zhang, the situation is not good, Fang Wenhua has already announced an uprising and joined the army of the revolutionary party, what should we do?" (To be continued......)
