young marshal spring and autumn

While Feng Delin was still being dealt with, Zhang Hanqing had already set his sights on Jilin and Heilongjiang.He wants to rely on the Northeast to change the future situation, but he feels that the time is running out.And his ambitious "father" Zhang Zuolin, because he is competing with Feng Delin in Fengtian, is unable to look north.Based on the situation in the Northeast provinces, the father and son believed that Meng Enyuan in Jilin was very wary of him.However, due to internal strife in Heilongjiang, there is a better chance of resolving it.

Even so, the father and son still thought about it for a long time, thinking that it is not enough to do it directly, and it is better to use other people's hands to remotely control Jiang Province.The two stared at Xu Lanzhou at the same time.So they hit it off and discussed a method of "borrowing chickens to lay eggs", that is, to control Heilongjiang Province through Xu Lanzhou, and first take Heilongjiang, which is easier to solve.

Xu Lanzhou, commander of the First Division of the Army stationed in Heilongjiang, whose name is Zhitian, is from Balizhuang, Nangong, Zhili.He studied Confucianism and martial arts when he was young, and joined the army as a young man. He was recommended to study in Hunan Lecture Hall, and joined the Beiyang Army after graduation.In the third year of the Republic of China, Xu Lanzhou served as a lieutenant general and division commander of the army. He was the number one powerful figure in the military circles of Heilongjiang Province.

Xu Lanzhou had a close personal relationship with Zhang Zuolin. During his tenure as division commander, he was ambitious and always wanted to seize the military and political power in Heilongjiang Province. He was called "Zhang Zuolin" of Heilongjiang Province.Zhang Zuolin also strongly supported Xu Lanzhou's behavior of crowding out those in power in Heilongjiang Province. He promised to recommend him to be the governor of Heilongjiang after the event was completed, and promised to provide financial assistance. Japan's 300 million yuan foreign debt is delayed, and I will transfer it to you first."

After Li Yuanhong succeeded the President, Bi Guifang, the "Russian expert" who had served as the governor of Heilongjiang Province, took office again and became the governor and military governor of Heilongjiang Province.Bi Guifang was originally a bannerman, but later changed to Zhili nationality. She was a diplomat and served as an attache of the Qing embassy in Russia.Bi Guifang, who went and returned, made Xu Lanzhou very jealous, thinking: "I have worked hard, and I just squeezed out Zhen'an Right General Zhu Qinglan, so I got a position as an assistant to the military affairs, but you sit back and enjoy the rewards and tell me what to do. It can't be so cheap. you!"

The opportunity finally came!Bi Guifang was known to be afraid of his wife. In order to make his wife happy, on the occasion of his wife's birthday, he held a large banquet and entertained guests.Li Jinglin and others, Xu Lanzhou's cronies, deliberately yelled and shouted at the banquet, causing Bi Guifang to clash with the officers.Yingshun, the commander of the fourth cavalry brigade, and Ba Yinger, the commander of the first infantry brigade, were also dissatisfied with Bi Guifang, so they conspired with Xu Lanzhou's confidant Ren Guodong and said, "We plan to ask Master Xu to come out as the supervisor. What do you think?" Ren Guodong, who instructed him, readily agreed and made a wish that if Xu Lanzhou was appointed as the governor of Heilongjiang and Bi Guifang was driven away, Ba Yinger could be promoted to division commander, and Yingshun could also serve as the guardian envoy.The two hit it off at the wine table.

In June 1917, when the warlord regiments became independent one after another, Xu Lanzhou, the military supervisor of Heilongjiang, also declared independence. He was not against the central government, but against the governor Bi.Bi negotiated with him and was willing to stay as the governor in exchange for the governor.Xu Yiyi also wanted the warlord in order to bargain.Relying on his own military power, Xu Lanzhou ordered Yingshun and others to lead troops to the Warlord's Office to ask Bi Guifang to "give up the virtuous".Bi Guifang was called the military governor, but there was not a single soldier.Under pressure, Bi offered to give up as the governor, leaving only the post of warlord.But Xu Lanzhou refused, and not only asked Bi Guifang to give up all her duties, but also restricted her to leave the country within 6 hours.

Bi Guifang had no choice but to wait for the approval of the central government, so he issued a notice to step down from the field, praising the agent, and the electric cloud said: "Xu Bangban is shrewd and courageous, with a thorough understanding of the border, and he can really help the difficult times, and he is the pillar of the country." The two positions of governor and governor All were handed over to Xu Lanzhou, who angrily resigned and returned to Beijing.

Xu Lanzhou got his wish, maybe he felt embarrassed, so he also sent a telegram and said: "Bi Dujun is as modest as he is, and he resigned from his post. He picked up the scorpion and kept him, but he failed to resign. He had to accept his lack temporarily." Appointed by the government, he proclaimed himself the governor of Heilongjiang.Then he broke his promise and promoted his confidant Xin Guodong to be the teacher, leaving Yingshun and Ba Yinger, who were eagerly staring at this position, aside.

Ying and Pakistan were extremely angry after being tricked.The two began to turn their guns on Xu Lanzhou.For a time, the smell of gunpowder in Heilongjiang was strong, and the war was on the verge of breaking out.

Duan Qirui's cabinet didn't care about the dispute between Bi and Xu, and he had no intention of showing Bi, but he didn't like to make trouble, so he called Xu to Beijing for a talk.Xu Lanzhou called back and said: "There are two sect members in Heilongjiang, Yingshun and Ba Yinger, and they must stay here to fight bandits." s help.

At this time, Zhang Zuolin was quietly watching the changes in the current situation. Seeing the political chaos in Heilongjiang, Zhang Zuolin was secretly happy.But he is still in a stalemate with the 28th division Feng Delin, and he is powerless.Just as he was about to politely refuse, Zhang Hanqing whispered in his ear, "It's a once in a thousand years to hunt cattle across the mountains."

Wake up the dreamer, Zhang Zuolin decided to use the means of "seizing power in chaos" to win Heilongjiang in one fell swoop.He sent his confidant Sun Liechen to Jiang Province in the name of mediating the dispute between the two factions to win over the two parties so as to pave the way for a smooth seizure of power.

After Sun Liechen arrived in Jiang Province, he met with Yingshun and Xu Lanzhou successively.Both Yingshun and Sun Liechen had been trained in the Martial Arts Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces.Glad to meet old classmates, Yingshun gave Sun Liechen a complete account of all the affairs in Heilongjiang Province.

Sun Liechen's trip was not in vain. Both sides of the confrontation in Heilongjiang expressed their willingness to obey Zhang Zuolin's arrangement, and Sun Xing rushed back to Fengtian to return to his order.Hearing the good news, Zhang Zuolin immediately sent a telegram to Duan Qirui, his power partner and a powerful figure in the Beijing government, recommending his son and daughter's in-laws, Bao Guiqing, director of the Central Army's lecture hall, to take over as the governor of Heilongjiang Province.

Bao Guiqing is also one of Duan Qirui's arms, a veteran of the Northeast.Moreover, Zhang Zuolin was originally married to Zhao's eldest daughter Zhang Shoufang (also known as Guanying) who was born in 1898 and married her son Bao Yucai. With this kind of relationship, it is estimated that it is a role acceptable to all parties. The Beijing government quickly agreed to Zhang Zuolin's sponsorship, 7 On April 26, Bao Guiqing was announced as the governor and governor of Heilongjiang.

 Xu Lanzhou, who was threatened by Britain and Pakistan and severely reprimanded by the central government, was also disheartened and did not have much resistance to Bao Guiqing's arrival.
