young marshal spring and autumn

Considering that Xu Lanzhou is a dangerous person who makes waves in the military circles of Jiang Province, and has heavy troops under him, Bao Guiqing has just arrived, fearing that he will not be able to contain him and cause chaos, so he called Duan Qirui many times to seek countermeasures.Duan Qirui believed that although Bao Guiqing was Zhang Zuolin's in-law, he was loyal to him. If he could not control the situation, it would definitely affect the authority of the central government, so he deliberately transferred Xu to Zhang Zuolin's command in order to restrain himself.

But Zhang Zuolin replied hypocritically that he only paid attention to Hei Province for the sake of peace in the Northeast, and since he had good relations with Bao and Xu, if he merged with Xu Lanzhou, first, it would greatly damage the friendship of friends, and second, it would cause people to form My impression is that Zhang Zuolin came here for the benefit of power expansion, but he refused to accept his resignation.

Besides Zhang Zuolin, who else could restrain an elephant like Xu Lanzhou?And if Xu is not allowed to completely leave his base in Black Province, Bao Guiqing, the warlord, will be in name only.Therefore, after many negotiations between the two sides, still in the hands of the central government, they strictly ordered Xu Lanzhou and his 1st division's 5 cavalry battalions and 3 infantry battalions to be transferred to Fengtian immediately, under Zhang Zuolin's command.

Xu Lanzhou had no choice but to obey.

Seeing Xu Lanzhou, Zhang Zuolin's first words were: "I'm sorry big brother, I can't help big brother, because my people are busy dealing with the 28th division, I can't spare a hand, please forgive me." Xu Lanzhou was angry, But seeing Zhang Zuolin's sincerity, it's hard to say anything else.It just means that I came to Feng Province and lived in a sparsely populated area, and Zhang Zuolin needed to raise and settle various supplies and military salaries.

Zhang Zuolin was well prepared and agreed repeatedly.He called Zhang Hanqing and said face to face: "Mr. Xu is my elder brother. He is temporarily settling in Feng Province. You must treat him as if you were your uncle. You need food for food, and you need money for money. In a word , If the 27th division eats, the 1st division must drink. You will be responsible for the specific matters, and if you have any difficulties, you can report to me directly."

This kind of words and the way to deal with them have been carefully rehearsed before Xu came, and Zhang Hanqing also vowed to go all out to take good care of Xu's life in Feng Province.He also called Mi Chunlin, the Quartermaster of the Guards Brigade, on the spot and asked him to fully cooperate with Xu's logistics work.

Mi Chunlin was not very famous at the time, but Zhang Hanqing knew the ability of this man who later became the leader of the four major military supplies of the Northeast Army.Zhu Qinglan, who had served as an army general and governor of Guangdong at any time before, served as the director of the Salary Division of the Guangdong Provincial Governor's Office and the general office of the Provincial Government Coal Bureau.During this period, he assisted Zhu Qinglan to clarify the administration of officials, strictly prohibited gambling, and swept away the malpractice of corruption. During this period, he also actively supported the law-protection campaign initiated by Mr. Sun Yat-sen. In 1917, Zhu Qinglan was unable to gain a foothold in Guangdong because he offended Duan Qirui, and was unemployed for a while.Mi Chunlin then returned to Fengtian and joined Sun Liechen, the commander of the No. 20 Seventh Division of the Army, as the lieutenant colonel's adjutant.

If nothing else, he will be promoted gradually.Because of his outstanding ability, Mi Chunlin won Zhang Zuolin's respect for his brother Sun Liechen, and within two years he was promoted to the position of Colonel and Deputy Chief of the Heilongjiang Military Governor's Office and the Clothing Factory Office (Deputy Director).However, Zhang Hanqing was too familiar with him. The so-called "eclectic use of talents" directly pulled him out of the crowd to serve as the general supply of the guard brigade, and his military rank was promoted to colonel in advance.

The old and young marshals were all so polite, Xu Lanzhou's last trace of resentment disappeared without a trace.According to Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, in order to facilitate supplies, Xu Lanzhou's troops were stationed in the former Dingxiangtun outside Fengtian West City, very close to Dafangshitun, the training base of the Guards Brigade.

At the beginning, the interaction between the two sides was good, and Zhang Hanqing lived up to the foreword, and the supplies were delivered on time.But gradually, some gossip slowly spread to Zhang Zuolin, saying that Xu's garrison often dominated the city, and the people in Fengtian provincial city complained a lot, saying that it is rare for a commander to be kind and righteous, and a friend in adversity sees the truth.But Xu Bu was muddy and couldn't support the wall, so he didn't know how to restrain himself.Of course, Zhang Zuolin was furious and scolded Zhang Hanqing for his ineffectiveness, which caused Xu's soldiers to be wronged, and only then did he disturb the people.

These actions are, of course, intentional.In front of everyone, Xu Lanzhou had no choice but to express his sympathy for letting the younger generation be implicated.It is said that the troops have been doing nothing for a long time, so this move is said to be strictly controlled.

Zhang Hanqing chased the snake with the shadow, saying that the training base of the Guards Brigade is there, and that the Xu Department can conduct phased rotation training.He also stated that in order to improve the military quality of its officers, the second phase of the Fengtian Lecture Hall can reserve some places for them, and the newly added officer training group of the Guards Brigade can also conduct short-term training for junior officers to maintain combat effectiveness.His enthusiasm and enthusiasm made it difficult for Xu Lanzhou to refuse the kindness of the younger generation.

In this way, as batches of troops were transferred and some officers were sent out for training in rotation, Xu Lanzhou gradually found that he had lost control of this army: Battalion commanders often did not know where their subordinate companies were, and they could only stay in isolation. It took ten and a half months before he had the chance to meet his familiar subordinates.On the contrary, in the officer teaching regiment of the Zhang Hanqing Guards Brigade, many officers were placed in the positions of commanders at all levels of the battalion and company, and they were called "apprentices" by the euphemistic name.This made him disheartened: After being transferred to Fengtian, Xu Lanzhou lost the base area he had operated for many years, and all his troops were supported by the Fengjun in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.Regardless of morality and power, Zhang Zuolin is not an opponent.

With mental calculations and unintentional calculations, the morale of the army soon fluctuated, and Xu Lanzhou became Zhang Zuolin's "senior prisoner" and simply gave up his jurisdiction over the troops.Zhang Zuolin successfully kicked away the first stumbling block to seize power in Jiang Province.

After Xu Lanzhou left, Yingshun turned to persecute Bao Guiqing with the support of Ba Yinger.They incited the military circles in Jiang Province to oppose the entry of Feng Jun, and threatened Bao Guiqing with force, and the situation in Jiang Province became turbulent again.

Bao Guiqing sent a secret telegram to Zhang Zuolin, asking for assistance.After receiving the urgent report, Zhang Zuolin, in the name of exterminating the Mongolian rebel bandits, informed his brother Wu Junsheng to lead a part of the 29th Division to go north to Jiangxi Province. Yingshun, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, lifted his military power and completed all control of Heilongjiang.Afterwards, Zhang Zuolin and Bao Guiqing went through up-and-down management and asked the Beijing government to remove Yingshun and Ba Yinger from their posts on charges of hijacking officials and embezzling public funds.

Under the gunpoint of Beijing's strict order and Wu Junsheng's troops, Yingshun and Ba Ying'er did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to surrender their military power obediently.The turmoil in the military circles of Jiang Province was completely quelled, and Bao Guiqing's position was also consolidated.However, his status was supported by the troops of Feng Jun and Wu Junsheng. In essence, Bao Guiqing also became Zhang Zuolin's senior puppet.The reason why he didn't change horses directly was because Zhang Zuolin didn't want to show his sharpness too much, and Bao Guiqing was also a close confidant of Duan Qirui's "Master" in the Central Committee, so it would be better to use him to suppress the situation.

Of course, in order to contain Bao Guiqing (in fact, it is more practical to contain Wu Junsheng, who is the dominant force in the army--what is there to guard against the bare-bones Bao Guiqing?), and to express his comfort to Xu Lanzhou, an old man in Jiang Province, Zhang Zuolin still managed to get Xu Lanzhou to return. The original deputy--this also shows that this Marshal Zhang is loyal enough, but Xu Lanzhou returned to the black this time and found that the real power was in the hands of Han Linchun, a general appointed by Zhang Zuolin--Han was appointed to replace Xu Lanzhou as the commander of the 1st Army Division. He seized Heilongjiang Province as his own, and since then Zhang Zuolin has taken substantial steps to transform into the "King of the Northeast".
