Jagged Warlord

It is said that after leaving the envoys of the five countries, Song Xiaolian went to the Prime Minister's Office by car.

As soon as he walked into Li Mohan's office, he saw an acquaintance sitting on the chair opposite Li Mohan, "Oh, Zhu Qinglan, is that you?"

"Song Xiaolian, is that you?" The other party also stood up, Zhu Qinglan, Ziziqiao Zhu Qinglan's family was in decline when he was young, and his family moved to Jinzhou, Fengtian Province.At first, Zhu Qinglan was interested in learning, and later he joined the army. In 1893, he entered the patrol palace of Jinzhou, and was gradually promoted to the commander of five battalions due to his military achievements.

In 1904, Zhao Erxun became General Shengjing, and Zhu Qinglan worked under him.Later, Zhu Qinglan was appointed as the supervisor of the camp affairs office, responsible for the military reform in Fengtian Province. In 1906, Zhu Qinglan served as the commander of Zhao Erxun's troops directly under him and stationed in Shenyang. In 1909, Zhao Erxun became governor of Sichuan.Zhu Qinglan followed him into Sichuan Province and served as the 33rd Mixed Association of the Army. In 1911, the association was upgraded to the No.17 town of the army, and Zhu Qinglan was in charge of the town.Zhu Qinglan then recruited Cheng Qian, Fang Shengtao and other soldiers who had studied in Japan to strengthen the army.

In 1912, Zhu Qinglan was ordered by Yuan Shikai to assist Song Xiaolian, the governor of Heilongjiang who was not familiar with military affairs, and Zhu Qinglan was appointed as the chief of staff of the Heilongjiang Supervision Office. In August 1913, Song Xiaolian resigned, and Bi Guifang took care of the governor of Heilongjiang.In October of the same year, Zhu Qinglan served as the military envoy and chief of civil affairs. In 8, the Chief of Civil Affairs was changed to a patrol envoy, and he continued to serve as a patrol envoy in Heilongjiang. In June, the guard envoy was changed to General Zhen'an You.

1915年9月，朱庆澜和其他14省的将军共同发出支持袁世凯称帝的电文。12月，他获封一等子爵。袁世凯取消帝制前后，1916年朱庆澜因受到黒龙江第1师师长许兰洲、该师参谋长李景林的军事压力而被迫下野。

During the four years when Zhu Qinglan ruled Heilongjiang, he organized a security team to stabilize the social order, paid attention to the development of reclamation, road construction, social welfare and relief, and achieved practical results in both military and civil administration.His plain and simple attitude towards life has also won the favor of Heilongjiang people.

Song Xiaolian and Zhu Qinglan are both old men in the officialdom. This time Li Mohan brought them together, there must be something wrong.

Sure enough, Li Mohan showed Song Xiaolian a document called "Heilongjiang Agricultural Plan for the Next Five Years".Song Xiaolian didn't dare to neglect, sat down solemnly, and began to read every word carefully. "Heilongjiang Agricultural Plan for the Next Five Years" wrote:

The first is to actively develop high-quality grain production, protect and improve grain production capacity.

One is to implement the introduction, breeding, and promotion of improved varieties, build soybean, corn, rice, wheat, potato and flax and other crop variety improvement test fields, build a 600 million mu specialized original improved varieties and improved varieties production base, and then promote the regional layout of superior agricultural products;

The second is to give priority to the development of Harbin, Mudanjiang, Jiamusi, and Jixi rice industry belts, Qiqihar, Suihua, Heihe soybean industry belts, and Harbin and Suihua corn industry belts.

The second is to continue to vigorously develop animal husbandry.

One is to accelerate the construction of a large-scale, standardized and intensive modern animal husbandry industry system.Introduce and breed fine varieties, and enhance the overall strength of the animal husbandry industry.Among them, vigorously develop dairy cattle, beef cattle, pigs and other leading breeds, and actively develop sheep, egg poultry, meat poultry, aquaculture and special breeding breeds.

The second is to develop characteristic animal husbandry according to the natural conditions of each place. For example, the Songnen Plain focuses on dairy cows, live pigs, and meat layer chickens; the eastern mountainous areas and mid-level areas focus on beef cattle and mutton sheep; The Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains focus on fur animals for medicinal use, special breeding and beekeeping.

The third is to vigorously promote the progress of agricultural science and technology.

One is to actively establish the breeding and promotion of improved varieties, and the protection of animal and plant epidemic prevention.Set up a specialized agricultural college to train agricultural talents. After completing their studies, the college is sent to the countryside to guide farmers in the scientific use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.Establish a modern and scientific circular agricultural system, thereby changing the backward agricultural model of simply relying on the sky for food;

The second is to strengthen the construction of agricultural infrastructure, further strengthen the construction of farmland water conservancy, fully develop and utilize water resources, expand the area of ​​farmland irrigation, improve the ability of farmland disaster prevention, and improve agricultural production conditions.

The fourth is to actively develop the food processing industry on the basis of consolidating agriculture and animal husbandry.In order to make full use of the resources of agricultural products in the place of origin, increase the degree of transformation of agricultural and sideline products and the proportion of intensive processing.

One is dairy product processing, making use of the rich dairy industry resources in the central, western and eastern parts of Heilongjiang Province to vigorously develop dairy product processing;

Second soybean processing, in order to take advantage of the soybean resources in Heilongjiang, adopt soybean deep processing technology, establish soybean processing enterprises, improve the production level of soybean protein, soybean refined oil and other series of products, and vigorously develop soybean processing;

The third is corn processing, in order to establish and expand the corn deep processing industry around the main corn producing area of ​​the Songnen Plain, develop corn starch sugar and other derivative products based on corn starch, and improve the deep processing and comprehensive utilization of corn;

[-]. Rice processing, in order to actively cultivate grain production bases and rice processing industries around the main rice producing areas such as the central and southern parts of Heilongjiang Province and the Sanjiang Plain;

The fifth is potato processing, focusing on the main potato production areas in the west and north of Heilongjiang Province, and developing potato starch, refined potato starch, traditional vermicelli products, starch sugar, potato wine and other products according to the local agricultural characteristics;

The sixth is meat processing, increasing the proportion of mechanized slaughtering, realizing large-scale operation, and building processing plants for live pigs, beef cattle, broiler chickens, and big geese.

Seven is beer beverage, taking advantage of Heilongjiang's advantage of having the earliest hop planting base in China, Yimpo Hop Farm, adopting modern fermentation and filling technology and equipment to improve the quality of beer products, and appropriately expanding the proportion of high-quality beer production.

In addition, the "Heilongjiang Agricultural Plan for the Next Five Years" also includes increasing rural infrastructure construction, increasing investment in rural education, setting up government-run free schools, and building new hospitals.In short, the content is detailed and rich, the expression is extremely colloquial, and the content is also very detailed.

Holding this plan, Song Xiaolian's hands trembled slightly. What he thought of, others thought of, and what he didn't think of, others also thought of.There are only four words in Song Xiaolian's mind at the moment - the pillars of the country. The content of this plan is rich and detailed. Compared with the Sun Wen League~~now called the Kuomintang, the set of the Three People's Principles, which is somewhat grand and simplistic, is really a hundred times stronger.

Song Xiaolian said: "This set of plans is very detailed. If it can be implemented, it will be a blessing to the scholars and people of the Black Province."

Li Mohan said: "To make a long story short, I know that you and Zhu Ziqiao are old partners in literature and military affairs, so I came to you this time to plan to rectify Heilongjiang's government and military affairs. Xu Lanzhou and Li Jinglin are too outrageous."

In May 1917, Duan Qirui was removed from the post of Prime Minister due to the "dispute between government and courtyard" in the Beijing government.Zhang Zuolin supports Duan Qirui and prepares Raj, Hei and Fengtian to declare independence together.On May 5 of the same year, Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram stating that he would break away from the central government. Bi Guifang did not advocate the immediate declaration of Heilongjiang independence. Xu Lanzhou felt that the opportunity to expel Bi Guifang had come. On May 5, Xu forced Bi Guifang to send a telegram to temporarily break away from the central government.Then Bi Guifang was forced to announce her resignation on June 30, with Xu Lanzhou temporarily acting as the military governor and governor, and then left the provincial capital Qiqihar.

However, Xu Lanzhou was firmly opposed by Yingshun, commander of the cavalry brigade stationed in Hulan, and Ba Yinger, commander of the first brigade of the first division stationed in Helen.They issued a statement, accusing Xu Lanzhou of expelling Zhu Qinglan, forcing Bi Guifang to leave, acting on his own behalf without the order of the central government, announcing that they would sever ties with him, and they would "swear to fight against each other and wipe out the evildoers."Xu Lanzhou was tit-for-tat, and also issued a statement accusing Yingshun and others of harboring different ambitions for a long time, using the clan as the main purpose, and attempting to destroy it.At this time, the dispute between the government and court in Beijing was so intense that it was unable to take into account the affairs of Heilongjiang. As a result, two forces confronted each other in the political arena of Heilongjiang Province.

Now that Duan Qiruinan has fled to Nanjing, Feng Guozhang has not taken any major actions for the time being, and Li Mohan, who has freed up his hands, is ready to clean up the three eastern provinces and use this fertile land as his solid rear.

Li Mohan said: "I am going to send troops north to Heilongjiang this time, nominally to protect overseas Chinese in Russia, but in fact I also shoulder a special mission, that is to get rid of Zhang Zuolin from Fengtian, Xu Lanzhou from Heilongjiang and Meng Enyuan from Jilin." The three men They were all on Duan Qirui's side in the court dispute, but in fact they were right about Li Yuanhong, not Li Mohan, because Li Mohan was still in Shandong at that time.However, even so, for his own purpose, Li Mohan still wants to firmly hold these three important provinces in his own hands.

The reason why the old bureaucrats Song Xiaolian and Zhu Qinglan were chosen was entirely because Li Mohan's own direct descendants were too few to be competent.For this reason, Li Mohan specially set up a government affairs college in Beijing, focusing on cultivating government affairs talents, so as to replace these old-fashioned bureaucrats in the future.

Li Mohan's plan is to use Feng Delin and Tang Yulin to suppress Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian, and replace them with his subordinates Shao Jianfeng and Wang Shihua when they lose both, replace Xu Lanzhou with Song Xiaolian and Zhu Qinglan in Heilongjiang, and use his confidant First Secretary in Jilin Shang Yifu and Wang Yongnian replaced Meng Enyuan.In this way, after the three eastern provinces are in his hands, his territory in the north will be connected in a line.

Song Xiaolian said: "Although the method is good, if you march in with great fanfare, I'm afraid it will startle the snake."

Li Mohan said: "It's inevitable, so you two should use your connections in the Northeast as much as possible. In addition, Mr. Song Huanzhang and Mr. Song will take the troops to go out with you. His nominal mission is to go to Vladivostok, Khabarovsk And Jiangdong 64 to guard overseas Chinese, but you should also understand the secret mission."

Song Xiaolian and Zhu Qinglan, the old partners, glanced at each other, and said to Li Mohan together: "We must live up to the high expectations placed on us by the Prime Minister."
