    After this war, the last organized non-direct army in the Northeast was eliminated, and Zhang Zuolin had complete control over the armies of the three northeastern provinces in name and in fact.  This battle also allowed Wu Junsheng, Zhang Jinghui, and Ji Jinchun to see Zhang Hanqing's extraordinary courage and resourcefulness, and finally recognized the young marshal's military ability in their hearts.

    The Guards Division's ability to block Gao Shibi's all-out attack with one regiment may not be a great success, but the special operations brigade used one battalion to force Gao Shibi to give up on rescuing his beloved artillery battalion and capture a large amount of baggage for Ji Jinchuncheng's organization.  And almost a complete artillery battalion is impressive.  Therefore, when judging merit, Ji Yiqiao ranks first.

    Ji Yiqiao¡¯s military rank was originally major general (although the special operations brigade was originally a battalion-level organization). This time, he was specifically given the rank of major general plus lieutenant general and was transferred to the Northeast Lecture Hall to serve as the captain of the student training team.  The reason why it is called Northeast Military Academy is because the tide has lifted all boats, and Fengtian Jiangwu Hall has also begun to recruit students from all over Northeast China. Therefore, it was renamed Northeast Military Academy accordingly.

    It is understandable to enrich the student teaching team. Zhang Hanqing always insists on recruiting knowledgeable students to join the army, so he attaches great importance to their training teachers. The student army is also Zhang Hanqing's signature.  It was previously led by Wang Yizhe. After he served as Secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Political Department of the First Division, he no longer had the energy to continue the teaching of the student army. Ji Yiqiao had rich training and battlefield experience, and he acted at the right time, and soon  Is necessary.

    The main officers of the Guards Division and the First Division were all students and officers from the Jiangwu Hall. Their extraordinary performance under Zhang Hanqing's training made Zhang Zuolin strengthen his idea of ??reusing officers from the Jiangwu Hall.  He stipulated that when the Fengjun army has a vacancy of regimental and battalion commanders, the chiefs of staff, regimental deputy, instructors of the martial arts hall, and captains of each unit will fill the vacancies.  Senior officers who have been in the military for a long time must also regularly return to the martial arts hall to serve as instructors and transfer their experience to younger generations, forming a spiral promotion channel from the army to the school to the army.

    Of course, returning to the army may not necessarily be the same army as before. Timely rotation of senior officers is also a means for Lao Zhang to ensure that his subordinates do not form personal forces.  Needless to say, this was Zhang Hanqing's move.  If everyone does this, it doesn't matter who is targeted, but invisibly everyone has a deeper respect for Zhang Zuolin's authority.

    In order to ensure Zhang Hanqing¡¯s status in the army, Zhang Zuolin also stipulated that junior officers such as squad and platoon leaders should be served by outstanding student army graduates or soldiers with military merit.  In this way, it ensures the continuous improvement of the military's capabilities from the grassroots level, and also ensures that the new generation of officers come from the young marshal's disciples, laying the foundation for the young marshal to take full power in the future.

    In addition, Fengjun is not exclusive: whether you graduated from Baoding Martial Arts Hall or studied in Japan or Europe, as long as you have the ability, you are welcome to join Fengjun.  Therefore, graduates from various military academies believe that there is a future in following the Fengjun Army.  At this time, Beiyang warlords generally preferred people with military backgrounds to lead their troops, and those with student backgrounds could only be used as staff officers. Uniquely, Fengjun was different from this. Many people with student backgrounds directly led troops.  As a result, famous military training experts such as Yang Zhengzhi, Dai Lianxi, He Zhuguo, and Mao Fucheng, who have been instructors at Baoding Army School for many years, defected to Fengjun and successively served in the army.

    Zhang Hanqing was also promoted to major general and lieutenant general due to his outstanding military exploits. After this battle, he established his authority at the top of the Fengjun army. Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhang Zuolin temporarily restored the post of general counselor of the patrol mission to him, which gave him fame and fortune.  Double harvest.

    The military and political power were firmly in their hands, but the economic power was monopolized by the Japanese. This made Zhang Zuolin choke in his throat, especially the railway transportation routes that were related to the lifeblood of the Northeast. Except for the North Manchuria Railway, which was still in the hands of the Russians, other  The railways were basically controlled by the Japanese.

    Through the Treaty of Portsmouth, which stipulated that "three kilometers along the railway line shall be controlled by the Japanese", the Japanese opened a large number of mines, reclaimed farmland, designated forest areas and grasslands in Kyrgyzstan and Fengcheng, and stationed themselves in important places.  soldiers.  On both sides of the Japanese-controlled railway, the Japanese had the privilege of acquiring soil, fuel, and construction, which were called annexed areas.  Taking Fengtian Station as an example, the auxiliary area occupies a large area and is the same as the urban area, forming a concession.  It not only has streets, shops, schools, etc., but also has its own police station and barracks. Chinese people who enter are also subject to its management.

    The Japanese controlled important transportation lines, making it impossible for Zhang Zuolin, who legally unified the Northeast, to geographically connect Feng, Ji, and Heilongjiang.  On the surface, he has a huge force of 9 brigades of the 5th Division, but as long as the Japanese do not agree to use railway lines to transport troops, Zhang Zuolin's military advantage cannot be revealed at all. Instead, he has to go his own way in major wars because he has to fortify everywhere.  war.  When he was wiping out the Babu Zabu bandit army, he was forced to walk on two legs. This was regarded as a great shame by both the old and young marshals.

    Therefore, Zhang Zuolin organized the 9 brigades of troops into three security headquarters, which were placed in Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang. They were all under the control of military governors (the one in Fengtian was also under his own control), as part of guarding the local area.Use; five divisions as the main mobile force, directly under the jurisdiction of the Fengjun General Headquarters.

    The book and the article are on the same track.  After unifying the military and administration, it is not a problem that the transportation hub is not in our own hands.  Zhang Zuolin had long discussed with Zhang Hanqing how to plan to build his own railway to bypass the Japanese sphere of influence to control the three northeastern provinces. Lu Ronghuan and Wang Naibin, who followed Zhang Hanqing, were both railway experts, and they were both appointed to the position of director of the Department of Transportation.  They were ordered to send many workers to survey the terrain and calculate the pros and cons. After half a year of hard work, they achieved great results.

    In the second year after the victory of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan built railways from Fengtian to Andong and Fengtian to Xinmin.  The reason why we went to Xinmin was to prepare to extend from there to Inner Mongolia in the future, to establish a frontline for controlling the inland.  Zhang Hanqing placed the main force of the Guard Division here in order to cut off his intention to get involved in various parts of Inner Mongolia.

    The reason for going to Andong is to connect Fengtian City to North Korea so that it can strategically control Fengtian.  Anton is today's Dandong, across the river from North Korea.  At the same time as the Republic of China was founded, the Japanese built the Yalu River Bridge from Andong to Sinuiju, North Korea.

    During Yuan Shikai¡¯s term, Japan obtained the privilege of building the fifth railway between Manchuria and Mongolia.  Among them, the borrowing rights of the Sitao, Kaihai and Changtao railways, and the borrowing priority of the Taocheng and Jihai railways.  The so-called borrowing power means that you must use my loan; the so-called borrowing priority means that if you want to borrow money from foreign countries to build railways, you must use my money. Given the financial situation during the Republic of China, it would not be possible to do well without foreign loans.  Through these overlord clauses, Japan laid the groundwork for its continued in-depth control of Northeast China.

    Fengxin, Jingfeng, Nanman, Anfeng, and the five lines leading from Fengtian provincial capital to other places are all under the control of the Japanese; the Changji and Nanman railways monopolize the external transportation of Changchun, the Jilin provincial capital;  In Siping, an important town at the junction of Jilin and Fengcheng, the construction from Siping to Zhengjiatun was completed in the sixth year of the Republic of China, so the Japanese built a police station in Zhengjiatun. This was one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing clashed with them when he suppressed bandits.  The so-called "Zhengbai Railway" from Zhengjiatun west to Tongliao (Zhengjiatun to Baiyintai Lai, namely Tongliao), a road map of about 230 miles has been completed. Cao Rulin, the Chief of Transportation and Chief of Finance of the Xiqi Rui Government of the Republic of China, has  Renewed the loan of 2.6 million Japanese gold from Japan Bank to prepare to start construction.  Once completed, Japan's plan to extend its eastern route into Mongolia will succeed again.

    Looking at the colorfully marked route maps on the map, the old and young marshals can¡¯t help but be frightened.

    How to deal with the Japanese encroachment on Northeast China and the hinterland of Mongolia?  Zhang Zuolin decided not to borrow money from Japan to build the railway, but to use self-reliance to raise funds.  It doesn't matter if it's not enough, just repair a section and use it, and the funds will be withdrawn as much as possible. When you have money, continue to repair.  It is foreseeable that the Northeast's finances will improve significantly. It is serious to build the major cities in the three Northeast provinces in order. It is most important to limit the expansion momentum of the Japanese first.  Without money, Zhang Hanqing came up with some ideas, which won the approval of the old commander. The idea of ??using the newly captured officers and soldiers of the Jilin Mixed Brigade to build the railway was Zhang Hanqing's latest move: autonomy.

    As early as May 26, 1918, Zhang Zuolin and Sun Liechen jointly announced: "From the beginning of May, all political affairs in the three eastern provinces and the people of the three eastern provinces will be decided by themselves; and together with comrades from the southwest and Yangtze River provinces, we will act in concert; support the law,  Support autonomy, eradicate violence, and promote unification." At that time, it was to support Duan Qirui. Not only Zhang Zuolin, but also more than a dozen other provinces in the military governorate had announced this.

    Because the central government controlled by Duan Qirui has always acquiesced, now it¡¯s time to make the lie come true.

    Riding on the trend of Northeastern autonomy, Zhang Zuolin rejected the central government's road construction loan, saying that the Northeastern government's financial situation is now good and internal construction has been planned, so there is no need to worry about the "Zhengbai" railway.  Because it is "autonomy", the Beijing government cannot impose any restrictions on the construction of civil affairs in Northeast China, so it has to deal with the matter coldly.  However, Japanese Consul Yoshida Shigeru of Fengtian still visited Zhang Zuolin in person for this purpose.

    Yoshida Shigeru is Zhang Zuolin's "old friend". In the foreseeable future, he will continue to become Zhang Hanqing's "new friend".  When it comes to major events, Zhang Hanqing, as the general counselor, is naturally present.

    Yoshida Shigeru first praised Zhang Hanqing¡¯s dazzling performance in recent years, then talked about the ¡°friendship¡± with Zhang Zuolin, and also talked about the history of happy cooperation between them.  Of course, his original intention was not to reminisce with Zhang Zuolin.  He said to Zhang Zuolin in a very sincere manner: "I heard that the patrol envoy rejected the loan from the Central Committee of your country for the Zhengbai Railway. I thought it was very inappropriate. The patrol envoy knew that Northeast China is huge and rich in products.  , but transportation problems restrict the development of people's livelihood in various places. Building railways is the fundamental solution to this problem, and it can also make the lives of the people under the general's rule better. But I know that your financial resources are not very abundant, and you need to raise troops and build. Listen,  You said that you also want to establish a university in Northeast China, but the cost is too high. Japan's loan will just meet the general's urgent need, and it will also connect Kyrgyzstan, Fenghuang and Mongolia into one, which is a good thing that benefits both sides. Our government |  I deeply regret this matter."
