    Unlike before, it was the first time for his eldest son to lead troops in person. Zhang Zuolin cooperated with Zhang Hanqing in arranging personnel according to their ability.  It was rare for the young marshal to find a few people who could be used easily, so he took special care of them. At the same time, he ordered Niu Yuanfeng, the director of the Fengjun Military Supplies Department, to fully cooperate with all the needs of the "Anmeng Army".

    At this time, the entire Hung Yen Province and most of northern Chahar were under the control of the Feng army, and the "An-Meng Army" could directly send troops to Kulun on the eastern front hundreds of kilometers from Manzhouli to Aershan.

    Hailar is an important place from the east into Outer Mongolia.  The Hailar River where it is located meets the Ergun River to the west and flows into Hulun Lake to the south.  The river flows westward along Hulun Lake, passing through the border town of Kerlensumu, and then turns sharply north to join the Kerulun River in Outer Mongolia.  The Kullen River meanders westward for about a thousand miles, turns north about a hundred miles away from Kulun (now Ulaanbaatar), and disappears into the desert within a hundred miles.  Going west along the river can not only replenish water sources, but also make it less likely to get lost.  You must know that currently the only way to enter Mongolia from the interior is a dilapidated official road from Zhangjiakou north to Kulun.

    The first stop when entering Mongolia is Bayantumen, which is a county-level "big station" on the Gobi Desert in eastern Mongolia.  It's a county, but it's about the same size as a village in the Northeast. The buildings are much worse than our village, and there are almost no roads.

    There is a military camp next to the "county seat". There are not many soldiers. There are only more than 200 people. Just these 200 people. Some wear their hats crookedly, some have their clothes draped on their shoulders, some are shirtless, and some have belts open and their pants are loose.  The hair is almost exposed, and the expression is basically numb and the eyes are dull, a bit like the expressions of Xu Sanduo and his three brothers before joining the army in "Soldier Assault". They seem to be less energetic than the bandits in China in the old society.  This seems to be an army without combat effectiveness, yes, it must be, because their military appearance definitely reveals this.

    Of course, such a large number of troops and more cavalry entered Mongolia for other purposes. As "Operation Huang Aunt" came to an end, Zhang Hanqing's focus was no longer on how to win, but on the aftermath.  Besides, taking Mongolia is not a problem. The problem is what to do after we take it?  How can we avoid the fate of Mongolia in the official history of reconquering, revolting, and eventually separating and becoming independent?  His troops are also the seeds of the new Mongolian army in the future, and are responsible for ensuring the political naturalization of Mongolia to China after the war.  China has always had a saying of "get it immediately, but not conquer it immediately". However, when Xu Shuzheng tried his best to appease the surrendered Outer Mongolia, he was unable to appease their uneasy hearts, which led to Mongolia still gaining independence two years later.

    Are the Mongolian people incompatible with the Han people?  Not really.  Historically, the Xianbei and Mongolian Manchu and Qing dynasties took control of the Central Plains and then integrated into the Han Dynasty. Later generations of Manchu, Tibetan, Mongolian, Xinjiang, Zhuang, Hui and other ethnic minorities have been well integrated into the Chinese nation.  Harmony is like a family, and development complements each other.  Chinese Confucian culture told Zhang Hanqing with great inclusiveness: It is not that the Chinese nation is not inclusive enough.

    That is another conclusion: some Mongolians are unwilling to be included in the big family of the Chinese nation.  For these people, persuasion and comfort alone are not enough; civil governance must be prepared with military force.  We cannot be kind to those who are determined to turn themselves into pawns of foreign tribes and separate Mongolia. We should resolutely deport them as they wish and let them get what they want.  If they insist on refusing to leave, and act as a stir-up to create reactionary forces and noise in the local area, they should resolutely stop the killings with killing, which may lead to long-term peace and stability.

    Another way is to immigrate.

    The "Kyakhta Agreement" and a series of previous treaties have made it impossible to immigrate from mainland China to Outer Mongolia.  Perhaps because of the vast land and sparse population and low pursuit of quality of life, Outer Mongolians are a bit lazy (in fact, it seems more accurate to use "very lazy" to describe it, but using "very lazy" is suspected of ethnic discrimination, so it is not used). Of course  So very poor.  So even with such abundant resources, the Mongolians have not become rich.  At that time, the population of Mongolia was about 2 million, and by the beginning of the 21st century, it was only 2.5 million. The reason why the population has not increased significantly after nearly 90 years is because the birth rate of Mongolians is extremely low, which is similar to that of Inner Mongolia.  The Mongolian people are very different. I suspect that there is something wrong with the diet structure of Outer Mongolia. Otherwise, why do Russians and Russified Mongolians have low birth rates?

    Having occupied Mongolia, if you want to hold on to such a large place, you will need a large number of immigrants.  Moreover, with so many Chinese people in later generations, the vast territory of Mongolia should be able to alleviate the huge population pressure.

    The means of living in Mongolia are concentrated in the hands of a few upper-class people such as Mongolian princes and nobles. They own a large number of pastures and live a life of dreams and dreams. Of course they do not want to change the status quo.  Herdsmen without knowledge and culture are unable to transform themselves and survive, and can only become slaves.  The reason why the dominant Mongolian upper class has such a strong independent tendency is because a centralized government has always been theirThe insecurities of a privileged life.

    After passing through Bayan Aobao County, Wendurhan City, Mulun County, Zhelgalat Khan County, Chenhelmandal County, and Bayan Dragail County - these are actually counties.  It's just a small village or a place that is not even a village. Finally, there is no river (the remaining tributaries of the Ergun River go north from here and disappear into the vast desert). There is no incident along the way.  Decent resistance may be due to the fact that the eastern part is the vast Gobi Desert, the personnel are extremely sparse, and there is no military and economic value. There is no complete garrison here at all.

    In his spare time, Zhang Hanqing also discussed the significance of Anmeng and its impact on the situation in the northwest with several members of the Military Commission.  Of course, they had many discussions on this during this long journey.  They are still skeptical about Zhang Hanqing's promotion of Mongolia's strategic position to influence Soviet Russia's layout in the Far East, because in their view, no matter how advantageous China's geographical location is now, it cannot threaten the existence of Soviet Russia, but they fully recognize Mongolia's contribution to stability  The importance of the northwest frontier also recognized the military strategy of using this place as a springboard to enter the northwest provinces with relatively weak armed forces. At the same time, he was attracted by the young commander's grand ambition.

    Zhang Hanqing talked about the contradictions between the Zhili-Anhui clique, the fragility of Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang regime in the south, and the future glory of the Fengcian clique.  He formally revealed to them his preliminary conception of China's current situation: based in the Northeast, encroaching on the Northwest, and threatening North China; using the contradictions between the Zhizhi and Anhui cliques to seize peripheral terrain, then consolidating his strength, and then using the contradictions between the two sides to defeat them one by one.  , accomplished his feats in one battle and unified China.  During this process, the People's Party will use highly appealing slogans to attract people of insight to complete its leadership of the country.

    He talked about the current world situation and predicted changes in the coming period as well as China's response strategy.  He mentioned China's determination to achieve military strength through economic development and industrial development, and to use force to drive the Japanese out of China and the Asian continent.  All this made these passionate soldiers' eyes widen.  What can make warriors feel more passionate than making achievements?

    As the first step for China to become stronger, they are full of confidence and sense of urgency to win the first battle into Mongolia.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
