    There was a craze for emperors and generals inside the pass, but Zhang Zuolin outside the pass was ambitious and started a wave of self-improvement.  Zhang Hanqing, who was familiar with the situation, actively suggested that Zhang Zuolin seize the opportunity to cling to Fengtian's power and prepare for future radical changes.  To achieve this goal, both the military and the government must carry out a series of reforms: the military cannot be relaxed, and the administration must still improve.

    Although Zhang Zuolin had not supervised in name before, he still held great power.  The chaos within the customs made Fengtian a paradise on earth. No one paid attention to him, the leader of the bandits who lived in a corner, but it also gave him the opportunity to realize his dream of becoming powerful in an independent kingdom.

    Once the power is in hand, orders will be carried out.  Suffering from the chaos and inability to govern the provincial capital, if Fengtian remains the same under his rule, how can he establish his prestige and not be a leader who "changes the king's flag at the top of the city"?  He already felt that he could not achieve hegemony by just relying on the Green Forest brothers to run amok.  It is necessary to recruit talents, Internet literati, to provide him with suggestions.

    Although Zhang Hanqing has no personal experience in government, he also understands the style and habits of warlords from history. In order to solve the current common problems of Zhang Zuolin's officers, he came up with two emergency countermeasures:

    1. Separation of military and political affairs;

    2. Separation of military and police.

    He explained: "Since the late Qing Dynasty, military interference in government, chaos in government, and even military rule have emerged one after another. For example, the Hunan Army, the Huai Army, and the current president and emperor in Beijing (Yuan Shikai) all entered government with the command of soldiers, that is,  The same is true for my father. Why? Wealth (money bag) gives birth to death (gun barrel), killing brings seal (pen barrel), and seal brings birth to the body.

    Having soldiers means strength, which means territory is needed, and the one who is superior is a means of stability. That means it needs to win over, and its requirements must be met, which can easily lead to dominance.  My father was transferred from General Fengtian to General Supervisor and Inspector-General, with Feng Delin as his subordinate, but he had always been helpless towards him.  Why?  Because he had military power and territory, his father could not control him at all.  Even if his father drives away Feng Delin, it is inevitable that there will not be another Feng Delin-like figure under his command.

    After the separation of the military and the government, the local governments had no troops and power, and of course they did not dare to compete with the central government, so the central government ordered the government to go out.  Soldiers have no territory and cannot supply their own supplies. However, the baggage and military pay are controlled centrally, and the problem of overcrowding troops can be eliminated.  If the general has no worries, he can concentrate on fighting. When he has something to do, he can fight and when he has nothing to do, he can train his troops. Then the army's combat effectiveness can gradually increase.

    As for the separation of the military and the police, it is even more imperative: the military style emphasizes that orders must be followed, but it is considered rude to govern the people. What's more, extortion is a way to make money.  If things go on like this, if the soldiers have a bandit spirit and can easily cause harm to one party, then the military strength will be weakened; if the people are angry and dissatisfied, it will not contribute to stability.  In Beijing, I saw that the Ministry of Internal Affairs exclusively took charge of the police, and the results were good. It also obtained a batch of police equipment from Chief Zhu, and we can start to build our own police department in the provincial capital.

    After soldiers no longer have the responsibility of public security, they can also stop their desire to interfere in local civil affairs.  If the military, police, and government are organized into separate systems, we can prevent military dictatorship.  The improvement of father's prestige and popularity can also be expected soon.  "

    Zhang Zuolin was overjoyed and said with emotion: "There is no better way to know a father than a son. Little Liuzi knows my heart."

    However, Zhang Hanqing also gave him some warning in advance: "Uncle Tang is now also the captain of the provincial secret agent. This separation of the military and police may affect his interests."

    Zhang Zuolin smiled and remained silent, but Zhang Hanqing knew that this was his father's disapproving attitude.

    Tang Yulin was the commander of the 53rd Brigade of the 27th Division at the time, and together with Sun Liechen, he was Zhang Zuolin's right-hand man.  He is also the commander of the secret agent team in the provincial capital. He is actually the head of the intelligence system. He is the second most powerful person in Fengtian after Zhang Zuolin.  Zhang Hanqing has scruples about him because his predecessor was not taken seriously by this man.

    And reform has always touched other people¡¯s cheese.  Looking through the ages, there are few things that have not been accomplished without resorting to thunderbolt means.  Zhang Zuolin believed that these were old men who had been with him for a long time and that he could handle them appropriately, so he ignored Zhang Hanqing's reminder.

    In terms of military reorganization, Zhang Hanqing suggested improving the status and power of the chief of staff.

    The establishment of the Army of the Republic of China followed the example of Germany. Each division had a chief of staff with the professional title of colonel. The divisional staff was divided into first-class (lieutenant colonel), second-class (major), and third-class (captain). Division infantry brigades and below did not have staff establishments, but  In actual operations, the positions of first, second, and third staff officers are often assigned to brigade operations.  According to the system of one division, two brigades and four regiments, the chief of staff has the same rank as the regiment commander and is completely the division commander's staff.  If this position had not been related to the military, he might not even be as good as the deputy chief. After all, the deputy chief was still the chief's confidant.

    Both Japan and China learned from Germany. With the rigor of the Germans and the completeness of the staff system, the chief officer can fully integrate the achievements of the staff members to make strategic and tactical decisions; Japan is a country where execution is very good, so the chief of staff is  Function only as a staff member?'s identity, chief of staff's identity alone cannot keep him on the stage.

    This is also Yang Yuting¡¯s regret.  The foundation of the Republic of China was to use force to control civil society. Without military power, great things could not be accomplished.

    Now, as a major general, the young Zhang Hanqing suggested that Zhang Zuolin improve his status. Of course, he got what he asked for, and thus for the first time he felt "sympathy" for the major general.  In the end, due to the military system, he was unable to advance to the rank of colonel, but his status in the army was also greatly affected. Zhang Hanqing understood this.

    At least he had no objections to the "separation of military and police" proposed by Zhang Hanqing. Together with Sun Liechen, who had always followed Zhang Zuolin's lead, he also agreed. Zhang Hanqing's first move in Fengtian's reform was directed at Tang Yulin.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
