    One will make all bones dry.  While the battle against bandits made Zhang Hanqing famous, nearly a hundred comrades from the Guard Brigade were also laid to rest in this hot land.

    The combat effectiveness of the army lies not only in training, but also in a heartfelt sense of mission and honor, all of which have not been found in the Chinese army in the past dynasties.  A good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not hammer nails. The traditional concept makes serving as a soldier and eating the royal rations just a means of making a living.  Naturally, it is a common problem for officers and soldiers to save their lives during war and to make money in peacetime. It is the right thing to drink the blood of soldiers and harass the place.

    Zhang Hanqing wants to fundamentally solve this problem. In addition to letting them understand "why they fight" mentally, he also wants to do everything possible to reduce their worries.  That is, giving them dignity when they are alive, and giving comfort to their families after they are killed.  Modern countries have relatively outstanding preferential treatment for military personnel, such as military seats for ticket purchase and the state's care for the families of fallen soldiers.

    Zhang Hanqing decided to improve the treatment for the wounded and disabled officers and soldiers. He, Wang Yizhe and others held a meeting to properly arrange their funeral arrangements, and used this as the basis for building the army in the future.

    Families are consulted on the disposal of the remains of all fallen soldiers. If they intend to return to their hometown for burial, the Guard Brigade will arrange a special convoy to send the coffin back to their hometown, striving to make a huge impact, and the expenses will be borne by the Guard Brigade; the Guard Brigade also built a cemetery on the grassland.  To commemorate those martyrs who are homeless or unable to return to their hometowns.  As for disabled soldiers, those who can continue to stay in the army will serve as propaganda cadres. Those who are unable to undertake the task will be arranged to guard the mausoleum on the spot, or they will be paid severance pay and disability subsidies and return to their hometowns according to their own wishes.

    Of course, they will not be allowed to go back alone like this. At least four soldiers and a carriage will be sent to escort him back to his hometown to ensure a high profile.  Zhang Hanqing also arranged for thousands of golden medals to be engraved and hundreds of certificates to be printed on a starry night, as the qualifications of the meritorious personnel in this battle and as proof of discharge for disabled soldiers.  Money was tight, so he came up with this method of replacing material things with spiritual rewards.  In his plan and propaganda, in the future, the civil affairs department will provide corresponding subsidies for such disability certificates, but this is not yet available.

    ??For those who have made meritorious services this time, the best ten will be selected and each will be escorted by a squad of officers and soldiers back to their hometown to parade around the streets, and the county and township elders will be arranged to give them a strong performance in order to achieve glory.

    ¡°It cannot be said that this is not a genius idea, at least the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade are happy with it.  Those soldiers who were draped in red and hung with flowers showed their faces in front of the people in their hometown for the first time, and cherished the honors they received; those injured officers and soldiers were no longer ridiculed as waste like other armies but went back to the war.  , the fear of the future has been greatly alleviated; because of the extraordinary courtesy of the families of those fallen soldiers - in the past, they were really wrapped in horse leather or even with no bones left - the Guard Brigade not only made proper arrangements for their funerals, but also  A mass rally was held under the arrangement of the local government. They highly praised their contribution to the country and organized a memorial ceremony. The army also promised not to forget the merits of the martyrs and to provide certain care according to the policy when conditions improve.  Ease their pain of losing their loved ones.

    "The care for the deceased is for the living to see. Zhang Hanqing's actions at least won the praise of the Guard Brigade and his family.  For the first time, ordinary people felt that joining the army was not undesirable. As an honorable profession, the military began to have a certain appeal to many young people who were dissatisfied with today's society.  The most touching thing is that while the resettlement work of the Guard Brigade's casualties has spread across almost the whole province, thousands of young people of school age have nominated themselves to join the Guard Brigade, including many relatives of martyrs.

    After a great victory, it¡¯s time to return home in glory.  In Fengtian City, some people looked forward to it, while others looked at it coldly.  The one who looked forward to it was Yu Feng's arrival, and a wife longed for her husband's return, which was human nature; the one who looked coldly was Feng Delin, the leader of the Guard Brigade, which made him restless.  A twenty-seventh division is already enough to give him a headache, plus a guard brigade capable of fighting, wouldn't it be fatal?

    No, this team must be dismantled!  At the banquet held by the Governor's Mansion and the Provincial Government to honor Zhang Hanqing and others, Feng Delin rarely attended and personally held a cup for Zhang Hanqing. During the banquet, he confided in his heart: "Hanqing's great nephew! I haven't seen you in half a year, and he is even more elegant than before! Guard Brigade  Being able to lead a group of student soldiers to defeat the stubborn bandits was something that my uncle did not expect and it is a great blessing. At a time when the country is employing people, my uncle can guarantee that Hanqing's nephew can take on greater responsibilities in the 27th Division. A real person  The well-deserved brigade commander cannot run away!¡±

    Lao Feng, who had always been at odds with Zhang Zuolin, suddenly offered him an olive branch in a big way. This surprised the Fengtian military and political officials, but Zhang Zuolin frowned.  Old Feng had an ulterior motive in trying his best to let Han Qing join the 27th Division: several important positions in the army were already occupied by old men from Fengjun, and there was really no room for maneuver. If he asked these old men to make way for him, he would be in trouble.  Everyone's heart; Old Feng is afraid that he will make trouble with the Guard Brigade again!

    Sure enough, what Feng Delin said??Another twist: "The student army is doing a great job in fighting, but we old men in the army are going to be embarrassed! It is not easy for the country to train student talents, so it is better to put what we have learned into practice, and leave the fighting to us old men."  Well. Besides, Fengtian¡¯s finances can¡¯t support so many people. I think it¡¯s better to ask the central government to grant a title if there is a chance. The burden on the people of Fengtian is too heavy!¡±

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By the fifth year of the Republic of China, the Beiyang government had organized a total of 16 reorganized divisions, all of which were built according to the German organization with great efforts.  In the early Republic of China when the country's economic capacity was not enough to support more troops, it was basically impossible for other local troops to take advantage of the central government's finances.  Zhang Hanqing's Guard Brigade was built by Lao Zhang with a few dollars saved from his teeth, and the bulk of the arms were obtained from President Yuan's treasury.  Otherwise, with Fengtian's current financial strength, how could it be possible to build such a large-scale Guard Brigade so quickly?

    Of course, Lao Zhang also spent a lot of money: apart from some difficulties with cannons, in order to meet the firepower needs of suppressing bandits, he appropriated a small part of the mountain artillery of the 27th Division Artillery Regiment and equipped it with a basic artillery battery. The other structures are really not good.  Lost to Beiyang's elite 27th Division.  In addition, as the direct line of the Marshal's direct line, the special operations brigade's heavy machine gun establishment is specially approved. According to the standard of an infantry regiment, an attached machine gun company with 6 machines is equipped. The entire 27th Division is only equipped with 26 machines (the other two are cavalry).  regiment), and then used firepower to knock down the arrogance of the Pakistani bandits in the battle against bandits.  For this reason, Lao Zhang also spent money to purchase a new 14-inch Maxim made in the UK and 2 French-made Hutchison.  Not only did Feng Delin remember this, but some people within the 27th Division also secretly slandered him, saying that the commander was partial and used public money to take private jobs.  But it seems normal to Lao Zhang. They are all troops under his command.  (Zhang Zuolin: How can I not be partial to my son?)

    "Please order the central government to ban the title" sounds nice, but in fact everyone knows it is impossible.  The key point is to use the excuse that "the burden on the people of Fengtian is too heavy" to general Zhang Zuolin.  If Lao Zhang doesn't catch the ball, Lao Feng will definitely form an army on his own and also reach out to Fengtian's finance - why can you do it and I can't?  At that time, we would never think about "the burden on the people of Fengtian is too heavy", but "this is only fair!"

    Zhang Hanqing quickly replied: "The student army became famous in one battle. Hanqing believes that there are not too many educated people in our army, but too few. Why can't students join the army? It is everyone's responsibility to protect the family and the country. In ancient times, there was a class leader  We moderns can't lose to the ancients no matter what we do, right?

    As for the financial burden, I, Zhang Hanqing, have told the military governor before, and I can also responsibly tell you here that since the Guard Brigade is not included in the army of the Republic of China, naturally it will not use a penny from Fengtian's finance to supplement military pay!  I just need a place to station, train and raise troops.  "

    Those who heard this were shocked, and Zhang Zuolin was also shocked: "Xiao Liuzi is talking nonsense! I thought he was angry when he said that the Guards Brigade does not need a penny from the finance department. How can such a military order be issued on such an occasion? Just rely on the Guards Brigade.  The military merits of the brigade, after all, the law is nothing more than human relationships, and I can deal with Feng Delin no matter how much he challenges me. But as soon as Feng Delin said this, if Feng Delin does not block the financial aspect, I, Lao Zhang, will write it backwards!"

    Feng Delin also smiled.  He said sarcastically: "No matter how literate the students are, no matter how good they are in fighting, they still need to eat, right? Since Han Qing can understand the suffering of Fengtian, of course my uncle is very pleased." He looked at Zhang Zuolin with pride and said maliciously  Thinking: "It is not difficult for you to spend a little bit of money from Fengtian's finances, but to support an army of 10,000 people, it cannot be done with sporadic financial supplies. What will you do then? If you dare to secretly move the army  Hands and feet, even if you are the governor and governor of the province, I am sure that you will be able to swallow them all!"

    Once the words were spoken, Zhang Hanqing was fearless: "Our student army is not only literate, can fight, but can also cultivate wasteland! The land in northern Liaoning was looted by bandits and was fortunately recovered by the Guard Brigade. Fengtian's finances are insufficient, and we  We will not reach out to embarrass the government, but the Guard Brigade is also a human being and needs to eat. The border areas of Fengji, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia are vast and sparsely populated, and the Guard Brigade will use these ownerless lands to reclaim wasteland to feed this army."

    He has already thought about it and has been planning for this for a long time.  There is no room for development around Fengtian, and the area in northern Liaoning is still considered an "unclaimed land" with great potential.  Moreover, the Japanese are also infiltrating here. By stationing the Guard Brigade here, they can not only cultivate the fields and raise troops, but also prevent them from forming a sphere of influence in the inner Mongolia. They can also break away from the influence of the Feng Clan. They no longer have to look down upon the old Feng Army. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.  have to.

    But you can¡¯t start from scratch. Whether it¡¯s opening up wasteland for farming, selling land according to your own ideas, collecting rent, or collecting local taxes, it won¡¯t be possible in a hurry.  You know, the Guard Brigade with more than 10,000 mouths must chew food at dawn. This has nothing to do with faith, but is a physical instinct.  Doctrine cannot be eaten as food. Zhang Hanqing understands this truth.  The Guards Brigade are all young and strong young men with big appetites. In addition to training, not to mention military expenses, each person consumes no less than half a catty of rice and sorghum a day, not to mention the monthly allowance.  There are also weapon consumption and so on.  Even if you don't train troops, you still need the equipment to open up wasteland.

    He proposed that a buffer period is needed.

    Feng Delin stood up in response: "Okay! I wonder when Han Qing is going to start?"

    Zhang Hanqing said loudly: "From October onwards, the Guard Brigade will not need to spend a penny from Fengtian Province's finances!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com), as well as weapon consumption, etc.  Even if you don't train troops, you still need the equipment to open up wasteland.
