    Bao Guiqing is also one of Duan Qirui's associates and a veteran of the Northeast.  Moreover, Zhang Zuolin's first wife, Zhao's eldest daughter Zhang Shoufang (also known as Guanying, Zhang Hanqing's sister), who was born in 1898, is about to marry his son Bao Yucai. With this relationship, it is estimated that this role is acceptable to all parties.  When the dispute between the government and the Yuan came to a head, both sides showed a certain degree of restraint on the incident outside the customs. In addition, the candidate for the governor was not Zhang Zuolin, so the Beijing government, which did not want to be troubled, quickly agreed.  With Zhang Zuolin's recommendation, Bao Guiqing was officially announced as the governor and governor of Heilongjiang.

    Xu Lanzhou, who was threatened by the British and Pakistanis and severely reprimanded by the Central Committee, was also disheartened and did not resist Bao Guiqing's arrival.  Although he compares himself to Zhang Zuolin in his heart, he does not have the latter's strength.  In addition, the name is not correct, and there is no way to do anything anymore.

    Considering that Xu Lanzhou was a dangerous figure making trouble in Jiang Province's military circles and had a large number of troops under his command, Bao Guiqing, who had just arrived, was afraid that he would not be able to contain him and would cause chaos, so he called Duan Qirui many times to seek countermeasures.  Duan Qirui also believed that although Bao Guiqing was a relative of Zhang Zuolin, he was loyal to him. If he could not control the situation, it would inevitably affect the authority of the central government, so he deliberately transferred Xu Lanzhou to Zhang Zuolin in order to exercise restraint.

    However, Zhang Zuolin replied hypocritically that he was only concerned about the peace of the Northeast for the sake of the peace of the Northeast. Since he was on good terms with Bao and Xu, if he merged with Xu Lanzhou, firstly, it would greatly damage the loyalty of his friends, and secondly, it would cause people to form  I had the impression that Zhang Zuolin came here for the benefit of power expansion, and refused to accept his resignation.

    Besides Zhang Zuolin, who else can restrain an elephant like Xu Lanzhou?  And if Xu is not allowed to completely leave his base in the Black Province, Bao Guiqing, the military governor, will be in name only.  So after many negotiations between the two sides, Duan Qirui still pretended to be in the hands of the central government and strictly ordered Xu Lanzhou and his 5 cavalry battalions and 3 infantry battalions from the 1st Division to "immediately transfer to Fengtian and serve under Zhang Zuolin!"  "

    Xu Lanzhou had no choice but to obey.

    Seeing Xu Lanzhou, the first thing Zhang Zuolin said was: "I'm sorry, brother, for not being able to help him because my people are busy dealing with the 28th Division and can't spare any time. Please forgive me."

    Xu Lanzhou was angry, but seeing Zhang Zuolin's sincere expression, he couldn't say anything else.  Yes, it was the Central Committee member's idea to take away his military power. Zhang Zuolin refused several times and tried to rectify it, but he was unable to make a comeback. Who should blame him?  Moreover, the discord between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin is well known in the military and political circles of the three eastern provinces, and his pressure must be understood.

    So Xu Lanzhou could only say that when he came to Feng Province, he was in a sparse place and needed Zhang Zuolin to raise and arrange all kinds of supplies and military pay.

    Zhang Zuolin was already prepared and agreed repeatedly.  He called Zhang Hanqing and said to his face: "Master Xu is my eldest brother. He will temporarily settle down in Feng Province. You must treat him well like you serve your uncle. Give him food if he wants it, and pay him if he wants it. In a word  , if the 27th Division has food to eat, the 1st Division must have food to drink. You will be responsible for the specific matters. If you have any difficulties, you can report to me directly."

    Such words and how to deal with them have been carefully rehearsed before Xu Lanzhou arrived, and Zhang Hanqing also vowed to go all out to take good care of Xu's life in Feng Province.  He also called the quartermaster of the Guards Brigade on the spot and asked him to fully cooperate with the Xu Department's logistics work.

    The old marshal and the young marshal were both so polite, and Xu Lanzhou¡¯s last trace of resentment disappeared without a trace.  According to Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, in order to facilitate supplies, Xu Lanzhou's troops were stationed in Qian Dingxiang Tun outside Fengtian West City, which was very close to Dafang Shitun, the training base of the Guard Brigade.  This was approved by Xu Lanzhou.

    The interaction between the two parties was good at the beginning, and Zhang Hanqing lived up to his promise and the supplies were delivered on time.  But gradually, some gossip slowly spread to Zhang Zuolin, saying that Xu's garrison often bullied the city, and the people in Fengtian provincial capital complained a lot, saying that it is rare for a commander to be benevolent and righteous, and a friend in need is a friend indeed.  But Xu Bu couldn't support the wall with mud and didn't know how to restrain himself.

    Zhang Zuolin was furious when he heard this. At a military and political meeting, he denounced Zhang Hanqing for his ineffectiveness in doing things and causing Xu's soldiers to be wronged, so he acted to disturb the people.

    These actions were, of course, intentional.  In front of everyone, Xu Lanzhou had to express his condolences to let the younger generation be implicated.  He said that his troops had been idle for a long time, which led to this move, and said that they would be strictly controlled.

    Zhang Hanqing chased the snake and followed him, wanting to atone for his sins, saying that the Guard Brigade training base was there, and Xu's troops could be trained in installments.  He also stated that in order to improve the military quality of its officers, the second phase of Fengtian Lecture Hall can reserve some places for them, and the newly added officer training group of the Guard Brigade can also conduct short-term training for middle and lower-level officers to maintain combat effectiveness.  His enthusiasm, enthusiasm and enthusiasm made it difficult for Xu Lanzhou to refuse the kindness of this young man.

    In this way, as batches of troops were mobilizedTransfers came and went, and some officers were sent out for rotation training. Xu Lanzhou gradually found that he had lost control of this unit: the battalion commanders often did not know where their subordinate companies were, and he could only have the opportunity to meet with him every ten days and a half.  Go to your familiar subordinates.  On the contrary, the officer training group of Zhang Hanqing's Guard Brigade has successively placed many officers in the positions of battalion and company commanders at all levels, euphemistically calling them "trainee consultants."

    These consultants were really good at it. Not only did they quickly get along with the officers and soldiers, but they also had impressive abilities in training and grasping ideological dynamics. This once again frustrated him: after being transferred to Fengtian, Xu Lanzhou lost himself.  The base area has been operating for many years, and all the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the troops are provided by Fengjun.  As the saying goes, those who take advantage of others are short-handed and those who eat others are soft-spoken. The trend of centrifugal force among subordinates has been formed.  Regardless of morality or power, he is no longer Zhang Zuolin's opponent.  How could I still say: "Your son plotted against me and made me into a mere commander?" Once he said this, it was just more laughter.

    Of course, the "trainee consultants" were all selected by the Political Department of the Guard Brigade, and their purpose was to attack the First Division - by the way, the Zhang family and his son had been staring at this piece of meat for a long time.

    The Guards Brigade can form a strong combat effectiveness in a short period of time and contributes a lot to political work. Therefore, it is quite powerful in disintegrating and dividing the officers and soldiers of the First Division, but it is also silent.  Ordinary officers and soldiers feel the unique management style of the Guard Brigade, especially the integration of officers and soldiers, treating soldiers as human beings and being respected, which is very popular among lower-level officers and soldiers.

    As for the mid-level and senior commanders, Zhang and his son used a two-pronged approach: bribery and evasion.

    Being an official is to make money.  The battalion commanders of Xu's eight battalions received many benefits, and Xu Lanzhou himself could not protect himself, so they were already worried about being in Xu camp.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of frequent "training" at the martial arts hall, it is inevitable that there will be ineffective control of the troops.  More importantly, Zhang Hanqing adopted a staff system that completely subverted the common sense in the military circles of the Republic of China, which to a large extent eliminated the chief officer - if it was indeed useless.

    During the Beiyang Army era, the status of the chief of staff was not high.  Taking divisions in the Republic of China as an example, division commanders generally have the rank of lieutenant general and brigade commanders have the rank of major general, but division chiefs of staff usually only have the rank of colonel.  At this time, the division chief of staff was merely the division commander's staff rather than the core of the operations department.

    But Zhang Hanqing did the opposite and vigorously promoted the promotion of the chief of staff's status.  For example, after Zhang Zuoxiang became the chief of staff of the Military Governor's Office, he changed from the junior Sun Liechen and Tang Yulin to the same level.  In the Guard Brigade, not only are they made to have the same role as the adjutant commanders at all levels, but they also exercise combat power when the chief officer is absent.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????  In the Beiyang Army, deputy positions at all levels do not exist.  If his approach is interpreted from a positive perspective, it is a guarantee for the army's command system; but on the other hand, it is entirely possible to promote some obedient lower-level officers to contain the chief officers - they can be promoted and replaced by  Opportunity, no one wants to be at the bottom.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way and soon Xu Lanzhou became Zhang Zuolin's "high-level prisoner".  Someone else's wedding dress has already been made, so why bother with this fig leaf?  Xu Lanzhou simply stated that he had given up his jurisdiction over the army, and solemnly recommended Zhang Hanqing to Zhang Zuolin: "Hanqing is young and promising, and he can be proud of his nephews. I should let him go. I am also very happy to hand over my subordinates to Hanqing."  rest assured."

    Zhang Zuolin half-truthfully replied: "How can a half-grown child know how to lead an army? If you beat him as an uncle, you are protecting him."

    Zhang Hanqing acted innocently: "Uncle Xu wants to support me wholeheartedly, do it and cherish it."

    However, he did not hesitate to start: Xu's five cavalry battalions were organized into two cavalry regiments together with the cavalry battalions directly under the Guards Brigade; the three infantry battalions were also merged into the three regiments of the Guards Brigade.  , and a battalion drawn from each of the three regiments formed an artillery regiment with the artillery battalion.  In this way, there is no obstacle to the formal expansion of the Guards Brigade to the division level: the standard structure of four infantry regiments, engineers, and baggage corps have long been established, and now the cavalry regiment and artillery regiment have also emerged.

    Zhang Hanqing was promoted to the acting division commander of the Guard Division, and everyone was promoted one level higher: Han Linchun was the acting deputy division commander, Guo Songling was the acting division chief of staff, Wang Yizhe was the acting division director of political department and leader of the teaching team, Ji Yiqiao was the acting division commander.  As the agent training director¡ª¡ªit's been less than a month since the last promotion.

    The reason why they are all agents is because the Central Committee has not approved this force yet, but so what?

    The Guard Brigade has always had no shortage of cadres, and it has its own set of methods for forming, and the same applies to changing it into a Guard Division.  The officers and soldiers of the Xu Department who have been accustomed to being dispatched by the Guards Brigade officers are not unfamiliar with the new commanders and the new organizational structure. Anyway, "if you have breasts, you are a mother." This is something that the bosses all agree on. What are you going to do?  Besides, the Guard Division is also pretty good.

    Since most of the officers of the Xu Department were originally sent to "study and train" under various names, the commanders of each battalion and company of the newly established army were all people assigned by the Guard Brigade. In a word, Xu Lanzhou's troops were completely merged.  Faced with this situation, Xu Lanzhou couldn't help but sigh: "I hunt geese all day long, but the geese peck me blind!"

    Thus, Zhang Zuolin successfully kicked off the first stumbling block to seizing power in Jiang Province.  Of course, Xu Lanzhou's title as a senior advisor to the Fengtian Governor's Mansion cannot be shortened.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)"Learning and training" resulted in the commanders of each battalion and company of the newly established army being people assigned by the Guard Brigade.
