    It seems that Jilin already has a high-level decision on the military and political affairs: there are only two mixed brigades in Jilin Province, and now the general is forced to hand over power. With strong troops suppressing the situation, such a small number of troops can not dare to fight against Fengjun, who has five divisions and eight brigades.  ?  I'm afraid I can collect them even while lying down, so the smug Zhang Zuolin thought.

    Zhang Hanqing, who has always had smooth sailing, also believes that as long as a few senior officers are replaced, these two mixed brigades with artillery battalions that are scarce in the Feng army will become a new boost for him on his long journey.  Isn't it? The Central Committee is angry, the Japanese are angry, and even their generals are wilted. How many false starts can their subordinates make?  Therefore, the old and young marshals did not take it seriously.

    But the evolution of things caught everyone by surprise.

    First, when the Jilin Second Mixed Brigade was incorporated, it encountered a huge backlash: the original brigade commander was Gao Shibi, who was Meng Enyuan¡¯s nephew.  Something happened to Meng, and Gao Shibi was also affected.  Strictly speaking, it was because of the "Kuanchengzi Incident" conflict between Gao Shibi's men and the Japanese that Meng Enyuan's incident happened.  In this sense, Meng should be the one involved.  But it no longer mattered who was who, and Gao Shibi was ordered to leave his post.  If they obey orders, their nephews and uncles will be dismissed one after another, and their status in Jilin will plummet.

    Historically, Gao Shijie was given a dismissal order and handed over the whole brigade to Zhang Zuolin. At that time, Zhang Zuolin gathered the armies of all parties. The generals just changed their faces. They were still the same people and the troops were still the same troops, but they were just objects of loyalty.  Just changed.  As soon as there is any trouble, everyone still has the opportunity to change their family, so they hunker down under the pressure.

    At this time and space, Zhang Zuolin borrowed many of Zhang Hanqing's methods of controlling the army. All the newly recruited armies were reorganized beyond recognition, but soon they all left Zhang Zuolin's chrome mark.  Firstly, the original generals no longer have the opportunity to lead the original troops, and secondly, with the shrinking of power, non-direct lineage generals are fading away from the top ranks.  Before long, there will be no chance of a comeback.  Xu Lanzhou from Heilongjiang is a role model. He is now exiled to Shaanxi to fight against the Jingguo Army. After the Jingguo Army ended, he failed to come back.  Therefore, Gao Shibi decided to resist the order to dismiss him out of fear for the future, and his mood is understandable.

    This force was originally set up to contain the Jilin Mixed Brigade arranged by the Central Committee. It was considered a team started by Meng Enyuan, so it was the target of Lao Meng's key support.  It can be said that, except for the immovable Jilin Mixed Brigade, all Jilin's financial investment in military affairs is spent on this army.  Meng Enyuan and Gao Shibi have been running Jilin for twelve years. Everyone in this army belongs to him. Unless there is a big purge, Meng Enyuan's influence cannot be eliminated.  However, if a systematic clean-up is not carried out, the existence of this army will not only not be a blessing, but will also be a nuisance once the situation changes.

    Jilin Governor Bao Guiqing was nominally the chief officer of this army, but he could not command it at all.  After the political situation changed, Gao Shibi lived and ate in the army. He followed orders but not propaganda, and firmly controlled the army.

    Bao Guiqing deeply felt the great responsibility. Although he did not have much strength, he was still very energetic and tried his best to compete with Gao Shibi.  On the one hand, he asked this force to be stationed in various places, otherwise the logistics supply would be stopped; on the other hand, he asked Zhang Zuolin to send heavy troops to various places in Jilin to prevent changes.

    ??To be honest, divide and conquer to defeat each one, and to seize money, food, ordnance, is to hold down the neck. These two tactics have been tried and tested by Lao Zhang. Bao Guiqing saw it and wanted to imitate him.  If it were another team, and Lao Bao had occupied the governor's army, there would be great hope of success under the pressure of the soldiers.

    But who is Master Gao?  That was Meng Enyuan's close nephew, a close confidant. Otherwise, why would Gao Shibi be the brigade commander of the second mixed brigade?  After Lao Meng stepped down, Gao Shibi was unwilling to be manipulated by Zhang Zuolin - with Lao Zhang's methods, he would be beaten to the end sooner or later.  Why did Lao Meng step down?  Because it may lead to chaos in Jilin.  If chaos breaks out under Lao Zhang's command, is there any chance of forcing the Central Committee to let Lao Meng come back to power to quell the chaos?  You must know that Meng Enyuan's influence in Jilin can definitely be described as "Tu Emperor".

    The idea of ??a soldier is simple, but it is a big taboo.  In peacetime, your superiors can't command your subordinates. How can you still expect to help you at critical moments?  Bao Guiqing then exercised his military governor's order and ordered Gao Shizhi to be relieved of his post as brigade commander, and ordered his three infantry regiments to "transfer to the garrison within a certain period of time, and those who violate the rules will be punished as rebels"!

    Seeing Bao Guiqing's toughness against toughness, Gao Shijiang became angry. Not only did he refuse to obey the order, he also encouraged several other regiment leaders to resolutely restrain it and raised troops to back it up. He said: "The old governor was forced to hand over power. Zhang Zuolin,  Bao Guiqing and his gang are going to attack us again. The mixed brigade was originally in a group. If it is broken up, it will be easily broken by each one. Commander Xu Lanzhou is an example. Now there is no place to stand, and they are driven to Shaanxi to suppress bandits. We and  Zhang Zuolin has always been at odds. If he loses military power, he will end up worse than Xu LanWorse than anything!  As long as we form a tightrope, Bao Guiqing and the others will not dare to mess around, otherwise Jilin will be corrupted and the only one who can clean up the mess is the old warlord.  If everything fails, the worst case scenario is picking up a gun and going to the mountains to become a thief!  Didn¡¯t Zhang Zuolin start out as a bandit?  The Northeast is so big, I can¡¯t believe there is no place for me, Pei!  "

    He has the confidence to say this. For many years, he has had close contacts with Lu Yonggui, a bandit in Jilin.  In the early days of the Republic of China, there was nothing unusual about a family of officials and bandits in the Northeast. Like the current and previous governors, most of them had the experience of making beards.

    Not to mention, his instigation really attracted a lot of people.  The vast majority of the Northeastern Army were recruited by bandits. Their banditry has not changed over the years, and they have little psychological resistance to being bandits. At worst, they will just be recruited again.  Besides, after the reorganization of Fengjun, the appearance of Fengtian people was completely new, but for the veterans, they were afraid of being marginalized.

    Zhang Zuolin was very angry about Gao Shixiu's toughness, and it was not just as simple as disobeying orders.  The equipment of Jilin's Second Mixed Brigade is the best in the Northeast. The three infantry regiments are all equipped with German-made 79 rifles (7.9mm Mauser series rifles). The regiments are configured strictly according to the Beiyang Army's "Army Peacetime Establishment Regulations"  , each infantry regiment has one machine gun company.  While other mixed brigades are equipped with cavalry battalions, this army is organized into a cavalry regiment.  The most eye-catching thing is the fully staffed artillery battalion, which has 18 German-style Krupp 75mm mountain guns as standard equipment.

    Due to the rapid expansion of Fengjun, the artillery configuration at this time was very unsatisfactory.  Except for the three Beiyang standard armies, the 27th Division, the 28th Division, and the 29th Division, each of which has an artillery regiment and no shortage of personnel, the Guards Division, the 1st Division, the 16th Division, etc. initially had no artillery or very little equipment, up to a company.  level troops.  Only later, after Zhang Hanqing managed to obtain 30 mountain artillery pieces from the "Zongshe Party", he reorganized and armed two battalions of artillery and assigned them to the Guard Division and the First Division respectively.  In addition, the surrendered Yijun Song Jiuling Department was only equipped with two companies of mountain artillery. As for the newly formed 16th Division and 7 Infantry Brigades, they were purely "infantry".

    The most important thing is that this small army is already the last obstacle in Lao Zhang's way to dominate the Northeast.  Regardless of whether it is for the sake of appearance or face, it must be solved completely.

    Zhang Zuolin has experienced the baptism of the battlefield and is well aware of the power of artillery in modern warfare. Without artillery, the army can only be regarded as a garrison or a garrison. If it cannot bear the heavy task of attacking fortifications, it cannot be regarded as a field force.  Therefore, special emphasis is placed on the artillery battalions of the two mixed brigades in Jilin.

    There was also news from the Feng Intelligence Bureau that Zhang Zuolin didn't care about Gao Shijie's clamor of "turning the grass into a bandit": As long as you leave the cannon to me, it's none of my business that you become a pirate?  There is no shortage of troops now, only equipment.  He sent three telegrams a day to inform the Central Committee of the changes in Jilin, and implored the Central Committee: "Brigade Gao is Meng Shuai's pro-army, and Meng Enyuan must settle the brigade." He also made it clear: "Brigadier Gao and below have committed crimes, and soldiers have violated the ban."  , he must be relieved of his duties.¡±

    Good guy, now Meng Enyuan is forced to go to war: Gao Shizong is your man, you can do whatever you want!  What you do is up to you, but his position as brigade commander has been revoked!  Once the telegram to the Central Committee came out, Meng Enyuan would not be able to do anything without his help.

    If things deteriorate, Meng Enyuan is undoubtedly responsible, and Lao Zhang can clear out Meng Enyuan's forces in Jilin with great fanfare; if Meng Enyuan "successfully" reins in his subordinates, the military reorganization will be successful, and his military power in Jilin will also be cleared, and  He also has to face the betrayal of his former subordinates: Since the boss can't protect him, why not change the family?

    After all, the family has a great business, and Meng Enyuan doesn¡¯t want to fall in love with the noble scholar.  How could Mr. Gao, a very smart and capable person, make such a stupid move?  No one can tolerate threatening Shangguan like this!  In order to fear that things would get worse, Meng Enyuan went to the headquarters of the Huncheng Brigade in person and scolded Gao Shibi: "Wuru, you are so smart and confused for a moment! If you do this, where will you put me? Where will you put the officers and men of the Huncheng Brigade! My relationship with Zhang Zuolin  Grudges are just personal grievances, and if you do this, you just give people an excuse. How should we end it now?!"

    Since the first year of junior high school was done, Gao Shiwen didn¡¯t think about the fifteenth year.  He said to his old boss and uncle Meng Enyuan: "There is no need to persuade the governor any more. The situation has become like this. There is no turning back. I have no way out. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I, the high priest, have nothing to say. Wan  Once defeated, I will lead my brothers to occupy the mountain and become the king!"

    Meng Enyuan returned in vain, and Zhang Zuolin was greatly disappointed.  Even though he was reluctant to lose both sides, he had to mobilize his troops and generals to suppress Gao Jun as much as possible.  This is not only a matter of prestige, but also involves the long-term stability of the Northeast.  The Feng Dynasty rose up so fast that it gained control of the Northeast without experiencing any major battles. It was time for a serious battle to show the strength of the military, otherwise it would be difficult to protect some people.  There are strange thoughts in my heart.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
