    Even Ji Jinchun didn't agree with Zhang Hanqing's approach. He said sincerely: "Young Marshal, Gao Shibi is ruthless and ambitious. He is asking for a lot of money when I am besieging the city on three sides. It is just to buy time for him to prepare for defense. We will wait for him.  Sincerity is just showing charm to the blind, I think it is of no use."

    It was Zhang Hanqing¡¯s turn to laugh.  He looked at the unjust Zhang Jinghui, the disapproving Wu Junsheng, and the sincere Ji Jinchun, and said with a smile: "How could I not know the story of throwing firewood to put out fires? Our army's slow action has given Gao Jun an opportunity, and it is not advisable to attack Changchun."  In this case, it doesn't matter if you give him time to strengthen his defense. Gao Shibi's reliance is nothing more than thinking that we are worried about the lives of the people in the provincial capital of Changchun and do not dare to fight. In addition, he also has a strong support, that is Hu  Bandit. If the two of them join forces, it will be our biggest nightmare. He is playing delay with me, and I am also hoping to delay for a while. I have called back and forth several times, and it is estimated that by this time, Lu Yonggui¡¯s troops have already  Is it almost resolved?"

    Dare to love, the young man deliberately shows that the enemy is weak, it is another action.

    Everyone was shocked!

    Wu Junsheng has been suppressing bandits in the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang for many years. He knows well that the mountains and forests outside the Guanhai Pass are deep and dense, and it is also a place where various forces such as the former Qing Dynasty, White Russians, Japanese, and Koreans are mixed. To eliminate a group of bandits, it requires planning, actions and  Cooperation is so important. It can be said that the right time, right place, and people are indispensable.  Lu Yonggui is not so much a bandit as he is a local bully in southern Jilin.  He was backed by the Japanese, commanded a force said to be tens of thousands, and his men were all habitual criminals who had traveled over mountains and ridges, and had beards who were skilled in marksmanship.  They killed people like crazy, and the former Qing government failed to make a dent in several encirclement and suppression campaigns. Instead, the suppression campaign got bigger and bigger.  In terms of combat effectiveness alone, the average local army is really no match for it.

    This is also what Gao Shibi relies on.  He started an uprising in Changchun, and Lu Yonggui responded in the southeast, causing chaos throughout Jilin.  If there is any disturbance at this time, the situation will change again.  If Zhang Hanqing wants to break Gao Shibi's fighting spirit, the bandits must be eliminated. Moreover, if he wants to carry out land reform in the entire Northeast, these bandits must be eliminated first.  Otherwise, it is difficult to imagine that an unarmed working group can effectively operate in a place where bandits gather.  More importantly, there is no royal land in the world.  There cannot be another overlord on the Zhang family's territory!

    The unhappy cooperation with the old faction of the Feng faction made him urgently need to carve out his own world. At this time, the guard division he relied on for the Great Wall was reconsidered and the target was the Lu Yonggui gang.  The Guards Division started out by suppressing bandits, but it was on the grassland at that time.  In the Northeast, there are still many things to do in the future, and it is also necessary to be familiar with the white mountains and black waters, so it will suppress bandits again.

    Napoleon's comments after the Battle of the Pyramids in Egypt are world-famous: "Two Mamluks can definitely defeat three French soldiers, one hundred French soldiers and one hundred Mamluk soldiers are evenly matched; three hundred French soldiers can defeat most of them."  Three hundred Mamluks, and a thousand French soldiers can always defeat fifteen hundred Mamluks.¡±

    The combat literacy of soldiers cannot be formed in a day or two. The Guards Division has a strong desire to fight and determination to win. This is its strength, but its weaknesses are also obvious: it has not been established for a long time, and its individual combat capabilities may not be as good as many.  bandit.  But as a well-trained team, as long as the techniques and tactics are right, it is very possible to win.

    After two days of trekking, the Guards Division arrived at the southern junction of Jilin and Fengtian. The forwards fought against the Hu bandits in the Tonghua area on the banks of the Hunjiang River and at the foot of Longgang Mountain.  In the early stages, the battle was slightly unfavorable.

    The bandits have lived in the local area for many years and are familiar with the geography and culture. Moreover, the bandits all use horses, which fully exploits the advantages of guerrilla warfare. They can hit and run away, and they can leave without leaving a trace. This has become their world here.  However, because the Guard Division was not familiar with this combat mode, it suffered several small losses - the battles with the Babuzabu bandits were all on the vast prairie, with an unobstructed view, and the battles relied on courage and equipment.

    The advantages of the equipment here are completely useless: mountain cannons are not brought at all because they are not easy to carry and do not require siege of cities and territories.  The Guards Division has courage, but when faced with the enemy's quickness of horse, shooting and changing places, and sudden harassment and surprise attacks, no matter how courageous they are, they cannot be effective in combat, and instead become filled with resentment and anger.  .

    Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing met someone when he was in Tianjin, which made rapid progress in suppressing bandits.  This man is famous in history, but his name is notoriety, infamy, and infamy.

    This person is from Zhang Hanqing¡¯s family, and his name is Zhang Zongchang.  But he is from Shandong and has nothing to do with Zhang Hanqing.

    It was not Zhang Zongchang who Zhang Hanqing was looking for, but the young marshal he was looking for first.  In view of Zhang Zongchang¡¯s poor performance in history, Zhang Hanqing would not?His.

    Zhang Zongchang was born in a poor family, and his mother, Zhu, was considered a figure in the female stream when she was young.  She was born tall, strong and strong, and was nicknamed "Big Foot". She was a well-known "female bachelor" in the local area. She once traveled to Guandong alone, traveled to three passes and six docks, and was well-informed. Later, when she returned to her hometown, she called herself "Huang Erxian Aunt"  "Possessed her, she began to practice witchcraft, and she was known as the witch from then on.  After Zhang Zongchang was born, his family was still very poor. When he was a boy, Zhang Zongchang worked with the bandit leader to earn a living with the tacit approval of his mother Zhu Wu.  When he was sixteen years old, the Russian Empire invaded the Northeast and was building the Middle East Railway. With the strong support of his mother, Zhang Zongchang and a group of fellow villagers traveled to Guandong to build roads, which gained him a lot of knowledge.  He became a bandit for a time and later fled to Vladivostok.

    Later, when the railway was not repaired, Zhang Zongchang returned to his hometown and continued to be a bandit, and even raised a group of people.  After the Wuchang Uprising of 1911, he surrendered to Hu Ying, the commander-in-chief of the Shandong People's Army. He then went to Shanghai and served as the commander of the Independent Cavalry Regiment of the Liberation Army.  In 1912, he served as commander of the third cavalry regiment of the third division of Jiangsu Province and commander of the fifth brigade.  In July 1913, he joined Feng Guozhang and served successively as supervisor of the Jiangsu Army Officer Education Corps, deputy chief of the Jiangsu General Office, and division commander of the Jiangsu Third Division.  When the whole country rebelled against Yuan, he was sent to Xuzhou to defend Yuan Shikai's southward Beiyang army, but he defected on the front line and surrendered to Feng Guozhang, the Beiyang general and his old employer. From then on, he became a member of the Zhili clique.  After Feng Guozhang became president, he relied heavily on him and appointed him as the Attach¨¦ to the Presidential Office. This shows the extraordinary level of trust.

    On the surface, Zhang Zongchang is enjoying a smooth life, but privately, he is worried about his future.

    Premier Duan disliked him, the second brother of the president, more and more. When the dispute between the government and the Yuan came to a climax, President Feng had already fled Beijing and headed south to his old territory. Only being blocked in Bengbu prevented him from finally making the trip.  At this time, Anhui politicians had established the "Anfu Club" to plan a new presidential election.  According to the situation, Feng Guozhang's hope of continuing to be elected is basically zero - what will he do then?

    Zhang Zongchang has traveled north and south for many years and has seen countless storms. It is his advantage to make friends to prepare for rainy days.  Once the Anhui clique gains power, it has no foundation in the Zhili clique, and is afraid that it will have no place in the future.  It happened that Fengtian Marshal Zhang Hanqing was providing disaster relief in Tianjin. As a rising star in the political arena of the Republic of China, Zhang Zongchang also had a keen eye for people and used him as a stepping stone to get closer to the Fengtian faction.

    But Zhang Hanqing knew Zhang Zongchang in history. No matter whether he was a new or old school, he would not tolerate a person like this joining. In his mind, the future military and political cadres of the People's Party must not allow Zhang Zongchang to have such ambitions.  Entrepreneurs, speculators and scoundrels mingled in.  Therefore, Zhang Hanqing politely rejected Zhang Zongchang's olive branch.

    However, the unfavorable situation of annihilating Lu Yonggui reminded Zhang Hanqing that three years later in the official history, he still relied on him to defeat the Hu bandit army with only one military police battalion.  Of course, after Zhang Zuolin's rule in the Northeast, the living environment of bandits was greatly restricted. Lu Yonggui didn't have many followers left at that time, so he had this opportunity.

    At that time, he relied on his face.

    Yes.  Because many of Lu Yonggui's leaders were fellow villagers who broke into Guandong with Zhang Zongchang. With this relationship, it was originally a battle with great disparity in power, but Zhang Zongchang was able to organize the Hu bandits into three regiments without losing any blood.

    Now, the love of incense is still there. While Zhang Hanqing is waiting for Meng Enyuan, he also sends someone to invite Zhang Zongchang to ask him to contribute to Fengxi.  Today, Zhang Hanqing is far more famous than a year ago; and Zhang Zongchang is once again faced with a life choice: Feng Guozhang knew that there was no hope of being elected, so he resigned by phone on August 13, 1918.

    If the president leaves office, the next president will never use him as chief of guard again.  Where should I go?

    It¡¯s time to find a way out for yourself.  So Zhang Zongchang received Zhang Hanqing's overtures and immediately rushed to Jilin without stopping.  After accepting Zhang Hanqing's arrangement, he immediately devoted himself to the just cause of suppressing bandits with full enthusiasm.

    ??Don¡¯t say it, snakes have their own paths, rats have their own paths.  The Hu bandits who had a great fight with the Guard Division were very enthusiastic about Zhang Zongchang's arrival. Zhang Zongchang also successfully persuaded many dissatisfied bandits with his smooth tongue.

    The general idea is that Zhang Zuolin quickly and easily captured Jilin and integrated the resources of the three eastern provinces into one, more than doubling his strength.  Seeing that the Northeast is already under the control of Zhang Zuolin, if you continue to fight against him, you will lose sooner or later. Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity now to recruit an officer to clear your name and come ashore early, and maybe get an official position. Isn't it a hundred times better than being a bandit?  They have no qualms about "being good" from the bottom of their hearts. Didn't the famous Marshal Zhang Zuolin also have a beard?

    Of course, Zhang Hanqing also made some conditions in order to eliminate the banditry as soon as possible.  Like the distribution of grain and land, it also gave something to look forward to. Those bandits who went up the mountain because of poverty at least knew that they had a way to retreat, and when they resisted, they no longer felt like fighting to the death for survival.  Gangsters who don't want to be farmers can still be paid as soldiers, but they have to be reorganized.  Anyone who is unwilling to accept the recruitment is determined to become a bandit. The gun in the hand of the Guard Division is picked up just for them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)They can still be paid as soldiers, but they have to undergo reorganization.  Anyone who is unwilling to accept the recruitment is determined to become a bandit.
