The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Come to think of it, who is this Jiang Dengxuan?

The Harbin garrison commander alone had eight mixed brigades under his command, nearly 20,000 people.

That bastard Jiang Cheng sent such a high-ranking official to personally deliver something to your camp, and he could deliver a full box of Xibei goods?
We think you just want to keep all the benefits for yourself, and then you and your brothers will really fight with the bearded army outside the Great Wall. Are you trying to stab us in the back?

Zhang Xiyuan really became Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, and he is no longer a human being:
Jiang Dengxuan came to deliver something, but he couldn't check whether the yellow croakers were real in front of him;

After they walked away, Zhang Xiyuan called a knowledgeable subordinate to come and inspect the goods with a happy look on his face.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't verify, they were shocked to find out it was all fake.

But being teased would have been fine, Zhang Xiyuan was completely dumbfounded when he was questioned by his colleagues.

Only then did he vaguely feel that the Western goods that Jiang Cheng had someone send over were obviously not that simple.

However, these poor, starving people would not listen to his excuses - you won't give us any, right? If you don't give us any, we will beat you to death!
So the internal conflict caused by a box of fake gold happened nearby.

The troops of several warlords fought each other to a bloody defeat, and even Qi Xieyuan, who was used as a "bait", joined in the robbery of gold.

All this was within Jiang Cheng's expectations, and was also the real purpose of his sending Jiang Dengxuan to "deliver the leg of lamb" this time.

Jiang Cheng knew all too well about the warlords in this time and space.

It is true that there are many people who have ideals and are patriotic, but they are not among the group of direct troops in front of us.

Each of them was trying to make money and occupy territory in various ways... Some were like Qi Xieyuan, who later became the Japanese's running dogs and were later shot.

A box full of yellow croaker may not sound like a lot to these senior executives who are used to big scenes, but when the real benefits come, the first thought of these people is to rob.

Just grab it.

Hearing this news, Jiang Cheng could only sneer.

In fact, no matter whether it is the Zhili Army or the Fengtian Army... they are nothing more than corrupt and backward warlords under the Beiyang system.

A leg of lamb is enough to make starving wild dogs fight each other!
Of course, for this era, some of the things the Marshal did for the Northeast, such as trying every means to curb the Japanese encroachment and building the Northeast, were progressive in a certain sense.

But in fact, they are constantly provoking wars in China. To put it bluntly, it is only for the interests of various factions.

Gazing at the vast Huangpu River flowing out to the sea, the sparkling waves brought a chilly wind... Jiang Cheng had already boarded the flagship and headed north.

Looking at the fleet vaguely visible in the distance, which were all foreign ships, Jiang Cheng gradually felt a little sad.

As time goes by, the September 18th Incident is getting closer and closer... The Japs will come sooner or later, and they will definitely come.

In this situation, he had no choice but to work hard to make the entire Northeast strong, and turn the tide in the war that would come several years later!

…………

Unsurprisingly, the Second Zhi-Feng War ended with the victory of the Fengtian Army.

Jiang Cheng once again served as a rear-line officer, listening to the continuous reports of victory coming back from the front lines without any sense of participation, and that was the end of it.

As the winner of this war, the Marshal finally became the actual controller of the capital.

Time quickly moved forward to the end of 1925, when Jiang Cheng's research team finally cracked the engine technology. Of course, it was still not enough to make engines for tanks and airplanes - but the first batch of hand-cranked tractors independently developed by the Kulun factory entered the production stage.

In addition, factories in Rehe and Suiyuan areas have also begun to be put into operation in batches, and internal circulation has been achieved outside the Great Wall: products related to people's livelihood almost no longer need to be imported.

However, the situation inside the Great Wall became confusing because the Marshal planned to go south to recover Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The Fengtian Army, which had recovered from the Second Zhi-Feng War, planned to send all its troops through the pass and head south to capture multiple regions in order to complete the cause of unification.

Unexpectedly, the Fengtian Army's advance southward was blocked by the anti-Fengtian coalition called by Sun Chuanfang.

The Marshal was naturally furious, but even more so, he was unwilling to accept it.

So he thought of his "old friends", the Japanese devils.

In fact, after the Fengtian Army entered the Pass, the Japanese had always been flirting with him, trying to gain more benefits through him.

But the Marshal, who holds great power, is also afraid that these brats will take more benefits from China, so he has been resisting their cooperation.

However... going south was not favorable, so the Marshal had this idea again; the Japanese were of course overjoyed and immediately expressed their support for him to attack the south, but also said that future conditions had to be negotiated.

Of course, these Japanese devils never thought that the old fox would talk to them easily if they gave him something, but when the real Japanese devils asked for things again, he pretended to be confused and cheated.

The Japanese didn't know that Jiang Cheng, the time traveler, knew it all... So after hearing these rumors, he just shook his head and smiled faintly.

But the fatal thing happened here.

Even the Marshal never thought that his "greedy" behavior would sow the seeds of great disaster for his future.

Due to the Japanese side's poor performance, the cooperation between the two parties was discovered by Guo Songling.

All we know is that Lao Guo has made many contributions in the Fengtian clique over the years, but for some unknown reason he has never been promoted.

Coupled with the fact that Yang Yuting often interfered and instigated, the feud was completely established.

After learning about this, Guo Songling left Fengtian in a rage, and drove south with his wife, heading straight to Feng Yuxiang in the interior of the country...

"What...Mao Chen? You didn't come to my place."

That day was Hai Huixin's birthday. Jiang Cheng brought his whole family to the Governor's Mansion to celebrate his beloved wife's birthday. At that time, the Young Marshal called him from Fengtian, asking him about Guo Songling's whereabouts.

Jiang Cheng was confused. He swallowed a piece of mutton slices covered with sesame sauce and replied vaguely, "I wonder if you have been pissed off by others again and you are so angry that you want to quit?"

The young marshal opposite him said in a very irritable tone: "What? I didn't dare to provoke him at all! You know, I promised him before that after the war, I would arrange for him to be the governor of Zhili--"

"But I don't know what happened. My father and Yang Yuting changed their minds..."

Jiang Cheng chuckled: "It's been more than a year, and you haven't let go of this matter yet? We, Mao Chen, are not petty people."

When he said this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

His beloved wife’s birthday is in October of the lunar calendar…During the years of the Republic of China, he gradually got used to using the lunar calendar and rarely used the Gregorian calendar.

Today is November in the Gregorian calendar!
In November 1925, this, this,
A thunderclap suddenly exploded in the depths of Jiang Cheng's mind - he suddenly realized that a major event that almost shook the foundation of the Northeast was about to happen! (End of this chapter)
