Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Tinglan quickly waved his hands: "Seventh Lord, what a big mistake, I really have good intentions, and I also think that we should take action to put an end to this kind of thing that affects Japan's image, and the Japanese should be grateful to me."

How perceptive is Lao Zhang, why can't he hear what Zhang Tinglan said?

"You mean let's clean up Fengtian's ronin?"

"That's right, as long as the Japanese admit that there are fake ronin, we will be able to attack those ronin who are running around and suppress their arrogance, and the Japanese side can only suffer a dumb loss. Didn’t the Party pop up this time, and these evil-minded residues must be suppressed forcefully. After suppressing these two forces, the pressure on Fengtian businessmen will be much less, and the goal of cleaning up people’s hearts will be achieved! "

It is indeed not easy for businessmen in this era. They have to endure black and white exploitation, tax levies, and the worst thing is social unrest. If something happens casually, the business will close down. No one can afford it.

Therefore, it is extremely important for them to have a stable environment. This is why Zhang Tinglan plans to plan the North Market. He needs to provide protection to merchants through the barrel of a gun and turn them into his own pockets. The combination of the two is The only way to survive in this troubled world.

Zhang Tinglan suggested that Lao Zhang get the power of law and order, and also had the intention of preparing for the establishment of the North Market.

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's suggestion, Zhang Zuolin was immediately elated, obviously he was extremely satisfied with this idea.Of course, the turmoil still needs to be calmed down now. Lao Zhang quickly went to the periphery of the Japanese consulate and withdrew all the soldiers of the 27th Division.

Those thugs of Shanqi were also taken away by Lao Zhang. These guys were willing to work for tigers, and they must not be spared lightly. The only regret is that Shanqi ran to Naniwa Kawashima early and escaped arrest.However, Zhang Tinglan has already kept the leader of the Clan Socialist Party in his heart, and in the future, whenever he has the opportunity, he must be taken down. Anyone who tries to split China must be punished.

After Lao Zhang returned to the station, he immediately brought out more than a dozen Japanese ronin detained and interrogated them. His behavior has nothing to do with the Great Japanese Empire.

According to the rules, Lao Zhang sent these people to the police station, and then issued a statement together with the Japanese Consul General Yada, saying that these people were Koreans living in Fengtian, not real Japanese, and hoped that people from all walks of life would not misunderstand.

Most of the students thought that this result was to avoid the important and ignore the minor, but it was a good step, and it did not damage the dignity of China, so they all got along and the demonstrations stopped.In addition, major newspapers also carried out reports, shifting the responsibility to the North Koreans, which can be regarded as a successful end to this conflict.

The dramatic end of the Fengtian incident alarmed President Yuan Shikai. Since Article 21 was proposed, Lao Yuan has seen through Japan's ambitions for the three eastern provinces.But Lao Yuan's confidantes are all in the pass, and if he wants to ensure the safety of the three eastern provinces, he must have a character who is both wise and courageous, bold and careful. Zhang Zuolin's performance this time made Lao Yuan very satisfied.

It not only hit the arrogance of Japan, but also prevented them from tearing their faces. The fire was just right. This bearded lieutenant general is still very capable.Zhang Xiluan has already submitted a letter to resign. It is indeed time for the governor of Fengtian to be replaced. Shouldn't Zhang Zuolin be praised?

Of course Zhang Zuolin didn't know what Yuan Shikai was thinking. He took Zhang Tinglan to the Governor's Mansion three days after the incident was over, and found Zhang Xiluan.As soon as they met Lao Zhang, he said straight to the point: "Godfather, although the matter has calmed down this time, we should also learn from it!"

"Yuting is right. Without Yuting's magical method, I, a bad old man, don't know how to pass this test. Then how do you deal with it?"

"Godfather, there are good and bad Japanese ronin in Fengtian, and there are many fake ones among them, and people from the Zongsha Party are jumping up and down. If they are allowed to make trouble like this, I don't know when there will be conflicts. At that time, there will be no way to deal with it. So I suggest strengthening Fengtian’s law and order, vigorously rectifying, and solving all kinds of hidden dangers in advance, only in this way can it be done once and for all.”

Zhang Xiluan was indeed old and stupid, he didn't understand Zhang Zuolin's implication, he just thought he had good intentions, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Yuting, I'll ask Lu Zhengxiong to make a plan right away, do you think it's appropriate?"

"Godfather, you are also aware of Lu Zhengxiong's performance this time. He has long been in contact with the Japanese, and he recklessly beat up the student representative, which triggered a student demonstration. How can such a person continue to be used?"

Zhang Xiluan finally understood at this time, Zhang Zuolin was staring at the police station with feelings, and the governor of Kuaima Zhang basically had no power. If he lost control of the police, he would really become a tablet. How could the old man be reconciled? .

"Yuting, Director Lu is indeed a bit inappropriate. I will choose other more suitable candidates from the police department, so you don't have to worry about it." Zhang Xiluan said lightly.

"Old Governor, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to use people from the police station." Zhang Tinglan said at this time: "This time we captured hundreds of Zong-Socialist thugs, and many of them were gangsters who did many evil things. Can the police handle them?"

Zhang Xiluan has long noticed Zhang Tinglan, a young man. He has been by Zhang Zuolin's side these few times, and he is obviously not a dispensable person. It was his idea to describe Japanese ronin as Koreans. At this time, most of his words are It represents Zhang Zuolin.

"Godfather, it's definitely not enough to rely on the police alone. I don't think you need to worry about getting old. My son has already taken care of everything for you. I'm going to let Zhang Zuoxiang concurrently serve as Fengtian Public Security Assistant. I will select 27 capable soldiers from the [-]th Division. In addition, another [-] policemen who are familiar with the ground will be dispatched to conduct a thorough investigation of Fengtian and eliminate all potential safety hazards, and you can rest easy when you grow up!"

Of course Zhang Xiluan knew what it meant to sit back and relax. Zhang Zuolin had all the military and police in his hands. Who in Fengtian City would dare not listen to him? I'm afraid that the governor will become a memorial tablet.However, Zhang Xiluan weighed his situation carefully, and knew that he had no right to refuse, so he could only wave his hand: "Yuting, I'm getting old, I'll leave these matters to you."

Chapter 22 The First Ammunition

After Zhang Xiluan handed over the power of law and order, he suddenly became dispirited. The old man, who is over seventy years old, has already reached the age of having grandchildren.The old man immediately sent a resignation telegram to Yuan Shikai in Beijing. This was the third time in a year that the old man had resigned, and the old man had to worry about the candidate for the governor of Fengtian.

Zhang Xiluan was disheartened, but Zhang Zuolin was in high spirits. He won such a temporary position as a public security assistant for Zhang Zuoxiang. Speaking of which, it would be overkill for a major general to take care of this.But everyone knows that Lao Zhang is not fighting for Zhang Zuoxiang, and the ultimate executor of this power is Zhang Tinglan.

During this period of time, Zhang Tinglan helped Lao Zhang make suggestions. Seeing that the strength of the 27th Division is getting stronger and stronger, Lao Zhang has to thank the heroes, so Zhang Zuoxiang is given the title, and all the specific affairs are handed over to Zhang Tinglan. to his experience.

Any father would like to see his son's success. Zhang Zuoxiang was very proud of his son's emergence in the 27th Division. They sworn brothers with a total of eight people. The second generation is now in their teens and twenties. It seems that among these juniors, his son was the first to show amazing abilities, how could Zhang Zuoxiang be unhappy.

But Zhang Zuoxiang is also a smart person, and he can't just be happy about everything. As the saying goes, he has no hair on his mouth, and he can't do things well, so he has to mention his son.

"Ting Lan, how do you plan to rectify Fengtian's law and order? If you have any ideas, talk to Dad."

"Father, don't you let me take care of this? I won't get involved."

"Don't think about it, all these troubles are caused by you kid, you have to take care of it for me, or I will take care of you!" Zhang Zuoxiang waved the big cigarette pouch in his palm.

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and said: "Father, in fact, I really want to take advantage of the opportunity of rectifying law and order to restore peace to Fengtian City. Without a stable environment, commerce will not develop, let alone economic construction. I have summed it up. There are five cancers of law and order, namely subordinate officials, gangsters, rogues, clansmen, and soldiers, if these five cancers are not eradicated, there will be no peace in Fengtian.”

The so-called subordinate officials are those low-level officials. Most of them are inherited from the former Qing Dynasty. The vanguard who harmed the common people.

It is easier to understand the gangsters. This has been inherited from the Qing Dynasty. The government and the gangsters are two sides of the same coin. If the government is weak and cannot effectively manage the local area, the power of the gangsters will skyrocket. The red gang tycoons can even stand against the government.

As for Zongshe and ronin, they are something unique to Fengtian. The Japanese covet this place, and the old and young of the Manchu Qing vainly tried to split the country.

The most troublesome of these five tumors is the soldiers. To put it bluntly, they are the eight uncles of the 27th Division. It is well known that Lao Zhang started his business by relying on bandits. Can only do it yourself.

Therefore, soldiers in twos and threes often roam the streets. They blackmail merchants, set up checkpoints, collect protection fees, and even sell drugs. The subordinates of the 27th Division are all involved in these things, so the reputation of the 27th Division is not good, but this is almost the same The common problem of soldiers of the era is difficult to eliminate.

The five points summarized by Zhang Tinglan hit the nail on the head. Zhang Zuoxiang knew very clearly that there was no mistake at all, but he knew that seeing it clearly did not mean that it could be solved.

"Ting Lan, what you said is not wrong, but some of these five cancers cannot be touched, do you know?"

"Father, are you talking about soldiers?"

"That's right, I'm ashamed to say it. When I first joined Fengtian, I was very strict with my subordinates. Anyone who violated military discipline would be severely punished. But after a period of time, the army's income is insufficient, and these old brothers cannot be starved." Come on, I will just open one eye and close one eye."

Zhang Zuoxiang is indeed a kind person, and he is not afraid of embarrassing his son, so he confessed the whole issue.

"Comparatively speaking, the discipline of my artillery regiment is pretty good. Tang Yulin's 53rd brigade is the most serious problem, and a large number of his soldiers are involved in the opium trade. Although it is disgusting, the profits are indeed huge. We leaders If the soldier can't make the life of the soldiers under him better, who will listen to you!"

Zhang Tinglan is very clear that what the father said is from the bottom of his heart. In fact, the large-scale rectification of discipline in the Feng Dynasty began when Wang Yongjiang came to power. Both also advocate the dismissal of Wang Yongjiang, which is also one of the few conflicts between Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Zuolin.

The reason is that Wang Yongjiang rectified Fengtian's law and order and rectified the misbehaving soldiers. This was undoubtedly cutting the flesh of these bandit leaders, so everyone opposed it.

"Father, I know what you mean. The main direction of this rectification is to focus on the ronin, the clan and the gangsters. I can't mess with the soldiers. But I also want to say that the army is the army, and there must be strict discipline." Discipline, without discipline, there is no fighting power at all, the seventh uncle is also a man with great ambitions, he will rectify his subordinates sooner or later, this is also the general trend, this is an inevitable step if we want the 27th Division to become truly strong."

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded slightly, but there was also a hint of embarrassment on his face: "It's easier said than done, it really hurts me to cut my own flesh!" Zhang Zuoxiang smiled wryly: "Ting Lan, will you look down on Dad? "

"Father, what are you always talking about? Is there anyone in this world who is closer than father and son! After I rectified the law and order this time, I immediately set up the framework of the North Market with Sihai Food as the center, and I will stay Pay enough shares to allow all the artillery regiments to live comfortably, but with this income, they will not be forgiven if they do evil again."

Zhang Zuoxiang's eyes suddenly lit up. His son really is a scheming person. Taking this into consideration, Zhang Zuoxiang was completely relieved: "Ting Lan, don't worry, these bastards are full of food and drink. If they dare to be dishonest, they will seek death." , and I won't be polite."

Zhang Tinglan and his father had almost communicated, and five hundred elite soldiers were drawn from the artillery regiment, and they were ready to show their strengths. At this time, Jew Fred sent another good news, a batch of Russian artillery fire was about to pass through Fengtian , he asked Zhang Tinglan to get ready.

arms!Hearing these two words, Zhang Tinglan was very excited. Right now, the development of the 27th Division is restricted by arms. As long as this shortcoming is made up, the future of Fengjun will be bright.

Both Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang were also notified, and they were also overjoyed. Zhang Zuolin selected two hundred of the most reliable soldiers, and they quietly arrived at Wenguantun Station, where Fred was already waiting.

"Zhang, this time there are a total of 20 water rifles and [-] bullets. You can keep them all!"

"Mr. Fred, you can always bring us good news, and you have brought all the goods you asked us to prepare." While talking, a large group of carriages appeared outside the station. These carriages were filled with soju , Kanto sorghum liquor.

Fred also opened a jar of wine enthusiastically. A strong aroma pierced his nostrils. After taking a sip, he felt as if his throat and stomach were on fire, which was indescribably comfortable. It was definitely a first-class high-alcohol liquor. Fred seemed to have seen the liquor turned into a lot of banknotes, so he stuck out his thumb.

"Zhang, such a good wine will definitely drive those drunkards crazy, no matter how much they have, they can be easily sold."

Fred was extremely satisfied with the wine, while Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang were staring at the water rifle unloaded from the wagon at this time, and there was a kind of fanaticism in their eyes.
