"When I see our Admiral, I won't kneel down! I'll kill you all!" Jie Jiajun was young and energetic, and raised the gun in his hand. He couldn't bear to see his commander being humiliated like this, and even spoke to a small group leader in a gentle manner.

"Damn it! You guys are so aggressive! You're so stinky! You're so stinky!" The little leader also raised his gun and competed with Jie Jiajun.

People in Northeast China have violent temperaments and often make big moves because of disagreement. Now seeing the two gangs of people are at a slightest juncture, Tang Jian doesn't want to hurt innocent people here.

"Don't be ruthless! Put down my gun!" Tang Jian turned around and scolded, Wang Jianchuan and others had to put away the guy in their hands unwillingly.

Seeing that Tang Jian and his gang had put down the guns in their hands, Zhang Zuolin signaled the little leader beside him. The little leader was unwilling to let the group down the gun.

"Little brother, what did you just say he is?" Zhang Zuolin walked up to Jie Jiajun and asked.

Jie Jiajun was about to scold him sternly, but as soon as he looked up, he was stunned when he saw Zhang Zuolin's face, he asked tentatively: "So you are Captain Zhang of the Zhaojiamiao Public Security Team in western Liaoning?"

Zhang Zuolin also said with a puzzled look: "I see why you look so familiar. Are you a boy from Lao Jie's family from Shandong?"

"Yes, Captain Zhang, I am Jie Jiajun and Jie's baby!" Jie Jiajun slapped his thigh and said.

"Oh, it's really a Jiewoo. It's really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. The whole family doesn't know the family anymore. Everyone quickly put away all the guys, and they are all their own people!" Zhang Zuolin laughed heartily and patted Jie Jiajun on the shoulder.

"Come on, let that young man be released!" Zhang Zuolin ordered the young leader to let Yuan Jingxiang go.

Tang Jian, Wang Jianchuan and others were stunned by the sudden change. Tang Jian thought he would have to spend a lot of time to convince the bearded king of Northeast China in later generations, but he did not expect that Jie Jiajun would settle it in a few words.

The group of people slowly retreated, and Zhang Zuolin said politely: "You guys haven't eaten yet. Let's go to my house and take a break. I'll let your sister-in-law cook for you in person." As he said that, Zhang Zuolin led Tang Jian and the other two to his home.

On the way to Zhang Zuolin's house, Tang Jian asked curiously: "Jie Jiajun, what's your relationship with Zhang Zuolin?"

"Haha, commander, it was when he was defeated in the year of Sino-Japanese War. Zhang Tuan was originally a cavalry of Song Qingyi's army, Ma Yuzhi, or a whistle commander! Later, after the defeat in Sino-Japanese War, he fled back. At the age of 21, he took Zhao Chungui, the second daughter of the local landlord Zhao Zhanyuan, as his wife at our Zhao Family Temple. My father had a strong relationship with him. At that time, I was still a half-year-old child in my teens and liked to follow his butt." Jie Jiajun explained to Tang Jian.

Tang Jian asked curiously again: "Why is your father really in love with him?"

Jie Jiajun looked at Zhang Zuolin who was leading the way in front and said with a smile: "I love gambling. Both of them like to bet. They often lose together and drag their pants. They are fellow fellows, so they have a close relationship, haha!"

Tang Jian deeply believed it. It seems that history says that the Northeast King Zhang Zuolin loves gambling is indeed true.

"What happened later?" Tang Jian was very interested in Zhang Zuolin, who had been in the northeast for decades and influenced the political situation in modern China.

"Later? No more. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese, Russians, and the bandits were rampant in western Liaoning. My father took our family back to Shandong. Since then, my family has lost contact with Chief Zhang Tuan, and then I joined the Lone Wolf. You all know what happened later." Jie Jiajun said.

"Haha, so that's how it is!" Tang Jianqi suddenly realized.

"Haha, what are you talking about? You're home!" Zhang Zuolin pushed open the gate of his yard.

Zhang Zuolin's residence is quite bold here in this octagonal platform. There is a large courtyard in front of the house, with three large rooms connected together, with a main house in the middle and side rooms on both sides, which is exactly the same as the residences of wealthy families in Northeast China at that time.

As Zhang Zuolin entered the inner room, Zhang Zuolin said politely: "Everyone go to the kang to sit!"

Tang Jian and the other two were not polite, and they went to the kang with a huh, and a few of them surrounded him. The temperature from the kang drove away the fatigue and coldness of the whole day.

After a while, the maids of Zhang Zuolin's family served hot tea to several people one after another. Zhang Zuolin walked in and said, "Brothers, I have asked the Gu Nei to cook first. Now, this is my treasured wine." As he said that, Zhang Zuolin held a jar of sorghum sour wine and surrounded the kang with everyone.

Several people were drinking tea and talking about the salty and dried peanuts. Zhang Zuolin asked, "I said, Jiewazi, why don't you reply to us if you and your father have been back in Shandong these years?"

Jie Jiajun's eyes were slightly red and he said, "My father was infected with the cold when he returned to Shandong. He left me alone and went there. Later, I was helpless and simply joined the army in Shandong. I joined the Beiyang Fleet and now serve as the second lieutenant platoon leader in the Beiyang Navy."

Zhang Zuolin comforted Jie Jiajun's shoulder and comforted him: "Oh, life is impermanent. Since you are the platoon leader, it is a good thing!"

"Huh? I'm just talking to you. Have you not introduced these friends yet?" Zhang Zuolin apologized.

Jie Jiajun gave Tang Jian an inquiring look, and Tang Jian nodded and said it was okay.

Jie Jiajun pointed at Tang Jian and said, "This is the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, Admiral Tang Jian!"

"This is Wang Jianchuan, the Colonel of the Lone Wolf Army, and this is Yuan Jingxiang, the Lone Wolf Army's Second Lieutenant..." Jie Jiajun introduced to Zhang Zuolin one by one.

Zhang Zuolin widened his eyes and said stammeringly: "Jiewazi, you... you didn't lie to me, aren't you?"

Seeing that Zhang Zuolin didn't believe it, Jie Jiajun took off the sheepskin coat and exposed the neat military uniform inside. He carried a star on his shoulder stamp, which was indeed the rank of a second lieutenant.

When Zhang Zuolin saw the epaulette with military rank, he was immediately scared to kneel on the ground and apologized constantly: "Commander Tang, those brave men just now have offended you without knowing Mount Tai. I hope you will forgive me!"

Tang Jian smiled, got off the kang and helped Zhang Zuolin up and said, "Those who don't know are innocent, please get up quickly. We will still not know each other even if we fight!"

After Tang Jian and Zhang Zuolin returned to the kang, Zhang Zuolin began to become a little restrained.

Jie Jiajun explained Zhang Zuolin in detail the purpose of their visit to Northeast China at this moment, and Zhang Zuolin was stunned.

Zhang Zuolin was still a little unbelievable, and asked with wide eyes: "You really want to fight Russian Russians?"

"Well, yes, the army and the navy are now actively preparing for war. After the spring of the next year, when the Northeast region recovers and freezes, it will fight the Russians and completely drive the Russians out of the three northeastern provinces!" Tang Jian said.

"That's good, that's good. The Northeast has been in chaos for so many years. The Russians and Japanese are doing things here, and bandits are rampant, so someone needs to deal with it. Otherwise, the people in the Northeast will really suffer." Zhang Zuolin sighed.

As the few people talked about Zhang Zuolin's experience. Under Tang Jian's questioning, Zhang Zuolin sighed and talked about his past:

I was originally from Haicheng, Liaoning (now under the jurisdiction of Anshan City, Liaoning Province). When I was a child, I often went to and from casinos with my father. I was influenced and liked to gambling.

At the beginning, I made some money by selling sesame cakes, but I lost all of them soon. My mother asked me to change to a carpenter. I thought it was too tiring to do it. After that, I once wandered on the streets and begged along the streets. Later, I wandered to Gaokan Town (now known as Xi'an Town, Dawa County, Panjin City), and I was doing odd jobs for others in a cart shop. Sometimes when the mules and horses were sick, I got some herbs to treat them, and it was really cured. After a while, I became a veterinarian. I liked this business very much at the time.

Later, I took advantage of the situation to open a veterinary stake and made a living. After that, I was really in a tragic fate, wronged, beaten, and almost died. With the help of kind people, I was able to survive. At that time, the experience seemed to have reached the lowest point of my life. I was desperate, unwilling to die, and I had no way to survive.

At this time, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 broke out, and I joined the army with the hope of survival. At that time, I joined the army under the Ma Yuzhi, the army of Song Qingyi, and became a cavalry. That year, I was 20 years old. Because I had worked as a veterinarian, I like horses more, and my riding skills were very good, so I was promoted to the commander of the sentry. After defeating the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, I became a defeated army and fled back to western Liaoning. In 1895, when I was 21 years old, I married Zhao Chungui, the second daughter of Zhao Zhanyuan, the landlord of Zhao Family Temple. It was at that time that I met Jiewazi, the father who came to Zhao Family Temple who broke into Guandong.
