At this time, Hailanpao was not completely controlled by the Chinese ** troops. There were nearly a division of Japanese troops stationed in Hailanpao. The Chinese and Japanese sides were actually in a state of confrontation in Hailanpao. Zhang Zuoshuang originally
There was also a time lag in being able to capture Hailanpao. In order to deal with the Russian harassing troops, Japan transferred its troops from Hailanpao. Zhang Zuoshuang took the opportunity to enter Hailanpao. Since Japan was already preparing to reach the Far East with China's help,
Therefore, we only adopted a confrontational attitude, but Fengjun's situation was not good either.
When Zhang Zuoshuang heard that Wu Tong said that twenty wagons of supplies were to be delivered, Lao Zhang was secretly relieved. This ginseng was not given in vain. The most lacking thing now is supplies. Although the outer Northeast is rich, it is not at all
No one has come out, and it's winter now. The weather is getting colder and colder. Many soldiers can't stand it anymore. Lao Zhang is also struggling now!
"Staff Elder Zhang would like to thank you on behalf of more than 30,000 brothers. To be honest, the brothers are basically surviving on frozen cabbage!,,
Wu Tong also frowned. Southwest had provided a lot of supplies to Fengjun before, so he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Zhang Shuai, can you take me to visit the brothers' cafeteria?" Wu Tong's tone was extremely firm. Zhang Zuoshuang could not refuse and could only nod in agreement. Zhang Zuoshuang, Wu Junsheng, Feng Delin, Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin, Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui and other Northeastern officials
All senior generals were accompanying him.
After walking through the thick snow for a while, I saw a huge dilapidated yard in front of me. Only three sides had walls, and the remaining side was surrounded by birch bark and ragged fur. It was ventilated on all sides.
From time to time bursts of black smoke came out from inside.
Far away, Wu Tong smelled a rancid smell. It was still winter, and if the weather got hotter, it would be even worse. Wu Tong endured the violent reaction in his stomach and walked in, only to see more than a dozen stoves inside.
On the stage, a few soldiers were playing with a pile of rotten cabbage, which seemed to be today's dish.
Seeing Zhang Zuoshuang coming in, a leader of the squad reported to Lao Zhang: "Commander, the brothers picked up two dead deer today, so we can add some meat to the brothers!"
This soldier was originally beaming with joy, but his mother, Zhang Zuoshuang, had a wrong look on his face. When he saw again, it turned out that Marshal Zhang was not the protagonist today. There was a scholar-like person among the crowd. He immediately knew that something was wrong. This was not him.
Have you lost anyone to Fengjun?
Wu Tong also looked at this soldier up and down, and saw that the cotton of the shabby cotton coat he was wearing had already been exposed. He also saw frostbite on his hands and face, with patches of blue and purple. He looked so miserable!
Wu Tong walked quickly and came to the stove. He saw a few bags of rice on the side. The soldier next to him wanted to cover it with his body, but Wu Tong could still see that the rice was already a little moldy. Wu Tong saw this
Tong's heart sank. The situation in Fengjun was far worse than he thought. With this kind of food, it was already good to be able to recapture the Sixty-Four Tuns. It would be too difficult to make progress. He glanced at Zhang Zuoshuang and others.
, Lao Zhang looked ashamed at this time, while Tang Yu'lin, Feng Delin and others looked disapproving.
"Brothers, do you usually eat this?"
"Chief of Staff, there are some logistical difficulties these days. I'm sorry to the brothers, they will be fine soon. You guys also heard that this is the person sent by Prime Minister Qiao. My immediate boss, Lao Zhang, is the Imperial Envoy.
Minister, the supplies will be delivered in a few days, you all tell the other brothers that the good days are coming soon!"
When Lao Zhang said this, the cooking soldiers looked very excited and their eyes were shining, "Commander, can you give some cotton-padded clothes and shoes to the brothers? Many brothers are suffering from the cold now!"
"Shameless thing, eating food and being a soldier is a painful job. If you can't bear this little hardship, just go home. Don't be an eyesore here. Get out of here!"
Tang Yulin's face turned gloomy at this time, and he suddenly reprimanded the cook with an arrogant and annoying look. Wu Tong's eyes flashed with a trace of perseverance, "Mr. Tang, the brothers' request is reasonable.
Why is it so? Not only do you have cotton clothes and shoes, but you also have a large amount of beef, medicine, and burning scales. Don’t worry, everyone, you are the heroes who regained your homeland. It is destined to be famous in history. The government will not treat you badly, and neither will Prime Minister Qiao.
Forget about you, I am sent here this time just to solve your difficulties, don’t worry!”
After Wu Tong finished speaking, he left the simple canteen, "Zhang Shuai, the situation of the brothers in Fengjun is indeed not optimistic.
Zhang Zuoshuang's face turned red and he nodded slightly. Wu Tong also understood that other canteens may not be as good as this one, so he simply stopped inspecting and called Zhang Zuoshuang. Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen stayed, and the others
Everyone went to do their own things. Zhang Zuoshuang chose his office in a small building owned by a Russian official in Hailanpao. The environment was good and the indoor temperature was good. However, at this time, the three people from Fengjun were all busy.
Some faces have fever.
"Chief of Staff, I, Lao Zhang, apologize to you. We have wronged our brothers!"
"Zhang Shuai, don't rush to take responsibility. The Prime Minister made it clear many times before I came here. Zhang Zuoshuang is the number one figure among the three northeastern provinces. The border defense in Northeast China must be left to you. Why is Fengjun so embarrassed?"
Now that we are at this point, can you tell the truth and let us work together to find a way to solve the difficulties!"
Zhang Zuolin was shocked when he heard Wu Tong say that Qiao Yu valued him. It seems that the new prime minister is really good at everything. It was said that he was supported by this person when he was appointed as the patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces. But now he has been
The situation in the army is indeed somewhat unjustifiable.
Seeing Zhang Zuoshuang hesitate to speak, Sun Liechen on the side spoke: "Chief of Staff, if Yu Ting doesn't want to talk, then I will tell you that Feng Jun's current predicament is both the Japanese and ours. When Yu Ting took over
After receiving the order to send troops to the Northeast, we stepped up preparations. However, the Japanese seemed to have caught the hint and firmly opposed our sending troops, demanding that Fengjun must stay in the Northeast.
At that time, they withstood the pressure of Japan, wiped out all the Russian forces on the Middle East Road, and seized control of the Middle East Road. Then, under the guise of the remaining bandits, they gathered troops and occupied Hailanpao in one fell swoop, and then successively dispatched Feng Delin
When we came to garrison with Wu Junsheng and others, we were eager to send troops and were not fully prepared at all. After arriving at Hailanpao, our supplies were not sufficient. At this time, Japan frequently made logistical difficulties for us by controlling the railways, which made our supplies
It’s intermittent and not enough at all!”
When Sun Liechen said this, Wu Tong also nodded. He also knew this situation. Japan has been holding back the Chinese ** team and obstructing China's actions to regain its territory. However, Southwest has coordinated with Japan many times, and this is also
It's not something that can't be said. I think the difficulties faced by Fengjun are still on our own people.
"Commander Sun, let's talk about Fengjun's own problem. Is there a moth? If I remember correctly, Prime Minister Qiao had already reached an agreement with Duan Qirui before the Russian majority party decided. Southwest will provide the army with
If we have supplies, there will be a lot of hoarding, so why are there none left?"
"Chief of Staff, even though there were many people reaching out, there was still a lot of supplies left. However, after the revolution broke out in Russia, Japan sent many people to Russia to intervene. These Japanese troops were not well prepared, so they went everywhere.
Searching for supplies, Feng Delin, Tang Yulin and others secretly sold supplies to the Fengjun army and exchanged arms with the Japanese. As a result, Fengjun's scabies supplies were naturally insufficient. Feng Delin, Tang Yulin and several of us were all sworn brothers.
His shame makes outsiders laugh, so Yu Ting is not willing to say anything, and the chief of staff decides everything!"
In fact, according to the original historical trajectory, Zhang Zuoshuang had already become the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, and Feng Delin had already been ruined for supporting Zhang Xun's rebellion. Tang Yulin also gradually faded out of Fengjun's inner circle. However, due to Qiao Yu,
Yuan Shikai's farce of proclaiming himself emperor led to his downfall more than a month earlier than history.
Zhang Zuoshuang and others did not have time to react, so they lost the opportunity. They did not succeed in expelling Duan Zhigui like history, and they did not become the governor of Fengtian. Then Duan Qirui gained the support of Qiao Yu, and his position became more stable.
Picture, Duan Qirui knew that Zhang Zuoshuang and others were not of the same mind as him, so he would not give power to the ambitious Lao Zhang, so he appointed Wang Zhanyun. This Beiyang veteran served as the governor of Fengtian, and was later promoted to the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces.
As the saying goes, one step behind leads to another step behind. Zhang Zuoshuang lost this opportunity to make a fortune and could only continue to serve as the commander of the 27th Division. Wang Zhanyuan listened to the Japanese on the issue of recovering the Middle Road and did nothing. In the end, Duan Qi
Ruicai provoked Wang Zhanyun out of office and supported Zhang Zuoshuang's rise to power.
He suddenly rose from the position of division commander to patrol envoy. Although Zhang Zuoshuang showed enough ability and sent troops to Hailanpao, which made him famous, Feng Delin, Wu Junsheng and others were still able to compete with him, and Tang Yulin was even more unwilling to do so.
He was only a division commander, and if Zhang Zuoshuang was promoted to patrol officer, then he should be the military governor of Fengtian. It was this dissatisfaction that turned into a hindrance.
However, the Japanese themselves were seriously short of supplies, so they got together and openly resold military supplies. They relied on Japanese arms to quickly expand their ranks. They also recruited many White Russian soldiers in Hailanpao, threatening to replace Zhang Zuoshuang!
Sun Liechen said all this, and then Zhang Zuoxiang added something on the side. Finally, Zhang Zuoshuang said with a stern face: "Chief of Staff, no matter how many reasons there are, it is Yuting who is incompetent. He has failed the prime minister's trust and cannot accept the service."
My brothers in the army, I will definitely take decisive measures to rectify it. I only hope that the chief of staff can ask the prime minister to block the pressure from Japan!"
Zhang Zuoshuang hit the key point in one sentence. Even though there were scum in Fengjun, Lao Zhang still had a way to deal with them. The trouble was Zao himself. These little devils had seven divisions outside the northeast. They were numerous and powerful.
With their support, I'm afraid Feng Delin and others simply don't dare to be so brazen.
"It's true. There is only one division of soldiers stationed in Hailanpao. They don't have enough food and clothing. Their military discipline is corrupt and they frequently go out to plunder. Not only do they rob property, they also don't spare women. It's still a joke to say that sending troops
Among the intervention forces in the Far East, the American soldiers were the richest, with salaries more than ten times that of the Japanese. All the Japanese women who came to the Far East to sell their bodies were taken over by the Americans, and the Japanese could only go around plundering Russian women.
