A few days later, Fengtian.

The Encirclement and Suppression of Du Lisan was Xu Shichang's first shot at suppressing bandits in Northeast China. In order to deter other bandits, Xu Shichang decided to hold a grand entrance ceremony.

In the early morning, the common people gathered at the gate of the city, looking forward to it.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

On Tongtian Street, Li Jie was riding a tall horse, and soldiers from the patrol battalion lined up behind him. Although they did not goose-step, the neat formation was still pleasing to the eye.

The soldiers held their heads high, their faces full of pride and pride, and carried their polished rifles on their shoulders. Under the sunlight, the bayonets on the gun tips reflected dazzling cold light.

The swords and guns were like a forest, and the pace was sonorous. Although the number of the team was less than a hundred, it felt like a thousand troops.

Xu Shichang squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the team in front of him, and couldn't help but praise it secretly.

Elite!

This is the elite!

Seeing this team, Xu Shichang instantly felt that the other patrol battalions were just a bunch of rabble.

Immediately, he turned his eyes and looked at the figure walking in the front. The first impression Li Jie left on him was that of youth. Even though the figure deliberately grew a beard, he still could not hide the childishness on his face.

Xu Shichang had never met Li Jie before. Strictly speaking, this was the first meeting between the two.

Although Xu Shichang had overestimated him as much as possible, at the moment when they actually met, he realized that he still underestimated this young man.

Looking at nothing else but the marching queue of the troops, Xu Shichang judged that this team was definitely a rare elite soldier!

At this moment, Xu Shichang changed his mind again!

Originally, he only planned to let Li Jie enter the martial arts hall for further study, and had no intention of taking him under his command. However, seeing and hearing is better than seeing him. At this time, he had already made up his mind and extended an olive branch to Li Jie.

After all, Du Lisan was just one of the many bandits in the three eastern provinces. At most, his reputation was a little bigger. Getting rid of Du Lisan did not mean that the work of suppressing bandits was over.

In the next period of time, bandit suppression will become the norm. As long as stability is not restored in the three northeastern provinces, the bandit suppression work will not stop for a day!

On the other side, Li Jie casually looked around at the people on the high platform. The kind-faced old man who was leading them was, not surprisingly, the current Northeastern King, no, the Northeastern Emperor Xu Shichang.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Xu Shichang as the "Northeast Emperor". In order to quell the chaos in the Northeast, Xu Shichang had almost unlimited rights in the Northeast. Not to mention anything else, just one point can prove Xu Shichang's status.

The appointment and dismissal of all officials of third rank and above in the three eastern provinces were all handled by Xu Shichang. His authority was simply astonishing.

In history, only Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang had similar rights, but Li Hongzhang faced a different environment. It was during the war at that time, so it was just a temporary measure.

Now, although Northeast China is said to be in chaos, it is not in a state of war in name.

In addition, Xu Shichang controlled all the military, political and civil affairs of the three northeastern provinces. If you add the power of personnel appointment, it is completely reasonable to say that he is the emperor of Northeast China.

Li Jie had no special feelings for Xu Shichang. He neither admired nor criticized him. Among the several great presidents during the Republic of China, this one had the weakest sense of existence.

However, compared with the other five Beiyang presidents, only Xu Shichang came from a serious literary background, which deserves special attention. In troubled times, whoever has the gun always has a higher status.

Xu Shichang was able to ascend to the throne of president by virtue of being a scholar. He really had a lot of tools.

Suddenly, Li Jie noticed a malicious look coming from the crowd. After a closer look, he discovered the source of this malicious look.

It turned out to be the future "Northeast King" Zhang Yuting.

After realizing the identity of the person, Li Jie was not surprised. After all, in the original history, this honor should have belonged to him. Of course, everything that followed, including awards, also belonged to him.

To be precise, I cut off the opponent's brain.

However, when he thought of the young master who never fired a shot, Li Jie suddenly felt that he had done the right thing.

Even if we don't talk about the young master, but just talk about Zhang Yuting, Li Jie feels that what he did is extremely correct. Compared with what Zhang Yuting will do in the future, he can obviously do better.

The city entry ceremony was extremely grand and the effect was first-rate. Not only the people in the city came, but also representatives from Japan, Russia, the United States and other powers arrived at the scene.

After a long time of liveliness, the tedious city entry ceremony was finally over. The people who had seen enough of the excitement left the scene happily, and the remaining officials also returned to their jobs.

Li Jie, on the other hand, followed Xu Shichang to the Governor's Mansion.

The ensuing conversation was lackluster, and was basically just talk. Xu Shichang highly praised Li Jie's anti-bandit action, and at the same time fully recognized his usual work, and hoped that he would continue his efforts in the future.

During this period, Xu Shichang also made a vague suggestion to recruit Li Jie. Although Li Jie understood, he deliberately pretended to be confused and did not respond immediately.

The reason why Li Jie didn't accept the offer was because he felt that the current time was not right yet, and it would not be too late to accept the offer after he showed greater value.

Anyway, the troops in the Northeast are all a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps. It is impossible to find a team that can compete with them. The best way is to wait for a price and sell them.

Of course, with Li Jie's acting skills, Xu Shichang will definitely not be able to tell that he is pretending to be stupid. If the other party really sees it, Li Jie's life will be in vain for so many years.

The meeting ended after about ten minutes. Ten minutes may seem like a short time, but in fact anyone who is familiar with Xu Shichang knows that this time is already a long time.

Generally speaking, Xu Shichang would only spend such a long time meeting those high-ranking officials.

Therefore, after Li Jie arrived, he found that he was frequently noticed by others along the way. Some were envious, some were shocked, some were jealous, and some were admiring.

At the same time, in a tavern box in the city, Zhang Yuting and several other sworn brothers gathered together, closed the door, and chatted about some private topics.

Today, the center of everyone's discussion is Li Jie. After all, the team led by Li Jie left a very deep impression on them at the entrance ceremony just now.

Compared with the soldiers and horses under the opponent's command, their men are simply a group of 'rabble'.

On the table, sitting in the main seat was an old man with a white beard. This man was Ma Longtan, the eldest among the Eight Vajras. I heard him sigh softly and said.
Chapter completed!
