In the Changchun military camp, the two 27th Division commanders and Cheng Ruofan's regiment quickly took over the barracks. The two 27th Division commanders invited Cheng Ruofan to drink tea with them. The three sat down, and the 27th Division Commander Su smiled and said:

"Captain Cheng has been promoted to regimental commander only half a year after he arrived outside the customs. It seems that Governor He is very popular among the commanders of the regiment."

The rank of Major Cheng Ruofan is real. It was awarded by Zhang Xiluan before the order of this defense change was issued. The rank of the regiment commander is not nonsense. He Rui has expanded the army to 7,500 men and three regiments in a short period of time. Cheng Ruofan is already the commander of the second regiment.

Hearing the compliments from outsiders, Cheng Ruofan smiled and said: "Brothers, this is a change of defense. I will stay in Jilin for two years. I wonder if the two brothers have any opinions on the station."

When they heard that the territory was to be divided, the two regiment commanders perked up, but soon lost interest. The 27th Division was originally stationed in Fengtian, and was responsible for the Fengtian and Liaodong areas. This area was once the richest area outside the Pass, that is,

We have a site in Jilin, but it is far inferior to the previous location.

Captain Song smiled and said: "You always have to go back when changing defenses. When does Brother Cheng think we can return to Fengtian?"

Cheng Ruofan was a little disapproving, "This matter has been ordered by the Commander-in-Chief. Brother, I am just following orders, so what else can I know. Two brothers, what I think about at this time is Commander Zhang's majesty. Just one word can make everyone

The Jilin Provincial Army obeyed orders, which is really admirable."

The two commanders of the 27th Division were stunned. They did not expect that Cheng Ruofan did not brag about himself, but praised Zhang Xiluan's majesty.

The two of them suddenly received Zhang Xiluan's order, and they arrived in Changchun with Cheng Ruofan. Suddenly arriving in the unfamiliar Changchun, both of them felt a little uneasy, not knowing what they would encounter in Changchun. At this time, Changchun

Two of the three regiments of the 23rd Division were ordered to go to Fengtian, leaving only one regiment in the local area. The two of them were completely relieved. After listening to what Cheng Ruofan said, they followed up and praised: "Marshuai Zhang traveled outside the customs 40 years ago and fought with the Russians.

We have fought wars with Japan. Who outside the border does not know the majesty of Marshal Zhang."

Seeing that the mood of the two captains was very real, Cheng Ruofan said smoothly: "In that case, I will follow Marshal Zhang's arrangements. The two brothers have been with Marshal for so long, and they will definitely be promoted."

Commander Song of the 27th Division was relieved to see Cheng Ruofan being so humble. The upper echelons of Fengtian had heard that Marshal Zhang admired He Rui, and that He Rui had indeed done many impressive things after arriving outside the pass. But outside the pass,

These soldiers still feel that they are Zhang Xiluan's old subordinates, and He Rui is just a newcomer, and compared with his qualifications, he is still not as good as someone from outside the customs.

After chatting for a while, Cheng Ruofan stood up and said goodbye. When he returned to the station, he found that the civil affairs cadres were already having a meeting. Cheng Ruofan thought about it and went to the meeting place. He saw Tang Gui saying to a group of cadres: "...

...Comrades began to collect intelligence in Changchun. We have experienced, participated in, witnessed and studied in training classes for these tasks in Siping. What the people in Siping like, the people in Changchun will also like. It is to clean up the municipal administration and clean up gangs.

Evil. Only by collecting the information first can we go ahead and do it."

Cheng Ruofan sat silently in the back row, feeling a little turbulent in his heart. Without exception, these civil affairs work must be carried out smoothly by troops to establish the territory. This is what He Rui did to seize power in Siping. Now this is what Cheng Ruofan has to do in Changchun.

Work.

Thinking back to what He Rui did in Siping, Cheng Ruofan was a little worried that he couldn't do what He Rui did in Changchun, the provincial capital.

At this time, He Rui was sitting opposite Zhang Xiluan. Zhang Xiluan put down the telegram, thought for a moment, and outlined the current situation outside the customs. Two of the three regiments of the 27th Division were sent to Jilin to switch defenses with the 23rd Division. Two regiments of the 28th Division had already

Set off for Heilongjiang to change defenses with the local garrison.

He Rui now has three regiments in his hands. One of the regiments was split into three battalions, which went to Changchun, Heilongjiang, and the 28th Division's garrison in North Town, Jinzhou, Liaoning.

If the local provincial army in Heilongjiang can send two regiments to Fengtian, He Rui's two regiments can hold down the position against the two provincial and four regiments from other places. He can only do this to He Rui, and in the future

Things can only depend on He Rui's own ability.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiluan asked: "Brother He Xian, you have many friendships with Japanese high-level officials. I wonder if Brother He Xian can get along with them?"

He Rui's face changed, "Is this what Kazuto said to Mr. Zhang? That person probably wanted to make Mr. Zhang think that he wanted to join a foreign country. He is a Chinese and there is no way he would do such a thing!"

Zhang Xiluan was indeed a little worried that He Rui would collude with Japan. Seeing He Rui's firm attitude, he continued to ask: "Brother He Xian, I have been outside the customs for so many years and I know the difficulties of Manchuria and Mongolia. This place is sandwiched between Japan and Russia.

The country is weak and it will not be easy to resist the pressure from Russia and Japan."

"Commander, the opportunity Japan gained after the Meiji Restoration was the opportunity to develop productivity. The so-called productivity is by no means simply guns and ships. For a modern country, developing productivity is an organizational structure that shapes the country into developing productivity. Yuan

Yuan Gong once said that if he succeeds in proclaiming himself emperor, he will devote himself to management for ten years and meet Japan. I think that what Yuan Gong will focus on is still the Manchu style, and everything he does is to enrich the treasury and build factories.

The Gun and Artillery Bureau, after gaining strength, started fighting foreign countries. If it could be that simple, there were many famous officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who had been engaged in the Westernization Movement for decades, but they had not been able to accomplish it."

Zhang Xiluan nodded slightly. He is 73 years old this year. He has met many famous ministers of ZTE and listened to those famous ministers talk about how to revitalize the country. There are even many revolutionary parties who are not afraid of death and desperately want to see Zhang Xiluan and explain their revolutionary theories.

Listen to Zhang Xiluan.

The theories of the Revolutionary Party sound very fancy, but they are completely unfeasible. What the famous minister of ZTE said and did is exactly what He Rui said. If it were really effective, there would be no disastrous defeat in Sino-Japanese War and the shame of Gengzi.

"Zhang Gong visited Siping two years ago and asked Bei Shi why he wanted to carry out land reform at the expense of offending so many gentry, and why he was not afraid of the chaos caused by foreigners coming to Siping, but also wanted to attract investment. Bei Shi had already told Gong Zhang the reasons.

Land reform is to eliminate social contradictions, develop Siping from a small farmer economy to a small commodity economy, and then develop the domestic market and productivity. Investment promotion is to use foreign markets, capital and technology to develop domestic production capabilities. And these things must be done by

Only when the government rebuilds the system according to the model of an industrialized society can it operate the production methods of industrialized countries."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiluan couldn't help but sigh slightly, and He Rui also quickly stopped talking.

Zhang Xiluan picked up the tea cup and tasted it slowly. His expression was calm, but his heart was full of emotions. He was really old!

After listening to He Rui's explanation and what he saw in Siping, Zhang Xiluan could clearly feel that what He Rui said was sincere, and the results were as effective as He Rui said. Although there was no industrial development yet.

Regardless of the level, He Rui has allowed the people of Siping to live a better life under this new system. Siping's tax revenue has not been reduced as a result, but has been greatly increased.

If he were ten years younger... no, five years younger, Zhang Xiluan would reuse He Rui and run the business well outside the customs.

However, age is not forgiving, and he no longer has such physical strength and energy, and the situation no longer allows Zhang Xiluan to continue working outside the customs. Zhang Xiluan knows very well that he no longer has the ability to deal with the current situation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiluan was even more uneasy about what He Rui would do in the future. If the current power was handed over to He Rui, Zhang Xiluan would have to consider his own name. Zhang Xiluan cheered up and continued to ask: "Brother He Xian, what do you think?

How to deal with Russia and Japan."

He Rui believed that Zhang Xiluan had no other choice at this time, so he told the truth, "A revolution will occur in Russia in at most two years, and the tsarist government cannot survive. I will definitely do my best within two years, and first form six divisions."

When the Russian Civil War broke out, he sent his army northward, not only to collect and control the Middle East Road, but also to collect and control the territory occupied by Russia. When he fell, he also asked Duke Zhang to lead the troops outside the customs to do this important task! When the homeland is recovered, Duke Zhang's reputation will definitely not be there.

Under Zuo Gong."

Zhang Xiluan's eyes lit up and his heart moved. But Zhang Xiluan was Zhang Xiluan after all, and he was not easily persuaded. However, his doubts about He Rui had been basically eliminated.

At this moment, Adjutant Liu sent a telegram, "Commander, two divisions of the 28th Division have arrived in Changchun and are heading to Heilongjiang."
