..The Manchu and Qing government originally had a very wonderful idea for the three eastern provinces. This idea can be simply understood as an Eastern style, or a Qing imperial style political art, that is, by appointing Song Biao as the governor of the three eastern provinces, they recruited peace.
Song Biao and his troops cleverly regained control of the three northeastern provinces from Russia, and then used the division and restraint of power to contain Song Biao and the Northeastern New Army with the garrison generals of the three provinces and the Yin of Fengtian Prefecture...
They understand this as killing two birds with one stone.
Unfortunately, the "big or small" demonstration by the New Army in Fengtian gave the princes of the Manchu Qing government a slap in the face and shattered all their illusions.
Even if there had not been this Fengtian New Army demonstration, various conflicts for power would have broken out between Song Biao and the Manchu Qing government, and those shameless slaps would have been repeated again and again. If the situation continued to expand, it would only make the self-righteous people
The Manchu and Qing government was even more embarrassed.
Facts have proved that in Song Biao's view, he did not need to take the imperial court seriously as he had military power in his hands.
In this wonderful psychological struggle and confrontation, the Manchu and Qing government finally realized how stupid their so-called clever plan was. Everything returned to the origin of the Russo-Japanese War. Almost everyone knew that the person who controlled the three eastern provinces was Song Biao.
and his army, not the Qing government. After this series of struggles, the Qing government finally realized this clearly.
Even though she found various steps for herself, the royal family and the Qing government, Cixi actually knew very well in her heart that she would continue to fight fiercely for power and entanglement with Song Biao on the premise that she was unable to wipe out the new army in Northeast China.
There will only be one result - that is, the Qing government will completely lose control of the three eastern provinces. Even territorial rights.
She was too old and tired to do such a stupid and embarrassing thing before she died.
In short, regardless of whether the Qing government is willing to accept this fact, the fact is very clear. At this time, Song Biao was recognized by all countries as the leader of the three eastern provinces. This posture, which was almost equivalent to territorial autonomy and separatist rule, allowed Song Biao to actually control
All power in the three eastern provinces. He was already the king of the Northeast before the Qing Dynasty.
After this series of small struggles, Song Biao also knew this. He was the unyielding king of the Northeast. Only when the Northeast develops well will he have the opportunity to take a big step forward.
…
Before officially setting off for Dalian to discuss the financial issues of the three eastern provinces, Song Biao set up several permanent agencies within the governor's office that went beyond the regular official regulations of the Qing Empire. In addition to the Secretariat, he also established the New Political Bureau, the Research Bureau, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
Administration, Defense Bureau.
In his political planning, these five permanent agencies all have very important powers. The Secretariat maintains the daily operation of the Governor's Mansion, handles documents and confidential work, and special work; the New Government Bureau is responsible for formulating new policies and introducing new laws.
It has various departments to monitor the implementation of various new policies in the three provinces; the research bureau is equivalent to a think tank, which collects statistical data, studies countermeasures, and inspects domestic and foreign industrial and economic development.
development policy; the official Russian and English translation of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange is the "Foreign Citizens Administration Bureau of the Three Northeastern Provinces", which is responsible for issuing naturalization certificates, residence permits, and other special temporary residence permits to foreign citizens and immigrants in the three Northeastern provinces.
Including statistics on the total number of foreign citizens in the three northeastern provinces. Implementing appropriate foreign skilled immigration and investment immigration absorption policies, and even including targeted invitations of foreign experts to work in the three northeastern provinces.
The Defense Bureau is the most special one among the five agencies. It has three functions. First, it is an intelligence agency, collecting military intelligence in various places; second, it has jurisdiction over local police and militia organizations, and is a soft military management agency;
The third is to be nominally responsible for the construction of the New Army. That is to say, on the surface, the governors of the three northeastern provinces are in charge of the Northeast New Army through the Defense Bureau, rather than the commander of the Northeast New Army supervising all military and political affairs in the entire three northeastern provinces.
The Defense Bureau is actually the newly established Third Staff Office of the New Northeast Army, but it just has a different brand name hanging outside.
After designing the entire institutional system for his own power agencies, Song Biao must gradually establish these institutions and maintain good operation. But before that, he must give priority to solving the problem of financial power, and before going to Dalian
, he must also handle the issue of steady construction of the Northeast New Army.
Because the Northeastern New Army was the foundation for Song Biao to establish his foothold in the three eastern provinces.
At this time, the Northeastern New Army has already launched the second phase of training.
According to the plan, Song Biao will make simultaneous efforts in the second phase of training from four aspects: equipment adjustment, personnel allocation, soldier training, and non-commissioned officer education to promote the comprehensive development of the Northeast New Army in the general direction of "rapid, mobile, and fierce attack."
After the second phase of training, the Northeastern New Army will formally establish six infantry regiments, two artillery regiments, two cavalry regiments, a command regiment, a transportation regiment, and an engineering regiment. The Russian army's attached troops will be reduced to one infantry regiment.
, a cavalry brigade, an artillery brigade, the original Russian Army Chapter 116 and additional work. Of course, in the process of cooperating with the Russian staff officers, Song Biao and the six officers of the Second Staff Office were also constantly learning.
Colonel Martos came over soon. As he passed through the corridor, his buckskin military boots with iron nails would keep making a clanging sound on the ground, but he was a particularly thin man, so
As for when strong winds blow from the northeast, people feel as if they can be blown away by the wind.
When he saw Colonel Martos, Song Biao stood up to greet him personally and invited Colonel Martos to sit down at his desk.
Song Biao was never the kind of person who was procrastinating. He asked directly: "Colonel Artur Krznovik Martos, are you a Polish or a Russian?"
Colonel Martos was slightly startled. He had not thought clearly about what Song Biao wanted to talk to him about, and he had not expected this kind of question.
He thought for a moment and asked Song Biao: "What do you think, General?"
Song Biao sat comfortably in the chair, playing with the gold ruble coin with the double-headed eagle logo that he had captured in Hunjiang River in his hand, and thought for a moment before saying: "Obviously he is Polish."
Colonel Martos thought for a while and replied cautiously: "That's true, but to a certain extent, I am also a citizen of the Tsarist Russian Empire. It depends on what you think."
Song Biao continued to ask: "If you had the opportunity to restore Poland's freedom, would you do it?"
At this time, Colonel Martos had roughly understood what Song Biao meant, and said with a smile: "Of course you will do so, what about you? Now you want to summon some anti-Russian soldiers to restore the freedom and sovereignty of the Northeast.
War on Russia?"
Song Biao said: "My situation is obviously better than yours. At least my country has not yet been destroyed. Of course, I am just laughing at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps. This is one of our proverbs.
It was during the defeat of the war that a man who ran away fifty steps laughed at the man in front of him who ran away a hundred steps, calling him a coward."
Colonel Martos sighed: "In the past year, I have become more and more aware of the long history and culture of your country. There should be countless such proverbs and stories in your culture. Each of them is very wise. Adding up
It represents the long history and profound heritage of this nation. So, many times I really don’t understand why your nation is ruled by the Manchus?”
Song Biao replied: "Just as Russia was once ruled by Mongolia, before the rapid development of muskets, cavalry was always the king of the land. Greece once created a very brilliant human civilization, but before the sword and shield of the Roman Empire. They
It was still conquered. For us Han people, with the advent of new weapons,
With the development of the times, the overthrow of the Manchu rule by the Han people is actually an immediate matter. For the Poles, when they can achieve national victory, I am afraid it will require more strength and luck. If possible, I will support Poland
Man’s dream of a free country. Just like you once helped me so generously.”
Colonel Martos said frankly: "With all due respect, I actually have basically no hope for the establishment of an independent Poland. Instead of being a weak country sandwiched between Russia and Germany, I would rather Poland become part of a powerful empire."
, instead of suffering the devastation of war. War is cruel, and Japan always needs to pay a huge price. And for Poland
Come on, this price is indeed too high. But compared to Russia, which is strong on the outside and indomitable on the inside, I prefer Poland to be a part of the German Empire. Of course, I am very grateful for your kindness. If one day, there is really a Polish who is willing to fight for freedom
, I will definitely give him all my support and expectations, and if you are willing to support him, I will be particularly grateful."
Song Biao suggested: "Let's just start thinking of a way from now on. I don't know how many Polish soldiers there are in the Russian Imperial Army. If there is a certain number, I hope you can find a way to contact some of them and gradually replace the staff officers."
A Russian officer in the first place.”
Colonel Martos thought about it for a while and asked: "Are you dissatisfied with the Russian staff officers in the First Staff Office? With all due respect, the staff officers of the Russian army are generally of this level. This place is pretty good, I guess.
You are also quite aware that when the New Manchuria Infantry Division was formed and later the Fourteenth Army was formed, the Far East Army had already deployed the best staff officers to assist you."
Song Biao thought for a moment and said: "We still have to consider the long term and special circumstances!"
Colonel Martos pursed his lips slightly, indicating that he could generally understand what Song Biao meant, and said: "Theoretically, there should be no problem. Most of the graduates of the Warsaw Army School are Polish. However, the school is currently under the restrictions of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
, many subjects are outdated. It will take me a while to select some suitable Polish lieutenants to serve as staff officers, or we may hire some from France and Germany."
Song Biao said: "There is no rush at the moment, just complete the replacement before and after the third period of training."
There are a total of nine officers in the First Staff Office, which is composed of middle and senior staff officers of the Russian army. Colonel Martos and Colonel Pajrov are the main staff officers, followed by Lieutenant Colonel von Eske and several other old troops who are temporarily staying as staff officers.
officer, as well as Lieutenant Colonel Turvanier and Lieutenant Tonokov.
Lieutenant Tonokov is definitely a weird thing here. Although he graduated from the Moscow Military Academy, he always tried to find a way to stay in the logistics force soon after the war began. After being captured by Song Biao's troops, he also
He has always refused to return to the Russian army, preferring to stay in Niujiapu and work as a teacher.
In the end, Song Biao could only prove that he had indeed been seriously injured during the Japanese attack and had been recuperating in Niujiapu. He was not considered a deserter. Only then could he avoid being punished by the Russian army. After being promoted to lieutenant due to his military qualifications, he
He continued to stay in the Northeastern New Army as an instructor, and was responsible for handling some chores with Lieutenant Colonel Turvanier in the Staff Office, doing some work related to mathematical calculations and logistics material statistics, and his performance was actually very good.
No one can be underestimated easily.
Song Biao used to think that Lieutenant Tonokov was the worst type in the Russian army, a complete waste among soldiers. Now he discovered that he also had special skills, but he just refused to go to the battlefield and die, because all Russian lieutenants had service records.
, which contains the other party’s transcript from the sergeant school.
If you just look at his transcript, Lieutenant Tonokov is considered an excellent non-commissioned officer.
Among the Russian officers in the First Staff Office, seven of them, including Lieutenant Colonel Turvanel and Lieutenant Tonokov, are replaceable. Only Colonel Martos and Colonel Pajrov are really very capable.
, if the two of them were replaced, the level of the entire staff department would plummet by several levels. Colonel Pakilov's attainments in the field of artillery are indeed unique. Not only is he rich in practical experience, he has a high level of command, and his theoretical level is also at a high level.
.
There is no such person not only in China now, but also in Japan now. During the Battle of Liaoyang, two Japanese artillery brigades were defeated by one artillery brigade of Pakilov. Even Song Biao had to admire them.
In the military field, Song Biao did not understand four things: one did not understand the navy, the other did not understand the air force, the third did not understand the cavalry, and the fourth did not understand the artillery.
He only knows how to be an infantryman.
People are always learning and making progress. After all, Song Biao is still very young. He also keeps learning every day, especially learning about cavalry and artillery operations, command knowledge, and constantly accumulating experience in this area, because Russian
Song Biao has maintained a very good personal relationship with Brigadier General Alexeyevich Brusilov and Colonel Grigorovich Pakilov. He often discusses, studies and makes up for himself with them.
shortcomings.
Artillery is important, there is no doubt about it. The cavalry was still very important at least before World War II. In the development of modern warfare, the first time the cavalry was weakened was the birth of the Minie rifle. The second time was the Mark
The large-scale use of Qin machine guns, the third time was tanks and modern motorization, the first two times only abolished the cavalry's frontal charge tactics, and the latter time completely eliminated the cavalry from the historical stage.
Before the emergence of tanks and modern motorization, even if the cavalry's frontal charge tactics could not be used, the cavalry's speed and mobility were still very important. Especially considering the special circumstances of Mongolia, Xinjiang, Taiwan and other regions, the cavalry still had at least one in China.
During the fifty years of the Silver Age, China and Russia were very similar in this regard. Cavalry was too important.
Without cavalry, China would have no way to control Mongolia and Xinjiang. Even in Japan, plateau cavalry is still the most important armed force.
Even though Song Biao didn't understand cavalry at all, he had a very thorough understanding of this aspect. After withdrawing from the Liaodong Peninsula, he had already begun to build cavalry and established three horse breeding stations in Hunjiang and Hunchun.
, introduced Don horses and Orlov horses, used Anglo-style military horses captured from the Japanese army and local Mongolian horses to breed war horses on site, and hired breeding experts from Russia to breed excellent medium-sized horses that can be used as both drafts and riding horses.
After becoming the governor of the three eastern provinces, he also began to control the Dalinghe Racecourse and Yingkou Racecourse, which were traditionally operated by the Qing government. Based on the Mongolian war horses carefully selected by the Manchus for many years, he introduced a large number of Orlov horses and Anglo-Norman horses.
Make improvements.
In this regard, he has already received support from Russia and France. This time he will go to Dalian to formally sign an agreement with the two countries on this matter, and hire Russian and French experts to start large-scale training of local excellent draft and riding horses, and cultivate them as soon as possible.
Get the Kanto horse he wants.
He expected that excellent draft horses would be very important to China's military affairs over a long period of time. For a country like China, the possibility of large-scale use of motorized transportation of materials would be within fifty years.
These are all impossible to achieve, and the only way is to rely on vast pastures to provide a large number of military horses.
Song Biao also consulted Brigadier General Brusilov on many aspects regarding the training of military horses.
Before officially setting off to Dalian to discuss the financial rights of the three eastern provinces and railway issues, Song Biao hosted a banquet at the guest house for the Russian Army Advisory Group and the main Russian generals from the Far East Military Academy. First, he thanked everyone for their support and help to him in the past.
, and secondly, I hope everyone will continue to work hard and continue to provide as much help as possible.
After negotiating with Colonel Martos about the First Staff Office, Song Biao and Colonel Martos went to the guest house for a dinner. The Northeastern New Army wanted to quickly surpass the Beiyang Army and become the most powerful local military force in China. Far East Noncommissioned Officer
If the school wants to surpass the Japanese Army NCO School and become the best Army NCO School in Asia, it will continue to rely on these Russian generals to a large extent.
After all, the so-called Cai E and Jiang Fangzhen have just graduated from the non-commissioned officer school. It is unrealistic to place high hopes on them now. Even though they have experienced more training in the Russo-Japanese War, they have also gained more experience in working with Russian generals.
Great progress, but there is still a long way to go compared to the height Song Biao hopes to reach.
This dinner was basically Russian style. We bought a lot of good wine and spent a lot of money on Song Biao. The more than 20 school-level officers present were basically familiar to Song Biao from his old department, Lieutenant Colonel von Eske, Alex
Lieutenant Colonel Sandrovitch Neznamov... these people all fought countless tough battles with Song Biao.
Obviously, without them there would have been no great victory in the Battle of Liaoyang.
The dinner lasted for a long time, and everyone was very happy. Song Biao said a lot of very warm words. Finally, everyone gave a very thick red envelope, which was regarded as a Christmas gift and this year's final bonus. On average, each person was six
More than a hundred rubles.
The next day, Song Biao continued to entertain the generals of his headquarters for dinner. In addition to Zhao Tingzhu, Yang Tiesheng, generals promoted from the old headquarters, and cadets studying in Japan, there were also nearly forty people. Just those who had recently returned from Japan and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huguangjiao
There is
Ten people, including talented young non-commissioned officers like Fu Liangzuo and Chen Qicai, as well as old friends like Lao Jintou and Lao Guotou, opened eight tables in the guest house, and everyone finally gave a New Year's Day gift. On average, every
More than four hundred silver yuan per person.
After the war between Zhao and Song ended, Song Biao firmly controlled the military and civilian financial power of the three eastern provinces. He was naturally very happy, especially after Yinchang visited him in the military camp for a few days, and it was confirmed that there was unlikely to be a governor-general dispute in the future.
Therefore, at the two reception banquets, Song Biao announced on the spot that all generals and lieutenants of the Northeast New Army and instructors of the Far East Military Academy would receive an additional year-end allowance. Soldiers also received it, but the amount of allowance for officers was more generous.
For soldiers, it is equivalent to an extra month of military pay.
Warlords kill people like crazy and spend money like water. As long as their military power is stable, isn't it easy to make money?
What's more, this warlord is His Excellency Song Biao. (This website...your support is my biggest motivation.) Qunshuyuan.qunshuyuan.
