Ma Longtan listened to Zhang Tinglan's introduction and said unhappily: "I beg your pardon, is this a plan made by Yu Ting?"
"No, it was agreed upon by Chief of Staff Yang and I."
"The murderous spirit is too strong, and you have to keep a thin line in everything. The same goes for the Revolutionary Party. You young people may not understand, but I have seen too much. Now the Southern Revolutionary Party is winning one after another. If they really replace Lao Yuan, naturally
They will settle accounts with us, why bother making a sworn enemy? Just defeat them."
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Ma Longtan suppressed the actions of the revolutionary party many times and even killed many revolutionary party members. However, as he got older and older, the Confucian mediocrity in his heart became more and more dominant, and China's future situation
How, no one can tell, so he is unwilling to go on a killing spree. It is precisely because of his thoughts that the Revolutionary Party can continue to grow.
Zhang Tinglan has always believed that some things can be compromised and tolerated, while some things are absolutely non-negotiable. The revolutionary party's attempt to start an uprising in Fengtian and mess up its home base has exceeded Zhang Tinglan's red line and is absolutely unforgivable.
"My nephew believes that the task of eradicating evil must be done, and we must eradicate the root. The revolutionaries and Japan are unclear. As long as there are remaining forces, chaos may occur at any time. The local area is uneasy. How can Fengtian develop its economy? I think decisive action must be taken.
, I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go!"
When Ma Longtan saw that Zhang Tinglan insisted on his own opinion, the old man was also a little unhappy. Originally, Zhang Zuolin sent troops to Fengcheng, and he was very dissatisfied. Even if there was a slight rebellion by the revolutionary party, there was no need for Zhang Zuolin to send so many troops. How could he, Malongtan, handle it?
Nothing?
After all, I still don't trust him and want to seize his power. Thinking of this, Ma Longtan felt very unhappy: "I'd like to say, since you think the matter is serious, then it's up to you to handle it. I'll just ask the local government to cooperate with you."
After Ma Longtan finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and put on a posture of seeing off guests. Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting had to say goodbye. After returning to the camp, Yang Yuting frowned: "I'm sorry, it seems that we have been treated as bad guests."
Ah, Commander Ma doesn’t welcome you.”
"Linge, welcome comes second. What I'm worried about is the attitude of Malongtan. The east side road is close to North Korea, and the southernmost end is Luda. It happens to be surrounded by Japanese forces, and it is also the most severely penetrated by Japan.
However, Malongtan is not vigilant enough, and there will be other hidden dangers in the area."
As if to prove Zhang Tinglan's judgment, just when they returned to the military camp, a staff officer sent news that large-scale civil unrest occurred in the Xiuyan area near Fengcheng, and hungry people smashed and looted grain stores and various stores.
A large warehouse with a scale of several thousand people.
After receiving the news, Yang Yuting said with a serious face: "I'm sorry, civil unrest at this time always makes people feel uneasy."
Zhang Tinglan was also alert. They took out the map. Zhang Tinglan pointed with her hand: "Next to Ge, Xiuyan is adjacent to Fengcheng on one side and adjacent to Zhuang River on the other. The location is very important. Once something goes wrong here, it will affect the situation."
To the whole of Liaodong."
"That's right. If this is a simple civil unrest, it's easy to deal with. All you need to do is appease it. But if there is a revolutionary party behind it, it will be really troublesome."
Yang Yuting's worries are not unreasonable. Although the revolutionary parties in the past were full of enthusiasm, their strategies were poor and they often acted recklessly, so it was not difficult to deal with them. However, this time they were not in a hurry to start an uprising. If they knew how to instigate civil unrest again, they would attract more people.
Feng Jun's attention proves that the Revolutionary Party's style of conduct has changed and that it deserves more caution.
"Humble words, I suggest that we take the initiative to go to Xiuyan, settle the civil unrest, and then use Xiuyan as our base camp to find out the situation of the Revolutionary Party first, and then seize the opportunity to eliminate them in one fell swoop. As for Fengcheng, there are heavy troops from Malongtan
Just keep watch and there shouldn't be any problems."
Zhang Tinglan agreed to Yang Yuting's proposal and took the initiative to resign from Ma Longtan the next day to go to Xiuyan to resolve the civil unrest. Ma Longtan was happy to send them away, so he sent his staff officer Zhao Pei to follow them to help them coordinate relations between all parties.
.
Zhang Tinglan led his army on a starry and night journey to Xiuyan. Xiuyan is located in the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is especially famous for its rich production of Xiuyan jade.
Entering the territory of Xiuyan, Zhang Tinglan felt that something was wrong. It seemed that the people here were very resistant to the army. Since the establishment of the Independent Brigade, the discipline has been very good. It can be said that Qiu has done nothing wrong. Why do these people seem to have a lot of ambitions?
The resentment is not welcome at all!
"Captain Zhang, Xiuyan is different from other places." Zhao Pei said with a wry smile: "Xiuyan's jade is famous all over the world. The Qing government sent a large number of garrison troops. Now more than 90% of Xiuyan is Manchu.
We Han troops all have conflicts, so when you come to Xiuyan to do things, you have to be careful not to cause trouble."
"Trouble? The Manchu nobles have made the world a mess. It's good that we didn't cause trouble for them. If we still dare to cause trouble, we are looking for death."
Having said this, Zhang Tinglan looked at Zhao Pei again, and then asked: "Counsel Zhao, how many Manchus have made trouble in Xiuyan in the past few years? How are they dealt with?"
As soon as Zhao Pei heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he knew that the young regiment leader was very murderous. He did not dare to hide anything, so he could only tell the truth: "Ordinary Manchus are fine. They are not much different from us Han people. There are only a few big Eight Banners."
The nobles are all from the former Qing Dynasty, with yellow belts and red belts. They are very restless. I heard that they have joined some socialist party."
As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard the word "Zongshe Party", her head buzzed, and she immediately knew that things were going to be bad. Yang Yuting also had a look of horror in his eyes. Both of them knew very well that the Revolutionary Party and the Japanese were inextricably linked.
There are many connections, and the Zongshe Party was founded by the Japanese.
Now the Zhuanghe Revolutionary Party is contacting everywhere, and the Zongshe Party will probably join them. In addition, there are Japanese instigators behind it. Once it breaks out, it will definitely be a big trouble.
"Counsellor Zhao, since there are Clan Socialist Party activities in Xiuyan, why didn't Governor Ma take decisive action? Fengtian also arrested Shanqi and Shengyun some time ago. These people are bent on restoring the monarchy. None of them are good.
How can we let them do whatever they want?"
Faced with Zhang Tinglan's questioning, Zhao Pei looked embarrassed and hesitated to say anything. When Zhang Tinglan saw Zhao Pei's look, he guessed the reason. This was probably because Malongtan was deliberately waterproofed.
These old people who came from the Qing Dynasty all believed that they were deeply favored by the Qing Dynasty. They had a love for incense, so they indulged in the activities of the General Socialist Party. Take Shanqi and Shengyun for example, Zhang Tinglan caught them
After they were squeezed dry, they were sent to Beijing. Many officials from the Beiyang government came forward to intercede. After a delay, these two guys were released again.
Yuan Shikai is still like this, let alone Malongtan. In fact, this is also Zhang Tinglan's poor history. During the period when Yuan Shikai came to the throne, the Clan Socialist Party actively expanded its army with the support of the Japanese. There were people in the Japanese government and opposition parties who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and instigate
Full** stands.
It was only later that Lao Yuan died, and the Japanese changed their tune and supported Zhang Zuolin. The Manchurian independence was suppressed. However, the current situation is different. Due to Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Zuolin did not completely switch to Japan. On the contrary, he was still fighting against Japan.
Carry out soft resistance and restrict Japan's expansion of power everywhere.
Therefore, many people in the Japanese government and opposition parties advocate using the Socialist Party to launch riots and split the three northeastern provinces.
Although Zhang Tinglan didn't know this period of history, he was also very clear that the current situation was very bad. Not only the Revolutionary Party, but also the Socialist Party had joined in, so he ordered the army to speed up the march. They had been out for more than a day, and another news came.
, there were five to six thousand hungry people. They besieged the Xiuyan County Government Office. A large number of police guards were injured or even killed. The situation almost got out of hand.
"Ling Ge, Staff Officer Zhao and I will rush to Xiuyan immediately with the vanguard troops. You will follow with the large troops. At the same time, you must report the situation to the commander in chief and ask him to be prepared. Once there is trouble in southern Liaoning, ask him to immediately
Send troops to support."
Yang Yuting also knew that the matter was serious and said hurriedly: "I'd like to say that in troubled times, we need to use heavy codes. At times like this, we must be ruthless." Zhang Tinglan also nodded in agreement.
Zhao Pei also knew that the matter was serious and hurriedly led the way. Zhang Tinglan led three hundred soldiers and a sniper platoon, each with two horses, and rushed to Xiuyan County.
After running for a day, Xiuyan County finally appeared in front of him. Zhang Tinglan didn't care about the lack of people and horses, and rushed directly into the city. He saw dozens of people in fancy clothes guarding the city gate, holding various kinds of weapons in their hands.
The rifle looks like it is not a regular army.
They saw Zhang Tinglan rushing over with his cavalry, and one of the leaders jumped out and blocked Zhang Tinglan's way.
"Which army are you from? Stop immediately, you are not allowed to enter Xiuyan!"
"Yes, you corrupt officials just want to steal our food, but you are not allowed in."
This gang of gangsters turned out to be more arrogant than the regular army. Zhang Tinglan's face was gloomy. Looking at the current situation, he didn't know whether Xiuyan had fallen into the hands of this gang of thieves, but Zhang Tinglan would not be polite.
He waved his hand behind him, and gunshots rang out immediately. Tian Mu shot the leading guy off the Tianling Cover. At a distance of dozens of steps, the group of people stood still. It was too easy to shoot them. Soon
These guys have all turned into corpses.
Zhang Tinglan quickly rushed into Xiuyan with his soldiers. At this time, Xiuyan County was already in chaos, with thousands of people besieging several blocks where the county government was located.
Xiuyan's military police were guarding the area inside, but their situation was not good. Among the refugees outside, there were five to six hundred gun-wielding thugs mixed in. Their number was five times that of the military and police.
They mingled among the people, using ordinary people as cover, and pointed their guns at the military and police. Once they opened fire, it was doubtful whether the military and police could hold on.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a black cloth robe jumped up to a high platform and shouted to all the refugees: "Fathers and brothers, look at it, they Han people are in power, the warehouses are full of food, and they don't give any food at all."
Let us Manchus share a little bit, they want to starve us to death. We used to rule them, but now that they have gained power, they will punish us. We, young and old, are all descendants of the Eight Banners. We cannot let others bully us. Let’s drive away the Han people together.
, we have the final say in Manchuria!"
After this guy yelled for a while, many people shouted loudly, and some thugs pointed their guns at the military police in the encirclement and were about to shoot.
At this time, they suddenly heard a burst of rapid gunfire from outside the city. The group of people were all frightened and confused. They didn't know what had happened. At this time, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came. Xiuyan County is not big. Zhang Tinglan took
The subordinates rushed in.
From afar, he noticed a huge crowd of people, surrounding the county government office. Seeing this, Zhang Tinglan breathed a sigh of relief, at least the county seat did not completely fall into the hands of these people.
However, what followed was rage. If Xiuyan arrived a little later, the weather would change. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan waved his hand unceremoniously, and his cavalry were swept towards the crowd like a gust of wind.
They all opened fire at the same time, and dense bullets were fired at the rebellious crowd. Dozens of people were killed in no time, and blood flowed all over the ground. As they got closer and closer to the crowd, the cavalry did not slow down and directly collided with them.
on these people.
Immediately, countless people were knocked away and fell heavily to the ground. Their arms and legs were broken, and their parents screamed everywhere. The guys who were leading the clamor just now were also dumbfounded. This cavalry...
As if emerging from hell, killing people is like cutting melons and vegetables, without mercy at all! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
