After Zhang Xiluan handed over the power of public security, he suddenly became unmotivated. An old man who was over 70 years old had already reached the age of spoiling his grandson. Why should he suffer in Fengtian? The old man immediately sent his resignation to Yuan Shikai in Beijing.
This was the third time in a year that the old man had resigned, and Lao Yuan had to worry about the candidate for Governor Fengtian.
Zhang Xiluan was disheartened, but Zhang Zuolin was very enthusiastic. He won Zhang Zuoxiang such a temporary position as a security assistant. It seems that letting a dignified major general take charge of this was overqualified. But everyone knew that Lao Zhang did not fight for Zhang Zuoxiang.
The final executor of this power is Zhang Tinglan.
During this period, Zhang Tinglan helped Lao Zhang make plans. Seeing that the strength of the 27th Division was getting stronger and stronger, Lao Zhang wanted to thank the heroes, so he asked Zhang Zuoxiang to take the lead and leave all specific matters to Zhang Tinglan.
It can also be regarded as an experience for him.
Every father wants to see his son succeed. Zhang Zuoxiang saw his son rising up among the 27th Division and felt very proud. There were eight of them sworn brothers, and the second generation is now in their teens and twenties.
, after all, among these juniors, it was his son who was the first to show amazing abilities. How could Zhang Zuoxiang not be happy?
However, Zhang Zuoxiang is also a smart man. He can't just be happy about everything. As the saying goes, if he talks poorly, he can't do things well. He still needs to give some guidance to his son.
"Tinglan, if you have any ideas on how to improve public security in Fengtian, please tell me."
"Dad, you are always in charge of this, so I won't interfere."
"Don't think about it, all these troubles are caused by your kid, you have to take care of it for me, or take care of me!" Zhang Zuoxiang said, waving the big pipe in his palm.
Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and said: "Dad, actually I really want to take advantage of the opportunity of rectifying public security to bring peace to Fengtian City. Without a stable environment, business cannot develop and economic construction is impossible. I summarized, Fengtian's
There are five kinds of cancers in public security, namely subordinate officials, gangsters, ronin, clan members and ruffians. If these five cancers are not eliminated, there will never be peace in Fengtian."
The so-called subordinate officials are those low-level officials. Most of them are inherited from the Qing Dynasty. These people do not understand democracy and republic at all. They still do things the same way as during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They are all good at exploiting the people and they are harming the people.
The vanguard.
The gangs are easier to understand. This has been inherited from the Qing Dynasty. The government and the gangs are two sides of the same coin. If the government is weak and unable to effectively manage the place, the power of the gangs will skyrocket. This was the case throughout the Republic of China. The situation in Shanghai
The red gang tycoons can even fight against the government.
As for clans and ronin, they are unique to Fengtian. The Japanese covet this place. The old and young people from the Manchu Qing Dynasty try to split the country. They frequently make troubles, which poses a huge threat to Fengtian's public security.
Among these five cancers, the most troublesome are the rogue soldiers. To put it bluntly, they are the Qiu Ba uncles of the 27th Division. As we all know, Lao Zhang made his fortune by relying on bandits. The soldiers under his command are also mixed, and the military pay provided by Beiyang is not sufficient.
Then you can only do it yourself.
Therefore, soldiers in twos and threes often roam the streets. They extort businessmen, set up checkpoints, collect protection fees, and even sell drugs. The subordinates of the 27th Division are involved in these things, so the reputation of the 27th Division is not good, but this
It is almost a common problem among soldiers in this era, and it is difficult to eliminate.
The five points summarized by Zhang Tinglan hit the point directly. Zhang Zuoxiang knew very well that there was nothing wrong with what he said, but he knew that seeing it clearly did not mean that he could solve it.
"What you said, Tinglan, is correct, but some of these five cancers cannot be touched. Do you know that?"
"Dad, are you talking about soldiers and gangsters?"
"Yes, I feel ashamed to say it. When I first joined Fengtian, I was very strict with my subordinates. Anyone who violated military disciplines would be severely punished. But after a period of time, the army's income was insufficient, and we could not let these old brothers starve.
Come on, I will just open one eye or close one."
Zhang Zuoxiang was indeed a kind man, and he was not afraid of embarrassment to his son, so he told the whole story about this issue.
"Relatively speaking, the discipline of my artillery regiment is pretty good. Tang Yulin's 53rd Brigade is the most serious problem, and a large number of his soldiers are involved in the opium trade. Although it is despicable, the profits are indeed huge. We
If these military leaders can't make the lives of their soldiers better, who will listen to you!"
Zhang Tinglan knew very well that what his father said was from the bottom of his heart. In fact, the large-scale rectification of discipline in the Fengxian faction began when Wang Yongjiang came to power. At that time, because Wang Yongjiang, Tang Yulin and Zhang Zuolin completely fell out, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Jinghui and others
They all advocated the removal of Wang Yongjiang, which was one of the few conflicts between Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Zuolin.
The reason was that Wang Yongjiang was rectifying the public order in Fengtian and rectifying the ruffians who were behaving recklessly. This was undoubtedly cutting flesh on the bodies of these bandit leaders, so everyone was opposed to it.
"Dad, I know what you mean. The main direction of the rectification this time is still on the ronin, the clan and the gangsters. I can't mess with the gangsters. But I also want to say that the army is the army, and there must be strict rules.
Discipline, without discipline there is no combat effectiveness at all. The Seventh Master is also a man with great ambitions. Sooner or later he will rectify his subordinates. This is also the general trend. If you want the 27th Division to become truly strong, this is an inevitable step."
Zhang Zuoxiang nodded slightly, but there was also a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's easier said than done. It hurts to cut yourself off." Zhang Zuoxiang smiled bitterly: "Tinglan, do you look down on dad?
"
"Dad, what are you always talking about? Is there anyone in the world who is closer than father and son? After I rectify the public security this time, I will immediately use Sihailiang as the center to build the framework of the North Market. I will stay
We will give enough shares to allow all the people in the artillery regiment to live a comfortable life, but with this income, they will not be forgiven if they continue to do evil."
Zhang Zuoxiang's eyes suddenly lit up. His son was really a scheming person. Taking this into consideration, Zhang Zuoxiang was completely relieved: "Tinglan, don't worry, these bastards have enough to eat and drink. If they dare to be dishonest, they are looking for death."
, I won’t be polite either.”
Zhang Tinglan had almost communicated with his father, and he had drawn out 500 elite soldiers from the artillery regiment, and was ready to show off his skills. At this time, the Jew Fred sent another good news. A batch of Russian artillery fire was about to pass through Fengtian.
, he asked Zhang Tinglan to get ready.
Arms! Zhang Tinglan was extremely excited when he heard these two words. The thing that is currently restricting the development of the 27th Division is arms. As long as this shortcoming is made up, the future of Fengjun will be bright.
Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang were also notified, and they were overjoyed. Zhang Zuolin selected the two hundred most reliable soldiers, and they quietly came to the Civil Service Station, where Fred was already waiting.
"Zhang, there are a total of 800 water rifles and 200,000 bullets this time. You can stay!"
"Mr. Fred, you are always able to bring us good news. You have also brought us the goods you asked us to prepare." As he spoke, a large group of carriages appeared outside the station, and these carriages were filled with soju.
, Kanto’s sorghum wine.
Fred also opened a jar of wine with great interest. A strong aroma pierced his nostrils. He took a sip and felt as if his throat and stomach were on fire. He felt indescribably comfortable.
It was definitely first-class high-quality shochu. Fred seemed to have seen these shochu turn into a lot of money, and he stretched out his thumb.
"Zhang, such good wine will definitely drive those drunkards crazy. No matter how much they are, they can be easily sold."
Fred was extremely satisfied with the wine, while Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang were staring at the water rifle unloaded from the carriage at this time, with a kind of fanaticism surging in their eyes.
