After the Manchu rulers seized control of China, in order to leave a way out for future generations, in the name of protecting the Longxing Land, they took measures to block the Northeast and built the famous Willow Edge, which separated millions of square kilometers of fertile wilderness.
It was closed and Han people were not allowed to develop it.
This policy started from Huang Taiji and lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty, resulting in a terrible situation in which the Northeast region had vast fertile fields but an empty population. Tsarist Russia took advantage of the situation and annexed the outer Northeast, extending its claws into the Northeast. Even the Koreans
Crossed the Yalu River and entered the Northeast for extensive reclamation.
The border crisis between the Manchu and Qing Dynasties became more and more serious, and they had to start immigrating to the border areas. The population in the Northeast region began to grow significantly, but the lost territory was irreversible.
This is the sin of the Manchu rule. From the bottom of their hearts, the Manchu nobles did not regard themselves as part of this country. Their defense against millions of Han people was far better than foreign invasion. Those emperors who were wise and powerful in the braid drama
In fact, they are a group of despicable people who always protect the interests of one clan and one surname, treating 40 million compatriots as slaves, and treating thousands of miles of country as private property.
It is precisely for this reason that they can cede the outer northeast, not care about the northwest, or give up Taiwan. Although this is also cutting off their flesh, compared with the original land outside the customs, as long as they continue to occupy the Central Plains, they have already made a lot of money.
This kind of conservative thinking is the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty stubbornly rejects any innovation. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been overthrown, the legacy is still there. Take the three eastern provinces as an example. Due to the late immigration and development, there are almost no various management structures.
The power of the government is extremely weak.
The government and the government are like two halves of a pair of twins, each feeding off the other. When the government's power weakens, green forest gangsters become rampant. Therefore, there are beards everywhere in the Northeast. There are no rules here, only fists.
Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.
Another characteristic of the beards in the Northeast is that there are no professional bandits. Most of the bandits work part-time and cannot support themselves by robbing alone. They also cultivate the land and even run businesses. When they are short of money in their pockets, they cross
Horses wielding guns went everywhere to rob merchants and wealthy merchants.
Of course, there are risks. Those big companies have organized insurance teams, and the bandits may kick themselves on the iron plate. Instead, they will be beaten black and blue by the insurance teams of the big companies. In turn, these insurance teams will turn into bandits and rob the beards.
, as the saying goes, the thief eats the thief, the more you eat, the fatter you get. This is the truth.
When Zhang Zuolin started the uprising, he was under the banner of the insurance team. He was recruited into the regular army, and there were countless small Zhang Zuolin in the local area who still continued this tradition. Of course, the big bandit troubles were gone, but the powerful people from all over the country
Insurance teams are still widely available.
In fact, they don't often do things like robbing families with real swords and guns. A better way to get money is to set up checkpoints. Merchants who come and go must pay honestly. This is the case with the Gao family of the birch bark factory who seized the grain truck. However,
Their family is more arrogant. The main reason is that Mr. Gao has a good son who is a high official in the provincial capital, so no one dares to get into trouble.
However, the Gao family has also encountered people who do not believe in evil. Since Zhang Tinglan began to support Liu Shucheng, a large number of soldiers were directly transferred from the 27th Division to provide protection for the caravan, and they did not care about the previous levels. People came from Huzi.
Yes, now that it is a serious army, why would they care about these local gangsters? The Gao family also knows that people in the army cannot be provoked, so they can only watch.
As the scale of business became larger and larger, more and more goods were transported. A dozen or dozens of carriages filled with goods passed under the eyes of the Gao family. The Gao family drooled when they saw it. According to the usual rules
, this truckload of goods still costs them several oceans.
In total, at least thousands of oceans have slipped away from their hands during this period alone. This is not a small amount of money. The Gao family finally couldn't bear the temptation of huge profits, especially recently when the army no longer escorted them. They felt that
The time has finally come.
On this day, more than twenty grain trucks passed through the birch bark factory again. After the Gao family inquired about it in advance, they sent hundreds of thugs to intercept the grain trucks at once. They also released a supervisor and asked him to go
Fengtian announced that if you want to get the grain truck back, you have to pay. This will be the rule in the future.
Of course, the Gao family also knew that the other party's power was not weak, so they openly offered to ask for half of the other person's tolls. He fully expected that the other party would agree. Who knew that the matter reached Zhang Tinglan's ears, and he immediately became angry, not to mention asking for half.
Even Zhang Tinglan wouldn't give him a cent.
Zhang Tinglan is extremely disgusted with such local forces. They rely on power and bully the villagers, and the social order is corrupted by them. And it is the existence of these local powerful people that prevents the government's power from reaching the lowest level, which is serious.
It affects the government's mobilization ability.
As a modern country, it must have strong administrative capabilities and extend its tentacles to every corner. Therefore, these local tyrants must be eliminated. The situation in Fengtian is already very clear. It will be a matter of time for Zhang Xiluan to leave sooner or later. Lao Zhang will take over.
Fengtian is also the general trend, and even Yuan Shikai may not be able to stop it.
At this point, the entire Fengjun army will have the consciousness to transform from a military force into a political force, and conflicts with local powerful people are inevitable. Besides, the Gao family also has a good son in charge of finance, which in the eyes of others
It is undoubtedly an important position, but in Zhang Tinglan's view, it is a piece of fat. Only by getting the finances in hand can Zhang Xiluan be completely eliminated.
Therefore, after Zhang Tinglan got the news, he was ready to take strong measures to kill chickens and scare monkeys to intimidate Xiao Xiao. He told Zhang Zuolin the news and his thoughts, and Lao Zhang also fully supported it. Gao Ming and Lao Zhang also had many disagreements. He was
Although the people promoted by Zhang Xiluan did not dare to go against the old Zhang Mingzhu, they often caused little troubles and deliberately delayed military pay funds.
Lao Zhang has long disliked him. When he saw that his family dared to rob the grain truck, this was definitely a good opportunity to capture him. Lao Zhang is a man who is good at seizing opportunities. Just a few days ago, with Yang Du
The six gentlemen headed by him established a preparatory committee and began to advocate a constitutional monarchy.
Public opinion suddenly changed direction, which made the shrewd Zhang Zuolin keenly feel that a drastic change was coming. Lao Zhang did not want to miss the opportunity, so he accelerated the fight for power. Financial power has always been coveted by Lao Zhang.
Naturally, you can't let go of the opportunity.
Zhang Zuolin immediately ordered Zhang Tinglan to handle it with full authority. Zhang Tinglan also immediately took action and drew out 300 of the most elite forces from the Armed Police Corps. He personally led it, and Sun Anhu also accompanied him.
In addition, Zhang Tinglan's two little tails Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Tingshu also accompanied him. Ever since Zhang Xueliang became the deputy captain of the Armed Police Corps, he has been hanging out with the Qiu Ba gang every day, having fun riding horses and shooting guns. Now that he heard that he was going to annihilate the Gao family,
Zhang Xueliang immediately became enthusiastic and would follow whatever he said.
"Brother Tinglan, I'm not a child anymore. When we arrested the North Koreans last time, didn't I go with them? Don't worry, I will definitely show my skills."
"There is still me, there is still me, I can't fall behind, Sixth Brother, the two of us can level the Lao Gao family!"
Zhang Tinglan directly grabbed the riding whip and hit his second brother Zhang Tingshu on the head: "I tell you two, don't take Lao Gao's family for granted. After all, he is a powerful man who dominates the place. He has hundreds of thugs.
It's not something that those North Koreans can compare to. I tell you two, you can follow me, but you can only watch from a distance, otherwise you have to go back to Fengtian now."
"Young Master, what you said is right. Not only Young Master Xueliang and Second Young Master, but also you should just stay back and watch." Sun Anhu said: "I asked the person who ran away from the Gao Family, and he said that the Gao Family
The controlled birch bark factory is like a small castle. There is a high wall outside, and there is a river protecting the village outside the wall. The Gao family's courtyard is even more solidly built, only stronger than Shengyun's villa.
.”
Zhang Tinglan nodded secretly after listening to the introduction. These people definitely have the potential to be turtles. Why are they so keen on spending time in their lair?
"Uncle An Hu, the more difficult it is to deal with, the better the deterrent effect will be. Although our Armed Police Corps is known as the police, we must also hold ourselves to the standards of the military. This is our first official battle, so we must be clean and beautiful.
, capture the Gao family quickly, and let other people who want to take advantage of us think about it, if they are not afraid of death, just hit the gun!"
Equipped with a lot of horses, the troops moved very quickly. When night fell, they arrived at the outskirts of the birch bark factory. In the distance, they could only see a mist with many houses. The town was still there.
It looks very prosperous.
Sun Anhu immediately commanded his men to surround the town. At this moment, a group of people came out of the town, all holding torches. They were not afraid of the soldiers with live ammunition. The leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties who was carefree.
Man, it looks like he actually wants to negotiate.
As soon as he came out, he shouted loudly: "Thank you for your hard work, bosses. Please don't shoot. We are all a family. My brother Gao Ming is also on duty in Fengtian. In fact, we are all our own people."
As he said this, this guy rode up to Zhang Tinglan and Sun Anhu with a big spur, and smiled at them: "My brothers, there is no need to mobilize troops like this. As long as a piece of paper comes over, we will release the grain truck immediately. Absolutely not
If a grain of grain is lost, I, Gao An, will guarantee my luck for the rest of my life."
"Hmph, if you can let go so easily, why bother robbing the grain truck?"
Gao An narrowed his triangular eyes slightly and said: "Please ask me, boss, our Gao family has always been friends, but you are too unruly. Since your convoy has passed through the birch bark factory many times, the toll has never been high.
I haven’t paid it yet. Others have followed your example and have stopped paying it. Aren’t you just letting hundreds of us drink from the northwest wind?”
Gao An seemed to have been wronged and said: "We are impounding the car this time because we want to invite you here. Let's talk about the rules so that everyone can get along. What do you think?"
The air conditioner makes your head hurt. Book friends, please be careful and don’t fall victim to it.
