Chapter 603: The Pimple Digger

"A few days ago, the imperial court sent Zai Zhen and Xu Shichang to visit the Northeast. It seems that there is a plan to set up a governor to manage several provinces in the Northeast. Needless to say, Zai Zhen, Xu Ju people still have real talents." Guo Songling said, "Xu Ju people are here Traveling thousands of miles in the Northeast, I asked about every detail, and after returning home, I wrote a letter of 100,000 words, and I have a clear understanding of how to govern the Northeast."

Zai Zhen is a waste. Of course, there are not many Manchu clans who are considered wastes now. This guy will soon be impeached and taken away because he accepted Duan Zhigui's bribe to buy a singing girl. Let alone Xu Shichang. capable.

Next year, he will come to Northeast China as the governor, clean up corruption, attract talents, and make the Northeast more colorful. It can be said that Xu Shichang has contributed to the modernization process of the Northeast. If he takes office, there are many things that can be done.

"The letter of 100,000 characters involves various aspects, and we don't care about other places; there is one place where we can find opportunities." Guo Songling said, "Bandits are very serious in Taonan and Tongliao areas, and they have harassed the frontier for several years. , and then vaguely supported by Lao Maozi, after Xu Ju takes office, he will definitely find a way to eliminate the banditry."

"Zai Zhen does not live up to expectations. If there is a governor in the Northeast, it must be from Xu Ju." Shen Long now understands that Guo Songling wants to lead his troops to clear up these bandits, so as to leave a good impression in front of Xu Shichang, so that he can be promoted and expanded. troops.

Logically speaking, this matter should be done by regular soldiers, but what fighting power do Qing soldiers have now? In history, Xu Shichang asked Zhang Zuolin to solve this banditry problem, and Zhang Zuolin was therefore reused. Zhang Zuolin set up an insurance team under the model of Zhang Zuolin. He did not expect to deal with Lao Geda so soon.

He doesn't have enough people under his command now, and Yuanbao Town is also some distance away from Taonan and Tongliao. It is impossible to entrust him with such an important task alone, and Lao Geda will definitely go there when the time comes.

"Yes, according to what I heard, people from Xu Ju might want Zhang Yuting to handle this matter, but I'm thinking, if people from Xu Ju see Chuanwen that you have such a strong soldier under you, they will definitely be tempted." Guo Songling continued.

"Wait until next year, Maochen, you and Chuanwu should graduate too?" Hey, this is a good opportunity to expand your own strength, and it is also an opportunity to recruit Guo Songling. After seeing Shen Long's elite soldiers, Guo Songling would still be willing. What kind of scumbag soldiers are you going to bring?

"I'm starting to make preparations now. If Xu Ju really comes to the governor's northeast, he must be involved in this matter. However, I don't have many people who can lead troops, and I can barely maintain around Yuanbao Town; when we reach the grassland Going up, the troops are scattered, and there are not many officers who can lead troops!" Shen Long looked at Guo Songling, "Mao Chen, would you like to help me?"

"Being able to fight the war is much better than staying idle in Fengtian." According to what Guo Songling heard, he is likely to be assigned to the Shengjing General's Yamen Guard after graduation. This position is coveted by others.

Being close to the water and being able to face each other in front of the general every day will definitely make it easier to get promoted in the future, but Guo Songling wants to fight more.

"Then when we go back, I'll go with you. First clear the way in advance, and it's not appropriate to hug Buddha's feet when Governor Xu arrives." Shen Long was overjoyed when he heard the words, and Guo Songling agreed.

Guo Songling stayed in Yuanbao Town for half a month. He and Zhu Chuanwu spent almost every day in the barracks, either leading the troops for training, or discussing the situation in Northeast China with Shen Long. It's a little strange, Zhu Chuanwen has never been to a foreign country or attended a foreign school, so why is he so familiar with these things?

Half a month later, Shen Long went south to Fengtian with the two of them, and began to go around planning this matter. Shen Long did a good job in Yuanbao Town, and the people who helped him before had good faces. It was even more appropriate, and with Shen Long's generous gift of money, and his pleasant speech, the people in the yamen almost patted their chests to guarantee it.

After returning to Yuanbao Town for a year, it didn’t take long for Xu Shichang to take office in the Northeast. Not long after taking office, Xu Shichang began to plan to clear up the gangsters of the Taonan and Tongliao generations, but the current officers and soldiers in the Northeast are useless, so he just He set his sights on the patrol camp, and under the recommendation of the people in the yamen, Shen Long and Zhang Zuolin entered his vision at the same time.

Zhang Zuolin was originally in the west of Liaoning, he was familiar with the local situation, and he had a lot of people under him. Xu Shichang knew this a long time ago, and he originally intended to let Zhang Zuolin be in charge of this matter, but he had never heard of the name Zhu Chuanwen, so he immediately arranged People went to inquire, and Xu Shichang was overjoyed by the results.

The Yuanbao Town Patrol Battalion has accumulated a lot of military exploits, and Xu Shichang was very satisfied with the investigation results of his men's visit to Yuanbao Town. This Zhu Chuanwen can not only fight, but also restrain his soldiers from harassing the surrounding people. Running a school, in comparison, that old lump is a bit reckless.

Xu Shichang called Zhang Zuolin and Shen Long to Fengtian, and they talked each other for a while. Xu Shichang felt that Zhu Chuanwen was a great talent. He not only knew how to fight, but he was also eloquent when talking about Confucian classics. I'm going to recommend him immediately.

"Chuanwen, it's a pity that your troops are a bit small. If you want to wipe out these bandits, I'm afraid you can't do without three to five thousand people, so you and Yuting have to cooperate with this matter." Xu Shichang made a decision, " That's fine, when the time comes, you will lead the troops from Yuanbao Town to block the north, while Zhang Yuting will advance from the south, and the two of you will attack from both sides."

If these two groups of people get together, it will easily lead to conflicts. It is better to let them fight on their own, "You have a little less troops here, why don't I send you some from other places? Just ask if you need anything else."

"I heard that Sun Liechen from Taonan is familiar with the local terrain. It would be great if he could help me." Shen Long took the opportunity to dig out the old man. In the future, Sun Liechen will be the deputy commander of the Northeast Army, but now, he is just an appeasement battalion That's all for the sentinel, he hasn't joined Zhang Zuolin's command yet, as for Guo Songling and Zhu Chuanwu, that's more of a matter of words.

This is a trivial matter, Xu Shichang agreed without hesitation, and soon called Sun Liechen to Fengtian to belong to Shen Long. Looking at Sun Liechen and Guo Songling, Shen Long was very happy, and now I have dug out the two generals under Lao Geda , I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to become the King of the Northeast in the future.

After discussing the strategy of marching, Shen Long took Sun Liechen, Guo Songling, and Zhu Chuanwu back to Yuanbao Town, and packed up his troops to go west to suppress the bandits.
