Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Comrade Lao Zhang’s Struggle History

Everything has to start from the "Manchuria" (Northeast) which is called the land of Longxing by the bannermen. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan obtained the lease rights of the "South Manchuria Railway" and Luda (Lushun, Dalian) from Russia.This is the origin of the so-called "Manchurian rights and interests". At the beginning, the Japanese were quite clear-headed.Ito Hirobumi, who single-handedly planned the Sino-Japanese War, once said: "Manchuria" is not the territory of Japan, but "Manchuria" is the territory of the Qing Dynasty. This is beyond doubt.

Ito was not kind enough to be the spokesperson of the Qing Dynasty.It’s just that the Japanese politicians who were a little knowledgeable at the time knew that Japan was still not sure if it wanted to monopolize the Northeast. However, the "Manchurian rights" that Japan has acquired must be safeguarded.In other words, they need to find an agent of their own interests in China. Therefore, a list of auditions was made.One of the candidates was named Zhang Zuolin. Let me introduce Lao Zhang's resume. Lao Zhang started his career as a bandit (called Huzi in the Northeast) who robbed and robbed houses. Even among the warlords of the Republic of China, this background is really unspeakable.Compared with Wu Peifu, the direct boss of his old rival, it pales in comparison. He is at the level of a scholar. He has read "Spring and Autumn" like a treasure, and his poems after the Anti-Japanese War are more like Yue Wumu. Ordinary Qiu Badao can sing it out.

Fortunately, the hero does not ask the source.In those days, those who couldn't get along were called bandits, and those who could get along were called bosses. There are two versions of Zhang Zuolin's ancestral home, one is Shandong and the other is Hebei. Anyway, no matter where it is, there is one fact that is very clear: since his grandfather's generation, he has been in the Guandong, and in his generation, he is still in the Guandong. The fate of those generations can be glimpsed in Li Youbin's version. In fact, at the beginning, Kanto did not need to "break through".It is active enrollment.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Northeast was deserted with few people.In order to attract Han people to open up wasteland, the Qing government used all kinds of preferential policies. At that time, there was a clear rule that as long as you arrived in the Northeast, you could treat yourself as if you were staying in a hotel for a meeting in another place, and you didn’t need to bring anything, not even a towel or a toothbrush.The government will provide you with food, land and farm cattle free of charge, on the condition that you must join the local household registration and take root in the Northeast.

You must know that even in modern times, this kind of policy is also a kind of preferential treatment. You don’t need a diploma or qualifications, and in a blink of an eye, you will have a house, tickets, and a car. Where can you find such a good thing? But no one went there. It probably has something to do with the lack of publicity, because the traffic was not developed at that time, it is impossible to organize a special inspection group, drive everyone to the northeast to see for themselves, to see the beauty and richness of the local area. As for making scenery promotional films, even if you have the funds and equipment, you don't necessarily have the awareness.

In addition, Chinese peasants have a deep-rooted concept of rural areas, and they are unwilling to leave their hometowns and leave the land of their ancestors easily.This has created a strange situation where the policy is very favorable, but the masses are not enthusiastic. In order to meet the enrollment target, relevant parties have also introduced corresponding incentive policies for comrades who work diligently on the front line of enrollment, stipulating that whoever can recruit farmers to the Northeast can be an official without even taking the imperial examination. The so-called sincerity brings gold and stone. In the Kangxi period, after more than ten years of promotion, this good policy gradually became known to everyone, and more and more farmers went to the Northeast.

This time it is the turn of the government to be anxious, because the Manchus made their fortunes from the Northeast, and this is their dragon vein.If there are fewer people, it is impossible to grow food, but if there are too many people, the peace of the place will be disturbed, and whether this "pulse" can continue becomes a problem. So the Qing government quickly abolished the policy of recruiting people for land reclamation, and strictly prohibited Han people from moving outside the customs. But in the early years of Jiaqing, God didn't give face, there was a drought here, there was a flood, and even the White Lotus Sect joined in the fun. As a result, people in Hebei, Shandong and other places suffered from hardship.Under such circumstances, a large number of refugees began to flow to the Kanto again, and the government could not stop it. This is the "Crossing the Kanto" that has continued into modern times.

Facts have proved that Comrade Lao Zhang has a glorious historical tradition and a strong revolutionary will in breaking through the Guandong. Throughout his struggling career, there are three words throughout, one is gambling, the other is mixing, and the third is fighting. Gambling is genetic.Zhang's father used to like to discuss skills with others in the casino, but he was careless and owed his gambling debts and died.Due to such subtle education and influence for a long time, Lao Zhang himself has a soft spot for gambling.From childhood to adulthood, he has worked in many positions, including peddler, carpenter, veterinarian, horse groomer, soldier, etc., but in the end he rolled the dice and chose the good-sounding and bad-sounding job of beard.

But Lao Zhang's bet proved to be the right one.At that time, the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War had just ended, and the region in western Liaoning where he was located was in disarray. It was the time when Huzi's business was showing its strength, and Lao Zhang quickly proved with his actions: three hundred and sixty lines, every line will be the number one. , If the beard is well done, it can also strive to be an advanced model. Not long after, the people in Zhang Zuolin's "jurisdiction" not only voluntarily paid protection fees, but also praised his men and horses, saying that they were very disciplined, not only abiding by rules and regulations, but also maintaining law and order, which was better than the government.

In the midst of war and chaos, the common people have a deeper understanding of the phrase "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", that is, regardless of the officers and bandits, it is good that you can keep your family safe with the protection money Comrade.Everyone can see clearly that Lao Zhang only wants a share of the money. If other officers and soldiers or beards come, they will not only ask for money, but may also burn the house and kill people.Comparing the two, everyone thinks that Lao Zhang is a kind person. But as the saying goes, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be knifed.Soon, Zhang Zuolin was beaten by his enemies and fled.In desperation, Lao Zhang had no choice but to seek refuge with a friend in the green forest.Unexpectedly, when they reached a place called Bajiaotai, someone ran out to rob the road.

Being a beard for so long, it is normal to rob others, but it is the first time to be robbed by others.Old Zhang was really taken aback. It soon became clear that the people who robbed Dao hoped that their group of people could stay and serve as a group trainer for the local chamber of commerce (equivalent to the current security guard).The reason is that thieves are rampant everywhere, and security has long been a scarce resource, and the Chamber of Commerce recruits security, and there is another unspeakable taboo: if the security has bad intentions, it is too convenient to turn into a robber.The chamber of commerce is an organization of local rich people, and the wasted money is piled there, which is simply tempting to commit crimes. It is really impossible for ordinary security guards to have no concentration. Although Zhang Zuolin has a beard, he is also a thief. The reputation of "benevolence and righteousness" has spread far and wide. He has been so successful as a bandit, let alone a security guard, so the chamber of commerce has already sent people to wait for a long time on the side of the road. . I was worried that I had nowhere to go, and I didn't expect to be able to change to a security guard with oil and water.This made Lao Zhang very happy, and immediately agreed to stay as a team training deputy, that is, the deputy captain of the security team. Lao Zhang didn't look very good when he was old (as evidenced by the marshal's photo), but he was still a handsome guy when he was young.The so-called Northerners and Southern Prime Ministers are quite handsome, and they stand out from the crowd of Northeast strong men with big arms and round waists.In addition, he also went to a private school for a while, and the scenes of "being an official and benefiting one party" are all set.This has invisibly increased his leader's charisma index a lot. After coming and going, his reputation is so great that the original Bajiaotai regiment trainer (security captain) simply gave up his talents and acted as his deputy to help Zhang Zuolin who had just arrived. It seems that sometimes good-looking people are not only easy to find a wife, but also very easy-going in other aspects.
