With this strategic goal, people like Ma Jiajun have entered the countdown to their lives. Zhang Tinglan will not indulge and appease these bastards like Manchu and Beiyang.

"Linge, please explain carefully. To implement the policy of reducing the number of pagans in the northwest and control the number of heretics, we must not only eliminate the Ma family army, but also deal with all those who are close to the Ma family army. At the critical moment, we must show the butcher's knife. We will take care of all consequences. Give him a bag!"

"Don't worry, Marshal, I will explain clearly."

Yang Yuting is also a ruthless person, Zhang Tinglan cares about feathers and pays attention to friendship, Yang Yuting can be ruthless, let him handle the Northwest affairs, Zhang Tinglan is 120 rest assured.

After Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zongchang received Zhang Tinglan's order, they acted immediately. Old Feng raised the banner and gathered the old troops. Zhang Zongchang had worked in the Far East and had [-] White Russian soldiers on hand. These two people got together. It can be described as a perfect match.

One capricious, one vile, a perfect combination.In less than half a month, Feng Yuxiang convened more than 5000 people, and the appointment of the Beiyang government was also issued.However, it wasn't the Northwest Frontier Defense Supervisor that Zhang Tinglan requested, but he was only given the title of Xuanfu envoy.But no matter what, Feng Yuxiang already had a reason to march to the northwest, and the army immediately set off and marched to the northwest in a mighty manner.

Just ten days before Feng Yuxiang sent troops, Yan Xishan, the governor of Shanxi, also came to Fengtian secretly. Zhang Tinglan did not meet Yan Xishan immediately, but arranged for Yan Laoxi to visit various places.

It was Qiao Ruixuan who accompanied Yan Xishan on the tour. Qiao Ruixuan was a Shanxi merchant. He was the first to cooperate with Zhang Tinglan. Now the industrial development has been amazing.He has just invested in the construction of an agricultural machinery factory, mainly producing small diesel tractors.The Northeast Plain is extremely vast, and these machines are very popular, and they have already received a large number of orders before they come off the assembly line.

Accompanied by Qiao Ruixuan, Yan Xishan first visited the tractor factory.As soon as Yan Laoxi came to the factory gate, he was completely stunned.

The factory area covers an area of ​​more than [-] acres, with tall courtyard walls and strict management. When you walk in, you can see the roar of machinery, and all the workers perform their duties.The production mode of the assembly line is completely adopted, and each worker is responsible for a process, and they are all meticulous, just like a machine.

In about half an hour, a single-cylinder diesel engine was assembled, and Yan Xishan was dumbfounded.In fact, he is also working hard towards self-made arms. First, he established an ordnance repair shop in Taiyuan, and then tried to make his own guns. However, due to the poor machinery and equipment, he completely adopted the model of a small workshop.

It takes three or four days to produce a gun stock, and one month to repair a gun. The number of guns produced each month is also uncertain, three to five, and sometimes seven or eight. It can only be said that talking is better than nothing.

But this is quite good among the warlords in the country. After all, most of the warlords don't even have the awareness of making arms.

Qiao Ruixuan took a peek at Yan Xishan who was sluggish, and said with a smile: "Yan Gong, this is just a civilian factory, the production efficiency is quite low, and the workers are not skilled enough. If you go to the arsenal in Fengtian and Jilin, it will be called a big deal. Guns Just like running water, tens of thousands of units can be easily produced in a month, and if fully mobilized, it is not difficult to reach hundreds of thousands of units.”

Upon hearing this news, Yan Xishan was completely stunned, and he said after a long while: "Brother Qiao, you are not lying to me, Feng Jun really has such great skills, I was studying in Japan back then, Japanese factories may not have this ability! "

"Yan Gong, if you don't have this ability, how can Fengjun make the Russians bow their heads? Victory is achieved by guns. The daily consumption of ammunition is quite astonishing. How about saying that when the cannon fires, it is worth ten thousand taels of gold. .”

Yan Xishan also tried to calm his mind for a while, he asked with a little hesitation: "Brother Qiao, the foundation of the three eastern provinces was built by Lan Shuai?"

"That's right, I was lucky. When Lan Shuai first started his business, I joined the Fengtian Industrial Group. At the beginning, we produced canned food, quilts and other things, and sold them all to the Allies in exchange for the initial development funds. To tell you the truth, and then relying on smuggling to Russia, in exchange for a lot of machines, since then, Fengjun has the ability to manufacture its own arms. Then, in cooperation with the United States and Germany and other countries, a considerable number of machines have been introduced one after another , It can be said bluntly that apart from the power of large ships, there are not many Japanese who can surpass us."

With the strength, there is still a need to show it. Qiao Ruixuan not only introduced the history of Fengjun's fortune to Yan Xishan, but also took Lao Xi to visit a large number of Fengtian factories.Including power plants, tractor factories, aircraft factories, etc., wherever he went, Lao Xi's heart was severely damaged.

A large-scale production line is like a long steel dragon lying on the ground. Those workers are orderly, and everything is like a machine without any mistakes.

From small screws to large aircraft and tanks, Fengjun can produce almost everything, while Shanxi can hardly produce anything.

This huge disparity in strength is simply unreasonable. At first, Yan Xishan wanted to learn from Fengjun's experience, copy what Fengjun did in Shanxi, and make the Jin army stronger, but after ten days Yan Laoxi completely dismissed this idea.

He also understood why Feng Jun dared to show it openly, because he had the confidence to put it in front of you clearly, and you couldn't copy it.

Zhang Tinglan was able to get to this point because of his precise grasp of the international situation and making full use of every opportunity, Yan Laoxi certainly did not have this ability.Moreover, Shanxi is not as rich as the three eastern provinces, so Yan Xishan completely gave up the idea of ​​competing with Fengjun.

However, with such a powerful neighbor by his side, Yan Xishan was restless. In the end, Qiao Ruixuan led Yan Xishan to the Fengtian Armory. There are so many heavy artillery, is there anything more desperate in this world!

But when Yan Laoxi was circling in the arsenal, Zhang Tinglan also arrived at the factory, far away, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Dujun Yan, Zhang has neglected the distinguished guest, please forgive me, in order to express my apology, I have a Cooperation plan, I wonder if you would like it?"

Chapter 6 and Two: The Warship is Back

Yan Xishan had long been suppressed by Feng Jun's mighty power, and felt that he was a few heads lower than Zhang Tinglan, so he said very humbly: "Shuai Lan is too polite, if you have any orders, Baichuan agrees."

"Dujun Yan, I've always advocated win-win cooperation. We talk about business with each other. There is no other meaning. Why don't you take a look at this pistol first?"

Zhang Tinglan casually stuffed a Browning m1911 pistol into Yan Xishan's hand. Yan Laoxi is also a person who knows the goods, and he recognized it at a glance as an anti-American pistol. In the palm, it feels very good, like an extension of the arm, Yan Xishan can't put it down.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "The bullets used in this pistol are 11.43 mm, which is relatively large, and the initial velocity of the bullets is not fast, but it has a terrifying human restraint force, which can cause unimaginable damage to the human body. Even if it is a black bear, as long as it is hit by a bullet, even if it survives by chance, it will completely lose its ability to move. This is very important in battle. Many soldiers will face the problem of a dying blow from the enemy. When they get shot, they completely lose the possibility of fighting back."

Yan Xishan listened carefully to Zhang Tinglan's introduction, and showed full covetousness. Just like Yan Xishan's character, he was smooth on all sides, and the combat effectiveness of the Jin army was not outstanding, especially when it came to hand-to-hand combat. I can't stand it anymore, but if I equip a large number of pistols, I can make up for this shortcoming.

Yan Laoxi thought of this, Yue Fei liked it, looked over and over again, and finally he sighed: "It really is a good thing, but the financial resources of the Jin army are weak. Even the rifles are not equipped, let alone the pistols." Extravagant hope."

"Dujun Yan, if you really like weapons, not just this kind of pistol, but all other equipment. I can provide you with everything, money is not a problem!" Zhang Tinglan smiled playfully.

Yan Xishan was also very shrewd, and quickly figured out that this was a bait thrown by Zhang Tinglan, although he knew that eating it would be risky.But Yan Xishan really coveted these things too much.

"Lan Shuai, Baichuan boldly asks you to give me some advice on how to cooperate. As long as you can accept it, Baichuan will have nothing to say."

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Dujun Yan, I can authorize you to act as an arms sales agent to sell weapons to North China and the Central Plains. You can get 5.00% of the profit from it."

When Yan Xishan heard this, he couldn't help swallowing. Everyone knows that the arms trade is the most profitable thing, and it is also the field where warlords in various places are most willing to spend huge sums of money. Even though it is only 5.00%, that is several million He was immediately moved by the huge profits.

Of course Yan Xishan is also very clear.There is no free lunch in the world, and Zhang Tinglan would not give up such a large profit for nothing as an agent of arms sales. He must have more demands. Yan Xishan simply waited for Zhang Tinglan's next words.

Zhang Tinglan also pays attention to his words and demeanor, Yan Xishan is indeed more powerful than Feng Yuxiang, he did not express his position immediately, he is a complete old fox.But Zhang Tinglan has too many good cards in his hand, so he is not afraid that he will not take the bait.

"Dujun Yan, in addition to the arms cooperation. There are also a lot of coal in the mountains and rivers inside and outside Shanxi, and there are also a lot of coal resources in Northeast Mongolia and other places. I am going to join hands with Yan Gong to jointly develop coal. We have formed a sales alliance to control the Chinese coal market.”

When Yan Laoxi heard this, he immediately opened his mouth wide. It is true that there is an astonishing amount of coal in Shanxi, but mining coal requires a lot of equipment. Shanxi does not have this ability at all. Yan Xishan was very worried about one thing.

"Lan Shuai, to mine coal on a large scale, you must have large-scale equipment, and China's coal sales market has been dominated by foreign powers. I'm afraid it will be quite difficult to eat this profit."

Zhang Tinglan laughed loudly: "Don't worry, Dujun Yan, Fengjun can provide the equipment. As for the issue of the great powers, if you take them seriously, they are a big trouble. If you don't take them seriously, they are just a crow, except they can call twice , and have no other ability!"

When Yan Xishan heard this, he almost choked. On the land of China, who dares to ignore the foreign powers, as long as they see foreigners, their legs and feet will go weak, let alone dare to eat meat from the bowls of the foreign powers. !

But the young man in front of him has the courage. With a 10,000+ army, he just had an in-depth and friendly international exchange with Russia. He can not only grab meat from the mouths of the great powers, but also cut the flesh from the great powers. Ordinary local warlords are completely different.

"Lan Shuai, the strength of the Feng army is obvious to all, and it can ignore the big powers, but the Jin army is so weak that it really can't bear the pressure!"

"In this case, Dujun Yan, you might as well take us [-]% of the profit. You just sit on the ground and collect the money, and all other troubles will be taken care of by Feng Jun. What do you think?"

When Yan Xishan heard this, the small calculations in his heart began to crackle again. Coal is indeed the most important mine in Shanxi. Although it can only get [-]% of the profit, it is not a small amount, and it must be several million. , is definitely a windfall.

Yan Xishan thought over and over again, then nodded abruptly and said, "Everything is under Lan Shuai's arrangement, and Baichuan has no objection!"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is very happy that Dujun Yan has such courage." Then he looked at Qiao Ruixuan at the side: "Brother Qiao, you know more about business matters, so what do you think?"

Qiao Ruixuan hurriedly said: "Commander, coal is very useful in industry, and it is also a fuel for heating. There is a great demand in major cities. I think the first step is to seize the Beijing-Tianjin area, win the market in North China, and then Break into the Yangtze River Basin and occupy Shanghai. According to my estimation, the initial profit should be 5000 million a year. If the cost is deducted, calculated at 500%, Yan Gong can get at least [-] million net profit a year."

Yan Xishan can get 500 million, and Feng Jun can get 3000 to [-] million. Although the family business is getting bigger and bigger, this is not a small amount of money, and Zhang Tinglan still attaches great importance to it.

After talking with Zhang Tinglan for a while, Yan Xishan also felt this Lan Shuai's keen business acumen and strong self-confidence.But Zhang Tinglan was quite generous, although she unceremoniously took the lead, she also left some soup for others, Yan Xishan was still very satisfied.

"Lan Shuai, from Baichuan's point of view, the Northeast's current industrial strength is the best in the world, and its strength is so strong that other forces may not be able to match it."

Zhang Tinglan also knew that Yan Xishan was testing himself, and wanted to see where his ambitions were, so he simply smiled and said, "Dr. Things. Zhang intends to bridge the conflict between the north and the south, jointly formulate laws, elect the National Assembly, and completely unify the country through bloodless methods."

When Yan Xishan heard this, he hurriedly said: "What Lan Shuai said is very true. Now that the country's sovereignty has been trampled on repeatedly, it really shouldn't continue to fight civil wars."

"It's just that there is a group of people who are wicked!" Zhang Tinglan said and pointed to the south: "Since the Republic of China, Sun Wen and his party members have launched many mutinies, and now they are raising troops repeatedly in the name of protecting the law. They Do you really respect the law? I don’t think so. Sun Wen asked more than 200 congressmen to elect him as the very big president by means of open ballot. May I ask where he put the election law? Protecting the law is just an excuse for him to fight for power. First Hanging out with the Japanese, and then making a statement with Yue Fei, to put it bluntly, these actions are just one sentence, if you have milk, you are a mother!"

Yan Xishan was also a member of the Tongmenghui in his early years, but he was worried about Yuan Shikai's embarrassment and took the initiative to cut off from the Democratic Party. However, the relationship between him and the Democratic Party is still severed.Now that Zhang Tinglan scolded Sun Wen, Yan Xishan couldn't stop beating his heart. What is this Lan Shuai's plan?

"Dujun Yan, at this point, Sun Wen's party has become a national traitor. I plan to join forces with all parties to cut off this cancer. I wonder if Dujun Yan is willing to participate?"
