The Octagonal Platform is about 100 kilometers away from Chenyang. Zhang Zuolin and his group only brought 20 soldiers. After a two-day trip, they ran into the People's Army patrol team outside Shenyang City. After Zhang Sifei explained the purpose of the patrol team. So the patrol team took Zhang Zuolin and his group to a stronghold about 10 kilometers away from Chenyang City to rest, and then sent people into the city to inform them.

However, although the People's Army was very strict in the inspection of Zhang Zuolin and his group, they were very polite in their words. After checking the guns, ammunition, and items carried by Zhang Zuolin and his group, they returned them all. Zhang Zuolin intentionally handed over the dozens of taels of silver he brought, but the inspected soldiers took it and took a few glances, and then returned them to Zhang Zuolin intact.

Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei came back and told Zhang Zuolin that the People's Army's military discipline was strict and they would never collect any money and property. Zhang Zuolin was still a little skeptical. In his opinion, it would be good for the army to do not disturb the people. If it was inevitable to get a snatch, it would be fine as long as it was not too much. The People's Army could be strong, but now it seems that it is true.

Two hours later, a team of soldiers from the Chenyang Command sent to the stronghold to pick up Zhang Zuolin and his group into the city. Zhang Zuolin and others then set off again. Along the road, they also saw many people's army troops, either marching in whole groups, or marching in place, or practicing tactics. It turned out that the army was clean and fighting spirit was high. Each soldier was full of energy and was full of wind. After walking for about an hour, he finally arrived at Chenyang City.

Chenyang was the old capital before the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, known as Shengjing. It still retains the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty and is also the largest and most prosperous city in the northeast. Zhang Zuolin used to be stationed in Xinmin Mansion, only 60 kilometers away from Chenyang City. Therefore, they often come to Chenyang and are not unfamiliar with it. However, this time when they came to Chenyang, they were full of scars. The city walls were blown up by more than ten large and small gaps. The city tower that entered the city gate was blown down a large piece. After entering the city, they were all ruins. There were several restaurants and teahouses that they were familiar with before, and only a piece of open space or waste was left.

Since the Russo-Japanese War, Chenyang has changed hands, and two major wars have occurred here. Due to the fierce urban street fighting, the People's Army even used 105mm artillery in the city, which also caused serious damage to Chenyang. There were more than 6,000 civilians who died in the war alone, more than 15,000 were injured, more than 300 houses destroyed by artillery fire, and more than 700 were damaged. More than 5,000 people were homeless.

After the People's Army occupied Chenyang, it also spent a lot of manpower and material resources to rescue the civilians in Chenyang, collect the bodies of the victims, treat the injured civilians, accommodate the destroyed residents of their houses, and distribute a batch of food and food supplies. At the same time, it was only 6 days before the People's Army captured Chenyang. Although it was not enough to completely repair the damage left by the war, it basically restored the order in Chenyang City and won the hearts of some people. Therefore, what Zhang Zuolin and others saw was such a Chenyang City.

However, although Chenyang City is quite dilapidated, the order has been completely restored. There are many pedestrians on the street, and most of the shops are open for business. It is orderly. Although it is not as usual, it is definitely not depressed. Moreover, although there are a large number of troops in the city, the civilians and the army get along very well and are in peace.

Sun Liechen said: "I heard that overseas Chinese have good military governance and good governance. Today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Zhang Zuolin also nodded and said, "Yes, the People's Army has indeed had a few tricks."

While speaking, a group of people came to the command center of the People's Army in Shenyang City. Although the house was a bit broken, Zhang Zuolin and others could still recognize it. This was the former General Shengjing Mansion.

However, when we arrived here, only Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen, Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei were allowed to meet with the People's Army, and the rest were arranged to wait in the lounge next to us.

The one who received Zhang Zuolin and others was Qiu Yahui. At this time, the 3rd Army had already set out to Harbin. * also set up the headquarters in Harbin according to Qingdao's orders, so he also traveled with the 3rd Army. The 4th Army also began to escort Russian prisoners back to Shandong. Now the highest official in Shenyang is Qiu Yahui.

After meeting, they introduced each other and introduced each other. Qiu Yahui saw that Zhang Zuolin was not old, only about 30 years old, about the same height as him, about 1.6 meters tall, not tall, and there was a bit of elegance between his eyebrows. He really didn't look like a bandit, which was consistent with historical rumors, but his eyes were dazzling, his face was shrewd, and he also had a bit of heroic spirit.

After sitting down, Zhang Zuolin first said: "Congratulations to the People's Army, and also to Commander Qiu, who successfully captured Shenyang and wiped out the Russian army. The People's Army is brave and good at fighting, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Qiu Yahui smiled and said, "Captain Zhang is so polite."

Zhang Zuolin said: "Last time I sent Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei to meet Commander Qiu, and once explained to Commander Qiu that I, Zhang, was willing to lead the team and join the People's Army. At that time, Commander Qiu asked them to bring me a message and I came to the interview in person. I should have come immediately, but the People's Army was attacking Shenyang at that time. I was afraid that I would delay Commander Qiu's business, so I did not come. Now the People's Army has won, so Zhang rushed immediately, one to congratulate the People's Army on its victory; the other to negotiate with Commander Qiu on our resignation."

Qiu Yahui nodded and said, "Although we have not been in the Northeast for a long time, we have also heard of many things about Captain Zhang. I heard that Captain Zhang joined the army, participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and fought bravely. After retiring from the army, he formed an insurance team to protect the country and protect the people, and guarded the land in a quiet place. This was a great achievement. The residents of the Xinminfu area praised Captain Zhang for being very kind."

Zhang Zuolin hurriedly said, "There are no things in that year, but although I, Zhang, have no great skills, my fellow villagers have praised me, and I used some small efforts to make them live a more stable life in this chaotic world. But compared with the People's Army, it is indeed not enough. Now I only hope that the People's Army can accept us."

Qiu Yahui said: "Captain Zhang is willing to join us, so we are of course we welcome you. I wonder how many people Captain Zhang are under him?"

Zhang Zuolin hurriedly said, "There are more than 2,000 brothers." In fact, Zhang Zuolin now has about 2,700 people, almost close to the organization of one regiment. However, Zhang Zuolin's official position is the headmaster, equivalent to the battalion commander, and he dare not fully trust the People's Army, so he naturally has to keep a hand, so he only applied for 2,000 people.

Qiu Yahui didn't care and said, "According to our system, after Captain Zhang joined us, he should reorganize Captain Zhang's army according to our organizational method. However, the war is not over yet. Although Japan and Russia have been defeated by us, Britain and France are ready to join the war. Although we are not afraid of Britain and France joining the war, Britain and France are also world powers. We always have to spend some energy to deal with them, so we will not reorganize Captain Zhang's army for the time being, and everything will be the same. Let's talk about it after the war is over."

When Zhang Zuolin heard this, he was quite happy. This time he came to Chenyang, he was most worried about whether the People's Army would take the opportunity to get rid of him. Now it seems that this possibility basically does not exist. However, Zhang Zuolin also had another concern, that is, whether the People's Army would break up his army in the name of establishing an army, and transfer himself or his subordinates one by one, so as to divide his army. However, the People's Army obviously did not have such a plan, and his team remained the same. Although it was only temporary, for Zhang Zuolin, it was a temporary one. Therefore, he said: "Everything is what Commander Qiu."

Qiu Yahui said: "But we don't have so many military uniforms now, so we have to send them from Qingdao. As soon as the military uniforms arrive, I will send someone to deliver them immediately."

Zhang Zuolin also nodded and said, "I'm working hard."

Qiu Yahui said again: "But we also have a task that Captain Zhang needs to complete."

Zhang Zuolin hurriedly said, "Commander Qiu is asking him to give me instructions, even if Zuolin goes through fire and water, he will do whatever he wants."

Qiu Yahui smiled and said, "It's not that serious. What we want you to do is very simple. It's just a bandit. Do you understand?"

In fact, Zhang Zuolin also guessed a few points. The People's Army wanted to fight the Japanese army, but the Russian army could not use him at all. Instead, he could only use his own weapons when it comes to bandits. Although the bandits' combat power is not strong, they are familiar with the terrain and are not easy to deal with. After all, the People's Army is a newcomer and is not familiar with the place. Of course, this is not as powerful as his own team. Of course, this is also an opportunity for Zhang Zuolin to show off, and immediately said: "Commander Qiu, please rest assured, Zuolin promises to destroy all the bandits in the Northeast."

Qiu Yahui said: "It's great, but even if you have joined the People's Army, you can't let you do it in vain. I plan to give you 500 rifles first to strengthen your strength, and will draw a company to cooperate with you in the fight. By the way, they will teach you the discipline, training and tactics of the People's Army. Although you have not been reorganized, if you have joined the People's Army, you must respect the discipline of the People's Army."
