The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 421 Something happened
The environment near Songhua Lake is good, and there is a county town and uncultivated land nearby... What he wanted was to enclose some of the land for military farming, so that he could provide for himself while transforming this foreign army into a modern model.

But the construction there has just started. Even if we hire the best laborers and spend a lot of money, we won’t be able to move in until after the Spring Festival next year at the earliest.

So this group of newly joined Russians have been living together with Hai Pingchuan's troops.

Because of trivial matters and differences in living habits, the two sides have fought twice... Jiang Cheng and his nominal superior Zhang Xuecheng also knew about it.

They have been beaten with military sticks and educated, what else can be done? Should they execute two more people to correct the military appearance?

"These young people are full of vigor and vitality, and they are also foreigners - it's hard to prevent some minor conflicts between them! Have you forgotten that when we were in the Military Academy, we even fought from time to time."

Jiang Cheng sat in the military vehicle and said to Zhang Xuecheng, who looked exhausted, "I think we should organize some competitions in the future to help distract their over-excited energy."

Zhang Xuecheng smiled bitterly: "Whether to compete or not is another matter, the key is to make the White Russian regiment independent... Who doesn't know the temper of the old Russians?"

"Besides, it's not a good idea for me to keep interfering in Pingchuan's affairs. Besides, he is your deputy, and your fourth uncle Yang Hongyi is also in the middle. It would be good if your uncle is sensible, but I'm afraid of the seating arrangement!"

When it comes to observing people's expressions and knowing what's interesting, no one can compare to Zhang Xuecheng... At this time, when the two of them were driving to the military camp, they were still relatively relaxed.
After all, neither of them knew how serious the incident was. They thought it was just a few Russians who disobeyed orders and started a fight with Hai Pingchuan and his men.

But when he really got there, Jiang Cheng's scalp suddenly felt numb!
A large number of excited people gathered in front of the military camp gate. That would have been fine, but the key point was that there were seven or eight covered stretchers in the crowd, which looked like...

"what happened!?"

Jiang Cheng rubbed his temples as he got out of the car. As a provincial governor, he had seen all kinds of scenes - but this was the first time such a thing had happened during his administration!
Whether it was Daping Village in the past, Siping, Changchun later, or even Jilin Prefecture now; Master Jiang was known outside for loving the people like his own children, but now...

"Master Jiang, it's Master Jiang!"

"Hey, Mr. Jiang is coming - come on, everyone!"

"Wuwuwuwu, Master Jiang, you have to make the decision for us..."

Even though his guards rushed over immediately, these extremely excited people still surrounded Jiang Cheng in three layers.

Men and women were sobbing, while others were shouting about injustice and asking for justice...

Jiang Cheng's eyebrows were almost twisted together. After looking around coldly, his expression became unprecedentedly gloomy.

"Everyone, please don't make a scene."

The voice, which had completely changed, was extremely attractive. Although it was not very high, it was very contagious and appealing, making everyone present quiet down.

"Choose a few representatives from among you to come in and sit down and talk with me, Master Jiang!"

People quickly selected two men and one woman as representatives, who seemed to be the type with calm personalities, experienced minds, and cool tempers.

But even due to their personalities, the three of them still seemed a little emotional, and the middle-aged woman even cried as she spoke.

Jiang Cheng then realized that when the Russians joined, it happened to be the time when the troops were receiving their salaries. Even though Ding Chunxi and Ye Qinglin had just been assigned to Zhang Xuecheng's army, they were also part of Jiang Cheng's army, so their salaries would definitely be treated equally.

But it was different for the White Russian Group. Giving money as soon as they joined might be a bit against the rules.

After discussing with Yang Hongyi, Zhang Xuecheng decided that they should advance a small amount of money to these Russians to avoid any trouble in the army.

Besides, things will be easier to do if you get the money, and these Russians will be easier to control.

Unfortunately, this kindness could not infect all the outsiders - most of them were very touched, with food, drink, shelter, and military pay, which was much better than being chased around by the Fengtian Army before. But there were a few bad apples who took the money and ran out of the barracks to drink.

After a few bowls of shaoluo, they couldn't hold back anymore and ran out to the streets to cause trouble...

Two fights broke out and three women were dragged away, resulting in seven deaths and ten injuries.

"damn it!"

Jiang Cheng was so angry that he slammed the table and jumped up, his temples throbbing with anger.

"Master Jiang..."

The three people in the audience were so shocked that they were shaking all over, their eyes wide open, and the woman didn't even dare to cry.

"I'm not scolding you, I'm scolding these bastards!"

Since he was promoted to the position of commander-in-chief, he has learned not to show his emotions on his face. This is the first time he has been so angry.

"Zhang Xuecheng, as the commander, how should we deal with this matter?"

Pointing at the pale-faced officer, Jiang Cheng's voice was filled with gnashing of teeth and viciousness. Before he could reply, Yang Hongyi ran in breathlessly.

He had been often at the construction site near Songhua Lake these days, hoping to urge the laborers to finish building the barracks as soon as possible so that they could move away and not get involved.

When he heard that such a big thing had happened, he rode his horse back at full speed.

"You've come just in time, Chief of Staff Yang. Tell me, how should we resolve this matter?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng's cold tone full of murderous intent, Yang Hongyi quickly stood up and saluted, "Reply to your words, Master Jiang! Immediately arrest the soldier who caused the incident and execute him in accordance with military law!"

Jiang Cheng chuckled twice and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you two officers."

After saying this, Zhang and Yang ran out of the door in a panic. After hearing this, the three civilian representatives in the military camp office started crying and kneeling down to Jiang Cheng, shouting something like "The Great Lord".

"Don't kneel down to me. Jiang is sorry for all of you."

Jiang Cheng asked the guards to hold them up, and said, "Let everyone go to the front of the barracks!"

"The White Russians, and those bastards we captured, all come to the front of the barracks to watch the battle - I'm going to deal with them myself."

It took some effort to catch the people, after all, people tend to protect each other when doing bad things... Most importantly, they also knew that impulsiveness brought trouble, and two of them simply did not come back and ran away.

Jiang Cheng's spies were all over Jilin Prefecture, so how could the old Russians, who were unfamiliar with the place, escape? Zhang Tingshu's Snow Fox was able to arrest them and bring them back.

At this time, a large number of people gathered at the entrance of the military camp: in addition to the people who had originally gathered here to protest their injustice, there were also many people who heard the news and rushed to watch the excitement, and passers-by...

Of course, there were also the brothers originally from the barracks, as well as the White Russian Regiment soldiers who were ordered by Jiang Cheng to gather here.

They were the most confused because they didn't speak the language. They looked at each other, wondering what the soldiers in the crowd were doing.
