It turned out that Du Lisan's old suppression was in the Sanjiegou, Qingmakan, Liaozhong County, and his sphere of influence was in the Liaohe River basin between Liaozhong County and Tai'an County. Unlike other bandits, Du Lisan's main source of income was not to rob and kidnap, but to collect rent and ship transit fees on the Liaohe River. The sources of these two incomes were stable, so Du Lisan's family had a lot of money and had money to recruit bandits and buy ** equipment.

After the Gengzi Kingdom's change, Tsarist Russia invaded the Northeast, causing the order of the entire Northeast to collapse. In this chaos, Du Lisan was like a fish in water and quickly developed into a number of green forest forces in the Northeast. Later, Japan and Russia fought fiercely, and Japan had to rely on Du Lisan to deal with the Russian army, providing him with many weapons, which greatly increased Du Lisan's strength and was even more arrogant. However, after the People's Army joined the war, it quickly defeated the Japanese and Russian troops and strengthened the bandit suppression operations. However, Du Lisan, Zhang Zuolin, and Feng Linge, local forces such as half-official and half-bandit were not needed. He belonged to the Green Forest family and failed to keep up with the changes in the current situation and changed his position. As a result, there was a fierce conflict with the People's Army.

Of course, Du Lisan was not an opponent of the People's Army. He was defeated in several confrontations, and most of his troops lost, so he had to retreat back to the Qingmakan Sanjiegou. Although the People's Army did not enter the Qingmakan Sanjiegou, Du Lisan had to sit in vain because he lost his sphere of influence and could not escape the result of his defeat sooner or later. In fact, Du Lisan had been a bandit for many years and had a lot of savings and had no problem supporting him for 2 or 3 years. But it was useless to have money alone. The People's Army strictly controlled daily necessities such as grain, salt, cloth, and medicinal materials, so Du Lisan could not buy anything with silver.

At this time, Du Lisan realized the strength of the People's Army. Wang Kefu took the initiative to find Du Lisan and urged him to give up the old suppression of Qingmakan Sanjiegou and retreat to Mongolia to preserve his strength and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback. Du Lisan saw that he was desperate, so he had to follow Wang Kefu's suggestion and set fire to the old suppression of Qingmakan Sanjiegou, leading the remaining troops into the Mongolian territory and stationed in Chifeng.

Russia can provide food and food to Du Lisan through the Mongolian forces it supports, but it is difficult to provide weapons. The Russian army now lacks weapons, and Japan is isolated overseas, so it cannot directly give Du Lisan weapons. However, Japan has a solution and decided to find a solution from the Qing court. Kawashima Naruto came forward to find Shanqi, the former prince of Su, and encouraged him to come forward to gather a group of royal ministers from the Qing court to help Du Lisan purchase the ** weapons and ammunition. Although Shanqi was dismissed from the title of king, his status among the royal ministers was not reduced but increased. Yanran already had the intention of a royal leader, and Shanqi had many industries and did not rely on the prince's salary to survive. Moreover, there were many high-ranking and powerful ministers in the royal family, so Shanqi still had great energy now.

When Shanqi learned that it could add trouble to overseas Chinese, he naturally raised his hands to support him and immediately expressed his support for 10,000 taels of silver. Then he actively contacted other ministers. Some ministers also hoped to make trouble for overseas Chinese, while some ministers were willing to pay Shanqi's face, so they each invested their own funds and eventually raised more than 100,000 taels of silver. At the same time, they purchased 3,000 Hanyang rifles and supporting bullets through the leading ministers of Tieliang and Liangbi and other royal family members, as well as 4 75mm cannons, which were transferred from Mongolia and given to Du Lisan. They promised that as long as Du Lisan did well, the Qing court would recruit and appoint him as a general-level official.

After giving the weapons to Du Lisan, Japan mobilized several bandit forces from Northeast China to retreat to Mongolia and merged with Du Lisan, which greatly increased Du Lisan's strength. At the same time, Japan and Russia each sent a small number of soldiers to join Du Lisan's bandit army and helped Du Lisan train the army. The Japanese army had about 130 people, mainly responsible for manipulating the four artillery pieces, about 150 Russian troops, and more than 60 cavalry. Wang Kefu became the contact person between the Japanese and Russian troops and Du Lisan, and therefore he was increasingly valued by Du Lisan.

After several months of staying in Chifeng, Du Lisan received an order from Russia, asking him to lead his troops to raid Jinzhou. As a result, he achieved great success and also made Du Lisan angry.

At this moment, East China ** dispatched troops and reinforced Jinzhou. Du Lisan also knew in his heart that his strength was far inferior to that of the People's Army. Although he successfully defeated the garrison army of Jinzhou during the raid of Jinzhou, his strength in this battle was twice that of the garrison army, but in actual combat, it was obviously inferior to the opponent. If the Mongolian cavalry had not arrived at the extreme and broke through the flank of the garrison army, then the one who lost in this battle would be his own. Moreover, after Zhang Zuolin's army arrived in Jinzhou, he fought with Du Lisan several times. Although the scale was not large, Du Lisan suffered a lot, which also gave Du Lisan a clear understanding of his strength.

Of course, the Japanese and Russian officers in the bandit army were even more clear about the strength of both sides, so they had the same attitude, that is, they could not resist head-on with the People's Army, so they gave up capturing the county town and retreated to Buxin. If the People's Army continued to attack, they could even give up Buxin and retreat to Chifeng.

Although Gao Jin issued two manifestos in a row, which was extremely humiliating to Du Lisan, Du Lisan was furious and wished he could lead his army to attack Jinzhou immediately and capture Gao Jin alive, he was still a rational person who knew that he could not be an opponent of the People's Army and could only endure this breath.

Then the People's Army divided into two groups and entered Guangning and Yizhou, setting off a new attack on the port. Seeing this, Du Lisan was also ready to abandon the port. However, at this time, the Russian command of Chita ordered the three troops of Du Lisan to attack Jinzhou again, create another shock, and transfer all the other bandit troops that failed to attack, join the three troops of Du Lisan to enhance his strength.

Of course, Du Lisan would not attack rashly, but Japanese and Russian officers could not ignore this order, so they made careful plans and finally found that most of the People's Army's forces were concentrated in Guangning and Yizhou's front line, while the guards behind Jinzhou were very empty. Guangning and Yizhou were 50 kilometers apart, and with the support and cover of the Mongolian cavalry, they had the conditions to pass through Guangning and Yizhou and raid Jinzhou. Moreover, as long as the army was brought to the city of Jinzhou, it would inevitably cause a major shock to the Jinzhou area. Even if Jinzhou was not captured, it would be considered as completing the order of the Russian Army Command. So Japanese and Russian officers had another discussion and finally formulated a plan to attack Jinzhou, and then Wang Ke came forward and proposed to Du Lisan.

After listening to Wang Kefu's suggestion, Du Lisan was also a little moved because this plan was indeed a bit reliable. In addition, Du Lisan did want to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, being despised by a woman is really cowardly.

But Du Lisan also knew that although both Japan and Russia support themselves now, they needed to buy their lives to cause trouble for East China **, but their own life and death are irrelevant to Japan and Russia. It is enough to support a leader from the bandits. Therefore, whether this plan is feasible still needs to be considered seriously. First, we must determine how many troops there are in Jinzhou and whether the troops are empty.

Du Lisan did not have his own intelligence system, but he had his own way, that is, he had a close relationship with Zhang Zuolin's troops, so he asked Song Qinglian to call out Tang Yuqi and Zhang Sifei in the name of reminiscing about the past, and to slander them.

Song Qinglian completed the task very smoothly. According to Wang Kefu's analysis, the army of Jinzhou was between 1,500 and 2,000. Although this number did not completely satisfy Du Lisan, the empty defense was not fake. Bijing Jinzhou is a big city, with the length of the city wall alone being 6.7 kilometers, and there are also veterans from East China, so it is not realistic to expect only a few hundred people to garrison. Moreover, Wang Kefu also said that it is not necessary to break through Jinzhou City. As long as you can scare the veterans from East China, it can be considered successful. Du Lisan also agreed with this.

Du Lisan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Wang, if we can successfully attack Jinzhou City this time, regardless of whether we can break through Jinzhou City, Yizhou, and Guangning's People's Army will definitely rush back to rescue. How should we return to Buxin at that time?"

Wang Kefu smiled and said, "Don't worry, our boss will not return along the original route. Whether or not we have broken through Jinzhou City, our retreat route will first swim up the Xiaoling River and move westward, cross the upper reaches of the Daling River in Chaoyang area. Through Tou and Tu, Burke will return directly to Chifeng. As long as he enters Mongolia, someone will be able to respond. Therefore, even if the People's Army in Yizhou and Guangning returns to aid, we will not be able to do anything to us."

Du Lisan nodded. This is indeed a wonderful move. Mongolia and Jinzhou are very wide. As long as you enter Mongolia from there, you can basically ensure safety. After thinking about it, Du Lisan said again: "We have given up Bu Xin, so what should we do if we stay in Bu Xin now? Do you take it with you?"

This time, Du Lisan went to three counties in a row, looted a lot of supplies, and also obtained a lot of supplies from other farms and villages. Therefore, he made a big profit. Du Lisan gave up the old suppression of Qingmakan Sanjiegou and only brought out fine and soft things. The second generation gave up all the accumulation of the bandits for many years. Moreover, after arriving in Chifeng, he also lived under someone else's roof. Although he had funding from all parties, the expenses were still not small. The money he had plundered in Jinzhou this time was the capital that Du Lisan planned to make a comeback in the future, so he naturally could not give up.

Wang Kefu despised Du Lisan in his heart, and remembered the little money, but on the surface he did not speak at all, and said with a smile: "If the boss is relieved, the people's army in Jinzhou, Yizhou and Guangning will definitely return to help this time. Bu Xin has no worries at all. If the boss is still worried, he can leave 1,200 brothers in Bu Xin, and after we attack, we will transport these property to Chifeng."
