In March, the snow in the Northeast and the entire Mongolian region began to melt. Zheng Silang received He Rui's order to go from Jilin to Fengtian to report.

When he learned that the order had arrived, Zhu Xun, the new chief of staff of the cavalry brigade, quickly urged Zheng Silang to set off. Zheng Silang was not in a hurry and said, "Wait for two more days, and after Brother Wuyun arrives, I will take him to see the governor."

The Mongolian tribe in western Inner Mongolia fought too much with He Rui and was willing to serve the Northeast Army. This dark cloud is one of them, and the dark cloud has united other tribes to establish a region belonging to He Rui in western Inner Mongolia.

Hearing this, Trust Chief of Staff Zhu Xun advised: "Brig Commander, let's not make any trouble."

Zheng Silang was unhappy when he heard this. Even after a few months, the impact of the Shanhaiguan incident was still there. He wanted to say that the result was the only one who could bear it, but then he thought about it, Zheng Silang replied: "Send a telegram to the Chairman to explain the matter."

With radio, communication became much more convenient. He Rui called back quickly, "Agree."

Seeing that Zhu Xun stopped saying anything, Zheng Silang was in a better mood. Moreover, Wuyun was acting quickly and rushed to the area where Zheng Silang was stationed within two days.

The group arrived in Fengtian. Wuyun and other cadres in Mongolian areas were moved to see the prosperity of Fengtian City. When everyone saw He Rui, He Rui enthusiastically stepped forward to shake hands with Wuyun and other Mongolian cadres. After sitting down, they took Mongolian milk tea. He Rui did not talk about the war, but all they said were daily life needs.

Mongolian tribes such as Wuyun were thinking that He Rui made contributions in exchange for more material support. They were straightforward in Mongolia under the harsh natural environment of Mongolia. Since He Rui asked about his life needs, everyone was not polite and said that he needed more daily necessities. Construction tools needed to make livestock for winter, yeast powder for green feed, tea, iron pots and other must-haves for daily necessities.

After hearing this, He Rui smiled and said, "We need to establish a trade contact point in Mongolia. I wonder if Brother Wuyun can go back to discuss this matter with friends in Mongolia. Whether you send people to Changchun or Siping, you can receive various management and trade training, so it is much easier to do business."

Wuyun frowned slightly and turned to look at the other leaders of the Mongolian tribes who came together. Seeing that everyone was confused, Wuyun turned around and asked, "I wonder what the training was about the Grand Marshal said?"

He Rui smiled and said, "There is a training class in Fengtian City that is starting. Brother Wuyun will know if you go to listen to the class for a few days."

Seeing that Wuyun and others did not object, He Rui immediately arranged for them to listen. When Wuyun and others left, Zheng Silang felt something wrong with him, and was about to ask, but He Rui said, "The offensive route and the stationed area are ready, right?"

Zheng Silang immediately replied: "Yes, it's ready."

"Then let's march. Once Outer Mongolia is recovered and troops are stationed, you can build a ranch there, and some cadres and herdsmen from Mongolia can go to participate in the construction."

"Is this what the Chairman thinks?" Zheng Silang understood He Rui's thoughts a little.

"The Qing Dynasty used to provoke conflicts and make Mongolia partial to facilitate the Qing Dynasty's rule. The current technological development does not require such means at all. If the railway is built into Mongolia, we can naturally allow Mongolian compatriots to be fully integrated into the economic system of the Han area. You just need to show the strength of gold and iron horses and let the princes of Outer Mongolia who want to rely on Russian forces know that they are powerful."

Now, Zheng Silang felt that he had made the wrong choice again, and felt very uncomfortable. However, He Rui said: "Silang, it is one thing not to listen to orders. In order to complete the task, you made various preparations before. This is what you should do. When we talk about inner thoughts, we are targeting some internal value judgment, logic, or methodology. If you really talk about Shanhaiguan, you are wrong. You have changed the combat plan approved by the Military Commission without authorization, and did not ask the Military Commission for instructions. Do you think that this time the thinking was not agreed, it is wrong?"

Zheng Silang's emotions recovered and he hurriedly said, "Chairman, I understand."

"Oh, by the way. How accurate is the latest Outer Mongolia map?" He Rui changed the topic.

Zheng Silang immediately felt better, "Chairman, I have walked those roads many times, especially carrying new measurement tools, including some inspections of the land. It can ensure that it passes through those areas when the snow is melting."

"That's good. Go back and prepare. The Military Commission will issue an order soon."

On March 22, Duan Qirui, who had announced his resignation in the court battle with President Feng Guozhang, re-elected as Prime Minister of the Republic of China. On the next day, He Rui's telegram had been sent to Duan Qirui's State Council.

When the director of the telegram room saw that it was sent by He Rui, he immediately sent the telegram with the highest level to Duan Qirui according to the latest telegram level.

Duan Qirui knew that He Rui would definitely send a telegram, because just yesterday when Duan Qirui became the Premier of the State Council again, the troops sent by He Rui to protect Duan Qirui immediately received a telegram from his troops and had already returned to the Northeast today. With He Rui's shrewdness, he would definitely send a telegram in person.

After receiving the telegram, Duan Qirui had changed his face. The staff quickly came over and took the telegram and looked at it. His face was surprised at first, and then he smiled, "Mr. Duan, this matter is feasible."

In the telegram, He Rui said,

Duan Qirui certainly knew that this matter was feasible. "...In view of the changes in the international situation, the Ministry of Service is preparing to regain Outer Mongolia. Since the Russian government that signed the China-Russia Statement no longer exists, I wonder if the Prime Minister is willing to rise up his prestige and publicly announce that the China-Russia Statement has been invalidated..."

In 1911, Outer Mongolia joined forces with Russian forces to expel Qing officials and announced the establishment of the "Great Mongolian Kingdom (Bokdo Khanate)" and rebelled and independent.

1911 was a critical period of the Xinhai Revolution. The Qing Dynasty had no ability or energy to regain territory at all, and could only watch Outer Mongolia's independence.

But neither the Qing Dynasty nor the successor Beiyang government had ever recognized the independence of Outer Mongolia.

In 1913, Yuan Shikai was in power, and Tsarist Russia forced the Beiyang government to sign the China-Russia Statement. In this statement, the Beiyang government recognized Outer Mongolia autonomy!

In the China-Russia Statement, Beiyang only recognizes Outer Mongolia's autonomy, not Outer Mongolia's independence, and the Beiyang government has sovereignty over Outer Mongolia. In 1915, Outer Mongolia announced the abolition of the "Great Mongolia Kingdom" and still implements autonomy.

In 1917, the October Revolution broke out in Russia. The Tsarist Russian government, which had always supported Outer Mongolia, was overthrown. Outer Mongolia was afraid and wanted to abolish its autonomy and return to the central government. But soon, Soviet Russia contacted Outer Mongolia again and expressed its willingness to support Outer Mongolia.

It has been four months since He Rui regained the Middle East Road. Duan Qirui was originally a little worried and thought something would happen. However, now nothing has happened. Even Britain and France, who have been shouting that "the great powers are unanimous", have changed their statements, scolding Russia as a traitor of the Allies, and praised He Rui's "decisive action".

With such changes in the internal and external situation, Duan Qirui had nothing to fear. At this time, the dispute between the government and the court did not end. If Duan Qirui announced the abolition of the Sino-Russian Statement and took back Outer Mongolia, his reputation would naturally increase greatly.

But Duan Qirui also knew very well that He Rui wanted not only Outer Mongolia, but also Inner Mongolia. Although no one was willing to go to outside the pass and inside and outside Mongolia, such a large piece of land was in He Rui's hands. Who can cure He Rui in the future?

Just as he was thinking, he heard from the staff saying: "Prime Minister, if He Rui deals with Russia like this, Russia will definitely hold a grudge and will definitely take revenge in the future. Even if He Rui can resist Russia, and Japan is still eyeing him. He Rui is still like this to Russia, how can he bow to Japan?"
