The middle-aged doctor said that the more gloomy his face became.

If it weren't for Li Kun's actions going too far, even if the troops had stopped paying for three months, but he, Duan Hongxiao, as the deputy director of the Third Artillery Fleet, would not have taken the risk of directly leading his subordinates to defect without contact.

After all, the soldiers under him have no money to eat, but he is not short of money, and he is also a deputy commander, so there are many ways to make money.

He chose to defect, mainly because Li Kun did too much!

As soon as he thought of Li Kun's bastard, he couldn't get angry.

Thinking of him Duan Hongxiao, he was also born in the Southern Navy Navy in his early years, and he also fought with Duke Meng in his early years, when Duke Meng died and Nanhai Prefecture was divided, he followed the captain of the year to Cheng Lingfeng and became a member of Luo Guang's navy, and then slowly climbed up to become the captain of the Xingmen ship, which is the captain of the ship he is currently riding.

A few years ago, Guang'an rebelled, and the Xingmen ship he commanded happened to be located in the Luohe section of Guang'an.

If it weren't for Li Kun, the Guang'an Big Three, to personally persuade him, he would not have joined the Guang'an Navy.

But it was precisely because of Li Kun's persuasion that he was tempted, and finally became the newly established Guang'an Navy and served as Li Kun's spokesperson in the Guang'an Navy.

After Li Kun led the army south, the third artillery fleet he was in naturally followed Li Kun's army to the south, although the third artillery fleet did not experience any combat in the process of going south, but the follow-up blockade of the Luo River effect was still very good.

It was also at that time that he became deputy commander of the 3rd Artillery Flotilla.

In January of this year, the commander of the Third Artillery Fleet fell seriously ill and had to retire from the position of commander.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Kun's bastard didn't know where to find an old man, and he said that he used to be a senior general in the South China Sea Navy, and as soon as the old man came over, he became the commander of the Third Artillery Fleet.

After learning about this, Duan Hongxiao's mood can be imagined, he couldn't eat or sleep well during that time, and even thought about running to question Li Kun: What did you say when you wooed me back then?

Create a great cause together, share the glory and wealth together!

But now that so many years have passed, there is a big fart business!

If this is because of the restrictions of the overall situation, Li Kun's power has not been able to develop and grow, and it will not be able to carry out a big career.

But why are you looking for an old man who is going to the ground and and pee on Lao Tzu's head!

Say good to create a great cause, say good to share wealth!

You can't talk and don't count, that's a hook hanging for a hundred years......

But now, it doesn't matter if the career is not successful, even the glory and wealth are gone, and it is unreasonable for Lao Tzu not to oppose it!

However, reason told him that he couldn't go directly to Li Kun.

If you really ask it, then you will completely tear your face.

However, he was still unwilling!

What kind of person is he Duan Hongxiao, I think he was also a young and promising naval officer in the South China Sea Navy back then, and he also wanted to do a big career.

And reality told him that Li Kun was not a good master.

So in the past two months, he has been thinking about how to change the situation he is facing, and he has thought about defecting to Jianminggang, but there is no shortage of naval talents on Jianminggang, and if he runs over, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be reused.

He also thought about defecting to Du Zhikuan, but as high as the situation on Jian Minggang's side, there was no shortage of naval talents under Du Zhikuan.

Since it was impossible to defect to Jian Minggang and Du Zhikuan, he naturally set his sights on Lin Ziran's side.

Although Lin Ziran's strength is still small, there is no decent navy under him, not even a serious ironclad ship, and he can only rely on a few converted gunboats to support the façade.

If this is cast, as long as it is not too unlucky, then it should be able to be reused.

But when he was about to contact Lin Ziran and prepare various defection plans, he didn't expect that the news would be revealed.

Yesterday evening, he got a tip-off that Li Kun was already suspicious of him, and even secretly dispatched army soldiers from other places to Pingdan Port.

Why are you transferring troops here, you still need to think about it, naturally you want his Duan Hongxiao's life!

In this case, he dared to stay there, and that night he was ordered to conduct some night drills.

In the second half of the night, he was already on the boat with his henchmen and was about to escape, and as soon as he left the dock, he gathered all the officers and announced that he was going to defect to Lin Ziran.

In that case, some people are naturally unwilling.

But now it is not.

Because those who were unwilling before were all shot by his own soldiers, and the rest either wanted to negotiate or wanted to save their lives.

Although the process was a little bloody, the overall process was relatively smooth.

This is also due to the fact that Li Kun has stopped the funding of the Third Artillery Fleet for three months.

Now Li Kun's finances are extremely difficult, it is not so easy to raise an army of more than 20,000, plus the coal is not easy to sell, and he has not been as ruthless as Zhao Song, and he has swept up the bottom of his rule.

So during this time, not only the Third Artillery Fleet, but also many army units were also stopped paying salaries.

Of course, only salaries were stopped, and other food supplies were still available.

The problem is that many officers have directly sold a lot of the food and other materials they have supplied, and they have stopped believing it, and they have to support their families.

Therefore, selling grain, shells and so on are routine operations, and even a few captains directly sold all the naval guns.

Duan Hongxiao is naturally no exception.

Therefore, for these three months, the ordinary soldiers of the Third Artillery Fleet have not been able to receive their salaries, not to mention their salaries, and they have not even been able to eat their stomachs.

On weekdays, no one takes the lead and will endure it, but when Duan Hongxiao took the lead and said that he was going to rebel, and took them to Lin Ziran to eat and drink spicy food, many people were moved.

Lin Ziran is rich, which is recognized.

Not to mention that they have a twenty-two town in their hands, and there is also an oil company, which can be described as very rich.

Otherwise, since the second half of last year, other feudal towns have been worried about how to pay salaries, but he Lin Ziran is still recruiting and expanding the army.

Moreover, Duan Hongxiao also told them that Lin Ziran does not have any navy under his hands now, and his own people can be reused immediately if they defect over, which is much better than being angry and wronged on Li Kun's side.

I have to say that Duan Hongxiao is also a character, and this temporary defection can be done so properly, convincing most people not to say it, and he also brought three ironclad ships over.

That's how we are now.

When Lin Ziran rushed to the dock and learned the whole story, he thought about it a little and ordered: "Since they came to join us, they are all brothers, send someone over to board the ship, and then drive the boat back!" ”

"As for Doctor Duanshang, let him come over first, and say that the official wants to interview him!"

These words also mean that Lin Ziran is ready to accept Duan Hongxiao's defection.

As for Duan Hongxiao, they were worried about whether Lin Ziran would dare or not. 、

What is there to dare to do, it was not him Lin Ziran who ran over to dig the foot of the wall, it was Duan Hongxiao who ran over by himself.

Even if Li Kun came to the door again, he had enough excuses to deny it.

And Duan Hongxiao and they came over in the middle of the night, it was dark at night, who dared to say that they came over when they saw Duan Hongxiao?

Later, he asked people to urgently paint the ship and change the color, even if Li Kun was in front of him, he didn't dare to say that this ironclad ship was his!
