When it comes, the more guns in his hands, the thicker his waist will be, and the more confident he will be, and Tang Yulin also understands this truth. What kind of treatment he can get if he defects to Feng Delin depends on how many teams he can pull away now, so Xiao Shilin came out to speak, and he was very happy.

"Brothers, Brigade Commander Tang treats everyone well, and it's time for us to repay our kindness, if you don't leave, Zhang Zuolin will definitely settle accounts after the autumn, at that time, everyone can only let people eat meat, it is better to follow the brigade commander and enjoy the glory and wealth! Everyone knows Liu Jingshuang and Camp Commander Liu, he has been arrested and is about to be executed, and this is the fate of others staying. ”

"You fart!" Zhang Jinghui looked angry, urged the war horse, ran in front of the soldiers, and said loudly: "Everyone, I just came on the order of Zhang Dashuai to make it clear to everyone that Tang Yulin wants to take refuge in Feng Delin, and Dashuai will definitely not stop him for the sake of the righteousness of the past." All of you are free to stay, everything is voluntary, Dashuai has said before coming, no matter what choice you make, you are all brothers in the black land, Dashuai will definitely not embarrass everyone. ”

"Tofu Zhang, you guys are too hypocritical." Tang Yulin sneered and said: "Since you said that you are willing to stay, you Weishenme also surrounded Xinmin with a large army, and you can't be fools when everyone else!" ”

"Fourth brother, since it is voluntary, we will not interfere with the soldiers' choices, but we can't watch you mislead them." Sun Liechen also rushed over and said with a smile: "For many years, how Zhang Dashuai has treated everyone, you all have an account in your heart. The common people know what it is like to send people under the fence, you go to Beizhen to seek refuge with Feng Delin, what can you do, you must weigh it carefully, don't do anything regret for life. ”

Then Sun Liechen said: "As for Liu Jingshuang's arrest, it was because he trafficked more than 300 boxes of opium without permission. Let's think about it, how many people will die because of his family, this kind of person is not dealt with, and heaven will not tolerate it. As long as others abide by military regulations, they will definitely not embarrass everyone, and I, Sun Liechen, dare to vouch with my head! ”

Tang Yulin snorted coldly in his nose, he knew that it was useless to say anything else at this time, now was the time to see his appeal, so Tang Yulin said loudly to all the soldiers: "Brothers, Tang Mou won't say anything else." Those who want to follow me stand up, and those who don't want to leave stay, Tang Yulin will definitely not interfere. ”

When the soldiers present heard this, they all buzzed, and everyone never thought that things would come to this point. The brigade commander and the marshal had a falling out, and they had to separate up. How should you choose? Everyone is calculating in their hearts.

Over the years, Zhang Zuolin has treated everyone well, and the treatment of the 27th Division has become better and better, and the salary is very timely, which other troops cannot do. Once they take refuge in Feng Delin, can Lao Feng be able to treat them better than the people of the 28th Division?

It's absolutely impossible. Therefore, following Tang Yulin in the past, that is to suffer, and people go to high places and water flows to low places, Zhang Zuolin is handsome. Feng Delin is only a division commander, who can't tell the difference.

Although these soldiers were taken by Tang Yulin's prestige, they did not dare to make a choice casually when their fate and future were concerned, so the scene was deadlocked, and no one moved.

Tang Yulin's big black face became darker and darker, and he promised Feng Delin that at least half of the brigade could be pulled, and Feng Delin might promise that as long as he passed, he would still be the brigade commander. But looking at the current jiashi, there are no soldiers who want to follow him, if a light commander runs to Beizhen, I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything, Lao Tang is angry and hateful, and there are already delicate beads of sweat on his head.

At this time, Xiao Shilin had to stand up, he was pulled up by Tang Yulin, Liu Jingshuang was his subordinate, if the problem of opium trafficking was investigated, he would not be able to run, so Xiao Shilin firmly followed Lao Tang.

With him taking the lead, hundreds of soldiers stood up, all of whom were Tang Yulin's henchmen, both with glory and loss. They all decided to follow Tang Yulin, but this number was also seriously lower than Tang Yulin's estimate, he really had the heart to give an order and let everyone follow, but he also knew that this was wishful thinking.

Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui were staring at the side with the people, if he dared to play cross, he was afraid that no one would want to take him away.

After waiting for a while, two or three hundred more people came out one after another, many of whom were junior officers, and some were veterans. Most of them are so-called ruffians, these people follow Tang Yulin to do evil, no one dares to care about them, if Tang Yulin leaves, these people will be sick and fall into the hands of others, I am afraid that there will be no good end.

Everyone understands the truth of the three fires when the new official takes office, and it will definitely burn on them, so it is better to be smarter, and they can still gamble with Tang Yulin, so they also decided to follow Tang Yulin.

After calculation, there were only a few people who followed Tang Yulin in their early thousands, less than a quarter of the total number of the 53rd Brigade, and Tang Yulin's face was no longer black, but turned gray and white. He always thought that the 53rd Brigade was his subordinate soldiers, and he could respond to every call, but how could he know that there were only so many people who really followed him Tang Yulin, which made Lao Tang feel embarrassed.

But at this point, he couldn't turn back, and swept over and over the soldiers present, hoping that more people would come forward, but there was no one for a while. Tang Yulin gritted his teeth, waved his horsewhip, and left the barracks.

At this time, there were two more teams of people who came to join him, led by the two giant bandits nicknamed the second brother and the Drill Sky Swallow, Tang Yulin also planned for a long time, wanting to pull as many people as possible, after they got together, they went directly to Feng Delin.

Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui looked at Tang Yulin who was far away and sighed, the brothers parted ways, and Lao Zhang was interesting enough to let Tang Yulin go, and he didn't embarrass him, but it was also a little desolate to see him leave with such a few people.

Among the soldiers taken away by Tang Yulin, except for his henchmen, most of them were the original old bandits, soldiers, and they couldn't stand the restraints, so they followed Tang Yulin. The departure of these guys is also a good thing for the 53rd Brigade, which is equivalent to removing all the tumors at once, and the remaining soldiers are easy to manage.

Sun Liechen immediately announced a new appointment to the remaining soldiers, Zhang Jinghui became the commander of the 53rd Brigade, and the original regiment commander Zou Fen was appointed as the deputy brigade commander.

Although Zhang Jinghui led the remaining 4,000 soldiers of the 53rd Brigade to return to Mukden first, to retrain them and enrich the low-level officers, as for Xinmin, Sun Anhu led the First Regiment of the Independent Brigade to garrison.

Although Tang Yulin didn't take many people away, he openly fell out with Lao Zhang, which can be regarded as vigorous, and there is another person who left a little silently, that is, Duan Zhigui, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces.

Lao Yuan allowed him to go back to Beijing, and His Royal Highness Duan cleaned up all the money he had looted, don't look at him being robbed by Feng Delin once, but His Royal Highness Duan also knew the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and secretly hid a lot, and left a lot of money in the bank, all of which had to be brought out and brought back to Fengtian together.

In addition, he also brought a regiment of soldiers, these people must go back with him, even if not for anything else, always let them protect their own safety, Duan Zhigui has been frightened by the bandit leader in Fengtian.

He called Lu Lin over and asked Lu Lin to mobilize his subordinates to act as soon as possible, but Lu Lin was bitter in his stomach, and secretly scolded Duan Zhigui for being on the sedan chair and piercing his ears and eyes, he usually didn't know how to gather the army's heart, but now he wants to use people, so he thought of cleaning up the army's heart, what did he do earlier.

Since Lao Zhang taught these people a lesson, many soldiers have admired Zhang Zuolin very much, after all, they have the ability to make their brothers live better. They have food and drink now, and their small life is quite comfortable, and these people have also heard that the Protector Army is advancing vigorously, and Sichuan, Hunan and other places have become a pot of porridge, if they enter the customs, will they be transferred to the front line to fight, these people have no bottom in their hearts.

Therefore, Lu Lin personally mobilized, and as a result, less than 1,000 people were willing to follow into the customs, and many people asked Duan Zhigui to give all the arrears of military salaries, and if they were not given them, they would not leave, which was also the fine tradition of the Beiyang Army, called the promotion fee.

It was difficult to give up good money, Duan Zhigui was unwilling to spend money on them, so he simply threw these people in Mukden, and only took Lu Lin and about a thousand soldiers back to Beijing.

"Humble words, this group of Beiyang troops is already rotten, and staying in Fengtian is a waste of food, I think it is better to drive them all away, so it is cleaner."

Yang Yuting said with some complaints, the remaining 3,000 or so people of the Beiyang Army were organized into a guard regiment, and Lao Zhang asked Yang Yuting to manage it temporarily.

"Neighbor, you are iron-faced and selfless, just enough to suppress them, as long as you don't let them make trouble. Now that Lao Yuan and the Protector Army are fighting so lively, I heard that they are ready to transfer troops everywhere! ”

Zhang Tinglan said this, Yang Yuting is so shrewd, he can understand it at all, and said with a smile: "Humble words, you really know the handsome, when the time comes, let these people go to the front line, fight hard with the Protector Army, and save the waste of the Feng Army's troops." Both men smiled like foxes.

Just as Duan Zhigui had just left Mukden in a gloomy manner, the Japanese Consul General Okita and Katsuta Nakamichi of the Bank of Korea led people to find Zhang Zuolin, and the two sides greeted each other.

Otian said: "Zhang Sang, the matter of the carjacking case has finally settled, and the imperial government and Beijing have reached an agreement, China will pay tribute to Daoqian, compensate for the loss of 500,000 yuan, and at the same time increase the garrison of two brigades on the South Manchurian Railway. ”

"I've heard about it for a long time, and I'm happy to see the two countries end their unpleasantness and resume normal relations as soon as possible." Lao Zhang has no choice about Beijing's decision, and this result is much better than the original shouting and killing.

"Mr. Zhang, the Japanese government has suffered heavy losses in this incident, and in order to maintain the relationship between Japan and China, I have a proposal from the contemptible people." Katsuta Nakamichi said humbly: "The Mukden Guanyin can cooperate with the Bank of Korea to issue currency with the bank bills we issued as a reserve, which Mr. Duan Zhigui has agreed!"
