    Knowing the teacher¡¯s tactics, Zhao Enzhen made a prompt decision and ordered his soldiers to unload their guns immediately. He disarmed himself and followed Hu Xianmei and the two men with his hands tied.  According to Zhang Zuolin's personality, he kept a low profile and beheading would never happen.  But I don¡¯t know if this own goal will affect my status in the commander¡¯s heart. After all, I am the leader of the group that is hard-earned.

    When he saw Zhang Zuolin, whose face was livid with anger, he couldn't help but tremble.  However, when he glanced at the young marshal who was accompanying him from the corner of his eyes, he felt relieved: he and the young marshal got along pretty well, and the young marshal favored him very much in the Fengtian Martial Arts Hall.

    Sure enough, after some explanations and after the young marshal pointed out that the initiator of this incident was Tang Yulin alone, Zhang Zuolin's face became much softer.  He called Zhao Enzhen angrily and said, "Enzhen, sit down. Your original intention was also for me, so I don't blame you for this. I also said that the officers of the 27th Division would not believe that bastard Tang Yulin who came to create me."  Anti! It seems that this reorganization of the army is inevitable!"

    It is a foregone conclusion that Zhang and Tang will turn against each other, and it is time to take a stand.  Zhang Zuoxiang also didn't have a good impression of Tang Yulin. In major matters, he always followed Zhang Zuolin's lead. Hu and Zhao also saw the overall situation clearly and expressed their loyalty to Zhang Zuolin.

    After receiving the instruction, Zhang Zuoxiang quickly convened a meeting of officers above the 27th Division Battalion.  At the meeting, Zhang Zuolin took the initiative to admit his mistakes, told everyone about his interests and concerns, and talked about many things in the past where we had shared joys and sorrows.  Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Jinghui, Sun Liechen and others who had once echoed Tang Yulin were moved and expressed their firm support for Zhang Zuolin and their opposition to any form of military remonstrance against the superior.

    With the morale of the army stable, it is time to deal with Tang Yulin.  Tang Yulin's prestige in the army is far less than Zhang Zuolin.  The fully armed officers and soldiers of the 27th Division made a large detour from a distance and counter-surrounded Wang Yongjiang's troops who were surrounding the Wang Yongjiang Police Department.

    No matter how bold Tang Yulin was, he would not dare to clash head-on with Zhang Zuolin's troops. After all, Zhang Zuolin's power was not overwhelming.  And before the fight, the soldiers of the 27th Division shouted "Capture the rebels, hand over the guns but not kill them", which caused his men to scatter.

    Zhang Hanqing further exercised his power with Sun Liechen and ordered the military police to arrest Tang Yulin on the grounds of investigating suspected leaks of Tang Yulin and Feng Delin's relationship.  Tang Yulin led two companies to escape to Xinmin Village.

    After Tang left, Zhang Zuolin was furious, but Zhang Hanqing thought it was a good thing to make the army pure.  He said to Zhang Zuolin: "It's a good thing that Tang Yulin is gone. Without him, the party is still standing. He has disturbed the situation. But my father should comfort the group of people who followed him in time to prevent any more collective defections."

    So after some thinking, Zhang Zuolin faced the angry or anxious mentality of the entire division, and regardless of past grudges, he wrote a very sincere letter to Tang Yulin. The full letter is as follows:

    "Brother Ge Chen: I have been a close friend in adversity for seventeen years, but I have not even seen each other before parting. My heart is broken! Can my brother's heart not be hurt? I recall that when we were in Sanglinzi, there were twenty-four people in total including my brother, Fu Chen, and my brother.  We were repeatedly bullied by Hong Fuchen, Xu Hanwu and other big players. Jin Shoushan colluded with the Russian soldiers and attacked at night. We risked our lives to break out of the siege. Sun Deshan carried the Zhao family on his back and went to Laodafang.  After a short breather. After surrendering to the new people, my younger brother was appointed as the commander and my elder brother was appointed as the sentry officer of the left sentry. My brother captured Du Lishan alive and was the first to achieve great feats. My younger brother was promoted to the commander of the patrol on the front road, and my elder brother was promoted to the commander of the second battalion of Ma. Later, we marched to Tao.  In the south, Sixty-three Toothpicks, Tao Shitao and others suppressed the "Mongolian bandits". My brother was surrounded twice in the yurt. My brother took the risk and rushed to the yurt. My brother burst into tears with gratitude. My brother comforted me and said: "I don't want to live together, but I hope to die together."  'The words are still in my ears, but they will never die. In the autumn of 1911, General Zhao returned to the province by telegram. Chaos was imminent and people were panicked. My brother led his troops overnight and captured Hengliu, Zhang Rong and other important officials. The men fled and the provincial walls were destroyed.  The crisis was over. My brother led the patrol in the middle and reorganized the 27th Army Division. My brother was appointed division commander, and my brother was promoted to brigade commander of the 53rd Brigade. When General Duan resigned, my brother became the governor and provincial governor. Others saw that our division was united and strong.  The future is developing smoothly. In the past ten years, the military and administration of the whole province have been promoted. Envy has led to jealousy, jealousy has turned into enemies, sowing dissension, and sabotage in many ways. The facts are all there, and there is no need to overturn the case. The most precious thing in life is life. In the past, we should be in trouble.  At that time, we swore that we would live and die together, but even with the difference of words, we were treated as strangers. My brother has always been loyal, but now he does not think about his past relationship, does not think about the past, and is determined to leave. This brother is deeply puzzled and is the most distressed.  Moreover, the father's spirit is floating around the house, the important things are not finished, the old mother is still in the house and still needs to be taken care of, the brothers, wives, concubines, children and grandchildren, etc., are getting more and more, and the expenses are increasing day by day. The brother does not seek for himself, nor does he think about the whole family? We share the wealth,  We should share and enjoy each other, and our sincerity will be expressed in the coming days. I will go without saying goodbye today, and there is no way to save me. When will I change my mind, and be willing to come and gather together to share wealth and honor. I will never break my promise. If the letter does not fulfill my intention, I still hope to understand. "

    (Note): Notes on the names in the letter: 1. Jin Dingchen was later the commander of the first regiment of the 27th Division. He violated the law and discipline and was killed by Zhang and imprisoned.  2. ?The ?? family was Zhang Zhiyuan's wife, and Zhao Xigu, the Fengtian representative who attended the Xuzhou Conference, was a member of his clan.  3. Zhang Zuoxiang's courtesy name is Fuchen, and his family name is Zhang Jinghui.  4. Du Lishan was a famous bandit leader in Green Forest who harassed the local area. He was invited to have a drink with him and was immediately captured at the banquet.  5. Tao Shitao and others were the leaders of the Mongolian bandits.  6. Zhang Rong is Zhang Rong, a revolutionary.  7. "Others see that our division is strong sabotaged in many ways", others refer to Feng Delin.

    Zhang Zuolin could not write, but this letter was dictated by him. It is a letter that reflects his true feelings, recalling old friendship and half a lifetime of history.  The generals of the 27th Division all respected Zhang Zuolin from the bottom of their hearts when they saw that the general could be so kind and righteous to a rebel general.  Tang Yulin's departure was a good reason for the 27th Division to eliminate the waste and retain the essence.  Without Tang Huhu, Zhang Hanqing's purge of the army suddenly had fewer obstacles.

    After Tang Yulin left, Zhang Zuoxiang, who had served in the escort, took over as the commander of the 53rd Brigade.  Zhang Hanqing was assured of him: Zhang Zuoxiang was historically loyal to the Zhang family. After the Shenyang Huanggutun car bombing incident, Zhang Zuolin was killed. Zhang Zuolin, who had great prestige, did not change the dynasty, but devoted himself to assisting Marshal Zhang Xueliang.  .  Zhang Xueliang also respected Zhang Zuoxiang and called him uncle and assistant commander. After getting married, he made his first wife Yu Fengzhi the goddaughter of Zhang Zuoxiang's second wife Hua Futian. The two have always had a close relationship.

    Seeing that Zhang Zuolin and his son did not hesitate to confront their most capable generals in order to protect themselves, Wang Yongjiang, who had always relied on his talent and arrogance, was also deeply moved.  He devoted himself to the affairs of the Fengtian police community with more enthusiasm.  Thanks to his efforts, the provincial capital of Fengtian has experienced a stable situation that has been rare for many years, and the public security situation has reached the best in history.  Zhang Zuolin was also praised by the provincial capital for his ability to recognize and employ people.

    Although Tang Yulin¡¯s military remonstrance was resolved satisfactorily, looking back on the incident, Zhang Zuolin felt it was necessary to think deeply about why this happened.  If he is determined to rebel, he is afraid that the 27th Division will shed its skin even if it is not dead. He is the commander of the 53rd Brigade and controls nearly half of the 27th Division's troops!  Will there be Wang Yulin and Liu Yulin?

    The new army of Xiao Liuzi and Guo Songling performed well. They were not afraid of danger, had fewer people but were more capable, and mutations occurred without chaos. They showed good qualities, which is rare.  But when I am waiting for a few buddies to lead the army, they are still in the same old routine. They always say "Damn La Bazi, you guys work hard, do a good job, I will give you everything except my wife", and they always say "Brothers"  , "If you have a brain, you're the only one", "Spare a knife for your friend" or "If your head falls off, you'll get a big scar", etc. This is obviously too backward. You need to have a clever way to abandon the old and make a new one!  Otherwise, it would be unreliable to rely on just a few of them for something like this.

    Zhang Hanqing¡¯s recent strong performance made Zhang Zuolin think that it was time for the young marshal to impress.

    After six months of hard work, Zhang Zuolin gained support in the provincial capital. Coupled with the orthodoxy of the post of General Fengtian, General Feng Delin from the same city could no longer return to his former arrogance.  Zhang gradually became stronger and Feng gradually weakened, and the balance of victory was tilting sharply towards Zhang Zuolin.

    Zhang Hanqing's troops have become Zhang Zuolin's "strong force" due to their success in suppressing bandits, and are therefore relied on for important tasks.  Tang Yulin's incident prompted Zhang Zuolin to make up his mind to improve the status and strength of the Guard Brigade.  Most of the people in the 27th Division are certainly reliable in the event of an accident, but everything has a contingency, right?  If the Guards Brigade can truly become a force that restrains the 27th Division, then any careerist in the army will need to reconsider!

    Former guard captain Yu Zhen was out of sight of Zhang Zuolin due to his poor performance in handling Tang Yulin's "rebellion" incident. As his eldest son, Zhang Hanqing naturally became the best candidate to lead this team. As the saying goes, father and son go into battle.  Soon after, Zhang Zuolin officially transferred Yu Zhen to be the commander of the Fengtian garrison. Zhang Hanqing dropped the word "deputy" and took office, officially becoming the brigade commander of the Guards Brigade of the Military Governor's Office.

    Because Zhang Hanqing is a young marshal and has absolute control over the Guard Brigade, he can do as he pleases in personnel deployment. When Yu Zhen was there, he still had reservations, but now he can really cover the sky with one hand.

    Han Linchun can completely stand on his own. According to the course of history, Fengjun's massive expansion is just around the corner. It's time to give him more strength: he can't take into account the details in his own military and political affairs, so let him take charge of the work of the Guard Brigade.  Well, he will be directly promoted to deputy brigade commander.  In this way, promotion in the position will also help you to speak at the top in the future;

    Guo Songling is indeed a talent, and he has absolutely no intention or strength to turn against the Zhang family, so you can use him with confidence.  Leave some military planning matters to him. He is a good candidate for chief of staff. I will be promoted to chief of staff of the Guard Brigade first.

    Wang Yizhe has done a very good job in ideological education, and the teaching team has also trained many characters. These should be reused.  The teaching corps and the political department of the Guard Brigade are one team and two organizations. In order to formalize and enhance the status of the political department, the teaching corps was placed under the political department. Of course, he also serves as the director of the political department.

    Because the establishment is large and there are many vacancies, all the officers who follow Zhang Hanqing have the opportunity to advance.  As the saying goes, "Follow the young marshal and you will have a bright future." The Guard Brigade belongs to Zhang Hanqing completely.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Because the establishment is large and there are many vacancies, all the officers who follow Zhang Hanqing have the opportunity to advance.  As the saying goes, "Follow the young marshal and you will have a bright future."
