Qin Mushu was kicked to the ground, his chest was blocked, and he didn't get up for a long time. Everyone was stunned for a while, they didn't know that this Li Ling was so bold, even if he was the battalion commander who came here to take office, he couldn't treat the battalion deputy like this. Many officers and soldiers who were resting nearby surrounded one after another, among which two of Qin Mushu's henchmen were unknown, and when they saw their boss being beaten, they pounced on Li Ling with a loud shout. It's just that before he could make a move, Sun Yuzhu twisted his huge body and flashed, grabbed the two of them, and knocked them to the ground with two "bangs".

Liao Yaohui, the camp instructor, was very anxious when he saw this scene, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop: "Please stop, please stop, if you have something to say, don't do it." ”

"Hmph, come to the army to make trouble, come here, call me." was beaten in public, Qin Mushu was already carried away by anger, so he gave orders to his subordinates. Some soldiers heard the order of the deputy battalion commander, regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one, and they all geared up and surrounded the two.

The platoon commanders knew that although Li Ling did not have a letter of appointment, they also believed that he was the new battalion commander. Now that the battalion commander and the battalion deputy have clashed, it stands to reason that they should stand on the side of the battalion deputy, after all, it is from the Whampoa family, but reason tells everyone that this kind of behavior must be stopped, and if they stab the military department, it is estimated that all of them will be punished.

There is no battalion commander, and the deputy battalion commander is the maximum rank of leading soldiers. Qin Mushu had already given an order, and some soldiers who wanted to get ahead had an opportunity to show in front of them, how could they let it go, and regardless of the instructor's strong dissuasion, they began to attack.

Looking at the twenty or so ruffians in front of him, Li Ling snorted coldly, clenched his fists, and struck at the front door of the first person, and then did not stop, punching and kicking mercilessly.

Although Sun Yuzhu was huge, his body was quite flexible, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he looked bloodthirsty, and some of the ruffians who were scared did not dare to approach. Sun Yuzhu was oppressed when he was begging for food on the street since he was a child, and he became a brother when Li Ling was in trouble. Later, Li Ling rose, and under his influence, Sun Yuzhu also learned a little boxing. The two of them fought together among the ruffians and hooligans, and they had a lot of experience. Cooperate in tacit understanding, advance and retreat freely, and beat a group of people to cry wolves, crying fathers and mothers.

Li Ling roared with a bloody face and a hideous face, and saw the resentful light in the eyes of a soldier who was covering his head and half-kneeling on the ground not far in front of him, Li Ling was furious, and he took a few steps up and picked up the leg of the stool and beat him fiercely, and a stick accurately landed on the waist and abdomen of the ruffian, causing the ruffian to vomit violently, his eyes were full of despair and horror, and he stretched out his spasmodic left hand and shook desperately and begged for mercy.

Only then did Li Ling spit on his face and stop beating: "I**! Dare to look at Lao Tzu with such eyes, are you tired of living? To tell you the truth, this grandson, Lao Tzu will kill you in vain, if you can't kill you, you will be killed, and if you have the ability, you will retaliate, I will wait for you! ”

Seeing that the two of them were so fierce, the remaining seven or eight people were timid, and they all hugged their heads and ran away.

Li Ling was still unsatisfied, walked in front of Qin Mushu, pointed at these fleeing soldiers, and said, "You are still the fucking deputy battalion commander, this is the soldier you brought?" If you escape from the battle, you also have the responsibility to call the troops to me, and Lao Tzu will give me a lecture. ”

When Qin Mushu saw Li Ling showing his might, he was already frightened, and he didn't dare to disobey his words, so he had to order everyone to gather. In ten minutes, except for the soldiers who were injured and could not get up, all of them stood under the banyan tree.

At this time, it was already time to eat, Li Ling unhurriedly found a bench to sit down, ignored those people, and asked the cooking team of each company to bring all the meals in front of him. Recently, the Northern Expeditionary Army has won successive battles, and the food has also improved, and when I saw the braised pork, I and Sun Yuzhu ate it with relish in front of these soldiers.

Li Ling's meal was a little smaller, and after a while, he wiped his mouth and burped. I picked up a spoon and scooped up a bowl of soup and drank it slowly. Sun Yuzhu had a huge amount of rice, half a pot of braised pork didn't take long to eat, and when he saw that there was no good meat in this pot, he changed to another pot and ate it.

The three or four hundred men of a battalion all watched the two of them gobble up, and although they were greedy, they had to stand there straight with hunger.

Instructor Liao Yaohui saw that the two of them were full, so he walked over cautiously and said, "I heard that Battalion Commander Li is the younger brother of Deputy Division Commander Li Yantang, and he is also from our Huangpu family. Everyone will be born and die brothers in the future, and they will share weal and woe, these unpleasant things, you have a lot of adults, forget it! "Because Li Yantang led the troops to make meritorious contributions, it was also just rumored that he was transferred to the Ninth Army and promoted to deputy division commander.

Li Ling glanced at him with a blank eye, then looked around at the soldiers standing in a circle, and said, "It's okay to be Lao Tzu's brother, but Lao Tzu's subordinates don't have bears." When I came here to take office, you were going to turn me away, right? If there are still those who are not convinced, stand up, and it is good to weigh the pounds, and I will wait here. ”

If these things are stabbed to the military department, everyone will be punished, seeing that Li Ling has plans to make a big deal about it, Qin Mushu has no choice but to stand up: "These are all junior brothers, and I ask the battalion commander to take care of them." ”

In front of the soldiers of the whole battalion, the deputy battalion commander admitted his mistake to the battalion commander, which was already a big face. But Li Ling was unaware of it, and said: "Hmph, you do have no eyes, and I won't punish you, everyone will be exempted from dinner at noon today." In addition, he led the whole battalion of soldiers to run around Tengxian County for me. ”

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, the county seat of Tengxian County covers an area of thousands of acres, and what is the concept of running around in a hungry situation. The squad leaders of each company and all the soldiers were all angry, looking at the thin battalion commander in front of them, but none of them dared to stand up and resist.

Qin Mushu scolded this person in his heart for not knowing what to do, straightened his waist and said: "If there is any mistake, I will resist it alone, and what will happen to so many brothers?"

"Oh? Do you still want to buy people's hearts based on this? Pointing to Jia Chungui, the commander of the second company next to him, he said, "You two will add one lap, and the other few who will flee in battle will add two laps." He looked down on the person who left his brother and ran away, and then with a wave of his hand, he knocked the rice bowl to the ground.

Qin Mushu's face was ugly, he was only a deputy, even if he had to be punished, it would not be Li Ling's turn to be punished as a battalion commander, not to mention that in front of so many subordinates, he lost face today, how to lead the troops in the future. was about to resist, but saw a group of people coming over from outside the camp gate, it was the deputy army commander Jiang Dingwen who led a group of officers here.

Li Yantang followed Jiang Dingwen here, and when he saw this scene, he understood a rough idea, and he was also very angry, his face was cold, and he didn't say a word.

Of course, Jiang Dingwen also understood that there was a conflict just now, and said kindly to Li Ling: "You came here to be your battalion commander, and all the food fell to the ground." Isn't it allowed for anyone to eat? ”

Li Lingli saluted and said: "Recently, natural disasters have continued, and our ** battalion is frugal and humble for the sake of the people, and they all fall to the ground if they accidentally hit the rice bowl. ”

Seeing that he looked serious and serious, Jiang Dingwen secretly laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad, this kind of behavior is worthy of praise." Hey, since it's humble and it's not training time, what are you doing standing here in a nail? ”

"In order to carry forward the fine tradition of our First Army of the Northern Expedition, the ** battalion never forgets to drill, and the officers and men of the battalion are preparing to run around Tengxian County. The deputy battalion commander took the lead, and he was even more strict with himself and doubled his training. Li Ling's answer without squinting made the officers and adjutants' guards who arrived with Jiang Dingwen very interesting.

Jiang Dingwen glanced at Qin Mushu meaningfully. Qin Mushu was in a cold sweat, afraid that the deputy commander would have a prejudice against him, and his future and fate would end here.

Jiang Dingwen said: "Since this is the case, then continue training, Li Ling, you come with me." ”

"Yes" Li Ling replied, and then ordered the whole battalion of soldiers to run around the city. With so many commanders here, the officers and men of the whole battalion could only obey the order, sighing in their hearts and not daring to have any more objections.

When the soldiers opened, Jiang Dingwen said with a pleasant face: "The way to lead the soldiers is not to beat and intimidate, but more importantly, to collect your heart." Even if they are afraid of you, what can you do, if you are in a hurry, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not put a black gun in your back. The brothers you brought with you are very good, and I hope you will not disappoint me with this battalion. ”

Li Ling was suddenly taken aback, and it was so rigid that it was easy to break. When I was a child, I rose in the market, and in the face of hooligans and ruffians, I just blindly conquered them. The more fights are fought, and the more opponents there are. When he faced He Jiatang's forces, they were evenly matched and faced off for half a year. It was still the master's words that made him enlightened: "If you come hard, you can only accept people, but you can't accept your heart, why not use gentleness to influence him." This made He Jiatang one of his best brothers.

Seeing that Li Ling had some understanding, Jiang Dingwen smiled slightly and said: "The commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Chiang Kai-shek, will come to the front line to inspect in the near future, and you are not a Whampoa department to lead the troops in the First Army, and you must behave well." I'm here today, one is to stand up for you, and the other is to protect the media for you, let's take a look, let's see your little daughter-in-law. Pull Li Ling, who doesn't know why, and leave.

"Yipinge" is the largest restaurant in Teng County, due to the recent war, the business is also light, and today it is very lively. The leaders of the local armed forces and the gentry of Teng County hosted a banquet for the leaders of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Originally, Li Yantang came here to go to the banquet on behalf of the Northern Expeditionary Army and went through the motions, but Liu Zhi and Jiang Dingwen rushed over to join in the fun because they heard that Li Ling and the Zhang family had an in-law, and they had nothing to do anyway. As soon as the two came, they immediately raised the specifications of the dinner a lot. Those gentry secretly discussed and directly increased the carriage and horse fare of the army from 200,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan.

Li Ling followed behind Jiang Dingwen and greeted the local gentry, which suddenly reminded him of the experience of pretending to be the county magistrate in Qingping County, and he was also so respected. At that time, after killing the local bully Tan Xiangyang, a few people fled, and they didn't know what happened to that county now. He opened his own grain warehouse to relieve the victims, and the case was respected as a blue sky by the people in the county, and if he had time, he should go there to see. When he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw Zhang Fayao of the Zhang family coming, and behind him was Zhang Kexin, the lady of the Zhang family
