Tang Yulin was soon "reused" by the Japanese, and he, who was once a nominal overseer of Fengtian, first got the power of the garrison commander, and at least mastered the right to guard the two gates of Fengtian. This can be regarded as a fat gap, and you can collect the gate tax by guarding the city gate. What's more, guarding the gates means gaining a great deal of trust. Another day passed, and Tang Yulin's troops were given the task of guarding the city wall again. This reuse did not make Tang Yulin's subordinates happy, guarding the city gate to collect money is one thing, standing at the head of the city in winter and being blown by the cold wind like a knife cut is of course not as comfortable as hiding in the house to roast the fire. However, these Northeast Army did not dare to complain about the Japanese, because the Japanese were very fierce to the Northeast Army, and they would start beating people when they saw that the Northeast Army was not pleasing to their eyes.

The Japanese army did not have time to supervise the Northeast Army on duty, and they were all in full swing to prepare for war, and the news circulating in Mukden City was that the Japanese army was going to launch a punitive attack on the surrounding People's Party. Therefore, the posts that were once held by the Japanese army were transferred to the hands of Tang Yulin's subordinates.

"Big brother, why do I see this Japanese person running away?" Tang Yulin's subordinates asked at the banquet.

Tang Yulin set up a banquet to invite everyone, because the Japanese promised Tang Yulin that after the beginning of spring, Tang Yulin would be allowed to control the tax revenue of Fengtian Province. If the Japanese really want to run, wouldn't Tang Yulin's status and benefits that he had finally gained by taking refuge with the Japanese be gone?

Without waiting for Tang Yulin, who had a sinking face, to speak, the others had already scolded the one who spoke, "What are you talking nonsense? Drink like a fish? ”

The one who spoke looked at everyone looking at him with dissatisfied eyes, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "This must be that I drank too much and wanted to go wrong." If the Japanese do not go out in full, they will not be the opponents of the BJP. ”

This was not something that the people who attended the banquet liked to hear, and the People's Party released a large number of Japanese prisoners before the snowfall. Although the Japanese blocked the news, after all, there were thousands of wounded, and they could not really cover the sky on their own. Tang Yulin's subordinates were not ignorant of the whole situation.

Tang Yulin glanced at the brothers who came to eat, all of them were bandits and had known each other for many years, just looking at their expressions, Tang Yulin felt extremely disappointed. Since he was born as a bandit, he naturally can't talk about any fateful friendship. What's more, most of the people in it originally followed Zhang Zuolin, but they didn't have time to escape when Japan attacked Fengtian City, and they had to take refuge in Lu Tang Yulin after being caught. Tang Yulin has already seen that at least half of these guys are actually not optimistic about the Japanese. It's just that no one dares to tell the truth directly, like the one just now.

"Brothers, brother, I don't actually rely on the Japanese now, but I rely on my own brothers. We don't have to hide what we have to say, just say it. Tang Yulin said to the group.

However, these people didn't say anything that made Tang Yulin feel unhappy, including the original one.

"Let's follow Brother Tang!"

"Brother Tang, can you still trust us?"

……

Words of loyalty like these go on and on, and just listening to these words is really a sign of sincere unity. Tang Yulin didn't believe it at all. As a bandit, even if he doesn't understand strategy, the experience of a long-term bandit career makes Tang Yulin very clear that if one force has been held down and beaten by another force in the short term, then the best way for the beaten force is not to fight back, but to quickly slip away.

However, the two forces in front of us are the newcomer People's Party, and the other is the Japanese who have been in the northeast for more than ten years. No matter how Tang Yulin's attempt "hinted" that the Japanese were only afraid that it would be bad, Tang Yulin couldn't believe in his heart that the Japanese would fail completely so quickly.

In his heart, he was not sure of Japan's defeat, except for this kind of "blind obedience" under Japan's prestige, from every other point of view, Tang Yulin could not really believe that the Japanese could win. Originally, Tang Yulin still wanted to win over people by making a wish for the official was completely gone, but he just pretended to be happy and drank for a while, and the banquet ended without a problem.

The Japanese did not break their promise, and the various permissions originally promised to Tang Yulin were quickly handed over to Tang Yulin. There was no delay, no inconsistencies, and Tang Yulin soon became the true ruler of Fengtian City.

On February 28, 1916, in gloomy weather, the Japanese army marched south from Mukden City in the name of exterminating the People's Party.

"Tang Dujun, this Fengtian City will be handed over to you." The commander of the 19th Division said earnestly.

Tang Yulin nodded and said, "Yes!" In the next place, we must guard this Fengtian City. ”

Watching the Japanese brigade march south on a piece of white snow, Tang Yulin knew that the Japanese had really abandoned Fengtian City and ran away. But he still couldn't associate the departure of the Japanese army with the word "escape".

When the figure of the Japanese army's rearguard troops had not yet received all the news from the telescope of Tang Yulin, the head of Fengtian City, the troops defending the north of the city suddenly sent people over, and the communication officer seemed to be scared enough, the ground on the city was slippery, he ran too quickly to hold his foot, and fell directly to the ground, and directly fell to Tang Yulin's feet, "Tang Dujun, the big thing is not good!" There are a lot of people from the People's Party in the north of the city! ”

"What?" Tang Yulin was taken aback, "How many people came?" ”

"It's too many to count, anyway, the north of the city is full of enemies, and I can't see it clearly." As soon as the communications officer finished speaking, he heard a volley of guns and cannons in the north direction of the city.

"Hurry up and send someone to invite the Japanese back!" Tang Yulin also felt quite excited, the Japanese were going to fight the People's Party, and the People's Party sent it to the door by itself without even having to do it with the Japanese at the moment.

However, the situation did not develop as Tang Yulin thought at all, and the Japanese army should be able to hear the gunfire on the side of Mukden City. But the Japanese rearguard did not immediately turn back, but continued to advance as if they had not heard. Tang Yulin raised his binoculars every few minutes to look at the Japanese army's rear guard, and then watched the Japanese army's figure disappear into the binoculars.

"Hurry ......up, ...... quickly, send someone to call the Japanese back!" I don't know if it's cold in my body or in my heart, Tang Yulin finally shouted with trembling lips.

As soon as Tang Yulin's words fell, he heard someone shouting from inside the city wall, "Brother Tang, Brother Tang!" With the accompanying shout, a man wearing the uniform of an officer of the Beiyang Army rushed to the top of the city, "Brother Tang, the big thing is not good!" The People's Party has attacked the east of the city! Send someone over! ”

Tang Yulin was completely stunned, he grabbed the officer who came to report the news, and shouted: "What the hell is going on? ”

"The People's Party has attacked the east of the city!" That person was the one who poured cold water on Tang Yulin's banquet two days ago, his face was pale, and he looked frightened.

Mukden is also a big city, and even if the head of the city is lost, the attacking People's Party will not be able to capture the whole of Mukden for a while. However, the sound of gunfire is getting closer and denser.

Tang Yulin also tried to send troops to resist, but no one expected that the People's Party would choose to attack Fengtian City at this time. Most of the troops and civilian and military officials dispersed after sending off the Japanese, and now many of them have not returned to their offices, and they cannot find anyone to look for in a hurry.

After another hour or so, the seven or eight cavalrymen who had gone to chase the Japanese finally ran back, "Tang Du Jun, Tang Du Jun!" The Japanese don't believe us, they say we lied to them. So don't return to the army at all! ”

"What the hell did you tell the Japanese?" Tang Yulin asked in a panic.

"We said that the People's Party was coming, and the gunfire was already denser than firecrackers......"

Tang Yulin waved his hand to stop the brothers, "Can you hear the gunshots in the Japanese?" ”

"I can't hear it very clearly, but I can hear it. The sound of the cannon was much clearer. The Northeast Army, who asked the Japanese to come back, hurriedly replied.

"it!" Tang Yulin shouted, his body shaking. Fortunately, a few brothers around him hurriedly reached out to support him, otherwise Tang Yulin would have fallen to the ground. Holding the head of the city, he gasped several times, and the cold air in winter finally allowed Tang Yulin's lung function to recover. At this time, it is very clear that the Japanese really ran away. Not only ran away, but the Japanese also used Fengtian and Tang Yulin's subordinates as bait. Tang Yulin knew that he was still quite lucky, and he finally had the opportunity to understand things. If the People's Party attacked half a day late, Tang Yulin would really dare to stupidly defend Fengtian.

After thinking about this, Tang Yulin glanced at the group of subordinates in front of him, and immediately had a calculation in his heart. The Japanese let themselves be bait, and Tang Yulin couldn't let others know about it. He first ordered a few people in the city who knew the situation to follow him back to the city to "restore command".

After controlling a few insiders, Tang Yulin ordered his troops to set up defensive lines in several neighborhoods of Mukden. Tang Yulin also did not have much confidence in these lines of defense. No one knows whether those people will be able to stop the People's Party. Tang Yulin asked the people below to pass the order, "We can't beat the Japanese, but the People's Party is all Chinese, what are we afraid of?" Let the brothers fight hard, as long as it can block until noon, five oceans per person! "With such a reward, the Northeast Army can be regarded as a morale boost.

After arranging these, Tang Yulin immediately rushed to the city with the informed personnel and his relatives. The people who saw Tang Yulin's whereabouts naturally felt very relieved. Tang Yulin shouted that he was going to "restore the command", and if he wanted to restore the command, he could only go to the city. These Northeast troops at the head of the city naturally couldn't see it, and the direction Tang Yulin went to was his current official residence "Fengtian Governor's Military Mansion".

In the sound of guns and cannons all over the city, Tang Yulin rushed into the house with a group of people. As soon as he entered, he immediately asked the house to pack up the valuables. Tang Yulin's family had long been frightened by the sound of gunfire, and when they heard Tang Yulin's shouting, someone immediately began to pack up all kinds of valuable belongings.

Tang Yulin thought that he would be able to pack up all kinds of things soon, but he didn't expect that after being busy for a while, he didn't have a clue at home. But I saw large bags and small bags of things being carried back and forth, and there were still a few boxes that five or six people couldn't lift. Seeing the box, Tang Yulin remembered that it was the thing he used to store the silver dollars. He thought viciously, "If I had known, I would have gotten a few cellars and buried these silver dollars!" ”

The direction of the gunfire outside was constantly moving, originally to the north of the city, then to the east of the city, and now to the west of the city. Tang Yulin already knew from experience that the danger was approaching, but when he saw the money he had obtained by all kinds of methods, Tang Yulin was anxious in his heart, and he couldn't help but scold his wives, "Don't take this!" Take that! ”。

However, Tang Yulin is also a bandit who has been accumulating years of history, and he knew that something was wrong after arguing for a while. He no longer pointed fingers, but tucked a small heavy box under his arm, and led two guards inside. Bypassing the others, the three of them went straight to the back door, opened the door and slipped out.

"Big brother, let's not care about the people here?" The guard walked a few steps, and remembered the big boxes and small boxes inside, and couldn't help but ask.

"Where can I manage so much at this time, hurry up." Tang Yulin said.

"Where is this going?" The guards still didn't figure it out right away.

"Hurry up and leave the land of Fengtian, which is right and wrong, and talk about the future later!" Tang Yulin said as he hurried forward. At this time, every house in Fengtian City was closed, the doors were locked, and the roads were empty. It's just that there are more pedestrians on the street, and the snow is trampled on porcelain, Tang Yulin is talking and walking with a heavy small box, and he accidentally stepped on a slippery foot, and one fell down, and the small box came out of his hand. After falling to the ground, the lid of the box was broken open, and a pile of gold bars rolled out of it.

The two guards had never seen so many yellow and heavy gold bars, and they were stunned for a while. Tang Yulin hurriedly rushed over and stuffed the gold bars into the box. As soon as he put it away, he heard a sound of footsteps in front of him, and when he looked up, it was his old acquaintance Wang Yongjiang who appeared in front of Tang Yulin with a team of soldiers.

"Yo! Tang Dahu, it seems that this errand of the Fengtian Overseer is done! Wang Yongjiang said with a sneer. There was a loud roar of guns, and the soldiers behind Wang Yongjiang had already aimed their guns at Tang Yulin and the two guards behind him.

Tang Yulin was already squatting on the ground, but now that the situation was not right, he knelt down for Wang Yongjiang by taking advantage of the situation. "Brother Wang! Brother Wang! For the sake of the love we knew each other before, please let me live. This ......, these gold bars are all given to you, all to you! ”

Wang Yongjiang saw that Tang Yulin was still like this, he couldn't help but sneer, "Tang Dahu, I thought that you had taken refuge with the Japanese and put on the name of Fengtian Overseer, and it would always be different from before. I didn't expect your thief bones to have not changed at all, and he still did this! ”

Too lazy to continue to say anything more to Tang Yulin, Wang Yongjiang waved his hand, "Arrest him!" ”

The battle against Mukden began quickly and ended faster. Tang Yulin's department was originally a gathering of desperate bandits, and without the Japanese to maintain order, Tang Yulin would not be able to really bring these people together. In the face of the surprise attack of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, these people were on the verge of collapse. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army captured Shenyang in less than a day.

Wang Yongjiang had been assigned an errand as a "liaison," and when he learned that the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army had "feinted" on Mukden, he felt that it was impossible to make any substantial progress. I never expected the Japanese to go so simply, and Tang Yulin's resistance was so insignificant. The scattered resistance of the Northeast Army collapsed immediately under light machine gun fire, and the troops spent far more time and energy on capturing prisoners than the battle itself. Wang Yongjiang simply led people straight to the Fengtian Governor's Mansion, but he didn't expect to catch Tang Yulin directly.

Even Tang Yulin, the nominal supreme commander of Fengtian, was arrested, and the others were not a problem at all. Wang Yongjiang admired the decisive decision of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to turn a feint attack into an offensive in accordance with the changes in the situation. At the same time, Wang Yongjiang, a native of the Northeast, was also extremely ashamed of the bandit nature exposed by the Northeast Army.

When the siege of Shenyang was basically over, Wang Yongjiang wanted to go to Mu Husan to discuss matters after taking over Shenyang, but he didn't expect that Mu Husan was not in the city at all. No matter how Wang Yongjiang asked where Mu Husan was, the comrades in the unit replied with the word "I don't know."
