Zhang Hanqing further exercised his power with Sun Liechen and ordered the military police to arrest Tang Yulin on the grounds of investigating Tang Yulin's relationship with Feng Delin for alleged leaks.Tang Yulin led two companies and fled to Xinmin Village.After Tang left, Zhang Zuolin was furious, but Zhang Hanqing thought it was a good thing to keep the troops pure.He said to Zhang Zuolin: "It's a good thing that Tang Yulin is gone. Without him, the party would still be successful. With him, the situation would be disrupted. But my father should comfort the group of people who followed him in time, so that there will be no more mass defections."

So after some deliberation, Zhang Zuolin wrote a very earnest letter to Tang Yulin regardless of the resentment or anxiety of the whole teacher. The full letter is as follows:

"Brother Gechen: I have been a close friend for 17 years in adversity, but I have not seen each other before parting. My brother is heartbroken! Can my brother's heart not be hurt? Recalling that when I was in Sanglinzi, there were 63 people including my brother, Fuchen and my younger brother. Bullied by Hong Fuchen, Xu Hanwu and other big groups. Jin Shoushan colluded with Russian soldiers and attacked at night. We risked our lives and rushed out of the siege. To take a breather. And surrendered to Xinmin, my younger brother served as the supervisor, and my elder brother served as the left sentry officer. My brother captured Du Lishan alive and made the first outstanding achievement. My younger brother was promoted to the commander of the front road patrol, and my elder brother was promoted to the second battalion supervisor. Afterwards, I went to Taonan , Suppressing the 'Mongolian Bandit' 27 toothpick, Tao Shitao, etc., the younger brother was surrounded by the yurt twice, and the older brother rushed there. The younger brother was grateful, and the older brother comforted him and said: "I don't want to live together, but I hope to die together." The words are still in my ears, Yongshi Fuxuan. In the autumn of 53, General Zhao sent a telegram back to the province. Chaos was imminent and people panicked. My brother led his troops to capture Hengliu, Zhang Rong and other important leaders overnight. Because of commanding the patrol on the middle road, he was reorganized into the [-]th Division of the Army. The younger brother served as the division commander, and the older brother was promoted to the commander of the [-]rd brigade. After General Duan resigned, his younger brother served as the governor and governor of the province. Others saw that our division was united and strong, and the future was developing smoothly. For more than ten years , to grow the military and political affairs of the whole province, because of jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, sowing dissension, multi-party sabotage, the facts are all there, and there is no need to be investigated. The most precious thing in life is life. In times of adversity, we swore to live and die together, Even because of the difference in words, I regard him as a stranger. My brother has always valued loyalty, but now he does not think about the past, does not think about the old rain, and is determined to leave. This brother is deeply puzzled and the most distressed. Besides, the father's spirit is floating. Unfinished, the old mother is still in the hall, still waiting to be cared for, brothers, wives, concubines, and grandchildren, etc., the number of index fingers is increasing day by day, and the expenses are increasing day by day. The brother is not looking for himself, nor is he thinking about the whole family? , The day can be shown. Today I will go without saying goodbye, there is no way to keep it, when will I change my mind, I am willing to come together, we will share wealth and wealth, I will never break my word, the book is not full of meaning, I hope to understand."

(Note): Notes on the names of the people in the letter: 27. Jin Dingchen was later the head of a regiment of the [-]th Division. He violated the law and discipline, and was executed by Zhang in prison.[-]. The Zhao family is the spouse of Zhang Zhiyuan, and Zhao Xigu, the Fengtian representative who attended the Xuzhou Conference, is a member of his clan.[-]. Zhang Zuoxiang's character is Fuchen, and the family's fifth is Zhang Jinghui.[-]. Du Lishan is a well-known bandit leader in the green forest. He harassed the local area. Zhang invited him to drink swallows together, and he was captured at the banquet.[-]. Tao Shitao and others are the leaders of Mongolian bandits.Sixth, Zhang Rong is Zhang Rong, a member of the Revolutionary Party.[-]. In the paragraph "Others see that our division is strong...and destroy it in many ways", others refer to Feng Delin.

Zhang Zuolin was unable to write, but he dictated this letter, remembering the old friendship and half-life history, it is a letter expressing true feelings. The generals of the 27th Division saw that the general was so benevolent and righteous to a traitor general, and they all respected Zhang Zuolin from the bottom of their hearts.Tang Yulin's departure happened to be a good reason for the 27th Division to get rid of the waste and save the essence.Without Tang Huhu, Zhang Hanqing's purge of the army suddenly had many fewer obstacles.

After Tang Yulin left, Zhang Zuoxiang, who had served as a escort, took over as the commander of the 53rd brigade.For him, Zhang Hanqing is at ease: Zhang Zuoxiang has always been loyal to the Zhang family in history. After the Shenyang Huanggutun car bombing incident, Zhang Zuolin was killed, and Zhang Zuoxiang devoted himself to assisting the marshal Zhang Xueliang.Zhang Xueliang also respected Zhang Zuoxiang very much, calling him old uncle and assistant commander, and made his original wife Yu Fengzhi the goddaughter of Zhang Zuoxiang's second wife Hua Futian, and the relationship has always been close.Many people think that Zhang Zuoxiang is Zhang Zuolin's brother, but Zhang Hanqing, who traveled through time, understands that Zhang Zuoxiang is from Yi County, Jinzhou, and Zhang Zuolin is from Fengtian Haicheng County.They are just a coincidence of names and have no clan relationship.However, since the two sworn brothers twice, and they were both important people in the Kanto region, people who didn't know the details all speculated and misrepresented in this way.

Seeing that Zhang Zuolin and his son did not hesitate to confront their powerful generals coldly in order to protect themselves, Wang Yongjiang, who has always relied on his talent and conceit, was also greatly moved.He devoted himself to the affairs of the Fengtian police circle with more enthusiasm.Thanks to his efforts, the provincial capital of Fengtian has experienced a rare stable situation for many years, and the public security situation has reached the best ever.Zhang Zuolin was also praised by the provincial capital for his ability to know and employ people.

Foreign recommendation does not avoid enmity, even sparseness can make relatives.

Zhang Zuolin's brother-in-law was working as a guard by his side, relying on the name of the commander-in-chief, doing mischief outside, having nothing to do at night, and even using the street lamp as a target, smashing all the street lamps, the municipal construction staff knew this was very angry, but dared Angry dare not speak.When Zhang Zuolin heard about this incident, he said angrily: "I'll kill him." His subordinates said all good things in consideration of Zhang Zuolin's face, and asked for a lenient punishment.Zhang Zuolin personally enforced the law that night.The family members didn't understand how they shot people to death when a few light bulbs were broken and they were replaced with new ones.Zhang Zuolin said: "If you make mistakes at home, you will lose face to me, Zhang Zuolin, but if you wreak havoc outside, it will ruin the atmosphere of Fengtian City!"

From now on, the people in the Marshal's Mansion will be more cautious in their words and deeds, and no one will be perverse and make trouble.The people of Fengtian City knew about this and respected Zhang Zuolin even more.It is said that Dashuai Zhang has his own rules in handling affairs, and no one can violate them.

After half a year of hard work, Zhang Zuolin gained support in the provincial capital, coupled with the orthodoxy of Fengtian General, Feng Delin, the general in the same city, could no longer return to his previous arrogance.Zhang Jianqiang and Feng Jianweak, the balance of victory is tilting sharply towards Zhang Zuolin.

The incident with Tang Yulin prompted Zhang Zuolin to make up his mind to improve the status and strength of his guards.As the saying goes, father and son fight in battle. The former captain of the guard, Yu Zhen, failed to deal with Tang Yulin's "rebellion" incident and faded out of Zhang Zuolin's sight. As his eldest son, Zhang Hanqing naturally became the best candidate to lead this team.Soon after, Zhang Hanqing took office and became the brigade commander of the Guard Brigade of the Governor's Mansion.

Because of Zhang Hanqing's status as a young marshal and his absolute control, he was able to take the opportunity to place a group of mid- and low-level officers he had met in the Fengtian Lecture School of Martial Arts into various newly created posts.The establishment is large and the manpower is small, so all the officers who follow Zhang Hanqing have a chance to be promoted. People say that "following the young commander has a bright future."With the passage of time, Zhang Hanqing gradually established a foundation in the Fengjun—the establishment of the middle division of the army in the early Republic of China was to imitate Germany, with 2 brigades and 4 regiments (in addition, the division was directly under an artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment), Zhang Zuolin The 27th Division under his command is no exception.Zhang Hanqing was fortunate to manage a guard brigade of the same level alone, which can be said to be one of the best in the world.In addition, this army is Zhang Zuolin's own army and is led by the "Prince", so the natural treatment and equipment are not the same.

Then Zhang Zuolin exercised his power to oversee the army, and successively incorporated the rear patrol team stationed in Taonan and the right patrol team of Ma Longtan stationed in Fengcheng, and finally made the four traditional armed forces of Fengtian into Feng Delin and himself.

For the sake of safety, Zhang Hanqing placed the guard brigade at various important passes in the provincial capital to prevent accidents.On the one hand, continue to promote Guo Songling and arrange him as his most important deputy----I have limited military capabilities, but Guo Songling is indeed a talent, and currently has no intentions and strengths to oppose the Zhang family, so you can use it with confidence .Anyway, in his own guard brigade, theoretically counted as Zhang Zuolin's private army, traditionally less subject to outside interference.
