Chapter 258: Here Are the Guests

After the battle with the 34th Division, the prisoner-of-war camps and prisons in Jiangbei were filled again.

Lin Hongfei was not in a hurry to deal with this group of prisoners. Unlike Hong Tianwu's [Jiangbei Joint Defense Force] before, the Thirty-fourth Division was also a direct formal designation. Naturally, these prisoners could not be executed easily. It also depends on the meaning above.

Not to mention that there were many officers inside, either from Baoding Military Academy or family acquaintances who knew Lin Hongfei.

Anyway, I can always find an acquaintance or a friend to come.

There is no way to attack them.

As for Liu Wanyi, Lin Hongfei naturally couldn't shoot him, after all, the rules of Old Beiyang were there.

Lin Hongfei didn't want to be separated from the entire Lao Beiyang circle because of Liu Wanyi.

Simply, Lin Hongfei detained the soldiers and officers separately to prevent them from collaborating with each other to cause trouble.

As for Liu Wanyi, he was also imprisoned in a small courtyard and sent a platoon of soldiers to guard him day and night.

Liu Wanyi also asked to meet Lin Hongfei midway, but Lin Hongfei ignored him. He was just a prisoner, and he wasted his time on him after being stuffed.

At the same time, the organization of the captured soldiers was also disrupted, and people who did not know each other were locked in the same room.

However, Lin Hongfei was not idle either. Instead, he asked Chen Zhicong, who had taken refuge in him, to help him select some soldiers with relatively high basic qualities from among the prisoners.

Just like the guns and ammunition seized from the 34th Division, Lin Hongfei did not intend to return these high-quality soldiers to the 34th Division.

In Lin Hongfei's words, this is Liu Wanyi's apology to himself!

After some screening and selection, Chen Zhicong selected more than 400 soldiers who met the standard requirements from the prisoners of the 34th Division.

As for whether these people were willing to leave the 34th Division and join the 16th Division as soldiers, with each person having 5 more yuan in their hands, these people were happy and willingly followed Chen Zhicong into the 16th Division's military camp.

In addition to these 400 people, plus the troops under Chen Zhicong and three other regiment commanders.

In this battle with the 34th Division, Lin Hongfei once again expanded his team to 2,000 men, plus one division of weapons and ammunition.

At this time, coupled with the garrisons, mobile troops, new barracks, and militia corps stationed in various places in Jiangbei, the number of soldiers under Lin Hongfei's command had reached more than 11,000, which basically satisfied the establishment of a reorganized division.

But the key point is that there is no such thing as free money for Lin Hongfei here. The registration book says there are more than 11,000 people, but the actual number is more than 11,000 people.

This is completely different from that of the 34th Division, which had 12,000 troops in its registration book but only had 6,000 troops in reality.

In fact, the number of troops actually controlled by Lin Hongfei exceeded that of the governors of individual provinces.

After assuming the position of warlord, you can already be called "handsome".

In a sense, Lin Hongfei is now qualified to be called "handsome" by outsiders.

According to people's common name, they usually take one character from the warlord's name and add the character "handsome".

For example, Wu Dashuai is called Yushuai because of his nickname Ziyu.

Zhang Dashuai, also known as Yushuai because of his nickname Yuting.

Dashuai Sun, whose courtesy name is Xinyuan, is known as Xinshuai.

However, because these three people all held positions above military governors, such as patrol envoys of three provinces and commanders of the coalition forces of five provinces, everyone later called them Marshal Wu, Marshal Zhang, and Marshal Sun.

Lin Hongfei's name came from a time when he was drinking with Qian Minghe. The old man was very happy when he drank. He got interested and got Lin Hongfei's name, "Yun Sheng".

The meaning is very clear. It's not enough to fly high. You have to fly higher, above the clouds, and even higher, to fly directly to the highest place!

Lin Hongfei thought to himself, old man, aren't you afraid that I will fall down when I get tired from flying, and that something will happen if I fall out again?

But he didn't dare to say this, otherwise the old man would be so angry that he would swing his cane and beat Lin Hongfei all over the yard.

Therefore, if Lin Hongfei is called respectfully by the people below, he will have to call him "Yun Shuai".

It’s just that Lin Hongfei is not so high-profile yet. Compared with the false name of [Yun Shuai], he still values ​​​​how many soldiers, how many guns, and how much money he has in hand more!

Not long after the war ended, Jiangdu County welcomed a group of special guests.

They are special because these people are local gentry and prominent figures from Bei'an County and Pingcheng County.

Needless to say, of course, the local gentry in Bei'an County, led by He Shuzhong, Liu Henliang and others, have completely turned to Lin Hongfei's side. This time they came here just to get closer to Lin Hongfei in person.

The Pei family of Pingcheng County also brought a meeting gift this time, which was the commander of the Pingcheng County Militia, Chen Ze, and the heads of a group of confidants!

Since Lin Hongfei and Pei Zongze had a private discussion, Pei Zongze rushed back to his hometown of Pingcheng County overnight.

Pei Feng, the magistrate of Pingcheng County, still cares about his opinion on his most valued nephew.

Lin Hongfei's prediction was correct. There was indeed a big conflict between Pei Feng, the county magistrate, and Chen Ze, the commander of the militia.

Chen Ze wanted to use force to intervene in politics and seize all the military and political power in Pingcheng County.

Naturally, Pei Feng refused to agree. Relying on the Xiangyong composed of the Pei family and several closely related families, he could barely compete with the militia.

However, even in this case, Pei Feng did not agree with Pei Zongze's idea at first, and chose to seek refuge with Lin Hongfei. Pei Feng, who was somewhat cautious, wanted to wait and see.

However, this kind of wait and see did not last long. As the security team of Bei'an County was knocked out and Zhang Tangyu's family was wiped out, Pei Feng realized that what Pei Zongze said was indeed right.

If Lin Hongfei doesn't attack Pingcheng County, it will give face to Pei Zongze, a junior high school student. Otherwise, Zhang Tangyu's family will be the fate of the Pei family in the future!

Without any hesitation, Pei Feng immediately pretended to invite Chen Ze to his home under the banner of "together to defend against foreign enemies" to discuss how to guard against Lin Hongfei.

Chen Ze had no doubts. After all, Lin Hongfei's forces were something he was quite afraid of, so he was naturally happy to attend the banquet.

Then, this banquet became a Hongmen Banquet.

Chen Ze and other close friends were killed, and the vigilante group was dismembered and divided by Pei Feng, making it impossible to become a leader.

Lin Hongfei was very satisfied with the head gift package presented by Pei Feng, which also represented the attitude of the Pei family in coming to seek refuge.

Not only was Lin Hongfei satisfied with this group of guests, he also greeted them with high standards. Not only did he personally host a banquet, but he also took them to the military camp of the 16th Division, as well as the printing and dyeing factories, cotton spinning mills, coke factories, coal mines and other places in Jiangdu County.

After a while.

This is also a way for He Shuzhong, Pei Feng, Liu Henliang and others to flex their muscles and show their strength.

This visit seems to have had an effect.

Because during the whole process, Pei Feng, Liu Hengliang and others looked shocked.

The visit lasted until evening. After Lin Hongfei had a simple dinner with everyone, he returned to the county government office to handle official business.

However, He Shuzhong, Liu Hengliang, Pei Feng and others were a little restless in their residences.

In Pei Feng's yard, I saw him standing under the tree with his hands behind his back, staring at a leaf in a distracted manner, his brain seemed to be thinking about something.
