He was the most greedy general of the Northeast Army, and he had to collect taxes when the people dumped garbage, and he also received it in 1972
In addition to the more famous Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Zongchang, there is one more person who has to be mentioned, he is Tang Yulin, one of Zhang Zuolin's "three major cadres". Tang Yulin, like Zhang Zuolin, was born as a bandit, because he saved Zhang Zuolin's life twice, so Zhang Zuolin has always regarded him as a brother and turned a blind eye to his shortcomings, and Tang Yulin's biggest shortcoming is greed for money.
How greedy is Tang Yulin, when he was in charge of Rehe, he spent just one year arranging his relatives in all important departments of Rehe, including the chiefs of 16 bureaus, offices, and departments, do you think that Tang Yulin has many relatives, in fact, the heads of these 16 bureaus are actually Tang Yulin's two sons, and both of them hold several positions.
In addition, at that time, there were 3 regiments stationed in Chengde City, the capital of Rehe Province, and the leaders of the three regiments were Tang Yulin's third, fourth and fifth brothers. Even his nephew was a cripple, and he could not join the army according to reason, but he could become the commander of the engineer battalion. In addition, there were a large number of chaotic relatives who could hold various positions, so when the salaries of civil servants and troops in Rehe Province were paid, they were actually sent to Tang Yulin's family.
In order to get money, Tang Yulin issued taxation targets to various departments in Rehe, raising chickens and ducks to pay taxes, killing pigs and slaughtering sheep to pay taxes, marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter-in-law to pay taxes, even dumping garbage at the door of the house also had to pay taxes... There are even more outrageous ones, such as the taxes of Jingsha County and Weichang County, which were levied in 1972, which is more powerful than crossing!
Tang Yulin's eldest son, the director of the Anti-Smoking Bureau, should have banned opium, but in order to collect more money, he went so far as to privately demand that every household should grow opium, and then fined farmers on the grounds that they were found to be growing opium. This is really shameless to the extreme, and it is estimated that even the corrupt officials now dare not do this!
After the September 18 Incident, the Japanese devils invaded the three eastern provinces and set their sights on Rehe. At that time, the Nationalist government sent Song Ziwen and Zhang Xueliang to inspect the defense of Rehe, and Tang Yulin had 200,000 troops, well-equipped, and deployed on the Chifeng front line. ”
Tang Yulin can be said to be one of the most greedy warlords in the Republic of China period, how far can he be greedy for money? The tax in his hands was not stopped until after the founding of the country, before Tang Yulin was in the time when He led the army, all aspects of Rehe were basically controlled by his own people, and Tang Yulin was able to achieve that the fat water did not flow to the fields of outsiders, and if he did not have any relationship with Tang Yulin at that time, it was impossible to become an official.
The most important official positions in the whole of Rehe are all in Tang Yulin's audience, the biggest benefit of which is to allow Tang Yulin to unscrupulously amass wealth in this area of Rehe, after a series of policies formulated by Tang Yulin, the Rehe area has formulated various taxes, not only red things and white things to pay taxes, shops and stalls to pay taxes, even raising a poultry pet, dumping a garbage, etc. to pay taxes to Tang Yulin.
But although Tang Yulin said this, he only thought of his family's property in his heart, so when the soldiers were fighting with the enemy, Tang Yulin suddenly transferred 200 trucks, and the soldiers of the automobile battalion thought that they were going to transport supplies to the front line, but it turned out that Tang Yulin used to carry his personal property.
Some people were not accustomed to it, so they reported Tang Yulin's behavior to Sun Dianying. As a result, Sun Dianying was also a money fan, and he directly robbed Tang Yulin of dozens of cars of things in the name of wartime smuggling. When the Japanese army captured Tang Yulin's hometown, his family's property had not yet been moved, so he found 30 camels to form a camel caravan and continue to carry the silver dollar treasure.
Later, Tang Yulin's smuggling of property was exposed, and he was denounced by the common people, so the Nationalist government ordered the arrest of Tang Yulin, but Tang Yulin was hiding in the concession, and the Nationalist government could not do anything with him. However, Tang Yulin still has a bottom line, the Japanese have repeatedly asked him to go out of the mountains to be a traitor, but Tang Yulin, who has always been greedy for money, chose to refuse.
