Chapter 64: A Visit to Zhang Jian
"What's wrong, is there anything else?"
"Instructor, we also seized a batch of big cigarettes, which are estimated to be worth 3-500,000 yuan, I have already had people smuggle them to our ship, and the current ocean and gold have also been transported away, and a batch of meat stamps was found in the dungeon, there are about a dozen people, what should we do with this group of people?"
Chen Xuan glanced at Du Xiao, this kid is not only careful, but also very clever, he deliberately reported the matter of Dayan first, and then mentioned the matter of the hostages, so as to avoid the embarrassment that Chen Xuan needed to find an excuse to talk about Dayan, and without a trace of leading the topic to the hostages.
"Screen, leave a record, take them down the mountain in two days and then let them go home, arrange an independent yard for them, don't eat and drink less of them, try not to expose our strength, as for those captives, unify them in one place to manage, give them some food, don't starve to death, send them to Nanyang, and find a way for them to live!"
"Instructor merciful! These bandits must be grateful, and dare not forget the kindness of the instructor. β
"Don't be a sycophant, get out of here!"
"Gotcha, instructor, get out of the way right away!"
Du Xiao trotted away with a smile, Chen Xuan rested again to ease his spirits, and then went to visit the bandit's camp, the corpses on the field had been cleaned up by the prisoners under the command of the brothers of the escort team, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air, which made Chen Xuan's stomach a little pantothenic.
The people in the escort team from Jiang Fangzhen to the bottom were all busy, and naturally no one came to accompany Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan took Li Lizhu and Zhang Guangyuan to inspect the camp, and the two boys were still excitedly comparing who killed the most.
In fact, Chen Xuan still has some contradictions in his heart about this crackdown on bandits, these bandits, to put it bluntly, are a group of off-duty farmers struggling to survive in this troubled world, of course, in the later stage, there are some people who are not as good as beasts who burst out of their bestiality after having strength, killing and seizing the weak people who were once like him, and doing a lot of things that are not as good as beasts, Chen Xuan actually has some sadness in his heart, this crackdown on bandits, right and wrong, and there is nothing to be proud of.
Visiting the bandits' cottage, Chen Xuan faintly felt that in fact, even Wu Da Scar was also pathetic, this person was also a figure worth millions of subordinates, but he walked all over the cottage, but there was no decent building, even the house where Wu Da Scar lived was just a thatched house that was larger than other minions, but to say that Chen Xuan regretted it, if he had another chance, Chen Xuan would still break up all these bandits and kill Wu Da Scar, not because he was not forgiven, but in this era, his position is different, No one has a choice.
"Brother Fang Zhen, are you done?"
Chen Xuan saw that Jiang Fangzhen's face was a little blue, and walked over.
"Yiyang, what do you think of this battle?"
"Alas, they are all poor people, but we have to kill peopleγγγγγγ"
"I'm not asking about this, I'm asking about Yiyang's consideration of strategy and tactics? Could it be that the high-achieving students from Saint-Cyr have the same command ability? β
Chen Xuan understood that Jiang Fangzhen was dissatisfied with Chen Xuan's unauthorized behavior of taking the lead in the charge, and Chen Xuan also knew that his behavior was really impulsive, so he had to laugh dryly.
"Yiyang," Jiang Fangzhen looked into the distance and said calmly: "Your life is no longer yours alone, you are not only the helmsman of Zhenhua Group, tens of thousands of people rely on you to eat, and you are also the leader of the Baath Party, many people because they agree with your ideas, give up their studies, give up their future, and even the original ideals, and return to China without hesitation to join you, Mr. Yuanpei, Mr. Youren, and many people who study in Europe and the United States or have a better future are also the same, if, I mean if, You have unfortunately died, and you have died for a group of bandits who swim at the bottom of the kettle, how do you let us all deal with ourselvesγγγγγγ β
Chen Xuan's heart suddenly hurt like a knife prick, and his heart was twitching in pain, didn't he understand these truths, obviously not, he even understood much more deeply than Jiang Fangzhen, he knew what kind of situation he would need to face in the future, if it weren't for these, would he still insist on guarding the situation of Zhenhua and the Baath Party?
According to his previous character, he was afraid that he would abandon everything, what Baath Party leader, what Zhenhua CEO, and how could he get Zhang Youwei's smile, he was afraid that he would have left everything to find Zhang Youwei, no matter whether he went to heaven or earth, he would also find her.
"I know, Brother Fang Zhen, there won't be such a situation next time."
Chen Xuan replied astringently.
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just telling you that in this era, especially my generation of soldiers, they have already regarded themselves as dead people, it's just a matter of time before they dieγγγγγγ"
Chen Xuan shook his hand and didn't answer, just slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, looking at the sunset in the distant mountains, he was tired, these days, whether it was waking up during the day or dreaming at night, Zhang Youwei's figure was always in his world, waking up from nightmares countless times, seeing Zhang Youwei smiling and encouraging him, wanting him to become a better personγγγγγγ
After sending the last batch of prisoners, it was already three days later, these prisoners were men and women, old people and children, Chen Xuan did not know whether these people could live to Nanyang, but he knew that if these people stayed, I was afraid that it would be difficult to live for a month, with the hatred of the people of Nantong for them, the bandits who lost their weapons and organizations would definitely not be able to escape the desire of the people to make meritorious contributions to the officers and soldiers.
The hostages of the bandit kidnapping ticket were also put down yesterday, so the news of the disappearance of the bandits in Mangniu Mountain spread all over Nantong at once, and the name of the Shanghai Zhenhua Escort Team spread throughout southern Jiangsu at once, but the vast majority of them had never seen the escort at all, and all kinds of rumors flew around, saying everything, but one thing is certain, after Zhenhua's caravan passed through southern Jiangsu, not many forces were willing to provoke.
Chen Xuan had already commanded the captives to move the useful materials in the cottage to the bottom of the mountain, and asked people to select about 150 war horses for cavalry training, and then after burning the cottage, Chen Xuan took Jiang Fangzhen and about 20 guards who changed into black guard uniforms, and drove the remaining cattle, sheep, horses and unused grain to Zhang's house in Changle Town.
Zhang Jian's first impression of Chen Xuan was elegance, the kind of temperament that belongs to the unique temperament of Chinese literati, which has nothing to do with height and appearance, which makes people feel close and dare not have the slightest disrespect, and at the same time gives people an unreserved sense of trust, the so-called gentlemanly demeanor of the West looks so naΓ―ve and ridiculous in front of this Chinese literati temperament.
"Chen Xuan, a junior in Shanghai, has seen Ji Lao, how can the younger generation dare to work Ji Lao!"
Chen Xuan didn't dare to be careless, stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and Jiang Fangzhen also stepped forward to salute.
"Mr. Chen is too modest, and in a few days, he will remove a big harm for my southern Jiangsu, and the old man is a native of southern Jiangsu, and he has the shame to replace the millions of old and young people in southern Jiangsu to thank Mr. Chen."
Chen Xuan dared to accept Zhang Jian's courtesy, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.
"You are Chen Xuan, Daddy said that you are very good at trading, and I will definitely be even better than you in the future!"
A cute little boy in his teenage years tilted his head and said to Chen Xuan with a serious face, everyone laughed, Zhang Jian introduced that this is his youngest son Zhang Xiaoruo, now 11 years old, Chen Xuan will not know that this child is one of the four famous sons of the Republic of China.
"Xiaoruo, my brother is not the most powerful, like your father, you have to understand why the people who do business are the most powerful, so you should aim for your father in order to be the most powerful!"
Chen Xuan stretched out his hand to pick up Zhang Xiaoruo, Zhang Jian laughed, holding Chen Xuan with one hand and Jiang Fangzhen with the other, and walked towards the gate of Zhang's house.
Chen Xuan presented the gift list, he gave Zhang Jian all the weapons seized from the bandit cottage, and added 50 Mauser rifles and 20 Mauser short guns, these weapons he didn't look down on, but Zhang Jianlai's family was still very useful, and there were also remaining horses and other materials, which were also given to the Zhang family.
Zhang Jian is worthy of being the champion, after a banquet, Zhang Jian's side of the expedition is like a spring breeze, the guests are happy, many points of view gave Chen Xuan a lot of inspiration, in addition, Zhang Jian also pointed out a lot of things about Chen Xuan, so that Chen Xuan was flattered, even Jiang Fangzhen was envious of Zhang Jian's favor for Chen Xuan, but this gave Chen Xuan a very strange feeling, I can't think of a reason, Chen Xuan had to attribute it to God's favor for him.
"Ji Lao, now your old Dasheng Yarn Factory can be said to occupy half of the southeast, I don't know which direction Dasheng will develop in the future?"
"What, what good advice does Yiyang have?"
"I know that Ji Lao has been following the concept of 'industry to save the country', and has been vigorously developing education to enlighten people's livelihood.
"You always know the situation in southern Jiangsu best, although the scale of your old Dasheng yarn factory is now the largest in China, but for the cotton production in southern Jiangsu, it is still a drop in the bucket, most of the cotton farmers' output is either sold to foreigners at a low price, or rotten in the ground, if you are always interested, we Zhenhua can cooperate with Dasheng to build a larger factory, so that cotton farmers can increase income and reduce losses, in addition to seizing the market of foreign cloth, the development of national industry."
"Then what kind of cooperation is Yiyang going to take?"
"The younger generation now has no specific plan, but the younger generation is ready to hold a small commodity fair in Pudong at the end of this month, if you have time, please come and give some guidance to the younger generation, and at the same time the products of the students can also be exhibited at the expo, so that the students also have certain benefits, and then the two will conduct specific negotiations, what do you think of this?"
"Hehe, it turns out that your kid is here to trick the old man into participating in your persuasion meeting, okay, I will definitely take the time to participate in it when the time comes, and see what you have developed."
