Chapter 20 Blind to the Great Country

The Luzhou Military Government's policy decision is really becoming more and more incomprehensible.

Since the incident at the Jinjiutang Public Hospital, the power of the Japanese military has been weakened, and the decision-making power has fallen into the hands of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. Relying on the power of the Chamber of Commerce, the ronin wandered around all day long, picking quarrels and provoking troubles, and at the slightest disagreement, they would add fists and feet, and swords faced each other.

In the face of frequent conflicts and bullying, the Luzhou government showed great tolerance and patience, not only turning a blind eye to the atrocities of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, but also demanding that the people maintain "the courtesy and respect that a state of etiquette should have," and even refusal, resistance, and retaliation after the fact.

At first, people pinned their hopes on the police, but soon found that their reports were either lost in stone or reversed, and no one paid attention to their grievances, causing a big fuss, and they would be punished.

Later, spontaneous demonstrations began to be carried out in an attempt to express their discontent in this way, and there were inevitably verbal and physical clashes along the way, which soon escalated into small-scale riots, which forced the authorities to send troops to suppress them, but this repression was still unilateral to the people, and together with the minions of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, the guns were turned on the unarmed citizens.

Just like the old wooden building of the Jinjiutang Public Hospital, the justice and light of Luzhou seem to have burned to ashes along with the fire, leaving behind the endless darkness of the long night, the stars and the moon are not shining, and the dawn, in the tacit silence of the people in power, is far away, as if it will never come.

It was on this cold night that someone finally made a different sound, they were well-trained, well-equipped, and their intelligence was accurate, and they had never been injured by mistake, let alone missed. Rather than saying that they are messengers sent by God to save Luzhou from fire and water, people are more willing to believe that they are the spirits of the dead who have returned from hell to ask for their lives, and they will drag the wicked people who have done all the bad things into the sea of purgatory, and they will never be able to live beyond the fire!

It is also said that these assassins were Liu Jin's subordinates, because their actions were too professional and their intelligence was so accurate that it was frightening, and this time, Yun Shuai, who had always been intolerant of foreigners spreading wild on Chinese soil, was too silent.

But there is no conclusive evidence, and it is just speculation after all.

The Japanese and the Luzhou government were convinced of the frequent assassinations, but the matter of the Jinjiutang Public Hospital had already pushed Liu Jin to the brink of resistance, not to mention how powerful the three giant cannons above the city were, that is, any heavy cannon on his ship could easily raze most of Luzhou to the ground.

According to the original plan, the incident at Jinjiutang Public Hospital should have killed Liu Jin and Lin Wanjing in one fell swoop, but Lin Wanjing, who never thought that her whereabouts in the fire, became a sad card for Liu Jin, not only clearing his suspicion in one fell swoop, but also earning enough tears of sympathy from public opinion.

Later, they had the opportunity to take Lin Wanjing as a hostage and coerce Liu Jin to hand over the control of the fleet, but who knew that if they were not careful, this seemingly powerless daughter dared to take risks alone and escaped, like a drop of water that melted into the sea, and there was no way to search for it.

With Liu Jin's strength, it is easy to investigate Lin Wanjing's house arrest by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce; Now that Lin Wanjing has escaped, he must know it. And he swallowed his anger so far, the only explanation is that he still thinks of his compatriot relationship with Liu Ming, and perhaps, there is still a little pity for the people of Luzhou.

At this point, they guessed correctly - Liu Jin relented after all, and asked him to point the gun at his hometown, but he couldn't do it.

The morning meeting in the military port has been changed from once a month to once a day, but it is not necessary for all the crew to be there, but the captains in the port gather in Liu Jin's office to drink tea and chat about current affairs.

Otherwise, how can it be said that Liu Jin is well versed in the way of leading troops and employing people - the more the war is imminent, the more it cannot be tightened too tightly, and no matter how strong the string is, it will be tired and will break, not to mention the hearts of the people?

"Have you read the newspaper? The few raped girls who were sent in a few days ago were just closed, and they were released again in a few days! ”

"Look! Bullshit security team, none of them have backbone! Young marshal! If this group reoffends, can they be killed? ”

Liu Jin was reading the official document of the day, and when he heard someone asking, he didn't let go of what he was doing, and raised his eyebrows:

"Kill? Too cheap for them. Castrated, life and death depend on creation. ”

"Okay! Let's have a good time! ”

"That's it! Our boss is doing something, it is necessary! The previous time in the Zhugang branch, it was called a hatred relief! ”

A week ago, the Wang family in Zhugang Town was not accustomed to seeing the Japanese Chamber of Commerce bullying and dominating the market, and some conflicts broke out, and after the gendarmerie arrived, they thought that the matter had been resolved, but who knew that the Wang family of 13 was tragically wiped out that night, from 80-year-old women to 3-year-old children.

However, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, the Zhugang Branch of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce was slaughtered all over the field by unknown people in a few days, and it was burned cleanly. The vault was looted, and on the second day, every household in Zhugang Town received a share of money of varying amounts, bundles of cash and silver dollars, which were placed in the rice jar safely, as if the heavenly officials had blessed them, and everyone was amazed.

"It was done cleanly and deserves a lot of credit. Wei Chi, you kid has courage! ”

"Young Marshal Xie praises!"

"Today's morning newspaper also said that the Japanese Chamber of Commerce wants to exchange the land of Jinjiutang Public Hospital for ten acres of mountainous land in the northwest suburbs, and it is said that the municipal government has approved it."

Hearing this, Liu Jin put down the documents in his hand, got up and walked silently to the map - one is the intersection of the hinterland of the fishing port, and the other is the wasteland in the suburbs that no one cares about.

"Do you know what they want to do with those ten acres of mountainous land?"

"I didn't say it, but it was said to be used as a warehouse."

Warehouse? Northwest suburbs? Most of the goods of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Luzhou are in and out of the seaport, so why bother to send them to inland warehouses for storage?

"This matter has made the Intelligence Bureau continue to pay attention, and if there is any abnormality, it will be reported immediately."

Saying this, Lu Canghan pushed the door in the dust.

"Yo, Brother Canghan, I thought you didn't come today, and the brothers didn't leave you food to eat!"

Lu Canghan didn't want him, walked quickly to the coffee table, and drank the tea he had just poured:

"Those miscellaneous crumbs, wandering around the neighboring sea every day, are like flies, and they can't be driven away! Sick of it! Young marshal, I ask if you can go and talk to your brother, please have a battle order, the brothers really put up with grandma's house! ”

Since the incident, half of the foreign merchants have changed their ports of call and turned to Linxing Province to unload their cargo, and the port taxes and fees lost by Luzhou are extremely considerable, and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce is trying to control the main economic lifeline of Luzhou through this way, and at the same time contain Liu Jin's fleet.

"Yunrou, do you really care? If this continues, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the military salary! ”

"It's their War Department's business that they can't pay their salaries, what does it have to do with us!" The generals on the side sneered, "If you want me to say, there are thousands of mistakes, Liu Bang shouldn't have chosen Adou to be the emperor, and he was blind to the country!" ”

"Shhhh Lao Luo, it's too much! Lu Canghan shouted to stop him, and then looked at Liu Jin's solemn expression and did not speak, but lowered his eyes and turned the ring on his ring finger, which comforted him again:

"Lao Luo's straightforward and fast-talking temperament ......"

"I know." Liu Jin interrupted him, "But it doesn't hurt to say it, besides, this is the truth......
