Hanoi County. Shuanglin Town. Shang Vu and Jia Xu decided to go to the town to see what was going on in Hanoi.

The situation in Hanoi still looks tense, as can be seen in the role of the militia police in the role of the gendarmerie police, who maintain law and order and are very vigilant. At the very least, Shang Wu and Jia Xu have been checked several times. Both Shang Wu and Jia Xu believe that this is very good, and at the very least, the local order is stable. This is a very big advantage for the Republican Army, and this advantage can maximize the stability of the rear of the Republican Army.

"Sir, do you need to carry your luggage? Do I need to stay in a hotel? A boy who looked like he was only fifteen years old stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, but aren't you supposed to be in school at your age?" Shang Wu asked actively. Several of the nearby guards were nervous. But Jia Xu signaled them not to be overly nervous. Shang Wu and Jia Xu and his party appeared here dressed as businessmen, and only in this way can they see the most real situation.

"I was stupid and learned that. I have to work and support myself. Sir, do you need to carry luggage? I know of a small farm yard for rent, which is very clean, has hot water and can take a bath. The boy said.

"Okay. Take us there. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"Okay. Mr. The boy said very happily.

"What's your name?" Shang Wu asked the young man who took the salute. The salute was not too heavy, mainly some stationery, and a few clothes. It is considered to be the personal belongings of Shang Wu himself.

"Everyone else calls me Atu. The soil of the land. I can write that word, and it is still taught by Mr. in the school, and Mr. teaches us, and when I see people like you, I must also call Mr., because this is the name of the Republican Army. It's politeness. The boy said.

"It seems that you have learned a lot of things, but, why didn't you continue to study, according to what I know, the Republican Army still has many schools that can be recruited through exams, in that case, your future is still very good, and the Republican Army has relaxed restrictions in this regard. You can give it a try. Shang Wu suggested.

"Nope. Sir, I can't learn, there's too much knowledge. People like me can't learn at all, I can write some words, and arithmetic is fine. I'm very satisfied. Actually, my mother meant to let me go to the army. Because being a soldier can get more bonds, more land. The benefits package is also good. It's a pity that the IRA doesn't want people like me, I'm too thin. I'm not old, and if I'm sixteen, maybe, I can be a signal soldier. Ah Tu said.

"Actually, I was kicked out by my mother." Ah Tu said.

"Oh. Isn't there land for you in the village? Sang-mu asked.

"Sir, you know, the land in the countryside is allotted. The rest of the republican army gave us land bonds, which could be exchanged for money and food, and the problem of food and clothing for our family was solved. However, according to Mr. Xue, employment is a big problem, and we have many children. Like me, the children of the village came out. There is no way, there are many children in the family, and if they are all at home, there may not be enough land. Moreover, the Republican Army encouraged us to come out, so I would go to the town to run the hall, so that we could earn some money and support ourselves, which was very easy to meet generous businessmen. They will also tip. I've already earned more than 50 yuan. Ah Tu seemed to show off.

"It seems that those of us need to tip too." Shang Wu looked at Jia Xu. Jia Xu shook his head helplessly. Jia Xu took out two yuan. Shang Wu took out five yuan and handed it to Ah Tu.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir, sir will definitely make a lot of money." Ah Tu hurriedly said some good things.

"Oh, are there any merchants like us coming here?" Sangmu asked such a question.

"Yes, sir. And businessmen like you come. Moreover, there are quite a few, and I know that there are seven groups of such people, who are very generous and are not afraid of the dangers ahead. Moreover, they also have their own armed forces. Although the number is not very large, they are fierce. Atu said. It seems that Ah Tu has already seen such people.

In Handan, there are indeed some people who are not afraid of death, and in their view, the front line of war is a huge opportunity. They can provide more supplies, and at the same time, there are many markets to be explored, which is the most advantageous opportunity for them to see, and if they lose an opportunity, it is not beautiful.

"Hmm. What about you personally? Do you have any plans? It's unlikely that you'll be a runner like this all the time, and I think it's better to go to school and learn some. Shang Wu said.

"I've already planned it. I'm going to save enough money to do business with those people. The Republican Army is very fair, and, I heard, there are more opportunities to go to Luoyang. We can go over there. We've already contacted several of our friends. Merchants say that there are great opportunities. We want to give it a try too. If you can't, you'll have to work hard. Ah Tu said helplessly.

The so-called hard work. In fact, it is the construction workers, not many people in the countryside can flexibly accept more knowledge, skills, and more information, the republican army did give them more land, the basis for survival, but at the same time, the impact is also very large, rich products, so that those rural people feel the difference in the outside world, for example, mirrors, glass, paper, all kinds of daily necessities make their eyes can't take care of it.

Sangwu still knows a lot of such things, for example, some villages in Hanoi have white paper on the windows, which is the best window paper. But I don't know when, glass has quietly entered the wealthy families, the change in building materials, the impact on the people has become more, not only that, the redundancy of iron products, not only to reduce the price, but also to bring a great impact.

"Well, that's good, you've got a lot of brains. It's also very pioneering. Shang Wu praised. No one knows what they will encounter in the future. Shang Wu can only praise them for continuing like this. There may be some trouble, but for anyone, it's a good one. Because they're planning for their future, and that's a very good thing.

"I really don't know if the impact we have brought to Hanoi is good or bad." Shang Wu said to Jia Xu worriedly.

"I looked at their situation, their food problem has been solved a lot, at the very least, they will not be like before, they will not have enough to eat, you know, this is the most difficult time, their food has been eaten. It will take some time for the food to come down, and they need to borrow money and mortgage to survive. It's a lot of pressure for them. Jia Xu said.

"Now, they can buy food, and when they buy food, they can buy more other daily necessities. I've seen some people who are actually having weddings at this usually the most difficult time. This shows that their situation has improved a lot. Jia Xu told Shangwu everything he saw. Shang Wu nodded. Jia Xu was inspecting. He usually rarely asks about things, but his eyes are able to see things that others can't.

For example, it can be seen from the matter of marriage. Usually, spring is a difficult time, on the one hand, because they need seeds, and on the other hand, because they are about to run out of food for the winter, it is impossible to have a wedding, and most of the weddings are concentrated in autumn. Winter. Spring is not for nothing. But it has to be a big family. Ordinary people can't afford such a thing.

But when the republicans arrived, they allotted land, provided cheap seeds, farm tools, and daily necessities, and at the same time gave more pay. The construction of roads has strengthened the links between the localities. This made the population aware of the benefits of the IRA, and they were willing to follow the IRA.

The first people to get involved quickly became wealthy, and at the very least, it was not a problem for them to eat.

When survival is not the biggest issue, people can have weddings and think about the next generation, which is an extremely important thing for them, and that's what Sangmu is seeing at the moment.

"Well, it's very important and very beneficial for us." Shang Wu said.

"It seems that we are not only bringing these shocks, but also the benefits. Hopefully, this benefit will continue for a long time. Shang Wu said.

Zhang Liao battle group. Zhang Liao had a semi-infantry regiment on hand. But he was deprived of his command. Because there were also higher superiors arriving, he was only a temporary lieutenant colonel. The man who came, it was the colonel. Commanded more than three infantry regiments. Although all of them are made up of recruits. But the power has really strengthened a lot.

But Zhang Liao is annoyed now. Because his superiors don't seem to be very keen on offensive things.

He believed that most of the newly recruited soldiers lacked the spirit of taking the initiative to attack and fight, and he hoped that experienced combat infantry regiments could be mobilized in the rear.

And here, he believes, the most important thing to do is to strengthen the defenses. So his superiors made a very stupid move.

Defense, more than three infantry regiments were crowded nearby, and they drained the entire bridgehead defense on the south bank of the Yellow River. But just don't attack. And Zhang Liao believes that the northern front should actively launch an offensive. Instead of waiting, because waiting is impossible to wait for the enemy to die.

Moreover, this is clearly contrary to the principles of warfare. But his superiors did not listen to these at all, and he also thought that there was no reason to listen to them.
