244 It's snowing
Jingshi, Luoyang.
"Oh, it turns out that the one who won the lottery in the end turned out to be a beggar, damn it, Lao Tzu's luck is not as good as a beggar." A Luoyang man said extremely unfairly.
"No, I spent a hundred dollars and bought fifty tickets, damn it, I didn't win a single one, but you look at two old beggars, they stink, they stink to death. But that's it, people ask for two dollars, and they can do such a thing all at once, this, this is simply an unreasonable thing. Many Luoyang people said dissatisfied. In the end, the winner of the grand prize was finally found. And also an old beggar, and his purchase of lottery tickets was a very unexpected process. Just two dollars, I bought a note very casually, but that's it, people won it all of a sudden. There are many things that are simply unreasonable to do such things.
"There are things that I can't say." Many Luoyang people said helplessly.
And Firefox has long been accustomed to such a thing. Some of them are very random purchases, or they buy a popsicle and get change, or because they have extra money, they want to buy more and more things. In short, such a thing as winning the lottery. Firefox hears too much. Too much.
"Can you tell us about how you won the lottery? What did you think at the time? A little yellow door approached the old beggar with a great stench. The old beggar couldn't stop laughing. Two hundred thousand dollars, which is enough for him to spend for a long time. You can even marry a daughter-in-law. Thinking that he had never even touched a woman in his life, such a thing finally came true. The old beggar became excited.
"At that time, at that time, I felt like I had a flash of inspiration in my head. God treats me well. Gave me two bucks at once. I think that these two coins are idle, it is better to try your luck, my old beggar will be a lifelong thing, maybe it will be done all at once. The other party said.
"Oh. It seems that God really treats you well. Xiao Huangmen recorded it and said. Write something to record something like this. This win, watching others win the lottery, he is not psychologically unbalanced at all, he thinks, don't do anything in this life. Just buy a lottery ticket and maybe you will really win.
Inside the North Palace.
"The winner has finally been found?" Emperor Han Ling asked Zhang Rang impatiently.
"Your Majesty, this man turned out to be an old beggar." Zhang Rang whispered.
"Well, the beggar is also the one who won the lottery, but I think that I will give the prize money to the other party in this way. Isn't it a little too good? Emperor Han Ling asked Zhang Rang.
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Zhang Rang asked cautiously.
"After all, it's not for nothing. If everyone is like this, wouldn't it be that the winner has to steal how much money from the state, and the court really uses the money to collect taxes. Emperor Han Ling waved his sleeves and said.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Rang nodded.
"This Huangfu Song. It's really annoying. In the battle report, it was impossible to rescue the new army in Xiyuan. What does the Northern Army do to eat. Emperor Han Ling said this in annoyance.
"Your Majesty, this red turban thief is good at firearms, we should be careful to deal with it." Zhang Rang cautiously persuaded.
"I understand. But the red scarf thief deceives people too much. I must fight. Emperor Han Ling said. Zhang Rang could only obey such an order. But fighting costs more. Zhang Rang nodded helplessly. There was no money or food in the treasury for a long time. How to fight this battle.
Outside a side hall of the Queen's Palace, the fire fox is appreciating bronzes, which are all things from the Warring States Period, and they are among the best products. Each one of them is a priceless treasure, but unfortunately, these treasures can't be taken out of the palace, in this case, their losses will be great.
"Chang Shi, the one who finally won the lottery has been found. You don't think it's a beggar in the end. Xiaohe said excitedly.
"Hmph, what's strange about this, I guessed at first that it was a housewife who stopped by when she came home from grocery shopping. When I got home, I forgot to win the lottery because I was cooking, doing laundry, and watching the children. I don't know when, but when I remembered it, I won the lottery all at once. This is a human comedy. Firefox carefully put down the bronze in his hand and shook his head, this thing is much more valuable than a lottery ticket.
"But there's one more thing, it's not good. That is, the person who buys the lottery ticket, in the end, has to pay taxes, how much the government wants to take, it all depends on the mood, this kind of thing is generally to take more. Firefox said.
"Why?" Xiaohe asked puzzled.
"Why? It's simple. Think about it, if everyone is like you, they all go to buy lottery tickets, then, who will produce the last thing, who will farm, this kind of thing is actually gambling, but this is organized by the imperial court, such a thing, the state should collect heavy taxes, otherwise, everyone goes to buy lottery tickets, and the country is very bad. Firefox said.
"What the waiter said makes a lot of sense." Xiaohe said.
"It's not that what I say makes sense, it's that the government does it." Firefox said. And Emperor Han Ling is very short of funds, in this case, 200,000 yuan is a lot of money, in this case, Emperor Han Ling took at least 50,000 yuan, and 50,000 yuan is more or less a piece of meat. Judging by the fact that he is promoting the lottery, this thing will definitely do so. However, in this way, the lottery ticket is not worth anything. In this case, the water of the lottery will be drained, hey, there is no way, who let them meet a master who wants to go crazy for money. It's not unusual to be able to do something like this. If you don't do something like this, it's not unusual.
Inside the command of Shang Wu.
"Wang Ming is doing a very good job, if it weren't for Wang Ming, our financial resources might have collapsed long ago." Shang Wu looked at Wang Ming's report and said. By selling a large number of bonds, as well as signing arms pre-sale contracts, Wang Ming once again raised a large amount of money and materials to support the Red Turban Army, which fully guaranteed that the factory could continue to operate, if it were not for Wang Ming, they might not be able to carry out many things, which would form an inevitable situation, in the face of such a situation, Shangwu felt that many things would become out of control.
"In this way, even if our supplies are fully guaranteed, we still have a big problem in this situation." Jia Xu said. Money and materials can support Shangwu in battle, but changes in the situation of the war still cannot make a fundamental change.
"You see, we're currently encircling the enemy too much, too much. The giant deer has become a lonely city. The same is true of Handan in the south, in addition, there are some large and small county seats, although some counties have surrendered, but in a short period of time, we still have many cities to surround us, and these encirclements need to cost us more and more troops. Not only these, but there are also two large enemy groups, one is the New Army of the West Garden, which has attracted nearly 20,000 of our troops here. And the other cluster is Huangfu Song. If these two clusters are not eaten as soon as possible, our situation will still change. The top priority at the moment is to concentrate forces as soon as possible to eat one. Look at one. Jia Xu said.
"Then eat one and watch one." Shang Wu said. Jia Xu nodded. Shang Wu couldn't help but think of the Huaihai Campaign, the U.S. military studied it many times, they thought it was a miracle in the history of the war, as a military personnel, he naturally also carried out relevant research, the current situation is like this, Huangfu Song who went south was very fast, but now he has become very slow. And it may eventually stop. Shang Wu was slow to get the news, and he didn't have a lot of changes on the battlefield.
"Yes. However, at present, what we want to eat most should be Huangfu Song's Northern Army, if the Northern Army eats it, the encircled Xiyuan New Army will be solved much more smoothly, which will be a great benefit for us, with such a benefit, our situation will become more favorable. Jia Xu said.
"Hmm. That's right, in that case, we might be in a much more favorable position. Shang Wu said.
"I just don't know what the current situation of the first brigade and the third brigade is, if they can send a regiment of troops to insert from here, in this way, we will form a cutting encirclement of the northern army. Then, if the Second Brigade smoothly moves southward, it will form a situation in which Mount Tai is overpowering, and this will form a very favorable situation for our superiority. Shang Wu said.
"But I am worried about two points, first, whether the New Army of the West Park can hold on, or whether the encirclement of the New Army of the West Park can become stronger. This is very crucial for our next military operation. Jia Xu said.
"Second, whether our offensive speed is fast enough, you know, our offensive ability, whether we can eat Huangfu Song in a relatively short period of time, this question is also very critical." Jia Xu said. Shangwu nodded and recorded it.
On the small river beach, the cavalry of the Northern Army withdrew from the battle, but the whole battlefield was desolate, and the flag of the independent brigade was replanted on this position full of corpses.
Zhou Cang looked at the corpse on the ground, motionless. The corpse was covered with a red cloth, it was his partner, Li Dao, who was now lying here, a cold corpse, Lao Zhou wanted to say a lot, but he didn't know where to say it. And so he sat and sat and He thought about it a lot, and then he felt that he was drinking with Li Dao, why did the person opposite leave all of a sudden? Zhou Cang couldn't understand such a thing, but what could he do if he didn't understand? It's already happening. There is no resurrection from the dead.
"Sir, the casualty report is out." A major said, hanging on one arm. His arm was bumped by the cavalry. I guess it's a broken bone. There is no choice but to hang it for the time being.
"How many more?" Zhou Cang didn't seem to be able to speak. Such a sentence came out of his throat.
"Three hundred, three hundred and twelve people, if the Northern Army launches another attack, we. We can't hold our ground. The Major said.
Hear such a reply. Zhou Cang didn't know what to say. When they came, there were 3,000 men, but now, there are only 300 left, and some of these 300 may still be wounded, and this war is really too fierce.
"Sir, we, are we pulling out of the fight?" The Major asked worriedly. Such a battle was fought so fiercely. Their independent brigade had never encountered such a tragic battle, and such a battle had already put them on the verge of collapse.
"Nope. It's that the troops are gone. We also have to insist on being here, this position is ours, the Northern Army wants to pass from us, damn it, let them try. Zhou Cang said.
"Sir, our family background, sir, let's leave us some seeds." The Major cried.
"Damn, cry what to cry, don't stay. Our battle is enough to fight. Zhou Cang said. The Major nodded. This tragic battle is something they all remember in their hearts. But fortunately, at this time, the northern army no longer attacked. The whole battle was fierce enough.
"It's snowing. It's snowing. "At this moment, the gloomy day finally snowed. At first, it was just a light snow. fluttering covered a layer, and the entire battlefield gradually turned white.
The snowflakes are getting bigger. Heavy snow has halted the fighting here for the time being. But on the other side. The battle is still ongoing.
"Bang bang." Zhao Laosan was sprinting with his class. He lost contact with his platoon commander. But the number of people under him became more and more numerous.
When they saw the Northerners, they fired heavily and then rushed over to scatter the enemy. They went from one village to another, and then from one village to another, and in another village there were also battles everywhere, and several nearby villages were all in a state of battle at once. There were gunshots everywhere, shouts of killing, fires everywhere, and even though it was snowing heavily, the fires still made people sweat profusely.
"The Red Turban Army on the other side?" A group of red turbans on the opposite side shouted loudly.
"Yes, we are from the 11th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the Red Turban Army. What part of you are? Zhao Laosan asked loudly.
"We are a brigade and a regiment." The other side replied.
"Come here." Zhao Laosan shouted loudly.
"Damn, when did the first brigade hit here. It's all fucking messed up. Zhao Laosan scolded loudly, they caught prisoners along the way, burned supplies, defeated the Northern Army, and did a lot of things, but people kept joining in, sometimes, they would meet a captain from other regiments, and sometimes a major commanded them to outflank them, and as a result, the troops were in chaos.
"Your first brigade, why did you come to our third brigade?" Zhao Laoshang asked.
"We don't know, sir." A corporal said helplessly. There were eight of them.
