The decline of morale is only the surface, and behind the decline of morale, what is even more terrible is that the military spirit is not available. There was a general war-weariness among the soldiers. This sentiment will directly lead to the issue of their sending troops to become more delayed.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

The staff of the Republican Army is sorting out some of the situation in Luzhou and southeast of the river. It was also the next target of the IRA's concern. Getting through the road is a crucial thing.

"All this information is provided by businessmen, I don't know if it's reliable or not?" Shang Wu said worriedly.

Intelligence in the south seems good and promising. It was one of two other shortcuts for the IRA's smuggling.

Local officials are also worried, and the county government's expenses are not optimistic. Without money, nothing can be done. You must know that the only areas controlled by the imperial court are all mountainous areas, and most of the food is extremely limited, plus the bandits are constantly infested. This had a great impact on the actual control of the imperial court.

In order to broaden the source of finance. Turning a blind eye to smuggling has become the most reliable thing to do.

As a result, smuggling became extremely lenient in the localities, and they even believed that such a thing was the only way to increase their revenue, and some bandits were involved.

However, with the readjustment of the strategic focus of the Republican Army, this situation has begun to become extremely prominent, and the Republican Army must master such a channel. It's time for them to make their final choice.

"It should be reliable, and some local officials know very well, in fact, they can only be called petty officials, they are very aware of the fighting ability of the Republican Army, and if the war starts, their situation is very unoptimistic. On the one hand, they are not adequately supplied, and on the other hand, their situation is extremely unfavorable. For the sake of their own way out, they must make some self-choices. Jia Xu said.

It's already very clear, and the pressure is getting greater. It is located in the south of Luzhou. The guardian soldiers there have given up resistance. Because they are well aware of the military strength of the Republican Army, the reconnaissance force of the Republican Army is constantly crossing their defense areas to conduct long-distance reconnaissance, and this kind of reconnaissance activities are becoming more and more frequent, and even large-scale public reconnaissance.

It's a stress, and it's an extremely bad sign. The soldiers knew exactly what was going on. They are no match for each other at all. Therefore, they are more lenient directly with the past businessmen. At the same time, they explained some of their thoughts, they thought that when the Republican army officially went south, they would surrender.

"In the north, we can adopt a buy-off strategy. And some important checkpoints in the south, we can also take this approach, as long as we get such some traffic arteries, it will become extremely beneficial for us. Jia Xu suggested.

Jia Xu believes that the Republican Army can also take such measures on the issue of controlling important passages in the south, and he is even optimistic about it. In matters of life, prospects, and the choice of important interests to turn, they will not hesitate to choose some situation that is favorable to them.

"If we do that, we're going to speed up the speed at which we can control the arteries, and it's going to speed up the pace if we control it, and it's going to speed up the pace if we charge that speed." Jia Xu said.

Shangwu nodded, agreeing with such an opinion.

"It seems that next, our main task is to scare, and then use money to open the way forward." Shang Wu said.

"Yes, it would be much more beneficial to us." Jia Xu said. Jia Xu saw another way of warfare, money war, the weapons used, that is, money, under the heavy money, many things will quickly open the channel, making their situation much more favorable.

"But in the bond market, there are some problems." Shang Wu put aside the problem that had been solved. Volatility in the bond market. Arouse the vigilance of the martial arts, perhaps, the problem has become more complicated than the military one.

"From a human point of view, there's nothing we can do. The continuous expansion of bonds, the continuous increase in number, and the decline seem to be caused by a trend, and this force needs a very large amount of capital to support, not only that, but the stock market is also attracting more funds to join, and the bonds have fallen to a certain extent, and the impact on us is also very large. Jia Xu said.

The bond market affects the fiscal revenue, and the next step of regional stability, for example, the land bonds in the state area, you know, except for a part of the decentralization of land, those lands can only ensure that the people have basic food rations, but most of the land is in the form of bonds, and the declining bonds will make some people think that there is an opportunity, they think, this will have a great impact on them, and this impact will meet their various needs and hopes to the greatest extent. That's what they think is the hardest part, and if it turns out to be favorable, they'll naturally get to do it.

"The bond market is likely to continue to fall, and in doing so, it will hurt the interests of most people, and some people will take the opportunity to take all their bonds. Wealth is always twenty-eight. We can't deal with this kind of law. Shang Wu seems to have some worries about why there is such a situation in the imperial court, that is, the gap between the rich and the poor has become very large, and in such a situation, the society will naturally be restless. This is a big, big trouble for the stability of society, and if this situation continues, it will be more difficult than ever, and they don't want to deal with such a situation in such a situation, which is definitely something they can't figure out.

"If we can't guarantee the interests of some people, they will certainly not support them, and in that case, they will cause us more trouble." Jia Xu thought about it and said. The IRA was pro-land annexation because it would bring in more labor. This is extremely important to them.

"But the interests of most people still need to be guaranteed." Shang Wu said.

"We have to make sure that we make up for this situation, for example, by using tax exemptions or other ways to encourage employment." Shang Wu thought for a moment and said.

Land annexation is the bank, the businessmen want to see the most, land annexation has become extremely formalized, and dividing the land into small pieces will bring them all kinds of troubles, and in this case, trying to accomplish such things will bring them all kinds of troubles. So they still need all sorts of things to do.

The benefits of land annexation are many, the labor market is satisfied, capital will become more concentrated, and agriculture does not require too many people. The development of industry and commerce, enough to bring more profits, is the result they need most.

But land annexation has hurt more people's interests. If the bonds in the hands of the people of the state depreciate, their property will be greatly threatened, and if it is balanced, Shangwu will need to find a way to travel to solve such a problem, otherwise, their situation will become very unfavorable. In order to change such a situation, they have to find a way to accomplish some of these things.

Therefore, Shangwu hopes to guarantee such benefits through tax exemption and other guarantee clauses, otherwise, there will be a lot of unfavorable situations in the whole thing.

On the road from Danzhuling to Changping, the 77th Infantry Battalion of the Republican Army Reserve is occupying all the military points along the way.

On the narrower road, a small army was advancing slowly, and they seemed to be extremely free and loose, and even they were extremely careless. The Republican Army for them. There is also helplessness.

By the time Shang Wu thought the buyout strategy was feasible, a reserve infantry battalion of the Republican Army had already moved from his eldest son, Danzhuling to Changping. Took control of here.

"Does the Republican Army really give us so much money to settle our family in the area of the eldest son?" A soldier in his early twenties asked.

"Hehe, what are you worried about?" A veteran soldier looked back at the soldier and said.

"He, they can hold firearms, they stand on top, let's stand below, kill him, we have no power to fight back." The soldier said worriedly. Because the story of the Changping War has been circulating here for a long, long time.

"The Republican Army is not the Qin Army. They're going to have a reputation. And it is. Look at them, the soldiers of the Republican Army, they are also walking around us, they are defenseless against us, and if they kill us, they will kill us all. The veteran said disapprerovingly, because there are many logistics vehicles in the back of the army, which are all eaten and used. And they weren't even prisoners of war. The threat is small.

This is what they covet the most.

The IRA was never short of supplies, but their situation was different. Approaching the end of the year, there is nothing, food and drink are still not delivered, which makes them very unstable, and they have to hold such a broken place, and the money and property collected are given to Shangguan, and they can't get anything, which makes them very unfair. So, they did something that they thought was amazing. Surrender.

They handed over all the passes they guarded to the Republican Army, and they numbered less than 300 people, in exchange for about 5,000 yuan. as well as introducing them to work, and so on. In short, it's a beauty difference. It's hard to find such a result for such a thing.
