Jingshi, Luoyang.

Zhang Neng now has the heart to die.

"Damn Dong Zhuo." Zhang Neng tore off all the bonds in his hand and shouted angrily. When the people in the alley heard this, they all avoided it, and the shops that occasionally opened closed in an instant. If you say this kind of thing, you will be arrested by the patrol officers and soldiers, and finally killed. It can be said that being killed on the spot is considered light, and I heard that many people were executed after being caught. Something like this is really tragic.

But now, Zhang Neng has no hope of living.

He was originally a good businessman, who was in the cloth business, and this place in Jingshi, as long as you manage it well, will still have a lot of development. For example, the cloth business can allow Zhang Neng to enter the scale of a medium-sized businessman, and if he continues to operate for two generations, his family can also be developed. If all this was before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Zhang Neng's life trajectory would be very beautiful. But everything changed because of Dong Zhuo.

At the beginning, when Dong Zhuojun rushed in, a lot of his goods were robbed, and at least one-third of the family business he had accumulated was gone.

He couldn't scold yet, there was no way, the shopkeeper nearby, because of excitement, lost half of the goods, and there were still a lot of goods, just because he was very excited, he insulted loudly two sentences, and he was knocked to the ground at once. He didn't come up in one breath, and he died that day.

And then things were even more torturous, Dong Zhuojun couldn't pay the military salary, every time the army entered the city and looted it, it didn't work, they would forcibly rush in and take away the goods.

If you can cope with every robbery. After all, Zhang Neng can still transfer some goods. But later paper money was simply a kind of robbery.

Lootings are becoming more and more frequent, every time. And just like that, he lost another third. Zhang Neng originally thought that with some money, he could still live. Or if he earns back some capital, his loss will be much less, but unfortunately, he thought wrong.

The bonds came out. The army forcibly looted and converted it into bonds, so that the losses became extremely heavy. Zhang Neng's losses were even greater, and he went bankrupt all of a sudden.

That was his last capital, and that was the savings he had been in business since his grandfather's time. Three generations of savings were gone all at once.

How could he endure such a thing in grief, this was definitely a major blow to him, and the blow was unbearable. This kind of loss will make him lose everything. Hope, there is no such hope at all. That's why, in such a situation, he is so desperate, he wants to fight to the death with those officers and soldiers. Originally, he had a lot of everything, but now, there was nothing. Bankrupt. This situation is simply a huge disaster for him.

"I said, you don't want to die." A guy whispered, and as he spoke, he pulled Zhang Neng into the store at once. Close the door.

"Fate, what else do I have to do, I can't live. I'm going to fight hard. After Zhang Neng entered the store, he cried excitedly. He was extremely nervous right now. I don't want to live.

"Life is your own, no matter what, you are still alive, and in such a situation, you can still live. As long as you live, everything will pass. The man persuaded.

"Live? How do I live, my grandfather started selling cloth at that time, carrying the burden everywhere to sell, my father only had a store at that time, and now, when it came to me, it should have been strong, but after the damn Dong Zhuo came in, there was nothing. He was a bandit who robbed my family of everything, everything. You know? It was an accumulation that started in my grandfather's generation, and now there is nothing. Zhang Neng cried and said that anyone who encounters such a thing cannot control their emotions, this is simply an uncontrollable thing, and in such a situation, they can't do such a thing at all.

"I know, but we're still going to live." The guy continued. Zhang Neng just cried, he cried that his family's savings were gone. There is no future for their family.

"Perhaps, you should think about your next generation, and there is, this business, and if you lose money, you will make money, and if you want to earn it back, you must also do some business." The man said so.

The crying Zhang Neng began to choke, and the crying seemed to let him release the suppressed things in his heart, and what he thought about was how to restore the ancestral inheritance, which was where his hope was.

"How to do it, what business? You know, I don't have any money now. I have a child, and my mother is still waiting for me to feed them. Zhang Neng said worriedly.

"Well, there are businesses that can be done. It's just to risk losing your head to do it, I don't know if you dare? The man said.

", as long as I can get the inheritance of my ancestors and survive, I will do anything, and I have nothing now. That's it. Zhang Neng said excitedly. Sometimes, in the most difficult times, people can bring out great potential.

"To tell you the truth, we are the Republican Army, will you follow us?" The guy looked at each other and asked directly.

"The IRA? Oh, I've heard of you guys. Zhang Neng said.

"Yes, we support businessmen to do business, as long as you follow us and provide us with some information, we will provide you with funds, capital, to do business with the Republican Army, you can do bigger business, arms, and more iron weapons. Those are big deals. The man said seductively.

"Iron tools, munitions, this, this is a big deal." Zhang Neng was tempted all of a sudden, if he was desperate just now, now, his hope was full of hope, and he knew what he had done. Or rather, he knows what to do to restore himself to the way he was before, and if possible, expand the inheritance of his ancestors, what a wonderful thing. Thinking of this, Zhang Neng felt that he was capable of doing this thing, and he could do it very well.

"I do it, I just work hard, I can do it. Say, say, what should I do? Zhang Neng said excitedly that he had nothing, and now he was stimulated with more potential. These potentials meet his needs to the fullest.

Dude saw that it was almost there. Then he called out his treasurer. Then the shopkeeper and the other party talk in detail about some specific things.

This is an intelligence post of the IRA. Take advantage of all kinds of unfavorable events created by Dong Zhuo. The IRA is constantly recruiting new members. This was in accordance with the instructions of the Republican Army, which rapidly expanded their influence.

There were merchants, burghers, peasants, and officials of the yamen. Even the low-level soldiers in the army, many of them were very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's various behaviors, but they couldn't clearly oppose it. The IRA, on the other hand, can tie them together, organize, and if they wait for the moment, they will burst out with greater strength. Zhang Neng is just one of them, and if he wants to expand to a greater influence, the Republican Army still has a lot to do, and only one Zhang Neng still can't play a greater role.

And the power that a businessman can plan will be very large. They have certain organizational skills.

Especially people like Zhang Neng, who have opened a store, they know how to manage a store, and they can expand their scale, know how to operate, and their connections, all of which are conducive to the IRA to develop the resources it needs.

Previously, the IRA was more inclined to recruit people to do some intelligence work, but now, the IRA has expanded its own needs. They need more people to organize. The strength will be expanded to a greater extent.

Yanmen Pass. Negotiations are still ongoing, and the matter of negotiations is left to the intelligence services, after all, the IRA does not have too formal diplomats, and the two sides are only in private contact. And then exchange the terms of both sides to suppress each other and put themselves in a favorable position, which is relatively good news for them.

For Zhang Liao, this was an extremely rare time to rest, they could do many, many things in the trenches, for example, the Allied soldiers liked to dance, they were very bold, they would light a bonfire at night, dance around the bonfire, and many officers would be invited into it. The unpleasant things that were not happy before are gone all of a sudden.

Zhang Liao looked at the bonfire outside the tent and shook his head.

He had been worried that the Confederate soldiers would riot, and he had kept a large number of gendarmerie units in response to emergencies. As a result, he worries too much. They didn't react much at all, and many of the Confederate soldiers were nomadic low-level people, and some even didn't have their own cattle and sheep, and needed to graze for others to survive.

As for the cavalry officers and non-commissioned officers, most of them are in an unequal class, and the other class will not care about the living conditions of the other class, because the other class has not changed in essence, this is their most practical factor, they are concerned about their own affairs.

Therefore, Zhang Liao was worried a little too much.

Since this is the case, Zhang Liao has to start paying attention to some other things, what kind of cavalry team the republican army will establish, and if the cavalry team is established, will they be used centrally, or will they be dispersed and provided to the infantry, or in other words, what kind of major changes will there be in the cavalry team, at least the cavalry of the republican army should be advantageously different from the situation of other armies. This was the most important thing for the IRA, and they solved the problem of horses.
