Since Li Hongyi left the Zhou Mansion, he has been holding back a fire in his heart, and he has always wanted to show the Zhou family a look, so that they will not dare to look down on him anymore.

Since leaving the garrison, Li Hongyi has always wanted to pull up a team. In his eyes, in the deep troubled times, only someone with a gun in his hand can get out of the way. And if you want to have guns and people, the premise is to have money!

After leaving the garrison, Li Hongyi joined the county security regiment, and after hanging up a position, he began to think about ways to make money.

More than 30 days ago, Li Hongyi discovered that there was a shortage of materials in war-torn areas and prices were soaring. As soon as many things arrive from somewhere else, the price skyrockets. With this in mind, he began to trade smuggling.

Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, whether it is the enemy-occupied area, the nationalized area, or even the base area of the Eighth Road, they have all faced a serious shortage of materials. The war cut off the normal flow of goods and trade routes, and people were unable to communicate with each other.

In order to conquer China, the Japanese blockaded China by sea, and at the same time began to make efforts to cut off the supply of materials between the national control areas and the base areas and the occupied areas. At the same time, in order to collect anti-Japanese materials and the choice of scorched earth anti-Japanese resistance, the Kuomintang also cut off the route of material circulation to enemy-occupied areas.

In order to plunder the materials of the occupied areas, the Japanese began to dump Japanese goods, tobacco and other consumables into the occupied areas after the battle line fell into a stalemate, and plundered China's grain, minerals, gold and silver hard currency.

In order to further undermine the economic capacity of the Kuomintang region, the Japanese began to smuggle a large amount of tobacco and Japanese industrial products in the Korean Kuomintang area from the middle of the Anti-Japanese War. Smuggling of war materials such as grain and minerals from the Kuomintang region. In this way, the Kuomintang's ability to resist the war was weakened.

In the face of war, material blockade and scarcity, in addition to a large number of government smuggling activities, a larger number of private smuggling activities were born.

No matter what the outcome of the war is, the common people will always have to live. In order to survive, the common people need the most basic material foundation, so that there is a market, and then there is private smuggling.

Most of these people-to-people smuggling are controlled by some local snake forces. They bribed the Imperial Allied Army and the Kuomintang army through their connections, and opened channels between the occupied areas and the Kuomintang areas to smuggle all kinds of materials, even war materials and munitions!

For them, war is hell and a rare opportunity to make a fortune.

Therefore, as long as the price is right, they dare to ship anything, and dare to sell anything!

And what Li Hongyi has done recently is this kind of business. After borrowing a loan shark from an underground casino as capital, Li Hongyi began to make a living as a smuggler. After Li Hongyi left the garrison, he hooked up with some buyers and sellers through some old relationships.

No, Li Hongyi recently bought a batch of kerosene and tobacco from the puppet army, and then sold it to the south of the Yellow River, making a lot of money.

Seeing that he had indeed made money, Li Hongyi's courage also fattened, and after smuggling a batch of medicinal materials from the Northeast to the south, Li Hongyi contacted a buyer from the north. The other party's request was very special, 60 cases of fine Japanese tobacco clay, as well as some liquor and precious medicinal herbs that were only produced in the south.

Tobacco soil is trivial, but these precious medicinal herbs and shochu, which are specialties of the south, are more laborious. During the war, medicinal herbs were restricted from being operated and controlled.

And this soju is even more strenuous, why? What is the most lacking material in the war? That's food!

The reduction of grain production and the abandonment of fields caused by the war were a fatal blow to the brewing industry, which consumed a lot of food. In order to ensure food supply, the government even ordered a ban on private factories to set up wine, and severely punished them for violating the law. As soon as this decree came out, there were not many factories to make wine, but the behavior of people secretly making wine was not uncommon, and cross-border smuggling became a trend, which shows how scarce folk wine is.

However, because the price given by the other party was very appropriate, and a part of the deposit was paid in advance, Li Hongyi gritted his teeth and took over the business after thinking about it.

After spending more than a week of hard work, Li Hongyi's next family really equipped himself with goods.

Due to the high value of the goods, for the sake of safety, Li Hongyi decided to go and return quickly. For this reason, he found a businessman named Osaka Gango from the Yuncheng Japanese Foreign Company, who had a relationship with him, and borrowed two Japanese transport trucks from the branch of the Japanese military transport squadron in Hengqu County in the name of his elder brother Hengqu County Government General Office.

Originally, Li Hongyi thought about it well, and borrowed the cover of the devil's truck to send the goods to the buyers in Jiangxian County, and went back quickly on the way, and what went wrong in the province. But what he never expected was that he actually collided directly with the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army on the highway. It's really a blood mold!

The loss of goods and trucks, Li Hongyi felt that it didn't matter, anyway, the materials were bought with the buyer's deposit, and if they were gone, they would be gone. It's not your own money that's being lost.

As for the Japanese truck, he also borrowed it in the name of Zhou Hongwen. Anyway, everyone knows that he is the second young master of the Zhou family, even if the Japanese investigate it, there is also him Zhou Hongwen who carries the thunder for himself.

It's just two Japanese trucks, and Li Hongyi believes that this is not a thing for Zhou Hongyi at all.

Finally suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Hongyi finally turned around and glanced at the black smoke behind him.

"Let's ......! Let's talk about it back in the county seat. ”

……

On the calm valley road, two Japanese-style trucks were burning with black smoke, and in the dense forest on a mountain peak slightly north not far from the side of the road, a sturdy man with medium and long hair, wearing a short black coat, and wearing a snakeskin eyepatch on his left eye, slowly put down the monocular in his hand, touched his neatly cleaned tiger whiskers, turned his face and shouted angrily:

"I said smoker, what kind of news are you kid?! …… Yes! Lao Tzu took people to squat here for most of the day, and dared to come to see Balu to collect money? I said, didn't you kid sell the news to Balu too! ”

was yelled at by the one-eyed man, a lean man with blue eyes and obvious bags under his eyes trembled when he heard this, and quickly knelt down and mourned:

"The conscience of heaven and earth, you are a big master, you just lend me 10,000 guts, and I don't dare to do anything outside of eating! What's more, ......, I'm a bandit...... Where do I know what the Eighth Route Army...... Yes. ”

The smoker knelt on the ground, and after saying a few words, he began to fight haha, obviously a smoker. As he spoke, the smoker pulled out a large cigarette gun from his waist, apparently wanting to take a puff.

"Smoke and smoke...... you know that you are a fucking smoker!" As he spoke, the one-eyed man strode forward and kicked the smoker, who was lighting a cigarette.

"Oh ......, don't blame me, the big boss......"

"Made! Dare to be hard-mouthed! Lao Tzu kicked you to death! ”

Seeing that the one-eyed dragon man had made a dead move, a sturdy man beside him hurriedly rushed up and grabbed the one-eyed man.

"Big brother, stop being angry! Big brother is angry. I don't think I really complain about this, Brother Smoker. ”

was pulled by someone, the one-eyed dragon man just wanted to be angry, and when he saw that it was his newly appointed third master, Ma Sanshun, he held back his anger and said:

"Oh? What does Brother Ma mean? You mean I wronged the smoker? ”

When Ma Sanshun heard this, he hurriedly let go of his hands and smiled, and said warmly:

"Big brother is serious. The smoker brothers smoke big cigarettes regardless of the occasion, and they really should be beaten! But this time, the food in our mouths was robbed by Yalu, and I think it's probably a coincidence. ”

Hearing this, the one-eyed man pinched his waist and looked into the other party's eyes, and asked in disbelief:

"Coincidence? What do you mean? ”

……

"Well...... speaking of which, brother, I have to accompany the eldest brother first, and I hope that the eldest brother can forgive me for not telling the truth."

Speaking of which, Ma Sanshun knelt down with a single paint, and hugging his fists was a salute.

"Huh......? Brother Ma, what does this mean? Hurry up, we don't have to be like this between brothers! ”

"Thank you, big brother."

After a deep salute, Ma Sanshun stood up and said:

"Big brother, after the Flying Tiger Mountain was destroyed by the Japanese this time, our brother originally planned to fill his stomach with snacks at this point. As a result, after squatting for a morning, he was discovered by a group of eight roads. When the brothers were shot, they didn't kill us, but invited us to join them.

At that time, I didn't agree, and they didn't force it, and then reported that we were all released, so I could come to Wolong Mountain to vote for you, big brother. “

"It's also a shame to say this, so I didn't tell my eldest brother the truth...... Today, the meat in our mouths was robbed by the Eight Roads, and I guess they should be the ones I met. They should have not gone far in this generation, and they happened to meet our "goods" here today. ”

Hearing this, the one-eyed man touched his tiger whiskers, and with his only right eye, he looked Ma Sanshun up and down.

"Brother Ma can tell me the truth Lu Baichuan, which means that you treat my Wolong Mountain as your home, okay! I, Lu Baichuan, really didn't look away! ”

"Thank you big brother for your trust!"

Ma Sanshun looked at the one-eyed Lu Baichuan, and quickly knelt on the ground and saluted again.

Since being released by Yang Chenhu and them, Ma San took more than a dozen brothers from his subordinates in this life to vote for Lu Baichuan, the big boss of nearby Wolong Mountain, commonly known as Lu Yiyan!

Lu Baichuan used to be the general of the big boss of Feihu Mountain, and after taking people down the mountain to kill Tang Wenbao, the only son of Tang De, a big family in Jiangxian County, in order to take revenge, he was wanted by the government and Feihu Mountain, and had no choice but to set up his own cottage to protect himself.

Lu Baichuan took his subordinates to occupy a corner in the stretching Zhongtiao Mountain, recruited a group of men who were forced by the government to live to gather in the mountains and forests, and finally settled down in Wolong Mountain after repelling the encirclement and suppression of the government several times.

However, although Lu Baichuan betrayed Feihu Mountain to stand on his own, although Feihu Mountain announced that he was inseparable from Lu Baichuan on the surface, the big boss of the Diamond Mountain Leopard cared about the old feelings, but he didn't really embarrass Wolong Mountain. Therefore, the relationship between Feihu Mountain and Wolong Mountain has always been good.

In view of this, after the accident in Feihu Mountain this time, many remnant bandits came to vote for Lu Baichuan, the big boss of Wolong Mountain.
