"You can buy anything. Does that include arms and medicines?" Zhang Songling has no interest in making friends with any Japanese people. But Takaaki Sakai's proposal for interoperability. But it made his eyes light up a little. As far as he knows. The biggest problem Redbeard is currently facing is the difficulty of supplying supplies. Especially firearms and ammunition. Completely by seizing from horse thieves. Not only is the quantity not guaranteed. The quality is also uneven.
"This. This ....." Takaaki Sakai's face flushed. The look is even more embarrassing than the suggestion just now to play a double reed with Zhang Songling to deceive his boss." Gun. Guns definitely don't work. It's just a little captain under it. Only one gun in hand. If you accidentally lose it. will be severely punished by military law. This. Please also ask for Zhang Jun's understanding."
Talking. On horseback is another deep bow. As if I'm really sorry for Zhang Songling.
Zhang Songling thought this person was interesting. Smiled. Whispered, "Then what can you buy for me?" Want to do business. You have to show some sincerity, no."
"Sincerely. Full sincerity." When it comes to business. Sakai's courage suddenly increased. Push the mount. Slowly leaned to a place only two or three zhang away from Zhang Songling. Whisper adds." But. But you can get some bullets. Quantities are not guaranteed. One or two hundred rounds at a time is definitely fine. The price is absolutely fair. There are also some anti-inflammatory powders. I have a relative who runs a clinic in Yixian. You can get anti-inflammatory powder. It's the price. The price is a bit high. And as long as the ocean is present. Don't want Manchukuo bonds and fiat currency."
Zhang Songling was amused by Sakai Takaaki's money-obsessed appearance. Shake your head. Respond in the same low voice." I don't have the ocean in my hands. There will be no in the future. The business of medicinal powders. I'm afraid I can't do it."
"There is a way. There is a way. We can barter trade. Bartering. You understand." Takaaki Sakai has a much stronger talent for trading than fighting. didn't wait for Zhang Songling to finish speaking. Just rush to give a practical solution.
Zhang Songling originally had no intention of rejecting Sakai's proposal. It's just a subtle imperceptible homeschooling. I like to lower the price before doing business. Seeing that Sakai Takaaki really gave in. I thought about it again. Pretend to be impatient to respond." Bartering. That's a lot of trouble. The anti-inflammatory powder produced in your country has always been sold at a high price. I could only get wool and herbs in my hands, which took up space and were worthless. Again. The two of us are in the city and in the wilderness. It's not easy to see each other in the future. How can you openly travel in a big car?"
"There is a way. There is a way. There's really a way." Takaaki Sakai subconsciously thinks. Each other has only become business partners. They don't always want to kill each other. Hence any difficulties raised by Zhang Songling. He's willing to find a way to overcome it." The Mongols regularly set up a meeting on the eastern shore of the Crescent Lake. Cheese and fur were used to trade some daily necessities with the local Han Chinese. We can go over there and trade. Such. Let's agree on a location. Meet there. I'll get you some medicine. You get it for me. Get ......"
I looked back. He muffled his voice to the point where he could barely hear it." Wrench. Snuff bottle. Yuhuan. These things. You've seen it. The Mongols seem to have a lot in their hands. You just have to put some effort into it."
Jade wrench, jade snuff bottle, jade jade ring. It's all an ancestral goodie in the Mongolian family. According to the history, it can be traced back to the period when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Some of them were looted from the hands of the people of the Ming Dynasty at that time. And part of it is because of the effectiveness of the battle. A reward from the Manchu court. In the past ten years, with the increasing decline of the grassland economy. A lot of jade was sold by the herders for emergencies. The price is much lower than that of the Central Plains. Zhang Songling before leaving home. I can see some of them in my brother's hands almost every year. The store sells quickly every time it arrives. Turn into cash withdrawal. But with the outbreak of war between China and Japan, the risk continues to expand. Shandong's landlords also moved to the concessions. The price of jade and antiquities has softened along the way. Profit from reselling this thing. It's nowhere near as high as it was in earlier years.
The moment is the end of the thirties of the twentieth century. Zhang Songling is just a hairy boy. They are far from realizing the preciousness of cultural relics. See Sakai Takaaki said sincerely. They wanted to find a way for the guerrillas to smuggle medicines. Nodding. Respond with a very subtle voice." The way you say it does work. I will think about it carefully. But don't try to set a trap for me. I'm not going to trade with you personally. If a brother sent to buy and sell is caught by your men. I don't want to fight for my life. I will also find a way to make you pay for your blood debt."
"No, it won't. No, it won't. Jade has always been sold well in Manchuria and in our hometown. I would be stupid to cut off my own money... After this battle. Send someone to set up a stall on the shore of Crescent Lake. I ...... "Probably the wealth is strong. Sakai Takaaki pushed the war horse closer to Zhang Songling. Untie a white bone whistle with a rope tied to your chest. Quietly stuffed over." Hang this in front of the stall. I used to go shopping. See this bone whistle. I knew that it was Zhang Jun's person. Don't keep it secret. Otherwise once it is known by the top. I'm definitely going to get shot. The people you sent over didn't end well."
"Hmm. I understand." Zhang Songling raised a hand that was pressed on the handle of the gun on his waist. Take the wet bone whistle. Tick it. Solemnly put it away." That's it. What did you do before you became a soldier? He seems to know a lot about business."
"Alas. It's going to be a long one." Takaaki Sakai sighed. Respond with a distinctly northeastern accent." My family has been in business since my grandfather's generation. The scale of the shop is among the top in our county. If you don't serve as a soldier. I'm supposed to be the shopkeeper in the shop now."
Zhang Songling has relatives. Shake your head. Sighing in response. Our home is in Shandong. There is also a shop. I also started the business from my grandfather's generation. Scale in our county. Probably in the top three."
"Really.." Takaaki Sakai was slightly stunned. An honest smile immediately bloomed on his face." Then if you don't go into the army. Isn't it also a young shopkeeper.."
"I don't like to do business. I love to read." Although the other party is wearing a devil's skin. Zhang Songling didn't think that this guy in front of him was as annoying as other devils. Smiled. Shake your head in response." What's the use of talking about that now? Half of China is occupied by you. Even if my family earns a mountain of gold. Sooner or later, you will rob you."
"This. This one. I don't really like to fight either. I just like to do business." Takaaki Sakai waved his hand and explained. It's on top. There are some people up there who like to fight. I just came on orders. You can't do it yourself. Zhang. Your understanding.."
"I don't understand. But I'll do my best. Eliminate you and your superiors." Zhang Songling shook his head. The voice of the speaker rises sharply.
Takaaki Sakai was taken aback. Quickly turn the horse and flash backwards. found out that the other party was just casually venting the anger in his heart. He didn't take any further action or smile at himself. whispered: "The matter of the war. We'll talk about that later. Today it's just business."
"Get out of here. I'm not in the mood to kill you today. As long as you don't provoke me." Zhang Songling's heart was a little uncomfortable. Wave your hand. Signal the other party to get out of here.
Have been away from home for more than a year. I don't know what has become of my family. The rule of the little devils is getting stricter and stricter. In many places, even fine grains are not allowed for Chinese to eat. And those bitter and rough acorn noodles. In the Shandong area, it used to be used to feed pigs. And it should be mixed with a lot of wild vegetables to feed. Otherwise, the pig will suffocate to death because it can't pull out.
Thinking of the mistreatment that the family may have suffered under the rule of the devil. The little good impression that Zhang Songling had just raised for Sakai Gaoming in his heart disappeared in an instant. I was thinking about whether it was shameless to give the other person a shot from behind. But I saw Takaaki Sakai turn around from his horse. He waved to himself very reluctantly: "There is one more thing. Please understand. I also have a name named Kazuken Sakai. It's not Takaaki Sakai. The previous name was changed only last month. So that Chief Fujita can forget me."
"Then I should call you Kazuken Sakai. Or Takaaki Sakai.." Zhang Songling couldn't understand the strange thinking of the devil. frowned. Ask out loud.
"Call me Kazuken Sakai." Wu Chang, a devil who likes to do business more than being a soldier, thought about it. Respond solemnly." I've been called this name since I was in my hometown. It's better to listen to than Sakai."
Say it. A turn. Instigated the war horse Shi Ran to go far. It's as if you've earned tens of thousands of dollars. Exuding excitement from head to toe.
Met such a strange thing. Zhang Songling really couldn't pull his face down and slashed his hand from behind. Shaking his head and sighing a few times. Also turn the mount. Continue wandering aimlessly across the grasslands. The guerrillas should have been evacuated from the Lama Ditch . Now I can only meet a large number of horse thieves; The reinforcements on Zhou Heitan's side don't know when they will come. You may not be able to meet it when you turn around; I have the heart to harass Fujita's old devil's convoy again. There is a tail behind him that can't be shaken off. It's really hard to move forward. It's also hard to go back. I can't find the right direction no matter how I walk.
I'm hesitating. Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves ahead. With the little daylight left. He saw a dozen horses running towards him. The first yellow horse on its back. There is a famous big man holding a pair of box cannons. He snapped and shouted: "The cloud dragon is here. Which wants to catch my brother. Just let the horses go."
"Irumo Dragon. Irumo Dragon." Meet the iconic yellow hussay. The little devils can't guess who it is. I can't care about entangling with Zhang Songling anymore, and I don't have to make any appointments. Dial the mount. Scatter your legs and flee.
