Chapter 457: If you don't have a family, you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive
In recent days, there has been a state of panic inside and outside Dongjiang County, both by the soldiers of the security regiment and by the people.
For the security corps, the unease is understandable.
After all, Yang Yi and his entourage went to Yuanguang before and offended Li Qingtai, and the news that the cooperation was not negotiated but broke up unhappily has spread far and wide, and the internal worries have not been eliminated, adding to the external troubles.
Not to mention that those soldiers were worried every day that Yue Hongshan Gao Chonghai would send people to attack and were uneasy, even the deputy head of the regiment, Xu Song, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot all day long, and those who didn't know were afraid that they would think that others owed him a few buckets of rent and hadn't paid it back.
As for the uneasiness of the common people, it is because they have seen that the security regiment has been constantly recruiting troops and buying horses these days, and the number of people is growing day by day, and the big rich people have been unceasingly unrestrained, saying that the security regiment will have to rely on the people of Dongjiang County to feed them in the future.
In short, everyone's mood is like that gloomy sky, and they don't know when it will be full of snow.
Song Kangnian, who came on the heel, was also very unhappy.
Originally, I promised the big families that I would ask Yang Yi as soon as possible about how to build the team and how to calculate the various apportionments, who knew that Yang Yi always said that he would discuss and discuss, and he didn't say anything at all, which made Song Kangnian's mood very unhappy, and said that Lao Tzu has not married his daughter to you, and your special mother will play in front of Lao Tzu and push back and forth, if this really becomes a biological rice and becomes cooked rice, then Lao Tzu will be put in his eyes?
Therefore, Song Kangnian simply did not return to the village in the past few days, but stayed in the county seat, thinking about giving Yang Yi a little color.
What makes Song Kangnian depressed is that Yang Yi is busy all day, and his heels don't touch the ground, and he either soaks in the barracks for three meals a day or goes out of the city and doesn't know what to do, and he can't even see the shadow of people.
This made Song Kangnian's plan to stay and prepare to give Yang Yi a little color to take a look at all failed, and the pain in his chest was suffocating and there was no place to vent, so he could only find trouble with Yang Ping, either the food was salty or the rice was hard, in short, there was nothing pleasing to the eye.
Fortunately, the Yang family has always had a difficult Yang An, Yang Ping grew up watching Yang An's face since she was a child, so no matter how Song Kangnian picks on her, Yang Ping will either accompany the smiling face or pretend to be stupid, which makes Song Kangnian feel that he is punching the cotton pile, and he is depressed and half-dead every day but can't even find a place to vent.
There was a knock on the door, and Yang Ping took advantage of Song Kangnian's sulking kung fu to open the door.
It was Song Tao who came, squeezing his eyes to let Yang Ping go out before saying, "Grandpa Nian is still angry?" ”
"Isn't it......"
Yang Ping sighed with someone's spoiled expression: "When will the eldest brother come back?" If Uncle Nian is holding back like this, I can bear it, I'm afraid that Uncle Nian's own body won't be able to bear it, in case he gets angry, and when Sister Jiawen comes back, it's not easy to explain......"
"Grandpa Nian has that temper, don't be like him!"
Song Tao held back a smile, the tone of the two was like a child talking about a tantrum, but fortunately Song Kangnian didn't hear it, if he heard it, it would probably be really angry.
"I'm here this time on the orders of the head of the regiment!"
Song Tao smiled before he said: "It's not that the angry regiment commander doesn't want to come back, but he is also studying many things, and he doesn't dare to say it full, now the regiment is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the regiment has to strengthen armaments to prevent accidents, plus Deputy Regiment Commander Xu is also in a mood here, and the regiment commander really can't take time out to deal with Grandpa Nian's side - Pingping, you have to worry more here!" ”
"You tell the eldest brother to rest assured, I'm okay here!" Yang Ping said.
After Song Tao greeted this, he went back to return to Yang Yi.
"Fortunately, Pingping is here, otherwise Uncle Nian's side, I really can't wait!"
Hearing Song Tao's reply, Yang Yi smiled bitterly, and then asked, "Deputy Head Xu, are you still in a mood?" ”
"Anyway, every time I go over, I love to ignore it!"
Song Tao smiled bitterly and said: "But in terms of drills, the deputy regiment commander is quite attentive, and before he came over, he asked me to pass on a message to you, saying that the soldiers have a lot of training and a serious shortage of ammunition!" ”
"Tell him that I've already found a way to buy ammunition, but it takes time to transport it, and in terms of training, try to save some money!"
Yang Yi instructed, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh, it's really not a home, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!
In the past, in the provincial capital, seeing that both Guo Jinjun and Yu Guanhu were sharpening their heads to make money, he was secretly indignant in his heart at that time, feeling that these guys really had sores on the top of their heads, and pus was flowing under their feet, and they had no other ability than to exploit the people.
Now that the team hasn't pulled up, he's already feeling the pressure!
Now there are more than 700 people in the team, they have to eat every day, they all need money for training, and they still have military salaries at the end of the month, that kind of pressure makes Yang Yi want to pick up a few pieces of gold when he walks!
Although he brought back a few boxes of gold from Shanghai Tang, and there was still a business in the provincial capital that could make some progress, Yang Yi knew that if he relied on himself, let alone a regiment, he would face the situation of sitting on the mountain and eating empty mountains with the current people and horses!
This is also the reason why he didn't dare to go back to see Song Kangnian too early and give him a definite answer.
"Regiment commander, there is a reply to the telegram sent to the provincial capital!"
Liu Yingqing came in and handed a translated message to Yang Yi, on which was a message sent back by Yang An, mainly two things.
On the one hand, he sent a report to Shanghai, and Du Yuesheng on the beach side of Shanghai promised to help find a way to get some guns and ammunition, and even said that he was willing to donate a sum of money, which was regarded as a part of his devotion to the country, and on the other hand, it was said that there was a guy named Xie Xiaochuan, who took a dozen or twenty people to the provincial capital to find him, knowing that he had returned to Dongjiang, and now he rushed to Dongjiang to come to Yunyun!
"It's good to come, now our team is short of people!"
Yang Yi smiled, thinking that there were more than ten or twenty people, and there were more than ten or twenty mouths in the team, he had a kind of sweet trouble.
Fortunately, Du Yuesheng was willing to help purchase arms, and even took the initiative to pay for it, which eased the pressure on Yang Yi's shoulders a little.
Of course, no matter how willing Du Yuesheng is to help, the team can't always wait for the weapons and ammunition on his side, just the little inventory in the warehouse, not to mention the possible attack of Bailongzhai and Yue Hongshan Gao Chonghai, just talking about training, it is estimated that after another ten days and half a month of training, the ammunition in the warehouse can be exhausted!
At present, the only way to replenish ammunition the fastest is still Bailongzhai!
Yang Yi has confirmed with Tanaka Xiaxun that the gun and ammunition reserves that Bailongzhai has obtained from the Japanese military headquarters in the past year can be piled up in several warehouses!
Yang Yi and the others, who were poor and crazy, heard the news, just like a beggar who had been hungry for three days and three nights saw the oily big fat meat!
After a few days of gloomy skies, there were finally snowflakes falling.
"Come on, the bigger the snow, the better!"
Yang Yi looked at the sky and whispered, only on an extremely cold snowy night, it is possible for Bailongzhai to relax its vigilance, and the path that Tanaka Xiaxun said may become a breakthrough for them to capture Bailongzhai!
At the same time, in the sparse snowflakes, there was a group of seven or eight people with a girl with delicate eyebrows and eyes, who were slowly approaching the city gate of Dongjiang County!
