As the saying goes, 'rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea', for many people living near Weishan Lake, the Weishan Lake around them is the source of food they rely on for survival, and they go out early and return to the lake every day to fish and make money.

Although they used to fish, they were also exploited by the local river defense forces. But since the little devils invaded Zaozhuang and controlled the river defense channel passing through here, the local fishermen have not been less affected by the little devil motorboat patrol force.

The fishermen who used to dare to go to the center of the lake to cast their nets are now afraid to approach the little devil's route. For many fishermen, it's a no-go zone. Once you encounter the gunboats of the little devils, they will often be shot or bullets.

If the little devil forbids fishermen to approach the route, the fishermen have one less place to fish. So after the little devils were stationed in Zaozhuang and the surrounding counties, the fishermen found that the price of the fish they caught seemed to be getting lower day by day.

Faced with this situation, some fishermen are naturally unwilling to sell the fish they have caught so hard. It's just that when they take the fish to the county seat to sell, they find that these fish are often robbed, and sometimes even beaten.

Many fishermen who used to come to the lake to collect fish are now almost impossible to see. The fish around the entire Weishan Lake are basically controlled by the plainclothes special forces of each city. The fish is not sold to them, and it cannot be sold at all except for their own consumption.

After two days of investigation, Tan Changze handed the collected information to Zhao Tiehu. After reading the information, Zhao Tiehu said with a cold expression: "These fishermen deserve to die!" ”

According to the information investigated by Tan Changze, these fishermen, who were supported by plainclothes agents, kept the price extremely low every time they bought fish. The price at which it can be sold is very high, and some even buy low and sell high.

In addition to the misery of the fishermen around Weishan Lake, some restaurants selling fish are also exploited by these fishmongers. It can be said that the fish markets around Weishan Lake are basically in a state of chaos.

In addition to their own share, the plainclothes spies who support them behind the scenes can also share a share of the money earned by those fishmongers. Because of the profitability of this matter, there are many people who collect fish around Weishan Lake today.

After carefully looking at the information collected by Tan Changze, Zhao Tiehu pointed to the name of a person above and said, "This old man, does he have a background?" ”

'Yes! However, his background is not strong, and most of the fish he collects are sold to some merchants in the town. Compared with the previous time when his business was in Zaozhuang City, his power is indeed not good now.

The plainclothes team did not dare to provoke too much, because he had a high prestige in the fishing village around Weishan Lake. Someone in the secret service team had beaten him up before, but this guy had a dead fight with the people in the special team, so the special team didn't get a bargain.

If you want to support a fishmonger on the bright side, I think this old man can consider it. At least from the news received from the fishing village, many fishermen are willing to sell fish to him. It's a pity that Lao Yutou can't sell so many fish.

If the fish caught by the fishermen is not sold as soon as possible, it is worthless to keep. Speaking of which, there are quite a few fishermen who have come to our outpost to deliver fish these days. They all felt that the price we gave was fairer.

It's just that when they sell us fish, we have to be equally cautious, even telling us not to tell anyone. Speaking of which, many fishermen in nearby fishing villages have made those plainclothes spies miserable, and they even have to sell fish secretly. ’

"Let's talk to this old man first, I think if we can pull him into our team, I believe it will be of great benefit to us to establish an anti-Japanese base here." The spy didn't dare to mess with it, wasn't it just because he had something to do with the militia group? ’

'Pull him to our side?' I'm afraid that there are some difficulties, this guy has a cousin who is a battalion commander in the Republic of China. In the early years, he was able to do business on Zaozhuang's side, relying on the relationship between Zhong Yanjun's side, but now it is not very good.

Those plainclothes agents didn't dare to get into trouble with him, and they were more afraid that the militia would interfere. In fact, the militia was afraid to come openly. If you really want to talk about it, if that militia group can exist now, it's more because the little devils want to co-opt them.

But the head of the militia surnamed Cui seems to have been bought by the Zhong Yan army. If he chooses to mutiny, it is estimated that the Zhong Yan army will not spare him. For this reason, this matter is frozen here now, but this surname Cui is also not a good thing. ’

It was because of his connection to the militia that I wanted to bring him to our side. With such a neighbor who eats dry food but doesn't do anything, it's not safe for us to stay here. Beware of both the little devils and the people of the militia.

Since the little devil wants to take over this militia group, the militia is also on the shelf, wanting to remain neutral and continue to stay here. Then I will break this balance and see how many people in this militia want to be lackeys for the little devils. ’

For this local militia stationed in Weishan, under the banner of protecting the territory and reassuring the people, it took control of a small town in Weishan. In that town, everything is decided by the militia group, and even the little devils dare not interfere at will.

Earlier, the little devils also wanted to exterminate this militia group, but the militia resistance was fierce. After some fighting, the little devil finally felt that it might be more cost-effective to incorporate this militia than for them to send a large force to encircle and suppress it.

After making the decision, Zhao Tiehu told Li Chengwu to be optimistic about the base area and continue to build fortifications and hidden potholes on the island. In Zhao Tiehu's words, they want to turn the entire Weishan Island into their solid defensive position.

As for the lack of materials, Zhao Tiehu will also find a way to raise them for him. In Zhao Tiehu's opinion, if Weishan Island is established as a place full of dark castles, even if the little devils gather a large army to encircle and suppress it, I am afraid that they will not be able to get any benefits.

It's just that to build Weishan Island into an island fortress, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it in a short time. But Zhao Tiehu felt that the more fortifications there were on the island, the safer they would be when they stayed on the island.

Anyway, there are still a few years left in the Anti-Japanese War, and Zhao Tiehu feels that he is not in a hurry to take his time. After all, to build an island into a military fortress, in addition to a large amount of supplies, it also requires a large number of troops to be stationed.

Building and expanding at the same time is the wisest choice!

Yujiazhuang, a fishmonger nicknamed Lao Yutou, lives in the village. Most of the people in the village have the surname Yu, and in addition to making a living from fishing, the village also has a lot of fields. Compared with other fishing villages, Yujiazhuang is undoubtedly much richer.

It's just that at the moment, the little devils are stationed in various cities, and there are many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Even if the situation in Yujiazhuang is better than that of other villages, life is just as hard. When they are not farming, almost all the men in the village go out to fish to supplement their families.

As soon as he walked into Yujiazhuang, Zhao Tiehu saw two young people looking at the village, and one of them quickly returned to the village to report the news. The young man who stayed behind still stepped forward a little boldly and said, "A few gentlemen, who are you looking for?" ”

Tan Changze, who took the initiative to talk to him, said with a smile: "We are here to talk to Lao Yutou about business, is he at home?" ”

'Do you know Brother Yu?' How come I haven't seen you before? ’

'It's the first time I've come to your village, but I've heard of the reputation of the rest of the stall for a long time. In my early years, I was trading in Zaozhuang, and I heard people say that Yu Stalltou was kind to do business. This time, I also wanted to talk to him about a big deal. ’

Perhaps it was Tan Changze's local dialect that made the young people a little less vigilant, and when he led Zhao Tiehu and his party into the village, his eyes were not looking at Zhao Tiehu and the others. To young people, these strangers don't seem simple.

As for how it is not simple, young people can't tell. It's just that the young people feel that Zhao Tiehu and his party don't look like businessmen. It's just that the young man also knows that since he is here to find Lao Yutou, he can't stop the other party from entering the village.

After Zhao Tiehu and his entourage entered the village, as the person who spoke in the village, Lao Yutou was also notified. The young people in the village who usually followed him were also a little vigilant and looked at Zhao Tiehu and his party who walked into the village.

'Brother Yu, what do you say these people are doing in our village? ’

'What the hell is he doing?' If they don't come well, then we're welcome. Ask first! ’

As the young man explained the situation, Lao Yutou learned that Zhao Tiehu and his party had come to him to discuss business. Old Yu said with a little surprise: "Looking for me to talk about business?" I'm basically not in the fish business right now, what do they ask me for? ”

said this in his mouth, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Several gentlemen have come from afar, and they have missed the welcome, please forgive me!" ”

'Yu stall head, I have heard the name for a long time, I took the liberty to visit today, please forgive me. This is my shopkeeper Hong, I heard that there is a way to get a large number of fish goods, so I specially visited to talk about the fish business. ’

Fish harvester? Still want a lot of fish?

After Tan Changze, who was the introducer, said this, it really surprised Lao Yutou. In Lao Yutou's opinion, as long as the other party has inquired about his situation, I believe that he should know that except for the town where the militia is located, he can't do business in other towns.

But no matter what, since the other party came to the door to discuss business, the old man would naturally treat him well. After all, from Zhao Tiehu and his entourage, Lao Yutou also felt that kind of momentum that was not angry and self-threatening.

This kind of person, they are ordinary people, I'm afraid that they really can't afford to offend!

When Tan Changze was talking to Lao Yutou, Zhao Tiehu keenly noticed that a young man beside Lao Yutou heard the words 'Hong Shopkeeper', his eyes were suddenly startled, and when he saw Zhao Tiehu looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tiehu took the initiative to step forward and said, "Yu stall head, is it convenient to find a place to talk about business?" ”

'Convenient, of course convenient! Ladies and gentlemen, please come here! ’

When Lao Yu led Zhao Tiehu and his entourage to his house, Zhao Tiehu made a few secret gestures to remind the combat team members who came to keep an eye on the young man with a weak heart. In Zhao Tiehu's opinion, there must be something wrong with this young man.

In addition to secretly investigating his situation, Zhao Tiehu also felt that the nickname of Shopkeeper Hong should really be cautious in the future. Otherwise, it is very likely that their whereabouts will be exposed and the little devils will be rounded up!
