612, Tianjin Gate Fire Starts and the World Moves (4)

Wu Sangui didn't have to wait for the heavy artillery battalion to arrive, and soon after his troops broke to the city wall, he received news that all the Huaxia troops had boarded the ship and left.

He drove his horse to the dock, and saw hundreds of corpses and the wounded mixed in with the dead and wounded, which looked shocking. But he didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, and then looked at the burned materials, because of the pouring of alcohol, they were burned very thoroughly, although there were still some remnants, but in the sky-high fire, no one dared to snatch them out.

"Lord, there are words on the earth!" Someone exclaimed.

No need to remind, Wu Sangui also saw it.

"The military camp will live with you for the time being, Wu San kneels, remember to clean up, don't and urine, and wait for me to come back and accept."

A simple sentence was like a message from the commander to his orderlies, and the generals around Wu Sangui were angry one by one, but Wu Sangui was silent.

After a while, he sighed with a long sigh: "Yu Jimin's subordinates have so many talents!" ”

He couldn't help but sigh, Nie Lin was under Yu Guozhen's subordinates, but he was just an unknown person, and his position was only a battalion commander, and the number of troops under his control was only 760 people. It was with these 760 people that he suffered a big loss for the princes of the side with 200,000 soldiers!

"Save your own people, the battle is still to come." Wu Sangui said again, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

But now that the arrow has to be sent, the only thing he can do is to firmly grasp the straw of Jianyu, even if he can't save his life, he has to drag them into the water together.

The flames of war ignited in Tianjin Wei spread throughout the country in a short period of time. On the various post roads, countless stagecoaches were galloping, in order to spread the news to their masters as soon as possible.

Jinling City.

Ruan Dacheng looked at the businessman kneeling in front of him slowly, and said with a smile: "Why bother, Ling Yuan has the appearance of a mother's grace in the world, and now the middle palace is empty, if Ling Ai can get His Majesty's favor." Wouldn't you have become a relative of the emperor and the country, and then I, Ruan, would also have to respect you as a golden prince. Why should you push back? ”

The fat businessman kneeling on the ground had a sad face: "Master Shangshu, the villain is such a daughter." has already recruited Li You of Suzhou Mansion as his son-in-law, and he is about to get married, but he is ...... Master Shangshu. The villain knows that it is not easy for the imperial court, and is willing to offer a thousand taels of silver to ...... the imperial court."

"Bang!"

A teacup flew out of Ruan Dacheng's hand and smashed in front of Jin Million.

"The court is poor, but take a thousand taels of silver...... You're sending the Worm away. And what's the use of silver today? ”

"The villain hasn't finished speaking, in order to thank Master Shangshu for being the master of the villain, the villain has another small gift, dedicated to Master Shangshu."

Jin Million said as he held up a small box.

The small box was very light, and after Ruan Dacheng took it, he opened it calmly. I saw a deposit note from Huaxia Bank inside.

Huaxia Bank, which has a full background of Xinxiang, was reorganized from the former Xinxiang Bank, and is actually not only a central bank that issues currency, but also a commercial bank that absorbs deposits and lends money. Yu Guozhen is not familiar with the operation of banks, and the only certainty is that if supervision is not strengthened. Then the financial industry is like a ghoul that releases a cage and will devour everything, including itself. Therefore, Yu Guozhen is more cautious in the bank's business expansion, but even so, Huaxia Bank's strong background has allowed it to quickly open branches in almost every important commercial city. So to speak. Where the steam gunboats of the Huaxia Navy can reach, there is Huaxia Bank.

Jinling City is no exception, the city because of the economic penetration under the Huaxia system, and show a kind of deformed prosperity, Huaxia Bank in the city's six branches, absorbing as many as 120,000 gold yuan of deposits, this is a huge wealth, Jinling small court coveted this, but whether it is Donglin or the eunuchs, or Zhu Yousong understand that this huge amount of money is protected by Yu Guozhen, they can not move a penny except for the tax that can collect about 2,000 gold yuan from the bank every year.

On that deposit ticket, there were words of five hundred gold yuan, and Ruan Dacheng suddenly rejoiced: "Okay, good, you just have to let this matter go......"

Before he finished speaking, a servant barged in, and his tongue began to knot: "Fight and fight, terrible, sir, fight!" ”

"What?"

"The newspaper said that there was a fight in the north, and Wu Sangui attacked Tianjin Wei."

Hearing that it was a battle that took place in Gyeonggi, Ruan Dacheng disagreed: "It's okay, it's okay, Wu Sangui, this traitor is just looking for death!" ”

The propaganda work under the Huaxia system has been done very beautifully, and even Ruan Dacheng, a person who has no integrity, has a bit of Huayi in his heart, calling Wu Sangui a "traitor".

"No, no, Wu Sangui has captured Tianjin Wei!"

"What?" Ruan Dacheng was shocked: "Bring the newspaper!" ”

He didn't care about the gold millions on the ground, and the gold millions on the ground also wiped a cold sweat, and he didn't care about humility, so he came up to read the newspaper.

The newspaper's introduction to this battle is quite detailed, how Wu Sangui sneaked attack, how to organize the evacuation of the city after being discovered, how to counterattack at the dock during the evacuation, and finally the Huaxia army began to move after achieving its strategic purpose. No matter how beautifully the words are spoken and what kind of rhetoric is used, Ruan Dacheng and Jin Million both understand that the Huaxia Army has lost Tianjin Wei!

This is the first time that the Huaxia Army has lost the city since it fought alone!

Ruan Dacheng stayed for a while, and Jin Million quietly took back the deposit slip and slipped away, but he didn't even notice it.

Whether it is Ruan Dacheng or Jin Million, they all understand that once the flames of the battle of Jinmen are burned, it will not be so easy to extinguish. Because of this expected war and the unexpected result, the world will surely shake!

And the area under Yu Guozhen's rule is probably the most shaken.

At the mouth of Qingdao, Ma Dabao snorted heavily and raised his arm high: "See, what I have is strength, that is, the Mighty Bull Demon King, who was also my defeated subordinate at the beginning, I am not a soldier, and God will not tolerate it!" ”

"I told you yesterday that there are no plans to expand the combat force for the time being......

"How can it be not, because of the lack of manpower, Tianjin Wei has fallen, even if the army is not expanded now, it will have to be expanded in a few days!"

"Where did you hear that?"

"Do you still want to listen to it, I can read the newspaper myself, and I got my cultural certificate in night school last year!"

Ma Dabao said as he took out a small cloth bag, which turned out a bunch of documents, including the commendation certificate he had earned from his active work in the past few years, as well as the "cultural certificate" he said. The so-called "cultural certificate" is actually a certificate of graduation from a night school, and with this certificate, it is possible to confirm that you are literate and can borrow ordinary books for free at public libraries in various places. Yu Guozhen firmly believes in one thing: one more school is one less prison, and one more library is one less labor farm. Therefore, he built libraries or reading rooms in the cities according to a certain proportion of the population, and anyone who could obtain a certificate of literacy could go in and borrow books with their documents.

"Didn't the newspaper say that we took the initiative to retreat after achieving the strategic goal, and we didn't really lose Tianjin Wei."

"That's to soothe people." Ma Da kept his mouth quickly, said a word and quickly covered his mouth.

No matter how he grabbed the people from the Ministry of Civil Defense, but the other party just didn't let go, which made him very annoyed, seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't pestering the other party, so he could only leave temporarily, thinking that he would come back tomorrow to look for him. But when he went out, he saw a figure, he was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and confirmed that he was not mistaken, and then greeted him happily: "Nanhai...... No, Commander-in-Chief! ”

What he saw was Yu Guozhen.

Yu Guozhen, who was originally preparing for war on Tamluo Island, came to Qingdao in advance because of the war in Tianjinwei. In the past three years, Qingdao has become the most important hub in Shandong, from a small military camp port to a large port with a population of more than 200,000. However, it is precisely because of the large-scale infrastructure construction that there is always a smell of dust in the air at the mouth of Qingdao. Yu Guozhen hadn't been to Qingdao for some time, so he wandered around with a few guards, but he never thought that he would be recognized by Ma Dabao.

"You're Ma Dabao!" Yu Guozhen thought about it for a while, and then remembered the name of this man.

One is that his memory is very good, and the other is because Ma Dabao has a deep impression on him, and this is one of the few characters who can compete with Qi Niu in terms of strength.

"The commander even remembers me!"

Ma Dabao first wanted to kneel down and salute, but when he thought something was wrong, he changed it to a military salute, and then he thought that something was still wrong, so he changed it to a bow. Yu Guozhen laughed and helped him up, and patted his exposed arm: "I just forgot you, and I can't forget your strength." Old Niu, remember this guy, right? ”

Qi Niu stepped forward and patted Ma Dabao, and Ma Dabao grinned and smirked.

"I remember that you were in the railway engineer corps, how is your life, how is your life now, how much can you earn every month, have you married a daughter-in-law?" Yu Guozhen saw that the road was not the place to talk, so he pulled Ma Dabao to a shop on the side of the road, and the shopkeeper of the shop saw a few of them and wanted to come forward to entertain them, but was blocked by the guards.

Ma Dabao was very excited, nodded again and again, but finally shook his head: "Commander, I didn't marry a daughter-in-law, I heard the teacher in the night school last year that Huo Quai's illness 'why the Huns have not been destroyed', I thought, we have not yet unified the world, so we don't have to think about starting a family first." I am now a third-class infrastructure worker, and I have 12 silver dollars a month, and with the subsidy, I can get 20 silver dollars a month! ”

In recent years, silver has been inflated so much that twenty silver dollars are equivalent to twenty taels of silver in the past, which is the income of a solid and middle-sized family for a year. But now it is not done, in Qingdaokou, twenty silver dollars is just enough for a family of four to solve the problem of food and clothing. This is also Yu Guozhen's intention to increase economic pressure by exporting inflation, suppressing the small court of Jinling, and forcing the peasants to leave the land and join the industrialization process in China.

Talking about some of his recent situation, Ma Dabao thought of his wishes, and said at the moment: "Commander, I want to be a soldier!" ”

"Huh? You want to be a soldier, why is that, the railway engineer is also a soldier! Yu Guozhen said with some surprise. (To be continued)
