The 62nd Round: 10 Detachments Crush the Enemy's Attack (4)
Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong withdrew to the outside of the village with assault rifles in their hands, and those who followed them were the soldiers of the guard company. Those who wanted to resist died in Huangquan, and those who didn't want to resist were saved a dog's life and tied to the side, honestly.
Zhang Xiaosan was able to get out of the village, and then said to Han Xing mysteriously: "Commander Han, don't you drink alcohol?" I see you've drunk a lot tonight, have you been drinking a lot? β
Han Xing smiled and said, "Those wines and dishes are just some props. The wine I drank made me vomit on my sleeves. Or smell it! β
Zhang Xiaosan leaned on Han Xing's sleeve and smelled it, and sure enough, it smelled of wine.
There are three rivers in Linqing, and the Wei Canal runs from southwest to northeast, along the western border. The ancient canal runs from southeast to northwest, passes through the middle, and joins the Wei Canal in the urban area. The Horse Cheek River runs from southwest to northeast, along the eastern border. It is precisely because of these three rivers that they have converged into the unique canal culture of Linqing.
Linqing has developed industry and commerce since ancient times, and has been a famous handicraft city in history, with paper and paper products, copper processing, machining, and casting, all of which have a certain scale. If there is a river and industry, then commerce is more developed, and there are dozens of chambers of commerce. The development of commerce has caused the related service industry to flourish, such as restaurants, brothels, casinos, storytelling halls, theaters, and card venues everywhere.
Now the people of Linqing are scolding, and they are all saying that you have a lamp in your house. Hanging lights, that is, hanging lights in brothels, this scolding could not be more vicious.
At night, the canal side is lit up, and these important commercial places are full of tourists, you come and go, all kinds of merchants, officials, courtesans, party sticks, tourists, but also show the rugged prosperity of this canal city.
In the Linqing Chamber of Commerce, in the spacious hall, some businessmen were talking and laughing around Li Yaotang, the president of the General Chamber of Commerce, and a young businessman said to Li Yaotang: "I heard that this time the Japanese entered Linqing, you almost caused a big mess with a small flag welcoming the Eighth Route Army. Tell me, what the hell is going on? β
The eyes of dozens of merchants were watching Li Yaotang to see how he was fooling the Japanese with a small flag welcoming the Eighth Route Army.
Li Yaotang took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said, "That's the case, since the fall of Linqing, our Linqing has become a free market. Today, the Eighth Route Army is coming, the Japanese are coming tomorrow, the Kuomintang is coming the day after tomorrow, and there are bandits.
As soon as I saw that there was no way, I made three kinds of small flags, one small flag called Welcome Eight Road, one small flag called Welcome National Army, and one small flag called Welcome Imperial Army. On November 18, when the Japanese occupied Linqing for the second time, I asked the Chamber of Commerce to take out a small flag to welcome the Japanese. When the Japanese arrived, I realized that the dishes were bad, and that they had taken the wrong flags, and those small flags clearly said Welcome to the Eight Roads.
I was scared and sweated, and the Japanese really saw it, and that was the crime of killing the head. Thanks to my haste and wisdom, I told the welcoming people to hurry up and wave their flags.
When those small flags waved, the Japanese couldn't see what was written, and besides, they didn't understand Chinese, so they were very happy, and thought they were welcome!
I thought this was the end of the matter, but who knew that someone had stabbed it to the Japanese. The Japanese were furious, and dozens of people were arrested at that time, saying that these people had eight roads and would be shot to death.
Of course, I was also within the Eight Paths, but I knew it early and hid. But just hiding is not a solution, so I thought about it and went directly to the Japanese gendarmerie. When I joined the gendarmerie, I met the captain of Gangcun and asked him directly: 'What is the matter with the captain sending someone to find me?' Why are you arresting so many buyers these days? βγ Gangcun lowered his face and said, 'Someone has reported that you all have access to the Eight Roads!' I said, 'That's true, but we also have access to the Imperial Army.' These words made Gangcun stunned. I continued: 'Taijun Gangmura, please think about it, who do we honest and well-behaved traders dare to offend? When the eight roads come, we have to go through the eight roads. When the Imperial Army comes, we have to get through the Imperial Army. Even if the bandits come, we have to be hospitable. In a word, as long as the knife and gun come, we all have to pay for the smile, we all have to give what we want, if we disobey, isn't it a joke with our own net worth? Da Taijun, you are a person who understands everything, but you must understand the hardships of our traders! βγ
Gangcun laughed out loud when he said this, "Hahaha, you're a good talker. After a pause, he suddenly shouted, 'Do you dare to guarantee that they are all well-behaved dealers?' I thought, anyway, I patted my chest and said, 'Dare!' In this way, dozens of people who had been captured by the Japanese were released. A few days later, the people from the National Army and the Eighth Route came to thank me again. β
"Why is that?" The young businessman couldn't help but ask.
"Hahaha......" Li Yaotang laughed for a while, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "It's not because among the people who have been arrested, there are people from Chongqing and people from the Eighth Road. β
These people glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but applaud warmly at what Li Yaotang had done.
Jet Wu was also dressed in civilian clothes and was sandwiched among these businessmen. Although Wang Jinxiang was in power, these funds were not enough for the team, and he had to try his best to raise funds for the team, no matter what means he used.
Of course, Li Yaotang knew Jet Wu, he walked up to Jet Wu and said, "Brigade Commander Wu, there is a big businessman who wants to meet you." β
When Jet Wu heard this, he was overjoyed, there was a deal when he came, this was a great fortune, and he hurriedly said to Li Yaotang: "President Li, quickly lead me to meet him." What does he buy? β
Li Yaotang said nonchalantly: "I don't know what to do business, I only know that he has a lot of background." β
Li Yaotang led Jet Wu to a private room, and there were two plainclothes bodyguards who were originally following Jet Wu, but they were blocked out by the people in the private room. Jet Wu thought to himself, this is in my territory, can it be said that he still dares to play tricks, snorted, and followed Li Yaotang into this single room alone.
At that time, this big businessman was standing under the big window with his back and a pair of sunglasses, and Jet Wu couldn't see who he was at all. When this person slowly turned around and saw Jet Wu, he smiled and slowly took off his sunglasses. Jet Wu was taken aback, this person was none other than Han Xing, the deputy commander of the 10th detachment.
Jet Wu hurriedly took out his gun, but it was too late, and Zhang Xiaosan next to him had already put down his gun. When Li Yaotang saw it, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly said to Han Xing: "This guest officer, this guest officer, we are all buyers and sellers, well-behaved businessmen. Don't use force, don't use force, have something to say, have something to say. β
Han Xing smiled all over his face and said very calmly: "I'm just here to talk about business, but I just saw that Brigade Commander Wu was carrying a gun, and my heart was in the way." Brigadier Wu, please be seated, please be seated. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he gave up Jet Wu to the chair.
But Jet Wu dared to sit down, and said incoherently: "Han ...... Commander Han, what do you want to do? Sue sΓΉ you...... As long as you shoot,...... My men are right outside the door, and the big army will be there soon. β
Han Xing said: "Brigade Commander Wu, Brigade Commander Wu, I am here to negotiate with you. If you had a knife and a gun, do you think you would have survived until now? β
Li Yaotang hurriedly persuaded the rack and said: "It's good if you don't use force, it's good if you don't use force, if you have something to say." β
Jet Wu thought about it, if Han Xing wanted to kill himself, I am afraid that he would not be able to stand here for a long time. After thinking about it like this, his heart calmed down, and he said to Han Xing: "Commander Han, what do you want to do, I didn't offend you?" β
Han Xing smiled and said: "That's the case, I know, it turns out that when I was in charge of the military quartermasters, I took special care of you, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing." Now that Wang Jinxiang is in charge, he is not necessarily much better than I was back then. I have a batch of pharmaceutical business here, which is penicillin that is lacking in the market, I don't know if you can do it? β
When Jet Wu heard it, penicillin, it was out of stock in the market, and one had been sold for 5 yuan. What is the concept of 5 yuan, a soldier's food expenses are only three dollars a day, a soldier's monthly allowance is only three yuan, and a commander's is only five yuan. This penicillin is a drug that is in short supply in the world, and it can only be produced in Hanhang's factory.
Such a good thing, why did Han Xing hand it over to me, is there really a pie in the sky!?
Jet Wu immediately said: "Thank you Commander Han, if Commander Han does this big business for me, I really thank Commander Han." β
Han Xing immediately said: "Before doing this batch of production, I still have a batch of orders here, you can take a look." β
Jet Wu immediately took a look, he really didn't know if he didn't see it, he was shocked when he saw it, and he complained that there was no free lunch in the world? This order is simply a running account, recording what Jet Wu did on which day and what he did on which day when he was the emperor's army. It's all bad stuff!
Jet Wu was sweating when he saw it, if these bills were really spread to the society, would ...... That...... The consequences are unimaginable.
Jet Wu also figured it out, since Han Xing has made an order, it must negotiate the price. I had to ask cautiously and fearfully: "Commander Han, what is the price of these orders of yours?" β
Han Xing smiled and said, "This matter is simple, aren't you going to go to the 10th detachment to do business?" β
Han Xing was a little bit, and Jet Wu understood that this was to tell him to give up attacking the 10th detachment. That's a big price! Jet Wu had no choice but to say: "There are many things, I really can't be at home." To do business in the 10th detachment, this is the order of Commissioner Wang, and it has nothing to do with me! β
Han Xing still smiled and said, "That's the best!" If you go to the 10th detachment to do business, I will leave it to someone else. Commissioner Wang, the military commander, and some people are all willing to ask for this batch of orders. Just watch it out! β
Jet Wu thought about it, this Han Xing is really too impressive! If these black materials are handed over to the Kuomintang or the military commanders, my life will be over. It is a big deal to "do business" with the 10th detachment, but my life is not a trivial matter, compared with the two things, the lighter of the two, it seems that I have to comply.
