Miyamoto said what he really thought, although he was an old friend of Yang Tianfeng, he did not waste his public affairs too much, and his loyalty to Japanese militarism did not allow him to do so. But there are some deviations in this, because Yang Tianfeng is no longer the Yang Tianfeng of the past, and the judgments he made based on his past memories are all wrong.

Watanabe nodded slightly, Miyamoto's analysis is very reasonable, and he really can't mobilize troops to completely stabilize the place now. Using Yang Tianfeng's armament to let the Chinese fight the Chinese is a good method, which is in line with the aggressive policy of "using China to govern China." Moreover, the location of Qulong Town is also very important, it is the main water and land transportation route from the county seat to Maozhou, which strengthens Yang Tianfeng's armament, and on the other hand, it also relatively ensures the safety of this place and reduces his worries.

"The equipment of a squad cannot be more." Watanabe finally made a decision, saying, "Tell him that if there is a record, I will give him more supplies as appropriate." ”

Miyamoto nodded and said, "That's good, since you want the horse to run fast, you have to give it some good food." As for the future, looking at his performance, this is also an incentive. ”

Watanabe laughed and said, "Haha, this reminds me of the story of using carrots to make a donkey obediently drive away, well, Miyamoto-kun, do you think it looks like it?" ”

"Elephant, it's very apt." Miyamoto echoed and laughed.

As soon as Miyamoto left, Yang Tianfeng rushed to the map, looked, measured, and then gasped and sat on the chair weakly.

Huayuankou embankment burst to block the Japanese army, also known as the Huayuankou Incident and the Huayuankou Massacre, is one of the three major tragedies in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, along with the Changsha Fire and the Chongqing Air-raid Shelter Massacre. To know this, you don't need very professional historical knowledge, and the huge amount of information in Yang Tianfeng's mind can be more accurate to the months and days, but according to the map, the Japanese army is about to capture Kaifeng, and then Zhengzhou, and Huayuankou is near Zhengzhou, and there is not much time left.

The water of the Yellow River, which rushed down, rolled up a huge wave, rushed from west to east, broke the Longhai Railway, flooded Zhongmu, Weishi, Fugou, Xihua, Huaiyang and other places, and submerged the embankment of the Huaihe River. The entire Yellow Flood Area formed from northwest to southeast, more than 400 kilometers long, flows through more than 300,000 square kilometers in 44 counties of Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces......

The vague plan in Yang Tianfeng's mind was completely disrupted, which made him extremely depressed and anxious. Originally, he wanted to train his men and horses, collect grass and stock up on grain during this time, develop in a low-key manner, and take the opportunity to deceive the Japanese of weapons and ammunition. Wait until you have a solid grasp of this force, and then set up a banner and fight the Japanese.

But now, obviously, the question of survival has taken precedence. Judging from the topography on the map, it is certain that the Yellow River will burst its banks and the Huaibei Plain in eastern Henan will be flooded. After the yellow water, the problem of eating alone is a great difficulty, what are you talking about fighting against Japan and fighting devils?

Thinking of this, Yang Tianfeng looked at the calendar on the wall, it was almost May, and he knew that there was not much time left, so he was even more anxious. He frowned and thought for a long time, then stood up and strode out the door.

Taking a nap after lunch is the habit of Zhao Lao's shopkeeper, and it is a habit that cannot be moved. If anyone disturbs him while he is sleeping, it will be enough to get out of bed.

But today, the old shopkeeper Zhao was woken up but didn't dare to get angry, because his shop was a business of the Yang family, and he was holding the rice bowl given by the Yang family. Now standing in front of him is the young master of the Yang family, and it is Yang Tianfeng, who has a gloomy face, and everyone is a little unhappy.

"The shop can be stopped." Yang Tianfeng's first sentence made the old shopkeeper Zhao chuckle in his heart, and his face changed.

Alas, I knew there would be such a day. The old shopkeeper Zhao thought to himself with some sadness: The young master wants to clean up the old man, and he has entered after cultivation. Whoever is in charge of the house will inevitably take this step, but I just hope that the young master will not do too much for the sake of his conscientious work for so many years.

"Young master, I'll go get the account book." Old Zhao said in a trembling voice.

"Ledger? What do you do with the ledger? Yang Tianfeng waved his hand a little impatiently, and said anxiously: "You write down the things I explained first, and let go of the messy things in the shop first." ”

Old Shopkeeper Zhao blinked, didn't he listen to the young master's tone as if he wanted to change people?

"Send more people to buy grain, the more the better." Yang Tianfeng's thinking is not very mature, and his speech is not very coherent, he touched his chin and circled around the house, "I still have to buy salt, buy as much as you want, oh no, you can't be too public, anyway, you have to buy as much as possible, and try not to attract the attention of others." ”

The old shopkeeper Zhao has a bottom in his heart, the young master is going to learn to do business, and making a move is a big deal, grain, salt, well, during the war, it is indeed beneficial and profitable to do a good job.

"Young master, it's a little early to harvest grain now, right?" The old shopkeeper Zhao kindly suggested, "The wheat will be harvested in more than a month, and the price should be lower at that time." ”

"It's been a month, it's too late, it's too late." Yang Tianfeng shook his head again and again, sighed, and said helplessly: "Mr. Zhao, I will immediately send someone home to get the money, you can do as I say, whether it is wheat, rice, corn, or sorghum, as long as it is edible, you must buy more." But there is one thing, this grain must be bought and transported as it is bought, and it will be pulled to Qulong Town. By water, by land, how fast and how to come. Also, don't make it known to everyone and try to keep it as secretive as possible. ”

These requirements were so strange that the old shopkeeper Zhao was confused, and he didn't understand what the young master meant by being too late, but he didn't want to talk more. Anyway, the Yang family has money, so it's up to you to toss!

"Mr. Zhao, you must handle this matter well." Yang Tianfeng stared at the old shopkeeper Zhao, strengthened his tone and emphasized: "Remember, time is very tight, there is only a little more than a month. ”

"Young master, don't worry!" Old Zhao's shopkeeper patted his chest and promised: "I have been in the Yang family for decades, and I have done a lot of big and small things, and I have never made a mistake. For more than a month, I promise to do this properly. ”

"Good, good, good." Yang Tianfeng said three good things in a row, stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Zhao Lao's shopkeeper's shoulder, but he felt that he was not respectful enough, so he took the situation, grabbed Zhao Lao's shopkeeper's hand, shook it vigorously, and said sincerely: "Zhao Lao, please." Things are done well, I will give you a salary increase, and all the shops of the Yang family will be under your management in the future. ”

Old Zhao, listening to this title, Old Shopkeeper Zhao was simply flattered, and his lips trembled a little, he had worked in the Yang family for so many years, when had he ever received such courtesy. Regardless of whether the young master is right or wrong, I fully support you.
