Chapter 37: Plan before you act
The next day, Gao Guoying went to discuss the purchase of the store, Hao Tianzhu accompanied Shangguan Yun to the hospital to visit the patient, and Xiaoma remained in the hospital. Ouyang Jian took Tao Yong to the Dahua Hotel to book a room, and discussed with the shopkeeper in the hotel for a long time before coming out. The innkeeper sent out the door and nodded. "Sir, why book a room here, why are we staying here?" "We don't live here, and that's called being prepared?" Tao Yong was confused, but it was not good to ask again.
The two began to wander around the city. Wandering around is also purposeful, not aimless. Ouyang Jian knew that the 7th Army of the Gui Army was currently stationed in Wuhan, and the commander of the 7th Army, Xia Wei, was personally in charge. Ouyang Jian wanted to feel the situation of the Gui army and learn about the weapons and equipment and soldiers of the Gui army. The political opponents of the veteran have begun to openly unite, and next year there will be a wave of joint downfall, and Li Zongren will bear the brunt of the target. Jiang Gui is about to go to war, and at that time Lao Jiang will personally command the conquest of Wuhan, and there is no doubt that Li Zongren is not an opponent.
Don't look at Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang, and Yan Xishan raised their arms and shouted, they have the power of Mount Tai to overpower, but they themselves are not monolithic, and they all have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts for their own interests. On the surface, they are united, but in fact, they are extremely dirty. When Li Zongren faced Chiang Kai-shek's cultural attack and military defense, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, trying to gain the benefits of the fisherman.
The Gui faction blindly expanded internal discord and the generals were separated, and then they were broken by the division and disintegration of Lao Chiang, and finally Li Zongren was defeated and fled to Hong Kong for refuge. It can be said that none of them are Lao Jiang's opponents, and Lao Jiang's ability is not only on the battlefield, but also in the means outside the battlefield. There is no doubt that Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and Lao Jiang are not fighters of the same level at all, otherwise how could Lao Jiang become a climate?
At a hidden point outside the barracks, Ouyang Jian took out a telescope to observe. On the playground, Gui Jun was practicing, and the password was very loud, but the soldier's drill made Ouyang Jian pout. Two caravan trucks rumbled into the barracks, kicking up a cloud of dust. "Sir, what is in the Guijun truck, it is slammed and tight." Tao Yong was confused. "It's ammunition, it's brought from the arsenal, and generally the barracks are separated from the arsenal to avoid accidents." Ouyang Jian judged that Gui Jun and Jiang Jun usually do not know how to shoot live ammunition training, and they will not send ammunition to soldiers without combat missions.
There is only one way to explain it, the Gui army has purchased new weapons, has to equip the troops, and obviously has to prepare for battle. This situation made Ouyang Jian's heart itch a little. But at the moment, this is not the purpose of this trip, it is necessary to take into account the overall situation. However, Ouyang Jian had another plan, that is, to wait until the Jiang-Gui War started in March, and he wanted to use this opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Don't miss the opportunity, why not do it if there is a benefit. As for how to act, it will depend on the situation.
A few days later, Ouyang Jian felt the situation of the Guijun barracks almost perfectly, and Gao Guoying successfully bought the house and moved into a new home. Ouyang Jian stood at the door of the porcelain shop and took a closer look, although the gilded plaque was a little old, it vaguely revealed the style, indicating that the previous owner had been brilliant. The shopping mall is like a battlefield that will collapse and sink into the sand if you are not careful, this is an eternal law, Ouyang Jian couldn't help but sigh. Behind the porcelain shop is a two-entry house, there are 6 houses, Gao Guoying spent 8 gold bars (pure gold) to buy the front shop and the back house, it should be said that the price is very fair.
That night, Ouyang Jian said to Gao Guoying and Hao Tianzhu, "Shangguan Yun has roughly figured out the situation in the hospital in the past few days, this injured Master Pang is a craftsman in the rifle workshop, and it is such a craftsman that our firearms institute needs for its future development." There is no problem in hiring this person, the key is to let him take a group of people, so Master Pang needs to lobby. I need a lot of hands. There is another plan, which is to borrow chickens to lay eggs ・・・・・・. Gao Guoying and Hao Tianzhu were excited when they heard this. Comrade Ouyang Jian, what do I need to do in this part of the arsenal? "Gao Guoying, please.
"You can't help, take care of your business with peace of mind, but I want to use Hao Tianzhu's people." "Captain, I'll listen to orders at any time!" Hao Tianzhu geared up. "Comrade Ouyang Jian, let me report to you that the guys in the porcelain shop have stayed, and they have been paid thirty percent according to your wishes. Boss Su told me about his business relationship before leaving, but I am still a layman who does not know how to start with the porcelain business. "This is easy to do, I will give you a suggestion, you choose a second shopkeeper among the guys, they are all familiar with the road, remember that there must be a brave man under the reward." "Great idea!"
Ouyang Jian continued: "I plan to stay until June next year and then go back, during which time you will buy two cargo ships and build a water trade route directly to Jiujiang." At present, there is already our power in Poyang Lake, so you can rest assured. Your task is to transport the things needed in the base area to Poyang Lake in the future, and you must make sure that this secret trade route is operational. There are already more than a dozen people under Hao Tianzhu, and now I announce the official establishment of the Wuhan Underground Rangers, with Hao Tianzhu as the captain. The task of the Einsatzgruppen is not combat, but mainly to protect the safety of transported goods. ”
Half a month later, Pang Jingui was discharged from the hospital, and the family of four was taken to the newly bought house by Ouyang Jian to continue treatment. In order to reassure the family of four, Ouyang Jian directly clarified his purpose, and said that he needed manpower for his firearms, and this trip was to hire people from the arsenal, and it was God's will to meet Master Pang by chance. Pang Jingui was worried that he would not be able to repay Ouyang Jian's great kindness, so he naturally agreed without hesitation. Ouyang Jian took the opportunity to ask Pang Jingui to find more people to go with him, and as for what kind of craftsmen were needed, Ouyang Jian gave a detailed explanation. The benefactor's actions are enough to prove that he can be relied on, and Pang Jingui patted his chest to ensure that there was no problem.
On this day, a bright black Beetle car stopped in front of a beautiful house, the driver got out of the car with white gloves and opened the door on the other side, only to see a man wearing a black Nizi coat; A middle-aged man in a top hat gets out of the car. The middle-aged man wore a pair of glasses and carried a document bag in his hand. On a rickshaw at the intersection in the distance, Hao Tianzhu introduced: "After our careful investigation, this is the chief engineer of the Hanyang Arsenal, named Li Hard, who studied in the United Kingdom and is an expert in ordnance. His wife is in charge of the housework, and he has a son and a daughter who are studying, and we know so much about the general situation. "Enough, you're doing a good job. The next move is at my command, and it will not be difficult to get him. ”
In the room of the new mansion that night, Shangguan Yun was dissatisfied: "What are you doing mysteriously all day long, I'm almost suffocating at home!" Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "You are my wife, naturally you have to abide by women's morals at home, except for formal occasions, I can take you, you can't show your head on other occasions, this is also your job." In the past few days, Master Pang's co-workers have often visited, and the task of receiving them will be handed over to you. But don't worry, I promise to let you have a good time, but you have to be patient, otherwise I won't take you to play. "Really, words count."
"I'll go to Hao Tianzhu's room to discuss the plan of action in a while, and I won't go back to the room tonight." "What's the use of you coming back, it's useless to come back!" Shangguan Yun pursed his lips. Ouyang Jian smiled and discussed, "From today onwards, will you be my sister?" I'll be your big brother from now on! "Big brother is on top, please bow to my little sister!" Shangguan Yun made a fool of fortune, then turned around and sulked with his back. "Okay, you can rest early!" Ouyang Jian shook his head and left, Shangguan Yun's eyes were full of tears, and he stomped his feet twice to vent his dissatisfaction.
"The plan of action is this, after the target in front of the house appears, you quickly ・・・・・・." Ouyang Jian explained the action steps to Hao Tianzhu in detail, and strived to make sure that there was no leakage. Early the next morning, Li Chade, chief engineer of the Hanyang Arsenal, walked out of the courtyard with a briefcase in his hand, his wife stood in front of the door to say goodbye, and the driver stood on the side of the door to wait. At this moment, Hao Tianzhu and a man in a strong suit suddenly rushed out, both of them wearing turbans. Hao Tianzhu snatched the leather bag from Richard's hand in front of him, and his figure quickly ran.
Just when the driver moved quickly and pulled out his pistol, the man behind saw that the situation was not good, and the flying knife stabbed the driver's chest. "My purse, my purse!" Richard shouted in pursuit, as if the bag was more important than the driver's life. Mrs. Li screamed when she saw this scene, and she was at a loss. Just as the two "robbers" were fleeing, a rickshaw appeared in front of them, and a person flew off the rickshaw. This person is no one else's official Ouyang Jian. "Brother, I'm sorry!" Ouyang Jian silently thought in his heart that one leg had just landed, and then his body was in the air.
I saw that the shape of the body in the air changed very quickly, the mandarin duck kicked Hao Tianzhu's back, Hao Tianzhu rolled twice on the ground, and then the other party was extremely fast, and one flying foot went straight to the head. Hao Tianzhu casually smashed the bag at Ouyang Jian, Ouyang Jian reached out to catch the bag, and the two "robbers" took the opportunity to escape. Richard ran over out of breath, "Sir, the robbers have run away, this is your purse!" "Thank you for your help, please leave your name." "Sir, don't worry about it, goodbye!" After Ouyang Jian finished speaking, he boarded the rickshaw and left in style. Richard was a little stunned, and he was already far away to find someone else.
"Captain, when did you become so agile, I didn't even see my back clearly before I took the call." Hao Tianzhu rubbed his somewhat sour neck and shook his head: "I didn't expect that the driver had a gun, and his subordinates had no choice but to kill the killer." "I didn't expect this to happen, it seems that there is always a mistake in Baimi. Fortunately, there is no danger, and you must make a careful plan in the future, and I am to blame for this matter. It appears that the driver doubles as a bodyguard. But the action went well, the first step of the plan was successful, and the next step was formulated. ”
After the next year, the city of Wuhan suddenly became tense and panicked. Gui's troops moved frequently, their vigilance began to be tightened, and normal military drills were canceled. Ouyang Jian knew in his heart that Jiang Gui was going to start fighting.
After more than a month of hard work and according to Ouyang Jian's request, Master Pang contacted 5 craftsmen, all of whom said that they would go to Jiangxi together. In addition to wages, they also demanded to bring apprentices and family members. This is what Ouyang Jian couldn't ask for, so he naturally pushed the boat down the river and gave them an additional settling-in fee.
After this piece was completed, the tense atmosphere of the old calendar year arrived, and everyone was lively and lively after the New Year, and Master Pang's leg injury was almost a lot. Ouyang Jian decided to let Pony take Master Pang and the others back to Yunshui County in advance. Ouyang Jian estimated that the machinery and equipment that Guo Boyun entrusted the Chamber of Commerce to buy had already arrived, and Guo Boyun was relieved.
At noon on this day, Hao Tianzhu hurried over to report: "Captain, the target has ・・・・・・." When Ouyang Jian heard this, he immediately ordered Shangguan Yun to freshen up and dress up. What task is so urgent? "Shangguan Yun hurriedly applied grease and powder, changed clothes, and muttered with a confused face." Let's go to the restaurant for dinner, how about this task is good! Shangguan Yun was overjoyed when he heard this.
The "husband and wife" both walked out of the courtyard gate, and the rickshaw was already waiting outside. The restaurant is located in a prosperous area and is a very famous restaurant. Looking at the three gilded characters of Juxian Building from a distance, the dragon and the phoenix dance, it seems that there is really such a fairy spirit. "Husband and wife" The two got out of the car and paused, "What is the name of this restaurant, the handwriting is a little weird!" Shangguan Yun naturally grabbed Ouyang Jian's arm, and he was already completely involved in the play. It's called Juxian Building, and if you teach you to read, you don't want to, and if you don't read, it's like being blind. By the way, eat less and eat more with guests for a while. ”
"What, there's someone else to eat with?" "Just go in and find out!"
