Chapter 546: Grain Table
The county town was sacked, the officials and gentry were slaughtered, and Zhao Guanhou's army entered the city, and no one could even be found. It took a lot of effort for the pen to find a few gentry who had escaped www.biquge.info catastrophe and reluctantly negotiated. Zhao Guanhou issued two orders in a row, one was not to collect money and grain, and the other was to continue to maintain law and order, and the large army lived outside the city, and only a few men and horses were stationed in the city. At the same time, the five-color military flag was pulled up and the scattered troops were gathered.
Although Feng Huanzhang's troops suffered heavy losses, not all of them were killed, and many troops were scattered by the Bai Lang army and messed up the formation. When you see the military flag and come back, you can still return to the army. It's just that after these troops are rebuilt, they will be temporarily placed under the command of Zhao Guanhou and cannot move freely.
This time into the county seat, Wang Bin made a great achievement, his troops made a detour to march, and when they arrived in Shangnan, it was just when Hu Yunyi's regiment was killing in the city, and did not prevent someone from sneaking up behind. Wang Bu took advantage of the weakness to enter, and without much effort, he solved the Hu Bu regiment, and at the same time incorporated the remnants of the two battalions of the Shaanxi army that were originally stationed in the city and guarded the baggage.
At the time of Geming, Shaanxi, the bloodbathed flag city, there was this period of festival, and the common people were quite resistant to the entry of flag soldiers. It is even rumored that the banner soldiers entered Shaanxi this time to avenge the death of the banner people in Xi'an, and will kill the Han people in Shaanxi. However, Wang Bin's subordinates came at the right time, and the local people did not see the slaughter of the banner people, and were first subjected to the white soldiers of the same clan. After the banner soldiers entered the city, they killed the swordsmen, maintained order, and did not harass the people, and the rumors were destroyed without attacking. With this empirical evidence, it will be of great benefit to the use of force in Shaanxi in the future.
Zhao Guanhou also agreed with Wang Bincheng's approach, and after he entered the city, he did not let his subordinates get rich, but registered the spoils of war, sealed the treasury, sent special personnel to guard them, and strictly prohibited harassment of the people. The Judge Advocate Corps patrolled back and forth with large knives, and if they found a violation of discipline, they would all cut them down. In addition, the injured gentry officials were also registered, and as soon as Zhao Guanhou came, he immediately handed over the booklet and asked Zhao Guanhou to issue an order for compensation.
"Bereavement? We are the Lu army, and we are considered guest soldiers here, I don't eat them and take them, even if it's good, they still use my pension? ”
The handsome laughed. The Lu army and the Shaanxi army are all communist soldiers, and Shaanxi is also a communist territory, so communist soldiers naturally have the obligation to protect the safety of the lives and property of the communist people. Now that the yamen in Shangnan has collapsed, we are the only backbone of the people, and if we don't do the things of compassionate care, there will be no one else to do it. Moreover, if the marshal does this, he is not afraid that he will not receive the support of the people. It was true that the gentry's house was robbed, but the lowly soldiers entered the city quickly, and their losses were not too great. Let's send these losses back, and it won't be long before we can get a tenfold and hundredfold return. As long as we win the hearts of the people to our side, whether it is to solve Bai Lang or eat Guo Jian, it will not be a problem. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled and said: "Our main task is to fight the white wolf, and now that the white wolf has been beaten and lost half of his life, maybe in a few days, there will be an order to return to the province." Guo Jian, do you still need to take it into consideration? ”
Wang Bincheng also smiled, "Since the Guo thief is bold and dares to attack the baggage camp where his wife is located, if our Lu army does not solve him, wouldn't it be a fall for the prestige of the handsome?" With or without orders from the War Department, he had to clean up. ”
"The land in Shaanxi is barren and the military salary is unpaid, so fighting here is a poor and a chore."
"Bin was promoted by the marshal, and he was appointed to an important position, and he should be killed in revenge. No matter how hard or tired it is, there are no complaints. is willing to fight Guo Jian to the end with a regiment of divisions, and vent his anger for the handsome. ”
Zhao Guanhou patted him on the shoulder, "My relatives, don't say anything superfluous, do it well." In my case, there is no distinction between flag people and Han Chinese, clans or international students. I have only one request, and if he is faithful to me, and if he is faithful enough, I will ensure that he is prosperous and rich, and has a group of wives and concubines. You won't lose. ”
In the Ya of Shangnan County, Aunt Jin, who was with the army to help run the grain station, had already begun to roll out the account books and check the money, grain and materials under the service of her henchmen. Because the materials of the original Feng Huanzhang's department were all detained by the Lu army, a large amount of input was added out of thin air. There is a lot of work to be done in registering.
The maid had just experienced the attack of the horse thief today, and was in shock, and she was tired of saddle horses all the way, although she was sitting in the carriage, she was dizzy and dizzy, and her back hurt. Knowing that his wife's health is not much better than his own, I am afraid that it will be hard work, so I can't help complaining:
"We shouldn't be here. This is not the place you should be here, my wife. The northwest wind and sand are strong, the sun is poisonous, and after staying here for a long time, even the hands have become thicker. Men should be allowed to run the grain table, not women. Also, I think the handsome man has no conscience, let his wife suffer like this, but he didn't even say a word of condolences, so he shouldn't ......"
"Shut up!" Aunt Jin lit the hookah, drank the girl, and immediately coughed. "Ahem...... You're trying to me off, aren't you? I asked for this errand, and I have to do it well. If you are bitter, find a way to go home by yourself, I don't need you! The eldest lady of the family is a handsome house, didn't she still go to the front line in person, and almost went to fight the horse thief. Compared to her, what have I done by suffering from this? When I first made trouble with the Flying Tigers, I suffered more than that. I'm getting old, and even if I don't come to the northwest, my skin will become wrinkled, so I don't care anymore. If you dare to say one more word, see if I don't hit you! ”
"If you cough so badly, smoke less. Go, go to the military doctor to get some loquat dew for Aunt Jin, and say what I said, he must have it, and he is not allowed to refuse. ”
Zhao Guanhou pushed the door in, the master and servant were all shocked, the maid hurriedly lowered her head and walked out, but Aunt Jin stopped her, "Stupid, what are you running?" Let's go make tea for Dashuai first, it doesn't matter if I'm sick. It's an old problem, and it's going to cough in the month, and it's good in the spring. ”
"The tea is not in a hurry, the water in this place is not good, and the water can only be drunk after boiling for a while. Also, there is mutton in the room, and I still want to eat mutton soup. I don't know, is there a mouthful? ”
Aunt Jin's face turned red, and the mature woman seemed to have become a little woman in an instant, with no place to put her hands and feet, she hurriedly put down the cigarette pouch, got up and packed up her clothes, held the jewelry on her head, and said with some trepidation: "Yes...... You can eat whatever you want. It is...... It's just that mutton soup takes some time, and it can't be done well for a while. ”
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, do it slowly. You can't do it, I'll help you. As he spoke, he took Aunt Jin's hand, "I touched it to see where it got thicker, and I was telling lies again." Lie...... It's a punishable ......"
Aunt Jin's face was flushed, as if she had just drunk a few catties of fine Fen wine, greedily touching the sturdy body of the man next to her, feeling the strong arms, and her heart was immersed in this stolen moment of entertainment. "I thought...... You're never coming again. I'm in my thirties this year, and I'm already an old woman, and I'm not as beautiful as Miss Leng He. I...... I'm nothing, and it's normal that you don't want me. ”
"If you're nothing, how could I let you come to the Northwest. In Shandong, although Dong Jun is not often there, after all, there are many people, and it is difficult to gossip. Here, it's our world, and you can do whatever you want. This time to fight the white wolf and solve Guo Jian, I am afraid that I will have to fight several big battles, and I will have to start spring before it is possible to return to Shandong. Maybe in a few months, you can give me a son. ”
Thinking of the two of them having a child, Aunt Jin was shy, and couldn't help but be a little excited, "I listen to you, if you want me to give birth, I will give birth to you." If things go wrong, I'll have to swallow opium, and if I follow you, it's worth it even if I die. ”
"How can my woman die? I want you to live well and slowly find a way in the future to let you live a good life and stop being so sneaky, which is not fair to you. ”
Aunt Jin shook her head, "No, I can only do this with you, if you really make things clear, it will not be good for your reputation." As long as you take the time to visit me, I'll be satisfied. Even in Siheng Bank, I feel comfortable talking about business with you. At night, you will come to my dreams......"
She was greedy and demanding, and it was not until she was powerless again that Zhao Guanhou said: "I heard what your maid said, indeed, you are too hard." In this way, I will find someone else for the account. As the commander of my army, it is not difficult to find a tent room. ”
"How's that going to work? The tent is like a person's bloodline, how can it be pinched in the hands of outsiders. For your sake, I don't care if I'm tired. Aunt Jin said with satisfaction: "Before entering Shaanxi, I prepared cotton clothes, and I am not afraid of winter." I don't know anything about war, but I know how to do business, and this place in Shaanxi is not easy to transport, and grain is much more expensive than elsewhere. The money to buy ten catties of grain outside can only buy one catty here. It's the same with foreign rice, the shipping cost is too high. I heard that Zuo Jigao ran Tianfang in the northwest back then, and he borrowed more than 10 million foreign debts alone. Of course, most of them bought guns and guns, but there was also a lot of money to buy food. We have enough food to eat now, but if we fight for a long time, we still have to think about buying food. ”
"Jenson has already gone to negotiate with someone. After all, Warby Bank has a certain amount of influence, and she came forward to negotiate with foreign businessmen, which may be better than the local government. Then there is the missionary John Zhao, who is willing to come out to help us talk about the grain trade and help us lower the price. The price is that I want my subordinates to be merciful and let Feng Huanzhang go. This kid reported my name in Beijing, and then he went to the northwest to serve as a soldier. As a result, this time he didn't follow my moderation and acted without authorization, and almost made a big mess. I think it's to take care of him, but now for the sake of food, I have to leave a way for him. There are these ways to go, food can always find a way, as for the expenses, you can rest assured, whoever I miss, I will not miss your money, and I promise not to let Siheng lose money. ”
Aunt Jin said: "My people are all yours, what is the money, as long as I can help you, I don't care if my family goes bankrupt." I don't have children anyway, I can do whatever I want, as long as you're good, I'll be happy. In fact, I can also find a way to deal with food, in addition to foreigners, there is another way in the northwest, which is Dayingke. ”
At the beginning, Zuo Ji Gao used troops in the northwest, which led to the development of Western merchants, and the big camp became a way out for a large number of businessmen to make a fortune. Among them, Yang Liuqing's Tianjin Gang is the most powerful, and although its main business is in Xinjiang, it also has a lot of influence in Shaanxi.
The second is Shanxi Jin merchants. Western businessmen in Shaanxi, inside and outside the soft, many business names, strong power, Aunt Jin has a relationship with the Dong family, and these Western businessmen, it is considered to have an incense relationship, and it can be said.
These people have been in business for many years, and they have some connections available, so as long as they are willing to help and get a batch of low-cost grain, they can still do it. Shaanxi's grain is like a war and competition, one increase and one decrease, which has a bearing on the growth and decline of the war potential of the two sides, and is not inferior to the importance of front-line operations.
Zhao Guanhou lightly played with Aunt Jin's body, "If that's the case, I'll have to work hard for you, you don't like Old Man Dong, we have this relationship again, if you don't want to meet someone in the name of his aunt's wife, I won't force it." ”
"As long as I can share your worries, it doesn't matter what I do. It's not early, you hurry up, or the wives won't look good. ”
Zhao Guanhou hugged Aunt Jin's waist, "I'll sleep with you tonight, and I'll not go anywhere." ”
"Sleep with me?" Aunt Jin's voice trembled uncontrollably, "This...... That's not going to work...... In case that Miss Yang comes to you......"
"Here I have the final say, I can sleep with whoever I want. You cough so badly, I'll look good at night, pour you water and drink medicine. After turning back to the battle, I asked Dr. Qu to show you, his medical skills are good, and he can be cured in a moment. Whoever loves to look for me and who looks for me, I don't care......"
Aunt Jin didn't care what he said next, her tears were already all over her face, and she had no regrets for tonight's stay.
In the early morning of the next day, when Zhao Guanhou was walking all the way in the courtyard, Gao Sheng came in and returned, and the Tiger Roaring Forest Department had withdrawn from the front line, and I heard that there were some gains.
When they arrived in the front yard, they saw that Hu Xiaolin and Sun Jiucheng, the cavalry commander under Sun Meiyao, were being trained, and Ryanstein's whip almost pointed at the noses of the two, "You two salted fish!" In pursuit of the battle, you only get so much, whether you are riding a horse or a donkey! I don't want victory, but victory, what does it mean to win, you know? Why did you lose a company and capture less than five hundred prisoners, did you pursue or attack? ”
"Chief of Staff, don't be so arrogant when you get up early in the morning, you two, don't bow your head and droop your head, I heard Gao Sheng say that you are victorious, what does this mean?"
"Back to the commander, we originally thought that this battle was a victory, but as soon as the chief of staff said it, we ourselves felt that it was still not fought well. The loss of more than 100 brothers, the continuous killing and capture, the destruction of less than 1,000 enemies, and the defeat of soldiers are indeed not outstanding. But this is also for a reason, Guo Jian's cavalry suddenly came out to respond, which was unexpected. Originally, I thought he was fighting Qiangbai, and our well water did not interfere with the river water. Who knows, he really gave his strength to help the white wolf, and there were thousands of cavalry who came to respond, and we saw that there were too many of them, so we had to retreat first. ”
"Guo Jian? It's him again, it seems that he is iron-hearted, and he wants to embarrass me, let's not go through a few tricks with him, and I think we are afraid of him. This time, not only the wolves were beaten, but even these Northwest tigers were cleaned up together. ”
Hu Xiaolin said: "Dashuai, Guo Thief's department, although there are a lot of troops, but we have not embarrassed you, and we still have the advantage in the two battles." Not only did he repel his cavalry regiment, but he also brought back a man. is the leader of the militia group, I heard that Guo Jian suffered some losses, and he was about to bring back Qiangbai to kill his head, but he was rescued by us, and he is willing to help us deal with Guo Thief. ”
"Well done, go back and wait for the reward, bring the people of the militia first, I have something to ask him." (To be continued.) )
