Chapter 358: Murder by a Knife (I)
At noon the next day, the passenger ship slowly left the Changbei wharf, Kang Ze and Dai Li, who were on the back deck, put down their waving hands, and saw An Yi's figure on the wharf motionless, as if they would not leave until they were completely invisible, and they deeply regretted that An Yi, a smart and persistent junior brother, was unwilling to go to Shanghai together.
The shadow of the dock was already confused, and Kang Ze, who had talked about the dawn with Dai Li and An Yi in detail last night, sighed, turned around and looked at the egrets flying freely on the blue water, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yunong, what are you thinking?" ”
Dai Li took out a cigarette, turned sideways to avoid the wind and lit one, leaned against the railing on the side of the ship, and exhaled a long smoke:
"I was wondering when Xiao Yi would come out of the mountains and enter the military world again, and I talked all night last night, and many of his words were deeply touching. Again, he is really knowledgeable in industry and commerce, and he is also very clear about the current status quo of industry and commerce, no wonder the seniors of Jing Lao's status also favor him, and he is really worried that he is addicted to making money and is unwilling to come out to lead the army, which is really a loss for the principal and the great cause of the party-state. ”
Kang Ze nodded: "I also feel the same way, Senior Brother An is indeed a business genius, and he brings the vigorous and resolute spirit of the army into his own factory, which is very pragmatic and efficient, and very innovative, judging from his current seven or eight factories and development momentum, it is difficult for him to make a fortune." ”
"It seems that you were very touched by the new military uniform he gave each of us this morning?" Dai Li asked with a smile.
"Isn't it? Yesterday afternoon we only went to his garment factory, and it took about fifteen minutes to walk through the three workshops, but their tailor was able to accurately determine the size of our body without measuring us and without asking us, and made four sets of clothes and trousers inside and out overnight. Combat vest', the process is complex and chic, the copper buckle and canvas fastening belt on it are all aimed at the actual operation, but it is also very beautiful and practical, a set of such clothing inside and outside the size of four pieces plus a canvas belt overnight to drive out of four sets, what kind of efficiency is this?
If it is supplemented by the kind of 'assembly line' production and manufacturing in several workshops of Senior Brother An, how many sets can more than 500 female workers make in a day? I can't even imagine it! Kang Ze sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Dai Li nodded: "Zhao Rui and Yixuan like that set of clothes more than the two of us, it can be seen that Xiao Yi has put a lot of effort into this kind of clothing, this kid is ruthless in everything he does, and his brain is easy to use, always ahead of others, it is difficult to get rich!" However, none of this matters to us, so let's think about how we will report to the principal when we go back. ”
"That's right! The younger brother is trying to discuss with Brother Yunong......"
…… In the parking lot outside the Overseer's Mansion, An Yi, who had just finished meeting Zhu Peide, turned into the back seat of the car and said excitedly to Shen Fengdao beside him:
"Lao Shen, the collapsed western-style building in the south of Baihuazhou in the city and the surrounding more than four acres of land will belong to us in the future! With only 10,000 yuan, I bought this feng shui treasure land facing the lake on one side and the street on the other, which is worth a thousand dollars!
We have to take advantage of the fact that the construction team from Shanghai that built the old Nanchang church is about to be completed, and ask their engineers to design and build a three-story hotel with a lakeside garden on this land, and a song and dance hall nightclub on the more than one acre of land next to it...... Well, we have to come to something trendy, anyway, there are a lot of rich people in Nanchang City, we have to let them all go to our dance halls and Western restaurants to spend money, if you don't do it, we will do the best, and when it is almost built, I will go to Shanghai with you, there are a lot of Belarusians who have fled in the concession, there are chefs, dancers, singers, musicians and everything, please come, haha! ”
"What is a nightclub?" Shen Fengdao was curious.
An Yi thought for a while and replied: "I can't tell for a while, you will naturally know when it is built and opened, the first floor is a western restaurant, the second floor is a song and dance hall, and the third floor is reserved for our own use. ”
Shen Fengdao smiled slightly: "I probably guessed something, but you rushed to see Senior Zhu after sending the boat, just for this matter?" ”
"By the way, don't you say that I almost forgot to get down to business, Uncle De took the gun we gave him yesterday to the Eastern Suburbs Shooting Range for test firing, and told me that the three division commanders and the captain of the guard under his command each shot two shuttles, from 100 meters to 200 meters and finally to 300 meters, after the fight, several people praised the accuracy and power of the gun, and they all wanted to swallow it alone, Uncle De quietly said that it was produced by these generals who couldn't put it down, and no one believed it, he asked me to prepare before parting just now, When he comes back from a two-day meeting in Lushan, he will go to our ordnance factory to have a look, and it is estimated that he will bring a few henchmen, and this business seems to have been completed. An Yi said with a smile.
Shen Fengdao nodded and didn't ask anything anymore, but An Yi gave him a task: "After I go back, I will call Lao Ding, Xingzhen, and Lao Li to have a meeting, and you will also participate, it seems that the matter of Fengcheng can not be delayed any longer, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when General He Long's troops are now confronting the 32nd Army of Chief Qian Dajun, we have to fish in troubled waters and fight quickly."
Just now, Uncle De told me the battle report from the south, saying that General He Long's troops not only had to face the strong pressure of Chief Qian's 32nd Army, but were also constantly attacked by the landlords' armed forces and militia groups in various counties, and the situation was extremely bad, and it was likely to retreat to Fuzhou in the north.
General Ye Ting in the southeast is fighting well and is invincible, but Chief Li Jishen's Cantonese army has gradually gathered in northern Guangdong and northeast Guangdong, Ye Ting is likely to echo with General He Long, close to each other, Uncle De therefore stopped sending his regiment to Fuzhou to station, it seems that Uncle De is not willing to fall out with Ye Ting and He Long, but it is a great opportunity for us. ”
"Big brother, my hands itch as soon as you say it, anyway, there is no big deal here, just let the younger brother have a good time." Lin Yaodong, who was driving, asked loudly.
An Yi refused: "Get out of the way!" Lao Shen wants to lead a team to reconnoiter and be responsible for the liaison of various groups, and the people who go are all brothers from Jiangxi, what can you do with Cantonese official dialect? It's almost as late as you go on the day of the move, and I'll let you go with the tiger head when the time comes. ”
"Brother Xie!"
Lin Yaodong was deeply satisfied.
After going to the hospital in the morning, he looked around with Lao Nanchang and a group of shareholders, ate and drank to discuss the plan to make a fortune, quietly entered the non-commissioned officer training base in the afternoon, and trained with the brothers, and went to the ordnance factory in the evening to ponder the imitation and improvement of weapons with Mustache, Lao Kong and others, and said that Zi lived a very fulfilling life.
Lao Dao looked very leisurely on the surface, but in fact he was so busy that he had to go to the munitions depot located south of the residential area every day to receive telegrams from Nanjing, but also took care of the routine affairs of the recruitment office, and at night he had to sort out the secret reports sent by the secret intelligence team he was in charge of, so that An Yi could make the safest possible decision on the actions of Fengcheng.
Yesterday, Lao Dao also received a headache from An Yi, asking Lao Dao to prepare one hundred and fifty sets of old military uniforms and dye them blue, and after careful questioning, I learned that the military uniforms worn by Fan Shisheng's troops were bluer than those of the revolutionary army, not only Fan Shisheng's personal hobby, but also because his military uniform supplier has always been fixed, anyway, Lao Dao has to be busy with everything, but fortunately, Zhan Huanqi, who is shrewd and delicate and knowledgeable, temporarily acted as Lao Dao's assistant, managing radio communications and various intelligence summaries for Lao Dao.
Lao Dao's secret team is very capable, these people disguised as You Fang Langzhong and Jianghu Warlock went south to Fengcheng, and their footprints were all over the surrounding three counties, and Ding Zhicheng's carefully selected intelligence officers who pretended to be medicinal herb merchants and vagabonds, but they didn't know each other, so every time they got the news, they could corroborate each other, complement each other, and their efficiency was greatly improved.
From the bottom of his heart, Lao Dao is not very willing to see An Yi's poisonous tricks, and always feels that An Yi's premeditated planning one after another is too cruel, full of danger, and the lethality is too great, but from the current reality, Lao Dao has no reason to object, after all, Lao Dao is not the kind of person who eats the ancients, and has already given him a deep understanding of the whole society after walking the rivers and lakes and traveling the world for many years. Therefore, in addition to secretly lamenting An Yi's endless tricks, he did not affect any of An Yi's decisions, but did his best to make up for some deficiencies and possible hidden dangers in An Yi's plan.
Another point that makes Lao Dao feel more at ease is that as long as he occupies Fengcheng, the key point connecting the north and south, he can occupy the three surrounding rich tungsten mining areas, and can make a profit of at least 20 million yuan per year, which can not only play an irreplaceable role in promoting An Yi's career, but also benefit most of the surrounding people.
According to An Yi's plan, after occupying Fengcheng, he will definitely increase the wages of those poor miners, and take out a sum of money to build three schools in and out of the city and expand the county seat, build Huimin Hospital, repair town roads, support orphans and widows, care for women and children, rule by Qingming officials, and publicize the law, so that the people of Fengcheng can live a much better life than before.
Lao Dao is convinced of this, because he knows that although An Yi, who is like his son, is getting stronger and stronger, his filial piety is always consistent, and he will definitely take the promised things seriously.
Therefore, in line with the Dao heart of the Buddha of Amitayus, Lao Dao has no reason not to support An Yi's actions, and the only bit of kindness and compassion for the evil people in his heart is quickly weakened and finally almost ignored under An Yi's real goal, not to mention that since ancient times, those who have become great things are not informal, and the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king is still very important in the heart of the old Tao.
On August 27, the fifth day after An Yi began to put his plan into action, Chen Yu in Nanjing suddenly sent three rich ciphers in succession:
Sun Chuanfang's West Route Army occupies Wulong Mountain, the middle road occupies Qixia Mountain, and the East Road occupies Longtan. After repelling the revolutionary army of Wulong Mountain, it moved east to join the Sun army of Qixia Mountain, and it was late, Bai Chongxi ordered Wei Lihuang, the 14th Division of the First Army, to counterattack from Zhenjiang, in an attempt to recapture the strategic place of Longtan; In order to prevent reinforcements from the revolutionary army, Sun Chuanfang's plainclothes team secretly infiltrated and blew up the tracks of Jiading Anting Station of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway in one fell swoop; General Chen Cheng of the 21st Division of the First Army, General Yao Cong of the Garrison Division, Xia Wei of the Seventh Army, Hu Zongduo of the 19th Army, and Zhong Zupei of the 19th Army went all out to recapture Qixia Mountain. Sun Chuanfang's army immediately reinforced about 30,000 people to cross the river to participate in the battle, and the deputy commander of the second division of the first army, Xu Tingyao, the commander of the 14th Division, Wei Lihuang, and the 22nd Division, Tu Sizong, who had just left for the battlefield, fought hard and suffered heavy losses, and had to retreat again and again, and Nanjing was in danger!
An Yi saw that the emergency report was silent, and after thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind: while the attention of the whole country is now focused on the front line of Nanjing, he will immediately start the Fengcheng operation, and it must be resolved quickly!
