A small detachment set off.

Spy A and Spy B are leaving for the town of Dingshu, where they will set up a shop pù, where the peasants in the backyard will set up a mill.

That's right, Spy A runs a grain store that specializes in buying and selling fine rice.

Three days later, a sign called "Timber Grain Shop" was hung. There is nothing to say about the rice here that is good, but the price is also ridiculously expensive.

There wasn't much business a day, but this shop didn't just sell things, they also collected things.

Coal, wood, and stone can all be exchanged here for a small amount of rice.

The purple sand of Dingshu Town is very famous in later generations, and the scale of local pottery firing is also very large.

For kiln firing, coal is used. Because of the last transaction with Old Man Deng, Zhao Yun had experimented, and when it came to collecting coal, the growth rate of money was still quite high.

Yixing is close to Taihu Lake, and shipping is very developed, and boatloads of coal are transported by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It is then locally dressed up and shipped to all parts of the country.

What Zhao Yun wants is this coal, and to collect some information, after all, this place already belongs to Jiangsu, and the information he gets is different from that of Anhui.

After the store pù in Dingshu Town opened, in an alley in Yixing County, another "wood and grain shop" was ready to open.

opened two in Yixing in one go, and Zhao Yun stopped. At this time, it had been almost ten days since he slipped out of Zhou Village.

Today, Zhao Yun hurriedly got on the plane and returned to Langxi.

Because Shao Lao Ertong, who stayed here, sent him a bad message.

Shao Lao Er's life has been very sad these days, and Zhao Yun has been quiet for a few days after he left, but something has been wrong since three days ago.

On the hillsides around Zhou Village, people began to visit Zhou Village.

Last night, someone even more unscrupulous entered the village at night and touched Zhao Yun's residence in the west of the village. Of course, the person who touched it was beaten into a sieve by Machink.

But someone dared to touch it, and Shao Lao Er couldn't help but report this matter to Zhao Yun. In fact, Zhao Yun is in the field, but he can get the corresponding news from the sentry tower.

So Zhao Yun began to rush back, in fact, he also knew that his rush back would not help solve the case, and he could only find out who sent him, so he could only prove that he was in the house after rushing back. People don't notice what happened in the past few days when they disappeared.

"I've seen Lord Overseer!" Commander-in-Chief Deng stood in front of the county yamen in a rare uniform, and there was a soldier in similar costume beside him.

"Hehe, what a great place to be! The mountains and rivers are beautiful! You two don't even tell me where you've been getting rich lately! Look, planes are flying at the gate of the county! More generous than me! A man in his fifties dressed in a Beiyang general's uniform carried a horsewhip into the county office.

"Where, where, the Overseer's jurisdiction is the real Jiangnan resort! Where wealth is abundant! This plane belongs to someone else, just to prop up a façade for the county! Both of them didn't even dare to speak.

After entering the hall, sit down and say hello

The one in the hall spoke: "This time, our Anhui department lost ground in the battle situation in the north, and its strength was greatly damaged, causing all parties to peep. Due to the death of Li Chun, the overseer of Jiangsu who was directly related to him some time ago, Qi Xieyuan, the new overseer of Jiangsu, has never come to attack our Anhui idea in order to hold a grand funeral for him. However, judging from the incident of the bandits some time ago, they are about to start shooting. Xuancheng and Wuhu are both on the periphery of Nanjing, and people are not allowed to sleep soundly next to the couch, and the next step is to deal with you. What can you do about it? ”

The man in the same costume as Commander-in-Chief Deng stood up and said: "Lord Overseer, the new Jiangsu Overseer Qi Xieyuan is famous, a straw bag general, who has been defeated repeatedly, and the bandits he secretly commanded this time were broken by me and General Deng, although there were some losses, but it was not a big problem. ”

Commander-in-Chief Deng saw that another person had already spoken, and also said: "This time, the bandits have caused losses to the local areas of Guangde and Langxi under the rule of Xuancheng. But fortunately, there was an arms dealer in the Langxi area, who was willing to support us, so our strength did not drop significantly, on the contrary, after the spring ploughing, we could increase our troops and pull up one or two divisions again. ”

"Oh? One or two divisions have a lot of equipment, huh? The Overseer sitting in the hall was astonished, two divisions were a lot of money!

"Yes, a total of 200 Machenk, 300 submachine guns, 20,000 rifles, and attached ammunition. At present, it is basically in place, and about three months ago, 20,000 Mauser pistols were ordered from him, and all of them have been in place. Commander-in-Chief Deng replied.

"And 300 submachine guns?!" This surprised the Overseers in the hall even more. This gun is a sample gun that I got myself, and then asked the commanders everywhere to find someone who can imitate it, but I didn't expect it to be landed here.

"Then you also spent a lot of money, right? There will be no impact on military spending at that time, right? The Overseer thought of another question, so many weapons were probably enough to make the two impoverished men in front of him pants.

"That's not true, this force also supports us, so they proposed that only one-fifth of the total price of the goods should be paid in the ocean, and the rest should be settled in timber, grain, and ore." Commander-in-Chief Deng respectfully replied that the most powerful and influential Anhui in the Jiangnan area is now the overseer in the hall.

"What a strange request, then they have no strings attached, garrison? Mining rights? Railroad rights? The Overseer had some more questions.

"Lord Qi Overseer, this force should belong to the overseas faction of our Huaxia people." Commander-in-Chief Deng continued.

"We're Chinese?" Now it's the Overseer's turn to ponder.

Warlords everywhere have arsenals, but few of them can make it. The armaments of this foreign country are sent when the time is tight, and after the dispute between Anhui and Anhui, the direct backstage Britain and the United States are very tightly stuck! Is it the country to the east? When did such a powerful force emerge overseas? Two divisions in three months, not eight divisions in that year, obediently, what kind of development can their own strength be.

"Their people are still in Langxi?" The Overseer quickly figured out the crux of the matter, and the delegates sent by the group must be optimistic, as if they were to be robbed by any warlord, the losses would be great.

"Here, the lowly has been sent to watch." Commander-in-Chief Deng has long realized that if such a large source of arms is lost, the life of the Anhui system will be even more difficult.

In less than an hour, Zhao Yun rushed back to the outside of Zhou Village, and Shao Lao Er was already waiting here.

"Inform the county police and let them take a look." Zhao Yun didn't even have the heart to look at the scene, as long as he came back, he could deal with it.

As a result, Zhao Yun, who was having lunch in the village, did not wait for the police, but waited for Wang Yougui. This eldest young master has now become Zhao Yun's special communicator, running around and running his legs thin.

"Hey, brother! Today there is a big man in the county, and the godfather said that he wants to see you, and you will have a chance to give me a few good words later! Wang Yougui said in a low voice.

"Big shots? Bigger than your godfather's officials? Zhao Yun didn't understand.

"Let's go, let's go, we'll know!" Wang Yougui directly began to pull people. Zhao Yun is afraid of seeing Wang Yougui when he eats now, and when this guy comes, he always forcibly pulls people.

It's still in the county office, and it's still the side hall where I met with Commander Deng last time.

However, last time Zhao Yun had to face one, this time it was three.

"The younger generation has seen Commander Deng and two adults." No matter what they are wearing, I can't guess their identities.

"This is the Zhejiang Overseer, Lord Lu!" Old man Deng still attaches great importance to Zhao Yun, the little guy who worships his godson, and immediately introduced the audience to Zhao Yun, "This is the commander-in-chief of Wuhu, Lord Duan!" ”

introduced the two big shots, and only then did Zhao Yun have the opportunity to sit down.

Zhao Yun doesn't know now, what are these two looking for themselves? It is estimated that it will not be possible to get rid of the arms matter.

Sure enough, the soldier is straight, straight to the point, and asks about arms.

"The juniors can only say now that they provide you with enough arms and ammunition now, if there are too many guns, I am afraid that the juniors' ammunition will not be able to keep up." Zhao Yun can only talk about ammunition now, I want to help you, but it's not your arsenal either! How much do you want? Although a single job can greatly improve one's strength, it feels bad to be stared at all day. And the bigger you do, the less secure you are. Don't you see, how many bigwigs in the Republic of China died in assassination!

"Huh? This is indeed a problem, but the coast of Zhejiang is not peaceful now, and bandits are constantly prohibited, and if it weren't for these reasons, this overseer would have hit Nanjing long ago. "That Lu Overseer also has a headache with the ordnance problem.

"The Overseers want to fight Nanjing?" Zhao Yun was quite surprised, looking at the appearance of this overseer did not seem to be casually talking.

"Of course, but you have to defend Shanghai! If the mouth of the Yangtze River is not held, the warships of the great powers can sail into the Yangtze River at any time and threaten the troops attacking Nanjing. "Makes sense! It's true that the warlords are fighting now, but the powers outside are not resting! The First World War is over, which means that the Great Powers have enough energy to move to Asia.

Zhao Yun still has the heart to resist the great powers, not to mention whether Zhao Yun is an angry youth, but when he sees foreigners bullying the Chinese, Zhao Yun can't help it. This is Zhao Yun's bottom line. I'm not here to fight for hegemony, but I'm not here to see Chinese people being bullied by others!

Help, this favor is done!

"I don't know, what does the Overseer need? The younger generation will see if they can get some good things through the relationship between the Guò family. "Zhao Yun doesn't like warlords, but the current situation is that he has to deal with them.

"Warships, artillery, airplanes." Lu Dujun spoke.

When Zhao Yun heard such an answer, he almost fell, it was really the third thing! "We've got to figure out how to do this." Zhao Yun knew that although he didn't have these things for the time being, he must have them in the future. These are the three elements of becoming a powerful warlord!
