At six o'clock in the morning of July 11, the fleet arrived at the Chaozhou wharf.

During the war, the Chaozhou wharf was much more deserted than usual, which also saved Xie Niancheng's fleet a lot of trouble.

The process of landing was very smooth, and in front of the fierce-looking and fully armed army, the staff of the dock ran clean.

The officers and men of the 3rd Battalion, who had changed into rifles and submachine guns, quickly lined up on the wharf and, under the leadership of a few guides selected from among the bandits, went straight to the Chaozhou Military Government.

The bandits also changed into the military uniforms of the Xie Jiajun, divided into dozens of large and small units, and separately controlled the armory, granary, and traffic points in Chaozhou City, running all the way and shouting: "The Chinese Revolutionary Army has entered the city, stay in the house, don't come out, don't go out on the street!" ”

As the bandits advanced rapidly, gunshots rang out sporadically in the streets, and it was the bandits who were shooting the first bird.

Xie Niancheng led people all the way smoothly, whether it was the police or the nursing homes of large families, no one dared to come out to fight against the murderous hundreds of soldiers.

Xie Niancheng sent Zhang Chengyue and Xu Geng to each bring dozens of soldiers to find someone in the compound, while he stayed in the small square outside to wait.

Not long after, Zhang Chengyue walked towards Xie Niancheng with a middle-aged man in a robe.

Zhang Chengyue introduced: "The battalion commander, he is Cao Xing, the mayor of the Chaozhou Military Government. ”

This Cao Xing was pulled up by the soldiers from the bed of the concubine, and when he saw this group of murderous soldiers, he felt a little panicked.

Xie Niancheng said: "Mayor Cao, our Chinese Revolutionary Army is strictly disciplined, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, it is easy to say." ”

Cao Xing gave his hand again and again: "If the chief wants to do what he wants to do, he will do it...... Please, please. ”

"You have to find a way to find me all the big merchants and big landlords in Chaozhou City, and go to the city government for a meeting at 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

Cao Xing understood that there was no reason to talk about being a soldier, so he nodded again and again.

"Chengyue, you take some people and follow Mayor Cao, if you don't cooperate, you will be killed on the spot."

"Yes!"

Zhang Chengyue waved his hand and led dozens of people to push Cao Xing.

Xie Niancheng led people to wait for news from all parties.

At about nine o'clock, news came back from everywhere.

Neither in the armory nor in the granary, there was no large-scale resistance, and the few who did not have eyes were killed on the spot by the pirates.

When Xie Niancheng was on the ship, he had already made an agreement with the pirates to fight Chaozhou, and give the pirates fifty yuan per person for their hard work, and after the defeat, they were not allowed to burn, kill and loot in the city, but the armory and granaries in Chaozhou belonged to the pirates from all walks of life.

The convoy would not be able to reach the dock until the afternoon, so the pirates were not in a hurry to move things now, and they seemed to be honest, and they all acted according to Xie Niancheng's orders.

Xie Niancheng saw that the shape of the city had stabilized, so he left a team of people on the government's side, and led a large group of people to Chen Tongming's house, Chen Tongming's mansion was in the west of Chaozhou City, occupying half a street.

Seeing that the gate of Chen's mansion was closed, Huang Shi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door didn't open, and someone inside asked, "Who?" ”

Huang Shi replied: "Chinese Revolutionary Army, open the door quickly!" ”

The people inside obviously knew that a calamity was inevitable, and the cries rang out.

"Hurry, hurry." Huang Shi urged.

The door creaked open, and two elderly men came out.

Huang Shi took the two of them to Xie Niancheng's side, took off the hat for the man wearing a top hat, bowed and said: "Sir, old Chen Xiting, I don't know that the chief is coming, and there is a loss of welcome, and there is a loss of welcome." ”

A Cantonese soldier next to him came over and whispered: "Battalion commander, he is Chen Tongming's father." ”

Xie Niancheng still has a lot to do, so he didn't go around in circles with him, and spoke directly: "Our Chinese Revolutionary Army fought with your son's troops, and suffered great losses...... I don't talk nonsense, you go in now, and give me all the gold bars, silver dollars, and bank deposit receipts at home, and I don't want any antiques and cultural relics. ”

"Give you thirty minutes, and after thirty minutes, if you don't satisfy me with the amount you take, I will wash the Chen Mansion in blood, and the chickens and dogs will not be left...... If I am satisfied with the number, our Chinese Revolutionary Army will not set foot in your Chen Mansion by half a step! ”

After listening to Xie Niancheng's words, Chen Xiting's face remained unchanged, and he arched his hand: "The chief is really refreshing, I don't know which way the chief is?" ”

The tone was flat, and there was no half of anger.

Xie Niancheng smiled indifferently: "My name is Xie Niancheng, go quickly, I hope that after thirty minutes, Chen Lao Mo will disappoint me and my brothers." ”

Chen Xiting flicked his sleeves and returned to the Chen Mansion with the person who looked like a housekeeper beside him.

Xie Niancheng turned his head to Xu Geng, Peng De and Su Huaiyu and said, "If you see it, just go to the homes of those officers to raise money!" ”

"How much is it to be satisfied?"

"See for yourself!"

Xie Niancheng gave an ambiguous reply.

In less than ten minutes, the housekeeper of the Chen family came out and handed Xie Niancheng a slip.

Xie Niancheng looked at it, and the list wrote the following contents: "Eighty-eight catties of gold, 190,000 yuan of cash, 840,000 deposits of Hanguo Bank, and one hundred and twenty pieces of gold jewelry and jade." ”

Taking out a pen from his arms, Xie Niancheng ticked off one hundred and twenty pieces of gold jewelry and jade, "Okay, just the front, move out within ten minutes, I promise not to step into your Chen family for half a step." ”

The butler arched his hand and went in.

The Chen family's work efficiency was extremely high, and in less than 20 minutes, more than a dozen carts full of boxes were pulled out of the gate of the Chen family

A soldier here casually opened a few boxes and looked at them, and they were all filled with white flowers.

Chen Xiting personally handed over the deposit receipt of Hanguo Bank to Xie Niancheng.

After taking so much money, Xie Niancheng was in a good mood: "Old man, please come back slowly." ”

No matter what Chen Xiting thinks, Xie Niancheng is happy.

When Chen Xiting returned home, a group of women were crying.

"Master, half of the family property is gone this time, can't you give less?" The original wife complained.

Chen Tongming's eldest wife gritted her teeth, "Sue sù Tongming, let him break that Xie Niancheng's corpse into ten thousand pieces!" ”

"Master, you shouldn't give so much, I don't believe that the person surnamed Xie really dares to touch our Chen family!" Chen Xiting's favorite aunt on weekdays said loudly.

"Shut up!"

Chen Xiting, who was holding back the fire in his belly, broke out: "Do you know who the surname Xie is?" The other day in Tamsui, he killed more than 10,000 people...... Now that his troops have occupied the entire Chaozhou City, what else does he dare not move? Believe it or not, I'll load you into the car and push you out together, and let him sell you in the kiln, worth hundreds of oceans! ”

After scolding the aunt, thinking that the Chen family had been entrenched in Chaozhou for generations and had accumulated cash for several lifetimes, and half of it was gone today, Chen Xiting's heart ached, and she sat down, and the women hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and no one dared to mention the matter of money again.

Xie Niancheng asked the guards to copy a few copies of the Chen family's list, gave Xu Geng a few for reference, and returned to the city government by himself.

Xu Geng's reports kept coming, only one division commander's house refused to open the door, Peng De, who was wounded in two places, led people to break in and killed a few people, and the other 30 or so senior officers honestly gave a figure that "the revolutionary army can accept".

In the end, the families of these more than 30 high-ranking officers gave the Chinese Revolutionary Army a total of 84 catties of gold, 360,000 oceans, and 1.7 million certificates of deposit.

This Cao Xing is very familiar with Chaozhou, and with his efforts, a total of more than 40 people came at noon.

Xie Niancheng asked coldly after seeing Cao Xing: "Mayor Cao, are you all here?" ”

"It's all here, it's all here, and if the boss is not there, they all call the shopkeeper in charge."

Xie Niancheng nodded and walked up to the group of bosses: "Bosses, our Chinese Revolutionary Army is a revolutionary team that fights for the interests of the people of the whole country...... We marched all the way east to this place in order to overthrow the rule of the reactionary warlord Chen Tongming, and along the way, the cost was very high, and it was not easy for the officers and men! ”

Speaking of this, Xie Niancheng stopped talking.

Xie Niancheng said this, and the person on the other side naturally understood what it meant.

"Sir Xie, the revolutionary army can spare their lives for the sake of our people, although my generation is a businessman, I can understand the righteousness, we want to work for the army!"

"Yes, yes, we want to work hard."

In the face of everyone's "enthusiasm", Xie Niancheng said ashamedly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, if it weren't for the revolutionary form, if it weren't for the shortage of military supplies, Xie would really be difficult to open this mouth." ”

"It's hard to talk about it, and you're calling us here to your ass!" The boss and the shopkeepers have already this smiling "Chief Xie" and his family dozens of times in their hearts, and they can only continue to be enthusiastic:

"Chief Xie is too polite."

"The Chinese Revolutionary Army saved the people from fire and water, and it is natural for us to contribute some money."

……

Xie Niancheng saw that the heat was almost over, and arched his hand and said:

"Everyone, thank you on behalf of the whole army, in this way, please raise 200,000 yuan for our army, and then help our army carry the grain from the armory and granary in the city to the dock for loading, how about it?"

The boss and the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, this Chief Xie has a small appetite, there are more than forty of them, each family can send 5,000 oceans, as for asking someone to help transport arms and food, it is not a matter.

The crowd began a new round of praise:

"Chief Xie is strict in military discipline and admires and admires."

"The revolutionary army is really the army of kings, and there is no offense with Minqiu wherever it goes."

These words are somewhat sincere, you know, if the city is captured by the warlord army, the people in the city will shed their skin if they don't die!

The bosses and the shopkeepers went their separate ways, and soon organized more than 2,000 people to help carry them, and before the sun set, more than 100 tons of weapons and ammunition and more than 3,000 tons of grain were moved to the transport ship at the wharf.

Looking at the bandit leader who was about to drool, Xie Niancheng was generous and gave half of the ocean, ammunition and food to the bandits, which naturally raised the prestige of the "red-haired witch" by a few notches in the hearts of the bandits.

And the prestige of "Chief Xie" will always be engraved in the hearts of the bandits.

As for the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, together with the lightly and seriously wounded who are recuperating in Guangzhou, they will receive a "special allowance" of 50 oceans in their military salaries next month.

Xie Niancheng is not worried about the bad consequences of what he did today: Chen Tongming's troops are about to disappear, and who else will ask for explanations for their family wealth?
