"Woo~"

In the bleak river breeze, the sound of the strong whistle is melodious, echoing by the riverside.

After the military disaster, the city of Yangzhou was still depressed, with 400,000 people affected and nearly half of the city burned, which greatly damaged the vitality of this former Yangtze River town. The disaster relief work is still proceeding in an orderly manner, with rice and grain from Nanjing, tents and winter clothes from Wuhu, being transported in a steady stream. Coupled with the funding of local gentry and wealthy families in Yangzhou, it should not be a problem for 400,000 victims to survive this winter.

Outside the Yamen, the silver water flowing freely outside the Yamen was quickly collected, loaded onto a marriage theory, and sailed to Wuhu at full speed under the strict protection of the naval vessels. Those who were heavily surrounded were escorted into the minting notes and re-purified and minted. After going back and forth to remove the slag consumed by fire and discarded, it is not good that nine million taels of silver can be minted into six million taels! Thinking of losing nearly three million taels of silver in vain, Hu Dashuai trembled in distress. But looking at the group of fat people on the dock who were crying and sad until what time, Hu Rui was inexplicably relieved.

Yangzhou has always been the base camp of salt merchants, and this time it was the opportunity to quell the chaos and wipe out all the large and small salt merchants in the city in one fell swoop! For these selfish guys who lure wolves into the house, Hu Rui is not merciless in dealing with them! Half of the family property was confiscated, and the whole family moved to Wuhu to live, if there was resistance...... Hmph, the liliang of the masses of the people is endless! It's great! Just look at the appearance of the criticism conference during the ten years of turmoil in the rabbit family in later generations! Public trial?! That's even more terrifying than a direct shooting! The shooting is so good that it will give you a good time!

Money or death? This common phrase used by heroes in the rivers and lakes when they block the road and rob is used by Hu Dashuai to the fullest! Under the coercion of the bayonets of the 2nd Mixed Brigade, in the face of the public trial and half of the family property, the salt merchants have always chosen the latter! If the money is gone, how can you make any more money, and if the people are gone, there will be nothing! Besides, half of the family property. Even if you eat and wait for death, it's enough to live the rest of your life freely! So, in the cry of the old and young family, the salt merchants, large and small, with their small and soft stomachs, wiped their tears under the protection of the bayonets of the 2nd Mixed Brigade and got on the steamer bound for Wuhu.

'Lao Hu, you have both fame and fortune on this trip to Yangzhou! Not only did he get more than six million taels of silver, but he also had the reputation of a living Bodhisattva. Well, the living bodhisattva who saves the suffering is above. Sanniang is polite~'

On the deck, Sanniang followed Hu Rui's gaze, glanced at the salt merchant who looked like a mourner, and laughed.

"Eh, it's a pity that baibai lost more than three million taels! The silver was filled with innocent blood. Take your hot hands and make the most of them. Spend it as soon as possible! It's windy. Don't freeze~"

Hu Rui shook his head with a wry smile, took off his regular coat, and couldn't help but put it on Sanniang's body. The wide regular windbreaker, with the warmth of Hu Rui's deep mountains, wrapped Sanniang tightly. Yan Nuxia is worthy of being the head of the Swallow Gang, and rubbed her hands. Accepted it calmly.

In the history books of later generations, there is such a conclusion about the development of capitalism and the process of capital accumulation: the accumulation of capital is always full of blood! After experiencing it himself, Hu Rui's understanding of this sentence became more and more profound. More than six million taels of silver. Every tael and every money are stained with the blood of the innocent people in Yangzhou, and they are still carrying the smoke of the fire, this money is hot!

However, the current situation is becoming more and more complicated, with the defeat of Wuchang step by step, the Anhui Revolutionary Army and the Beiyang Group in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are already imminent! A new round of reorganization of the Anhui Revolutionary Army is also about to come out! Training troops and purchasing arms are all expensive transactions. In the face of the cruel reality, Hu Rui has no right to pretend to be a saint at all. Of the more than 6 million taels of tax silver, except for the 2 million taels allocated for the relief of the victims, the rest was all smashed into the upcoming new round of procurement. As for the name of the "living bodhisattva", Hu Rui naturally accepted it disrespectfully. As a traverser, no one knows better than him how convenient a haode reputation will bring in this China! (For example, Huang Xing.) In history, Huang Xing's military command level and the chairman of the committee had a fight, and it was simply a death pit! The Battle of Wuchang is the most haode example. However, Huang Xing's prestige was extremely high, so in the later Nanjing Provisional Government, Huang Xing still occupied the throne of the vice minister of the army. ）

"Of the six million taels of silver, two million taels were used for relief to the victims. The rest of the silver is no problem if it is just to expand the army, but if you also estimate the navy and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, this money is a drop in the bucket! Lao Hu, guess how much did those guys who lured the wolf into the house 'donate'? ”

After thinking about it, he was too devoted, and Hu Dashuai completely entered a state of selflessness. Yan Nuxia next to her looked at Hu Dashuai, who was silent in a daze, thinking that she was still sad for the people who were dying, so she quickly changed the topic. Raised an eyebrow and turned the conversation to the upcoming procurement.

"Well, how much? Anyway, you have always been in charge of the house, my housekeeper, don't you explain it in an old-fashioned way? ”

As a traverser, Hu Rui is definitely a demonic existence in this spoof out of control. When Yan Nuxia, who is used to fighting and killing, is facing the demonic Hu Dashuai. The clumsy performance of forcibly changing the topic immediately went into the way. Feeling the concern of the beautiful woman (a modifier for a good girl) around him, Hu Rui smiled with relief and fought back without showing weakness. As he spoke, his hand wrapped around Sanniang's slender waist without a trace. With a hard pull, Yan Nuxia fell directly into a warm, sturdy embrace.

"Not counting antiques, calligraphy and paintings, tobacco and real estate, there are more than 30 million taels of cash, bills of exchange, gold and silver alone! And that's not all, the follow-up is still being counted! ”

Recruited by the sudden attack, Yan Nuxia's body instinctively stiffened, felt the warmth and familiar breath behind her, and slowly softened. struggled slightly, and then slowly leaned into the warm embrace. He closed his eyes, rubbed his bloodshot face, and replied with a little pride and trembling. Regarding the words "housekeeper's wife" in Hu Rui's words, Yan Nuxia blushed and selectively ignored them.

"Po~"

"My little Sanniang is really capable~ Reward! Well, the small coffers are quite abundant again. My housekeeper is going to take care of it! ”

Maybe it's temporary, maybe it's uncontrollable. Hu Dashuai, who came from later generations, pecked Sanniang's smooth forehead shallowly. tightened the beauty in his arms, lowered his head, grinded his ears and temples a few times, and teased nakedly.

"Hmm~"

Yan Nuxia, who does not change her face and is calm and calm in the wind and waves, will be at a loss like a child, and her shy and uneasy appearance is particularly attractive.

Women in this era were still very conservative, and the women's liberation movement was still in its infancy. Three from four virtues. Marriage, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, etc., are still very marketable. For these small actions, which have become commonplace in later generations, there is no resistance at all. His face was flushed and hot, his eyes were closed, and he didn't know how to respond. The slender eyelashes flickered like butterflies about to fly.

Look at the fading disguise. Yan Woman, who exudes the nature of a little woman. Hu Dashuai licked his lips and smiled evilly. His eyes wandered and stared at the cherry lips on both sides like good red jade, and took advantage of the moment when the one in his arms was cowering and passively leaning into his arms, not knowing how to deal with it, he bent down, raised his lips and slowly leaned up.

Distance ten centimeters......

Waterfall hair, faintly smelling between someone's hair. A light fragrance.

Distance of five centimeters......

Under the keen senses, the sound of someone's flustered breathing is in the ears.

Distance of one centimeter......

The hot breath exhaled by Hu Dashuai sprayed directly on Sanniang's face, itchy. Someone's body fragrance. caused Hu Dashuai's evil thoughts to be even worse.

The lips intersected, and the tender, supple touch made the shy Yan Nuxia wake up suddenly! Feeling the hot temperature on his lips, the breathing sound of the male stroke made people blush, and the hot breath exhaled directly hit the itchy face. Instinctively, Sanniang tightened her silver teeth and blocked the slippery naughty tongue like a loach outside, preventing it from continuing to go deeper.

Feeling the resistance, the double fighter who was clinging to Sanniang's waist began to use a slight force, caressing Sanniang's delicate back, like comforting the frightened kitten. With a two-pronged approach, under the fierce offensive, Yan Nuxia gradually became confused......

Who makes who not know what day is?

On the occasion of you and me, at the moment when the sparks were shining, Hu Dashuai, as the main east, led by example, emptied everything, and kissed passionately. Even if it is the vaccine shijie is extinguished, it is good to hug you, so haode enjoy this second......

"Chief Instructor, all the first batch of all salt merchants have boarded the ship! Brother of the Water Master......"

It's good to die, at this moment of forgetfulness, Wang Tianda's rough voice sounded behind him at an inopportune time.

"Say!"

Hu Dashuai, who was interrupted from a good thing, was very unhappy, and the man who wanted to be dissatisfied was just as terrible. A roar of more than 100 decibels made Wang Tianda, who had accidentally spoiled a good thing, stunned, and was stuck there like a pestle, messy in the river breeze.

"Hmm~"

As a victim, Yan Nuxia was almost embarrassed with shame, her cheeks were bloodshot, and she buried her head in Hu Rui's arms in shame. Then he often wore the cover of his coat and became an ostrich.

"Report, report to the chief instructor...... The first batch of salt merchants, totaling more than 400 people, had already boarded the ship, and the sailor's brother came to ask if he needed an escort and whether he would leave the ship now. ”

Looking at the two officials who were "caught and raped in bed", Wang Tianda's intestines were all repentant, and he reported with a sad face.

"No, you don't! How far can this be from Wuhu?! Are they gold or silver?! Isn't it worth money to buy the coal burned by the navy?! All of them are full of food?! This kind of idiocy can't solve the problem, what do you want you to do......"

Hu Dashuai, who was disturbed by the good things, turned his grief and anger into liliang, and the aura of the king and the overlord around him was fully opened, gritting his teeth and pointing at the culprit Wang Tianda, and said angrily.

When Wang Tianda, who was stunned for being scolded, helped the cabin trembling with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Hu Dashuai was finally relieved. He pulled up the one who was holding an ostrich in his arms, and smiled evilly:

"A little episode, it's okay, it's okay~ Xiao Sanniang, let's continue."

Wang Tianda's brain is quite good, and he didn't forget to close the door before leaving. Seeing that there was no one on the deck, it was still early to leave the ship. Hu Dashuai smacked his lips, planning to continue to reminisce. This girl, who had just shrunk into his arms as an ostrich, tickled his heart with the sound of chaotic breathing through his clothes.

"Hmm~"

Yan Nuxia who was forcibly stripped from her arms. Caught off guard, he was kissed again. Well, the astonishing and heroic Yan Nuxia does seem to be very passive and sluggish in some aspects. Heaven is always fair, and there will always be a little regret in any perfect food. Well, the ancients did not deceive me.

Under the active guidance of Hu Dashuai, the first taste of Yan Nuxia gradually let go. Trapped in Hu Rui's arms, he responded clumsily and forgetfully......

"Bang Dang"

With a bang, the big guy rushed up!

"Dashuai, the front guard gunboat is coming, Xu Shaozhen, the governor of Nanjing. Come and meet the handsome! ”

"Forehead ......"

After shouting, the big guy who always reacts one beat slower than others finally realized that something was wrong.

“……”

“……”

After being silent for a moment, Sanniang couldn't stand it anymore, leaving aside Hu Dashuai, who had a blue face and a twitching face. Covering his face and running away.

"Total, total...... Chief Instructor, you ......"

The big guy who finally reacted. The face suddenly became a monkey's ass. Stammered.

"I, dear, self, go, welcome!"

Hu Rui paused word by word, gritted his teeth and said. The moment he turned around, he silently cried lasagna - did you mean it?! Is it easy for labor and management to make a girl......

"Brother Xiaolian, my brother is here to make amends!"

Hu Rui tidied up his military uniform, collected his emotions, and sat in a steam boat to meet him. From a distance, I saw Xu Shaozhen standing at the bow of the boat. Arched his hand and greeted loudly.

"Come, where do you start with Big Brother? You and my brother have not had a chance to meet since Zhenjiang parted. The younger brother is thinking about it tightly, how can he make amends? ”

The two dinghys helped, and Hu Rui personally stepped forward to take a hand and welcomed Xu Shaozhen to the boat.

"Xiaolian came to greet him in person, and the old brother really didn't want to go~ Eh, what is the old brother's current situation that was not given by your brother?! The matter of the Fourth Division before was that the elder brother couldn't live with his brother, and now the Nanjing Provisional Government ...... Oh, don't mention it! ”

Xu Shaozhen is a kind-hearted person, and when she saw Hu Rui personally greeting her, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Infighting has always been a major feature of the Alliance, and people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants! Such a kind and kind person, if it weren't for the two newly formed two divisions of the Jiangsu People's Army, I am afraid that he would have been squeezed out of the position of governor long ago!

"I pinched something at the time, and my brother's words were too outrageous! Between our brothers, do you still care about this little thing?! Big brother, don't say it, I understand! It was my soldiers who didn't leave in Nanjing, which made some people uncomfortable, for fear that I would rob them of the meat in their bowls! ”

Hu Rui patted Xu Shaozhen's shoulder affectionately and comforted. When they met, they saw that Xu Shaozhen only brought Lin Huaichuan and other henchmen and guards to come, and immediately understood seven or eight points in his heart. This good old man Xu Shaozhen seems to be on the side of the Alliance, and he is not very happy. It's a pity that he is also a doer, and he saved the little money in the ninth town.

"Eh, after all, it's the big brother who can't live with the brother!"

Xu Shaozhen is also the number one person, and he has long been aware of everything that happened inside the Nanjing Provisional Government. When the Confederacy had made it difficult for the Fourth Division to defend Nanjing several times, he strongly opposed it on the spot! Nanjing was defeated by others, and the two existing divisions of the Nanjing Provisional Government, as well as the equipment and most of the personnel, were also given by others! It is reasonable to do this! People are just assisting in the defense of Nanjing, and they will withdraw when the two divisions of the Jiangsu People's Army are formed, as for being so impatient?!

It's a pity that the guys in the League were confused by the lard paper, and no one took him seriously. It's still my own way, if it weren't for the two divisions in my hands, the position of the air overlord would not be able to keep it!

"Don't say anything, in this world, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden! Before Yangzhou was in an emergency, he had to call the troops of Pukou nearby, and the garrison of Dangtu was just in case. The old brother came forward, this face brother must be given! Not to mention anything else, this ordered the troops to withdraw back to the building! Big brother, in the future, whenever there is a disappointment, remember the brother. Brothers are waiting for the arrival of Big Brother at any time in Wuhu! ”

Hu Rui patted his chest and said with relief, Xu Shaozhen's kindness is also worth a friendship.

"Filial piety...... Eh, don't mention it, when my brother owes my brother too much...... This is the one who made it up before leaving, a total of one million, and said that it was the brother of the Anhui army. Hmph, I knew why I had to do it in the first place! ”

Before he could speak, Hu Rui took the initiative to withdraw his troops and expressed his goodwill. This made Xu Shaozhen very unhappy, he was a brother after worshipping his son, this brother is really incompetent! Under the slur, mixed feelings. Comparing the two heads, they are becoming more and more disappointed with the cadres of the Alliance.

Ashamed, Xu Shaozhen was not verbose, and directly took out the bill of exchange of one million yuan that Nanjing had collected before leaving. These guys from the Alliance have no other skills, and their ability to fight for power and profit and scrape the ground is not bad! Eating xiangshang again is even more ugly than those officials in the former Qing Dynasty!

Originally, there were many monks and little porridge, and they had always only entered and could not leave. But Dangtu, which is across the water from Nanjing, was stationed with an infantry regiment and a reinforced heavy artillery regiment of five battalions, and the muzzle of the guns was directly aimed at the city of Nanjing! This is not the end, the thirteen ships of the Navy's river defense detachment that rebelled at the Xiaguan Wharf before, plus the river defense gunboat team, more than 20 ships of all sizes are murderously assembled on the Pukou generation river! A mixed brigade originally stationed in Pukou also entered a state of imminent battle, and Zuihou directly sent troops to occupy the railway station!

Now the cadres of the sub-alliance are panicking, this finally has a place to settle down quickly, and it hasn't been covered with heat, how can it be good if it is robbed again?! Anyway, don't think about it, everyone is a proud soldier who won Nanjing, not to mention the help of the navy! Shanghai has just been recovered, Chen Qimei is still fighting with the people of the Restoration Society for the position of Shanghai Governor, and in order to raise arms, Chen Qimei is even bankrupt to raise money, accompanied by a smile to buy arms from Hu Rui.

Zuihou thought about it, so he could only cut the meat and feed it to the wolf, and asked the god to leave. gritted his teeth and scraped together a million yuan, and Xu Shaozhen, the governor of Nanjing, who had been forgotten at this time, was also pulled out. Play the role of a brother and run it yourself.

"Big brother, let's not talk about the situation in Nanjing. In the future, if there is a bite of a brother, there will be a bite of the big brother! In the future, if there is a crime, please ask the elder brother to make a good fate. The brother will return to Shanghai in the near future, and there is still a matter to be solved in Shanghai. The disaster-stricken people in Yangzhou will have to trouble the old brother to take care of it, and filial piety will still return to Anqing. ”

Hu Rui did not shirk it, the procurement of the second phase of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau, plus the expansion of the army, how much money is not enough! The one who sent it to the door naturally smiled. At the same time, he also mentioned Xu Shaozhen very vaguely, saying that he had no intention of peeping into the position of the governor of Yangzhou.

"Xiaolian, I didn't say it! Brother is a person who does great things, everything about the big brother who enters the country is given by filial piety, as long as the big brother is still there, the Jiangsu People's Army will never shoot at the Anhui army! ”

Xu Shaozhen sighed and patted her chest to reassure. (To be continued......)
