Wu Ming listened to the news broadcast of the Central News Agency on the radio at 8 o'clock in the evening before he realized that four days earlier, the protracted negotiations between the central negotiating group and the deputies from the two Guangxi and Guangxi had completely broken down, and that the members of the central negotiating group had left Guangzhou en masse three days earlier to return to Nanjing, and that Kang Ze pinned his hopes on the central negotiating group for the repatriation of the prisoners was completely wishful thinking, otherwise it would be a foolish plan to delay the army.

After taking a bath, Wu Ming immediately called the chief of staff, Zhang Dongning, and the two walked together in front of the Taoist temple, each with a cigarette on his mouth, and while swallowing clouds and spitting fog, he whispered a plot on how to squeeze more oil and water out of the two Cantonese merchants.

Zhang Dongning told Wu Ming the news he had obtained before dinner: "The families of the two businessmen came to the city in the afternoon and are looking for connections everywhere to save people...... I heard that many of the officers in this group of captives were born in famous families in Guangdong, and it is estimated that their families will also come to the rescue one after another. ”

Wu Ming immediately stopped, thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Dongning, you said that if a captive soldier sells ten oceans, the company platoon commander sells one hundred oceans, the battalion commander sells one thousand oceans, the regiment commander sells ten thousand oceans, the brigade commander sells fifty thousand oceans, and the division commander sells one hundred thousand oceans, will it be sold out?" ”

Zhang Dongning was dumbfounded: "This, this...... Can a captive be sold for money? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the top? ”

"Investigate what a fart, Kang Ze's grandson said that he would contact Ganzhou tonight to get some military rations or something, but the Jiangxi security forces in Ganzhou pushed the matter on the governor Xiong Shihui, Kang Ze didn't have a bullshit solution, and he ran to the city to gather the squires to raise donations without eating dinner, even if he finally put pressure on Chairman Jiang, it would take at least ten days and half a month to solve the problem, how can Lao Tzu raise more than 6,000 prisoners for nothing?"

"In my opinion, it's better to write a letter directly to the Second Independent Division of the Guangdong Army on the opposite side, telling them that we have no money to support their captives, and let them send food and daily necessities, otherwise Lao Tzu will let their captives build roads and bridges or something, and earn money to support themselves." Wu Ming said viciously.

"Just kidding, huh? Big brother, how dare you? Zhang Dongning slowly came back to his senses.

Wu Ming smiled: "In this world, what is there that you dare not do?" Does Lao Tzu want to squeeze out the pitiful rations of his brothers and give them to others? Don't think that there is never anything in the world that you don't get for nothing, even when it comes to heaven, no one dares to do anything to Lao Tzu.

Zhang Dongning asked worriedly: "What if the Guangdong army doesn't agree?" ”

Wu Ming thought for a while: "In this way, tomorrow two people will be randomly selected from the seven accomplices, and then their charges will be announced, and the charges will be written as gathering a crowd to rebel, stealing military secrets, using force to plot rebellion, and attempting to overthrow the leadership of the central government.

Zhang Dongning was stunned for a while, then asked with wide eyes, "Really?" ”

"During the war, the regiment commander had the right to execute the spies, not to mention the conclusive evidence of the crimes of several prisoners, which can be described as an iron case, and Lao Tzu is now a well-known major general and division commander, so it is strange to shoot a few spies who stole military information and tried to frame and kill us

"As soon as the shots go off, a lot of people should understand that we don't have much patience to bargain with them." Wu Ming was afraid that he would have a long night and many dreams, so he had to speed up the speed of accumulating money.

"Okay, I'll arrange it when I go back"

Zhang Dongning agreed, and suddenly remembered something: "I almost forgot something, the convoy will send ammunition supplies tomorrow morning, do you think you will pull the captured eight mountain guns back along the car?" ”

Wu Ming thought about it for a long time and shook his head: "Let's keep the mountain artillery for the time being, and quietly pull back all the captured Czech rifles and light and heavy machine guns first...... In addition, try to extort another sum from those two Cantonese businessmen, and pull it back together with the previous cash, so that the convoy can wait for an extra day, but you can't keep so much cash around. ”

Zhang Dongning immediately came to his senses: "What a force, Chen Jitang is really rich, all the Czechs under his command, an artillery company has eight guns, and the artillery company of the main division of our Central Army only has four to six guns, and the eight guns captured are at least eighty percent new, it's a pity to stay."

Wu Ming immediately reminded: "Don't be too greedy, just stop in moderation, the artillery is too heavy and conspicuous, don't do it, when I go back, I will find a way to get ten or eight of the best field artillery back...... To be honest, mountain artillery has little effect on us, and many times it is not as good as the Bayi mortar. ”

Zhang Dongning thought about it: "Or, how about putting some pressure on the second division of the Guangdong Army in the south in the past two days?" Don't annoy them, I'm afraid they'll be indifferent. ”

Wu Ming immediately agreed: "I think so too, and I can't let the brothers relax too much, I'll say hello to Kui Yuan when I go back, you are ready to 10,000 oceans, I want to tease Kui Yuan's guys, and also come to a clear price, catch an enemy soldier and reward five oceans, catch a platoon commander award ten oceans, company commander thirty, battalion commander fifty, it is estimated that they will have motivation, and their hands and feet will be much sharper." ”

Zhang Dongning smiled and said: "Okay, I have made a lot of money this time, and Dayang has ...... I'll send the money to your room when I go back, and you tell Kui Yuan yourself, Ha Luha, I'll go into the city and prepare, and see how the notice is written is more convincing...... Mother Xipi, I have to work hard for a while......

As soon as Zhang Dongning left, Sun Chengyuan slipped out of the darkness under the shade of the tree and said with a hippie smile: "Big brother, can you give me a few days off?" ”

Wu Ming immediately guessed what Cheng Yuan wanted, glared at him and said, "You kid want to arrest people and make money, right?" You used to be a monk, why do you want so much money? Even if it's too early to marry a daughter-in-law, right? Are you going to be a father at the age of seventeen or eighteen? That's too disproportionate."

"I didn't say it"

Sun Chengyuan surrendered immediately, and ran back to the hall without looking back, he was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that after making a mistake, he would face Wu Ming's scathing mouth, saying that Wu Ming still had to hold his stomach, and he had no place to reason with his stomach full of grievances, which was really fucking uncomfortable

Zhang Dongning's actions were very fast, and the next morning he plastered notices about the public execution of the two heinous conspiracy rebels all over the main streets of the city, causing the local people, who had not seen anyone shot for a long time, to rejoice and rush to tell each other, and also frightened the families who had come to rescue the prisoners.

Kang Ze, who was struggling to deal with Chinese and foreign reporters and was busy with the prisoners' food, clothing, housing, and transportation, was so busy in the past two days that he just casually asked Zhang Dongning a few words after seeing the bulletin and ignored it. After the five encirclement and suppression, Kang Ze led the Beilu Movement into the Soviet area and killed many people, and it can be said that he was an executioner whose hands were stained with the blood of countless revolutionary masses, so Wu Ming's killing of a few spies with conclusive evidence was ordinary and almost negligible for Kang Ze.

The solemn scene of 10,000 people watching the execution in the afternoon soon had an immediate effect, and the families of two Guangdong businessmen who were doing big business while spying on intelligence for the Cantonese army quickly met Zhang Dongning, who had been prepared for a long time, by bribing the county magistrate, and a fierce bargaining began.
