Chapter 357: Hands-on (2)

In a certain village outside Zhumadian, the people in the village were looking at the seven or eight white wolves who were eating and drinking in the middle of the road with a little fear.

Almost all of the things in their hands were requisitioned (robbed) from the villagers, but the villagers did not even have the slightest idea of resisting. In terms of strength, there are fifty or sixty people in this village, and there are also some guns or something, if you want to, although these seven or eight people in front of you can't easily clean them up, it's not difficult to solve them all.

The question is...

They are white wolf people, and there are three thousand white wolf rogues stationed in Zhumadian not far away. If the people who killed them can imagine how tragic the white wolf's revenge will be.

So in the case of being forced to be helpless, the villagers can only endure it silently.

But...

"Whew, maybe I've drunk too much wine, I'll go and make it easier..."Putting down a chicken leg in his hand, one of the rogues with his chest open stood up from the ground, patted his belly and said to his companions.

The men didn't care, they just waved their hands. "Go, go..."

Perhaps he was not the only one who had drunk too much, so a young man got up from the ground and followed him to a convenient place.

It's just that when the two of them were drenched in joy, the previous person seemed to see something, and looked outside the village...

"Wait, what's that?"

As if to find something, the man's eyes narrowed. And when he realized what was in the distance, the man's face suddenly changed dramatically.

"Holy!"

Coming from a distance were small groups of cavalry. It's probably just over a hundred rides. Although it is a small share, it is also relatively speaking, which is already a large share for this place with only seven or eight people.

"Let's go. Report the situation to the leader immediately..."Lifting his pants, ignoring the fact that some liquid had wet them, the man turned around and wanted to go back to where he had been. Only he had only taken two steps before he had to stop, because the soldier who came out with him next to him was pointing a pistol at him.

"Wang, what do you mean..."

"It's not interesting...", shaking his head, Lao Wang pointed the muzzle of the gun at his head. Let's just wait a little longer..."

"You want to betray the marshal?" Hearing Lao Wang say this, that person's face changed.

And yet hear his words. Lao Wang smiled bitterly. "I'm not trying to betray my intentions, I'm just ......... I don't want to follow Da Shuai all the way to the dark, Lao Zhang. Listen to my brother's advice, don't do stupid things, it's okay to wait a little longer..."

When Wang Deshun said this, Lao Zhang was silent for a while. The clenched fist also loosened.

Since I know that it is death. So why bother...

After all, he is just an ordinary pawn in the White Wolf Army, there is no need to die for the White Wolf, and the White Wolf Army is not a revolutionary army, just an army of bandits, demobilized soldiers and ordinary peasants...

Such an army is naturally fine when things are going well, but once they are in adversity, it is difficult to expect them to have the slightest loyalty.

Seeing that Lao Zhang seemed to have accepted his fate, Wang Deshun was also happy.

He couldn't bear to do it, in fact, they didn't have any righteousness towards each other, as long as they could exchange it for glory and wealth, what if they betrayed their brother? It's just that the cavalry outside is still some distance away from here. If you shoot now, you will definitely alarm a few other people in the village, in case you do. All his efforts have been in vain...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Those people in the village were already a little drunk, so they naturally couldn't feel the movement outside, and even Wang Deshun and Lao Zhang didn't notice it for a long time.

When they found out that something was wrong, it was also the time when the more than 100 cavalry rushed into the village.

Maybe he was really drunk, and when he saw more than a hundred cavalry rushing into the village, there was actually a rogue who raised his gun and wanted to resist, but the next moment this benevolent brother was beaten into a hornet's nest. And with such a stark example there, the rest of the people immediately became almost like good babies.

At this time, Wang Deshun and that old Zhang also ran over, especially Wang Deshun's arm was tied with an orange scarf, which was also the code they had agreed on beforeβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” orange was more conspicuous after all, if it was white, it might be killed in the melee.

"Sir!"

With a flattering smile, Wang Deshun ran over to receive the reward.

However, what surprised him a little, the cavalry who broke into the village did not pay attention to him, but were busy with themselves, which made Wang Deshun embarrassed and at the same time had a little foreboding in his heart.

Fortunately, at this time, a thin guy wearing a black suit, who looked a little out of place in these cavalrymen no matter how he looked at it, walked over, looked at Wang Deshun and asked. "You are Wang Deshun?"

"That's right!" Seeing that someone was finally willing to take care of himself, Wang Deshun was overjoyed.

After confirming his identity, the emaciated guy took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and looked at it, which looked like it should be more than a hundred yuan. "Well, this is what was promised, and you will follow me later, lead the way for us, and there will be other rewards after the deed..."

Ahem, differentiated...

If it is the Beiyang Army, it is naturally best to give silver dollars in order to buy people's hearts, but for these traitors, paper money is no problem. What's more, that person did not treat Wang Deshun badly, although the paper money printed by the Construction Bank is now only circulating in a few provinces around Anhui, but because it can be exchanged for gold, it is definitely a hard currency, even more hard than the silver dollar, after all, the price of silver has been falling, and gold is relatively stable.

But there is no way, now the Chinese people are not very accustomed to it after all, to be precise, they trust paper money, so silver coins can only continue to be issued...

Seriously speaking, Anhui's current fiscal system is somewhat similar to the gold and silver double standard.

The gold and silver double standard is a type of standard system, which was used by Britain, the United States, France and other countries for a long time in the 18th and 19th centuries. Under this system. Gold and silver are used as the materials for the production of standard coins, and both gold and silver coins have the ability to be infinitely compensated, and can be freely minted, circulated, exported and imported. Gold and silver coins can be exchanged freely. The emergence of this system compensates for the problem that gold production cannot meet market demand.

This system has its advantages as well as its disadvantages.

The advantage is that because of the double standard, the source of monetary materials can be both silver and gold, and the source is sufficient. Gold can be used for large transactions, and silver is used for small transactions, which is flexible and convenient. The two coins can complement each other. It is more convenient to stabilize the exchange rate with other currencies, and to trade gold coins with the developed capitalist countries. It can also trade silver coins with colonial countries.

However, since this system will be replaced by the gold standard, it will naturally have its shortcomings, and one of the most serious shortcomings is that it will cause bad money to drive out good money.

Therefore, Anhui adopts a lame-based system. Under this system, although gold and silver coins had the same legal status, silver coins were de facto forbidden to be minted freely. Historically, the United States, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, and other countries have implemented this system, which can be said to be the transition from the gold and silver double standard to the gold standard, but after adopting this practice. In fact, the limp standard can no longer be regarded as a pure gold standard.

In fact, Yan Shao also thought about directly implementing the gold standard. After all, the gold standard is now the mainstream. However, at that time, the area controlled by Yan Shao was only one Anhui, and it was inevitably impractical to directly implement the gold standard.

Now, after the peace talks between the north and the south, although the area controlled by Yan Shao has expanded to most of China, there are still many places that are not under his control, and China has also implemented the silver standard for many years.

As for this idea, it was proposed by Elaline to Yan Shao when he established China Construction Bank.

In fact, with the current situation in China. The limp standard is indeed the most suitable method for China. Otherwise, it is both the gold standard and the silver standard, and it is easy to cause the situation where bad money drives out good money.

Holding a wad of bills in his hand. After counting it, Wang Deshun put the banknotes in his arms with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, sir..."

"Nothing, this is what you deserve..."

Having said that, there was not a hint of a smile on the man's face.

Wang Deshun is also a little used to this, because the same is true of the person who contacted him at the beginning.

"Sir, what do you need me to do?"

"As I said, just lead the way for us in front..."

"When will you go? Our part of us is supposed to return to the city before nightfall..."

"Don't worry, it won't be long before the big army will come over, and then it'll be fine..."The man said and glanced at Wang Deshun. ……… You know how to ride a horse, right? ”

"Of course!" With a puffed chest, Wang Deshun said with some pride. "I think I was still a cavalryman of the Henan Patrol Battalion..."

Hearing him say this, the man and the cavalry officer not long ago all nodded in satisfaction.

As I once said, Yan Shao had been thinking about solving the problem of the White Wolf a long time ago, so it was natural that the Special Affairs Bureau had developed many internal lines within the White Wolf Army. The Wang Deshun in front of him is one of them, and his task is very simple, that is, to help the cavalry rushing to Zhumadian to lead the way, so that when entering the city, he will not delay the opportunity because he can't find the road...

As for the previous events, it can only be regarded as an accident ...

Originally, Wang Deshun was just accompanying people to eat and drink, and by the way, he waited for the National Social Army to come over, and when he saw Lao Zhang getting up, he followed it for convenience just in case. Who would have thought that he would happen to meet a small group of cavalry of the National Socialist Army...

But fortunately, otherwise, there are several horses tied in the direction of the village entrance, and if one accidentally runs away a few, they will run back to Zhumadian...

You must know that there is a small 3,000 White Wolf Army in Lu Dao, although the combat effectiveness of the White Wolf Army is not very good, but this time in order to make the offensive sudden enough that the White Wolf Army cannot react, so the vanguard troops sent by Fu Xiuming and Feng Guozhang are all cavalry...

Cavalry. It's mobile, but it's capable of besieging cities.

If the incident happened suddenly, it could catch the White Wolf Army off guard. Maybe one or two thousand cavalry can solve the White Wolf Army in Zhumadian. But if the White Wolf Army is prepared, as long as they defend the city, I am afraid that these two thousand cavalry may not be enough...

It is also because of this that after learning about this incident, the thin member of the Special Affairs Bureau and the officer of the cavalry also showed satisfaction in their eyes when they looked at Wang Deshun.

After all, if this is not done properly, they will also become very passive.

At the same time, continue to count the banknotes in your hand. Wang Deshun also let out a burst of creepy laughter.

I want to be an official, kill people and set fires...

Although he may not be able to become an official now, at least he has a good future. Honestly. He was also a little tired of the life of a rogue in the past, running around and grabbing what he was robbing, although it was comfortable but dangerous after all. What's more, it's impossible for a pawn like him to get anything good. Why don't you take this opportunity to change careers...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

About two hours later, seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, the follow-up cavalry finally arrived. Fortunately, there have been no accidents during this time, but this is also expected, after all, these people are just some rogues, and the reason why they can crisscross in Henan is completely because there are many eyeliners in the local area.

But now, these eyeliners have either been bought or have been removed. Moreover, the cavalry along the way also deliberately walked around the road, so it was naturally impossible to attract the attention of the white wolf bandits in Zhumadian.

And...

Even if it attracts attention. Although there are some troubles, it's a big deal to wait for the follow-up troops to come over.

Anyway, it's just a bandit army of only 3,000 years younger, and as far as the current National Social Army is concerned, it is enough to transfer a regiment at will, and the key is not to let them run...

On the other hand, the bandit army of the white wolf in the village had already made the villagers very nervous, and later more than 100 cavalrymen came. Now it was even more terrifying, more than a thousand cavalry came out, and the villagers in the village were almost nervous and did not dare to go out.

The only thing they were glad for was that the soldiers in black uniforms didn't harass them, otherwise they wouldn't have known what to do...

"Captain..."

Seeing that the leading officer had led a large group of cavalry to stop around the village, the two officers hurriedly rode out of the village to meet them.

"How?" Sitting on horseback, Cui Jie asked softly while looking at the unwilling village.

This time, the Kuomintang sent a cavalry regiment to raid the bandit troops in Zhumadian, and the entire regiment numbered about 1,100 people. And the two officers in front of him were the company commanders of two of the cavalry companies, who were responsible for opening the way...

"It's okay, the bandit army in Zhumadian shouldn't have noticed that we are coming..."Hearing Cui Jie ask there, one of the company commanders hurriedly replied.

"Okay, in that case, let's set off as soon as possible, be sure to catch them off guard, and you guys should return to the team immediately..."

"Yes!"

After listening to Cui Jie's words, the two company commanders immediately replied after looking at each other.

More than ten minutes later, the cavalry of the entire regiment roared towards Zhumadian. When the officers and soldiers of the National Socialist Army had almost disappeared, the people of the village came out of their houses tremblingly.

Looking at the backs of those cavalry leaving, these villagers almost all had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Although these white wolf bandits in Zhumadian lived a very leisurely life, it was impossible not to even watch the city gate after all. It's just that at this time, the military discipline of the White Wolf Army has begun to become erosive, so whether it is at the city gate or on the city wall, there are almost no serious on duty.

Either you are holding a wine bottle and drinking there non-stop, or you are fighting a field battle on the city wall with the kiln sister in the kiln.

But because of this, they didn't react until the cavalry was already very close to the city.

Seeing the cavalry of the brigade coming, although those people didn't know what the origin of these guys was, they also knew that the most important thing now was to close the city gate. But before these bandits could close the city gate, the 'companion' who had been silent by their side suddenly made a move, and soon the city gate became a battlefield...

Seeing that the city was getting closer and closer, more than a thousand cavalry troops began to divide the strength of one battalion according to the plan before departure, and began to gallop towards the other three city gates. And Cui Jie himself led the rest of the cavalry straight to the city gate, and he must control it before the chaos at the city gate is over...

In this way, no matter whether the cavalry of his regiment can take Zhumadian or not, these three thousand white wolf bandits will be trapped and killed in this city...

As for whether his 1,000 or so people can beat the small 3,000 bandit army in the city? To be honest, Cui Jie really didn't worry about this problem, not to mention that he brought a lot of heavy equipment over in order to complete the task this time, even if he couldn't take Zhumadian, it would be no problem to guard a few city gates.

In this way, as long as the subsequent infantry army arrives, the death period of these bandit troops will also come.

At this time, the White Wolf Army had grown to a scale of nearly 10,000 people, and Zhumadian was only one of the larger ones. Therefore, at the same time as Zhumadian started, several other directions were also launched at the same time.

After receiving the telegrams from Fu Xiuming and Feng Guozhang, Yan Xishan, Li Yuanhong, and Zhang Fenghui, who had already contacted Lu, also mobilized their troops to block the border between the three provinces and Henan...

It can be said that unless the end of the world realm comes early, no one can prevent the destruction of the white wolf bandit army...

At the same time, Yan Shao was also preparing for the work of going north on Anqing's side, although he still wanted to wait for the war in the south to come out with a result, but after all, time waits for no one, he must take over the position from Yuan Shikai's hands as soon as possible, and then he can continue his plan...

Here is an answer to the question of Wu Ryu, in history, after the outbreak of World War I, the Germans actually planned to return Qingdao to China for free, but the Japanese threatened Yuan Shikai, and finally Yuan Shikai chose to let the Americans take over in fear, and then return the Chinese routine.

He was counting on the contradictions between the Americans and the Japanese, but the Americans were not stupid and did not want to be a gunman for Yuan Shikai. Qingdao still did not return to the city, and war broke out between Japan and Germany in Qingdao.

In the book, the Germans will definitely agree if they want to return it, but even the Japanese who have coveted it for a long time are afraid that they will do it, so the protagonist is so anxious. (To be continued......)
