The shock brought to the whole country by the recovery of Hanjiang City is far more than that, in Hanchang is being forced to retreat step by step by the Beiyang Army of the imperial court, and the shrinking Hu Beidao rebel army announced the good news in four places.

In Hunan, in Yizhou, Shazhou and Kuncheng, which have been recovered, are full of recovered newsprint.

In Liangyue, in Jiangnan, in Jiangbei, and in Qingzhou, uprisings were all brewing, and anyway, all the states and provinces of the Great Qian Empire were openly and enthusiastically discussing the events of the restoration of the Han River.

In Jinling, the three giants of the southeast of the Great Qian Imperial Court are looking at the huge threat that has emerged in this southeast with a worried heart.

Along the line of the Yangtze River, the news of the recovery of the Han River has spread all over the world, and even the robed buddies in Yizhou Sichuan West Road, where the rebel army is still fighting hard, set up a dragon gate formation in the teahouse, and they all shouted in a straight voice: "The Han River City has successfully rebelled, Lao Tzu wants to see it, Zhao Papi, his baby will end!" ”

In the northern Qianjing City, there was a storm and storm, and the queen mother just hugged the three-year-old emperor and cried all day long.

The Shangshu of the household department of the imperial court, the Shangshu of the Han nationality are empty-handed, and the source of wealth for the southeast liberation of the imperial court has been cut off, so they simply say that they are not sick and do not go to work.

Yuan Shiren's son, Yuan Lao Er, looked at Guan Wang Jingbi's cell, running more and more diligently, and the two of them bowed to each other.

Only a group of court relatives and nobles of the Zongshe Party were still clamoring, and they immediately mobilized the fifth division of Zhang Huaizhi in Qingzhou to quell the chaos on the Han River.

It's a pity that there aren't too many people paying attention to them, and the staff officers of the Military Advisory Office have asked for leave to go south, or go to Hubei Province or Shenhai, and the Military Advisory Office will also give them their usual salaries.

The court of Daqian was crumbling, almost waiting to take its last breath.

Wang Feng, who was in the center of the storm, did not have the consciousness that he had become a well-known figure in the world. In addition to working in the manufacturing bureau for three or two hours every day, he is on the training ground in Dongmen City, working hard to train his iron-blooded army, and his eyes are always looking south at Jinling.

In the past ten days, the iron-blooded army has been greatly enriched, Chen Sanye and his team brought back more than 1,500 stragglers of the 9th Brigade from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and also recruited more than 3,000 recruits on the Han River, mainly refugees from Hubei Province, mainly young students.

There were also more than 200 officers from all over the country who defected, and the two regiments of the Iron and Blood Army were completely full. Lü Si's teaching camp was also expanded into a teaching group. Together with the newly established artillery battalion, the whole army already has more than 7,800 people, and the equipment is very complete!

Because of the large number of veterans and the enthusiasm of the recruits, although the training is generally lacking, it is already very usable.

The original Yangtze River fleet of the imperial court was also reorganized into a fleet directly under the Iron and Blood Army, in addition to sixteen or seventeen gunboats and transport ships, a naval battalion of 6 was also formed.

In addition, in the city of the Han River, there are two patrol detachments belonging to the Iron and Blood Army, each with more than 8oo people, responsible for the maintenance of law and order in the city.

Speaking of financial resources, Hanjiang City was already very wealthy, and Wang Feng was quite stingy when he connected to the two roads of Jihu North Road.

He extorted 1,900,000 taels of silver from the Daqian Bank, and obtained 1,500,000 taels of silver from the Manufacturing Bureau, Customs Road, Mint, and Tongyuan Bureau in several places, and in addition, in 10 days, he also raised 3 million yuan in military salaries, and in addition to allocating 3 million taels of silver to set up the Guangfu Bank, he also had reserves of more than 3.7 million yuan in hand.

It received 100,000 yuan from the cities of Hubei Province and 50,000 yuan from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the daily expenditure was only 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.

If you don't care about civil affairs and just support your own army, you won't even be able to use 10,000 yuan a day, but Wang Feng still cries all day long, his eyes are shining, and he looks at where he can still make money.

The hearts of the people of Hangang City have boiled to a high point, and every day there are people asking to organize a northern expedition of death squads.

Within the Han River Military Government and the Advisory Bureau, there are also voices asking why Wang Feng has 10,000 elite soldiers, so why is he not moving on the Han River?

Jinling still has big braids, and a big enemy like Tieshan is in charge, how can you watch them entrenched on the Yangtze River like this?

After the news of Jiangnan's recovery came on November 7, Wang Feng finally knew that he could not stay in Hanjiang any longer.

Jinling, the political center of the southeast of the Great Qian's Empire, must be recovered by itself, and if Jinling can be conquered, then the name of the great Qian's founding father and meritorious hero will no longer be able to escape.

Jiang Lingwu sat in the carriage, and he was also speculating in his heart, at night, why did Wang Feng invite him to the Governor's Mansion, in addition to being the finance minister in the past ten days, he was also responsible for the diplomatic affairs of the military government.

These things were originally his forte, and he quickly raised 3 million yuan in military salaries for the military government, and completely pacified the concession side.

Kent has revealed that the legations will soon recognize the Predators as a legitimate belligerent group. The cause of recovery is indeed smooth, but that kid firmly grasps the soldiers and money, these two things in his hands, and can write some comments to solicit the people's hearts in the newspaper if he has nothing to do, and sit firmly in the position of the governor.

But these days, the forces of all parties are intertwined, Hu Hansan also rushed over from Xiangjiang, and the military government of Hubei Province also sent representatives to liaise. Jiangnan Province was all mobilizing, and Shenhai immediately sent troops to Jinling.

This governor is always unpredictable, he doesn't know what he is thinking, and if he delays any longer, it will be bad for him!

The carriage stopped, and several of Wang Feng's guards greeted him all the way to his residence. I saw Wang Feng wearing a white English woolen sweater with a high neck, wearing breeches and leather boots and greeting him at the door with a smile: "Brother Lingwu, I really wronged you by pulling you over so late!" ”

Jiang Lingwu lifted his glasses and smiled: "It's not hard to talk about any hard work, all the governors are called, can those of us who are small soldiers under the bottom not obey orders?" ”

Wang Feng laughed and welcomed Jiang Lingwu into the room, Jiang Lingwu saw a huge map of Jinling hanging in front of his desk, surrounded by red and blue pencils, and his heart moved This young governor is ready to fight Jinling?

So how to maintain the situation of Hangang City? Is this what he called himself tonight?

Wang Feng looked at him and looked at the map and smiled: "This is a second-class staff officer of the Military Advisory Office, Zhang Dabiao and his brothers organized the staff officers to study it for three days before drawing this map. This Jinling can't help but fight, or it will be too much of an obstacle to the recovery of the situation south of the Yangtze River! ”

Jiang Lingwu stopped the pounding heartbeat in his heart: "Dudu, which team are you going to send to fight?" There aren't many teams that can be transferred out of the Han River. ”

He thought to himself, who would dare to pull a team under your kid's hands, the first few were cut off by you, and Hanjiang City will be just your three groups of people, see what tricks you can play.

Wang Feng stood up and took a few steps in front of the map, and the light in the room illuminated his face half-brightly and half-darkly.

He said in a deep voice: "Jinling has forty battalions of Jiangfang Army, plus the Second and Sixth Road Patrol Teams in northern Jiangsu, there are almost more than 20,000 troops. Where is there any army in Hanjiang City, isn't it just the thousands of people I can still transfer out? This time, only the brothers will go, and they will unite with the coalition forces in Jiangnan and Jiangbei to have the certainty of recovering Jinling. The situation in Hanjiang City is still to be maintained by Brother Lingwu! ”

Jiang Lingwu looked at the map with him, heard his words for a long time, did not make a sound, and finally said lightly: "The governor is here, how can we have the strength to maintain the situation on the Han River?" Brother Sun Wu is very powerful, it is better to choose him to bear this arduous task, and I will help from the side, and I will definitely be able to ensure the safety of Hanjiang City, as the rear road and military station of the governor. ”

Wang Feng looked at him and smiled.

"Brother Lingwu's words, how can they be the same as Brother Sun Wu's words? The brothers had the intention to hand over the position of governor to the two seniors, but both of them were respectful and forgiving each other. In fact, my brother has no prejudices in his heart, this governor of the Hanjiang River is a chore, and in the past ten days, my brother has known that millions of people have to eat, drink, and Lazar have to be managed, and they have to help all parties, although the name is good, but it is really tiring! It's better to lead the troops to the front line and work hard with Zhang Da Braid. ”

Jiang Lingwu listened to his words silently, and was thinking quickly in his heart, how true and how false his words were, and he also explained to Sun Wu? One daughter and two marriages, what is his idea?

Wang Feng raised two fingers, and his tone of voice was also a little solemn: "Brother has decided to send troops!" Although the soldiers are still far from being trained, the cause of recovery is as urgent as a spark, and it is indeed impossible to wait! The arduousness of the back road of Hanjiang City, the two seniors have to accept it even if they don't take it, and it all depends on the face of the recovery cause. There are only two demands for the brothers: first, to pay 3 million yuan for the promotion and all the expenses for the war; Second, it is the manufacturing bureau of Nanshi that is left to the Iron Army; I'll keep a bunch of people here to make sure that the arms can be replenished. Brother is saying something disrespectful here, if anyone can do these two things, brother, the governor of the Han River, will immediately offer it with both hands! ”

He ripped off all the hypocrisy and politeness, and clearly laid out the essence of the transaction in front of Jiang Lingwu.

This place where the Governor of the Han River has millions of dollars every year, after the recovery is successful, it is likely to be the identity of a party leader, how could they not want it?

Jiang Lingwu thought about it and felt that this was still Wang Feng, and he might be grateful to him for preparing a military salary of three million yuan for him in the early stage and taking special care of him.

He is now the treasurer of Hangang City, and raising money again is a matter for him.

He didn't have the heart to talk to Wang Feng more, so he hurriedly said goodbye. My mind is full of wonders, how to raise these three million? The Treasurer's treasury can run mice, and every little income is taken away by the Iron Army headquarters, and now it's too late to open a new tax.

As a gentleman of the Hanjiang City Business Group, he can raise another 1 million or so in the wheel merchants, and he can also take out 200,000 yuan and borrow hundreds of thousands from foreigners. Even if you go to borrow usury, you have to make up the three million!

In Sun Wu's house in Nanshi, Sun Wu and several of his henchmen, as well as a middle-aged man with big ears, were also talking in distress.

The middle-aged man with big ears in this regard is Hu Hansan, who hurried from Xiangjiang, he was originally the host of the League in Xiangjiang, but at this time, the Han River was restored, but there were no generals of the League who were listed in important positions in the military government, so he became a deputy military chief in name only. The governor of the military government, although he claimed to be a member of the League, had never heard of it.

He rushed to the Han River almost the day after his recovery, but Wang Feng was lukewarm to him, and he called his predecessors affectionately, but he didn't give him any actual name.

made him, a character with a narrow temperament and a high self-esteem, as depressed as Sun Wu until now.

Sun Wu smoked a cigarette bubble fiercely, letting the blue-gray smoke slowly exhale out.

Hu Hansan glanced at him: "Brother Sun Wu, it's better for you to touch this thing less in the future, people who want to do big things, can't have too deep hobbies!" ”

In Hanjiang City, Hu Hansan can say a few words about him, Sun Wu threw down the cigarette gun, turned over and sat up from the couch, and Jiang Zhong hurriedly sent his shoes over.

Sun Wu said boredly: "I'm having a headache!" Third Brother Han! You heard the plate that the red guy opened today. Where is this still like a party? Three million! What else can I do with three million? ”

He was also in a hurry to speak, Hu Hansan smiled faintly and didn't care.

Sun Wu folded his fingers and calculated: "Hu Bei can raise 300,000 yuan for the brothers here; Guangzhao Office, the brother can borrow 800,000; The rest is gone! Jiang Lingwu, that ghost guy must have opened a plate, he can get it, but his brother really can't get it. ”

He looked at Hu Hansan with some hope: "Is it possible to solve it a little bit over there in Xiangjiang?" ”

Hu Hansan just shook his head: "The public funds over there in Xiangjiang are not easy to come by, and the amount is not much, almost just spend it casually, I came to Hanjiang and want to solve some money, Brother Sun Wu, don't expect it." ”

Sun Wu hugged his head: "I worked in the Han River for half a year with my head in my head, but in the end it was a failure!" Third brother Han, now the brother is disheartened and ready to lie down and quit. ”

Hu Hansan was also silent for a while, not knowing what to say to persuade him, and finally just reluctantly said: "I'll mobilize comrades, there are quite a few people who have families and businesses, and they can probably raise some money!" I don't dare to say more, there are always two or three hundred thousand, Brother Sun Wu, if you think about it, three million should be able to work hard, this Hanjiang Governor is bound to win, otherwise we will have no own territory to develop our forces! ”

Sun Wu said coldly: "What can you do even if you raise three million?" Jiang Lingwu, he can also raise it, we can't fight him with money. ”

The two people next to him were talking at the same time, but the content was completely different.

"Then let's kill Jiang Lingwu first!"

"Then we'll raise more money!"

It was Yang Shulin who said that he wanted to kill Jiang Lingwu, but it was Jiang Zhongting who raised more money.

Sun Wu thought for a long time and shook his head at Yang Shulin: "Jiang Lingwu has dozens of guards from the Wang Feng faction around him, and he has his own strength, besides, after all, he is a friend and comrade, and he can't do this, if it spreads, I, Sun Wu, shouldn't mix up in Hanjiang City." ”

He looked at Jiang Zhongting again: "You say, is there any way to raise more money?" ”

Jiang Zhong's thin face was already confident, and he looked at Hu Hansan and Sun Wudao: "Brother has been thinking about it for a long time, the only way to get money is to ask for it from our brothers in the Green Gang!" Now that the tobacco trade is under control in the hands of the concession, we can promise the brothers of the Green Gang, when the governor of the Han River arrives, we will also sell tobacco at the 12th pier of the Han River! With such a big wharf and such a big business, a few young gang bigwigs and interested businessmen and wealthy gentry can put together three million yuan, which is at your fingertips! ”

Everyone fell silent, this is indeed a good way, and the money comes the fastest, as long as the tobacco can be sold for a year, those businessmen can have tens of millions of profits, and take three million to pave the way, they are very willing.

But this governor of the Han River will inevitably be called the governor of tobacco in the future.

Sun Wu's face was red and white for a while, and he looked at Hu Hansan again, and Hu Hansan turned his face away.

Sun Wu knew that the old fox was going to stay out of this decision, and he didn't care about him, just kept spinning thoughts in his head, and finally jumped up in his single nature.

Say loudly: "Good! That's it! Lao Tzu fights this one! Zhongting, you put the news out, interesting people have recruited me, how much money we can raise, is how much money! ”
