Fourteen hours, Zhaoyuan City is already close at hand! The big ship docked at the dock and went ashore, Jiang Qiang asked Huzi to rent a few carriages to come over, and the equipment on this ship can't be carried away! Zhaoyuan City is next to the Yellow Sea, the wharf is very lively, after the Japanese were driven away from Jinan, there are more merchants from the south to the north, Zhaoyuan City has naturally restored its former prosperity, and its vitality is gradually recovering! There are people coming and going on the water and land wharf, and there is a water anti-smuggling police station in Zhaoyuan, which is mainly to inspect water smuggling and collect card taxes! As long as the goods are disembarked, they are taxed at the rate of 3 to 10 percent of the value of the goods. When Han Fuyu was in power, the management was very strict, so that there was no private tax deduction and fraud. However, it is inevitable that there will be internal and external collusion in this kind of place, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult to find out and find out about human relationships!

This kind of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were originally to be canceled, but the cancellation does not mean that it will be able to be cut across the board immediately, so for a period of time, this type of tax will remain in some places, first, the people do not know that these taxes have been canceled, and they still think that they will pay the money, and the managers, for their own interests, as long as the above is not found, they will continue to collect money! Even if it is found above, the money cannot be returned after receiving it. Before that, they used up their own and couldn't catch it back! As for whether you will be punished, it depends on your luck! Jiang Qiang encountered such a situation, went ashore, moved the boxes containing the equipment ashore, and settled the rent with the boat boss. Let him go back. waited quietly for Huzi to rent the carriage.

A patrol squad leader walked over with four patrol officers towards Jiang Qiang and the others! Jiang Qiang and his party had a lot of people, but they didn't come by a boat, and there were only ten people who came with him. "Where did this gentleman get rich?" "I'm in the porcelain business!" Jiang Qiang said unhurriedly, this Hades is easy to provoke. The little ghost is difficult, not to mention that Jiang Qiang does not intend to reveal his identity when he returns to Zhaoyuan City this time.

"Porcelain, this business is not easy to do in our Zhaoyuan City, your box is full of porcelain?" Yes, it's all porcelain! "Open it and let me see!" "It's not good. We have a good load, and we can only unpack it when we get to the buyer, otherwise the buyer will not receive the goods, and it will be troublesome! Jiang Qiang said busily. No, now the smuggling is strictly investigated, especially the big smoke and munitions, your box is long, and it will definitely be no problem to pack a few guns! "How could I have a gun in this box, a porcelain? Or the best porcelain in Jingdezhen! Jiang Qiang said. If it's porcelain, do you open one for me to see? "This!" The patrolman immediately took out his gun, and the four officers behind him also raised their guns one after another! Jiang Qiang secretly screamed badly, when he came, because he was in a hurry. I didn't have time to get some porcelain as a camouflage, and besides, in such a place as Taipingzhuang, what kind of precious porcelain did I get, ordinary porcelain didn't need to be dressed so tightly.

Qin Siyu was about to make a move. was glared back by Jiang Qiang. "Boss, my porcelain was ordered by Zhao Yannian, the president of your Zhaoyuan Chamber of Commerce!" Jiang Qiang said slowly. "President Zhao?" As soon as I heard Zhao Yannian's name. The look of vigilance on the patrol squad leader's face slowed down considerably. "That's right, it's President Zhao!" "What does President Zhao do when he orders porcelain?" "I don't know about this, we never ask about the purpose of other people's business!" Jiang Qiang said, "If you want to open the box for inspection, you can also invite President Zhao over, I will deliver it to him in person, and you can let him open the box and show you!" "Tell me the truth, isn't your box full of antiques?" The patrol squad leader slowly put away the matching gun, leaned over, and asked in a low voice. "Boss, I can't say this, anyway, it must be porcelain!" Jiang Qiang said. "Understood, understood!" The patrol squad leader smiled and said, "President Zhao is a famous good man in our recruitment, and we can't help but give him face, but if you want to enter the city with these goods, can you not pay this tax?" "I still have to pay taxes...... "Stand down." Jiang Qiang scolded Qin Siyu and said, "Boss, the subordinate is not sensible, don't be like him, you say, how much tax?" "You have ten boxes here, ten oceans in one mouth, one hundred oceans!" The patrol squad leader counted. "One hundred oceans, why don't you grab ......" "Retreat, one hundred oceans is no problem, anyway, this money is also from President Zhao, but boss, give me a tax voucher for you!" Jiang Qiang said. "Tax vouchers, what tax vouchers, no!" The sheriff said, "No, this is not easy to do, and if I have to pay for this hundred oceans out of my own pocket, then I will suffer!" Jiang Qiang said. Come, come, let's speak further! The patrol squad leader rolled his eyes, pulled Jiang Qiang aside and said, "I'll give you a tax certificate of three hundred oceans, but you score half of me, how about it?" "Half, I'll give you another fifty?" "No, it's a hundred, three hundred oceans, one hundred is a tax, this is to be paid, and the remaining two hundred, you are one hundred, I am one hundred, understand?" "Understood, understood!" If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't reveal his identity, Jiang Qiang would have killed such a greedy guy with one shot. "I'll send you the money when I turn around?" "No, I gave you a tax certificate, you add it to me first, and we will clear the money and goods!" "I'll send you the money when I turn around?" "No, I gave you a tax certificate, you add it to me first, and we will clear the money and goods!" "You give me a tax certificate of 300, but you only pay 100, will you go up?" "No, if you don't say it, if I don't say it, who will know?" "It's not good, if it's found, then ......" "Don't worry, the above has actually stopped collecting this tax for a long time, but not many people know about it now......" "Understand, understand!" A cold light flashed in Jiang Qiang's eyes.

"Huzi, take two thousand banknotes and give them to this boss!" There is no problem with the banknotes in Shanghai, right? The sheriff said that Shanghai's banknotes are better than the ocean, "What, two hundred oceans!" "What nonsense, hurry up and get the money!" Jiang Qiang had a gloomy face and glared at Qin Siyu and said. "Yes!" The two thousand banknotes were handed over to the patrol squad leader, and after checking it, a tax certificate of 300 oceans was in Jiang Qiang's hand.

The carriage rented by Huzi came, and everyone loaded the boxes into the carriage. "Let's go!" Jiang Qiang waved his hand, and everyone followed, leaving the horse's head and heading towards Zhaoyuan City!

"Mr. Jiang, did you really give them money?" Huzi listened to Qin Siyu's narration and asked angrily. "If you don't give money, will your identity be exposed, don't forget, what is in our box?" Jiang Qiang said. "If you knew it earlier, why hide your identity!" "We have another purpose, how can we do it without hiding our identities?" Jiang Qiang snorted coldly and said, "Okay, don't complain, isn't it just two hundred oceans, is this money so easy to take?" "Mr. Jiang, what should we do next?" Huzi asked. "Find an inn and settle down first, and settle the brothers." Jiang Qiang said, "Then let's go see Ma Charter!" "To see the horse charter?" "If we don't see the horse charter, how can we borrow troops?" Jiang Qiang said. "Yes, yes, I almost forgot, we are here to borrow soldiers." Huzi smiled. There are many inns in Zhaoyuan City, it is very easy to find an inn to live in, not to mention that they have been to Huzi City before, it is easy to settle down in the west of the city, near the dock called "Good Again" inn! The special operators have their own tracking methods, so they don't need to be notified, and when they get ashore, they will naturally rush over to meet them. In order to avoid being too concentrated and conspicuous, the three squads stayed in three inns, where everyone could echo each other and centered around the "Come Again" inn. "Everyone has worked hard with me in the past few days, and they all rest this afternoon, and there is no task!" Jiang Qiang announced, "There may be a fierce battle next, everyone must be mentally prepared!" ”

"Huzi, about the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine, we are now in a black eye, Ma Zezhou, the head of the regiment, has failed several times to attack and return, the reason for the failure is of course the reason for the equipment, but there are other reasons, we are not clear now, I will ask in detail when I see Ma Xianzhang at night, now I will give you a task, select a team to go to Huojiaozi Town to conduct reconnaissance, find out the enemy's situation, can you do it?" Lu Shan said to Huzi. "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Huzi said loudly. "Don't be in a hurry to set up a military order, this task is not easy, first you are a living person, how to get in, have you thought about it, and, in a limited time, to reconnoiter the enemy, find out their strength and weaponry, etc., this is a considerable test for you, if it weren't for the fact that I promised Lao Qin and them, I would like to go over this mission in person!" Jiang Qiang said solemnly. "Don't, you must not go!" Huzi and Qin Siyu were both taken aback, if Jiang Qiang was allowed to carry out the task in person, even if they were safe and sound in the end, they would not have any good fruit to eat after they went back! "I know, so I don't embarrass you, and I don't make trouble for myself!" Jiang Qiang nodded. "How to act, wait until we meet Ma Charter to decide!"

Zhaoyuan in 1913 abolished the province, Zhaoyuan belongs to Shandong Province Jiaodong Road, in 1925 changed to Donghai Road, in 1928 the waste road directly under Shandong Province, in 1934 belonged to Shandong Province Ludong Xingyuan Ninth Commissioner District, in 1936 belonged to Shandong Province Seventh Administrative Inspector District, located in Jiaodong low mountains and hilly areas, mountainous areas, hills accounted for 32.9% and 38.4% of the total area respectively, hills are continuous, ravines vertical and horizontal. The terrain is high in the northeast, central and west, and the Luoshan Mountains in the northeast are the head of the group, and the main peak is 759 meters above sea level. There are 21 mountains with an altitude of more than 500 meters in the surrounding area. There are more than 160 rivers in 11 river basins, most of which are seasonal rivers with short and rapid sources, which are divided into the Bohai Sea system and the Yellow Sea system. The Dagu River, which is 48 kilometers long, is the largest river, and the Jiehe River basin is the largest river basin. There are 51 rivers with a main stream length of more than 5 km. The coastline is slightly concave, all of which are sandy shores with sea erosion, which are gentle and delicate, and are natural bathing beaches. The county is rich in mineral resources, mainly gold and silver mines, as well as quartz stone, fluorite, fluorite, building stone, etc. Gold mines: Gold resources are all over the county and are abundant. The focus is on the mountains in the northeast, north, northwest and south. In the area of more than 60 kilometers from Fushan, Linglong Mountain, Luoshan to Jinhua Mountain, there are more than 60 kilometers of gold veins that can be mined, and there are many reserves and high grade. Linglong Mountain, which stands side by side with the main peak of Luo Mountain, has the richest reserves, and has the saying of "Jiandou Mineral Sand Flat Dou Gold". The Linglong Gold Mine is located at the foot of Linglong Mountain.

The current gold mine is under the hands of bandits controlled by the Japanese, the military headquarters of Shanghai's Hongkou District. "Jiang Qiang means that in Shandong, the equipment of two divisions is being increased and there is an independent regiment and we have to send instructors, what is going on, Tang Juwu said that Jiang Qiang and Han Fuyu have already said that they are good, where Shandong is adding two divisions, and we will equip them, and Jiang Qiang has given 50 million US dollars to Han Fuyu, which independent regiment is already the Red Party released by Han Fuyu in prison, Jiang Qiang is a person who takes care of the overall situation, this guy has money anyway, The income of those two distilleries is the income of the two Shanghai cigarette factories, we will do what the little brother said, this guy can be regarded as having gone to Zhaoyuan County, Shandong now, the gold mine in Zhaoyuan is controlled by bandits supported by the Japanese, and it will be very difficult for him to act so big in Shandong without the help of Han Fuyu, and there is the matter of resisting Japan, he is never ambiguous, Jiang Baili said, then I will go to Hunan tomorrow where to arrange military factories to produce weapons with all their might, Tang Juwu said, now is the time, Chief of Staff, you go and arrange to recruit two thousand workers, so that people can stop the machine guns and can't stop, Jiang Baili said, Okay, I will set off early tomorrow morning, Han Fuyu's two army divisions are under the jurisdiction of 2 brigades, 2 regiments under the jurisdiction of the brigade, 3 battalions under the jurisdiction of the regiment with infantry artillery or mortar companies, 1 platoon of small artillery under the jurisdiction of the battalion, 1 artillery regiment, cavalry company, engineer battalion, communications battalion, baggage battalion, health team, special service company, searchlight platoon, etc. Independent regiment with a capacity of 13,000 people. As for the Japanese, although he also knew that there would be a war, the focus was not on guarding, because he did not think that Japan would launch a full-scale war of aggression against China before digesting the gains!

In the think tank of the Nanking government, they came to the conclusion that it might be ten years before the Japanese army launched a war of aggression against China, and ten years was enough for the chairman to unify the huge China under his command, and perhaps at that time, Japan would not have the courage to provoke a war! It is not an easy thing to ask the Nanjing government for weapons and ammunition, at least there must be a suitable excuse, and even if people promise to give it, how do you get them is also a problem, so this problem cannot be solved, and you can't use it if you are given something! Jiang Qiang thought that the chairman of the committee had been guarding against Han Fuyu, how could he give weapons to Han Fuyu, and it would be good if he didn't take away one of Han Fuyu's heavy artillery regiments, Jiang Qiang was the independent regiment of the Red Party at this time, a large regiment of more than 13,000 people, how big a regiment was, Jiang Qiang was also considering the equipment of the independent regiment, and finally decided to focus on light weapons, and finally Jiang Qiang made up his mind to have 10,000 rifles, 300 machine guns, 100 sniper rifles, 50 mortars, and 50 bazookas. Such a configuration is already very luxurious, Jiang Qiang took the opportunity to call Huzi to send a telegram to Tang Juwu in Shanghai, and he still took the matter of Zhaoyuan Gold Mine seriously.

With regard to the issue of conferring military ranks, in addition to the unchanged military ranks that have already been awarded by the Nanjing government, the corresponding military ranks will be awarded to your generals and schools at all levels in Shanghai in accordance with the current regulations of the state government. Commanders at the corps level are awarded the rank of lieutenant general, commanders at the division level are awarded the rank of major general, while officers at the brigade level are awarded the rank of colonel or major general, and officers at the regimental level are awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel! But before the war, many generals of the Northeast Army like Tang Juwu had already been awarded military ranks, of course, many people's military ranks were awarded by the Northeast Army itself, and the Nanjing government has not yet completely unified the military ranks. The major warlords also continue to use the military ranks they have privately conferred, and many of them are not worthy of their names. This point is also particularly prominent in the Northeast Army, and the military ranks of many officers are generally higher than the government's regulations on the awarding of military ranks!

The chairman of the committee hoped for the unification of government orders, and military orders were the first to bear the brunt, and there were many generals in the Northeast Army. Those who did not die with Zhang Laoshuai basically had the rank of general. Some of these people have gone into hiding, while others are still active in politics. People like Wang Yizhe and Huang Xiansheng are all generals, and Tang Juwu was only a lieutenant colonel before the war. Now that he has been awarded the rank of general, the chairman of the committee has given him the rank of general in order to win him over! This was all given before, and now after the reorganization, it will not be taken back immediately. How long has it been? Jiang Baili didn't care what rank he could award, but they must fight for Jiang Qiang's military rank. This must be the rank of general! In fact, the chairman of the committee only planned to give one lieutenant general in his heart, and in the end, he still gave Tang Juwu a general, and where did Tang Juwu take the equipment of two divisions.
