Chapter 230 Heavy Snow Goes to Chuzhou
If it weren't for the heavy snowfall, the fire caused by the Yang family would have suffered most of the eastern city.
Next.
Although the fire was extinguished, the smell of mush still lingered.
The government cleaned the Yang family's mansion, which was burned to the ground, and found more than 200 corpses, most of which were poisoned before death, and a small number of stab wounds were also found in the placket of some corpses.
It can be believed that before leaving, Yang Song poisoned and killed all his family members, and had a conflict with the Wudesi killers brought by Jia Yong, and the result was obvious, Yang Song won the final victory, and burned Yang's mansion to destroy the corpses.
With the evidence of the Yang family's crimes, even if he is tried by the public, he will be sentenced to be beheaded, but now he doesn't need the government to do it, he has "cut himself off" first.
Killing your own family is really ruthless.
It is not surprising that Yang Song transferred all the silver money in the bank, some of which were his own, and some of which others had deposited with him, the specific amount was unknown, but at least more than 10 million taels.
If Yang Song really took these 10 million taels to the Japanese invaders, there is no doubt that it will make it more difficult to resist the Japanese invaders......
The biggest reason why Song Che decided to fight against the Japanese is because of this person, if Yang Song is not eliminated for a day, it will be a disaster for both him and the country.
After the fall of the Yang family, Song Che naturally became the president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.
When the Chamber of Commerce was controlled by the Yang family, it was basically the Yang family who ate the meat first, and then threw the bones to other members, and even occasionally sucked the blood of the members.
Song Che is different, he adheres to the concept of "everyone earns money together", the chamber of commerce does not interfere in the business of the firm, and binds the chamber of commerce with the silver number such as the world's money bank, so that all members can store and borrow freely, and put forward the plan of "mutual help" and "one belt and one road" -
The first thing Song Che did when he became the president was to divide all the "big cakes" left by the Yang family, which could be regarded as "borrowing flowers to offer Buddha", stabilizing the hearts of the owners and letting them know:
"Mix with me Song Che, there are bones to gnaw on, and there is meat to eat!"
The second thing is to open a "Chamber of Commerce Fund Pool", calling on all members to donate and deposit the funds into the fund pool, no matter what is the current anti-Japanese or what natural and man-made disasters occur in the future, they can be quickly withdrawn and used.
As of early November, 500,000 taels of silver had been deposited into the fund pool, some of which was used to resettle displaced people and the other part to finance the anti-Japanese anti-Japanese rebellion.
Song Che had decided to go north with the army, and many things could not be done in person, so Shen Wenjun became the "acting president", and with her ability, she would definitely be able to manage the Chamber of Commerce in an orderly manner.
"It's just that in the next few months, it's going to be hard madam."
On the last night before parting, the snow was falling outside the house, and the house was as warm as spring.
"It's okay, I've brought back the good news of Aunt Song's election as president to Suzhou and Hangzhou, anyway, the business in Yunshuifang is bleak, Qin Ruo and they are idle, and the group of uncles in our mother's family, hmph, I see, they can't wait to fly over, so that they can borrow Aunt Song's name to play prestige."
Indeed, whether it is the in-law's family or the mother's family, if the relatives in the family become the president, it is a matter of honoring the ancestors, even if he is a son-in-law.
"I remember that Mrs. said that your dream is to become a legendary businesswoman like Lao Taijun, and now it seems that your dream is about to come true."
"It's still far away, just the old lady's knees are full of gold and jade, and it can't compare to ......"
"Hmm...... When I triumph, let's have a litter. ”
……
Early the next morning, heavy snow sent off the guests.
Song Che rode a small donkey, wearing an indigo robe, a black hat, and a white mask on his face.
Everyone has to call him Mr. Bai.
3,000 Yangzhou troops, heavy snow went to Chuzhou, and embarked on the journey of resisting the Japanese.
"Brother Song...... Oh no, Mr. Bai, I wonder why you want to wear a mask and wrap yourself like a white-haired bear when people all over the world want to be able to show up and make a contribution. ”
Jiang Yuntian rode a red-maned horse, wore armor, and wore a sword at his waist, although he did not have any military rank, he looked like a general more than anyone else.
Song Che shook his head and said: "Do the opposite, don't take the ordinary road, don't think about ordinary things, it's very human, this is ...... Force. Road. ”
"Forced ...... Road? ”
"Harm! It's the way to pretend to be forced, don't think crookedly. ”
If he doesn't reveal his identity, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages, he is a businessman who lacks nothing, and he can be regarded as very responsible to fight the Japanese with the army in this season of freezing eggs, but he can't get into any enemies.
Isn't it just to protect the family and defend the country so that you can have a hot kang head for your wife and children in the future?
Marching in the heavy snow, resting too long and getting colder, coupled with the urgency of the military situation, the team did not stop much along the way.
On this expedition, Song Che specially ordered people to brew three carts of puree sorghum wine, the degree of which was more than 60 degrees.
As soon as this wine was taken down, the cold immediately dissipated for seven minutes, burning people's bodies hot, and the soldiers who were in a hurry relied on this wine and dried chili peppers to boost their strength.
Of course, in addition to drinking, high-grade wine can also be burned, which is the first weapon that Song Che prepared for the anti-Japanese army.
With mathematics, physics and chemistry in the brain, don't be afraid of the little widows!
After two days and one night, we arrived in Chuzhou.
Bao Dayou went directly to the barracks, recuperated for two days, and then sent to the front.
The most serious place in Chuzhou is a small city called "Yancheng" more than 120 miles to the east. Listen to the name, you will know that Yancheng is the location of the largest salt factory in Huainan, which is related to the livelihood of most of Huainan and is the top priority.
Most of the troops were transferred to the front line to fight, and there were not many troops left in Chuzhou, only more than 2,000 people, responsible for forging weapons, preparing grain, grass and ordnance, and recruiting troops and other logistics supplies.
The temperature in Chuzhou is lower than that in Yangzhou, and the snow is more ruthless than in Yangzhou, and the city of Chuzhou, which is immersed in heavy snow and shrouded in the haze of war, is lifeless.
Taking advantage of the rest days of the army, under the recommendation of Bao Dayou, Song Che successfully came to the armory where weapons were made-
If you want to dominate a war, advanced weapons are indispensable, and in the era of cold weapons, firearms are undoubtedly a dark horse.
In order to better build muskets, Song Che sent people back to Suzhou ten days ago and invited the three brothers from the Wang family's blacksmith shop to come over, and the three brothers built more than 100 muskets, which have long been practiced makes perfect, and the muskets they produce have not yet been blown up.
There was no shortage of skilled craftsmen in the ordnance station, and the three brothers were trained to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese when a large number of muskets were eradicated.
The musket is the second weapon that Song Che prepared for the anti-Japanese war!
