"Why don't you believe it?" Zhao Ming asked with a smile.

Li Jun was a little entangled, but still nodded.

"Well, how about a bet?" Zhao Ming didn't care either, and said with a smile.

"What bet?"

"I see that it's not easy for you to come here, it's okay to stay here for a few more days, stay here for an extra week, and within a week, I bet that someone will send me money one after another!"

It's not a small penny, it's a big one! Do you bet or not? ”

Hearing this bet, Li Jun felt strange.

"Bet on what? How big is this big money? ”

"If I win, you will participate in this project in the future, and the bet amount shall not be less than 10,000 oceans. If I lose, I'll give you 50,000 oceans directly!

As for this big money, it is not less than 200,000 oceans, do you think it is big enough? And not just one, I estimate no less than three.

What do you think? Do you dare to bet on this bet? Zhao Ming looked at Li Jun with a provocative expression.

At this moment, Li Jun fell into deep thought.

It's a complete mess of mush in my head, 200,000 oceans?!

He had never seen so much money in his life.

Although military salaries were paid every month, such things as military salaries did not go through his hands, and he did not purchase the expenses of ordnance supplies.

In short, he is a soldier, and the money has nothing to do with him.

Although he has made some money over the years by relying on the convenience of his position, he is actually poorer than the previous head of the regiment.

The head of the regiment is a faction, even if he is a marginal figure, the profit is not small.

Li Jun is in the line of Yan Laoxi, and there are a group of greedy and wealthy officials, working under these superiors, you can not worry about the cost of ordnance and the arrears of military salaries.

But if you want to stretch out your hand and be greedy for ink, it will rise sharply, who calls the chief officials all greedy for money.

"Brother Zhao, do you mean that in the past few days, someone will send you several sums of money worth 200,000 oceans?"

"Yes!"

"What does it have to do with the business you said?" Li Jun confirmed again.

"Not bad! They are all my partners. ”

Zhao Ming also took out the cigarette case from his pocket as he spoke, found that it was empty, and beckoned to Ah Fu, and soon another box of cigarettes was added.

"Alas, the stockpiling is almost exhausted, how can you give a sentence, how can such a big man still grind and chirp?"

"I can bet!"

Li Jun thought about it and nodded in agreement.

There is nothing bad about him in this bet, if it is really as Zhao Ming said, then this is indeed a big deal.

"But.... Chief Zhao, you can first say that this business will not be the kind of business that violates principles too much, right? ”

Li Jun was still a little worried.

"Don't worry! I won't let you do anything that violates the principles, I'll tell you the truth, see it! ”

"That's a big open-pit coal mine I found, and you think it's a big deal?"

Hearing Zhao Ming say this, coupled with the fact that there were indeed piles of coal mines behind the houses in the distance, he immediately believed a little.

He doesn't know much about business, but looking at so many coal mines, he feels that Zhao Ming won't lie to him.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Ming asked Ah Fu to prepare a room for this Lieutenant Colonel Li and his subordinates.

Looking at Li Jun, who was still a little suspicious and looked around from time to time, Zhao Ming smoked very calmly.

It is necessary to give Zhang Li a symbolic show of force, and it is impossible to hide it from the other party all the time.

It should be discovered sooner or later, and as for whether the other party will attack him immediately, it depends on this Li Jun.

"Master Zhao, do you think that after Li Jun goes back, will he directly tell the above about our situation here?"

Lao Sun, who has been listening from afar, is more worried about this, he has been in the world for so many years, and he knows very well that this person's heart is difficult to say.

"He didn't dare!"

Zhao Ming shook his head, seeing that Lao Sun was a little confused, he still explained, "The reason is very simple, Zhang Li has now been taken away by me one after another.

Hell if he still has the money to fight me in a tough fight.

Even if you want to do it to me, it's only after the beginning of spring.

Once he doesn't do it immediately, he will use Li Jun to appease my heart. He can't do it, and he's worried about whether I'll do it.

Once I'm in chaos, with the military power I'm showing now.....

How difficult do you think it will be for us to start a bigger riot than the invasion of Mongolia?

So~ Li Jun not only won't add oil and vinegar, he will only help us as much as possible. ”

Hearing this, Lao Sun suddenly realized, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really the case.

With the current firepower of the entire Zhao Ming reinforced regiment, it will only be easy to set off a riot that is bigger than that of Outer Mongolia going south.

And there were eighty-eight artillery pieces, although there were not enough shells, but Zhang Li didn't know.

With so many artillery pieces pulled to the vicinity of Zhangjiakou, the fun will be big.

In addition, not long ago, Zhang Li claimed that Zhao Ming was a hero, but in a blink of an eye, the hero actually rebelled.

When the time comes, I am afraid that the whole world will have to laugh at Yan Laoxi, and some literati and writers will not be able to write hard, criticizing whether Yan Laoxi will do some indiscriminate means to force the loyal ministers to rebel.

So this is a conspiracy, you can only suffer this dumb loss.

Zhao Ming even thought about this empathy.

If you are smarter, you will not do it now, and even if you want to do it, it will drag on for a while, maybe three months, maybe half a year.

In short, during this period of time, he asked someone to spread some rumors about Zhao Ming, such as colluding with the Outer Mongolians, and it is suspected that the reason for his outstanding military exploits is inseparable from the collusion with the Outer Mongolians.

With righteousness, there is no pressure at all to get started.

Of course, the simplest and most rude thing is to ignore it and directly call the army to do something to Zhao Ming.

This has been the practice of many warlords in recent years.

But this is no longer the year when many warlords fought in the early Republic of China, and the forces of several big warlords are almost finalized.

If you're doing something here, others may be stumbling.

To put it simply, this is the period of the Three Kingdoms, not the era of Dong Zhuo's cholera.

But Zhao Ming also thought about it, even if Zhang Li was enraged, he was completely red-eyed and wanted to kill him.

With the current financial situation in Chahar, we have to wait for the beginning of spring, which is still two months away.

Two months is enough time for Zhao Ming to further expand the army, and so has the recent increase in the number of recruits to be trained.

Now it has expanded from the original scale of more than 3,000 people to 5,000 people, but the remaining more than 1,000 people are still just new recruits for the time being, and they still need to train hard.

This is also Zhao Ming's last resort.

Once Zhang Li is completely unable to coexist with himself, Zhao Ming is already planning to have a tough encounter with Zhang Li.

Fear?

Zhao Ming is really not afraid!

These days, he really didn't just lay out in Chabei, after the trouble in Outer Mongolia was solved, he asked Chang Wei to send some Zhuanghu brothers to Zhangjiakou to investigate information.

One after another, I really heard a lot of information.

In addition, a lot of intelligence secrecy work has been done in recent years, and you can even hear some military movements in the teahouse that are not very secretive.
