Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Tinglan glanced at Guo Songling slightly. This guy's utilitarianism is indeed too important. If he really loves Zhang Xueliang, he should follow Zhang Tinglan's advice and start from safety to ensure Zhang Xueliang's safety. But this guy is actively asking for a fight. There is also blame for Zhang Tinglan.

It seems that Guo Songling only regards his friendship with Zhang Xueliang as a shortcut to gain power. This kind of friend is by no means a true confidant.Zhang Tinglan took a peek at Zhang Xueliang, and found that he hadn't thought of this at all. Zhang Tinglan also knew that some things could not be effective just by saying it, on the contrary, it would arouse suspicion.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan put his opinion on Guo Songling deep in his heart, thought for a while, and then said: "Since Han Qing asked for a fight, this task is entrusted to you, but you must be careful and put safety first. Be brave, I will arrange enough reinforcements, as long as the Russians take the bait, they will never escape!"

Chapter 277 It's time for you

A gold bar weighs three taels. During the Republic of China, one tael was [-] grams, that is to say, a gold bar was [-] grams. Before World War I, it could be exchanged for [-] U.S. dollars. So far, the price of grain in Shanghai, China is the highest. Converted into U.S. dollars, the price of a load of the best flour is about three dollars.

But in Fuyuan, one load can be exchanged for two gold bars, which is 120 US dollars. Of course, according to the regulations, half of the profits must be handed over to the Jilin government, and the rest of the gold must be deposited in Fengtian Bank, and then exchanged into Fengtian notes. circulated in the market.

There is no doubt that the Jilin government has taken the big head, and they not only eat Chinese businessmen, but also Russian businessmen can't escape, they have to pay entrance fees, transportation fees, transaction taxes and so on.But after careful calculation, the gross profit has reached more than fifteen times.After deducting the shipping fee, the profit is more than five times, and after the flour arrives in Russia, the price will soar two or three times, or even have a price but no market.

This is the charm of the black market. Any businessman would go crazy. Qiao Lanyun held the ledger in his hand and looked through it carefully, with a vague smile on his face, looking very satisfied.When Zhang Tinglan came back from Fengtian this time, she also found the queen of Fengtian's business circle and asked her to take full responsibility.

A large amount of supplies are brought in every day, and at the same time keeping an eye on Russia's movements, it is indeed very brain-consuming. Zhang Tinglan has been working for a while, and has become a deserter, but Qiao Lanyun is willing to do it, manipulating the huge flow of wealth , unceremoniously swept away the hard-earned money of countless Russians, leaving nothing behind, and there is a special pleasure in it.

While Qiao Lanyun was looking at the account book beautifully, Zhang Tinglan came to her office. As soon as she walked in, Zhang Tinglan felt a headache for a while. The main reason was those annoying abacus sounds. Heard, crackling, ringing non-stop.It is even a bit like the Internet cafes of later generations, with countless devoted game fans pressing keyboards frantically.

This made Zhang Tinglan, who likes to be quiet, frown: "Boss Qiao, you are really self-cultivated. You don't care about interference. It's really admirable."

"Mr. Zhang, this is a little hobby of mine. The more I listen to the sound of the abacus, the more peaceful I become and the more relaxed I feel. If I can't hear it, I will feel uncomfortable."

"Sure enough, I am a born businessman, I am ashamed of myself."

"You're joking again. I was born to do coolies. You are the real big hand. Without your support, where would there be such a good money-making paradise?"

"Let's stop flattering each other, tell me, how do you plan to develop the black market next?"

"Mr. Zhang, I really thought about it. The high-grade flour we are smuggling now. Clothes and famous wine are mainly for the rich. Ordinary Russians can't afford gold bars. I think ordinary people can't let it go. Ship more potatoes in the country, stick noodles and the like, I heard that poor people in Russia take potatoes as their staple food, and the potatoes in our Northeast are big and delicious. They must be popular.”

Zhang Tinglan gave Qiao Lanyun a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Boss Qiao really has an idea, but you plan first, and I plan to expand a business route in the next step. In Fuyuan, you can trade directly through the river, but It’s still too far to transport things from the hinterland. Bulk things are not worth it.”

"Mr. Zhang, are you looking for a railway idea?" Qiao Lanyun, as an outstanding businessman, is very sensitive to various potential business opportunities, and the entire Middle Eastern Road presents a T-shape.The eastern half of a horizontal line passes through the Suifen River and is directly connected to the Russian Trans-Siberian Railway. It can reach Vladivostok, and to the north is Khabarovsk and other places.

Compared with road transportation, railway transportation has great advantages. Moreover, the Northeast is still in the stage of horse-drawn carriages, and the gap is even greater. If you plan to sell potatoes and rely on horse-drawn carriages, you will definitely lose money. Only through railways can you make money. Moreover, some large-scale equipment cannot be pulled away by horse-drawn carriages alone, and must be carried by railways.

In addition, Suifenhe has another important advantage, that is, it is located on the easternmost side of the Middle East Road, and Horvath's power is relatively weak, so he can avoid this greedy big bear. Zhang Tinglan has already arranged staff to prepare.

"If you can pass through this railway, the profits from a large amount of smuggling will definitely double. When are you going to open up the trade route?" Qiao Lanyun's tone was filled with excitement, and she was even eager to try.

"Don't worry about it. If you want to expand cooperation, you must first establish your prestige. Without military prestige, Russians will not be obedient!"

The law of the jungle, the strong prey on the weak!In fact, Zhang Tinglan had long considered Suifenhe, but without adequate preparations, especially if force cannot deter Russia, smuggling there might cause the Russians to harass the hinterland of Jilin along the railway, and the loss outweighs the gain.

Now that Fengjun has acquired a large number of weapons, and the reorganization has begun to bear fruit, Zhang Tinglan's waist has become stronger, and she has more ideas. Expand the scale of trade, and use the railway to evacuate the Far East. This plan is becoming more and more in Zhang Tinglan's mind. clear.

However, in order to realize this plan, one must show enough strength to deter the ambitions of the Russians and let them be honest and act in accordance with the rules of Fengjun, otherwise everything is delusional.

Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling and others finalized the battle plan, and then they found Qiao Lanyun, asking her to help throw out the bait completely, and use the black market in Fuyuan to disclose to the Russians the news of the arrival of Fengtian's large quantities of supplies. Yun Xinran took the order.

Sure enough, within a few days after the news was released, many idle Russians appeared on the black market. Their interest was not in looking at the goods or bargaining with merchants, but in seeking information, especially in dealing with some drivers. The coachman is very familiar with the news on the road.

Moreover, their lives are also rather depressing. They spend ten days and a half months walking in the vast snow field, grabbing a handful of snow when they are thirsty, and eating a bite of pastry when they are hungry, just to make more money.

Some Russians found these coachmen and took them to the county town to have a good time and feel the enthusiasm of Russian beauties. On those plump and elastic bodies, they galloped wantonly, attacked wantonly, and put all the rubbish emotions are released.

The room between the beds has always been the best place to obtain information. The Russians are well aware of this truth, and soon they pried open the mouths of the two coachmen, and obtained the specific route of Fengtian supplies. The information was sent to Khabarovsk.The Governor of the Far East who is currently in Khabarovsk is the nephew of the Tsar, named Felis, and it was this guy who killed the demon monk Rasputin with his own hands.

In order to avoid revenge, Felis took the initiative to go to the Far East to serve as the governor. However, after the royal family and nobles arrived in Khabarovsk, he was extremely disappointed. How could the Far East compare with the European world? He put all his energy on women and indulged in sex.

But the good times didn't last long, and the famine in Russia became more and more serious, especially in the Far East, which was not a grain-producing area in the first place, and the situation was even worse. Not only ordinary people, but even soldiers couldn't get enough to eat.

Russia established its country by military and building a powerful army has always been the biggest pursuit of the tsar. Now there is no more money to raise this giant military beast, and the beast will turn its head back and eat its master.

Felis was able to shoot Rasputin with his own hands, which shows that he is not a complete mediocrity. He also knows that the needs of the army must be met, and he will do everything possible, no matter how much the price is paid.

Therefore, under his connivance, the black market in Fuyuan became more and more prosperous, and a large number of weapons in stock were sold to China. Felix even intercepted a lot of arms from the United States and Japan, and exchanged them for food from China. , clothing, and daily necessities, the army finally settled down.

Felice heaved a sigh of relief, but gradually he also had other thoughts. He knew very well that the Chinese would benefit more from this kind of black market transaction. After getting so many benefits for nothing, Felis was unwilling, and even felt crazy.

No matter how many benefits there are in this world, they should all fall on him, a duke with noble blood. It was those damned Chinese who robbed him of his money. Felice gritted his teeth and filled his chest with resentment.

It just so happened that Russian bandits were rampant at this time, and Felis finally thought of a way. He could use force to take back those huge profits that belonged to him. Later, with the support of the governor, many Russian troops disguised themselves as Bandits frequently cross the Sino-Russian border, robbing more and more things, and their ambitions are also expanding.

"Mr. Duke, we have received definite information from the Chinese. They will have a large amount of supplies shipped from Fengtian, including a large number of luxury goods, worth at least hundreds of thousands of rubles. I don't think this batch of supplies should be let go." , When they transport the things to Fuyuan, we will kill them, the yellow-skinned monkeys will definitely not be able to stop us, they will rob the whole Fuyuan, everything is ours."

"Stupid pig!" Felice's eyes widened when he heard what his general said. Everyone in the Normanov family has a sick face. Once angry, their pale faces are like vampires. , eerie.

"Kurizin, use your pig brain to think about it, if we loot Fuyuan, the Chinese will be scared away, we still have a few months of long winter, should I put you in a pot , and distribute it to the hungry crowd?"

Kirizin was frightened by the Duke's attitude, and hurriedly said, "Duke, do you want us to give up these things?"

Felis was completely pissed off by this pig-headed subordinate, grabbed his chest, and said viciously: "You idiot, the Chinese have earned a lot of gold from me, I can't just sit and watch, if you want Take back what is mine!"

After Felix finished roaring, he said to Curizin: "I need you to rob these things, but don't exceed the bottom line of the Chinese, and you can't scare them away. In the next few months, we will Playing this game of cat and mouse until we get through the damn winter."

"Your Excellency the wise Duke, the humble servant finally understands your thoughts, and arrange it now!"

Chapter 278 The Servant Army

After the battle plan was formulated, Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling rushed to Fujin with more than 1000 people. This place is nearly [-] miles away from Fuyuan. Far.

If a large amount of supplies are directly put under the noses of the Russians, no one knows whether the Russians will go crazy, so Fujin has become the rear of the black market trade, and all the things transported from the Northeast and the customs are gathered here. Many merchants also learn about Fuyuan's market here, and adjust their purchasing and shipping plans in a timely manner.

In order to serve the smuggling trade, Fujin has a large number of guilds, banks, money houses, and a large number of middlemen. With these people, although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the bustle and prosperity are not inferior to summer, and even surpassed.

After Zhang Xueliang arrived in Fujin, Guo Songling took the initiative to discuss with him: "Hanqing, according to our estimation, if the Russian bandits want to ambush the convoy, they will definitely pass Fujin between Fujin and Fuyuan, and they will have penetrated into the hinterland of China." , They are not familiar with the place, and they will never do such a dangerous thing, so we started from Fujin to change our costumes, disguised as the driver and escort of the convoy, and then marched to Fuyuan to lure the Russians to attack!"

"Everything is under the arrangement of Teacher Guo!"

"There are no teachers here, only the head of the regiment and the chief of staff." Guo Songling said solemnly: "Hanqing, since you are in the army, you must follow the rules of the army. Our new army must not let others compare. I heard that Zhang Zhuoyan also rose through strict training of the new army, our subordinates must surpass him!"

"Mr. Maochen, why do you want to compete with Zhuoyan?"

"Shouldn't it? His security division is the first-class main force of the Fengjun, and he is also the No. 1 rising star of the Fengjun. His status even exceeds that of the older generation. Wen Wu is number one. Wu Wu is second. To lead an army in battle, one must be brave to be number one, otherwise you can only live under the halo of others.”

"Mr. Maochen, what you said is reasonable, but the most powerful person who speaks is not the leader who fights the war. He understands civil affairs, economy, finance, diplomacy. Education, all aspects, he is an all-rounder. Even if the leader fights more than him , also want to bow down, so far I haven't found out what he doesn't understand!"

Guo Songling heard that Zhang Xueliang had such a high opinion of Zhang Tinglan.It was also a burst of astonishment, as if saying that he was overestimated.The wrong target is chosen.Guo Songling was a little unnatural, but he quickly covered it up.

"Hanqing, let's change our disguise as soon as possible. We dispatch as soon as possible to solve the Russian bandits earlier and make meritorious deeds sooner!"

Zhang Xueliang also nodded in agreement.At this time, a convoy of more than 400 horse-drawn carriages had gathered in Fujin, which were filled with various supplies. The original plan was to send them to Fuyuan, and Zhang Xueliang and the others took over the convoy.

All valuables were unloaded.They were replaced with some stones and sandbags, disguised as goods. In the event of a conflict, these sandbags can also be used as a shelter. After all, it is very difficult to get enough sand temporarily in the vast snowy field.

As a caravan, it is definitely unrealistic to carry heavy weapons. Don't even think about cannons and the like. They can only carry some machine guns, which are installed on more than a dozen carriages for fire support.
