Heroes of the War of Resistance

What's more, Hu Biao, who came to Shillong this time, also plans to open some mines here.According to the experience of serving in the Southwest in his previous life, Hu Biao knew that there were some small-scale gold and silver mines in the Southwest, which were relatively easy to mine.

Although it is unkind to do so, Hu Biao must also find a way to earn more wealth in the current situation.Only in this way can the subsequent development plan be supported.If you want to complete your plan, funds are extremely important.

As a caravan who has been doing business all year round, he was somewhat surprised and surprised when he heard that Hu Biao was planning to open up a business route in Shillong.In Li Dacheng's view, places like Shillong really have nothing to recommend them.

But Li Dacheng didn't know at all that when the Japanese army invaded Gui Province, the bustling Longzhou would be reduced to ruins in an instant.At that time, these caravans in the southwest want to purchase goods, so they can only find another place.

After only staying for a year or two, Hu Biao believed that Shillong would become a new distribution center for goods.In the future, as long as the corresponding taxes are collected, Hu Biao will make a lot of money.With this kind of influence, are you afraid that you won't get the support of the people and business circles in Southwest China?

Looking at Li Dacheng who was still in deep thought, Hu Biao also said directly: "Right now, it is difficult to do business in the southwestern regions. Apart from the difficult roads, there is also a serious problem of banditry. If you are not careful, businessmen may lose their personal wealth. The end of the two empty.

To change this situation, the only way is to open up more trade routes and eliminate those bandits who are doing harm to one side.Regarding these problems, I will try my best to solve them in the future.Even in the future, I may send my subordinates to escort supplies for you.

When my follow-up subordinates arrive one after another, I will also expand the scope of bandit suppression.Don't dare to say anything else, just a bunch of bandits, I will suppress them until they have nowhere to hide.Even if they have a background, I will solve it.Naturally, I won't be polite to people who do bad things to me.

I dare not say anything about other places, but within the territory of Gui Province alone, as long as my name is used, I believe that the officers and soldiers will not block it.I have a good relationship with the two officers, Li and Bai, I believe they will also sell me this face, not to mention that this matter is also beneficial to them! "

Hu Biao in other provinces hasn't established a relationship yet, but he believes that as long as he comes forward, the big bosses in charge of the two provinces will give him some face.Moreover, things like suppressing bandits and doing business are also beneficial to them themselves.

Faced with the conditions given by Hu Biao, Li Dacheng also said happily: "Thanks to the superior's respect, Dacheng will definitely inform the horse teams of the news. I dare not say whether others are willing to come, but my cavalry will definitely do their best to replace the commander. effective!"

"Thank you! There is a first time in everything. Is it worth cooperating with me or not? We also need a process of trust and adaptation. In addition, I would like to trouble Litou to send another message, that is, come to me to trade, and you can trade some things you urgently need. s things.

Walking in the southwest all year round, I believe you also know that the bandits in the southwest are not easy to mess with.If you have enough manpower and sufficient weapons and ammunition, I believe that any bandits who want to attack you should also consider the consequences, right?

Although I don't know where you usually buy your weapons from, I believe that the price of your weapons should not be cheap.If you choose to send the goods to me for trading, then I can sell all weapons and ammunition, and the price is definitely lower than others.

As long as you can afford it, machine guns and mortars are not a problem.If you think the cost is too high, you can spend money to hire my subordinates to protect you from the goods.If there is any mistake, I promise to compensate you for the loss. "

The establishment of an escort agency is also one of Hu Biao's plans.In Hu Biao's view, the newly recruited troops will be recruited from the old to the new, and the trained recruits will serve as bodyguards to accumulate practical experience in fighting bandits.

While making money, you can also learn more about the terrain in the Southwest, and provide more help for the follow-up troops to develop in the Southwest.As long as they are safely escorted a few times, I believe those vendors will also choose this kind of safe and guaranteed cooperation!

As an outsider, if Hu Biao wants to open up the situation in the southwest, he must win over a group of locals. --*--Fast update, no anti-theft----*---The relationship between the military and the government, Hu Biao thinks that it is not a big problem to give a certain benefit.On the contrary, the folks need to pay more attention.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world", even if Hu Biao never thought about the ambition of winning the world, he hoped to get the support of more southwest forces and people.And the caravan merchants in the southwest are undoubtedly the best partners.

It is said that businessmen seek profit. As long as Hu Biao gives a certain amount of profit to let these businessmen know the benefits of cooperation, Hu Biao believes that these businessmen will make wise choices.What's more, Hu Biao has the backing of a gun, and he is not afraid of threats and challenges.

Although the local forces in the Southwest are very xenophobic, but now with the full-scale invasion of the Japanese army, the whole country is united in the war of resistance.Coupled with the great help of the Guangxi faction, as long as the interests of local forces are not too involved, others will not be too repulsive.

After all, Shillong is just a strategic rear for Hu Biao.The place where Hu Biao really attacked has nothing to do with the various forces in the Southwest.Even if some people have concerns, the only people who have concerns are colonists such as Britain and France.

The most important thing is that Hu Biao will never personally come forward when it comes to expanding his power and territory.More often, he will win over the local local forces and let them act as pioneers to compete with the British and French colonists for their interests.

Hu Biao also heard in his previous life that compared to the hatred aroused by the Japanese army's invasion of China, the Japanese army's invasion of Southeast Asia was welcomed by many indigenous forces.The reason may have a lot to do with the unpopularity of the colonists.

For these indigenous forces, the invading Japanese army and the earlier countries such as Britain and France were actually colonial invaders.Now that the invaders are fighting each other, the native forces are naturally happy to watch the show, and they can even be valued more than before.

When Hu Biao was talking with Li Dacheng, in the backyard of the county government office after the banquet, seeing Zhu Chengzong who left drunk, Zhou Shuo, the former magistrate, said unwillingly: "This guy is very tight-lipped, and I really can't figure out where he came from. !"

The confidant standing beside Zhou Shuo said cautiously: "Master, are we really going to hand over the county government to others?"

"If you are not willing, what can you do? It is a letter of appointment issued by the two chiefs, Li and Bai. What's the use of my objection? I went to the Fucheng to ask for a visit to the Fuzun, and the Fuzun also clearly told me that this matter is basically over. It's a foregone conclusion."

"Then the goods we planted in the mountains will be harvested soon. --*--Update fast, no anti-theft--*---If you leave now, then the big deal we negotiated before , I’m afraid it will all go to waste! Many people are staring at this business!”

Faced with the worries expressed by his confidant, Zhou Shuo struggled a lot in his heart before saying: "Let's take a look first! We must not act rashly until we find out where these people came from. Go find Commander Xu and ask the barracks about it. How about over there!"

"Yes, magistrate!"

For local snakes like Zhou Shuo, the sudden appearance of Hu Biao and his party undoubtedly caught them by surprise.Although Shillong is located in a remote area, it also has an advantage, that is, the emperor is far away from the mountains, so there is no need to worry about leaking many things.

If you are poor, you want to change. In order to earn more wealth, Zhou Shuo and some local forces secretly planted a large amount of tobacco in Shillong.When it is harvested after maturity, a large amount of smoky soil can be produced, and a lot of wealth can naturally be earned.

Since the beginning of the Opium War, opium and opium have been banned repeatedly.Britain, France and others who are colonizing Southeast Asia at this moment are the culprits behind the dumping of opium.On the southwest side, smoke * soil is often equivalent to gold and silver currency.

The high return is the reason why smoking cannot be truly banned.As for Shillong, due to geographical and environmental reasons, it is more suitable for planting tobacco.Zhou Shuo, who is the magistrate, took the risk and cooperated with others to grow a lot of tobacco.

But no one expected that the higher-ups suddenly ordered the replacement of Shillong's military and political chief.Without protection, once the news of tobacco planting spreads, I am afraid that Li and Bai will not let them off easily.

After all, many people are aware of the harm caused by smoke and dirt, and a visionary boss will not let such corrosive things spread in his own territory.Even in many places in the Republic of China, this situation is very common.

In order to earn more wealth, those in power in many places will choose to ban it openly, but support it secretly, and make money by growing tobacco and selling tobacco.With money, there is territory, more troops can be expanded, and more weapons can be purchased.

Xu Wang, the head of the security regiment, found an excuse to leave the barracks and came to Zhou Shuo's home.Looking at the several military and political officials of the county government sitting at Zhou's house, Xu Wang also knew what was going to be discussed next, and it might not be a trivial matter.

Judging from the situation during the day, the new county magistrate Zhu Chengzong and the new security chief Qin Tianyou are probably not easy to mess with.If you really want to fight head-to-head, these local forces may not be able to get cheap.

Seeing Xu Wang who entered the door, Zhou Shuo, who was sitting in the main seat, also said directly: "What's the situation with you?"

Facing the questioning, Xu Wang smiled wryly and said, "That Qin guy is not a character to be easily provoked. Right now all the weapons of my troops have been confiscated. Although that guy hasn't done anything yet, I want to lead troops in the future. I'm afraid it's not very likely!"

"Those people under your command are so willing to hand in their guns?"

"What if we don't hand it over? Qin's subordinates have all kinds of tricks to gather us together. If we really don't want to hand it over, we can only fight them desperately. Unless we really choose to rebel, we can only temporarily hand over our weapons.

Fortunately, I have transferred [-] rifles and a batch of bullets to the mountains before.As long as the people are drawn out of the city, they should be armed in no time.However, if we really do that, then we can only completely tear ourselves apart from them. "

After receiving instructions from Shangfeng, Zhou Shuo and Xu Wang also made some preparations in advance.It was Zhou Shuo's idea that the county government's treasury became empty, and even the account books were in deficit.There is only one purpose, to take the opportunity to get more money.

As for the extra guns, Xu Wang picked them out in advance.In order to avoid being held accountable by the new regiment leader, Xu Wang also kept some unusable weapons in the ammunition depot.Xu Wang hid the really good guns and a batch of bullets in advance.

The alternation of old and new forces will inevitably lead to a new round of confrontation.As local local snakes, both Zhou Shuo and Xu Wang regard Xillong as their own one-acre land.Now that this land is occupied by others, how can they be willing?

"Let's talk about it! What should we do now? Judging by their posture, it might not be easy for us to win over. If we give less, they will definitely not want to. If we give more, we will get less. This We must come up with an idea as soon as possible!"

As the actual controller of Shillong, Zhou Shuo was very unwilling to hand over Shillong to others.But he also understood that if he really turned his face completely, Xilong might not have a place for him.How could Li and Bai tolerate someone who beat Li and Bai?

Everyone was silent for a while, and soon said again: "Master, do you want to ask what the higher-ups mean? We dare not deny the face of the two officers, Li and Bai, but the two officers are not here right now. There are some people here. They may not be able to manage things even if they want to.

As long as the above agrees, let's ask the other masters what they mean, see if we can join forces, and find a way to get rid of each other.Everyone knows that our land is not peaceful, isn't it normal for something to happen? "

If you want to cheat the world and exchange the planted things for money, you naturally need a corresponding partner.It is undoubtedly more appropriate to describe Zhou Shuo and others as collusion between officials and businessmen at this moment.Eating food alone will not last long!

"Okay, I'll send someone to ask about the meaning of the Fu Zun, and I will also send someone to deliver letters to the heads of the family. Xu Wang, don't act rashly here, and try to cooperate with the other side these two days. It's just that your subordinates must be restrained by me. good.

If you really want to take the risk, you must kill all these outsiders in the shortest possible time.If one of them escapes, none of us will have good fruit to eat.Even if the higher authorities will investigate, we will still have time to deal with the aftermath! "

Unwilling to hand over the benefits that are about to be obtained to others, Zhou Shuo and his party finally decided to take action and kill Qin Tianyou and others who came to seize power.In their view, Xillong was their territory, and it should not be difficult to kill Qin Tianyou and others.

Even though Qin Tianyou's subordinates looked tough, Zhou Shuo and the others also had helpers.Several forces joined forces, and Zhou Shuo felt that he should have a chance of winning if he killed Qin Tianyou and other outsiders.Block the news at that time, let's wait for a while.

Wait until the goods in your hand are cleaned up, and then manage them up and down when you have money, and push this matter to the bandits. Even if the two officers, Li and Bai, pursue it, and other partners ask for help, they will not suffer too much. punishment.
