Chapter 298 The King of Taihu Lake
"Master Meng!"
Mi Zilang stood in front of Meng Shaoyuan and bowed deeply: "Mr. Meng, we finally waited until you summoned us."
"Sit down." Meng Shaoyuan pointed to the side and asked him to sit down: "How is the current situation of the Taihu Militia?"
"The militia has grown to now, with a total of 278 members, fully equipped with weapons, and specially hired instructors to train them." Yone Zilang quickly reported: "Now, we are fighting with Little Japan, and the brothers are all ready.
The battlefield and little Japan’s life-threatening preparations.”
"What kind of battlefield are you going to go to?" Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette: "The frontal battlefield is a matter for professional soldiers. However, you must be prepared for guerrilla warfare, Mi Zilang."
"arrive."
"From now on, the famous Taihu regiment will be renamed the 'Taihu Guerrilla Brigade of the Military Command Armed Rangers', with you as the captain."
"yes!"
"Yonzilang, your mission is to look for opportunities and observe the movements of Japanese warships. But this is not the main thing. There is a fierce battle between China and Japan in Shanghai. Once Shanghai is lost, the Japanese army will return to Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places to invade." Meng Shaoyuan's expression
Ding Jing: "You need to lead the guerrillas and continue to harass and attack the Japanese troops so that they will not be able to live in peace for a day. When that day comes, how are you going to fight?"
Mi Zilang thought about it for a moment: "Learn from Xue Sanqiang."
"How to learn?"
"I will lead the militia...guerrilla brothers in Suzhou, Changzhou, Wuxi and other places to constantly harass the Japanese. We will retreat to Taihu Lake with one shot. Can the Japanese warships still sail to Taihu Lake to capture people?"
Us? Even if we really drive in, who else is more familiar with Taihu Lake than us? The Japanese can’t catch us, so they are tired and withdraw. We will go out of Taihu Lake and continue to fight them!"
sure.
Isn’t this the essence of guerrilla warfare?
Meng Shaoyuan gave a few words of praise.
Mi Zilang then said: "Master Meng, Zilang has one more thing to report to you. Zilang was originally a scholar, but he became a bandit and embarrassed the Mi family. It is said that my Mi family is a descendant of Mi Fu. Hey
...The surname Mi is really rare. If someone traces my ancestry in the future and finds out that I have been a bandit, it will be very embarrassing... Therefore, Zilang also changed his name. No matter life or death, he will never be with the Mi family again.
It doesn’t matter.”
What kind of weird temper is this?
Meng Shaoyuan didn't care either: "What name are you going to change?"
"My mother's surname is Wang, and I want to follow my mother's surname. I have listened to Grandpa Yue's books since I was a child and have always admired Grandpa Yue. Now that China and Japan are at war, it is even more important to serve the country with loyalty, so I want to change it to 'Wang Jingzhong'."
"Oh...ah? What's your name?" Meng Shaoyuan shouted fiercely.
Mi Zilang was shocked: "I...Wang Jingzhong..."
"Your name is Wang Jingzhong?" Meng Shaoyuan stared at him, as if looking at the rarest thing.
The military unified the Armed Rangers, later renamed the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.
Then, Yonzilang's armed forces will also be renamed the "Guerrilla Brigade of the Loyalty and Salvation Army".
Later, the guerrillas were reorganized and reorganized. In order to intimidate the Japanese army and exaggerate the number of resisters, these brigade captains were all renamed commanders.
Commander of the Taihu Guerrilla Brigade of the Loyalty and Salvation Army:
Wang Jingzhong!
The King of Taihu——Wang Jingzhong!
Xiao Yan once told himself that in Jiangyin, there was a legendary figure, Wang Jingzhong, known as the "King of Taihu Lake". He commanded the guerrillas and rampaged across Taihu Lake. The Japanese invaders occupied Wuxi and Jiangyin and repeatedly encircled and suppressed Wang Jingzhong's guerrillas, but each time they failed.
They returned in vain, but many people died.
Later, there was an uprising of 30,000 people by the "Japanese Communists" in Wuxi, and Wang Jingzhong took the lead in leading troops to rush to the rescue. Although the uprising ultimately failed, it still boosted the morale of Wuxi and surrounding cities and inspired their determination to resist to the end.
Later, when the Japanese army wanted to transport supplies on Taihu Lake, they had to pay protection fees to Wang Jingzhong.
Is the Mi Zilang in front of me the later King of Taihu?
Meng Shaoyuan was almost stunned.
I have found a treasure.
This guy is not only unscrupulous on Taihu Lake, he is also incredibly lucky.
Several times the Japanese clearly wanted to catch him, but they always managed to let him escape by some strange combination of circumstances.
There is also an unknown true or false story. It is said that once Wang Jingzhong went to Wuxi and was betrayed. The Japanese army immediately organized manpower to prepare for arrest. But when they were about to set off, the Japanese commander probably ate something bad and got acute gastroenteritis.
Or something like that, I have vomiting and diarrhea, so I can only appoint another commander.
As a result, this was a waste of time. When we arrived at the place, Wang Jingzhong had already left.
People at that time were superstitious. Common people said that Wang Jingzhong had received guidance from an expert and that the expert had given him an amulet, but no one could do anything to him.
But this guy was really lucky and lived until the end of the Anti-Japanese War.
As for his whereabouts?
No one knows, but he disappeared as soon as the Anti-Japanese War ended.
Some people say that he lived in seclusion, others said that he went abroad incognito.
After that, there was no whereabouts of King Taihu.
Meng Shao originally thought this was just a legend, but now, the King of Taihu was standing in front of him alive.
"Mr. Meng, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Meng Shaoyuan's appearance, Mi Zilang was a little scared.
"Ah, it's nothing." Meng Shaoyuan came back to his senses: "Mi... No, Wang Jingzhong, you will be called Wang Jingzhong from now on... Okay, very good, very good. I will leave the guerrillas to you, lead them well.
...Well, I have transferred you and a few brothers to Shanghai this time because I have something to do for you..."
Originally, Meng Shaoyuan estimated that this mission would require a lot of manpower, but the various teams of the military command were struggling with the Japanese army and could not mobilize more personnel, so they temporarily transferred people from Wuxi.
Meng Shaoyuan hadn't figured out how to use them before, but his conversation with Du Yuesheng already gave him a detailed plan.
He told Wang Jingzhong part of his plan, and Wang Jingzhong listened very carefully: "I understand, Master Meng, leave it to me, I guarantee success."
Well, there is no need to worry about Wang Jingzhong. For the rest, in order for this plan to succeed, there is one person who is particularly important.
When he thought of this person, Meng Shaoyuan touched his wallet distressedly...
…
"Ah! my dear Charles!"
As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan appearing in front of him, Daniel, the police chief of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, immediately stood up and gave Meng Shaoyuan a warm hug: "I haven't seen him for so long. I really miss me."
Fuck, you missed me?
Do you want the money in my pocket?
"Mr. Director, I miss you very much too."
In Daniel's eyes, every time Meng Shaoyuan appears, he is what the Chinese call the God of Wealth.
Those are all banknotes flying in the sky.
Daniel poured him a glass of wine: "Charles, the Chinese and Japanese are at war, but the public concession is still safe. Do you need me to provide you with protection? No matter what kind of protection is fine, it only requires a little money.
That’s it.”
I am the eighteenth generation of your ancestors.
Meng Shaoyuan cursed in his heart: "Mr. Director, I don't need protection yet, but I do need your help this time."
As soon as he heard about "Help", Daniel immediately became excited and knew that it was time to make money again.
"Look, Mr. Director, your term of office is coming soon and you are about to return to China. I think you will make a lot of money before returning to China." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "So, I brought you a
Being in Shanghai may be your last chance to make a fortune."
"I like you, Charles, tell me, what kind of dangerous plan is it?"
Daniel is not a fool. He knows that the more money he makes, the more difficult things he has to do will become more difficult.
Meng Shaoyuan slowly said what he wanted him to do.
Daniel listened, his brows knitted together, and after a while he said: "Charles, you are simply fantasizing about this matter, you are really a madman. Okay, I promise you I can do it if you want me to
Something to do, but it requires a lot of money. After all, there are a lot of people to take care of.”
"Make an offer!"
"Two hundred thousand dollars!"
"Are you crazy? Do you know what kind of huge sum of money this is? No, fifty thousand, at most fifty thousand US dollars!"
"Do you think this thing is easy? Do you know how many people are involved? In this way, considering that we are good friends, 190,000 US dollars cannot be less."
"You and I are good friends and partners. I'll add another ten thousand dollars."
Therefore, a dignified police chief of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau and a director of the military command were like hawkers in the vegetable market, constantly haggling over the price.
An hour later, due to excessive exertion, excessive mental stress, and spitting, the two people, who were pale-faced and dry-mouthed, finally reached a number agreed upon by both parties:
One hundred and twenty-three thousand dollars.
Why is there an extra three thousand dollars?
Because on the basis of 120,000 yuan, the noble Director Daniel must add transportation expenses, banquet expenses, and the wear and tear of his own shoes.
"Ah, it's such a pleasure to work with you."
Daniel was very happy and opened a bottle of good wine: "We should celebrate."
Meng Shaoyuan felt so distressed, 120,000 US dollars.
No, you can't pay this money yourself.
You have to peel off layers of skin from Yao Muqing.
Dai Li's request was to bring Yao Muqing alive to Nanjing. He didn't say anything else?
Blackmail is Master Meng's specialty.
Meng Shaoyuan wrote a check: "This is a deposit of fifty thousand dollars. Mr. Director, you are so greedy. You can only spend twenty thousand dollars on this money at most, and the rest will be yours."
It went in my pocket."
Daniel collected the check and said beautifully: "Don't complain, my friend. You said it yourself, this is my last chance to make big money in China. Ah, as a report to you, before I return to China,
I will introduce you to the new Commissioner of Police."
Well, this sentence sounds reasonable.
I will definitely go to the public concessions frequently for activities in the future. The departure of a money-hungry police commissioner is really not particularly beneficial to my subsequent activities.
Chapter completed!
