Chapter 33: Letter from Zhang Muzhi

  Two days later.

 “The patriarch Zhang Heng’s personal message.”

“I’m sorry for your concern. Everything is going well for me in Goose City. Huang Silang won’t be able to stay with the four major families for long.”

"The five hundred people you sent were left behind because of my brother. You don't know that Xiao Liuzi, who received your letter, was so happy that he didn't sleep all night last night. He kept pulling me to ask me what to do.

Lead the team."

 “To be honest, as an uncle, you look up to Xiao Liuzi too much.”

"How can he be the deputy commander? If you ask me, he can't even be the platoon leader."

"But don't worry, Liuzi is my son. I will help him if he doesn't understand and won't let him lead the team away."

“In addition, there is something else I want to tell you. I think there is great potential for the four-county joint guarantee you mentioned.”

“As long as I’m here in Goose City, there will definitely be no trouble.”

“Besides, I have already had a showdown with Lao Tang. He is indeed not Master Tang, but Ma Bond.”

“And he told me that he actually did not come to Echeng to take office, but to Kangcheng.”

 “Echeng is dangerous, but Kangcheng is rich.”

“I have returned the letter of appointment to Kangcheng County Magistrate and asked him to leave Kangcheng and take office calmly.”

“Before Lao Ma left, he also promised that he would be responsible for the joint guarantee of the four counties.”

"The Kangcheng where he is located is next to Macau. It has a unique geographical location and can be of great help. I also want to ask you if there are people over there. If there are, send him a few hundred people. Otherwise, as the county magistrate, he has no soldiers.

Kang Cheng is probably a puppet too, he doesn’t even fart loudly.”

 “Looking forward to getting together, Zhang Muzhi left a letter...”

 Zhang Heng couldn't stop smiling as he read the letter.

“Sure enough, everything is planned by man and accomplished by God. When you are lucky, God will help you.”

 Zhang Heng handed the letter to Zhang Zhentian.

Zhang Zhentian looked at it and said happily: "Mabond went to Cannes. So, Cancheng will also be ours from now on?"

After saying that, he put down the envelope and said: "For the four-county joint protection plan, the only thing left is Rongcheng. Once Rongcheng is acquired, the four counties can support 10,000 troops. When Commissioner Song comes down, it will not be a brigade commander who can speak

No matter what, you have to be a division commander, or even a corps commander."

 At this point, Zhang Zhentian raised his hand to Zhang Hengyi and said, "Congratulations to the patriarch, great things have been accomplished!"

Zhang Heng smiled and waved his hand, and simply said: "I am happy because the passage to Macao has been opened. If something happens in the future, my Zhang family can move to Macao as a retreat."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heng sighed: "I keep thinking about the next ten, twenty, thirty, or even fifty years."

“Think about what will be the way out and the future if things change one day.”

 “As for myself, I’m not worried.”

“But I have to worry about you. You call me clan leader and follow me wholeheartedly. I have to leave a way for you.”

"Now..."

Zhang Heng took out a map of the Southern Kingdom and pointed to Macao on the map: "This is the retreat I have found for the Zhang family."

 “Chief, what about Aquarius Mountain?”

 Zhang Zhentian whispered: "We have also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Aquarius Mountain."

“Leave that place to others in Dagou Town.”

“There is more than one surname of our Zhang family in Dagou Town. If there are changes in the future that are beyond human control, we want to move to Men’ao. Can people with other surnames follow us?”

“No, as the head of the Zhang family, I can only manage my own family well.”

"Leave Aquarius Mountain to them, I don't know, they can use it."

Zhang Heng took a breath and said seriously: "Pass me an order to transfer another 500 people from the first regiment, with Zhang Xiaokui as the leader, and go to Kangcheng to stand in line for Magistrate Ma. Again, I ordered that the first regiment be stationed in Yangjiang and stationed in Echeng.

The second regiment and the third regiment stationed in Cannes will recruit troops respectively. For each regiment, I will recruit 2,000 people. I will give money to others and people to others. In a word, I will quickly grow the team."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heng warned: "To ensure loyalty, the four-level officers of battalion, company, platoon and squad can only be appointed by people named Zhang. For outsiders, they will be given deputy positions at most in a short period of time. Do you understand?"

?”

"clear."

Zhang Zhentian nodded at first, and then hesitated: "Clan leader, is Xiaokui too young? He is not yet twenty. Can he convince the crowd by making him the leader?"

"Why not?"

"You have to understand that our army is not an army in the orthodox sense, but a clan private army."

“The officers below are all named Zhang. Their gun skills were taught by Xiao Kui’s father. If they don’t accept it, each of them has only had enough to eat for a few days. If they don’t accept it, they come to me. I’ll see which bastard dares.”

 Zhang Heng slapped the table hard.

 The next few days.

 With the exchange of letters, one group turned into three groups.

 Zhang Zhenhu, Zhang Muzhi, and Zhang Xiaokui were the regiment leaders respectively, guarding the three counties of Yangjiang, Echeng, and Kangcheng. The three counties were integrated into one line.

At the same time, Zhang Heng began to buy land again. In half a month, he bought 30,000 acres of fertile land in four counties and began to plant high-yielding grain seeds he brought from modern times.

On the other hand, he also started to buy shops and open grain stores.

 In today's troubled times, food is a hard currency that can be equated with gold. With food in hand, there are so many things that can be done.

  As for setting up a factory, he is also planning carefully.

Yangjiang and other places are not rich in minerals. Iron factories, steel plants, and arsenals are definitely out of business.

 It is not reliable to use current technology to produce penicillin.

  Put aside things a little further, penicillin was an epoch-making product as soon as it came out.

Even if he has three armies, not to mention he only has three regiments, he probably won’t be able to keep the technical formula of penicillin. This will lead to a dead end and make wedding clothes for others in vain.

 Finally, think things through.

 Zhang Heng finally knew what he should produce.

 Nylon stockings.

In 1937, a chemist at Du Bang Company accidentally discovered that a mixture of coal tar, air and water melted at high temperatures and could pull out a hard, wear-resistant, thin and flexible filament, which was later known as

The nylon fiber that led the trend of stockings.

  The first batch of nylon stockings went on sale on May 5, 1940, with more than 70,000 pairs sold on the first day.

 In the later period of the Anti-Japanese War, when the South asked for supplies from the United States, they clearly marked three major items: stockings, cigars, and hair cream.

There was a saying circulating at that time.

 Those who don’t have stockings and cigars can’t resist the war.

Without these few things, we can't fight the war. How strong is the need?

 “Everyone has two arms and two legs.”

 “My right hand is Taoism, and my left hand is militia.”

“The right leg is the fertile fields and grain stores, and the left leg is the factory.”

 “It’s even easier to have a backer. In terms of cultivating Taoism, I have Maoshan as my backing.”

“In addition, there is a portal as a support, and I can return to reality at any time when I encounter danger. Who the hell am I afraid of? I am not even afraid of my wife... Well, I don’t have a wife.”

 Think of this.

Before Zhang Heng could think any more, Grandma Sun knocked on the door: "Sir, Master Xu sent someone to send a message and asked you to come over in the evening."
