When Xu Dalong heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes at them and said, "Aren't you making things difficult for me? I really don't know where else I can go to sell the coal."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang ignored Xu Dalong and continued to discuss how to expand production.
Xu Dalong was forced to find ways to expand the sales of coal.
Xu Dalong thought about it for a whole night and couldn't think of any other way.
At breakfast the next day, Li Yunlong said somewhat mysteriously: "Brother Dalong, I have thought of a way for you."
Xu Dalong asked: "What can we do?"
Li Yunlong said: "After our coal is produced, we will sell it to the little devils. If they dare not take it, we will beat them."
Zhao Gang felt that what Li Yunlong said was unreliable, so he said: "Old Li, aren't you just fooling around? How could you sell it to the Japanese?"
Xu Dalong's eyes lit up after hearing Li Yunlong's words, and he smiled and said: "Commander, don't tell me, you have a really good idea! Okay, I know what to do. Just wait for my good news."
Lingao City.
After Yan Guiwu received the telegram from Xu Dalong, he felt that this guy was really whimsical. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.
So, he drove to the division headquarters guarding the 32nd Division.
In the office, Qianye Xunyi asked nervously: "Yan Sang, why did you come here? Is it the news about Xu Dalong?"
Yan Guiwu said: "Your Majesty, Division Commander, there is one thing I must report to you. This matter is really related to Xu Dalong."
Hearing this, Chiba Xunyi became more and more nervous. He said: "What are they doing there?"
Yan Guiwu said: "Xu Dalong's people captured one of my men and put him back. He brought me a message, saying that the coal mines in Mawu Mountain produced a lot of coal and were eager to find a market. Huang Xiejun asked us to
We help them sell coal in our security area. If we don't agree to their request, we will send troops to attack Lingao City. How dare I agree to this? So I came to report to you quickly."
"Xu Dalong bullied others too much on Bageya Road." Qianye Xunyi roared angrily.
Being angry, Qianye Xunyi also knew that if this matter was not handled well, Xu Dalong would probably send troops to fight. Thinking about Ma Wushan's terrifying combat power, his heart went crazy.
He asked his adjutant to call the chief of staff and discuss with Yan Guiwu how to resolve the matter.
After hearing this, the chief of staff was not as angry as Chiba Xunyi, but felt relieved in his heart.
He said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, if you don't agree to Xu Dalong's request, he will definitely send troops to attack us. My opinion is to accept his request. Xu Dalong is very trustworthy and we can do business with him."
The exchanges between each other will prevent us from fighting each other in the future. Isn’t this the result we expect?”
Chiba Xunyi actually thought about it this way. He was just worried that others would make a fuss about this matter. After all, doing business with the anti-Japanese armed forces was a crime of collaborating with the enemy.
The chief of staff said: "As long as we don't come forward and send people to do it quietly, if something happens, we won't be found."
Having said this, he winked at Qianye Xunyi, meaning to ask Yan Guiwu to do this, so that if something happened, there would be a scapegoat.
As soon as Qianye Xun understood what he meant, he said to Yan Guiwu: "Yan Sang, Xu Dalong's troops are strong now, and it will be very troublesome to fight him. Why don't you agree to his request, do this coal business with him, and leave this matter to us?"
Made for you."
Yan Guiwu pretended to be shocked and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, this is a crime of collaborating with the enemy. I don't have the courage to do this in a humble position!"
Qianye Xunyi said: "Yan Sang, I trust you very much. I believe you must have a way to solve this matter. You can also not come forward directly and find an agent to handle this matter secretly. Huang Jun will not pursue it.
That's it for you. Don't worry, if there is any problem, I will make the decision for you."
Yan Guiwu said tremblingly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, thank you for your trust in me. I will go through fire and water for you. But if anyone pursues me, please make the decision for me, Division Commander."
Qianye Xunyi patted him on the shoulder and said: "Yan Sang, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Once things are done, I won't treat you badly."
Yan Guiwu reluctantly said: "Okay, I'll take care of this matter."
After leaving Qianye Xunyi's office, Yan Guiwu felt so happy.
In the past, he did business with Xu Dalong secretly, fearing that Qianye Xunyi would definitely kill him if he found out. Now that he is doing business with Xu Dalong, Qianye Xunyi has personally approved it, so he can do it without any scruples from now on.
Not only do you no longer have to worry about doing business with the guerrillas, you can also get a lot of benefits from it. It's hard to be happy or unhappy with such a result.
After arriving at the division headquarters, he said to Wang Shuhuai: "Xu Dalong is really a good guy. He has taken care of everything. Qianye Xunyi has agreed, and I will leave this matter to you."
Wang Shuhuai was very happy and said: "This is really great. To be honest, I was always on tenterhooks in the past. Sometimes I would have nightmares when I slept. I dreamed that the Japanese army had discovered me and wanted to shoot me. When I woke up, my head was covered with blood.
It was cold sweat. It feels better now. My heart is finally at ease and I will never have nightmares again."
Wang Shuhuai arranged for some local people to set up a coal company specifically responsible for purchasing coal from Mawu Mountain and selling it to the areas controlled by the 32nd Division.
Yan Guiwu obtained Chiba Xunyi's consent and not only sold coal from Mawu Mountain in more than a dozen counties, including Lingao City, but also purchased all the coal used by the Japanese and Huang Xiejun troops from there. Of course,
Yan Guiwu and the others also distributed part of the money they earned from it to Qianye Xunyi and the chief of staff.
As expected, Xu Dalong kept his word and did not send troops to harass the area controlled by the 32nd Division. Qianye Xunyi was very satisfied with this matter and allowed Yan Guiwu to continue doing business with Xu Dalong confidently and boldly.
After this good start, the life of the Mawushan base has become even better. Through the secret operations of Yan Guiwu and Wang Shuhuai, they can not only help Mawushan sell coal, but also help the base purchase grain, medicine, salt, cloth, etc.
supplies.
Of course, Xu Dalong also accepted the lesson from the last time Wang Huaiming made trouble for him. He convened a leadership committee in the base area and drafted a document to report the matter in detail. The members of the leadership committee were Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, and Zhao Gang.
Everyone else signed it.
Zhao Gang took this document and made a special trip to the Taihang Mountain base area to report to the commander.
After listening to Zhao Gang's report, the commander affirmed Ma Wushan's approach, saying that the organization believed in their loyalty, and that as long as it was beneficial to the war against Japan, they should be free to do it.
The commander is also a very cautious person. He knows that this matter can easily be caught by others and make a fuss about it.
So he also went to the headquarters in person and reported the practices of the Mawushan base area to the heads of the headquarters.
The head of the headquarters said with emotion: "Xu Dalong and the others really have a way. I think this matter is worthy of promotion."
The chief of staff shook his head and said: "Let's stop this matter here. There are some things that Xu Dalong and others can do, but others may not be able to do it."
The division commander agreed with the chief of staff's opinion and said: "Mawushan has always been special. Let them do this. It is best not to let others know."
The boss said: "It would be great if there were more people like Xu Dalong among my subordinates."
The summer harvest has begun.
The Mawushan Military Division organized guerrillas, the New First Brigade, the Independent Brigade, and members of the county brigade to help the people harvest crops, which won praise from the people. They rushed to sell the grain to the military division, and the task of purchasing summer grain was completed.
It went very smoothly.
Since too much grain was purchased, the original warehouse could not store it at all, so Zhao Gang organized the logistics department to transport a large amount of grain to the mountains and store it in caves.
Since transporting grain to the mountains is really inconvenient and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, several large grain storage warehouses were built in Guancheng County, Ping'an County and Yinping County to increase the storage capacity.
That day Zhao Gang came to Xu Dalong and said: "Captain, the Mawushan base needs to supply a total of 44,000 people. Calculated at 30 kilograms per person per month, the annual consumption is 19.4 million kilograms. Now Xia Liang has purchased 2,400 kilograms
Ten thousand pounds, so it is absolutely guaranteed.
I suggest that we stop purchasing grain, and that we replenish the grain consumed before the autumn harvest during the autumn harvest, and always maintain a reserve of more than one year."
Xu Dalong shook his head and said: "It's still too little. You only considered the food consumption of our troops and agencies. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, what will happen to the people in the base area? What should we do if the troops in other places need our support?
"
Zhao Gang said: "The weather has been good this year, and every household has a surplus of food. Now we don't need our troops to bear the burden. The troops in other places naturally have their own methods. We purchase too much food, which not only takes up a lot of funds, but also requires a lot of storage."
Difficult. I think one year's reserves are enough."
Xu Dalong said: "I read Shanxi's local chronicles, and there is a major drought every 11 years. Next year will be a multiple of 11, and there is a high probability of a major drought. We must prepare in advance to be prepared. Funding issues
Let me solve it, and the problem of grain storage is not a problem.
Let's do this, don't store all the grain together, assign the tasks to each county, and then hand it over to each village, especially those villages with tunnels. The grain purchased locally will be handed over to the local grassroots organizations for storage in the future.
Wherever our troops go, they can receive food stamps directly."
Zhao Gang said: "This is a really good idea. It not only solves the storage problem, but also facilitates the use of the troops. Captain, you have many ideas. Then I will arrange this matter."
Zhou Mingde received Xu Dalong's telegram and began to buy grain on a large scale. Although he didn't know why he wanted to buy so much grain, he believed that Xu Dalong's request to do so must have his own intentions.
So he issued instructions to branches distributed in various counties and purchased a large amount of grain locally.
On this day, Xu Dalong received a telegram from General Fu and immediately handed the telegram to Zhao Gang.
After Zhao Gang read it, he was very excited and immediately went to the airport to arrange for the plane to take off to support the Guo army's troops in combat.
It turned out that in order to make money, Xu Dalong specially called General Fu and asked him to help contact the troops in the Ninth War Zone. During the war, as long as they gave money, the air force could be sent to support them in the battle.
General Fu was concerned about this matter. It happened that the Japanese army was attacking the 72nd Army of the Guo Army in Sangcheng. The Mawushan Air Force's flight radius could just cover that place, so he got in touch with them.
The 72nd Army agreed to pay and ask the Mawushan guerrilla air force to help.
This time, the Mawushan guerrilla air force dispatched 26 bombers. Excluding the consumption of fuel, ammunition, and wartime subsidies for combatants, he made a net profit of 60,000 oceans.
In order to keep the business going for a long time, Xu Dalong gave 20,000 yuan to General Fu as a favor fee.
Xu Dalong discussed with him to build an airstrip on Zhongtiao Mountain. General Fu would help undertake the task of air force support operations. Everyone would share the benefits.
General Fu was very interested in this matter and discussed it with the Ninth War Zone. They did have many combat missions that required air force support, and they were willing to pay.
At this point, General Fu began to build an airport in Zhongtiao Mountain.
The reason why General Fu did this was not only to make money. The most important thing was that if there was an airstrip in Zhongtiao Mountain, the air force of the Mahu Mountain guerrillas could take off directly from them and support the troops in Zhongtiao Mountain.
, in this way, the time consumed by long-distance flights can be avoided, and air support can be provided to troops on the ground in a timely manner.
Bob and others are mercenaries, and they were originally there to make money. Now that there are no big battles to fight in the Mawushan base area, and they have no extra money to make, they are naturally not satisfied. Therefore, they are particularly concerned about Xu Dalong's approach of going out to get work.
Support and be highly motivated when going out to fight.
The troops of the Guo Army have tasted the benefits of having air force support in combat. As long as conditions permit, they will contact Ma Wushan through General Fu. In this way, on average, there will be an opportunity for the air force to dispatch almost once a month, and every time it is less important to say
It can bring in tens of thousands of dollars in income.

In this era, oceans are hard currency. One ocean can buy 30 kilograms of rice, and 45 kilograms to 50 kilograms of sorghum and corn.
Xu Dalong and others continued to hoard grain. After the summer harvest alone, the grain stored in Mawu Mountain Base reached 64 million kilograms.
