cpa300_4; When the independent brigade was hiding in Damei Mountain for training, the little devils were not idle either. Watch
After capturing Nanjing, the Central China Front Army immediately mobilized two divisions, and the troops were divided into two groups and marched northward along the canal and Jinpu Railway to cope with the North China Front Army moving south. However, when they advanced to the Huaihe River line, they were met with tenacious
They resisted and fought hard for more than a month but could not make any progress.
At this time, Little Japan's logistics support capabilities were somewhat unable to keep up.
In terms of weapons and ammunition, Japan's industrial manufacturing capabilities are quite strong, at least several orders of magnitude better than those of China at the time, so the supply of weapons and ammunition is still sufficient.
However, grain, cotton and other materials cannot be produced by factories, but must be grown by farmers. If the national treasury is still sufficient, the Japanese government can also purchase grain from overseas. But the problem is that after the Sino-Japanese war broke out, the Japanese government's
The national treasury has been exhausted. In order to support the war of aggression against China, the Japanese government has issued national bonds twice in a row. Even the private financial resources have been almost exhausted.
In the words of then Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumima, if the incident in China cannot be fully resolved within half a year and the Chinese government cannot be forced to surrender, the Japanese government will declare bankruptcy.
This is of course an exaggeration, and Konoe Fumima was deliberately complaining. However, it is undeniable that the Japanese government's finances were indeed extremely tight at that time. This was also the end of 1938 when the Japanese invaders could not
The main reason for not stopping the frontal attack.
Under this situation, the Japanese government simply could not afford to continue to support the millions of troops on the Chinese battlefield! Therefore, the Japanese Army Ministry issued an order, ordering the Kwantung Army, the North China Front Army, and the Central China Front Army to find ways to provide food and clothing supplies on their own.
, the War Department is only responsible for the supply of weapons and ammunition.
The orders issued by the Japanese Army Ministry were broken down and passed down layer by layer.
The final amount sent to Pu County is 500,000 catties, and must be paid in full within one month.
After receiving the order, Kameda Ichiro, commander of the Kame Prefecture Military Police, immediately broke down the quota of 500,000 jins. The final quota assigned to Meizhen was 200,000 jins, and the amount was paid within half a month.
Pu County has three towns and six townships under its jurisdiction. Among them, Meizhen is a traditional grain-producing town. Because the Dameishan Basin surrounded by Damei Mountain has fertile land and extremely convenient irrigation, its annual output can account for almost all of the county's cotton grain.
half of the output, and it is precisely because they own ten thousand acres of fertile land in the Dameishan Basin that the Huang family is qualified to become the first household in Pu County.
After receiving the call from Kameda Ichiro, Meizhen Maintenance Chairman Huang Shixun immediately sent someone to call Huang Shouyi, Huang Shouzhi's two sons, and the housekeeper Huang Delu to discuss countermeasures.
Frankly speaking, Huang Shixun actually didn't want to be the chairman of the maintenance committee, but he couldn't resist Huang Shouyi's repeated persuasion. In addition, two months ago, a squadron of Japanese soldiers entered Meizhen. Under Japanese pressure, Huang Shixun had no choice but to agree.
At the request of Kameda Ichiro, he served as the maintaining president.
In front of his two sons and the housekeeper Huang Delu, Huang Shixun knocked the table leg hard twice with his cigarette pipe, and said with a dark face: "I'm just saying, I'm just saying, how can the Japanese be so easy to take advantage of?"
Yes? It’s easy to come here without any trouble, two hundred thousand catties of grain, good guy, the Japanese really dare to open their mouths.”
Huang Delu also said: "The Japanese are too unreasonable. They don't take care of themselves. Every household can't live without rent. Where can we get the surplus food to pay to the Japanese? Master, we can't agree to this. We have to
Otherwise, this will drive the villagers to death and have their spines stabbed."
Huang Delu is telling the truth. Spring has just begun, which is the most difficult time for the poor tenant farmers. Even those well-off families with good financial resources may not have a few kilograms of food left at home. According to the Japanese, Meizhen
We need to pay 200,000 jins of grain to 2,000 households in Meizhen, so if it is divided equally into each household, it will be 100 jins! This is life-threatening!
Huang Shouzhi was a loser. He spread his hands and said, "But the Japanese have already spoken. How can we not comply? Otherwise, dad, our family will be able to afford all these 200,000 kilograms of grain."
"Fart!" Huang Shixun was furious when he heard this, and hit Huang Shouzhi on the head with a brass pipe, while cursing, "I also saved my food hard, it was not blown by the strong wind.
Why should I pay for those mud-legged people?"
Huang Shouzhi quickly dodged and said with a grimace: "Just say it, dad, how can you do it?"
Huang Shouyi also hurriedly stepped forward to hold Huang Shixun, while reprimanding Huang Shouzhi: "Third brother, you see what a bad idea you came up with. You made dad so angry. Hurry up and make amends to dad."
Huang Shouzhi then flattened his lips and said, "Dad, isn't it okay if I'm wrong? Don't be as knowledgeable as me."
"Sooner or later, I will make you angry to death." Huang Shixun cursed, but the anger in his heart became much smoother.
Huang Shouyi helped Huang Shixun sit back on the Grand Master's chair, and said: "Dad, although the fourth child's words are not pleasant to listen to, the first half of what he said is also correct. The Japanese have spoken, and I'm afraid we won't be able to do it if we don't do it. These twenty
Tens of thousands of kilograms of grain, whether it’s robbing or deceiving, you have to find a way to collect it.”
"That's easy to say, grab it? Someone has to have it!" Huang Shixun said, "But second-in-command, take a look at it, except for a few houses in the town, which one has surplus food?"
Huang Shouyi said: "They don't have it, but our family does."
"Second brother, you are angry with me too, right?" Huang Shixun became a little angry again.
"Dad, please listen to what I have to say." Huang Shouyi said, "This food is not given to our family for free, it is borrowed. Every household has to use the land deed as a mortgage. If the rent is not paid by autumn, then their
Tian Ke belongs to our family."
Huang Delu became anxious when he heard this. This was what he was most afraid of. He immediately said to Huang Shixun: "Master, we can't do this. We, fellow countrymen, can't push big guys to a dead end. Besides, our family does this.
, In fact, they are taking the blame for the Japanese. The folks don’t know what is going on and will not blame the Japanese. Instead, they will only scold our family for not leaving any room for things, sir..."
Huang Shouyi's expression immediately turned cold. He looked at Huang Delu coldly and said in a quiet voice: "Uncle Delu, you are still not the housekeeper of our old Huang family. Why are you talking to those mud-legged people?"
Huang Delu ignored Huang Shouyi and continued to persuade Huang Shixun: "Master, we have to leave room for work, and we can't dry up the lake to fish, killing the chicken to get the eggs."
"Well, Delu, what you said makes sense. We should keep a tightrope in everything so that we can meet each other in the future. We can't do this." Huang Shixun is an older generation, and he pays attention to the golden mean. In recent years, although he has also merged with the people in his hometown,
The land is small, but the treatment is fair and the prices given are reasonable, so the reputation is not bad.
After a pause, Huang Shixun said to Huang Shouyi again: "Shouyi, since you have a good relationship with Kameda, it's up to you to go to the county seat and tell Kameda that we can't finish these 200,000 kilograms of grain. Let's wait until autumn.
"
When Huang Shixun said this, Huang Shouyi knew that he could no longer change it, so he immediately said yes.
However, Huang Shouyi did not agree with Huang Shixun's approach in his heart. He thought it was a woman's kindness. In today's world, people eat people. If you don't eat people, people will eat you! You care about your fellow villagers, but the Japanese don't
I will take care of you, and when the time comes, the hammer will only hit the Huang family.
Therefore, after leaving home, Huang Shouyi did not go to the county seat. Instead, he went to Xinghualou in the west end of the town to order a good table of noodles, and then asked Huang Shouzhi to send someone to burn Liu Heiqi, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, and the leader of Yiguandao.
Master Deng and Hong Clan leader Hong Jiugong invited them to Xinghua Tower.
It is true that the Huang family is the first family in Meizhen and the most powerful.
However, the Huang family is not the only force in Meizhen. The forces of the Huidao Sect should also not be underestimated. Since Huang Shixun could not do his job, Huang Shouyi decided to bypass Huang Shixun and use the power of the Huidao Sect to accomplish the task. In short, the Japanese explained
The errands must be done well, and no discounts can be given!
Huang Shouyi knew that Liu Heiqi and the others were all old gangsters, and he was not the one to play tricks on them, so he got to the point right away.
Huang Shouyi gave an overview of the matter of paying grain, and then went straight to the point: "The grain used for rent will be shared among four families, 50,000 jin per family. After it arrives at the farmland, it will be shared equally among the three families. I won't take any of it, but there is one thing.
, I must have the final say on what crops will be planted in these tens of thousands of acres of land in the next ten years."
Liu Heiqi, Ran Deng Zhenren and Hong Jiugong all looked at each other with some doubts.
Finally, Liu Heiqi asked: "Second Young Master, are you saying that the rented grain will be paid by the four families together, but the deducted fields will be divided equally between the three of us. You don't want a cent, as long as the crop cultivation in the next ten years determines
right?"
"That's right." Huang Shouyi said, "On this condition, the three leaders will give you a happy word."
Rendeng Zhenren was still a little worried, and asked again: "Second Young Master, can I ask you first, after these tens of thousands of acres of land are acquired, what do you plan to plant in the next ten years?"
"I knew you would ask this." Huang Shouyi smiled slightly, poured wine and wrote two words on the table.
"Big smoke?!" Liu Heiqi, Ran Deng Zhenren and Hong Jiugong immediately exclaimed when they saw this.
Huang Shouyi chuckled and said, "How about it? The three leaders should be relieved now, right?"
Hong Jiugong thought for a while and then said: "Second Young Master, if Master Huang asks about such a big matter..."
"It's okay, my dad has me, I'll tell him." Huang Shouyi waved his hands carelessly and said, "My dad is an old man, he can no longer keep up with this era."
"That's right, from now on it will be the second young master's turn to be in charge of our Meizhen."
"The real person is right, the second young master is a capable man who returned from studying abroad."
"Second Young Master, if you don't say anything about today's matter, I, Liu Heiqi, will obey you."
After hearing what Huang Shouyi said, Liu Heiqi, Ran Deng Zhenren and Hong Jiugong began to flatter Huang Shouyi, praising Huang Shouyi as an unparalleled capable person in the world.
A huge and outrageous matter was decided in the middle of a banquet.
