The busy night has finally passed. All the grain in the warehouse has been loaded onto trucks and is being transported along the highway to Meizhen. The trucks, ox carts, donkey carts, horse carriages and wheelbarrows used to transport grain stretch for dozens of miles. The leader in front
The truck has almost reached Shaqiao Gang outside Meizhen, and the truck behind it has just left Pu County.
At this time, some courageous residents began to open their doors and go to the street to watch.
When the two armies were fighting last night, and later when the brigade was loading food supplies, the residents of the county hid in their homes and did not dare to come out. Even though they knew clearly that the incoming troops were Chinese troops, they still did not dare to go out because they could not be sure who was coming back.
Will the squadron liquidate their crimes?
After all, they were obedient citizens who had become Japanese invaders before.
Leng Tiefeng glanced at the residents peeping out on the street, walked up to Xu Rui and said, "Old Xu, is it time to withdraw our troops?"
The main purpose of attacking Pu County this time is to attract the attention of the Japs and relieve the pressure on the 59th Army on the Huaihe River front. The secondary purpose is to snatch food. Now that the goal has been achieved, counting the time, the Japs in Feicheng should also have known the news and reinforcements.
Most of them are already on their way, so it's time to leave.
"Retract the troops?" Xu Rui chuckled and said, "Why are you so anxious? The work is not done yet."
"The work is not done yet?" Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "What other work is there?"
Xu Rui said: "I didn't tell you before, but the Sino-Japanese war will enter a stalemate stage. Sooner or later, the Japanese will block our base area. We have to find a way to hoard some gold."
"Are you really planning to hoard gold?" Leng Tiefeng asked, "Where's the gold?"
"Here, all the gold is here." Xu Rui stood at the top of the city, cooed at the endless houses in the city, and said, "Even if there is no gold, it is acceptable to get some Yuan Datou."
Leng Tiefeng immediately realized that Xu Rui was planning to blackmail these gentry merchants in Pu County.
However, these squire and merchants deserved it. Who made them so active that they defected to the Japs?
Xu Rui took out another booklet from his bag, handed it to Leng Tiefeng and said, "Take this list and invite all the respectable squires registered in it to the gendarmerie headquarters." After saying this, Xu Rui said
Rui then ordered the Decepticons, "Tiger, go to the prisoner of war camp, capture two Japs, and send them to the Military Police Headquarters."
This booklet was seized from the gendarmerie headquarters.
Leng Tiefeng and the Decepticons went separately.
(Dividing line)
Last night, Ho Hong Hai reminded me that I was in fear all night long.
There is a reason why Ho Honghai is afraid, because he was the first Japanese to swear allegiance to the Japanese after the Japanese captured Pu County. Even Chang Delu, the maintenance chairman, and Qian Liufu, the chairman of the Pu County Chamber of Commerce, were the Japanese who joined him because of his help.
Now, after the fight was over, how could he be spared?
Thinking of this, Stanley Ho really wanted to hang himself.
Tell me, why did you call me back? Why don't you say anything?
At this time, the young boy Dui who was leaning behind the door panel and looking out suddenly shouted: "Shopkeeper, a large team is coming towards our bank."
"What are you talking about?" He Honghai was startled when he heard this. When he realized what he was saying, he was about to crawl under the Eight Immortals' Table. But he was too fat. He only got halfway in and knocked the Eight Immortals' Table over to the ground, and the melon skin hat on his head also fell to the ground.
, He Honghai quickly picked up the melon skin hat and put it on his head, and then called Dumb to come over and cover the table for him.
Dumb was about to come over and put the Eight Immortals Table on Ho Honghai's head, but the closed door was kicked open.
Immediately, a large group of soldiers with live ammunition rushed in and aimed their black guns at He Honghai, Dui and several other bank clerks. He Honghai and several clerks quickly raised their hands and did not dare to act rashly again. My dear mother, everyone
Sir, can you move the muzzle of the gun?
The leader was a tall and upright young officer.
This young officer is naturally Leng Tiefeng.
Leng Tiefeng looked down at Stanley Ho who fell to the ground and asked: "You are the boss of Hon Hai Bank, Stanley Ho, right?"
"Yes, yes." Stanley Ho nodded subconsciously, but after reacting, he quickly shook his head, "Oh no, no, no, no, I'm not Stanley Ho, he, he..." Stanley Ho stretched out his fat finger and poked randomly for a while.
Finally, it fell on the head of the young boy Dumb, who kept saying, "He is, he is Stanley Ho."
"It's the shopkeeper." Dui immediately screamed.
Leng Tiefeng made a sound, waved his hand and shouted: "Take it away!"
Immediately, two soldiers rushed forward fiercely and lifted He Honghai up. He Honghai sighed and lowered his head, thinking that the ball was dead.
However, what surprised Stanley Ho was that he was not taken to the execution ground. Although the two soldiers looked ferocious, they did not abuse him. They politely took him to the Japanese military police headquarters and moved him.
He was given an imperial chair to sit on, but He Honghai did not dare to sit down, so he only sat on half of his buttocks.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen squires, including Chairman Chang Delu, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Qian Liufu, and Chairman Wu Qiankun of the Qinglong Association, were also invited into the hall. Seeing He Honghai who was already there, they all came to consult.
He Honghai could only respond with a wry smile, and he didn't know what was going on.
After a while, a dozen of Pu County's leading figures basically arrived.
Looking at the soldiers with guns and ammunition on both sides, they were stunned and did not dare to whisper to each other.
After waiting for about a few minutes, they saw a young officer with an upright posture striding inside, and the others quickly stood up to greet him.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." As soon as the young officer came in, he bowed and said, "Let me introduce myself first. I am the newly formed Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, captain of the Dameishan Brigade, Xu Rui.
, I am very happy to meet you today to discuss the overall situation of the War of Resistance. Please take a seat, everyone, please take a seat!"
Xu Rui took the main seat with a golden sword, and everyone else sat down in vain.
Xu Rui was too lazy to be polite and went directly to the topic: "We have gathered everyone together today just for one thing, that is, our brigade is facing difficulties in funding right now. You see, we need money to buy guns and ammunition, and we need money to eat.
Buying uniforms for the soldiers also costs money, right? They ask for money everywhere, and I really can’t open the door to this.”
Hearing this, Stanley Ho breathed a long sigh of relief. Don't you just want money? Money matters are easy to deal with. What is the saying? Things that can be settled with money are not a problem! Just now,
Stanley Ho was really worried that he would be shot without any reason, so what use would he have if he had a huge fortune?
At that moment, Ho Honghai stood up and said with emotion: "At this time of national crisis, everyone has the money to contribute and the ability to contribute, and it is natural for us to join in the anti-Japanese movement. Captain, just give us a number."
Those who don’t know this say that Ho Hong Hai is really an anti-Japanese martyr.
"Happy!" Xu Rui heard this and patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair and said, "I just like happy people like Shopkeeper He!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Ho Honghai quickly apologized, "You soldiers are fighting for the country and the nation on the battlefield. Businessmen like us should contribute our money and efforts. There is nothing much to say about this."
The other dozen or so squires also nodded in agreement and asked Xu Rui to give a number.
"Then I won't be polite." Xu Rui stretched out a palm and turned it over, "That's the number."
"Five thousand?" Ho Honghai said proudly, "Captain Xu, my family has paid for these five thousand, and the other families can pay as much as they are willing to pay. Please feel free to do whatever you want."
Xu Rui smiled and was noncommittal.
The soldier standing behind Xu Rui said: "Five thousand? Are you sending beggars?"
He Honghai and a dozen other squires were startled. Both the soldier and the Siberian tiger were more than two meters tall. Standing behind Xu Rui, they looked like two black iron towers. The sense of oppression was too strong.
"Fifty thousand? This..." He Honghai licked his tongue and whispered, "It's not that I can't get it, but it just takes some time to get it together. I hope Captain Xu can forgive me for a while."
When he said this, Ho Hong Hai's heart was bleeding. If he wanted to raise the 50,000 yuan, his Hon Hai Bank would have to spread it to 10,000 yuan. This would really cost his life. This was a big deal.
Ten thousand oceans, ten thousand oceans.
"Shopkeeper He Da is wrong, it's not 50,000." Xu Rui said happily, "It's 500,000, and it must be an ocean, legal currency does not count, and the delivery must be clear before noon today! As for these five
How to divide the 100,000 is your business, you can discuss it yourself, I only want the final result."
After saying this, Xu Rui stood up and prepared to leave.
"Captain, Captain Xu!" Several squires knelt down at that time.
For these money-hungry squires, kneeling down is nothing. For money, they are willing to sacrifice their own chrysanthemums. Of course, the prerequisite is that Xu Rui is interested.
"Captain Xu." He Honghai said almost crying, "I really can't get half a million."
"Yes, Captain Xu, half a million is too much." Qian Liufu, the president of the Pu County Chamber of Commerce, also cried, "Please reduce the amount by any means, otherwise, one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand oceans! We will immediately
Get it together!"
"That's right, one hundred thousand oceans is not legal tender. Let's go back and collect it together."
"Captain Xu, one hundred thousand oceans is the most. No matter how much more we have, we can't take it out."
"Yes, yes, even if you sell me, you won't be able to make a fortune."
Ho Hong Hai and a dozen other squires agreed one after another, insisting that the price was 100,000 yuan.
Leng Tiefeng stood at the door of the hall, looking dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that these landowners and squires who had taken refuge with the Japanese could really extract money from them, and it was so rich.
You have to follow Leng Tiefeng's wishes and give it up as soon as it's good.
Xu Rui didn't, and said coldly: "It's only five hundred thousand, not a penny less!"
Qian Liufu immediately wailed: "Five hundred thousand, you might as well kill me."
"Do you think I don't dare to kill people?" Xu Rui shouted sharply, "Come here!"
