Tongjiang, whose ancient name is "Lahasusu", is located on the south bank of the intersection of the Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River. It is connected to Fuyuan in the east and Fujin in the south.
Tongjiang is connected to the Far East of the Soviet Union. As early as 1904, there were merchants in China doing business with the Russians. In the early twentieth century, the British established a customs and trading office in Tongjiang. After the September 18th Incident, Tongjiang was included in the newly established
It is under the jurisdiction of Sanjiang Province.
As the Japanese occupied the Far East, Tongjiang became an important transportation point connecting the Northeast to the Far East. Most of the Japanese troops in Tongjiang were transferred away, leaving only one brigade stationed in Tongjiang County.
Tongjiang County is not a big city. The Japanese Tongjiang Garrison Headquarters is located in Tongjiang City. The captain is Major Okazaki Shinjie.
Okazaki Shine was born in a merchant family in Osaka. Unlike the family that had been doing business for generations, Okazaki Shine chose the path of joining the army.
Of course, Okazaki Shine chose to join the army not because he was loyal to the emperor, nor because he wanted a good future, but he was smart and found that joining the army as an official was a shortcut to getting rich.
Osaka has a strong commercial atmosphere and has gradually developed a culture of putting citizens' interests first. Therefore, the idea of loyalty to the emperor is much weaker than that of other regions. Because of this, the combat effectiveness of the divisions from Osaka is not very strong, such as
The Fourth Division is not because their weapons are not advanced and their training is not strict, but because Osaka people are pragmatists who put interests first. They will never follow orders mechanically, but will think about themselves.
Is it necessary to execute such a command?
Okazaki Shine was originally serving as a major in the field regiment, but he took the initiative to be a captain of the local garrison in Tongjiang. It was not for anything else, but because he took a fancy to Tongjiang's products.
If you only serve as a captain in the field army, although the future seems better, it will not bring any benefits, and you will risk your life at any time.
When he arrived at the local garrison, he could stay away from the front lines of the war. Secondly, he became a local emperor in a remote place like Tongjiang. Okazaki Shine used his authority to transport all agricultural products and timber from Tongjiang.
Fujin, and then transport it from Fujin to Guannai by train through its own connections, from which a large amount of profits can be made.
Therefore, Okazaki Shine's purpose in becoming an official was not to get promoted, but to make a fortune. Okazaki Shine was still a businessman at heart.
In the garrison headquarters in Tongjiang, Okazaki Shine is holding an abacus in his hand and constantly pulling out the calculations. Okazaki Shine's abacus is very good. As a person from a business family, he has already developed the habit of sleeping every night.
The habit of calculating the day's accounts beforehand.
After a long while, Okazaki Shine pushed his abacus and calculated in his mind that it was already the harvest season. Due to the latitude of Tongjiang, the weather got cold earlier. Although it was only October, the crops had stopped growing and the fields had begun to grow.
Harvest.
Okazaki Shine established his own business system in Tongjiang, purchasing large quantities of soybeans, sorghum, corn and other agricultural products from farmers at extremely cheap prices, and then selling them to Guanhai and Japan.
The price difference is dozens of times. Of course, Okazaki Shine also knows that as a soldier, spending his main energy on business is something that cannot be put on the table and can easily arouse the jealousy of others, so he will use the money he earned
Part of it was used to manage his superiors. In this way, Okazaki Shine smoothly passed through many difficulties. Up to now, he already has a fortune of several million yen and has become an invisible rich man.
Okazaki Shine is very satisfied with his current situation. He was transferred from the field army to Tongjiang for three years, and he suddenly became a rich man from a pauper relying on subsidies. This is something that no one in his family could have imagined. matter.
Okazaki Shine couldn't help but think, no wonder people say that being an official is a low-risk, high-return profession. Compared with the benefits obtained, the cost of investment is much smaller.
Okazaki Shine somewhat laughed at his relatives and friends in Osaka, who were doing small businesses every day and could only maintain food and clothing in the end. They had no idea about the relationship between power and money. Compared with them, he was really smart and understood it very early. Because of the relationship, he became an officer and achieved such great success.
Okazaki Shine calculated that a few million yen would be enough to make him a rich man in Japan, and even set up his own company. The land in China is fertile and can produce so many products. As long as he keeps sitting here. If you are in the position of captain, you can continue to make a lot of profits.
Just as he was thinking about it, a second lieutenant came in.
"Your Excellency, Major, there is news that a force attacked Fuyuan, occupied Fuyuan Town, seized the military horse farm, and is heading towards Tongjiang."
Okazaki Shine was very dissatisfied with the second lieutenant for disturbing him, and said: "They are just a few small anti-Japanese elements and cannot make any big waves."
The second lieutenant wanted to say something else, but Okazaki Shine said: "Second lieutenant, I still have something to do. If you are fine, just go out."
The second lieutenant sighed in his heart, knowing that Okazaki Shine spent all his energy on how to make money, and as for the elimination of anti-Japanese elements, he would not take it to heart at all.
In fact, Okazaki Shine is a famous "money-making Major" who is not proficient in military affairs. The reason why he can sit in the position he is in today is mainly because he can flatter and make money, and has opened up the world from top to bottom. All the joints under his body are the reason why he can rise to the top. He is very dissatisfied with such an officer, second lieutenant and subordinates. Of course, Okazaki Shine does not care about this. For him, the identity of an officer is just a tool for making money. As for He didn't care at all what his subordinates thought of him.
The second lieutenant left Okazaki Shine's office, and Okazaki Shine began to make plans again, thinking that when this year's harvest comes, he can make a lot of money again...
Sanjiangkou is located near Tongjiang County. It is the intersection of Songhua River and Wusuli River. Standing on the riverside, you can see that the water of Sanjiangkou is divided from the center of the river. It is clearly divided into two different colors: black and yellow. To the north The black one is the Wusuli River, and the yellow one in the south is the Songhua River. Although they join the same river, their paths are distinct, which is a rare sight.
"Captain, why do you think this water has two colors? Half black and half yellow, it's really interesting." Digua said.
Leng Tiefeng ignored the sweet potato, but his eyes were still staring at the two colors of the river.
"Captain, I heard that the fish in this river tastes pretty good, why don't we get some to try." Digua added.
"Okay." Leng Tiefeng said.
Regardless of whether Leng Tiefeng liked it or not, Digua still said in a nonchalant manner: "Captain, look, there is a boat over there, and the man on the boat is quite interesting. He has a fork in his hand, and he seems to be spearing a fish."
Everyone looked in the direction that Digua pointed. Sure enough, a small canoe was rowed across the river. There was a man sitting on the boat. The man was dressed in a strange costume. He held a harpoon in his hand and used the river water from time to time. He stabbed the harpoon hard, and after a while, a big fish weighing five or six kilograms was picked up by the man with the harpoon.
"Hey, it's really coming." Digua said excitedly.
At this moment, the man harpooned into the water again. There was a roar and water splashed everywhere. The small boat was shaken around by the huge waves, and finally turned over.
, then, a huge fish, several meters long, jumped up from the water, drew an arc in mid-air, and jumped into the water again.
"My God, what a big fish!" Digua exclaimed.
"No, help people quickly!" Xu Rui shouted.
A few warriors with good water skills were about to enter the water, when they saw the man who had fallen into the water showed his head again and swam desperately to the shore. The big fish drew a white line of water behind him, chasing after him.
"Shoot!" Xu Rui shouted.
"Papa..."
The soldiers fired at the water where the big fish was, covering the man who fell into the water. After a while, the man swam to the shore with great effort. He was almost exhausted. The two soldiers quickly pulled the man to the shore.
ashore.
At this moment, the big fish jumped out of the water again. Almost at the same time, gunshots were heard from the shore. Langya's sharpshooters took action one after another. Almost at the same time, the big fish was hit by dozens of bullets.
He let out a scream, fell into the water, kept rolling, and finally lost the ability to move.
"Get it out quickly!"
Xu Rui shouted.
At that moment, several soldiers jumped onto the small boat on the shore and rowed into the water, rowing towards the big fish...
Xu Rui came to the man who fell into the water and saw that the man was wearing strange clothes. Judging from the material of the clothes, it did not look like cloth or silk. It was impossible to tell what it was made of. The man kept breathing and using a kind of
He looked at Xu Rui with slightly frightened eyes.
Xu Rui asked: "Who are you?"
The man took a deep breath to calm himself down and said: "I am a Hezhe people from Bada Island not far from here. We Hezhe people have lived on both sides of the river for generations and made a living by fishing. Today I went out to fish.
But I didn’t want to meet the River God. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise I would have died."
"River God? You mean that big fish?" Xu Rui asked, pointing forward. The man looked in the direction of Xu Rui's finger and saw that after a lot of hard work, a dozen soldiers driving two small boats finally arrived.
The big dying fish was dragged ashore. The big fish was four or five meters long and weighed at least a thousand kilograms. Its sharp mouth protruded.
"Oh my God, you actually killed the River God!" The man was shocked. He stood up with difficulty, staggered to the carcass of the big fish, knelt down on the ground, raised his hands to the sky, and said something in a very unfamiliar language.
He kept going, as if he was praying.
"You mean, this fish is the river god?"
Seeing that the man had finished praying, Xu Rui asked.
The man nodded and said: "This is the river god of the Songhua River. No one can kill it. Every year, some of us Hezhe people lose their lives when their boats are capsized by the river god while fishing. Fortunately, I met you today.
Otherwise I would have been eaten by the river god."
