Chapter 21

Shunsheng Hangsheng, who was standing beside him, had a look on his face as if he was seeing the young master for the first time. Is this still the indifferent young master of the Li family?This gesture of asking for money with trembling hands is more skillful than coming to collect rent by yourself.

The middle-aged man fumbled for something in his clothes, and then took out a money bag.

The moment the money bag was about to be handed to Li Chong's palm, the middle-aged man wiped out a blade from the back of the bag. The distance was too close, and even though Shunsheng Hengsheng's body reacted, he couldn't reach it.

"Hmph!" Li Chong's skin was bristling with cold hair, and a gust of cold wind rushed towards him.The neuron subconsciously flicked his thumb up, touching the middle-aged man's wrist, and the blade was still between the skin and the epidermis.Then Li Chong grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist with his backhand and twisted it back.

"Crack!" a tooth-piercing voice.

"Aww!" This time the middle-aged man really howled miserably. If the previous one was just swelling pain, this time it's like the tingling pain when the flesh leaves the body. The painful soul will jump out of the head.

"Why, you want to fight?" Li Chong snatched the money bag hanging from the middle-aged man's hand with one hand, and weighed it, "That's all? Otherwise, you won't want it with the other hand."

"Don't, don't, man, I still have two money bags." With his teeth chattering, the middle-aged man took out two heavy money bags from the waistband of his trousers with his intact left hand and gave them to Li Chong.

Li Chong weighed himself and threw the purse back, and the two brothers Shunsheng and Hengsheng caught the purse, and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, "You must admit that you are short, and stand firm after being beaten. Since you missed it, you have to spend money to eliminate the disaster. It's not like I said, why do you do this, a problem that can be solved with a money bag, but you have to resist."

"Hey! The boat is about to leave, can the three on the shore get on the boat?" the ticket inspector at the gate shouted at the three of Li Chong.

Li Chong took a deep breath and stood up, "You are lucky, I don't have time to talk to you, let's go."

In the central part of Jiangsu, the Taizhou Wharf at the intersection of the five waterways entering the river and reaching the sea is one of the important stops along the Yangtze River.

"Master, this ship can still blow smoke into the sky!" Shunsheng Hengsheng stood in front of the Taizhou pier, watching the steamer's two big smoke pipes keep emitting white mist, his jaw couldn't close in shock.

"This is a steamship. It's much faster than the boat that the two call a boat that goes down the river. It's like the difference between walking on the ground and riding a horse!" Once I saw a train emitting smoke all the way, the surprise made the accompanying passengers look at me with contempt.

If you don't go out, you really don't know how the world is turning upside down!
Li Chong smiled and kicked the two brothers who were frightened and pinched, and drove the two brothers up and down the swaying boarding ladder, "Get on the boat, stand in front of the dock and stare at the big boat and drool. We will be caught by others." People are considered fools."

To Li Chong's disappointment, he didn't get the latest news about the frontline battle in Taizhou. It had been half a month since the war broke out in Wanping City on the [-]th. The passenger ship sailed into the Yangtze River. dark clouds.

The capital of the Republic of China that drank from the same river, in the National Government of Nanjing City.

The wind howled outside the house, and the solemnity was blown loudly, and a heavy rainstorm was coming.

The flowers and plants in the house are motionless, and all the lines on the floor illuminated by the huge chandelier can be seen. On the desk placed diagonally, documents related to the whole country are signed and forwarded every day. minute.

But a black and white telegram has been placed in the middle of the seat for two days, and a big hand pressed on it for a long time.

"On the night of the 7th of this month, the Japanese army suddenly attacked our garrison. Our army was responsible for defending the territory and had to defend properly. On the 11th, the two sides agreed to withdraw their troops. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army bombarded our Wanping County on the 19th."

In this mansion, the issue of "fight or peace" continued to be debated. The main combat faction and the main peace faction had been at a stalemate, which made the 29th Army defending the soil ahead neither defending nor retreating.The central government did not order the anti-Japanese war, and this attitude of war and uncertainty made the defense of the 29th Army fall into a dilemma.

"Chairman, you have to make a decision. Commander Song keeps sending telegrams in front of us. Our intelligence personnel report that the Japanese army in North Korea and the Kwantung Army are gathering around Beiping."

Looking out of the window, the owner of the big hand looked out of the window, "It's really raining, Brother Baili, this fight will be unstoppable, this is a national war! It ends in defeat! Are we really ready?" The last question asked rhetorically, as if asking an attendant, but it also seemed to be muttering to himself.

As the commander-in-chief of a country and three armies basically recognized by Western countries, no one knows his subordinates better than him.

From the perspective of the battlefield, Beiping was not a good arena for the national army. The Japanese troops in North Korea and Kanto were too close, and planes flying from the two places could easily reach the sky over Beiping.And his direct line troops are all gathered in Nanjing, Shanghai and other Jiangnan areas, which is a bit out of reach from the perspective of troop deployment.

Jiang Baili, with graying hair but neatly combed, understood what the chairman said, and pondered for a while to express his long-awaited opinion.

"Chairman, this war between China and Japan is fundamentally inevitable. But it is not appropriate to set up defense lines to stop the Japanese army from Beiping. It is almost impossible to defend the territory from north to south, and the Japanese mechanized troops can easily catch up, but if it is from east to west, it can use the complex terrain in the east and west to block the Japanese army layer by layer and open up a second battlefield situation. It must be done."

The chairman's finger on the cane kept beating. Jiang Baili's general strategy was very suitable for his own appetite. If he could move the main battlefield where the two countries started to fight and really determine the fate of the country to the south, for example, he would be able to gain in all aspects. Shanghai, which is his core ruling area, is his own chassis, and it will be much more beneficial to him to respond to one order.

"Tell Mingxuan not to fire the first shot!" The cane hit the floor heavily, and the dull voice echoed throughout the office space.
On the ferry to Shanghai.Night fell outside the ship, and clouds obscured the moonlight.

The lights on the merchant ship are brightly lit, and the dinner party is being prepared at this moment.After putting away the suitcase and locking it in the cabinet, Li Chong brought the two brothers to the banquet hall.

"I made a fortune today, so I'll treat you two to something to eat. The buffet is a thing made by Westerners. It doesn't matter how much you eat, it's calculated on the basis of the head. If you carry a whole suitcase, you can let go of your belly for a meal."

What a charming promise, for a countryman, to let go of his belly!

"Eat as much as you want, wouldn't it ruin the boss?" The two brothers were born from the same mother's womb, and they all had the same question about opening their mouths.

"Haha, if everyone can get their money back, their boss would have closed the business long ago." However, Li Chong did not discourage the enthusiasm of the two brothers who were eager to try their hands, but encouraged him, "If you can get your money back, you can go to Shanghai if you get your money back." In the end, I will equip each of your brothers with a short gun, and the buffet in this banquet hall costs five oceans per person. You two have a heavy task!"
