Chapter 136 Special Commissioner

Jiang Cheng didn't respond.

I can't tell him the truth -

Such a serious matter involving munitions, even if Marshal Zhang trusted him and did not betray him, given Yang Yuting's viciousness and suspicion, he would definitely withdraw personnel from the guard brigade to keep an eye on the Hai family's ancestral home.

They will also send people to guard Daping Village behind them:

Anyone would do the same.

That’s 40 million.

Not four thousand dollars.

"Don't worry about it. I'll go see Xiaojuan."

I pulled the curtain out and ran straight back to my room. Cai Chanjuan was already awake and was leaning against the head of the bed, drinking hot milk slowly.

Seeing Jiang Cheng coming in, this gentle and weak woman burst into tears: "Feilan..."

The little face was pale, and the narrow shoulders were still shaking. Jiang Cheng immediately stepped forward with concern: "It's okay! No one can bully my Xiaojuan anymore..."

After hugging her to comfort her for a while, Jiang Cheng said softly: "Stay at home honestly these few days. Let the two girls buy whatever they want to eat. Remember, you must go out less!"

Looking at him blankly, Cai Chanjuan knew that he was going to do something important again. She bit her red lips lightly and nodded in agreement. She turned around and took out two small triangular necklaces from the bedside table.

"Why don't you and your brother keep it? It's to ward off evil spirits."

Looking at the delicate twin lotus flowers embroidered on it, Jiang Cheng was touched by his little daughter's thoughtfulness. He raised his hand and touched her soft hair: "Okay, my second brother and I will pretend...Xiaojuan, take care of yourself at home."

"I'm going to be out for a few days. When I get home, I'll take you to Ruifuxiang for a good stroll."

She kissed him sweetly on the cheek: "I'll be waiting for you, brother."

After talking to her in private for a few words and giving her some gold and silver, Jiang Cheng didn't waste any more time, called Han Ming and drove away.

It didn't take much effort to get out of the city. The Mongolian bandit Babuzab had been completely eliminated, and the entire provincial capital area was relatively calm.

After returning to Xinmin, Jiang Cheng went straight to his father's administrative office.

After taking full control of the county, the Jiang family incorporated troops and everything was back on track half a month ago.

"What! Enter the customs?"

After hearing the order from his superiors, even Jiang Lanxuan, who was usually calm and composed, opened his mouth wide.

In an era without war, marching all the way through the pass is no small matter: although Shanhaiguan is currently under the control of the Fengtian Army.

But the collective action of the 53rd Brigade is bound to have a huge goal, which will cause a stir in the capital.

"The order was issued by the commander-in-chief. All troops will take the military train all the way to Shanhaiguan."

Jiang Cheng gestured quickly on the sand table, "After entering the pass, the entire army will be on standby in Luanzhou."

The task was broken down step by step, and not only my father was shocked, but even my uncle was confused.

"Good fellow, are you planning to go to Qinhuangdao to pick up equipment in such a brazen manner?"

"If we are discovered, wouldn't it be..."

On the way home, Jiang Cheng had carefully checked the delivery note.

Apart from a slight difference in the stroke of his signature, there is no flaw at all.

It seems that Xu Shuzheng really spent a lot of money to promote the alliance between Lao Duan and Lao Zhang.

"Stop wasting time and carry out the mission."

After a brief thought, Jiang Lanxuan quickly gave the order, "Wensheng, you and Yang Hong stay in Xinmin, and my son and I will attack together!"

They both blurted out almost at the same time: "How can this be possible?"

Jiang Cheng added: "Dad, you have just recovered from your gunshot wound... How can you travel a long distance to Luanzhou? Let me go with my uncle!" Gao Wensheng also added: "Yes, from here to Qinhuangdao, the straight-line distance is nearly a thousand miles... and the train can only send the troops to Shanhaiguan."

"It's been such a long journey, brother, how can your body bear it?"

The two of them worked together to persuade him, and the troops began to gather towards the Fengtian Railway Station as quickly as possible.

Early the next morning, people going to Fengtian Railway Station were stopped outside the station.

A large number of newly equipped troops boarded the vehicles.

The military train for transporting troops is what later generations called a "stuffy car". It has no seats and is actually a converted freight car.

Along with the soldiers, there were also large amounts of ammunition and weapons and equipment on board - the Marshal also had two full carriages of rifles and twenty American-made machine guns given to him.

After all, it is entering the country, so necessary preparations are still required.

But it's fun to say that even though this Republic of China-era cart was extremely simple, it was novel and interesting to these young soldiers.

The second carriage of the military train belongs to the officer. All the seats have been removed and replaced with desks, beds and even a bathroom with washing facilities.

The early morning sunlight shines through the white gauze curtains, scattering warm light.

Moreover, the shock absorption performance is far superior to that of traditional carriages. The train runs smoothly and even the tea on the table does not spill.

"I now understand that these rough guys are all trying to climb up the social ladder."

Jiang Cheng grabbed a wild persimmon from the fruit plate and said, "Do you enjoy fighting more than ordinary people?"

Gao Wensheng and others who followed him in were amused by him, but Cai Yuanming grabbed an apple without hesitation and said, "Why didn't you say you would give one to your second brother!"

"Not for you, give it to Pingchuan!"

They were pushing and shoving and laughing, but they heard someone shouting "Report" in the commander's carriage.

It was Gao Wensheng's adjutant Sun Juncai: "Master, the special observer from the General Staff has arrived!"

Hearing this, several people turned around at the same time, and Sun Jun turned aside to let the man go.

He stood at attention and saluted solemnly before entering the door. Jiang Cheng immediately greeted him with a smile: "Brother Chao Liu! Hey, why did they send you here?"

Yang Yuting, ah, Yang Yuting, he was indeed worried about him.

The 53rd Brigade is carrying out a mission to enter the country, and they need to send a "special observer"!
Jiang Dengxuan smiled gently: "Well, it's Chief of Staff Yang's task... Tell me I'm your relative, so the cooperation will be smoother!"

We are from the same family, but the real reason should be that you sent you, your trusted old classmate, to keep an eye on me, right?

"Come on, Brother Chao, come and sit down. We are waiting to discuss the plan with you."

Jiang Cheng put his arm around his shoulders and invited him in, then asked Gao Wensheng to unfold the topographic map he had prepared in advance on the table.

"I have carefully looked at the map. From Shanhaiguan to Luanzhou, there are still nearly 200 miles, and we will pass through many passes and checkpoints along the way."

Jiang Cheng pointed to the pre-marked point on the map and said to Jiang Dengxuan, "The Chief of General Staff did not give me clear instructions before we set out. Does he want my 53rd Brigade to push forward all the way?"

"Xu Shuzheng inside the pass will send people to Shanhaiguan for support,"

Jiang Dengxuan said seriously, "In addition, each section checkpoint will also receive a hint from his old section and let them pass all the way to Luanzhou."

"But what about leaving the Luanzhou section?"

Jiang Cheng immediately asked, "Luanzhou to Qinhuangdao is also more than 300 miles away... In addition, will the troops get supplies in Luanzhou?"

"Food and drinks must be fully equipped, or should they be delivered from Shanhaiguan?"

After receiving the order, Jiang Cheng immediately uploaded the preliminary draft of the combat report to him, which also included a series of problems encountered by the troops during the march...

But this elder brother never gave a clear reply, which made Jiang Cheng extremely anxious.

You took two carloads of weapons and ammunition and planned to trick my people out of Xinmin?
