The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 297 Coal Mine
Oh, this is an unexpected gain, right?

During the conversation between the two parties, even a fool could see that they were not on good terms... Jiang Cheng thought of many possibilities, but he never expected that Yu Baozhong actually wanted to replace the person.

Yes, how can such a lucrative job be given to someone who has a conflict with you?
Jiang Cheng asked some more details, then stood up and paced around the dining room with his hands clasped behind his back.

Now the work of incorporating the 28th Division has begun gradually, and Siping is still under reconstruction; the Japanese must have noticed this gap and plotted an invasion.

"Ye Hai!"

After some thought, Jiang Cheng stopped and called his guard, "Go and ask Cui Ni to clean up a room for them to stay in first."

"Oh, by the way, how do you accommodate those miners? Do they have food, water and a place to live?"

As he was speaking, he called Sun Zhengnan over and asked him to use the group's money to resettle the miners who were driven out of the city by Du Haisheng.

When Luo Yuzhu and Mei Sheng heard this, they were so moved that they almost knelt down before Jiang Cheng, thanked him profusely, and then left.

However, just as he was picking his teeth and about to go to the study to study how to take back the coal mine, he looked up and saw the second thief standing under the corridor.

Seeing that pair of dark eyes filled with anger and a bit of hesitation to speak, Jiang Cheng immediately guessed that he must have come for his sister.

After the previous two rounds of quarrels, Jiang Cheng, who had always been bad at managing relationships between men and women, simply hid in the military camp to avoid seeing them;

Now his life is at stake. Everyone in the military camp knows about his relationship with Zhang Tingxue... This brother-in-law is naturally...
Damn it, you're not really planning on cutting yourself, are you?

"I'm telling you, I have a lot of things to do here, so stop messing around."

Seeing his piercing gaze, Jiang Cheng felt that he had nothing to feel guilty about. Instead, he straightened his chest and walked forward. "What are you going to do in the middle of the night?"

Cai Yuanming glanced at him and said, "I know everything about that - and you actually agreed to it!"

Knowing that he was here for this matter, Jiang Cheng calmed down: "The assistant commander has already said that we should imitate Ehuang and Nvying... we should be equals regardless of size."

Cai Yuanming followed him closely with his hands behind his back, and said angrily: "Haha, this is the reason why I've been on guard against Pingchuan's sister, but I can't prevent anything."

His words suddenly aroused Jiang Cheng's dissatisfaction, and he turned his eyes away: "What did you say?"

No wonder he hasn’t seen Huixin for some time. Could it be that these two siblings have teamed up to bully her?

Being stared at like that, the thief was the one who felt guilty: "Hey, what are you doing? You scared me!"

"I didn't do anything... I was just worried that something would happen between you and Huixin. Look, I haven't prevented you from marrying again—"

"But it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. I'll go and persuade Xiaojuan to stop making trouble with you. Even if I don't consider your face, I have to consider Chengye's face!"

Jiang Cheng glanced at him sideways, took off his military cap and slapped him on the shoulder: "Damn it, why didn't I know you were so generous?"

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, go back and rest. I really have something to do here. I want to go to Liu's house with Pingchuan tomorrow."

Cai Yuanming was stunned: "Liu's house? Oh, that's a lively place. Hey, take me with you?"

Jiang Cheng curled his lips and glanced at him: "Okay, who else would dare not take you with me?"

Seeing that the boy was happy for a while but then frowned, Jiang Cheng asked: "Hey, what do you want to talk to me about? You can't just talk about this, right?"

Cai Yuanming looked tangled: "Hey, what can I say about this..." "It was Feng Yong who brought his mother and wife home today and cried to Xiao Juan - you also know our Juan'er's temper, how could she handle this matter?"

"It was not until she hurriedly called the maid to tell me to go back that I went back to comfort her with good words."

Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, but took a few quick steps and pushed open the study door.

After the lights came on, Cai Yuanming followed up: "Fei Lan, what are you thinking? Feng Delin has already fallen... Now the entire Fengtian Army treats him like a plague and tries to avoid him as much as possible!"

"I think we should also keep some distance from the Feng family?"

Jiang Cheng still didn't answer, and first looked through the map of Liu's house and its vicinity on the bookshelf.

This was captured from the Japanese expedition team before:

Later, Yang Yucheng brought his "scientific research team" to enrich the map, which is definitely the most rich and exquisite map of this era.

"Did you say anything to him?"

Seeing that his boss was concentrating all his attention on the map in front of him, Cai Yuanming realized that it must be something very important.
He quickly replied, "You are the eldest, and I am the third in line. How can I dare to say anything before I get your clear instructions?"

"Besides, I'm not stupid. Feng Delin's gang of brothers have all gone into hiding, and some have even tried to rob his 28th Division. Why should I bother with this?"

"I just talked to them about justice and said that recruiting troops is the business of the higher-ups and we can't decide."

This kid is really good at smoothing things over.

Jiang Cheng glanced at him and laughed, "Not bad, I think you can be a group leader in the future... We can't control the Feng family's affairs, and Master Shuai hasn't said anything yet."

"Besides, I see that the Marshal is not too close to either the Zhi or Anhui families at the moment, and is keeping a distance from them. He hasn't figured out the situation in the interior of the country yet. Plus, there's Xu Shuzheng in the General Staff Headquarters, so he'd have no time to bother with Feng Lao San."

This thief, Lao Er, is the most skilled military officer under Jiang Cheng. When he heard Jiang Cheng's words, he understood: "Hehe, if you say it this way, I understand!"

"Master Shuai, are you planning to roast the Feng family over the fire? If you don't roast them, how can they produce oil?"

In fact, Jiang Cheng had already thought of this meaning, but he just didn't say it directly.

Now that the matter has been made clear, it doesn't matter anymore. Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Let's put the Feng family's affairs aside for now!"

"What is on the table right now must be the Liufangzi coal mine incident."

"The Japanese sent troops to seize the coal mines, and then beat up all the miners and drove them away... Isn't this strange?"

Cai Yuanming was stunned: "What? This, occupying space and beating people, the Japanese do this often, right?"

Jiang Cheng raised his hand and pointed at the map in front of him: "Yes, they often do this - but think about it carefully, when have these little devils ever gotten up too early for no benefit?"

"They occupied the coal mine, shouldn't they be after the coal inside? But coal is not something that can just run away by itself, or like fruit that can just fall from a tree, so they have to dig it up themselves, right?"

"These guys are pampered and arrogant, how can they dig coal on their own?"

Cai Yuanming suddenly realized: "That's right! If not for coal, what else could they be after? Oh, right, the county town!"
