The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 41 Big Yellow Croaker

"But I'll have to trouble you to do this, uncle."

Looking up at Wan Yuanchang, who was hanging in the air and completely unconscious, Jiang Cheng looked at him with some sympathy and continued speaking.

"These bastards definitely didn't come into the city empty-handed. They must have brought funds for their activities."

"We have detained the people, so we cannot let the things go to waste."

Gao Wensheng was naturally smart and immediately understood what he was going to do.

"Okay, I will take my brothers to search... I'm sure we can find a lot of good stuff inside and outside."

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "First, put these three guys in jail, and then we'll decide based on the situation."

"But uncle, when you take people to Laishun Inn, remember to make a big show—"

"It would be best if everyone in the country knew about it!"

Knowing that he was just trying to "make a show of force to scare the enemy", Gao Wensheng laughed twice and did as he said.

The inn was not very big, and his uncle came back with his men just as the sky was setting.

"Look at you, uncle, you're so happy. Did you copy something good?"

At this moment, Jiang Cheng had just talked to Mr. Fan, the boss of Laishun Inn, and found out the whole story of this group of people.

Although Jiang Cheng's position in his father's army was not high, his salary was almost close to that of a deputy battalion commander - he had his own independent office.

"Haha Feilan, why don't I always feel that you are one of our lucky ones lately!"

Gao Wensheng looked delighted, "Guess what I got?"

He was not someone who had never seen the world. Looking at his excited expression, Jiang Cheng knew that he must have made a big harvest: "Why, did you find a few small yellow croakers?"

"Small yellow croaker? How many more?"

Gao Wensheng was even happier when he heard this. "Feilan, you really underestimate me, your uncle. Are you so happy about just a few small yellow croakers?"

"Look back!"

As he spoke, he gave an order to the outside of the door, and two soldiers came in carrying a small box.

It looks like it's only about one foot square, but it still takes two people to carry it: what could be so heavy?
Jiang Cheng was also happy immediately and was about to turn his gaze away when Gao Wensheng turned around and opened the box.

As he expected, it was gold, with strands densely and neatly arranged inside the box, roughly estimated to be 100!
No wonder it takes two people to carry it. If a soldier were to carry this heavy weight, he would definitely fall on his feet before he could walk far.

“This is… a success!”

Even in the 21st century, Jiang Cheng was just an ordinary border guard who graduated from college. How could he have seen so many valuable things?

According to the common casting technology in the Republic of China, a large yellow croaker weighs 10 liang, which is equivalent to 315 grams in modern times. Needless to say, at a price of 450 yuan per gram, what does this mean? !

Jiang Cheng's face turned red unconsciously, and even his breathing began to become short.

“This is a huge harvest!”

Jiang Cheng seemed to be very happy, but he immediately looked up at Gao Wensheng and asked, "Uncle, have you told my dad?"

"How can I not tell him?"

Unexpectedly, Gao Wensheng winked mysteriously and said, "Your father said that they will all be sent to you as military supplies for your future team."

He blinked in surprise, thinking that his father would be blinded by the money and withhold or even embezzle it, but he did not expect that his father gave him all the money.

"But there is only one thing. From now on, you are not allowed to spend your money on wine, women, smoking and playing with women. You must spend your money on proper things..."

"If he sees you messing around once, I'll take all your money!"

Gao Wensheng smiled and continued, "Your father also said that after you build up your own team, you will have enough horses at the stable!" It can be seen that this cheap father really wants his son to become a successful person. Seeing his series of changes like a prodigal son, he definitely supports him strongly.

"Haha, that's what you said. I should really thank Dad!"

Gao Wensheng then asked, "Where are you going to store this big yellow croaker?"

"I think we should send someone to take Cunqing Shexiang to the provincial capital the next day."

Jiang Cheng knew that the Qing Shexiang he mentioned was Marshal Zhang’s private bank, which was heavily guarded by the 27th Division.

In their eyes, putting money there is the safest place.

"Well, no hurry, uncle."

Jiang Cheng waved to the two men to put the things on the desk, and then took out a few silver dollars to reward the two soldiers and let them go.
Then he took two and stuffed them into Gao Wensheng's hand: "I have always troubled my uncle. This time, Feilan can't take all the benefits for himself."

"This... Hey, this is not allowed!"

Regardless of his refusal, Jiang Cheng stuffed the thing into his coat pocket and said, "Uncle, please don't refuse. We all know the situation at home--"

“Gold may be vulgar, but it is also the most practical and good thing.”

"If you keep pushing it, I won't be able to ask you for anything in the future."

Gao Wensheng has never married. He has a blind mother who is taken care of by his frail sister. His military pay is barely enough to support his family.

Two large yellow croakers were a generous reward for him. He had followed Jiang Lanxuan for so many years but had never gotten so much in one go.

After accepting it with many thanks, Gao Wensheng continued to add: "Feilan, in addition to these, the brothers also copied out a lot of documents--"

"I'll bring it back for you to see. The words on it are weird, with missing limbs!"

He took out a stack of papers from his briefcase and handed it to him. Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh, the handwriting is from the Japanese!"

Knowing that he had "self-taught", Gao Wensheng did not dwell on the details: "What does it say on it?"

"Translation of Prince Su's inscription."

Jiang Cheng quickly glanced over and murmured, "Damn it, Wan Yuanchang, that bastard... even opened a printing house in Fengtian. It seems that those riot leaflets about restoring the country were printed by him."

"In addition to instigating rebellion in Beidaying, they also contacted the rebels in Luda, Taonan and other places."

Jiang Cheng raised his eyes, his gaze grew colder, "The battle in Fengtian is just the beginning. From now on, the so-called loyalist and restoring national army will come to Fengtian from all over the country..."

"There's a Japanese name written on it, Qing Yishengmin, who will lead the Japanese railway guards in Taonan to join us in the battle!"

Gao Wensheng's face slightly changed after hearing this: "This, I have to report it to your father immediately!"

"Uncle, don't worry."

Jiang Cheng sneered, "I haven't used up all my strategies yet, I can't get angry over this."

After turning his eyes a few times, Jiang Cheng went back to his desk and copied the document: "With our current strength, if we fight against the fully armed Japanese, even if we win by chance, we will have to spend money and effort. Why bother?"

"You and Yang Hong should instruct that this original document be delivered to the Governor's Office immediately."

Gao Wensheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately laughed: "Haha, Feilan, you are really something!"

To put it bluntly, Feng Province is Lao Zhang's territory, and he should provide troops and money to protect the house. How can my own soldiers and foreign bullets help you fight the Japanese?
"Hehe, besides, the Army Department is holding back our equipment. I'll send this up to you, Master. You know what's good for you."

"The goods will definitely be delivered to us without any discount... and we have to pressure the higher-ups to recognize our 10th Regiment as soon as possible!"

"Our staffing should have been upgraded long ago!"
