Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The war in Hubei was actually over by this time. Once the temporary truce was signed, the armies of both sides maintained absolute restraint. After all, no one wanted to die here.

As a result, a rare scene of peace appeared on the front line of Hubei, and a happy era came.

The Huajie in Hankou was completely burned down because Feng Guozhang was unwilling to play street fighting with the militia guerrillas. Therefore, compared with the militia, the life of the Beiyang army was a bit bitter. Let alone looking for fun, just go to a restaurant For a change of taste, you can only change into plain clothes and go to the concession area in Hankou.

As for the more advanced service of calling girls, you have to go to the Japanese Concession, where there are girls from Japan.Everyone went south to suppress the rebellious party, and the military salary was fully paid, so money is naturally no problem.

As for the civilian army, not all of them are revolutionary soldiers with firm will and good style. The upper class may be better, but many of the lower class members are mostly from the party, and the military discipline is not strict.At the end of November, after Huang Xing left Hanyang to recover Nanjing, the wartime headquarters existed in name only, and these self-proclaimed revolutionary heroes were left alone.In Wuchang, because of the military law team, no one dared to mess around.

Therefore, anyone who has made some revolutionary money will choose to take a ferry to the concession in Hankou to spend it hard. For them, the essence of revolution is actually to get promoted and get rich.

As a result, there was a very discordant scene in the Hankou Concession. Maybe the two groups of people who fought to death on the battlefield not long ago can now eat noodles in the same restaurant, or even in the same kiln. Holding the girl in his arms, it's time for someone to say something.

As for the concessions, the war not only did not affect the economic development of the concessions, but actually promoted the abnormal prosperity of the concessions in a disguised form. This is also a great spectacle in the modern history of China.

But this is not to say that everyone who comes to the concession is here to spend money and mess around, such as our classmate Wang Zhenyu.

Wang Zhenyu, Ma Xicheng, and Zhao Dongsheng had changed into casual clothes and quietly entered the concession area by boat from Wuchang.Hankou's concession area is not big, at least it is incomparable with the Shanghai concession area that Wang Zhenyu is familiar with through film and television works.

In the early concessions, Chinese were not allowed to enter. Later, due to the shortage of labor force, Chinese began to pour into the concessions in large numbers.It is extremely ironic that the concession itself, which was regarded as a disgrace to the Chinese nation in history textbooks, actually provided invaluable political protection for the vigorous development of national industry and commerce for a long period of time.Because no matter how wise and powerful the rulers of the Republic of China felt, they would not dare to touch the tiger whiskers of foreigners, even if it was just a little.

For example, suppose you greet his old mother in front of a certain marshal in the Republic of China, and even give him a loud slap in the face.It doesn't matter, as long as you can get out in time and escape into the concession, then congratulations, this majestic commander can only jump around outside the concession but has nothing to do with you.In the entire history of the Republic of China, only Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Yongxiang, was slapped by Huang Jinrong for molesting a female actress, and he sent troops into the concession to capture him. No one dared to openly enter the concession with armed forces Do this and that.

Even the arrogant Japanese dared not attack Pearl Harbor before the momentary attack. After all, there is only one guy like Lu Xiaojia who can cheat patriotism out of patriotism in modern history.

Wang Zhenyu quickly shook his head, not letting himself, who saw the concession for the first time, continue to think wildly.He came this time with only one purpose, to find a foreign company established in Hankou, and see if he could dispose of the batch of military supplies he just got.Looking at it now, there is only such a channel.

Chapter 024

After thinking about it for a few days, the more Wang Zhenyu thought about it, the more he felt that this batch of munitions was too hot to handle. If only he had gotten this batch of supplies earlier and then withdrew them together with Wang Longzhong.

Now it is no longer possible. Wang Zhenyu can trust the loyalty of his subordinates, but he cannot trust their strength.

This batch of supplies is now secretly hidden in the garrison, as long as they leave the defense zone, they will be in danger.So I can only find a way to deal with it on the spot, and it would be great to be able to exchange it all for money.

During the period of the Republic of China, the production level of military industry was actually extremely backward. If any warlord can master an arsenal, he can stand out in this period of history.

Why was the Zhili Clique able to compete with the Anhui Clan, which controlled the central government and received a large amount of Japanese military aid?It is because of Cao Kun that Wu Peifu firmly controls the Hanyang Arsenal and Gongxian Arsenal.The reason why the Feng faction was able to hit the Yangtze River Basin at one time was because Zhang Zuolin owned the Fengtian Arsenal, which was one of the four major arsenals in the Republic of China.The only exception may be the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Nationalist Government. They must not rely on the Guangzhou Ishii Arsenal to unify the country.The production capacity of that factory is too small, and the formation of the party and army depends entirely on the military assistance of Soviet and Russian friends with malicious intentions.

It's getting farther, Wang Zhenyu now really wants to find a foreign aid, preferably a foreign aid full of internationalism.As for the infamy of traitors, he is not afraid. After all, history is written by the victors. When he seizes the power of the whole country, this disgraceful history will be over with one stroke of his pen!

But why do people help you, a small character with no money, no power and no territory?When you are a foreigner, you are doing charity work!If you have nothing to do, go to China to find revolutionary comrades and old friends, and then throw 200 billion US dollars in interest-free loans plus n army equipment for you to play with.There will be such a good thing in the world, go and live your Chinese dream!

Every time Wang Zhenyu thinks of this, he feels very sad. Looking at those time-travel novels, it is not that he is desperately buying arms to expand his team, but it is Wang Zhenyu's turn. If he doesn't buy it, he has to sell arms.It's really a waste of waste. If military fans and history fans of later generations know about it, they can't call themselves a stupid pig.

But there is no way, it is not your own things that you are destined to be unable to take away, if you want to take it away, you have to find someone to exchange for cash.

Wang Zhenyu had gone to several foreign firms, and they knew the rules, so they didn't ask too many questions, but even if they asked, the timid and cautious Wang Zhenyu couldn't answer them.

After asking all the way, the basic market situation of Hanyang Manufacturing was finally figured out.Before the revolution, the price of a piece made in Hanyang was 40 yuan, but once the revolution broke out, the demand for arms in various places increased significantly.However, since the Hanyang Armory Factory fell into the hands of the revolutionary army, many provinces that originally relied on the Hanyang Armory Factory for supplies are now completely out of stock.Both the revolutionary army and the Qing army are frantically forming new armies and expanding their strength.The current arms trade is basically in a state of price but no market. The price of Hanyang has soared from the initial 20 yuan to 80 yuan, but this can only be supplied on a small scale.

[-] pieces were made in Hanyang, which was enough equipment to arm a Zhenxin army.Wang Zhenyu thought it would be easy to sell, but when he arrived in the concession, he found that these foreign firms couldn't afford it. It seemed that everyone was seriously short of cash, and Wang Zhenyu couldn't help feeling annoyed again.

The concession is so big, and all the major foreign firms are more or less involved in the arms business. The appearance of Wang Zhenyu and his party quickly attracted the attention of interested people.As for the quotation, it has risen from the initial 40 yuan to [-] yuan in just half a day.

In other words, if Wang Zhenyu makes a move, he will get 100 million silver dollars, which is not a decimal number.However, what Wang Zhenyu felt after hearing the quotation from the intermediary was not a business opportunity but a hint of danger, so he decided to leave the concession immediately.Don't expose your wealth, I have two people with me, Ma Xicheng and Zhao Dongsheng, if someone is interested in me, I will be in trouble, and it will not be uncommon to be killed and thrown into the Yangtze River to feed the fish How can Wang Zhenyu not know what kind of virtue his compatriots have when they face money.

Besides, didn't you do the same thing a few days ago?As for the disposal of this batch of arms, let's wait for the right time to talk about it.

Being able to get out when the situation is not going well is probably one of Wang Zhenyu's great advantages in later generations!

In the end, when we reached the pier, we encountered a chance for a hero to save the beauty.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, play with our brothers, don't go!"

The three of Wang Zhenyu and his party saw five men dressed as workers entangle two terrified and trembling little girls not far from the dock. It is really a great "fine tradition" of the Chinese nation to condone evil deeds.However, there are always exceptions to the tradition. It seems that out of the so-called sense of justice, Wang Zhenyu and the three tacitly leaned over.

"Go away, you scumbags. If you don't get out of the way, we'll call the police."

Surrounded among them was Ye Ziwen, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, a well-known comprador in the concession. She was only 15 years old this year, and she was young, lively, mischievous and active.At this moment, the tears that she was afraid of were about to fall, and she regretted that she didn't listen to her father.Although my father repeatedly told me not to go out, I still took advantage of the opportunity when my father was not at home, and secretly changed into men's clothes with my maid Xiaoyue and ran out of the house. The only motive was to see the restored Wuchang City across the Yangtze River. That's all.

Little girls are always full of romance and fantasies about revolution that ordinary people can't understand.

As a result, before he walked to the river, he and his close maid, Xiaoyue, were spotted by the five seasoned hooligans in front of him.Even though Ye Ziwen is only 15 years old, she knows a little bit about the world. She knows that these people's repeated pestering must have malicious intentions, but she suffers from the fact that she came out secretly and did not bring a bodyguard with her. There is nothing she can do if she wants to get away now.

"We are stinky hooligans? Little girl, you can see clearly, this is Captain Xia Douyinxia of our inspection team, do you know what we are doing? Speaking out scares you to death, we are anti-Tartar militia fighters, now The revolution is over, and the good times of you rich people are coming to an end, and we will be the ones who will be the ones in the future. We Brother Xia thinks you are pretty, and intends to praise you, so don't be ignorant of it." One of the men was in his early thirties, showing off to Ye Ziwen very proudly.

"That's right, our big brother Xia thinks highly of you, so you can obediently follow us to Wuchang to be an official's wife, hahahaha" Several other men also chimed in.

The man called Big Brother Xia stood aside with a smile on his face, looking at the pale Ye Ziwen.This person's real name is Xia Douyin, and he looks quite handsome, and he is indeed the captain of the military government's inspection team.Today, he wanted to bring a few younger brothers from the inspection brigade to the Hankou Concession to have fun, but he didn't expect that the prices of the kilns were all raised because of the good business, and the money he brought was not enough to play.As a last resort, they had no choice but to go back to Wuchang with their stomachs full of evil fire. Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked to the pier, they met this little girl in front of him who shocked him to heaven.Xia Douyin is not a first-timer like Wang Zhenyu, so he recognized these two beauties disguised as men at a glance.That exquisite face, elegant temperament, fair skin, exquisite figure, and more importantly, the expression in the little girl's phoenix eyes and pretty eyebrows, completely inspired his desire to conquer.He decided to take this most beautiful little girl back, and as for the other one by his side, let the brothers have fun.

The most obvious achievement of the revolution is to completely awaken the sense of "ownership" of the dock workers who were oppressed every day at the docks in the concession, but this sense of ownership seems a bit deformed, as if there is no protection of the construction However, it is full of the desire to destroy and destroy.If you want to compare, it is like a eunuch who has lost his roots and suddenly gains power one day. He is not thinking about how to do good, but eager to demonstrate this power by doing evil.

Xia Douyin and others now feel that their identities are different from those in the past, and they have gained a lot of courage in doing things.The timidity of the past has long since disappeared, and now there is only unscrupulousness.

But this is a concession, he thinks it's better to leave early, if it really attracts patrols from the concession, it will be somewhat troublesome.So he gave the middle-aged man who was speaking a wink, and the man immediately made a move.Grabbing Ye Ziwen's jade arm, she was going to take her to the pier without saying a word, while the others grabbed Xiaoyue.

"What kind of revolutionary army are you? You are just a group of hooligans, not as good as Tartars!" The two girls cried out for help while struggling desperately.

Don't look, just listen to what this group of people say, and Wang Zhenyu knows that these ** are probably members of the local Hui Party in Hubei.In later generations, due to the need for political propaganda, revolutionaries are rendered as an extremely holy term in the eyes of most people, but all revolutionaries must be thoughtful, enlightened, educated, qualified, loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous A brave saint.But in fact, the revolutionary team is also composed of people, and naturally it is filled with all kinds of people.Thinking about it, the most enthusiastic people in the business of beheading such as revolution, besides those young people full of ideals, are these party members who are beyond the three realms and not among the five elements. Friends, you are so reserved.

Uh, it's actually the underworld known to later generations.Using the definition given by a great man in later generations, it is estimated that they are worker and peasant cadres. Of course, what if these underworld elements at the bottom of society cannot be educated and transformed into worker and peasant cadres?It doesn't matter, there is still a very clear definition, lumpen proletariat, this belongs to politically disobedient, and all of them must be eliminated.

Wang Zhenyu knows the truth, but he may not be able to think so in the real environment.

These useless things are actually militiamen like himself. Thinking about it, Wang Zhenyu feels ashamed, why don't he help these two little girls and come out as a hero to save the beauty?

He turned his head and looked at the two Ma Dahas who were closely following him. On this side, Ma Xicheng still looked like an old god, dispensable; look.

Wang Zhenyu shook his head and thought, young people are just impulsive.But actually among the three, Zhao Dongsheng is the oldest one.

It has been almost a month since he came to this era, and now Wang Zhenyu, who has already killed people with his own hands, is no longer the downcast post-80s of later generations.He turned his mind quickly and judged the situation of the enemy and ourselves in front of him.There is no need to worry too much. Since we are entering the concession, it is impossible for any of us to be allowed to carry weapons on our bodies.If you really want to do it, you will definitely not suffer if you have Zhao Dongsheng who is strong enough to wrestle with a bull by your side.As for the consequences, there are so many militiamen in Hubei, as long as you are not stupid enough to report your family name when you fight, where will the opponent find you after the fight?Since there is no trouble, don't hesitate to do it.

Wang Zhenyu deliberately glanced at Zhao Dongsheng and said, "Oh, third child, these people have disgraced our militia. I really want to teach them a lesson, but there are five of them, and we only have three. Here... "

Before Wang Zhenyu finished speaking, Zhao Dongsheng patted his chest and said, "My lord, it's okay, I, Mr. Zhao, can clean them up all by myself."

Wang Zhenyu looked at Ma Xicheng happily again: "Then let's do it?"

As a result, before Ma Xicheng made a statement, Zhao Dongsheng rushed forward without saying a word, and shocked Wang Zhenyu who was about to make fun of him.

Fearing that Zhao Dongsheng would be defeated by two fists and four hands, Wang Zhenyu quickly patted Ma Xicheng on the shoulder and rushed up.

Chapter 025 Hankou Ye Family ([-])

The tall Zhao Dongsheng naturally took advantage of this kind of street fight. He was tall and strong with long arms and he just hit two heavy punches when he went up.The two men with their backs to Zhao Dongsheng were unprepared, and they were hit hard on the back of the head. It was an impact of three to four hundred catties, which directly knocked the two men to the ground, and directly lost their fighting power. .

Suddenly Cheng Yaojin came out and startled the middle-aged man who was holding Ye Ziwen's arm: "Who are you and what are you doing?"
