As the saying goes, one shot of a machine gun brings ten thousand taels of gold. Song Biao had fifty machine guns in his hand, which was comparable to fifty money printing machines in such a troubled era.

Song Biao just set up twenty machine guns on the mountain streams on the north and south sides of Dadu Ridge, fired seven boxes of bullets, killed more than 3,000 bandits, and gained more than 3 million taels of silver.

The joy of a warlord's life is fully revealed at this moment.

It took almost a whole day. In the evening, the brothers of the infantry regiment cleared the battlefield. With the support of Xue Changqing's transportation brigade, they headed all the way to Tonghua County. The bodies of the three thousand bearded men were also transported there.

The bearded men who were captured alive were tied together in strings and paraded through the streets.

Song Biao was riding a rare silver-grey French Anglo-Arabian horse captured from the Japanese army. It was said to be the ancient mount of Akiyama Hao, commander of the Japanese First Cavalry Brigade. He was wearing the navy blue senior officer uniform of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

Wearing the rank insignia of an infantry colonel and the first-class gold star of St. George, he holds a Chasik saber inlaid with gold ornaments and diamonds.

On both sides of Song Biao and in front of him, there were cavalry troops behind him, and the Poltava Cavalry Regiment was leading the way, and the Russian Far East Third Infantry Regiment was at the bottom. With such a powerful lineup, he fought against the Tonghua area during the war

Entered Tonghua County as the supreme commander.

In fact, there are not many people left in Tonghua County. The bandits have been wreaking havoc here for two months. All those who could escape have escaped. Countless wealthy gentry households have been killed and robbed. If not for this, the bandits would have left Tonghua County.

Where did the large amount of wealth brought out come from?

The only villagers in the county town were particularly overjoyed. Regardless of whether it was a Russian or a Kwantung army, as long as the beards were chopped off, it was a good army. The county residents lit up dozens of banners on both sides of the street.

Firecrackers and gongs and drums were used to welcome Song Biao's troops into the county. The few remaining local gentry and celebrities greeted Song Biao in front of the county government office with tears streaming down their faces.

Seeing clearly that Song Biao was actually one of their own, the squires and celebrities were greatly surprised. They stepped forward to greet them one after another, and even rewarded the three armies. This was of course an unavoidable custom, otherwise these soldiers would have to eat again if they didn't have enough to eat.

Find someone to blackmail you.

Song Biao coolly accepted the courtesy of the distinguished squires, several ministers, and a candidate magistrate. He did not eat any of their meals as a thank-you banquet, but only sent Hu Dalin and Major Kornilov.

As a representative, I lived in the county government office with my brothers.

That night, Song Biao continued to prepare a table of wine and food for Colonel Aoki Xuanzhun, as well as Lao Jintou, Hu Dalin and Xue Changqing. Song Biao and the others had a lively meal, while Colonel Aoki Xuanzhun was extremely embarrassed.

.

Song Biao deliberately recruited an old beard like Hu Dalin who did not understand romance to be an escort, so that Colonel Aoki Xuanzhun would not continue to take the opportunity to show off his sinology skills with him. Moreover, Song Biao also deliberately made it clear that Colonel Aoki Xuanzhun would not be regarded as an outsider.

After talking about the future arrangements with Hu Dalin, he decided not to go to the Japanese-Russian battlefield and make real money from now on.

Song Biao was really not feeling well at this time and had a slight fever, so Yang Sangui, the barefoot doctor, had someone stew ginger chicken soup and serve it to him.

This occasion was basically the same as having a dinner party at home. Lao Jintou immediately served a large bowl to Song Biao and Colonel Aoki Xuanzhun, and told Song Biao: "Master, even though you are in great health, you are still in good health.

I can't stand the old snow in Guandong. This big bowl of ginger chicken soup was specially prepared by Sanguizi for you, so you must eat it all."

Song Biao smiled and said: "This stuff is good, Colonel Aoki, you're welcome, please eat more to keep out the cold!"

Colonel Aoki stood up politely, took the bowl of soup from Lao Jintou with both hands, bowed and thanked him: "Thank you Colonel Song and Mr. Jin for their kindness. I am a prisoner of war, and I can't thank you enough for taking such care of me!"

"

"Why……!"

Song Biao waved his hand and emphasized again: "Colonel Aoki, you are too rigid. Didn't I tell you, how can you be regarded as a prisoner of war here? I am inviting you to be a guest, to fight and make money.

It’s about making money, it’s about friendship, these are three different things!”

Aoki Xuanzhun sighed: "What Colonel Song said is true. I will thank you for your hospitality."

Song Biao laughed and said: "Easy to say, easy to say."

At this moment, Zhao Tingzhu hurriedly walked in again, holding a stack of land deeds, Tian deeds, and Song Biao smiled and said: "Master, we finally figured it out clearly, the land deeds are three thousand seven hundred and forty days,

The land deeds and house deeds together occupy three streets in Tonghua County."

Song Biao took all the land deeds and looked through them, and asked Zhao Tingzhu to sit down and eat together. He casually asked Hu Dalin, "What did the bandits do when they robbed these land deeds?"

Hu Dalin said: "Hey, you robbed someone else's land deed, resold it, and then sold it back. Once you put the person in custody, if you don't have money, you can take the land deed and replace it with someone else, and then exchange it for money later. I mean, these bandits are really good at robbing people."

It's ruthless enough. I don't think it's a kidnapping. They just come to the door and rob them all. Whatever is available, they rob it."

Song Biao sighed and looked through all the land deeds carefully. The locations are still very good. They are basically concentrated around the county and Xidian and the Jinchang area, especially Xidianzi, which is the largest granary in Tonghua County.

The new city rebuilt in the 1970s was located there.

After thinking for a moment, he and Hu Dalin asked: "What do you think we will do if we take these land deeds?"

Hu Dalin said: "It's easy to handle, Mr. Master, you leave all these messy things to me. I'm familiar with the family. Without saying anything, whose land deeds continue to be redeemed with money, and if they can't be redeemed, then

Let’s sell it directly. But the land price is too cheap right now, and it’s not cost-effective to sell the land at this time. So we can simply rent it to farmers to plant it first, and then sell it next year and the year after that. Otherwise, we will keep it in our hands to collect rent. Three thousand

With seven hundred days of land, tens of thousands of tons of grain are produced every year just by collecting rent.”

Song Biao thought for a moment and then told Hu Dalin: "I'll leave this matter to you. Tomorrow you put up a notice in front of the county government office and the city gate, saying that Tonghua City is now taken over by our Manchurian Infantry Division. Previously, the bandit Six

More than a thousand people have been wiped out by our army. If there are other bandits who dare to do evil in Tonghua, they will be killed without mercy and will not be tolerated. As for the deeds of the land robbed by the bandits, because there is no certificate to check, new tenants will be rented from now on.

After five years of farming, you can get the land title."

Hu Dalin was greatly surprised and asked: "Master, aren't you doing this too cheap for everyone? How much rent can you collect in five years? You might as well sell it all at once!"

Song Biao smiled and replied confidently: "You have been with me for some time. When did I see your Master Biao doing a loss-making business?"

Hu Dalin smiled and said: "That's true, okay, I will do it as you said tomorrow."

Zhao Tingzhu asked Song Biao: "What should I do with those land deeds?"

Song Biao thought for a moment and said: "The land deed will be returned to the original owner. If the original owner is unknown or there is no real evidence, the original shop tenants will continue to use it without rent, and then deal with it again after a period of time."

Zhao Tingzhu nodded.

Song Biao thought about it in his mind for a moment, and Zhao Tingzhu and Hu Dalin ordered: "You should be more careful during this time to find out where the bandits robbed the money and land deeds. Small households should do it quickly. If it is a large local household,

Squire, if you can get it, just keep it, if you can, confiscate it, don't be polite to them. I see they are greeting us at the door so enthusiastically, I'm afraid they want to ask for money from us."

Zhao Tingzhu said: "This is normal, but they themselves may find it difficult to come back, right? There are too many bandits. I am afraid that the big and small households are robbed together. They rob whatever they encounter. There are many people in the small households, so it is better to go first.

Paying off some will easily appease public anger. As for the local wealthy squires, I think they will just accept their bad luck. When did our Manchurian Infantry Division become a good enemy again?"

Song Biao did not answer, but he still agreed in his heart. It was not that he did not want to gain a false reputation, but that the price of such false reputation was too high.

There are 3,700 acres of land, and the rent alone can produce tens of thousands of tons of grain a year.

At this time, Song Biaocai and Colonel Nobujun Aoki beside him said tentatively: "Colonel, how do you think my business is doing now?"

Aoki Xuanzhun sighed helplessly: "It couldn't be better. Colonel Song is a rare wise man in Manchuria. The last time we met, I was unable to negotiate a cooperation agreement with you. It is really the biggest regret in my life."

Song Biao laughed and said: "Colonel, you don't have to blame yourself. Life is like a roller coaster, with ups and downs. No one can predict it. The reason why I didn't want to join the Japanese army at the beginning was because you had too many big bandits, like Feng Linge.

What benefits can I gain if you have thousands of Liaozhong bandits following you? As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. The ancients said that giving someone timely help is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I say that selling help when it is timely is a good business.

That’s why I went to the Russians to promote myself. At that time, I really didn’t dare to say that I had just killed a Russian transport team, and I specifically used the name of the Huichun Caravan to negotiate with the Russian army. As expected, the Russian army also opened it for me.

For a high price, he promised to fund me to build a Manchurian infantry regiment. The guns and ammunition were all purchased by the Russian army, and he also received a military salary of 250,000 rubles per month. The original intention was to make me responsible for eradicating bandits. As a condition,

They allowed me to sell grain in Shenyang City, and also introduced me to many friends from the Russian army, and agreed to sell me various materials they didn’t want at low prices. You said this business was very profitable, but you didn’t expect that when I first contacted

It was General Mishuchenko's Kuban Cossack Cavalry. They happened to be going to the front line and had to transport a large amount of supplies. They also needed some laborers who could dig fortifications. They happened to catch me, so I could only bite the bullet and follow them.

Originally, I was responsible for digging trenches and transporting some supplies, but I am a bandit unit. We are all locals. It is very convenient to inspect your front line. When I arrived at the front of Shendanbao position, I saw this.

I just found out that General Akiyama Haogu prepared a large machine gun array to deal with General Mishuchenko's cavalry. I made a suggestion to General Mishuchenko, suggesting that he take a detour to Heigoutai and not get involved in Shendan Fort.

This time, General Mishuchenko was also a human being. His head hurt when he saw so many machine guns, so he simply followed my suggestion and went to Heigoutai. After that, there was complete chaos. In the end, even my troops

Rushed up."

After listening to what Song Biao said, Aoki Xuanchun suddenly realized that he had just arrived in Tonghua County in person last week, trying to find a few main forces worth cultivating among the six thousand bandits in Tonghua, and also tossing out a Manchurian rebel army and a Russian army

To compete with the Manchurian Infantry Regiment, he brought a large amount of Japanese yen notes and ammunition... As a result, Song Biao was unlucky and gave Song Biao the equipment and ammunition of a regiment in vain, as well as the millions of Japanese yen notes and more than ten dozen

Box of balls.

Aoki Xuanzhun was still very interested in Song Biao's experience in the Battle of Heigoutai. He happened to have also detected part of the intelligence, so he asked Song Biao: "I know from the intelligence that you used other weapons in the Russian army."

The pseudonym of O. Vladimir Song. The Russian army is currently promoting a popularized standard tactic called the Bieo tactic. The Russians commonly call it the butcher tactic. It is in response to our army's night offensive. It is said that this standardized tactic is the prototype.

It's what you created, is there such a thing?"

Song Biao pointed to the St. George First Class Gold Star Medal on his chest and replied sternly: "This is indeed the case. You should remember that I once ambushed a squadron of your army in Qiandongling. That night, I

In fact, I won by chance. I felt palpitated for a long time afterward. I have been wondering why your soldiers are so fearless of death. For a long time, I was thinking about this issue and also thinking about countermeasures to defeat your night offensive. I thought there were many things

It all happened for a reason. On the Heigoutai front, I had been observing and studying the Russian army's fortification structure. We happened to be in charge of digging the fortifications, so I was always at the forefront of the front. I was learning and thinking at the same time. It was also good luck.

Well, I happened to have a batch of shotguns in my hand, and the Cossack cavalry had a very special spear. Combining the two, I came up with the prototype of the butcher tactic. Later, when I tested it on the battlefield, the effect was indeed very good."

Colonel Nobujun Aoki sighed for a while and said: "Colonel Song is indeed a brilliant man from Kanto. He has extremely high understanding and is born to be a famous general. But you have really harmed us. Your Excellency is so talented that our army cannot use it. It's really me."

It’s a sin.”

Song Biao laughed, poured wine for Colonel Nobuzumi Aoki himself, and clinked glasses with him: "Colonel, you don't have to blame yourself so much. The bustling people are all for profit. I am so desperate and deliberately try my luck with the Russian army just to make money."

.After experiencing the test of war for these few months, I finally understand that war only serves the economy, and economy is the basis for the survival of a nation. To put it bluntly, we are all fighting for money, but you Japanese soldiers are

The Russian army is fighting for the survival and development of the Japanese nation. The Russian army is fighting to make a fortune in the Far East and China. Your will is stronger, so the soldiers are not afraid of death. On the surface, our army and

Your fighting spirit is incomparable, but we are also fighting for survival, but we are fighting for the survival of our brothers."

Colonel Nobuzumi Aoki raised his glass with both hands and said: "Your Excellency, you have such a high opinion. You hit the nail on the head. Aoki is very impressed!"

After saying this, he and Song Biao drank the bitter and spicy soju at the same time.
