He and Wang Ziqi are both paupers, and the money they fight is like flowing water!

According to Liu Jingxiao's estimate, it took about 300,000 yuan per month to start a war. Now, after more than half a month of fighting, the troops transferred to the front line are only half an infantry division. As a result, each unit went to Chen Xianqiao to settle the settlement, and a total of 400,000 oceans were spent.

It turned out that the Yimeng Mountains had been war-torn for a long time, and the green and yellow were not in contact with each other. The people's grain was empty. The troops hired a large number of civilians to transport grain supplies forward, and requisitioned thousands of civilians for a time. Although the eyes were so beautiful, many unreasonable expenses were deleted at once. The total amount was as much as 400,000. Even so, the troops still couldn't afford to eat. Sima Kan complained to Liu Jingxiao and said, "We can't even eat millet!"

In fact, many troops can only eat two meals a day, and in the most difficult time, they even have to eat two porridge one day.

Even more serious, Chen Xianqiao was also complaining. He thought that Liu Jingxiao was using the policy of rest and recuperation, and would not fight for a war in the short time, so he issued a large number of loans, but he became very nervous when he used the money temporarily.

Of course, Chen Xianqiao used a very smart method. She issued two types of loans. One was a government-based agricultural loan. The money was not directly issued, but Chen Xianqiao bought a large number of oxen and farm tools from other places and then distributed them to farmers. This method has a deep meaning. Food is the most important thing for people. If the loan is issued directly, it may be just purchased from people with abundant oxen and farm tools, and adjusted within the southern Shandong region. The total number of oxen and farm tools will not increase, so Chen Xianqiao would rather use this method.

The other type is industrial and commercial loans. The industry is mainly coal mines in Zaozhuang area, with their affiliated industries, and Linyi's cotton textile industry, and commercial loans are all over the southern part of Shandong. In addition, Shandong is a situation where all waste is prosperous. In addition, Lunan Bank has insufficient chips and only earns 200,000 yuan from official shares. Therefore, Shen Xianqiao came forward and lent Lunan Bank 300,000 yuan as working capital, which made the market active.

A new small arsenal was established within the 17th Division. The 17th Division originally had a small repair facility, which was very small in scale. Its history can be traced to the Dingbian Army in the north of Mobei. It could only make some bayonets and repair some damaged rifles. However, when the troops became larger, they often had tens of thousands of bullets and hundreds of shells in one battle. The assets of the 17th Division were still the goods accumulated in history. The Yimeng Battle was not large in scale, but the ammunition consumed was a huge amount. Although it could not be said that the warehouse was empty, it could be said that there were not many left. On average, there were only three or four bullets left for each rifle per rifle, and the howitzers in the mountain were almost exhausted.

If he continues to fight, Liu Jingxiao's troops can only find ways to fight hand-to-hand combat. Fortunately, although the port of Rizhao is controlled by Wang Ziqi, Liu Jingxiao also has a garrison, so he can import a batch of ammunition for emergency response.

After learning from the pain, Liu Jingxiao decided not to be controlled by others. The light industry in southern Shandong was quite basic. He had a long time friendship with Taiwan Xiao Diji, and immediately purchased a batch of arms manufacturing machines from Taiwan. It was just that friendship was due to friendship, and friends were due to friends, and what he paid was still real money.

As a result, Liu Jingxiao's silver was poured out of his pocket. Fortunately, he fought in the north and south and plundered a large amount of cash everywhere. However, now Shen Xianqiao asks him for me as soon as he gets home all day. Although Liu Jingxiao's small treasury has not bottomed out, it looks like a 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

Of course, Liu Jingxiao complained, and Wang Ziqi was naturally not feeling well. The front line almost lost the troops of a mixed brigade, and with huge military expenditures, Wang Duke was determined to send troops to flatten Liu Jingxiao's troops, and he was unable to deal with the representatives of the tertiary industry who came to ask for deflowering fees.

Don’t look at the lack of money, the representatives of the negotiations on both sides were very hard, and the provincial party shouted: “You withdraw from Yishui immediately, otherwise we will start the army and flatten you!”

Chen Fangren, the negotiator sent by Liu Jingxiao, was even tougher. The guy shouted: "Just fight! Let's clean up the three mixed brigades in one morning. How many mixed brigades do you have? Yishui and Mengyin were recovered from the bandits. We must not let you!"

Recovered from the bandits? The provincial army, which was obviously a defender, heard that Sima Kan led his troops to pursue him and ran away quickly. As a result, Sima Kan entered Yishui without fighting, but both sides were unwilling to break the blame. Liu Jingxiao said: "The provincial army changed its defenses, and the bandits took the opportunity to occupy Yishui. Our army took the initiative to attack and recover Yishui..."

To this point, it seems that it is about to break out. Wang Ziqi issued a "Telector of the robbery against Liu" and "General Attack Order" every day, and finally defined Liu Jingxiao as "the leader of southern Shandong". Liu Jingxiao also issued a "Petition for the people of southern Shandong" and "Transfer to the people of Yimeng to tell the people of division Liu not to withdraw their troops". As for the name, there are also coming and going, calling Wang Ziqi "a military important person in the province". It was really lively.

Official intention is public opinion, telegrams and newspapers fly all day long, the Ministry of Transportation and Postal Administration made a big deal that month, and completed the first quarter's task indicators in half a month. Anyway, it was "the vast number of nuns in Shandong informed Commander Liu to withdraw troops from Shandong as soon as possible", "The Linyi Buddhist community, brothel community, Christian community, and Taoist community unlimitedly supported Commander Liu's righteous actions and telegraphed the news." A chamber of commerce would also send two completely different telegrams, and as for petition parades, it was common. In that month, the primary schools in Jinan only went to the streets for half a day every day, holding small flags every day, shouting loudly: "Swear to fight against Liu, the bandit leader who was separating Shandong from the death to the death!" Therefore, the primary school student said happily: "This is a great day!"

There are also some Taiwan-demolition factions within the province led by the four major players in Jiaodong. They support Wang Ziqi on the surface, but in fact they destroy Wang Ziqi's Taiwan in the provincial parliament, shouting "Peace! Peace! The two sides are breaking off contact on the spot!"

Leaving contact on the spot? That is, Liu Jingxiao does not have to give up the Yishui occupied. Liu Jingxiao immediately asked everyone to shoot telegrams with warm support. The next day, the General Postal Administration specially sent two postmen to deliver hundreds of telegrams. The provincial parliament was trapped in the ocean of letters in the next half month. Moreover, these letters can be divided into two factions, each with similar words, paper, similar handwriting, and they were also sent from the same postbox.

Unfortunately, such a wide range of telecommunications movements silently cover up the trend of history, and the earth-shaking telegram of Chen Yunjie. Since both sides have no money, the battle cannot be fought.

The focus of the negotiations between the two sides is still the Yishui issue. Liu Jingxiao felt that the battle was spent too much money and it could not be fought in vain. Yishui must be obtained. The provincial side said that Mengyin could be given to Liu Jingxiao, but Yishui was fought over by the 17th Division, which was related to the prestige of the provincial side and could not be negotiated.

After a full half month of talk, after a fiercer verbal battle than on the battlefield, an agreement was finally reached, and the territory of Yishui was handed over to the 17th Division, but the regular army of Liu Jingxiao withdrew from Yishui and only sent a security force to strengthen the company to stay in Yishui. Yishui's fiscal revenue belonged to the provincial government but not to southern Shandong.

This agreement also recognizes the fact that Liu Jingxiao is in southern Shandong. The two sides reached a consensus on the fiscal revenue of southern Shandong that Shandong had experienced wars for a long time and the finances were very difficult. Therefore, all the fiscal revenue of southern Shandong was retained by themselves this year, and the provincial government would not release the funds. Only one-time payment of 100,000 yuan at the end of the year. Starting next year, both parties will share the funds that should be resolved. As for the appointment and removal of officials, they will be responsible for all. They will only report to Wang Ziqi for review in formal manner. Of course, neither party mentioned that the funds that should be resolved by the central government. Anyway, the Northern Government has no right to take charge of this matter.

The new Governor Ding has made great efforts to reach this agreement. Both sides respect him very much. As soon as he spoke, he immediately made a final decision and reached a final agreement. Afterwards, Liu Jingxiao said to several leaders: "Give Brother Ding some face! I didn't want to pay the 100,000 yuan at the end of this year!"

Wang Ziqi immediately held Governor Ding tightly and was very grateful. After a while, he turned around and whispered to several cadres: "Grandma! I only scratched out this little thing when I asked this old guy to come forward."

Of course, there were some interesting things afterwards. The Jinan brothel Federation originally held a meeting to publicly denounce Liu as lustful as a madman and harm many women in brothels. As soon as he heard the agreement reached, Shangguan immediately changed his caliber, but forgot to change the promotional materials.

As a result, the radiant prostitutes distributed propaganda such as "Liu Jingxiao and I - the past that cannot be looked back on", "The blood and tears history of southern Shandong - my unfortunate encounter in Linyi", "Awakening of nightmare - Seven-day talks on Liu Mansion", shouting: "Director Wang! Dian Wang! Great Dian Wang! Pacifist! We are willing to accompany you to the chang for free!"

Just considering Liu Jingxiao's rebound, he took back the promotional materials afterwards. When Bai Siwen heard about such a beautiful title, he immediately became interested and spent a lot of money to get it. He was ready to evaluate it with a critical perspective, shouting: "I'm fooled! I'm fooled! Didn't I buy an embroidered brothel last month? I'm fooled!"

However, after this battle, everyone had a consensus, that is, due to logistical concerns, the Yimeng Mountains are not suitable for large forces. If Liu Jingxiao and Wang Ziqi go to war again, the war will roughly start in the Jinpu Road area. Liu Jingxiao is in the Tengzou area, and Wang Ziqi controls Yanzhou and Jining. The area is convenient for transportation and dense population, and it is very convenient to raise military supplies.

Therefore, both sides attached great importance to the military preparations on this line. Liu Jingxiao transferred his own Li Heyi's Third Regiment and Xiao Rulang's Fourth Regiment, and made his basic troops' Second Regiment ready to head towards Jinpu Road at any time. Xiao Maxiong also brought his security forces into the Tengzou area.

The provincial party committee's adjustment efforts were not small. Battalion Commander Shen Ying, who was guarding Xintai, was promoted to the regiment commander for his merits. Wang Ziqi asked him to accommodate the remaining soldiers and moved the troops to Jining. The Second Mixed Brigade suffered casualties in this battle and suffered many defeats. The troops were originally less than a regiment. However, after the two sides reached an agreement, Liu Jingxiao released the provincial officers and soldiers and handed over the guns and ammunition to the security forces.

Wang Ziqi then rebuilt a second mixed brigade from the Independent Regiment of the Fifth Division to rebuild a base, and added most of the officers and soldiers released into the Shen Ying Regiment, and at the same time supplemented the weapons and equipment, and changed the Shen Ying Regiment to the First Independent Regiment of the Shandong Army. This was a method of concealing the people. The total strength of this independent regiment exceeded 3,000. Commander Shen soared into the sky. In addition, Wang Governor made a wish to be appointed as an official, so he naturally felt grateful to Wang Governor. He also increased his troops to the flank Sishui, Qufu, and the provincial government.

Based on the lessons of this Mengyin Battle, Wang Ziqi felt that the troops were insufficient. The rebuilt Second Mixed Brigade was actually larger than the divisions of many provincial troops. It actually had three regiments, and after the formation, the total force would reach 7,000.

After the war, the King of King miraculously got some money. Of course, this was not his contribution to Wang Ziqi, but was plundered by Ding Chong.

Since ancient times, solving financial problems has only been done in four words: "Increase revenue and reduce expenditure!"

Practicing thrift and chastity is absolutely not possible. Now Wang Du is the top leader. Ding Chong is not drunk yet, and he can always distinguish his position, so he put his mind on the word "open source".

The three county magistrates he brought to the Finance Department were all great people who were proficient in food, drink, gamble. Under the guidance of Zhang Ke and Zhang Wishang, they were experts in making money. However, when they arrived at the Finance Department, the treasury was empty, and the money in the account was transferred away as soon as it was received. How could such a life be lived?

Wang Ziqi usually likes to manage finances himself, but he is not good at plundering but is good at spending money. He is especially enthusiastic about competing with all the rich, for fear that these pretty girls will meet bad people.

Under his management, Jinan's tertiary industry naturally flourished, and brothels did not forget the great kindness of Wang Duke. As soon as they spoke, they immediately gathered their sisters to march on the streets. Of course, in the warehouse, according to Wang Duke's own words, "I'm a little nervous!"

Now these former county magistrates are thinking about plundering money, but they can't even plunder money at the Finance Department. How embarrassing! Ding Chong has always been a soft-hearted person, but they came up with an idea: "Focus on the long-term development of the tertiary industry!"

Since the Republic, various places have collected "flower donations". This money is not collected from the daughter of Huanghua, but Wang Duke's daily office space. However, Wang Duke is very open-minded: "Collection of prostitutes? Why didn't I expect such a clever idea?"

It was immediately promulgated and implemented, and someone pointed to the announcement and praised: "Implementing flower donations is a respect for prostitutes!"

Everyone was puzzled and asked the reason. The man immediately said, "Isn't this sacrifice to the country?"

As the flowers bloomed, there were many names immediately. When the daughter got married and registered for marriage in the government, she had to collect two more yuan of donations from the house, otherwise she would not be registered. There were several casinos in Shandong, which were repeatedly banned. Now Ding Chong proposed to legalize them. Each county was handled by one person, and several handling fees were paid per year according to the size of the county. It was famous as "gambling". Everyone mocked him as "betting on orders!"

In order to improve the competitiveness of the industry, the brothel owner led the brigade of police to arrest secret prostitution. After the police caught secret prostitution, they naturally had both people and money. At that time, the bandits in southern Shandong were determined. Huang Yang had a bandit leader in his hands because there were too many enemies in the local area and fled to Jinan to find relatives to help him become a policeman. He wore a brand new police uniform on the first day of work and asked his colleagues: "What's the point of doing this police?"

After surviving a day, I caught a bunch of secret prostitutes, made a bunch of silver, played with a bunch of women, and slept for free all night in the brothel. The bandit leader suddenly realized: "It turns out that the police are exactly the same as us robbers!"

The casino owner also had an internal strife. He was so smart that he was a gambling planner and took the brigade police to the countryside to catch gambling. Since he was an expert, he naturally had excellent results. He caught a group of people everywhere, and then the police station's bonus was also settled.

Why? If you catch them, you will be fined regardless of the circumstances. Don’t pay it? OK! I have practiced hard qigong and must be very skilled. I don’t have other props here. As for tiger benches, plywoods, etc., come on, show me some of them!

Our fellow Shandong native Confucius once said that if you want to give up a great task to this person, you must first suffer your mind, work hard, and starve your body. As long as you have survived this time, you will be allowed to let you out!

But there are too many ordinary people, so why are they all paid fines and were protected? The police's extra money has increased rapidly, and there are also guys who have practiced hard qigong, but they fainted! Captain, what should I do? This is so good. A bucket of cold water will solve the problem. If it doesn't work, throw it into the field outside. You kid are stupid!

Wang Du made such a high evaluation of Ding Chong's move: "This move greatly promoted the development of the tertiary industry in Shandong Province, especially the secret prostitutes who have repeatedly banned low-level and vulgar men in history have been useless. They either moved to other provinces or entered a formal bookstore, which has laid the foundation for our province's outward-looking economy. Now all the girls in the building have elegant images and charming temperament... They have praised the majority of brothers, provincial and municipal officials and foreign guests, unanimously praised our work for its proficiency and also promoted the rapid development of Shandong's economy..."

Since there is an extroverted economy, there will naturally be domestic demand. This is the case with the "gambling industry" in the new era. It is said that counties not only open casinos, but also set up lottery tickets. According to public statements, it is taken from the people for the people, and the prizes are extremely generous. It is said that the first prize is a four-horse rubber wheel truck from BMW La in the Western Regions to deliver a beautiful woman. But it is not good luck. This first prize is for people passing by to touch the first prize. People from this county and province have touched some fragments, but it doesn't matter. Your money is to contribute your weak strength to our welfare cause!

Of course, there was no sign of renovation of the nursing home, nor did I send a bag of rice to the old man. I saw that the officials and the responsible person had a few more villas in the house, but it was said that the money was about to be pulled down soon.

Of course, the senior executives of Shandong Province are full of praise. The decadent thoughts in the past have been wiped out. Now we must give priority to creating good economic benefits, developing an outward-oriented economy, earning money from other provinces, and establishing a good image of our Shandong tourism industry.

These all kinds of fiscal revenues gave Wang Ziqi a little extra money and quickly bought a few more innocent people. He spent all night in his office and did not return late at night. He talked about the relationship between developing the tertiary industry and an outward-oriented economy, and trained some troops by the way.

As for the relationship between the provincial and other forces, they were still in peace. Wang Ziqi agreed to Laiyang to deal with the special circumstances of Jimo County, and the county magistrate could be the four masters of Jiaodong. As for the southern part of Shandong, Liu Jingxiao had enough to protect himself, but had no power to attack outside. At this time, he asked Ding Ning and his troops to encircle and suppress funds everywhere in the Yimeng Mountains.

However, there is nothing wrong with peace and danger. It is difficult for someone to be prepared for danger in peace, but this person is not a subordinate of the governor.

Liu Jingxiao looked at half of the information and asked, "What is this?"

Section Chief Xiong reported respectfully: "Terminal Commander! This is the information of the four major troops in Jiaodong!"

Liu Jingxiao was dawn. In his impression, the armed forces of the four great masters were basically not worth mentioning. The Lin family is the strongest, with only a guard with more than 30 people. The total number is less than 100. Why did Xiong Xi specially make a file? So he asked casually: "How many people are there?"

Neng Xi replied: "There are only eight hundred people, but there are more than three thousand guns! However, the four masters have a deep foundation in Jiaodong. As long as they take action, they will definitely be able to expand to five or six thousand!"

Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but be surprised: "So many?"

He knew what it meant to be more than 3,000 guns. An ordinary infantry regiment of Liu Jingxiao was under the jurisdiction of two battalions and eight companies, and was equipped with only a few more than 1,000 rifles. Only Han Xinhai regiment was fully established, and the 12th company of the Third Battalion and the 12th company of the Rifle was only 1,500. Now the four Jiaodong masters have more than 3,000 guns in their hands, but naturally they know nothing about it. It was really beyond his expectations.

Xiong Xi calculated the strength of the four Jiaodong masters one by one: "Teacher Commander, this is what I asked my subordinates to find out! On the surface, the four masters only had one guard, and the total number was only a hundred people... In fact, it was different. Laiyang and Jimo's county security teams were all their members, and the captain was also their son-in-law. This calculation was more than four hundred people. In addition, they had an armed force in the name of Lianzhuanghui, and there were more than three hundred people!"

But Liu Jingxiao asked the key point: "What's going on with those three thousand guns?"

Section Chief Xiong immediately reported: "They purchased three thousand rifles last year and placed them in secret in Linjiazhuang, Laiyang!"

With three thousand rifles and ammunition attached, the transportation cost is now considered, but it is worth more than 100,000 oceans. Liu Jingxiao didn't believe that Lin Baihe spent so much money to hide his weapon at home to fight birds, and asked, "Is it true? How to verify it?"

Section Chief Xiong replied: "It was verified through Taiwan Commander Xiao's relationship. Although they did it very cleanly, the goods were transported by Luzon Company's ship. Commander Xiao said that the ship was indeed arms, so we will find the warehouse order from the Shanghai Arsenal!"

Liu Jingxiao thought of another aspect, and said, "What I am worried about now is whether they still have accumulated arms, and how did they get such a large amount of arms? You send more people and find out for me! It seems that we have become the King of Southern Shandong, and some people also want to be the King of Jiaodong!"

After Liu Jingxiao met Lin Yichen the last time, he said casually: "Send additional personnel to find out about the situation of the four major players in Jiaodong!"

As a result, Section Chief Xiong spared no effort to execute, but he really caught a big fish. Liu Jingxiao had a lot of complaints about the Military Horse Statistics Department, especially in this battle of Yimeng, the information obtained was mostly outdated and there was no quality information.
Chapter completed!
