Chapter 13 Secret News

Smile! Smile! Liu Jingxiao could only smile bitterly. He opened several large warehouses in Guide City and took a closer look. Henan has indeed accumulated a lot of supplies, but the news given by Zhang Buyun is also too bad!

There are 5,000 mosquito nets, 10,000 sets of single clothes in summer, a bunch of silk and satin purchased by Li Fu, 3,000 sets of skirts that have been accumulated for many years, and a number of perfumes for counterfeit ladies... The supplies can be said to be dazzling, but they are all accumulated in summer. If Liu Jingxiao is a successful businessman, he can sign "seasonal clearance" outside the warehouse.

There was no shot or bullet in the warehouse. The only usefulness was that there was two thousand sets of cotton coats. However, Sima Kan ran up happily, but was surprised to find that these cotton coats were the old cotton coats they had replaced last year. Therefore, Sima Kan kept saying: "If I had known this, I would have cut off that boy Zhang Buyun first with a knife! It would save us from harming us!"

He was full of hatred. What could Liu Jingxiao say? These goods were for military use and were not worth much money. Instead, they seized some weapons and ammunition from the defenders. However, compared to the ammunition and medicine consumed, it was a drop in the bucket. However, this time the attack on Henan lost a lot of money. He could only shout: "Release the news of our capture of Guide and prepare for defense! I am afraid that I can't retreat at the moment, and I have to fight to the death!"

However, this is a turning point. Liu Jingxiao spent a lot of money to make a reputation. At least readers in Jinan know that Liu Jingxiao was shot dead under Guide City again (because Liu Jingxiao captured half of Shandong, Jinan newspapers generally dare not call Liu Jingxiao by Liu thief). In short, the provincial army has killed Liu Jingxiao no less than 20 or 30 times, and Liu Jingxiao's appreciation is getting higher and higher.

However, Liu Jingxiao, a demon, cannot be killed, so the propaganda agency of Wang Duke became smarter. Now he does not directly call him killing him, but uses "Guide's army won a great victory, killed many wounded, and killed a high-level officer. Liu Jingxiao's seal and other personal belongings were seized on the spot. According to the person involved, he should be Liu Jingxiao's name." This will increase the credibility of the news.

The propaganda organization of Li Duke of Henan was also very exciting. It just released that "Guide's army won a great victory, and the bandit headquarters of the 17th Division invaded the territory was defeated. Our army was pursuing the front line, and the results were counted now." Then the news that the defenders of Guide lost contact came, and they quickly announced: "Guide's solidity. The bandit headquarters launched thirty-six waves of offensives with the tactics of the sea of ​​people, and our army killed and injured 30,000 to 40,000 people under the city..."

Good guy, it turns out that Liu Jingxiao's troops were all filled in, but they were always slow. Not long after, Liu Jingxiao officially announced the capture of Guide, and won a great victory, capturing more than 6,000 enemy troops (this is a real number, but only counting all the officials and police in Guide City). There is no material (of course, I didn't say what specific materials it was, and how much money it spent to capture Guide). Now the 17th Division troops are continuing to advance towards Kaifeng.

In fact, when the news was released, gunfire was still endless in Guide City, and the defenders were still carrying out their final resistance. Liu Jingxiao was helpless against such a tenacious opponent. The small attack battle of Guide actually caused more than 2,000 major casualties in the 17th Division. It is expected that this is a very bloody battle.

However, Henan also took this matter and started writing: "Although our army in Guide has suffered a small setback, there is no shortage of food and ammunition in the city, and the morale of the defenders is high. It is absolutely no problem to stick to it for ten days..."

In less than ten days, when the news was sent out, Guide had fallen into the clutches of the evil willow thieves. Liu Jingxiao quickly ordered that all troops were not allowed to stay in the city, and the two battalions of the security forces that had just arrived entered the city to be responsible for the security tasks. All police and officials of all sizes and big and small will be retained and will continue to be responsible for maintaining public order.

Sima Kan was puzzled and asked, "Team Commander! The troops were very tired, why don't you rest in the city for a day or two?"

Liu Jingxiao asked coldly: "Do you think people sleeping in warm beds get up very early every day? I suspect that the troops will never be able to leave the city cloud again!"

Then Liu Jingxiao ordered: "Sima, send me orders to improve my salary. Each person should eat one pound of meat every day. If you like to eat pasta, eat pasta, and if you like to eat rice, eat rice. And the troops must eat hot dishes and hot rice, and there should be no problems with the tent! By the way, each person who smokes gives five packs of cigarettes a day, and those who don't smoke can change other things! It must be done!"

The treatment of the 17th Division has always been good, but improving life is only known as "three or two meats a day". Therefore, Sima Kan was stunned on the spot and finally asked: "Teacher, how can you mobilize so many things in a while!"

Liu Jingxiao had a plan, and he said, "Don't worry! You can contact Section Chief Xiong for this matter!"

Southern Shandong.

As soon as he heard that the front line had won a great victory, Linyi County Magistrate Zhang Xin immediately hung out firecrackers and continued to fire, and then started a large parade. The official intention is the public opinion. This is a permanent rule in China. The people of the county all know that Liu Jingxiao had won the battle, and as long as Commander Liu defeated Wang Ziqi, the taxes imposed this year will also be added.

Liu Jingxiao's taxes were not too heavy. It was just to maintain the wartime economy. A lot of taxes were imposed today. However, Liu Jingxiao's organizational efficiency was good. According to Shen Xianqiao's words, "It is better to have harsh donations than miscellaneous taxes." It is a bit heavy. However, under the endless tax oppression of Zhang Kelingling, the economy in southern Shandong finally improved a little.

Zhang Xin was satisfied and excited. The county magistrates on the side were also extremely satisfied. They only had a reward for their hard work this year. Just now, Shen Xianqiao came from the front line and sent everyone a big red envelope. Although the first county magistrate was taken away by Wang Lie, no one of them had made thousands of dollars.

Besides, there is great hope for Liu Jingxiao to take Shandong. He is a cavalry battalion and has followed Liu Jingxiao's old man and fought many battles. It is said that Mrs. Shen's intention was that Liu Jingxiao wanted to set up an administrative office in western Shandong. The candidates under consideration were himself, an old cadre. When he thought of this, he became even more excited.

It was just that someone had lost his appetite. Someone came over there and looked very handsome. However, Zhang Xin immediately lost his mood and could only ask politely: "Brother Swen, why are you here for me..."

Company Commander Bai Siwen nodded and bowed: "So they are all county magistrates, you are so respectful!"

He continued: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the army lacks side food. I would like to ask you guys for a little help!"

Wang Lie and Bai Siwen are friends for many years, and he said, "Xiaobai! What's the matter?"

Bai Siwen said: "I am here on the order of our Brigade Commander Xiao. The Chinese New Year is coming now. The army is short of funds, so I am afraid it will not be able to pass the New Year, so I would like to ask all the county magistrates to help solve the problem!"

Zhang Xin asked with a smile: "How much do you want?"

Bai Siwen said, "Four hundred fat pigs, 40,000 kilograms of rice, and ten stones of oil and salt..."

Wang Lie immediately patted his chest and said, "It's easy to say! Isn't it just four hundred fat pigs?"

Zhang Xin also smiled and said, "This small matter is easy to handle, and there is a little money in the county at the end of the year! We will pay for forty fat pigs and 1,000 kilograms of rice in each county! I will just give out oil and salt. We will reimburse the division commander next year. This is a good thing for the army, and the division commander will definitely pass it!"

Bai Siwen smiled and kept praising her. Wang Lie was happy when he saw his old friend. He immediately said goodbye first and took Bai Siwen's hand. Bai Siwen was also secretly happy: "It's so good! I'm so smart. If you don't say anything else, how much money can you earn with just a hundred fat pigs!"

But as soon as they left, several county magistrates began to discuss. One county magistrate was an old qualification from Zhang Keshi. He was very good at changing his mind. He knew that Zhang Xinneng said in front of Liu Jingxiao: "County Magistrate Zhang, why do they want so many things to do? I don't know much about other things. But before Commander Liu went to Henan, he specially ordered preferential treatment of left-behind troops. Not to mention anything else, he received an additional monthly military salary this month, and gave Xiao Rulang a reward of tens of thousands of yuan. He also ordered the monthly side food expenses. Each food unit would kill three big fat pigs at the end of the month. Why didn't the money be enough?"

Zhang Xin also felt something was wrong. Two county magistrates kept complaining to Zhang Xin because Xiao Maxiong asked for money and goods from him many times, and Liu Jingxiao strictly prohibited soldiers from intercepting tax documents directly from the local area, so they were difficult to be a human being on both ends.

As they were talking, two people ran over there, and everyone immediately shut up. When the two of them saw Zhang Xin, they were relieved. The person in the lead said, "But we have found you Lao Zhang!"

When Zhang Xin saw that it was Sima Kan's younger brother Sima Hong. The man next to him had never met and did not know him. Sima Hong squeezed into Zhang Xin and shook his eyes. Zhang Xin immediately understood and stood up to say goodbye: "Brother Sima and I have already made an appointment to have two drinks, so we took one step first!"

When they met alone, Sima Hong said in the first sentence: "Xiao Rulang is so bold!"

Zhang Xin and Sima Hong were not very familiar with each other. They knew that Sima Hong's company had been transferred to the supplementary regiment of Xiao Rulang Brigade. As a result, they were asked in a confused manner by a word for no reason and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sima Hong immediately said, "You don't know. Now Xiao Ruxiong has expanded the two supplementary groups without the command of the division commander. He clearly wants to rebel!"

The young man next to him also said, "It's Bai Siwen's independent company. Now it's all organized by a regiment! Have you ever seen three or four hundred independent infantry platoons? This is really a strange story in the world!"

Zhang Xin was completely shocked. When he thought of Bai Siwen's request for supplies just now, he suddenly realized. Sima Hong said endlessly: "Our old classmates are all old men of the teacher, and they are very excluded when they come to Xiao Rulang's men! His classmates who came out of Zhuque didn't agree with him and specially sent us to notify him!"
