Chapter 38 The Sichuan-Hubei War (4)

OK! This is a really good idea. The commander and commander below praised them all. Finally, everyone hacked Commander Wang: "The second division has the strongest combat power and the most powerful troops, so the commander-in-chief must be responsible for the heavy responsibility of attacking Nanjin Pass... Just wait for Nanjin Pass, we will attack the whole line and then defeat them in a mess..."

Everyone made up their minds to watch the show, and defended in person was Liu Jingxiao's troops. The Hubei army fought with the 40,000 Hunan Army for eight days in Yanglou Stadium. Although they were defeated in the end, it was because of factors outside the battlefield.

Once the fire is fired in the past two days, it means how strong the other person's troops are! New guns, new cannons and new military uniforms are all desperate when fighting. Once the fire is fired, it will rain bullets. It is better to cause less enemies like this!

If one battalion on his own side can defend a company that guards Liu Jingxiao, it will be a super-level performance!

Today, the soldiers who sent to Nanjin Pass were Commander-in-Chief Wang's soldiers, not their own children. If they were beaten up, they would not feel heartbroken anyway. As long as Nanjin Pass came to Nanjin Pass, everyone would naturally rush into Yichang.

Besides, the two types of martial arts and quick-success are located in Sichuan. The military industry cannot be allowed to chew bones, so the troops of the quick-success army can pick up the bargains on the side.

The reinforcements from the Quick-Success Division will arrive tomorrow. Everyone will fight hard for two days in the past two days, and the casualties are unprecedentedly heavy. I have to let the Quick-Success Division suffer some trouble before talking about it!

Commander Wang was frustrated, and Liu Jingxiao was frustrated too!

That was Wanyan Yuzhuo and Shen Xianqiao, who left without saying goodbye and both ran away!

Of course, it wasn't that I went to the wild man. Wanyan Yuzhuo's message to himself that he was just to transport the troops from Wuxue back as soon as possible and go to the Yangtze River to find a way to make some money.

But Liu Jingxiao didn't know where they got the ships. Now the ships on the Yangtze River have been requisitioned by both sides of the war, and the remaining ships were forced to stop due to the war. Otherwise, Liu Jingxiao would not shout at Chen Yunjie in Wuhan all day long: "The war is critical, the front line is in danger... I'm looking forward to reinforcements... Please send the ship to Wuxue as soon as possible..."

The result of Guo Junqing's investigation surprised him. It turned out that Shen Xianqiao's family was a giant in Sichuan and river shipping, and nearly half of the passenger and cargo ships detained by the Navy belonged to his family.

No matter how much you detain, you can't detain your own fleet. After negotiations between Wanyan Yuzhuo and the Navy, the Shen family's fleet was successfully returned.

Of course, Liu Jingxiao was also involved in this matter. At that time, Wanyan Yuzhuo brought a message to him to help send it back to the ship. Liu Jingxiao wrote a note and asked Guo Junqing to stamp it with a seal and give it to Liu Jingxiao.

China is a great country that talks about human relationships and relationships. Since Liu Zhenguan’s envoy came forward, the navy immediately returned the ship. Then Wanyan Yuzhuo and Shen Xianqiao took the fleet down the river and headed to Wuxue to transport troops.

Before he officially got married into his own house, he turned his arms around himself. Liu Jingxiao was secretly proud in his heart, but what Guo Junqing said below made Liu Jingxiao laugh and cry.

My two beloved wives, who had taken the wrong medicine, took all the goods that had been accumulated on the Yichang Wharf for a long time.

Yichang is a large merchant port in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Cargo ships are constantly commuting, but when they open in war, first of all, due to the outbreak of the Hunan-Hubei War, the downstream shipping was cut off, and the prices of these goods fell sharply. When the war in Sichuan-Hubei started, all shipping was cut off. These goods immediately piled up in Yichang like mountains, and the prices also fell again and again.

Although it is said that "they buy but the seller are not good at selling", Chen Xianqiao came from a merchant family and has heard of it since childhood. Bosses of all sizes have accumulated so much goods here, so they cannot turn over their funds, so they have to bear the pain of selling it.

Of course, merchants also have their own considerations. The war between Sichuan and Hubei is likely to last for several months. With so many goods being piled up, it is better to take action earlier.

Not only that, Liu Jingxiao heard Guo Junqing say that Chen Xianqiao also sent a telegram to his father and asked him to buy a lot of salt on the spot in central Sichuan.

The self-flowing wells in Sichuan produce a lot of salt. They are not only sold in Sichuan, but also in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. Even so, Sichuan salt is still oversupply, and salt residents are unemployed.

When the Republic was founded, wars broke out and Huai salt was cut off. Sichuan salt was exported to Hubei, which was the so-called "Sichuan salt to help Chu". The Republic created Huai salt and made a comeback, defeating Sichuan salt. However, the western Hubei area is still the traditional sales place for Sichuan salt.

When he heard that the water transportation of Sichuan and rivers was cut off, the price of salt in Sichuan suddenly fell sharply. Chen Xianqiao quickly bought it.

Liu Jingxiao knew that the money they used to embezzle business was all their own money. Wanyan Yuzhuo stayed in Wuhan and asked for about 300,000 to 400,000 yuan from Wang Zichun.

Except for one of the funds, it was handed over to Liu Jingxiao, and Wanyan Yuzhuo took charge and deposited them into the Shanghai Industrial Bank account. During this period, the affairs in the bed were too busy, and Wanyan Yuzhuo had not handed over the public funds to Liu Jingxiao.

But it’s good to organize a fleet to transport troops. The amount you can earn is their private money.

For safety reasons, Chen Xianqiao hired two officers from the First Fleet, and the surface name was: "I am not familiar with the route and I urgently need the captain..."

Of course, everyone understands that the Shen family's fleet has been on the Yangtze River for decades, and can even open down even with their eyes closed.

But who said that Chen Xianqiao has a high price? An officer pays 150 oceans a day, which is really exciting!

Of course, the money was handed over to several captains, and the salaries of these two officers were settled by several captains. To put it bluntly, it was to spend money to save peace.

However, Liu Jingxiao estimated that the fleet would be safe all the way. The ship was from the Shen family in Sichuan, the cargo was from Liu Jingxiao, and the officers of the First Fleet protected the troops. Even if they were rushing around the Yangtze River, who would dare to stop them?

It is enough to have the word Liu Jingxiao on land. Are they on the water? They are all ships from the first fleet. If the water does not rush to the Dragon King Temple, this trip of sinking and delicate will definitely make a fortune.

But Chen Xianqiao and Wanyan Yuzhuo both ran away, but there was no fire in the afternoon. The front line was safe, but who was lonely together in the long night? Guo Junqing also mocked him and said, "Let's watch over your wife at home first, don't let them run away... and then take a slow chase after me..."

Liu Jingxiao had no choice but to endure his desire and went to the frontier position of Nanjin Pass, and found a sheet of paper to eat and live with the officers and soldiers, which was very meaningful to be together.

Murong Xuehai was quite concerned about him and asked with concern: "Why don't you go back to accompany the bride?"

Liu Jingxiao smiled bitterly at him: "So capable! He took the fleet to Wuxue to transport troops..."

Murong Xuehai was very surprised, and then said in a calm tone as possible: "What's wrong? Miss Chen was neglected to the new house, but you were angry and ran away?"

Liu Jingxiao laughed immediately: "How could this happen... We are so kind that we respect each other like glue and paint! She likes to run away, so I have to let her..."

Murong Xuehai saw Liu Jingxiao's sincere speech, and felt sad in his heart. He forced himself to control his fluctuating mood and said, "Congratulations to the teacher!"

Each word is infinitely bitter, but the taste of first love is always so bitter. Murong Xuehai doesn't know how to spit back these four words, and Liu Jingxiao doesn't care much about it.

He had little contact with Murong Xuehai, and he felt that he was not as friendly as the cadres from Dingbian Army. He looked at the dark front line and said, "Xuehai hasn't gotten married yet, right? After this battle, I will introduce one to you!"

Murong Xuehai's bitterness diluted a lot. He suddenly thought of a Song Ci: The flowers fell helplessly, and the swallows returned as if they were familiar. They felt infinitely touched in their hearts, and they replied casually: "Then thank you, the teacher!"

Liu Jingxiao didn't know what Murong Xuehai was thinking. He sat on the ground and looked at the stars in the sky and felt passionate: "Xuehai, I heard from Xianqiao that there are four beauties in Sichuan, she is just one of them! When we finish this battle, you will be my vanguard officer, and we will fight all the way to Chengdu! Then snatch the beauties and find the most beautiful one for you..."

But Murong Xuehai looked at it very indifferently. He just stood up and said to several officers: "The division commander said there are four beauties in Sichuan, and the delicate girl that day was just one of them. After the battle, we will go to Chengdu together and snatch all the four beauties to the division commander as their wives!"

The cadres below were all cheering: "Okay... But then the teacher, don't forget us... Yes, we have to keep the double salary! We will also pay twenty yuan for rewards..."

Liu Jingxiao also stood up and laughed: "If you can really hit Chengdu, everyone will be in three levels!"

However, he was a short-seller and could not be true, but Murong Xuehai suddenly had a slight hope. If Liu Jingxiao really entered Sichuan and snatched the four beauties, he would definitely be the groom of Yeye, and he might have neglected her. At that time, maybe he still had hope.

But after thinking about it, she didn't want her to have such a miserable fate. Liu Jingxiao talked with the officers and soldiers for a long time, and casually made a wish. Seeing Murong Xuehai staring at the sky with concentration without saying a word, she really wanted to communicate with him. She walked up and asked, "Xuehai... has been together for so many days, I don't know where you are."

Most of the cadres in the division are well-known. The cadres from Zhuque are all their old alumni. They are very familiar with them. Xiao Rulang and his group are also very clear about them. Only Murong Xuehai and Han Xinhai don’t know what the source is, they only know that they are from the south and later joined the army in the north.

This statement made Murong Xuehai seem a little unnatural, and he said, "I am from Shanghai?"

Liu Jingxiao immediately praised: "Shanghai? A good place, a good place! The Shen family on the sea is richest in the world. I heard that Miss Shen is as beautiful as a fairy again. I heard from my teacher that since I was a child, I heard from me: 'Study hard, and I will have the opportunity to go to Shanghai in the future!' Unfortunately, I have grown up so old, but I still haven't had the opportunity to go to Shanghai again."

Although Murong Xuehai was calm on the surface, his heart was surging. Countless past events surged in his heart. It took him a long time to say: "Shanghai..."

After stopping for a long time, Murong Xuehai continued, "Teacher, I have friends who know Miss Shen. Why not meet me when I go to Shanghai? Maybe I will fall in love at first sight and decide for three lives."

Liu Jingxiao waved her hand and said, "I don't have this blessing anymore... I'm enough with jade and delicateness!"

It’s still time to deal with Guo Junqing, but Liu Jingxiao dared not open up a new front. Both sides said a lot of things. It was not until the night was getting deeper and Liu Jingxiao fell asleep on the spot.

It was four or five o'clock in the morning when Liu Jingxiao was woken up. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Ding Ning, a cavalry company commander in military uniform. He said to Liu Jingxiao: "Terminal Commander, our reinforcements have arrived..."

Liu Jingxiao looked at Ding Ning's excited spirit and thought that if this girl was a boy, she would definitely be a capable general in her hands.

Now when you walk, you are very scheming and have a military style, and every word and action is very different from the farm girl when you first met, just like Duan Zhijie said: "She is the most talented cavalry officer I have ever met!"

Yesterday, a company of Sichuan troops secretly infiltrated, but when they met Ding Ning's cavalry company, Ding Ning immediately led the cavalry company to launch an assault with raids, rushed into the Sichuan army in an instant and chopped over half of the Sichuan army. The rest of Sichuan troops also surrendered.

Afterwards, Liu Jingxiao looked at the battle and commented: "A textbook-style horse riding assault!"

Although the Sichuan Army was not trained enough, the coercion gun was inconvenient to load, and there was no experience in dealing with cavalry, the cavalry company achieved such brilliant results as soon as it came into battle, which was really an admiration for Liu Jingxiao's female general under his command.

Therefore, when he saw Ding Ning so active, Liu Jingxiao first praised her and her cavalry company for a few words, and then asked: "Are reinforcements coming? It's just right, you can catch up with today's battle!"

Those who came were Sima Kanying Camp of Li He's regiment and Yu Changqing Camp of Xiao Rulang regiment, and both regiment leaders also came.

Since Liu Jingxiao called and said, "The Sichuan border has made great achievements", both regiment commanders hoped to transport their troops to Yichuan first, and Chen Fangren, the deputy commander and direct commander of the troops, hoped to transport the artillery regiment first.

After all, the two brigade commanders were empty, and everyone wanted to take another step forward. As for Chen Fangren, although he was only a deputy commander, Liu Jingxiao now has granted him the position of "direct commander of the troops". In this way, the cavalry and artillery workers directly under the division were under his command and were also one of the competitors in the position of brigade commander.

The last three men reached a compromise, and the two regiments went to a battalion each, and the artillery regiment first went to a six-pound howitzer company.

The remaining troops are temporarily commanded by Chen Fangren, and they will be transported to Yichang once the ship arrives.

Before dawn, Liu Jingxiao quickly deployed the two battalions on the front line, and the six-pound howitzer company deployed on the front line of Nanjin Pass.
