Arms Merchant of the Republic of China

Chapter 616: What happened!

When Du Haisheng drove to Liu Tianyu's house in Zhabei, the sky was already dark. Liu Tianyu had arranged a chef. Everyone was eating. Because there were too many people, the dining table was not enough at all. In addition, most of the farmers in Shandong were rude, and they were used to squatting there when eating. Therefore, When Du Haisheng, Liu Tianyu and others entered the house, what they saw in front of them was that both adults and children squatted there and ate with relish. Perhaps because they had not had enough food for a long time, they all devoured, had no taste at all, and swallowed directly.

"Uncle Mu."

Xiao Qi, who was holding a bowl of stewed vegetables and nibbling with a steamed bun in the other hand, saw Du Haisheng and quickly stood up and ran over with a happy face.

"Xiao Qi, where's your father?"

Du Haisheng bent down and stroked the little girl's head. He didn't see her for a few months. Xiao Qi grew a lot taller and became more and more beautiful. At this point, Du Haisheng was very sure that the little girl imitated her mother Wang Cuihua.

"Where is it!"

The little girl pointed behind her with chopsticks and shouted in a silver bell-like voice: "Dad, Uncle Mu is coming, Uncle Mu is coming."

Wang Baoquan, who buried his head and only cared about eating, heard it and looked up. No, Du Haisheng was coming towards him with a smile. He quickly smiled and greeted him: "Brother Mu, thank you very much."

Although Wang Baoquan had done business in the provincial capital before, it was just a small business. He couldn't see big scenes and big people. Even the hotel where he had lunch today was an eye-opener for all the villagers. I don't know how advanced it is than the buildings and hotels in Jinan. Even the floor is Dali. It is made of stone, and it is extremely smooth when walking on it. Everyone is careful and afraid that they will fall if they are not careful.

Especially yesterday, when he asked about Liu Tianyu's address, everyone's answers were similar. They all knew that such a number one person was very close to Du Haisheng, a boss in Shanghai. If you want to know, go and ask him.

This made Wang Baoquan very frustrated. He couldn't even find Liu Tianyu, let alone Shanghai Wang Du Haisheng, who caused a sensation in the whole Republic of China.

He would never have expected that the brother who stayed at his house was Du Haisheng in other people's mouths.

Seeing Liu Tianyu and Mu Eleven in his heart, Wang Baoquan was still a little nervous and didn't even know what to say. After thinking for a long time, he just didn't say thank you.

Liu Tianyu and Du Haisheng are very close, and the relationship between his little brother Mu Eleven and Liu Tianyu is also quite unusual. He must be a big shot. He dares not think that he can still climb such a backer in his life, and he doesn't know which life he has achieved.

Liu Tianyu wanted to say something, but when he saw Du Haisheng's eyes, he immediately understood.

Du Haisheng's identity is too special, and it is understandable to use a name.

"How's it going? The food is okay."

At this time, many people have gathered around, with simple smiles, but they don't know what to say. Listening to Du Haisheng's question, they all nodded quickly: "It's fragrant. It's very fragrant. I've never eaten such a delicious meal in my life. Thank you very much for your care of Master Liu."

Liu Tianyu just smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, Du Haisheng joked, "That's good. If you don't eat well, tell me that I'll settle accounts with this guy."

Du Haisheng smiled and pointed to Liu Tianyu beside him and said with a smile. Wang Baoquan touched his head and smiled shyly, "It's delicious. It's all white steamed buns, but it's much better than those corn noodles. I'm full."

"Ha ha!" Du Haisheng smiled cheerfully and said, "Just eat and be full. If it's not enough, I'll let someone buy it again."

"No, I'm really full."

Wang Baoquan quickly shook his head and pointed to his stomach. He glanced at Xiaoqi in Du Haisheng's arms. His face darkened and said, "Xiao Qier, come down quickly. Don't be tired of your uncle."

Du Haisheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Wang Baoquan. Come with me. Others can eat freely. Don't worry, Mr. Liu, your benefactor, has a lot of money. You can eat whatever you want."

With that, he took the little girl in his arms and accompanied by Liu Tianyu and Wang Baoquan to the back room. The servant poured some tea and filled everyone with a cup.

Wang Baoquan said with some embarrassment, "Is there a big bowl? I just ate it. I'm too thirsty. This thing doesn't quench my thirst."

His frankness and simplicity made Du Haisheng and Wang Baoquan laugh and said, "Change the big bowl."

After a long time, the servant came over with a big bowl. Wang Baoquan poured water, drank it cleanly, wiped his mouth, and said, "This is happy."

Seeing Du Haisheng and Liu Tianyu's strange expressions, he scratched his head with some embarrassment and said, "Well, I'm sorry, we people in the countryside don't have much knowledge."

"It's okay. We are all from the countryside."

With that, he said, "The last time I came back from Heze, I passed by your village. At that time, I saw that you were already packing up and preparing to come to Shanghai by train. How could it have been more than half a year before I arrived?"

Du Haisheng was still thinking about this matter before, so he asked Liu Gensheng to investigate it. As a result, no so-called people from Liujia Village came to Jinan, let alone Wang Baoquan.

Hearing Du Haisheng's question, Wang Baoquan couldn't help sighing. Now that he thinks about it, he also looks lingering.

"You left Liujia Village. Before we had time to leave, a group of soldiers came in the afternoon..."

After what he said, Du Haisheng knew that it was all caused by an order from the chairman of the Shandong government to supervise Zhang Zongchang.

With the increasing chaos of warlords in various parts of the Republic of China, Zhang Zongchang, who originally belonged to the Feng family, was defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army while leading 100,000 troops to support Sun Chuanfang. Zhang Zuolin was furious and suddenly reduced the military rate provided every year by half. Since then, his relationship with the Northeast has been bad, and Zhang Zong, who has cut off the road of military money. Chang couldn't, so he had to squeeze money from merchants, ordinary people and factories in Shandong. Even so, he was quite nervous.

However, last year, he and Zhang Xueliang began to ease their relationship, which eased his military service problem.

The first thing that Zhang Zongchang, who has money, thinks of is to accelerate the strength of his team, especially at present, the Japanese are ready to move, and there is a great danger of military attack at Jinan at any time, as well as the central army of the national government, and even the Shanghai Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army, which has emerged in just a few years, Wu Peifu, Tang Shengzhi's first and second The army and warlords are stepping up to expand their ranks.

He has already felt great pressure.

Although he issued a recruitment order, because Zhang Zongchang was extremely cruel for people, his soldiers deducted the army's pay, and even the food could not be guaranteed to supply. Therefore, although the recruitment order was issued, there were only a few applicants. In the end, there was nothing he could do. Zhang Zongchang sent people everywhere to arrest the strong men, and Liu Jiacun was also in his Medium.

There is nothing we can do. Wang Baoquan and the male villagers in the village have been arrested and become soldiers. Women and children can only stay at home. The originally planned development in Shanghai had to be temporarily stranded.

Wang Baoquan and the villagers live an inhuman life in the barracks. Sure enough, as told by outsiders, they can only eat two meals a day, and the food is extremely simple. There is very little rice in the soup, and steamed buns only serve one meal. As for the vegetables, except for pickles, they are green vegetables, and even oil and water are very little. Pity, not to mention meat.

They stayed in the barracks for three months, and they were sent to build roads. A month later, the road repair workers who couldn't stand this kind of inhuman life took advantage of the drunkenness of the soldiers that night and had a riot. Wang Baoquan took the villagers all the way back to Liujia Village. He was afraid that Zhang Zongchang's soldiers would blame him and come to Liu again. At that time, I'm afraid that there will be no one alive again.

That night, he led the whole village, men, women and children all the way to the south, passed through Shandong, to Jiangsu, and took a detour to comfort them. They came to Shanghai through Huzhou. On this way, because of the family, as well as the elderly and children, they walked very slowly, and nearly two months later. On the way, they basically did not have a full meal, and finally There's nothing we can do. We can even dig out the bark and grass roots to eat.

If it hadn't been for Huzhou and the local army had provided food, I'm afraid they would have starved to death before they arrived in Shanghai.

After listening to this, Du Haisheng clenched his fist with a gloomy face and said coldly, "This Zongchang is simply not as good as a beast. When I passed by Jinan at that time, I experienced the arrogance of his daughter. It seems that this family is really the master of harming the country and the people. Shandong and the province of China are withered at this time. Look at the old days. How to deal with him later?"

After saying that, he saw Wang Baoquan looking at him with a tongue. Obviously, he was scared by his words.

After all, Zhang Zongchang is the supervisor of Shandong, the chairman of the provincial government, with a huge number of 200,000 soldiers. The little brother in front of him, no matter how powerful he is, can't fight with Zhang Zongchang.

Du Haisheng immediately smiled, changed the topic and said, "Don't talk about this, has the whole village come to Shanghai this time?"

Wang Baoquan shook his head with a sad and indignant face: "There are a lot of adults and children, and it's winter. There are many children and old people dying on the road. My mistress..."

With that, I couldn't help lowering my head and choking.

Du Haisheng didn't say much, but just patted him on the shoulder as a comfort.

Du Haisheng, the mistress of Wang Baoquan's family, has seen him. The little guy is not old, but he is strong, very naughty, and he is a good airs to practice martial arts. He originally wanted Du Haisheng or Sun Lutang to take it as land, but he didn't want such a thing to happen. If he hadn't taken the whole situation into consideration, he would have taken his own army directly to Jinan and kill Zhang Zongchang.
