"Wang Jingzhong has seen the chief!"

On the deck, there is a table, a chair, a pot of tea, and a cup.

"Sir, please."

Wang Jingzhong said respectfully: "There is still a distance to Wuxi, sir, please rest, if you are tired, you can go to the cabin for a while." ”

Meng Shaoyuan sat down: "The safety of those children must be guaranteed." ”

"Please rest assured, this is the waterway, the road is safe, if the chief and the children are missing a hair, Wang Jingzhong will be at the disposal of the chief."

When Wang Jingzhong said this, he was full of confidence.

Then, Meng Shaoyuan plucked one of his hairs: "Wang Jingzhong, what do you say?" ”

"This?" Wang Jingzhong was stunned.

What is this?

Did you touch the porcelain openly?

Meng Shaoyuan carefully put his hair on the table: "I won't beat you, and I won't scold you, but you bragged to yourself just now, should you really brag and not pay taxes?" ”

Yuan Zhonghe was overjoyed on the side.

Dude, who is this? This Young Master Meng!

Shanghai Tang's famous scoundrel!

You are all over Shanghai to inquire about who wants to provoke this demon king of the world.

It's too late to avoid him, so it's better for you to take the initiative to get up by yourself?

Wang Jingzhong looked embarrassed: "Sir, what do you say?" ”

"I'm not a ...... who likes to extort people"

Meng Shaoyuan had just said this, and Yuan Zhonghe's heart had already snorted viciously.

But he, Young Master Meng, said to himself: "But the chief lost a hair, that's a big deal, it's a big deal, it's light to say that you will be shot." In this way, I took thirty children this time, this time I went to Wuxi, I have to meet my teacher, I will let the teacher choose a few of them to stay, you must make sure that these children food, clothing, shelter, transportation, food, to eat the best, wear, but also to wear the best, must not make the slightest mistake. ”

When Wang Jingzhong heard this, his heart immediately relaxed.

This is just a trivial matter, why did Chief Meng go around such a big circle?

But Meng Shaoyuan is the end: "Wang Jingzhong, so confident in walking by water?" ”

"Of course."

Speaking of this, Wang Jingzhong was proud: "The Japanese army's own defense strength in this area is weak, and on the water, their strength is even less worth mentioning. ”

This is the truth, Wang Jingzhong said that the Japanese army's water strength is not worth mentioning, he is not talking about the Japanese navy, and he is specifically referring to this area.

After the fall of Nanjing, the Japanese navy was quickly transferred to the Xuzhou and Wuhan battlefields, resulting in an extremely weak surface force in Jiangsu.

Especially at the most critical moment of the Battle of Wuhan, even the small river gunboats, commonly known as the "bean fleet", with small tonnage and shallow draft, were also transferred to the front line of Wuhan.

The rest, mainly playing a defensive role, generally do not dare to go deeper.

There are many river bandits and lake bandits in the Jiangsu area, and in this way, they are even more rampant.

Whether it is a bandit, a loyal rescue**, or a guerrilla of the Fourth Route Army, once they encounter a situation, they will run directly to the water.

Especially in the area of Taihu Lake.

The Japanese army once said:

"If we can exterminate these lake bandits, then the place will be stable."

It's easier said than done.

A small group of bandits is okay, but a large armed force like Wang Jingzhong, who has the support of the military commander behind him, is simply the pain of the local Japanese army.

These guys are lawless and dare to rob any ship.

Later, the commander of the Japanese army in Suzhou, Mori Mu Yidu, couldn't bear it anymore, contacted the Japanese army in Wuxi, Changzhou and other places, and seconded some ships to prepare to completely exterminate these lake bandits.

But as soon as Wang Jingzhong saw the Japanese army making a big move, he immediately hid in the depths of Taihu Lake, and let you make a lot of trouble on the lake, I just won't come out.

You are not familiar with the terrain as me, and your strength is insufficient, what are you going to do to kill me?

The two took the opportunity to contact various detachments and detachments, made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and pulled out the Japanese army and puppet army strongholds one after another, forcing the Japanese army to withdraw from Taihu Lake to rescue the emergency.

The water and land echo, so that Sen Mu and the other are all taken care of.

He also once asked his superiors to increase the number of troops to sweep up, but he was reprimanded by his superiors, which roughly means that as a local governor, even a small bandit can't help it, and he is really incompetent.

Later, Morimu Yidu, who had nothing to do, could only entrust an intermediary to negotiate with Wang Jingzhong, and Japan had ships passing by, and according to the actual quantity and price of each ship, Wang Jingzhong paid a certain "ship wear and tear fee" to ensure the safety of the ships.

To put it bluntly, this is the protection fee.

This also set a precedent for the Japanese army to pay protection money to the guerrillas.

Since then, Wang Jingzhong has become famous, known as:

King of Taihu Lake!

Of course, this is all due to specific conditions.

Jiangsu was regarded as one of the granaries by the Japanese army, and there was absolutely no room for failure, and it was better to spend money to buy a peace than to spend great efforts to suppress bandits when the front line was in a hurry.

Meng Shaoyuan also knew that his subordinate "King of Taihu Lake" had been crisscrossing Taihu Lake for many years, and his fur had never been injured, and he was also a legend.

I just don't know why I suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Meng Shaoyuan looked at Wang Jingzhong: "Wang Jingzhong, find a way to help me get a few gunboats." ”

"Huh?" Wang Jingzhong was stupid, and it took a long time before he said: "Sir, it's true that no one dares to touch me on Taihu Lake, but can you get a gunboat?" The Japanese have to fight with you. How many more? I can't even get one. ”

I thought to myself, sir, your hair is too expensive, isn't it?

Yuan Zhonghe couldn't help but ask, "District Chief Meng, what are you doing with the gunboat?" There's no place for you in Shanghai? ”

"I want a fart gunboat." Meng Shaoyuan said: "I sent it to my teacher, and I left the few children with the teacher, I have to let them learn ship technology, and I also want them to learn submarines, but we can't get it." No way, get a gunboat to make do, in three or four years, I have to come in handy with these children! ”

He had been thinking about a big matter in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't talk about it with his subordinates.

When Wang Jingzhong heard what the chief said so seriously, he didn't dare to slack off at that time: "Sir, this is really too difficult, but in short, I will do my best." ”

"It's not about trying, it's about trying to find a way to get it for me." Meng Shaoyuan looked a little stubborn: "If you can't cheat to steal, if you can't steal, if you can't even rob, then buy it for me, don't care about the price." ”

Li Zhifeng heard it clearly on the side, and felt that this chief was really very different from others.

He wanted something, first to cheat, then to steal, then to rob, and there was really no way to buy it.

At this time, no one on this ship would have thought that their Chief Meng had already made a big plan.

A hair.

A gunboat.

Meng Shaoyuan's mind is probably only known to him, right?
