(33) Chinese New Year's Eve
Judging from the current state of operation of "people and salt mines", it will not be long before immeasurable profits can be generated.
"When Dad thinks about how many dividends his shares can share, I'm afraid he won't even be able to sleep." Huang Yunzhi imagined what her father might look like when he paid dividends, and couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh.
"Dividends according to shares, and your dividends will not be less." Yang Shuoming looked at him and said, "This is just the right time to have the money to pay back your father's investment in the pharmacy, after all, what others gave is someone else's, so as not to ...... in the future" He smiled and didn't say any more.
"Yes, you're a 'door-to-door son-in-law', but you will be easily excluded in the future." Huang Yunzhi understood what he was talking about, and smiled slightly, indicating that she understood, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here with you." ”
The reason why Huang Yunzhi agreed to move her family to Didong Fort with Yang Shuoming was that on the one hand, she could take care of Yang Shuoming's diet and daily life nearby, and on the other hand, she did not want to occupy her mother's house.
Although her stepmother has always been good to herself, as the continuation of her father, she gave birth to two sons to her father after all, in this era of "patriarchy" and "mother is more important than son", Huang Yunzhi is very clear about the status of herself and her husband in the family.
"I dug up Lao Wu, Lord Yue, I'm not upset, right?" Yang Shuoming listened to her words, smiled, and asked again.
"That's not true," Huang Yunzhi said, "Wu Tou'er hasn't been in our house for a long time, and Wu Tou'er has always been meticulous in his work, he chose to come to us, and he must have arranged someone to replace him, otherwise his father would not let him go." ”
"It's Chinese New Year's Eve night, it's time for a reunion dinner...... Yang Shuoming looked at the night sky outside the window, and before he finished speaking, there were suddenly bursts of dog barking in the distance, followed by bursts of mournful gunshots!
"It looks like it's over the gatehouse!"
Now Huang Yunzhi is not very afraid of the gunshots, she listened intently to the gunshots, raised the binoculars, and after observing the surroundings, she judged the exact direction of the gunshots.
"The Chinese New Year won't let me stop." Yang Shuoming's "supercomputer eye" also gave the same hint, he looked out the window and quickly took his box gun.
"It's cold outside, so don't go there." Yang Shuoming saw Huang Yunzhi take her own pistol, and immediately stopped, "Don't forget, you are different now than before." ”
Hearing his words, Huang Yunzhi's face turned red, she subconsciously glanced at her lower abdomen and nodded.
Yang Shuoming cleaned up, kissed his beloved wife lightly on the forehead, turned around and went downstairs, and at this time, several people were already waiting in the heavy snow.
"Mr. Yang." Seeing Yang Shuoming walk out, Lei Jiangtou, Zhao Erhu and several security guards greeted him. Yang Shuoming saw the team members wearing new-style military uniforms who were no longer as bright as before, and noticed the six relatively short figures carrying horse pistols among them, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"The six of you have passed," Yang Shuoming said to the six children, "protect the godmother here." ”
"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! The leader Liu Zhiyuan, that is, Liu Xiaoqi, Yang Shuoming gave him a new name - gave a military salute to Yang Shuoming, and ran to the small building where Huang Yunzhi lived with the other five children.
Yang Shuoming looked at the others and nodded, pulled out the box gun pistol, waved his hand, and ran in the direction of the gatehouse against the wind and snow.
"What's the situation?" Yang Shuoming came to the fort gatehouse, looked at the sparkling fires in the distance, and asked.
"There are almost a thousand people coming, saying that Commander Zhang's soldiers are coming in to arrest the fugitives." A security guard on the upper floor of the fort gate reported to Yang Shuoming with some concern.
Yang Shuoming listened to the rough shouting and scolding from time to time outside, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"In the middle of the night, who the hell can tell where they are?" Zhao Erhu scolded, "I think it's a bandit!" They know that this is a treasure land, and they want to come and grab the mountain! ”
"If you can't get it, it's a bandit adaptation." Lei nodded his head and said, "Xu Tou'er also said some time ago that Yao Changkui has signs of being recruited......
Yang Shuoming thought for a while and said to Zhao Erhu: "Let their leaders come forward and speak." ”
Zhao Erhu agreed, raised his rifle and aimed it at the night sky, pulling the trigger.
With the piercing sound of gunfire, there was an instant silence in the distance.
"The other side! Who's in charge! Come and talk! Zhao Erhu tore open his throat and shouted.
Zhao Erhu's voice spread far away, echoing in the valley, and it took a long time to calm down, Yang Shuoming looked at the torches in the distance and seemed to be increasing, and ordered the mortars on duty to prepare for firing.
After Yang Shuoming ordered seamless steel pipes and steel and some mechanical equipment for the security team, after rushing to work overnight, the security team had 20 more newly made mortars, due to the different materials, although the structure of these new guns is exactly the same as the original two guns, but the quality is much better than the first two guns, Yang Shuoming used them to replace the two "pure-blooded mortars" in the original service, mainly because he was worried that the barrels and components of the original two guns were not pure steel, and the number of fires was too much, resulting in accidents.
After the establishment of the "Renhe" company, the scale of the security team was further expanded, a detachment was stationed in the mining area and the company's headquarters, and in order to strengthen the defense of the underground cave fort, six newly made mortars were transferred here by Yang Shuoming, and two were arranged on the gate tower of this fort.
"What a sist! Can't speak! Lao Tzu is Liu Wenxuan, the commander of the Fifth Mixed Brigade! A hoarse voice came from afar.
Hearing the name "Liu Wenxuan", Zhao Erhu grinned at Yang Shuoming, and he saw that Yang Shuoming's brows tightened.
Liu Wenxuan is also a famous bandit leader, nicknamed Liu Haozi, he occupies Tiemang Mountain in the east of Yongning County, which can be said to be far away from Shuanglong Town, but this time he appeared outside the underground cave fort, which really surprised Yang Shuoming.
"What kind of kung fu became the fifth mixed brigade?" Ray turned his head and asked, "Are they being recruited?" ”
Yang Shuoming cleared his throat and said loudly: "It turns out that the master of Tiemang Mountain Liu has arrived, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful!" For the Chinese New Year, why does Liu Da have time to come here to visit the mountains? ”
"It's Shopkeeper Yang who is talking above, right?" Liu Wenxuan heard Yang Shuoming's voice and replied loudly, "You should call me Brigade Commander Liu!" Li Du made me a brigade commander! We are now the 5th Mixed Brigade, under the jurisdiction of Commander Zhang of the 6th Division! ”
Yang Shuoming listened to Liu Wenxuan's answer and couldn't help sneering.
Of course, he knew that the "Li Dudu" that the other party was talking about should be Li Chun, the general of the Beiyang Army appointed by Yuan Shikai to act as the acting governor of Jiangxi, and the "Commander Zhang" of the Sixth Division was the notorious Zhang Jingyao!
"What Li Du Commander Zhang! Haven't heard of it! Don't fucking come here to scare Lao Tzu! The short-tempered Zhao Erhu said with some annoyance, although his voice was lowered, it still made the other party hear it clearly, and immediately attracted a shouting and scolding.
"What is Brigade Commander Liu's reason to come here in the middle of the night?" Yang Shuoming asked loudly.
"I heard that there are a few thieves here, and Commander Zhang asked me to bring my brothers to take them down, but the thieves didn't disturb Shopkeeper Yang, right?" Liu Wenxuan said, "Shopkeeper Yang opened a salt mine, and the people around him benefited, and Commander Zhang took special care of it, and he couldn't let the thieves spoil the things in the mine!" ”
After listening to Liu Wenxuan's answer, Yang Shuoming understood the purpose of Zhang Jingyao sending him here, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes in an instant, startling Zhao Erhu beside him.
As a well-known defeated general and straw bag warlord in Chinese history, Zhang Jingyao's ability to fight is not good, but his ability to burn and kill silver plundering is first-class.
Thinking that Zhang Jingyao actually robbed the people's property by co-opting bandits, Yang Shuoming's contempt for him deepened.
"Thank you Brigade Commander Liu for your care! There are only a few thieves, and the mine security team can deal with it! Yang Shuoming smiled loudly and said, "Don't bother Brigade Commander Liu and Commander Zhang, please go back!" ”
"The surname is Yang! Don't toast and don't eat and drink! Liu Wenxuan shouted in annoyance, "Do you think that I, the thousands of people, came to you for nothing?" ”
"Fuck off! He Hei Donkey and Yao Changkui are both planted here with us, I'm afraid that you are a little tofu scum in Tiemang Mountain! Zhao Erhu didn't wait for Yang Shuoming to answer, so he roared out viciously, "If you are not afraid of death, come up!" ”
"Good! I'll show you ignorant things! I, the 1,800 centaurs, is tofu dregs, and I want to break your belly! Liu Wenxuan's voice began to become a little hysterical, "Brothers! Give it to me! ”
As he howled, the gunfire immediately rang out, and then a bullet flew and hit the stone wall of the fort gatehouse, making a piercing sound.
Despite the attack, the security guards did not appear to panic, and one by one they calmly prepared for battle in their respective battle positions, although their numbers were small (most of them went home for the New Year, and only a few people on duty remained), but none of them looked afraid.
Because the security team has gone through two large-scale battles with the bandits, both of which have been defeated by the bandits, especially after possessing the powerful new portable artillery, the security team no longer feels afraid of the bandits. Coupled with the previous training conducted by Yang Shuoming in accordance with the advanced way, the security team members did not pay attention to the thousands of bandits in front of them at all.
Yang Shuoming crouched sideways by the wall and gestured at the mortar gunner, who had long been ready to attack.
The mortar man nodded, let go of his hand, and a mortar shell fell into the chamber, and then "Tom! "Hit it out.
