PS: Bow and thank Cangwu Li for the precious monthly pass, thank you for the two monthly tickets that you voted at one time, thank you, thank you!! ,Today's supplement.,It's a small outbreak.,O(∩_∩)Oha!

When Dong Ku and the others arrived at the station, they saw the dozen or so trucks in front of the headquarters guarded by the guard battalion, Dong Ku and Zuo Boyang were really surprised, obviously, these trucks were loaded with private goods.

Sure enough, when they walked around the trucks, they saw a large pile of things around the buttocks behind these trucks, and Qu Jungang and the soldiers of the guard battalion who were busy sifting.

"So much?"

Dong Ku swept in the light and saw countless bottles and cans, as well as paper rolls.

"Hey......

Qu Jungang held a clay pot in his hand and said with a smug smile: "These boys are really quick with their hands and feet, and they also hold things well, even the silver knives and forks of others have not been spared, picture scrolls, porcelain, carvings, but there are more than those in Xuzhou, and there are a lot of books." ”

"Books?"

Dong Ku was stunned. Most of the soldiers under Qu Jungang came from Pontianak, and most of them were students, so it seemed that there was no problem in screening ancient books, but when he saw that large stack, at least thousands of books, as well as those contained in wooden boxes, and bamboo slips, he couldn't think of how many families could get them.

"Well, these books belong to a foreign scholar's family, and when we went in, the whole family was killed by the Japanese army, so we simply didn't keep them and packed them all back."

As he spoke, Qu Jun just took out a few notebooks and handed them to Dong Ku.

Dong Ku looked through it and confirmed that this was a research note from an Englishman who was engaged in academic research and studied Chinese history, and then said: "It is very valuable to put these separately, don't get damp, and go back and find someone to continue his research." It is worth more than calligraphy and painting. ”

"Yes!"

Qu Jun just gladly accepted the order.

Dong Ku glanced at those rare things, and couldn't help but think of the treasures in the hands of those guys in the Shanghai Concession. In the future, how many good things have flowed out of the country, and now that there is an opportunity, then try to recover as much as possible and leave wealth for future generations.

Dong Ku retracted his gaze. asked Qu Jungang to enter the headquarters with Yu Lei, Yu Ke, and Liu Haisong, who arrived less than half an hour, to discuss the next action.

Along the way, according to the reaction of the Japanese army, everyone believed that the pursuit was just a hurry, and the Japanese army would not stay in other places to garrison and wait to be eaten. Beiping, according to the report of the dark hall. It was also a person who went to the city, and the Japanese army learned that the advance army had captured Tianjin, and many of their things had not had time to be disassembled, so they left in a hurry, rushed to Zhangjiakou, and made a detour to Datong.

Dong Ku looked at everyone and said, "Now, the Japanese army is retreating and preserving its strength. There are two roads in front of us, one is to detour to Zhangjiakou. Walking on the prairie, one is to enter Shanhaiguan, go all the way north, eat the Japanese troops along the way, and conquer Changchun. Let's talk about it, which way is right for us to take? ”

Qu Jungang and others are all from the Northeast. Although I have never lived on the grassland, I also know that the road is now about to enter the snowfall season. It will bring great trouble to the march, but to attack Changchun, Shanhaiguan alone will have to fight for a few days, and the Japanese army has worked hard for many years, and the attack will never be as pleasant as North China and Central China, and it may be difficult to reach Heilongjiang in a short time.

Qu Jun just pondered for a moment and said: "Captain, walking the grassland is the fastest, the only trouble is that I am afraid of encountering heavy snow, but now it has passed in mid-October, and I see that it is the heavy snow season." But if we go to Shanhaiguan, I'm afraid that the dog will not be able to withstand it, and our supply consumption will be large. ”

"yes, it's troublesome to go both ways."

Yu Lei and others also agreed.

The reason why Dong Ku called them to discuss was also because he had many worries, and he didn't make up his mind which of the two roads to take. Originally, he was going to go to the grassland, but he was from the Northeast and was familiar with the changes in the grassland, and once it snowed heavily, the march would be troublesome.

Zuo Boyang saw that everyone had no idea, so he said: "In my opinion, it is better to go to the grassland, after all, there is no need to go far, there is no obstacle along the way, there are a lot of trucks now, and some more are requisitioned along the way, the army can all enter Mongolia within ten days, Yangzhou's supplies have caught up with Sun Tao, and the shells and guns will be in place with the delivery, we only need to let the self-propelled artillery march with the entire brigade, not acting alone, there is a chain rail to open the road, and the heavy snow is not a big problem." ”

"It seems that this is the only way, I hope we don't encounter too much wind and snow, otherwise the chain rail will be in vain."

Dong Ku didn't have a good way to do it, so he pondered and ordered, "The Qu army has just broken through to Shanhaiguan, and when you get there, bombard all the foreign positions, capture Shanhaiguan, and wait for Zhang Zizhong's troops to arrive, and then you rush to Zhangjiakou to the north." ”

"Yu Lei will set off now, rush to Beijing overnight, requisition more vehicles, hoping that they will not be all plundered by the Japanese, and also look there by the way, so as not to riot and destroy the city."

"Liu Haisong rushed back to Mongolia first, without stopping, using self-propelled artillery to support the front line of Goudan, and waited for us to arrive."

"Yu Ke and Liu Haisong exercised together, prepared firewood in the mountains near Zhangjiakou, and laid firewood for the follow-up armament to prevent heavy snowfall."

Several people took the order with a bang.

Zuo Boyang added: "The clothes for the winter should be done quickly, the Japanese army's cotton clothes and cotton pants are not much, many of those recruits are from Jiangnan, they don't have cotton jackets and cotton pants yet, they have to be sent down as soon as possible, or it is a problem to enter Kyoto." ”

Although Dong Ku had made preparations for the northward march in advance, after all, there were too many recruits, and now many recruits did not have winter clothes.

So, the meeting ended in a hurry, and then everyone began to act and rush to their respective goals.

Dong Ku can't leave yet, he has to wait, wait for the British ambassador Henry from Shanghai, and the American military attache Rycan? Rothschild. Qu Jun just took advantage of the fire to rob the surface concession and didn't say anything, but it doesn't mean that this matter has just subsided.

In addition to gathering the personnel who stayed in Hebei to develop, Liu Canghao also organized the recruitment of soldiers for the advance army and the recruitment of people.

At the same time, Zhang Zizhong handed over the attack on Jincheng to Gu Zhutong, and since the Japanese army had done it, the armistice agreement was invalid. Shijiazhuang was also handed over to Gu Zhutong when the troops arrived later, and let Gu Zhutong fight at two points, and he was responsible for detouring Datong and blocking and holding Shanhaiguan.

Gu Zhutong had already set up a position last night, and he was expected to attack early in the morning. Move with Yan Laoxi in the direction of Yuncheng to not give the Japanese army time to breathe.

Sun Tao, they are hurrying up, and with the supplies in Yangzhou in place, the speed of their march has accelerated a lot. Sun Tao is also a native of Heilongjiang, and naturally knows that the road crosses the grassland. What is possible during this season.

In the concession, in addition to cleaning up the corpses and sorting out the debris, it has been temporarily stopped. The various departments of the concession saw that the advance army did not enter again, and they were also frightened and relieved.

In the second half of the night, except for the guards battalion to pack up the materials captured from the Japanese and the sheep with them, the other soldiers who did not leave slept peacefully. It's Liu Canghao's team. After receiving the order to stay behind, he left recruiters along the way, and hurried to Tianjin, where he began to post slogans all over the streets in the second half of the night, clean up the streets, and repair the houses that had been damaged in the fierce fighting.

The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the people of Tianjin are struggling for half the night in the abrupt change last night. The withdrawal of the Japanese army caused them considerable damage, so that they did not dare to leave their homes in the dark. I didn't dare to listen to the movement outside. After dawn, the bold slowly went up to the street in almost silence, and then, the slogans all over the street made the city noisy in less than half an hour.

People took to the streets. Gongs and drums were noisy to celebrate the reconquest of the lost territory of the advance army, and when they saw the recruiting office, excited people rushed to tell each other and join the procession. Continue to drive away the invaders.

In the midst of the celebrations, Henry and Laiken and their entourage from Shanghai also arrived in Tianjin, where they took a plane, stopped in Zhengzhou, flew directly to Tianjin, and landed at the airport that had been controlled by the advance army after dawn.

Dong Ku rushed to the airport early and personally greeted the two acquaintances who had taken care of the aftermath.

After the plane landed, Dong Ku unexpectedly saw an acquaintance get off the plane.

Henry was alone, and Laiken walked off the plane arm in arm, and the person who Laiken was holding was Shui Yao'er.

Dong Ku was not surprised at all, and warmly welcomed Henry and Laiken at the same time, and shook hands with the entourage. When he came to Shui Yao'er, he nodded politely, but he didn't know him.

Shui Yao'er was the same, nodded to Dong Ku generously, and after Laiken's introduction, he asked the general in a crisp voice, and there was nothing else to say.

Dong Ku did not stop at the airport too much, and took the guard battalion to personally escort the concession vehicles that came to pick up this line, and headed for the Tianjin concession.

According to the information obtained by Henry in Shanghai, Dong Ku had shares in Longxiang International, so he moved into Longxiang International in the concession. Dong Ku, who also took No. 5 and No. 6 and Zuo Boyang, lived in Longxiang International after getting the road strips.

As soon as he stayed, Henry couldn't wait to meet the bigwigs in the concession and ordered lunch at the same time.

The arrival of the big guy filled the atmosphere with anger. Especially the British consul Joyle, but in the consulate, he personally experienced the Japanese army killing the sentry guard, rushed into the house, and then shot and wounded himself, if it wasn't for the bodyguards desperately protecting him, he would not have had the opportunity to see Henry. Three or four minutes after the incident, fierce gunfire rang out, and they were then gathered into a room by the soldiers of the advance army, and protected until the gunfire in the consulate stopped, and they were told to stay in the house as much as possible to ensure safety.

The others had a more or less similar experience, the Portuguese consul had killed several servants after the first wave of Japanese troops rushed in, and then the Japanese soldiers were killed by the advance army, who had just been gathered into the room, and within five minutes of fierce gunfire rang out again, and apparently, another Japanese army entered and engaged in a fierce battle with the pursuing advance army.

Such a scene happened in the homes of many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries, and many of them actually had three or four fierce battles. When they came out, the walls were full of bullet holes, broken fragments everywhere, all the valuable utensils in the house were gone, even the oil paintings and ink paintings hanging on the walls were gone, and even the silver knives and forks and cutlery in the kitchen were gone.

What made people even more angry was the secret compartment in the secret place, and the precious items in the wall had disappeared, and by the time they checked, the entire residence had been looted, and the valuable objects were gone.

The British consulate was not spared, and all the decorations that were displayed on the surface disappeared, even a painting of Picasso was missing.

Although they were suspicious of the advance team, there was no evidence, and the Japanese entered the room first, and no one knew whether they were all dead. Even if the first wave had just died, the fierce fighting that followed showed that the advance army was very close to catching up with the Japanese army.

Henry listened. He did not speak until finally several representatives of the concession finished speaking, and he came to the conclusion that the advance army did not storm the concession at first, but during the fighting, the Japanese troops of the defending army of the concession entered the concession. It caused the dissatisfaction of the advance army, and then entered the pursuit, which led to this incident. The reason for this is that the advance army seems to be reasonable, but it is also the creator of the incident.

But then again, if it hadn't been for the first few hundred Japanese troops to enter, the advance army would not have entered the concession. Dong Ku has always adhered to the bottom line throughout the process. They didn't enter the concession, they just entered and chased the Japanese soldiers. And he also made it clear to Madilon that if the Japanese army was not released, he would let the concession clean up the Japanese army and expatriates on its own.

Henry and Lao Ken looked at everyone present with a headache, and said half-loudly: "There is no evidence that the stolen items were committed by the advance army, and the advance army killed the vicious Japanese soldiers to save the lives of those here, and those items were looted by the advance army." Then take it as your contribution and thanks, after all, there is no gate for the warring Japanese army. The incident would not have happened, and not so many people would have died. ”

"So that's it?"

Joyle's face turned slightly pale and said unwillingly.

"No, no!"

Henry waved his hand and said: "The cause of the incident is put aside first, the Japanese army broke into the room and killed people, this is already an indisputable fact, and they have to pay the price." In addition, there are tens of thousands of Japanese expatriates in the hands of the advance army, and I think that the advance army will entrust us to act as intermediaries, just like Shanghai. Let go of these clean civilians who have been looted, and our losses will come from here! If it doesn't satisfy us, then we can strike militarily. ”

After Henry finished speaking, Laiken said: "Everyone, I think it is not appropriate to start a war with the Japanese army at this time, the island country in the land of projectiles is not worth sending troops, besides, the advance army has already declared war on Japan, and it is normal to fight on the Japanese mainland, so it will not waste our strength." What we want is profit, and as long as the compensation given by the Japanese satisfies everyone, why don't we sit on the sidelines? ”

The bigwigs present all talked about it, and they all felt that this was the reason. Japan, even if it is completely wiped out, what oil and water will there be to fish?

So, he quickly came up with a plan, and he also thanked the advance army, thanked them for their rescue, and thanked them for the medicine they took out to bandage and treat the wounded. Japan, on the other hand, should take a tough stance and make them compensate for it, and recover more benefits by transferring its expatriates.

At this time, Japan had a headache and turned around, they abandoned the whole of Hebei, and the strategic intention was as Dong Ku expected, and when Dong Ku's army entered Mongolia, they took advantage of the situation to recover Hebei, and blocked Dong Ku's army in Mongolia, and cooperated with Soviet Russia to defeat the main force of the advance army.

And these have been steadily implemented, but the news from the Tianjin concession has given these politicians a headache. The Japanese army was defeated and killed, not in two cases at once. And the advance army rushed into the concession, which was also unexpected by the Japanese.

They are now facing two difficult problems, one is that the Chinese Communist Party's troops have surrounded Shandong and are ready to attack, and at the same time, the national army in Shanxi has also set up a posture and will attack at any time. The other is the incident in the Tianjin Concession, which has angered the countries in the concession, and just now, Japan has received a telegram from various countries asking for an explanation for this incident.

The emperor was pacing back and forth anxiously in the dormitory, in this extraordinary period, he must not let all countries turn their faces, once they turn their faces, the empire may overturn, where can the advance army be used to attack? Although they were not worried about the advance army attacking the mainland, they had no ships, but their interests in China would be permanently lost, and the empire would collapse or even decline.

"You must properly handle this incident, stop the mouths of all countries at any cost, and avoid adding variables!"

The emperor stared at the ministers of the cabinet, a deep cold light flashing in his eyes.

How many politicians in the cabinet don't know? At this most critical moment, we must not let all countries turn their faces, so they all trembled and began to be busy.

While Japan was busy plugging holes, Henry's banquet began.

Dong Ku took the three of them to the banquet, and the atmosphere in the banquet was quickly harmonious.

After everyone politely toasted Henry and others, Dong Ku stood up and said: "Dong is a person who respects his friends, yesterday, I told Colonel Madilon that when my soldiers were chasing and killing the Japanese army, they damaged the property of individuals in the concession, and I want to compensate, but Madilon alumni kindly refused. Since everyone is a friend, Dong will no longer mention the matter of compensation, Dong is a businessman, there are many projects to be developed, and he is willing to share them with everyone. ”

Dong Ku's proposal made the bigwigs excited. They are the letters of intent signed by Dong Ku in the Shanghai Concession, which are all profitable transactions, and they all have a characteristic, that is, the product market is unique, and the space and profit are naturally needless to say.

As a result, the atmosphere was immediately lively, and no one mentioned the looting, even if the advance army did it, it was already a drizzle to be compensated by Japan, and then to gain Dong Ku's friendship and cooperation intentions.

In the midst of frequent toasts from everyone, Dong Ku once again proposed that those Japanese expatriates should be sent to Japan from various countries.

This proposal was exactly what the concession boss needed, so he reluctantly accepted it.

At this point, even if an incident is declared over, both parties are happy. In addition, the next cooperation, of course, Dong Ku is still the old rule, it depends on the gift.

And Dong Ku's hobbies, how can the bigwigs present know it? After the banquet, the businessmen and bosses who were not qualified to attend the banquet also prepared gifts to find suitable cooperation projects.

The dinner was invited by Dong Ku, which is also a signal to those who are interested, and tonight, it will be more lively than the banquet in Shanghai. Of course, Dong Ku will also receive the most gifts.

The Japanese, who were at this time almost begging for a reduction in compensation, were destined to take out a fortune and pay for the advance army's robbery. (To be continued......)
