War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 574 Who is talking about me? (Thanks to '天边的神仙' for the 1200 reward!)
"You know nothing!"

Outside Taiyuan, in the wealthy manor that was once occupied by Xu Chaoyang, Yuan Fuzhen, Yuan Keqin, and Deputy Director Li were sitting in the hall at the same time. Yuan Fuzhen was sitting in the host seat, Deputy Director Li was sitting in the guest seat, and Yuan Keqin was standing in front of the two of them, with his head down and not saying a word.

"Do you still think you are the son of the Yuan family?" Deputy Director Li pointed at Yuan Keqin and scolded her angrily, because he felt that he couldn't bring himself to do anything to the poor people...

"Or after these few years in Tianjin, have you really taken yourself for a position as the elder of the Green Gang?"

“This is Shanxi!”

"Your brother-in-law has worked so hard to build a foundation for us, why is it so hard for you to do anything?"

Yuan Keqin said very aggrievedly: "But they are all ordinary people!"

"I didn't fucking ask you to rob!" Deputy Director Li screamed in frustration, "Did we ask you to pay when we collected the grain? If we hadn't collected the grain, which grain merchant would dare to enter Xinkou to collect grain? The people's grain was either destroyed by artillery fire or became the enemy's rations. At least we can get half of the money, right?"

After shouting this out, Deputy Director Li relaxed a little and said, "Keqin, you have to know that your brother-in-law is not only targeting the Xu family's foundation, but also our Yuan family's!"

"We have soldiers, guns, guns... these are just superficial things. Food! Food! Food! Food is the real thing!"

"Without food, you can only become Zhu Jie, who is hated by everyone. Only with food can you be called a righteous army. Otherwise, your brother-in-law's conquest of territory is useless, and everyone will starve together!"

"If we really have no food, who can we ask for it? Who will still look at you with black eyes? At that time, only the white eyes will look at you!"

"Useless thing!"

Yuan Keqin had never been through this before. She turned around and left...

Deputy Director Li looked at Yuan Fuzhen, pointed in the direction where Yuan Keqin left and said, "Look at this kid. He can't handle anything."

Yuan Fuzhen was also very puzzled and said: "Uncle, our family has so much food that we don't even have a place to store it. Why do we need so much food?"

"Is this too much? How many troops can Xinkou feed? When you have no food left overnight, Old Xizi Yan dares to sell you food for one thousand silver dollars per catty. Will you buy it then?"

"No one else has it as good as yourself!"

"With these grains, what we have conquered is called territory. Otherwise, what will we eat before the autumn harvest tomorrow? Can we have another meal? Although I don't understand what Chaoyang means by '1942', you will feel at ease when you have grains in your hands."

"Fuzhen, let me tell you, Chaoyang is a man of extraordinary insight. Every step he takes touches my heart. This man will definitely be able to build a great business. Who knows, in a dozen years, he will really be able to build a tripod in the Central Plains!"

Yuan Fuzhen didn't quite understand, so she could only tentatively ask Deputy Director Li: "Then, should we continue to collect grain?"

"Why not? Not only grain, but also seeds and fertilizers. Didn't Chaoyang say that we should take a long-term view and have a willingness to live when fighting the Japanese? I can see that Chaoyang is planning to stay in Shanxi this time. In the whole of Shanxi, is there any better place than Xinkou?"

"It would be even better if we could take Taiyuan..."

Deputy Director Li's abacus beads made a crackling sound. In his eyes, no matter what Xu Chaoyang did, it would be shocking.

"uncle……"

"And you!" Deputy Director Li didn't give Yuan Fuzhen a good face this time: "What's going on? You've been married for several years, why is there still no movement in your belly?"

Yuan Fuzhen lowered her head and her pretty face turned red. As a woman, how could she speak about such things?
Deputy Director Li quickly asked, "When I asked you to go to Xinkou to meet Chaoyang in the name of entertaining the troops, did he touch you?"

"Uncle~"

"This is a big deal! You two are so old now. If you don't have a child, how can your foundation be stable?" Yuan Fuzhen was forced into a corner and had no idea what to do. "How could it be too late? As soon as the things were delivered, their leader arrived. Chaoyang followed him directly into the shed. I don't know what he was researching. It was already daybreak when he finished his research. The next day, the leader went to patrol the troops, so I asked Yang to deliver it down."

"Don't always say the surname Yang, the surname Yang. His name is Yang Jingyu. Maybe when he establishes his own country, Chaoyang will even appoint him as the Grand Marshal of the Army. As the mother of the nation, you should show some respect to him."

Deputy Director Li seemed to have seen everything clearly and muttered: "In the current situation, the Japs are like the Yuan Mongols, and Chaoyang is like Zhu Yuanzhang. At the moment, he is not good enough in front of Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, but sooner or later he will be able to stand up. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

Yuan Fuzhen tried to ask, "Uncle, I heard that you took out all the cash for the grain collection this time?"

"More than that!"

"I sold many of your uncle's treasures, which he would never let anyone see, to the wealthy families in Taiyuan! Including Bada Shanren's paintings!"

Yuan Fuzhen asked in surprise: "Are you willing to do this?"

Deputy Director Li said with a wicked smile: "Why would I be reluctant to give it up? Chaoyang has established a country, and I am the father-in-law of the country. Whoever eats my food must spit it out!"

"Besides, this is the time when Chaoyang lacks support the most. If I don't invest heavily now, when the country prospers, will people look at us, the in-laws, with a straight face? For an emperor who has rolled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, even if his hair is white, the knife in his hand is still sharp. If there is no old friendship or merit, the identity of this in-law is like a knife hanging over your head."

Yuan Fuzhen still didn't understand and asked, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"You don't understand." Deputy Director Li waved his hand and said, "Your only task now is to wait until Chaoyang finishes this battle and quickly get pregnant. There is no time to waste!"

……

Ah cut!

Xu Chaoyang sneezed, but the itch in his nose didn't seem to be relieved. He sneezed several times in a row before rubbing his nose. He turned his head and said to Yang Jingyu, "Is someone talking about me?"

Yang Jingyu wondered: "My ears are burning too."

"It must be Wang Jinshan!"

Xu Chaoyang now blames Wang Jinshan for everything and he wants to eat this man alive. Without him, 217 would have been able to complete the original seven-day deployment smoothly. But this time it worked. If he didn't catch up with every step, 217 might have been destroyed if he hadn't been fully prepared.

Yang Jingyu leaned against Xu Chaoyang in the trench and asked curiously, "What are you going to do if Wang Jinshan comes back?"

"What to do?"

Xu Chaoyang waited with his eyes wide open and said, "If he dies between Xinkou and Ruyuekou, I have no solution, no solution at all. I can only swallow my anger and bear the consequences. If he comes back!"

"Then I will ask for credit for him. I will make a board to worship him and light three incense sticks under his butt every day!"

Yang Jingyu thought it made sense at first, but as time went on, it seemed more and more wrong: "How could there be any incense sticks..." He immediately realized that Xu Chaoyang had no intention of leaving any for Wang Jinshan!
"report!"

"The 716th and 688th Regiments have entered their respective defense lines. Our New 67st, New 1nd, 2th Regiments, Cavalry Battalion, Guard Squad, and Artillery Battalion have all withdrawn. Now half of Xinkou has been completely occupied. The 15st and 16nd Mixed Brigades of the Japanese have all entered Xinkou. The th Mixed Brigade is stationed at our Xinkou position, and the th Mixed Brigade is about to enter the Xinkou position."

The war is about to start again!
