"Marshal, Mayor Yuan is calling."

In Yishun County Government Office, Li Shaoyi had just woken up when he received a call from Mayor Yuan of Peking.

"Hello, Mayor. I'm Li Shaoyi."

Li Shaoyi had a very good impression of Mayor Yuan, so he spoke very neatly. However, he was just a scholar, and some of his ideas were too idealistic.

"I heard all the gunfire from the east. There are many people in the Beiping Municipal Government who are dissatisfied with you, but I am very satisfied with you. I sincerely invite you to attend the Pacification Office meeting next Monday. You are now a Commissioner of the Pacification Office, and it is time to put the discussion on the autonomous government in eastern Beiping on the agenda."

Mayor Yuan had actually been dissatisfied with the autonomous government next door for a long time and had been trying to find a way to ban them, but the problem was that he had no troops at his disposal, and the 29th Army was afraid of creating friction. The Central Army in Nanjing did not recognize it, but they could not come in.

Therefore, every time we had a meeting, the discussion would end up in nothing. Everyone was a group of people who were afraid to take responsibility and only knew how to attack each other in the meeting. When it came to specific measures, these people would shut their mouths again.

The situation is different now. Li Shaoyi has captured two counties in succession, and both were tough battles. If Li Shaoyi attends the meeting of the Pacification Office and is given a chance to speak, with his full support from behind, he may be able to continue expanding from the existing land.

"Mayor, don't worry. I'll attend the meeting later. But after these two battles, I'm really out of money. If I continue fighting, I'll need some military pay. My weapons were all purchased from abroad, and these two battles cost me..."

Li Shaoyi is not short of money or guns, but he still has to ask for what he deserves. If you don't want anything, everyone will find it strange. Although the current Beiping Municipal Government does not have much money, this matter has to be done by the mayor personally, so he has to give something.

"Don't worry about that. I've already asked the finance department to find a way to raise at least 100,000 taels of silver for you. Also, the two checkpoints from Peking to Tongzhou and Yishun are all yours."

Li Shaoyi was inevitably disappointed when he heard that there were only 100,000 oceans. However, for the Beiping Municipal Government, it was extremely short of money everywhere, and it was quite difficult to squeeze out this little money. In addition, the two checkpoints could also earn 10,000 to 20,000 oceans every year, which was considered a living income.

"That's great, thank you in advance."

Li Shaoyi knew that he could not push his luck any further. If he continued to move eastward after the meeting, he would have another chance to ask for money. Of course, judging by the nature of the current municipal senators, no one would let Li Shaoyi continue fighting.

After hanging up the phone, Mayor Yuan immediately called the finance department and asked them to send Li Shaoyi's military funds as soon as possible. After the meeting, according to Mayor Yuan's idea, he should ignore the opposition and let Li Shaoyi continue to fight eastward. If there is no money, how can he fight?

"Mayor, people from all walks of life in Peking have already started donating. As of the last hour, I heard that over 40,000 yuan has been raised."

When Mayor Yuan called the finance department, they also reported some good news, but a large part of the donations from the Nationalist government could not be used for their intended purposes, and most of them were eaten up by certain people.

"Then you keep a close eye on this money. Tell them I said it was my order. No one can take a single cent from it. All the money must be sent to Li Shaoyi. If anyone wants money, the autonomous government still has more than a dozen counties under its control. Let them go and capture them. I'll reward them 50,000 yuan for every one they capture."

Mayor Yuan has thrown out these words, and those who want to make a move will probably think twice, but it is not ruled out that there are some who are so bold that they will disregard everything else when they see the money.

Japanese Headquarters in Tianjin.

"Baga, idiot."

Papa…

"big eater…"

Papa…

The person who beat the man was Ryuichi Yamamoto, commander of the expeditionary force.

The ones who got beaten were naturally Brigade Commander Tian and Captain Hashimoto.

The two guys retreated 60 kilometers with their troops in shame before they found a place to settle down.

Before he could even catch his breath, Commander Yamamoto ordered his men to bring the two men over, and they were escorted by the military police themselves.

After the two men arrived at the headquarters, they immediately described how difficult it was to defeat Li Shaoyi's army, but in return they were slapped in the face. At this moment, their faces were almost swollen. Commander Yamamoto also felt a little pain in his hands. He had used his power when he beat people just now, and now he felt a little sore in his arms, but he still felt unsatisfied.

You have the strength of a brigade, and with so many Japanese troops, you didn't even enter the border. Instead, an entire regiment was wiped out by the enemy, and finally you lost a county town. I really don't know how you idiots fight. If I order you to go in again, you might lose even more territory.

"Commander, we have just received news that Li Shaoyi has become a commissioner of the Pacification Office and will attend a meeting of the Pacification Office in a few days to discuss autonomous government."

While Commander Yamamoto was stretching his arms, his clerk immediately brought him the latest news.

The Beijing Municipal Government held a meeting before, and they had nothing to worry about. Although the Beijing Municipal Government wanted to take these places back, the problem was that they did not have that much ability, and the 29th Army would not help them.

But now with Li Shaoyi, some things are completely different. This guy can do anything. Once he gets the support of the Peking Municipal Government, he might continue to attack eastward.

"Have you found out anything about Li Shaoyi's military strength?"

Commander Yamamoto suppressed his anger and sat in his seat with his eyes closed.

"Reporting to His Excellency, Commander, the investigation has basically been completed. The Railway Station Police Station has 400 people, the Southern District Security Brigade has 500 people, the Eastern District Police Station has been expanded to 2,000 people, the Tongzhou Police Station has 600 people, the Tongzhou Garrison Regiment has 2,000 people, the Yishun Police Station has 400 people, the Yishun Security Brigade has 1,000 people, and the Tax Police Corps has 800 people, totaling over 7,700 people."

Upon hearing this number, Commander Yamamoto and the others felt a chill run down their spines. When did this happen? How could so many people have been recruited so quickly? According to their impression, Li Shaoyi was just a small-time police chief at the railway station police station. Did all these troops just drop from the sky?
