Rise from eight hundred.

China has a history of 5000 years of civilization. Although a family that can be passed down for 700 years cannot be said to be unique, it is definitely not a short-lived family.

When the old man in his family, who was considered a rich man in Tang Dao's eyes, took out a pirated genealogy from the simple wooden box in the basement full of gold, silver and jewelry, Tang Dao knew that God was extremely rich for nineteen generations. It's definitely not an illusion.

The Tang family actually has a little secret!

It turns out that the ancestors of Tang Dao's family were originally wealthy businessmen from Sichuan Province who settled in Rongcheng. However, as Yuan Meng took control of the Central Plains, the door of Sichuan Province, which had been resisting for several years, was opened. The ferocious Yuan and Meng Han ordered the massacre of the people of Sichuan Province. Ten rooms and nine empty houses cannot describe the miserable situation of Sichuan Province at that time.

The original millions of people in Sichuan Province were wiped out, which is why the theory that Huguang later filled Sichuan Province came to be known.

The Tang family was not spared from this catastrophe. Only a few hundred members of the family, including only one male, fled to a remote area of ​​Sichuan Province to settle down under the protection of family guards. This ancestor of the Tang family left his ancestral precepts when he was dying. : Descendants of the Tang family must work hard to run businesses and accumulate money, and must not be extravagant. In troubled times, they should give up their wealth to protect their families, but when invaded by foreign invaders, they should spend all their wealth to help good generals defend themselves against the enemy!

This is also a bloody lesson. I know that if the domestic tribe is in chaos, the big bosses need territory and population and will never massacre. But if it is a foreign tribe, there is no guarantee.

Moreover, in order to prevent future generations from being wiped out by the clan, this ancestor of the Tang family who had lost all his family members also requested that the four generations should be divided into families and not be in the same county. This was the main reason why Tang Dao did not realize how big his Tang family was.

Tang Dao's great-grandfather was from that branch, otherwise Tang Jili wouldn't have said that the money in this ancestral hall was collected by three generations of the Tang family, which did not include Tang Dao, the prodigal son.

From the 12th century to the present, 700 years ago, the Tang family has of course passed down more than 19 generations. However, as time goes by, the Tang family members who still uphold the ancestral teachings only recognize these dozen generations, and they are scattered throughout Sichuan Province at this time.

"Then who can be as stupid as you, old man, and give away the money you have worked so hard to save over the years?" Tang Dao found it hard to believe that there were still people in this world who took the teachings of their ancestors too seriously.

Especially in the future, the era when values ​​​​have collapsed that Tang Dao has experienced!
"What do you say about your old man? What does it mean to be stupid? I am here for my son, why do you call me stupid? If your mother hears this, believe it or not, I will slap you to death!" Tang Jili probably had a rare moment of courage today. , the eyes that stared at his son were especially big.

"Yes, yes! Old man, you have money, and you are right!" Tang Dao quickly surrendered, and he was already thinking about what to do with this batch of money.

As for weapons and equipment, he really doesn't like the tattered ones kept by the Sichuan Army or the Hanyang-made mortars from the Shancheng Ordnance Depot.

What is the most impressive thing about Sichuan Province? Firstly, it has a population of 6000 million, and secondly, food. In the next few years, this province will collect a total of 8228 million shi of rice in five years, accounting for nearly 40.00% of the country's total!

Here, the people of Sichuan Province save money on food and clothing to provide for the national war of resistance, which also reflects from another aspect that the land of abundance is well-deserved.

"Hehe! But who allowed me to raise such a promising son! Not only your great-grandfather, your grandfather, your father's money must be used for you, but also a total of thirteen families with the Tang surname in the eight counties in southwest Sichuan have made decisions. The money I have saved is for you, Commander Tang, to use!" Speaking of this, Tang Jili felt a little proud.

"Are they as many as ours?" Tang Dao, who already claimed to be a rich man of the [-]th generation, had hope in his eyes.

"Isn't that true? The business scope of each company is different, and the profits of each industry are also different. Moreover, people are not like us who have only three generations. As the population increases, the expenses will naturally be higher!" Tang Jili explained.

"But the family with the least amount also gave out 20 yuan in cash, and the larger one has 300 yuan. Including what I have prepared for you, the total is about [-] million yuan. Isn't this enough for you?"

"Enough! That's enough!" Tang Dao gave a thumbs up. "Our Tang family, really, is this!"

"That's for sure, otherwise I would have been born like you!" Tang Jili, who was already very proud at this moment, originally wanted to pat his son on the shoulder and say boldly. "My seed is just different."

But obviously, Tang Dao's face and figure that were obviously more like his mother's made him not say it shamelessly.

At this point, Tang Jili's threshold is obviously much higher than that of Tang Dao and his son, at least they won't tell lies with their eyes open.

"Don't worry, old man, your son and I will definitely use every penny of this money on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War! When will we get it?" Tang Dao, who was dazzled by his own abundant financial resources, patted his chest and promised.

"What for? All the money from the other thirteen families has been spent!" Tang Jili glanced at his silly son who had been blinded by money and said calmly.

"Spent?" Tang Dao's mouth twitched.

This is my old man. If it were anyone else, Tang Dao could beat him into a pig's head with one punch!
After all the flowers were spent, he still boasted about his family history to me for a long time, which still made people excited.

"Nonsense, in addition to money, you want to lead the troops, do you, the leader of the regiment, know what else you want?" Tang Jili saw his stupid son's stupidity and had the same urge to slap him.

"Of course there are food and people!" Tang Dao replied matter-of-factly. "I am going home to visit my relatives this time just to recruit a thousand new soldiers to follow me north. We Sichuan troops are all heroes!"

"Then it's over! 200 million jins of polished rice, 100 million jins of white flour, 50 jins each of corns and soybeans, as well as salt, sugar and other daily necessities. These were prepared years ago. You don't want them. Where's the money?" Tang Jili said.

"In addition, you have to recruit a thousand new soldiers, so I can only tell you that you won't be able to recruit even a single new soldier."

Tang Dao
"There are 2 young men and women in Jinxi County. It is organized by the county government. Each wealthy household has invested more than 1 people to participate in the security team training. In Shigu Township, there are 500 young men and women, and 12 are used for daily field work. Since the defeat of Jinling in December last year, [-] people have stopped doing farm work and specialized in shooting and fighting.

The purchase of various types of firearms, consumption of ammunition, materials and military expenses have cost 30 yuan in food and supplies in half a year! "

"Old man, you mean..." Tang Dao was really shocked this time.

"If you want to resist foreign invaders, you must be an elite soldier. How can you fight with little Japan when you just put down your hoe and pick up your gun?" Tang Jili looked at his stunned son, with a satisfied smile finally showing on his face.

It turned out that since the newspaper published the story of Tang Dao's resistance in the Sihang Warehouse and learned from the letter that Tang Dao was promoted to the commander of the 43rd Army's independent battalion, Tang Jili and his wife knew that their son was going down a dark road.

Worrying is useless, so you can only grit your teeth and support him to the end.

The only way to save his son's life on the battlefield against the brutal Japanese is to make him strong enough.

Tang Ji used one month to travel throughout southwestern Sichuan, holding "pirated" family trees and ancestral teachings, and contacted nearly thirty Tang clan members. Thirteen Tang clan members stated that they would abide by the legacy and teachings, and a total of 150 million yuan was invested in cash. foreign!
Money and food alone are not enough insurance for parents. Tang Jili used his relationship with Brigadier Wang Da to approach the county and donated 20 silver to the Anti-Japanese War, thus obtaining the position of deputy head of the county security corps. Recruit security corps officers and soldiers for training.

The county's training quota of 1500 young people is enough for the county to send soldiers to the big bosses. The people of Shigu Village, where the Tang family is located, are the closest to the Tang family. The instructors of the [-] people here are from Brigadier Wang Da's army. It was composed of veterans who were injured and disabled and could no longer participate in the war. All the ordnance and equipment were purchased by Tang Jili.

Although the equipment of the Sichuan Army in Sichuan is not good, in fact, the sophisticated equipment stored in Sichuan Province is really good for all ages. Even if Tang Jili purchased old weapons, they were also Hanyang-made rifles in Qingyishui, and there were even civilian weapons. Heavy firepower like 24 heavy machine guns and 82 mortars!
Just pull out these 1500 people who invested hundreds of thousands of dollars and trained carefully for half a year. Their combat effectiveness will never be worse than that of the 26th Division that first entered the battlefield.

This is the most precious gift that Mr. and Mrs. Tang Jili gave to their son.

"Old man" Tang Jili was smiling, but Tang Dao could feel the old father's deep love for his son.

These things, whether it is raising money, buying food or training security guards, sound simple but are extremely difficult to do.

In fact, it is not easy to accomplish even one of these things.Hundreds of years have passed since the ancestral precepts were passed, and not many people can still take them seriously. Only one-third of the more than 30 people can still abide by them. This is completely conceivable when he has the son of an anti-Japanese hero as his endorsement. Tang Jili received so many looks.

Food is a precious commodity in times of war, and the government is also cracking down on hoarding merchants. However, Tang Jili was able to buy millions of kilograms, which meant he suffered a lot and lost a lot of smiles.

Training soldiers is naturally more difficult. If you are not careful, you will be judged as having the intention of rebellion, which is a serious crime that can kill your head, but Tang Jili still took the risk and did it.

"Dad, I won't let you and grandma down." Tang Dao straightened his body and solemnly gave his father an extremely formal military salute.

"Don't think too much. This is what us Tang family members should do as Chinese people. Just fight the Japanese on the front line. As an old man, I only ask you one thing. If you can't die, then don't die." , otherwise this old man and your mother will not be able to live for the rest of their lives!" Tang Jili couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw Tang Dao standing straight in front of him with a lump in his throat, and patted the ashes on Tang Dao's clothes with wet eyes.

This is perhaps the most affectionate way a father can express his emotions to his adult son in this era.

"Don't worry, old man, I still need old man and mother to help me take care of my son and daughter!" Tang Dao comforted his father.

Then, Tang Dao regretted and wanted to delete his mouth.

He underestimated the desire of his parents for future grandchildren.

. . . . . . . . .

"We're married. You've been engaged for a year. How long do you want to keep this girl's daughter? What was your name in ancient times? You were called a heartless lover and a heartless lover. You also changed your name to Tang Dao. Why aren't you called Tang Shimei? I'm from the Tang family. Although he is not a famous person, he would never do such a breach of trust."

Xiao Hanlian, who was still a little angry at first, immediately changed the target of her struggle to her precious son after hearing Tang Jili's cheeky bite on her ear.

Tang Jili didn't come to start the fire with his wife, but sat a few meters away and drank tea leisurely. However, it was obvious that the old father's ears were kept perked up to hear what his son said.

"Mom, isn't the military situation urgent now? You see, since arriving in the Taihang Mountains, our Fourth Army Company has fought three major battles with the Japanese. As the leader, I have to command before the battle, and I have to be responsible for sacrificing injured officers and soldiers after the war. We can only wait for the aftermath!" Tang Dao explained with a wry smile and turned his attention to Lu Sanjiang who was sitting outside the hospital.

"If you don't believe me, ask Platoon Commander Lu. He is a hero who followed me all the way from Songhu. He knows the current war situation best."

Tang Dao specifically named Lu Sanjiang, so naturally he wanted this guy to talk about the current situation. Anyway, this guy just boasted about his awesomeness today, so it would be okay to add a little more fuel and vinegar.

Unexpectedly, Lu Sanjiang was like a wooden man this time, pretending not to hear.

Lu Sanjiang is straight, but he is by no means stupid. He knows very well who is the boss in this house. The old mother is forcing her son to marry. If he goes up and says: "Aunt, it is indeed true. The battle situation on the North China front is urgent. I don't want to go. I’m so busy that I don’t even have time to get on the kang.”

Believe it or not, the food standard for the four of them tonight will instantly change to millet porridge and flatbreads, and they won't even get a bite of the pork shank soup that they didn't finish last night.

"Don't bother me with that. You can spare half a month to come back to see your parents, but you can't spare a day or two to get married?" Xiao Hanlian sneered and hit the nail on the head.

"Gao Tang is not here, how can we marry at will?" Tang Dao began to use ancient methods.

"Tsk~~~ Since you are still so observant of etiquette, baby, it's easy. This time we will go north with you, and we will leave after you get married!" Xiao Hanlian slapped the table.

"How can that be possible? There are so many risks on the front line!" Tang Dao was startled and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"This won't work, and that won't work either. Then tell the truth, when will you get married!" Xiao Hanlian stared at Tang Dao eagerly.

With that posture, if Tang Dao didn't satisfy her, a certain group would have a bump on their forehead. The cliff would not be much worse than Fujiwara Senzuo's blow.

Xia Dayu in the yard was extremely worried. Only Tang Xiaojiu smiled and waved his hands to comfort the young man who was similar to him.

After following his mistress for so many years, he has never seen her use a Tang Dao finger, and this time will be no exception.

"Before the New Year! Tantai and I have also discussed it. If the war slows down a little before the New Year, we will get married and set an example for the bachelors in the regiment." Seeing that he could not escape, Tang Dao could only act honestly. Tell the time point.

"That's right! Don't let down the woman who loves you. This is my son, Xiao Hanlian. Don't imitate your old man." Xiao Hanlian nodded with satisfaction.

"What are you doing to me? You are the only mother-in-law in my life!" Tang Jili, who was also filled with worries, was a little unhappy.

You praise your son when you praise him, why do you have to belittle his father?

"Tang Jili, do you want me to scold you for the things you did when you were young?" Xiao Hanlian squinted her eyes slightly when she saw that her husband's eyes were about to jump again.

"Isn't that young!" Tang Jili said weakly for a moment.

"Hmph! Hurry up and get in touch with us about purchasing a running mat, and tell us that my son is about to get married in the army. Our Tang family welcomes the whole town to celebrate for three days!" Xiao Hanlian snorted lightly and did not say anything in front of her son. The husband's army saved him some face.

Tang Dao and his son both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time!
Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing!

In the next three days, the Tang family held a banquet, and there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him. As the protagonist, Tang Dao's face almost froze with laughter.

Only then did Tang Dao realize that his father's business in this area for nearly a hundred years was not in vain. More than ten thousand people from Shigu Township came to congratulate him. The gift could be a bag of eggs, ten kilograms of millet, or even Just bring a handful of fresh vegetables, and the Tang family and the fifty guests they invited didn't mind it, and treated them as honored guests.

And those 1500 people are all from families of ten thousand people, absolutely hometown soldiers!

Lu Sanjiang and Long Yan have not been busy in the past three days. They are not forced to receive guests like Tang Tuanzuo, no, to entertain guests, but to choose the soldiers they want among the 1500 security regiment soldiers.

Lu Sanjiang is about to be promoted to the commander of the reconnaissance company. This time, 20 people will be transferred. Tang Dao gave him 20 places, and Long Yan had already received Tang Dao's permission to choose 10 people.

The Army Lieutenant and the Xinke Army Second Lieutenant usually work side by side as if they were brothers, but in order to earn a good soldier, the two of them have been blushing a lot in the past three days.

On the third day, when Tang Dao was almost tired and could do the splits, the two of them went home with bruises and bruises.

Later, when Tang Dao asked, he found out that the military conscription competition was a method that the two men came up with after their final quarrel. It turned out that one was battle-hardened and the other was strong, and they fought evenly!

Then, the two guys with bruises and swollen faces were punished by Tang Dao for half the night, and no one was lucky!
