Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

Yang Wei knew in his heart that even if Qi Xieyuan didn't ask him to help send troops to quell it, a fierce battle between Yang Wei and Zhao Jinzhong would be inevitable, and Qi Xieyuan's army just changed hands when it was a time of internal turmoil, not to mention Only by striking first can we defeat the enemy and defeat Zhao Jinzhong by surprise. At the same time, it can also give Yang Wei's newly recruited soldiers a chance to practice in actual combat. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that Yang Wei and Qi Xieyuan have the same concern, that is, the issue of military expenses. It is only natural for Qi Xieyuan to pay for the suppression of the "chaotic" party. It is really against Yang Wei's principles to ask Yang Wei to help.

Thinking of this, Yang Wei said confidently: "Miss Bai, it is Yang Wei's job to send troops to kill the enemy for the warlord, but Yang Wei's military supplies are in short supply.

Bailu got up from the bed when she heard this, glared at Yang Wei and said, "Commander Yang, you still don't forget to cheat at this time, isn't it too much!"

Yang Wei looked at Bailu innocently and said: "It's too much to say that you are cheating, Miss Bai, don't forget that the warlord didn't give me a penny of military expenses at the beginning, and after this time the enemy's Northern Expedition was even more financially tight. If you want to fight against Zhao Jinzhong, you can't let my soldiers go bayonet fight with them, right?" Quen Xue Shan He 164

It was only at this time that Bai Lu realized that asking for help was really uncomfortable, but now that she was asking for help, Yang Wei insisted that there was no military budget to send troops, and Bai Lu had nothing to do with him. After weighing it over and over again, Bai Lu had no choice but to Call Qi Xieyuan.

After informing Yang Wei of the urgent need for military expenses, Qi Xieyuan first cursed: "You bastard, you're going to take advantage of the fire to rob at this time, what a despicable villain!"

Bailu couldn't help but coughed and said, "Father, Commander Yang is willing to help out and be loyal. I hope father will understand."

The implication of these words is to imply that Qi Xieyuan should not push forward. Qi Xieyuan's anger was extinguished immediately, and he felt sad in his heart. He did not expect that he, a dignified military governor, would be reduced to the point where he would humbly beg his subordinates to send troops for help. However, now Yang Wei is Qi Xieyuan's only The life-saving straw that can be relied on, let alone asking for money, even Qi Xieyuan can only offer it with both hands. In desperation, Qi Xieyuan had no choice but to nod in agreement, dissatisfied: "You ask how much he wants?"

Before Bai Lu could open her mouth to ask questions, Yang Wei had already made a detailed list, which stated the quantity and price of the weapons and ammunition she needed. Bai Lu couldn't help being stunned. Writing, writing, and painting are all about calculating how much money you need, and even the food expenses are included in Yang Wei's calculation. For Yang Wei's stinginess, Bai Lu snorted furiously, snatched the list, and said to the phone: : "300 million oceans?"

Upon hearing this number, Qi Xieyuan on the phone immediately jumped into a rage. Is Yang Wei extorting money?No!He wanted to drink Qi Xieyuan's blood. If he approved Yang Wei's military supplies with a big wave of his hand, Qi Xieyuan would spend the rest of his life drinking porridge.

Bai Lu was caught in the middle of a dilemma, Yang Wei snatched the phone from Bai Lu's hand disapprovingly, and tried to persuade Qi Xieyuan respectfully: "Mr. Governor, the military expenditure is a bit high, but it is also for the sake of safety. Sending troops to fight, one go at a time and then decline and three times exhausted. Of course, it is impossible for the warlord to understand the truth of this. If he engages in a tug-of-war with Zhao Jinzhong, it will not only affect morale and destroy troops, but will also consume more military supplies. Winning in one fight is the best policy."

Qi Xieyuan on the other side of the phone didn't buy it, and said with a sneer, "Yang Wei, Yang Wei, do you want to cramp up your skin? The combined military supplies of Feng Jingtao and Cao Jiahua are not as much as you asked for. Please explain to me that you want so much What are the military supplies for? Do you want the life of the warlord!"

Yang Wei laughed unhurriedly and said: "The governor's thinking is too simple. May I ask the governor why Zhao Jinzhong is so bold and dares to turn against him? If there is no backer behind him, how dare Zhao Jinzhong act so boldly as a counselor?"

Yang Wei's words stunned Qi Xieyuan for a moment. Speaking of backing, Qi Xieyuan had also thought about it, but Zhao Jinzhong acted secretly and could not find any evidence at all, and it was even more impossible to trace the forces behind him. On the contrary, Yang Wei seemed to know everything well.

Qi Xieyuan couldn't help but asked tentatively, "Do you know?"

Yang Wei proudly said: "It seems that the warlord does not know something. Zhao Jinzhong is backed by the Japanese. The warlord should still remember Liao Huaji. After Liao Huaji was detained by his subordinates, a group of Japanese tried to rescue Liao Huaji. It can be seen that Zhao Jinzhong's relationship with the Japanese is far beyond the imagination of the warlord. If he only relied on the military supplies provided by the warlord, Zhao Jinzhong would not dare to be so reckless. Give a lot of assistance in terms of arms and military supplies."

After listening to Yang Wei's analysis of the facts, Qi Xieyuan gasped. Looking at it this way, it seemed that Zhao Jinzhong's daring to turn against him seemed to be expected. However, if the Japanese really provided help, it would not be easy to regain Nanjing.

The silence on the phone clearly showed Qi Xieyuan's vacillation and hesitation, and Yang Wei chased after him and said: "Qi Governor may wish to think about it carefully, if now we send troops to suppress the "rebellious" party and regain the land of Nanjing, then the time will be based on the strength of Nanjing." Plentiful and rich, don’t you need as much as you need for military supplies? I also hope that the warlord will have a long-term vision, and don’t lose the big because of small things.”

Qi Xieyuan was immediately shaken by Yang Wei's coercion and lure, and secretly thought that Yang Wei's words were also reasonable. Since Feng Jingtao, the commander of the first division, and Cao Jiahua, the commander of the second division, have not had many chances to fight since they took office. 』Yizhi, even with the support of Japanese weapons, it is not easy to confront Yang Wei, who was able to win the Northern Expedition in a row. Nature is not in a hurry.

After thinking about it, Qi Xieyuan gritted his teeth, and finally agreed to Yang Wei's request, and promised that Bai Lu would personally send the military fee to Hangzhou within three days.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that something in her mind was settled. Just as she was about to thank Yang Wei, she saw Yang Wei's chief of staff, Fang Shaohua, hurrying with a stack of documents. Walking towards Yang Wei, Yang Wei quickly got up and stood between Bai Lu and Fang Shaohua, pulled Bai Lu and said: "Okay, Miss Bai, since this matter has been agreed, I hope Miss Bai will return quickly. Shanghai prepares military expenses, and Yang is still involved in official business, so I won't leave Miss Bai alone."

Bailu's face was full of doubts, she didn't understand why Yang Wei seemed to be a different person in a blink of an eye, he didn't even intend to let him stay for a minute, he pulled Bailu and pushed her outside, finally He simply gave Bailu to Tieniu to take him out.

After finally driving Bailu away, Yang Wei took over the accounts in Fang Shaohua's hand and looked through them. Fang Shaohua pushed his glasses and said, "Commander, here are the accounts of funds and military supplies provided by many countries in recent days." Blood quenching mountains and rivers 164

Yang Wei looked at the bill. In just a few days, he received 36 German-made 150mm caliber howitzers provided by the Germans, 400mm 300-type field heavy howitzers aided by the Japanese, and British aided A large number of rifles and a loan of [-] million pounds, if you add the [-] million ocean military supplies that you extorted from Qi Xieyuan, it is indeed a very considerable amount.

The abundance of money made Yang Wei feel refreshed and refreshed. It seemed that he was going to do a big job this time.
