Heavy Industry Empire

Feng Yuxiang and the other four had just entered the city gate before they were stopped by someone. The first was a woman, 24 or [-] years old, who was pretty, but with a murderous look on her eyes and brows, she looked like a battle-hardened person. Wearing camouflage uniforms, steel helmets, a command knife and two box cannons on his armed belt, five soldiers behind him, all with Mauser rifles.Not only the clothes are good, but also the cowhide boots under the feet. I am afraid that this outfit is only available to Jiang Guangtou's direct descendants. Could it be that this Liu Tianling was arranged by Jiang Guangtou?Feng Yuxiang thought to himself.

"You guys, what's the matter?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

This woman was Liu Erniang who was stationed in Teng County. Hearing what Feng Yuxiang said, Liu Erniang didn't speak.

"What do you guys do? Are you soldiers or bandits?" Liu Erniang asked.

Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm not a soldier or a bandit. I'm in business. I heard that Teng County is good, so I came here to see if there is any good business."

Liu Erniang shook her head: "I don't rub my eyes with sand, you have weapons in your waists, let alone look at your two servants who are vigilant like wolves, it doesn't seem like you are doing business."

"Then what do you mean, we can't come to Teng County?" Feng Yuxiang asked back.

Erniang Liu chuckled: "Our Lunan is a free Lunan, and it doesn't break the law to own weapons. It doesn't matter if you are a soldier or a bandit, but remember, don't make trouble, otherwise it will be very miserable."

"Don't worry, we're just walking around," Feng Yuxiang said.

Liu Erniang snorted and led the soldiers, turned around and left.

Looking at Liu Erniang who was going away, the staff officer said, "This woman is not simple."

Feng Yuxiang shook his head: "It's not just this woman, the soldiers behind her are not simple, with wolf-like eyes."

Feng Yuxiang and other four people went forward and found a small shop. The waiter was very enthusiastic, the food was large and expensive, and the accommodation was also very cheap. They had a good night's rest.Early the next morning, the waiter brought Feng Yuxiang face wash water.

"Objectively, you got up really early." Xiao Er said.

"Hehe, I'm used to it. Thank you, you are also very diligent." Feng Yuxiang smiled.

"Workers, how can you not be diligent. If you have nothing to do, I will go back first."

"Hehe, there's nothing else to do, we're going to check out soon. I have a question, don't you know?"

"You say, answer yes if you know."

"Hehe, it's okay. We are a small business. It is said that tens of thousands of people have been recruited from Shangqiu. I don't know where it is. We want to sell some things in life."

"Well, everyone here knows that there are four construction sites in total, one in each county, and the construction site is very long. You can take the passenger bus in a while, and go to Pingyi from here, and you can see the construction site."

"Okay, thank you very much."

After leaving the small shop, there are roadside stalls selling steamed stuffed buns and spicy pepper soup. The delicious snacks are very tempting.

"Boss, here are four steamed buns with pork and four bowls of spicy pepper soup." Feng Yuxiang said heartily.

The staff officer next to him was quite surprised: "Haha, I didn't expect Boss Feng to be generous today. He used to eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables, but today I eat steamed buns. I want to eat two baskets."

Feng Yuxiang sighed: "I will let you satisfy your hunger when you come out, and you will have to eat more when you go back. Look at the common people, I'm afraid they won't even eat cornbread."

After eating, the four of them arrived at the station. The passenger bus from Teng County to Pingyi County departed at 25:24 in the morning. This thing is really strange, a dark green military truck.It's still brand new, with large pattern off-road tires, and there are refitted seats in the compartment. There are [-] seats in total, and there are [-] seats left except for one conductor.

The staff officer said to the conductor: "Well, you see, there are still two vacant seats in the pilot building. Let our boss go in and sit."

"No, it's reserved for the elderly. Those who are bumping in the carriage cannot be elderly."

Feng Yuxiang hurriedly said: "In other words, he said, we can just take the carriage, just take the carriage."

In fact, the car is already very comfortable. Although the seat is hard and bumpy, the speed is not fast.The car drove out of the station, and within a few stops, it became crowded. It was full of people, 25 seats were full, and there were more than ten people standing in the car.There were also two elderly people in the cab.

Feng Yuxiang asked the conductor: "Your car takes good care of the elderly."

The conductor said: "No, because this is a truck with severe bumps. Elderly people who are not in good health are not allowed to sit on it."

"That's right, it's a good intention. The old man's car is bumped and broken, but it will be troublesome."

The conductor sighed: "Who said no? Our passenger transportation company is for the sake of the health of the elderly. But who knows that the Education Department Qixun published an article in the newspaper and scolded our passenger transportation company, saying that we disrespect and discriminate against the elderly. We have been wronged more than Dou E, so the passenger transportation company stipulates that the driver's cab is reserved for the elderly, but the driver's cab is too high, and it is inconvenient for the elderly to get on and off."

The car went very slowly along the way, and after three hours, the car arrived at Baiyan Station, a large construction site in Pingyi, with more than 2000 strong men recruited from Shangqiu.

A group of people were busy in an orderly manner, some were digging the roadbed, some were moving earth and rocks, and the whole scene was extremely hot.Only some strangely dressed people were in command, and some people wore red armbands as if to maintain order.

There is a tea shed next to the construction site, which seems to provide tea for the construction site, and the person in charge of boiling water is an old man in his 60s.

Feng Yuxiang and four others came to the tea shed: "Old man, would you like some water?"

The old man smiled: "Hehe, this is actually a tea shed on the construction site. It's not open to the public, but it's okay for people passing by to have a drink."

As he spoke, the old man took four large bowls and poured water for the four of them.

"Old man, why is there no supervisor at this construction site?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

"The person in charge of commanding is the supervisor. Generally, more than 100 people have one commander, who is responsible for directing the workers how to work and what to do. After all, there are so many people building roads, it will be troublesome if there is chaos."

"Hehe, yes. But I see that everyone is very motivated to work."

The old man said: "All of us are from Henan. The harvest in our hometown is not good. We don't care about food and housing when working here. There are one or two hundred catties of grain every month, and they drive it directly to our home. The family members will not starve to death, and will not flee famine."

"Very good, then I don't know how the big guy eats, it can't be too bad." Feng Yuxiang asked.

"Good or bad, stick noodle porridge with steamed buns in the morning, steamed buns with pickled vegetables at noon, and fish every three or two days. But everyone is already very satisfied, and they can't eat such things at home."

Leaving the tea shed, Feng Yuxiang said as he walked, "It looks pretty good. These people are disaster-stricken people in the Shangqiu area. They don't have enough food and clothing at home. They come here to eat, drink and get food. It's good."

The staff officer next to him said: "Could this construction site be an illusion created by Liu Tianling? In other construction sites, there are supervisors whipping the supervisors?"

"Well, it's possible. The current warlords are killing each other. I really don't believe that this place will be so good. The tiger doesn't eat meat and has changed its nature." Feng Yuxiang also deeply agrees.

Everyone wandered around the construction site to attract the attention of workers wearing red armbands, and blasted Feng Yuxiang and others away from the construction site.Next, Feng Yuxiang's soldiers were divided into two groups, with a bodyguard for himself and a bodyguard for the staff, and took the passenger bus to wander around several construction sites. Until the next day, the two groups returned to Teng County to meet, and the results of the investigation were the same. There is no vicious supervisor with a whip at any construction site. The road construction workers do not eat well, but the normal meals of ordinary people are not bad, and they can eat enough. The food promised by the construction site is distributed to the workers in advance .

Feng Yuxiang sighed: "It seems that I was thinking too much. It turns out that there are really no slave workers. Let's go."

Feng Yuxiang is gone. He is not unreasonable. The autumn grain production in Shangqiu area has been severely reduced. There are many people affected by the disaster, and the local government has no ability to provide relief. It is also a good choice to let them come to build roads and make a living.

Feng Yuxiang came over to investigate secretly, except for Liu Erniang's attention, it didn't cause any twists and turns.At this moment, Liu Tianling is holding an emergency military meeting at the Longyashan military base.

Tang Haoran, the commander of the fifth battalion, Qu Weimin, the commander of the sixth battalion, Yang Dong, the commander of the seventh battalion, and the company commanders of the guard company were all present.

Jia Cai pulled out the map, pointed to Qingdao and said, "Jiaodong's guard, Commander Bi received the order from Zhang Zongchang and sent troops to attack us."

No one was surprised. After all, Yanzhou and Rizhao were occupied at once. If Zhang Zongchang didn't express it, he wouldn't be called Zhang Zongchang.

"The leader of the army is a division commander. Hu Sihai, one of the few strong men under Zhang Zongchang, has a reorganized division of 1 people, heading straight for Rizhao. It is expected to arrive in the morning the day after tomorrow. Let's talk about your thoughts. .

Tang Haoran said: "Looking at the numbers, they are quite inferior. At first, there were more than 1 people. At present, Rizhao only has 100, [-] people. But in terms of equipment, they are far behind. In my opinion, there is no need to defend the city. Beat them up. We're fast, and if we can't beat them all at once, we'll exhaust them."

Jia Cai said: "According to our investigation, their division has [-] cavalry and [-] trucks, and it also has a certain mobile force, but these mobile forces are not separated from the main force. Another more favorable condition is that Hu Four Seas despised us very much, and didn't pay much attention to it."

Tang Haoran said: "I'm going to beat him out, and hit him hard at the junction of Rizhao and Qingdao, so as to frighten him."

Liu Tianling shook his head: "Fifty self-propelled artillery can be used as tanks. I'm afraid they will have no problems at all. It's just that Hu Sihai retreated in this way. This is not the result I want to see."

Qu Weimin said: "In Rizhao territory, our troops have good maneuverability. We can get behind them, cut off their retreat, and attack from both sides, forcing them to surrender."
