Li Jixian recognized the person who came. He was the correspondent of Xiangzheng Mansion. After seeing Li Jixian, the correspondent didn't even get off his horse. He shouted on the horse: "Captain Li, I just received a notice from my superiors that the coal mine on the team is going to restart. Let all the original miners in your village report back to the mine. All No miners can be left alive.”
Li Jixian said: "Comrade Xiaoma, thank you for your hard work. Come to the village for a drink of water."
The correspondent named Ma shook his head and said: "The notice from the superior is very urgent. I have to rush to other villages to notify it, maybe next time." He whipped the horse on the buttocks and spurred the horse to gallop. And go.
Li Jixian asked the militiamen to let go of Zhou Qinghua and Wang Weimin, and said to them: "Let me just say, the Eighth Route Army is thinking of you. Why don't we arrange work for you? Go to the mine and work hard, and don't discredit our village. .”
Zhou Qinghua and Wang Weimin were very happy to see that they could return to work in the mine. Their families were also very relieved. If they work, they will be paid. Their family's life will gradually get better in the future.
Zhou Qinghua said to Li Jixian: "Don't worry. If you work for the Eighth Route Army, you will definitely work with all your heart. You will work as hard as you can."
The coal from the mines of the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column has a market, which not only solves the problem of tight funds, but also allows a large number of unemployed miners to re-employ, greatly reducing the pressure on the guerrilla column.
As happy as these miners are the employees of the Datong Railway Bureau. After the Eighth Route Army occupied Datong, the railway lines to the outside world had been cut off, and a large number of railway workers were unemployed. Now that the dedicated freight line has been opened, a considerable number of railway employees have found jobs again, and their family lives can also be improved.
After a period of preparation, a train loaded with coal drove to the edge of the base area. A small station with only two houses was built here. On one side of the small station stood Eighth Route Army soldiers and on the other side stood Japanese soldiers.
Wang Shuhuai was carrying a suitcase, which contained white-colored ocean bills and money orders. He handed the money to Ma Zhenyu. The two talked for a while and completed the first transaction. Then Ma Zhenyu waved his hand and the Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers standing on the train got off the train. A Japanese squad leader led a group of soldiers After taking over the train, the train started and drove into the Japanese-occupied area.
Ma Zhenyu looked at the ocean of white flowers in his suitcase, and then at the train in the distance, and said happily: "This is really a train that sounds like a thousand taels of gold. Brother Dalong has a way, and this time we can solve the problem." Problem."
The first coal-carrying train is bound for Taiyuan. The two parties have agreed that different coal-carrying trains will go to Taiyuan, Yucheng, Peiping and Tianjin every day. This road was all in Japanese-occupied areas, and soldiers from the 32nd Division were responsible for escorting them.
After the first coal train arrived in Yucheng, the coal was unloaded in a cargo yard. This cargo yard belonged to the 32nd Garrison Division and the 4th Division of Huang Xiejun. They jointly founded the East Asia Shanxi Commercial Trading Co., Ltd. The leader is Genda Shouichi, the major staff officer of the finance unit of the 32nd Division, and the specific manager is Wang Shuhuai of Huang Xiejun's 4th Division.
At this moment, the two of them were leading a group of Japanese soldiers and Huang Xiejun soldiers to distribute coal in the cargo yard. The first thing to enter the goods yard were a large number of Japanese and Huang Xiejun military vehicles, and they took away the coal for their own use.
Next came the local coal store owners responsible for distributing coal, carrying money bags and checks. Dayang gave the payment to Wang Shuhuai and others, and then transported truckloads of coal into the city. The price of these coals was lower than the coal previously transported by Huang Xiejun's Fourth Division from the Mawushan base area. However, due to the large quantity, Wang Shuhuai and others still made considerable profits. Afterwards, the two of them took the money and came to the division headquarters of the 32nd Guarding Division and reported to Qianye Xunyi and Yan Guiwu who were already waiting there.
After listening to the report by Wang Shuhuai and others, Yan Guiwu smiled happily, and Qianye Xunyi was also very happy. This was only the first transaction, and they could make so much money. Such trades would continue in the future.
Chiba Xunyi is now looking forward to these coal trains transporting coal to Peking, Tianjin and other places, and then transporting the in-demand materials there back to Shanxi to make a fortune. She praised Genda Shoichi and Wang Shuhuai, invited Yan Guiwu to have dinner with her, and brought Genda Shoichi and Wang Shuhuai with her.
The two of them usually had no chance to have dinner with Qianye Xunyi, so after being invited, they both felt flattered.
People also lined up in long queues in front of the coal stores in Yucheng. They have been notified that the supply of coal will no longer be limited in the future, and the price will be lower than before. The people are also very happy, which has somewhat alleviated the pressure of their lives.
Soon after, a coal train headed for Tianjin. This was the first time they went to Tianjin for trade. Genda Shouichi and Wang Shuhuai personally led a small group of Japanese soldiers and a platoon of Huang Xiejun soldiers to escort them.
When they passed through the Japanese-occupied areas along the way, they encountered no obstruction from the Japanese and puppets. The Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas also received notices from their superiors not to launch attacks on the East Asia Trading Company's trains. Soon after, the train entered Tianjin smoothly.
Tianjin Taiping Trading Company was established in the name of Ge Ailing, and the specific persons in charge were Ge Ailing and Zhu Guangzhao. In order to avoid their lack of experience, Xu Dalong specially transferred Zhou Mingde's uncle Ma Zhixin from Taiyuan City and asked him to take care of Zhu Guangming and Ge Ailing for a period of time, and then hand them over to them for management after they became proficient in their business.
This trading house is the underground transportation station of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region in Tianjin City. It is responsible for transporting personnel and purchasing various strategic materials needed by the Eighth Route Army. The first batch of purchased materials included cloth, sewing machines, sewing threads, buttons, etc., which were mainly provided to the Eighth Route Army's garment factories for military uniforms.
Due to the large amount of materials they purchased, they soon attracted the attention of Wang Shihao, the new chief of the special high-tech section of the police station. He secretly sent people to conduct an investigation and believed that there was something wrong with this batch of materials, so he personally took people to Taiping Trading Company. Zhu Guangming, Ge Ailing and Ma Zhixin came out to greet them.
Zhu Guangming and others came to the reception room downstairs and saw Wang Shihao sitting on the sofa with several pseudo-policemen with guns standing beside him. Zhu Guangming stepped forward to greet him, politely raised his hands and said, "May I ask, sir, what do you have to say?"
Wang Shihao crossed his legs and held a cigarette in his mouth. He looked around at Zhu Guangzhi and others, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and blew out a high-level smoke ring. Then he said coldly Asked: "Are you the shopkeeper of this firm?"
Zhu Guangzhao said in a respectful tone: "Brother, I am the shopkeeper of this trading house." He took out a business card and handed it over with both hands.
A fake policeman stepped forward and took his business card and handed it to Wang Shihao. Wang Shihao looked at it and said: "Zhu Guangzhao, your accent sounds like you are not from Tianjin. Tell me, where are you from and what is your background?"
Zhu Guangzhao said: "My brother is from Taiyuan. His ancestors were in business. He came to Tianjin to open this trading firm after being introduced by a friend. Please take care of me in the future. I don't know what I call you sir?"
A fake police officer gave a thumbs up arrogantly and said, "Look, this is Section Chief Wang of the Special Higher Education Section of the Tianjin Police Department. He is a well-known figure on the ground in Tianjin."
With a smile on his face, Zhu Guangzhao raised his hands and said, "It turns out to be Section Chief Wang. I have admired you for a long time. Brother, I am new to Guibao Land. I ask Section Chief Wang to take good care of you in the future."
Wang Shihao had already made up his mind before coming here to investigate this trading house. If there were any problems in the investigation and it was proved that these people were related to the anti-Japanese elements, he would capture them and sacrifice them to the people of the island. This would be regarded as a celebration of his new official appointment. The first fire is also a good way to show his face in front of the people of the island country.
If this trading house had nothing to do with the anti-Japanese elements, they would be suspected of being anti-Japanese elements and give them a severe blow.
He stared at Zhu Guangming, took a long puff of cigarette, then threw the cigarette to the ground, stepped on it hard with his foot, and then crushed it on the ground with the sole of his forefoot.
He said: "I got a tip saying that your company is having an affair with the anti-Japanese elements. Tell me honestly, are you having an affair with the anti-Japanese elements?"
Zhu Guangzhao was the squadron leader of the special operations squadron. He had killed countless Japanese soldiers in Hanjian. Seeing Wang Shihao's face, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. If in the past, he would have killed the bastard in front of him with one punch in the morning. He thought about his current status and tried not to get angry, but his face began to turn gloomy, his eyes became sharp, and he exuded a murderous aura.
Wang Shihao had already sensed Zhu Guangzhao's unique temperament, and secretly guessed that this person must have a military background, which aroused his suspicion even more.
Just as he was about to have an attack, Ma Zhixin stepped forward.
Ma Zhixin was experienced and worried that Zhu Guangzhao would lose his temper and expose his identity. Seeing his face, he knew that Zhu Guangzhao was angry.
Ma Zhixin hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sergeant Wang, we are all good and law-abiding citizens. We don't dare to have liaisons with anti-Japanese elements. Please keep an eye on it, sir."
Wang Shihao looked at Ma Zhixin and asked coldly: "Who are you?"
Ma Zhixin raised his hand and said respectfully: "I, Ma Zhixin, am the financial section chief of this trading firm."
Wang Shihao said disdainfully: "All those who commit crimes say they are good citizens. Whether they are good citizens or not, I will know as soon as I check. You lead the way and go to your warehouse to take a look."
Seeing that Zhu Guangzhao was about to get angry, Ma Zhixin said quickly: "Sir, if you want to check the warehouse, it's absolutely fine. Please come with me." After saying that, he winked at Zhu Guangzhao, then bent slightly and looked at Wang Shihao and others. The man made a gesture of invitation.
The more Wang Shihao looked at Zhu Guangzhao, the more displeased he became, and he said to him, "You should also come with me."
After Zhu Guangming hesitated for a moment, several pseudo-policemen pointed their guns at him and said, "Be honest. If you don't listen to me, I'll shoot you."
Ma Zhixin saw that Zhu Guangzhao's fists were clenched and said quickly: "Shopkeeper, we are all good and law-abiding citizens. If the superiors want to investigate, we will take them to have a look. Anyway, we have no problem." He said, winking at Zhu Guangzhao again.
Zhu Guangming remembered his current status, turned around reluctantly, and Ma Zhixin took Wang Shihao and others to the backyard, and ordered people to open the door of the warehouse.
What the fake police are best at is conducting searches in order to make money from them. Wang Shihao ordered several pseudo-policemen to enter the warehouse first.
Wang Shihao did not follow him in. On the one hand, he was the superintendent of the special section and respected his status; on the other hand, he had sensed Zhu Guangzhao's unusual temperament and was worried that there would be danger in the hidden space when entering the warehouse, so he stood in the yard and waited. He ordered the pseudo-policeman to continue pointing his gun at Zhu Guangming.
The pseudo-policemen who were followed by Ma Zhixin entered the warehouse. The pseudo-policemen rummaged around and soon made a discovery.
The leader quickly ran out of the warehouse and said to Wang Shihao: "Report to the section chief, there are a large amount of cloth, sewing machines and other items stored in the warehouse."
Wang Shihao was very experienced and asked: "What color are those pieces of cloth?"
The leading pseudo-policeman said: "It's gray, the same color as the uniforms worn by the Eighth Route Army."
He was very experienced in extortion, and he understood what Wang Shihao meant as soon as he heard it, which was to blame the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention that these cloths were gray, even if they were white, he would say that these white cloths were prepared Dyeing, to make military uniforms for the Eighth Route Army.
Wang Shihao stared at Zhu Guangming and asked: "Tell me, what is the purpose of buying so much cloth? Is it to make military uniforms for the Eighth Route Army?"
Ma Zhixin rushed to answer: "Sir, it's okay. We are all legitimate businessmen and we don't dare to engage in illicit affairs."
Wang Shihao had already made up his mind to take action on this trading house. He said viciously: "Whether you are having an affair or not, we will find out after you bring them back for trial." Then he waved his hand and shouted: "Come here, seal up this trading firm and take all the people back for questioning."
Zhu Guangzhao was furious, pointed at Wang Shihao and said, "Are you being unreasonable or not? Why do you want to close down our trading company and arrest people?"
Many of the guys in the store were pretending to be special forces members, and all of them were ready to take action. As long as Zhu Guangzhi gave the order, they would take action to kill these fake policemen.
Wang Shihao felt threatened, so he reached out and took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Zhu Guangming.
Zhu Guangzhi couldn't help it anymore, his eyes widened with anger and he was about to take action.
At this moment, someone shouted: "Chief Wang, why are you here?" Then another group of pseudo-policemen entered the backyard. The leader was Ge Ailing's second uncle Shi Jianming, and next to him was Ge Ailing.
When Wang Shihao saw Shi Jianming, he was slightly surprised and said: "Director Shi, I am handling the case, what are you doing here?" He was a little worried that Shi Jianming had also gotten the news and came to take credit from him. He had just taken office and was trying to take advantage of this opportunity to make contributions, but he could not let Shi Jianming take the credit away.
Shi Jianming said: "Director Wang, this is all a misunderstanding. There is nothing wrong with this trading firm. Let me introduce it to you." (End of Chapter)
