Wang Sanxi was born in the Yunnan Army. Before fleeing to Burma, he was a battalion commander in the Yunnan Army. Although he had been out of the army for many years, the military aura in his body had not completely disappeared. "Are you really willing to hand over this line?" Bai Zhanshan came on behalf of the military command headquarters, so after Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe introduced the two sides, they voluntarily left the office. Neither of them had any intention of participating in the meeting. Standing outside the office door, Zhang Jianghe asked Tang Cheng in a low voice. He wanted to know what Tang Cheng really thought.
Hearing this, Tang Cheng turned his head and glanced at Zhang Jianghe, "Uncle, we are our own people, why don't you even believe me?" Tang Cheng thought of everything, but he did not expect that the appetite of those at the military command headquarters would be so big, but some He hasn't figured out what to say to Zhang Jianghe yet. "So what if I object? If you don't agree, you have to smile and applaud! It's clear that they are using the big to suppress the small. As long as we are still in China, we must listen to them!"
Tang Cheng's last words made Zhang Jianghe's heart skip a beat. He mistakenly thought that Tang Cheng had other ideas. "Uncle, don't worry, I'm not just a brainless person! I know what I can do and what I can't do. To say that I am unwilling to do so, I am somewhat unwilling, but none of us have seen with our own eyes what the situation is like at Wang Sanxi's side. Yes, so it’s too early to make a conclusion as to whether this deal will finally go through.”
Tang Cheng was not complaining when he said this. Wang Sanxi and the others were mining in Myanmar, and it was impossible without some means. Now it seems that Wang Sanxi and the others are desperate, but who knows what the situation is over there. If Wang Sanxi and the others do not break off their relationship with the Yunnan Army, the military commander will kill the dog if things go wrong this time. Here comes the trick. "Okay! As long as you know what's going on!" Zhang Jianghe felt that Tang Cheng's words didn't seem like he was lying, so he didn't continue to ask.
Tang Cheng lit a cigarette and smoked it silently. He wanted to unite with Wang Sanxi, but it was just a temporary idea. Even if they didn't join forces with Wang Sanxi to create a new smuggling channel, the Tang family would not be hungry. The Chongqing underground party had not been able to live well without their help before. Therefore, the appearance of Bai Zhanshan and the greed unleashed by the big guys at the military command headquarters did not cause much trouble to Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng did not pay attention to the meeting between Bai Zhanshan and Wang Sanxi, but after Wang Sanxi was sent back to the hotel, Tang Cheng still made three requests at Bai Zhanshan's request. "Uncle Bai, I am not a ignorant boy in Tangcheng. Since you said this is the request of your military command headquarters, I will just comply. Forget the compensation you mentioned before. Regardless of my three requests, I hope you will The military commander can agree."
Bai Zhanshan, who had reached an initial consensus with Wang Sanxi, was in the best mood. Tang Cheng made three requests. Bai Zhanshan did not respond immediately, but he did not refuse immediately. "First, I know that the war ahead is unfavorable, and the military is likely to recruit new soldiers again in the Kuomintang-controlled areas. My two younger brothers, as well as some of my master's apprentices, should meet the age limit for recruits. I hope they can be exempted. military service."
"The second request, I know that the Chongqing Station has always wanted to bring the search team under control. My request is that the search team will not be merged into the Chongqing Station or directly under the military command, and they and I can only be police officers. The third request , the shops that the search team had in the city were all purchased legally by me, and you military commanders cannot take them by force. And when something like this happens, your military commanders must support me. The police's signs will soon become difficult to use. ”
Bai Zhanshan originally thought that Tang Cheng's three requests were intended to make a big deal out of him, but he never expected that the three requests Tang Cheng made at this moment were all trivial matters. "I can agree to your first request now, but you have to give me a specific number. You can't just say it is the number!" Bai Zhanshan, who was determined in his heart, relaxed completely. In his opinion, It is not easy to agree to these three requests from Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng, who received Bai Zhanshan's response, did not speak, but motioned for Bai Zhanshan to continue. "As for your second request, I have no right to decide, but I will report it to the headquarters. The final decision is still made by the headquarters. As for the shops you mentioned, you bought them with money, so they are naturally your property. , even our military commanders can’t take anything from you. Besides, don’t forget, your kid is no longer a small role. I have heard the name Tang Wuye, the town tiger, from more than one person. People have said that.”
Zhang Jianghe didn't know why Tang Cheng made these three requests, but he knew that Tang Cheng did things flawlessly. Since he did this, Tang Cheng had his own reasons, so Zhang Jianghe just watched and said nothing. Tang Cheng, whose wish was fulfilled, was also in a happy mood. If Zhang Jianghe hadn't repeatedly hinted, Tang Cheng might have agreed to Bai Zhanshan's invitation to have dinner. "What are your intentions?" Zhang Jianghe, who finally couldn't hold himself back, asked Tang Cheng without caring that Bai Zhanshan was still here.
Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng looked at Zhang Jianghe with a seemingly innocent expression, "Uncle, I don't even understand what you mean! What can I do? Isn't this what Uncle Bai said? The headquarters is willing to compensate! Besides, The three requests I just made are not too much!" Tang Cheng said this with some confidence. Just looking at the three requests he just made, they are actually not a big deal. Compared with Wang Sanxi and others, , these three requirements of Tangcheng are not worth mentioning at all.
Zhang Jianghe was not involved in Wang Sanxi's matter. After Bai Zhanshan met Wang Sanxi, he immediately went to Chongqing Station. Two days later, Bai Zhanshan appeared in the military camp again. Not only did he agree to Tang Cheng's three requests on behalf of the military command headquarters, he also brought a box of calligraphy and paintings to Tang Cheng. Modern calligraphy and painting were not yet valuable. Tangcheng knew that many calligraphers and painters who had gone south were temporarily living in Wuhan, so they avoided Zhang Jianghe and made an additional request to Bai Zhanshan. This box of calligraphy and painting was given to Tangcheng by the Military Command Headquarters. A means of compensation.
Haha, these are all good things! Tang Cheng carefully locked the door of the office, then opened the box and took out the framed paintings and calligraphy one by one. The notes affixed to the scrolls have all indicated the authors of the calligraphy and painting. Tang Cheng saw at a glance that they were all famous calligraphers and painters in later generations. Seeing these calligraphy and paintings, Tang Cheng suddenly thought of Xu Huanshan. According to the agreement, Xu Huanshan should still owe him two calligraphy and paintings.
Zhang Jianghe never played with antique calligraphy and paintings, so he couldn't figure out why Tang Cheng valued this box of calligraphy and paintings so much. Naturally, Tang Cheng didn't bother to explain to Zhang Jianghe. The Wang Sanxi incident has come to an end. Tang Cheng used three demands and a box of calligraphy and paintings to clean himself and Zhang Jianghe out of this incident. "Uncle, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise! Wang Sanxi is not a peaceful person, and this matter will inevitably happen again in the future!" Zhang Jianghe wanted to persuade Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng counter-susued him.
Tang Cheng, who no longer participated in Wang Sanxi's affairs and had free time, began to take people around the city every morning. More and more refugees are heading south to Chongqing. Chongqing, which has experienced two rounds of severe crackdowns, is now showing signs of chaos again. The more outsiders there are, the more lurkers may be hidden. As Tangcheng walked, he used his insight skills to scan the pedestrians on the street. Although the Insight Technique can only be used for half an hour a day, Tang Cheng does not feel hesitant to use it. Half an hour is enough for him to scan the scope of two streets.
For several days, Tangcheng failed to scan any suspicious targets, and the informants deployed in various streets did not return many valuable clues. Everything looked very peaceful, but Tang Cheng knew that underneath this calmness, there was a huge crisis hidden. With the development of the war, some administrative departments have been relocated from Wuhan to Chongqing, and there are many more people wearing military uniforms in the streets where ordinary people live.
In this era, Tangcheng rarely had contact with the military, and had no contact with the group of soldiers. However, as more and more soldiers appeared on the streets, Tangcheng began to have a new understanding of the word soldiers. . "Captain, we have investigated everything. A lot of troops who have retreated from the front have come to Chongqing recently. There are many shelters outside the city. However, these soldiers are restless and usually come into the city in small groups to cause trouble." Zhao Dashan and the others did not need to leave the city to investigate this matter, and quickly brought the results of the investigation to Tangcheng.
Most of the troops that were pulled from the front were the remnants of the troops that had been maimed, or the stragglers who had become separated from the team. The broken soldiers were not allowed to enter the city originally, but these broken soldiers were not good at fighting, but they were good at fighting with the police. The police did not dare to intervene, so the defeated soldiers entered the city every day, and some brave ones even started to extort money by bullying the market. "Bai Xian is a coward. If this chaos continues, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
Tangcheng had nothing to do on a rainy day, so he simply sent people and vehicles to bring all the acquaintances from the garrison to the military camp. Tang Cheng's share of the labor camp has been handed over to the military commander, but this does not prevent Tang Cheng from continuing to cooperate with the people of the garrison. Tang Cheng mentioned Bai Xian at the beginning, and the people in the defense team immediately guessed what Tang Cheng was going to say next.
"The reception center outside the city was crowded with defeated soldiers who had retreated from the front. Those who had the ability and connections joined the temporary army, while those who did not have the connections wandered around the city all day long. I have said before that the public security environment in the city is It's related to everyone's wallets. I've been walking around the city these days and found that the city has started to be chaotic again. The source is because there are too many idle people in the city." Tang Cheng's words immediately made the people in the garrison excited. Get up, this is what Tangcheng told them during the crackdown last year.
