Zhengbao Salt Village.
Zheng Shiqi has also been paying close attention to the situation in Dongzhou recently.
For Zheng Shiqi.
The Zheng family is now completely bound to Zhang Bao, and they and Fang Fu killed a lot of Japanese people at that time.
I've been really panicking lately.
Zheng Shiqi also heard about the Japanese methods.
If these Japanese people knew that Zhengbao Salt Village was involved in what happened at that time, then for them, Zhengbao Salt Village would definitely take action.
Zheng Shiqi also heard about the methods of these Japanese people from other people's mouths.
So cruel.
"Shopkeeper, I heard that the village about thirty miles southeast of us has been burned by the Japanese."
"Grandpa, the scenes inside are so scary!"
"I heard that all the men rushed into a house and set it on fire and burned it to death. The smoke spread for miles!"
A servant said to Zheng Shiqi.
"Thirty miles?"
"Why so fast?"
"Didn't you hear that Fangzhou Mu led people to contain him?"
Zheng Shiqi was very surprised.
"We went to contain them, but these Japanese people move at night. I really don't know how they can see the road at night."
"There's no way to stop them!"
"Shopkeeper, are we going to take any action, or let's run away quickly."
A person next to him asked Zheng Shiqi.
"You just said that all the men in this village were burned to death. Where are the women and dolls?"
Zheng Shiqi asked the man.
"Oh, shopkeeper, this woman is in several rooms. She was stripped all over her body and died completely. It's so miserable."
"Even those little girls are not spared. They are so beastly."
"As for those dolls, I haven't found them yet."
"But many large pots were found in the village, with broth boiling in them."
"It's unimaginable."
The man said to everyone.
Everyone around him took a breath.
"Shopkeeper, we can't go on like this. If they come into our place, it won't matter whether they have any grudge or not."
"Isn't this all done to them?"
"Why doesn't this Fangzhou Mu care about anything? Just let the Japanese kill people and set fires everywhere in our Dongzhou?"
"Yeah, I think we can't sit still and wait for death, we still have to find a way on our own!"
"Shopkeeper, let's do it! Where can we run to?"
"..."
The people around said to Zheng Shiqi.
"Of course we have to do it, but the problem now is that this time we are not like the previous one."
"This time we are doing it by ourselves, without Mr. Fang helping us. The reason why the fight was so easy last time was simply because of Mr. Fang's favor."
"These Japanese are not that easy to deal with!"
"Which of you has a good way to deal with those Japanese?"
Zheng Shiqi asked everyone.
Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other.
Before the official war started with the Japanese, many people before them had heard about how powerful these Japanese were. They would fight, but no one could guarantee how to fight or win.
After all, they must have resisted those villages and cities that were captured.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Zheng Shiqi was also worried. You said you can make money by doing business. For Zheng Shiqi, you are a master, but for things like war, even if they have thousands of people, it will not help.
"Shopkeeper, hurry up!"
"Get out quickly!"
While Zheng Shiqi and the others were discussing, suddenly a servant hurried in.
"ah?"
"Were the Japanese coming?"
Zheng Shiqi stood up suddenly, feeling frightened.
"What are you going to fight for?"
"it's me!"
Before everyone could react, Zhang Bao walked in, escorted by a group of people.
"Oh!"
"It's Zhang Zhoumu, why are you here?!"
"Hahaha!"
"This way you don't have to be afraid!"
"Made, you bastard Japanese, you dare to bully us, I won't agree!"
When Zheng Shiqi saw that it was Zhang Bao who came in person, he immediately laughed excitedly.
For Zheng Shiqi, he had seen Zhang Bao's methods before. Let alone the Japanese, even if the ancestors of the Japanese came, they were still scum!
"what's the situation?"
"Is something wrong?"
Zhang Bao looked at Zheng Shiqi's excited expression and asked Zheng Shiqi.
Along the way, they took other official routes and found no trace of the Japanese, so they didn't know much about the Japanese.
Zheng Shiqi told Zhang Bao about the Japanese.
Zhang Bao had heard about it before, so he wasn't too surprised.
"Instead of waiting passively, it's better to take the initiative to attract them."
"Your Zhengbao Bank has a large enough area and a large enough number of people, so you can do a lot of things."
"In this case, let's surround this place first, so that they won't sneak in!"
"The wall must be high. If those short radish people march in secret, they will definitely not bring ladders or anything like that."
Zhang Bao said to Zheng Shiqi.
"ah?"
"Sir, if we want to enclose it with a wall, I'm afraid it won't be possible for a while, right?"
"It's such a cold day, and there's not that much earth and rocks!"
"Before we finish the construction, the Japanese will probably attack us."
Zheng Shiqi was dumbfounded when he heard this.
If a wall can be built quickly, then there is no need to be afraid?
But now it's too late.
"From now on, let your men do two things. First, look for sand and soil everywhere for me. Find as much sand as you can find and transport it all around."
"Second, let everyone draw fresh water from the well and put it in various containers to wait. Even the pots and pans can be used."
"It's getting dark soon, so hurry up and do it!"
Zhang Bao said to Zheng Shiqi.
"ah?"
"Sir, what are we doing?"
Zheng Shiqi had a question mark.
"You'll know then."
"By the way, let me ask you, how much gold and silver can your Zhengbao Salt Factory mobilize in Dongzhou now?"
Zhang Bao asked Zheng Shiqi.
"Gold and silver?"
"I don't dare to say it's too much. I still have a few million taels. If I add some jewelry or something, I can make up a little more."
"Sir, do you want silver?"
Zheng Shiqi asked Zhang Bao.
"right!"
"You go and handle this matter. Not only do I want all the money, I also want those eloquent and clever people in Zhengbao Salt Village."
"Find them all for me. I have something to tell them."
Zhang Bao said to Zheng Shiqi.
"OK!"
"do my best!"
"Sir, we will do whatever you say!"
"I'll go now!"
Zheng Shiqi ran out as he spoke.
