Faced with a large number of Communist Party troops, the Lu Army implemented the normal mobilization this time. Although retired veterans were recruited, they did not intend to mobilize the militia township regiments. Unexpectedly, the people were too enthusiastic, and the normal mobilization became a general mobilization. In order to protect the welfare that had been enjoying for a long time, Shandong citizens devoted themselves to the battle to defend their homes.

Since Zhao Guanhou ruled Lu, the interests of some merchants have been affected, especially in the two traditional interests industries of salt and grain. However, under the attack of his iron fist, these two merchants have basically lost their living space and have not spoken very well. At the same time, due to their vigorous support for industrial and commercial exhibitions and the overseas sales of Shandong goods, a large number of new interest classes have emerged.

These people became rich people through Zhao Guanhou’s support, and their own interests were bound to Zhao Guanhou. In addition, a large number of wealthy businessmen who invested and retired in Shandong must also ensure that their rights and interests are not infringed by maintaining Zhao Guanhou’s rule.

In Shandong Province, it has been reported that after the official appointment of a new governor, it will recover the tax arrears in Shandong over the years, cancel salt, grain subsidies, retirement system, and popularize primary and secondary schools. Although these rumors have not been based on reliable facts, they are enough to shake people's hearts. In more serious cases, some related businessmen found in the capital prove that these statements are not unreliable.

At this time, Shaanxi, Henan and several northwestern provinces were facing severe drought. Because no one cared about water conservancy facilities, there was no proper solution to the drought. The provinces were seriously short of food and had a humanitarian crisis. On the one hand, Shandong still implemented affordable rice, and on the other hand, it strictly sold grain according to household registration, prohibiting the outflow of grain, which made the official government very dissatisfied. Some news confirmed that once Shandong was easy to supervise, Shandong would definitely adjust the grain of Shandong provinces.

In addition, Shandong's light industry exhibition also affected the economies of other provinces. It caused the industries in most provinces to be unable to compete and could only do other ways or do the downstream of Shandong enterprises. The official government must make adjustments to all this, and the interests of merchants will inevitably be lost.

After receiving the above responses, the emerging grassroots interests and compradors who work as foreign trade in Shandong chose to continue to support Zhao Guanhou. They are well-known local credibility, and even they have confirmed that the news is true, the people will no longer hesitate.

The Provincial Parliament officially passed the self-made proposal of Shandong, Hebei and Jiangsu Province. All trains passing by Shandong will be detained and converted to military use. Amid the whistling of the train, a large number of Shandong troops entered the frontline positions, and at the public opinion level, they even bombarded Duan Ge in the name of investigating the death of the president.

Duan Zhiquan's response methods were also extremely tough. First, he approved the resignation documents of Cao, Zhao and Li, and then appointed him. Wu Jingfu took over as the governor of Zhili, Xia Manjiang was the governor of Shandong Province, Cheng Yune was the governor of Shandong, and Wan Yingshi became the governor of Xuzhou Special City. The Lu army was on standby on the spot, waiting for reorganization, otherwise, he would be punished as a rebellion and would not be lenient.

Immediately, shocking inside stories were published in the newspapers, and the news of the two banks becoming empty shells, Siheng and Zhengyuan Bank were extremely deficits. The government ordered the provinces to freeze the investment of Shandong merchants and seize Shandong's industries in various provinces. With this part of the income, it would make up for the railway bonds and the two banks' major deficits.

War is inevitable.

The warehouses in Shandong are open, and new guns, cannons, and mountains of rice and grain are piled up with gun oil, and are sent to the front line through the railway system. A large number of Shandong tickets and military coupons are filled with cars after carriage. Under the reputation of the first province, it contains amazing war capabilities. Since the Battle of Shandong, Shandong, which has not fought hard for several years, has given people the illusion of great damage to its vitality. Until this giant beast really started to move, it could feel how amazing its own power was.

Songjiang Wharf.

A tall warship aimed its muzzle at 6 grounds, warning people within the range of the artillery to not act rashly. Dozens of Lu soldiers were guarding the ship's side with guns, and a beautiful woman wearing a white silk lace thunder silk sun hat, a Lu silk cheongsam, and a foreign umbrella in her hand, slowly boarded the ship with the support of several young women. The high heels on her feet were clattering, and while walking, her snow-white legs were exposed between the silk cheongsams, attracting many soldiers to look at them.

The woman did not mind this behavior of eating tofu, but instead deliberately showed off her curves. Several young women covered their mouths and smiled, showing their capital like peacocks spreading their tails, making most of the young men who were unknown to the taste were stunned and red. The officer hit the back of the soldier's head, "Look! The handsome second sister dared to look at it, believe it or not and turn around and kill you all!"

"What are you doing when you beat them? As long as you play for the general, you can see whatever you want. Even if you want to touch it, it doesn't matter." The woman showed a charming smile, pinched a soldier's arm, and nodded, "It's so strong. Do it well, you're cheap." The young soldier only felt his throat dry and he couldn't stop swallowing his saliva.

The officer stepped forward and bowed, "Sai Erye is joking. Who dares to be honest and rectify the Dharma on the spot? Look, have you brought all the things? If you brought them, let's get up."

"Well, I will bring you all the things I can bring. The most precious thing in our Shandong is people. All the people around me have boarded the boat. You are blessed this time. Dozens of big girls, each of them has a net worth of thousands of yuan. If anyone can like them, they will be worth it."

"I would like to ask you to go to the cabin, our captain is waiting for you."

In the captain's room, two tall and handsome young men were all wearing navy uniforms and saluted respectfully. Sai Jinhua waved her hand, "Come on, don't be so polite to me. Mr. Xia and I are old acquaintances. You two are children in front of me, don't be so restrained, sit down and talk. Why? The Grandmaster sent you here? Is it so troublesome to pick you up when I take them back? Even if I don't bring people, why would Lu Zhenhe dare to do anything to me?"

This warship is the Lu Ying, a new steam paddleboard made by the Lu Army. Its predecessor is a semi-finished Prussian warship. According to Marquis Bassen, this modified warship is enough to destroy half of the combined fleet. In the Songjiang area, as long as foreign warships are not taken, they can be said to be invincible. Therefore, the brothers Xia Qiufeng and Xia Qiufrost are not worried about safety.

In the pre-Jin era, the two brothers knew the reputation of the top scholar and the world marshal's wife. Today, seeing that the old woman is still full of charm, I can't help but feel distracted when I think of walking together day and night. Xia Qiushuang poured a glass of wine and handed it to Sai Jinhua.

"Please use the second aunt. Although the situation is not so bad, it is always prepared. Since the matter between Chief Meng, the Grand Marshal has always been worried that the people around him will be damaged again. You are the Grand Marshal's second sister. You know, Mr. Shuai values ​​friendship. Although Chen Leshan of the Fourth Division is in our control, Lu Zhenhe and you are also partners. But he is also worried about other changes. After all, Xiao Fanzi took the slaughter this time, and the provinces checked Lu's family. Songjiang is the foundation. We are sent here just in case."

"Of course, Xiao Fan is watching tightly. Once we sell our big soil, his big soil will not make money. There is a few million yuan in taxes a year, so no one will jump to the feet." Sai Jinhua raised her legs without any mind and lit a slender lady cigarette.

"But if I want to arrest me, he is worthy! Songjiang used to be a Jin place to be a place to serve the government. When the imperial edict came here, he would have to give a three-point discount, let alone a small fan. Our company was in the concession, and he could still go to the concession to search? I made friends with other consuls and wife, and no matter who was a director of the Ministry of Industry. Even if he issued a strict order, Lu Zhenhe would not dare to move. Besides, Lu Zhenhe's entire property was deposited by his wife at Zhengyuan Bank. I was still Zhengyuan's manager. Do he still want the money when he arrested me?"

Speaking of this, Xia Qiufeng asked: "Second aunt, how is our investment? Did Zhengyuan have a run?"

"It's not rare. Once Guanhou broke up with Zhengyuan, he knew that this was the step. Besides, the newspaper said that Zhengyuan had a huge deficit and was on the verge of bankruptcy. But the people of Songjiang themselves knew that Zhengyuan made a lot of money by relying on the eraser stocks in Qianjinshitun. HSBC also endorsed the letter and was willing to provide unlimited guarantees and use positions with Zhengyuan. With foreign words, depositors naturally felt relieved and did not make a fuss. A few bastards wanted to make trouble, but were caught by the police, so no one came again."

The navy where Xia Qiufeng is located is a gold-swallowing monster, and the funds are mainly operated by Zhengyuan. After hearing this news, he finally breathed out and couldn't help but curse: "Little Fan, what a damn thing. If Zhengyuan really causes him to get hurt, I don't know how many people will lose their money. Fortunately, the general is prepared, otherwise the brothers will suffer."

"Don't worry, even if Guan Hou is not prepared, we will not suffer any losses. Zhengyuanli doesn't know how many people have deposits and how much savings they have. If we want to go bankrupt, those people will not let it go bankrupt, otherwise they will all have to lose their debts!"

Sai Jinhua spitted out a smoke ring with disdain. "No matter how high the plan of the small fan is, it has to be executed. Those big customers have no withdrawals. Xu Youzheng wants them to move, and they have to be obedient. In fact, the situation in each province is similar. He ordered the investigation of Shandong provinces, but how many people will really take action? The wealth of the governors of each province is mostly in Zhengyuan, or they also invest in Shandong provinces and pay dividends. Everyone is on the same line. If the seal of Shandong provinces is sealed, they will suffer losses themselves. What's more, the local gentry and businessmen are mostly doing business with us. If we lose, they will be ruined. We have foreign shares in our investments. The search is destined to be impossible. Second Gugu, your money is fine."

"We naturally believe that the second aunt is right. We are not afraid of money losses, we are just worried that we will not be able to fight a war without military pay."

Sai Jinhua smiled and said, "Little Chi man, just worry. You can let go of your hands and feet. Then the second aunt will give you a bonus and will not let you suffer any losses."

Xia Qiufeng smiled and said, "I haven't fought in the past few years, but everyone is actually feeling uncomfortable. It's a pity that this battle is probably the business of the 6th Army again, and the navy has no war. If it really wins, there is no bonus. Just smile more than me."

Sai Jinhua smiled and waved to him, "Come here, I will tell you something."

Xia Qiufeng's head was approaching, and Sai Jinhua's hand suddenly grabbed his ear and twisted it hard. "Monkey, there are not many hairs, and you dare to eat my tofu! Where are your eyes looking? You have not eaten Renna before, what's the good thing? Tell you, there are some wars, it depends on whether you know whether you know how to find it. Xu Youzheng dares to fight with us, so naturally there is some war. Do you think it's just a battle between Beijing and Shandong? Other provinces, some wars, send me back to Shandong first, and then you go to Yichang, and don't make any contributions, and see if I don't twist your ears off!"

The Xia brothers kept begging for mercy, and Sai Jinhua then stopped and sprayed a mouthful of smoke on Xia Qiufeng's face. "Silly, Er Gu is old, what's the use of me? When you make a contribution in Sichuan, Er Gu will find you a young girl and be sure to serve you. But if you don't fight hard, take care of your future!"

Xia Qiufeng begs for mercy, and Xia Qiushuang said, "I heard that Duan Zhiquan's brother-in-law Wu Zixin was appointed commander-in-chief of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and was going to station in Songjiang? Otherwise, we will fuck him for a while?"

Sai Jinhua looked at him provocatively, "You red guy, have such a lot of courage? You only have this boat in your hand, it's okay to fight water battles. I'm afraid it's not enough to catch people, right?"

"As long as you support me, we dare to do it. Although the navy is insufficient, the Fourth Division of Songjiang..."

Sai Jinhua thought for a moment, "Lu Zhenhe, a slut, has been doing business with us. If he loses three gold coins and makes him lose his military salary, he will not be willing. But if he turns against Duan Shi, he will not have the courage. I understand this guy's character, it is a rat's courage. He will look at the two ends of the rat. He will turn to the side. He wants him to publicly turn against the water, but he can't do it. If he wants to use it, he has to use Chen Leshan. He is the commander of the Fourth Division and can control the troops, but he has to use him and get the order of Guanhou."

Xia Qiufeng smiled and leaned forward and said, "So the second aunt still has to speak. Who doesn't know that you are the second sister of the Grandmaster? If you say something, Damaster will definitely listen. If you don't listen, you will also twist the Grandmaster's ears as if you twist me."

Sai Jinhua snorted, "I'm twisting your handsome guy, it's not necessarily the ears. But you, the red guy, have some reason to speak. I'll send a telegram to Jinan. They caught our Chief Meng, and we have to give them some color to see it to be fair. Let's take a surgery with this brother-in-law first. However, don't be idle on your boat. These cannons are not used as decorations. I often hear people say that this steam cannon ship is powerful, so you can show me once you go, and destroy the navy led by Wu Zixin first. I heard that he brought a fleet to Songjiang to give himself courage. Do you dare to touch someone on your boat? If you don't dare, run away quickly."
