Seeing Na Zan fighting for money with Liao Yunpeng, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't get a single point. He felt humiliated. Li Xinghong, who was watching with cold eyes, saw that the heat was almost over, and hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.

"I told you two to stop arguing. Director Liao, you see, it's not easy to come to the military gate. Why don't we tighten our belts and think about it for the sake of the admiral? Let's do this. I have the final say on this matter.

One and a half million taels of silver, even if you have to take off your pants and sell your buttocks, we will admit it." Li Xinghong pretended to grit his teeth and reluctantly give up his love.

"You...lieutenant general, I don't care if the general is to blame for this, you are responsible for it." Liao Yunpeng looked furious.

"I will support you. Someone has to take charge of this matter. The military sect is not an outsider. He is also the garrison commander of the Chongming Autonomous Region." Li Xinghong patted his chest and promised.

"Thank you Lieutenant General Cheng Quan. Thank you so much for that. One and a half million taels is one and a half million taels. I'm out. As long as you can send troops, I'll pay you one million taels in advance."

When things come to a close, Na Zan can't wait. He has no shortage of money now. If Chongming loses it, no matter how much money he has, it will be useless. As long as Chongming is fine, no matter how much money he uses, it will be a little extra money every year.

That’s all.

In the blink of an eye, one and a half million taels of silver were obtained. It was the end of the year, and the whole district needed a lot of cash, including year-end bonuses. Liao Yunpeng, who was tortured by the money and couldn't sleep at night, was already very happy.

This will greatly relieve his financial pressure.

Although the general has money, most of it is in stocks, bonds, real estate, etc. A lot of money is used to open mines and build guns. These things are long-term investments, but cash is very tight. Now it's one hundred and fifty

One hundred thousand is in cash and banknotes, you can get it immediately.

"Since Najunmen is so generous and willing to compensate for our losses, it will be easier for us to talk in front of the general. How about this, Najunmen, you stay in the post house first, and I will call right away and ask the general to come back.

?”

"Okay, okay, the sooner the better, the sooner the better!" Nazan agreed hastily.

Next, Liao Yunpeng was busy arranging accommodation, welcome banquet, etc., while Li Xinghong went directly to the switchboard room to call Chen Tianhua at his residence in Hangzhou.

…

In Huaikan Town, a grand banquet was being held for guests in an officer's courtyard. More than a dozen tables were spread out next to each other. The tables were served with chicken, duck, and fish, which showed the wealth of the family.

The young male patron Zhu Nian sat upright at the head table, with a look of happiness covering up his past vicissitudes. At this time, he was smiling, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and he didn't know where to place his big hands.

That's good.

The Gu family held a big banquet today to celebrate the 100th birthday of their recently born son.

Today, his sworn brother Song Xiaoniu came. He made a special trip from southern Gansu and brought congratulatory gifts from Chen Er, Luo Erhu and others.

Zuo Gang's widowed daughter-in-law and her two children also came to attend the 100-day banquet of Gu Zhunian's son.

Back then, Gu Zhunian was seventeen years old and was working as a coolie at the East Pier of the Japanese concession in Gongchenqiao, Hangzhou. He was beaten by the foreman. He happened to meet Zuo Gang, Song Xiaoniu and others in disguise. Song Xiaoniu came to the rescue, and the two became sworn brothers.

After that, Gu Zhunian followed Song Xiaoniu and worked as a bodyguard for Chen Tianhua under Zuo Gang. From then on, he gained the favor of his master.

Following the master in several battles over the years, he not only earned real estate and land for his family, but his official position was also continuously promoted.

A few years ago, Gu Zhunian followed the example of his sworn brother Song Xiaoniu and sold the property in his hometown. He took his widowed mother and brothers to settle down in the Meiguang Autonomous Region and lived in a large house. Last year, he even married a daughter-in-law who was also a housekeeper.

Men Xu Yunyuan's distant cousin.

Now, at the age of twenty-three, he is already the Director of Operations of the Investigation Department and the Captain of the Special Forces Brigade. He is actually a deputy commander with the rank of school officer, which is quite dazzling.

Gu Zhunian held a wine bottle in his hand and wandered among the tables where a group of neighbors and comrades-in-arms were sitting. He looked at whose wine glass was empty and quickly filled it up. Wherever he went, people were respectful and greeted him.

He held up his hands to express congratulations.

Listening to these words of congratulations and seeing those humble smiles, Gu Zhunian couldn't help but be filled with emotion. He couldn't help but think of the old team officer Zuo Gang, who later became a one-eyed dragon. It was he who taught him step by step how to fight and how to fight.

Survive on the battlefield.

But during the assassination of the lord by the Japanese in Yama Wangpo, this respectable boss left him forever. He still remembers the calm smile on Zuo Gang's lips when he made the life-or-death decision.

Not just him, most of the comrades around him died on the battlefield in the past six years. Those who survived are now the backbone of the army, and those who died are batch after batch. I am afraid that there are already growing wounds on their graves.

It’s full of green grass, and the only ones who can remember them are their own relatives!

Fortunately, the General built the Martyrs Hall, the Martyrs' Shrine, and the Martyrs' Monument in Meiguang New Town, so that these heroes who sacrificed their lives for the Meiguang Autonomous Region can have sustenance for their heroic souls and have incense to worship them, so that they will not be lonely.

Every time he thought of this, Gu Zhunian felt that his blood boiled. The general was worthy of fighting to the death for him. Even if he died in the battle, he would still have his own place in the Martyrs' Shrine.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horse hoofbeats outside. Everyone looked at the sound and saw the post officer with the command flag behind him rushing towards him.

Gu Zhunian and Song Xiaoniu were slightly startled. It was the post officer from the General's Mansion, and they immediately hurried up to greet him.

"That's Mr. Gu!" the post officer got off his horse and shouted loudly.

"I am!" Gu Zhunian greeted him.

"There is an urgent order from the General's Mansion, ordering Gu Zhunian to go to the General's Mansion immediately to meet him! When the post officer arrives, he will set off!" The post officer took out an official document from his body and handed it over with both hands.

After receiving the order, Gu Zhunian glanced apologetically at his widowed mother, wife and children, and his younger brother who was walking among the crowd pouring wine. He wanted to take advantage of this return from Huguang to prepare to accompany them, but it seemed that

There is a new mission.

Gu Zhunian knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times to his mother, "Mom, my child is unfilial and has to leave again."

Gu's mother's eyes were moist. She went to the General's Office and ordered that there must be another war. Her son was about to step onto the battlefield again. Her body trembled slightly and she said after a while:

"New Year, be careful!"

Gu Zhunian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, mother, the child will be fine." After saying that, he watched his soldiers go to the house to pack their luggage, and he went to grab his brother and said:

"Xiao Nian, I'm not at home. You have to be filial to your mother and take care of your sister-in-law and nephews. In addition, you have to study hard. Don't think that you don't need to study anymore because you are older. Even if you can't study well, you should at least be literate.

Duanyu, the general has said that only those who are scholars will have a future in the future."

Gu Xiaonian even swallowed: "Brother, don't worry, I will honor my mother, take good care of my sister-in-law and nephew, and study hard."

Only then did Gu Zhunian nodded with satisfaction. He watched the soldiers bring luggage and packages and bring in war horses. He said goodbye to his sworn brother Song Xiaoniu and the Zuo family's sister-in-law, and bowed to everyone around him. "Dear fellow villagers, brothers and comrades-in-arms,

I'm sorry for the New Year, everyone must eat and drink well today, please."

Everyone stood up and returned the gift together.

Gu Zhunian got on his horse, turned the horse's head, took a few soldiers and ran away with the post officer.
