Chapter 15 Liu Tongpao's Smuggling

(If you think this is a good book, please support it more and vote more, at least I worked very hard and spent a lot of energy on each chapter)

After staying at the Nandianzi Inn for three days, Song Biao asked his brothers to be more careful, and at the same time often found a reason to go out for a walk and observe what was going on around him. He climbed to the top of the inn and used a telescope to carefully peek at the earthen floor.

The two bronze cannons.

Who said it was a self-made cannon? It was clearly a Japanese Meiji four-pounder field cannon that imitated a French cannon. Although there were very few bronze cannons among the Japanese Meiji four-pounder field cannons, the frame and the gun body were both correct.

Living in Liu Tongpao's inn, the food and drink were very good. In their spare time, some brothers from Niujiabao came to the inn to have wine and chat. Talking about the days in Niujiabao, they seemed to be as happy as gods, every day

There was wine, meat and big white steamed buns. When Song Biao couldn't buy rice everywhere, Hu Dalin deliberately dragged a large cart of rice and cured meat to temporarily store it in the inn, deliberately showing off the benefits of having rice and grain.

Liu Tongpao's weird and abnormal behavior soon made Zhao Tingzhu and Yang Tiesheng feel uneasy. They talked to Song Biao about these things, always feeling that Liu Tongpao wanted to secretly poach their team members.

When Song Biao got up this morning and was getting dressed, he heard someone practicing in the large courtyard of the inn. He pushed open the window covered with yellow paper and saw Zhao Tingzhu leading a team of more than a dozen brothers practicing diligently. They all had to follow.

Zhao Tingzhu's slogan kept loading and unloading the gun, practicing assassination.

Song Biao lifted up the window support and watched everyone's training while putting on his clothes.

After putting on his coat and felt boots, Song Biao was about to go out to bask in the sun, when Yang Sangui suddenly opened the curtain and came in, carrying a copper basin of bean porridge and a basin of vegetable buns. They were fragrant, hot and very tempting.

As soon as Yang Sangui entered the room, he said to Song Biao: "The boss, I'm afraid something will happen today."

Song Biao gave him a strange look.

Yang Sangui closed the door and then said: "Master, let Tiezi and Lao Jintou come over. There is something wrong with these vegetable buns. I ate one and there seems to be something wrong with the taste."

Song Biao became more and more surprised. Although he guessed that Liu Tongpao would play dirty tricks and might take action soon, he didn't expect that he would make a fuss about his diet. He looked at Li Dahan next to him cautiously.

No matter how stupid Li Dahan was, he couldn't even understand Song Biao's obvious meaning. He immediately jumped off the kang, put on his cotton shoes and ran out.

Unable to wait for Yang Tiesheng, who had been an apprentice in a medicine shop, and the experienced Lao Jintou to come over, Song Biao first picked up a vegetable bun and carefully opened it, smelled the dried prunes, diced pork and vegetable stuffing inside, and said: "It tastes like

It’s normal, but today is a luxury, there is even bacon.”

Yang Sangui said: "That's why it's strange. I ate one and chewed it slowly. The more I ate, the more I felt that it smelled of senna and rhubarb, so I used bacon and prunes to cover it up. If there really is senna.

and rhubarb, then I have learned a new trick. Putting senna and rhubarb in it is really hard to spot because the taste is very close.”

After a while, Yang Tiesheng and Lao Jintou came in.

The result was very strange. Even Lao Jintou didn't have any problems eating it. He just felt that the taste of the steamed buns with dried plums and diced pork was a bit too salty and too heavy. But Yang Tiesheng felt something was wrong. He always felt that there was a medicinal smell, especially the smell of rhubarb.

Senna plus rhubarb is a first-rate laxative.

Lao Jintou couldn't help but feel a little strange, and said to Yang Sangui: "Liu Tongpao has always been very loyal. There is no need to trick us with rhubarb and senna leaves. Besides, wouldn't it be easier to just add beans?"

Yang Sangui put the pot of bean porridge on the table and said: "Don't you think there is no croton? You see, his bean porridge is really particular. There are red beans, black beans and soybeans. The taste is so complex. He just put croton powder in it."

, can you eat it?"

"this?"

Lao Jintou was noncommittal.

Song Biao thought for a while and asked Yang Sangui: "If you take all three medicines, how long will it take for you to have diarrhea and how long will it take?"

Yang Sangui said: "If calculated on a per-person basis, the amount of medicine is not heavy, at least it cannot be compared with the decoction, and the effect will vary from person to person. Some people may take two or three hours, and the reaction will not be too big, causing diarrhea.

It will be almost healed after one or two times, and it may even be painful but not diarrhea. Some people with weak yin and cold may have diarrhea in an hour, and the diarrhea may not stop within a day."

Song Biao pondered for a moment, and then told Li Dahan and Yang Sangui: "Hanzi, there are four red paper boxes and several yellow paper bags in my horseback luggage. Go and get them for me. Sangui, you

Go to the kitchen of the inn and tell the chefs that we are going to Fengtian in the next two days and ask the chefs to make pancakes and keep an eye on them. Calculated based on the two days' worth, each person will have six pancakes."

Yang Sangui nodded and asked: "Then what to do with these steamed buns and porridge?"

Song Biao said: "The buns were torn apart and thrown into the kang to be burned. The porridge was left outside to freeze. Then it was cut into pieces and packed. I told the people at the inn that I would eat it on the way."

Yang Sangui said: "Okay."

Song Biao waved his hand, and the two of them went to work immediately.

Song Biao continued to talk to Yang Tiesheng: "Tiezi, go and ask everyone to take turns to come to my room to eat. Just say that I have something to say while I am eating. I will ask Zhao Tingzhu to call me over first. I have something to say to him."

"

"Um!"

Yang Tiesheng agreed immediately, touched the Nagant revolver in his waist, and very alertly opened the curtain and went out to send a message to the brothers.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Tingzhu hurriedly walked into the room with a few brothers. As soon as he entered the door, he whispered: "Master, I said there must be something behind this group of people, but you just don't believe me!"

Song Biao didn't like the feeling of being questioned very much, and retorted: "When did I tell you that I don't believe it? People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Don't you understand this principle? The best defense against the enemy is to look at it.

I don’t have any precautions. I am the head of the family, so I will naturally take everyone’s safety at heart.”

Zhao Tingzhu said hurriedly: "Master, you are right, I was hasty!"

Song Biao was silent for a long time with a cold face. Just as Li Dahan came in with the military rations, he stood up, tore open the packaging box, handed out three pieces to each person, and said: "This is food for foreigners, one piece is worth one piece."

A piece of pancake, but it’s a pity that it’s not as good as a big pancake to satisfy your hunger. Brothers, you’re going to have to endure some hardships today. Let’s eat two pancakes each to make a meal. Be sure to keep one piece with you. If there’s going to be a war, eat another piece to hold your stomach up and you’ll have the strength to kill someone.

.”

This is not the first time the brothers have eaten this stuff. At least they thought it was delicious. They couldn't wait to receive three pieces each, tore it open and ate it with laughter.

While eating, Song Biao explained some things to the brothers who came in, and asked them to go out and do things separately, and quietly prepared to leave. The three teams entered Song Biao's room in batches too early, and Song Biao explained them batch by batch.

Different tasks, prepare things properly.

Hearing that the Song family's caravan was cooking pancakes and making dry food at the inn, and that they were leaving for Fengtian Mansion, Liu Tongpao brought Master Yang San and Master Niu Si from the village to see them off.

As soon as he entered the large courtyard of the inn, Liu Tongpao greeted loudly: "I said, Master Biao, you are really unreasonable. You have to leave after just a few days!"

Hearing the shout, Song Biao got up and walked out of the room. When he saw Liu Tongpao in the shop, he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Liu arrived just in time. I was just going to say goodbye to you. Thank you."

I can't thank you enough for your hospitality these two days, but we were delayed too much on the road, so we still have to deliver the goods to Fengtian Mansion as soon as possible!"

Liu Tongpao waved his sheepskin robe very boldly and sat down at the table in the center of the store. He invited Song Biao to sit down and said: "Business is important and we have a long time to come. I won't keep you here for a few more days. In fact, Biao

I must understand in my heart. Little Japan fought with the Russians a few days ago before it started snowing. Many people died. Recently, a group of troops were sent to search nearby. There are several Russian soldiers in your team. Be careful.

Ah. I heard that you haven't bought enough dry food in Nandianzi these days, so I've asked someone to urgently prepare 400 kilograms of high-grain rice and 200 kilograms of fried noodles for you. If you save this little food, it should be enough for your team to go to Fengtian.

Already."

Song Biao sighed calmly: "Why is this so embarrassing?"

Liu Tongpao laughed more and more boldly and said: "It's hard to buy food these days. Brother, we know that you haven't bought much food. In fact, I saw that you have some Japanese guns in your hands. It is said that they don't have bullets."

, it’s the empty gun I got from the Russians, and I happen to have bullets. Otherwise, I’ll trade these grains with you for forty Japanese guns!”

Song Biao also laughed and said: "So that's it! You can never have too many guns. Since Mr. Liu likes it, I will let you pick out a few new ones and give them to you. As for the food,

We are almost ready, and we can probably reach Fengtian!"

Liu Tongpao raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little unhappy, while Yang San, the leader next to him, snorted with a stern face: "Head Gang Song, I advise you to think more clearly. The Japanese are out there, but there are three to four hundred men.

Looking for you, we took a lot of risks by hiding you in Nandianzi, which is the most benevolent and righteous, but if you don't even give me this little face, huh...!"

Liu Tongpao suddenly raised his hand, indicating that Yang San, the leader, did not need to say any more, and said to Song Biao magnanimously: "Forget it, since Gang Leader Song doesn't want to give up love, Liu won't force it, and the mountains and rivers will not change, let's

Our friendship always lasts a long time, so I won’t personally escort you out of Dianzi. I’m afraid the road to Fengtian Mansion will be uneven, and I hope Gang Leader Song will be more careful and don’t fall on the road.”

Song Biao smiled and said: "Yes, our friendship will always last. Thank you Master Liu for the reminder."

Liu Tongpao calmly stood up and handed over his hands, and was about to leave, saying: "Master Biao, please be careful on the road. I still have some things to deal with in the village, so I can't send them far away. I hope Gang Leader Song will forgive me!"

Song Biao also stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your kindness. If this happens again next year, I will visit you in person to thank you."

Liu Tongpao once again cupped his hands and said, "Easy to say."

After the two of them said these words, Liu Tongpao hurriedly left the inn with his men and horses with a straight face. Song Biao also saw him off. After Liu Tongpao and the others had left, he turned around and sighed.

As expected, there are still many bandits helping Japan these days. Speaking of which, there are indeed too many bandits in the Northeast. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, according to statistics, there were more than 3,000 bandits with considerable power. These were all able to give names.

As for those unknown little bandits, there are really countless of them. There is probably a small band buried in almost every hilltop in this remote corner of the Northeast.

There is no doubt that Japan is the main supporter of the Northeast bandits. Almost half of the firearms and ammunition for the Northeast bandits come from Japan.

After the end of World War I, Japan, forced by the United States, France and other countries, had to evacuate Shandong. However, they immediately bought a large number of bandits from the Northeast and transferred them to Shandong on ships to fight. They burned, killed and looted everywhere, torturing the entire Shandong.

Out of shape.

Taking advantage of this incident, Japan openly declared that "China has no ability to govern itself" and hoped that Britain, the United States, France and other countries would regret forcing Japan out of Shandong. Japan not only publicly declared this in the international world, but also funded a large amount of money to support Chinese cultural figures in publishing books.

Arguments were made to prove this point of view. During this period, books and reports on this point of view appeared in endlessly in China, with a huge number of publications, all behind Japan's silver bullet offensive.

The badness of Japan is due to the abnormal development of the entire national culture. This can definitely not be changed by defeating it in World War II. To be precise, Confucian culture can easily breed some countries that overestimate their capabilities, such as Japan.

, South Korea, Vietnam, and North Korea are all typical examples of this, restless, trying to become a great power, trying to compete with China for the leadership position in Asia.

Japan is born with a "deceitful" mentality that uses small things to make big things. This mentality actually stems from Sun Tzu's thought of "the soldier is deceitful."

When dealing with a country like Japan, it is useless to reason and present facts. Only by bombing it a few times will it remain content for decades. If it becomes restless, it will bomb again. And do not use atomic bombs with the equivalent of tens of thousands of tons. If you want to bomb it, just bomb it.

Directly use a three-million-ton thermonuclear bomb. A three-million-ton thermonuclear bomb is not very powerful. The actual damage range is only a few dozen kilometers. It is a bit small for a big city like Tokyo. It is still the 100-million-ton bomb in the Soviet Union.

The equivalent Big Ivan is more practical.

Nuclear weapons are not terrible. Their nuclear pollution is far inferior to the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear power plant leak crises. To put it bluntly, millions of tons of TNT are bundled together and thrown away. The nuclear pollution will disappear in more than ten years. Compared with

The kind of pollution caused by leaks from nuclear power plants is much easier to deal with.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed like that, but weren't they still very prosperous afterwards?

Song Biao has always believed that the large-scale use of nuclear weapons against Japan is also a shortcut to rebuilding order in Asia. Of course, the real order needs to be spoken from the height of civilization.

Longli respected the virtuous and became a king, valued the law and loved the people and became hegemonic. Without Confucius and other Confucian sages and strong civilized etiquette, how could China have established an order in Asia in the past two thousand years?

Just because a country's economic aggregate is the first in the world does not mean that it is a country of kings. When your economic, military, and cultural strength are the first in the world, and the living standards and average quality of the people are also the first in the world, you will naturally

If it becomes the country that humans long for, it will naturally become the overlord of this world.

Knowledge is first and king, and national power is strong and hegemonic.
