Chapter 1208 Returning home after a thousand miles (Part 2)
China has a history of five thousand years of civilization. Although a family that can be inherited for seven hundred years cannot be said to be unique, it is definitely not a short-lived family.
When the old man in his family, who was considered a rich man in Tang Dao's eyes, took out what looked like a pirated genealogy from the simple wooden box in the basement full of gold and silver jewelry, Tang Dao knew that God was extremely rich for nineteen generations.
It's definitely not an illusion.
The Tang family actually has a little secret!
It turned out that the ancestors of Tang Dao's family were originally wealthy businessmen from Sichuan Province who settled in Rongcheng. However, as Yuanmeng came to dominate the Central Plains, the door to Sichuan Province, which had been resisting for several years, was opened. The ferocious Yuanmeng Han ordered a massacre of the people of Sichuan Province.
, Ten rooms and nine empty houses cannot describe the miserable situation in Sichuan Province at that time.
The millions of people in the original Sichuan Province were wiped out, which is why the theory that Huguang later filled Sichuan Province came to be.
The Tang family was not spared from this catastrophe. Only a few hundred members of the family, including only one male, fled to a remote area of Sichuan Province to settle down under the protection of family guards. This ancestor of the Tang family left his ancestral precepts when he was dying.
: Descendants of the Tang family must work hard to run businesses and accumulate money, and should not be extravagant. In troubled times, they should give up their wealth to protect their families, but if foreign invaders invade, they should spend all their wealth to help good generals defend their enemies!
This is also a bloody lesson learned, knowing that if the domestic tribesmen are in chaos, the big bosses need territory and population, and will never massacre. But if it is a foreign tribe, there is no guarantee.
Moreover, in order to prevent future generations from being wiped out by the clan, this ancestor of the Tang family, who had lost all his relatives, requested that four generations should be divided into families and not be in the same county. This was also the main reason why Tang Dao did not see his own Tang family.
Su Ze's great-grandfather was not from this branch. If so, Xiao Hanlian would also say that the money outside the ancestral hall was gathered by eight generations of the Tang family, including the prodigal son of Tang Dao.
From the 12th century to the present 700 years, the Tang family has of course only passed down the inheritance for 19 generations. However, as time goes by, the Tang family members who still uphold the ancestral teachings are only those ten generations now, and they are scattered in Sichuan Province at this time.
Everywhere.
I overestimated my parents' desire for future grandchildren.
The county's training quota of 10,000 young people is completely enough to send troops to the young men from outside the county. The people of Shigu Village, where the Tang family is located, are the closest to the Tang family. The instructors for the 1,500 people there are from Brigadier Wang Xiao's troops.
The injured and disabled were veterans who were able to fight again, and all the weapons and equipment were purchased with Xiao Hanlian's money.
"In addition, he has to recruit a thousand new soldiers. This can only be said to him that he can recruit all the new soldiers."
"If he keeps asking you this much, he can spare half a month to come back to see his parents, but he can only spare a day or two to get married?" Su Zetian hit the nail on the head with a warm smile.
Su Ze specifically named Tang Jili. Naturally, he wanted that guy to talk about the current situation. Anyway, that guy had just boasted about his awesomeness today. It wouldn't matter if he added a little more oil and vinegar.
"Who can be as stupid as the old man and give away the money that the young man has worked so hard to save?" Tang Dao found it hard not to find people in the world who didn't take the teachings of their ancestors seriously.
Xiao Hanlian spent a month traveling throughout southwestern Sichuan, holding "pirated" family trees and ancestral teachings, and contacted nearly 80 Tang clan members. Eighteen of the Tang clan members expressed their commitment to abide by the legacy, and a total of 1.5 million was invested.
Now foreign!
"Sure, I'm going to give birth to someone like him!" Xiao Hanlian, who was not very proud at that time, originally wanted to pat her son on the shoulder and say boldly, "It's the same whether I'm born or not.
"
"Hehe! Who ever allowed me to raise such a useless son! Just because his great-grandfather and his grandfather gave me money to use, there are a total of 18 families with the surname Tang in the four counties of southwestern Sichuan that haven't made anything yet.
It has been decided that the money accumulated over generations will be used by Commander Tang!" Speaking of this, Su Zetian felt a little less proud.
Then, two guys with bruises and swollen faces were punished by Tang Dao for half a night, and everyone was in trouble!
All the flowers have been spent, and yet I’ve been bragging about my family history to you for a long time, and it’s making people feel cold-blooded.
"What are you doing? He's the only wife you've ever had in your life!" Xiao Hanlian, who was also filled with worries, was not happy to see her here.
On the eighth day, when Tang Dao was too tired to do the splits, the seven of them went home with bruises and swollen faces.
"This is it! 2 million jins of polished rice, 1 million jins of white flour, 500,000 jins each of corns and soybeans, as well as salt, sugar and other daily necessities. These are not ready to be destroyed after the new year. He should
I want money!" Su Zetian said.
"Old man is worried, you still need old man and mother to help you take care of your son!" Tang Daoxiao consoled his father.
That's not my old man. If it were someone else, Tang Dao could beat him into a pig's head with one punch!
Tang Jili and Long Yan were very busy during those eight days. Like Tang Tuanzuo, we were forced to pick up guests. Yes, we were entertaining guests, but we went to choose the soldiers we wanted out of the 1,500 security regiment soldiers.
"Hmph! He hurriedly went to contact us about purchasing a running mat, and said that your son was about to get married in the army, and your Tang family welcomes the whole town to celebrate the eighth day!" Lu Sanjiang snorted again, and once again told her husband in front of his son.
Jun, it saved some face for her husband.
"Old man" Xiao Hanlian was smiling, but Tang Dao could feel the old father's deep love for his son.
Su Zetian was about to be promoted to the commander of the reconnaissance company, and 20 people were to be transferred that time. Tang Dao gave me 20 places, and Long Yan had already received Tang Dao's permission to choose 10 people.
If you pull out the 1,500 people who invested hundreds of thousands of troops and trained carefully for half a year, their combat effectiveness will definitely be worse than that of the 26th Division that first entered the battlefield.
"Mom, the military situation is tense now! He saw that since arriving in the Taihang Mountains, your Seventh Army regiment has fought eight small battles with the Japanese. As the regiment leader, you have to command from behind the formation, and you have to be responsible for the sacrifices and injuries before the battle.
We can only wait a little longer for all kinds of good things for the officers and soldiers!" Tang Dao explained with a wry smile and turned his attention to Tang Jili who was sitting in the courtyard.

"Enough! That's enough!" Tang Dao raised his little thumb. "Your Tang family is really the one!"
The people of Waichuan Province were scrimping on food and clothing to provide for the national war of resistance, which also reflected from another aspect that the name of the land of abundance was false.
It turned out that since the newspaper published the story of Tang Dao's resistance against war at Qixing Warehouse, and learned from the letter that Tang Dao was promoted to the commander of the 43rd Army's independent battalion, Su Zetian and his wife knew that their son's journey would end in nothing.
At that point, Xiao Hanlian's threshold was obviously lower than that of Tang Dao and her son. At most, she would tell lies with her eyes open.
Then, Tang Dao felt regretful and wanted to silence himself.
Unexpectedly, Tang Jili acted like a wooden man that time and pretended to hear.
But obviously, Tang Dao's face and figure that were obviously more like his mother's made that person have the shamelessness to say it.
Yes, so embarrassing!
"What's for it? All the money from the other eighteen families has been spent!" Xiao Hanlian glanced at her silly son who was blinded by 'money' and said calmly.
And these 1,500 people are all from families of ten thousand people, absolutely hometown soldiers!
"Of course there is no food available!" Tang Dao replied matter-of-factly. "When you went home to visit relatives, you didn't want to recruit a thousand new soldiers to go north with you. You Sichuan troops are all bad guys!"
Worrying is already useful, so you can only grit your teeth and support me to the end.
Tang Dao and his son both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time!
Only then did Tang Dao realize that his father's business in that area for nearly a hundred years was in vain. There were not more than ten thousand people in Shigu Township coming to congratulate him. The gift could be a bag of eggs or ten kilograms of rice.
Even if he brought a handful of fresh vegetables, the Tang family and the seventy guests they invited felt disgusted and treated him as a guest.
"How can this be done? There is no risk for those in the back line!" Tang Dao was startled and sweat broke out from his forehead.
Money and food alone are enough insurance for parents. Xiao Hanlian used the relationship with Brigadier Wang Xiao to find people outside the county and donate 200,000 silver to the Anti-Japanese War, thus obtaining the position of deputy head of the county security corps. However,
Darkness Zhengxiao recruits officers and soldiers of the security corps to undergo training.
"How do you call him an old man? What does it mean to be stupid? I am here for my son, why do you call him stupid? If his mother hears the letter, she will slap him to death!" Xiao Hanlian is probably a rare riser today.
This time, the eyes that stared at my son were a little smaller.
True to his word, the food standard for the seven of us tonight will instantly become rice porridge and biscuits, and we will also get a bite of the pork foreleg soup that we finished last night.
"If you want to resist Rico, you must be an elite soldier. How can you fight against Japan when you pick up a gun as soon as you put down a hoe?" Xiao Hanlian looked at her stunned son, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Are they as small as our family?" Tang Dao, who had not yet claimed to be a wealthy fourteenth generation, had hope in his eyes.
"That's right! He wants to let down the man who loves him. He is your son, Lu Sanjiang. You must imitate him." Lu Sanjiang nodded with satisfaction.
Su Zetian, who was still a little angry at first, immediately changed the target of his struggle to his precious son after hearing Xiao Hanlian's cheeky nuzzling and 'biting' his ear.
Military training is naturally even more difficult. Anyone who is careless will be judged as having the intention to rebel, which is a serious crime that will kill his head, but Su Zetian still took the risk and did it.
Food is a precious commodity in times of war, and the government is also cracking down on hoarding merchants. However, Xiao Hanlian was able to buy millions of kilograms. This is because he suffered a lot and lost a lot of smiles.
Especially in the future, this era of collapse of values that Su Ze has experienced!
"Old man, you mean" Tang Dao was really shocked that time.
"The old man is worried, his son, you will use every penny of that money to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War! When will you get it?" Su Ze, who was dazzled by his family's abundant financial resources, assured him by patting his chest.
With this posture, as long as Tang Dao is satisfied with you, a certain group will have a bump under his forehead, and the cliff will be much worse than Fujiwara Senzuo's attack.
"Tsk~~~ Since my son is still so observant of etiquette, it's so complicated, just go with him north that time and get married with him before you leave!" Lu Sanjiang slapped the table.
The lieutenant of the army and the lieutenant of the new army usually work side by side like real brothers, but in order to earn a bad soldier, the two of them have been very embarrassed in the past eight days.
What is the most awesome thing about Sichuan Province? Firstly, it has a population of 60 million, and seventhly it is not about food. In the next few years, that province will collect a total of 82.28 million shi of rice in seven years, accounting for nearly 70% of the country's rice!
"After the New Year! You and Tantai have also discussed it. If the war becomes more serious after the New Year, you will get married and set an example for the bachelors outside the group." Tang Dao saw that it was too late to escape, so he could only be honest.
Tell the time accurately.
"Yes, yes! The old man has no money, so he doesn't care!" Tang Dao quickly surrendered and was still thinking about what to do with that batch of money.
For the next eight days, the Tang family held a small banquet. Later, there was an overwhelming number of people congratulating them. Tang Dao was the protagonist, and his face became stiff with a slow smile.
That was perhaps the most intimate way for a father to express his emotions to his underage son at that time.
Xiao Hanlian did come to gather fire with his wife, and sat a few meters away to drink tea leisurely, but it was obvious that the old father's ears were kept perked, just to hear what his son was saying.
.........
"Nonsense, in addition to money, what does he need to lead the troops? Does the leader of his regiment know what he wants?" Xiao Hanlian looked at the stupid look on his stupid son and had the same urge to slap me.
Su Zetian was straight, but absolutely stupid. I was very vague as to who was the old man outside the house. The old mother forced her son to marry. I went down and said for sure: "Auntie, it is indeed true. The one with the tense situation on the back line in North China is Qiu Xing."
, the leader is so busy that he doesn’t even have time to get off the kang.”

"That's okay, that's okay. He'll tell the truth, when will he get married!" Lu Sanjiang stared at Tang Dao eagerly.
"Xiao Hanlian, do you want me to scold him for the things he did when he was young?" Lu Sanjiang tilted his eyes slightly when he saw that his husband's eyes were about to jump again.
Xia Xiaoyu outside the yard was quite worried, but Senior Tang smiled and waved his hands to comfort the man who was close to my age for many years.
"Is this true? The business scope of each company is the same, and the profits of each industry are also the same. Moreover, people are like you who have been passed down for eight generations. Naturally, when the population decreases, the expenses will be smaller!" Xiao Hanlian explained.
When he praises his son, he praises his son. Why does he insist on talking down to me?
"Dad, you will disappoint him and grandma." Tang Dao straightened his body and solemnly gave his father an extremely formal military salute.
"But the family with the most also spent 70,000 yuan in foreign currency, and the less was less than 700,000 yuan. Adding in what your foreigner prepared for him, the total difference is about 3 million yuan less. Is that still enough for him?"
Don't tell me what the Sichuan Army's equipment is, but there are actually a lot of sophisticated equipment stored in Sichuan Province. Even if Xiao Hanlian purchases old weapons, they are also Hanyang-made rifles in Qingyishui, and even some
There is no heavy firepower like the 77 heavy machine gun and 82 mortar!
Weapons and equipment, such as the shabby ones kept by the Sichuan Army or those made in Hanyang at the Shancheng Ordnance Depot, I really think the mortars are inferior.
Those things, whether it is raising money, buying food, or training security guards, all sound complicated but are extremely difficult to do.
When I came to Tang Dao to ask, I found out that the military competition was a method that the seven people had discussed in advance. It turned out that one was battle-hardened and the other was weak and strong, so they fought evenly!
"It's a letter. He asked Platoon Leader Lu, I am a bad guy who followed you all the way from Songhu. I am most vague about the situation of the battle."
"There are 20,000 young people in Jinxi County, organized by the county government. Each wealthy household has invested no more than 10,000 people to participate in the security team training. You have 8,000 young people in Shigu Township, and 2,000 are for daily field work.
One thousand seven hundred people had been doing farm work since before the defeat of Jinling in December last year, specializing in shooting and fighting.
I have been with my mistress for so many years, but I have never seen my mistress lay a finger on Su Ze, and that was also the case.
The only way to save my son's life in the battlefield against the brutal Japanese is not to make me weak enough.
That is the most precious gift that Xiao Hanlian and his wife gave their son.
"Don't think too little about him. That's what you Tang family members should do as Chinese people. He just beats the Japanese in the back line. As an old man, you only ask him for one thing. If it means death,
It's death, but the old man and his mother had no way of living in the first half of their lives!" Xiao Hanlian couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she saw Su Ze standing upright behind her with a lump in her throat, and patted the hem of Tang Dao's clothes with wet eyes.
The ash falling.
"Spent?" Tang Dao's mouth twitched.
"The lower court is here, how can you marry at will?" Tang Dao did not follow the ancient method.
"After getting married, he hasn't even been engaged for a year. How long do you want to drag this man's girlfriend with him? What was his name in ancient times? He was called the heartless man and the lover. He also changed his name to Tang Dao. How come he is called Tang Shimei? You
Although the Tang family is a small and famous family, they will definitely do such a breach of trust."
The purchase of various types of firearms, consumption of ammunition, materials and military expenses, totaled 300,000 yuan in money and food in six months!"
Hundreds of years have not passed since our ancestors' instructions were passed, and there are already very few people who can still take them seriously. Only one-eighth of the 30-year-old family can still abide by them. This is completely impossible without the endorsement of my son, the anti-Japanese hero.
I would like to see Xiao Hanlian receive a lot of looks.
"You are so young!" Xiao Hanlian suddenly spoke forcefully.
Tang Dao
In fact, it is extremely easy to accomplish even one of these things.
