Peng Yulin and Gilsky established a relationship. With this gold-lettered signboard, it was more convenient. Moreover, the tea, porcelain and other items brought by Peng Yulin were rare items and were easy to sell. After all, Heilongjiang is a bitter cold place. It was easy to find such items. Peng Yulin had both connections and money to open the way. He quickly became involved with the businessmen here and integrated into them.
Common people's tea shop, in the shop.
At this moment, Peng Yulin was chatting with the shop owner.
The shop owner was in the tea business, his name was Zhu Lianyu, a local businessman. He welcomed Peng Yulin's arrival very much, and talked and laughed with Peng Yulin. Of the two people, Peng Yulin wanted to make friends with Zhu Lianyu, while Zhu Lianyu from the Baixing Tea Shop He also wanted to make friends with Peng Yulin, and the two hit it off. When it came to business issues, Zhu Lianyu complained: "Mr. Peng, you don't know my current situation. The Russians have occupied the land, are ruthless, and rob at every turn. Not only that, Taxes are higher than those collected during the Qing Dynasty. Alas, business is not easy to do."
When Peng Yulin heard this, he still didn't understand the shop owner's intention.
Obviously, he wanted him to lower the price of tea.
Peng Yulin's mind changed and he sighed: "Brother Zhu, to tell you the truth, it's not easy for us to transport tea from the south. If we encounter pirates at sea, we have to pay; when we get here, we still have to pay." To give it to the Russians, we have to manage it everywhere. By the time we sell the tea to you, the profit we will make is very small. Who makes the Russians arrogant?"
Zhu Lianyu was stunned when he heard this.
He complained to Peng Yulin, but he didn't expect that the other party also started to complain.
Peng Yulin thought for a while, then lowered his voice and continued: "Brother Zhu, you don't believe me when I say that the profits I make are small. Let me tell you a secret, and you will know our difficulties. Pirates on the sea are not ordinary people. In fact, They were dressed up by Russian soldiers. They were robbing randomly. If it were not well protected, there would be absolutely no tea left. In this case, how could the price be lower? If this place was still under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty, without the Russians exploiting people at all levels, life would not be the same. It's so sad, it's not easy for us to take risks every time we transport tea."
"Who says it isn't?"
Zhu Lianyu sighed and said: "The country is not strong, so that we have become slaves to the subjugation of the country and cannot stand upright to do things."
Peng Yulin sighed and said, "Brother Zhu is right. However, Brother Zhu, you don't live in the south. You don't know that there is also a strong man in the south." Peng Yulin looked around and whispered: "This man's name is Li Zhen. He was the Zhennan King of the Qing Dynasty. This man defeated the armies of the United States, France, Britain and other countries, and even Russian soldiers suffered losses at his hands."
Zhu Lianyu sighed: "Mr. Peng, to tell you the truth, there are actually people here who are resisting the Russians."
"Oh, there are people here."
Peng Yulin showed a surprised expression, and suddenly felt happy in his heart.
What Zhu Lianyu mentioned should be Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan.
Zhu Lianyu also lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Peng, I saw that you are from the south, so I told you that there is a group of people here who have been resisting the Russians. There are two people in the lead, one of whom is holding a big gun. Guan Dao, the other person is holding a gun. They organize the people to attack the Russians."
"I didn't expect that there was such a person." Peng Yulin exclaimed.
Zhu Lianyu sighed: "It's a pity that the Russians are too powerful. They are in a difficult situation and they are ultimately unsuccessful."
Peng Yulin frowned, but he was already sure that it must be Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan.
One person holds a knife and the other person holds a gun, it must be.
Peng Yulin frowned and asked another question, trying to get the situation of Lu Shaochuan and Long Ao from Zhu Lianyu. Unfortunately, Zhu Lianyu didn't know much and didn't understand the specific situation. Peng Yulin had to give up in the end. He stayed in the tea shop for a long time, then stood up and left, heading to the next shop to continue to inquire about the situation.
…
Junlian Mountain is a huge mountain with lush forests and countless towering ancient trees.
Deep in the dense mountain forest, a group of people in ragged clothes gathered here. This group of people were all skinny, with no flesh on their faces, like skin and bones. Even their lips were a little chapped, and they looked sallow and thin. Caused by a lack of nutrition and food, although this group of people were skinny, their eyes were bright, showing a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat, and a spirit of invincibility.
Among them, a man was sitting cross-legged, with a large sword stuck next to him.
This man's face was covered with stubble, and his temples even had a hint of weathered color.
Although the clothes on this man's body were clean, they already had countless patches. Many places were so rotten that they could not be repaired. However, the expression on his face was extremely indifferent, without a trace of anxiety. If Li Zhen were here , he must have recognized that this person was Long Ao. At this moment, Long Ao had long lost the demeanor of a martial arts master, and he looked down and out.
Next to Long Yao, there was a middle-aged man sitting.
This person is none other than Lu Shaochuan.
Lu Shaochuan was no longer the high-spirited military general he was before. He looked very downcast. His expression was tense, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes. Lu Shaochuan took out his pistol, rubbed it for a moment, and sighed: "Old Long, let's We have almost used up our weapons and have run out of food. In addition, the people around Junlian Mountain are also in dire straits and lack food and clothing. It is difficult to support us. Tell us, what should we do next?"
Long Ao said calmly: "If you depend on the mountains, you will depend on the mountains; if you depend on the water, you will depend on the water."
Lu Shaochuan sighed and said: "That being said, it is now the second half of the year. We can survive the first half of the year relying on the game, wild vegetables, etc. in the mountains, but in the second half of the year, when the mountains are closed by heavy snow, there will be heavy snow everywhere. It’s snow, and without animals and wild vegetables, we can only drink snow water, and it’s hard to find food.”
Long Ao sighed: "Lao Lu, I don't know about our current predicament, but what can we do? The Russian army has been encircling us. If we go out, we will definitely encounter a dragnet. At present, we can only hide in In the mountains."
In fact, Long Ao also had a lot of helplessness.
Before he came, he thought that it should not be difficult to carry out the work, but when he actually started to do it, he felt the difficulties involved. Many things could not be carried out at all because the Russian army was too strong. He had few soldiers under his command and it was difficult to stop the Russians.
Even the soldiers of the Jiandao Camp brought by Long Ao were constantly reduced because of this, with only a few dozen left. The common people following Long Ao were also not many, only a few dozen.
The situation Long Ao faced was very difficult.
"Report."
A loud shout came from the front of the mountain forest, and a soldier hurried over and said loudly: "Mr. Long, it's not good, the Russians have started to search the mountain, let's hide quickly, otherwise we will be in danger."
