Chapter 972: The hidden army
"This is a shot of crane-headed red with bees!" Hong Anbang looked at Zhao Donglei with a smile, "Congliang could not agree. Speaking of which, Congliang is really a tragic figure. He always sways between his own interests and the country. The result of swaying is that he can never become a hero, and can only become a chess piece on a chessboard. Even if this chess piece has great lethality and great energy, it can only be a chess piece."
Zhao Donglei had no expression on his face, "Mr. Hong, the Zhao family has now tied himself to the chariot of the Northern Expedition Army. I hope that what you can agree to will be fulfilled by then."
Hong Anbang said seriously: "Please rest assured that Old Master Zhao will do this. The Northern Army will always keep its words and never break its promise. You just need to take a look. Now Yang Hongfa and others in Xingling will understand that we do not welcome large amounts of land mergers and privately armed landlords, but we definitely welcome businessmen with abundant funds. The bigger your business is, the more tax we will draw. You must know that in our northern land, the taxes paid by farmers are too low. This big gap must be compensated from there, of course, from merchants. Therefore, we support you to make up for the bigger business, the better."
"But now, our Zhao family's funds have become a big problem." Zhao Donglei said.
"If Mr. Zhao lacks working capital, I can invest in the North Mansion!" Hong Anbang looked at Zhao Donglei and threw out a bait.
"This is not needed!" Zhao Donglei refused without hesitation and surrendered to the northern land. After losing the land, he would never want other businesses to be controlled by Zhengbei Prefecture. If Zhengbei Prefecture is allowed to invest, Zhao's family may be slowly eroded in the future.
Hong Anbang laughed and said, "Old Master Zhao was too worried. There is an arms dealer named Zhou Weifeng in our northern part. Now he is a senior official of our Northern Dynasties Ministry of War. The Ruifeng military training workshop he founded was invested by our Zhengbei Prefecture. Now he is an official and receives huge dividends every year. He is the real richest man in the northern part. Every year, our prince still borrows money from him, but we pay the principal and interest as appropriate. Our Zhengbei Prefecture has never lacked the spirit of contract."
Zhao Donglei would not be bewitched by Hong Anbang. In this regard, he was stubborn, "Although the funds matter is difficult, I have a solution. If Zhengbei Mansion is willing to lend me money, it will be welcome, but if you want to invest, you will be free of negotiation!"
"Well." Hong Anbang smiled and said, "We will not force Mr. Zhao to do this matter. Now the Zhao caravan is unobstructed in Tongzhou, and the Lang is already the deputy general manager of the Tongzhou headquarters in charge of logistics. Can we put our affairs on the agenda?"
Zhao Donglei was silent for a moment and finally nodded, "Yes, it's time to proceed now. The caravan with unimpeded passage will be able to bring your people and weapons into Tongzhou little by little. Zhao Pu has already arranged the hiding place. Our Zhao family and Huang family have prepared enough troops to hide your 3,000-man army to sneak into Tongzhou. Lord Hong, our Zhao family is holding their heads this time."
"With this big risk, there will naturally be great benefits!" Hong Anbang said: "After doing this, we have broken through the defense line of good deeds, and Dayue is already in the pocket. We have always been generous to the meritorious ministers. At that time, if Mr. Zhao wants to continue to expand his business or to become a magnificent official, he will be prosperous. Compared with Yang Hongfa, his status will be higher. After all, he is the icing on the cake, and you are a timely help!"
"That's good!" Zhao Donglei closed his eyes, "Mr. Hong, the old man is old and has no choice but to do many things. Please discuss the specific implementation details with Zhao Gang and Zhao Pu. I'm tired."
Hong Anbang stood up and clasped his fists and said, "This will not disturb the old man. Please take good care of yourself. After we take over Tongzhou, we still need a respected person like Mr. Zhao to take over the overall situation and stabilize the people's livelihood."
"If you can still live, you should do your best!" Zhao Donglei said.
Luzhou, Wushan, Ma Youchao Northern Army Navy Marine Corps Camp.
In the eyes of other troops of the Northern Expedition Army, the Northern Expedition Army Naval Marine Corps is a very mysterious army. They rarely appear in front of everyone. Even if they set up camp, they never choose to station with the army. For example, now, except for a very small number of senior figures, no one knows where this Marine Corps is located.
On Wushan, the camping of the Navy and Marine Corps is different from that of each army. There are no fences or various defense facilities. When you walk on Wushan, you can't even feel that there is a force that can change the situation of the war at any time. They set up sheds on the top of the tree and dig snow holes in the snow. Some extremely thick tree holes formed by years may also be their hiding place. As for those naturally formed caves, they are their favorites. With a little camouflage arrangement, it is a natural place to hide soldiers.
The camping seems to be messy, but there is an extremely close connection inside. When triggering a certain point, it will activate the entire disk, just like a spider web. As long as a silk is touched, the entire spider web will feel it and react quickly. The horse lover located in the center of the entire spider web will know it clearly.
Ma You is now completely obsessed with the combat methods of his own troops. Being obsessed with it means constantly studying. Now he is completely obsessed with the fact that he is studying hard all day long to learn how to make himself stronger. On Wushan, it has become his training ground for training. There is nothing wrong in winter, and other troops are just maintaining normal training, while this Marine Corps is conducting inhuman training.
When Hong Anbang saw Ma You, this guy was bare-armed and wearing only a pair of shorts. He crawled out of a snow nest. His body was covered with snow. He shook off the snow particles on his body. His strong and strong muscles appeared in front of Hong Anbang. He was stimulated by the cold snow and the red muscles. Hong Anbang was envious. He just wanted a man, who didn't want such a muscle, but he would never want to temper himself like this. Thinking of his increasingly bald belly, Hong Anbang couldn't help but feel sad.
I am a writer! He emphasized in his heart, and he despised his friend Ma a little bit. Those who work hard to control others, and those who work hard to control others! Thinking of this, the humbleness in Hong Anbang's heart disappeared, and his eyes became sharp in an instant.
"Old Hong? Where did you come out?" Looking at Hong Anbang wearing a thick cotton jacket, Ma You widened his eyes and screamed in surprise, "I have been missing for many years!"
Hong Anbang is indeed a person who is in the north, but he is the second-in-command of the official Fangsi, but he rarely appears in Xingling. The most familiar figures of the official Fangsi in the Northern Army are Guo Feng and Geng Chong. Zhang Lihua has also returned this year. Among the bosses of the official Fangsi, the only one Hong Anbang is not well-known.
Although Ma You was not considered a top-ranking general in the Battle of the Northern Army, he was an old man from the Battle of the Northern Army and had a special status. He knew Hong Anbang. He also knew the role of this person in the Battle of the Northern Army. In the first key battle to destroy Meng, Hong Anbang successfully instigated internal strife on the other side. It was precisely because of this contribution that Hong Anbang's position as a member of the Fangsi suddenly increased.
"You Ma, you are so intriguing!" Hong Anbang looked at the other party's naked body and shook his head repeatedly, "You are a general, and you are not afraid that the soldiers will lose their awe of you!"
Ma You smiled, "I am a navy and marine team, he is just a bunch of wild beasts. If you want them to convince you, you have to be stronger than them. In order to do this, I have suffered a lot, but it is nothing. I thought that in order to refine the water nature, I was almost drowned by Cao Xinyu. What is this? By the way, if you don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, and suddenly touch me, there must be something wrong!"
Looking at Hong Anbang, Ma You's eyes lit up.
"You'd better put on your clothes and go to your place to talk slowly. This is not the case!" Hong Anbang sighed.
Ma You laughed and took the clothes handed over by the guards, put them on randomly, "Go, go."
Seeing Ma You's residence, Hong Anbang couldn't help but widen his eyes, "This is where you live?" What appeared before him was a snow nest. From the outside, it was a bulging snow bag. When he turned to a low-lying place, he saw the door. Even such a door was also held tightly with pine branches and slab branches. Once closed, there was no abnormality from the outside.
"Don't look simple, it's warm inside!" Ma You smiled, opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered, Hong Anbang couldn't help but spit out, "What warmth is not much better than outside?"
"I'm much stronger!" Ma You smiled.
"Why don't you make a fire?"
"Creating fire, when fire is used, there will be smoke. We should try to minimize fire. You should know that when the army starts eating every day, in order to reduce smoke, we have tried every means. If we can, we will not create fire, and if we can eat raw food, we will eat raw food." Ma You smiled.
As he was talking, Ye Ping walked in from outside, carrying a meaty insect in his hand. The moment he stepped into the door, he threw it into his mouth, chewing the corners of his mouth, and the green juice flowed. Hong Anbang's stomach suddenly thrust and almost vomited out. However, Ma You stared at Ye Ping and cursed: "I have a dog. I have found a good thing, but I don't say I'm giving me some food. I'm so stingy?"
