The reputation of the soldiers in this era is very bad. They are far from being as close to the people as our descendants.
Immortal tiger dog, this phrase was very apt.
Soldiers were fiercer than bandits. Anyone who saw them would be afraid of them. Even officials were afraid of the higher-ups of the local garrison.
Soldiers definitely had to be paid, especially the troops of warlords. These private troops without faith could only rely on money and weapons to maintain their combat effectiveness.
Just like in the feudal era, without money, there was the danger of mutiny at any time.
After all, the times were different. The current army was armed with firearms, and the danger was multiplied. If they fell into the grass, everyone would be in big trouble.
A soldier who was paid was a master. Being a soldier in this era would definitely earn a high salary. After all, it was a high-risk occupation. Just like in the future, it was almost impossible for others to fight for a salary of two to three thousand yuan.
To the soldiers of this era, honor was not as important as money. The notes had been reduced to straw paper and no one wanted to use them. They could only give out money. Otherwise, these people would not buy it.
The 27th Division received the order. Naturally, a company of soldiers took their weapons and began to enter the city. The guards at the gate did not dare to stop them.
Fengtian City was the most prosperous city in the three eastern provinces. It was the place where the Braid Dynasty started. It was also the economic, military, and political center of the three eastern provinces.
There are the most Han people here. After all, this is our territory.
Next were the Japanese and Russians, as well as some Koreans and Westerners, but there were relatively few of them.
Shops in this era were unlike the high-rise buildings in the later era. Almost all of them were two-story buildings. The first floor was the storefront, and the second floor was the residential area or the warehouse.
The straight street wasn't very clean, but there were people cleaning it. The job of a cleaner had been around for a long time.
Fengtian City was very lively. There were many small stalls near noon. Some of the pedestrians would choose to have lunch at such places. Not only was it cheap, but it was also full.
It was not as expensive as eating in a restaurant!
Although the taste wasn't good, at least it could fill one's stomach.
Our Young Marshal, Zhang Xiaoliu and Zhang Qiyuan, were dressed in suits with two university girls. They were extremely carefree in the city.
He was rich, powerful, and handsome. A man like him was like a modern man who was very attractive to women, even if he had a wife. After all, this bastard would not hesitate to spend his father's money.
The father and son of the Zhang family are both handsome men, and they are also good at making women happy. This is exactly the same. From this, it can be seen that our Feng family's Young Marshal is indeed the son of the Zhang family.
Fengtian naturally had shops opened by Japanese people. The Japanese goods were relatively cheap and of good quality, so they were more popular. Especially Japanese cloth, which almost suppressed the local cloth. From the TV series of Dyeing Workshop, it could be seen that Japanese merchants had always been the enemies of Chinese businessmen.
During the period of the Republic of China, the Japanese were a barrier that could not be bypassed.
There were many smoking houses on the streets, which contributed a lot of silver to the income of Fengtian City. They were the main income of this era, and it could be said to be the sorrow of the era.
In order to raise military funds, the warlords naturally had to plant and sell drugs, which indirectly caused countless people to go bankrupt.
The sad thing was that in this era, smoking houses were just like restaurants. They were also one of the most fashionable places for business conversations. The previous Zhang Zhengzong had also smoked when he was young. If he hadn't controlled his son, Xiao Liuzi, that prodigal son would have also become addicted to smoking.
The most common thing for the Japanese was a custom shop, or a brothel to put it bluntly.
Ever since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese women had gone out of the country. The number of prostitutes was the highest in the world. They earned a large amount of foreign exchange for the country, which was used to build warships and guns to fight against the braid dynasty.
In the three eastern provinces, there were naturally many Japanese prostitutes. After all, for many men, they could spend a little money to press down on Japanese women and experience the feeling of a foreign master.
This was a tragedy, after all, the people of this era had a very low status, and the Wei Nation was the only power in the East, so the status of the commoners was naturally higher than the people of this era.
Japanese women dressed in kimono would be at the door to attract customers, and some men who couldn't stand the provocation would go in and spend money. This kind of thing had a history of thousands of years. Even in the era of the Republic, which was known to be the strictest, such things couldn't be banned.
More than a dozen soldiers with their arms around their shoulders were sloppy. They rubbed their fists and prepared to go in and spend money. Compared to the bear-like women, the price of the Japanese women was even cheaper than the local prostitutes.
Ever since the Mao Xiong Revolution broke out, a large number of Luosha nobles had wandered to the three eastern provinces. This was nothing new. The Feng army still had an organized Mao Xiong army, which was the favorite of our commander, Zhang Zhengzong. He couldn't even bear to let them fight in the first war.
Like the 27th Division, the 16th Division was stationed in Fengtian City. The 27th Division was the North Camp, while the 16th Division was in the South Manchurian base camp near the railway. This was also the area where the Governor's Office of the Guandong Army was located.
After all, the two sides could not get too close. No one would be at ease, and there would definitely be friction between the soldiers of the two countries.
The Japanese soldiers had been running amok for a long time, and the local people were very resentful. Previously, the King of Northeast relied on the Japanese army to deter the warlords in the pass, so he naturally could not do anything to these Japanese soldiers.
However, this time was different. These soldiers had been provoked by the imperial edict. They were not afraid of causing trouble at all. Even if the sky fell, there would still be tall men to hold it up. They also had the Northeastern King, Zhang Zhengzong, above them.
"Liu Zi, can't you tell your father not to let these soldiers with guns run amok in the streets? The people have a very strong reaction and are harassing the people.”The woman who spoke was in her early twenties. She was Zhang Ruru, a female student from Fengtian University. She was Zhang Zhengchen's third daughter. If Xiao Liuzi had not made an engagement with Yu Xiaofeng of the Yu family, this woman might have become his wife.
"Little Ru Ru, the 27th Division's commander is your father. Why didn't you mention it to him?”Xiao Liuzi had only become interested in the military in recent years. The main reason was that Old Zhang had begun to prepare him to join the army. He had even allowed him to attend classes in the martial arts lecture hall for a period of time. However, the soldiers did not become trainee soldiers. This prodigal son was not as good as Xiao Liuzi. At least, Xiao Liuzi had already become a brigade commander during this period of time.
"How can that be the same? " I'm a woman, but you're a man. Besides, your uncle has so many sons, but who does he dote on the most? Isn't it you? You're closer to him than his own son. Back then, he was the one who carried you out of the bandits 'nest in Lishu ditch. Without him, there wouldn't be you.”
Zhang Zhengchen really liked Little Six. When he was drinking with Zhang Zhengzong, he always complained that Zhang Zhengzong had betrothed to the Yu family first. Although the daughter of the Yu family was virtuous, she was far from being as young and beautiful as Zhang Ruru. Most importantly, she was not well laid by the Zhang family.
Xiao Liuzi's uncle said that his daughter had a fertile body and could definitely give birth to a boy.
Compared to childhood sweethearts, a child bride was still a little inferior.
