" Tsk, tsk, they're really rich. Look at these guys. They're all saying that they don't have money, but they're actually making a lot of money."
Liu Chuan was holding a report in his hand as he read it slowly. The previous incident with the fake government officials finally came to an end.
As for the result, it was very simple. Liu Chuan wanted to teach these people a lesson, so he naturally wanted to kill them to warn the others. It was useless to simply scare them.
Liu Chuan picked out a few officials and said that they were traitors.
He would seize all his assets and chop off his head in the market. He was a traitor anyway, so Liu Chuan would not feel any heartache no matter how many people died.
Liu Chuancai had to admit that these guys were really rich. After being traitors for a few years, they plundered here and there. Each of them had money in their pockets.
Not only do they have money, but they also have food. It's a tradition in China. In this chaotic world, it's necessary to store food. There are even a lot of hoarding.
After this raid, the food that was confiscated was enough to feed the 200,000 refugees for quite some time, not to mention the money. This money was naturally used to buy some meat.
There were so many refugees, and there were still many places where they could be used to nourish their bodies. Although each household would not get much meat if they shared it evenly, it was good to be able to eat some meat.
Anyway, Liu Chuan's goal was clear. He did not want to work on the economy. It was fine if everyone was poor, as long as they could eat. If the economy was doing too well, the Japanese would be envious and come to take advantage of it.
He would engage in agriculture and some free-range breeding. He would distribute livestock such as chickens and ducks to the common people. Anyway, he could not save money in his hands. Having money was not money. It was a sin.
The Japanese would come and take it away if they saw it. Therefore, Liu Chuan was determined to use the Moonlight Clan.
However, it was worth mentioning that the Japanese had not taken away the taxes. It seemed that they were planning to hand them over to him temporarily for him to handle. It was just for the next few months.
As long as he did a good job and handed over the food to the Japanese, they would be satisfied and he could continue to hold power. He was very clear about this.
"Chief Physician Liu, I'm here ~"
Just as they were talking, Xiang Menghe strode in. He had been recuperating for more than a month, and his injuries were almost healed.
It had to be said that Xiang Menghe was really lucky. Although it was only a palm that was blown away, it would definitely not be a problem in the future.
However, in this era, when there was no penicillin, everyone knew that infection and inflammation could kill people.
Xiang Menghe was really lucky. Now that he had recovered from his injuries, he was still alive and kicking. However, he was missing his left hand, which did not look good.
"Sit down and talk ~ Liu Ximing, didn't you say that the office was boring? Let's go out for a walk and breathe some new air ~"
Liu Ximing understood that they were going to talk, but he didn't understand how his battalion commander, Xiang Menghe, could change so quickly.
He used to hate Liu Chuan, but recently, Xiang Menghe's attitude towards Liu Chuan had changed, and their relationship had become closer.
However, there were some things that Liu Ximing didn't know. Liu Chuan and Xiang Menghe didn't tell him either. After all, the less people knew about the secret, the less risk.
Liu Ximing went out as a lookout. Xiang Menghe's face became serious when he saw Liu Ximing go out.
"The commander has sent word that they will try their best to contact more guerrillas, but I'm afraid that many of them will not be able to be contacted.
This was very difficult. The guerrillas were usually jittery and would run away at the slightest sign of trouble. It was also very difficult to be a commander.
There were also some who could not be contacted. Ever since the outbreak of the war, many of the brothers of the national army had been defeated on the battlefield.
There were many scattered soldiers who were active on the battlefield behind the enemy's back. Some of them had directly integrated into the local people. They looked like ordinary people on weekdays, but once they saw an opportunity, they would shoot. Even the military commander did not know if they were guerrillas.
"However, there are some guerillas that we can contact at the moment. The commander has given us information. They will cooperate with your actions when the time comes, but we hope that you won't go back on your word.
These brothers of the national army have placed all their bets on your trust.”
Xiang Menghe took a deep breath after finishing his sentence. Liu Chuan had predicted that they would besiege the guerrillas.
This plan had already been formed in his mind since the assassination attempt. He knew that there was a commander in Xu Prefecture. And when he used the elimination method to let the Daxu Trading Company surface, this plan had already taken shape.
He knew the consequences of the guerrillas blowing up the railway. The Japanese would definitely encircle the guerrillas, and he was waiting for this opportunity.
"Don't worry, but there's one thing you have to remember. Don't contact anyone for the next month.
Don't contact Liu Zhen either. Yesterday, that Japanese guy Takano Ochi secretly met with two people. I received news that they seemed to have come from the south and got off the train at Taierzhuang.
I feel that the Japanese Special Higher Police have already intervened. It's normal. This time, we're going to encircle and suppress the guerrillas behind the enemy lines. There's no reason for the Special Higher Police not to intervene.”
As Liu Chuan spoke, he felt a little anxious. It was not a good thing for him to encircle and suppress the guerrillas behind the enemy lines and for the Special Higher Police to intervene. He had to lay low for this period of time.
Once the Special Higher Police found any clues, he would be in danger. Right now, he was like a acrobat walking on a tightrope. If he was not careful, he would be doomed.
"I understand. But this time, the Japanese are going to encircle and annihilate the guerrillas behind the enemy lines. What do you think they will do? How do you want us to cooperate?"
Xiang Menghe asked with a frown.
"Pfft, how else can we cooperate? The Japanese's encirclement and suppression is a mopping-up. You may not know this, but Eternal Turtle Shiro has already sent me a telegram.
This time, the 35th and 32nd divisions would join forces to conduct a large-scale sweep of the western region, clearing out the enemy's rear.
What our government needs to do is to transport food supplies and prepare for the reconstruction work after the war. Hmph, as far as I know, there are quite a number of troops participating in the mopping-up.
Zaozhuang's garrison regiment, Jinan's independent 4th regiment, and the Imperial Association Army's infantry regiments and divisions of various sizes were all participating in this sweep.
The Japanese army had about 50,000 soldiers, and the puppet army had about 120,000 soldiers, making a total of about 170,000 soldiers.
As for what they are going to do, I don't know for the time being, but I think the Japanese will probably start from Shangqiu and Jining.
However, the Japanese are going to wipe them out, so it's time for us to take action."
