In a courtyard in Chan Da City.
As a property of the Yu Clan, this place was temporarily used as Yu Xiao Qing's regiment headquarters.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely heavy. All the soldiers went down to be on guard, leaving only Yu Xiaoqing and Tang Ji in the hall.
"Uncle Tang, why?"
Yu Xiao Qing's face was full of doubt as he looked at Tang Ji in disbelief.
From Tang Ji to the shelter, everything he did refreshed his impression of the past decades.
This time, not only did Yu Xiao Qing lose the Chuan Legion he had chosen, but he also lost a special agent battalion commander. It was really a double loss.
However, all of this was ultimately the fault of this middle-aged man in his forties.
"Xiao Qing, sit down first and listen to me slowly.”
Tang Ji's face was warm. He waved at Yu Xiaoqing and said,"Twenty years ago."
"Your father Yu Sheng and I are both guards under the commander-in-chief.”
"Your father is more capable than me. He was transferred to the frontline by the marshal as a platoon leader.”
"In July 1917, the Guardians Movement broke out. Your father's troops fought with the Northern Army.”
"At that time, your father was already a colonel and a regiment commander. He took the lead and died on the battlefield. At that time, you were only 11 years old.”
"The commander-in-chief took good care of the Yu family because of your father. Because of this, the Yu family was able to stabilize their position as a noble family in western Yunnan.”
"In a sense, the Yu Clan is a proper Southwest Yunnan army, loyal to the marshal.”
"It's a pity that the marshal died early. The Tang family only has one youngest son, Tang Jie.”
"Under the care of Long Yun and the others, Tang Jie grew up safely. A few years ago, he was admitted to the Royal Military Academy of Sunchester.”
Boom!
When these words fell into Yu Xiaoqing's ears, they set off a storm.
The Yu family was actually managed by Meng Tangjie's father, and Yu Xiaoqing's father was actually the guard of the Southwest King, Tang Jiyao.
Now, he finally knew where Tang Jie's words came from.
As a member of the Dian Army, Yu Xiaoqing enjoyed the glory, but he turned around and joined the national army, looking down on the Dian Army.
To put it nicely, he had forgotten his ancestors. To put it bluntly, he still had to curse after eating milk.
"The person the Tang clan has hidden the deepest is the youngest son of this marshal.”
At this moment, Tang Ji added something that made Yu Xiao Qing's pupils shrink.
"Tang Jie, born in 1919, is only 22 years old now.”
"But the expansion of the Tang family's industry began in 1930, when Tang Jie was 11 years old.”
"The marshal is a soldier, and he has two wives in his family. The eldest wife of the Tang family was born in the countryside and was the marshal's first wife. She died during childbirth when she gave birth to Tang Jie.”
"After the marshal died, the two concubines went their separate ways, but no one dared to touch the Tang family's gold and silver.”
"In 1930, Tang Jie, who was 11 years old, began to take charge of the family with the help of his butler, Tang Fu. He started various factories one after another.”
"At the same time, adopt orphans, build schools, roads, and nursing homes.”
"In a short ten years, the Tang family's businesses have spread throughout the entire southwest. The products produced by the factories are not only used for military supplies, but also sold to the north and south of the Yangtze River.”
"Some products have even started to be sold overseas.”
"The orphans adopted by the Tang family have grown up and are now enrolled in Huangpu Military School, Martial Academy, Capital University, and other universities. Tang Zhenzhong is one of them.”
"The Tang family hired a Germanic instructor, purchased 98K, a light machine gun, grenades, and Browning pistols, and trained armed guards.”
"Now, the Tang family has more than ten thousand guards, and their level of elite is no less than that of the tax police.”
What was that?
Hearing this.
Yu Xiao Qing's eyes widened.
The tax police corps was an irregular force that was used to suppress smuggling and levy taxes, but in fact, it was a powerful force that even the most elite Class A division of the national army could not compare to.
It was unbelievable that the Tang family's guards were as powerful as the tax police.
"Uncle Tang, how can this be allowed?”
Such a powerful civilian armed force was wandering in the southwest, but the military and political officials in the southwest were actually indifferent.
Tang Ji smiled and continued,"The Tang family controlled the three provinces in the southwest during the marshal's time.”
"Although the marshal has been fighting for many years and has been engaging in militarism, there has never been a war in the three provinces. The people still think of the marshal.”
"In the three southwestern provinces, the main higher-ups of the Dian, Chuan, and Qian armies are all students and old friends of the marshal.”
"Even if the marshal died, no one would dare to attack the Tang family.”
"Besides, Tang Jie has already distributed the Tang family's shares in the factories in various places and invited the military and political officials of the southwest to invest in them.”
"It can be said that these factories are already one of the common wealth of the southwest.”
Hearing this.
Yu Xiao Qing was speechless.
He would use his connections to protect the initial development and then bind everyone with benefits.
Just like that, the upper officials of the southwest and the common people at the bottom all became the Tang clan's amulets.
Just like what Tang Jie had said, as long as the Tang family was still around, the southwest would not be able to overturn the sky.
Facing such a huge mountain range, Yu Xiao Qing could not feel any anger other than a strong sense of powerlessness.
It wasn't that he couldn't, but he didn't dare to. A thousand Yu Clans added together couldn't even compare to one Tang Clan.
This was reality.
"Xiao Qing, the reason why I came to Chan Da was not just to stop you.”
"I have something more important to tell you.”
"What is it?"
Yu Xiao Qing looked at Tang Ji with a frown.
This was enough for him to refresh his knowledge.
"It's like this."
"It's not just the Chuan Legion," said Tang Ji with a solemn expression.”
"The 100,000-odd soldiers in Chan Da City have all been dealt with.”
"Those who should be sent to the factories should be sent to the factories. Those veterans and heavy drinkers have been sent to the mines.”
"In other words, if you want to form your own guild now, you won't be able to find anyone in Chan Da.”
Thud!
A leaky house came with a rainy night. There was actually not a single defeated soldier left.
When Yu Xiao Qing heard this news, he felt like the sky was falling.
Immediately after.
Tang Ji's words made him heave a sigh of relief.
"But you don't have to worry, I've already ordered people to bring Dayang to Zhaotong, Yongshan, Suijiang, Yanjin and other places to recruit soldiers.”
"In less than half a month, we will definitely be able to recruit a large number of young and strong mountain people.”
"Zhaotong is located at the junction of the three provinces. Surrounded by mountains, the terrain is extremely steep. It is very inconvenient for the locals to travel and their lives are difficult.”
"Moreover, the local mountain people are extremely brave. With a little training, they can become a strong army.”
"That's the only way."
Yu Xiao Qing said helplessly.
It would take a long time to train from a young man to an elite.
However, in a situation where Chan Da could not recruit any defeated soldiers, these young and strong mountain people were undoubtedly the best choice.
Not only that, in order to avoid Tang Jie's advance party, Yu Xiao Qing's regiment headquarters and base moved from Chan Da to Taiping Town, which was closer to the Nu River.
This choice brought many troubles to Yu Xiao Qing's troops in the future.
Pupiao Town was less than 15 kilometers away from the Nujiang River. The most suitable place to break through the entire west bank of the Nujiang River was opposite Taiping Town.
Later on, the Japanese built a large number of permanent fortifications there. Southern Heavenly Gate.
