Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 970 Killing Yu (2)

Tang Qiuli was determined to eliminate Yu Hanmou, the number one boss in Guangdong Province. Various arrangements for this operation were already being made intensively. Just waiting for the celebration banquet the day after tomorrow, a large net had been cast against Yu Hanmou.

{}

At this time, Yu Hanmou's mansion in downtown Guangzhou was full of distinguished guests, drinking and drinking. Everyone who had friendship with Yu Hanmou and could talk to him, as well as leading figures from all walks of life, were basically here. This was Yu Hanmou's request to call everyone together.

Just to discuss matters related to the celebration banquet the day after tomorrow.

Yi, it can be regarded as a preview of the celebration banquet. Of course, Yu Hanmou has his own plan. This very extravagant celebration banquet will definitely cost a lot of money. There are many famous big businessmen in Guangdong present. The name is Discuss, let these

It shouldn't be difficult for the meat-headed rich men to shed some blood, right?

Yu Hanmou's courage to return to Guangzhou this time was also the result of several careful thoughts. After receiving Tang Qiuli's order to move his troops to Luoding and the Qiantan area, Yu Hanmou's first reaction was that Tang Qiuli was in

Killing someone with a borrowed knife. One hundred thousand Japanese soldiers are rushing towards Guangzhou, but you let my troops go south. Aren't you going to die?

Withdrawing all the way from southwestern Guangdong, less than 200,000 troops were exhausted. Only these 780,000 people are left, which will be the capital to establish a foothold in Guangdong in the future. If they are all exhausted, you, Tang Qiuli, will

It's time to just pat my butt and leave. I, Yu Hanmou, am still hanging around in Guangdong. I can't compare with your Tang Qiuli's family wealth. These days, if you have a gun and someone has territory, preserving your strength is the top priority.

Therefore, Yu Hanmou not only failed to follow the order, but instead ordered the troops to shrink to Gaoliang, Lecheng, Sihui, and Lianyuan areas, and sent his trusted followers to the mountains around Nanling to find the final retreat. Once Tang Qiuli's troops could not withstand it,

After being beaten away by the Japanese attack, he temporarily hunkered down in the Nanling Mountains and looked for other ways out. Even cooperation with the Japanese was an option.

Yu Hanmou also knew what a crime it was to disobey military orders. He also knew that what he did was not very honest. There was resentment in the living room. You, Tang Qiu, have more than 100,000 troops. Do you have to ask me to send out a few troops? Yu Hanmou is here.

Deqing didn't have much confidence in his heart. After receiving the telegram from Tang Qiuli ordering him to return to Guangzhou, based on his many years of experience in officialdom, he instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.

Even more afraid to step into Guangzhou and stay in western Guangdong. Firstly, I feel that Tang Qiuli is in trouble and there will be no good fruits to eat when he goes back. He can't figure out his way out. Secondly, the Japanese and Tang Qiuli

The war hasn't started yet, and it's not clear who will win. It's best to wait and see what happens. Yu Hanmou doesn't want to use his little wealth to get involved in the war between Tang Qiuli and the Japanese. He can't afford to offend either side.

The days of waiting like this are also a kind of torture for Yu Hanmou. There is no end to the road, and he doesn't know whether it was God's blessing or the virtues of his Yu family's ancestors. Not only did the Japanese fail to reach Guangzhou, they also retreated towards Guangxi.

The direction was gone, and Yu Hanmou was happy because he didn't have to fight, lose troops, or lose territory. He was still the king of Guangdong.

Taking advantage of this excitement, Yu Hanmou began to think about returning to Guangzhou. It was his base camp, and it would not be a problem to leave all the time. That old ghost Chen Jitang still had many followers, so don't let Tang Qiuli take advantage of him.

A provincial government was established to seize the legitimacy of Guangdong. No matter how you say it, the Japanese withdrew their troops. This was a great victory. It was a fact that they sent their own troops. Seventy or eighty thousand troops were stationed on the front line.

The great victory in Guangzhou and the Japanese retreat. This is a grand reason. Taking advantage of the east wind of the great victory, while praising Tang Qiuli, he also pushed himself out. Moreover, this is also the best reason to return to Guangzhou. I, Yu Hanmou, give you Tang Qiu If Li is setting up trouble, you won't try to destroy it yourself, right? We just won a battle, Tang Qiuli won't deal with meritorious generals, right?

As for this inexplicable victory in Guangzhou, Yu Hanmou is a veteran in operating such things. Ordinary citizens have no idea what happened on the front line. They just know that the Japanese were repulsed and their lives and property were saved. This is It was enough. Through his chief think tank, Xiao Hanqian, secretary-general of the Guangdong Provincial Government, he published various reports on the Guangzhou victory in major newspapers in Guangzhou.

For a time, news and reports about the great victory in Guangzhou, in which the ** division troops fought hand in hand with the Guangdong army and annihilated tens of thousands of enemies under the wise command of Vice Chairman Tang and Chairman Yu, flew all over Guangzhou. In the streets and alleys, those who received Xiao Hanqian's instruction made their articles look like colorful flowers. When the momentum was almost done, Yu Hanmou returned to Guangzhou with a victor's attitude.

Yu Hanmou gave full play to the spirit of carrying out lies to the end. As soon as he returned to Guangzhou, he decided to push the Guangzhou victory to the extreme. He held a grand celebration banquet at the largest hotel in Guangzhou, Nanyue Hotel, and invited celebrities from all walks of life in Guangzhou to participate. This is also Yu Hanmou's excuse. This is a little trick to show those old forces who are still obsessed with Chen Jitang that Tang Qiuli, the second most powerful person in the National Government and the most powerful powerful figure in the Republic of China, stood together with me, Yu Hanmou, to join hands in creating the great victory in Guangzhou. Miracle.

The rhythm of things continues to develop according to Yu Hanmou's control, "Han Qian, are you almost ready for the celebration banquet? Are there any celebrities in the business community who are willing to donate to the victory in Guangzhou?" Yu Hanmou asked casually, Xiao Han Qian, who was thoughtful beside him, Xiao Hanqian was not as happy as others, but instead he was a little worried.

Hearing Yu Hanmou's question, Xiao Hanqian replied slowly: "Chairman, the preparations for the celebration banquet have been completed. Apart from the necessary expenses, this time we have collected a total of 150,000 yuan in military expenses." When Yu Hanmou heard this, he became energetic. He laughed loudly and said: "Han Gan, I really have you, you have done a great job in this matter, come and have a drink." After saying that, he raised his neck, drank a glass of wine, and let out a comfortable burp. Several close friends also raised their glasses.

Xiao Hanqian just took a sip of wine and said with concern: "Chairman, our military strength is too small around Guangzhou, with less than 8,000 people, and Tang Qiuli's army does have two brigades of more than 30,000 people. Besides, , the last time the Chairman refused to send troops, it is inevitable that Tang Qiuli had a grudge in his heart, and this person has always been known for his strength, so we have to be on guard. If something happens to the Chairman, we cannot afford the loss. Who will be in charge of the overall situation of Guangdong Province in the future?"

Yu Hanmou glanced at Xiao Hanqian with great admiration and said: "Han Qian was worried too much. He did not fight with the Japanese, so it did not involve the issue of whether to send troops or not. He Tang Qiuli dared to risk the disapproval of the world and fight in front of Guangdong Is the reputation of celebrities from all walks of life in the province not good for me? Do you still want to gain a foothold in Guangdong? When Chiang Kai-shek wanted to take advantage of me, he first became a corporal of courtesy and virtue and gave me enough benefits. It's okay, Han Gan, and took care of the celebration banquet. Pay more attention to Tang Dynasty. Just be more careful with Qiu Li's actions."

Yu Hanmou admired Xiao Hanqian's work very much. This was the point where he considered everything from multiple aspects. When he voted for Chiang Kai-shek to overthrow Chen, it would not have been possible without Xiao Hanqian's careful planning. This chief think tank has never let him down, relying on many aspects. , when leaving Guangzhou, he left Xiao Hanqian behind, so that he could send out troops with confidence. The banquet at Yu Hanmou's mansion lasted until late at night. After having had enough wine and food, the guests and hosts left happily.

The next day, Yu Hanmou couldn't be happier. He received a report from Xiao Hanqian that Tang Qiuli, in the name of the commander of the Guangzhou Garrison, transferred the three security brigades of the Provincial Guard Corps and the Provincial Security Department to the Baiyun Mountains for military exercises. Yu Hanmou's scalp exploded and he asked hurriedly: "Han Gan, is there anything else?"

"Chairman, in addition to the above-mentioned troops, the 8th Brigade Chen Han of the ** Division stationed in Guangzhou City and the 2nd Brigade Niu Shuang stationed on the outskirts of Guangzhou also headed to Baiyun Mountain to participate in military exercises with our troops," Xiao Hanqian He answered in a very calm tone.

Yu Hanmou breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Tang Qiuli was not targeting him. Otherwise, he would not have pulled the troops out of the city. In Guangzhou City, there was only such an armed force as his personal guard regiment, which was more than a thousand powerful. This man has protected him through life and death for many years and has never let him down. After thinking for a while, he said: "Han Qian, everything is business as usual. There is only a bodyguard group. Without my personal order, even the King of Heaven and I can't leave me." around."

As the troops left Guangzhou City one after another, the situation in the city seemed to be flustered for a while, and then returned to calm. The preparations for the celebration banquet were still proceeding step by step. Only there were some small changes in Yu Hanmou's mansion. His relatives The security regiment was transferred to the vicinity of the mansion and the security of the mansion was strengthened. None of this escaped the eyes of Shen Jun's investigation department agents. After reporting the situation to the division commander Tang Qiuli, he didn't say anything and just sneered.

On the evening of June 15th, the entrance to the Nanyue Hotel, the largest hotel in Guangzhou, was bustling with activity. Cars kept driving by, including neat suits, long robes and mandarin jackets, military and political dignitaries in neat military uniforms, and celebrities from all walks of life. , holding hands with the ladies dressed in jewels, they got out of the car and walked into the hotel door. Occasionally, ladies from various families attended the banquet with their parents, causing a commotion among the people.

Outside the hotel, there are three posts, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the security is tight. The rickshaw drivers who usually beg for a living in front of the hotel have long been driven away. As for the beggars, they were beaten with batons by the police. I don't know where to go. With such a vigilant posture, I can't get in without an invitation. It is said that on the black market, tonight's invitation has been sold for 200 yuan each. There is still a price but no market. The one with a little respect People don't have to think too hard and try their best to get an invitation so that they can get acquainted with some important people. Tang Qiuli's gold-lettered signboard alone costs more than two hundred dollars.
