In Nanping, there has long been a community of Japanese people. Recently, a piece of news came out that Ren Zhonglin, the governor of Longbei Province, had taken a fancy to a girl from the Japanese community and wanted to take her as his seventh concubine.
I don’t know whether the news is true or false, but it is obvious that there are suddenly more soldiers with live ammunition in the community recently, checking pedestrians and shops every day.
Odawara house in the community.
The unique sound of jade drums with Japanese charm is heard softly, and outside the round window, there is the sound of clear springs and stringed instruments. The rhythmic sound of dripping water seems to relax one's soul.
In the room, Gao Yuhu knelt on the tatami. He had been studying Japanese etiquette very carefully.
As for Commissioner Zhang, who was sitting cross-legged on the side with a big horse and a golden sword, Gao Yuhu felt a little contemptuous, thinking he was just a country bumpkin.
I am not looking down on the Japanese. The current Japanese sitting posture was passed down from Central China. It is the etiquette of our ancestors. Commissioner Zhang, your behavior is that of a barbarian.
Gao Yuhu is the commander of the security regiment of Nanping.
With the permission of Governor Ren, Gao Baoshan has a total of six fully-staffed regiments under his command, and four of them are now on the front line confronting Cheng Dasui.
There was also an infantry regiment guarding the western wing of Nanping Road.
There is also an armored regiment, which is in the process of reorganization.
The Nanping Garrison Regiment was not among the six fully-strength regiments, but it was the best-equipped armed force. Its structure exceeded that of any fully-strength regiment. It was a reinforced regiment with more than 6,000 people and was equipped with an artillery battalion.
The commander of the security regiment is naturally Gao Baoshan’s absolute confidant.
Gao Yuhu is Gao Baoshan's brother-in-law. When Gao Baoshan became successful, his wife's family provided great help, and Gao Yuhu was one of his most capable assistants. Now Gao Baoshan's eldest son Gao Mingxue is the deputy commander of the guard regiment.
It was obvious to the Nanping military and political group that Gao Baoshan thought his eldest son would inherit his family business in the future.
The Nanping Garrison Regiment is the place where his eldest son trains, and it is also the armed force that his eldest son needs to have absolute control over in the future.
Gao Yuhu, Gao Mingxue's uncle, is his current teacher and future assistant minister.
Gao Yuhu is in his forties and is now in the prime of his life. He has followed his brother-in-law in bloody battles since he was in his early twenties and has experienced countless bloody battles. The toughness in his body is completely different from that of street thugs. It was developed through the tempering of life and death and has an unspeakable cruelty.
And his efforts to learn Japanese etiquette and be a civilized person inevitably look a little ridiculous.
The day before yesterday, my brother-in-law Gao Baoshan gave me many instructions and warnings, saying that the seventh concubine of that bad old man Ren Zhonglin, a stunning Japanese beauty, had come to Nanping. She was originally on her way to the provincial capital, but for some reason this Japanese beauty became unhappy and stayed in Nanping and was unwilling to go any further.
This matter was of great importance, so his brother-in-law met him in person and instructed the guard regiment to send forces to ensure the safety of this Japanese lady and her entourage.
My brother-in-law feels that this farce must have happened because some of the Japanese people’s demands were not fulfilled by Governor Ren.
Gao Yuhu pondered over it and looked at Commissioner Zhang standing beside him.
This guy has only been here for a few days, but he's already joining in the fun everywhere. I can see him everywhere.
The name is also strange, how can there be a "specialist"? Now, I really became a specialist.
"General Hu, are today's side dishes not to your liking?" The gentle words from the other side made Gao Yuhu's heart tremble slightly.
Looking at the beautiful young woman opposite, who is gorgeous, gentle and graceful, every time I see her, my heart is filled with ripples.
Her gentleness seems to be able to wash away all the wounds brought on the battlefield. Every veteran who has experienced countless life-and-death battles probably dreams of finding eternal healing in such a gentle place, right
What a pity, she is the wife of the Japanese tycoon Asaba Nagamasa, and it is not something a rough guy like me could have even a single thought about.
"Madam, you are joking. For Yuhu, being able to taste the delicacies prepared by you personally is like tasting the nectar from the fairy palace." Gao Yuhu tried his best to speak more elegantly, not caring whether his words did not make his meaning clear or not.
Mrs. Qianyu chuckled, and her charming dimples made Gao Yuhu dazed again.
Qian Yu Fangzi glanced at Lu Ming and smiled: "Hu Shuai, Commissioner Zhang helped my husband a lot when he invested in Montenegro. I came to Nanping and knew he was here, so I asked him to meet him. Hu Shuai, don't you think I'm being abrupt? Commissioner Zhang is a very good person."
Gao Yuhu heard Qian Yufangzi's evaluation of Commissioner Zhang. When he turned his head to look at him, he felt that this guy was not as annoying as before. He smiled and said, "No, Mr. Commissioner and I are half colleagues. I have always wanted to get close to Mr. Commissioner."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "General Hu..." Seeing Gao Yuhu's unhappy expression, he changed the subject and said, "Commander Gao, I have a friend who is in the arms business and I want to get to know you."
It can be seen that Asaba Yoshiko is very skilled and has Gao Yuhu under her control. A tough and brave general has become a softie. Gao Yuhu regards Asaba Yoshiko as a goddess who is high above and cannot be desecrated. Even the title of "Tiger Marshal" is a little interest between the two of them in Gao Yuhu's heart. He would feel uncomfortable if he used it himself.
"Arms business?" Gao Yuhu was slightly stunned.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes! Many weapons are discarded by Westerners, but in Nanping, they are also good things."
Hearing that it was an obsolete weapon, Gao Yuhu immediately frowned.
"Don't worry, Commander Gao. As long as it's new and put on display, it can still scare people. Moreover, considering its real firepower, it can definitely be used in the Northern Territory Armed Forces!" Lu Ming said as he took out a small brocade box and pushed it in front of Gao Yuhu. "This is the tea from my hometown. It's very delicious. I'll give it to Commander Gao for a taste."
Gao Yuhu tapped on the brocade box with his fingers, and suddenly he hooked the small copper lock with his fingers. The brocade box slowly popped open. Gao Yuhu's eyes suddenly focused, and inside was a pile of small yellow croakers neatly arranged, about twenty or thirty of them.
"Captain Gao, to be honest, assistant ministers usually don't have a good ending. You should consider the future, right? I heard that your relationship with the brigade commander's new wife is not very harmonious. Ever since your sister passed away, you have been living a very lonely life..." Lu Ming said from the side.
Gao Yuhu's face suddenly changed, and he stared at Lu Ming coldly, "What did you say?!"
Asaba Yoshiko also frowned and said sternly, "Commissioner Zhang, if you say something like that again, you'll be fine!"
"Ah, I was wrong! Sorry!" Lu Ming bowed to Gao Yuhu, and then said to Qian Yu Fangzi: "Madam, I drank a few more glasses, please don't blame me."
Qian Yu Fangzi snorted coldly, and then said to Gao Yuhu: "Hu Shuai, this guy is talking nonsense, and he has a mean heart. Don't bother with him."
Seeing Madam Qianyu standing by his side with such harsh words, Gao Yuhu's vigilance and anger towards the visitor from Black Mountain subconsciously dissipated a lot, and he nodded: "I won't bother with him."
Asaba Yoshiko sighed softly again: "But you have always been poor, and you never accept the gifts I give you. But this is not a gift from me. In fact, from a business perspective, as long as the weapons you receive are not sold at a low price and high price, what's wrong with that? When we Yingzhou people do business, we must collect a deposit. You put all your thoughts on military affairs, and you haven't gotten married until now. I see it..." As she said this, she sighed softly.
Gao Yuhu remained silent.
Lu Ming took the brocade box and placed it next to Gao Yuhu's legs.
Of course, he said those words on purpose. In Gao Yuhu's eyes, Asaba Yoshiko's personality was perfect, so she would never say anything to sow discord between Gao Yuhu and Gao Baoshan, but asked others to say it.
I am one of the bad guys.
If yes, as long as you listen to it more often, it will always be effective. This is human nature.
"Commissioner Zhang, have you received any news about General Lu recently?" Asaba Yoshiko looked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Now I can only see General Lu in the newspapers."
Indeed, in recent newspapers, General Lu of Montenegro is in the limelight, making various tours to care for the people's livelihood and talking about reform on various occasions.
Liuli carefully selected a Qing'e to impersonate her, and she was able to hide the truth. Even during the military and political meeting, she did not reveal her true identity. Liuli was also very considerate to help her deal with simple matters.
His decisiveness surpassed that of himself.
Sometimes he thought jokingly that if Liuli didn't have a mysterious bond with him, with her cold-blooded and cunning nature, she might have assassinated him and become General Lu behind the scenes.
Of course, if we analyze it carefully, even if Liuli has evil ambitions, this possibility does not exist.
After all, my territory is so small. To replace me now is like giving up watermelon for sesame seeds. It is totally unnecessary.
What's more, when I think of how she looked so servile and submissive after being tortured by me, how could she dare to resist me
I was thinking about all sorts of things, and my heart suddenly felt hot. But then I heard Asaba Yoshiko chuckle and say, "General Hu, Officer Chen Rongfu is coming to visit Erika. I was thinking that even General Hu has never met Erika. How can I refuse him if he comes to see me?"
Gao Yuhu frowned immediately, "He's not going to see a fart..." He stopped abruptly, his old face slightly reddened, "Madam, it's better to decline politely, that guy is not a good person."
Lu Ming also said, "I heard that Officer Chen is a pervert, and Miss Erika is said to be a beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people. It's better to avoid suspicion. If this gets to Governor Ren's ears, what will happen?"
Gao Yuhu curled his lips secretly, thinking of this guy who spoke rudely and without any sense of propriety, but these words touched the heart of Gao Yuhu.
Asaba Yoshiko sighed softly, "I'll think of a way." Then she looked at Gao Yuhu, "General Tiger, you must not mention this to anyone, even to the Brigade Commander. It must be kept secret, otherwise, there will be a lot of rumors."
Gao Yuhu nodded: "I understand, Madam, don't worry."
