Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 773

Chapter 773 This is a kiss!

The rich man who came was none other than someone else.

It was Tang Dao's future father-in-law, Tantai Yunshu.

Since he was separated from his daughter last time, the old man ran all the way with his old family who accompanied him. He arranged for three hundred advanced students to wait for Tang Dao to pick them up, and then took the train south without stopping for a moment.

After working hard in Jiangxia, I collected enough money and took the train again to Henan Province, where I then boarded a military train bound for Northern Jiangsu.

Thanks to Tantai Yunshu's wide network of friends, he can get a pass and get care wherever he goes based on his connections. Otherwise, he would not be able to board a train transporting soldiers and play this kind of game upstream just because he is a professor at Jinling University. .

He came to Xuzhou for only one purpose, to give money to Tang Dao!

Tantai Yunshu is a man of his word, and he will definitely pay Tang Dao if he promises.

The Tantai family is a large family, with nearly two hundred members. Except for a few dozen people who stayed in their hometown to take care of their ancestral property, the rest have evacuated. Basically, the whole family has moved south.

Two hundred people need to eat, drink, live, and regain a foothold in their place of residence. This kind of expense is of course huge. Even if the Tantai family was originally wealthy, it is no longer possible to spend hundreds of thousands of silver as before.

Tang Dao also knew this, but he obviously still didn't understand enough about his future father-in-law's affection for licking the calf.

In order to support his daughter, an old father-in-law went to great lengths and even sold some of his favorite paintings and antiques.

After a long journey, I rushed to Laotantai, the liaison office of the 67th Army in Xuzhou City. The first thing I said when I saw Tang Dao was: "I'm here to fulfill my promise. This is for you!"

　　The second sentence is: "I'm starving to death. You kid, hurry up and get me some food."

What the family members handed to Tang Dao was a suitcase he was carrying. Tang Dao didn't have time to feel the weight of the suitcase to judge what was inside, so he asked Master Zhuang to collect it on his behalf and hurried to the liaison office. kitchen.

Tang Dao is rarely used in the kitchen.

It's not that he can't, it's that he has no chance at all.

In his previous life, when he was in the army, he ate in the canteen, and on the battlefield, he ate fast food; in this life, when he was either on the battlefield or on the way to the battlefield, almost all his energy was focused on **** the Japanese. Find something to eat when you're in the mood.

But looking at the originally elegant and graceful Lao Tantai, who was covered in dust, with a tired face and many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, Tang Dao could definitely imagine how many miles this old man had traveled in the past month in order to fulfill his so-called promise. How much hardship I suffered.

Even if he were not Tantai Mingyue's father or future father-in-law, Tang Dao would still be grateful to the old man for treating him like this. He couldn't give him anything else. He must have Jiangnan scallion noodles that suit his taste.

There were no noodles during this period, and the noodles had to be rolled first. Fortunately, Tang Dao also had a chief of staff from Songjiang.

Even though Zhuang Shisan was once a local security battalion commander who basically made money as his mission, no one expected that this man also had the exquisiteness of Songhu people, not to mention his good hand at rolling and slicing noodles. It is also extremely fine, each one is about the same thickness. Just from the appearance, it is very good. Juebi is a good man living a good life.

“Damn it, Lao Zhuang, your sister-in-law must be very happy with this skill of yours!” Tang Dao was extremely surprised by the unusual ability displayed by his partner.

"Hehe! It makes everyone laugh. We Songjiang people can act like uncles when we are outside, but we will never act like bosses at home. It is obviously to set the backyard on fire! You may be better at cooking than me in the future." Master Zhuang laughed casually. road.

No wonder men in Songhu will buy groceries and cook in the future. This tradition is quite old. The key is to have a clear understanding of family status.

As for Zhuang Shisan teasing that he would marry a delicate Jiangnan woman in the future and eventually become a man who cooks for his wife, Tang Dao also laughed.

Recalling the poor environment he was in when he was in a coma, Tang Dao didn't smell any peculiar smell on his body when he woke up. This shows how meticulously Tantai Mingyue took care of him, and how much he could not repay his affection.

If the day comes to welcome peace, Tang Dao is willing to put down his sword and gun and build a small house with a yard in the countryside.

There are flowers and plants in the yard. Hammer will take his puppies and take on the responsibility of guarding the house again, while he and Tantai Mingyue are busy farming. In their free time, they make tea, read, spank the children, and cook for his wife and children. Cooking doesn't feel too good.

　　Perhaps no one would have thought that Captain Tang, who was ruthless and ruthless on the battlefield, would have his biggest dream in life to revolve around his wife and children.

In fact, the more you experience the cruelty of the battlefield, the more you know the value of peace and tranquility. Tang Dao, who has been a man for two generations, has experienced more battlefields than anyone here, and he longs for peace.

It's just that, as a little butterfly that came out of the sky, he knew better that all peace is achieved with fists, never with mercy.

Humble wanderer, even the watchdog can bark!

For Jiangnan's chopped green onion noodles, first cook the noodles, add a few drops of sesame oil, remove the noodle soup, then put the noodles into a bowl with seasonings, then sprinkle with chopped green onions, heat the sesame oil in the pot, and finally add Pour the hot oil over the chopped green onions and stir, and a steaming bowl of fresh and delicious chopped green onion noodles is ready.

The old man, who was already hungry and drinking tea, with green eyes, saw the taste of his hometown that he had not seen for a long time. Is there still a little bit of the reserve of a great painter or poet? After taking three bites and two bites at a time, I finished the entire bowl in less than thirty seconds.

Fortunately, Tang Dao knew that he must be very hungry, so he specially made two more bowls of noodles, for a total of five bowls of noodles. The old man only had three bowls of noodles, but his family, who had been his school boy since he was a child, only ate two. The bowl stopped on its own initiative. With tears in his eyes, he watched his master, who had never suffered much before, work hard to cook.

Looking at Tang Dao, a straight man like Tang Dao, his nose was slightly sour. He knew that this was not because he was embarrassed, but because Lao Tantai, who had no regard for his manners in front of him, had completely accepted him as the man who was snatching away his little cotton-padded jacket.

Being an old father is really not easy. Tang Dao didn't know if he would be so calm if he encountered something like this in the future.

Perhaps he will beat the thief first? This possibility is extremely high. As long as there are no accidents, Tang Dao can guarantee that his combat power will remain at its peak even if he is over fifty.

Obviously, that is just a random thought by someone who has never been a father.

When the time comes when he becomes a father, he will have no choice but to be just like the man in front of him.

“You're good at cooking, I feel very comfortable eating this noodle! Burp!” Lao Tantai burped with satisfaction and tilted Tang Dao who was sitting beside him. "Aren't you curious how much I paid you?"

“Hey, how can I not be curious? Why don't I open the box too directly if you are always in front of me? I'm afraid my eyes will glow with gold and scare you, right?” Tang Dao said with a smile.

"Hmph! You're so sweet and clever, why do I feel like you don't like it, are you afraid that opening it in front of me for just a few hundred yuan will embarrass both of you?" Tantai Yunshu snorted coldly, but the corners of his mouth were raised proudly. .

Taking a look at the arrogant old Tantai, Tang Dao couldn't help but feel a little more curious.

The suitcase is not that big, at most it is about the size of a small suitcase from the future. If it is completely filled with large yellow croakers, it is probably worth a lot of money.

But that is obviously unrealistic. How can two middle-aged people who are over 60 years old have the strength to carry it for two thousand miles? But if it wasn't a large yellow croaker, how much money could this suitcase hold? Even ten thousand oceans can't fit in it!

But even if it were ten thousand oceans, even though it was a lot, he would never let Lao Tantai, who had seen the world, show such a posture!

At Tang Dao's signal, Zhuang Shisan took the key handed over by his family and opened the small copper lock that locked the suitcase. He opened the zipper and a pile of colorful banknotes appeared in front of several people.

A beautiful knife!

Tang Dao's eyes suddenly opened wide.

As the most widely circulated currency in the future world, Tang Dao has of course seen the United States Dao countless times. Although the color of the United States Dao is slightly different at this time and in the future, the image of the character on the United States Dao has never changed.

The number displayed on the U.S. dollar is 10. If nothing else, a stack of 100 U.S. dollars worth 1,000 U.S. dollars. Even if you don't need to count them in detail, there are at least twenty piles here, which is worth more than 20,000 U.S. dollars.

At the current exchange rate, this is almost equivalent to nearly 100,000 silver dollars.

"Hey, to make it easier to carry, I went to all the major banks in Jiangxia and exchanged yellow croakers and oceans for hard currency like U.S. dollars. Don't look at it too much, but there are a total of twenty-four thousand U.S. dollars here! How about it, is it enough to pay? Did you give me the reward for those students going north?" Looking at Tang Dao and Master Zhuang looking at each other in shock, Tantai Yunshu said the number with some satisfaction.

The reward for giving away nearly 100,000 yuan at a time is almost astronomical anywhere. Let alone a mere 300 people, even 3,000 people are enough.

The moment Zhuang Shisan looked at Captain Tang Da, he felt nothing but envy.

Having a rich father-in-law is nothing, having a rich and generous father-in-law is the key!

　　'What, I'm jealous of a ball! Not only is I a handsome guy, but I can also make scallion noodles! ' Tang Dao glanced back at his chief of staff.

But obviously, the leader of Tang Da, who was striding forward, was even more excited than Zhuang Shisan. He held the hand of the proud Lao Tantai tightly and howled: "Dad, you are my biological father!"

Lao Tantai trembled!

Nearly slapped Tang Dao on Minato's shameless face.

In fact, it is easy for the old father to think about the not-so-good aspects.

What's going on? Is the raw rice cooked? This means that Lao Tantai is the one holding the paintbrush, but if he is replaced by a Baji master like Lao Han, no matter how good the Tang sword is, the cliff will be delivered with a dragon grip.

“Uncle, don't get me wrong, I just want to express my excitement! There are words unique to our hometown!”

The Tang Dao must be quick to respond. I instantly felt the murderous aura of a certain old man!

People from Sichuan Province expressed their dissatisfaction. I am not as wretched as your children.

"I'm so embarrassed. With the money you gave me, I can pay military salaries to the soldiers, and the families of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country can finally receive pensions." Tang Dao had tears in his eyes. .

"You are also the leader of the group, so you can't be so carried away and make people laugh! In addition, before you two are married, please don't shout!" Tantai Yunshu's face improved a lot, and he taught the future a lesson with a straight face. son in law.

"Yes, yes, uncle, you are right!" Tang's knife tip was like pounding garlic.

"Haha! Okay! Someone can be considered as subduing this bold monkey monkey, Lao Tantai, Lao Wu is really envious of you for giving birth to a beautiful daughter!" There was a burst of heroic laughter outside the door.

With laughter, Comrade Lao Wu entered from the door.

Looking at the bright smile on his face, it is obvious that this man is very happy about the Tang Dao being deflated.

"What? With Uncle Wu watching over you, what kind of tricks can this kid make?" Tantai Yunshu was very keen, but he heard that his old friend was connoting his future son-in-law.

"Hehe, your good son-in-law gave the 20th Army a show of strength as soon as he came to Xuzhou City. Good guy, he led a cavalry platoon with sabers and charged at dozens of guns! Do you think he is audacious?" Old Wu The comrade smiled and put eye drops on Tang Dao.

"Oh? There is such a thing. What's the cause and effect?" Lao Tantai's face became solemn, but he continued to ask.

Comrade Lao Wu impartially told his old friend the cause and effect.

For this army commander, telling Tang Dao that it was "black" was actually just hoping that Tang Dao would be restrained a little bit.

But he knew that when he told Tang Dao this, Tang Dao would probably go in with the left ear and out with the right ear. Everyone has their own moral standards and persistence. Tang Dao's characteristic of not fearing power is very popular with him, but he can't help but feel a little worried.

There are a lot of injustices in this world. Today we may be a **** like the 20th Army, but what if we are a group army-level general in the future?

Lao Tantai's identity is a bit subtle, especially for Tang Dao. He is a complete elder. No matter what, Tang Dao has to bite the bullet and listen to the teachings.

"Okay! Tang Dao, what you did has won my heart. It's not in vain that I traveled thousands of miles to send you military supplies!" Tantai Yunshu roared with all his strength. "As a soldier, you should resist bandits from outside and eradicate evil from within! You should do the same thing next time you encounter something like this!"

Comrade Lao Wu

Did I say something wrong? I always feel like the clown is actually me!

With the twenty-four thousand U.S. dollars that Lao Tantai sent him in time, Tang Dao finally became wealthy again.

This time Tang Dao was not stingy at all, and gave each of the two commanders of the 67th Army and the 59th Army two thousand dollars.

Of course the two army commanders couldn't ask for money from their younger brother, but Tang Dao's words forced them to accept it.

"Two officers and elder brothers, although Tang Dao is brave on the battlefield, he is still young after all. Many people have not yet become mature and smooth. He has offended many powerful people intentionally or unintentionally. Although Tang Dao has never regretted it, many constraints have also made Tang Dao very annoyed. .

Tang Dao wanted to be an extremely pure soldier, but Tang Dao also knew that there were many difficulties in such a world and system. Fortunately, Tang Dao got to know the two of you and commander Guo, who were like brothers, and they were able to ignore Tang Dao's recklessness. And because of the darkness on Tang Dao's back that Tang Dao couldn't resist, Tang Dao regarded it as a blessing to be in this world.

Tang Dao had no way to repay him, so he could only borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha and transfer the funds to the military headquarters of his two brothers. Because I know that both my brothers are honest officials and don't have much personal savings. However, at this time of the war, the soldiers need rewards. Even if the soldiers have the desire to serve the country, they don't need to be encouraged, but those soldiers who died for the country did not pop out of stones. , they have parents, wives and children to support behind them. Two thousand US dollars is equivalent to eight thousand silver oceans, which is only enough to provide compensation for more than a hundred soldiers who died. Please accept it! "It was extremely rare for Tang Dao to reveal his true feelings in front of two military commanders who were more than twice his age.

This is also what Tang Dao is thinking.

Despite his bravery and wisdom, he created miracles on the battlefield time and time again. The number of Japanese soldiers who died under his command was at least thousands. However, without the full support of Guo and Wu, the troops he led could not achieve anything. With more than a hundred soldiers, no matter how much he Tang Dao has three heads and six arms, he can only do nothing in the face of the rolling torrent of tens of thousands of Japanese troops!

The ones who really led those victories were actually two commanders who dared to trust completely, which required sufficient wisdom and a spirit of resistance. Even if Tang Dao knew that they had gone through this in the long river of history, when he came into close contact with them, Tang Dao understood even more how rare these commanders who had left their names in the great Anti-Japanese War were.

They may all have some shadows of the old warlords and the old army, and they firmly defend their own power camp, but they all have a patriotic heart. When faced with the Japanese invaders who invaded the country, they have no hesitation in putting aside their persistence and marching forward bravely.

This point is infinitely better than that of some people.

And what Tang Dao said about the darkness behind the few people who fought for him is even more true. Without the cover of the commanders of the 43rd Army, 67th Army, and even the 59th Army who later joined, it would have been easy to show off the carriages and horses in Xuzhou City. In the scene played by the 20th Army, Tang Dao could guarantee that the narrow-minded general named Tang would be waiting for his Four Elements Regiment somewhere during his march.

After all, he was ordered to march north, and his marching trajectory could not escape the sight of the man whose hands and eyes could reach the sky.

"Okay! Since you said so, brother, then the elder brother will accept it!" Seeing that Tang Dao had said so, Commander Zhang no longer refused.

From the perspective of this chivalrous military commander, since they are brothers, they should not be too external.

What's more, Tang Dao also has a father-in-law who can sell paintings for money!

Comrade Lao Wu was also very pleased at this moment. He helped Tang Dao because Tang Dao could kill enemies, but he never thought about getting rewards from Tang Dao. He didn't expect Tang Dao to be so thoughtful.

Already treated Tang Dao as kindly as a nephew, but he became even closer.

And Tantai Yunshu watched Tang Dao easily give away the funds he had worked hard to raise by selling off part of his family's property and sent it all the way. However, he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he stroked his long beard with great satisfaction. .

Tang Dao needs to be talented and handsome, and he should be a good match for his little cotton-padded jacket, but only sometimes! Occasionally, some shocking and novel words came out, which made Lao Tantai, who had always been traditional and conservative, a little unhappy.

It's not that those words mean anything, it's that you are already the commander of a regiment, and you are still so unstable. How can you become a general in the future?

But what Tang Dao said just now, and the gifts he gave were all reasonable and affectionate, showed that Tang Dao actually had a maturity beyond his years, and Lao Tantai was naturally more relieved.

Money is nothing, it's not enough, I'll sell more paintings! The old father who felt happy was now slightly swollen.

Collecting in the golden age of troubled times, paintings were not so easy to sell at this time.

Tang Dao had 20,000 U.S. dollars in his hands, which completely made up for the regiment's deficit at this time, not to mention a lot of rich funds. However, the U.S. dollars at this time were hard currency but not circulating currency. Finding a suitable Merchants can exchange it, but when ordinary people take it out, small merchants and hawkers don't recognize it. If it is given to officers and soldiers and sent back to their hometowns, they will either be cheated by unscrupulous merchants or they will not use it.

Through the munitions officer at the 67th Army Liaison Office, I asked about the current exchange rate of U.S. dollars to oceans in banks. The official exchange rate was only 1:3. However, Tang Dao remembered that the exchange ratio should be close to 4 at this time. There was a difference of 20,000 oceans. , thought about it, and asked Lu Sanjiang to go find Laima Literature.

As soon as Ma Wenxue heard that the military funds of the Fourth Army were to be redeemed to pay rewards and subsidies to the disabled and sacrificed soldiers, he immediately agreed and exchanged them at the highest ratio of 1:4 on the current black market.

Before the war, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the ocean was about 1:2.5. After half a year of the war, China's domestic prices began to soar, and the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the ocean was also rising. On the black market, the exchange rate was close to 1:4. Ma Wenxue Being able to exchange according to this ratio will definitely earn enough favorability in Tang Dao's heart.

Ma's Trading Company has enough foundation. After receiving the amount of U.S. knives that Tang Dao needed to exchange, it took half a day to collect 80,000 silver dollars to deliver to Tang Dao.

After Tang Dao received Dayang, he immediately decided to set off and return to the Sixings Regiment's base. The two commanders were also decisive people. Knowing that the war would start in a few days, they did not stay. They each took their guards to **** Tang Dao and his party out of the city. .

The farewell between soldiers is very simple, just give each other military salutes! Take care of your words, turn around and go!

Even if no one knows whether we can see each other again!

There are some things that you know without having to say them.

"Two officers, take care, brother! See you tomorrow, I'll treat you two to a drink!" After Tang Dao finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and left.

Lao Tantai got into a carriage specially provided for him and waved goodbye to the two people standing at the city gate.

The carriage was cushioned with soft bedding, and there was even a ceramic hand stove for heating. These were all arranged by Tang Dao. Lao Tantai could enjoy them with peace of mind. He had been running around for more than a month. , but it can't stand any more bumps.

I'm going to see my little cotton jacket immediately. Yuntai Yunshu's heart is much more urgent than Tang Dao.

Twenty riders accompanied the long camel team and convoy, raising dust and gradually moving away from the city.

“I feel sad for no reason? Am I getting old?” Looking at Tang Dao's retreating back, Comrade Lao Wu suddenly sighed.

"Haha! Brother Jingshan, you are so deeply in love that you are so concerned!" Commander Zhang laughed boldly, raised the riding crop in his hand and pointed into the distance. "Didn't you listen to what Brother Tang Dao said? I'll treat you and I to a drink when we meet again one day. We won't be able to defeat him in drinking, but we will definitely kill more Japanese than him. Who makes us have more men than him!"

"Brother Xin Chen is right. Let's get together again and see who kills more enemies. If he kills the less, let's count him as one hundred people and one cup of wine!" Comrade Lao Wu was also very happy.

Obviously, the two of them were too optimistic.

Not to mention the size of the four regiments that arrived in the north, the number of Japanese troops that were broken into pieces and killed piecemeal behind enemy lines was a number that made the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters dizzy and regarded them as a serious concern.
