Even his subordinates had never seen Qin Ce's slightly flattering smile.
His men's eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.
Bai Zhi glanced at his hand, but didn't extend it. She just nodded and said, "Hello."
Some people are like this, even if she doesn't reach out to you, you won't think she's rude, you will just think -
I don't deserve it!
Ye Baizhi is obviously such a person.
She just nodded and said "hello", which was enough to make people feel that she valued herself very much.
So Qin Ce withdrew his hand embarrassedly and continued to laugh: "Marshal Ye, are those new weapons? And that cannon, why are they different from what I've seen?"
His voice was tentative, but in fact, it was just a casual question.
After all, the world is a warlord melee. Today's partners could be enemies tomorrow. If someone truly has access to powerful weapons, how could they possibly tell anyone?
However, Bai Zhi replied: "We produced it ourselves."
Qin Ce: “???”
The Qin army officers behind him: "???"
Produced by myself?!
She actually didn't buy it from those foreign devils?! Could she actually produce weapons that are even more powerful than those foreign devils'?!
Qin Ce was excited: "Marshal Ye! If we can master these weapons, our Republic of China Army will be very powerful in the future. We can drive out the Japanese pirates and maybe even continue to fight outside! Yes..."
Bai Zhi looked at him and frowned slightly.
Qin Ce's voice stopped abruptly and he looked at her blankly.
Why are you unhappy?
Bai Zhi: "Qin Shuai, please be peaceful. Why keep fighting?"
Qin Ce: “…”
He couldn't help but glance at the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground behind Bai Zhi, and thought of the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers who were killed in the explosion...
Peace? ? ?
Bai Zhi didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what she said. She waved at Zhou De.
When the man came over, she said, "Take someone to clean up the place, gather up the treasures and silver coins, and hand them over to the finance department to record them in the accounts. Have them organize them into a book, and then continue building the factory and arranging arrangements for the refugees."
"Yes! Marshal Ye!"
"Chen Jianye, take your men and burn these things on the ground. Collect the weapons and the ones that were surrendered earlier."
These things on the ground...
thing……
So she didn't treat the Japanese pirates as human beings?
"Yes! Marshal Ye!"
"Liu Li, go and bring the other Ye troops over. We'll train here from now on."
"Yes! Marshal Ye!"
"Li Fuyu, take people to move our things from the cannery to Marshal Ye's residence. We will be working here from now on."
"Yes! Marshal Ye!"
They responded loudly and then hurried into action.
So, Qin Ce saw with his own eyes that they quickly cleaned up the ground and pulled Ye Jun over to train in the training ground at the back.
The signboard of the Japanese headquarters has been taken down, and the signboard of Marshal Ye's residence is still being customized and has not been hung up.
A large number of staff and guards also moved here.
A Japanese base was transformed into Marshal Ye's residence in the blink of an eye.
The Japanese troops stationed here were completely wiped out, and the countless treasures they looted changed hands. She didn't even care about the hatred of Japan and just lived in their original place.
Qin Ce had seen countless vicious people, as well as countless ruthless and domineering people, but no one had ever given him this feeling.
With her understatement, it seemed as if she could decide life and death and overthrow an entire dynasty.
Now, his subordinates also feel so.
So, he heard his adjutants say in hushed voices—
"This Marshal Ye clearly looks like a refined man, wears glasses, and speaks politely, but why... does he feel so creepy?"
"So… do we still need to change weapons? Will she change them for me?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ce subconsciously looked up at Ye Baizhi, who was standing in front of him in a black military uniform. She had a slender back and looked petite among the men, but at this moment, he felt that she was unusually tall.
At this moment, the other party turned around and said, "Marshal Qin, they have cleaned up. Let's go to Marshal Ye's residence to discuss business matters."
Qin Ce: "...Okay."
Qin Ce's shock was also the shock of people from other countries in the Beidu Leased Territory.
They all knew that the Japanese were going to attack Ye Baizhi. Of course, they even joined in and wanted to deal with this woman who dared to disrespect them!
But before they could make a move, she showed up.
At that time, many people from Country F and Country Y went there with weapons.
But when they got closer and saw the situation on the battlefield, they shrank back silently, their eyes wide open, looking at the battlefield in disbelief.
Then……
They saw that the Japanese pirates were wiped out.
The Japanese base even turned into Marshal Ye's residence. Marshal Ye's people had a wider range of activities in the northern capital and did not shy away from foreigners like them.
It's completely different from before.
"Lawless! Too outrageous!"
"Yes, she is breaking the agreement and disrespecting our empire."
"We must teach her a lesson, otherwise, won't she be the only one in charge of Beidu in the future?"
"Beidu is not a place where she can make the decision!"
"Hey, are you going to fight her? Have you seen her weapons? We don't have that kind of gun in our country. Do you think we can beat her now?" Someone suddenly spoke up.
The hall was silent for a moment.
"Our country doesn't have the kind of guns she has, but we have other guns and cannons. Besides, she has too few subordinates, and they are just a motley crowd. As long as we have more people, we don't need to be afraid of her at all!" Some people also said this.
The discussion in the hall started again.
After a while, the person sitting at the top finally spoke -
"We need to avoid their attack now, but the Japanese will definitely not give up. They are determined to seize this territory and will definitely send more people here. Our country can provide them with some weapons, and at the same time, with internal and external support, this woman named Ye Baizhi will not be a threat."
He was obviously a person who had lived in the Republic of China for a long time. He spoke some Republican dialects very fluently and could even quote from classics.
He had a high status, so after he finished speaking, everyone else nodded in agreement.
So, they decided on a strategy and stayed quiet for a while.
It can be predicted that in the next period of time, Ye Baizhi will rule the northern capital.
Exchanging food and meat for weapons is a very profitable deal for the central province.
Ye Baizhi was also very generous and gave a very fair exchange ratio.
The two parties hit it off immediately and cooperation was very easy to discuss.
Ye Jun's men ordered food and meat, and Qin Jun's men ordered guns and bullets, and the deal was over.
But Qin Ce and others stayed for a few more days.
They observed Ye Jun and found out——
Nothing can be observed.
Ye Jun’s training has their own set of rules. Not everyone follows the same training method. They are divided into troops, and the number of people in each unit is not equal. Some are large, and some are very small.
In particular, there was a small team that was taken to the mountains every day, and no one knew what they were training for.
And they keep their mouths shut and don't say anything.
With enough talent, schools and hospitals were reopened soon.
Especially that school, which made many people in Qin Jun want to send their children to study there.
Unfortunately, there are conditions for entering the school at this stage.
Apart from this, what the Qin army was most curious about were the three newly built large factories. Unfortunately, the defenses were too strict and they could not find out at all.
The workers inside eat and live well and are reluctant to come out. Those who come out know nothing when asked.
But one thing still caught their attention -
Ye Jun changed his weapons again.
Some people were practicing with the weapon called "□□" before, but the gun in the patrolling Ye Jun's hand was changed to a very small silver-white gun.
Such a small gun can fire more bullets at a time.
and……
The distance is also farther!
The Qin army was simply amazed and couldn't wait to look at the guns every day.
As a result, a strange sight has appeared on the training ground recently.
Ye Jun's men were training inside, while Qin Jun's men were squatting in a row outside the training ground, holding onto the railings and watching.
in.
"Bang bang bang——" Ye Jun practiced shooting.
Outside.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss—" Qin Jun cried out in pain.
That's a bullet!
Just use it for practice!!
Such a waste!
in.
The target was pulled over, and Liu Li shouted—
“Fail!”
Outside.
"Hiss——" This time it was a sound of shock.
This gun can actually shoot this far! And it even penetrated!
Ye Jun's weapons are truly enviable and hateful! !
"Cough cough." Qin Ce coughed.
He also felt that his soldiers were a bit shameful, but he understood it very well because he felt the same way.
This Ye Jun's weapons are too luxurious and too extravagant!
"Qin Shuai, is your throat uncomfortable?" Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow.
Qin Ce swallowed his saliva: "Maybe I have a cold, hehe."
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Marshal Ye, you show us so openly every day, aren't you afraid of leaking secrets?"
"Don't be afraid, because I haven't shown you the secret." Bai Zhi replied calmly.
Qin Ce: "..." You are too honest!
If these aren't secrets, then what other secrets does Ye Jun have?!
Are those three factories?!
Finally, Qin Ce said, "Marshal Ye, we have been here for a few days. There are still many things to do in the Central Province. It is time for us to go back. We will be ready to leave early tomorrow morning."
Bai Zhi: "Oh."
Qin Ce: “…”
Behind him, the adjutant poked him frantically.
Qin Ce stirred, wailing in his heart. Marshal Ye didn't respond, so what could he say?!
"Cough cough." The deputy general began to cough.
"Cough cough." Other officers also coughed to remind.
Bai Zhi glanced at them meaningfully: "It seems that Qin Shuai's men have also caught a cold..."
Qin Ce: “…”
He took a deep breath and asked loudly, "Marshal Ye! Can you give us some of the guns, artillery, and bullets?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the officers behind Qin Ce all looked at Bai Zhi with eager eyes.
Bai Zhi: "Sure. Seeds, grains, meat, vegetables, canned food, everything."
“!!!”
She actually sold it!!
Such a good weapon, she was actually willing to sell it to them?!
In fact, they asked for it only because they couldn't help but want it, but they never expected that Ye Baizhi was actually willing to sell it!
This is a better weapon!
The officers behind Qin Ce rubbed their hands excitedly, wishing they could agree on Qin Ce's behalf.
"Okay, okay, whatever you want is fine!" Qin Ce was also excited.
After a while, he couldn't help but ask again, "Such a good weapon, Marshal Ye is willing to sell it to us? Aren't you afraid that we will use it to fight against Ye's army?"
Behind him, the Qin army officers could hardly believe their ears.
Their leader actually asked this?!
Aren’t you afraid that the other party won’t sell it to you?!
His men immediately responded, "Marshal Qin, Marshal Ye and his men still have bulletproof vests and helmets. Even if we get weapons, we won't harm Marshal Ye's men. Even if we want to, we can't do it!"
The smile is flattering and ingratiating.
Bai Zhi glanced at them lightly, took off her glasses, wiped them, put them back on, and looked at them: "I said, I didn't show you Ye Jun's secret."
Qin Jun: "..."
What secrets is she hiding?
Doesn't bulletproof vests and helmets count?
Early the next morning, the Qin army set out.
Bai Zhi's four lieutenant generals sent them off. Marshal Ye seemed to be busy and had not been seen since early morning.
However, Qin Ce was not angry. He even smiled and said, "Marshal Ye is a good man. We can rest assured that Northern Province is in Marshal Ye's hands. We are neighbors and can continue to cooperate in the future. Marshal Ye can just send us a message if he wants anything. I have sent people back to prepare a new batch of food and will deliver it to Marshal Ye in batches."
"Okay, okay." Zhou De also smiled.
After robbing the Japanese garrison and selling a batch of weapons, they were able to feed even more refugees in the northern province.
How many days has it been?
Northern Province is completely different now!
I don’t know how many people moved to the Northern Province, and I don’t know how many people wanted to move to the Northern Capital. Those who had once suffered because of the war now had smiles on their faces again.
All of Marshal Ye's workers had rosy complexions.
Ye Jun's mental outlook was better than ever before.
Qin Ce and others set out on the journey back to Zhong Province.
On the way, the adjutant couldn't help but ask, "Qin Shuai, why didn't Jiang Cheng keep a woman like Ye Shuai? How blind must he be to force Ye Shuai away and marry Wang Gou's daughter?"
"Because he's stupid." Qin Ce replied.
"Hey, General Qin, what do you think... why don't you pursue Marshal Ye? We in the Qin Army now admire Marshal Ye. He has so many powerful weapons and is such a decisive person..." The adjutant fell into fantasy.
Qin Ce looked at him coldly: "Do you dare to pursue her?"
Adjutant: "...I'm not worthy."
Qin Ce: "Then do you think I am worthy?"
Adjutant: “…” is not quite worthy.
Ye Baizhi is a very pretty woman, very elegant and graceful. She even wears glasses. If you only look at her profile, you would think she is a well-mannered girl.
However, whenever the other person's eyes look at you——
You don't deserve it.
"So what's the point of talking nonsense? Let's go back and show them the weapons!" Qin Ce waved his hand.
"Okay!"
At this moment, Yang Province.
Jiang Cheng personally went to Yang Province to marry Wang Shuai's daughter Wang Jiao. He was wearing a military uniform with a smile on his face, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
Wang Jiao's face was full of shyness.
Her father is a marshal, and she is going to marry him.
As for Marshal Ye of Northern Province...
This woman is like a thorn. Once people around her mention her, her face immediately becomes gloomy and extremely ugly.
If Ye Baizhi was still in Southern Province, she wouldn't care. She was a woman who had studied abroad. She was different from others. To be honest, she actually looked down on the ladies from wealthy families in the Republic of China.
So Ye Baizhi didn't care if she relied on Jiangcheng to survive in Nan Province.
But that woman actually ran to the Northern Province and even created the title of Marshal Ye of the Northern Province...
Although they all knew that there was a lot of water in this, and it was just Qin Ce's way of covering up his weak reputation, this reputation still made her unhappy.
Jiang Cheng came to pick up the bride and brought several thousand soldiers from the Southern Province.
These soldiers are not only there to pick up the bride, they also have another purpose.
--fight.
"Qin Ce is very smart and resourceful, but unfortunately we still saw through him!" Wang Shuai was a little proud.
Yes, General Wang is ready to take action against the Qin army.
This is an example of the legendary "kill you while you're sick."
Now the Qin army has been severely damaged, and even needs to push the credit of killing the Japanese pirates onto others.
If they attack the Qin army at this time, Yang Province will definitely take advantage of Zhong Province and even take away most of their territory!
Wang Shuai is now very ambitious, and is even planning to take advantage of Jiangcheng's soldiers welcoming the bride to take action, so that he can get more help!
Jiang Cheng didn't say anything and was distracted.
Wang Shuai frowned slightly: "Jiang Shuai? What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Cheng came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's okay."
He just thought that none of the people sent to the Northern Province to kill Ye Baizhi came back.
This time there were more pursuers than last time, but still no one came back. For some reason, Jiang Cheng felt a strange panic in his heart, as if something big was about to happen.
But after thinking about it, I felt that everything was foolproof, and maybe I was overthinking it.
"Then I will set off early tomorrow morning and catch them off guard!" Wang Shuai said excitedly.
So, when Qin Ce just came back from Northern Province, he ran into Wang Shuai and his men attacking him.
Qin Ce: “???”
His men stood up angrily, "General Qin! Let's go and meet the enemy immediately!"
Qin Ce blinked his eyes. "Is Wang Gou crazy? He can't even beat us normally, and now we've come back with new weapons, and he wants to attack us?"
This isn't the way to commit suicide, is it?
However, it turned out that the other party did call.
Qin Ce: “…”
He stood up and smiled sinisterly, "Brothers, grab your weapons! Show Wang Gou the power of the new weapons we got from Marshal Ye!"
"rush!!"
So, when General Wang from Yang Province led his men to attack, a row of Qin soldiers holding □□ shot at them from the opposite side.
In addition to the □□, there is also a cannon, a more ferocious cannon.
And the silver-white pistols they held in their hands had a longer range and more bullets.
Wang Shuai's pupils shrank and his face was full of disbelief.
At the first encounter, Wang's army was immediately defeated, and many people were so scared that they ran away.
"Back off! Back off!" Wang Shuai shouted.
However, the artillery from the opposite side had already fired.
"boom--"
The Qin army in Zhong Province and the Wang army in Yang Province fought each other. General Wang's army was defeated and he was carried back to Yang Province seriously injured.
General Qin did not pursue the victory, which gave them a chance to survive.
But now, the one who was severely hit was Wang Jun, and it was well known that he was severely hit.
"Jiang Cheng, please help my dad. He is in a very bad situation now. Please save him!" Wang Jiao grabbed Jiang Cheng's hand and begged.
Jiang Cheng's face looked very ugly.
This time Wang Shuai was severely injured. He allocated thousands of people to him. Isn't there any loss?!
How many of those talents returned? About a thousand?
Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth.
Because of the burning Marshal Ye's Mansion and the words floating in the sky that night, many people in Southern Province disobeyed him. This time he brought all his die-hard fans with him, but such a big accident happened!
If the Southern Province was completely under his control, he would definitely kill Wang Shuai immediately and occupy the territory of Yang Province.
But he still hadn't taken control of the Southern Province yet, and he had suffered losses this time. He didn't know how many accidents would happen within the Southern Province...
Now Yang Province is like meat on someone else's chopping board. Not only can he not eat Yang Province, it is dangerous even for him to stay here!
Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers died, but the Qin army was not seriously injured and even had new weapons...
So what happened in the North?
What happened in Northern Province?
What on earth is going on with Ye Baizhi? !
While Jiang Cheng was confused, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind -
[Jiangcheng, usurping the throne and seizing power, will avenge his father's murder. Ye]
He suddenly felt cold all over.
"Let's go!" Jiang Cheng shook off Wang Jiao's hand and took his men away from Yang Province without mercy.
Wang Jiao, who was thrown to the ground, looked at Jiang Cheng's back in disbelief as he turned his head away. Her body trembled slightly and her eyes gradually became moist.
While the Central Province was shocking everyone and Yang Province was becoming a piece of meat on the chopping board, the Northern Province was still gathering population and carrying out infrastructure construction and production.
There is no tax on land in the northern province, and you can even buy seeds from Marshal Ye's residence at a very low price.
While other places were in chaos, the Northern Province was unusually peaceful and calm.
There were many people who were curious about the Central Province and the Northern Province, but Qin Shuai had just beaten Wang Shuai, so no one dared to touch him for the time being.
Therefore, someone sent people to the Northern Province to investigate.
For example...
The double-dealing Feng Kunjun of Liao Province.
He sent people to invite Marshal Ye to meet, but when their people entered Marshal Ye's residence, not only were they not treated with courtesy, they didn't even see Marshal Ye!
"Attend the banquet? No, our Marshal Ye is busy." Zhou De refused mercilessly.
Feng Kunjun's adjutant wanted to say something, but the staff officer next to him pulled him.
After they left, the adjutant frowned and said, "How lawless! Marshal Ye from a small Northern Province actually dared not give face to Marshal Feng?! Does she think she has a lot of people? Does she think she can defeat Liao Province?!"
The staff officer lowered his voice and said, "Adjutant, I just saw the weapon on his waist. It's exactly the same weapon that Qin Shuai used to defeat Wang Shuai. It's silver-white and very small!"
"What?!" The adjutant's face changed.
"We must go back and report to Marshal Feng immediately," said the staff officer.
So, Feng Kun's army came and left in a hurry.
Feng Kunjun of Liao Province would never want to see a warlord rising up next door, let alone a newly rising warlord with an unknown origin and unknown depth!
Logically speaking, the best way is for Feng Kunjun to defeat Ye Jun.
After all, how many people does Ye Baizhi have now? They are not to be feared at all, but if they also have powerful weapons in their hands, Feng Kunjun will have to think twice.
Of course, he didn't think that he couldn't defeat them just because they had weapons. He was just wondering whether it was cost-effective.
The Northern Province has always been a dangerous area. What is the purpose of fighting a war?
Want the territory of Northern Province?
What if the Japanese army attacks again?
Not worth it, very not worth it.
Feng Kunjun didn't want to fight, and the others who were far away didn't want to fight either.
However, spies were continuously sent into the Northern Province, hoping to find out the specific situation in the Northern Province.
Unfortunately, almost all the news from the spies was like this:
"Workers in the Northern Province receive three silver dollars a month, with food and lodging provided!"
"Northern Province soldiers receive five silver dollars a month, their children can go to school for free, their families can arrange for work, disability allowance is 300 silver dollars, and they will all be arranged for work in the future. Death in action allowance for their families is 600 silver dollars!"
"Everyone was allocated land under the household contract responsibility system. There was no tax, and we even lent them seeds, which we paid back after the harvest."
"There are too many refugees. The Northern Province is recruiting workers to start road construction. They are also three silver dollars a month, and they provide food and accommodation!"
"Northern Province..."
…
More and more information is coming out.
The warlords from other provinces listened: "..." Is this woman crazy???
Ordinary people from other provinces listened: “…” Damn, I want to go to the Northern Province!
"Zhou Shuai, Ye Baizhi has been causing so much trouble that many farmers in our province have fled to the northern provinces with their belongings on their backs!"
"Yes, if this continues, where will we get food in the future?"
"This Ye Baizhi is just a woman with a soft heart and soft hands!"
"She's supporting so many people for free, and she's not afraid of being exploited. Where does she get the money?"
"She came from Southern Province. How could Jiangcheng let her take away so much money? Besides, Ye Chengjun isn't that rich."
…
Zhou Shuai said calmly, "Be generous if you want to. If they leave now, they will come back later. If she does this, she will only accelerate their demise."
"That's right. She doesn't have a treasury, so how can she have a constant supply of money to support so many people?" The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief and said sarcastically.
How rich must she be to be able to support so many people and soldiers?
"Her troops are just a handful, and anyone can easily take her down. If Feng Kunjun wants to attack, they can handle it immediately. So what if she has new weapons? Without troops, she will only lose."
Zhou Shuai sighed, "But this woman didn't bring shame to his father's reputation. She did make some noise."
"She is digging her own grave. She is just a flash in the pan. When she falls in the future, if she is willing to take out new weapons, we can save her life, hahaha." One of the men laughed.
Zhou Shuai nodded: "Her father and I are old acquaintances. If she comes to me for help, I will definitely accept her."
After a pause, she asked again, "Hasn't anyone figured out where those new weapons came from?"
"No."
"Then continue investigating."
Everyone was waiting for Ye Baizhi in the Northern Province to dig her own grave, and no one took her seriously at all, continuing the fighting between the warlords.
Because the main force of the Japanese army was in the northern province and has now been destroyed, without external enemies, the internal fighting has become fierce again.
But at this moment, they suddenly received news——
"The news of the complete annihilation of the Japanese army in Northern Province reached Japan. The Emperor was furious and Japan assembled a large army. They will sail warships from the sea to destroy the Ye army in Northern Province and capture Ye Baizhi alive to bring back to Japan for sacrifice. Country Y and Country F provided a batch of weapons to Japan. They said that the Ye army had killed tens of thousands of Japanese people this time and showed a lack of humanitarian spirit. Therefore, they support Japan's trial of Ye Baizhi."
Upon receiving the news, Zhou De and his companions were furious.
Even people like Huang Ping were furious: "Sacrifice to Heaven? How many of our compatriots did they kill? Did they offer sacrifice to Heaven?! Why should we offer sacrifice to Heaven? Humanitarianism? When they killed us, did they even think about humanitarianism?! How many of us did those two countries kill?!"
"These bastards! They have no conscience!" Liu Li cursed.
Chen Jianye looked at Bai Zhi, who was sitting at the top, and took a deep breath: "Marshal Ye..."
Bai Zhi didn't say anything, but took off her glasses and slowly wiped them with a handkerchief. Her unhurried movements made it seem as if everything had become calm, so that Zhou De and the others gradually calmed down.
"Humanitarian spirit? It's a good word. I'll remember it." Bai Zhi spoke softly, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
The Northern Province was unusually calm, but other warlords were not.
Those are tens of thousands of powerful Japanese troops equipped with advanced weapons provided by Country F and Country Y. Their equipment and weapons are unmatched by those in China.
What's more, they came here in a big ship, and it was obvious that they were coming with great force.
And all this was because Ye Baizhi killed tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers.
The double-dealing Feng Kunjun of Liao Province immediately published an announcement in the newspaper:
"This is all the disaster Ye Baizhi has brought to the Republic of China. When these Japanese troops arrive, they will definitely cause huge damage to this land. Ye Baizhi must be held accountable for this and appease the Japanese anger!"
When Qin Ce heard this, he also immediately published it in the newspaper -
"Cowards, all of them are cowards! Marshal Ye did a great job killing the Japanese pirates, they deserved it. They killed at least hundreds of thousands of us, and we killed tens of thousands of them, they deserved it! If they want to come, they can come. Now is the time to unite and drive these people out of our territory! Marshal Ye, the Central Province stands behind you!"
These days, all the major newspapers are controlled by local warlords.
For such major events, the reports in major newspapers reflect the attitudes of their own warlords.
Some are more explicit, others more subtle.
But apart from Qin Ce, the only one who stood on Ye Baizhi's side was Deng Qi in the north. The attitudes of the others were all against it. They were unwilling to send troops to help and even blamed Ye Baizhi.
At this time, Jiangcheng, Southern Province said—
"The Japanese pirates are the enemy of all of us, but at present, we do not have the strength to fight them and need to compromise. Once tens of thousands of Japanese troops land, there will be devastating losses. I suggest that Ye Baizhi personally go to Japan to apologize to the Japanese Emperor, calm the anger, and protect the country."
Zhou De: “???”
He was furious: "Marshal Ye! Jiang the dog wants you to die! He is kidding, Japan has made no secret of its greed for our continent, we are just an excuse! Even if Marshal Ye went to Japan, they would still come to attack the Republic of China!"
Bai Zhi didn't say anything, just sneered.
All the major warlords have published their opinions, and the domestic warlords are almost all blaming Japan. How could they not know that Japan would come regardless of whether Ye Baizhi was there or not?
But as they were all warlords, they would certainly be happy to see Ye Baizhi gone.
Now that the Japanese army is coming, these people are worried and anxious, and they also vent their anger on Baizhi.
The interests of the upper class and the common people are always different. Japan did wreak havoc in the country, but for these warlords, as long as they were friendly, Japan would generally give them some face.
The oppression only involves the oppression of ordinary people. What does it have to do with the warlord upper class?
One could even put it another way - these warlords are also oppressing ordinary people.
Therefore, they were angry that Ye Baizhi had caused trouble, but they did not consider what these Japanese had done to this land before, and what they would do to this land in the future.
As for the people in the country, most of them thought that killing the Japanese pirates was right. They hoped that all the warlords could unite to resist foreign enemies and win victory.
If they could unite, they would not be warlords.
If they really gather together and fight, they will have to be on guard against each other, fearing that someone will stab them in the back. That would be really troublesome.
No matter what, Japan is coming.
The people in the Northern Province are somewhat uneasy. I wonder how many people are worried that the homes they have worked so hard to build will be destroyed again.
The crops have just been planted and everyone has just had enough food to eat. Are these days going to be over?
It’s all the Japanese’ fault!
The number of people joining the army in the Northern Province increased dramatically in a short period of time.
At this time, Ye Baizhi from Northern Province finally published an advertisement in the newspaper. However, her content was obviously not written for other warlords, but for the people of Northern Province.
"Northern Province will not be in chaos. I hope everyone can focus on agriculture and work. Ye Baizhi."
Other warlords: “…” That’s it? ?
Just this nonsense? ?
But strangely enough, Northern Province actually felt relieved! !
At the same time, they received another piece of news - Ye Baizhi had sent a message to Japan.
Do you think she apologized?
No, she said two words -
【welcome. 】
Other warlords: “???” This woman is actually this crazy?!
Doesn't she know what she's facing?!
Externally, people from other countries want to deal with her.
Internally, other warlords also disliked her.
In such a situation, she is still so arrogant?
Are you not afraid of death? Or have you gone crazy?
All of a sudden, other warlords began to condemn Ye Baizhi through various channels, and Feng Kun's army even sent 10,000 soldiers to station on the border between Bei Province and Liao Province.
——It’s full of threats.
However……
Ye Baizhi still ignored him.
Feng Kunjun was so angry that he published advertisements in Liaoning Province newspapers for several days in a row to curse people.
Japan was also very angry, even furious.
So, the army, which was supposed to set off in a few days, boarded a warship and sailed to the Northern Province by sea the next morning.
As they got closer to the Northern Province, these Japanese soldiers became more and more eager to fight.
"As soon as we reach the harbor, we'll open fire!"
"Yes, do these sick men think we can do nothing now that they have occupied the port?"
"Hahaha, they really underestimated our country, Japan!"
"We must show Ye Baizhi how powerful she is!"
…
Someone took the lead in shouting slogans:
"Capture Ye Baizhi alive! Kill the Republicans!"
"Capture Ye Baizhi alive! Kill the Republicans!"
