Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 411 The Zhu Family's Weakness

The fight between the twenty towns of the new army stationed in Fengtian and the Japanese soldiers is actually a very small incident, and it can also be said to be the epitome of an era.Stretching back in time, even when Zhang Zuolin was in charge of Kanto, many conflicts with the Japanese army also occurred.

Japan, even though this country won the Sino-Japanese War, was not considered a serious problem by the Qing government until September [-]th. Tsarist Russia, Britain, which one is not a stronger enemy.Tsarist Russia invaded from the land, and Britain invaded economically. The two countries are actually more aggressive.

However, except for Zhu Chuanwen, no one in the Qing Dynasty realized that Japan at this time had entered a fast lane of imperialist development.In the south, Japan's Nanyang trade is thriving with the springboard of the southern big island of the Qing Dynasty; while in the north, North Korea after complete annexation and assimilation is based on labor and agricultural output.Both are contributing to Japan's rise.

And Japan's penetration of Kanto is being further put on the agenda...

Meiji Japan at this time and Hirohito Japan in the later period are actually completely different. Conflicts with Japan could occur at that time, let alone now.According to the past, the twenty towns fought with the Japanese army, and this matter would not reach the desk of Kanto Governor Xiliang, but this time, the Japanese Nanman Railway Co., Ltd. intends to make things big.

Japan Railway Co., Ltd. is a rare company under the indirect jurisdiction of the Japanese Ministry of War.

In this way, Xiliang paid attention to this matter and reported it to the Qing Army Department.

Kanto Governor's Mansion

"Bao Sen, you will live in my Governor's Mansion these two days." Xi Liang looked at Gong Bao Sen, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him in the form of a general, and said, Xi Liang's face could not tell whether it was joy or sadness. , is angry or happy.

"My lord, Baosen feels guilty." Gong Baosen used to be only a fourth-rank guard commander, but when he saw Xi Liang, a first-rank official in the Qing court, his knees were naturally a little weak.

"Bao Sen, I understand that this time it's the registered disciples you taught who came out to you. The Japanese soldiers surrounded Ni Gong's house. The Japanese went too far in this matter. Don't worry, I won't punish them too much. "Xi Liang naturally knew what Gong Baosen meant by kneeling in front of him at this moment.

Speaking of it, just talking about the four sheds (squads) dispatched by the new army No. 20 this time, they beat up a small Japanese army. The combat effectiveness of the new army has been continuously increasing, which proves that the Qing government is right to take this step.

But Ci doesn't lead soldiers, Xiliang should be punished or punished.At this time, Gong Baosen, the person next to the Empress Dowager Cixi whom he had seen in the palace before, knelt in front of him, Xi Liang also planned to give some face and punish him lightly.

Furthermore, Gong Baosen is also the martial arts instructor of Fengtian No. [-] town (division) and No. [-] mixed association (brigade). The new army's melee quality can improve so quickly, and it is also a lot of effort. In Xi Liang's heart , it can be considered a credit.

"My lord, the Japanese are still relentless?" Gong Baosen heard that he was staying in the Governor's Mansion. He immediately thought of the relationship between Qing and Japan. At this level, he was forced to live temporarily in the Governor's Mansion?
"Bao Sen, get up and talk, we have known each other for many years, to tell you the truth, this matter has been magnified. Come, have a look!" Xi Liang handed Gong Baosen the telegram in his hand.

After a while, Gong Baosen asked in disbelief: "Kaishan surrounded the Black Dragon Society in Spring City?"

"Yes." There was an intriguing smile on the corner of Xiliang's mouth.

"Your junior brother is really impatient. I probably heard that your palace was besieged. The first time you led troops to surround the Black Dragon Club in Spring City, the reason was somewhat grandiose. It was said that Ji Shenghuzi fled into the Black Dragon Club dojo in Spring City. I want to go in and search for people! And..." Xi Liang handed over another telegram.

Gong Baosen's face changed this time. According to the telegram, Zhu Shaofang's Zhu's insurance team stationed in Yanbian Prefecture began to deploy on the Tumen River, relying on the Zhu's grain store, and began to investigate the Koreans in the territory.

I have to say that the two telegrams proved one thing, the Zhu family is very tough!The purpose is also very clear, if the Japanese dare to touch the palace family again, they will not know what will happen later.

The Gong family, at this moment, became the reverse scale of the Zhu family. This action is telling the Japanese, Gong family, you can't move, and it's best not to have any thoughts.

"My lord, this..." Gong Baosen didn't know what to say for a while, if he said he didn't know, he was drawing a line with the Zhu family and making the Zhu family feel cold.To say that he knows is to tell Xiliang that the Gong family has completely turned to the Zhu family, then this matter is really difficult to deal with, and he, Gong Baosen, will probably lose his job as a coach in Fengtian again.

"Bao Sen, I know that the flour from your Gongjia Flour Mill has been sold by Hanyao Trading Company, and you don't have to deny your relationship with Zhu Kaishan. I let you live in the Governor's Mansion, which is also my selfish intention, Japanese. If something is really done to you, the situation will become uncontrollable, which really makes me feel a little troublesome." Xi Liang's words seemed to comfort him, but only he knew what was going on in his heart.

"Thank you, my lord!" Gong Baosen didn't say anything, he just asked for a message for Ma San and Lao Jiang, and stayed in the governor's mansion.

Gong Baosen left, Xiliang recruited his staff.

"My lord, it seems that this new weakness of the Zhu family has really been delivered to us in this way." The staff member stroked his beard with his right hand, and said to Xiliang proudly.

"I also didn't expect that Zhu Kaishan and even Zhu Chuanwen would value the Gong family so much. It seems that the friendship of the same family is deeper than I thought. The news you got before that Zhu Kaishan and Gong Baosen were at odds came from Where did it come from?" Xi Liang asked, the original idle chess that kept Gong Baosen by his side was used like this, which was beyond his expectation.

"My lord, this matter is actually nothing new in the martial arts in Beijing and Jinmen. It is nothing more than Zhu Kaishan's apprenticeship with Gong Baosen's father. After Gong Baosen took charge of the family, he did not agree with Zhu Kaishan's branch. I got the analysis at this point, but since I came to Kanto, the relationship between the two families has been repairing, but I didn't expect that the Gong family has such a strong position in the Zhu family's mind now." The staff smashed their mouths.

"In this way, I will pay attention to Gong Baosen's coaching position in the future. The four twenty town shed leaders (squad leaders) who led the team this time, keep an eye on me. When Yang Li (Chen Heng) comes back, the four It must be changed, and it must be noted that these new troops from the palace family cannot be entrusted with heavy responsibilities." Xi Liang said to the staff, and when Chen Heng returned from the capital, these things had to be taken care of.

"Understood, my lord!" The staff nodded in agreement, and then asked again, "My lord, then Zhu Kaishan surrounded the Black Dragon Club of Spring City? Check with the Zhu family's insurance team about the North Koreans."

"Let him continue with Zhu Kaishan's matter. He has told me several times that behind the banditry in Kyrgyzstan, most of it is funded by the Japanese. His beard is like a weed on the Mongolian grassland. Since the fire is endless , let’s find the root cause, and it will always be settled if we take the bottom line.” Xi Liang’s eyes flashed a cold light.

During the Kanto plague, the foreign forces around the Kanto region began to move around again. The consuls of the British, Russian, and Japanese forces have sent him several letters to note.They were all rejected by Xiliang, and after that, under the instigation of their masters behind them, small countries such as Belgium frequently publicized their views in the capital and asked to intervene in the Kanto plague.

In this matter, Xi Liang's heart is clear, borrowing an old Chinese saying: It is easier to ask God than to give God away.What to help him deal with the Kanto plague, this is a signal that he wants to intervene, he has to stand in front.

"Then the Zhu family's insurance team?" asked the aide.

"As long as Gong Baosen is still in Fengtian, I don't think Zhu Chuanwen will do anything. Your analysis of this matter is not wrong. Gong Baosen's daughter entered the ice city. It is estimated that Gong Baosen and Zhu Kaishan are trying to ease the relationship. , But why a girl? In the past, when Zhu Chuanwen came to Fengtian, he didn't live in Hanyao's chamber of commerce. Why did he live in Gong's house this time.

It seems that the time for Gong Baosen to be Zhu Chuanwen's father-in-law is getting closer! "Xi Liang said.

Fengtian's every move is under his nose, he even knows about Gong Baosen's identification of Dugu's letter seal, and he has figured out the taste, so he tightly holds Gong Baosen in his hand and goes to the harem. It is getting more and more difficult for Baosen to leave Fengtian.

Talking about personal matters, Xiliang has an elder brother named Jiliang, who was a rare master of gold and stone in the late Qing Dynasty. He was deeply influenced. Just think about it, he doesn't have despicable qualities that attract people's attention, and it happens that Gong Baosen can play around with him during the time he lives in the Governor's Mansion.

Ice City, Hanyao Headquarters
Zhu Chuanwen was listening to the hunter's report.

"Dao Yao, has there been any news from the Guandong Prefecture?"

"Boss, I'm organizing and deciphering the news about Song Zier (Xiao Liuzhengji), and it will be delivered soon." Gong Yaodao said.

"Well, don't be in a hurry." Zhu Chuanwen lit a cigarette and looked at a potted flower that was gradually withering in the office.The dynamics in Japan this time gave Zhu Chuanwen a very obvious signal, that is, the gradually rising Japanese military forces are gradually taking power.

Especially after North Korea was annexed by the Japanese this year, the Japanese army forces have set their sights on the Kanto of the Qing Dynasty.North Korea was annexed by the Japanese, and the Qing Dynasty and Japan had no buffer zone.

"Is there any news from the North Korean Rebel Army?"

"The general teacher, in July this year, the North Korean rebels launched several small-scale seizures of county towns in northern North Korea, but they were soon suppressed by the Japanese. The Korean rebels once again asked for the purchase of artillery."

"Let this matter be handled by Nie Shize, who will sell the Krupp guns we imitated at the beginning to the North Korean rebels on a small scale." After thinking for a while, Zhu Chuanwen still said. "Also, how's the gun factory's hand grenades going?"

"The first batch of cantaloupe grenades has been deployed to Zhu Shaofang's team, and a small amount has been deployed to Lin Laoba's team. The feedback is still good, but our output of high explosives is still very low."

"As long as it is effective, this is the future trend. In trench warfare, grenades are indispensable." Zhu Chuanwen said.

Hanyao's current manufacturing capability is really unique in Kanto, and has even started to catch up with the United States in some aspects. Because of the relationship with the Morgan consortium, Hanyao's steel smelting will definitely catch up with the level of American smelting in the next ten years. , Zhu Chuanwen will also be in place at one time, and directly started the development of the melon grenade, which is the kind of sputtering grenade with iron pieces.

At present, the effect has been achieved, and these grenade equipments have been equipped with the Hunter Action Team, which plays a role in reducing personnel damage when the Hunter Action Team clears the Japanese infiltration operations.

After Gong Yaodao answered, seeing that Zhu Chuanwen was still waiting for news from Xiaoliu Zhengji, he turned and walked towards the door. When he got to the door, a hunter telegrapher was waiting at the door.

"Teacher, news of Song Zier has arrived." Gong Yaodao took the telegram and handed it to Zhu Chuanwen.

Masaki Koyanagi is currently the only official source of information that Hunter has among the Japanese, and he is very cautious. One piece of news needs to be deciphered three times to get complete information.

Instructor General, your friend from Yamagata in Tokyo is constantly lobbying senior army generals. The Chrysanthemum Agency has received an order from the Ministry of the Interior (Japan) to collect information on the three Kanto provinces. If the plague continues to spread, the Japanese government will formally submit a health joint proposal to the Qing court. Under this name, the Japanese army will be formally dispatched from Lushun as the base camp, and the Qing-Japanese joint health checkpoint will be established.

Taking the Tumen River as the benchmark, it will officially advance to Kyrgyzstan. South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. and Kyrgyzstan Forest Mining Co., Ltd. have received instructions and will support the Black Dragon Club to start operations in advance.

After Zhu Chuanwen read it, he handed the telegram to Gong Yaodao, who immediately picked up the match and destroyed it.

All the information that Xiaoliu is remembering is not kept by the hunter.

"Send a telegram to Dad, the Black Dragon Society in Spring City must be eradicated."

"Yes, boss!" Gong Yaodao was about to go out, but was stopped by Zhu Chuanwen, "Did you understand the purpose of Funakoshi Fumifu when he went to Shanghai to find Gu Ansheng last time?"

"Understood, the general teacher, Fumio Funakoshi said that he wanted to leave the Black Dragon Association. According to him, the current Black Dragon Association is an extremist with the idea of ​​friends in the mountain county. It is no longer suitable for his ideas. The spread of karate has become a black dragon. There will be things that are dispensable at the moment."

"For this matter, let Gu Ansheng get in touch with Fumio Funakoshi, and use his personal name to support Fumio Funakoshi. This person is a figure at the level of a master in the Japanese karate world. His separation can more or less serve the purpose of weakening the Black Dragon Association. .”

"Yes!"

Dinner, now is the most difficult time for Zhu Chuanwen...

"Brother Chuanwen, you eat this, this is the fresh vegetable that mother just picked in the greenhouse today." Xian'er put a piece of braised eggplant in Zhu Chuanwen's rice bowl.

"Yeah, delicious!" Zhu Chuanwen smiled at Xian'er.

"Brother Chuanwen, you eat this, this is the dumpling made of Qingshan beef (Wagyu) that Xiaoqingshan just sent over today, it is tender and juicy!" Gong Ruomei put another dumpling into Zhu Chuanwen's bowl.

"Yeah, it's not bad!" Zhu Chuanwen finished eating the dumplings again and said with a smile.

"Chuanwen, this deep-fried soy bean cake (Jiangwowo)..." Chuanwenniang said, and was about to put a piece of black pancake into Zhu Chuanwen's bowl.

"Mother, mother, do you think my stomach can still hold it?" Zhu Chuanwen cried to his mother opposite with some grievances, eating like this every day, Xian'er took a piece, Gong Ruomei followed closely, And my mother's appearance of going to the theater every day is obviously a joke now.

The purpose is very clear, let you do it yourself, and you have made such a good home.

"That's right, then I'll eat it myself. It's bitter first and then sweet. The taste of this deep-fried bean cake is really beyond the enjoyment of ordinary people." Chuanwenniang said that she took a delicious bite.

At least, this kind of change is also very happy for Chuanwenniang. In the past, Zhu Chuanwen had more and more work and became busier. Now that there is an extra Gong Ruomei, it seems that the family is more lively.

Some private conversations between Xian'er and Zhu Chuanwen have become conversations at the dinner table of Zhu's family. Both eyes are staring at each other. If Zhu Chuanwen doesn't level the water, what is the blessing of Qiren?It's really hard to enjoy.

But all in all, Xian'er is holding Gong Ruomei on top after all, and now Xian'er has a big belly and a big belly.
