Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 176 The Dock
Smith came to Li Yutang and talked about the attitude of the British.

After sending them off, Li Yutang told Lu Heng the news.

Lu Heng pondered for a while, and asked him to find a map of Hong Kong Island, and carefully draw a line on the map with his fingers.

Said: "The British guys don't intend to interfere. I'm still thinking about waiting for the British guys to send troops to show them some color. But if the mountain doesn't come, I will go to the mountain. After sending off Mr. Zhongshan tomorrow, I will go all the way from here Push it over, and go to see the governor of Naluoshizi."

Li Yutang looked at it and was taken aback.

The line drawn by Lu Heng connects the most important places on Hong Kong Island.One is the street where the four major foreign companies are located, then the barracks of the British army, and finally rounding back is the Governor's Mansion.

"Sir you"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "I came here to teach the British a lesson."

On the contrary, it was Mr. Zhongshan's business, which was a sudden encounter.

All around are silent.

This is really not taking foreigners seriously!
In today's Hong Kong Island, the British are the masters.Although all walks of life gradually developed, most of them were monopolized by British foreign firms.Among them, Jardine Matheson, Swire Matheson, Hutchison Matheson and Wheelock Matheson are the main ones.

Chinese businessmen can only survive in their cracks.

Even people like Li Yutang are nothing compared to these foreign firms.

Heavyweight industries such as finance, real estate, shipping, and energy are all in the hands of the British.

Speaking of which, the bicycle factory and pharmaceutical factory presided over by Ma San have gradually developed, which has become extremely coveted by British capital.It can be said that preventing Masan from building a power plant this time is a prelude to British capital's intention to swallow up bicycle factories and pharmaceutical factories.

And the line drawn by Lu Heng almost flattened the British's influence on Hong Kong Island in one fell swoop.

The four foreign firms, the barracks, and then the Governor's Mansion.If this road is pushed through, what else will the Brits have left?
Thinking of Lu Heng's feat in Shanghai, Chen Shaobai, Li Yutang and others finally understood that foreigners really meant nothing to Lu Heng.

Ma San's eyes lit up, and he said, "If this happens, Hong Kong Island may not be able to become the new Shanghai Bund!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts jumped.

Yes, if the British are pushed away and the Hong Kong Island is ruled by the Chinese, what will it be like? !

Lu Heng waved his hand and said nothing.

Lu Heng knows more about it than they do.

Pushing the Brit was just the beginning.There is a high probability that the British will compromise, but to what extent they can compromise, and whether they can be like Shanghai Tang, Lu Heng is hard to guess.

However, according to the current world situation, the British may not invest more power in the East—the internal conflicts among the great powers are becoming more and more acute, and the British probably do not have much spare power to fight against them.

It is also impossible for Lu Heng to stay on Hong Kong Island forever.

"Then it's up to you."

In the early morning of the next day, Ah Si was pulling the rickshaw, and Lu Heng was sitting in the car, heading for the Kowloon Pier in the misty morning.

Although it was only early in the morning, the streets were gradually bustling.The most industrious people in the world have started to work every day as before.

From Jinliyuan to the pier, this section is not a designated route.The place where Mr. Sun Yat-sen held meetings was not the source of Jinli either.Naturally, the street along this road is not within the scope of driving away the common people.

When passing by a tailor shop, Ah Si looked back frequently.

Lu Heng glanced at it and said with a smile, "What? Have you taken a fancy to that girl?"

Through the glass, a demure girl was sitting in the shop with a smile on her face.As if feeling something, the girl looked out the window and saw Ah Si, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and spilled a handful of dog food, it was amazing!
Ah Si smiled embarrassedly, nodded with the girl, ran faster, and said, "Mr. Lu, I like her."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "I can tell, she likes you too."

Ah Si smiled happily: "Yes. I like her, and she likes me too. I have long wanted to ask the master to help me find a match."

Lu Heng said: "Boss Li will help you find a matchmaker."

The Kowloon Pier is here.

Lu Heng got out of the rickshaw and looked around. He saw many shirtless people with big braids around their necks, carrying heavy loads, coming and going.

This pier is a bit of a mess.

Chen Shaobai arrived with some revolutionary youths and pushed back the surrounding people, revealing an open space.And pay close attention to the surrounding situation - for fear that there will be killers from the Qing court mixed in the crowd.

Lu Heng said: "Don't be too nervous, there is no hostility around."

But Chen Shaobai did not relax at all.

After about half an hour, a black spot appeared in the distance in front of the sea and sky.It's a ship.

Lu Heng has superb eyesight and can see clearly that it is not a freighter but a passenger ship.

Mr. Zhongshan is coming.

After a while, Chen Shaobai and the others also saw it.The more nervous it gets.

The ship began to whistle, slow down, whine, slowly pulled into the pier, and then stopped.

The ship's crew lowered the ladder and the passengers came down.Mostly dressed up - it's a ship from America.

Soon, Lu Heng's eyes fell on a group of people who were coming down.A few young men in suits walked down protecting a man of medium build with suits and leather shoes and a gentleman's hat.

Chen Shaobai's face showed joy, and he hurriedly went up to meet him.

The two shook hands and hugged.

Mr. Zhongshan said in a low voice: "Thanks for your hard work, Shaobai."

Chen Shaobai shook his head vigorously: "For the revolution!"

Then he cheered up and pulled Mr. Zhongshan to Lu Heng's side: "Sir, let me introduce you!"

He said, "This is Mr. Qianjun!"

Mr. Zhongshan didn't know about Lu Heng's visit to Hong Kong - when Lu Heng came to Hong Kong, the ship he was on was already at sea and could not receive any information.

As soon as Chen Shaobai introduced, Mr. Zhongshan couldn't help staring: "You are Shanghai Tang." He immediately knew who Lu Heng was.

He showed a sincere and friendly smile.

Lu Heng stretched out his hand: "Mr. Zhongshan, I have admired you for a long time!"

Mr. Zhongshan also stretched out his hand at the same time, and said with a smile: "I have also admired Mr. Qianjun for a long time."

Chen Shaobai said: "Let's not delay at the pier, let's talk later when we have something to say. Let's go."

Lu Heng nodded: "Mr. Zhongshan, get in the car."

At this moment, Mr. Zhongshan's expression became much more relaxed, and he said with a smile, "I never thought of meeting Mr. Qianjun. Thank you, Mr. Qianjun."

Lu Heng smiled and shook his head: "Sir, you are the leader of the revolution, so you don't have to thank me."

Mr. Zhongshan showed a smile, turned around and got into Ah Si's rickshaw.

Lu Heng said: "Si, let's go."

Taking big strides and flowing water, I walked leisurely with Ah Si's rickshaw, got out of the pier, crossed half a busy street, and entered the deserted and uninhabited street.

The sound of the rickshaw wheels rolling over the road, the footsteps of the revolutionaries behind them, and Ah Si's heavy breathing were very clear here.
