Chapter 664 Special Operations in Paradise (First update, please subscribe)
Haizhou is a paradise for adventurers!
Just like Shanghai is called in another time and space, many foreigners in this world also call Haizhou by this name.Because at this time Haizhou, Huayang is mixed.The concession is only for the concession, and the Chinese community is only for the Chinese community.A large influx of capital, a large influx of labor.In this case, outside the rules, a gray area arises.In this area, whoever has the guts and is willing to take risks may reap huge benefits.

History has an amazing coincidence here.

The rise of Haizhou is entirely due to the fall of Shanghai in 1863 and the expulsion order from the Kingdom of Heaven.Since then, the Shanghai Concession has become a thing of the past, but soon, the British and French consuls found a new paradise in the north, not Tianjin, but the Haizhou Concession.

Although Haizhou does not have the lakes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there is no local goods along the river, there are concessions here, especially with the construction of the railway leading to the inland, not only the inland goods can be transported to Haizhou through Hankou, and the west can be installed on the train to Haizhou, and other countries Foreign goods can also be imported into the mainland from Haizhou.

As a result, Haizhou quickly became the most important commercial port in the Qing Dynasty. In just ten years, driven by the railway, Haizhou has become one of the most prosperous cities in the Far East. There are both electric lights and trams here. , here you can see the most fashionable new things in the world, of course, the premise is... the concession!
Haizhou has its "Shiliyangchang", which is the concession in the Binhai area. After Britain and France withdrew from Shanghai, after negotiations between the ministers of the two countries, they reopened the concession in Haizhou. A few years ago, in the north of the British and French concessions That is, at the foot of Houyuntai Mountain, there is another "Ming Concession".This is in accordance with the supplementary provisions of the "Nanqing Treaty of Commerce and Navigation".

The Ming Concession is not big, but it is only 3817 mu, but it is the most prosperous concession in the Three Kingdoms Concession. After all, for Chinese people, they prefer to live in a place ruled by their own people. After all, here at least there is no discrimination against Chinese people. The concession and the British and French concessions carried out "modernization construction" almost simultaneously, and paid more attention to the work of "creating a civilized and sanitary city", renovating the embankment along the river, and building a large number of parks and green spaces.When the parks in the Anglo-French Concession still banned Chinese from playing, the Ming Concession did not have any ban. After all, Ming people are also Chinese, so how could they discriminate against themselves?
Of course, for people in the Qing Dynasty, this place is not called the "Ming Concession", but the "South China Concession".

Like all the Ming people who came here, Li Chengliang and Zhang Wenjie didn't feel uncomfortable here. You can see Ming-style buildings, Ming-style streets, Ming-style parks and communities here. Except for the residents, most of them have braids. , except for wearing a robe and mandarin jacket, there is not much difference from Daming.Of course there are many differences.The biggest difference is that the expressions on the faces of the residents are obviously different from those of the people of Daming.The difference is neither clear nor clear.It's more of a mental distinction.

"Look, there is the British Concession over there!"

Standing in the room on the third floor, Xu Mingheng pointed to the other side and said.

"The concession is a "country within a country", this road..."

He pointed to the road in front of the building and said.

"It's the boundary between us and the British Concession. To the north of this road, the British couldn't get in here. Similarly, to the south of the road is the British territory. Anything happened to you , we have no way to rescue you, after all..."

Looking back at Li Chengliang, Xu Mingheng, the deputy police chief of the police station in the Ming Concession, smiled.

"You came here in a private capacity. We will not admit any relationship with you. Of course, if you are arrested, we will ask the British through the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. After all, there is an agreement between us, but ..."

Pointing at the lights on Houyuntai Mountain in the southwest of the British Concession, Xu Mingheng said.

"Sassoon is not only a well-known foreign businessman in the British Concession, but also a business director of the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. The time has come to unite with Britain and France."

"Officer Xu, don't worry, we will try our best not to attract the attention of the outside world."

Li Chengliang said with a smile.

"We need a guide."

"Row."

Xu Mingheng thought for a while and said.

"Just let Liu Tianrong, he is a local, it is more convenient to move around with braids, in fact..."

Looking at everyone present, Xu Mingheng smiled.

"If you can change into robes and hats, it will be more convenient to move."

……

In the next few days, Zhang Wenjie and his team members came to Houyuntai Mountain many times for reconnaissance—most of the villas of dignitaries in the concession are on Yuntai Mountain, facing the sea, with unique scenery.

It is also because of this that the streets here are usually quiet, with only private carriages coming and going, and no hawkers can be seen, so after several reconnaissances, Li Chengliang directly rejected the idea of ​​doing something in Yuntai Mountain, and chose to choose To go, they chose a corner at the foot of the mountain, which is sparsely populated and the most suitable action.

Today is a day for action.

The carriage was already waiting outside.

"After a while, try not to shoot."

Looking at the members of the ranger, Li Chengliang said:
"I'm in charge of sending the signal at the intersection, Wen Jie, you supervise the formation yourself, remember, the target must be caught alive, and the others don't care about life or death."

"understand!"

Soon, a group of people went out in three carriages. Zhang Wenjie, who was wearing a robe and top hat, put a pistol within reach at his waist.

There were also two Winchester rifles and an iron box under the seat, which contained grenades.

If they cannot escape smoothly, they will definitely surprise the British Concession with their powerful firepower.

"Wen Jie, after the operation is over, do you have any plans to return to your hometown?"

On the way to the destination, Qian Shaoyuan asked.

"There is no one in my hometown."

Zhang Wenjie calmly replied:
"However, I also want to go back and see if my father's grave is still there..."

The land has long belonged to other people's land, and whether the grave is still there is another matter.

"I'm better than you. I have a brother and a sister in my hometown."

Qian Shaoyuan smiled, and then said:
"I've thought about it. When the operation is over, I will go to my hometown and take them, at least a few nephews and nieces, and put them here in Tangshan. Even if they don't starve to death, they have no future. It's better to go to Daming, you Say no."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qian Shaoyuan said again:

"Anyway, although we can't talk about returning to our hometown now, we can still live a life. It's definitely not a problem to pick up a few children. You should also look for it. I remember you said that it seems that you still have a little sister."

"I've already sold it, I don't know where it went..."

Zhang Wenjie leisurely said:
"It would be great if I could find her, but I'm afraid that if you search for her, if you find something empty, you will lose your thoughts!"

He especially emphasized the words "find a space". All these years, the only thought in his heart was that his sister was still alive. After all, only in this way, he felt that he was not alone.

"Hey……"

Qian Shaoyuan sighed, and then remained silent for a while:
"In this world, if we hadn't burned high incense in our previous life, we probably would have died somewhere..."

Yes, compared to many people, they are lucky.If it weren't for the fact that they stepped on the immigrant ship, maybe they would have starved to death in an unknown corner.

How could it be like this now, probably without worrying about food and clothing, and living a life that I didn't even dare to think about in the past.

"Yeah, I burned high incense in my previous life, otherwise it wouldn't be our turn."

Another team member followed suit.

After that, none of them said anything more. The people in the carriage sat there quietly like this. Everyone seemed to have something in their hearts that they didn't know.

Soon the carriage arrived at its destination and stopped...
