mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 526 If you don't practice Wing Chun, you cut me in the middle?
On the deck, Zhao Chuanxin was wearing a dark gray coat lined with a black half turtleneck sweater and Chelsea leather boots on his feet.

He quietly looked at Ao Island, although it was a tiny place, it was closely connected with the mainland.

It is called an island, but it is considered a peninsula at most.

Zhao Chuanxin came here for the first time in his life, and immediately felt speechless: "This f*cking place shouldn't be occupied by the Portuguese."

As far as Hong Kong Island is concerned, at least half of its area is isolated from the sea, which is reasonable.

But O Island, which is an inseparable part of the mainland, was cheated by the Portuguese for a piece of meat.

The roots were still in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, after the Opium War, the Portuguese did not even pay the land rent, and unilaterally declared that Australia Island was a free port.

For nothing else, who made the Qing Dynasty lose?
Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth in hatred when he thought about how big Portugal was, and how he dared to ride on China's neck to do his best.

But now is not the time to forcibly take it back, because he can't hold it.

Someone once encouraged him to rebel, but Zhao Chuanxin flatly refused.

Daqing has been jumping around for a few years, and he is not obvious, so there is no need for internal friction at this time.

If he really rebelled, he would have to face all the pressure from the Qing Dynasty and the great powers at the same time, and he might even turn against Sun Gongwu because of his ideas.

Moreover, the flames of war spread, and the people of the land of China suffered.

If he succeeds, he will face the same mess as the original history. If he fails, he can pat his ass and leave. No one can keep him, but what about those displaced people?

People without brains come up with the idea of ​​"rebellion" as soon as they pat their butts, but they never think about the end.

Li Zhitao asked: "Master, what are you thinking?"

"I was thinking, 27 years later, how the Japanese will take the blame for me."

"..."

Li Zhitao was full of question marks.

The best time to retake Ao Island is not now, nor the beginning of the next era, but when the Japanese start to dance.

At that time, not only Australia Island, but also Hong Kong Island, Zhao Chuanxin had to take back all of them.

Of course, no one knew what was on his mind.

Li Zhitao is gearing up: "The head, Lu Jiu from Ao Island, made his fortune by opening a business. The deputy head has set a limit for exchanging chips and prohibits borrowing. But since the business is open, isn't it both a show and a job?" Set up a memorial archway? Why don’t the master personally let go of this opening, so that we can make a lot of money.”

Zhao Chuanxin's complexion changed drastically, and he was slapped on the head: "You fucking court death!"

Li Zhitao has seen the methods of the insurance team and Zhao Chuanxin's ability with his own eyes, so he can only say that the name of the God of War is well-deserved.

Although he was in a good position at this time and was beaten by Zhao Chuanxin, he still felt it was a matter of course, and he couldn't think of resisting at all.

He sneered and shut up.

Zhao Chuanxin turned his head, looked at the many members of the adjudication team behind him, and said viciously: "This place in Shushan is a last resort. It is a springboard for us to enter Ao Island. I will not let your investment be in vain, but no one should try to Make money by relying on it. Whoever dares to stretch out his hand indiscriminately, I will chop off his paw!"

Zhao Chuanxin seldom got angry at his own people, but once King Kong glared and the four demons surrendered, they all trembled.

Li Zhitao didn't dare to speak anymore.

When the boat docked, Zhao Chuanxin jumped off first.

Behind them are strong men with thick backs and waists, wearing uniform overalls, with the word "judgment" embroidered on the chest, and the small characters "Xuantianzong" underneath.

Uniform uniforms can increase group awareness and cohesion.

In the 21st century, old fritters hated this, thinking that it had killed their individuality.

But at this time, all the workers on Hong Kong Island wished they could wear Xuantianzong's uniform.

In addition to the significance of the uniform, the clothes themselves are of good quality, stiff, stylish, wear-resistant and trendy.

Ordinary people naturally can't wear it. Even if someone has money and finds a tailor to make the same style, most people don't dare to wear it, and they will be beaten.

The Outer Harbor Wharf is as lively as Hong Kong Island.

Seeing such a group of maverick teams, the people passing by all cast curious and shocked eyes.

These days, even the chief soldiers may not be uniformly dressed.

Not to mention non-governmental organizations.

Some knowledgeable people called out: "This is Xuantianzong, the Xuantianzong of Hong Kong Island, and their clothes look like this!"

"What are they doing here?"

"What you don't know is that the newly opened Mount Shu is the property of Xuantianzong."

"That crappy place, I've been there before, and what's the limit? I lose my own money, can they control it? It's really a dog meddling with a mouse."

"Yes, do you know why my great-grandfather can live to such an old age? It's because he doesn't meddle in his own business."

"But these people look really tough."

Zhao Chuanxin turned a blind eye to the pointing around.

On the pier, Liu Wang was looking forward to wearing the suit and leather shoes he was wearing, when he saw Zhao Chuanxin and others walking quickly: "Master."

This kid is indeed the leader of the "entertainment industry" on Hong Kong Island. He has made rapid progress in the field of aesthetics. The clothes on his body fit very well, and the shoulder sleeves are especially well handled.

By the time of the 21st century, the best tailors in China will probably be on Hong Kong Island.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "How is Shushan?"

Liu Wang showed displeasure on his face: "The man has arrived, but I stopped him outside, and he was shouting at this moment, making a lot of noise. Waiting for the master to arrive."

Before Zhao Chuanxin could speak, Li Zhitao was in a hurry: "Quick, quick, let's go quickly."

It seems that the amount of investment in this product is not small, and maybe the entire net worth is in Shushan.

A group of people got into the carriage and rushed towards Shushan.

The distance is very short, just on Lianhua Road.

This is the most prosperous area with many casinos.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at it strangely, and saw red cloth hanging on the outer walls of many gambling houses, with the words on the left: Come in Baibi.

On the right it reads: Green clam flies in.

In the middle it reads: Greatly Kill Three Parties.

There is a gambling table outside the door, surrounded by more than a dozen people, and there are about seven or eight people who go to the table to gamble.

Shouting and screaming, the sound shook the rubble.

After the cup is opened, there are those who sigh, some who are elated, and those who watch the excitement and don't think it's too bad are clamoring endlessly.

This reminded Zhao Chuanxin of when he was a child, there was a time when his family opened a small shop, and people gathered there every day to play cards. The game was small, but it was very lively.Every winter, someone goes to do some work every morning, which is more positive than anything else.

Later, people in the village went to the city, and those in the city went south, and the number of people outside the customs gradually decreased, and the lively atmosphere was no longer there.

When he grows up, playing cards with relatives and friends around him will not be the atmosphere it used to be, it has really turned into gambling.

A table of players with a monthly income of less than 4000 yuan dared to play mahjong for 50 yuan and mahjong for 100-[-] yuan, which made Zhao Chuanxin's scalp tingle.

Win or lose thousands of dollars a day, do you have a mine at home?

He used to make money from handicrafts, and his monthly income was one hundred and eighty thousand, but he didn't dare to make such gestures.

If it was just the kind of joyous play that Zhao Chuanxin remembered from his childhood, he actually didn't dislike it.

During the holidays, in Lugang Town, he also organized a few mahjong games to enjoy his hands.

But if you gamble fiercely, that's a different matter. This thing will ruin your family, sell your children, and dehumanize you.

Rape, kill, gamble, steal.

Li Zhitao seems to like Ao Island very much. Although he was anxious, he noticed that Zhao Chuanxin was looking over there, and introduced him: "Master, it's Fantan, hold broad beans or Go pieces in a porcelain cup, guess how many or odd or even numbers .”

Zhao Chuanxin nodded with a wooden face.

Casinos like this abound on this street.

Soon, we arrived at Shushan Mountain.

The name Shushan is really fairy, but after seeing the door face, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't help but laugh.

That's it?

Just from the outside, he could tell it must be dark inside.

It is very different from the resplendent casino described by friends who have been to Ao Island in later generations.

In 1847, gambling on Australia Island began to be legalized.

The idea of ​​getting a license plate was actually said by Zhao Chuanxin.

At this time, it is not called a license, it is considered a semi-franchise, and a fee must be paid to the local government office to buy a house, and then you can open a gambling shop.

It was not until more than 20 years later that the patent operation signed with the local yamen was implemented here.

Not far from Shushan Mountain, a new bank was opened, which attracted Zhao Chuanxin's attention, because the bank's name was Lugang Town Bank.

In addition, at the gate of Shushan, three or forty people gathered.

These people were confronting the guard at the entrance of the casino, but the two sides showed their arms and sleeves but did not fight, they just spat at each other.

"You are in normal business, why don't you let customers in?"

"Normal people can come to play, but you can't."

"Why?"

"Because you are from Gao's Casino."

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin and his party got out of the car.

It was originally surrounded by people at the gate of Shushan Mountain, but in an instant, it turned into that group of people surrounded by members of the adjudication team.

The number of the two sides is about the same, but the men of the Judgment Group have big arms and round waists, uniform uniforms, and each shaved hair looks extremely fierce, so the imposing ones came up.

The momentum of the people in Gao's Gambling House suddenly became shorter.

They turned their heads one after another and turned into a confrontation with Zhao Chuanxin and others, but they obviously lacked confidence.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a cigar, and Li Zhitao quickly lit it.

He walked forward: "Are you here to play for money or to fight?"

"Yankee, who are you?"

Zhao Chuanxin's accent sounded like it was from the north.

"I am the boss of Shushan."

"Oh..." The leader made a long voice: "I'm not going to hide it from you, I'm Gao He, the manager of Gao's Casino, and this is Master Ye, who came to Shushan for a special visit, and Master Ye represented me to play with your casino. "

At this time, Liu Wang whispered in Zhao Chuanxin's ear and explained: "Gao's gambling house is a representative sent by the gambling shop owners here, because we didn't visit them and didn't get their permission, so we came here to pick a place."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Gao He, then at Master Ye, and suddenly asked, "Master Ye, do you practice Wing Chun?"

Master Ye is tall and thin, with a hooked nose, and his face is always stern, as if someone owes him [-] million.

He shook his head: "No practice."

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly approached: "If you don't practice Wing Chun, what the hell are you bringing so many people here? Do you want to cut me in the middle?"

No one knew who Zhao Chuanxin was.

However, an inexplicable sense of oppression hit him overwhelmingly.

Gao He is not an idle person, he is struggling here, fighting in the rivers and lakes is commonplace.

The family business is all done.

However, he couldn't help but take a step back.

Then become angry from embarrassment.

It seemed that he was afraid of Zhao Chuanxin.

Just when he was about to get angry, he remembered that the adjudication team of the Xuantianzong of Hong Kong Island should be on the opposite side. These are all ruthless people, so he calmed down again and said with his head held high: "It is said that there is a quota in Shushan, no, we brought some more friends here , They have all gone to the nearby Lugang Township Bank to make a deposit as a voucher, and they are all willing to exchange chips for Master Ye to serve on the table."
