late Qing Dynasty arrest

In Beihai martial arts school, Wang Xiaocui is very talkative, Li Guolou said a lot of benefits, reputation, status, money, as long as a militia group is pulled out, Wang Wu will tremble a few times when stomping his feet in the capital .

Hearing Li Guolou's big words, Wang Wu was excited and eager to try, and said, "Xiao Lizi, I still have Master Yan Beihao on my head. He is a well-known name. He should take the lead in organizing a militia. Whoever gets me Come out."

Li Guolou snorted coldly and said, "Wang Wu, to say you're stupid is stupid. A man like your master only cares about fame, money, and status. You can give them to him. But he is willing to kill for me. In the front? It’s not about using you disciples and grandchildren. Why should I invite a Buddha? This is a new business, don’t talk about people who talk in plain language. In the Yamen, you have to give evidence, otherwise you can only arrest people and let them go. We In fact, no evidence is needed, as long as this kid is a big brother of the underworld and blocks our way, he will be killed! Take over the territory, so that the capital road will not be picked up, and the benefits will be great in the future, you will be the number one hero in the capital."

Wang Xiaocui understood what the militia was for.He raised his head and glanced at Li Guolou, then looked at his master Yan Beihao and several senior brothers not far away, and smiled slightly, as if he was talking about some trivial matters.

Wang Wu thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Lizi, from what you said, it seems that we are organizing an underworld, not like sharing the worries of the king and father, protecting the family and the country."

Li Guolou retorted: "Stupid Wang Wu, we are for the country and the people, carrying the banner of the militia, and showing the common people that we are the only ones who dare to fight against the gangsters. You have seen what the world is like now. Dare to break into the capital with an axe, and how many people have been killed. As a local, you are a coward and let them make the capital a mess. Now how many businesses come to your family? Tell me. You are a martial arts practitioner, do those gangsters charge you less money? No matter how well you practice martial arts alone, no one is afraid of you. If you have hundreds of brothers, who dare not give you face. "

Wang Wu rolled his eyes at Li Guolou, and said angrily: "I just want you to explain it to me well. I never listen to what you say. Even if you are really the boss of a gangster, I will do it with you. My master has already Without the edges and corners of the past, many of my brothers and sisters are abandoned here, and there are many grievances. It’s just money! If you don’t have money, people will listen to a few big words, and you will get on your boat and yell a few times. After a while, they will all run away poor and useless. If you want people to work hard, they will throw money, where do you get so much money?"

Li Guolou robbed and said: "Why do I ask you, the money spent here is like running water, big brother is so easy to be. Which hero's face and name are not bought with money. What the hell is Huang Tianba! The romance There are millions of words in the book, but you can tell me which thing he did by himself. Of course, there are some reliable things in the book, that is, women will automatically come to your door. I let you do it, just because I like you. There are plenty of people who can earn their own living, are poor and desperate, and dare to go ahead, I want this kind of person to be my big brother, if you kick me on the road, someone will follow me."

Wang Wu suddenly realized, and said: "Oh! After a long time, you think my family is rich."

Li Guolou snorted and sighed: "I'll figure it out, and only you are willing to spend some money to do it first, to prop up the banner first, and I will figure out a way for the money in the future. Now the country has no money, and the yamen have no money. Those officials only If you are willing to hold money by yourself, you are not willing to pay for such a thankless thing. That's why it's our turn to take the lead. When they understand, this is a lucrative business. We have already controlled the entire capital, and no one else I want to get involved. At that time, you have already thrown away your own business and focused on being a big brother, and your daily income makes you wonder who is raising it."

Wang Wu grabbed Li Guolou's neck and said angrily, "Say! Who raised you, Wang Bazi dares to eat my tofu."

The two fought for a while before giving up.Others don't care, everyone here is like this, they like to try their hands and feet.

Li Guolou lowered his voice and said: "The militia is a brand-new organization. There are one or two hundred people who come up. I don't want those brothers from the gangsters. I want all of them to be innocent and capable of fighting and killing. It is our responsibility to train these people into trusted followers. The main body of the city cannot be rotten. I don’t care about it when I go down, as long as I am obedient, I will take it in. The capital is so big that any bird can find a place to stay. I can guarantee that your annual income will be more than those princes.”

Wang Wu listened to it, nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Impossible, the prince's annual salary is 1 taels of silver, how can I compare with them."

Li Guolou rolled his eyes at Wang Wu and said, "Why is Wang Wu serious with me? I'm just a metaphor. The princes still have villas and businesses that don't pay taxes. We can't compare with them anyway, but they are all moths of the Qing Empire. Sooner or later the Qing Empire will be crushed by them."

Wang Wu was dumbfounded, glared at Li Guolou angrily, and said, "Fake foreign devil, you are so reactionary! Are you a spy sent by the British Empire? You want to establish a new government in the capital."

Li Guolou snapped back and said, "You're not a good guy either. You say you're Han all the time. What do you mean? I don't know."

Wang Wu replied: "I have never said anything good about the Nian Army, nor have I said anything against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Guolou said: "Didn't you say now, don't pretend to be a loyal minister of the Qing Empire with me."

Both of them have dark hearts, they look at each other, and there are some things that don't need to be said.

Wang Wu said: "Xiao Lizi, do you think the Nian Army can accomplish anything? I heard there are hundreds of thousands of them?"

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "What era is it now? Those Nian troops have no support from foreigners, relying on the captured local guns and cannons, and relying on their familiarity with the geography, they keep going around in circles. My uncle has changed his strategy and kept building The fortress, before long, will crush the Nian army to death in a narrow circle, just watch."

Wang Wu snorted coldly, and said, "Put the Li family's face in gold, don't be like Seng Gelinqin who doesn't even have a head."

Li Guolou was furious, he strangled Wang Wu's neck, and shouted: "Wang Bazi, how dare you curse my uncle."

The two started a new round of competition, this time Li Guolou was not relentless, he pressed Wang Wu to the floor and won the victory.

After the two finished drinking tea, they walked out of Beihai Martial Arts Hall. Li Guolou said, "Say hello to your master and give him a gift. Don't drag him into this business. If he comes in, you Those senior fellows who are in the past will not obey you in the future. Fighting in the nest is what the Han people like to do most, and I don’t want to see you killing each other in the future.”

Wang Wu shuddered, stared at Li Guolou in horror, and said, "Xiao Lizi, will it be so serious to set up a militia?"

Li Guolou sighed: "I'm afraid that people's hearts are not enough. Now I worship my elder brother Yao Cuo, but the person in charge is my second brother Wu Defu. It's okay now, one is in charge and the other is in charge of outside, but it's hard to say in the future." No, I won’t fight with them. If they fight on their own, which side do you think I’m on? So let’s do our own thing well, you just grab those backbones, this is your capital to gain a foothold in the capital, outsiders In fact, I recognize you as the eldest brother, do you understand? They are actually outsiders, staying in the yamen, and you still don’t know who the capital belongs to in the future?"

Wang Wu immediately understood that the person Li Guolou believed in was still him, and he wanted to promote him to the seat of the big brother. Yao Cuo and Wu Defu were actually sitting on the white road, and they obviously couldn't take the seat of the big brother of the underworld. He took the ready-made Mafia Big Brother seat.But he is sitting on the seat of the underworld boss in the capital, and one day he will become the real underworld boss.

Wang Wu is a smart man, and Li Guolou is not stupid. The two smiled knowingly. The two ambitious young people looked into the distance, where there is an unknown world waiting for them.

Li Guolou said: "I still have to borrow money, so I won't have dinner with you. Tomorrow, you first find out a hundred brothers, and come with me to meet the eldest brother and second brother. Remember! If you secure your seat, the two of us To avoid suspicion, you can't play together all day. From now on, you can directly ask the eldest brother and the second brother for instructions. You and I are just chess pieces in the hands of the eldest brother and the second brother. We can't move around by ourselves. Next, we will start fighting, and I will get you the best flint. Arm yourself with guns. Fists and foreign guns are equally important, and the militia can be invincible. We don’t want to kill one hundred enemies and lose fifty, so don’t always use your big knife.”

Wang Wu was very angry, and shouted: "I'm not invulnerable, I dare to rush into the musket formation. Only a fool who has drunk ghost charms can do this kind of thing."

Li Guolou joked, "The Nian Army Lai Wenguang you admire likes to do this kind of thing. I'm afraid you will be poisoned by him, so I remind you first."

Wang Wufei kicked his feet, and cursed: "Get out of your bastard, dare to expose my old background, I am your real second brother."

Li Guolou laughed, patted the butt that was kicked by Wang Wu, and waved: "See you tomorrow, good wine and good food, big brother's treat. But, I gave the money, after all, this deal It's our brother who contributes money and effort, as long as you know it in your heart."

Wang Wu waved his hand to say goodbye to Li Guolou. They had also discussed their life plans in ordinary times. After all, this militia business was a result of the nonsense they talked about while drinking, and it was not an unfounded nonsense.

The Qing Empire now relies on the militia for everything, and Li Hongzhang's Huai Army actually evolved from the militia.As long as you have the money to organize a militia first, you will be able to exchange for status and honor in the future.This way was not conceived by Li Guolou. Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang have all succeeded in this way.They are doing big things and spending big money, but Li Guolou is not as courageous as them, and the successful experience can be used for reference.

Li Guolou organized the first militia group in the capital. At the beginning, there were only a few hundred people. Li Guolou knew in his heart that he would spend at least tens of thousands of taels of money.This is just a prototype, and there will be thousands of people in the future.If you want to control the entire capital, you will spend at least 5 to 10 taels of silver a year, and maybe more than [-] taels of silver.There will be millions of taels of silver in return, and he has made a deal.

Li Guolou grinned ferociously, he was imagining how his fellow "fake foreign devils" would be slaughtered by him, those who drank the blood of the Qing Empire, only he could rule them.The fake foreign devil who likes to pretend to be big and pretends to be superior to others, when he meets his nemesis, he can only bow his head and accept his fate.
