Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C179 Both sides prepare for war

In the huge wooden warehouse, two hundred small bald warriors stood straight up like bean curd, each holding onto a Gun's shiny bayonet with their hands, shining with a cold light. These young lad dressed in the military uniform at the time had their heads raised high, their eyes filled with worship, while Xiao Letian stood on top of a big wooden chest and passionately encouraged them.

"You probably haven't forgotten that the ferocious Japanese thugs in the Naha Harbor massacred us Chinese, stole our property, and insulted our women. At that time, our ten small formations in the city were just like lonely boats in a storm, weak and powerless …"

"Fortunately, we made it through. When we faced an enemy that was several times stronger than us, we didn't retreat. We went against the current and smashed all the rocks into pieces … In the end, we won! "

"And now, I have to regretfully tell everyone, we are once again trapped in a heavy encirclement. Without any reinforcements, a company will have to resist the onslaught of enemies ten or twenty times stronger than us, I, Xiao Letian, am sorry for you!"

"Sorry, my good lads... You are going to war again! "

This is not sorry at all, this is Xiao Letian's declaration of war. These two hundred young men were on the verge of going crazy. They subconsciously wanted to shout "Long live the young man", but the result was that all the officers suppressed their voices.

"Quiet, everyone shut up, aren't you afraid of attracting enemies? Have you forgotten about your training? Later on, one person will be punished with fifty push-ups! " Saying that, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun, the two glorious Company Commander, walked over to Xiao Letian in big strides.

"Rest assured, my lord. From today onwards, our two nails will be firmly nailed to the ground of the Qing Dynasty. So what if our nails are twenty times stronger?" A hundred times? "Brothers, break everything up for you …"

"Good job!" "Be prepared, it will be up to you guys tomorrow!"

When Fan Lian saw this, he gave up on trying to persuade Xiao Letian. With this posture, Xiao Letian would probably not even take half a step back. Tanggu was about to bleed again.

"Mr. Xiao, my brother came to find me again just now. His words contained a hint of danger, tomorrow's banquet must be a Hongmen Banquet, you have to think twice, if not we won't go … …"

After all, Fan Lian had never seen the scene of the Tyrant Blood Battlefield, and his mind was still as cautious as a merchant's. Whenever he came into contact with an official, he would immediately think of retreating.

Xiao Letian did not want to retreat, but when he realized that those shameless beasts would poison his own woman, he became extremely angry, as he understood the true nature of society. Eating human beings was not limited to the ruling class, and the parasites that had already been enslaved and their thoughts twisted were even more so the vanguard of eating human beings.

Xiao Letian was confident that he could settle the matters in the Manchu dynasty Hall, because from history, he had already analyzed what Ci Xi, the Ceng Guofan brothers, Weng Tonghe and the others wanted, and because he knew them, he could target them.

However, the turtle tortoise below these sharks was really annoying. These huge interest groups made up of corrupt officials, bullies, and black and white people were very stubborn and perverted. Jiao Si'er, Sun Sanhu, Huang Liu, including the dead High Scholar Huang, Ma Bao and the rest, all kinds of ordinary people were there. These people, who never leave their names in history books, affect the course of a society.

"Manager Fan, you don't understand, you really don't understand. It could be said that people were not so much afraid of tigers as they were afraid of fangs and claws. For those powerful figures in the imperial court, even if they wanted to eat humans, they would have to spread out a snow-white napkin and place clean tableware on top. At the very least, they would have to have some face. "

"But these claws and fangs are different. They don't want face. They pounce on the bodies of the commoners, tear their way through your throat, drink your blood, and at the end, spit on your corpse. This is the saying, "The King of Hell likes to see little ghosts and is hard to deal with. Do you know that if it wasn't for you making a mistake, your daughter Hu Niu would have been killed …"

When he talked about Hu Niu, old shopkeeper's eyes turned cloudy. He was so angry that his chest expanded and contracted violently. Alright, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Just do your best, this old man I have no other skills. Let me see how much money I can gather for you.

Fan Lian was right, he couldn't change whatever this Young Master wanted to do. In any case, he had to be right. The only support he could provide was to earn money.

There were already ten silver furnaces on the Taibai Top, six silver furnaces hidden outside their mouths, each month there were more than a million of them. Not only that, Fan Lian was now extremely interested in the business of the bank, and needed to borrow money with all his might. In any case, the business circles of the Tanggu had already been conquered, and with the fear of the Gun guards, who would dare not to return the money?

In the current Letian Firm, physical trade was just a sham, it was all just for the Qing Dynasty to see. And all the trades and trades that the private Letian Firm did, were all crimes of decapitation, this foreign bank actually already had the prototype of a national central bank.

Putting everything aside, just the right to forge coins is already an eternal gold mine.

Now that Young Master was about to rebel, his father-in-law had to follow him no matter what, even if it meant that Fan Lian couldn't do it, but could in regards to making money, ah. The old man looked at the two hundred men standing in front of him, and muttered in his heart, "If we want these people to work hard, it's not necessary to spend money, I'll transfer 100,000 silver first …" Thinking about that, Fan Lian turned around and left.

How would he know what a modern new army was? The people under Xiao Letian's command were not gathered together for the sake of money from the very start. They had already personally experienced what was called the revival of the nation, and they truly felt what was called the power of the nation.

Everyone had forgotten their own little self and their little home. Xiao Letian did not get a single point of reward, nor did he use the victory to boost his morale, he merely stood in the middle of the crowd and charged together with everyone. He told everyone that "we are all Chinese".

Chinese, this is such a hollow and heavy term ah. Thousands of years of history had given these three words a thick enough soul, but unfortunately, nationalism had not sprouted from here.

But today, Xiao Letian had taught a lesson, a great lesson of nationalism, to these Chinese who had stayed in Ryukyu and stayed away from their homeland for hundreds of years. I don't know how it happened, but when I meet the black mass of Japanese's army, as long as Xiao Letian goes up on the mountain and crazily shouts that this is a war between Chinese, all the Chinese will come with me.

Everyone forgot about life and death. Even the extremely selfish merchants were actually able to charge into the crowd, risking their lives to charge forward. At that moment, everyone forgot about themselves.

Terrible nationalism, respectable nationalism. If a country doesn't have that spirit, you just wait for internal consumption. Just like the Great Qing.

This with a secret decree personally infiltrated the Green Camp and met with the few deputy Generals guarding the entrance one by one.

"General Wang, you have to think this through. You have seen the secret decree, and it can't be more than real. Right now, there are more than 2500 soldiers in the Allied Battalion, how many can you bring?"

"General Li, continue to think, you are the oldest and have the oldest qualifications. With Ma Bao gone, you have a chance, don't you want to go up another step?"

"General Ding! You are also a dignified seven foot man, you must be grateful to Ma Bao. Are you not compassionate at all to the orphans and widows he left behind? Don't you want to take revenge for Ma Bao? Xiao Letian is your sworn enemy … "

Sun Sanhu looked at the hesitant military officers in front of him, and was so angry that his nose was about to go crooked, "Good, good, good. Are you guys just going to repay the Emperor's kindness like this? What about your conscience? Are you all going to let the dogs eat it? Are you all waiting for me to feed it to you? "

"My lord, please calm down, calm down. It's not that our brothers are not willing to work hard, it's just that we have the heart but not the strength …" Ever since Ma Bao died in summer, even if our group fell into the hands of the empress, we didn't have a new officer, nor did we have any brothers who died in calamity. Recently, our monthly salary had stopped because of that, we can't even keep the pot boiling! "

"That's right, that's right, there was a riot in Tanggu, the brothers in the camp died for over 500 families, and during that period of time, there were wives and children everywhere. "In the end, it was us living people who collected the money to get rid of them …"

"As for the salary, we have no way to explain it. Even now, the imperial court still hasn't sent the new chief over, so we don't know who we should look for. The brothers drink porridge everyday, so we can't even lift guns, much less fight …"

The more Sun Sanhu listened, the more frustrated he became. What the hell was this? "Are they even Daqing's soldiers? Why are all of them beggars?" It's enough, you bunch of good-for-nothings. You actually starved to death guarding such a large dry dock in the Tanggu? "You guys have lost a lot of face …"

All of the officers looked respectful, but in their hearts, they were unsatisfied. All of them thought to themselves that if we dared to make a move against the merchants, wouldn't Xiao Letian barge in? You didn't see that riot in the summer, but this guy really dared to shoot and suppress it.

We don't dare to reject your words. I just want you to reward us with some firewood and rice noodles so that we can have a meal and a bowl of hot soup. Furthermore, don't joke around with us for being cowards, don't underestimate Xiao Letian, the guards under his command are not weak people, they are not easy to deal with … "

Sun Sanhu curled his lips in anger, and ignored the latter half of the sentence, "Enough, don't embarrass yourself, you guys are at least two thousand men, but you're actually scared by a few hundred of the guards. A bunch of pitiful bugs … "I won't lie to you guys, I have five thousand silver taels here. You guys should first buy some meat for us brothers. No matter what, we should stew a pot of pork and cabbage powder and wait for my orders when we're full …"

"Motherf * cker, do your job well and give me face. When the time comes, I will have plenty of chances to make a fortune. You must know that the Letian Firm has gold and silver that are like mountains, I will give it all to you when the time comes …"

The few deputy Generals watched as Sun Sanhu left the camp, and when they turned back, they looked at each other with bitter expressions. Finally, it was the oldest General Li who sighed and slapped her thigh, "Who cares about that much, we'll take out silver to sell meat and vegetables first, the brothers are so hungry that we're not even human anymore, we'll have to eat our fill no matter what!"

"Fuck, no matter what, we are still the emperor's servants. If we don't do it, then we will just rebel …" "Ai, what kind of world is this? Forcing people to die, forcing people to die!"
