179 Both sides prepare for battle
In the huge wooden warehouse, the little 200 bald soldiers stood in a straight tofu block, and the shiny bayonets of their foreign guns flashed with cold light. These young men in the uniforms of the American military at that time all looked up high, and their eyes were full of admiration, and Xiao Lotian was standing on a large wooden box and excitedly encouraging them.
"You should not have forgotten the hideous-faced Japanese thugs in Naha Harbor, who slaughtered us Han Chinese, robbed us property, and insulted our women, when our ten small military formations in the city were as fragile and helpless as lonely boats in the storm......"
"Thankfully, we survived, and when we faced an enemy several times our size, we did not flinch, and we went up the current, smashing all the stormy waves like a reef in a hurricane...... In the end, we won..."
"And now, I would like to regret to tell you that we are once again under siege, and the company without any reinforcements has to resist ten or even twenty times the enemy siege, I, Xiao Lotian, am sorry for you..."
"I'm sorry, my good boys...... You're going to war again..."
Where is this sorry, this is Xiao Letian's declaration of war. The two hundred young men were going crazy in a frenzy, and they subconsciously wanted to shout long live, and as a result, all the officers who were frightened suppressed their voices.
"Silence, silence, aren't you afraid of attracting enemies? Have you forgotten about the latent training? Turn around and punish each person with fifty push-ups..." Speaking of this, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun, the two glorious company commanders, strode in front of Xiao Letian.
"Please rest assured, my lord, our two nails will be nailed to death in the land of the Qing Dynasty from today, what about twenty times? What about a hundred times? Brothers, I will smash you into a qiē ......."
"Well done... Get ready, it's up to you tomorrow..."
Fan Yao saw that all the words of persuasion Xiao Letian here had given up, so he rushed to this posture Xiao Letian probably wouldn't back down even half a step, it's only been a few months... Tanggu is bleeding again.
"Mr. Xiao, just now my brother came to me again, he has already revealed a danger signal in and out of his words, tomorrow's banquet must be a Hongmen banquet, you have to think twice, or let's not go......"
After all, Fan Yao had never seen the scene of Naha's bloody battle, and his mind was still the cautiousness unique to businessmen, and the first thing that came to mind when dealing with the government was to back down.
Xiao Letian didn't want to retreat, when he found that those beasts with no shame and no lower limit actually poisoned their women, Xiao Letian was completely angry, he could see the true face of this society now, cannibalism is not only limited to the ruling class, those parasites who have been enslaved and whose thoughts have been distorted are the pioneers of cannibalism.
Xiao Letian is confident that he can settle the Qing Dynasty, because he has analyzed clearly from history what Cixi, Yi, including the Zeng Guofan brothers, Weng Tongyi and others want, and it is precisely because of this understanding that they can be targeted.
But these turtle kings under these big sharks are disgusted, and these huge interest groups composed of corrupt officials, domestic slaves and bullies, and various small characters in black and white are very stubborn and perverted. Jiao Si'er, Sun Sanhu, and Huang Liu, including people like Huang Juren, Ma Bao, and Braided Sun, who died before, are ordinary people of all shapes. These people, who will never leave their names in the history books, have influenced the direction of a society.
"Shopkeeper Fan, you don't understand, you really don't understand. It's not so much that people are afraid of tigers, but that people are afraid of minions. Those bigwigs in the court, even if they eat people, they have to put on a snow-white napkin, put on clean tableware, and at least have a face. ”
"But these minions are different, they don't have a face, they pounce on the people and tear them up, they gnaw your throat alive, they drink your blood dry, and finally they spit on your corpse. This is the saying that the king of Hades is so difficult to deal with, do you know that if it weren't for the yin and yang, your daughter Huniu would have been killed......"
Speaking of the tiger girl, the old shopkeeper's eyes were cloudy, his angry chest rose and fell violently, and he also knew what happened during the day today. "Okay, I won't persuade you anymore, you just let go of your hands and feet and do a big job, old man, I don't have any other skills, I'll see how much money I can get you first, and I have the ability to make money." ”
What Fan Yi said is right, he can't control what his uncle wants to do, anyway, it must be right. The support you can provide is to make money, and then make money.
Now the number of silver furnaces on the top of Taibai has reached ten, and the number of silver furnaces hidden outside the mouth has also reached six, and there are more than one million eagles privately minted every month. Not only that, but now Fan Yao is also very interested in the bank's business, and he is desperately borrowing loans with interest of one cent and two cents, anyway, the Tanggu business district has also been conquered, with the deterrence of the foreign gun guards, who else dares not to repay the money.
Now Lotte Bank, physical trade is simply a trick, it is all pretending to be for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the business done by Lotte Bank in private is all the sin of killing the head, and this foreign bank actually has the prototype of the national central bank.
If nothing else, this coinage right is already an inexhaustible gold mine.
Now my uncle is going to rebel, how can I keep up with my father-in-law, I can't do the work of playing with knives, but Fan Kao is good at making money, the old man looked at the two hundred majestic tigers in front of him, and muttered in his heart, "If you want these people to work hard, you can't do it without spending money, I'll transfer 100,000 taels of silver first......" Thinking of this, Fan Kao turned his head and left.
How did he know what a modern new army is, Xiao Letian's tiger ben did not gather for money from the beginning, these people were all pure gold that had been tempered by Naha's blood and fire. They have personally experienced what it means to rejuvenate the nation, and they have truly felt what the power of the nation is.
In the crowd of people who rushed forward like a tsunami, everyone forgot their ego and small family, Xiao Lotian did not open a reward of silver and two, and did not use the slaughter of the city after victory to boost morale, he just stood in the middle of the crowd, charged with everyone, and told everyone that 'we are all Chinese' such a clear fact.
Chinese, what an empty and heavy term. Thousands of years of history have given these three words a strong enough soul, but unfortunately nationalism did not take the lead from here.
But today, Xiao Lotian is in Ryukyu, in Naha, to teach these Chinese who have been far away from their homeland for hundreds of years, a big lesson in nationalism. I don't know how, when encountering the Japanese black oppressive military formation, as long as Xiao Lotian ascended the height and shouted that this is the war of the Chinese, all the Chinese will follow me.
Everyone forgot about life and death, even those businessmen who were extremely selfish on weekdays, they were able to rush into the crowd and forget about life and death, and at that moment everyone forgot about themselves.
Terrible nationalism, respectable nationalism, if a country does not have this spirit, you have to wait for internal friction. For example, the current Qing Dynasty.
Diametrically opposed to Xiao Letian's empty agitation was Sun Sanhu's pre-war mobilization, this guard with a knife with a secret order, personally infiltrated the green camp and met with several local generals stationed there one by one.
"General Wang, you have to think about it, you have also checked this secret order, it is absolutely true that it can't be true, now there are more than 2,500 soldiers in the Xietai camp, you can say how many you can bring out, right?"
"General Li, if you think about it again, you are the oldest and the oldest, Ma Bao, your opportunity is coming, don't you want to go one step further?"
"General Ding... You are also a dignified seven-foot man, Ma Bao is kind to you, you don't sympathize with the orphans and widows he left behind? Don't you want to avenge Ma Bao? Xiao Letian is your enemy who doesn't share the sky......
Sun Sanhu looked at the hesitant officers in front of him, and his nose was crooked: "Okay, okay, you are also the general of the Qing Dynasty? You repay the emperor's favor like this? What about your conscience? You can't let the dog eat it, and you are waiting for me to join you?"
When it came to this, the officers below could not help but reply: "Your Excellency, you are angry, you are angry, it's not that the brothers are unwilling to give their lives, but they are really powerless...... Since Ma Bao's death in the summer, even if our group of people have fallen into the hands of the stepmother, there is no new chief, the brothers who died have not even burned the silver, and recently even the monthly salary has stopped, and we can no longer open the pot..."
"That is, there was a riot in Tanggu, more than 500 brothers died in the camp, this is 500 families, during that time, there were wives and children every day, the old man and the old lady came to the camp to cry bitterly, begging to burn and bury the silver, but did Shangfeng take care of us? In the end, it was us who were the living who pooled the money to send them away......"
"As for the salary, we can't say anything, the court has not sent a new governor so far, we don't know who to go to, the brothers drink gruel every day, let alone fight, and they can't even lift their guns......"
The more Sun Sanhu listened, the more depressed he became, and he said in his heart, what kind of stuff is this? Are these still soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, why are they all a group of people called Huazi?" "Enough, you group of wrecks guarding such a big water and dry wharf in Tanggu, you are actually hungry? You are ashamed......
The officers below were respectful on the surface, but they were also unconvinced in their hearts, and they said in their hearts that you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, if we dare to attack the businessmen now, then Xiao Letian will not be able to hit the door? You didn't see the riot in the summer, this guy really dared to shoot and suppress it.
"My lord's words, we don't dare to dismiss them, I just ask my lords to reward some charcoal money and rice and flour money first, so that the brothers can have a full meal and drink a bowl of hot soup...... In addition, don't laugh at us for being cowardly, don't underestimate Xiao Letian, those guards under him are really not vegetarians, and they are not easy to deal with......"
Sun Sanhu pursed his lips angrily, and he didn't listen to the second half of the sentence at all, "Okay, don't be ashamed, you guys are more than 2,000 old men, and you actually frightened hundreds of foreign guards, a group of poor worms...... I don't lie to you with empty words, I have five thousand taels of silver tickets here, you buy some meat for the brothers to eat first, why do you have to stew a pot of pork and cabbage vermicelli, so that the brothers are full and wait for my order......"
"Damn, you work hard, give me a long face, and when the time comes, there will be a chance to be promoted and make a fortune, you must know that the gold and silver in Lotte are like mountains, and they will be distributed to you when the time comes......"
Several generals watched Sun Sanhu leave the camp, and several people looked at each other with bitter faces, and finally the old General Li sighed and slapped his thigh: "Don't care about him so much, first sell meat and vegetables with silver, the brothers are not hungry anymore, and they have to eat enough when they die..."
"Damn, how can we say that we are also the emperor's minions, and if we don't do it, we will rebel...... Hey, what kind of world is this, forcing people to die, forcing people to die..."R405
