Chapter 171: The Country Is Like This (1)
87_87379After returning to Beijing, Li Dacheng began to train in basic skills while waiting for news from the three eastern provinces.
Kung fu, kung fu, it takes hard work to have real kung fu, how did Qian Laoba's pair of iron palms come out, starting from inserting beans and grabbing the jar, how powerful Qian Laoba's palm is, there is no way to test, but on the battlefield, Li Dacheng has seen Qian Laoba's ability.
Through the clothes, the deltoid muscles of a person are torn alive, which is the record of Qian Laoba; The one-meter-deep water tank is filled with iron sand, and Qian Laoba's vertical palm can be inserted at least 50 centimeters; Eighty pounds of small mouth jar, grabbed with five fingers, he can hold on for nearly twenty minutes; This is Qian Laoba's kung fu, the invincible kung fu of hand-to-hand combat.
It took several years, more than ten years to insert beans, insert iron sand, shoot masonry, grab the jar, hit the wooden stake, and train the muscles and bones like steel, this is the essence of killing skills, the killing moves in kung fu are nothing more than stabbing the throat, inserting the eyes, hitting the ribs, the routines are not the same, but the cultivation of basic skills is the same, without iron hands, iron claws, iron fists, iron legs, iron bones, this kung fu is just a formality.
Wang Wu, Cheng Tinghua, Liang Zhenpu, Li Cunyi, these martial arts masters, compared with Qian Laoba's basic skills, the gap can't be calculated, if Qian Laoba's mind can be more dexterous, I am afraid that the four of them will join forces, and they will die under his iron palms.
It's not that Wang Wu and others are not as good as Qian Laoba's skills, but their efforts in basic skills are far inferior to Qian Laoba, Li Dacheng asked how long Qian Laoba has practiced basic skills, and Qian Laoba's answer is to practice every day since he remembers, this is kung fu, real kung fu, and hard work.
Li Dacheng's injuries on his body, although he can't move much. But it's still okay to practice the basic skills, inserting beans, it sounds very simple, but Li Dacheng inserted it for more than an hour, and his hands became red and swollen. If you want to be like Qian Laoba, one plug is half a cylinder of iron sand, which is out of reach!
"Yo...... Second master, are you still injured yet?
Don't be tired, let people see, how is this hand no different from cooking? ”
glanced at Gui Shun, who was not careful. Li Dacheng also lamented the difficulty of this basic skill, the basic skill cannot be practiced blindly, and if it is not done well, the practice will be wasted, and motioned to the girl of the Sun family to bring the decoction medicine configured by the famous doctor of the Beijing Orthopedics Department, and Li Dacheng soaked his hands while soaking his hands. While looking at Gui Shun, who was not careful.
During this time, in order to have a relationship with the foreign devils, Gui Shun also worked hard, he was Belle Ye, naturally he couldn't wear foreign clothes in Beijing, foreign dresses could not be worn, foreign top hats could not be worn, Gui Shun could only work ornaments.
Pocket watches, watches, civilization sticks, sunglasses, gloves, silk handkerchiefs, these chicken bits and pieces hung all over the body. Gui Shun is also a little nondescript.
"Shhh...... Brother Gui, didn't you try the taste of a foreign woman? ”
Practicing basic skills is a hard-working business, and your hands are immersed in hot liquid. The taste was not pleasant, and his hands were not happy, so Li Dacheng also came to Gui Shun for recreation.
"Second master, if you don't hit someone, you don't expose your face, you don't have anything like you!
What about jokes, our guys?
Don't provoke me, I'll play one with my fingers to show you. Do you want to practice this like us, and want to play with a foreign woman with your fingers, right? ”
While pinching the smoke. While reciprocating Li Dacheng's ridicule, the words were also an experience for Gui Shun.
"No serious nasty embryo!"
Serving Li Dacheng during this time. The identity of the Sun family girl in Baylor Mansion is also unique, Gui Shun is a good friend, because of Wanru, Gui Shun also let the Sun family girl, listening to the ridicule between the two, the Sun family girl scolded tigerly, and couldn't stay anymore.
"Second lady, are you afraid that our second master will go out to engage in foreign women? Men are like this, just do it! Anyway, we don't suffer, do we? ”
During this period of time, he followed Li Hongzhang to play foreign devils, and Gui Shun mixed up in the market, which can be regarded as a long experience, and at the negotiation table, sometimes it is no different from the market, the same has to be careful, and the same is anxious to scold the mother.
Because of these, Gui Shun also took up the old business of verbal competition, but he had no opponent! In Baylor House, in Jingshi, who doesn't respect him? can be an opponent, except for one Li Dacheng, who is the tiger girl of the Sun family.
"Skee...... There's nothing to do with the two of you, so stay here! ”
Gui Shun, a second lady, shouted the girl of the Sun family to the point of red-facedness, took a sip, and the girl of the Sun family swayed away.
"Second master, look at the two steps of the second lady, just like the willows by the lake swaying in the wind, just like teaching, right? The steps of that girl back then were still taught by our masters! Learn the steps of the palace. ”
Gui Shun made up the knife behind her back, making the Sun family girl stumble, looking at her pungent appearance when she looked back, she should have hated Gui Shun.
"Really gone? Brother Gui, get us bags of cigarettes. ”
Seeing the girl of the Sun family passing through the moon gate, Li Dacheng's eyes lit up, after returning from the Jinmen, because of coughing up blood, his daily life was restricted, and he ate and drank without wine and meat, which was not a taste in his mouth.
"Don't! Your injury matters! ”
Gui Shun had done it before to make cigarettes for Second Master Li, and as a result, Wanru and the Sun family girls were blamed, and he couldn't afford to carry this black pot.
"That's it! How's the secret talk going? ”
As soon as the Sun family girl left, the people around her also followed, and there were no idle people around her, so Li Dacheng also asked about business.
Li Hongzhang said that he listened to Li Dacheng, but it was impossible for Li Dacheng to tell Li Hongzhang what to do, and he couldn't command even if he was really in command, Li Hongzhang was not a three-year-old child, he had his own principles in doing things, and he expected Li Hongzhang to obey his words like Gui Shun, it was impossible, and Li Dacheng could only say in general terms about the secret contract, and it depended on Li Hongzhang on how to do it.
"Second brother, Li Hongzhang, this old man is really capable!
In his words, the big names of the foreign devils Yihe Foreign Company, Dehe Foreign Company, and Qichang Foreign Company have all arrived, and the representatives of the peace talks of Britain, the United States and Germany are no different from the three grandsons in front of Lao Li. ”
Following Li Hongzhang's preparation for the secret agreement, Gui Shun really gained a lot of knowledge, and the foreign devils who shouted at him on weekdays were called well-behaved in front of Li Hongzhang. This ability is indeed admirable.
"Brother Gui, do you know why foreign devils are afraid of Li Hongzhang?"
The result of the secret agreement was basically a foregone conclusion, and the entry of Tsarist Russia into the three eastern provinces of Koudong had become a trend of unity and horizontal for the Qing Dynasty. As long as Li Hongzhang follows the steps arranged by himself, he will not be able to prevent Britain, the United States and Germany from being involved in hundreds of millions of wealth, and some people may not be able to influence the political situation of these three countries.
"Is this...... The foreign devil is not afraid of Li Hongzhang. But Li Hongzhang can sign a contract with them, Li Hongzhang has a lot of interests in his hands, and they are afraid that Li Hongzhang will not follow their path.
Second, is that right? ”
If he can say this, Gui Shun will be qualified to lead the foreign affairs of the Qing Dynasty. Nodding approvingly, Li Dacheng gave Gui Shun a thumbs up.
"Brother Gui, it's not simple! In a word!
It is the word interest that foreign devils fancy, don't look at the appearance of foreign devils' envoys in our territory, but most of the foreign devils who can come to our side are not in their country, except for a small handful of envoys in China. There aren't many powerful characters!
The political situation in the country of foreign devils is different from ours, and in Western countries, the emperor and prince are like that. The real ones who have the final say are those merchants who hold a lot of silver in their hands, and money can lead to the gods, and those big merchants in the West, who can control the political situation of a country with the money in their hands. It was the queens and emperors of their countries who met these big merchants. and give three points.
To do foreign affairs in Daqing, you only need to be able to contact these big merchants in the West. There is no disadvantage!
What is a big business? Bankers of Europe! Industrialists in the United States!
How can European bankers co-opt them? They just put money in print, and they can be won over by borrowing!
If you talk about industrialists, the United States is second to none, and these people also have an inexplicable relationship with European bankers, the two major industries of oil and steel are the key, and oil is lamp oil, which can drive ships and trains in addition to lamp oil; Steel is even simpler, shipbuilding, artillery, railroad laying, all use steel.
Brother Gui, after hearing this, what should you do if you preside over foreign affairs in the future? ”
When it comes to businessmen who can dominate the political situation, it is none other than European bankers, and the Qing Dynasty has such a need, leaving aside the secret covenant, Li Dacheng became Guishun's teacher.
"Hmm...... According to you, it is to borrow money, build ships, and build railways......"
Li Dacheng understands what he means, Gui Shun naturally understands it, but his understanding is a false understanding, not a true understanding, the stakes here, Gui Shun is afraid that he will not understand it for a while, but Gui Shun does not need to understand the root cause of this, as long as the general direction is right.
"If you borrow money, can you only build ships and build railways? There are more things that money can do, and in the secret talks, Brother Gui still has to learn more, and you will understand these things slowly.
Tell me what Li Hongzhang talked about with foreign devils? ”
"Oh...... Talking with the British about the purchase of ships, building ships, and repairing docks, listening to Li Hongzhang's tone, he will throw out tens of millions of taels of silver at once, this is borrowing money to build ships, right?
Li Hongzhang talked mostly about shipbuilding and railways with the Americans, and about guns and railways with the Germans. Second, I see what you mean.
The contract has to pay compensation, so we have to borrow it if we don't have any money! Those Rausch bankers in Europe have money, and they want to lend it to us, and when we have money, they will do business with the big businessmen of foreign devils, and we will get great benefits in this circle! ”
Listening to Gui Shun's fake understanding, Li Dacheng sighed, how can the contract loan be so simple, and the loss in it is sovereignty! But these things, Gui Shun doesn't understand, it's good that he can understand the interests in it.
"That's the case, but we can't promise foreign devils everything, loans are conditional, mortgage taxes, yes! It is absolutely impossible to lease or cede the country!
Brother Gui, this is the key, remember! No matter how the secret agreement is discussed, you can't lease or cede the land, this matter involves life and death!
And ......"
Just as Li Dacheng was about to make additions, Gu Qixing hurriedly ran in, and when he heard Gu Qixing's footsteps, Li Dacheng also pressed the conversation.
"Second master, it's not good, General Shengjing Zengqi signed nine secret treaties with Tsarist Russia, which caused a big uproar in the whole country!"
Listening to Gu Qixing's statement, Li Dacheng was stunned for a long time, since he came back from Jinmen, he has been waiting for the good news from the three eastern provinces, but the good news did not come back, but made Zengqi smack the whole country's big mouth!
"! Dahan is too slow to do things, and a Zengqi hasn't been slaughtered until now......"
scolded angrily, Li Dacheng put the matter aside, regardless of whether he had nine secret treaties or ninety secret treaties, and waited for the plague outbreak in the Russian army in the three eastern provinces, and then talked about the secret covenant!
In his words, he also made Gui Shun and Gu Qixing stupid, Changshun's assassination has not yet been completed, who would have thought that this case was actually committed by his own family.
"Second Master...... Changshun is our people......"
"Hmmm! Changshun is in the way in the three eastern provinces, and he can't stay! ”
"Master! You're a great man! Changshun, you said kill it?
Kill it, kill it! Lao Gu, don't mention this matter again! ”
Changshun's assassination, Gui Shun also heard Li Hongzhang chatter, but he didn't take it seriously, he didn't expect that the person was really his own second master who couldn't be provoked, Changshun didn't die, and Gui Shun didn't have much to do with it, if he died, he died, just don't leak the news.
"This ...... Alas!
Second master, now Lord Belle is also presiding over foreign affairs, do we have anything to say about this? ”
sighed heavily, Gu Qixing was also helpless, Second Master Li was too deep, he didn't know anything about this matter, he sighed helplessly, and after this, Gu Qixing said his thoughts. (To be continued).
