Chapter 797: Turbulent Years

Outrageous! Outrageous! That old puppet is really too deceitful! ”

As soon as Aunt Xu returned to Xu Mengxi's small courtyard, she heard her father being furious in the hall, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Daddy, what's going on?" Makes Daddy so angry? ”

"It's not that Zhang Yuangong's old man is angry."

Xu Mengxi blew his beard and glared: "That old man actually wants you to be his granddaughter-in-law, if that's the case, if he doesn't ride on the old man's head, the old man will never let him succeed." ”

Aunt Xu couldn't help but say, "Daddy, my daughter has decided not to marry again in this life, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

“......!”

Having a smart daughter is not necessarily a good thing.

Xu Mengxi blinked weakly, and said, "Daughter! The Zhang family will never be able to go, but... But there are still many people who propose marriage, you can take a look first. ”

Since Aunt Xu returned to the Xu family, some people have come to the door to propose.

This made Xu Mengxi surprised and delighted!

When Aunt Xu was young, it was no exaggeration to say that as long as she was right, she would have come to mention her relatives.

But now that Aunt Xu has passed the age of cardamom, the man who matches her has already been married, and some of her children are in their teens, and those who come to propose marriage are seven or eight years younger than Aunt Xu, or even ten years old.

There is no way.

Aunt Xu's appearance is still beautiful, and the key lies in the wealth and status of the Xu family.

Many people are still very willing to marry the Xu family.

That Zhang Yuangong really had his sons married, so he simply proposed his grandson to propose marriage.

Xu Mengxi felt that he had delayed his daughter, and he also wanted to redeem all this.

Aunt Xu just shook her head and told him with a firm look that it was impossible not to think about it.

Xu Mengxi glanced at her and asked cautiously, "Daughter, do you like Guo Dan?" ”

Aunt Xu said very helplessly: "How can my father think like this, how can my daughter like a married man?" The reason why my daughter stayed in Yinuo Yaxing was just because she was interested in that job, and for no other reason, my daughter now feels very satisfied, able to stay by her father's side, take care of Rong'er, and be able to do what she likes. If you get married, your daughter will never consider it. ”

"Alright! Since you don't want to, then Daddy will refuse them, and Daddy won't mention it again. ”

Xu Mengxi knew that her daughter had a personality and what she decided, and no one could change it, no, except for Guo Dan, only Guo Dan changed Aunt Xu's mind several times.

......

The successful listing of Marseille shares is only the beginning of the merger of Guo Dan and Wanli.

There's still a very long road ahead of the merger.

The dental store immediately entered a state of unprecedented busyness.

Begin to integrate other industries.

And the first step in integration is separation.

If everything is crumpled together, then there is no joint-stock system, and all industries must be classified first, and then integrated.

First and foremost, of course, is transportation.

Without transportation, there is nothing.

Guo Dan plans to integrate all warehouses, fleets, pastures, and shipbuilding industries into a group called "Fengchi", which will be headquartered in Linqing, and appoint Li Tong as general manager.

It is also planned to separate the money bank and the letter bank from the tooth bank, and then merge the share transaction into the money bank, and merge the shares into the letter bank, named "Fangyuan letter bank".

Because the word Fang Yuan is associated with mathematics, Guo Dan simply named Xin Xing after Chen Fangyuan.

The name of the money bank has not changed, and it is still a promise money bank.

And the tooth store itself is only the business of investment and operation.

In addition, he also plans to set up Yinuo Education, acquire five guns in the Kaifeng Mansion Printing Workshop, and also plan to acquire the production line of Weihui Mansion's Wenfang Sibao.

In this way, it is convenient to have a shareholding system at the time.

So far, it's all just a plan.

This project is huge, for example, Yinuoya will assign half of the financial department to Xinxing, only retain its own core business, and non-core business can be directly handed over to Xinxing to handle, including insurance and some accounts of the bank.

All of them have reached a cooperation agreement with Shin Yuk and have hired Shin Heng on a long-term basis.

At the same time, however, the external situation is changing.

......

Luzon.

Manila.

"Mr. Martin, you... What is this for? ”

On the city wall, a greasy uncle with eyes, watching a large number of residents being driven out of the city, listening to the cry coming from below, couldn't help but ask a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes in horror.

The middle-aged man, who was called Martin, said in broken Chinese: "Mr. Wu, don't be afraid, I did this only because the city was too crowded to manage, so I let them live outside the city." Of course, Mr. Wu can still live in the city. ”

"It's... That's it! ”

The greasy uncle swallowed a mouthful and trembled and arched his hand, "Thank you, Mr. Martin." ”

At this time, a Francois stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, there is nothing wrong with the number of iron pots, all of them are of the highest quality. ”

Martin laughed when he heard this, and said to the greasy uncle: "We are good friends, and I will not treat my friends badly." ”

As he spoke, the assistant next to him nodded.

I saw two dark-skinned servants come forward carrying a whole box of silver.

Uncle Greasy looked at the silver and his eyes lit up, "Thank you, Mr. Martin." ”

But when he got down the city wall, the greasy uncle scolded fiercely: "This Francois is really too deceitful, if it is really too crowded, why doesn't he expel the big cannibals and Japanese people from the city, why do he expel our Han people." ”

A slightly younger man beside him couldn't help but say: "We Han people are really not angry, so many people don't dare to resist, look at the big cannibals, they have been resisting, but the Franji people are very kind to those big cannibals who have taken refuge in them." ”

Another middle-aged man in his thirties said, "Okay, okay, don't scold the two of you, be careful of being heard, let's go back and talk about it." ”

These three people are Tong Li, Wu Guansheng and Chen Xusheng who infiltrated Luzon.

Because the Francophone people don't have any iron-making industry here, they all rely on the import of iron pots from the Ming Dynasty, these Francoji people dare to play tricks on anyone, but they dare not be too arrogant to the iron pot merchants, they want to colonize everywhere, but they need weapons, which all need iron.

And the iron pot of Daming is in this whole area, and it is definitely a glimpse of the mountains.

Therefore, Wu Guansheng, with the support of Guo Dan, pretended to be an iron pot merchant and quickly gained their trust.

Back at the residence, Wu Guansheng was a little flustered, and said: "Head, last time they have collected a large number of iron weapons, and this time they have expelled the Han people to live in a designated place outside the city. ”

Tong Li said: "A message has been sent from China, and Sanniang has escorted weapons to come here." ”

Chen Xusheng said excitedly: "Sanniang is here. ”

Tong Li nodded and said, "I see that the Franji people have not yet made up their minds whether to really do it, but if our Han people resist, they will definitely solve the Han people here and go to the Penghu area." Let our people appease those Han people, and at this time, we must not act rashly, we must hold back. ”

Chen Xusheng said: "Why don't you just do it?" ”

Tong Li said: "Because Your Majesty has other arrangements, we must wait until Franc Jiren sends troops to Penghu before we can do it." ”

"Still waiting?" Wu Guansheng said in a panic: "I'm afraid I can't wait that long, if the Franz people really want to send troops to Penghu, they may solve the hidden dangers here." ”

"Not necessarily!" Tong Li shook his head and said: "I have carefully observed their fleet, and found that if they send troops to Penghu, they still lack a lot of labor, but the Franji people have not made any arrangements for this, I guess that if they want to send troops to Penghu, it is very likely that they will mobilize some Han people to act as laborers, in this way, they will not do anything to the Han people for the time being, although the current situation looks dangerous, but as long as we Han people keep to themselves, we can still wait until then." ”

"I hope so." Wu Guansheng wiped his sweat and said.

It seems that the situation is indeed very unoptimistic, and now a large number of Han people here are already defenseless, and the iron pot and hoe have been taken away, and now they are encircled together, which is simply a flock of lambs.

Obviously, the Frangi were panicked by the Han people here, because there were too many Han Chinese in Manila, and they only had about 3,000 people, so they united with the Japanese people, the locals, and some big cannibals who had taken refuge in them against the Han Chinese.

And Tong Li's original plan was to wait for them to do it first, and then take the opportunity to raise troops.

It's really sad to say, if the Francois don't do it, the Han people will not be able to unite together, and it will be a plate of scattered sand, but unfortunately, this plan suddenly changed, and Guo Dan asked to wait as much as possible until the Francosis went to attack Penghu first.

......

Huguang, Tanzhou (Changsha).

"Qiyu is the commander of the envoy, and Weihui Mansion has sent another batch of firearms."

Adjutant Shi Ru entered the lobby and reported to Wu Weizhong.

Wu Weizhong stood up and said, "I only sent a batch a month ago, and our army has enough firearms, is this the wrong place?" ”

Shi Ru said: "No, I heard that there will be two more batches to be sent." ”

“......!”

Wu Weizhong was silent for a while, then got up and walked outside.

When I came to the dock, I saw that the boatman was unloading a large number of guns.

Wu Weizhong was stunned, how could this cannon be thrown down like a bird's gun, what kind of hell is Weihui Mansion, this is also too terrifying.

"How many artillery pieces are there?"

Wu Weizhong stepped forward and asked, the official who wanted to escort the firearms.

"There are a total of 150 guns in this batch, and another 150 will be sent in the future." The person who delivered the artillery was a hundred households under Li Rusong's account.

What the hell is this for? Wu Weizhong couldn't help but whisper: "Even if you really want to start a war with the southwest, you don't need so many firearms, this is a knife used to kill chickens!" ”

The hundred households said in a low voice: "Returning to the commander, our General Li said that we don't know whether the firearms produced by Weihui Mansion are easy to use, if you really want to fight, you can also try this new type of firearms." ”

Wu Weizhong said angrily: "This is not easy to use, my eyes can see it, do you still need to try." ”

The hundred households smiled and changed the topic: "Commander, the artillery sent this time is more advanced than before, you look at the base, there is a handle, as long as you turn this handle, you can adjust the angle of the artillery." ”

As he spoke, he took out a small notebook and said, "This is the manual for the artillery." ”

Shi Ru was surprised: "There is still a manual for this artillery?" ”

Na Baihu said: "Yes, this manual has explained how to disassemble and assemble the artillery, how to maintain the artillery, and how to use it during combat. ”

Shi Ru suddenly felt that it was the same for anyone to fight, and said to Wu Weizhong: "All the commanders, our military formation may not be very applicable." ”

Wu Weizhong couldn't help but be stunned.

He still uses the military formation of the Qi family army here, but in the past, the Qi family army was based on limited firearms, and the current number of firearms is obviously not suitable for those formations.
