Situ Lei's words must have been mixed with water. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Li Mu is young in this life, his psychological age is mature enough, and he has passed the age of listening to what he is.

In the eyes of many Westerners, the faces of Orientals are not three-dimensional enough, so in the eyes of many Westerners, Orientals look similar, which has a problem that cannot be ignored.

In fact, there are a lot of intrigues among the Chinese, many people are insiders in the civil war and outsiders in the war, rats carry guns in the nest, in Li Mu's impression, although some people in Hongmen have not forgotten their roots, but it is impossible for everyone not to forget their roots, gangsters, with moral standards to demand them, it is too harsh, don't forget that this is the United States, a country built mainly by white people, it is not easy for Chinese people to survive in the United States, and it is impossible to influence white people only by being full of benevolence and morality.

Li Mu is the best example.

It is very simple to verify Situ Lei's words, Li Mu is not ignorant in San Francisco, in order to better immigrate from the Qing Empire, Corbin-Rim Company has the largest transit station on the West Coast in San Francisco, and the manager of the transit station is Kerr's lawyer from the legal department of Junma Investment Company, Li Mu only needs a telegram to verify whether what Situ Lei said is true or false.

Therefore, Li Mu was not worried, and even bluntly proposed to Situ Lei, and Li Mu would verify Situ Lei's words.

"Li Ye rest assured, if Situ said half a lie, Situ Tian will thunder and die." Situ Lei was not surprised, and swore a heavy oath to Li Mu.

"Don't do it from God, if what you say is false, I can replace God and let you die a bad death." Li Mu was not polite and warned Situ Lei in his own way.

This warning is not intimidation, Li Mu does have this ability.

However, Situ Lei was quite bold, or because there was no ghost in his heart, so he was not afraid, after listening to Li Mu, Situ Lei smiled and said: "In this case, Situ will bother Li Ye here, and please forgive Li Ye." ”

Well, that's what it means to take yourself hostage.

Li Mu appreciated this kind of openness, and he already believed in Situ Lei's eight points in his heart at the moment.

"How many people do Hongmen have, I mean the kind that can be sent out to do things." Li Mu wanted to know the scale of Hongmen, so as to facilitate the positioning in the future.

Li Mu has a lot of things at hand that are inconvenient to come forward directly, and he really needs someone who can help Li Mu deal with some dark side things, just like those gangsters in New York controlled by Tweed.

In the past, when Li Mu's people were inconvenient to come forward, they would always hire a gunman to come forward, this way is not a long-term strategy after all, it is easy to leave a handle for people, although the gunman is easy to use, but after all, it is not as intimate as his own people, so if Hongmen has value worthy of support, Li Mu does not mind getting a Hongmen hall in New York.

The components of a city are not only official, but also need to be supplemented by some dark sides, from a certain aspect, these dark sides are also necessary existence, since they are necessary, they can't be cheap others, what noodles mafia, Maruko's Yamaguchi-gumi, one by one to take such an ugly name, no matter how you listen to it, it is not as good as "Hongmen".

"Master Li, there are eight halls and eight outer halls under the jurisdiction of the lord of Hongmen Mountain, and there are thousands of nominal disciples, but in fact, there are only three or five hundred people who can be pulled out at any time to do things, and it used to be better, white people are coiled on the east coast, and rarely go to the west coast, but in recent years, white people have begun to move westward, and our Chinese life is not easy." Situ Lei's expression is not very good-looking, an organization that has developed for two hundred years, there are only so many people, no wonder people are bullied in San Francisco.

"I don't know what Mr. Situ's position is in Hongmen?" Li Mu doesn't want his master to come and go, in front of Li Mu, few people are qualified to be called his master now.

"I don't dare to be the title of Mr., a certain person serves as the deacon of the East Pavilion in Hongmen." Situ Lei replied respectfully.

The East Pavilion is probably the master of the auditorium, and it belongs to one of the eight inner halls.

"New York, is Hongmen interested?" Li Mu extended an invitation to Situ Lei.

"New York—what does Master Li mean?" Situ Lei's eyes widened, and his gaze at Li Mu was full of incredulity.

"If Hongmen is interested in New York's business, let's sit down and talk, you should know that New York will change greatly during this time, rather than cheapening others, it is better for you Hongmen to go next." Li Mu does not procrastinate, in the final analysis, the current Hongmen does not show enough value for Li Mu to pay attention to, Li Mu's demand for Hongmen has, but it is not irreplaceable.

"Of course, everything depends on Li Ye!" Situ Lei did not hesitate to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"What's the matter, Mr. Situ doesn't need to ask the main hall for a word or two?" Li Mu said with a smile, very satisfied with Situ Lei's decisiveness.

"It is the greatest blessing of Hongmen to be favored by Li Ye, and I am looking forward to it from top to bottom, and I will definitely only look forward to Li Ye's horse-" Situ Lei couldn't wait to show his loyalty.

If you want to live in the United States, or if you want to live a better life in the United States, you must find a strong backer, which is the consensus of everyone in Hongmen.

In the past, Hongmen fought alone, and that was because Hongmen did not find a suitable refuge, and if such a person appeared, there was not much difference between being headquartered in San Francisco and being located in New York.

Li Mu is Chinese, and Hongmen is a gang of Chinese, so in an increasingly bad environment, taking refuge in Li Mu is the best choice for Hongmen, so Situ Lei, as the master of the auditorium, will come to visit Li Mu.

"If you can, you can get people to come over right now, and it's a great opportunity to get New York in a time when the old and the new are changing." Li Mu is more decisive, this matter is sooner rather than later, the sooner you start, the more you will benefit.

"Master Li, don't worry, Situ will send electricity to San Francisco." Situ Lei did not hesitate and firmly grasped the olive branch handed by Li Mu.

Fortunately, there is a telegraph room on Governors Island, and there is no need to go to Manhattan to send telegrams, so Li Mu placed Situ Lei on Governors Island, waiting for Cole's callback.

Two days later, Cole sent a report about Hongmen: Just before the San Francisco riots, the previous generation of Hongmen's leading uncle died suddenly, and Hongmen was in a mess, in order to compete for the position of leading uncle, Hongmen several bigwigs did not give in, so that they fought on the streets of San Francisco, which led to a farce of white people killed and injured, and then Hongmen took care of one or the other in the face of white attacks, so that until now, Hongmen has not elected a new dragon leader, which is why Situ Lei's trip to New York.

This can be explained, Situ Lei came to New York to ask Li Mu for help, otherwise Hongmen also has the dignity of Hongmen, and these gang members who are used to being big brothers may not be willing to be subservient.

With Cole's investigation report, Li Mu is not worried about what tricks Situ Lei will play, although Situ Lei did not explain Hongmen's predicament to Li Muhe, but Li Mu does not blame Situ Lei, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, because it is not a glorious thing to rush to be the boss and be a street fire, and if it is Li Mu, Li Mu has no face to say it everywhere.

Just when Li Mu was sitting on Governor's Island and watching the situation with a smile, the situation in New York was becoming more and more tense day by day.

The New York City Council will hold another vote on whether to impeach Tweed on December 20, and this time, if there are no surprises, the vote will pass smoothly, when Tweed will lose his current immunity, and the New York court will open a case for Tweed's corruption.

Tweed, of course, was not willing to fail, because Tweed is still serving as mayor of New York, so Tweed is not without resistance, on the twelfth, Congressman Brant Hirst, who had previously proposed the impeachment of Tweed, was shot dead in front of his apartment, and the gunman escaped and his whereabouts are unknown.

On the 14th, George Jones, the publisher of the New York Times, was involved in a car accident, the driver died on the spot, one of his fellow editors was seriously injured, and George Jones himself survived, but his leg was crushed and had to be amputated.

On the 15th, the headquarters of Time magazine was stormed by rioters, and although there were no casualties, the printing press in the headquarters was vandalized, the stored paper was burned, and the economic loss exceeded 100,000 US dollars.

On the morning of the 16th, Mahonny, a New York gang leader hiding in Brooklyn County, was killed in the villa, and more than a dozen thugs under Mahoni and Sidney Freeman, the secretary of the New York City government, were killed along with Mahoni.

"Reem, you're making it hard for me." Will raised his nose and eyes, not giving Li Mu a good face.

Will is now not the deputy mayor of Springfield, but the division commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army.

Washington finally decided to establish a standing army, and its first name was the "First Cavalry Division of the Army", also known as the "Guantanamo Infantry Division".

That's right, this unit was established on the basis of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, and the first division had about 4,500 soldiers, more than 3,000 of whom were Chinese, and the first division commander was Weil, who had performed well in Cuba.

In the second Battle of El Cristo, Will led the cavalry of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment to pursue the Spaniards, and in the pursuit of nearly half a month, Will led the troops to march more than 700 kilometers, fought fiercely with the Spaniards more than 20 times, killed and captured more than 15 times the total number of soldiers led by Will, and Will became famous in the same battle as George Dewey.

A few days ago, Washington finally decided to establish a standing army, and George Dewey, who had already been confirmed to go to Montana to replace Sherman, nominated Will as commander of the 1st Cavalry Division.

Grant agreed to George Dewey's nomination.

According to the plan, Will was supposed to lead the 1st Cavalry Division to Montana with George Dewey, but because the security situation in New York had become dangerous recently, Will's first stop was changed to New York.

At this critical juncture, Will's intentions are clear.
