Wang Sheng was very dissatisfied with Gao San, he wanted to hire a boat directly for safety reasons, but the other party did a favor, just let a smuggling ship that was going south to give him a ride, but he blackly asked him to ask for ten times the boat price, which was the cost of a chartered boat, one hundred times, ten times a thousand times.

Fortunately, there was no accident, the steamship of more than 500 tons, which was designed for smuggling, had a shallow draft and ran fast, and the Mexicans had weak anti-smuggling forces, so they successfully rushed to Widow's Beach in the second half of the night.

There are all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in Widow's Beach, and the name is very strange, and the origin is unclear. Some people say that there was a fierce female pirate named Black Widow here, and some people say that it is because the water here is high, the ships come and go, and there is a group of widows after one trip, so the Chinese call this place Widow's Beach.

There are pirates, smugglers, wanted criminals, killers, mercenaries, and it's a lawless fishing village. It is also a desert island with no grass, and when the tide is high, it is separated from the land, and when the tide is low, it is directly connected to the craggy reef.

Wang Sheng followed the way he had done a few years ago and went to find the eyes and ears of the rebels here.

It's been too long, and Wang Sheng worries that he won't be able to find the other party, because Mexican officers and soldiers often sweep the place, and although most of them can be fooled by the locals, the contact information is constantly changing. If he couldn't find a contact, Wang Sheng could only go to the mountains in person.

Sure enough, the other party is no longer in the original place, but the eyes and ears are still there, as long as there are people, they can be found. There are people who are looking for people here, Wang Sheng left a message in a tavern, and two people came to visit him the next day, one was in charge of the wind and the other was interviewed.

Wang Sheng and Hu Yarez have an old relationship, and they have done more than one transaction with each other, although the people sent don't know him, they all know the basic situation, and they don't talk deeply, just establish contact.

After waiting for a week, the other party came to the door again, and they had confirmed the news and brought Hu Yarez's order to ask Wang Sheng to go to their base.

Widow's Beach is located in the beach fjord on the eastern side of the Coast Mountains, where the rebels of Juarez are based, and it is only ten days to travel. For such a big business, Wang Sheng really needs to have an interview with Hu Yares.

Led by Juarez's men, it didn't take much to enter the mountain. It can be seen that Juarez's power is greater than before, and there are his people guarding along the way, most of them are Indians, and there are also a few Mestizos, most of these mestizos are petty officers, even under the Indian Juarez, the status of the mestizo is also higher, sometimes covered with racial discrimination, in fact, it is ability, the education level of the Mestizos determines that their average quality is higher than that of the Indians, but in the white government, it is racial discrimination, under the account of Juarez, That is to reduce talent without sticking to one pattern.

Pass through small settlements, or in the Chinese way, called Juntun. The land in the mountainous areas is not barren, and the most scarce thing is often water, which cannot be irrigated, so it is not easy to see the harvest and eat the sky, and it is not easy to have food and clothing. Juarez has been able to rely on these incomes to support him for so many years, not because he is doing well, but because Carlos is doing too badly.

Wang Sheng saw that they mainly grew grain and did not have any cash crops, so it was obvious that they would not exchange too much with the outside world, so it was no wonder that they had to go out of the mountains to loot again and again.

Wang Sheng is an officer, he looked at the other party's weapons and equipment more carefully, and found that they were all old rifles, and even a large number of smoothbore guns, this level of equipment, can only plunder, and the regular army will definitely suffer. The training of the soldiers was also subpar, which meant that they lacked regular officers.

I don't know the sun and the moon in the mountains, and the place where I saw Hu Yarez is also a settlement, a settlement of hundreds of people, Wang Sheng can't tell whether this is the other party's lair, because the place he came to last time is definitely not here, Hu Yarez's lair changes from time to time, it's hard to say whether it has changed here.

"Old friends, old friends!"

Juarez was very welcoming, and he would treat anyone who could help him, including those who sold him arms and food, and the financiers who financed him.

"It's great to hear you've brought us weapons."

Juarez continued to be enthusiastic.

Wang Sheng hugged his fists: "Hu Dangjia is polite." I have been cared for a lot in the past, and I will continue to rely on it in the future. ”

Juarez smiled: "I heard that you brought weapons, I don't know how many?" ”

Wang Sheng looked at the people next to him, and Hu Yarez retreated left and right.

"Hu Da is in charge, this time it is a big deal, 100,000 needle guns, 1 million bullets!"

"Great!"

Juarez couldn't hide his excitement, the lack of weapons and equipment was his biggest problem, of course, weapons could be bought with money, but the problem was that he had no money, and such a large arms business, even if he had money, it was difficult to buy.

"I just don't know how much Mr. Wang wants? You know, I don't have a lot of money, but I have some jewelry, art. You're going to have to give me a fair discount! ”

Huarez and Wang Sheng have traded at least three times, and they don't need to be tempted by each other, they both know each other.

Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't want money this time!" ”

Juarez wondered: "Then what do you want?" ”

Wang Sheng said: "I want a promise." ”

"Please!"

"After the matter is completed, you will be the prime minister of Mexico, and the Chinese want to send a king here!"

"Deal!"

Juarez thought for a moment and agreed.

Wang Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that things were in trouble.

The other party was not sincere at all, and Juarez obviously only wanted to deceive the weapon first.

Instead, Wang Sheng asked, "Isn't it strange why China wants to send a king to Mexico?" ”

Juarez smiled: "It's not easy, I'm reading the newspaper." By the way, this is it. ”

As he spoke, Juarez picked up one from a stack of newspapers on his desk.

Wang Sheng could speak Spanish, but he didn't know Spanish, and waved his hand to show that he couldn't read it.

"Recently, there have been several news in the newspapers that the Bank of America is very dissatisfied with the Carlos family's delay in debt and has said that it will no longer give the Carlos family new loans. ”

Bank of America is a bank under the American Company, and like the European bank set up by European companies, it does business with a political flavor, and China supports the Carlos family through the Bank of America, lending huge sums of money to the Carlos family, and they use this money to purchase arms and buy people's hearts. In the Americas for more than a decade, the Carlos family owed tens of millions of gold debts to the American company, and with their financial level, they could not even pay the interest. In order to maintain Carlos's rule in the Americas, in the end, the American Company could only lend him one loan at a time, but each time there would be some gains, such as obtaining various mineral mining rights in Mexico, Peru and other places, or large areas of state-owned land assets.

Wang Sheng nodded: "It seems that this time it's true?" Is Hu Da really willing to let the Chinese come to Mexico to be kings? ”

Wang Sheng said tentatively, he thinks that more than ninety percent, Hu Yarez is not sincere, after getting the weapon, he will definitely turn his face, once Hu Yarez turns his face, Wang Sheng feels that he may be involved, he is just a small person, the road to heaven that the young man surnamed Zhu gave him is still a dead end, it can be said that it is not good. If there was a choice, he would never want to wade into this troubled water, but unfortunately he didn't have a choice, and the other party controlled his every move. Unless he can reach out of the other person's hand, he must do what the other person says.

"Mexico is just a small country," Juárez lamented. With a population of no more than 10 million, sandwiched between large countries, they are either pro-British or pro-China. I trust the Chinese more than the British. Perhaps it would be best for China to send a king to rule Mexico. I personally have no problem with this. ”

Hu Yarez's words made Wang Sheng even more suspicious.

He can't control the young man surnamed Zhu, and he can't control Hu Yares, he himself is a duckweed, surging with the waves.

Maybe you'll have to find a way back for yourself.

"Then it's settled."

"Wait. I have one more request! ”

"Hu Da Master, please speak."

"Since China wants to send a king to Mexico, I agree with that, as long as Mexico is an independent country. But weapons alone are not enough, I need three million pesos! ”

Wang Sheng sighed: "I have no right to decide this, I will go back and reply." However, the guns and ammunition will arrive on the fifteenth of this month, and I asked Hu Da to send someone to pick them up. ”

Juarez laughed: "It's natural. You are such a good friend of mine! ”

As he spoke, he hugged Wang Sheng again.

Juarez stayed at the base for a few days, and Wang Sheng thought it was still early, so he stayed. In fact, he didn't know where he was going, and if he went to Widow's Beach, he wouldn't have much of a deal, so he might as well stay here to eat and live. And he also felt that Hu Yarez kept him as a hostage, and he was afraid that if he didn't agree, the other party wouldn't let him go.

After staying for ten days, Juarez informed him that he could go to pick up the goods together, and then set off with Juarez's people.

There are three people in total, and it is obviously impossible for three people to receive so many goods, and Juarez must be ready these days, and I am afraid that it will be very lively in Widow's Beach.

The munitions came in the middle of the night, and when they docked, they were quickly taken over by Juarez's men, and the sailors were cut off.

"Why are there no bullets!"

A stout Mestiso man complained about Wang Sheng.

"That's the rule, bullets and guns won't be shipped together, as for when the bullets will be delivered, let me ask."

Wang Sheng said, walking towards the sailors who were intercepted in the cabin.

A group of about a dozen people, one in the appearance of a captain, and the others were ordinary sailors.

Wang Sheng looked at it, did not speak to the captain, but shouted at the sailors:

"There is no one to speak, I am Wang Sheng!"
