Chapter Ninety-Three: Forward, Forward, Forward
Luo Rongguang and Zhang Bishi glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts that this kid was really not tall, but he had a big courage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because Zhang Yi asked the Beiyang Navy to use inferior eight-groove coal, and took out the high-quality five-groove coal to sell to the outside world, Ding Ruchang once fought with Zhang Yi once and dropped the cup, which caused a stir at the time.
In the end, this important minister of the Qing Dynasty military, the admiral of the Beiyang Navy with the title of Shangshu, had to stop and stop.
"Onward! Forward! Forward! ――”
Our procession to the sun,
Stepping on the land of the motherland,
Burdened with the hope of rising,
We are an invincible force,
We are the avant-garde of war,
We are armed with steel—"
The beach outside the big tent was replaced with a new military song, high and loud.
The eyes of the room lit up, as if they were ignited by the song.
Chen Shijie was anxious and restless, and he really wanted to go out and yell together.
But he didn't know what his uncle had in his arms when he came over today, so he had to sit here and spend it, singing in a low voice:
"Listen, the wind is howling, the trumpets are sounding; Listen, the songs of the Anti-Japanese War are so loud; Comrades rushed to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and comrades rushed to the frontier of the motherland with neat steps; Onward—"
"This song, boy, yes, it's really good, Ming'er also taught me the soldiers of the fort to sing."
Luo Rongguang simply looked at He Changying, the more pleasing it became.
Zhang Bishi couldn't help but be moved when he heard it, how could he have heard this kind of passionate song that pointed to people's hearts in his life?
Zhang Bishi touched his jacket, and this time he made a special trip to deliver silver.
He sent the silver for two purposes, first of all, he really felt that this He Changying was extraordinary, and looking at Li Hongzhang meant to cultivate vigorously, so he formed a good fate in advance.
The second is that he wants to take his nephew Chen Shijie away, or stay in Jinwei, no matter how bad it is, he will use silver to buy a stable errand, and he will not be used as cannon fodder to fill guns.
In his jacket there are 30,000 taels of silver tickets for the 'Dade Pass Shop', which was originally planned to be negotiated with 5,000 taels of silver tickets to buy a friendship, and if the conversation is very pleasant, he will take out 10,000 taels to recognize a little brother.
Now that he has listened to a few military songs, Zhang Bishi feels that this 10,000 taels seems to be too little, and some of them can't be handled, so they have to increase the weight.
He Changying continued in a cold voice:
"Inferior coal not only seriously damaged the boiler, but also the warship is not powered enough, this battle is still a fart? Why is Li Zhongtang unwilling to let the naval division and the combined fleet of the East Ocean fight a decisive battle, because he has long seen through all this, and if he does not fight the Beiyang Naval Division, it can at least play a deterrent role and firmly limit the war to Korea; This country is rotten to the roots, from top to bottom, what can he do? ”
"Ho-sama is saying—"
This topic is too sensitive, and as a businessman, Zhang Bishi is reluctant to ask too thoroughly.
"Defeat!"
He Changying took a puff of cigarette: "Now none of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty have strengthened Li Zhongtang, but there are groups of people who are holding back, and they are all excited, shouting and killing with red mouths and white teeth; What to beat, to their mouth or buttocks? ”
"It is not true to say that the sailor avoids the enemy and fights timidly; I said that Ding Ruchang should not be unconvinced, the earlier he fights, the faster the Beiyang Sailor will finish! ”
He Changying stepped the cigarette butt in his mouth into the sand fiercely: "Once the sailor is finished, you will prepare for the real national war." ”
For a while, the atmosphere of the full tent was overwhelming, almost breathless.
Only the singing outside is getting more and more exciting, louder and louder, and more and more excited!
"Then how do you think you can defeat the Orientals?"
Beiyang, who has stayed in Beiyang all his life, was said by He Changying to be so unbearable, Luo Rongguang was obviously not convinced, and he was also very unhappy in his heart.
"Isn't what my comrades-in-arms and I have to do now is to defeat the Orientals and turn the tide?"
He Changying raised her head slightly and said proudly.
Suddenly, the tent filled the tent with resolute faces, flashing a proud and sacred light.
"You-, just with your hundreds of baby soldiers? Don't pee your pants in fear as soon as you hear the sound of artillery on the battlefield. ”
Luo Rongguang looked down on him with disdain.
Suddenly, a room full of students glared at Luo Rongguang, an old man with a crow's mouth.
"If you are ambitious, you will know how well the cadet soldiers perform, Luo Junmen and the people of the whole country, soon."
He Changying was not in the mood to raise the bar with Luo Rongguang, looked at Zhang Bishi and said:
"Since Lord Zhang has come over with a face, I won't say more polite words, the country is strong, and the backbone of you overseas travelers can stand hard; Now the Netherlands, Britain, France, and the United States have colonized Southeast Asia, and they have always regarded our industrious expatriates there as an unstable factor, restricting and attacking them everywhere; To put it mildly, if these Westerners want to seize your property, that is, the affairs of a team of soldiers, how can there be justice under the gun? ”
Zhang Bishi nodded, in the past few years, when his family property began to exceed 10 million, which night did he really sleep sweetly?
As the so-called wealth moves people's hearts, how can his huge foundation not make people blush and peep!
The bloody hateful eyes of the local natives, and the greed and shamelessness of the Dutch rulers, made him tremble and be angry.
However, not only was he helpless, but he also had no dignity, and tried his best to curry favor with the Dutch colonists.
Because he was afraid, afraid that he would not know what day, and because of what kind of fork, the Dutch would lead troops to raid his family.
Which of these overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia does not have this sense of displacement?
The reason why everyone huddles together to keep warm is not that there is no firm support behind them.
Unlike those Westerners, even if they are thieves, beggars, and hooligans, walking on the streets of Surabaya, even if they do whatever they want, no Chinese and natives dare to provoke them.
Why did he Zhang Bishi try his best to wear this top of the Qing Dynasty and try to stammer Li Hongzhang, didn't he still want to rely on it.
So that those robbers who tried to attack him had scruples and did not dare to act too arbitrarily?
"A hundred years ago, Honghexi was the most obvious example, if the country is not strong, or the country does not care about overseas wanderers, then these overseas expatriates are rootless, and they are slaughtered as cattle, horses and sheep."
In the crowd, except for Zhang Bishi, Chen Shijie, and Wu Weiyang, the rest of them all had questions on their faces, and they couldn't figure out what 'Honghe Creek' was, so that Master He could bring it up so carefully?
Hearing the words 'Honghexi', Wu Weiyang's face was heavy, Chen Shijie's face was angry, and Zhang Bishi was surprised:
"Lord He actually knows about the tragedy of more than 100 years?"
"If you are a Chinese, you should know it all, and you should not forget it."
He Changying looked at Zhang Bishi sincerely and said, "So, Lord Zhang, the country is in a difficult situation at this time, and it urgently needs the help of you overseas travelers. ”
Zhang Bishi was shocked, he had seen a lot of officials in the Qing Dynasty, but the words in front were noble, and he confessed to asking for silver with a mouth in the back, and it was really the first time he had met Zhang Bishi.
