Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Arms Sellers Have Arrived
"My lord, someone has joined the army."
"Join the army?" Wang Hengyue was thinking about Yu Lei, and when he heard this, he said casually: "Since you are here to join the army, as long as the conditions are qualified, it is enough to recruit him, why bother to report." ”
The "adult" hesitated to report the news: "This person listens to his accent, and he is definitely not a local, nor is he from Sichuan." And it looks like a revolutionary party. ”
Can the revolutionary party also see it? Wang Hengyue was curious. Under that groan, let your men bring people in.
The man was about twenty years old, ragged, pale, and visibly malnourished. The most amazing thing is that the braid is not only cut, but also shaved bald, but the top of the head is greasy, I don't know how many times I haven't taken a shower.
Where did you find such a person for Lao Tzu? Is a shaved head a revolutionary party? Wang Hengyue was unhappy in his heart, but he still patiently asked with his surname: "Your surname?" Why join the army? ”
"Back to adults, my name is Ma Xiao, the third in the family, and also called Ma San. Yinchuan people. ”
Yinchuan people? Gansu's? What did you do in Sichuan? Wang Hengyue was stunned.
Ma Xiao exhaled and said in a low voice: "It was Qin Guangcheng Qin's shopkeeper who asked me to come to the adult, he said that the adult is a revolutionary party who has returned from the West, and I must join the army under the command of the adult." ”
Qin Guangcheng asked him to come? Could it be that the person in front of him is really a revolutionary party, and Qin Guangcheng arranged him here? But it's strange, since Qin Guangcheng introduced him, he didn't change his clothes, so he let him come to him in tatters like this?
Immediately understood, I thought that Qin Guangcheng deliberately did this, so that he could know the hardships of this person named Ma Xiao along the way.
It was already meal time, and the soldiers in the army were eating, Wang Hengyue asked Ma Xiao to enter the house with him, and let the food come in.
Ma Xiao was very gentle, and he was not in a hurry to eat: "My lord, the government is chasing him, if the adult is unwilling to take him in, Ma Xiao will leave immediately, and he will not cause any trouble to the adult." ”
"Don't worry, you tell me what's going on first." Wang Hengyue also became interested.
Ma Xiao sighed softly: "My family has also opened a few shops in Yinchuan, and I am considered rich." Later, I had a grudge with the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, when I was graduating from the army primary school and was admitted to the Beiyang Army Accelerated Martial Arts School. Later, these words reached Shengyun's ears, and Shengyun grabbed the head, arrested my whole family, and wiped out the family, and I didn't share the sky with Shengyun! ”
Beiyang Army Armament Academy? Wang Hengyue's ears pricked up suddenly. The person in front of him actually came out of the martial arts academy seriously?
"My lord, pity my family of seventeen, I haven't even seen what the revolutionary party is like, and they all died in vain!" Ma Xiao was angry and rushed to the crown: "Shengyun sent an official document to Baoding, to arrest me, cut the grass and eradicate the roots." Fortunately, my boss sympathized and let me live. But where is the place where I live in peace? I wanted to simply vote for the revolutionary party, but I didn't know where the revolutionary party was. remembered that before his father's death, he had always been good friends with Qin Guangcheng, a native of Chengdu, and had many business contacts, so he fled all the way to Chengdu."
Wang Hengyue nodded slightly, this person has a poor background, and he thinks that he has a common enmity with the Manchu court. In addition, he himself came out of the Martial Arts Academy, and he had Qin Guangcheng's recommendation, so he wouldn't be wrong: "Ma Xiao, if you come to me, you don't have to be afraid of anything, others dare not take you in, Lao Tzu dares to take you in!" ”
Ma Xiao was overjoyed, got up and took a long look: "Thank you for saving your life!" ”
"It's a pity that I'm just a small team officer, I'm afraid that I will wronged you." Wang Hengyue thought for a while: "In this way, you stay by my side as a staff officer first." ”
"Staff officer?" Ma Xiao was stunned, there are actually staff officers in a team? However, since he had a place to live, he was happy in his heart, and thanked Wang Hengyue again for saving his life.
"King, King, I'm back!"
Suddenly Pete's voice came from outside the house.
Could it be that double happiness is coming today? What kind of relative did Pete bring with him? Wang Hengyue was overjoyed: "Pete, get in for Lao Tzu!" ”
Pete rushed in, followed by a well-dressed foreigner, as soon as he came in, Pete shouted: "Lord Wang, I want to die, I really don't say, open your eyes!" ”
"What a mess." Wang Hengyue scolded with a smile.
Ma Xiao didn't expect that there was a foreigner in Team Officer Wang, so he heard Pete say excitedly: "This is the Lord Wang Team Officer I told you." ”
The foreigner in the back bowed slightly politely: "Hello, Lord Wang, I am Kleiman, the plenipotentiary head of the Chengdu office of Fan Lixi Company. ”
This man's Chinese language is much better than Pete's, and Pete says ostentatiously: "He is my uncle's partner, and I specially invited him from Chengdu." ”
"You may be seated." Wang Hengyue invited them to sit down and let them serve tea.
"I heard that Lord Wang wants to buy arms, and I am very interested." Kleiman didn't have any polite words, and said straight to the point: "Our company, as long as you can't think of it, there is nothing we can't sell." Mr. Wang chose to do business with our company, which was the wisest choice. ”
The dog said, Lao Tzu wants an atomic bomb, can you sell it to Lao Tzu? Wang Hengyue scolded in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Kleiman give Pete a look, and Pete quickly brought two boxes: "Lord Wang, this is a gift from Kleiman to you." ”
As soon as he opened it, two revolvers appeared in front of Wang Hengyue.
"Colt!" As soon as he saw the pony mark of Colt Company on the side of the gun, Wang Hengyue blurted out.
"I heard Pete say that Lord Wang also came back from our American country, and that's true." Kleiman didn't feel strange at all that Wang Hengyue recognized this gun at a glance: "The U.S. Army is equipped with an improved version of the Colt Army single-action revolver artillery type, with a short barrel, excellent shooting, simple structure, and strong and durable. In order to show our sincerity in making this business happen, we specially gave it to adults to use, and there are also matching bullets. ”
"Thank you very much." Wang Hengyue was also polite and accepted it.
Going to war with two Colt revolvers? Did you really become a western cowboy? American cowboys prefer to use Colt revolvers.
But when it comes to liking, it's still my own two Black Stars, but unfortunately there are only two bullets, and sooner or later the problem of Black Star bullets will have to be solved.
Thinking of the pistol, Wang Hengyue thought of the classic Mauser pistol again.
Since Kleiman's gift was given, he said bluntly: "Lord Wang, we can start talking about business!" ”
