On September 20, when Liang Hong rushed back to Tianjin, the Shen family had become a mess. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info new news came out of the Weng family in the capital, the Empress Dowager Cixi returned to the capital from the Summer Palace at dawn yesterday, and went straight to the emperor's bedroom, angrily reprimanded Emperor Guangxu and placed him under house arrest in Yingtai. The imperial court announced the decree of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the emperor could not take care of all opportunities due to illness, and the empress dowager was about to come to the court.

Shen Mingxuan's face was gloomy in the small building on Paris Road, and he came back from the Telegraph Academy very early today. Shen Yue hugged her mother and silently watched her father smoke cigarettes one after another.

"Are you going to set fire to the building?"

As soon as Liang Hong entered the house, he was choked by the steaming smoke, and hurriedly went to the window to open the window, and then snatched the cigarette from Shen Mingxuan's hand.

"Smoking so much won't solve anything, it will only make nicotine ruin your body." Then he pointed to the mother and daughter on the side, "And them, the smoke you spit out is actually more harmful to their lungs." ”

"Brother Liang, do you know about the affairs of the capital?" Shen Mingxuan asked listlessly.

"I know, isn't it that the emperor had the final say, and now it has been changed back to the queen mother."

"It's far less easy than what you said, brother, if you do things for foreign foreign companies, the court won't dare to touch you, but I can't." Shen Mingxuan said dejectedly.

"And now there's someone waiting outside the door to catch you?" Liang Hong asked rhetorically.

"That's not true, but I guess I can't be an official, and I don't know if there will be other implications. Alas, this official deserves. ”

Shen Mingxuan simply closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he had been locked up in a prison cell. Mrs. Shen was also depressed, she was the initiator of this official turmoil, and she had no idea at all, but now when she saw Liang Hong coming back, it was as if a drowning person had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Brother Liang, you have a well-informed brain, quickly think of a way out for your eldest brother."

As he spoke, he wiped away his tears, and quietly tugged his daughter with his hand, and Shen Yue blushed in embarrassment.

"Brother Liang, please think about me, what should I do in the future." The girl's voice was crying.

Liang Hong glanced at the mother and daughter, the mother called him brother, and the daughter called him eldest brother, this generation is messy enough. Seeing that Shen Yue was about to cry, he didn't dare to hold on any longer, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort.

"Don't worry, the matter hasn't been solved yet, let's analyze the same first."

Seeing that the mother and daughter had settled down a little, they turned around and took care of Shen Mingxuan.

"Brother Shen, in fact, there is a saying in the Buddhist family that makes a lot of sense, there is nothing in the first place, where is the dust? I see you're a philistine now. What if this official is not right? Now you're still free, there's no wanted notice posted outside, and there's no soldier at the door to arrest you, so there's still time to solve the problem. Like you now, what is the use of not doing anything, just being in a hurry? Wasted the most precious time. ”

"Brother, tell me, what's the solution? Who should I find to ask for favors? ”

Shen Mingxuan suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Liang Hong's hand.

"Brother Shen, wake up, who can you ask now? Think about it yourself, this is a major event that has been going through the sky, let me ask you if the Queen Mother hates the New Deal? ”

"Needless to say, of course I hate." Shen Mingxuan was frustrated again.

"Does the Queen Mother hate Weng Ge Lao, who presided over the new policy?"

"I guess I hate it."

"You people should all be counted as the Imperial Party, what can be the best ending?"

"Alas, in fact, it's nothing to just lose the official, but don't harm your life and implicate your family." Shen Mingxuan let out a long sigh, closed his eyes again and stopped talking.

"It's impossible for someone to lose their official position, the Restoration has been making trouble for so long, and the Queen Mother will definitely make an example of her. Therefore, there will definitely be people from the imperial party who will lose their heads, and there will be people who will be exiled to the army, and it is estimated that the lightest will be the resignation of officials. ”

Liang Hong didn't just want to scare them, although he was most famous for cutting off the heads of the six gentlemen of Wuxu, but in the end, tens of thousands of people were cleaned up after losing their official positions.

"What can I do then, brother, think of a way."

Mrs. Shen burst into tears, but she was the one she was doing to the event. Shen Yue also wiped her tears and looked at him with blank eyes.

"Forget it, I think it's better to go with thirty-six plans now, since the official is definitely going to be lost, maybe it will harm himself, why are you still waiting here?"

"Where can I go?"

The family asked almost in unison.

"Alas, anyway, I have to do wireless telegraphy here, so even if Brother Shen is hired by Huatong Foreign Bank, go to Africa with me, and come back when the wind and waves are calm here. The salary is definitely higher than if you were a superintendent, and the money is basically saved from eating and living. ”

Liang Hong said that he had already planned the plan, and he had to kidnap his parents first to abduct his daughter.

"When are you leaving?" Shen Mingxuan finally made up his mind.

"As soon as possible, it is estimated that I will leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Liang Hong tried to calm his emotions, and his heart secretly blossomed. In this era, girls who are beautiful, knowledgeable and have not been wrapped into small feet are even more scarce than giant pandas. After this village, there will be no shop, and he doesn't want to end up marrying a black daughter-in-law in Africa and giving birth to a bunch of mixed-race babies.

As the news spread in the capital, the hearts of the people in Tianjin also began to fluctuate. The students in the school were also affected, the Restoration failed, and those who stood in line with the imperial party began to feel uneasy, and two white spies in Tianjin stepped up lobbying, and some people had already expressed their willingness to sign a contract with Huatong Foreign Bank.

Near evening, Spy Zero Five took a young soldier in his twenties to the small building on Paris Road.

"Mr. Liang, this is Wu Peifu, Goshha in the Wuwei Left Military Camp in Tianjin."

Liang Hong listened to the introduction, and Huo Ran stood up and looked at the future celebrity. Wu Peifu is in his early seventies at one meter, which is considered to be an upper-average height among northern men, and his body looks quite sturdy. Brown placket military uniform, with a belt around his waist, and a straight body with a military appearance. If he said that he would be elected as the first general of the Beiyang Army, he would definitely vote for him. When he came to Tianjin, he remembered that Wu Peifu should be a soldier in Nie Shicheng's team at this time, so he asked people to inquire, and now he finally found someone.

"Welcome to Huatong Foreign Bank, my surname is Liang, the manager of the foreign bank." Liang Hong took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Hello, Wu Peifu, the protector of the Wuwei Left Army, I have met Mr. Liang."

With a knock on the heels of his legs, his body made a Manchu military salute straight. The Wuwei Left Army belonged to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's training army, and the military salute continued to use the old Huai Army, and only Yuan Shikai's newly built army in Beiyang was completely trained in accordance with the Western-style army.

"Very good, I have read your resume, you have been a student soldier in the sailor battalion, and you have been a showman, which can be said to be both civil and military. We have our own mines and industrial bases in Africa, and we are preparing to build a well-equipped mine protection garrison, which needs educated young soldiers to join. ”

Liang Hong looked at Wu Peifu as if he was looking at a piece of jade. Don't look at this little soldier now, as long as you give him the opportunity to receive a modern military education, and then give him a good stage for performance, he will definitely be a blockbuster.

"At the beginning, he was a reserve officer of the mine garrison, with a monthly salary of 20 yuan, and after the training, he would be paid according to his actual position, which was only higher than that of the reserve officer. The two parties sign a service contract in advance for a period of three years. We at Huatong & Co. will provide free officer training to teach the most advanced tactics available today, including the use of advanced smokeless gunpowder bullets, rifles, machine guns, and even artillery. ”

Liang Hong threw out one tempting condition after another, he knew very well that Wu Peifu was enterprising and knew what he wanted most.
