Chapter 3: The Iron Will (Part I)
More than 1,000 gangsters shouted in unison: "Swear to follow the gang leader to the death, and you will not hesitate to break your bones." Liu Yi was quite moved, and just wanted to say what he thought in his heart, a helper hurriedly ran in-
"Report to the helper, the people we rescued from the sea have woken up and are clamoring to see you."
Liu Yi frowned, and couldn't help but wonder: "Lao Zhao, who did you save, why don't I know?" ”
"The brothers who went to sea yesterday saw nine young people floating in the sea, so they fished them back, but they didn't expect to come back to life. Since you were too busy yesterday and didn't have time to report, helper, what do you think should be done? ”
Liu Yi smiled faintly: "Bring it here, I want to see who they are?" ”
In a few moments, nine young men were brought in, all of whom were of great appearance and temperament, and who at first glance knew that they were highly educated. Liu Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, if he wanted to achieve a career in troubled times, he needed this kind of talent, he secretly had the heart of friendship, and behaved very friendly: "I am Liu Yi and Liu Boyan, the leader of the Iron and Blood Gang, I don't know what you call it?" ”
A stout white-faced young man bowed forward: "My name is Huang Zheng, these are my friends, we are all overseas Chinese, we returned to China together after successful studies, I wanted to serve the country, but I didn't expect the passenger ship to crash and almost die at the bottom of the sea." I would also like to thank Gang Master Liu for saving his life, please don't embarrass us, because our luggage is sunk to the bottom of the sea and there is no penniless. ”
Zhao Wei was furious when he heard this: "Let you, my mother, and the stinky shit, our iron-blooded gang take benevolence and righteousness as training, and have bullied ordinary people from the end, how can you be slandered, I really shouldn't save you turtle calves." ”
Liu Yi raised his hand: "Lao Zhao, Hugh is rude, they live abroad all the year round, and it is understandable that they treat us as bandits." Mr. Huang, welcome back to the motherland, you have traveled thousands of miles to return to China to serve, which really makes Yi admire it to the extreme, please sit down, come, and serve tea. ”
After the nine people thanked and sat down, it was still Huang Zheng who spoke: "Gang Master Liu, what kind of place is this?" How far is it from the Southern Jin Dynasty? ”
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "This is Kangzhou, not too far from the Southern Jin Dynasty, you go to the Southern Jin Dynasty, but are you visiting your friends?" ”
"Alas, I came from the Evil Tiger Country, encountered a storm on the way, lost all my luggage and was penniless, and wanted to go to the Southern Jin Dynasty Overseas Chinese Council for help."
Liu Yi was secretly happy in his heart, and at this time it was the time for Shi Hui to win people's hearts: "Lao Zhao, take a silver ticket of 10,000 oceans, and return to China from overseas travelers, we should do our best to be the landlord." ”
Huang Zheng was secretly grateful, but he still had to ask for the necessary face, so he hurriedly shook his hand: "Gang Master Liu, we don't know each other, we don't dare to accept your gift, please don't do this." ”
"The same descendants of Yanlong, the same ambition to serve the country, the "Analects" has a saying, all the lakes and the four seas are brothers, you don't have to refuse. Besides, you are willing to give up a comfortable life abroad and return to the motherland to serve, which shows the heart of serving the country with fists, and it doesn't hurt to take 10,000 oceans. Alas, today's Yanlong is suffering from internal and external troubles, suffering from the economic blockade of the great powers, and the years of chaos have made the people's lives miserable, and they are also ...... in power. ”
Liu Yi turned over the conversation, which convinced the nine people secretly, they thought that there were no heroes in the country, but they didn't expect that just a small gang leader would have such a high opinion, which had to surprise them! A handsome young man of medium height stood up openly: "Gang Leader Liu, seeing that you are well versed in military affairs, I don't know which military school you graduated from?" ”
"Alas, Yi Zhilulu, only a rough reading of "The Art of War", where it is shallow, please also ask the sage Haihan!"
"You are too modest, my name is Fang Tianming, and Huang Zheng, Zhou Youdao, Zhou Youwei, and Sun Zhigang all graduated from the West Point Military Academy of the Evil Tiger Kingdom, while Liu Zhengfeng and Long Baichuan graduated from the Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst of the Lai Ying Empire, and Huang Keqin and Wei Changqing are all top students of Yale University of Finance. We returned to China together, and we wanted to show our strengths, but today I heard the conversation of the gentleman, and I realized the arrogance of our others, which made you laugh. ”
"I'm ashamed, Brother Fang praised it, Yi is just a sour Confucian, please Haihan if you are arrogant!"
Liu Yi talked with the nine people more and more speculatively, and after half an hour of acquaintance, he was surprised to find that Liu Zhengfeng, a tall and thin man who was white and elegant, was a very good pilot; Long Baichuan, who is handsome and handsome, is a professional talent in the navy.
Sun Zhigang, who has a national character face, turned out to be an expert in military dogs, and the burly and mighty Zhou Youdao and Zhou Youwei brothers and Huang Zheng and Fang Tianming are all graduates of the infantry department. And the free and elegant handsome guy Huang Keqin and the silent Wei Changqing are both experts in economics, the nine of them met unexpectedly and returned to China together, but they crashed into Liu Yi's arms, which may have been deliberately arranged by the sky.
Reborn in troubled times, enjoying the flesh and brother of the original owner, and now it coincides with nine great talents, how can Liu Yi not harbor a ghost?
"Alas, in the past, Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan became righteous and won the fame of eternal beauty, the nine of you are like-minded, and your achievements in the future will be far better than Liu Guanzhang, I really envy Liu someone. If Yi's brothers are as virtuous as you, they can make Yanlong return to the top of the world in less than ten years, but unfortunately Yi's name is meagre, and it is difficult to gather elite talents, and there is nothing to cry out! ”
A sentence to regain the top of the world, can't help but resonate with nine people, although the country is in decline, but every descendant of Yanlong has the ambition to revive the country's prestige! Huang Zheng was the most surging, two bull's eyes stared at Liu Yi, forcibly endured the burning of his heart, and used the last trace of reason to express the doubts in his heart.
"Gang Master Liu, what do you mean by this? Even if we are loyal to you, how can you bring me back to the top of the world? ”
"To tell you the truth, Yanlong today is only nominally unified, but in fact the warlords are in their own hands, and those in power intend to kill people with knives to achieve true unification. This trick seems to be extremely clever, but in fact, it is the trick of the great powers, which has caused the loss of Yanlongqing's growth, the people have food and clothing, and the country has no hope of rising?
Yi Chang Si, if he gets a place, secretly develops industry, and accumulates strength for Yanlong, it is undoubtedly the best way to save the country. Alas, it's a pity that the perseverance is lonely, there is no ambition, but there is no capable leader, so I complain a few words, and I hope everyone is not strange! ”
Huang Keqin's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "Gang Leader Liu, what are your plans, you might as well talk about it." ”
Seeing the nine people biting the hook, Liu Yi was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was full of heaviness: "Throughout the past hundred years, my country has been invaded by foreign powers, because the previous dynasty was closed, closed, and the country missed the most golden stage of scientific and technological development, and the level of science and technology, industry, and education was far behind.
The way to save the country lies in science and technology, industry and people's education, and to carry these needs to be protected by rights, financial support, and talent and technology. Yi plans to apply for the military academy in order to obtain military power, so as to provide power escort and financial support.
Now, there is a lack of sufficient talent and technology, and if you have your help, Yi plans to build a base to secretly develop science and technology, industry and various professional schools. Do my best to fight for the country and the nation, and accumulate strength for the rise of the Yanlong, my wish is nothing more! ”
