Since Zhang Tong proposed to set up foreign affairs and set up the North and South Oceans, Dajin has been operating dismally for decades, and with the financial resources of the whole country, it can be regarded as preparing some belongings. Even if Mawei is defeated, only the company is left in Nanyang, and after nothing else, Beiyang still has some family background.

In the First World War of Goryeo, the Beiyang Fleet existed in name only, and there were still some belongings in the army. Later, during Han Rong's reign, he also accumulated a family business. In the storeroom, in addition to revolvers and mini rifles, there are still many rifled, smoothbore rifles and even a batch of arquebuses.

Boxers are more accustomed to knives and spears, and are not good at using foreign guns, and their access to foreign guns is limited, so it is better to rely on supernatural powers and boxing skills than on firearms. Therefore, there is not much demand for foreign guns, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds accumulated in the warehouse have been distributed, and there are a lot of foreign guns left.

In addition to the firearms, Huo Qiu even found dozens of boxes of hand-held ammunition and mines in the corner, apparently after Han Rong bought them, no one remembered to send them down, so they were piled up in the warehouse. Elsewhere, more than 100 grenades and more than 30 grenades were found. For artillerymen, these are treasures, even if there are no guns in their hands, out of professional habits, they will move away first.

In addition, hundreds of barrels of foreign medicine, as well as some accessories and parts of firearms, were also moved out one by one and filled all the carts they had brought. Gao Sheng didn't stop him, but pouted on the side, "Take it, take it casually, maybe one day the boxers will come to grab something, take it all away, and give nothing left." If the car is enough, if it is not enough, I will help you find a car. ”

Li Xiushan's family is a local tyrant, and it is not difficult to find a batch of big cars, but the problem is that these things are all good things, and where to put them is a problem. The capacity of the train was already tight, and even after a few wagons were added, the place was not rich. Even large luggage has to be strictly restricted, and it is obviously difficult for these guns and ammunition to be transported back to Shandong.

Li Xiushan said: "Don't worry, our Li family has a warehouse." All of them were stored in our warehouse, and my father was afraid that something would happen, so he hoarded a large amount of grain, waiting to sell it at a good price in the future when there was a food shortage. Now let him vacate a few granaries and put our things in to make sure nothing happens. Just give him dozens of quick guns. ”

Li Rongqing is an old man, and he has a keen sense that the style of Jinmen is not right, not only forbidding the children of the family to practice boxing, but also employing a lot of martial artists to protect the courtyard, and also buying dozens of arquebuses to protect the courtyard in every possible way.

However, the arquebus was much behind the smoothbore flintlock pistol, and Li Xiushan went home this time to bring back more than 100 smoothbore guns, which greatly improved the Li family's strength, plus the bullets from the governor's yamen this time. With the Li family's deep mansion compound, they are not afraid of someone coming to fight.

But compared to here, the Xigu arsenal is the big one, and it can be said that most of the ordnance of Zhili is stored there. When it comes to moving the goods there, Zhao Guanhou himself is a little worried, "That arsenal is a terrible place, can it be moved?" ”

Gao Sheng pulled him aside and stretched out his hand to him, "Lord Zhao, I'm not polite to you." I want ten tickets and ten thousand taels of silver. As long as you have the money and tickets, the treasury will move with you. ”

"Money and tickets? Then you wait, tomorrow this time, I will come to you and make sure it is done. ”

"Look, just come to Gao Sheng, I'll do the rest."

Zhao Guanhou distributed the revolver and mini gun, and the other weapons were temporarily stored in the Li family's treasury, which was handled by Li Xiushan and others. The transportation and storage of the books in the Beiyang Academy, as well as the transfer of technicians, were also entrusted to Li Xiushan. I brought a sentry guard and went straight to the small shoe shop.

Revisiting the old place, the mood has changed, and the disputes in the rivers and lakes are no longer worth mentioning in the eyes of Zhao Guanhou today. It's just that when I came to the outside of Su's house, I saw that the door was closed very tightly, the house was not occupied, and it was cleaned up very neatly, and the same was true of my former residence.

Because of a strongman like Zhao Guanhou, the small shoe shop pot guy has been prosperous for a while, and with Meng Siyuan providing economic support, nearly 100 people have gathered in the pot guy, which is a well-known big pot guy. But now, the situation is much worse than before, and a dozen thugs in the yard are boredly catching lice, gossiping, and they can't even be seen moving on the road.

Hou Xing saw Zhao Guanhou coming, he was both excited and a little afraid, obviously with the promotion of Zhao Guanhou's official position, the distance between the two brothers became bigger and bigger, and he didn't dare to treat himself as Zhao Guanhou's brother. He only ordered the men to prepare food and drink, and took a money bag out of the room

"This is the eldest brother's income in the past few months. The threshold of your new home is too high, I don't dare to go casually, so I will save all the money and wait for you to come back, just for you. ”

"My brother, you don't have to be so polite, I'm not here for this. Tell me how the pot guy is doing now. ”

Hearing Zhao Guanhou's question, Hou Xing looked embarrassed, "Brother, brother can't stand you, I can't bear it, and I haven't managed the foundation you left for me." The point is that there are too many Flying Tigers now, and the world is too bad, so it is not easy for the brothers to mix. Most of those trading shops closed down, but the work of the Bunker Club was a lot busy. In the past, there was not necessarily one dead body a day, but now there are dozens of dead bodies that need to be buried every day, which is a huge expense. Although Meng Dong's family is helping there, some of the other big families have run away, and some of their businesses have plummeted, so they are not so enthusiastic about doing good deeds. ”

"Are there any of our people who practice boxing?"

Hou Xing smiled embarrassedly, "We want to practice, people don't play." The Flying Tigers have to be honest and obedient, and they think our brothers are too slippery and refuse to ask for them. And our people like to catch up with fashion, and some of them have some foreign gadgets, and they have to be said to be three cents or four cents, and if they don't do it, they will be cut. Thanks to Master Jiang's support, he didn't attack us, but Master Jiang didn't let us practice boxing, so our people had nothing to do with the group. ”

Zhao Guanhou put a snack at this time, "It doesn't have anything to do with it, it's naturally a good thing." No matter how big the Flying Tiger Regiment is, everyone should not go to practice boxing, and don't ask Shinto, those things are all fishy (fake), and there is no sharp (real) at all. Believe that, sooner or later they will have to be dragged to death. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few silver tickets from his bosom, "Brother Hou Xing, this is a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver, go back and exchange the silver and give it to the brothers." Tell everyone, from now on, don't go out, don't go out on the streets. The current situation is a bit chaotic, and I went to Beijing this time to try my best, but most of the time it didn't work. Once the fight starts, there is Lafayette on one side of the stubble and foreigners on the other, which is not easy to mess with. This fight is not something we can mix, and we are all staying at home honestly. I have a train in Laolongtou, which is going to Shandong, and if I have a family to leave, I will send my family on the train. You old lady and sister, I have reserved a place, just go back and let them get in the car. If you want to follow, just get in the car together, and my brother will take care of your food. ”

Hou Xing got up gratefully and kowtowed, "Brother, I am relieved to have you take care of my old lady and sister." Our small shoe shop is also the No. 1 owner on the street, and if my military advisor runs away, I will lose your people. I'm poking here to see what they can do to me. Anyway, this is also a poor place, and I don't think those people will come to fight us. ”

While the two were talking, a few thugs outside came in with a door panel, and a man on the door panel was wrapped in a medicinal cloth, and he could smell the medicine from a distance. Zhao Guanhou looked at it carefully for a long time before he recognized that this was Ma Da's nose. "Second Brother Ma, where are you going to go shopping, let people fight like this, do you want to hang the money down, do you have any money?"

Ma Da nose called a few times before he said, "Second Master Zhao, don't interrupt me." I'm here to ask Brother Hou Xing for help, but I didn't expect to meet the second master, please save your life. Those vegetable farmers in Xingezhuang are about to beat me to death......"

The contradiction between Xin Gezhuang and the big wine vat was resolved in the Zhuangyuan Building, and Zhao Guanhou had no livelihood at that time, and he also got an income from the vegetable farmers' taxes, so that he could improve his life. I thought it was over, but I didn't expect there to be a turmoil. After asking, I learned that most of the people of Xingezhuang had joined the Flying Tiger Regiment, the men practiced boxing, the women practiced red lanterns, and the altar was also set up in the village, and the senior brother was invited to teach the Fa. The top three I met yesterday are just one of them.

Once you have learned boxing, your majesty will be strong, and when you think of your past enemies, you must clear your account. The big wine vat with the big nose of the horse is the number one enemy of this road, and he didn't dare to fight each other in the past, but now with the Shinto protection, he is not afraid of anything. As soon as the young offspring with a red scarf on his head and a knife and gun in his hand, he rushed straight to the big wine vat and pot guy, beat Ma Da's nose really well, and then released a word, asking him to clear the past losses, otherwise he would be killed as a second mao.

In the past, the gangsters were not afraid of vegetable farmers, but once the vegetable farmers became the Flying Tiger Group, fighting them would be equivalent to starting a war with the No. 1 force in Jinmen at the moment, and the gangsters would not be able to catch them. Originally, I wanted to ask Hou Xing to intercede with Jiang Bu, but I didn't want to meet Zhao Guanhou, which was better to talk to.

Zhao Guanhou has a mediocre relationship with him, but he is perfunctory, he cares about another thing, "Jinmen four towns and eight towns, how much do you practice boxing?" ”

"Many, just too much. Villagers everywhere all practice boxing and set up altars. In Jinmen alone, there must be tens of thousands of boxers. What they want is three words: not angry. Now as long as they say that they are boxers, and when they see the red turban and red belt, even the government is afraid of them. Tell me, if it goes on like this, how can we still have food on the ground of Jinmen. ”

"I'll leave you some money, you eat and see a doctor first, and I'll talk about other things later." If any of your family members want to leave, tell me, they are all old brothers, and I will handle the ticket. But remember to keep it secret, don't shout that people will know, then you can't go. ”

After Zhao Guanhou left the small shoe shop, his face became more solemn, and Huo Qiu asked: "My lord, did those boxers hurt your old friend, do you want to mark it and bring a ......?"

"It's not that, but now there are more and more people practicing boxing on the ground, and it is difficult to restrain the army, so many people are gathered in one place, and two or three people have a heart to manipulate it behind, this force is too terrible. Foreigner Chen Bing was at the mouth of Dagu, and we could no longer restrain the bandits, and once we had a big impact on the concession, the disaster would be far beyond the comparison of the day's lesson plans. This is my hometown after all, and I don't want to see it caught in the middle of a war. Forget it, I don't want to, let's go and see how Li Guan took them to move the books, and then go to the concession to have a look. ”

The Beiyang School moves books smoothly. Before the boxers who burned the academy arrived, the soldiers carried out the library books. The teachers used in the school are scholars from all over the world, especially foreigners.

Together, foreigners are avoided, and teachers are difficult to find, but there are many connections between students. Among them, most of the students from Tianjin are rich businessmen, and they also have dealings with each other's families, and after several students went home, they mentioned Zhao Guanhou's train, which immediately attracted the attention of their parents. When it was a little late, outside the purple bamboo forest and inside the Zhao house, many gentry and businessmen came to visit and discuss the matter of avoiding disaster.

Although these merchants are doing business in Jinmen, the market is now becoming sluggish, and even if they maintain their business, they will not be able to make a profit, and they will have to bear the risk of being destroyed by the people. Among them, many people are engaged in foreign companies and foreign goods business, which is even more Ermaozi and Sanmaozi in the eyes of the Tuanmin, and they can't even guarantee their personal safety, let alone business. They have no opinion on leaving Jinmen and taking refuge in Shandong.

If you want to talk about opinions, it is that Zhao Guanhou strictly stipulates the carry-on luggage per person, and there are strict restrictions on the number of large luggage. There are a lot of belongings in large households, especially the group people like to set fires, and when they leave, they are always afraid that the things left behind will either be robbed or burned, and they can't wait to take everything they can with them. On the one hand, Zhao Guanhou did not let them bring large luggage, but on the other hand, he had to take so many books away, which was difficult for some gentry to accept.

A salt merchant from the salt industry office said: "My lord, you love books and naturally it is a good thing, but right now, the fire burns your eyebrows, and you look at the front first." The villain's home, there are some clumsy furniture, you said not to let us take the car, this to Shandong, how to live. It is not safe to stay in Jinmen. As for those books, if they are lost, they will be lost, and if we try to buy them in the future, we will pay for the money we need. ”

"When you go to Shandong, you don't have to worry about furniture and other things. The market in Shandong is prosperous, you can buy anything, you just need to bring money. If it is inconvenient to present silver, you can bring a silver ticket, and the gold and silver can be carried, and there are restrictions on the coarse furniture. As for these books, some of them were bought through connections, but now they want to buy them, which is very inconvenient, and they can not be bought with money. It seems to me that this is worth more than gold and silver treasures. If a few people can't agree, they can also choose to stay. ”

Several businessmen saw that Zhao Guanhou was very dead, so they had to say good things and make friends, Jiang Fengzhi suddenly kicked the door open, rushed in from the outside, and poked a single knife of Xueliang on the table.

"They are all Ermaozi, we have already discussed, within two days, all the families who send their children to the foreign school will go overboard. Senior brother, you don't care about them, if you get them all away, I won't be able to do it. If you don't want to go with you, stay as soon as possible, and I can ask my master for business! ”

There are people among the businessmen who know her and know that she is Jiang Sigu, the recently famous boxer leader, and she must be true when she says this. Compared with life, money is an external object, and at this time, you have to take care of your life first, and then take care of other things. Not only did Zhao Guanhou's request agree, but some people asked, "Can we move to the train tomorrow first?" I heard that there were soldiers guarding there, and the boxers couldn't get in. We pay for room and board......"

When the businessmen were sent away, Jiang Fengzhi smiled, "Senior brother, how is my double reed acting?" ”

"Naturally, it's good, Senior Sister's skills are getting better and better, and she has bluffed all this group of old wealth, otherwise I don't know when it will be involved. As soon as they get in the car, you take someone to their house to move things, as much as you can, and then quickly turn it into cash and leave it for self-defense. When the chaos is together, you must always have money in your hands. As he spoke, he took Jiang Fengzhi's hand, and the latter shyly struggled twice and let him hold it in his arms.

Just as Zhao Guanhou was doing a lot of work on her, two female disciples with red lights ran in from outside, coughed twice, woke up the pair of wild mandarin ducks, and then reported: Jiang Bu has come back. (To be continued.) )
