In the small conference room of Huafu Foreign Bank, Zhou Xiuying sat on a chair with Zhou Feixia's support, she was very eager, "What we have is real money to pay, when will you be able to supply us with musket bullets." ”

Lin Shenye smiled faintly, "Sister Zhou, you're too anxious. ”

When Fu Baichen changed hands and gently closed the door of the conference room, everyone sat down. Lin Shenye turned to Fu Baichen at this time, and nodded to indicate that he could start.

"About musket bullets." Fu Baichen tapped on the table, "We have a lot of them now." ”

"There are a lot of them, are they in Shanghai?" Zhou Xiuying almost stood up.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Fu Baichen smiled and waved his hand, "The bullet is in Shanghai, but we won't provide it to you." ”

Zhou Xiuying tried to control her emotions, and she popped out word by word, "Why~what~?" ”

Lin Shenye's big clear eyes stared at Zhou Xiuying, "Because you betrayed our Ming Dynasty and switched to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!" ”

"Da Ming?! Are you also people who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?! Bao Desheng exclaimed.

Lin Shenye smiled faintly, his words were very short and very powerful, "We are anti-Qing and restore Ming, but you are not." ”

Fu Baichen then shouted, "You believe in Hong Xiuquan's cult, oppose the Qing Dynasty, and do not regain your sight." It's not with us. ”

Zhou Xiuying won the bag for a while. Bao Desheng immediately stood up, his eyes were fixed on Fu Baichen, and a few incisions of the Heaven and Earth Society's hall were cut, and the joint code was coded

Fu Baichen waved his hand, "Don't bother, we are not from the Heaven and Earth Society, we are from the Ming Dynasty." ”

"The Ming Dynasty?"

Fu Baichen didn't talk too much nonsense, he told Zhou Xiuying very briefly that Zhu Yangni was actually the lord of Anping, a descendant of King Lu of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming court had returned from overseas and had just taken Dinghai City and wiped out 10,000 Qing troops.

After Zhou Xiuying heard this, she was very skeptical, "Sister Lin, what he just said is true?" ”

"Of course it's true, there's no need to lie." Lin Shenye took out the photo of Wu Jianzhang last time and handed it to Zhou Xiuying, "Our Ming Dynasty's heroic army." ”

After the photo, Zhou Xiuying and the three of them were all shocked. After being silent for a while, Bao Desheng said, "Your Ming Dynasty is anti-Qing, our Xiaodao Society is also anti-Qing, and the red flowers and green leaves are a family, you can't help but be righteous." Besides, we're buying your arms for real money. ”

At this moment, Lin Shenhe pushed the door in from the outside, and he said loudly, "Righteousness, that is the occasion, we are fighting for the founding of the country." Guan Gongguan's second master talks about righteousness, Huarong Dao lets Cao Mengde go, we will never learn this kind of righteousness. Because the concession was known to be strictly neutral and forbade the military personnel of the Qing army to enter and walk, Lin Shenhe changed into a dress.

"You~~ You're the demon head!" Zhou Xiuying recognized Lin Shenhe at once.

"Wife, miss me?!" Lin Shenhe greeted Zhou Xiuying with a smile and sat on the edge of the deep leaf.

Zhou Xiuying's face flushed and she took a sip, "Nonsense, who is your wife." ”

Lin Shenhe's right index finger was a little Zhou Xiuying, and then his right arm was quickly bent, and the thumb brother tilted towards him, "You~~ are my people!" As he spoke, Lin Shenhe also shook the jade bracelet on his left wrist, "I have a token here as proof." ”

Zhou Feixia and Bao Desheng both recognized Zhou Xiuying's jade bracelet, and the two of them turned their heads to look at Zhou Xiuying with surprised expressions.

Zhou Xiuying's face turned blue, her right hand slidied, the dagger was in her hand, and she shouted angrily, "Scoundrel, return my jade bracelet." As he spoke, he slapped the table with his left hand, and flew towards Lin Shenhe, and the dagger came straight to Lin Shenhe's throat with a solemn cold light.

This dagger is actually a knife that the knife will make uniformly, and it is one foot seven inches long and very sharp.

Lin Shenhe's hand was quick, he turned sideways to let go of the dagger, grabbed Zhou Xiuying's right wrist with his left hand, and gently pulled forward, Zhou Xiuying lost her balance in the air, Lin Shenhe hugged her right hand, and the warm fragrance and warm jade were all in his arms.

"Yes, I saved your life yesterday, and you have to make a promise in person." As he spoke, Lin Shenhe sniffed Zhou Xiuying's cheeks, "It's so fragrant!" ”

With a "snap", Zhou Xiuying gave Lin Shenhe a resounding slap with her left hand. "You're a bully!" Zhou Xiuying's voice was full of tears.

Everyone is in such a mess, hurry over to relieve the siege and comfort.

When Zhou Xiuying sat down in the same position again, Lin Shenhe covered his cheeks, "I bully people? I just saved your life yesterday, and today you are going to kill your life-saving benefactor. Will heaven and earth be so righteous? ”

When Zhou Xiuying's face turned red, Lin Shenye hurriedly drank to stop Lin Shenhe.

Lin Shenye then introduced to Zhou Xiuying, "Sister of the Zhou family, this is my brother Lin Shenhe, who is not yet married, and is currently in the Ming Dynasty Songjiang Jinyi Wei Qianhu. ”

Zhou Xiuying snorted and didn't answer.

Bao Desheng didn't know the reason for the matter, and he didn't have much to say, so he pulled the topic back and asked Fu Baichen: "This projectile, do you really not sell it?" ”

"If you oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, it is your own person, and it doesn't matter if this projectile is given to you; If you support Hong Xiuquan, then you are not your own person, and the ammunition will definitely not be sold. ”

Bao Desheng hurriedly argued, "Last year, we had already hung the banner of the Taiping Army, and when you sold arms, you didn't say anything." In fact, most of us in the Knife Club still have to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore their sight. He glanced at Zhou Xiuying, "The righteous army composed of our Qingpu Tiandi Association is anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty." ”

Lin Shenhe leaned comfortably on the back of the chair and crossed his hands on his chest, "The purpose of selling arms to you is to make you more powerful than the Qing army, so that I can break into the Qing army." Now that the Qing army in eastern Zhejiang has been defeated, and the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei has been defeated, but I have taken Shanghai City and eliminated the Little Knife Society, then Xianfeng Xiaoer will inevitably be promoted to my official. When I became a senior official of the Shangqing Army and became strong and strong, the banner was changed, and the large part of Jiangnan belonged to my Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhou Xiuying pursed her lips, very unconvinced, "Our Xiaodao Club is not a vegetarian, and it is not so easy to win Shanghai City." ”

Fu Baichen shouted, "Yes, your knife will be powerful." The interior is torn apart, and I want someone to eat the people of your Qingpu Tiandi Society this morning. ”

"It was just a misunderstanding."

Lin Shenhe smiled, "Okay, that's a misunderstanding. Although your Little Knife Club is headed by Liu Lichuan, the seven internal gangs compete with each other for power and profit all day long, you don't know about this situation, right? ”

"You Xiaodao Society military discipline is lax, often robbing the people's finances, the people of Shanghai from supporting the Xiaodao Society, to hating the Xiaodao Society, you don't know this, right?"

"Your leader Liu Lichuan was opportunistic, saw that the momentum was not right, switched to the Taiping Army, abandoned the original beliefs of the Chinese, and converted to foreign religion, which contradicts the religious customs of the majority of the Chinese people, and there are many people who deviate from morality within the Little Knife Society, don't you know this?"

"The right time, the right place and the right person are not the three, even if we don't intervene, how long can your knife club last?"

Facing Lin Shenhe's questioning, Zhou Xiuying was silent for a while, she helped Zhou Feixia to stand up, "Since this is the case, then we will leave." ”

Lin Shenhe pointed with his hand, "Where else do you want to go?" Give me an honest recuperation here. ”

Zhou Xiuying held Zhou Feixia and asked in a cold voice, "You want to detain us?" ”

Lin Shenhe said with a smile, "My cannons are ready, the musketeers have been trained, and I will take Shanghai City within three days." You're my man, and I'm not going to let you die. ”

Zhou Feixia hurriedly said, "This Lord of a Thousand Households~~"

"Don't~Don't~Don't~" Lin Shenhe hurriedly drank, "Don't call me Lord Qianhu, call me brother-in-law!" ”

Zhou Feixia hurriedly changed her words, "Yes, this brother-in-law." Everyone is anti-Qing and restoring sight, why fight to the death. ”

Lin Shenhe's eyes widened, "What this brother-in-law, that brother-in-law." Do you have several brothers-in-law? ”

Zhou Feixia's face suddenly turned red. Zhou Xiuying was so angry, her head was buzzing, she turned her head sideways and glared at Lin Shenhe, Lin Shenhe smiled and winked at her. Zhou Xiuying glared at him fiercely, her little face was a little crimson, and she quickly turned her head to the side.

Lin Shenye felt that there was a play, and she said to Zhou Xiuying very sincerely, "Sister of the Zhou family, our Ming Dynasty has persisted overseas for two hundred years, and the banner of the sun and the moon has now been killed in eastern Zhejiang. Since your brothers in Qingpu are those who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, you should cut off those who are committed to the Taiping Army and return to the banner of the Ming Dynasty. As far as we know, you also have a younger brother in Shanghai, can you bear to let your Zhou family cut off the incense. ”

Since Zhou Lichun and his family participated in the Little Knife Society Uprising, most of them and their families have been wiped out in the war, and only Zhou Xiuying and her 5-year-old brother Zhou Gengyu are left in the Zhou family. Speaking of Zhou Gengyu, Zhou Xiuying couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken, no matter what, she had to keep the only seedling of the Zhou family.

Zhou Xiuying's face was cloudy and uncertain, and she was quite hesitant.

Bao won Zhou Xiuying's thoughts, "It's not a problem to defect to Daming, but it is a bit unauthentic to break it with the knife and see them perish." ”

Lin Shenhe said with a smile, "It's simple, when you evacuate Shanghai City, you will make it clear to Liu Lichuan Xiaodao." Those who are willing to support the Ming Dynasty will take it with them; If they are obsessed, then they can only blame themselves. ”

Lin Shenye then added, "Sister of the Zhou family, my brother has a deep affection for you, don't let him down!" ”

Zhou Xiuying's face turned red, "I am the daughter of a pure white family, without the orders of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, you can't ruin my reputation." ”

"A few scholars in the imperial court can be used as matchmakers, and there are more mother's families on our side, and the county lord of Anping can help you get married, as for your mother's family~~" Lin Shenye set his eyes on Bao Desheng.

Bao Desheng hurriedly spoke, "Our brothers in Qingpu are all General Zhou's mother's family. ”

After receiving the news from Shanghai, the executive committee immediately held a meeting to discuss, and everyone believed that although the Little Knife Society was also a member of the anti-Qing camp, many of its members ate and drank, prostituted, gambled, and smoked all kinds of drugs, and they were full of vices, and those members of the Little Knife Society who were bent on defecting to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were captured and difficult to reform, so these people were left to Lin Shenhe. But Qingpu peasant rebels like Zhou Xiuying and others are a positive force among them, they are objects that can be united, and the emerging Ming Dynasty should open its mind, accept them, and transform them into a new type of Ming army with military and political qualifications.

At the meeting, it was decided to suspend the expansion plan of the army and the coast guard, and let Gu Wusheng and Zhu Yangni take the personnel of the Yangtze River Bureau to rush back to the foreign bank by steamer, and at the same time transfer some personnel of the army, training camp, and coast guard under the unified command of Wang Tiezhuan, and take two galleons to meet Zhou Xiuying and others.

The two galleons were also trophies for the destruction of Portuguese pirates, and in addition to some of the red-haired pirates who were willing to serve, there were also soldiers in the coast guard who had experience in sailing operations.
