Chapter 33 Yangtze River Bureau (I)
Updated: 202-02-2
One day at the beginning of August in the 54th year of the Republic (2695 in the Republican calendar), three Western carriages entered the small east gate of Shanghai through the French Concession and entered the marshal's mansion of the Little Knife Society. Although now the Little Knife Society and the Qing soldiers are in a tense confrontation, and the clashes are continuous. But no one dared to offend the Europeans and Americans, let alone the representatives of the Anglo-American consuls who claimed to be neutral and came to persuade them to surrender.
Several Europeans and Americans in tuxedos, straight shirts, white bow ties, black leather shoes, and high hats got down from the carriage one after another, and the leaders of the knife club wrapped in red cloth greeted them.
Zhu Yangni sat in the last carriage, her towering collar and corset firmly trapped her upper body. She stretched out a hand with royal blue gloves, and with the help of Gu Wusheng, with a charming fragrance, she slowly got out of the carriage.
A dark blue hat decorated with feathers and a delicate and elegant lace veil was worn on Zhu Yangni's head, and the veil on the hat covered her face. A royal blue "Crenoline"-style maxi dress with tulle crepe wraps high around her neck; The sleeves are a little below the shoulders, revealing the snow-white skin of the arms, and the sleeves are embellished with wavy tulle crepes; Pale blue embroidered taffeta wrapped tightly around her waist, the skirt was propped up by a conical hoop, seven meters at the foot of the skirt, and the unkempt floor-length skirt was adorned with wavy tulle crepes; On the feet is a pair of royal blue high heels.
In the hot summer, you will sweat when you move. Damn summer, damn corset, his upper body was so tight that he could barely move, Zhu Yangni cursed secretly while opening the lace parasol.
The men all entered the conference hall, Zhu Yangni bent her knees slightly, lifted the skirt behind her with her left hand carrying a small bag, and held a lace parasol in her right hand, and followed Zhou Xiuying, the female general of the Little Knife Society, to the West Flower Hall.
(Because the tightly bound corset did not allow Zhu Yangni's waist to bend, she had to keep her upper body straight like a lady and bend her knees to lift the hem of her skirt.) οΌ
Zhou Xiuying's father, Zhou Lichun, was the leader of the Qingpu Tiandi Society in Shanghai, and was killed by the Qing army after the defeat of Jiading after the Shanghai Xiaodao Society uprising. Zhou Xiuying took the defeated brothers to the county seat of Shanghai, and was named a female general of the righteous army by Liu Lichuan.
In August, the Executive Committee decided to set up the Yangtze River Bureau, with Shanghai as the leader, to take charge of all affairs in the Yangtze River basin, step up the recruitment of a large number of young and strong laborers, and make preparations for entering Taiwan in terms of manpower and material resources. It is also a part of the work of the Yangtze River Bureau to maintain a certain degree of contact with the Little Knife Society, improve the strength of some gang organizations within the Little Knife Society, and force European and American countries to strictly observe neutrality.
Although the knife club is mixed, there are many contradictions, and the discipline is chaotic. However, after all, they had been baptized by the fire of war, and their opposition to the Qing Dynasty was particularly resolute, and the Executive Committee decided to let the Yangtze River Bureau choose one of the forces to use. Zhou Xiuying is a target selected by the Yangtze River Bureau.
Zhou Xiuying looked back at Zhu Yangni from time to time, she rarely saw such a tall woman. Zhou Xiuying is a southerner and a northerner, tall and strong, but in front of Zhu Yangni, who is 1.76 meters tall, she naturally looks petite. Zhu Yangni walked in style, and the Crinoline brace rhythmically drove the skirt to shake slightly, and the rustling of silk exuded a burst of fragrance.
Zhu Yangni didn't wear stockings today, and the breeze under his skirt swirled around his legs from time to time, which made him very freehand. He muttered to himself, fortunately, there is a Clinolin skirt to help, and the space under the skirt also helps the air circulation, otherwise in the sultry summer, wearing seven or eight layers of petticoats, can you still live?
This was originally the Shanghai Daotai Yamen, and after the knife would occupy as the Marshal's Mansion, the flower hall was still the original layout of eight chairs and four chairs, and some blue and white porcelain was placed on the wooden shelves of the table. The windows and doors of the flower hall are wide open, and the ventilation is ventilated on all sides, which is very cool.
Eighteen-year-old Zhou Xiuying was wrapped in red cloth, red clothes and red pants, with a heroic appearance, she welcomed Zhu Yangni into the flower hall and invited him to sit down. Zhu Yangni put away the parasol and bent her knees slightly to elegantly close the hem of her skirt, so as not to crumple the satin on her back when she sat down.
Zhu Yangni has already followed the negotiation team twice, and after several contacts, Zhou Xiuying has long decided that this so-called American is actually a fake foreign woman. Although Qingpu is not far from the Shanghai Concession, Zhou Xiuying is the daughter of a farmer, and rarely enters the city to see this kind of Western costume, and Chinese dressed like this have never seen it. She looked at Zhu Yangni curiously, to her huge breasts, thin bee waist, puffy and swaying skirt, and these snow-white arms, Zhou Xiuying couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
The restraint of the corset made Zhu Yangni sit upright on the chair like a standard lady. She took out a silk fan from her pouch and shook it gently, raised her long eyelashes, and scorned Zhou Xiuying with her big shining eyes. Zhou Xiuying blushed a little, she coughed twice, and beckoned the two female soldiers to serve tea.
Zhu Yangni didn't care why Zhou Xiuying blushed, she gently lifted the veil, took a sip of the teacup, and the green tea entered her stomach, and suddenly the pores of her whole body were dilated, and the heat was suddenly dispelled a lot.
When Zhu Yangni only cared about tasting tea, Zhou Xiuying couldn't hold back, "You have come so many times, you want us to withdraw from Shanghai City, this is impossible." As long as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is killed, the Qing demons in Shanghai will definitely be wiped out. β
"I've told you many times that I'm not a negotiator, I'm just an escort." Zhu Yangni put down the teacup and shook the small fan gently, "But I can correct your mistake a little, the Taiping Army is now busy dividing the troops to the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition, and also has to deal with the threat of the Qing army to Jiangning in Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps, and it will not be able to take care of Shanghai in two years; Holding on to the city of Shanghai will only lead you to failure; The war seriously affected the business dealings in the concession, and it was impossible for Westerners to remain neutral all the time. β
"Stop, stop!" Zhu Yangni's kung fu has already been taught by Zhou Xiuying, she raised her hand to stop Zhu Yangni from continuing to say, "You have said this many times. You say that the Manchus would sell their interests to foreigners in exchange for foreigners giving up their neutrality, which is entirely possible; You said that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not take care of us for the time being, which is also possible; You say that there are many gangs within our Little Knife Society, and it is a mess, I admit it. But everyone in our Little Knife Club is a hero, and we will never withdraw from Shanghai City, nor will we surrender to the Qing Demon. β
"You listened to what I said last time." Zhu Yangni nodded and smiled, "Your father Zhou Lichun was brutally killed by the Manchus, that Jiading Zhixian is your enemy, you naturally can't surrender, and the others may not be able to say it." β
Ding Guoen of Jiading Zhixian County was the chief general of the Qing army who encircled and suppressed the Jiading Knife Society, and when he broke the city, he led the team to capture Zhou Lichun, the leader of the Knife Society, and beheaded 456 pieces, and his hands were stained with the blood of the soldiers of the Knife Society.
Speaking of her tragic death of her father, Zhou Xiuying couldn't help gritting her teeth, "I must take revenge!" β
"I can help a little bit with that." Zhu Yangni covered his chin with a fan, and stared at Zhou Xiuying with a pair of big talking eyes, "If you yourself have one or two hundred loyal subordinates, if you bid reasonably, we can provide a batch of the latest Western muskets and train for two days." β
"You're just helping us, why?" Zhou Xiuying straightened up her strong waist, and her handsome face looked very stunned.
"I'm just a businessman, and businessmen naturally want to chase profits." Zhu Yangni waved his fan lightly and said slowly, "If you have a foreign gun team of one or two hundred people, although you can't eliminate the Qing army in Shanghai, but if you want to eliminate Ding Guoen, it will be easy." β
Zhou Xiuying is not a person who lacks wisdom and resourcefulness, and the bait of revenge for killing her father did not dispel her doubts, "Why do you want to help me, you can make money by selling muskets to Qing Demons." β
The beautiful head shook gently: "The musket cannot be sold to the person I hate." β
Zhou Xiuying was a little surprised, "You hate Qing Demon!" β
Zhu Yangni smiled, "I hate men with braids, this should be our women's right." β
At the same time, the representatives of Britain, the United States and France exchanged words with the leaders of the Little Knife Society in the council hall, and Liu Lichuan and Chen Alin sternly rejected the unreasonable demands of the representatives of the three countries to withdraw from Shanghai City.
In the end, the negotiators did not quite achieve their goal, so they had to leave the chamber in a huff, ready to leave in a carriage. Zhu Yang's graceful figure also floated over from the flower hall.
"Miesju!" The delegates greeted each other and pulled their hats up slightly. Zhu Yangni naturally lifted the hem of her skirt slightly with her left hand and pulled it behind her back, put her left foot behind her right foot, bent her knee deeply, and at the same time raised the lace parasol with her right arm, lowering his eyes.
After getting into the carriage, Gu Wusheng whispered, "You curtsy with an umbrella, and you are so elegant." β
Zhu Yangni glanced at Gu Wusheng, who was sitting opposite him, "If you practice every day, after three months, you will also become elegant." β
Zhu Yangni is a graduate student in psychology, and his eloquence is good, Gu Wusheng consciously changed the topic, "How are you talking?" β
"Everything is normal, Zhou Xiuying's henchmen still have two hundred. It's just that they don't have money, and the silver is all in Liu Lichuan's hands. Zhu Yangni told the story.
Gu Wusheng nodded lightly, "If Liu Lichuan can take the bait, if not, he will be credited." In any case, the knife must not be too weak, otherwise Europe and the United States will have to change their neutral position. β
One by one, the carriages left the city and galloped in the direction of the concession.
Zhu Yangni didn't speak again, just swiped his fan leisurely. Gu Wusheng felt bored and began to study the embroidery on Zhu Yangni's body.
The silk on Zhu Yangni's waist is lavishly embroidered, especially outlining the beautiful and slender bee waist. 20 inches, such a thin waist and her plump breasts form a vivid contrast. Thinking of this, Gu Wusheng raised his gaze slightly, and what caught his eye was the perfect female breasts decorated with tulle crepe pleats. Gu Wusheng's gaze became a little confused, and adjectives "towering, round, plump, and huge" popped out of his brain.
"Lewd!" Two words popped out of Zhu Yangni's mouth, and she was very disdainful, "Help me tie my abdomen every day, and it's so obscene!" β
Since coming to another time and space, in order to create a slender bee waist and attract attention in the social arena, the tight-fitting tunic has almost never left Zhu Yangni's waist. Zhu Yangni's disguise is a secret, and many private jobs can't be helped by maids, and things like helping to change the belly are naturally all Gu Wusheng's work. After more than two months, the relationship between the two of them has become a little ambiguous.
Gu Wusheng hurriedly looked away and smiled, "Beautiful things are naturally eye-catching." β
"It's all your fault, such a hot summer, wearing such a cumbersome and cumbersome outfit, and the chest is so heavy and cumbersome." Zhu Yangni held his chest with both hands and weighed it gently.
"If you don't have breast augmentation, paste silicone latex-room, it will be more uncomfortable in summer." Gu Wusheng persuaded, "It's August, and summer is about to pass, so bear with it." β
"There's still a month or two of hot days!" Zhu Yangni said indignantly.
Gu Wusheng looked outside the carriage and stopped talking.
Zhu Yangni remembered the form that Yunlan asked him to fill out when he reported to Huafu Company. Why did he honestly fill in so much content, what is good at speaking in a female voice, participated in college pseudo-mother club activities, and participated in cospaly competitions.
The next day, Bai Baoxiang, Wang Xietang, and Gu Wusheng talked to him together, although he studied psychology, but the three of them kept saying, "We are an organization that is about to enter the battle, and if you want to join, you must answer all questions truthfully." Remind him repeatedly. There were many questions that he had asked that were difficult for him to answer.
"Why can you make a woman's voice?"
"When did you discover that you could make a woman's voice?"
"Do you have a sexual urge when you're wearing women's clothes? Are you a transvestite? β
"Do you like women? Do you have a girlfriend? β
"Do you like men? Do you have a boyfriend? β
"What is your sexual orientation?"

In the end, Bai Baoxiang coughed twice, "Gu Wusheng is going to take the financial team to the Shanghai Concession, as the head class of the Huafu Foreign Bank that is about to be formed, he needs a charming fiancΓ©e to help him enter the concession social field and open up the situation." Would you like to take part in this cospaly show? β
He asked Bai Baoxiang rhetorically: "Why don't you just find a woman?" β
"Because there are very few female compatriots who participate in the registration of the crossing, there are even fewer female compatriots who are agile, thoughtful, eloquent, and intelligent."
Is this considered a high hat? Zhu Yangni asked again at that time: "How long is this cospaly?" β
"The character you play is a descendant of King Lu and has the royal blood of the Ming Dynasty. All the descendants of the Zhu family will disappear, and so will your character. Up to five years? β
"Five years?"
"At least half a year!"
Zhu Yangni still didn't know how she was confused, so she agreed. As a graduate student in psychology, he once analyzed himself, in fact, what he likes is a stimulating life, there is no pleasure without stimulation, this is the case with taekwondo, this is true when playing Western fencing, and it is also true when playing cospaly.
