(Chapter 82 has been revised, mainly in terms of armament, mainly to change the 155-mm gun to the Type 59-1 130-mm plus howitzer, remove the Krupp gun, and add the Type 56 85mm gun.) ）

Not surprisingly, the leader of the Liberation Society who came to contact this time was Tao Chengzhang himself.

In fact, the first person who was interested in Li Zhigao and sent Yin Ruizhi to investigate was Tao Chengzhang, which shows that he attaches great importance to the Taiping Mansion and Li Zhigao, and later Yin Ruizhi took several telegrams in a row and wrote a long letter to explain the situation, Tao Chengzhang was even more interested.

After receiving the letter, Tao Chengzhang was very interested, and originally wanted to go to Taiping Mansion to see it immediately, but at that time, Qing Zhengaxe was wanted everywhere, and many people did not agree with him to return to China immediately. In this way, he had no choice but to go to Nanyang first to establish the executive headquarters, and at the same time, he also observed and observed first, anyway, with Yin Ruizhi, he was not afraid of anything.

In this way, Tao Chengzhang dragged on in Nanyang for half a year, and when he finished dealing with the construction of the headquarters, the time had already entered October, and because he had not severed his contact with Yin Ruizhi, he was even more interested in Taiping Mansion. Although there were still many things to be done on the Nanyang side, he still couldn't hold back, and finally at the beginning of November, he brought a group of young backbones of the Liberation Society to come over in person.

However, Tao Chengzhang's luck was not as good as Yin Ruizhi, when he came to Taiping Mansion, it happened that Li Zhigao was not there, so the reception work was all in charge of Liu Runsheng, the second-in-command here, of course, Yin Ruizhi was also specially transferred to accompany him, and at the same time, he was accompanied by Zhou Zhengbin, the director of the Security Bureau.

When Tao Chengzhang and the others disembarked at the Taipingfu wharf, they didn't have time to smack their tongues at the prosperity of the wharf, so they were startled by the puff of those who greeted him!

Without him, Liu Runsheng is fine, although it is a little strange in a suit, and the placket is actually on the right side, but it is barely passable, but Zhou Zhengbin's black SS dress can really make the young people of the Liberation Association dizzy, and Zhou Zhengbin also blatantly cut his braids! Even if he had a shaved head!

In addition, even Yin Ruizhi's American-style Kuomintang officer uniform made those members of the Restoration Society who came with Tao Chengzhang mutter, that is, outsiders were present, so they didn't come up to ask carefully.

However, Tao Chengzhang is a person who has seen the world, and he has always been determined and informal, so although he also felt strange when he first met, he was different from those other members of the Restoration Society who came over, his complexion did not change at all, and his brows did not wrinkle.

Tao Chengzhang's performance made Liu Runsheng nod secretly, because from this point alone, it can show that he is different, you know, Liu Runsheng was also a little resistant to these clothes at the beginning, but he has now completely boarded Li Zhigao's thief ship, so he has full acceptance, but it took a lot of time to fully adapt, and when other people saw him dressed up, they almost didn't show strange or curious looks.

This is normal, if you change in modern society, and suddenly see a man wearing Hanfu on the street, you will also take a few more looks, if you change to a girl, you will look at it even more, even if you know that Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han people.

In the same way, Liu Runsheng's group of people either wore glorious party uniforms with Han-style suits, SS uniforms, or American-style Kuomintang uniforms, which were absolutely mavericks in this era, and everyone felt weird, that is, Li Zhigao himself thought it was good. It can be said that if it weren't for Li Zhigao's forced implementation within the party members and cadres, everyone would treat these clothes as something like a name, and if they had to change their clothes and let them choose their own clothes, I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to wear such a outfit.

This shows that the power of traditional habits is very strong, unless it is enforced, otherwise even if Li Zhigao thinks things are good-looking, they may not be immediately popular, just like in Li Zhigao's army, because it is not enforced, so although many soldiers have accepted the anti-Qing ideology, there are still many people with braids, which is proof.

In short, after a little greeting on the dock, the next thing is that Liu Runsheng will be the host, and first pick everyone up to go to the restaurant for lunch.

When picking up people, the people from the Liberation Society were surprised again, because Liu Runsheng actually let everyone take the car! And it's a high-end car that I've never seen before!

In fact, the cars that pick up the people who come to the Guangfu will be Li Zhigao's Chang'an Starlight van, which is really resistant to manufacturing and cheap, especially suitable for running on the road of Taipingfu, whether outside the city or in the city, you can have fun freely.

As for whether this kind of car is eye-catching, this Li Zhigao doesn't care for a long time, anyway, this is his territory, and his military strength is outstanding, from the army to the police, all the violent organs are completely controlled by the Glorious Party, and the control over the Taiping Mansion is unprecedented, so he can do whatever he wants here, and no one dares to talk nonsense.

Moreover, the car is not strange after a long time, so for a van like Chang'an Xingguang, outsiders may be surprised, but for locals, there is nothing unusual for a long time.

Chang'an Xingguang This kind of car is currently mainly used by Liu Runsheng's political axe department, that is, the Advisory Bureau and the police department, to put it bluntly, it is an official car, of course, it can only be used by officials, such as Liu Runsheng, the speaker of the parliament and the police chief.

After getting into the car, the young people of the Liberation Society were very curious, looking left and right, and kept asking questions, of course, mainly to ask Yin Ruizhi, and Yin Ruizhi seemed to have already realized it, so he basically had to answer all questions.

Tao Chengzhang, who sat with Liu Runsheng, did not pay attention to cars, but the flow of people on both sides of the road.

To be honest, Tao Chengzhang used to travel all over the world, and it was not that he had never been to Taiping Mansion, but now Taiping Mansion made him feel a little strange, not that the city's infrastructure has changed too much, but the flow of people.

At this time, the Taiping Mansion, because of various favorable policies, the foreign population has been quite large, and the streets are full of people, but because of the control of the police, they are more obedient, such as in the middle of the street, pedestrians can not walk, can only walk on the side, because the middle is for cars and carriages.

"So you're doing road control?" Hearing this, Tao Chengzhang frowned for the first time, "This seems to be a bit too domineering, right?" ”

"It's for everyone's good." Liu Runsheng smiled, "At the beginning, I also had doubts about this forced traffic control measure, after all, at that time, the foreign population was still relatively small, and our vehicles were few, but later, with more and more people, and after our imported cars and carriages were also increasing, the existing roads in the city were not good." As you can see, in this case, if there is no mandatory traffic control, it will be very chaotic and can easily cause accidents. ”

"Then why don't you expand the road?" Tao Chengzhang asked again, "You should have this strength, right?" ”

"It's not that the chairman won't let it." Liu Runsheng smiled bitterly, "Our chairman, oh, that is, Lord Li, what did he say about retaining the characteristics of ancient buildings, not allowing casual demolition and reconstruction in the city, saying that it is to leave a legacy for future generations, as for the small pattern, in fact, we have already built a new city outside the city, if you are interested, I can take you to the construction site later." ”

"Oh." Tao Chengzhang nodded, and then took a closer look again, but soon found a scene that surprised him.

It turned out that because the convoy of their group was very special, they carried out road control all the way, that is, the main street was closed, and before the march, pedestrians were not allowed to go to the street casually, and there were police escorts.

However, just now, the convoy suddenly stopped, because at the intersection in front, two foreign devils on bicycles accidentally broke in, and they were stopped by the police, because they were not satisfied with the road control, and began to argue with the police blocking the road.

The two foreign devils were white, wearing suits, and looked like they were in their thirties, and they were very arrogant at first, and they started beating people after saying a few words to the police, but they didn't expect the policeman who was knocked to the ground to be afraid at all, and actually took out a revolver and pointed it at the two foreign devils, which stunned the two foreigners on the spot.

After that, the policeman who was punched pointed a gun at the two foreigners, while blowing a whistle, soon a few policemen came over, handcuffed the two foreigners in public and escorted them away, many people who saw all this applauded and cheered, and the policeman who was punched actually hugged his fists in all directions while walking, looking heroic.

"This, this ......" Tao Chengzhang, who saw this scene, was really surprised at this moment, and hurriedly asked Liu Runsheng, who also saw this scene, "They, those policemen, are they escorting foreigners?" ”

"Seems to be." Liu Runsheng nodded, and then asked a security bureau guard sitting in the co-pilot to get out of the car and ask him to inquire about the situation.

Soon, the escort in the SS uniform came and reported the situation.

It turned out that the two white men were British, and they had just come here, and they didn't know much about the situation, so they played scoundrels, and now they have been sent to the police station and imprisoned, and the follow-up will depend on the situation at the police station.

"I see." Liu Runsheng nodded with a smile, "It seems that there are two megalomaniacs, it's okay, I have seen a lot of this kind of person, and I will remember my surname for two days." ”

"Two days?" Tao Chengzhang's expression was serious, "If it's really British, they seem to have extraterritoriality, can you arrest people casually?" Wouldn't it cause protests from the British? ”

"Protest? Hehe, that thing doesn't work for us. Liu Runsheng smiled, "Actually, our Taiping Mansion has just signed a memorandum of understanding with the consuls of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France, and on our territory, the people of these countries must abide by the order we have established and do not enjoy extraterritoriality!" ”

"Can they agree?" Tao Chengzhang asked.

"Of course they agree." Liu Runsheng smiled, "Because if we don't agree, we will refuse to provide special drugs and special goods to this country, and we will still enforce our strategy, and everyone will not look good at that time." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Runsheng paused, and then said: "You must know how popular our goods are, but these are not the main ones, the key is our special medicine." Hehe, these foreign devils, with their eyes in the sky, used to not believe that we could produce good medicines, but they had to make a plague and kill so many people before they were convinced of the efficacy of our medicines. According to the words of the chairman, foreigners are cheap, donkeys, drag not leaving, fight backwards, and only have to be taught a lesson to talk calmly with you. But now, the situation has changed, it is they who need us more than we need them, it is they who cry and cry for us, so the advantage is mine, so in our territory, they must listen to us! ”

Hearing Liu Runsheng say this, Tao Chengzhang nodded, because of the plague that had just occurred in October, he had also heard a little about it in Nanyang, and it was because of that great plague that the special effect Chinese medicine of Taiping Mansion became famous all over the world, and it was precisely because of this that he strengthened his belief in coming over to contact him quickly.
