Chapter 66: The Age of Heroes

The people in the room stood up one after another and greeted Sun Wu, who also politely returned the salute.

"Yaoqing, don't go to bed so late, what are you doing here with me? The autumn breeze has to be in the daytime. Zhao Bei greeted him and shook hands with Sun Wu. Sun Wu had remained in the army since the Jiujiang meeting, but instead of joining the Republican Army, he planned to go with Zhao Bei to Hanyang to receive the arsenal so that he could get guns and bring them back to Hunan to support the uprising of the Communist Association.

"First, I want to thank the commander-in-chief, your batch of guns is very important for the Hunan revolution, and I thank the commander-in-chief on behalf of all the comrades of the Communist Party." Sun Wu bowed to Zhao Bei, and then said: "These two are here, I want to ask the commander-in-chief to open a road and let us cross the river, now the blockade on the Yangtze River is strict, there is no road, no one should think about crossing the river." ”

Zhao Bei did not break his promise, as soon as he occupied the arsenal, he allocated 2,000 Hanyang-made rifles and five cannons, and handed them to Sun Wu.

"In such a hurry? Can't walk again during the day? Zhao Bei asked.

"According to the information from the Hankou side, the Communist Advancement Association had already revolted yesterday, and the urgent military report from the Hunan government had reached the Hankou Concession, so we could not wait, and we had to go to Hunan immediately, because these guns and artillery were the guarantee for the success of the revolution, and if we delayed it, the comrades in Hunan would suffer one more day's sacrifice." Sun Wu said.

In order to turn a spark into a prairie fire, it is inseparable from the provinces to respond to the revolution. Zhao Bei hurriedly wrote a note and covered the "pioneer officer" with the guard. Because he was in a hurry to go west during these days, he had no time to carve a new seal, so he had been using the seal given to him by Xiong Chengji, but just now Liu Qingen, the superintendent of the arsenal, had promised to carve a copper seal for him, and I believe that Zhao Bei will soon be able to have his own customs defense.

Sun Wu took the note, said a few more polite words, and then left in a hurry.

Zhao Bei sent him out, looked at Sun Wu's back, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, the revolutionary position of these revolutionaries is firm, which history has proven, if they can be included in the command, it may not be their own help, but the problem is that although Zhao Bei sincerely invited Sun Wu to join the republican army, and even promised to let him be the division commander, but he still did not pull him over.

Now under this chaotic situation, everyone has their own thoughts, Zhao Bei is determined to rewrite China's modern history, to get rid of the revolutionaries and do their own thing, who can guarantee that only he Zhao Bei has this thought? Lose its deer, the world chases it, this era is the era of heroes and heroes, who is willing to fall behind others? Zhao Bei refused, Sun Wu also refused, Xiong Chengji and Yang Wangpeng probably didn't either.

This is an era of change, an era of heroes, and an era of reckless carp jumping over the dragon gate! If you catch up, you will be famous in history, and those who can't catch up can only be forgotten by history.

History will only give those who are ambitious a chance, and if they succeed in seizing this opportunity, then ambition can become ambition, and heroes can become heroes.

History is written by the victors, and it has been so since ancient times.

"I am familiar with the process of history, and I have a small ambition, history should be able to give me a chance, it depends on whether I can grasp it." Zhao Bei looked at a few hazy stars in the night sky and quietly pondered in his heart.

A gust of cold wind blew on his face, so that Zhao Bei was excited, pulled the sheepskin jacket on his shoulder, and was about to step into the door, but he saw a person running from afar, so he stood still, and waited for the person to run to the headquarters before he saw clearly, it was Tian Jinfu, the captain of the guard.

"Commander, I can't do that job anymore, so you better find someone else to do it." Tian Jinfu said with a grin.

"What? Sheng Xuanhuai is defenseless, you can't stand it? Zhao Bei asked rhetorically. After Sheng Xuanhuai came back, he was kept in a warehouse, and Tian Jinfu led people to watch, and he was not allowed to seek death, let alone escape.

"You don't know, the guy surnamed Sheng is screaming and scolding in the house, saying that the Japanese must be firing, and I'm annoyed listening outside! If it hadn't been for the commander's order, I would have shot him with one shot. Tian Jinfu unbuttoned his collar, sighed, and said: "Simply, pull it to the river, cut it with a knife, and give him a good time!" Dog officer, he is afraid of foreigners, thinking that others are also afraid of foreigners like him, the Japanese dare to open fire, Lao Tzu is not without artillery, do it happily! ”

"You can't cut it! He is my God of Wealth, and he is of great use! Zhao Bei pulled the sheepskin jacket. Let's go and see the God of Wealth. ”

The two rushed to the warehouse and found a signing room by the warehouse, Zhao Bei was waiting inside, and a few guards with horse lanterns stood aside, with guns on their shoulders and knives out of their sheaths, making a murderous appearance.

After a while, Tian Jinfu slipped Sheng Xuanhuai's collar and lifted him to Zhao Bei, and when the horse light shone, the round fat face was full of horror, which is also understandable, where has Sheng Daren seen this formation since his debut?

Zhao Bei took a few steps closer and looked at this celebrity in modern Chinese history. This person has no other strengths, that is, he can do business, and he is doing business while being an official, he can be called the first official and businessman in modern China, and the "red-topped businessman" Hu Xueyan is different, Hu Xueyan's top is just an honorary title, and this Sheng Xuanhuai is a serious Qing court official, and the first fire of the "Xinhai Revolution" in history was actually lit by him.

"Master Shan, has the business been good in recent years?" Zhao Bei asked.

Sheng Xuanhuai snorted coldly, did not answer, raised his hand to comb his collar, and pulled his braids, regaining some composure.

Zhao Bei saw that he didn't speak, smiled, and said: "Master Sheng is well-informed, he must already know the nickname of the contemptible person, that's right, I am a 'house raider', especially like to copy the Manchu dog official." Of course, my news is also very well-informed, at least I know that your nickname is 'Beiyang God of Wealth', Yuan Shikai's Beiyang fist, you are Beiyang's money bag, Li Hongzhang promoted you back then, I am afraid that I took a fancy to your 'wealth'. ”

"Humph! Less nonsense! Sheng is deeply favored by the country and will never be disobedient! Life is a person of the Qing Dynasty, and death is a ghost of the Qing Dynasty! Kill or chop whatever you want! Sheng Xuanhuai looked contemptuous, but the shaking calves still betrayed his fear.

Zhao Bei looked at Sheng Xuanhuai, moved his steps, and slowly circled around him twice, then unhurriedly stretched out his right hand, erected two fingers, picked it up in front of Sheng Xuanhuai's eyes, and said slowly: "Two million, a price." ”

"What?" Sheng Xuanhuai looked at those two fingers and couldn't figure out what the other party was talking about.

"Ransom silver, two million silver dollars, no counteroffer." Zhao Bei shook those two fingers back and forth. "Within fifteen days, put two million oceans in front of me, and I will let you go, or you will rot here." Considering you won't be able to raise that much cash in a short period of time, this is a fair price. ”

"You...... You're kidnapping! Sure enough, it's a rogue! Brigand! Bandit! Sheng Xuanhuai came back to his senses for a long time, scolding in his mouth, but he was relieved in his heart, as long as the other party is willing to accept the cash, everything is easy to discuss, I am afraid that the other party will come up and say nothing, and it will be a knife to pull it out, then I am really sorry for his good head.

"Robbers? Brigand? Hehe, that's right, according to the jargon of the green forest, this is called 'pulling fat pigs'. Zhao Bei sneered, withdrew his fingers, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and then slapped the paper on the square table behind him with a "snap", and said, "Who is the robber?" Who are the bandits? Exploit the people, damage the public and private, and poison the world! Such people are robbers, bandits! I'm not kidnapping tickets, I'm just seeking justice for the people of the world! Even if I'm kidnapping the ticket, it's much better than you losing power and humiliating the country! ”

"You...... You are talking nonsense! Sheng Xuanhuai began to tremble again, this hat is too big, Rao is now the second grade of his official residence, and he can't afford to wear it. However, he really has nothing to argue, because he has seen clearly that the piece of paper that Zhao Bei touched out was not an ordinary paper, but the "Han Yeping Acquisition Charter" drawn up by the Japanese, although I don't know how this thing fell into the hands of this anti-thief leader, but it is obvious that any article in the charter will cause anger among the Chinese people.
