Chapter Twenty-Five: I'm Going to Kill People and Sell Goods Again
Song Biao's remarks in this period are absolutely suspected of betraying the country, the source of the outbreak of the Russo-Russian War is still the Russians are too domineering and shameless, after the Boxer Rebellion, countries have withdrawn their troops one after another, but the Russians continue to retain more than 150,000 garrisons in the northeast, and forcefully refuse the Manchu political axe and the withdrawal demands of the great powers of various countries, and the arrogance is very arrogant, and even infiltrate the power into northern Korea.
After a long period of negotiations and negotiations with various countries, in April 1903, Russia decided to gradually withdraw its troops, but put forward seven conditions that it was actually to monopolize the northeast, and after being rejected by the Qing government, in May 1903, the Russian army began to greatly increase its garrison in the northeast, and at the same time forbade foreigners to enter the northeast.
In order to organize Russia to occupy the Northeast, the Qing Zheng Axe proposed to other countries the idea of opening up the commercial ports in the Northeast to try to balance Russia with the help of Britain, the United States, France and other countries, but this proposal was rejected by Russia, and Russia declared that if the Qing Zheng Axe was resolutely open to other countries, Russia would send troops to Yanjing.
At this point, with the support of Britain and the United States and other countries, Yueben began to prepare for war in an all-round way, and launched the Russian-Japanese War in the northeast.
At this time in the Northeast, whether it is the official people, or bandits and horse thieves, everyone supports the Northeast more than Russia, and the arrogance of Russia in the Northeast, the domineering behavior has long been outrageous, in order to collect money and materials and fight with the Northeast, rampant expropriation, forcible robbery and occupation, and at the same time prohibit the exchange of official letters between the Qing political axe and local officials, with the intention of completely occupying the Northeast.
Judging from the current situation, supporting is patriotic, but is this really the case?
Song Biao's words sounded like that, but Hanada Shaozo absolutely did not believe it, he knew the Chinese too well, guessing that the Russians had given Song Biao greater benefits, considering that Song Biao's horse gang originally had a special cooperative relationship with the Russians, Hanada Shaozo felt that this was the only correct answer.
Thinking of this, Hanada Shaozuosuo reminded Song Biao very frankly: "Mr. Song, please believe in our country's determination to form an alliance with the Kwantung heroes, let's put it this way, no matter how the Russians promise to help you, we can completely replace it, and only a little more." ”
Song Biao said to Huatian Shaozuo very seriously: "If the imperial court wants to choose a side and gather people and righteous people to help, I will definitely go." Since the imperial court doesn't choose sides, what else do we small people choose? Right now, I just want to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money and support my family, I don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, so many brothers follow, I still have to find a way to make more money, I hope Hanada Shaozuo understands. ”
Hua Tian Shaozuo said: "Mr. Song, I know that the current grain price in southern Liaoning has risen very sharply, if you agree, we can double the original agreed grain price and buy the grain in your hands at the price of thirty-five silver yuan per quintal." ”
Song Biao waved his hand and said: "When the grain is the most expensive, you have to wait until around the Chinese New Year, 40,000 quintals of grain are hoarded in your hands, and if you don't sell it for a high price of two million silver yuan, I won't give up, don't say anything on this issue." If the end of cooperating with you is to lose hundreds of thousands of silver yuan, isn't that stupid? Are the Chinese as stupid as you think? ”
Hua Tian Shaozuo hurriedly said: "Mr. Song, I have no intention of letting you suffer, the emperor [***] team is indeed short of food at the moment, since you want the price of fifty silver yuan per load, then we can completely agree, but there is an additional condition, that is, you should help us, not help Russia." I said that this empire sincerely wants to make friends with the court and people of your country, and there is absolutely no intention of deception, and I also ask Mr. Song to distinguish between right and wrong, and help our country to defeat the Russian Caucasians together. ”
At this time, the female translator also suddenly reminded: "Mr. Song, you may not know that in order to raise money for the purchase of grain, Liu Zhai mortgaged the Niujiabao Copper Mine to my country's Zhengjin Bank!" ”
The Niujiabao copper mine was mined in the Qianlong period and was not exhausted until the mid-eighties, but there is also a rock-type deep well gold mine below it, which has been mined for a longer time.
If calculated in terms of scale, Niujiabao Copper Mine is a medium-sized copper mine with a high copper content rate.
Song Biao was not surprised, and sneered: "Then you can ask for the master of Liu Zhai, it's really not good, I'll sell it to the Russians if it's a big deal, and sell the grain to them." We are in the business of horse gangs, if you send a large army over, we will take away sixty horses, China is so big, where can you not mix, making money is the most affordable! At this time, you still want to stop me from getting rich, I see that you, the female translator, are also at the level of a pig's head, and you will play a clever lunch and think that you are a baby bump? ”
The female translator's face turned pale, and her silver teeth cracked.
Song Biao didn't know what she gritted her teeth, if it weren't for the fact that she and Hua Tian Shaozuo belonged to the guests, he would have smashed the butt of a gun a long time ago, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that the current Yue Army basically did not train female officers, and the so-called female translator was 100% of the civilian spies trained by the Black Dragon Society, and belonged to the vanguard of the invasion of China, which was largely less than the Yue Army.
He shook his head disdainfully, and was about to get up and leave.
Hanada Nakanosuke originally deliberately indulged the female translator's export threats, but seeing that Song Biao didn't care about this little trick at all, he immediately angrily reprimanded the female translator: "Sachiko, how can you talk to the Lord of Song Village like this, if this matter collapses because of you, can you bear full responsibility?" Apologize to Lord Song Zhai now! ”
Shocking, the female translator suddenly became very docile, and immediately said to Song Biao: "I'm sorry, Lord Song Zhai, I lost my words, and I ask for your forgiveness, I said that this empire has no intention of embarrassing Mr. He, but the commercial contract should still be observed, not to mention that you regard yourself as a businessman, Chinese businessmen have taken honesty as the foundation of their careers since ancient times, please be more cautious!" ”
Song Biao looked at the female translator in surprise and said, "Uncle, do you want you to teach me to do business?" You're a woman with a lot of mouths, you guys talk about things, what are you talking about here? ”
That's what makes it really embarrassing.
Biao Ye was very angry, in fact, they didn't understand what an alternative guy Song Biao was, and even his parents didn't understand him.
Hanada Nakanosuke also had to stand up, bowed to Song Biao and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, I am all disciplining my subordinates, and please calm your anger, don't affect the interaction between our army and Mr. for these trivial things." ”
Song Biao smiled indifferently between being angry and not angry, and replied nonchalantly: "Huatian Shaozuo, I don't want to mention the old accounts of your army sending troops to hunt down me and my brothers, you are an army, there are many guns, and I can't afford to provoke them, but you have to understand that the 40,000 loads of food in my hand were robbed with my life, what does it have to do with you?" I also robbed the copper mine, and in this realm, it is the truth that I can rob it. If you want to prevent me from getting rich, I can only fight with you. Besides, you said that Liu Tongpao borrowed 100,000 silver yuan from you and signed a note, no matter whether this is true or not, it has a fart relationship with me? Am I his heir, or his son? ”
Hanada Nakanosuke was speechless for a while, and was completely powerless to refute Song Biao logically, but still discussed: "It is indeed our mistake, but since the commercial contract has been signed, if Liu Zhai is unable to repay, my country's Zhengjin Bank can only accept the property rights of the copper mine." ”
Song Biao said: "Don't be so troublesome, it's really a loss to deal with you, let's talk about the matter of Zhengjin Bank and the copper mine later, I don't have money at the moment, and I want to continue to hoard grain, and then sell it at a high price." As for other things, I don't think I'll talk about it today, pillar, send off guests for me! ”
"Yes, big boss!"
Zhao Tingzhu was already secretly snickering, he naturally knew that Song Biao was not such a stingy person, but in dealing with these little people's wrists, their Biao Ye was really very biao, and he didn't give a smile after eating other people's twelve gold bars for nothing.
Hanada Nakanosuke originally wanted to talk about some things about the wind and snow, but since Song Biao had already intended to send off the guests, he was embarrassed to continue to stay and chat, so he had to get up and say, "I'm really sorry, then I'll come back later, Mr. Song, there will be a date later!" ”
Song Biao arched his hand and said: "There will be a period later, Huatian Shaozuo, when I clean up the in the village, let's talk about it again!" ”
Zhao Tingzhu raised his hand with a smile, and said to Hanada Nakanosuke: "I'm sorry, Hanada Shaozuo, please!" ”
Hanada Nakanosuke had no choice but to leave the Nandianzi Inn with the group of soldiers around him under the escort of Zhao Tingzhu. When they left, Song Biao was very dissatisfied and ordered the shopkeeper: "I threw away Xiao Yueben's teacup, and gave me a pot of tea, it's really fucking unlucky!" ”
The shopkeeper nodded, replaced the teacup himself, and was about to speak, when a burst of gunfire suddenly came from outside the inn, crackling so violently that everyone was taken aback.
Song Biao hurriedly ran to the door of the inn, but saw stray bullets flying on the street, and a group of Russians actually entered Nandian Tunzi, which happened to collide with Hanada Nakanosuke's group of soldiers, and the two sides immediately shot indiscriminately.
This group of Russian soldiers is still more than 70 people, and they are also protecting a horse gang, where can these dozen or so soldiers of Huatian Shaozuo stop so many Russian soldiers, and they will soon suffer heavy damage, but fortunately, Zhao Tingzhu and the other brothers flashed quickly, and immediately withdrew to the inn with the brothers.
Hanada Nakanosuke and the female translator were embarrassed to flee back to the inn, shooting while retreating, they fled extremely embarrassed, and they were about to retreat, Song Biao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly rushed forward and kicked Hanada Nakanosuke out, and kicked the female translator at the door of the inn together.
Without waiting for these little ones to react, Song Biao had already closed the door of the inn.
There was a rain of bullets outside, and I don't know how many people died.
