Chapter Twenty-Six: The Old Stories of the Kingdom of Heaven
"Mr. Qiao, aren't you scared when little old man sees such a secret?"
Qiao Yu heard him say that he had the intention of rebelling, and there was no expression on his face, as if there was no such thing, which made Shi Shuban a little unnatural.
"Shi Shuban, in the current identity, will you be afraid of going to the whistleblower, even if it is a whistleblower, who will believe it?"
Shi Shuban suddenly shook his head when he heard this, and came to his senses, what kind of identity Qiao Yu is, his family is very prominent in Sichuan, his father was a high-ranking official, and he is also the leader of the business community in Chongqing, whether it is the Qing political axe or the local constitutional party, how can he move to the other party with a little guess with his own small book, it seems that he has lived for such an old age in vain, and he can't win the advantage of momentum in front of this young man.
"Young Master Qiao, Xiao Lao'er has a past I want to tell you, my surname is Shi, my name is Shi Dingzhong, and I am fifty-three years old this year! Sir can guess some! ”
Qiao Yuqi didn't feel anything when he heard this name, but when he thought about his age and name, he suddenly remembered something in his mind, and immediately stood up, pointed to the little old man in front of him, and said in disbelief: "You, are you the descendant of Shi Dakai, the Wing King of Heaven?" Didn't you say that you died by the Dadu River back then? Don't be kidding me, right? ”
Although Qiao Yu has seen a lot of historical figures, he is still very interested in this kind of secrecy that has passed for decades, and there are many debates about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, but no matter which faction, it seems that he has an admiring view of the Winged King Shi Dakai, this Royal Highness the Winged King became famous at a young age, cleaned himself, and used soldiers like a god, and finally unfortunately died in the hands of the Qing army, which is completely in line with all the characteristics of tragic heroes.
"Mr. Qiao, my father had to surrender to the Qing army for the lives of my brothers, but my father also knew that it was difficult to escape the surname, and it happened that at that time, my father's guards found a child who was about the same age as me, and let him replace me, and finally was suffocated to death by the Qing army with lime, and I was protected by several loyal father's guards and left the dangerous place, I was only five years old that year, and now I don't remember what my father looked like, and I have survived until now, if my father sees his child so incompetent, I am afraid he will also beat his chest!"
Qiao Yu listened to Shi Dingzhong talk about the events of the year with great interest, and when he finished speaking, he asked with a smile: "Shi Shuban, if you tell me such secrets, aren't you afraid that I will report to the Qing court?" ”
"Mr. Qiao, I know that you are a person who does great things, I am a useless person, if I don't say some things, I am afraid that I will sink into the sea forever!"
"Useless? How do I remember that in the past few decades, there have been people who have rebelled under the banner of the Winged King, didn't you do it? ”
Shi Dingzhong smiled slightly bitterly, and then shook his head: "How could it be that I did it?" I don't have that much ability, several uncles are all experienced in battles, all of them are injured, they have long been tired of fighting on the battlefield, and they want to live some ordinary people's lives with me, marry wives and have children, and most of those who rebel are White Lotus Sect or the like, if it has anything to do with me, it is that they borrowed the name of their father! ”
"Then you didn't come to me today just to tell me a story, did you? Do you want me to help you avenge and overthrow the Qing court? ”
"Mr. Qiao, I hate the Qing court, but Xiao Lao'er has seen it over the years, the Qing Dynasty is about to die, and now the revolutionary party is making such a big fuss, and there are no capable officials in the local area, plus people's minds have changed, the Qing Dynasty is just stormy, it can't be long, I can see the end of the Qing Dynasty, it is enough to comfort my father and uncles under Jiuquan, I am not young, but Xiao Lao'er has also understood a lot of things over the years, since ancient times, the rise and fall of the dynasty is extremely cruel, and the Qing court is perverse, and it will not be much better, My uncles later also married wives and had children, now the uncles are gone, the children of each family have grown up, my son is named Shi Yi, and now he has just graduated from the crash school, and there are two children, one is called Su Ding, the other is called Yu Jianxiong, they all graduated from the crash school together, I know that you are a person who does great things, I want to entrust these children to you! ”
When Qiao Yu heard that Shi Dingzhong had recommended three military academy talents to himself, he couldn't help but be unmoved, many famous figures who graduated from the Sichuan Army Crash School, such as Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, etc., were also the main force of the Sichuan warlord melee in the future, and these people were all very capable.
He is now very lacking in military talents, so the training of patrol police is based on Han Yong and others, but after all, Han Yong came out of the old-style army, and his ability to accept some new things is limited, and it is okay to train patrol officers, but if you expect him to train a strong army, it will be too much to do, and sometimes Qiao Yu has to go into battle in person, but Qiao Yu has too many things after all, and the team will expand in the future, and he cannot be limited to the current pattern, but he is just a businessman to the outside world, and he really can't recruit military academy students.
Now the Qing political axe is preparing to build a new army, and all those who graduated from military schools are exceptionally reused, or there would not be so many young generals in the early years of the Republic of China, so those military academy students are high-spirited, people can go to the serious army, why come to a patrol team! In addition, Qiao Yu was also afraid of people's irresponsible opinions, so he didn't take the initiative to recruit, but as soon as Shi Dingzhong said this, Qiao Yu suddenly felt that he should recruit some students from regular military schools, and with these people as the team, it was good to form a regular army.
"Shi Shuban, your son and a few other people, as long as they have the ability, they will definitely not be able to treat them badly, although they cannot enter the regular army for the time being, but I believe that they will be able to change soon, they will definitely have a bright future, you can rest assured!"
"Mr. Qiao, you said that you will be able to change soon, do you mean that there will be changes in this world?"
"Shi Shuban, I want to ask you a question, didn't you say that the princes of the Kingdom of Heaven back then didn't know that internal strife would seriously damage their strength, and even bring about destruction? Then why do you say that in the end, it is inevitable that the sword soldiers will meet each other? ”
When Shi Dingzhong heard Qiao Yu mention the old affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he couldn't help but show a painful expression on his face.
"I also thought about it for a long time, it's just the word power, no one can let go of their power, everyone wants to expand their power, as the so-called people see the benefits but do not see the harm, the fish see the food but do not see the hook, and in the end there is no way out!"
Shi Dingzhong is also a smart person, he thought about it a little in his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Mr. Qiao is talking about the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, the Constitutional Party is eager to gain power through constitutionalism, and the Manchu nobles are clinging to power, neither side will back down, the two sides will definitely fall out, and the foundation of this world is in the hands of the gentry, once these people no longer support the Qing Dynasty, this country will be completely finished!" ”
Qiao Yu listened with a smile, not to mention Shi Dingzhong's son, just to say that the thin old man in front of him is not simple, and he can see through the political situation in front of him, which is definitely not a simple character, and Shi Dingzhong's thoughts opened up all of a sudden, and he also looked very excited: "Mr. Qiao, I have observed that you have different aspirations, but I have always wondered why you still fall out with the Revolutionary Party Elders, and now I want to understand, it turns out that you have long seen that the most powerful people in the world are these wealthy businessmen and gentry, and only by encircling them can you have the ability to compete for the world, And those parties are just a rabble, and they can't do anything at all! ”
"Yes and no, the gentry all have some property, and they will not take risks until they have to, so they have to count on those revolutionary parties to fire this first shot, and then the gentry will act, otherwise they will not move!"
"Xiao Lao'er has long seen that Qiao Gongzi is a person who does big things, and I only know Qiao Gongzi's foresight when I talk about it today, and his knowledge is so transparent, I will immediately repair the book for Xiao'er, let him come to Yucheng to obey orders, and please take care of it!"
"Shishuban, you're not a simple person, I just lack a document here, I don't know if you're willing to help!"
"As long as Childe doesn't think I'm old and useless, I'm willing, and I want to tell you one more thing, that is, my father once hid a treasure!"
