Chapter 589: Where is the home country?

The red and black sea cannon mountain swept past the Siniang fleet, crushed to the west, several soft sail sea carp ships surrounded by, the land and sea fled in the past two days, and their lives hung by a thread, and now they finally turned the corner, and everyone settled down, and their bodies and minds softened.

Siniang still lifted her spirit, looked at Zhou Kunlai, and saw that he was also relieved, and finally couldn't help asking: "What is the benefit of this matter to you?" ”

Fleeing all the way, Zhou Kunlai's actions far exceeded what the hostages were forced to do, and seeing his expression again, Siniang became more and more incomprehensible about this person's intentions.

Zhou Kunlai sat with his back against the side of the boat, his hand was still rubbing his injured knee, and he smiled: "I said earlier, I want to be a businessman, this is to prove my sincerity, the sincerity of a businessman." Siniang frowned, Zhou Kunlai's meaning she had already tasted, what is a businessman, that is, he will not belong to any party, only for his own benefit. Zhou Kunlai helped Siniang rescue the Lu family, wanting to pay off the previous debt owed to Yinghua, and at the same time to create the illusion to Li Wei that he was still serving Yinghua, and also to convey to Li Wei the willingness of the two parties to continue to cooperate.

Zhou Kunlai's voice was mixed with the sound of cannons, and it seemed very distant: "At the beginning, Li Wei found me and Gan Fengchi in Jiangnan and asked us to serve the northern court. Under coercion and inducement, we had to give in.

After being caught by this court, I don't know what Gan Fengchi thinks, I think it's not bad to serve this court, I am sincere when I nose, even if I am disabled, I have no complaints

"I'm in Jiangnan, I've done a lot of things for the Heaven and Earth Society, and the court here hasn't treated me badly, originally I was looking forward to the court recovering Jiangnan in the future, and I can get my job right and return home."

"Perhaps carried away by this thought, Lou began to use his brains on Li Wei, pretending to switch to him, wanting to bury an inside line beside him."

"Gan Fengchi also knew that he was sent to Jiangnan by the Military Intelligence Department to cooperate with my operation, but I failed. Li Wei saw through my intentions, he didn't have the courage to fight back against the black cat of the Military Intelligence Department, but he killed the subordinates I used to communicate with the Military Intelligence Department, making Gan Fengchi suspicious of me,"

Then there was a bloody storm, and Li Wei was once again mighty. There are too many details, so much that I am afraid that I will have to talk about three days and two nights, in short, I am different from Gan Fengchi, he is a lonely man in Jiangnan, but I am the head snake in Jiangnan, there are too many grievances in Jiangnan, which is why he entered the Military Intelligence Department and I entered the Heaven and Earth Society. ”

Zhou Kunlai's face is very ugly at the moment, although Siniang is not familiar with the Heaven and Earth Society, but as a black cat, Huang Er has also told her a lot of inside stories of the Heaven and Earth Society, and she can understand what kind of torment Zhou Kunlai's heart has endured in this process.

Zhou Kunlai said again: "I'm not a scholar, I don't understand any big truths, but I also understand the name of righteousness, and it is impossible for me to sincerely serve Li Wei and the northern court." But Gan Fengchi's side has made me carry too much blood debt, both north and south, and it is impossible for me to go back to the south."

This was said in a subtle way, Liu Songding snorted angrily beside him, and Siniang vaguely understood that Gan Fengchi must have killed a lot of people who were familiar with Zhou Kunlai, maybe there were still relatives, and Zhou Kunlai naturally had to fight back. Although Li Wei provoked this, the blood feud was difficult to dissolve.

Zhou Kunlai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Back then, I and Gan Fengchi, but we were good brothers, and we couldn't be better," and the next thing was very clear Zhou Kunlai, in order to protect himself, drugged Gan Fengchi through the internal line of the Praetorian Guard Bureau, making him an untrustworthy person.

Siniang was silent for a long time and said: "Now you are taking advantage of the Lu family's matter to make Li Wei think that you are still trusted by us to get rid of his control?" Not bad"""

Siniang shook her head: "Very good story, even if what you said is true, no one trusts you anymore, I'm afraid you don't know who you are." ”

Zhou Kunlai sighed, "Yes, for a while, I felt that there was no way out, but the experience under the court here reminded me." His eyes flashed with light, "The world is so big, the northern and southern courts have not been able to occupy all of them, and why do I have to throw myself into which court?" From now on, I will be a businessman, and I will do business without sinning against each other. He stood up, although he was not tied by a rope, but his knee was injured, and it was difficult to move without crutches, and Siniang and the others didn't care much, just waiting for his next step. …,

"The matter of the Lu family is not only to let Li Wei know that I am not his dog, but also to let the court here know that although I no longer serve the court, I can still be useful," Then Zhou Kunlai had a weird smile on his face, and his mouth did not stop.

"The matter of the inside line of the Praetorian Guard Department is just a disguise, I happen to know the ugly story of a Praetorian Guard official colluding with someone from the Jiangnan Ticket Bank to make profits, and threatened him to do something in Gan Fengchi's behavior, which does not involve the official family at all"""As soon as the words fell, he leaned back, turned over and jumped out of the side of the boat, and when Siniang and others woke up, there was only a splash left on the sea.

Everyone raised their guns and wanted to shoot, but Siniang shook her hand to stop: "Forget it, he also gave a clue, let's go back and find out." If he tells a lie, send a message to Li Wei at that time, so that Li Wei will no longer believe him. Siniang didn't fully believe in Zhou Kunlai's story, but she felt that this person's intention to have another way of life between the north and the south was credible. Aren't the same with the scholars who made the Lu Liuliang case?

For the shoe court, whether it is Nantou or another way to make a living, it is intolerable. And Siniang felt that her own country was tolerated, which was why she wanted to save the Lu family, and even made a promise to let them go overseas.

What the shoe court wants is a sealed iron bucket, but what its own country wants is an iron pot with a mouth. The former covers the sky, talking about the Manjun as the sky, but the latter is opening the sky, and what he is seeking is only the bottom limit, the bottom limit of being able to raise his head and stand tall and be a man.

As long as this bottom limit is not broken, the heavens are vast, everyone can coexist, then again, the foundation of this country is the bottom of businessmen, Zhou Kunlai wants to be a businessman, so naturally he has to talk about the law of businessmen, how can he be closer to this country.

Zhou Kunlai's matter, can only wait to go back and then verify, when Siniang got on the Qinshan, someone greeted her, but another thing suddenly churned in her heart, before she was worried, the official family sent such a huge reinforcement for her, and now the appearance of this person has made this anxiety several times heavier.

"Sure enough, he is Sanniang's beloved apprentice, and he was born to collapse and turn up a big storm"

The person who came was Xiao Sheng, followed by Meng Songhai, with a bitter face, presumably because of Xiao Sheng, who lost the opportunity to lead the army alone, and was full of unhappiness.

"The Qinshan was launched for sea trials, just using the shoes of the Jiangnan Naval Division as a target to practice artillery skills, but it is not just for Siniang."

Xiao Sheng explained like this, as if he was excusing Li Xian, but this sound very awkward, how can there be such a "just" thing?

"It's really by the way, the Taishan is on trial, Feng Saifang is going to Ryukyu, and then His Majesty said that Siniang is in Jiangnan and needs to be picked up, and Jiang sees that Lu Liuliang's family will also be picked up, and these things will be done together."

Seeing that Siniang still didn't believe it, Xiao Sheng hurriedly told all the reasons. Hearing so many things together, Siniang also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was not for her, otherwise the official family would be poked in the spine by the countrymen, saying that it was a woman's big fight.

Feng Saifang is Feng Jingyao, the Privy Council's Department of Defense, and another nickname is "Feng Colonial", where the people go, it means that they have become the colonial target of the British and Chinese, and now they are going to the Ryukyus, and they are also carrying a fleet headed by two giant ships, and the intention is very obvious.

Siniang didn't care much about this, and what she noticed was another sentence, "The official family is also here to pick up the Lu family!?" ”

Xiao Sheng laughed and said: "Your Majesty said that if Siniang knew about this, I was afraid that she would rush to the front to save the Lu family, and she was really said by Your Majesty." That's right, there were guys who were stupid in reading before, making trouble in the north and south, and the clues were all traced to Lu Liuliang in Jiangnan. Your Majesty thinks that Lu Liuji's family still has the character of a scholar who distinguishes between Huayi, so how can he save it."

Siniang smiled brightly, she saved the Lu family before, but she was still uneasy in her heart, in case Li Shi had other ideas, did she cause trouble for him, and learned that Li Shi was with her heart, her heart was both relaxed and sweet.

Xiao Sheng wanted to lead the army to continue north, and Siniang, Lu Jia and others were sent south by a team of sea carp ships. It seems to sense that Siniang is like an arrow, and this team of sea carp ships galloped and entered the mouth of the Pearl River on the eighth day.

"It is said that such a fast ship can travel from Whampoa to Lisbon in four months, and Minister An Luan took such a fast ship to Europa to thank Minister Xie? The Navy has changed a lot in recent years. …,

"This is a three-masted longitudinal carp express ship specially used for communication, which is different from ordinary county-level warships. Don't nag about it, Siniang will help you speak, and His Majesty has also allowed the Commander-in-Chief to set up an Intelligence Department under the Admiralty of the Commander-in-Chief. ”

"This is a business matter, how can you let Siniang speak? By then, the cat demon won't have to kill me, hey, that's ...... What kind of giant ship is that? Why is it so big? ”

The small fleet was heading towards the Whampoa Wharf, and Liu Songding and Meng Songhai were chatting energetically, when they suddenly found three huge ships lying in the dock of the Whampoa Shipyard, one was the double-deck war rower Huashan of the same level as the Qinshan, which was already amazing in shape, and the other two were even more majestic, almost two laps larger than the Huashan.

Meng Songhai said: "It's not a warship, it's a 6,000-material sea ship, which is used to carry people, livestock and bulk goods to the open sea. One was made by the Luzon Company and the other was made by the Pacific Company. Pacific Company? I heard that it was His Majesty's own royal company, and His Majesty had given up a lot of business to the private sector, and even the stock market could not be re-entered, so he had to go overseas to do business."

Liu Songding said indignantly: "Your Majesty has made money, and he is also subsidizing the country, and this group of domestic industry and commerce is really gaining an inch!" ”

Siniang came over, and when she heard this, she sneered: "The official family will no longer subsidize the country in the future, and the royal family and a country will settle accounts in the future."

Songhai, I've been gone for a few months, and the affairs of the East and West Houses have not yet come to fruition? ”

Meng Songhai said disapprerovingly: "The West Court was elected early, but the East Court has not yet been decided because Fujian and Hunan provinces are still competing for places. The Eastern Court is not elected, and the Financial Law

If the case can't be decided, the Nanhai Company doesn't dare to share the dividend, so I'll wait for the dividend to marry my daughter-in-law. ”

Siniang slapped Meng Songhai with the appearance of an eldest sister: "Don't talk nonsense, what dividends do you still rely on in the South China Sea Company?" Your father, you, and your brother Meng Songjiang are all shareholders of Qingtian Company, and the official family hasn't helped you earn enough in the stock market before!? ”

Liu Songding said with a smile: "He is going to marry the daughter of the Chen family in Hoi An, and if he doesn't pay a dowry, he will erase the name of the Luhai Sanmeng family." ”

They were talking and laughing freely, while Lu Yizhong's family was already in a daze when they saw the big ship, and when they heard their words, they felt that they were in an extremely strange world.

When the battleship docks and goes up to the dock, what you see in front of you and what you hear with your ears is a completely new atmosphere.

The gantry crane stood high, and the workers shouted the number to push the roulette wheel and use the gantry crane to load and unload the goods. Horse-drawn carriages kept going back and forth, along the railroad tracks, between the docks and the tall warehouses. Farther away, under the cascading eaves of green tiles, the gray and white buildings stretch out endlessly like a forest.

Lu Yizhong and his wife and children were dazzled, and Siniang said on the side: "The master can settle down in the Whampoa Academy first, and how to go depends on the eldest son's own mind, but the official family must want to meet the master." ”

Lu Yizhong nodded: "I also want to meet the official family." ”

It is still difficult to determine what future the clansmen are looking for, but he has already made plans along the way.
