Chapter 70 Huo Yuanjia, the leader of the footsteps
Sheng Xuanhuai saw everything clearly, but he didn't want to say much at all, whatever Li Hongzhang commanded, he would do it, as long as his own abacus was launched, he would not suffer losses, he would not leak money, and the rest, let it go.
Li Hongzhang thought that if so many spies were dug up at once, beaten hard, and the British pressed the formation, the Japanese would inevitably be much more honest and would never dare to provoke a war. As soon as the matter passed in his mind, he didn't bother to think about it anymore, and asked about Yang Hao instead: "That little child surnamed Yang, how is his behavior?" β
Zhang Peilun replied: "He once visited the American consul Shi Meade, and met Yan several times in the afternoon. It is said that Shi has left for the capital, or to walk for the concession. β
"What did he do with Yan Fu?"
Li Hongzhang has a lot of opinions about the general office of the Beiyang Naval Master Academy, which has a different temper with him, but he pities his rare talents, so he is not good. In the past two years, Yan Fu has made a fuss, and it is said that he is going to resign and quit.
Zhang Peilun sighed secretly, thinking that this Yan Youling was really hopeless. At the beginning, he recommended Yan Fu to Li Hongzhang, and felt that this person had great talent and could be reused. Where did you expect it to be so out of place, people can't talk about it. Thinking of his current situation, he couldn't help but feel sympathy, so he had to help say a few more good words.
"I heard that Yan Youling has a lot of attainments in Western studies, and I don't know if I visited him."
Li Hongzhang snorted lightly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" I see that the Yang family child is not holding back a good fart, maybe he wants to explore the details of the old man. The fire in the British Concession and the involvement of Japanese spies had nothing to do with him. Hmph, his intentions are impure and his motives are suspicious! β
Zhang Peilun's head was sweating at that time. He knows too well how ruthless his old father-in-law is, and he will never be merciful to those who dare to come out and try to make trouble. Back then, when the Taiping Army killed the twister, tens of thousands of people died under its hands, and there was no sand in their eyes!
For fear of implicating Yan Fu, he hurriedly said: "I'm going to remind Yan Youling, don't make a mistake, and draw a line with that Yang Hao." β
Sheng Xuanhuai was not happy, Yang Hao was the first to find him, in case he found out that there was a problem with this person, he couldn't say it clearly. However, his mind is much more active, and he reminded: "At present, we still don't know what kind of origin he is, what kind of plot he has, and what kind of relationship he has with the Americans. β
Li Hongzhang's eyelids drooped: "Let's go!" is just a child, and he doesn't need to move the people, and he doesn't lose his identity. It's watching. β
In the final analysis, Li Zhongtang is also a person who is afraid of trouble, no matter what, Yang Hao is pulling the banner of the Americans, and at this critical time, don't make any diplomatic problems
, but make yourself uncomfortable.
This espionage case has involved Japan, Britain, France, and the Qing Dynasty, and the next few days inside and outside Beijing and Tianjin, as well as all parts of the country, will inevitably be turbulent, and countless changes will take place inside and out.
In addition, the Beiyang Naval Division and even the country's military and national defense will also undergo a major change, even if there is no money to purchase equipment, some of the top will inevitably be knocked down, countless interest exchanges, games and dumping, but they will be born. And some tosses.
What Li Hongzhang wants is a situation that can be fooled and dealt with all the time, "Haiyan River is clear, peaceful and prosperous", facing Cixi's 60th birthday, and he doesn't want to have any problems.
He said it lightly, but in his heart he was already vigilant, the Japanese have been planning for so many years, how can such a large layout be dug up by someone lightly? What kind of potential power does Yang Hao represent, we must figure it out, but don't be a group of rebels who are trying to make trouble!
Several people bowed their heads and said yes, but they all put Yang Hao seriously into their hearts.
Yang Hao's fire was boiling outside, but he returned to his private house and continued to concoct two spy prisoners.
Ishikawa Wuyi and his two have undergone rigorous training, and they have "gone to the mountains and the countryside", and they have been tossed and turned in the south and the north, and they think that they are indomitable and have been tested for a long time. As a result, I didn't expect to encounter a card that didn't follow the routine.
I didn't know how long I was stunned, and when I woke up, I found that my body couldn't move, my ears couldn't hear, my eyes couldn't see, my mouth was sealed, and it was difficult to even do a little activity. This strange state as if he had entered hell made him think that he had reached Kudanzaka for a while. But soon after, the whole body was itchy and swollen, and all the urine and urine were on the verge of outbreaking, and I knew that I was still alive.
But it's worse to live than to die! He struggled, he screamed, trying to make some movement, or attract someone, but there was no reaction at all.
A whole day and a night! When Yang Hao and the others opened the box and lifted the blindfolded cloth with masks, Ishikawa Wuyi was already in a semi-crazy state, and asked whatever he wanted, and all the hula lala like beans poured into the bamboo tube spit out.
Yang Hao said with a smile: "The power of the little black house is really extraordinary!" It's only been 24 hours and I can't stand it, it's really a bad seed. β
β¦β¦ He didn't want to think about it, people are generally small black houses, so they can stand, sit and lie down, change postures or something. This guy can't move at all, who can resist that kind of uncomfortable energy except for yoga masters and masters who have achieved cultivation!
The two captives were interrogated separately, and their confessions were repeatedly confirmed to be correct, and they were resealed, and when the people from Song Yunsheng's firm came to deliver the gold and silver in the evening, they carried the boxes to their carts together. Liu Dafu followed, threw it to the side of the road in the middle of the road, and it didn't take long for him to be discovered.
At this time, the sea fishing documents had been posted everywhere, and the two people were sent to the yamen not long after, and what was waiting for them was the severe punishment of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the end of being beheaded for public display.
At noon on the third day, martial law was lifted in the British Concession, and Yang Hao invited several leading figures, including Zhan Liuye, of the Cao Gang, to the Lishunde Hotel.
Today's Cao Gang is no longer the prosperous and powerful of the thousands of sails and flags floating in the river, and even the government is helpless, there are only six of the 128 gang leaders left, and the Tianjin Wei side has basically gone ashore, monopolizing the foot business from the coastal river to the mouth of Dagu, that is, loading and unloading and handling.
Now, only in the two British and French concessions, there are many foot lines such as Zizhulin, Renyi, Yishun Xin, Gongyishun, Yuansheng, Yinde and Pingli, etc., to share their benefits. Most of these foot-walking workers are landless peasants, who are actually engaged in a bitter business, and they have to pay their share of the money to the bosses on a regular basis.
And Zhan Liuye is the old man on the bank of the river in this section, so as soon as Yang Hao reported his number that night, the boatman didn't dare to reply at all.
If Yang Hao wants to seek the US concession and build a foundation here, he will inevitably not be able to bypass this group. It's like in the Shanghai Concession in the future, no one can hide from the Green Gang. And the Green Gang itself was transformed after the Cao Gang came ashore.
This has to be changed to an ordinary local businessman, Zhan Liuye and other head snakes will never give face lightly--- if Hu Xueyan wants to make a fortune back then, he also has to rely on the help of the Cao Gang. But Yang Hao is dressed in foreign skin, and he is befriended by a rich Jin merchant who is known as the world, and he is polite and thoughtful at the dock, and he has face inside, so he can't be lazy. Therefore, there is no one at this table who is not missing.
Yang Hao was able to hold the scene very much, and came up to apologize to Zhan Liuye first, he borrowed someone's name before he met, and it was always a bone when he uncovered it later. Now that it is clear and clear, it seems to be atmospheric.
Zhan Liuye doesn't rub sand in his eyes, but he knows how to watch the wind and sail the boat the most, and he will pass it with a haha, but he thinks that Yang Hao is a good thing to use him as a peng. In this way, everyone feels that Yang Hao is refreshing, there is a lot less estrangement between each other, and it is much more convenient and direct to speak.
Yang Hao invited them to come, and he also inquired with Song Yunsheng in advance, and there were no bastards who ate the east and sold the west, they were all righteous people and had prestige. Therefore, I don't beat around the bush and make my meaning clear first.
The ground of the American concession, he was to occupy, build a wharf, and set up a standardized foot line to be responsible for loading and unloading. The construction of the entire concession requires Liba craftsmen; The establishment of a newspaper office requires delivery from the north and south; The establishment of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, fire fighting patrol and fight more need a professional team; The construction of a series of factories such as spinning mills, weaving mills, flour mills, iron works, etc., requires the ...... of female workers.
All in all, I'm going to throw a lot of money here, and I need a lot of people to carry it. Everyone cooperated, and the newsboys, female workers, foot force, workers, barges, and security guards were able to include almost all of their brothers, and every family had money to take and eat!
It's pie in the sky! Which one doesn't do it, the brain is in water!
Don't look like Uncle Cao is so awesome, in fact, they are all poor eggs who huddle together to keep warm. Since the opening of the sea, their situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and even if they want to take off their heads, they don't have much money to take. Today, Yang Hao gave him a chance, even if he knew that people had their own rules, there was no one who didn't agree.
In fact, they all understand very well, anyway, they don't have to do the work themselves, and the people below abide by the rules to occupy the territory, work hard and pay money, and each has its own place.
The guests and hosts of this meal were happy, and Yang Hao also achieved his goal.
On the morning of the fourth day, when Yang Hao appeared in the messy American Concession, there was already a large number of people behind him. A professional martial artist headed by the Tongxing Gong Dart Bureau, a professional fighter with the Cao Gang thugs as the main force, a dozen foot leaders, and a big boss headed by him, it is the generation of Lost Boxing Grandmaster who will be famous all over the world in the future, Huo Yuanjia!
That's right! In the future, Huo Yuanjia, the Tianjin hero who moved to the beach, rivaled the Russian Hercules, created the Jingwumen, and boosted the morale of the people with martial arts, is now the more famous foot master of Tianjin Wei!
What unit is the foot walk? In professional terms, it is an "organization of bullies exploiting porters", and the big boss is the manager and backbone figure who is in charge of all the small bosses, gentlemen, and standing on the street, ready to lead people to fight with other foot walkers who come to grab the sale, and support the scene.
Of course, most of their stores entered as guest secretaries, rather than ordinary "always put" who could be sent to offend at will.
Yang Hao came to Tianjin, how could he not invite this hero to pretend to be a faΓ§ade? Since Nong Jinsun's medicinal herb dealer can invite him to work and carry the burden, he will pay a lot of money to invite him to be the head of the town, it is very reasonable and logical, right?
