Chapter 59: The Assassin
"What? Governor Xu is going to be transferred? When Qin Yu heard the news, he was taken aback.
"It's not to be transferred, according to the news from the Fengtian Provincial City, by the time we receive the news, we should have already been on the road." Tian Helin roasted the carbon fire in the basin.
"It's really an iron-clad battalion of soldiers, I wonder if the new governor will come to the new governor to take office with three fires, what is the news of the governor of Xiliang, have you heard about it?" Qin Yu asked with a stick as he plucked the sticky bean bun that exuded the aroma from the carbon fire.
"I've inquired, this tin governor is also a great figure, he has been the governor of Henan, the governor of Rehe, the governor of Sichuan, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. In each term, there was a deed, when Henan was transferred to Rehe, the foreign bishop of Henan at that time also pleaded with the imperial court and wanted to keep Xiliang in Henan. In Rehe, he began to build education, reorganize the army, and set up mining, but unfortunately he only stayed in Rehe for half a year, and then he was transferred to Sichuan, where the Sichuan powers wanted to build the railway, or the governor of Xiliang advocated building the railway himself, to avoid the spillover of sovereignty, and raised millions of funds for the construction of the railway in a few years. In Yungui, a lot of practical things have been done in establishing schools, rectifying the army, banning opium, and rectifying the rule of officials. Zhang Shun replied, now that he has been promoted from an ordinary soldier to the intelligence leader around Qin Yu, he naturally has to inquire more clearly about the governors of the three eastern provinces.
"So this Governor of Xiliang is really a capable minister." Qin Yu touched his chin and said, in fact, the late Qing Dynasty invaded China, and although the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, it did do some practical things. During the Qing government, it was able to build 10,000-ton ships, build railways on its own, and built the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant and the Hanyang Arsenal. It is true that no small achievements have been made in heavy industry. The establishment of the Beiyang government inherited these valuable legacies, and in the later golden decade of the Republic of China, heavy industry regressed in the chaotic warlord melee, and the arms relied heavily on foreign purchases.
Xiliang is a capable minister, but now that the Qing government is dying, it is no longer something that one or two people can save.
"The ironworks have just been built, and it will be put into operation in two months, Wang Huaiqing is leaving, I don't even have a person who can speak in Fengtian, and I don't know the temperament of this Xiliang, I won't let me waste a lot of money." Qin Yu picked out the sticky bean bun that had been cooked and blew it, and after it was not so hot, he took a small bite, quite helpless.
"My lord, the business of more than 600,000 taels of silver, people die for money, birds die for food, if your Excellency dares to do this, find one or two people to go to the provincial capital of Fengtian and fight the black gun of the governor." Zhang Shun's face was a little ruthless, there was a team of hunters in Qin Yu's army, and there were five or six people with accurate marksmanship, and he had followed Qin Yu for several years, and he was absolutely loyal to Qin Yu, and it was not difficult to fight Xiliang's black gun.
"You are a lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, don't say this kind of thing in the future, wait and see, since Xiliang is a capable minister, it shouldn't be too difficult for me." Qin Yu scolded Zhang Shun, but Xi Liang really wanted to do something, Qin Yu really dared to find a gunman to kill Xi Liang directly.
"Last year, Jiangsu, Anhui suffered floods, the embankments along the Yangtze River fell into disrepair, if it rains heavily this year, it is estimated that the hungry people do not know how many roads, Shandong, Henan is not optimistic, I think there will be more refugees in Kanto this year than last year, Brother Xuguang, you have to prepare as soon as possible." Qin Yu said.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, most of the grain in the fields that were cleared last year has been stockpiled. In addition, the people of Taonan had a large amount of grain last winter, and they will have to pay back part of it this year, and another part after the autumn harvest. The food reserves are sufficient to meet the needs of about 25,000 new immigrants this year. Tian Helin said, "There is also good news, when Taonan Dongjia was digging to make bricks, coal was dug out. ”
The expansion of woolen mills, shoe factories, distilleries, ash factories, and brick factories will absorb thousands, or even tens of thousands, and the newly cultivated farmland will also need a large number of laborers.
"Really? This can also dig out coal, it seems that my luck is not generally good, that's okay, since you found it, the matter of the coal mine will be handed over to you, by the way, hang it in my name, don't go to the treasury, lest the above think that Taonan is very generous, and find a way to collect my taxes. "Qin Yu is in a good mood, this is almost an open-pit coal mine, solving the gap in the coal, this is really excellent, as long as the industry of Taonan develops, a small coal mine of fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver is commonplace, and the shallow coal mine is relatively easy to mine, suitable for Taonan, who has no mining skills.
Had a meal with Tian Helin, Zhang Shun and others, due to the cold weather, and drank some wine, although there is the uncertain factor of Xiliang, but the development momentum of Taonan at this time is still very good, with such thoughts, Qin Yu rode a horse with Ding Cheng and other guards to see the newly discovered coal mine, just went out and walked not far, in the crowd of people coming and going, several strong and healthy men looked a little flickering, took out a rifle from the carriage with a pile of goods on the side of the road, and pointed directly at Qin Yu without aiming. Seeing the two men in front of him holding guns, Qin Yu's heart tightened.
"Protect your lordship, there are assassins!" Ding Cheng shouted, and Wang Yuhai and the others also reacted, but after all, it was a beat slower than the assassin's movements.
Qin Yu naturally couldn't wait for death, the whole person lay on the horse's back, and his legs clamped the horse's belly, "Drive!" ”
The horse, which had been riding for two years, was very familiar with Qin Yu's orders, and rushed out like an arrow with his hooves.
"Bah, bah!" The piercing gunfire rang out in the streets, causing panic among the pedestrians on the streets. Qin Yu's galloping horse made the streets turn on their backs.
"Herod...."The unfortunate thing is that a person who picks lard on the street has fallen to the ground, and the result of the horse's hooves stepping on it is needless to say, the horse slipped and fell to the ground, and fell down, because he ran too fast beforehand, Qin Yu's whole person fell forward and flew out, and hit the window of a adobe house on the side of the street, fortunately it was not the kind of window with glass.
drank a lot of wine, although his head was not slow to react, but his hands and feet were inevitably a little sluggish, Qin Yu smashed through the window, fell directly into the house, and smashed over a bath barrel. It's got wet up and down.
"Ahh A woman's exclamation came from the room, Qin Yu endured the pain on his head, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Chen Xinyi, at this time, the other party was wearing obscene pants, and the red belly pocket was not fastened, revealing a piece of snow-white skin and a white and tender half of a round ball.
A few words of Mongolian language came, Qin Yu couldn't understand it, but his complexion changed greatly, and his left arm was dislocated and temporarily unable to exert his strength, Qin Yu picked up the quilt on the pit with his right hand and covered it on Chen Xinyi, "Hide it yourself!"
Qin Yu picked up a wooden stick and stood directly behind the broken window, Chen Xinyi's room was very small, the window and the door were just a small corner, standing in the corner, whether the bandits opened the door or came in through the window, Qin Yu had a certain advantage, and now his left arm was dislocated, and he couldn't count on it for the time being.
"Protect your lordship!" A group of officers and soldiers approached frantically in this direction.
A string of Mongolian words sounded outside the door, followed by the sound of kicking the door, the door was kicked open, a Mongolian man came in, and Qin Yu slammed down his head. When the man on that side saw Qin Yu, he hurriedly pointed his gun at Qin Yu, Qin Yu threw a stick at the head of the Mongol, taking advantage of the Mongols' dodging skills, Qin Yu pounced and scuffled with the Mongols, not giving the Mongols a chance to shoot. In addition to a sleeping room, Chen Xinyi's residence also has another hall, and the things in the room were damaged by the scuffle between the two.
Qin Yu's body is not low, after a few years in the army, he is unusually strong and powerful, and he has learned a few rough kung fu, even if his left arm can't be used for a while, and the scuffle with the Mongols has not fallen behind for the time being, but the Mongols are also very clever, after being pinched by Qin Yu's neck and pressed under him, he punched Qin Yu's injured arm.
Qin Yu screamed in pain, and was pressed to the ground by the Mongols, and his neck was choked by the other party.
Fuck, it's a bad year, and it's getting a little hard to breathe. However, although Qin Yu heard a whirring sound, the hands on his neck suddenly loosened, but Chen Xinyi didn't know when Lu Dao arrived at the side, and moved a clay pot and smashed it on the Mongolian body. Watching the blood stains on the head of the Mongols burst, Chen Xinyi, who had never seen bloodstains, had weak legs and sat on the ground, and her hands were cut by the fragments of the clay pot and she didn't know it.
"Your Excellency!" Outside the house, there were voices of Ding Cheng and others who were in a hurry to lose their popularity, as well as the footsteps of the officers and soldiers of the brigade.
"Stop! Lao Tzu is not dead. Qin Yu shouted, "I'm waiting for me outside, I'm not allowed to come in, and I'll call a carriage to come over, and there's a doctor!" ”
Qin Yu sat up from the ground holding his injured arm, looked at Chen Xinyi's somewhat pale face, and knew that she thought she had killed someone, and for a while she was a little out of shape, and said softly, "He didn't die, he was just knocked unconscious, you were injured, stay and follow me." ”
Regardless of Ding Cheng and the others' anxiety for a long time, Qin Yu walked into the room again and took the quilt to cover Chen Xinyi, Chen Xinyi realized that she was wearing thin clothes, and she was almost looked at by Qin Yu, her face was red like blood, and she hurriedly returned to the room to get dressed.
