Chapter 170: Territorial Wedding, Three Birds with One Stone
Huang Weizhong nodded and said: "No problem, there are Chinese workers in my plantation, we just need to connect more and start secret training now, I believe we can have enough personnel in a few months." ”
Huang Weihua worried: "They are all unreliable, and it is not easy to leak the young master's affairs." If we let the Bostonians get the news and start it early, our plan may be in vain. ”
Huang Weizhong said confidently: "You don't know the status of Young Master Lu Dao in the hearts of overseas Chinese, it is unlikely that they will betray Young Master." Besides, if we don't disclose the information yet, we can train them under the pretext of strengthening the defense of the plantations, and then issue them weapons when we do it. ”
Huang Weihua nodded and said: "This method is feasible, let's just do it, I'll find a few colleagues to come over and help you do it." Huang Weizhong looked at the new rifle in his hand and echoed: "That's right, find a few more people, it's best to find a few instructors to train those Chinese workers well, so as not to drag us back when we get the real fight." ”
"Edward, how are our people ready?" A bearded Bostonian sat in a chair, smoking a cigarette and asked eagerly, as if his eyebrows were on fire.
The man called Edward, a blonde and blue-eyed young man, of typical Bostonian descent, saw him put the wine in his hand to his lips, took a sip before replying: "Lawrence, you don't have to worry, we have enough men now, and we will be ready to move when the muskets arrive in two months." ”
Lawrence said with some concern, "How did you get those guns in?" At present, the inspection of firearms here is very strict, and non-government personnel are not allowed to possess firearms. ”
Edward drank the wine in his hand, raised his glass to Lawrence, and said, "Don't worry so much, I've already thought about this." What does it matter if the inspection is strict, I dismantled the guns into parts and packed them together with the sugar machine, those Vahu people are as stupid as pigs, they are all parts, they can't tell which one is the sugar press machine and which one is the weapon, so it won't be shipped. ”
Lawrence waved the pipe in his hand and smiled: "You still have a way, so that you can avoid their interrogation, but can't you get a batch of rear-loading guns?" With a musket, I always feel like I don't have a bottom. ”
Edward poured himself another glass of wine, pursed his lips and said: "You can be content, the country is afraid that our actions will touch the Chinese collar and will not support us, so we can only buy retired front-loading muskets, which I can only buy with great difficulty thanks to my previous relationship in the army." However, the soldiers of the Ohu Kingdom are still using bows and spears, and there are not many muskets, so our weapons should be enough. ”
Lawrence knocked his pipe on the corner of the stone table, put on the cigarette and lit the fire, took a deep breath before saying slowly: "I'm not worried about the army of the Ohu Kingdom, but about our neighbors, those mysterious Chinese people. Edward scoffed at Lawrence's fears, believing that it was impossible for honest Chinese people to do anything, but later events confirmed Lawrence's fears.
The Boston people and the Huang brothers are secretly preparing their own armed forces, and the air in the Oahu Kingdom is invisibly tense, and the first collision between the Boston Empire and the Chinese Territory is about to be staged, and at this time, the Chinese Territory is already full of joy.
"Young master, are we going to hold a three-day flowing water banquet on the streets of Tongjiang City, so that everyone in the city can come and celebrate for you." A housekeeper in charge of the banquet excitedly asked Fang Xiaoyu for instructions.
"Young master, are we using red silk to decorate the walls of the entire Tongjiang Mansion City?" The housekeeper who was responsible for decorating the new home also came to Fang Xiaoyu.
"Young master, the gift from Lord Wang, the lord of Tubo County, has been delivered." All kinds of marriage things came to Fang Xiaoyu to decide, which made him tired of it, and finally Xiao Yunting took the matter over and organized the wedding for her son, which made Fang Xiaoyu's ears a little clearer.
The wedding day is approaching day by day, and the characters from all parties participating in the wedding have also arrived in Tongjiang Mansion City one after another. The relatives were naturally the first to arrive, Marshal Xia Jun, Marshal Fang Rui, Lord Xia Yuyan, Shangshu Fang Qiong of the Ministry of Industry, Fang Wei, the commander of the southern city of the capital, and all the heavyweight relatives were all present, and even the elven clan was a group of relatives and friends personally led by Elena's mother, the Great Elder Kalia.
Before the wedding, Fang Xiaoyu repeatedly ordered that all officials and soldiers in the territory were not allowed to give gifts, since there was such a ban, Fang Xiaoyu's subordinates naturally did not dare to give gifts, but the fact that his subordinates did not give gifts did not mean that they received fewer gifts.
There were so many relatives and friends and a large number of high-ranking officials within the empire to congratulate them, so naturally there were a lot of gifts, even the officials who did not come also sent people to bring gifts, and even Emperor Xiahou Ying appointed a eunuch to send it reasonable. There are so many people who are not inferior to the Chinese collar system to give gifts, especially those heavyweights who are important in the Lanfang Empire, the gifts are naturally worth a lot, and the quality and quantity of the gifts received this time can be imagined.
With Fang Xiaoyu's current status, even if it was a member of all the big names within the Lanfang Empire, who didn't look at it to curry favor with this powerful upstart, the gifts sent by these people quickly filled a big house. Looking at the room of gifts, Fang Xiaoyu secretly regretted it, knowing that he could receive so many gifts when he got married, he would get married three times, so that he could make more money, and he still regretted receiving so many gifts, which shows that people are not content.
No matter how many gifts there are, Fang Xiaoyu did not hesitate to work for this wedding, he asked people to set up a flowing water banquet in Tongjiang City, and the people who came to Tongjiang City, whether they were merchants or peddlers, were all among Fang Xiaoyu's banquets.
For this unprecedentedly large scale of flowing water banquet, Boss Qian attaches great importance to it, he has selected the top chefs in Yixian Lou and McDonald's branches all over the country, and all of them are concentrated in Tongjiang City, and even he himself personally commanded this wedding banquet.
For this boss, who is kind to his subordinates and loved by everyone, the chefs did their best to make an unprecedented Chinese full banquet, and they showed their own good dishes, and made all the recipes given to them by Fang Xiaoyu, and the dishes of meat and vegetables reached more than 1,000.
This varied Chinese banquet includes almost all the ingredients that can be found in the Eastern Continent, and after more than a dozen cooking methods such as frying, frying, and frying, with the cooperation of more than 50 kinds of seasonings, such an unprecedented more than 1,000 dishes have been made.
