Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Call for Help from Far Away
"This Taiwan matter has finally come to an end." Looking at the Zhiyuan ship in front of him, Zhang Peilun was full of emotion.
"These two Guang adults should be better along than Lord Liu, right?" Xu Jie said rather depressedly.
"Brother Ji Shi is worried about money, right?" Deng Shichang said jokingly.
"I said I don't feel sorry for you, do you believe it? I've been in Taiwan for less than a week, and I've already spent £3,300, and I paid for all those weapons!! Xu Jie pretended to be heartbroken.
"Boss, someone is looking for you." Just when Xu Jie and the others were chatting at the port, Yan Boxun, who Xu Jie had just recruited, ran over sweating profusely.
"What's the hurry. Usually see that you are not in a hurry to do things. Xu Jie rolled his eyes and said.
"Usually you don't pay overtime." Yan Boxun muttered quietly.
"Two Nanyang Chinese, who are said to be businessmen, came to the boss. One of them said it was surnamed Peng. Yan Boxun said.
"What is he doing here?" Xu Jie said in his heart.
"Jishi, what is this Mr. Peng doing?" Zhang Peilun looked at the silent Xu Jie and said.
"Our benefactor. Brother Youqiao, come with me to meet you. After Xu Jie finished speaking, he turned his head and left.
In the hall of the post house, Xu Jie, Zhang Peilun, Peng Haifeng and a young man they didn't know sat down.
"This is Mr. Lee. Nanyang Chinese businessmen. Peng Haifeng said with a little embarrassment.
"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Peng always looking for Xu?" Xu Jie frowned slightly and said. When he entered the door, he saw the rather unnatural expressions of Peng Haifeng and the man surnamed Li, Xu Jie felt a little uneasy, in the past interactions, Peng Haifeng acted decisively and spoke directly and never dragged his feet, but today, looking at his appearance, I am afraid that something big will happen.
"I wonder what happened to Mr. Peng when he came to help the world? If it is inconvenient, Zhang Youqiao will retire first. Zhang Peilun thought that because of himself, Peng Haifeng was not good at talking, so he decided to avoid it first.
"No need, Mr. Peng, you can tell me, this is Mr. Zhang, who is half of Master Li's son. There is nothing to shy away from. Xu Jie said.
"I wonder if Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhang know anything about what happened in Nanyang recently?" Peng Haifeng whispered, fine beads of sweat seeping out of his head.
"Xu has been busy with official business recently, and I really don't know very well." Xu Jie said.
"This Batavia is not very peaceful. The local aborigines quarreled with the Chinese gangs, and the Dutch authorities were biased in favour of the natives. In just a few dozen words, Peng Haifeng actually said for 3 minutes!!
"Yes, the Chinese exclusion incident." Xu Jie said rather depressedly. But in the memory of Xu Jie's previous life, nothing major happened in Indonesian society in this era, seeing that people like Peng Haifeng are in a hurry like this, what's going on on to the ground.
"And now, it is said that the Dutch authorities will be unfavorable to us Chinese. Reading in the same text and the same species, it is all for the sake of my descendants of Yan and Huang. Mr. Xu, you have an idea. Peng Haifeng saw that Xu Jie didn't speak, and hurriedly said a few words.
"I'm afraid that Boss Peng did something, right?" Xu Jie said in a deep voice. Since there is no such thing in the history of that level, and Peng Haifeng is the person who has been most affected after crossing over, then the expansion of this matter is probably inseparable from Peng Haifeng, right?"
"Well, Mr. Xu, something happened. But I, the Nanyang Chinese, are all self-defense. "What else can Peng Haifeng say, he can't say that his subordinates lead people to fight, and then play big, right? But it's not just him. The major gangs and big businessmen in Nanyang were involved in this matter. I thought that the weapons that Tong Guò bought could suppress the local natives, but who knew that the Dutch suddenly openly favored the local natives, and according to insider intelligence, the Dutch would soon have a big operation. Now, the desperate Chinese bigwigs really have no choice, and even Xu Jie, a person who can't beat the eight poles, has found it.
"What is Mr. Peng going to do? Buying arms on credit? How much? Is £40,000 enough? Xu Jie asked with a calm face.
"So far, there is only one fight. Although everyone was a little strapped in the previous paragraph because of some things in their hands, if I Peng could survive this catastrophe. This money must be doubled. "Now that the other party has already talked about this, Peng Haifeng doesn't plan to ask for this old face.
"Even if you are given 100,000 pounds of arms for nothing, will the Nanyang Chinese be able to resist the joint strangulation of the Dutch authorities and the natives?" Xu Jie asked rhetorically.
"This, even if it doesn't work, can't make those villains feel good." Peng Haifeng's face turned pale at first, and then revealed a trace of hideousness!! …,
"There are several times more natives in Nanyang than Chinese? I'm afraid that with the help of the Dutch, after this catastrophe, the Chinese will not be able to rise much, right? Xu Jie said disappreciatively.
"Which Mr. Xu has a way?" Peng Haifeng asked.
"What can I do?" Xu Jie thought rather depressedly, although he could think like this, but he couldn't say that. "Let Xu think about it first, okay?" Xu Jie was also a little out of proportion, this matter was too big, and it was beyond Xu Jie's control.
"Then Peng thanked Mr. Xu on behalf of the Chinese in Nanyang." Peng Haifeng didn't say a word, bowed and saluted.
"Ugh. All right. Xu Jie said depressedly.
After dinner, Xu Jie sat alone at the table rubbing his head, while Zhang Peilun paced back and forth depressedly.
"Jishi, you agreed to this matter too hastily, not to mention whether the bigwigs in the imperial court will care about the life and death of the Nanyang Chinese, even if the center agrees to help, this is thousands of miles away, how do you let the imperial court help?" Zhang Peilun finally couldn't help it, pointed at Xu Jie and said loudly.
"So you mean it doesn't matter?" Xu Jie raised his head and glanced at Zhang Peilun and said.
"I can't manage it, how do you manage it?" Zhang Peilun was heartbroken.
"It's man-made." Xu Jie was speechless, so he had to say a word.
"Brother Jishi, haven't you rested yet?" Outside the door, Deng Shichang's voice came.
"Is there something wrong with Lord Deng?" Xu Jie asked.
"My Zhiyuan ship will return tomorrow, so let's rest quickly." Deng Shichang said.
"Holy! No, the house leak happened to rain overnight!! Xu Jie really couldn't help it, he couldn't handle the affairs of Nanyang, so he left, if he couldn't do what Peng Haifeng entrusted him this time, then the Nanyang line would be in danger of being broken!!
"Can you grace a few days? Or Zhiyuan will go first, and Xu will arrive later," Xu Jie asked.
"Uh, forgive Deng for not being accommodating, Deng has a military order, cruising outside, you must act according to the time, this next stop is Guangzhou, since Brother Xu is also from my Beiyang, I'm afraid that this military regulation is also applicable to Brother Xu, right?" Deng Shichang, who was outside the door, said with some displeasure.
"You're ruthless. I just agreed to give you a change of gun a few days ago. Xu Jie suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and he was quite depressed in his heart.
"Brother Xu, take care of it, my Zhiyuan ship will cruise this time, and after arriving in Guangzhou, I will transfer to Hong Kong again to prepare for my Beiyang Navy Division to go to Hong Kong to avoid freezing." Deng Shichang was also a little embarrassed, but his position was still quite firm!!
"Beiyang went to Hong Kong to avoid the freezing?" Xu Jie said to himself that when it comes to Hong Kong, the first thing is the flag removal incident. But that's next year. "In other words, the main fleet of the Beiyang will go to Hong Kong?" Although he knew that there was such a thing, Xu Jie was not sure whether all of them would come to Hong Kong.
"That's how it should be." Deng Shichang said.
"The main force of the Beiyang Naval Division has moved south?" After being stunned for a while, Xu Jie's eyes lit up. Said: "I'm so talented!! ”
