Chapter 355: Eat Two Heads
The young man with a broken arm who came to find Zhang Xun was naturally Xia Han, he loyally carried out Zhang Tinglan's order, and opened a sky-high price of five million with one mouth, which scared Zhang Xun all of a sudden, this is not a small amount, in addition to the income from opium in Rehe Province, the annual tax can reach five million, which is already burning high incense, and now it costs five million to get four million bullets, this is simply blackmail!
"Boy, repeat, how much does it cost?"
"Lord Zhang, you are not old, I want five million, don't you understand?"
"The junior is ignorant, can't you be a three-year-old child when this king is a three-year-old child, four million rounds of ammunition, usually only 400,000 yuan, why have you increased more than ten times now? Tell me clearly, or the old man will shoot you! ”
"Don't worry!" Xia Han was not in a hurry, took out a pocket watch from his arms, looked at it, and then said: "Lord Wang, half an hour has passed since I set off, and it should be five million and a half million yuan!" ”
When Zhang Xun heard this, he almost went crazy, and a subordinate of Zhang Xun next to him couldn't look at it, so he grabbed Xia Han's shoulder and said to Zhang Xun: "Dashuai, this kid is full of nonsense, and he is so unreasonable, I'll shoot him right now!" ”
"Lord Wang, if you shoot me, it's like crushing a worm, but don't forget, Duan Qirui and Cao Kun's troops will be killed in the city within a day, and when the time comes, all you have in your hands are burning sticks, how can you resist the attack of Beiyang, and the dream of restoration will not be able to be done!"
Xia Han was pushed and embraced, and he was about to take it outside, at this time Zhang Xun waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring Xia Han back. In fact, in normal times, Zhang Xun wouldn't even look at Xia Han, but now. This commander is already like a drowning man, unwilling to let go of any life-saving straw.
"Junior, I'll ask you, do you have any weapons, and where are they placed?"
"Of course I have arms." Xia Han said confidently: "Don't do porcelain work without diamonds, since I dare to come, I am completely sure, as for where I can't tell you, we must pay the money first, and then receive the goods." Otherwise, we, the flat-headed people, will not be eaten alive by you! ”
"This king is not a man-eating Yama, since you have these weapons, this king really wants to buy them, but the reinforcement is too expensive. Can you lower the price and say a price that we can all accept! ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xia Han's mouth. Keep your chest high. said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you can buy it for 400,000 oceans in normal times, but now the situation is different, what I sell is not arms, but hope!" A hope that will revive the Qing Dynasty. This is priceless, and I would like to remind you that time waits for no one, and every half an hour it rises by half a thousand. I'll bid six million next time! ”
Zhang Xun was almost choked by Xia Han's words, but he couldn't refute it, it was true, if he couldn't get arms aid now, he really couldn't maintain it, and these restorations could only end in failure, Zhang Xun couldn't help but weigh it carefully.
"This king doesn't have so much money now, so I'll pay you a part first, and I'll pay you the rest after the revival of the Qing Dynasty!"
"That's not good, Lord Wang, to be honest, even if you get the arms, the possibility of success is not great, I don't need to take this risk, I am here to sell hope, sell possibility, not to invest, and I have no interest in funding your great cause, let's just mark the price clearly, take out 5.5 million yuan, and hand over the bullet to you now!"
Zhang Xun saw that Xia Han was soft and hard, and he didn't eat oil and salt, and he was also worried for a while, where did this kid come from, why is it so difficult to deal with!
Where to get 5.5 million, Zhang Xun was so anxious that he turned back and forth on the ground, sweating on his head, Xia Han looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I know you have no money, but there are rich people in this city, if you help their Eight Banners rejuvenate the country, shouldn't they take some money out?" These people have hundreds of years of accumulation, their families are full of gold and silver, and they have countless deposits in foreigners' banks, shouldn't they spend a little for their masters? ”
Xia Han woke up the dreamer with a word, yes! It is completely possible to ask the children of the Eight Banners for money, restore the imperial system, and it is these people who enjoy the most benefits, and they have suddenly regained their former power, is there a free lunch in this world, they should not contribute some money?
After thinking about this, Zhang Xun finally showed a relieved expression: "Boy, you wait here first, I'll ask for money immediately, but this price can't be increased!" ”
Zhang Xun slipped out of the temporary mansion and ran to the Taihe Palace, where there happened to be a lot of Eight Banners disciples, they were all frightened, one second they were still dreaming of regaining their power, and the next second the cannon roared, and the outside of the city was in a mess.
Can these people not be afraid, when they saw Zhang Xun rushing in viciously, they were all at a loss, Concubine Jin hugged the little emperor Puyi, trembling, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Zhang, our mother and son don't want to be rich and noble, just want to be able to survive and steal a living, so you can spare us!" ”
After Concubine Jin said this, her voice was miserable, tears rolled down her cheeks, and the other Eight Banners disciples also cried loudly, when the Empress Dowager Cixi died, she didn't cry so badly, and they were all sincere, and they were already terrified to the extreme.
Zhang Xun was also helpless, he didn't dare to be angry with the concubine and the emperor, but he didn't have any politeness to those Eight Banners disciples, and reprimanded him sharply: "You waste snacks, now that the thieves are attacking the city urgently, you should think about how to kill the enemy and serve the country, what's the use of howling here!" Get out of here, and think about it. ”
Tai Bao Shi continued to see Zhang Xun furious, and he also trembled and said: "Lord Zhang, if the big guy could cross the horse and slash the knife, he would have gone to the battlefield a long time ago, isn't there no way, I don't think you have to embarrass the big guy, what should I do, think of a charter, at least don't let the master be wronged!" ”
The meaning of the continuation is already very clear, the restoration can't be played, it's better to turn back and find a way to save the life of the little emperor, don't toss anymore. But Zhang Xun didn't think so, if he wanted not to let the emperor be wronged, he had to keep the emperor's position, and he had to keep his glory and wealth Zhang Xun.
Holding the sword in his hand, he stood in front of all the Eight Banner Kings Sun Guixuan, and said loudly: "You can have today, all thanks to the grace of the emperors of the past dynasties, I don't ask you to kill the enemy for the country, but you also have to donate all your family property as military expenses, as long as we win, the court will definitely return it ten times and a hundred times." ”
As soon as these people heard that Zhang Xun asked for money, these people secretly shook their heads again, they participated in the restoration because they wanted to restore their original power, but now that they have not got their power, they still have to take out their wives who have made a living, and they are immediately unwilling.
"Lord Zhang, we have all donated millions of taels, you haven't defeated the enemy army yet, how much does it cost, how can we afford it!"
"Hmph, don't cry poor with me, I know how much money you have, this time all the princes and ministers in Beijing City, Beizi Baylor, at least take out 10 million yuan, no one can run, you hurry up and take the lead in paying the money, otherwise you will be engaged in national law!"
While speaking, a lot of pigtailed soldiers rushed in, holding guns in their hands, aimed at these people, at this time Concubine Jin was already frightened, and quickly covered Pu Yi's eyes, not daring to let him see anything, Zhang Xun couldn't care about anything, and directly started blackmailing.
These Eight Banners nobles were also frightened, they could only take some from you and I would take some of them, and soon made up millions, Zhang Xun forced again, and took out a total of three million, and at this time, they searched the mansions of other Eight Banners disciples in the city, found millions, and finally scraped together enough money for Xia Han.
Xia Han was also very chic, and directly asked them to deposit the money into the account of Daosheng Bank, and then took them to a grain warehouse, removed the disguise outside, and it was neatly filled with boxes of bullets, although it cost a lot of money, but seeing these things, Zhang Xun finally had a little comfort in his heart.
"Boy, I don't care who you do for it, as long as there are still arms, you will definitely sell them to me, no matter what the price, I will give them out!"
Xia Han successfully blackmailed a sum, and the good news also reached Zhang Tinglan's ears, and he was suddenly overjoyed.
"Han Qing, Neighbor Ge, this Beijing city is worthy of the feet of the Son of Heaven, the land of the great state, just a little extortion, I got more than five million, I dare to say that this is just a drop in the bucket of those Eight Banners, two or three hundred years of accumulation, although some families have fallen, but these wealth has not disappeared, mainly in the circle of the Eight Banners nobles, I estimate that the cash deposits they control are at least more than 150 million, if you add houses and fields, this value is incalculable!"
"That's right, we have searched the children of the Eight Banners in the three eastern provinces, and the land they got is more than tens of millions of yuan, and when they arrive in Beijing, their wealth must be even more amazing."
Zhang Tinglan nodded slightly: "I set a standard for our operation, at least 60 million in wealth, which is equivalent to two years of taxes in Fengtian, everyone has to work together!" ”
Yang Yuting and Zhang Xueliang were both stupid by this huge indicator, if they wanted to get this money, they would definitely have to kill and blackmail those Eight Banner disciples like crazy, otherwise they wouldn't be able to make it up at all. However, they don't have any sympathy for the children of the Eight Banners, so they just see how things develop.
While they were discussing, Duan Qirui's rebel army finally came over, and Chen Guangyuan, who was originally stationed in Beijing, also led his subordinates and Duan Qirui to join forces and jointly launched an attack on Beijing.
For a while, the artillery fire shook the sky, obviously Duan Qirui also showed the ability to take care of the house, desperately attacked the pigtail army, the battle was very fierce, at this time a scout reported to Zhang Tinglan: "Commander-in-chief, Duan Qirui's rebel army was defeated, I heard that it was because the pigtail army used a large number of grenades, and the rebel army was not prepared, so it was taken by surprise." ”
Zhang Tinglan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "The opportunity is here again, let's eat two heads together this time!" (To be continued......)
