"Hey, Brother Xian, this is yours, why are you and Adjutant Guan's vision so high." Zhang Zhengze pointed out, "You see, the six provinces of Linjiang have been marked red, and Mr. Thomson is willing to support us to stand on our own." ”

"I heard that you two are old friends, so I guess you'd like to work together." Thomson was very confident, he didn't believe that these two people were not moved, the six provinces of Linjiang were extremely rich, and they occupied many prosperous ports, and there were frequent economic and trade exchanges, if they occupied these six provinces, they would occupy the gold and silver treasury. In addition, if the United States supports this matter, the governments on both sides will be helpless against them, and they are not better than being generals?

"Brother Zhengze is not wrong, my vision is indeed high, and I can't look down on the six provinces of Linjiang." Fu Xianzhi sneered.

Thomson nodded to the other surrounding provinces, "As long as Fu Dujun is willing, we can support you to continue to expand, whether it is money or guns, as long as we have it in the United States, we will definitely support Fu Dujun and Commander Zhang, the six provinces of Linjiang are just the beginning." ”

"It sounds like a tempting condition, I'm interested, Brother Xian, what do you think?" Zhang Zhengze lazily asked Fu Xianzhi what he said was "tempting" and "interested", but in fact his attitude was no different from Fu Xianzhi.

"Inspector Fu, Commander Zhang, you should think about it. As far as I know, the northern government doesn't trust Fu Dujun very much, and several telegrams a day are urging you, and you have to send people to spy on you. And the southern government is not so satisfied with Commander Zhang, this time it is almost about to dismiss Commander Zhang, and Commander Zhang's party is not very good in the coalition government. You are both heroes and heroes, and you shouldn't be subservient all the time. Thomson had a confident smile on his face.

Zhang Zhengze turned the wrench on his thumb and said, "Mr. Thomson, what you said is right, but ah, we are now self-reliant, which is equivalent to rebellion. Although I don't have much pursuit, even if I like to be promoted and make a fortune, I don't like to be scolded by others. ”

"Commander Zhang, your idea is wrong. You should think of it this way, because neither government is in line with your vision for the future of the country, and if you have different political views, you should rethink your way out. There is no such thing as a mutiny, you have sold enough for the southern government, you have been injured many times, and your life is hanging by a thread, even if the government has any kindness to you, you can be regarded as repaying it. Isn't there something the whole country advocating to actively save the country, and you can be regarded as saving the country on a curve. Thomson came up with a killer idea, "Besides, I promise you two that I will get the Southern government to issue a document to support your two self-reliance, saying that this is a national salvation move under the new idea." ”

This made Lin Wei scratch his head, the southern government was right to support Fu Xianzhi's self-reliance, why would it support Zhang Zhengze? Zhang Zhengze wants to stand on his own, but it is their southern government that will be lost. Haven't Americans always supported the government of the South?

"This new idea is really new and interesting." Zhang Zhengze was noncommittal and continued to turn his fingers.

The smile on the corner of Fu Xianzhi's mouth deepened, "Mr. Thomson, I often tell others that I am an old-fashioned person. I don't like to drink any English black tea, I love to drink our own big red robe; I can't get used to any milk and bread for breakfast, so I like to eat some steamed rice porridge; I don't like to dance any ballroom dances, and my favorite is listening to Peking Opera. I don't understand, and I don't want to understand, these new ideas you said. All I know is that I played elementary school with a 'gold knife and white jade outfit, and the light shines through the window at night.' The husband has not made fifty achievements, and he is independent of the eight wildernesses. Jinghua made friends with all the strange people, and lived and died together in the same period. The thousand-year-old annals are nameless, and a piece of Dan is repaying the Son of Heaven. Erlai came to the army in Hanbin, and the Nanshan Xiaoxue jade is rugged. Alack! Although the three households of Chu can die in Qin, how can there be no one in China! ’”

This is Lu You's "Golden Wrong Knife Xing", Fu Xianzhi memorized a poem with a subdued tone and frustration, sonorous and powerful, especially the last sentence "Although Chu can kill Qin, how can there be no one in China!" Fu Xianzhi's voice was aggravated, loud and loud, and it made people's hearts surging when they heard it.

Lin Du understood that Lu You's first word was about resisting foreign captives, and the last sentence meant that although the Chu State was encroached upon by the Qin State, even if there were a few families left, it would definitely be able to destroy the Qin State.

In the past and today, Fu Xianzhi said that he would never cooperate with the Americans, and his ambition was to drive foreigners out of his homeland.

Thomson has been in this land for more than twenty years, speaks Chinese fluently, and knows the culture here, how could he not know the meaning of this song.

"Brother Xian, what are you talking about? I know that I'm a rough man, why are you still dragging these words? You just say that you are an old-fashioned person, and you can't get it if you don't change your temperament. I thought that Mr. Thomson was a foreigner, and he couldn't understand what you said, so I, the translator, translated correctly, right? Zhang Zhengze smiled heartily, regardless of whether Thomson's face was ugly or not.

Thomson was well recuperated, seemingly just exchanging his views with his friends: "I don't think it's an apostasy. Foolish loyalty is not a good choice, are you two willing to sink with the broken ship of your government? Fu Dujun claims to be old-fashioned, then I still remember that there is an old saying in your country, those who know the times are handsome. Doesn't Fu Inspector know? ”

"The one who knows the times is Junjie?" Fu Xianzhi playfully repeated this sentence, and then asked Lin Dui: "Qiu Hong, although Mr. Thomson has been in our country for more than 20 years, it seems that he still does not know much about our culture, can you explain this sentence for Mr. Thomson." ”

Lin Du nodded, "Yes, Overseer." ”

She looked at Thomson and bowed her head slightly to show respect, "Mr. Thomson, 'Knowing the current affairs is a handsome master' uttered the "Three Kingdoms, Shu Zhi, Zhuge Liang Biography": 'Confucian and layman, how can you know current affairs? Those who know the times care about Junjie'. The original meaning of this sentence refers more to identifying the situation and choosing to do what conforms to the law and should be done, rather than being forced by the situation to follow the trend. Current affairs are not the current situation, current affairs are the tasks of the times. In the hearts of the Overseers, the task of this era is, 'Why don't men take Wu Hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan'. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Zhengze praised again and again: "It is worthy of being the adjutant of Brother Xian, he is really as knowledgeable as Brother Xian, and he speaks some words that I don't understand." I just heard Mr. Thomson say that 'those who know the times are heroes', isn't this hero a hero? Brother Xian, don't make those twists and turns, just tell your brother, what is the hero in your heart? ”
