Dozens of miles away from Jinmen, Lei Hu happened to meet the historical celebrity Tan Si.

Tan Sitong was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to make friends, and soon the two chatted together, and slowly talked about the current situation, Tan Sitong couldn't help but expose his true purpose and thoughts.

As a result, he was dumbfounded and overwhelmed by Lei Hu's words, and to put it in a more modern and fashionable way, he is now a little skeptical about life.

Lei Hu's meaning is very clear, their group of scholars with enthusiasm, almost no real power in hand, just thinking of greed for merit, to take power in power, it is simply seeking death.

If it weren't for the fact that the two had met for the first time, Tan Sitong was worried that Lei Hu would point to his nose and scold: "The brain is hot!

"Brother Lei, you seem to be very familiar with Europa?"

In order to avoid embarrassment, Tan Sitong decisively changed the topic and asked curiously: "I wonder if you can tell me the details of Europa?" ”

"I'm from Zen City, there are a lot of foreigners there, and there are enough interpreters, so it's quite easy to get the general situation on the Europa side!"

Lei Hu replied with a smile: "Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Austria and Hungary will not talk about it as a great power, let's talk about other small European countries, which is more meaningful for the current Brother Tan!" ”

"No, it looks like there's an Italy among the great powers, right?"

Tan Sitong opened his mouth and asked, "Could it be that Brother Lei forgot?" ”

"What forgot, I didn't put Italy among the great powers at all!"

Lei Hu sneered and said disdainfully: "Brother Tan may not know, just the past two years Italy invaded the African country of Ethiopia, and guess what?" ”

"What's wrong?"

Tan Sitong really didn't know, although he was born in a wealthy family, if he didn't deliberately collect such information, it would be difficult to know it at the first time.

"Italy was defeated, 17,000 men and horses were marched, and in the case of absolute superiority in firepower, 10,000 were killed in battle, and 4,000 were captured, which is almost the total annihilation!"

Lei Hu sneered again and again, and said disdainfully: "With such combat effectiveness, you still want to enter the ranks of the great powers, isn't it to blacken the faces of the great powers?" ”

Tan Sitong's face was sluggish, and there was such a thing happening?

"Brother Lei, what kind of country is Ethiopia, what is the situation?"

What he was even more curious about was that it was certainly not easy for this country that he had never heard of to be able to beat a great power like Italy so badly.

Unexpectedly, Lei Hu's answer made him stunned again, and he couldn't help but have a little more disdain for Italy.

"Hehe, that Ethiopia is far inferior to my Qing Dynasty, whether it is the army or the population, their army is also still using broadswords, spears and muskets of the backward era!"

Lei Hu said with a smile: "In this way, they can still ride camels and beat the Italian invading army, tsk, why do you say Italy is called a great power?" ”

Tan Sitong was surprised, but also inevitably a little angry.

The combat effectiveness of the Italian Army is so low, but in my Qing Dynasty, it is still showing off its might, and the court still doesn't dare to do anything to them, thinking about it, I really feel very aggrieved.

"Since the combat strength of the Italian army is so unbearable, when I arrive in Beijing, I must report to the emperor and let the court target it specially!"

He doesn't have a good impression of foreigners, and if he can cut the face of foreigners, he is very happy.

Lei Hu smiled lightly, if the imperial court had such a vision, it would have divided and ruled the foreigners a long time ago, how could there be the current bad situation?

It is true that Tan Sitong was born in a wealthy family, but he participated in the reform and reform of the law, so he naturally had contradictions with the Hou Party, and what he said would not work.

Unless in the province where Lao Tzu is in power, his words have weight.

Next, he introduced the situation of small European countries, such as the Netherlands, Portugal and Belgium, and finally sighed: "These small countries are only the land of my province of Daqing, and the small ones are even only one place, but their own strength should not be underestimated!" ”

Speaking of this, seeing Tan Sitong's contemplative face, he said directly; "At present, the situation in the Qing Dynasty is complicated, and I don't know how much energy it will take to straighten out local relations, so it is better to learn from these small European countries, develop one or two provinces, and have a basic military industrial system and industrial system, and then fight with foreigners will have much confidence!"

"But wouldn't it be better for the whole country to mobilize together?"

Tan Sitong nodded, but in a blink of an eye, he changed his words again, and said arrogantly: "Let's compare with the European powers, not just a small European country!" ”

Lei Hu was speechless for a moment, he spent so much saliva together, and in the end this is the result?

Forget it, he was angry for a while, and said too many things that shouldn't be said, since Tan Sitong couldn't listen to it, then forget it, in the future, the road will go to one side, basically there will be no intersection, why bother about it?

Seeing that Lei Hu didn't speak, Tan Sitong was not angry, but excited; "Brother Lei has such insight, why don't you join me to participate in the reform and reform, I think I will definitely make a great difference!"

"Don't don't, I'm just reckless, I don't want to participate in the major events of the court!"

Lei Hu hurriedly waved his hand and begged for mercy, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Tan, just what I just said is just nonsense, don't take it to heart, I can't afford it!" ”

"What's the matter, Brother Lei doesn't recognize me as a friend?"

Tan Sitong frowned, he naturally heard the coldness in Lei Hu's tone, and said dissatisfiedly: "Whether Brother Lei wants to participate in the reform or not, we are all friends, aren't we?" ”

"Yes, yes, we're friends!"

Lei Hu laughed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "As long as Brother Tan doesn't talk to me about any major affairs in the court, we are still friends!" ”

Da Da Da ......

The sky was getting darker and darker, and when Tan Sitong and Lei Hu continued to laugh and talk about light topics, a sound of horses' hooves galloped from far and near.

"Shopkeeper, hurry up and prepare wine and food for our brother, if you are slow, be careful, we will demolish your small shop!"

A rough voice was amazingly loud, and it was still clearly audible in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and when it got closer, it shook the eardrums of a dry drinker in Yedian, and it was not surprising.

With a burst of people shouting and neighing, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper had warmly greeted them, and then a big man with a knife and a sword and a fierce man walked in.

"Get out of the way, make room for the uncle, and get out of the way if you don't want to be beaten!"

The leading man shouted at the top of his voice, and the hideous scar on his face was particularly terrifying, and some timid guests got up and left one after another, not daring to stay longer.

Soon, in the small lobby of the wild shop, only Lei Hu and Tan Si were left with the same master and servant, which happened to occupy a large area and four or five tables in the lobby.

"Who are you?"

Seeing the elite of the militia sitting together, the arrogant face of the person who came was stunned, and his voice eased down and asked.
