Chapter 18: The Despicable Foreigner
The Black Flag Army is not very famous among the people. But in the hearts of those who really know the inside story, the Black Flag Army is equivalent to a strong army.
The weak Qing Dynasty, the children of the Eight Banners who could not ride a horse-drawn bow, only knew how to bully the weak and fear the hard. All in all, the empire has come to an end.
A ruler who is afraid of destroying his subordinate army at all costs, who is weak to foreign enemies, and who kneels and begs for mercy, is already at sunset and cannot rise. In the Black Flag Army, he may not have read much, but General Zhao is really well-informed.
In that year, he followed Liu Yongfu to fight against the Qing Dynasty. In the absence of weapons, soldiers, and food, the Qing Dynasty still fought and retreated. If it weren't for the fact that he faced too many enemies, and Liu Yongfu only had combat skills and no ruling energy, I am afraid that this world would have already changed the sun and the moon.
Even so, even if they took refuge in the Manchus.
The Black Flag Army is still undiminished, killing the French, killing the British, and even garrisoning Taiwan to resist the army of the island nation.
After years of fighting, fighting day and night, the Black Flag Army has already been trained into an iron army. Unfortunately, backwardness is backwardness after all, backward weapons, insufficient soldiers, poor food, and without a strong backing, the Black Flag Army has failed after all.
Throughout the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, the land of China was full of heroes.
A heroic general who can fight, kill, and dare to fight and fight can't be counted in the palm of his hand.
Daqing, is there really no energy to rise?
Not......
Because those who dare to fight and kill are all Han Chinese, because those foreigners who can kill are also Han Chinese.
The Manchus were afraid and would never support it. even attacked behind the scenes to weaken the Han people's armed forces.
They would rather be oppressed by foreigners than see Han Chinese stand up.
Rather with friends than with house slaves!
is as strong as Zeng Guofan, as strong as Zuo Zongtang, and in the end they all sighed and turned into dust.
How vast is the land of the Central Plains?
If it is really a tendon, if it is really heart-to-heart, this land has already risen.
There has never been a shortage of heroes in this land, but there is only a lack of rulers who can appreciate heroes and believe in influence.
The predecessors are right or wrong, don't say.
Whether it is the rise of the Han people who killed them, or the rise of the domestic slaves, they don't say it.
History is history, and no matter how much you say, it will not change.
Who knows, how those heroes of the year thought?
It's just that now, looking at the high-spirited General Zhao in front of him, Huang Feihong's heart is full of pride. If it weren't for the reputation of loyalty and patriotism, I'm afraid he would have shouted excitedly.
Even so, Huang Feihong's eyes lit up, and irrepressible excitement burst out from his pupils.
General Zhao did not get Huang Feihong's response, but he was not disappointed. His eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a cruel arc: "The army fights, but the masters are useless." What is needed is weapons, food and grass. Master Huang, since you know the British, you might as well buy a batch of weapons. The Black Flag Army didn't dare to say anything else, and in terms of equipment, everyone was a warrior who dared to fight and kill. Don't look at our only 100 people, Zhao can help Master Huang you lay down the Admiral's Mansion! β
He said it with arrogance and categorical certainty. The confidence in his eyes can be firm, which makes Huang Feihong sigh silently.
It was the Admiral's Palace, with countless armor.
But General Zhao directly ignored it, which shows how weak the Qing Dynasty is today.
The Black Flag Army, which lacks soldiers, food, and weapons, is still like this, let alone those well-equipped foreigners.
"Buy weapons, but where do you get the money?"
Huang Feihong frowned and asked, a little indecisive. However, General Zhao was full of joy and was not disappointed.
He knew Huang Feihong very well, pedantic, loyal to the king, familiar with the books of sages but did not open his spiritual wisdom, but put shackles on him. However, since Huang Feihong said so, it proves that Huang Feihong's heart is shaken.
As long as it is shaken, everything is easy to say.
Having embarked on that path, it is impossible to turn back.
General Zhao was overjoyed, but his eyes were even more gloomy: "The Shahe Gang has done a lot of evil, not to mention killing countless people, and even selling my Han sisters and foreigners, which is a great crime. Master Huang, we copied the Shahe Gang's family and used the silver to buy guns and guns. Then he laid down the Doge's Palace and hired foreigners to build guns. In Foshan, as long as there are enough 3,000 people and everyone has guns, our Black Flag Army can hold it for half a year. β
He has this self-confidence, and he has fought for many years and fought countless battles. General Zhao followed Liu Yongfu, I don't know how many battlefields he has seen, and he really looks down on the Manchus for combat.
The times are advancing, and courage cannot be exchanged for victory, and often a pile of bones is left behind.
Only with courage and guns can we be invincible.
The war is about money, and General Zhao has long been clear. The reason why Liu Yongfu failed was that there was no one to support him and no money to back him up.
Huang Feihong's heart was excited, but his face was hesitant: "Shahe helps me naturally know that I have heard of what they did." However, the Shahe Gang has a large number of people and good hands, and if we rush to the door, I am afraid that there will be casualties. You make me think about it......"
General Zhao couldn't hide some disappointment in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He knows very well what kind of person Huang Feihong is. Gentleman, pedantic, it is not easy to have this kind of change.
Wang Tiantian only gritted his teeth, his hands trembled, and he really wanted to give Huang Feihong a few punches.
However, thinking of being in front of General Zhao, Wang Tian held back. In the future, Huang Feihong will be the leader, and he will pay attention to the other party's face.
Huang Feihong hesitated, but General Zhao had already made up his mind in his heart. Whether Huang Feihong agrees or not, he will go to destroy the Shahe Gang tonight. Then directly hijacked Huang Feihong to revolt, and at that point, Huang Feihong couldn't agree to it.
Even, he had sent someone to sneak into the capital to inform Huang Qiying to come back. lest the Qing Dynasty get the news and kill Huang Qiying.
Bang bang bang......
The two of them were thinking differently when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Huang Feihong and General Zhao's faces changed, they were not safe at this time, and if they were approached by the government, they would be in big trouble.
"Master Huang, can I come in?"
The two were nervous when a strange voice came from outside. The voice was like a foreigner.
Huang Feihong and General Zhao glanced at each other and nodded. Huang Feihong said loudly: "Please come in." β
Squeak......
The wooden door was pushed open, and it was the foreigner who received Huang Feihong in the morning, who was said to be the suitor of the Yanma or his fiancΓ©, he couldn't remember. It's boring for foreigners to really be him, they all look almost the same.
"Master Huang, you've caused a lot of trouble. Even if I protect you for the sake of my friends, it won't be long before I protect you. Why don't you buy some weapons and protect yourself? β
"Huh? That's not what you said in the morning. Huang Feihong frowned.
The foreigner laughed when he heard this: "Master Huang, it was in front of a woman." Now, I'm here to tell you that there's no such thing as a free lunch. I have weapons, you Chinese have money. If you buy weapons, you can not only protect yourself, but you may also be able to become the king of Foshan. β
"You want us Chinese to kill Chinese, despicable."
Huang Feihong was furious all of a sudden, glaring at the foreigner. The foreigner spread his hands indifferently: "Look at you, I don't care." β
"You ......"
