Why can't 300 Lao Tzu do such a good thing?

PS: On the last day, the monthly pass doubled hippo writhes its fat body, calling -

Outside the window, the light rain was ticking on the jujube trees. (Vertex Hand Hit)

In the study, an oil lamp flickered on and off, and the two figures sat opposite each other, looking at each other frankly.

"Mr. Li, with all due respect, the success of constitutional monarchies in Europe is because all countries have a very deep monarchical tradition, whether it is the British royal family or other countries, it is a short period of one or two hundred years, and the long is nearly a thousand years, and the background is not comparable to your white hands today, and the independent ideology of various countries has long been different, why do you really want to be this emperor?"

Li Mo shook his head: "Mr. Sun, you only saw the heritage and history, but you didn't notice our tradition, the eastern land has been ruled by emperors for thousands of years, and ordinary people only know that there is an emperor above their heads, if they suddenly tell them that the emperor is gone, I'm afraid the first impression is not happy, but there is no one in charge, and there is nowhere to be wronged." ”

"The intertwining of dynasties and dynasties, the world is inevitably in chaos, and the people are suffering and bullying, all because of the lack of a person to make the decision"

"Li Mo is not talented, and I don't want to hide my selfishness in front of Mr., so I only adhere to the way of building a monarch, constitution-based, although the limited ** may breed such and such problems, but this is also the best way to avoid the division of the land of China again."

"The pains of the change of dynasties are inevitable, since the United States and France can be republican, why can't I take a step in China?" Mr. Sun glared at Li Mo, a little excited.

"Sir, let's play a game."

Li Mo smiled slightly, picked up the small bowl full of red dates in front of him, pointed to the bowl in the surprised eyes of the other party and said: "This bowl is the Qing Dynasty, and this grain of red dates is the governor, the governor, the Beiyang, the Huai army, the Hunan army, as well as the Mongolians, Manchus, Li people, Han people, etc., they are all gathered in one bowl at the moment, although they can't blend, but they can't escape." ”

Li Mo said, turned the bowl over suddenly, and the red dates rolled all over the entire desk in an instant, and said with a smile: "Sir, please see, the Qing Dynasty is gone, and the power to restrain the red dates is gone, and they can only be a plate of loose sand."

Mr. Sun's eyebrows jumped, and he was about to speak, when Li Mo suddenly stopped him again, asked him to stretch out a palm, and said: "Sir, this big palm at the moment is the republic, you see, I put Beiyang in, Huai Jun in, and Hunan Jun in." ”

Li Mo said as he carefully placed the red dates in the palm of his open palm, and when he said Mengren, the red dates that had been piled up were finally scattered all over the ground without restraint after adding this one.

Mr. Sun pinched the few remaining red dates hard, his brows furrowed even tighter, he looked at Li Mo with blazing eyes, and said, "That's what you said, what I mean by not having enough strength at the moment, right?" ”

Li Mo nodded: "The United States can be a republic because it is a new country of immigrants, most of the citizens are from European countries, different beliefs, different nationalities are difficult to reconcile, and as Mr. said, that land also lacks the heritage of a monarch, it can be said that there has never been a strong monarch, so the best way is a republic." ”

"But now we are looking at us, once we lose the restraint of imperial power, it is like the big bowl that was removed just now, even if your hands grow bigger, there will still be people who will jump out, one will jump out and there will be a second, if they are all Han Chinese, forget it, but if Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang and other places all jump out, what does Mr. think?"

"Send a large army to conquer? But how much power does that take? Don't those who lead troops outside and have military power outside to join the republic have no selfish motives? Li Mo's tone suddenly high-pitched, and said: "Li Mo is selfish, because I want to be the emperor, from the beginning I want to use my strength to change the country, I can no longer bear to watch him sink little by little."

"Li Hongzhang likes to use razing to control razing, and in the end, he was taken by the foreigners, but he did not stop those greedy ambitions, and the appetite of the great powers will not be slightly reduced because you are republic."

"This is a beautiful continent and a rich country, but the more this happens, the more the great powers will bite and refuse to give up."

"So I need power, I need people to follow me, to reinvigorate China with me, to drive away those great powers and foreigners, and to let this nation be reborn like a phoenix."

Looking at Li Mo's excited and waving arms, Mr. Sun shook his head after being stunned for a long time: "Mr. Li, what you said at the moment is very good, maybe it is right, but what about the future?" Founding fathers have always been virtuous, but how do you ensure that your children and grandchildren will remain virtuous? ”

"No guarantees." Li Mo laughed: "That's why I chose the constitution and handed over the property to the government to supervise, and when the country is on the right track, I will hand over power little by little, but now no one can do it, even if it is you, sir."

Mr. Sun pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head dejectedly, after many days of getting along, there have been no less than ten such discussions, but the two have always been at odds and unable to integrate at all, so he had to sigh and say: "Over the past few days, what I have seen and heard in the three provinces has indeed opened my eyes, but I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to help Mr. Li." ”

Li Mo also had a premonition that there would be such a result, if he was a person who changed so easily, I am afraid that he would not be called the father of the country by future generations, so he could only give up this failed training, took out an envelope and said: "Sir, if one day you think that Li Mo is worthy of this monarch, then this position is yours."

"Position? This is? Mr. Sun hurriedly opened the envelope, and when he opened it, he was stunned, and there were only a few big words on the letterhead. No party, selfless, upright, the world is for the public, in order to become an independent official. ”

Independent ** officer

Mr. Sun couldn't help but feel throbbing in the young man's mind, he knew very well what this position represented, if he really became an independent ** official, it meant that he could supervise any illegal acts, including the royal family

This is not ordinary power, it is simply extremely powerful

"Sun is ashamed to take such an important position, but even if I don't have this position, I will watch you elsewhere." Mr. Sun took a deep breath, slowly put down the letterhead, got up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your righteous action, so that my 2,000 soldiers can get out of trouble and say goodbye." After saying that, he didn't even give Li Mo a chance to send it, and quickly disappeared into the dark rainy night.

Li Mo waved his hand and asked Da Zhuang to send a few people to protect him from the Northeast, while he sat blankly, looking at the letter and secretly saying that he was lucky, to be honest, although he believed in Mr. Sun's personality, it would be a headache for him to put a tightening spell on his head at this moment, at least he was not willing to be restrained now.

"Nemo, Mr. Sun is gone?" Yue'er was holding a pot of hot tea, and when she walked in, she found that Mr. Sun, who had been talking with the young master for several days and seemed to be a friend who had not seen him for many years, had long been gone.

"Gone." Li Mo took a breath, looked tired and threw the letter paper into a ball and threw it into the paper basket, seeing his expression, Yue'er was also a little distressed, and hurriedly put down the tea and walked over to pinch his shoulders for him.

The gentle fingertips gently rubbed and rubbed on the shoulder, only to make Li Mo feel that his whole body was relaxed, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed the small hand on the shoulder, held it down and said: "Yue'er, if one day you suddenly find out that we are all in the mirror, what will you do?" ”

"What should I do?" Yue'er's beautiful eyes flashed, and after thinking about it, she suddenly walked in front of Li Mo and said with a smile: "Yue'er doesn't know, but if it is Yue'er, she will not let this happen."

Yue'er slowly sat on Li Mo's body, her buttocks pressed against her thighs, and said softly: "Nemo, you are not alone now, but don't forget, the little sister is already pregnant and has your child." ”

"My child" Li Mo took a deep breath, leaned back in the chair and his eyes gradually brightened, since Mr. Sun came, he seemed to have fallen into a fog, but at this moment Yue'er's words made him suddenly sober up, he had come back and returned to this world.

So, what about the Father of the Nation when everything is not supposed to go back to the way it was? The path he has taken does not mean that he should also take it, but that he should take it better than him

The corners of Li Mo's mouth crooked, he finally walked out of this mental path, and from now on, the Republic Navy engineer in his previous life will disappear completely, he is Li Mo, Li Mo in this era

The knot in his heart opened, and the person became cheerful, and grabbed Yue'er's breasts with his big hand, and joked: "Yue'er, it seems that you haven't come to me these days, do you want me?" ”

"Dead" Yue'er's chest was sore for a while, and when she heard this, she suddenly blushed and said, especially if this is still a study, if someone breaks in, isn't it.

Smelling the delicate body of the faint fragrance, Young Master Li couldn't bear it anymore, gently pulled Yue'er's body, ignored her coquettish scolding, and his big hand slipped from the placket to his chest, playing with the two pieces of fat that he couldn't put down.

Outside the window, it was cold and rainy, but the heat in the study was getting higher and higher, under Li Mo's domineering hands, Yue'er was already emotional after a while, holding him behind his back, as if he was invited.

Seeing this, Young Master Li smiled even more evilly, threw all the thoughts that came because of Mr. Sun into the night rain and washed them away, tore off his autumn pants vigorously, and waited until the fat buttocks of Wanwan porcelain white, and the ** sandwiched in the middle were exposed to his eyes, and he slapped it suddenly, and squeezed it in in the voice of Yue'er, and threw himself into the intoxicating ** female love.

The violent sensation made Yue'er, who had only maintained a trace of clarity under the storm, find that Li Mo seemed to be a little different tonight-

The port of Benin was filled with ships, from wooden sailing ships to coal-fired steel ships, most of which were British, French and Portuguese freighters, and the dark-skinned coolies, under the cries of the colonists, loaded the goods and resources that had gathered here from all over the world and brought them back to Europe for the enjoyment of the white people.

This is colonization, it is plunder

Europe is barren, and many resources on the small European continent are even the three northeastern provinces, and there are too many countries squeezed in, so the distribution of resources has caused a lot of conflicts, which has also led to the increasingly fierce colonization of Europe, but the colonies are also limited, and the competition for those resources that have been found and easy to exploit is becoming more and more fierce under the condition that the resource exploration and exploitation capacity is limited.

As time went on, and with the discovery of gold and diamonds, the competition for Mozambique intensified, and Portugal, a great power of the Age of Discovery, became increasingly unfavourable in its grip on the city, and although it was barely retained by the Berlin Conference, most of the ships passing through the port of Benin flew the British and French flags.

On the wharf of the beautiful Port of Benin, the Portuguese owner of the open-air restaurant raised his head and looked enviously at the five huge cargo ships gathered on the sea in the distance.

He had been here for thirty years, had seen freighters from many countries, and he knew that there were a steady stream of new ocean-going freighters coming out of dock in Europe, but they rarely came, preferring to go to the more fertile South Africa next door.

But now there are five new freighters here, and he can clearly identify these new ships that have been launched for less than three years, and can concentrate five such large freighters at a time, even in Europe, only the very wealthy shipowners can do it, but now?

He glanced at the few yellow-skinned shipowners on the table in the distance, he really couldn't imagine how there could be such a group of outliers, such wealthy yellow-skinned shipowners in this white-ruled world? Where do they come from?

"Is this thing really edible? Why does it look like a chicken kidney? I'll call it cashew nuts after I see it."

Tan Wang didn't notice that anyone was paying attention to him, he was holding a few things the size of chicken kidneys and studying, as if he was thinking about whether this thing could really be eaten, and he didn't know that his casual name would spread throughout the Chinese circle in the future.

Since the convoy was absorbed by the navy, he was transferred to the navy logistics department, because this time the cargo was really important, although it was a freight company, but the navy was still not at ease, so he sent him to bring a full hundred marines, mixed in the fleet to protect.

From the Ryukyus to Guam, and from Guam through Micronesia to Western Australia, where it coaled in a seaport already controlled by Thomas Mining and the Chinese, and finally crossed the Indian Ocean, halfway around the world to reach the area.

A long voyage at sea is far from being so fun, and a few months of boring and monotonous life can make people go crazy, so there have always been many crew members who will indulge themselves after docking, and Lin Yongxiang did not restrict the crew, in addition to letting them be careful about their personal safety and prevent leakage of news, he also arranged for the crew to take turns to get off the ship and rest.

Jiin, the tavern is always the liveliest place by the dock, and in this white-dominated world, many people are not used to a group of yellow-skinned people waving money and snatching women from them, so there is constant conflict.

However, Lin Yongxiang and Tan Wang not only did not stop them, but also let those marines who had received martial arts training disguise themselves as shipwrights to join them, they knew that this was actually the same as war, on the battlefield, the soldiers relied on one jaw-dropping victory after another to silence the white people, and in this way, they also wanted to get more white shipowners and colonists to get used to the Chinese having recently joined them

Fortunately, the Portuguese colonial government here is not an idiot, although the transmission of news cannot be compared with Europe, or even the Far East, but the continuous transmission of news here from the country makes them understand that in the Far East, a powerful Chinese regime is being born, and the Portuguese, who are already trembling and frightened to defend Mozambique, are afraid of others coming to rob them, and they understand the meaning of maintaining justice.

In this way, the most unlucky are the owners of the third-rate forces, who are either expelled by fines or have to obediently give up the woman in their arms to these new nasty guys

"Cashews? It's quite a figurative name. Lin Yongxiang pinched two grains and put them in his mouth, tasted them carefully and nodded: "It tastes good, I will buy some and bring them back later, and see if I can open up sales." ”

Tan Wang couldn't cry or laugh: "My Lin Da shopkeeper, I see that you have fallen into the eyes of money."

His words did not cause a roll of eyes, but made Lin Yongxiang smile when he heard it: "What's wrong with the money eye?" The young master has just started up in the world, and he has to use money everywhere, so are we really watching the young master struggle to support him alone? ”

Lin Yongxiang pinched the cashew nut and continued: "Actually, I inquired a long time ago, this thing is delicious, the shell can be used to extract oil, and that kind of oil is specially used in Europe to lubricate machine parts, which is a good thing." ”

"Oh? So I really have to buy some. ”

"In addition to buying, I also plan to bring some seeds back to the Ministry of Agriculture to see if I can try planting them in Luzon."

"Okay" Tan Wang sighed: "It seems that you are really different from before." ”

"Hehe, it's not the same, it's not good, those boys in the back are trying to surpass our Pacific Cargo" Lin Yongxiang squinted and smiled, and just as he was about to speak, several figures in the distance suddenly made the smiles on his faces disappear abruptly.

Tan Wang hurriedly looked back, only to see two Chinese men coming with three white men, and hurriedly walked over when he saw the two.

"Brother Lu Xiong, it's been a long time." Tan Wang hurriedly got up, greeted him with a smile and hugged the leading Chinese man, hugging each other as if he hadn't seen friends for many years, but quietly asked in his ear, "Is it the main one?" ”

"Yes."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Tan Wang narrowed his eyes and secretly made a gesture to Lin Yongxiang behind him, who finally settled down a lot after seeing it, and after a few people sat down again, Lu Xiong immediately introduced the white man led by everyone: "This is my good friend Phyllis." ”

"Mr. Phyllis, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Phyllis was also a little surprised, he didn't expect this seemingly inconspicuous Chinese to know German, although he didn't speak it standard, but at least there was no problem with the pronunciation, and hurriedly smiled: "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to know German." ”

"Hehe, I only learned a few things occasionally."

After greeting a few people with a smile, the anxious Phyllis quickly turned to the topic: "You really brought 30,000 Mausers?" ”

Lin Yongxiang and Tan Wang glanced at each other, took out a few cigars and handed them to each other, and then said slowly: "Mr. Phyllis, my ship is here, and I think the information you got is not very accurate, to be exact, it is 30,000 of the best German Mauser rifles, 30 Maxim machine guns and 50 of the latest 75mm cannons, and enough ammunition to squander."

"God"

Phyllis was also stunned by this detailed list, and at a time when the conflict between Britain and Boer was becoming more and more intense, it would be a great gift to General Joubert, who was anxious to expel the British

"Mr. Phyllis, I think Mr. Lu should have told you that this time we need to pay in gold"

"Yes" Phyllis decisively agreed to the request, Boer did not lack gold, otherwise it would not attract the greedy British, before its main arms supply was dependent on Germany, but recently the British have strengthened the patrol of the coast, not allowing German freighters to approach, so when they got the news, they immediately rushed in person.

Hearing that Phyllis had decisively agreed to the conditions now, Tan Wang's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he suddenly pretended to look around, and cautiously approached Phyllis secretly, saying, "Mr. Phyllis, do you still have extra gold?" We have a big deal, six grams of gold per pound, can you sell us some? ”

"Six grams a pound?" Phyllis's eyes lit up suddenly, you must know that the price of pounds to gold is fixed, and each pound can be exchanged for more than seven grams of gold, but now the other party is willing to exchange it at the price of six grams, which means that if you sell one pound of gold, you can have a gram of premium

But why did the other party suffer such a big loss?

"Mr. Phyllis, you should know very well where we come from, we are in urgent need of gold to build up our own financial reserves, it turned out that we wanted to exchange it with the British government, but they refused to allow us to exchange gold on a large scale, and only allowed to purchase goods and materials in pounds, so I hope to buy some through you, of course, it doesn't need a lot, otherwise we will lose money"

Phyllis nodded, waving the pound sterling to exchange gold for Britain on a large scale It was impossible, and the gold standard was not completely free, so he immediately asked, "How much do you want?" ”

"Thirty tons, not including after the sale of arms"

Hearing this number, Phyllis breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party opened his mouth to hundreds of tons, then there must be a problem, but now only thirty tons, this number is not huge, in South Africa, which can import a hundred tons of gold to Britain every year, this is only a small number.

Soon, a few people reached a deal, and the fleet that had been docked outside the port for a few days left a partner and began to slowly sail south, looking at the fleet slowly leaving, Lin Yongxiang and Tan Wang, who were waiting here, suddenly laughed, and even Lu Xiong narrowed his eyes.

"Come, smoke a cigarette." Tan Wang smiled, took out a pound bill from his pocket, rolled it up and lit it with a match, the three of them immediately leaned over and lit the cigarette, Lin Yongxiang squinted his eyes in the smoke, looked at the pound that was about to burn out, and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about this thing, how did the young master get it?" Lao Tzu has touched a lot of pounds, and when I saw it, I didn't see that it was fake."

"Whatever, you don't know the young master's methods yet" Tan Wang threw away the pound with only a dime left, and patted Lu Xiong's shoulder with a smile: "Brother Lu, but I'm sorry for you, spend 100 million pounds in this bird Africa in three years"

"**, why can't Lao Tzu do such a good thing?"
