Chapter 730: Only the Blade and the Muzzle of the Gun
Regarding the ownership of Kaiping Coal Mine, Ye Rongguang only knows a rough idea.
Everyone is only a few words and is not comprehensive, and the authorities are even more confused.
However, the leaf dissolves the light to determine one thing.
At that time, the Kaiping Mining Bureau, a coal mine in the undisputed territory of the Qing Dynasty, had to decide its ownership in a purely Western form in a Western court decorated with robes, wigs, scales, and debates.
It doesn't matter about the dynasty, but anyone who still thinks that he is a Chinese Chinese will feel aggrieved when he hears it.
Since Zhao Chuanxin is in the end, Ye Rongguang no longer thinks about whether this matter can be done in the end, even if Zhao Chuanxin kills a few more culprits, it will be a very happy thing.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Ye Rongguang would even want to drink a few cups to express his chest.
The Dragon Banner incident made him feel aggrieved.
A short time later, the soldier returned with a stack of papers.
Zhao Chuanxin took out the fountain pen he carried with him and handed it to De Xuanlin: "You know about Kaiping Mine and related industrial structure, you come to write the agreement." I'm the same as Zhang Yi, I won't look at it when you finish writing, and sign it directly. ”
After saying that, he also got up and kicked Zhang Yi's corpse, which was cold......
Ye Rongguang is so happy, it seems that a basin of cold water has been poured on dog days.
At the beginning, Zhang Yi's second force just signed without looking at it, and he was coaxed by De Xuanlin and Hu Hua and didn't know it.
Now Zhao Chuanxin bluntly said that he signed it directly without looking at the agreement, which was the same as Zhang Yi at the beginning, but Ye Rongguang knew that if he dared to move a little bit, the end would definitely be worse than Zhang Yi.
Sure enough, De Xuanlin was very nervous, and wiped the sweat on her forehead again and again: "Mr. Zhao, this, this, writing the sale contract and the transfer agreement, you need the original documents to catch the Tang Ao, you need a list of assets, you need a list of shareholders, as far as I know, the minority shareholders have celebrities like Mo Lixun, the chief reporter of the "Times", and they all need equity transfer, otherwise we will lose the shareholder Olympic aid ......"
Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "What Mo Li follows Li Hongzhang, the previous agreement is all invalid, and I will write that all the existing assets of Kaiping Coal Mine will be transferred to my name, and all the previous equity will be invalidated, and their investment will fail." Lao Tzu bought the mine, just to look good there, and he didn't need the help of others......"
De Xuanlin and Wei Ying were speechless.
De Xuanlin continued: "But without the recognition of the British consul and the signature of the governor of Zhili Yuan, the effect of this treaty ......."
"I, Zhao Chuanxin, put the three words on the desk, that is, Wang Fa!"
Ye Rongguang looked sideways when he heard this.
De Xuanlin stopped talking nonsense and began to write.
Wei Ying watched coldly.
In Yushengxuan, only the rustle of the pen walking away the dragon and snake remained.
But the grapevine is already flying.
First of all, in the first-class carriage of the Jingfeng Railway train, the news that a Chinese had killed and insulted a foreigner spread before the train arrived at Shanhaiguan.
Numerous telegrams flew to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing court, and several countries protested at the same time and demanded that the Qing court immediately hand over the murderer.
Secondly, at the gate of Tang-Shan Town, in Yushengxuan, the news that Ye Rongguang of Zhizhou and Wei Ying, the current head of Kaiping Mine, were trapped by thieves spread at the same time.
At this time, the yamen of the Qing court leaked on all sides, and the news was quickly transmitted to the British garrison.
Since the signing of the Treaty of Xincho, the great powers have stationed heavy troops in major concessions and coastal cities, as well as along important railway lines, especially along the Tianjin Weihe Jingshi Railway.
A large number of British troops were stationed nearby.
The news reached the Kaiping mining area, and soon a British engineer contacted the local garrison.
Because they received the news that the British had been killed on the Jingbong Railway, the local garrison was already alert.
The local British garrison immediately sent a large contingent and marched towards Yushengxuan.
At the same time, Aixin Jueluo Yixuan is also anxious.
The envoys of various countries in Beijing united to ask for a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss an explanation.
But at present, Aixin Jueluo Yixuan has no idea who the murderer is.
Immediately afterward, he received a telegram from Luanzhou, saying that Ye Rongguang of Zhizhou and Weiying of Kaiping Mine had been detained.
Aixin Jueluo Yixuan slumped on the chair and rubbed his presbyopia: "Eventful, eventful...... This king is to report this to Lafayette. ”
Since the Gengzi Rebellion was suppressed, in recent years, there have been only a few people who have the audacity to make trouble.
If it happened in the south, Cixi would be the first to think of Sun Gongwu.
But the farce happened near the left side of the capital, so don't think about it, Cixi smashed the tea bowl, covered her chest and breathed a little quickly: "Thief, Zhao Chuanxin's thief who smoked a few taels of flesh must be him!" ”
Aisin Jueluo Yixuan: "......"
Don't say it, don't say it...... After a little bit of Cixi's request, he also felt that Zhao Chuanxin must have done it.
Aixin Jueluo Yixuan muttered: "Lafayette, if not, directly announce that the murderer in the world is Zhao Chuanxin?" ”
It's just right for Zhao Chuanxin, if not, then put the basin on Zhao Chuanxin's head and divert the attention of the powers.
Just like when Japan and Russia fought a big war outside the border, the Qing court sat back and watched and felt complacent that it had taken advantage, and the same is true at this time.
When Cixi heard this: "Okay, let them make trouble, just do it!" ”
The Outline of the Constitution, recently approved by the Qing court, was a source of intense public opinion, as instead of implementing the much-anticipated constitutional monarchy, it consolidated imperial power......
Cixi is reluctant to wipe Zhao Chuanxin's ass, and her own mess still needs to be solved urgently.
If we say that the ratification of the "Outline of the Constitution" has caused waves, it has already extended to Japan.
Sun Gongwu's camp founded the "Minbao" in Japan.
Since the publication of "Minbao", it has been fighting with the reformist newspaper "Xinmin Cong Bao" headed by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao.
"Minbao" is mainly republican, while "Xinmin Congbao" is autocratic.
Min Pao advocated the establishment of a constitution with civil rights, while Xin Min Cong Pao advocated an enlightened and autocratic government.
The two sides are arguing with each other, and the fight is in full swing.
Because "Minbao" was founded in Japan, but in Sun Gongwu's camp, in fact, some people have already seen Japan's ambition to invade China, and issued an article exposing it, and was banned once. Later, although the matter was not directly mentioned again, there were also insinuations.
Japan has long been dissatisfied with this, and recently because the Qing court approved the "Outline of the Constitution" to consolidate imperial power, the writers of the "Minbao" immediately became enthusiastic and ridiculed, and the polemics between the two sides reached an unprecedented peak.
The "Minbao" began to aggressively advocate the assassination, while the "Xinmin Cong Bao" opposed the assassination.
Under the pretext of advocating assassination, Japan directly banned Minbao.
The approval of the "Outline of the Constitution," which is against the current of the times, has also blown to the northwest.
Qi Zhenlu put down the newspaper and said angrily: "Seeing that the autumn harvest is imminent, I have to start preparing." ”
The younger brother Qi Zhenhai was next to him and stopped talking.
Li Feihu was still a little confused: "Why did this "Outline of the Constitution" make Feiqing so angry? ”
"The constitutional monarchy has become a mirror, and the corrupt officials in Liangzhou will only get worse. Now the only way to fight greed is to fight greed with violence. Qi Zhenlu restrained his anger and explained to him.
Li Feihu remembered one thing: "But I went to fly in the sky a few days ago, and I was told by that foreign baby that the shopkeeper Zhao went out and didn't know when he would return." Feiqing, you say it's not strange, there are so many heroes flying in the sky, and now they are all being turned around by a child who doesn't have any hair. ”
"You're talking about Shopkeeper Zhao's apprentice, right?" Qi Zhenlu asked.
"Yes, why did Shopkeeper Zhao accept a foreign baby apprentice?"
"A few days ago, the king changed his name and came to the door, but I heard a rumor, it is said that although the foreign baby is young, he is even more strategic, but he has no ability in fists and feet."
Wang changed his name to come to Liangzhou, and took the core members of the Lao Yell Society to rehearse in the depths of the desert.
Li Feihu stroked his beard: "This reminds me of the rehearsal that Wang changed his name, what is the rehearsal?" ”
"This ......" Qi Zhenlu shook his head: "I don't know, flying in the sky is weirdly tight." ”
When Yushengxuan was already dark, the sun flew in the sky before it went down.
In the restaurant, a group of people had just finished eating.
Benjamin Goldberg laid out the drawings on the dining table, and there was a sand table on the other.
Everyone is drinking tea.
Wang changed his name and asked Benjamin Goldberg, "Why do you have a needle's eye?" ”
Benjamin Goldberg has a swollen bag, perhaps caused by the change of seasons.
He said lightly: "Don't make a fuss, it's like this to see Liu Ai see too much." ”
Liu Ai, who was wiping the table next to him and had a "sultry" posture, rolled his eyes: "I look pleasing to the eye, don't slander in vain." Who are they? ”
Benjamin Goldberg laughed: "Outsiders." ”
Liu Ai: "......"
At this time, the potsticker took the measuring stick and hurriedly came over.
"Look, our shopkeeper has planted some millet at random, and the size of the cob is so amazing and majestic, guess what it looks like?"
When everyone looked at the plump and straight bud rice sticks, they were ashamed to stop talking.
Seeing that everyone ignored him, the pot sticker was a little embarrassed, and took out another stick of bud rice: "Look, this is a stick of bud rice that I stole from outside, so shrunken and small, guess what this looks like?" ”
The stolen buds were short, and the grains on them were sparse and ugly.
This time, everyone can no longer say silent, but a little annoyed.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" The king changed his name and scolded.
The pot sticker didn't understand why everyone reacted this way, he scratched his head: "What I mean by this is that the bud rice planted by the shopkeeper looks like a tall green pine; And the outside stole this stick, the seemingly inconspicuous shuttle. ”
"Blanch!" Everyone scolded.
The promotion of Mandarin by Sky Flying was a success.
Everyone speaks emphasized. are all close to Zhao Chuanxin and Benjamin Goldberg.
The potstickers were triumphant, took the bud rice stolen from outside and said: "Bao Su grows like this, I can eat two acres of land in one meal, hehe!" ”
Wang changed his name and rolled his eyes: "Idiot! ”
Benjamin Goldberg learned from Zhao Chuanxin to floss his teeth and threw them on the ground.
Liu Ai hurriedly pinched his waist with both hands and shouted: "There is no need for a trash can, why do you have to throw it on the ground, and I have to sweep it, it's really annoying." ”
Benjamin Goldberg spit out the shredded meat, got up and clapped his hands: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, it doesn't matter." Now let's plan tomorrow's rehearsal. ”
This loss is the same as Zhao Chuanxin.
If it weren't for their Asian face and white face, everyone might think that Benjamin Goldberg was Zhao Chuanxin's illegitimate son.
Everyone immediately put down their teacups and gathered around.
Now that Benjamin Goldberg has this appeal, everyone has to bow down and obey orders.
Benjamin Goldberg assigned the task, several people in a group, where to attack, how to intercept the soldiers, how to avoid bloodshed, and the head of the story was in good order.
Finally, he said, "Tomorrow, we will rehearse it like this." ”
He had already set up a simulation field in the desert.
The crowd agreed.
……
De Xuanlin wrote the "Sale Contract" and the "Transfer Contract".
Although Zhao Chuanxin said that he would not read it, he still handed Zhao Chuanxin two contracts.
Zhao Chuanxin really didn't look at it, and signed the name of the dragon flying phoenix dance casually, traditional Chinese.
Then he handed the two copies of the agreement to Wei Ying: "Sign it!" ”
The diners in Yusheng Xuan stretched their necks.
They are not so afraid at this time, obviously Zhao Chuanxin's target is obvious, and he will not easily harm others.
Wei Ying pursed her lips tightly, clenched her fists and said, "I won't sign it." ”
"Think again?" Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "If you sign with fewer parts on your body, the gains outweigh the losses." ”
Wei Ying's body trembled, but he still shook his head.
Even if the treaty has no legal effect, as long as he signs it, it is equivalent to betraying the Eastern Synjadi, and his future will be ruined.
Zhao Chuanxin said to De Xuanlin: "Go, hold his legs, you don't need legs to sign anyway." ”
De Xuanlin looked at Wei Ying at a loss, looked at Zhao Chuanxin, and finally set her eyes on Ye Rongguang.
He wanted Ye Rongguang to intercede for him.
Even if he kept saying that he was on Zhao Chuanxin's side, there was still some residual hope in his heart, hoping that in the future, British Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Zhu Erdian would understand his situation at this time.
But if he aids in the abuse and helps Zhao Chuanxin break Wei Ying's leg, the last glimmer of hope will be dashed.
Ye Rongguang sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart When you and Hu Hua ran for Molin Company to deceive the coal mine, why didn't you expect it today?
Don't say plead for him, even if he doesn't mock him, even if he is soft-hearted.
Zhao Chuanxin's eyebrows raised: "Huh? De Celin? I will slash you with this knife, and it will be a blue and a purple one. ”
De Xuanlin looked at the outrageously long Miao knife with a faint blood stain that had not been wiped clean, which is a blue and purple piece, I am afraid that it is a piece of Yushengxuan in the east and a piece in the west, right?
He shuddered and came to Wei Ying's side, and Wei Ying looked at him in disbelief.
But De Xuanlin gritted her teeth and still raised Wei Ying's legs.
Wei Ying naturally struggled violently, and De Xuanlin risked his old life, and used the strength of breastfeeding that he almost forgot to hold, and held his legs.
Zhao Chuanxin took out the scepter of redemption with a cigar in his mouth, and held it high.
Wei Ying was scared: "I signed, I signed ......"
Zhao Chuanxin nodded, and De Xuanlin put down Wei Ying's legs with a sweat.
"I believe that there is still true love in the world, and the brilliance of human nature is revealed at this moment!" Zhao Chuanxin happily pushed the agreement over. "Let's say it first, I'm not as despicable as De Xuanlin and Hu Hua, deceiving you, I'm upright, and I only make deals under many witnesses."
Wei Ying: "......"
De Xuanlin: "......"
Ye Rongguang blurted out a sentence of "happy".
waited for Wei Ying to sign the agreement with a dead face.
The foreigners in Yushengxuan were silent, and the Chinese people who still had a conscience suddenly stood up and applauded.
"Mr. Zhao is doing well!"
"Mr. Zhao has a bad breath for us in Luanzhou!"
"It's worth being scared today."
Since they figured out Zhao Chuanxin's identity, they were actually afraid.
Although Zhao Chuanxin has the name of killing gods and butchers, it is called by foreigners.
Although Zhao Chuanxin killed a shopkeeper, the shopkeeper begged for his own hardships.
From the bottom of his heart, what Zhao Chuanxin has done in recent years, the people are still willing to give him a thumbs up.
Zhao Chuanxin got up and arched his hand around: "The small skill of carving insects is not worth mentioning, it is not worth mentioning......
Today, you are frightened, but Zhao's is not.
Today, to recapture the Kaiping Coal Mine, Zhao does not seek profit, not for selfish desires, but only for the people of Luanzhou to breathe a sigh of relief and stop the bleeding for the mountains and rivers.
Zhao's expectation is not bad, this time the knife is too ruthless, and the British devil will definitely not give up.
Let them fight, and they will fight for as long as they want. Fight until they abandon the Kaiping coal mine.
The country is weak, the people lack food and clothing, we have no strong ships and artillery, and our soldiers are not as well trained as foreigners.
It's a joke that we have to fight a lawsuit in a foreigner's place for our own coal mining rights!
We are not strong, but,
Bloodiness is our last line of defense.
The dignity that Zhao wants can only be taken at the muzzle of the blade.
Ladies and gentlemen, if there are innocent casualties, I hope the people can understand! ”
There was silence in Yusheng Xuan.
Then the crowd exploded!
