June 12, 7 days after the tragedy in Surabaya City.

On this day, the Li family manor in the west of Surabaya City once again became the focus of attention of the entire Nanyang Chinese, even the white-skinned men.

On the surface, this is the contemporary head of the Javanese Bamboo Net Dragon Hall, Mr. Li, because he feels too old to deal with the family's affairs, both physically and mentally.

decided to pass on the position of the head of the family to his eldest son, Li Renyong.

Five days ago, I sent a telegram to invite the heads of Chinese families in the Nanyang area to come to Surabaya City to watch the ceremony and testify.

Just combined with the riot that took place in Surabaya City a few days ago, I know that the situation is not so simple.

The actual situation should be inseparable from the existence of the Xuange Camp that is still stranded in Surabaya City, which is a legend.

Therefore, in the past two days, in a huge Nanyang area, as long as it is a Chinese family that boasts a little wealth and strength, or a wealthy businessman, they have all come to Surabaya City.

Today's scene of the Li family is far more than the normal scene of the transition of the head of the Li family.

This is not! For a whole morning, because of the many knives he had received in the last riot, the wounds were so far from healed that there was no way to stand up now.

Even if you just sit on a chair at the door to greet the guests, you only need to face the visitors and salute with a fist, smile and say a few words.

As a result, after a morning of time, I felt that my face was sore from laughter.

The main reason is that there are too many people, not to mention, many of them are still in some families in Nanyang, it is said that the old men who have not asked about daily business and affairs for a long time have come regardless of the fatigue of travel.

Of course, the representatives of these Nanyang Chinese families were also greatly shocked by this trip to Surabaya.

The harbor was bombed to the grounded Dutch battleship, and after the violent explosion, only a little shore defense battery base remained.

Even if the streets were washed with water and sprinkled with a layer of lime powder, the smell of blood could not be completely concealed; One by one, they were blown out by large-caliber naval guns, and they didn't have time to bury the deep pits.

The most important thing is that there are as many as eleven mass graves outside the city, which are used to bury the corpses of the natives.

All of the above shows how critical the situation was in the rebellion of the natives that day.

There are also these people in the Xuange camp, how ruthless they are once they do it, the natives of East Java are afraid that they will be honest for a hundred years after this time.

For a while, the representatives of the Nanyang Chinese family, who thought of such a point, were a little distracted in their hearts......

At ten o'clock in the morning, Hu Biao stayed once when he met with Old Man Li and others, in the luxurious meeting hall of the Li family's manor.

There are a total of 231 people, and this place is already full of people sitting or standing.

The reason why I say this is that in this hall, only the heads of each family are qualified to sit down, and the one or two core children of the family they carry behind them can only stand in the back.

After the door was closed and tightly guarded.

Facing the full house of visitors, Master Li, who made the head snake on the ground, also simply stood up and made a circle salute.

He said straight to the point: "There are two things to invite you to come over today.

First, in this local riot, Li Lao'er and I made a big mistake this time, not only almost harming the Li family, but also almost harming so many Chinese in Surabaya City.

Now he really has no face, and continues to assume the position of the head of the Li family.

Today, I would like to ask you to testify that my eldest son, Li Renyong, is the head of the Li family, and I implore you to take care of it in the future. ”

Under this statement, everyone was polite, indicating that everyone is in the same vein of planting flowers, and they should take care of each other in the future.

Seeing this, Old Man Li clasped his fists again and saluted, and then left with the support of his second son.

handed over the matter of presiding over the hall scene to his eldest son Li Renyong; In such a way, it was officially announced that the words of the Li family in Java were completely transferred.

Li Renyong didn't talk nonsense, and after stepping forward and arching his hand to everyone, he directly said the real focus of the people present:

"Second, don't be afraid of your jokes, in this Turen riot, the Li family is afraid, and the Chinese in the entire Surabaya City are also afraid.

I know that if I continue to make a lot of money like I used to, and I only know how to make money, what if I am rich and rival the country? When this kind of thing happens, it's just pigs and sheep raised by foreigners, and they can be killed if they want to.

What to do? The performance of the Daqing Imperial Court this time is so clumsy, it must not be counted on.

Therefore, in the future, our Li family, Huang family, Lin family, and all Chinese compatriots in Surabaya will be completely tied up with the Xuange camp, and we will give them whatever they want.

Silver, food, and manpower, as long as we have it in Surabaya City, we will give it all.

The master of the Hu Ertong sect of the Xuange camp also solemnly promised the three of us that if there was anything else in Surabaya City; Even if it is a sea of swords and fires, it will definitely protect us.

Now Li Renyong wants to ask you, do you participate in this matter, and if you want to participate, show sincerity? ”

When he said this, although Li Renyong still had a sick face, his momentum was indescribably self-prestigious, and he had some majesty as the head of the Li family.

And after hearing Li Renyong's statement. The people present also couldn't calm down.

When they came to Surabaya City this time, they naturally wanted to make friends with the Xuange camp; Give some silver, so that you don't encounter similar disasters in the future, and you can only die.

I never thought that these big families in Surabaya would be so big, and they planned to be completely tied to the Xuange camp in the future.

To know! Xuan Geying is a traitor to the imperial court, so they are not afraid of the imperial court's blame.

In addition, they are also regarded as thorns in the eye and thorns in the flesh by foreign devils such as Yin Fa, and they will not be afraid of the suppression of these foreign devils in the future.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

If the Daqing Imperial Court really wants to pursue it, it is nothing more than that they don't return to their home country, and those Manchurians can still have the ability to come to Nanyang, and they can't be caught back?

The suppression of foreign devils, haven't they been suppressed all the time?

Besides, can't this kind of cooperation and binding with the Xuange camp be carried out in secret?

After such consideration, they found that the benefits of being tied up with the Xuange camp were enormous.

The worst result is that when you encounter something similar in the future, and there is a strong force behind you, it will be regarded as spending money to seek peace.

If it is the best result, when the Xuan Ge camp overthrows Daqing, then Hu Ertong's sect master will be the emperor, and these people are the ministers of the dragon, wouldn't the benefits be amazing.

Essentially, they are businessmen.

And many of the old men present went to the South Seas with a ferry ticket back then, and finally laid a huge family business, and their courage was actually quite sufficient.

After a while, an old man with gray hair had already stood up and shouted out with pride:

"I don't know if others are involved or not, but I followed the Qiu family in Penang; My Qiu family is willing to pay 500,000 taels of silver, and in the future, it will not be less than 50,000 taels per year as a regular practice, which can be regarded as military expenses for the heroes of the Xuange camp.

There is only one condition, I hope that the master of the Hu Ertong sect of the Xuange camp will come forward and give us a guarantee.

In addition, my Qiu family has a daughter who has been virtuous and virtuous since childhood, if the master of the Hu family is willing to marry, whether it is for a wife or a concubine, the above silver will be tripled~"

Boy! As soon as such a voice fell, it aroused the enthusiasm of others.

One after another, old men who looked trembling and stomped their feet somewhere in Nanyang, but they could make the local economy tremble.

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of silver, were opened by these people, so that Hu Biao could give them a guarantee.

A promise that if they were killed, the Xuange battalion could be slaughtered by soldiers.

even in order to marry the women of his clan to the lord of Humen, who is said to have not yet married; Among them, the Guo family in Malaysia has offered a sky-high price of 5 million taels of silver.

Special! You have to know a few years ago.

The price of the Beiyang Navy Division to buy the Zhenyuan ship only cost 1.42 million taels; With this dowry alone, you can buy three and a half Zhenyuan ships.

It is estimated that even Hu Biao's goods don't know that he is so valuable.

Seeing such a scene, Li Renyong, the new head of the Li family, smiled and said nothing.

Because if he hadn't known a long time ago, Master Hu and the same girl Anna, I am afraid that there would have been a marriage contract between the two of them, and Miss Anna would definitely be a candidate for a wife in the future.

Even if Lord Hu becomes the emperor in the future, the empress will only be like her.

As long as the Hu family can form a family, their Li family is 10 million taels of silver, or even more silver, and they are willing to smash it out.

But now! I can only ask the master of the Hu Sect to deal with the current scene......

After the voices in the mouths of everyone in the audience were a little quieter, Li Renyong immediately shouted in his mouth:

"Next, please invite Xuange Ying Hu Ertong and Hu Men Master~"

In such a voice, the noise in the hall completely stopped, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, only Hu Biao walked in from the back hall with crab-like steps.

Of course, in the eyes of the other people in the hall, it is possible to become the emperor in the future.

Between walking, this is called a dragon and tiger step, Hu Ertong and Hu Men now faintly seem to have the posture of an emperor.

And forcibly suppressed the heart, that kind of self actually has the potential to be a little white face, and it is such a valuable little white face, such a weird mind.

Hu Biao walked to the middle of the hall, and first hugged his fists and made a Luo circle salute.

When everyone hurriedly returned the salute, they shouted out of their mouths: "Come on, serve wine~"

The voice fell, and Xiaomei, the god of wealth, came over with a jar of rice wine; Because the current environment is too serious, this girl is not embarrassed to twist how to walk, and can only be regarded as a shallow twist.

But it still made some old men can't help but light up their eyes.

It's not that they're old enough to still think about this kind of pretty little girl.

Instead, he thought that if the children of the family married this girl from the Xuange camp, it would also be an excellent thing; No matter how much bride price is given, it doesn't matter at all.

Not to mention the thoughts of these old foxes, their hearts are turning.

With a knife in his hand, Hu Biao cut off the ten-pound wine jar that Xiaomei was holding in his arms.

Then, in the midst of the exclamations of the crowd, he took out a dagger from his waist and cut it in the palm of his left hand, and placed the wound on the wine jar, allowing the blood to drip into it.

After dripping dozens of drops of blood, Hu Biao stopped, and took out a handkerchief from Xiaomei's waist to wrap it around the wound.

At the same time, he also shouted loudly in his mouth: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that Hu Mou currently has a heart, and if the women of your family marry Hu Biao as a wife and concubine, don't mention it in the future."

However, Hu solemnly swears to the gods of heaven and earth, and to the heroic spirits of the martyrs of my flower family.

As long as your family lives up to my Xuange camp and my flower-planting lineage, the Xuange camp will definitely live up to you.

If you violate this oath, you will tell me that Hu Ertong will thunder and thunder, and I will not be able to die well, and even after death, my soul will not be allowed to return to my hometown, and I will be a lonely soul and a wild ghost.

Therefore, if you are willing to deal with my Xuange Camp, then go forward and drink a glass of blood wine together, and everyone will support each other in the future and advance and retreat together.

If you don't want to, then please go out, as long as everything is kept secret today~"

Hu Biao's voice fell, and Li Renyong just asked his son to carry his chair over, took the knife in Hu Biao's hand, and cut his fingers.

With Li Renyong taking the lead, there were a total of 72 large and small families and wealthy businessmen in Nanyang, but none of them were willing to leave.

Every head of the house cut off his fingers and dripped his own blood into the jar.

After a lot of work, Hu Biao was the first to pick up the jar and take a big sip, and then handed it to Xiaomei beside him.

Xiaomei took a shallow sip of it and handed the wine jar to Li Renyong; After this round of delivery, everyone drank a mouthful of blood wine.

At this point, as if a magical ritual had been completed, everyone seemed to feel closer to each other.

The only Xiaomei suddenly reacted: Special! It seems that I drank my brother-in-law's saliva just now.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that in the following time, after some deliberation by everyone who closed the door, 72 families and wealthy merchants in Nanyang raised a total of 17.21 million taels of silver for the Xuange camp.

And the promise of a common amount of silver every year was 2,610,000 taels.

It can be said that even if you don't count the space equipment that has been unlocked, those staggering amounts of pounds, francs, yen, etc., the Xuange Camp is also unprecedentedly generous among many tasks in terms of financial resources.

In addition, in terms of manpower, materials, and procurement channels, it has received strong support from these families.

And with the support of these families, the task of overthrowing Daqing was completed, and there was finally some hope for success; In short, it was a meeting of unity and victory......

******

Saying! Why is it that in such an important scene as the Li family manor, only Hu Biao and Xiaomei are there, and where are the rest of the team.

Of course, it's a holiday! After so many days of hard work, everyone was tired enough.

Considering that after the Li family's conference, everyone had to get busy again, Hu Biao gave everyone a day off today to let everyone relax.

Only the situation of the concubine is a little special.

The specific reason, of course, is that on this day, she has not completely recovered from the weakness caused by the 'demonization' on the day of the Turen riot.

Now I am still recuperating in the 'Bada' Hotel, and it is estimated that it will take three or four days to completely recover.

Of course, after such a day, the concubine's ability to move has been restored; didn't come just because she had a bad complexion, this girl who wanted to be polite refused to come out and let other outsiders see her weak appearance.

By the way, I also want to meet some special people.

For example, the licking dog he developed during her last mission: Daniel the Holly.

After tidying up his clothes again, which were actually quite straight, Daniel, who was now gray-haired and even a little hunchbacked, finally knocked on the door of the room in front of him.

When there was a gentle 'come in' from inside, it was just such a simple sentence, and Daniel even turned red in his own eyes.

Because this voice is the same as the voice he has memorized for thirty-two years and one hundred and twenty-seven days, it can be said that it is ordinary.

After taking two deep breaths, he could barely suppress his excitement, pushed open the hidden door and walked in to meet Miss Anna, Baby Anne's daughter.

After pushing the door open, the old man's tears flowed out at once.

Because he saw a woman sitting by the window at the moment, reading a copy of Tagore's Poems, wearing a little white dress.

When Yang Guan gently sprinkled on her, this scene was like Anne of the 'Deyue Tower' back then, who came to life again.

So, with a crying voice, he muttered in his mouth:

"Anna, my little angel, you are so similar to your mother, in the words of your flower plantation, it is almost like carved out of a mold."

It was also under this movement that the concubine woke up.

Then the girl's face immediately showed a feeling of surprise to the extreme, and she stood up suddenly, not even caring if the book in her hand fell to the ground.

After his mouth was full of emotion, he shouted out: "Baba~"

After hearing this, Daniel was stunned at first, and then thought of what the poor Holland man had been, and after being a little too emotional, his head twitched and he fainted......

What's that! The concubine is naturally not Daniel's daughter.

It's just a few days ago that I heard that in the more than 30 years since they left, that group of licking dogs has actually adhered to their oath and served the fleet with all their heart.

That attitude made Koushuiwei and others quite moved, and they belonged to well-deserved international friends.

What's more, after all these years, these people have not married, and now they are in a state of loneliness.

In this way, when the concubine heard this, she felt a little unbearable in her heart, and thought about doing something for them; It's just that after hypnosis, a native aunt was arranged for them to enjoy, and it is estimated that they can't bear it.

After some thought, there was a scene like today in my heart; Pretending to be their widow and calling them 'Baba', so that they can be comforted, it can be regarded as a good deed every day.

As for Hu Biao, does he know about this? Of course I know.

Originally, I didn't want to, but the concubine promised to call these licking dogs how many times, and turned around and multiplied ten to call him, and this thing acquiesced in the occurrence of this one thing.

Unexpectedly, this surprise was too big, and Daniel, the old thing, fainted with joy.

At that time, the concubine, who was as steady as an old dog, couldn't help but panic, wondering if she was playing Dafa......
