Under Li Ningyu's special forces training syllabus, high-intensity training day and night caused many of the soldiers who had just followed him to complain. However, Li Ningyu was not a reckless man. After ten days of training, Li Ningyu decided to give them a holiday.
One day, before this day, Li Ningyu also secretly arranged something between Tie Bing and Zhang Jun, and then a fight broke out.
In 1883, there was still a garrison of the Qing Dynasty in Shanghai, but at this time the Green Camp had been changed to a patrol camp. The Green Camp, which was originally part of the battle order, was now just a group of ruffians who smoked cigarettes and visited the brothels. They were soft and afraid of the hard. In the iron soldiers
Under the provocation of Zhang Jun, the soldiers who had been trained for 10 days fought with the patrol battalion in Shanghai.
At first, the soldiers were fighting in groups, but they were not alone after all. Then the fighting escalated. About 300 people from the patrol camp were dispatched, while there were only 40 soldiers on my side. It looked like there were ten times more soldiers than me.
The men and horses, and some of the soldiers were still a little scared, but with the instigation and leadership of Tie Bing and Zhang Jun, an encounter began.
Naturally, both sides suffered losses. However, many people recalled the situation afterwards. After careful analysis, they were surprised to find that both sides suffered losses at a ratio of one to ten. Finally, when the patrol camp was preparing to dispatch 500 people, I and I
Xu Guodong, the prefect of Shanghai, showed up, and after I appropriately compensated some medical expenses, the matter was naturally settled.
On the same day, after Li Ningyu hosted a banquet for the prefect Xu Guodong and the commander of the patrol camp at Xiangzhilou, Xu Guodong, who was originally drunk, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he returned to his study to write a pen and write quickly, and another secret report was quickly sent to Bauhinia City.
At this time, Li Ningyu was at a secret training ground somewhere in Shanghai, handing out bonuses to the defeated soldiers. Li Ningyu didn't waste any words and just said: "First of all: You are all good. You showed my prestige today."
, so I gave you rewards and salaries as a reward, but you also did one thing wrong today, which is why you were beaten by others. Because you are not good at studying, so I will not find a doctor for you, and I will cancel your vacation.
Start the next training immediately."
Then a group of private soldiers who complained endlessly began to train seriously. No one cried out about hardship or tiredness anymore, because as long as one person had such an idea, a group of private soldiers would show their teeth and prepare to tear him apart. While training hard,
There is also an influx of new blood, mainly children from poor families, and Li Ningyu recruits them in the name of being factory nurses and guards.
The origin of the special forces is to first have a combat team, and then select soldiers with better potential to form a team. However, in the early days, the servants who followed Li Ningyu only had 40 soldiers, plus the subsequently expanded guards and guards.
There are only about a hundred people, which is still relatively small in number, but Li Ningyu is already very satisfied. After all, he has only been in this era for less than three months.
A month passed quickly. During the day, Li Ningyu mainly trained with all the soldiers. At night, Rong'er patted Li Ningyu's back and wrote down future directions and plans. Unknowingly, Li Ningyu and Hu Guangyong came together for the first time.
The second meeting happened.
In the inner courtyard of Hu Guangyong's bank, after Li Ningyu made money for a while, Hu Guangyong said to Li Ningyu with a smile: "Little brother, let's go pick up the goods!".
"Well! Okay! Hu Caidong is here for you!" Li Ningyu then took away the raw silk with a current market value of 3 million taels of silver. After Li Ningyu took the things away, Hu Guangyong said to the waiter on the side: "Follow me.
They, I need to know where this shipment is going to go!”.
"Yes!" After hearing what their boss told them, the few boys naturally did not dare to be careless. They immediately caught up with the carriage carrying the goods and followed carefully behind. However, they did not know that the driver was Li Ningyu.
Soldiers, as the first item in the training syllabus for special forces, is reconnaissance and counter-tracking.
Li Ningyu's carriage was at the front, but while Li Ningyu was still planning what to do next, Tie Bing came to tell Li Ningyu that the convoy was being followed. Li Ningyu waved his hand casually, and Tie Bing left with a look on his face.
Without changing his smile, Li Ningyu hummed a little tune by himself. This tune is called Thirty-six Stratagems to trick Chen Cang secretly.
The raw silk worth 3 million taels was safely transported into the warehouse rented by Li Ningyu in Shanghai. Then Li Ningyu told the Taoist soldiers to stay behind and be careful about the candles. Then Li Ningyu returned to Yumanji Trading Company, and then never happened again.
After going out, it was about ten minutes in the evening when a few boys from Yumanji left, and Li Ningyu and Tie Bing were also among them.
After walking around in the alley for a long time, Li Ningyu met Tie Bing and I then went to a Western restaurant in Shanghai. In a private room, Li Ningyu and the British official assistant Williams introduced us.
The British businessman Rothchild signed a sale and purchase agreement. According to the agreed price, the raw silk that Hu Guangyong lent to Li Ningyu was sold to them for 3.3 million taels of silver. Li Ningyu gave the fraction to Williams, because Li Ningyu knew that he would still have many uses in the future.
Get to know him.
The next day, the guys sent by Hu Guangyong went back because the raw silk from the warehouse had been shipped to Beijing. However, after hundreds of carts left the warehouse, hundreds more carts appeared to take away all the raw silk from Hu Guangyong. Soon
He was quickly loaded onto a cargo ship bound for England.
In the study room of Shanghai Yumanji, Li Ningyu looked at the HSBC cashier's check in front of him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said to himself: "Old Hu, Old Hu, you must not have thought that I would use the Baoji, hahaha!
”.
Afterwards, Li Ningyu quickly squandered the three million taels of silver, buying 500,000 taels of flue-cured tobacco seeds and equipment and materials for making cigarettes, 500,000 taels of silver being used to buy 4 Xiangzhilou branches in Tianjin, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Qingdao, and 1.5 million taels of silver.
Two taels are used to buy opium, and 500,000 taels are used as a reserve.
Once again, he bought more than 1.5 million taels of opium through Williams and Li Ningyu. Williams was puzzled by Li Ningyu's purchase of opium, but he didn't ask any more questions and just helped Li Ningyu connect. Later, Li Ningyu's warehouse in Shanghai was filled with opium.
That night, Li Ningyu came to the warehouse in person. Looking at the opium filled in the two warehouses, Li Ningyu was extremely excited. At this time, Uncle Fu and Tie Bing, who followed Li Ningyu, were quietly looking at each other with complicated eyes.
Look at Li Ningyu.
Li Ningyu had long seen the look in the eyes and hesitation of words of the two people beside him. Then Li Ningyu began to mutter to himself: "Opium. Opium, commonly known as opium, was introduced by the Dutch through Taiwan in 1600."
During the Qing Dynasty, the previous Emperor Chongzhen banned opium, but some people mixed opium with tobacco and smoked it, which made opium more widespread, and to this day it is difficult for Chinese people to get rid of the bad habit."
"Master, if you know, why do you still buy so much opium!" As soon as Li Ningyu finished speaking, Uncle Fu beside him couldn't help but mutter. Although he didn't clarify what he meant, Li Ningyu still understood what he meant.
At this time, Tie Bing, who had been preparing to speak up, followed Uncle Fu and said: "Master, we can't sell opium. This is harming our own people! You can't do it!".
