Nie Xueqiu came out of Jin Huihuang and went straight into his carriage.
"Return to camp."
The carriage slowly started and began to drive towards the base of the Guangzhou branch of Shenji Camp.
"Miss," the maid sitting in the front seat opened the front window of the carriage and looked at Nie Xueqiu with a smile, "How about that 'sleeping for a hundred years'? Is it the hero in your mind?"
"Go and get the bus."
Nie Xueqiu's scolding made the little girl laugh even more happily. After pulling up the window, she could still hear the snickering of her and the escort who was driving the car.
Nie Xueqiu frowned slightly, but ignored them.
At this time, she had other things to worry about. After the laughter of the girls outside the car window gradually fell, a black shadow appeared in the seat next to Nie Xueqiu.
"I don't like you're so elusive." Nie Xueqiu frowned, not hiding his disgust for the uninvited guests.
The visitor smiled indifferently, and then said to Nie Xueqiu in a sarcastic voice: "Tong Nie Du, I don't understand what you are selling in the gourd this time."
The tone of the visitor sounded like a eunuch in the palace or a madam in the kiln, which made Nie Xueqiu feel uncomfortable. She suppressed the disgust of the visitor's deep bones and answered in an official tone: "It's nothing, the new official takes office, so naturally
We should first visit local snakes everywhere so that we can do things in the future. Isn’t this the custom of the current dynasty?”
"Hehe, that's right. But you didn't bring a gift, and you pointed a sword at someone's neck, so you let everyone draw a gun. Is this appointment going to have the opposite effect?"
"How come there is no gift?" Nie Xueqiu smiled, "The gift is you, Vice President Zhao."
The woman, known as Vice President Zhao, grew up and looked at the short sword pierced in her chest. She was able to become Vice President Shenji Camp mainly because she was loyal to the Qing court, and her own abilities were compared with Nie Xueqiu.
There are considerable differences, and the ability is biased towards non-combat. Facing Nie Xueqiu's cold knife, she had no response.
"You...you..."
"It seems that the rumors that the nursery school does not teach the music theory of the gods and music theory are not groundless." Nie Xueqiu said to the remaining deputy governor, "If you understand the rhythm a little, how could you not hear me and Manager Lin just now.
What does it mean?"
"you……"
Before the deputy commander continued to say, Nie Xueqiu pushed the dagger in her hand upwards, completely cutting off the connection between her heart and arteries. After that, Nie Xueqiu pushed the deputy commander's body aside, and the dagger was left on her chest.
Prevent blood from splashing into the inside of the carriage.
She took out the embroidered handkerchief, wiped the scarlet redness left on her hands, and said to the empty space in the car: "It's time for you to show up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Youde's personal guard Xue Daiba appeared in the carriage.
"Even if we want to dispel our doubts," Ba said straightforwardly as soon as he appeared, "Your move is too reckless. A deputy governor of the Shenji Camp died inexplicably, and the Qing court would definitely investigate it strictly.
It is likely to implicate my master."
"Hmph, Manager Lin is extremely courageous, but his subordinates are timid." Nie Xueqiu did not hide his contempt at all, "Aren't you planning an uprising? How great is it to just take advantage of this opportunity to rebel. The God of Guangzhou
The three thousand generals of Jiying, one of them is my old friend, and the other has been taken care of by my uncle Nie Shicheng. As long as the remaining members of this deputy governor are cut off, the last thousand general is not worth worrying about. Most of the Shenji Camp in Guangzhou can do it.
It falls into the hands of the revolutionary army of Manager Lin. It is better to choose a day than to hit the day. I think it is today."
As an orthodox Yamato Sashiko-like girl, Yukiba rarely shows an unhappy attitude. No matter what situation she encounters, she is always stable and smiling, but now even she frowned slightly.
"Miss Nie, now we should turn the car around and go to Longyuan Pavilion to discuss countermeasures. Some things are not as simple as you imagine."
"Well, that's fine." Nie Xueqiu nodded, bowed and opened the front window of the carriage, and gave a few instructions to the guards and maids who were driving the carriage.
**
In the yard in front of the Longyuan Pavilion Flower Hall, Lin Youde listened to the whole story and glared at the two beautiful girls and blew his beards for a long time. Finally, he pointed at Xue Daiba and said angrily: "Why don't you stop her?"
"Sorry, I was careless."
Ba did not argue with Lin Youde's obvious unreasonable criticism, but immediately knelt down and apologized.
Nie Xueqiu couldn't see it, so he stood up and said to Lin Youde: "What a joke? Who can stop me? This is not her fault at all."
Lin Youde was happy: Why, you were so fucked by a young lady, now you are running out to act as a hero? Nie Xueqiu, Nie Xueqiu, he looks like a good guy with both wisdom and courage, but he ends up being a rash Zhang Fei!
When Lin Youde frowned, Chen Haihui spoke. The guy leaned against the pillar of the corridor, holding a big duck pear in his hand, and said indifferently, "This is pretty good, more than 80 gods in the Shenji Camp in Guangzhou
Ji, the affiliated craftsmen and support troops have a total of more than 1,500 people. Even if we can only pull out a quarter, we have twenty gods. So, tomorrow we will cash in everything in our hands and pick up the bag and leave.
Going to Hong Kong, we have more than 20 gods, and so many people, guns and a lot of money. When we arrive in Hong Kong, we are different from our world."
"Go to Hong Kong?" Before Lin Youde could react, Nie Xueqiu shouted first, "My uncle fought to the death of his country on the Yalu River, but the Qing court believed that his extravagance led to Japan's more unscrupulous increase in compensation. Not only did he not posthumously award him a posthumous title, but instead
All of my Nie family's military power has been taken back! If such a court is left for one more day, it will be a disaster for my China! Xueqiu came to join the shopkeeper Lin to rebel against this court, but now you are going to Hong Kong? Are you not planning to be here
Is the rebellion in Guangzhou? Are you not the revolutionary party?"
"We are not," Lin Youde was not vague and directly denied it, "If you insist on saying it, we are a member of the Hongmen."
"That's even simpler. Aren't the Heaven and Earth Association and the White Lotus Sect the Anti-Qing and Restoring the Ming Dynasty? Are you worthy of your purpose now to escape to Hong Kong?"
Yes, Lin Youde shook his head, this girl is so cute.
Then he stared at Nie Xueqiu who was still yelling, and spent five seconds to consider whether he could trust her completely. Finally, he coughed twice, and the whole yard suddenly became quiet.
"Xueqiu, come with me to the study room, and some things are inconvenient to say here. Ba, you get up too, don't kneel down, the floor is so cold, you won't blame you for this."
**
Half an hour later, Nie Xueqiu sat on the bamboo chair in Lin Youde's study, putting his legs together and his hands on his knees in a manner, looking guilty: "So... I'm really a big mess?"
Lin Youde thought to himself that you knew, but on the surface he just nodded slightly. However, Chen Haihui gloated on the side: "Isn't that true? How do you prepare to apologize?"
"...I..." Nie Xueqiu shrank his neck, not as powerful as a woman and tiger in Jin Huihuang tonight. She quietly peeked at Lin Youde's face and carefully suggested, "I... kneel down on the washboard."
How about it?"
Not only Lin Youde and Chen Haihui, but even Johnnie To was serious about doing things, he laughed.
Lin Youde smiled and shook his head. He walked to the bamboo garden Go picture hanging in the middle of the study, pressing the mechanism next to the animation picture, so the famous painting that costs 2,000 taels of silver was closed upwards, revealing the bottom of Lin Youdeto, and found it.
British map of Guangdong.
There are some icons marked with pencils on the map, mainly concentrated in relatively poor places such as Hailufeng.
Nie Xueqiu was born in Tianjin Martial Arts School. Although those symbols were evolved versions of military symbols a hundred years later borrowed by Lin Youde, she still understood what was going on in just a dozen seconds.
"Come on, I'll tell you what's going on now."
As soon as Lin Youde spoke, Chen Haihui pressed his shoulder.
"No? This..." Chen Jiuge changed his hippie smile just now and shook Lin Youde with a serious look.
Lin Youde blinked his eyes and asked back, "Do you know how to lead troops to fight?"
"Who doesn't understand when fighting? Just fight if there are too many people, and if there are too few people, just skip if there are too few people." Chen Haihui replied with confidence.
Lin Youde pushed him: "Where you go cool, donate 500 taels of silver to the account tomorrow as a punishment for your random blow."
"No? Just kidding me and fine?"
Lin Youde ignored him and turned to Johnnie To: "A Feng, can you fight?"
Johnnie To's head shook like a rattle: "No. I'm honest, I don't have five hundred taels."
Lin Youde glanced at Ba again, but Ba also shook his head...
"Will it be over? We will not fight, and we will depend on Miss Nie in the future - the premise is that she learns to be calm and not reimburse all the things we have saved up with hard work."
When Lin Youde said this, Nie Xueqiu blushed and the girl muttered in a low voice: "I...I think Shopkeeper Lin - Brother Lin, you are a real hero. If the Shenji Camp is in control, you will immediately launch an uprising. That's why...
”
You have to say a few words even if you know your mistake. Miss, are you a child?
Lin Youde had no other way except sighing. He turned around, took a pencil, gestured as a teaching stick and explained to Nie Xueqiu: "From last year - no, to be precise, at the end of the previous year, I started to be poorer in Hailufeng and other places.
The region implements a plan. The main content of the plan is to purchase land from local landlords. Since the local economy is not developed, I was able to buy a considerable amount of land at a relatively low price. On these lands, I greatly reduced the land rent.
, and provide farmers who cultivate these lands with low interest or even interest-free long-term loans, allowing them to purchase necessary agricultural supplies such as plowing oxen.
"As we adopted a new strategy, the conflict between other local farmers and landlords began to intensify. Then I took the opportunity to sell the second part of the plan to the landlords. I promised them that the losses caused by land rent can be converted into equity investment.
My business. Originally, the landlords did not agree, but later they saw the prosperous scene of the commercial street I operated in front of Longyuan Pavilion. They knew that I had established contact with many foreign companies. In the end, I reached an agreement with them.
.”
The arrangement implemented by Lin Youde is very similar to the reform of landlords reducing rent and interest rates implemented by the Landlords during the War of Resistance Against Japan. The purpose is to improve the lives of farmers in poor areas. The improvement of farmers' lives means in China.
With the mass base.
These reforms allowed Lin Youde to rely on the local ethnic system to establish a relatively stable and mobilized grassroots relationship network. He also set up Guandi Temple in each "big village", established the hall of Hongmen, and organized the "Hong Kong"
Brotherhood of the Hongmen Brotherhood initially absorbed only those who rented the land of Lin Youde or received the favor of Lin Youde. The event also organized these people to worship Guan Erye, but because the members of the Brotherhood saw their lives getting better and better.
The more prosperous it became, many pragmatic farmers also joined the ranks of Guan Erye. As they bowed, they all became brothers and members of the Brotherhood.
At that time, Chinese farmers believed in whatever they believed in if they were given a good life. As for whether it was ideology or superstition, who would care.
"Now, in the entire Guangdong Province, the Hongmen Brotherhood has developed to..." Lin Youde looked at Johnnie To, and Johnnie To immediately compared the boss with a six-character character, "It has developed to 600 official members, and there are more than 1,000 stable Qingshu.
The pilgrims in the middle age are mainly concentrated in Hailufeng. These people can be regarded as reliable soldiers under our control, and can barely be compiled into a standard."
“Bulle?”
"The first bid for the first town of the Nanyang Army. Of course, this is tentative. In fact, you also know that we may have to fire the first shot abroad first."
After Lin Youde's explanation, Nie Xueqiu's eyes were straightened.
Seeing that Lin Youde had achieved the goal of further winning over and shocking the girl, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
"If Miss Nie had been to surrender for three or five years later, I, Lin, would have decided to raise an army immediately. At that time, I would have the strong force of the whole town, and with all the troops responding to the uprising, it would be possible to defend Guangdong and even rush to the Northern Expedition.
But now I have no military strength at all. My people lack military training. It is not that they lack weapons, but that they do not have them at all. I have only barely armed my dog-beating team in Guangzhou until now. And I am completely
There is no wind armor."
"Stop talking, I know I'm wrong!"
Nie Xueqiu looked like she was about to cry.
"Hey, I should be calm. Let's have a few more contacts with Brother Lin before you can take action."
"It's useless to say this now. The key is how to deal with the current situation. If we were driven away from Guangzhou by the Qing court, then all these efforts would be in vain. Maybe we would have to sacrifice many innocent people."
Lin Youde returned to his frowning look again and stared at the map.
Silence suddenly came to the entire study.
In the end, Nie Xueqiu broke the silence himself: "In this way, I will take the thorns and apologize, and say that I accidentally killed someone after a dispute over the love affairs. With the response speed of the Qing court, my treatment was probably around April, and because of the gods from all over the country
Jiying has just completed the exchange of the governor, and I will not be able to draw anyone from Guangzhou for a while. My military power will probably be maintained until April. Please ask Brother Lin to light a beacon in the Philippines before April, and then I can fight for support for the Chinese to fight.
The name of humiliation was to launch the Shenji camp to go south to participate in the war. In this way, in the outside world, I would be able to separate myself from Brother Lin.”
Lin Youde was silent for a while and felt that this was a solution, because Lin Youde had already made up his mind to hide behind the scenes in the future Chinese uprising, and only the senior officials of the Hongmen would know Lin Youde's name. So this plan really happened, and the Qing court would also
The account was settled on the Hongmen as a whole. The Shenji Camp in Guangzhou was pulled away, which would inevitably lead to the Qing government's control over Guangdong. Even if the Qing Dynasty central government wanted to move Hongmen, the local government would be sloppy and even to
Hongmen compromised and made a scapegoat.
This scapegoat hat would never be the turn of Lin Youde, who has money and guns, to come up with his head.
The question is whether Nie Xueqiu's military power can be retained until the success of the Philippine uprising. Judging from the girl's sex, it remains to be discussed how reliable she is in her breasts.
After making up his mind, Lin Youde turned to Johnnie To: "Afeng, you will take money and run more joints from tomorrow."
"Okay. So who will go to Hong Kong? I have already sent a telegram to Boss Xiang in the afternoon, indicating that someone will come to Hong Kong to discuss important matters tomorrow."
"I'll go to Hong Kong by myself." Lin Youde waved his hand and told Johnnie To not to worry. Now Lin Youde has enough confidence to face the righteousness. Just as Chen Haihui said just now, even if the Shenji Camp in Guangzhou only took away one-quarter, then
It is also comparable to the nun team left by Spain in Manila. Lin Youde has fulfilled the promise he made last year when he decided to make the Zuichun Tower.
Lin Youde, the leader of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-American Hongmen Alliance, has settled down.
