Since the Spanish colonial army had surrendered, the U.S. Asiatic Fleet no longer worried about being involved in the war with Spain, and began to use direct firepower to support the Chinese troops in ground battles, and continued to transport the main Chinese forces on Luzon Island to other islands in the Philippines.
By the end of August 1897, the eighteen-star flag had flown throughout the Philippines. Since the U.S. Congress passed a bill in May, it only recognized the Nanyang Army and only provided weapons and support to the Nanyang Army, so Xiang Qiyi had no choice.
He had no choice but to let his rabble also fly the banner of the Nanyang Army and adopt the Nanyang Army designation.
Lin Youde and Xiang Qiyi agreed that after his troops changed to the Nanyang Army designation, they must curb local looting. After all, the bill of the U.S. Congress was introduced because Xiang Qiyi's previous robbery was too fierce and the food was too ugly. Xiang Qiyi
Yiyi is also considered to be a cunning and sophisticated person. Naturally he knew the pros and cons, so he sent a group of confidants to train in the team that adopted the designation of the Nanyang Army. Then he organized a separate township group to loot in front of the Nanyang Army. When the Nanyang Army came in, he staged a troop capture of the thieves.
A good show.
In addition, the color of the uniforms of Xiang Qiyi's troops is different from that of Lin Youde's troops. The uniforms of Lin Youde's troops are made with great efforts. Even if they are warship gray, why can't they fade after being washed? Xiang Qiyi's troops are originally gray-white.
In addition, the dyeing was so sloppy, and the color faded after a long period of marching and fighting. Over time, people all over the Philippines, regardless of whether they were Chinese or local, called the rebel troops white-skinned dogs, and called Lin Youde's troops gray.
Big head.
At the end of August, two towns of the Nanyang Army, the Army, and the Hailufeng Independent Mixed Association were formed in the Philippines. The first town belonging to Lin Youde controlled most of Northern Luzon and Mindanao, and the others belonged to the second town of Yiyi.
In terms of territory and equipment, since the decommissioned firearms and other military aid provided by the United States are unloaded directly at Subic Bay, first handed over to the first town of Lin Youde, and then transferred to the second town of Xiang Qiyi, so they have to pick things first.
Cheap, the first town is much better armed than the second town, but the first town has much fewer soldiers than the second town.
In addition, the Shenji Camp is completely in the hands of Lin Youde. The headquarters of the Shenji Camp is located in Helang Yabo. If you need to mobilize Shenji, you must first send a telegram to Guangzhou to ask Lin Youde for instructions, and then Lin Youde orders the deployment of troops. Yes.
The countermeasure for this direction is to control Fengying in his own hands. Situ Meitang has nothing to do about this situation. He is also a great man in the world. How could he not know how to let the two groups of Guangzhou and Hong Kong gain strength?
Only by maintaining the balance can we continue to maintain this alliance, so we also have the right to seize the general camp composed of overseas Chinese in North America into our own hands. Situ Meitang himself takes this distribution of interests very lightly. An Liangtang in Boston and
The main hall of Zhigongtang above Anliangtang made little profit during the entire Philippine campaign.
Generally speaking, the three Hongmen alliances are still united under a common goal.
Since the affairs in the Philippines were almost settled, Lin Youde was free again in the last time of this summer. Every day he went to the lecture hall behind Longyuan Pavilion to teach young people to indulge in the addiction of being a teacher. After class, he wandered around.
It's a leisurely way to pass the time.
The only regret was probably that she couldn't push him down. The girl made no secret of her fondness for Lin Youde. She also had a lot of intimate actions and basically took over everything that was originally the responsibility of Lin Youde's personal maid team. But every time
When Lin Youde was dissatisfied and wanted to hug her, she would use the power of Shen Ji to push Lin Youde away.
The reason given by Ba was very high-sounding: she had sworn that she would never pursue physical pleasure until she achieved her goal and stopped yellow people from being discriminated against in the world. Lin Youde saw that the girl was very determined, and finally gave up. It was strange.
Unfortunately, after Lin Youde temporarily gave up his plan to overthrow Ba, he suddenly lost interest in the girls in his maid team, although he still made dirty jokes and played some lewd things when he was with these girls.
game, but never overthrown any of them.
Lin Youde summed it up for himself and thought that this might be because he had higher pursuits. What's the point of pushing a girl with a golden finger for free? How can there be any pleasure in pushing a girl who has a golden finger? There are only girls like Ba who don't eat their own golden fingers.
, only after the pursuit is achieved bit by bit, does it have the meaning of love!
Lin Youde himself didn't realize that the biggest reason why he didn't move with other girls was not that complicated at all. It was just because he cared about Yima. Lin Youde didn't have the slightest feeling of liking for the girl who fell in love with him under the influence of Golden Finger.
But he really liked the girl Ba, so he gained the ability to walk among hundreds of flowers without even a leaf touching him...
Interestingly, Chen Haihui suddenly behaved himself after returning from the Philippines. Although he was still as romantic as ever in the nightclub and kept having sex every night, he no longer pursued any girl, and just regarded those girls as sex partners.
Correspondingly, Mr. Chen went to Catalina to propose marriage every three days, but Catalina would throw her out of the workshop in various postures every time.
One day, Chen Haihui was very proud and said to Lin Youde, who happened to be inspecting the workshop: "I have summarized the rules. When people are in the air, they can adjust their body posture by swinging their limbs and using momentum conservation, so that they can effectively reduce the impact when they land on the ground.
The harm I suffered..."
Then Lin Youde went up and patted Chen Haihui on the shoulder and said, "You are so unlucky. I am much gentler."
"Perhaps I should use a more drastic method?" Ba asked seriously, standing behind Lin Youde, "In that case, maybe I can leave a deeper impression on you and prevent you from doing it again next time?"
"Ba, I just want to hug your waist."
"Who knows if you will push your limits."
In short, on this hot summer day, the two men who stood at the top of the organizational structure of Lin Kee Trading Company and the Nanyang Army experienced their first defeat with the girl - it was not really a defeat, but things did not develop as they expected.
That’s all.
By the way, Ba's address to Lin Youde became you again: at first she tried hard to use "you" or "youde", but every time she relaxed, she changed back, and finally had to give up and continue to use honorifics.
thing.

In early September, the Chinese Philippine Company was established, and the Chinese-controlled Philippines had a nominal manager. Immediately afterwards, the Spanish government sent a mission to officially begin negotiations with the Chinese Philippine Company on the return of Spanish officers and soldiers captured during the war.
The exchange list naturally included the last surviving member of the Spanish nuns in the Philippines who was captured by Spain. Lin Youde asked for a large ransom, but the Spanish government could not pay it. After a long time of arguing, Lin Youde was finally
Transaction at one tenth of the proposed price.
Little did he know that the deal that had been negotiated would go wrong when Spain came to pick him up.
At that time, in front of the Spanish envoys who came to pick her up and reporters from various countries who were joining in the fun, Miss Shen Ji asked Lin Youde how much Spain paid to redeem her. After Lin Youde told the truth, the eldest lady was not happy and felt that her value had been compromised.
I've underestimated him, I won't go back to my country even if I make a fuss.
After finishing this matter, September is actually halfway over. After the Beginning of Autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival is right around the corner.
