Niu Chuanshan felt proud of himself, and Qiao Yu was even more ecstatic at this time. Although he had begun to train guards, he did not dare to provoke the Qing government, so he only trained 300 people. Now Niu Chuanshan gave him the power to train patrolmen.
It was like giving him the green light to expand his strength. How could he not make Qiao Yu feel happy and hurriedly went to Qiao Cheng to discuss it.
Brothers Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng sat across from each other. Qiao Yu told the story again, and then said with a smile: "Brother, the confused officer has given me the power to recruit and train the army. As long as we train well, we will soon be able to capture another army."
Armed!"
"That is indeed the case, but this court is too stupid. Why would they dare to give away any power? Do they just want the world to be in chaos? Don't think there is any conspiracy in it!"
"It's just drinking poison to quench thirst. They have no power to control the place. They used to rely on clan power to control it. Now that industry and commerce are booming in the city, various communities have fallen into the hands of the Constitutional Party. Just like Zhang Jian and others, they have a certain number of armed forces responsible for public security and arresting thieves.
, develop education and other matters, Niu Chuanshan gave us this power with the intention of letting us deal with the Revolutionary Party, but it just fulfilled our wishes. Brother, you have to recruit all the people as soon as possible!"
"Well, don't worry, Third Brother, I will definitely recruit all the people as soon as possible!"
"Don't be too anxious. My guards haven't been trained yet. It will take at least two months to take shape. I plan to use these guards as the backbone to train patrol officers by then. Also, don't let Niu Chuanshan think that we are too aggressive.
No need to be suspicious!"
"You've lost your mind!"
While the brothers were discussing, they suddenly heard a knock on the door, and Wang Tianhe's voice came over.
"Master, someone is looking for you. They have been here three or four times. They want to see you no matter what!"
"Brother, let me go and have a look!"
Qiao Yu left the room and Wang Tianhe went straight out of the mansion. When he came to the door of Bai Mansion, he saw a man in his thirties standing at the door. He was not tall and wore a pair of glasses. He looked very elegant, but his eyebrows were high.
Tall and with very thin lips, he seemed not to be an easy person to deal with. When the visitor saw Qiao Yu coming out, he smiled slightly and spoke first.
"Mr. Qiao, it's so difficult to meet you in person!"
"This friend, I have too many worldly things to do, so it is inevitable that I will neglect my friend. I just don't know your name, and it seems that we have never met!"
"Boss Qiao is a famous person in Chongqing and a proud figure in the business world. How could he know about me? My nicknames are Yang Shukan and Yang Cangbai!"
When Qiao Yu heard this, he immediately remembered what happened in Japan. The person in front of him was the leader of the Sichuan Alliance. Thinking of this, Qiao Yu smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Cangbai. Forgive me for not knowing. Please come in. Let's talk about it."
A narration!"
Qiao Yu invited Yang Shukan into the living room. After he was seated, a servant poured fragrant tea. Yang Shukan was not polite, took a sip and said, "Mr. Qiao, I went to the factory to find you several times.
, even this Baifu has been here several times, it is really not easy to meet you!"
Yang Shukan's tone was unkind from the moment they met, but Qiao Yu remained calm. His two lives had given him enough strength to face the matter before him.
"What Mr. Cangbai blames is that I have been running around without touching the ground these days. Today I will serve you a drink to apologize! Please don't be offended, sir."
Qiao Yu became polite, but Yang Shukan didn't want to be too pushy, with a wry smile on his face: "Mr. Qiao, I'm not blaming you, but I'm too anxious. I received the call from Qin Yu two months ago.
A letter from a wise brother, highly recommending you to me, saying that you have great talents and are rare talents. You also joined our alliance and asked me to cooperate with you more to overthrow the decadent Manchu court. But I said
I shouldn't have said that, my dear brother, after you returned to Sichuan, you devoted yourself wholeheartedly to industry. This revolution still relies on guns and factories must develop, but as long as the revolution succeeds, everything will be easy.
I have heard that you invested millions of taels of silver in setting up a factory. You need to know how many guns and ammunition this money can buy. Since the several uprisings, how many of our brothers have failed because of lack of firearms. If you can use this money
If you devote yourself to the revolutionary cause, why worry about the Manchu Qing Dynasty being immortal!"….
When Qiao Yu heard Yang Shukan's words, his anger suddenly rose. What should I do if industry has become a mistake? Should I hand over all my property to you for revolution? Your kind of revolution is full of loopholes, which is what happened to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The incompetent imperial court would have died a long time ago, so it still wants to waste its own money. It is really unreasonable. Qiao Yu was dissatisfied, leaned on the chair, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Cangbai, saving the country through industry is
I am just following the trend of the times. Although the revolution is important, we cannot slack off in industrial development, otherwise the gap between us and the great powers will become wider and wider! In addition, if the revolution fails, why don’t I destroy the family to relieve the difficulties?
Is it wrong?"
Yang Shukan may have realized that his words were a bit excessive, so he softened his voice and said, "Brother Qiao Xian, I'm really busy these days. Please don't take it off. Mr. Sun sent me a secret letter not long ago. Let's
There will be an uprising in Guangzhou soon. I am short of money now, so I am raising money everywhere, but my income is limited. In addition, as long as your husband succeeds, we will coordinate and overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop. Please help me, dear brother!"
In fact, Yang Shukan has been paying attention to Qiao Yu's situation since he got to know him. Because of Qiao Yu's family background, plus the fact that he set up a factory as soon as he returned to Sichuan and got involved with the Constitutional Party, Yang Shukan felt that from the bottom of his heart,
He did not accept Qiao Yu, so he just kept observing and did not come to find him. But now that the Guangzhou uprising is imminent, Yang Shukan has limited power and has to take the risk to pull Qiao Yu over. Now, whether it is Limin Textile Factory or Sichuan Investment
The company has a huge influence. As long as Qiao Yu can help the Tongmenghui, there is no need to worry about whether the revolution will succeed!
Qiao Yu had guessed most of Yang Shukan's purpose at this time, so he said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, how can I help you?"
When Yang Shukan saw that Qiao Yu seemed to be very interested in helping, he was very happy. It seemed that this person was still interested in revolution: "Brother Qiao Xian, I hope you can provide 500,000 taels of silver. I will give Mr. Sun 300,000 taels."
, the rest will be reserved for the revolution in Sichuan, you can rest assured that as long as our revolution is successful, the money will be doubled back to the good brother, and the good brother will never suffer a loss!"
Whether the Huanghuagang Uprising could succeed, Qiao Yuxin said, does anyone know better than himself? If the Manchus and Qing Dynasties hadn't made stupid moves, launched the royal cabinet, and forcibly recovered the Sichuan-Hankou Road, the world would eventually be in chaos. Just pointing at these revolutionary parties would not know.
When will it succeed? Let’s just say that preparations for the current Guangzhou Uprising began last year. It has been more than four months now. The ten-way march planned at the beginning was changed to a four-way march. When it was finally launched, only
It can be said that Huang Xing's journey was a complete failure in terms of organization. The long preparation process has left the uprising with no secrets at all. It has long been noticed by the Manchu and Qing government. There is no chance of success. This is still said to be a careful plan by the Alliance.
Yes, you can imagine the level of the alliance.
Now Yang Shukan's red mouth and white teeth are like getting money from himself, which is a fool's dream. Qiao Yu calmly asked: "Mr. Yang, do you have any other requests?"
"Brother, your factory is prospering now and there are a lot of workers. I am going to arrange some revolutionary patriots in the factory and let them mobilize and organize the workers. When the time comes, we will launch together. In addition, we must be able to purchase some weapons from foreigners.
Better!"
Qiao Yu gently picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said slowly: "First of all, setting up a factory now requires a huge amount of funds. I have no money at all. There is still room for discussion between three and a half million taels. Three to five million taels is really a lot of money."
No. Secondly, the factory has put my heart and soul into it. Those so-called revolutionaries of yours are just gangsters with no skills. I will never let them sneak into my factory. Thirdly, I don’t think so.
Your revolution can be successful, so I can't buy weapons for you. Mr. Yang, if you have nothing to do, please do it yourself."
Yang Shukan was so angry that he was filled with rage. Thirty-fifty taels? Where are the flowers you sent to beg for food! The other two conditions were also rejected. At this time, when he looked at Qiao Yu's smiling face, he felt very special.
Anger, full of anger in the chest.
"Qiao, what do you mean, are you making fun of revolutionaries again? Do you want to betray the Alliance?"
"Mr. Yang, I haven't officially joined the Tongmenghui yet. How can I talk about betrayal? On the contrary, you are a rebel who is so wanton and rampant. Aren't you afraid of the king's law?"
The contract has been signed, please feel free to collect it.
