"Mr. Qiao, aren't you scared when the old man sees such secrets?"
When Qiao Yu heard him say that he had thoughts of rebellion, there was no expression on his face at all, as if there was no such thing, which made Shi Shuban feel a little unnatural.
"Book Office Shi, with my current status, would I be afraid of you snitching on you? Even if you were snitching, who would believe you?"
When Secretary Shi heard this, his head suddenly shook and he woke up. What kind of identity was Qiao Yu? His family was very prominent in Sichuan. His father was a high-ranking official and he was the leader of the Chongqing business community. Whether it was the Qing government or the local Constitutional Party, he
How could he move to the other party with just a little clerk and a little guesswork? It seemed that he had lived so old in vain and could not gain any momentum advantage in front of this young man.
"Mr. Qiao, I have a past story that I want to tell you. My surname is Shi, and my name is Shi Dingzhong. I am fifty-three years old this year! Sir, you can guess some!"
Qiao Yuqi didn't feel anything when he heard the name, but when he thought about his age and name, something suddenly came to his mind. He stood up suddenly, pointed at the little old man in front of him, and said in disbelief:
"You, you are a descendant of Shi Dakai, the Winged King of Heaven? Didn't I say that you died by the Dadu River? Don't you be kidding me?"
Although Qiao Yu has met many historical figures, he is still very interested in the secrets of the past few decades. There are many debates about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, but no matter which faction he is from, it seems that Yi Wang Shi Da Kai
They all hold an admiring view. His Royal Highness, King Yi, became famous at a young age. He was clean and self-sufficient, and he used soldiers like a god. In the end, he unfortunately died in the hands of the Qing army. He fully conformed to all the characteristics of a tragic hero. Mentioning Shi Dakai always makes people unable to stop.
Sorry, is this skinny little old man in front of me his descendant?
"Mr. Qiao, my father had to surrender to the Qing army for the lives of his brothers. However, my father also knew that he would not escape with his life. It happened that one of my father's guards found a child about my age and asked him to replace me. Finally,
I was suffocated to death by the Qing army with lime, and I was protected by several loyal father's guards and left the dangerous place. I was only five years old at that time. Now that I think about it, I can't even remember what my father looked like. I have survived to this day. If my father saw
His child is so incompetent that he will probably stamp his feet and beat his chest!"
Qiao Yu listened with great interest to Shi Dingzhong's story about that year. After he finished speaking, he asked with a smile: "Shi Secretary Office, if you tell me such secrets, aren't you afraid that I will report it to the Qing court?"
"Mr. Qiao, I know you are a person who does great things, but I am a useless person. If I don't tell you some things, I may never be able to do anything!"
"It's no use? Why do I remember that in the past few decades, there have been people who have rebelled under the banner of King Yi? Isn't it you who did it?"
Shi Dingzhong smiled bitterly, then shook his head: "How could it be me? I don't have that much ability. My uncles are all experienced in many battles. They are all covered with injuries. They have long been tired of fighting on the battlefield.
With me, I just wanted to live a normal life, marry a wife, have children, and spend the rest of my life. Most of those who rebelled were from the White Lotus Sect. If they have anything to do with me, it's because they borrowed my father's name!
"
"Then you came to me today not just to tell me a story? Do you want me to help you take revenge and overthrow the Qing court?"
"Mr. Qiao, I hate the Qing government, but I have seen over the years that the Qing Dynasty is about to come to an end. Now that the revolutionary party is making such a big fuss, there are no capable ministers and officials in the local area, and people's mentality has changed, the Qing Dynasty
It's just a storm, it won't last long. Being able to see the end of the Qing Dynasty is enough to comfort my father and uncles who are under the Nine Springs. I am not young anymore, but the little old man has understood a lot of things over the years.
, The rise and fall of dynasties has been extremely cruel since ancient times, and the Qing court's reversal will not be much better. My uncles later also married and had children. Now all the uncles have passed away, and so have the children of each family.
When I grow up, my son is named Shi Yi. He has just graduated from the accelerated school. I also have two children, one named Su Ding and one named Yu Jianxiong. They both graduated from the accelerated school together. I know what you are doing.
As a person of great importance, I want to entrust these children to you!"….
When Qiao Yu heard that Shi Dingzhong recommended talents from three military academies to him, he couldn't help but be moved. The Sichuan Army Crash Course has graduated many famous figures, such as Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, etc., who will also be the main force in the Sichuan warlords' melee in the future.
People are still very capable.
I am very lacking in military talents now, so I rely on Han Yong and others to train patrol police. However, after all, Han Yong came from the old army and has limited ability to accept some new things. Training patrol police is okay, but if I count on him
After training a strong army, it is not enough. Sometimes Qiao Yu has to go into battle himself. However, after all, Qiao Yu has too many things, and the team will expand in the future. He cannot be limited to the current situation, but he is only externally speaking.
A businessman really can't recruit military school students.
Now that the Qing government is preparing to build a new army, all those who graduate from military academies are put into special positions. If it hadn't been for the early years of the Republic of China, there wouldn't have been so many young governor generals. Therefore, the students in those military academies are very energetic. How can they go to a serious army?
, why is there a patrol team? In addition, Qiao Yu was afraid of people's gossip, so he did not actively recruit. However, when Shi Dingzhong said this, Qiao Yu immediately felt that he should recruit some students from regular military schools. With these people as his
Only then can we form a regular army.
"Shi Shuban, your son and several others, as long as they have the ability, I will never treat them badly. Although they cannot join the regular army for the time being, I believe that will change soon. They will definitely have a bright future, and you can rest assured!
"
"Mr. Qiao, when you said things will change soon, do you mean there will be changes in the world?"
"Bookstore Secretary Shi, I want to ask you a question. Didn't the princes of the Kingdom of Heaven know that internal strife would seriously damage their strength and even bring about destruction? Then why did you say that in the end, a swordfight was inevitable?
"
When Shi Dingzhong heard Qiao Yu mention the old events of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he couldn't help showing a painful expression on his face.
"I have also thought about it for a long time. It's just the word power. No one can let go of their power, and everyone wants to expand their power. As the saying goes, people see benefits but not harm, and fish see food but not hooks. In the end, there is no way out.
!”
Shi Dingzhong is also a smart man. After thinking about it for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Mr. Qiao is talking about the current situation in the Qing Dynasty. The Constitutional Party is eager to gain power through constitutionalism, while the Manchu nobles are clinging to power.
, both sides will not back down, both sides will definitely fall out, and the foundation of the world lies in the hands of the gentry. Once these people no longer support the Qing Dynasty, the country and the country will be completely over!"
Qiao Yu listened with a smile. Not to mention Shi Dingzhong's son, he said that the skinny old man in front of him was not simple. He was definitely not a simple person who could see through the political situation in front of him. Shi Dingzhong's thinking suddenly opened up and he seemed very special.
Excited: "Mr. Qiao, I have observed that you have different ambitions, but I have always wondered why you keep falling out with your revolutionary brother. Now I think about it. It turns out that you have long seen that the most powerful people in the world are these wealthy businessmen.
The gentry, only by winning them over can they be able to compete for the world, and those sects are just a ragtag group of people, and they can't accomplish anything at all!"
"That's right, that's wrong. The gentry all have some property. They won't take risks unless they have to. Therefore, we still have to count on those revolutionary parties to fire the first shot, and then the gentry will take action. Otherwise, they won't
moveable!"
"The little old man has long seen that Mr. Qiao is a man who does big things. After today's conversation, I realized that Mr. Qiao is far-sighted and insightful. I will immediately fix the book for him and ask him to come to Chongqing to take orders. Also please
You can take care of me!"
"Shi Shuban, you are not a simple person. I happen to be short of a clerk here. I wonder if you are willing to help!"
"As long as you don't think I'm old and useless, Master, I'm willing. In addition, I want to tell you something, that is, my father once hid a treasure!"
