Right now, Rong County is raging with wars going on everywhere, but such an old foreigner actually came in so arrogantly. Not only did he enter Rong County, he also brought a batch of weapons to Wang Hengyue!
I have become a rebel, and the foreign devils actually send me weapons? Wang Hengyue is a little confused.
Wang, my dear friend, I knew you would rebel, and you were right. Kleiman seemed to be very proud of his judgment: Very good, this battle was fought well, I support you.
Wang Hengyue couldn't help laughing: Lao Ke, do you want to do business with me?
Wang, you are a smart man, and I like to do business with smart people. Kleiman did not hide it at all: Once this war is fought, we will have a lot of money, and Governor Zhao has ordered a batch of weapons from us, so I am asking you now,
We must persevere. These weapons are just a little bit of my heart.
, What a profiteer. Wang Hengyue couldn't help but cursed.
Wang, my friend Lehman didn't care at all. Instead, he looked a little sad: I'm about to go back to China. It may take a year or two before I can come back.
Wang Hengyue had not thought of this and could not help but be startled.
Is Kleiman going back to the United States? I still have many things for this man to do. Besides, I have a pretty good relationship with this old American man, so I really feel reluctant to leave.
Kleiman cheered up: After I leave, my assistant John will take over my job. You have seen him before, and he will do business with you just like me.
Wang Hengyue nodded: Why did he go back suddenly?
My wife is seriously ill, and I need to go back and accompany her through the last journey of her life. She is everything to me. Kleiman looked gloomy. After speaking, he cheered up: Wang, is there anything else you need my help with?
?
Wang Hengyue thought about it for a while, picked up the pen and wrote for a long time, and then handed it to Clayman: Lao Ke, after you return to the United States, if it is convenient, help me purchase these things. John and I will settle the money together.
, Of course, the premise is that Rong County has not been broken before these things are transported, and my head is still in my body.
You will be fine, Wang, I believe it. Kleiman accepted the note and said very seriously.
After chatting for a while, Wang Hengyue asked casually: Do you want to go back to the United States directly?
No, I still have to go to Guangzhou to collect some payments.
Oh, Wang Hengyue, oh, just said the word, something suddenly occurred to him, and he cursed himself all over in his stomach. Why didn't he think of this person earlier? He quickly said: Lao Ke, go to Guangzhou and help me find someone. No matter what, you have to help me find this person.
Get it.
Looking for someone? Kleiman doesn’t quite understand.
Yes. Wang Hengyue nodded vigorously: This person is from Guangdong, but I don’t know where exactly. But this person is very famous in the United States. He returned to Guangdong at the beginning of the year, and he also brought several assistants and
Returning to China with two planes
Emperor, is the person you are talking about Mr. Feng Ru? Kleiman let out a low exclamation.
Feng Ru, a native of Enping, Guangdong, is well-known in the United States. In 1903, when he learned that the American Wright brothers had invented the airplane, Feng Ru was determined to rely on the strength of the Chinese to manufacture airplanes. He received sponsorship from local overseas Chinese, and
In 1907, an aircraft manufacturing plant was established in Oakland, east of San Francisco. In 1909, the Guangdong Aircraft Company was formally established, with Feng Ru serving as chief engineer. The company began manufacturing aircraft that year.
In July 1910, Feng Ru built a second aircraft based on the Curtiss Golden Arrow and the Wright Brothers' Flyer 1. From October to December, Feng Ru flew it in a flight show in Auckland with great success.
In February 1911, Feng Ru declined various offers from the United States and returned to China with his assistants and two airplanes.
It was Feng Ru. Wang Hengyue looked a little solemn: Lao Ke, I have never asked you for anything. This time, I am begging you. Try your best to get this person for me no matter what method you use.
Kleiman thought there for a while: K, Wang, this time I return to the United States, maybe I can come back in a year or two, maybe I won’t come back. Although we are business partners, we have fought together and are friends.
Yes, I will help you with this.
Wang Hengyue was overjoyed:
Lao Ke, I also tell you that you have to kidnap this person for me. I will give you a three thousand tael banknote later. If he is willing to come, you can use it as travel expenses.
Wang Hengyue thought about it for a while but still felt uneasy. He took another piece of paper and drew on it for a long time. He drew a pattern. Although it didn't look like much, it was still acceptable. He handed it to Clayman:
If you can find Feng Ru, give him this thing, and tell him that I have the ability to help him design such an airplane!
Kleiman stared at the drawing for a long time and asked doubtfully: Is this an airplane?
Plane, plane! Wang Hengyue was sure that he was honest, but he felt very ashamed in his heart.
An airplane like the one I drew would not be invented for another few decades. But no matter what, I think Feng Ru would be very surprised and curious when he saw it. Considering Feng Ru’s character, he might even come voluntarily.
Kleiman had just moved forward, and the black iron behind him sent Wang Hengyue's father-in-law and his family.
How many dangers were encountered on the road, how many brothers were sacrificed, Heitie didn't say a word, he just said lightly: Hengshuai, my subordinates will retire first.
Wang Hengyue had a headache. He rebelled and caused his father-in-law and his family to flee. As a son-in-law, it was unjustifiable, so he directly asked the Ma family to be sent to his home first, and then went to see his father-in-law when the front line was a little calmer.
Soon, news came from the direction of Leshan. After Wu Qianlong defeated the Qing army, he concentrated all his troops and marched towards Leshan. Leshan was empty and there were not many defensive forces, so the attack would be effortless.
Wang Hengyue was overjoyed that Leshan was about to be acquired, which allowed him to expand his territory. Especially in Rong County and Leshan, they were connected in a line and echoed each other. He no longer had to worry so much about the Qing army in front of him.
What makes me most proud is that due to the indiscriminate command of Chief Wu, the civilian army suffered heavy casualties, which made those party members who had always obeyed the party's words also begin to have doubts about the Tongmenghui.
When Hengshuai was commanding, although the battle was very difficult, he always kept the position firmly in his hands. However, when some party came, it caused such heavy casualties to the brothers in the party.
Many soldiers and civilians have already expressed some complaints against the party, and are willing to accept Wang Hengyue's command and then go to fight with the Qing army.
Wang Hengyue did not immediately express his position.
Sooner or later, the people's army will be in their own hands. Don't rush, just wait patiently for a while!
There is also some news that I don't know whether it is good or bad. Ever since the civilian army rushed to attack and suffered heavy casualties, Long Mingjian vomited blood and his health has been getting worse day by day.
He was already suffering from a serious illness, and when he was severely stimulated at this time, he suddenly collapsed.
When Wang Hengyue went to see him, Long Dengjie and Wang Tianjie were both there, but Long Mingjian was lying on the bed, unable to get up.
Brother Xuemei. Wang Hengyue came to Long Mingjian's side in a few steps: Brother Xuemei, hold on no matter what, I have already hired the best doctor for you.
Commander-in-Chief, no need, no need. Long Mingjian said weakly: How is the situation outside?
Wang Hengyue sat down next to him: Everything is fine. Several attacks by the Qing army were repelled by us. I also sent a team to surprise Leshan. Leshan is now ours!
Long Mingjian's pale face showed some blush under the stimulation of this good news: Commander-in-chief, you command, the troops must be commanded by you, no one else can, no one can, only you.
Seeing his beloved brother like this, Long Dengjie almost shed tears: Hengshuai, Mingjian has been talking about the front line these past two days, he, I
Long Dengjie couldn't say a word. Long Mingjian smiled slightly and said: Brother, it doesn't matter. I have been prepared for this since the day I dedicated myself. It's a pity that I can't die on the battlefield.
Wang Hengyue also had some regrets.
Although Long Mingjian is a bit naive and impulsive, he is full of enthusiasm, upright, and will sacrifice everything for his career!
If such a young man can be given some more time, he may achieve great success in the future.
Long Mingjian cheered up: Commander-in-chief, although I am the commander-in-chief, I am very ashamed that I have done nothing. I am not worthy of being the commander-in-chief.
Brother Xuemei, wait until you feel better before you talk about this. Wang Hengyue comforted him.
No, I want to say it. If I don’t say it, there will be no chance. Long Mingjian looked very stubborn and waved Wang Tianjie to come to him:
Tianjie, Rong County can live without me, Longming Sword, but it can’t live without the Commander-in-Chief! After my death, according to what we discussed before, the Rong County Government will be established, and the Commander-in-Chief will continue to command Rong County’s operations. All comrades in our party must obey the Commander-in-Chief.
If you command, cut it, cut it, cut it
Wang Hengyue held Long Mingjian's hand: Brother Xuemei, don't rush to say these words now. When you are well, you will lead this government.
No, no! Long Mingjian said urgently, coughing loudly for a while. "Commander-in-Chief, don't refuse anymore. No one can take on the position of leading the government except you."
Commander-in-chief! Wang Tianjie also said loudly: Should Wu Yuzhang be allowed to continue to come back to take command?
Wang Hengyue sighed and said:
In this case, Wang Hengyue did not refuse and reluctantly accepted the offer, but I agreed that when Brother Xuemei recovers from his illness, he must relinquish this position to Brother Xuemei.
Long Dengjie also stood up and said loudly:
Commander-in-Chief, all my brothers are willing to obey the Commander-in-Chief’s command!
