Chapter 17 I didn't expect it to be solved like this!
"Xiang Gong didn't recognize me, but Sihai knew Xiang Gong!" Liu Sihai said loudly: "When Xiang Gong held a lecture hall, Sihai was lucky enough to be able to listen. Xiang Gong was so impassioned at that time. He only said that if someone truly serves the country, he will make the country strong.
, even if I lose everything to help him, I will still do it! Why are you trying to shirk it today? Have you forgotten the oath you made back then?"
Zhao Xi looked greatly moved: "What Zhao Xi said will not be forgotten in ten or twenty years! But how can a small team officer take on the important task of saving the country? What a joke!"
"A joke?" Liu Sihai said with emotion: "Back then, Li Hefei was just a failure, but later he became a pillar of the imperial court! Yuan Weiting, known as 'Bookworm', now leads an elite division. Now my Lord Wang has returned from the West, determined to inspire the country.
How strong your heart is! How can Duke Xiang decide that it can't be accomplished?"
Comparing Wang Hengyue with Li Hongzhang and Yuan Shikai is a bit far-fetched. Besides, Li Hongzhang and Yuan Shikai's foundation back then was much stronger than Wang Hengyue's.
But at this moment Liu Sihai suddenly brought out these two people, and his voice was so loud that Zhao Xi was speechless for a moment.
Pete was not to be outdone: "I, a foreign devil from the United States, also believe in Mr. Wang, and Washington also became the president of the United States step by step!"
Wang Hengyue sneered again and again: "Zhenxing, Peter, why bother begging him! Do you really think that without him, Zhao Xi, in Rong County, I won't be able to accomplish anything?"
As he said that, he took out the Black Star he carried with him: "When I rescued Qin Guangcheng, I faced a group of bandits. I killed Lu Baogen of Jinyanhu with two guns and fled. Don't rely on others for help! Zhao Xi, just watch.
!”
Wang Hengyue was also so bold that he took the black star and fired a "bang" shot at the roof of the house.
No one was prepared for this, and there was a loud noise, which scared everyone. The Zhao family members and servants all gathered around the door to peek, wondering what happened.
Wang Hengyue was originally prepared to break up with Zhao Xi, and he was also prepared for Zhao Xi to be furious. The great thing was that he had to pay a few taels of silver.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Xi stared at the roof for a while, and then his eyes fell on the gun in Wang Hengyue's hand. After a long while, he muttered: "What, what is this? Zhao Xi was an official in Beijing and had seen drills.
Foreign guns, but, I have never seen one with such power and sound, almost like thunder..."
Pete came from the United States and had never seen a black gun before, so he was equally puzzled.
In fact, Wang Hengyue was heartbroken at this time. In order to save Qin Guangcheng that day, he only had three bullets left. Now because of one breath, another bullet was wasted.
At that moment, he bit the bullet and said: "This is the latest weapon I brought back from the United States, the Black Star pistol. It is so powerful that you can't imagine! There are also two hundred such guns, which can be delivered within half a year!"
"
"God, this is enough to arm an army." Peter crossed himself on his chest and believed it.
Zhao Xi was also shocked: "Two hundred branches?"
"Two hundred branches, just a lot more!" Wang Hengyue said bravely: "You, Mr. Zhao, are pushing back and forth. Are all people like you, Mr. Zhao? There are many people overseas who share the country's worries!"
As he said this, he cupped his hands and said, "Farewell!"
"Wait, wait!" Zhao Xi didn't want to, but said at once: "Master Wang, please sit down for a while, Zhao Xi still has something to say."
When Wang Hengyue sat down again, Zhao Xi sighed and said: "Master Wang, don't blame me. In the past, there were people who wanted to organize the new army and purchase foreign weapons. Zhao Xi always helped him, but he didn't expect that later, those
They just wanted to take advantage of Zhao Xi's small fame. Zhao Xi thought that Lord Wang was an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that Lord Wang really wanted to train soldiers..."
When Wang Hengyue heard this, it seemed like there was something interesting. Could it be that he lost his temper when Zhao Xi refused to beg for help, but Zhao Xi figured it out instead?
Zhao Xi suddenly slapped the table: "Master Wang, Zhao Xi is willing to help you!"
Wang Hengyue was surprised at first, and then overjoyed. Before he could speak, Zhao Xi had already said: "Come here, call me Zishan, Wenhou and Ximo."
After a while, three young people came into the hall. Two of them called "Teacher" and the youngest one behind them called "Uncle."
Zhao Xi pointed at the two people who called him "teachers" and said: "These are my two proud disciples. The eldest is Li Yifeng, whose surname is Zishan, and the younger one is Xu Mu, whose surname is Wenhou."
Wang Hengyue bowed his hands and heard Zhao Xi say: "The country is withering, the court is decadent, and the great powers are doing evil. Although Zhao Xi is not full of knowledge, he has been studying knowledge for half his life. But now, he is useless as a scholar and only writes articles.
No matter how good you are, you can't save the country. Therefore, I asked these two disciples to abandon literature and practice martial arts, specialize in the military of various countries, and achieve some success. Zishan, Marquis Wen."
"The disciple is here."
"This is the new Captain Wang. He has returned from the United States and was ordered to train the new army here. You two have been with me since you were young. In this situation, I can't teach you anything anymore. Let's go with Captain Wang."
When you go to the new army, you should not be lazy every day."
"is teacher!"
Zhao Xi pointed at the youngest one again: "This is my biological nephew, Deng Xia. His cousin name is Ximo. He has been smart since he was a child. Although he is only seventeen years old this year, he can be of great use. Please stay with me, Mr. Wang."
!”
Wang Hengyue was overjoyed. Zhao Xi's approach was too obvious. He arranged for his students and nephews to join the new army. This was better than any kind of publicity!
When I heard that Deng Xia was about the same age as me, I felt a sense of intimacy in my heart.
"Deng Xia has met Lord Wang." Deng Xia took a step forward and said.
"I've seen it, I've seen it." Wang Hengyue bowed his hands to the three of them again: "Hengyue came to Rong County for the first time and was born in a sparse place. With the help of all of you, I think it will be much easier to do things in the future. Let me think carefully about how to arrange you.
Mr. Xiang, I have offended you a lot, please forgive me."
"There is no place to offend." Two of his disciples and a nephew joined the new army. Zhao Xi was very proud: "Although Mr. Wang's actions are shocking to the world, Zhao Xi sees all of them with his heart to serve the country. With Wang
With people like you here, the new army will definitely be trained, so even if my house is demolished, it doesn't matter!"
Peter said quickly: "Very good, Mr. Wang, you have another helper. Soon, you will be the commander-in-chief. By that time, even your Majesty the Emperor will listen to you."
"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Hengyue was startled. If these words got out, he would be afraid that the new army would not be fully trained, and his head would be moved immediately, which would be a big deal.
"Foreigners really can't speak, that's why." Zhao Xi didn't care too much. In his eyes, foreigners are uncivilized: "Master Wang hasn't paid a visit to the county magistrate yet, has he? Zhao Xi can
