"Please tell me." Wang Hengyue also smiled: "Brother Long, if something happens, there is no brother who will not help within the scope of his ability!"
"Master Wang is quick to talk to others, so brothers will no longer hide anything." Long Dengjie's expression became serious: "This time when Mingjian came back, he was entrusted by a friend to buy some guns."
Buying a gun? I'm afraid it's not a friend who asked me to buy it, but your brother wants to buy it himself, right? Wang Hengyue was silent there.
The arsenal in Cymbal Top claims to the outside world that it specializes in manufacturing mining machines. Most of the craftsmen inside are called from other places. In addition, the security is extremely strict. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. The craftsmen have also signed three-year contracts. The craftsmen's wages are extremely high, but
You are not allowed to leave the factory within three years.
But the calculation is like this. There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone the rich people in Rong County like the Long family who have lived for generations? You can always guess something vaguely.
Seeing that Wang Hengyue didn't speak, Long Dengjie and others just thought he refused. Just as they were about to continue persuading, Wang Hengyue suddenly asked: "How many do you want?"
Long Mingjian was overjoyed: "Fifty rifles and bullets!"
During several uprisings in Sichuan, the rebels used cold weapons and basically used pistols brought back from abroad. No matter in terms of range or firepower, they could not compare with the Qing army, so they also suffered enough from weapons.
After taking office as a member of parliament this time, while covering himself as a member of the parliament, he secretly contacted party members and prepared for another uprising. But weapons were a big problem.
It was his eldest brother Long Dengjie who told him that Wang Hengyue in Rong County might be able to obtain guns and ammunition, so Long Mingjian returned to Rong County in person to test it out.
Wang Hengyue had other general thoughts in his mind. His arsenal has been officially put into production, and a large number of "Rong Yi" rifles have been manufactured to equip his own weapons, but he has never sold a single one. Now that the revolutionary party has found him, it is actually for him.
The arsenal was opened.
In the future, when Rong County becomes independent, people like Long Mingjian and Wang Tianjie organize an army of 20,000 people in Rong County and surrounding towns. This is a huge market!
Although the situation is very different now that he is stationed in Rong County, he expects that thousands of guns can still be sold to the revolutionary party.
"Brother, there is no place to get a gun..." Wang Hengyue pretended to think for a while: "But since it is you, Brother Long, who has spoken, brother must find a way. Even if my own brother has no gun, he must first
Provided to you.”
How could they have imagined that things would go so smoothly? Long Mingjian and Wang Tianjie looked at each other with joy on their faces.
But Wang Hengyue wanted to do more business than that. He couldn't make much money with fifty guns. His thoughts went even further: "Brothers who sell their own guns to you will be charged with beheading. I want you to come here."
They all know it too."
Several people nodded frequently, this was the most dangerous thing. Wang Hengyue was willing to take such a risk, and Long Mingjian was naturally very grateful. How could he have imagined that Wang Hengyue's thoughts moved much faster than his brain.
Wang Hengyue said calmly: "Secondly, brother has sold fifty guns, so we have to replenish them. Otherwise, how can we defend Rong County? When brothers buy guns, they have to ask their superiors for approval. You also know this official rule, and you have to pay for it with money.
.Actually, this brother who sells guns has suffered a huge loss. If he hadn’t seen the face of Brother Kewu and Brother Long, he would never have done such a loss-making business!”
"What do you mean, Lord Wang?" Long Mingjian was a little confused.
Wang Hengyue smiled slightly and finally expressed his true thoughts: "In order to make up for the shortfall, my brother wants to open two more salt wells in Rong County."
Wang Tianjie didn't think anything about Longming Sword, but Long Dengjie was shocked. This was the idea that Mr. Wang was fighting about?
It was already an exception to ask Wang Hengyue to open two salt wells before. How can he open two more salt wells now?
"Master Wang, I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult to handle..."
As soon as Long Dengjie opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Wang Hengyue: "How dangerous is selling guns? Looking at the whole of Sichuan, except me, Wang Hengyue, who dares to sell guns to you? If Brother Long can agree, how many guns and bullets will Brother Xuemei need in the future?
, I will sell as many guns and bullets as you want! Not only that, I am also responsible for the transportation and ensuring that they are delivered safely to the designated location!"
Both Long Mingjian and Wang Tianjie couldn't help but be happy!
The most lacking thing for an uprising is weapons. Now that the leader of the Wang Gang has taken over everything, what will the Revolutionary Party have to worry about in the future?
"Brother!" Long Mingjian's voice rose unconsciously: "The leader of the Wang Gang risked beheading for us, are you still reluctant to part with two salt wells? We are willing to throw our lives and blood for our career, don't you
Are you still reluctant to part with two salt wells?"
Wang Hengyue sighed in his heart, Longming Jiankong was full of enthusiasm, but after all, he was still too restless, too young and too taken for granted.
In one sentence, his identity as a revolutionary party was exposed. If he was really a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was always testing them, how could they still survive now?
Besides, what does it mean to be reluctant to part with two salt wells? How many benefits are contained in these salt wells? In other words, Long Dengjie has money and no place to buy so many weapons. If not, how many guns can be exchanged for two salt wells?
His eldest brother and the Long family risked their lives to protect the salt well, but Master Long didn't take it seriously at all.
Even if I give you 10,000 guns now, will you be able to succeed in the uprising?
"Ming Jian, you don't know the situation." Long Dengjie was a little anxious, but he didn't know what to say.
"Brother!" Long Mingjian stood up, walked to his eldest brother, and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop": "My eldest brother has loved Mingjian since he was a child, and Mingjian has never asked you to do anything. This time, for the sake of
Our revolution, for our comrades who sacrificed their lives, brother, just help Mingjian once!"
Long Dengjie quickly helped his younger brother up. He remembered that when he was a child, he was very obedient to his younger brother, and he liked him the most. Now Mingjian was doing something stupid. No one knew when he would be caught by the government, so he only had
I have to rely on my big brother. Thinking of this, I let out a long sigh:
"Master Wang, please help Wang, I will give you two salt wells!"
This sentence almost came out of his mouth word by word, as if it was digging his heart out. Last time, I was able to get 20% of the shares of the two salt wells to make up for the loss, but this time it was all for nothing.
of!
Long Mingjian burst into laughter. How could he have thought of the fundamental interests of Yanjing? In his opinion, as long as there are guns, the revolution has the possibility of success!
Wang Hengyue was elated. The two salt wells meant free money, which meant he had more funds for development: "Brothers, I won't let you suffer. There are fifty rifles, each equipped with fifty rounds of ammunition. Wang Yiliang has two
I don’t need any money, I’ll give it all to you!”
Long Mingjian and Wang Tianjie couldn't help but feel that Wang Bangdai really sympathized with the revolution, almost like one of their own!
Long Dengjie could only smile bitterly. Compared to two salt wells, giving away fifty rifles for free was nothing!
