"Xiao Xiang, let's see where you are going. Okay, now that Xiao Xiang has spoken, I am not an unreasonable person, so forget it! Haha, you two, keep talking!"
Snail Dog was so frightened that he let out a sigh of relief. Looking at Xiang Xiaoqiang, he couldn't help but think that the world would recognize this young man and he really did not admit his mistake. This young man is capable and can speak on an equal footing with Mr. Hou.
It seems that the Tiandihui may really be revived.
Snail didn't dare to let Gou Shun talk nonsense anymore, and said first:
"Master Marquis, Director, Uncle Mingjian, those dozen brothers who came from the north are indeed capable of killing and fighting. The two brothers with beards who were hanging out in the north are good at shooting. That's all.
If you make twenty jingles in Germany, you can knock off the caps of wine bottles at ten paces, and hit apples at a hundred paces."
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the four pistols on the table and knew that they were "made in Germany", "box gun", "shell gun", "bastard box", "two boxes", "quick and slow" which were widely popular in China in the 1930s and 1940s.
"Machine", "Zilaide"...
The scientific name of this thing is "German 1932-style 7.63mm Mauser submachine pistol". Although the effective range is 150 meters, which is much more powerful than ordinary pistols, it is a pistol after all, not a rifle. If you can hit an apple from a hundred steps away, your marksmanship is quite good.
.
Zheng Gongyin said "Hey" and asked:
"You must have lost a lot of lives, right?"
"Master Hou..." Snail also chuckled, "Those are all matters on the Qinglu side, and they are all responsible for the lives of the Qinglu officers and soldiers. They were forced to do nothing. Otherwise, why?
There are no beards here in the Ming Dynasty, but there are so many on the Qinggu side? The Qinggu side is rotten from top to bottom. The law was changed in the year of 1898, and changes have come and gone. Although the army has become stronger, the people are still so miserable.
, there is no background, no backing, and the whole family hangs themselves if they want to do a small business. In that kind of world, if you don’t bully others, you have to be bullied. If you want to live a straight life, if you can’t become a high official, you have to kill seven people.
Kill eight and become a beard. In a word, they are all forced. In the Ming Dynasty, as long as you are willing to endure hardships and work hard, ordinary people can eventually build a big industry. This was the case hundreds of years ago. Now there is a constitutional government
, I feel like I’m right to come to Daming! Hehe, why don’t you tell me why people only run from the north to the south, but I haven’t heard of anyone running from the south to the north..."
Although what Snail said was basically true, these words that flattered the Ming Dynasty made Mr. Zheng feel very comfortable and smiled.
Jiang Meilu smiled and said:
"Mr. Xiang, you have also heard that this is the current public sentiment. We asked you to take the brothers of the Tiandihui to the north for political considerations. Now the branches of the Tiandihui in the north are also very active, and we are also
Often support them. Therefore, the banner of this action is not the Ming government, but the actions of the Tiandihui. As the general helmsman of the Tiandihui, the local Tiandihui organization will actively help you. I will teach you how to contact you later.
.When you complete your retreat, not to mention the local Tiandihui, even the common people will protect you. Haha, the Tiandihui in the north is different from us here, and its prestige is quite high in the hearts of the people."
When Snail and Gou Shun heard this, their faces turned red. Xiang Xiaoqiang also understood that the Tiandihui organization was spread all over China, and its headquarters was in Nanjing, which was recognized by the Ming Dynasty government. The Ming Dynasty government used the Tiandihui general headquarters as its signature
, to fund and control the various branches of activities in the Qing Dynasty. With the continuous funding from the Ming Dynasty, the branches of the Tiandihui in the north continued to fight against the Qing and restore the Ming Dynasty as before. The Tiandihui in the Ming Dynasty could not, although it was the general
Rudder is officially recognized as authentic, but he has been idle for a long time and has become like a gangster.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sneered in his heart, he said it very nicely, and he gave the same reasons. They were protected by the people and supported by local organizations. The core point: combat effectiveness, but it was not enough.
This was the result of the Ming royal family finding him and asking him to help them rescue them by force. In the end, these most basic conditions had to be fought for little by little, like bargaining and squeezing out toothpaste...
He said calmly:
"Among the fifteen members of the Tiandihui, how many of them are there who have been beards and are good with guns?"
The snail said calmly:
"two."
Xiang Xiaoqiang said:
"Okay, you two go out for a while, and I will have a few words with Mr. Marquis and the director."
Snail Yilin:
"Uncle, you..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled slightly:
"Get out, I won't leave you young lady behind."
…
After Snail Goushun went out, Xiang Xiaoqiang opened his hands directly to Zheng Gongyin and Jiang Meilu and rolled his eyes:
"Among the fifteen people, only two have ever shot a gun. I can't do that."
Jiang Meilu and Lord Zheng looked at each other and said warmly:
"Actually, you don't have to shoot. That night, didn't you just..."
"Yes, I did not fire a shot that night, and I saved people with just my mouth. But it relied not only on brains, but also luck. Now the Qing army was on guard and sent a whole army column, so
Give me these few people and let me rely solely on my brains. What should I do? If I can just rely on my brains, I don’t even need these people."
"Then you just watch Qiu Qiu being taken to Beijing and you will never see her again?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly:
"I just told them that I would not abandon their lady, and they believed it. Do you believe it?"
Zheng Gongyin couldn't listen anymore and snorted:
"Xiao Xiang, you can't say that. If we only rely on brute force, why should we look for you? Our Ming Dynasty has both Dongchang and commandos."
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:
"Master Hou, since I have to risk my life, let's be more open and honest. I know that I am not doing this for the government, but for the emperor. This matter is done, Your Majesty, Hou
Both the master and Dongchang are of great benefit... That's why the cabinet government does not support it and is unwilling to send the army to do it. We people there are used to discussing things as they happen. As far as this matter is concerned, it really should be done. I am also very concerned about it.
I am willing to do this for the Ming Dynasty."
Zheng Gongyin and Jiang Meilu's expressions changed slightly, and they looked at each other without speaking.
"But I'm used to doing something, and I have to succeed. Not only do I succeed, I also want to come back alive. I don't plan to blow up the railway, block the train, and shoot all the soldiers in the Qing Dynasty.
, regardless of whether we can save anyone, whether we can run back or not, as long as we anger the Qing emperor. No, I don’t want that to be the case... The emperor is so kind and doesn’t understand this, I think she doesn’t want that to be the case either.”
Zheng Gongyin sat in the chair, moved his butt twice inadvertently, moved his lips twice, and said nothing. Jiang Meilu pinched his gloves and coughed lightly. This was tantamount to directly telling them what they were thinking.
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled slightly and continued:
"Master Marquis, Director, you might as well think about it from another angle. What if this thing is really done? What if the twelve female soldiers are really rescued intact?"
Jiang Meilu stared at him suspiciously, and that look completely revealed that from the beginning, she did not believe that she could be saved. Zheng Gongyin pondered for a moment and said:
"Go on. So what if I'm really rescued?"
"Then you can imagine that something like this happened. Puppet Qing agents broke into the capital of Ming Dynasty in broad daylight and kidnapped twelve female submarine soldiers. If it was written in the newspaper, what would the people think? If the newspaper continued
Write: In order to maintain its own authority, the cabinet government insisted on not allowing the army to carry out rescue operations. It watched helplessly as these twelve female soldiers who worked hard for the Ming Dynasty were transported to the north by Qing Dynasty trains, and they were never seen again.
My family... if it were written like this in the newspaper, what would the people think?"
Zheng Gongyin raised an eyebrow and sat forward, obviously interested.
"Then the newspaper wrote that the emperor, who was greedy for power in the cabinet and refused to comply with the decree, spent his own money and dispatched his own landline to form a team and successfully rescued these female soldiers. What would they think?...
...The whole thing can be written as tortuous, thrilling, and full of twists and turns. The more it is written like this, the more interested and concerned the people will be. Then, they will see that the emperor's selfless spirit is in stark contrast to the cabinet's selfish greed.
Comparison... In this case, what will the people think of the cabinet? How will they think of the emperor?... The most important thing is that the army members were captured and the government was unwilling to rescue them, but the emperor spent his own money to rescue them. What will happen to the army?
What do you think of the government? What do you think of the emperor?"
After Xiang Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was already an advertising and publicity plan.
Jiang Meilu also seemed to be listening with great interest. It was obvious that she was thinking intensely in her mind. She smiled slightly and asked casually:
"Is this your usual method?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled, but did not answer, and then said:
"It can be said that as long as you do this thing, no matter whether you can save anyone or not, you may anger the Qing Dynasty and cause... ahem, something will happen. However, if you just do it and fail to save anyone, then the cannonballs will fly.
When they come over, the people and the army will think: The emperor is responsible for this disaster, and it makes sense for the cabinet not to save people. The emperor is selfish, and the cabinet is selfless. In this way, even if it is written in the constitution, when the time comes
You may encounter trouble or even accidents. On the other hand, after you have done this and saved people, the people and the army will feel that the emperor is justified and that he really wants to save people. The emperor is selfless.
, it is the cabinet that is selfish. Even if the cannonballs fly over by then, they will feel that it is because the Qing captives are angry and revenge is coming. It is not the emperor's fault, but the fault of the Qing captives. In this way, we should follow the constitution and show up when the time comes.
The possibility of trouble and accidents is much smaller... Well, think about it, is that so?"
After he finished speaking, the room was quiet for half a minute. Both of them were thinking intensely, their eyes flickering from time to time and looking at each other.
