C179 Both sides prepare for war (1/2)
In the huge wooden warehouse, two hundred small bald warriors stood straight up like bean curd, each holding onto a Gun's shiny bayonet with their hands, shining with a cold light. These young lad dressed in the military uniform at the time had their heads raised high, their eyes filled with worship, while Xiao Letian stood on top of a big wooden chest and passionately encouraged them.
”You probably haven't forgotten that the ferocious Japanese thugs in the Naha Harbor massacred us Chinese, stole our property, and insulted our women. At that time, our ten small formations in the city were just like lonely boats in a storm, weak and powerless …”
”Fortunately, we made it through. When we faced an enemy that was several times stronger than us, we didn't retreat. We went against the current and smashed all the rocks into pieces … In the end, we won! ”
”And now, I have to regretfully tell everyone, we are once again trapped in a heavy encirclement. Without any reinforcements, a company will have to resist the onslaught of enemies ten or twenty times stronger than us, I, Xiao Letian, am sorry for you!”
”Sorry, my good lads... You are going to war again! ”
This is not sorry at all, this is Xiao Letian's declaration of war. These two hundred young men were on the verge of going crazy. They subconsciously wanted to shout ”Long live the young man”, but the result was that all the officers suppressed their voices.
”Quiet, everyone shut up, aren't you afraid of attracting enemies? Have you forgotten about your training? Later on, one person will be punished with fifty push-ups! ” Saying that, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun, the two glorious Company Commander, walked over to Xiao Letian in big strides.
”Rest assured, my lord. From today onwards, our two nails will be firmly nailed to the ground of the Qing Dynasty. So what if our nails are twenty times stronger?” A hundred times? ”Brothers, break everything up for you …”
”Good job!” ”Be prepared, it will be up to you guys tomorrow!”
When Fan Lian saw this, he gave up on trying to persuade Xiao Letian. With this posture, Xiao Letian would probably not even take half a step back. Tanggu was about to bleed again.
”Mr. Xiao, my brother came to find me again just now. His words contained a hint of danger, tomorrow's banquet must be a Hongmen Banquet, you have to think twice, if not we won't go … …”
After all, Fan Lian had never seen the scene of the Tyrant Blood Battlefield, and his mind was still as cautious as a merchant's. Whenever he came into contact with an official, he would immediately think of retreating.
Xiao Letian did not want to retreat, but when he realized that those shameless beasts would poison his own woman, he became extremely angry, as he understood the true nature of society. Eating human beings was not limited to the ruling class, and the parasites that had already been enslaved and their thoughts twisted were even more so the vanguard of eating human beings.
Xiao Letian was confident that he could settle the matters in the Manchu dynasty Hall, because from history, he had already analyzed what Ci Xi, the Ceng Guofan brothers, Weng Tonghe and the others wanted, and because he knew them, he could target them.
However, the turtle tortoise below these sharks was really annoying. These huge interest groups made up of corrupt officials, bullies, and black and white people were very stubborn and perverted. Jiao Si'er, Sun Sanhu, Huang Liu, including the dead High Scholar Huang, Ma Bao and the rest, all kinds of ordinary people were there. These people, who never leave their names in history books, affect the course of a society.
”Manager Fan, you don't understand, you really don't understand. It could be said that people were not so much afraid of tigers as they were afraid of fangs and claws. For those powerful figures in the imperial court, even if they wanted to eat humans, they would have to spread out a snow-white napkin and place clean tableware on top. At the very least, they would have to have some face. ”
”But these claws and fangs are different. They don't want face. They pounce on the bodies of the commoners, tear their way through your throat, drink your blood, and at the end, spit on your corpse. This is the saying, ”The King of Hell likes to see little ghosts and is hard to deal with. Do you know that if it wasn't for you making a mistake, your daughter Hu Niu would have been killed …”
When he talked about Hu Niu, old shopkeeper's eyes turned cloudy. He was so angry that his chest expanded and contracted violently. Alright, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Just do your best, this old man I have no other skills. Let me see how much money I can gather for you.
Fan Lian was right, he couldn't change whatever this Young Master wanted to do. In any case, he had to be right. The only support he could provide was to earn money.
There were already ten silver furnaces on the Taibai Top, six silver furnaces hidden outside their mouths, each month there were more than a million of them. Not only that, Fan Lian was now extremely interested in the business of the bank, and needed to borrow money with all his might. In any case, the business circles of the Tanggu had already been conquered, and with the fear of the Gun guards, who would dare not to return the money?
In the current Letian Firm, physical trade was just a sham, it was all just for the Qing Dynasty to see. And all the trades and trades that the private Letian Firm did, were all crimes of decapitation, this foreign bank actually already had the prototype of a national central bank.
Putting everything aside, just the right to forge coins is already an eternal gold mine.
