After Qu Benqiao and others returned, they also held some discussions.
Qu Benqiao said, "Five million taels of silver is absolutely unacceptable. At this time, we have 1.58 million taels in hand. After lowering the price, the rest donated public shares and raised private shares from all counties in the province." If you want to pay in advance, you must win the mineral rights."
Feng Jichuan was indignant, "I feel unwilling to take advantage of the British devils."
Liu Maoshang, who specializes in industry, was more indifferent. What Zhe Meisen said is not unreasonable. The original plan for mining rights was very big, so we can't take any chances. In my opinion, Zhe Meisen's price is only lower than this amount. Victory."
The three of them prepared for the next negotiation and went to collect the remaining money.
Baojin Company wanted to raise shares from all over the province. In the past few days, Qu Benqiao sent back many telegrams and contacted major newspapers in Shanxi.
As soon as the news came out, the common people and gentry actively participated.
After hearing about this incident, the Shanxi Association of Students Studying in Japan sent a call and an open letter, once again calling on Zhao Chuanxin to take action, with a somewhat questioning tone.
Because Zhao Chuanxin has not expressed his position so far.
Of course, Zhao Chuanxin did not know these things.
While in the capital, Cixi was furious, "How could Zhao Chuanxin be so unreasonable? The meddling common man really thought he could tell with one hand whether he had colluded with the rebellious party or not."
< p>No wonder she is suspicious.In the past, she did not take these rogue parties seriously at all, but in recent years, the development of the situation has made Cixi increasingly frightened. Sun Gongwu, who was originally unlucky, actually climbed several hills in Zhennanguan this time.
Zhao Chuanxin is even more of a hot potato. If the two of them join forces, the consequences will be disastrous.
Aixinjueluo Yikuang was old and said tremblingly, "Lord Buddha, please calm down. The commander of the Guangxi Patrol Battalion, Guo Renzhang, called, claiming that the casualties were not serious and that the incident had been settled. It was reported that Zhao Chuan's salary belt His apprentice traveled across the mountains and seas and occasionally passed through Qinzhou. He heard the villain slander that the rebel accomplices were common people, so he took action. It was just a misunderstanding."
Although this explanation did not make Cixi's suspicion go away, But the anger was temporarily suppressed, "What if the Portuguese send warships to Australia Island?"
Aixinjueluo Zaifeng, who has become the minister of military aircraft, said, "Lord Buddha, Portugal may not dare to send warships."
"Why"
"Like the Japanese, they were worried that Zhao Chuanxin would destroy their warships."
Cixi""
Aixinjue Luo Yikuang was very frightened of Zhao Chuanxin in his heart.
He took the opportunity to say, "Old Buddha, Zhao Chuanxin may be unruly, but he is also dedicated to defeating the great powers. For the sake of the overall situation, we must not allow him to do this again."
He said in his heart that he must never go to sea to catch documents again. Zhao Chuanxin was forced to jump over the wall in a hurry. He might actually get involved with Sun Gongwu, and then he would really become a serious problem.
Aixinjueluo Zaifeng and Aixinjueluo Yikuang secretly did not deal with them.
Why
Guangxu and Cixi are getting weaker and weaker, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
Cixi had already secretly wanted to make Puyi his heir, because Tongzhi and Guangxu were already brothers, and to establish Zaifeng again, the three generations would all belong to Kundi's inheritance, which was unprecedented in ancient times and was really inappropriate.
And Aisin Gioro Zaifeng will hold great power and become the regent.
Aixinjueluo Yikuang is currently on the same front as Yuan Datou. If Aixinjueluo Zaifeng takes over, the first thing he will do is to deal with Yuan Datou.
With Aisin Gioro Yikuang's approval, Aisin Gioro Zaifeng had to refute one or two things. He suggested in a seemingly harmless way, "Lafayette, why not ask the Minister of War, Tie Liang, to send A capable general will go to Australia to take charge of the overall situation."
Tie Liang was originally the Minister of Military and Aircraft, which is Aixinjueluo Zaifeng's current position.
But at this time, the position was given to Aixinjueluo Zaifeng, who is currently serving as Minister of War.
This is actually Cixi's plan. Cixi was a cunning and scheming person. She knew that once things were not harmonious, the Manchu and Han ministers had to maintain a balance, and the power could not be left to others. An iron-minded soldier could fight with Yuan. Big head to contend with.
So, the first, third, fifth and sixth towns among the six towns in Beiyang are currently under Tie Liang's control.
Tie Liang naturally sided with Aixinjueluo Zaifeng.
Cixi gave Aixinjue Luo Zaifeng a meaningful look, shook her head and said, "Just let Zhang Renjun decide what to do. This man has always been brave, and all matters concerning Guangdong and Guangxi will be decided by him."
Aixinjue Luo Zaifeng, who always knew how to hide his clumsiness, had no emotion on his face, as if he just said it casually and the result didn't matter.
Cixi was really relieved when she saw him.
Au Island.
The person Zhang Renjun sent was Li Zhun, the commander-in-chief of Nan'ao Town.
Li Zhun inquired that the person sent by Zhao Chuanxin to take charge of all matters on Ao Island was named Li Ziyu.
Although Li Ziyu is well-known within the police circles of Hong Kong Island, he is unknown in the mainland and Macao.
Li Zhun first asked several gentry from Ao Island to find out "How is the situation on Ao Island these days?"
"At first, there were many thieves taking advantage of the situation. Elder Li broke through eight in a row in one day." When a robbery case occurred, the thieves in Ao Island were so timid that they did not dare to act rashly. "
Li Zhun asked again, "Will order be restored?"
"Already. After the restoration, Elder Li threatened to drive away the Portuguese and exempted him from taxes for the first year. Merchants and industrialists flocked to him. He was well versed in Chinese and Western education, and he was able to manage civil affairs with ease. Regardless of Portuguese and Chinese, he could always govern the militia and summon Ao Island fairly. Magi, because they have different tasks and interests, there are many barriers and many constraints, Elder Li uses all his abilities to entrust everything that needs to be done on Ao Island, and everything is completely organized. The ability to draw and the simple procedures are evident in his talent."
Li Zhun took a breath.
Where did this talent come from?
Why have I never heard of it before?
It is really out of this world.There are people outside the sky.
He couldn't help but curiously asked, "How does it compare with the Portuguese Governor?"
The gentleman stroked his beard and smiled, "Elder Li is good at everything the Portuguese Governor can do. Elder Li What the Portuguese governor can do is far inferior. When it comes to investigating and solving crimes, Elder Li has a sharp eye; when it comes to managing civil affairs, Elder Li is omnipotent."
This is surprising.
This has nothing to do with the Qing court. In a short period of time, they took control of the people of Australia Island.
The people's will is what Li Zhun wants, and there is nothing he can do about it.
He asked "Where is Li Ziyu now?"
The gentry pointed to the west, "In the Governor's Mansion."
Li Zhun smiled bitterly, a dove occupies a magpie's nest.
He said goodbye to the gentry of Ao Island and went to the Governor's Mansion with his entourage. There were only a small number of people, and he was not worried about anything unexpected happening to Li Ziyu.
Li Ziyu was at work. When he heard that Zhang Renjun, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, had sent someone, he did not hesitate and hurriedly went out to greet him.
"Master Li, I'm Li Ziyu, we are from this family."
Li Zhun looked carefully and saw that Li Ziyu's hair was black and shiny, neatly combed back, and his eyes were bright. The suit is neat and elegant, the shirt is white, and he looks very smart and capable.
He cupped his hand, "Unexpectedly, there are tigers hidden in the mountains, and there are masters in the world. Elder Li really impressed me."
Li Ziyu smiled and introduced Li Zhun into the office. , which was the former office of Governor Rosada.
Li Ziyu asked bluntly, "Master Li is coming this time to defend Australia Island."
Such a straightforward answer is obviously the Western way of dealing with people.
Li Zhun was still a little uncomfortable, so he coughed dryly and said, "That's right."
Li Ziyu was careful and quickly ordered someone to "pour some tea for Mr. Li."
Then he said to Li Zhun, "Our leader explained before he left that it is understandable for the imperial court to send troops for defense, but only for military purposes. In addition, if you choose to garrison troops, you should shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the territory. Once the Portuguese counterattack, you must go into battle with guns." "What do you think, Mr. Li?"
Li Zhun hesitated.
If the Portuguese really fight back, the court will definitely give in and hand over Ao Island.
Li Ziyu smiled when he saw this, "The leader also said that if the imperial court is unable to do the job, our Macao island militia can also shoulder the responsibility of defending the territory, so there is no need for the imperial court to send troops. It is just a formality anyway. Wait for Portugal When people come, the court will use this to shirk responsibility and promise not to embarrass Lafayette."
The last sentence is somewhat ironic.
But what can Li Zhun say?
The fake foreign devil in front of him was summoned by Zhao Chuanxin himself, and Li Zhun did not dare to fall out.
But he still rebelled against an army. "How many people are there in the Australian islanders? The Portuguese are serious about retaliating. I am afraid that the warships will be like a forest and the flags will cover the sun."
"Our leader "The battleship will never come back," Li Ziyu knew. "Although the time is short, our Australian islanders have expanded to two thousand."The rest of us are carrying guns. If any Portuguese soldiers come ashore, we will follow them. At that time, even though I don't have the strength to restrain the chicken, I will definitely charge forward. The sect was in trouble. With an order, tens of thousands of people from the Xuantian Sect arrived on Ao Island in a few days. The man only died. ”
I Zhuo Li Zhun also heard about the Xuantian Sect, especially the battle between Ao Island and the Portuguese soldiers, which made the adjudication team famous, but Li Zhun did not expect that the Xuantian Sect already had tens of thousands of people. .
The so-called Ao Island People's Group is obviously more like the periphery of Xuantian Sect.
Imagine that Zhao Chuanxin can defeat Ao Island with a team of forty or fifty people. The entire Portuguese army was wiped out.
If Zhao Chuanxin had brought tens of thousands of people with him, it would be a big deal.
Of course, Li Ziyu was just bragging.
There are very few core members of Xuantian Sect, and the peripheral personnel are just a ragtag group.
Li Zhun clasped his fists, "I will definitely report this matter to Governor Zhang, and he will decide everything." "
Li Ziyu said, "In any case, Mr. Li does not need to rush back. We are just about to announce the bidding. Mr. Li might as well join in the fun and have a banquet hosted by the Governor's Mansion. ”
Li Zhun agreed after a little hesitation.
For no other reason, he was really curious about what the bidding was about.
In the past, gambling was banned in Guangdong, Guangdong and Macao. The gambling business on the island plummeted.
Later, he gradually turned a blind eye, and the gambling industry on the island became chaotic.
And Li Zhun. I heard that Li Ziyu wanted to give Ao Island businessmen a one-year tax exemption, so where would they get the money to run Ao Island?
When they arrived at the bidding site, Li Zhun understood that the bidding location was not there. Elsewhere, the event is taking place in Shushan.
All gambling shop owners from all over the island are here, and businessmen from other industries are also coming to join in the fun. The dividends in the gaming industry are really too attractive.
Only when he arrived at the scene did Li Zhun realize how high Li Ziyu’s prestige was in Ao Island at this time.
A group of gambling shop owners greeted him respectfully, “Elder Li. "
Li Ziyu's face was as bright as spring breeze. He could call everyone by name and respond to them one by one.
When they arrived at Lu Lianruo's place, Li Ziyu smiled particularly brightly, "Lian Ruo is here. "
Lu Lianruo knew that Li Ziyu was a capable person, and was flattered for a moment.
Li Ziyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sit down. ”
He came to the stage, pressed his hands, and the place fell into silence.
Li Zhun’s pupils shrank.
This man really has his wits about him.
This is definitely not just relying on Zhao Chuanxin's momentum to show off his power.
Li Ziyu stood in front of the loudspeaker and adjusted his clothes before speaking, "In the seventh year of Ming Zhengde, the Portuguese businessman Ou Weizhi came to China. Selling spices, I discovered this Feng Shui treasure land.
During the Jiajing period, the Portuguese bribed local officials to obtain the right to dock ships at the docks. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, the Portuguese began to take advantage of the situation and found excuses to stay ashore for a long time.
After the Opium War, PortugalThe Portuguese invaded Taipa and Coloane islands.
In the 13th year of Guangxu's reign, Portugal forced the imperial court to sign a treaty with them, forcing Portugal to permanently manage Macau.
The shameless and ugly face of the Portuguese is on full display.
However,
We, the people of Ao Island, are far more stubborn than the Qing court.
Faced with the Portuguese's strong ships, powerful cannons and fast guns, we people on the island are not afraid.
Amariu, the 79th Governor-General of Portugal in Australia, attempted to follow the British example and use force to force Emperor Daoguang into submission.
The Qing court was weak and kept giving in.
But we, the people of Australia Island, won’t do it.
A commoner named Shen Zhiliang, disguised as a merchant, blocked Amaliu's way, and killed the Portuguese admiral and the governor of Ao Island with just a sickle.
The Portuguese are frightened, but the people of Macao are excited.
But the good times did not last long.
Shen Zhiliang escaped the pursuit of the Portuguese, but he did not escape the Qing court. In the end, he was caught and handed over to the Portuguese.
No wonder foreigners always say that only the Chinese can govern the Chinese, and we understand that they fight among themselves behind closed doors.
When Li saw this period of history decades ago, his blood boiled and he was extremely angry."
Businessmen in this era are still very passionate.
Even though many of the people present have done shitty and dirty things, when they heard this story, their nostrils flared and they breathed heavily.
Yes, the Portuguese are domineering, but Australia is domineering. The people of the island have never given in.
Li Zhun looked on coldly and saw that Li Ziyu was eloquent, and his eloquence was really impressive.
He could not help but admire him.
Li Ziyu waved his fist, "However, Zhao Chuanxin, the leader of our Xuantian Sect, finally drove the Portuguese away in early 1908.
The Portuguese still dare not send warships to the front Come on, why?
According to the words of our leader Zhao Chuanxin, we hope that the Portuguese will not keep Zhao waiting for a long time, and hope that there will be more warships this time. Zhao’s sword is already hungry and thirsty."
I'm sorry, my last words directly set off the whole audience
