At present, with the exception of Jiangsu, all localities are still under wartime military control.Wang Shijie's military government was located in the former government of Taiyuan Prefecture, and after he occupied Shanxi, he imitated the new policy of Suzhou to reform all aspects of Taiyuan Prefecture.He really has some talent for Shanxi people to do business, although all measures are not as good as Suzhou, but they still make the inland provinces that have been suppressed for thousands of years gain vitality.Shanxi was originally known for its merchants, but now with the strong support of Wang Shijie, all kinds of commercial development are naturally very active, and even Jinshang Bank and Huaxing Bank have opened branches here.As soon as Ma Xun entered the guest hall, all the guests stood up to greet each other.All of the people present are rich businessmen and celebrities from Taiyuan Mansion, and even Qiao Zhiqing's nephew Qiao Yaoguang is here to accompany him.He is now the director of Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant, and when Ma Xun left office, he really let him take his place."
Brother Ma, you are here."
Wang Shijie saw Ma Xun and took the lead in getting up and saluting, his face full of joy."
Brother Wang, long time no see."
Ma Xun also happily stepped forward and hugged him, and sat down at the banquet.All the guests also sat down one after another, began to eat, and came over to toast Ma Xun.After a lap, Ma Xun hurriedly stopped everyone and let everyone drink freely.No matter how much you can drink, you can't stand so many people toasting."
Uncle Ma, my third uncle is okay I heard that he has been founded in Nanjing, I have always wanted to go and see it, but I am too busy with work."
After Ma Xun sat down, Qiao Yaoguang was toasted before he picked it up."
Your third uncle is very good, you work hard in Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant, there is always a chance to be transferred to Nanjing."
Ma Xun encouraged him, looking forward to this young offspring."
Brother Ma, our brothers are not outsiders.I also know the purpose of your recruitment this time, what do you mean by saying that Qiao Dashuai recruited so many Qing court generals" Wang Shijie asked with his eyebrows, very puzzled by what Qiao Zhiqing meant.If the new army is organized and trained, the division commanders and brigade commanders in the Huaxing Army can be promoted and appointed, but the generals of the Qing court are allowed to take up such important military affairs."
Brother Wang, I can't hide it.I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, and I think Qiao Dashuai should have two meanings.First, the proportion of Taiping generals in our Huaxing Army is too large.Except for you and your uncle, almost all of them have a lot to do with the Taiping Army.Qiao Dashuai should have wanted to expand the power of the imperial court generals to prevent the Taiping generals from dominating.Second, he also wanted to pacify China as soon as possible, and since ancient times, anyone who has achieved great things, if he can't accommodate the enemy, then he is the enemy of the whole world. ”Ma Xun explained to Wang Shijie softly, his face full of wisdom.It's no wonder that he is reused by Qiao Zhiqing, although he doesn't know what Qiao Zhiqing is thinking, but he can guess the meaning of each order he makes."
Brother Ma is really insightful, and the younger brother admires it."
Wang Shijie raised his glass and drank a glass with Ma Xun.After the banquet, Ma Xun and Wang Shijie chatted all night in the bedroom.After dawn, Ma Xun, at the invitation of Qiao Yaozu, visited the construction of Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant.Now the third phase of the project has started, and the refining of various special customized steel products has reached thousands of tons every day.Ma Xun praised Qiao Yaoguang excitedly, and returned to Pingyang Mansion after lunch in the factory.At this time, the recruitment department and the immigration department were already on the right track, Ma Xun told the person in charge a few words, and returned to Nanjing with the first batch of recruited soldiers.The first batch of soldiers recruited this time included tens of thousands of soldiers, and five large warships were used.Qiao Zhiqing, the presidential office of Nanjing, has just arranged the brigade commander of the engineer brigade to build a barracks for recruits in the military district south of the city.These days, five army commanders, including Zuo Zongtang and Guo Songtao, have been studying together with grassroots generals at the Nanjing Military Academy every day.At the beginning of the Nanjing Military Academy, outstanding commanders were selected from various armies.The army instructors in charge of their courses are all commanders of various armies of the Huaxing Army.The naval instructors are all retired British admirals, and these people were all hired by Qiao Zhiqing and Smith.Smith has now become a senior military adviser to New China, and his cooperation with Qiao Zhiqing has become increasingly close.Now that the recruitment of new recruits is about to be completed, these five generals are full of excitement.The days in the Military Academy were also eye-opening, and I didn't feel that I admired Qiao Zhiqing very much.According to the calculations on the course, breech guns were used against breech guns and expeditionary machine guns.On the basis of guaranteed ammunition, no matter how many people use breech guns, there is no point in it.The five of them were convinced that they were all losing, and they secretly made up their minds that they must build an iron army and never lose to anyone.After the commander of the engineer brigade left, Zhou Xiuying hurried to Qiao Zhiqing's yard.After Zeng Jiyun passed the word, he excitedly entered the study."
Brother Qiao, the matter of the Dongying ninja has finally come to an end."
Zhou Xiuying excitedly put the report in her hand on the desk, picked up the tea on the small table on the couch and drank it in a big gulp, and it took a long time to calm down."
Have you caught everyone" Qiao Zhiqing asked with a condensed brow, and picked up the report and looked at it."
When we surrounded them, we killed hundreds of people on the spot, more than a dozen committed suicide, and only one was forcibly left alive by the fire wolf.These Dongying people are so perverted, they stabbed them in the stomach without hesitation, and even their intestines were cut out.But these hundreds of people belong to the same sect, and only the twenty ninjas from Hanzo Gate are responsible for assassinating Huang Feihong this time. ”Zhou Xiuying said with an incredible face.The report clearly states that the investigation of the Toei ninja was made clear that they all got up on cargo ships that sold Japanese women.When I came, I had undergone rigorous training in China, and I could probably speak one or two sentences of Chinese, and the topographic map on my body was very detailed for the cities in the south of the Yangtze River.Therefore, as soon as they came to China, they quickly sent a small detachment to infiltrate Nanjing and carry out a sneak attack on the target at night.The target of their trip was Huang Feihong, and Zhou Xiuying used the ten major tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on Japanese ninjas.Although Qiao Zhiqing has strictly ordered the abolition of these tortures, the premise is that they are directed against Chinese.This ninja failed to commit suicide, and endured unspeakable pain, fell into a coma several times, and came to his senses several times.After tossing and turning for more than ten days, I finally gave a full explanation of my nervous breakdown.It turned out that after the last time Koizumi Ichiro and Huang Feihong failed in the competition, he held a grudge against Huang Feihong, and as soon as he returned to Japan, he expressed his opinion to Tokugawa Keiki.But at this time, the power of the Shogunate faction was getting stronger and stronger, and Tokugawa Yoshiki didn't want to offend this powerful ally, so he immediately scolded Koizumi Ichiro a few words, making him break his mind of revenge.But Koizumi Ichiro didn't obey him, how could he, as a middle ninja of Hanzomon, swallow this breath.In a fit of rage, he betrayed Hanzomon with his men and rested his head on Emperor Meiji's men.The twenty people who came to China this time were also carefully selected by him, and they were all very good at water.On the day of the assassination, they escaped by water and returned all the way to the stronghold of Jinkui City.Prepare to wait for the wind to pass and sneak into Nanjing again to assassinate.Every day, Japanese merchants came and went in Jinkuicheng, and after selling women from their own country, they got the money to buy cigarettes, soap, clothing, porcelain, and other things that Japan did not have in Suzhou.The ninja organization has long been involved in these merchants to find out information in China.Not only did they draw up detailed maps, but they also set up bases to inquire about the country.This is also the reason why the little Meiji emperor was in a hurry to change the law, that is, after knowing Qiao Zhiqing's various reforms, he was afraid that China would go ahead of Japan and threaten the interests of Japan.Although the Hanzo Gate that came to China this time is not the same as these ninjas, they are in a foreign land, so they naturally have to unite sincerely.But the bad thing is that one of the lower ninjas here, he actually met his sister in the Penglai Club here.His sister had disappeared from Japan for many years, and he never imagined that he would meet her in China.This ninja was also the last to be captured, and he gave up many attempts to commit suicide in order to bring his sister back to Japan.What is the Penglai Club, it has long received a secret order from the fire fox, responsible for strictly investigating the traces of Japanese ninjas.As soon as this ninja saw his sister, he was recognized and reported to Zhou Xiuying.Zhou Xiuying did not move, and sent the elite of the fire wolf to investigate secretly.In the end, the secret stronghold of these ninjas was discovered, and there were hundreds of them.After three days and three nights of precise deployment, Zhou Xiuying finally ordered the net to be closed.The two groups of ninjas were all wiped out, and only one of the twenty ninjas responsible for assassinating Huang Feihong was killed or wounded by Hanzomon."
Xiuying, bring that captive ninja up, I want to meet him.When I'm free another day, I'll set up a banquet for you to celebrate. ”Qiao Zhiqing was full of curiosity about this ninja, and praised Zhou Xiuying with a happy face."
Okay, then I'll wait for your celebration feast."
Zhou Xiuying smiled lightly, turned around and went back to the Ministry of Public Security, and asked the ninja to be escorted to Qiao Zhiqing's study.The ninja's hands were tied behind his back with ropes behind his back, and he was dressed in black cloth, and his skin was torn apart everywhere, and even his clothes were stained with blood.Hui'er was also summoned by Qiao Zhiqing, and was specially responsible for Qiao Zhiqing's translation on the side."
What is your name, where do you come from, and what is the purpose of coming to China" Qiao Zhiqing stared at the ninja's eyes and spit out coldly.Hui'er followed and translated Qiao Zhiqing's words on the side, just listening to Qiao Zhiqing's figure, she felt the cold air rushing all over her body."
My name is Shinji Abe, I'm from Japan, and I'm here to assassinate a man named Huang Feihong."
The captive replied with numb eyes, without any intention of resisting.His spirit has been tortured and broken, and now he has to answer all questions, and there is nothing to hide."
I heard that you still have a sister in China, do you want to bring her back" Qiao Zhiqing's tone suddenly calmed down, and put forward a condition that was extremely tempting to Shinji Abe."
My lord, I have confessed everything, if you want to kill me, kill me, don't torture my sister."
As soon as Shinji Abe heard about his sister, he was like a dog in a hurry, and begged to kneel down with Qiao Zhiqing."
Get up, we China is a hospitable people, so naturally we won't do anything to your sister."
Qiao Zhiqing's face was full of smirk, but he didn't know how many times he had grassed Japan."
My lord, what do you mean" Shinji Abe's eyes suddenly emitted a glimmer of light, and he stared at Qiao Zhiqing with an incredible face."
I mean very simply, your sister will be here with you tomorrow.You can take her back to Japan, but I have one condition. ”Qiao Zhiqing paused, sat down on the couch, and served Shinji Abe like a master."
My lord, as long as you let my sister go, you want me to die, I will do it."
Shinji Abe kowtowed to Qiao Zhiqing fiercely, and even his forehead was bloodshot
