After being away for a long time, why do the people on the Homecoming have the same moral character, and "not worth mentioning" is their mantra?

Isn’t it worth mentioning? Long Hao felt that his strong heart was extremely fragile compared to Zheng Gongxiao: “Oh, I can imagine Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Nanpi furious! That scene must be very...

Wonderful!"

Judging from the time, the Hanyang Iron Works has just been built. The equipment inside was bought at a large price from British businessmen. Now Zheng Gongxiao has vacated it. I am afraid that the whole Huguang will be in trouble!!

Zheng Gongxiao said: "Young Master, it was indeed very dangerous at that time. If it hadn't been for the ship sent by Thunder Dragon, more than a hundred of us and the blacksmiths would not have been able to retreat!"

Long Hao was stunned: "A hundred...more people?"

You must know that there were definitely no more than ten SS members, including Zheng Gongxiao, who went with the ship to the Qing Dynasty. How could there be more than a hundred? Where did he recruit a group of people? Is their loyalty reliable?

Zheng Gongxiao said: "The Homecoming is too small to fit in, so I asked them to take the cruise ship that runs once a month from Shanghai to San Francisco. I guess they should have arrived in the United States before us..."

Long Hao rolled his eyes and shouted angrily: "I'm asking you who those people are! I'm not asking you where they are! Oh, San Francisco, where Chinese Americans gather!"

Long Hao thought to himself that he had just returned from San Francisco, where the gang of 'thugs' who robbed the Hanyang Iron Works had gone. God knows what kind of waves they and fellow villagers would cause...

To talk about the origins of those people, we have to start from the beginning.

Zheng Gongxiao landed in Dagu, Tianjin, passed through Tianjin Wei, and entered the city of Beijing. Since he had brought a foreigner from the ship in advance, carrying a copy of the "Dream Island" company's documents, the group traveled smoothly all the way.

Zheng Gongxiao used to hang out in Gongmen and was very familiar with all the roads in the capital. When he arrived in Beijing, he first spent money to buy a cloth shop, which he used as his first stronghold in the Qing Dynasty.

Later, Zheng Gongxiao followed Long Hao's instructions, recruited gangsters, and opened up official channels. He did not take the top-level bureaucratic route for the time being. Instead, he took the path of some run-down Eight Banners disciples. Green dollars were spilled out, and these walking birds with higher eyes than the top were the ones who followed.

He immediately became Zheng Gongxiao's loyal spy.

Don't think this is so difficult. These days, Lafayette is trying to get money to build a garden. The monthly income of the Eight Banners has long been cut off! Firewood and rice are expensive at the emperor's feet. They have to survive. Anyway, they have to go there every day.

The tea house in Liuxiang is HAPPY. By the way, I can provide some information to this big American company and earn some tea money. Why not?

Hey, most Chinese people are so servile. They don’t feel guilty at all for selling information to foreigners. Instead, they feel proud: Look, I work for foreigners and earn U.S. dollars! Hey, give me two sucks. If you feel comfortable, I’ll give you a reward.

Tailor-made silk cheongsam!

Zheng Gongxiao left behind a member of the SS and continued south, to Baoding Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Wuchang Prefecture. Each of the major prefectures spent money, opened up strongholds, and left manpower behind. Until Ji'an Prefecture, Zheng Gongxiao only had

I was left alone with the foreigner who I treated as a "tiger skin" all the way.

The foreigner's name was Adams. He suggested to Zheng Gongxiao: "Mr. Zheng, it's not a good idea for you to just go in and out!"

He is a Frenchman. After several months of unforgettable experiences, he has learned that he will never get rid of the control of 'Satan' in his life. He has accepted his fate, but he is also extremely afraid of staying in a backward and ignorant place like China.

!

Adams just didn't want to shout directly: Mr. Zheng, I have blue eyes and a tall nose, so I am really not suitable for lurking in your motherland!

Zheng Gongxiao glanced coldly and said: "Why panic? We are here to recruit people!"

Who are you recruiting? We are recruiting a group of veterans who have not died in countless battles!

Zheng Gongxiao found out in Beijing that after the Sino-French War, some veterans were hiding in Ji'an Mansion. It happened that one of them was named Zheng Danglong, who was from Zheng Gongxiao's family. There were several romantic encounters in Gongmen back then.

, so Zheng Gongxiao went all the way south for these veterans!

The origins of these soldiers are not ordinary. They are all veterans of the Zhennan Pass Victory. They are not good at anything else. When it comes to murder and arson, they are first-class talents! Moreover, they have experience in fighting foreigners with foreign guns and cannons.

If they can be recruited, it will be a great supplement to the SS.

After a lot of twists and turns, Zheng Gongxiao finally found Zheng Danlong. When he explained his purpose of coming and mentioned his young master's development vision in North America, Zheng Danlong immediately became interested!

Jiangxi is miserable. When the Qing government made peace with France, Zheng Danglong led a group of brothers to leave the army angrily and returned to his hometown of Ji'an. However, in recent years, there has been drought and famine, and the grain harvested was almost not enough to satisfy the emperor's tax burden.

Again... Zheng Gongxiao's arrival was like a timely rain!

Zheng Danglong was filled with joy!

Zheng Gongxiao said it well: "You anti-French heroes are tigers in the mountains. My brothers and I will go out and kill corrupt officials, corrupt officials, and foreigners! Don't let the hoe smooth your tiger claws!"

Zheng Danglong was excited and responded: "Brother Zheng has spoken to my heart! Hey, I have worked hard for the Manchus all my life, and in the end I almost starved to death! Damn it, I will go with you to join that young master of yours!"

In this way, the SS regiment had more than a hundred reserve members!

According to Zheng Gongxiao, it is not easy to enter the Dragon Scale Party. To make meritorious deeds, a majority of party members must vote before they can be counted!

When Zheng Danglong heard about the purpose of the Longlin Party and the visible US dollar benefits, he was greatly moved and suggested to Zheng Gongxiao: Zhang Nanpi recently opened a foreign factory in Hubei and exchanged the people's wealth for the foreigners' iron skin. It was really shocking.

People are so angry! Why don't we go north and serve them all in one pot, which can be regarded as a big gift to Master Long!

When Zheng Gongxiao heard this, he was quite moved. Especially after hearing that there were a group of senior blacksmiths in the Hanyang Iron Factory, he made up his mind: Didn't the young master always complain that there are not enough talents? It is a great achievement for us to kidnap these people back.

!

So, two strong men from the Zheng family joined forces and led their people north to Wuchang. They walked around Guishan Mountain, entering and exiting nine times, and had a thorough look at the Hanyang Iron Works, which was still under construction.

On a dark and stormy night, Zheng Gongxiao and Zheng Danlong rushed into the vicinity of the iron factory and tied up all the blacksmiths and their families with ropes!

Poor those blacksmiths, they thought they had encountered a strong man and were so frightened that they urinated on the spot!

Then, Zheng Gongxiao did not stop and ordered people to pack up the foreign equipment that had just been purchased from Hanyang Iron Works, pack it, drag it away, and hide it in a hidden place not far from Guishan.

These equipments were quite heavy. Zheng Danglong suggested that they should be smashed and finished, so as not to be used as a burden by Zhang Zhidong's soldiers. However, Zheng Gongxiao firmly opposed it because before taking action, he specifically asked Adams to go to Shanghai to find Zhou Bodang and others.

People ask for help.

At that time, Leilong and Zhou Bodang had just finished recruiting young children studying in the United States and were about to contact Zheng Gongxiao to return to the team and return to Alaska. However, Adams suddenly appeared in Shanghai and said that Zheng Gongxiao was going to "rob" the Hanyang Iron Works, which frightened the two of them out of their wits.

!

Did this Lao Zheng eat the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard? Hubei is Zhang Zhidong’s territory. Pulling teeth out of a tiger’s mouth is not seeking death?

However, Zhou Bodang knew Zheng Gongxiao's temperament. When Adams got here, he was probably going to take action there. It was too late to dissuade him, so he had to do his best to rescue him!

Therefore, Thunder Dragon thought for a while and postponed the return date. He asked the young children to disembark and wait in Shanghai. He took a few foreigners with him and went to find Li Zhongtang.

Li Hongzhang was also quite surprised by the sudden visit from the people from Dream Island. He thought that the other party couldn't stand Rong Hong and wanted to throw him back! But after hearing what he meant, he frowned.

Huh? These foreigners want to sail into the Yangtze River? Go to Wuchang?

In the Qing Dynasty, the Yangtze River belonged to the traditional sphere of influence of the British. You can reach Wuchang Prefecture all the way up the Yangtze River! If you don't ask the British for this matter, why should you ask me? It's a roundabout way...

Li Hongzhang touched his beard...

After that, Li Hongzhang used the dragging technique, which made Thunder Dragon so anxious that he wanted to burn the old guy's beard with fire.

[Me: My friend took me to drift yesterday. It was so cool.
