61 Pirates: The Legion of Knives Born in Contempt

The news that 7,000 Fujian brothers arrived in Beijing safely caused a sensation in the city, and Zhao Kuo arranged a grand welcome ceremony to enter the city.

In front, 400 boy soldiers, his "Guard of Honor", were led by a bayonet with foreign guns and bayonets, and behind were lions and dragon dances. Three groups of people were prepared to rotate fatigue along the way. Then, as representatives, 1,000 members of the Knife Association waved to the onlookers on the blue and smokey streets.

Why is the smoke filled? Because the firecrackers were constantly set off on both sides, the foreigners who came to watch were not very adaptable, and all covered their noses with tears in their eyes and handkerchiefs.

The entire Haijing was so boiling that it seemed like a temple fair, with a crowd of people filling the avenue from the port to the former Governor's Mansion.

This was all as Zhao Kuo expected. Chinese people like to watch the excitement. The more they watch, the greater the public opinion. Moreover, these people are from Fujian. This time, the Guangdong people made a lot of efforts to save friendly troops, and they were even more proud. Once, the morale and pride of the people increased comprehensively.

But listening to the sound of firecrackers getting closer and closer, Zhao Kuo's face was not as good-looking as the people outside. On the contrary, he had a sinister face and was thinking about how to deal with Xiaodao's answers to these people.

In front of him, Huan Zhuguo and his own people sent to the Xiaodao Society kept reporting. Zhao Kuo listened to the combat effectiveness of the Xiaodao Society, and became more annoyed.

You should know that the Qing Dynasty was like the 1990s IPO bubble. At that time, you were embarrassed to take it out without a .com on your business card and just grab a flower pot from the upstairs. Half of the ten were IT bosses.

Of course, the Qing Dynasty bubble was rebellion.

In this era, there were more rebels than cows, and there were almost all the fires everywhere. If they did not revolt or rebel, they would not be considered a trendsetter.

But this also brings a problem. Few rebels who can maintain their lasting organizational and combat effectiveness like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Nian Army are still the kings, and they raise funds (to conquer the county town) for two years, or they will be completely lost.

"I'm too eager for quick success and instant benefits." Zhao Kuo commented on this. How many years did I prepare for preaching before the Taiping Army Uprising? Moreover, the people's political affairs and education are in line with each other, and the military discipline is still very good. This is a sufficient preparation and the market demand is accurate.

Others had demands, but they were ready to go hastily and did not have advanced market awareness and vision. After only two days, the chairman and the chairman were addicted to CEO (almost all founding the country was called emperor: he would be called emperor if he was defeated, and he would be called emperor if he could not escape). They were soon suppressed by the Qing Dynasty. They did not have the exclusive organizational system like the Taiping Army, nor the terrible tactics of the Nian Army (relying on cavalry to fight), let alone the resources of the founding father, principal, and great man in later generations. It could be considered that the global large companies entered the Chinese market, with a large number of overseas returnees, and strong foreign aid. In addition, the domestic market demand was strong, the reactionary forces were swept into the garbage dump in a few seconds.

Xiaodaohui is obviously not good.

Zhao Kuo frowned, holding his fingers one by one, and said, "First, I can't defend military discipline; Second, gambling is rampant in the army. Damn, today, military pay is not there, and there is still morale to fight a big deal! Third, there are still scandals? I c, they have only been rebelling for a few months!"

Looking at the two subordinates who bowed their heads and agreed to the default, Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and said, "He helped the country, I want to disband these people on the spot. Where can you settle him? Didn't He Bo, the Royal Transportation Company of the Wharf, say that Qi was short of sailors of smuggling boats?"

Huan Zhuguo licked his gums with his tongue, stepped forward, and said, "Your Majesty, listen to the cheers outside. Today, the whole Haijing people came out to see them. What a call is this? Disband, and your 30,000 taels of silver were thrown into the water?"

Zhao Kuo glared and shouted, "According to what you said, I can't disband them anymore! That 30,000 taels are for the sake of foreigners to help me. Now the members of the Tiandihui gangs alone make me anxious in the army. Let's have another batch of soft-legged shrimps? Where can I have money to support them? This is not a shelter! Oh, you don't know what a shelter is, a place where his mother's church will give beggars!"

"Your Majesty think twice." Huan Zhuguo thought for a while and said, "Dissolve most of them, leave some, and then give them a new banner, just like the Sun and Moon Legion of the Heaven and Earth Society."

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Actually, this is what I think. I will leave 500 people. You can try to settle the rest of them! Save money! It should suit their wishes!"

Huan Zhuguo almost cried.

"What do you plan to deal with the leader of Xiaodao Association Huang Demei?" asked Huan Zhuguo.

"Luckily, he didn't proclaim himself emperor, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange it." Zhao Kuo smiled helplessly.

Huang Demei, who was covered in firecrackers, came down from the sedan chair and hugged him to the Governor's Mansion. He and Sha Baozai felt that when he saw the long-haired guards with live ammunition at the door, he instinctively shrank his neck, but when he stood at the door, he was excited. He could come in such a place where the Qing people used to live and work, but he was a little disappointed, because Zhao Kuo took the entire provincial government, but he fled in panic.

They are all rebels, why is the difference so big?

Huang Demei shook her head ignorantly, and under the cordial guidance of the Prime Minister of Haisong, Huan Zhuguo, he stepped into the Governor's Office.

Several foreign journalists behind them desperately passed through the crowd in front of the Governor's Mansion, squeezed into a gap between soldiers, and shouted to Huan Zhuguo: "Master Prime Minister! How will you receive Mr. Xiaodaohui?" "Master Prime Minister, I am a reporter from the Far East Business Daily. Do you really sink 30 Qing ships in the battle of the sea in Xiamen? Will Fujian take revenge?" "Mr. Prime Minister, many of the heroes rescued are notorious pirates. Is this rumor..."

Listening to the strange foreigners behind, Huan Zhuguo sighed and said loudly to the crowd: "The press conference will be held tomorrow, and the notice will be in the east board. Please give me your own wishes." After that, he clasped his fists and entered the Governor's Mansion.

"Scared, Lord Huan, there are so many foreigners in Haijing." Huang Demei looked at the guys who left in disappointment with their toes, and smiled: "There are in Fujian, but very few."

"There will be more in the future." Huan Zhuguo smiled and stretched out his hand, "Please don't call me sir, I want to call you sir."

"Oh, how dare you?" Huang Demei blushed and she smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo welcomed him out of the living room and shouted affectionately from a distance: "Ah, my brother Huang, you can escape safely."

Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Song was so arrogant in this rumor. Even if he was actually not strong enough to be the emperor, he was at least a successful rebel. Huang Demei was a little busy. Unexpectedly, he was called the eldest brother. He was hesitant or not. He bent down and hesitated. Zhao Kuo held his arm with both hands, "Brother, I am so happy to come. I have long been honored." Huang Demei hesitated for a moment and laughed. Then she thought that his family was now destroyed, but she saved her life. She was sad and happy, and she cried on Zhao Kuo's shoulder.

"It's okay, brother." Zhao Kuo patted Huang Demei's back affectionately, and the attendants and ministers laughed, and the scene suddenly became festive.

At the banquet, Huang Demei regarded Zhao Kuo as her benefactor, but in fact, she cried a lot several times.

Huang Demeike and Hong Xiuquan are not from the same place. He and Wei Changhui Shishidakai have a similar family background. The family is extremely rich. His father Huang Guangyan is a wealthy businessman living in Sanbaolong, Kalimantan Island, Nanyang (Indonesia), but he owns a lot of land in his hometown, Longxi Humaozhou, Fujian. Local tenants saw that their family was a "weed man", so they began to resist rent.

For this, Huang Demei traveled all the way home from Kalimantan and sued the tenants, but the Qing officials ignored this "outsider". In anger, Huang Demei joined the Weeds organization and used violence to seek justice for herself, probably gathering people to beat people at night, ordering houses, etc.

The Qing government was based on violence, and the underworld was also violent. The former ignored you, what could you do?

Moreover, when the government heard that Huang Demei had money, he also targeted him. He not only blackmailed him but also forced him to act as a salt merchant. Huang Demei was defeated and could not bear it anymore. He led the people to revolt. At this time, he had hundreds of thousands of dollars in his old house in Fujian in the Qing Dynasty. The wealthy merchants had revolted. It is conceivable how bullied he was.

Now he heard Zhao Kuo talk to him endlessly about how the Song Dynasty specifically protected the industry of the weeds. Not only did he move nothing, but he also sent someone to be responsible for collecting rents. Huang Demei even burst into tears. If Zhao Kuo was the county magistrate of the Qing Dynasty, would he have let the young master be a rebel?

Seeing that Huang Demei was almost taking himself as the emperor, she was about to kneel down several times. Zhao Kuojue was about to finish his time, and he said his placement opinions: "Brother Huang (1815-), I am going to enthrone you as an earl, and I am the same as the Guangdong Tiandihui Sect's Siege Chen Kaihe Liu. Whether you want to stay in Haijing or go home, you can do whatever you want. But your Xiaodaohui uprising Fujian has made great contributions to resist the Qing army. I decided to establish a new army for this purpose. The Xiaodaohui Army will temporarily belong to the Crusade. But I really have no money to expand the army here, so I can only temporarily set 500 places, and expand it later. Other brothers can be employed, farmers, and merchants, and they will all be respected."

Zhao Kuo saved his thousands of lives. Huang Demei was not a ruthless person to conquer the city and land. He was overjoyed when he heard that he had been named count by the emperor. He didn't care that Zhao Kuo almost killed Xiaodao Club, so he quickly thanked him.

At night, Zhao Kuo returned to the harem, and his beauty queen was waiting for him with a smile.

"Little beauty, what did Huang Demei's wife tell you?" Zhao Kuo asked. Today he received a group of leaders of Xiaodao Club, and the female relatives were handed over to Wan'er to take care of. This woman grew up on a flower boat and did a job of serving people. Although she lacked knowledge, the Qing Dynasty had no knowledge. In this area, the only knowledge was to "be good at being a human being", and the rest were bullshit.

So Wan'er is a good deal with people. In addition, she is "ugly", which is very popular among women. Because she is not as jealous as her big feet, she is doing better than her boss Sai Jinhua before. These female guests often want to take out their hearts and give them to her.

"Mrs. Huang cried and begged Your Majesty not to let her husband become an official or command the army. If a man has power, he will become bad." Wan'er reported.

Zhao Kuo hummed: "She thinks beautifully! His husband can only be a rich man."

"Your Majesty, I'm excited when Mrs. Huang is feeling. Could it be that something is wrong in Xiamen?" Wan'er asked.

Zhao Kuo said, "Old Huang took over his concubine as soon as he founded the country in Xiamen, and was slaughtered by his wife. At his command center, another life of a couple was killed, which disrupted the morale of the army. Is he a rebellion or a gossip?"
