The First Evolution

After reading this letter, Fang Linyan also had a thought in his heart: Vladivostok is only more than 700 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland. In this case, the four Spanish armed merchant ships can launch a raid within two days after picking up the people!

In this regard, the plan proposed by the Russian minister is much stronger than transporting sailors from Australia.

Of course, despite the fact that the Russian minister boasted about the Russian soldiers, it is certain that these Russians must be very poor in terms of military discipline and obedience.

Even Fang Linyan could guess the composition of this group of Russian mercenaries. They should be a group of villains, exiled criminals, blocking all adventurers coming to the Far East...

In terms of military discipline, the British sailors in Australia are obviously stronger.

However, what Fang Linyan wants to do is to throw these Russian scum into Japanese cities to cause trouble. As for their character, whether they are evil-doers or modest and gentlemen, Fang Linyan does not pay attention to it. Anyway, it is not the Chinese who are causing trouble.

The result he wanted was actually very simple, which was to beat the Japanese so hard that they would face reality and then kneel down and call daddy.

What the Americans did during World War II illustrates this point very well. After the Japanese were severely beaten, they were treated as dogs by the Americans for decades.

After thinking it over carefully, Fang Linyan said to Ma Kui simply:

"Brother Ma, there's no need to go to Shanghai. I've read this letter. It's mainly about asking for money. I think the conditions mentioned above are acceptable. I'll write a note and you can make another trip. Just send a telegram directly to Master Song."

Ma Kui also knew very well that Fang Linyan and the Qiao family were Master Song's pocketbook. Since it involved financial matters, of course he could decide it with one word, so he had no objection to Fang Linyan's arrangement and said directly:

"OK!"

Next, Fang Linyan hurriedly wrote a reply. The telegram at this time was expensive, so he had to be concise and to the point, and then handed it to Ma Kui.

It was almost time to have dinner. Even though this was the countryside, I actually responded to two lines of poetry: "Don't laugh at farmers who are thick with wax and wine. In good years, there are enough chickens and dolphins for guests."

The Huo family can be considered a middle-class family in this township. In addition to the medicine shop, there are more than ten acres of irrigated land, so even if they were just hit by the war, they still have wine and meat to entertain guests.

The weather was hot at this time, so what we had for lunch was corn rice porridge soaked in cold boiled water, cold green radish skin, freshly fried fish, and dead-faced pancakes, which was quite a sumptuous meal.

As a result, while the group of people were eating, Master Huo's disciple Ah Qi also ran in from outside. When he saw Fang Linyan, he said in surprise:

"Master Hu, you are back. Mr. Liu said that he had something urgent to ask you to come over. He said that he had made new discoveries about the Japanese, and he should have found their hiding place."

When Fang Linyan heard this, he immediately became interested and said:

"Oh? Then take a bite first, and we'll be there right away!"

Needless to say, everyone present would definitely want to go along.

Li San accepted the money and was impressed by Fang Linyan. After experiencing the highlight of his life, his dream had changed from saving up 50,000 taels of silver and washing his hands in a gold basin to becoming Mr. Hu's butler. From then on, I lived a stable life with a monthly salary of twenty taels, a wife and children on the hot bed...

Not to mention Wang Wu, even if we put aside Fang Linyan's relationship, he and Master Huo are close friends, so it can be said that it is his duty to come to help.

Tan Sitong, on the other hand, was a pragmatic person. He knew that the imperial court had recently been troubled by this group of Japanese pirates who had raided:

Some people say that there are only a few hundred Japanese pirates in this group, and they are just bluffing and robbing homes.

Some people say that they are just the vanguard troops coming to fight the outpost, and the follow-up troops are still behind! Advocate for an immediate curfew in the capital!

There are also pessimists who directly pessimize: Li Gongzhang and Master Li's Huai army were beaten to shrunk eggs. How reliable is the Green Camp in the capital now? It is recommended that Lafayette must make early preparations for the "hunt to the west" of Chengde.

Therefore, since they met, Tan Sitong was ready to go with his friends to explore the true identity of this group of Japanese pirates. In this way, if he got first-hand information, his voice in the court would undoubtedly increase.

Tan Sitong's identity was extraordinary. He was originally a noble son of a wealthy family, and he was deeply trusted by the emperor. He was also the favorite disciple of the emperor's master Weng Tonghe. These three identities determined that it was impossible for him to travel in white fish and dragon clothes.

So when he came this time, he also brought seven or eight followers with him, and they seemed to be very capable. According to Wang Wu's introduction, these people were sent by the old man of the Tan family (Tan Sitong's father), regardless of their loyalty or skill. They are all top-notch strong.

So a group of people went straight to kill him in a mighty manner. After meeting, Fang Linyan found that Mr. Liu's complexion could be said to be much better.

It seems that after a night's rest and Master Huo's conditioning, the injury should be under control. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Mr. Liu's rib fracture is not serious.

Tan Sitong actually knew Mr. Liu. This is the strength of the second generation of officials.

Because Tan Sitong's father had worked in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for fifteen years before he became the governor of Huguang. The Ministry of Civil Affairs was responsible for the transfer of officials all over the world. Under the trend of selling officials and titles in the Qing Dynasty, all the disciples of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were probably Someone came to make friends, so Mr. Tan must know most of the officials well.

After a quick exchange of friendship, Mr. Liu said simply:

"This gang of Japanese pirates was so rampant that they actually dared to assassinate the imperial official. I was really annoyed, so I sent people to search for their traces. It turned out that this gang of thieves was really cunning, and they actually broke into pieces and hid in Cui. An island over Jiadian."

"They put three hundred people on the island, and the remaining one hundred people rested directly on the boat. The other one hundred people, led by the local police, moved into a village called Li Family Courtyard. in."

Fang Linyan's heart moved after hearing this:

"To put it this way, we need to hurry up now. The other party seems to be very vigilant and can get on the boat and run away at any time."

Lord Liu waved his hand and said:

"There is no need to rush. According to the information I have learned, this group of Japanese pirates has been running around until now, and they are at the end of their fight. They have just made contact with the people in the ***, and there are nearly a hundred people injured among them. At this time, Now that we have rested there, we need to repair it for at least two or three days."

After hearing what Mr. Liu said, Fang Linyan felt that his intelligence source was really awesome, as he could get such detailed data and intelligence.

But if you think about it carefully, if the Japanese task force succeeds, it will definitely change the current war situation, and it can even be said to change history. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a final word, so the difficulty it faces will inevitably great!

In this case, it is natural for Mr. Liu to obtain sufficient intelligence support.

***

The sky started to get dark, and there was even light rain falling.

In the Li family compound, every house was crowded with people. The Japanese were exhausted. Even without bedding, they just laid some straw poles on the ground. They lay down quickly. The snoring was so loud that they couldn't even wake up, and some injured people even fell asleep and died.

In the wing room of the Li family, a group of people also looked at each other in confusion. The person sitting at the top was the old man from the Li family courtyard, clicking his pipe with a rather sad expression, while the people at the bottom were his three sons.

Suddenly, Mr. Li’s second son Li Quan said angrily:

"***'s yellow tumor is such a piece of shit! That's not what he said when he came to me. He directly promised me fifty taels of gold, and then said that a large caravan wanted to stay here for two days! I I was thinking that this quick money would come in vain, but I didn’t expect that what would come was such a group of plague gods, such sluggish yellow tumors... Ah!!”

Before Li Quan finished speaking, he was kicked by Mr. Li:

"What a bastard! What are you yelling about? You don't have any control over your words? Don't you look at whose hand the handle of the knife is now?"

After Li Quan was kicked, he was grinning, but the expression on his face was uglier than mourning, but he didn't even dare to say anything back.

Mr. Li's eldest son Li Tao sighed and said:

"I took Chang Gong Dazhu and others to deliver food. The new people were like reincarnations of starving ghosts. They drank the boiling vegetable porridge until it was so hot in their mouths that they grimaced and refused to vomit. There was gurgling in their mouths. They also speak in Japanese!"

Li Quan gritted his teeth and said:

"Huang Dazao didn't say that. He just told me that a friend on the road made a fortune and was bitten by the government, so he lent me a place to rest!"

Li Tao didn't pay attention to this younger brother. If the old man above wasn't there to control them, the two brothers would have lost their minds a long time ago. At this time, he wished that his younger brother would be as unlucky as possible, so he continued to add fuel to the fire:

"Dad, you don't know that the look in the eyes of these people when they look at Mrs. Wang almost makes them burst into flames. That's Mrs. Wang. She's in her early forties, and the wrinkles on her face are all gone. It’s quite full.”

"These people are very tired now, so they still seem to be calm, but it will be hard to tell when they recover. I think something will probably happen tonight, so we should prepare early."

Mr. Li snorted softly from his nostrils:

"Do you still need to remind me? In the afternoon, I will ask Zhu Laosan to see if the road to the woodshed is still clear. We will leave as soon as it gets dark!"

Li Quan was shocked and said:

"Let's just leave and not pack up our things? What will happen to my wife and baby?"

When Li Quan heard this, he was furious and slapped Li Quan so hard that his nose started to bleed:

"At this moment, you are still thinking about your possessions! You want money rather than your life, right? Do you want me to get you a few cars and go out through the front entrance?"

"If you hadn't lured the wolf into the house this time because you saw money, how could something like this have happened!"

Li Quan was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to speak, but at this time, a group of people suddenly heard two sounds on the outer door. It must have been someone pushing it away from the outside, and then there was a loud "click", which must have been He was kicked away.

Mr. Li was furious and his gray eyebrows stood up sharply. But before he could say anything, he saw Huang Dazuo swaying in.

This man's real name is Huang Daliu, but later he developed a black tumor the size of his little finger next to his nose, so others called him Huang Daliu. He usually looks like a smiley person, which can be said to be a smile. A perfect example of someone who picks up the guy behind his back.

Huang Dazao's right hand was holding a bloody head, and he threw it in front of them and said with a smile:

"The brothers who were on patrol just now found a thief who broke into the village! He was caught and killed. Do you think you know each other?"

After all, the four Li family father and son were nothing more than a few country tycoons. They had never seen this scene of bloody buns rolling around, and they were immediately frightened out of their wits. Their voices could not help but tremble when they spoke. When they saw the faces on their heads, After knowing it, I was even more horrified.

It turns out that this head is none other than Mr. Li’s confidant Zhu Laosan. Those Kuhaha people always bow down and call Butler Zhu when they see him!

However, such an acquaintance has lost his head, and his grinning face is really creepy, and goosebumps appear on his back.

It was a coincidence that the dead head just rolled in front of Li Quan, staring at him with two unblinking eyes. Li Quan's stomach turned upside down, and he vomited out with a loud sound.

At this time, Huang Dazuo said slowly:

"Before he died, this thief said that someone sent him to find out information, so the adults above asked me to ask if he is an acquaintance of the four of you?"

Li Tao hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Of course not, of course not!!"

Huang Dazuo said with a smile:

"Really?"

"No!" Li Tao said.

Huang Dazao sneered:

"I really don't know you?"

Li Tao said:

“I really don’t know you!!”

Huang Dazuo shrugged and said:

"That's good, that's good. If you put it this way, you Zhuangzi really don't have any precautions at all. The thieves got in so easily. If the other party has any malicious intentions, wouldn't it mean that the whole family would be affected? Do you want everyone to die?"

Speaking of this, Huang Dazuo deliberately emphasized the words "all the family members died", then touched his chin and said meaningfully:

"Comments, please tell me, our brothers have helped you eliminate such a big hidden danger. Shouldn't we reward you for your hard work? Let everyone eat something good and have fun?"

Mr. Li slapped his thigh fiercely:

"It should be given! It must be given!"

The old man stood up tremblingly, and took out a package from the kang hole next to him with a grateful face. When he opened it, he saw that the golden light was shining! Then he offered it with both hands.

"You take this one hundred taels of gold first! I'll go back to Ma Yuanwai, who still owes me two thousand taels of silver. I'll bring it together to thank my brothers!"

When Huang Dazuo saw Jin Zi, his eyes suddenly showed greedy light. After taking a deep look at Mr. Li, he laughed and said:

"The old man is indeed generous!"
