Zhan Yuping fired a bunch of bullets.
He quickly changed the magazine.
Bai Qiao's face was covered with blood.
He groaned, but then pulled the trigger.
The melody of "Song of the Four Seasons" sounded in his mouth again.
He was always at the front.
He never let Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi surpass him.
All around, there were gunfire sounds like firecrackers.
Several small teams were there fighting to the death.
It's not a heroic assault, it's a deadly assault!
Suddenly, a long whistle sounded from the pier.
Gone, the cruise ship is gone!
Mr. Dai is gone too!
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
Meng Shaoyuan yelled.
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
Wu Jingyi shouted.
"Miss Zhan, let's go!"
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan finished speaking, Zhan Yuping turned around and smiled:
"It won't work."
His mouth was filled with blood.
His body was covered in blood.
He staggered and slowly fell to the ground.
Meng Shaoyuan rushed forward.
He could never forget this day in his life.
Zhan Yuping, who was only 24 years old, was holding his hand tightly. He was crying, really crying. This girl Zhan, who was strolling in the hail of bullets, cried while saying:
"Sir, save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to..."
At this moment, Meng Shaoyuan realized that he was so incompetent...
…
Li Shiqun and Zai Rong had already become "friends" after two or three days of contact.
This Zai Rong has really big hands and feet, and he has no restraint in spending money.
Everyone in the Licha Hotel, from the manager to the waiters, was rewarded by him.
The Japanese manager of Richa Hotel was determined to please Zai Rong and even hired a chef who could cook palace dishes to serve Zai Rong.
Zai Rong is also a true connoisseur.
When he tasted the dishes, he immediately pointed out what was wrong and what should be improved.
The chef was also convinced after hearing this, and said privately that he had met a great expert.
Li Shiqun treated Zai Rong to a meal, which was considered quite luxurious.
During the dinner, they didn't dig too much into Zai Rong, they just chatted word by word.
Some things must not be rushed.
Over the past few days, Zai Rong and Li Shiqun talked about everything.
Li Shiqun's goal was achieved.
He knew it was time to close the net...
…
"Mr. Li evacuated safely."
"Report casualties."
"Fourteen of our troops were killed, eight were wounded, and four were captured. The enemy was killed..."
"Stop talking, stop talking, I don't care how many enemies I kill."
The number of killed exceeded the number of wounded.
Meng Shaoyuan had a sad smile on his face.
Mr. Dai is safe, but he is his brother.
Don't come.
Those important officials in Chongqing, you really should not come to Shanghai again.
All that was shed was the blood of our brothers!
…
"Chorus of soldiers."
Zai Rong's name for Li Shiqun changed: "You and I hit it off right away, and there are some things I have to say to you."
Li Shiqun was in high spirits, and the moment he had been waiting for finally arrived!
"Prince Chun is my cousin." Zai Rong said slowly: "In the thirty-fourth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, he was appointed Minister of Military Affairs. In the same year, the emperor and Lafayette were buried in heaven. Everyone knows these things, and I don't need to elaborate. Today I What I want to tell you is what you don’t know.
At that time, although the Qing Dynasty was beleaguered internally and externally, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. Even if it was stripped of its hair, it would be enough to feed and clothe several large families for a lifetime. At that time, chaotic parties were rampant and quite powerful. At the beginning of the 34th year of Guangxu's reign, Lafayette specially set up a "Special Fund for the Great Qing Dynasty Longxing" as a precaution..."
"Special funds for Longxing in the Qing Dynasty?" Li Shiqun was startled.
"That's right." Zai Rong's voice couldn't help but lowered his voice: "This was decided by Lafayette himself... the scholars. Later, the rebels took over Wuchang, and the front line demanded military pay. A mere two million taels of silver, and the court also took it. It doesn’t come out because all the money in the court is in this special fund.”
Li Shiqun really believed this.
During the Wuchang Uprising, the Qing court really couldn't get out any money. In the end, it forced the princes and belles to "take the initiative" to donate, and finally managed to scrape together two million taels of silver.
But the strange thing is that in order to show the royal family's determination to suppress the rebellious party, Empress Dowager Longyu used internal funds to donate one million taels.
This shows that the royal family is still rich, and very rich.
Zai Rong continued: "What Lafayette means is that Prince Chun will be in charge of the government, and I will secretly guard this huge sum of money. If the situation really gets out of hand in the future, then the court will retreat outside the customs. I loved Xin back then." In the land of Jueluo Longxing, this huge sum of money is the hope of restoring the country in the future!
Later, when the emperor and Lafayette were buried, I took advantage of the chaos in the capital and quietly left the capital with this huge sum of money, all the way to the United States. To the outside world, I drank too much, fell into the water, and died... Actually, I was We shoulder the great love of Lafayette and the heavy responsibility of restoring the Qing Dynasty!
Lafayette had a secret agreement with the Americans, so I deposited the money in a bank in the United States designated by Lafayette, and then moved to Nanyang and settled there. I can't return to China until now..."
Li Shiqun's curiosity was completely aroused: "Master Beile, how much is this sum of money? Ah, this is private. Master Beile doesn't want to tell Shiqun, so naturally he can't force it."
"It doesn't matter." Zai Rong looked serious: "One hundred and eighty million taels of silver!"
"So many?" Li Shiqun took a breath of air.
"Gold, jewelry, and antiques are all included in this." Zai Rongfeng Qingyun said: "I haven't calculated the interest over the years yet... Humph, what is this little money? Compared with back then, it's just a drop in the bucket. Gengzi compensation, The court didn't even pay attention to the 450 million taels. Why should it be repaid in 39 years? That's because Lafayette had foresight and always secretly withheld part of the compensation every year... As time goes by, this little money... "
Li Shiqun was doubtful: "Then why has Lord Baylor remained anonymous all these years?"
"Shiqun, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart." Zai Rong sighed: "The Qing Dynasty is dead, really dead. Have you ever seen how many people were able to recover after the fall of the imperial court? It's just a dream. To put it another way, think about it, if you were in charge of such a huge fortune and all the people who knew the inside story were dead, would you be tempted by this huge sum of money?"
Li Shiqun felt a little more confident.
This is truly telling the truth.
One hundred and eighty million taels of silver, what is that concept?
And the interest over the years?
Li Shiqun really couldn't figure it out.
He suddenly asked: "Master Beile, this is a huge secret, why do you want to tell the soldiers? Aren't you afraid that the soldiers will leak it?"
"Of course I'm afraid." Zai Rong said, "But I need to find someone reliable. You, Li Shiqun, are the most powerful person in Shanghai. You are exactly the person I need. And..."
He looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Li Shiqun smiled: "Master Beile, since you trust me, it doesn't matter what you say. As long as Shiqun can do it, I will never shirk it!"
"Okay, Shiqun is a generous person!" Zai Rong also took the risk: "To tell you the truth, I have encountered a huge problem if I want to use this fund now!"
