"Matthew's Diary" is not a book yet, but a collection of messy single-page articles and a lot of information. These texts, sketches, and black-and-white photos are now piled on a round table, with a large wooden clip next to it. The form is used to store this information. (Baidu search network updates the fastest and most stably)
It was precisely because Matthew and Mike had just looked through it and not put it away that Jiao Sier had this opportunity to get in touch with the secret.
Of course Jiao Si'er doesn't understand foreign languages, but he can understand photos and drawings. The burning Naha Port, the chaotic Japanese army, the foreign warships spitting flames on the sea, and countless Chinese roaring and fighting like hell's rebel demons.
These pictures and photos truly record all of Xiao Letian's experiences in Naha, especially the photos and sketches of him carrying a large and exaggerated recognition flag and leading the people to charge forward, which made Jiao Si'er sweat profusely.
Oh my god, it turns out that the legends are all true, and the credentials sent by the Ryukyu Kingdom are all fake... When the half photo exposed in a corner of the pile of documents on the table came into view, Jiao Si completely collapsed.
There were rows of foreign and Western-style troops, but the troops were made up of Chinese faces. Shining bald head, patent leather military cap, uniform blue uniform, and pairs of high military boots on his feet.
God, isn't this the Yin soldier that Jiu Zaotou said? Everything is exactly the same. What makes people shudder even more is the forest of bayonets and brand-new foreign guns.
Damn it, Xiao Letian is going to rebel. He actually secretly trained an army in Ryukyu and brought it home... Damn it, what Jiuzhaitou saw was not bullshit ghost soldiers at all, what he saw was Xiao Letian's Private army, this Japanese devil has begun to secretly mobilize troops to the Qing Dynasty.
Jiao Si'er stood there trying to control himself calmly. He really wanted to turn around and run away and never get involved in these things again, but he didn't dare to move. If the slightest bit of secret was revealed, he might have to die in Tanggu City.
In the torment, Jiao Si'er finally waited until the two foreign adults finished playing table tennis. After he received a clear reply from the foreign adults, Jiao Si'er quickly left without saying a word. He didn't wake up until the cold wind on the street blew on his face.
In the final analysis, Jiao Si'er was just a domestic slave and a scoundrel. His vision and knowledge were only limited to those of Sijiu City. When the cold wind sobered his head, this guy actually forgot about fear and became greedy in his heart.
"Xiao Letian wants to rebel? Even if it's not a rebellion, it's still a business that violates the king's law. No wonder he takes advantage of the money. (Baidu search network updates the fastest and most stably) No, I want to hold this handle in my hand, *This is the rest of my life Meal ticket..." This person who doesn't know whether to live or die has already begun to think about ruthlessly killing Xiao Letian. This is not a one-time deal, but a gold mine that three generations can't eat up.
Just as he was walking and thinking, two boys suddenly invited him into a meat shop next to him, where Sun Sanhu was boiling wine and waiting for him.
"Master Jiao, you don't look very good today. It's better not to get into women's crotches in the cold weather. Be careful of the coldness getting into your bones. Why don't you show some mercy at this age?"
Jiao Si'er knew the details of Sun Sanhu. He didn't dare to offend such a person, so he quickly gave him a salute: "Oh my grandpa, why are you so bold to meet me directly? You must know that Xiao Letian's informants are everywhere in Tanggu City. He They all bribed the Yamen..."
Wang Huaiyuan's guess was correct. Jiao Si'er and Sun Sanhu were really connected, and not just a little bit. Jiao Si'er knew that the real master was behind Sun Sanhu. This group of people were superior to all the factions in the court, and they were the most murderous group of people.
Sun Sanhu looked at the cautious Jiao Si'er and nodded, "As long as you know how to be respectful and don't forget your roots. Let me ask you, do you know that Xiao Letian has done anything against the king's laws during this period? Master asked you to come here. Come to play with women..."
Jiao Si'er was sweating at that time. He was thinking in his heart, could it be that Sun Sanhu also knew the information about Xiao Letian's private soldiers? Is this deliberately testing me to see if I am loyal or not? No, these two foreigners have only been here for a few days. No matter how fast Sun Sanhu is, he can't easily reach into the foreigners' territory.
After thinking about it, Jiao Si'er decided to take a gamble, "Oh my grandpa, you really asked the right person. During this time, I discovered a lot of flaws in Xiao Letian. First of all, his guards are not good people. It is against the royal law to shave your head, and I have found out their background clearly, they are just a group of bandits..."
"When Xiao Letian first came to the Qing Dynasty, he was kidnapped by bandits in the Taihang Mountains. Later, he somehow managed to become a family. These bandits were actually escorted by Xiao Letian... and this Lotte Matheson Company, It is definitely a smuggling business. Now in Mantanggu City, Fan Lian has the most contact with foreigners. If there was no smuggling, I would dig out my eyeballs and use them as glass ball bullets for you...
Before Jiao Si'er could finish his words, he saw Sun Sanhu's shot, which sounded like lightning and made a crisp ear-scratcher. "Damn it, you old pig and dog, how dare you tease me?"
"What kind of bullshit information do you have? Those bandits in the palace have known it for a long time, and they still use you to gossip? As for the smugglers, why don't you go out and take a look. Is there any foreign businessman on the street who doesn't smuggle? I understand. Yes, did you let Xiao Letian bribe you?"
Sun Sanhu grabbed Jiao Si's collar and lifted him up from the ground. Jiao Si'er's face turned pale with fright, "Master Sun Mingjian, Master Sun Mingjian, how many days have I seen Xiao Letian? How many days has he been back home? You can give me some time, please give me more time... …”
Sun Sanhu's hand shook, and Jiao Si'er fell directly to the door of the box. "Remember this, work hard for the master, and don't forget your identity. And your latest mission is to contact the people around Xiao Letian, and finally It's a good idea to instigate a few rebels. Hmm... I see that the man named Wang Huaiyuan has a serious face and is not a quick-thinking person. You can give him a try..."
"No problem, I'm going to try it right away. I will definitely work hard for my master. I will definitely..."
Jiao Si covered his face and walked out of the meat shop. He was so angry in his heart, "You are so stupid that you have no ability, so you just know how to suppress us. If you have the guts, you can do it yourself. Aren't you afraid of Xiang Shaolong? Xiao Letian's men are easy to bribe. Well, a guy like this who dares to build a private army must have a good way of winning over people, and he can still make you instigate rebellion?"
Thinking of this, Jiao Si'er looked back in the direction of Letian Yangxing, and said with great grievance, "Xiao Letian, I got a slap in the face for keeping your secret. I will bear this debt on your head." Come on, next time you want me to shut up, you have to give me some money, I don’t have a big appetite and one million eight hundred thousand taels of silver is enough."
Just when Jiao Si, who looked forward to getting rich, was heading back to the Xiao family mansion against the northwest wind, Xiao Letian from Xiaowangzhuang had just had lunch. Big chunks of stewed meat, Shao Knife wine, and white-flour steamed buns are so delicious that everyone in the village is eating meat. Even during the Chinese New Year, it’s not so lively.
The village chief and the elders drank with Xiao Letian. They were completely impressed now that a big man like Xiao Letian could sit beside them without any pretense, chatting about homely things and drinking local wine. His whole body was actually full of energy. There was no disdain at all, which moved the villagers very much.
At the dinner table, many people had their thoughts on their minds. If an adult like Xiao Letian buys our land, it shouldn't be harmful to others. How about I sell the land? Anyway, I was given double the price, which was fair enough. I would later ask the Lord to arrange a job in the city. Why wouldn't it be better than farming?
Xiao Letian has already seen the loosening of will in everyone's eyes, and knows that people's hearts have been shaken, and now they are just short of a final kick. This is a clever move, and must be mastered.
"Mr. Xiao, you have been very kind to us, and we should not be ungrateful. But we also have difficulties. This land has been passed down for generations. If we sell it, we are afraid of being stabbed in the back by people from all over the country. Besides, , there are so many rumors about the industrial zone in the market, and we are really scared..." Finally, the old village chief spoke.
Xiao Letian picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come on, come on, drink. Didn't I say before? Now you can just rest and recover and get through this epidemic. We can talk about the land sale later..."
"But today, old man, you brought it up, so I'll just say a few words. You all say that it's hard to leave your homeland, but you can also see the great changes in Tanggu City in the past few years. Since the foreign merchants came to this flood and drought wharf, then But the prosperity has more than doubled..."
"Xiaowangzhuang is very close to the city. Which of the men and women in the village has not worked part-time in Tanggu City? You can tell me, do you think your income from working is more than your income from farming? You guys , it’s just an old concept that cannot be changed..."
Everyone nodded to what Xiao Letian said. After a year of digging in the soil, you can only make a living. Working in the city is where you get real money. Golden copper plates and shiny foreign money are in front of you like the water of the sea and rivers. Floating by, who can't see it?
Huang Juren, who died before, said that his family had thousands of hectares of land, but in fact, he made a lot of money by leasing land and warehouses to businessmen. None of this can be hidden from the eyes of the people. What everyone is worried about is tradition. Due to the blockade of the small-scale peasant economy, farmers in ancient China had already developed a habit of refusing to change.
"As for the rumors about monsters and monsters you mentioned, I don't even bother to refute them. I have dealt with a lot of foreigners overseas, and you have met a lot of them over the years. Who has seen them eating children? Who has seen them using imps? It's all nonsense. Superstition, I can only say that it will change people's hearts over time..."
During the entire banquet, Xiao Letian did not use his status to suppress the people, nor did he lie to the people with his talk. He just quietly explained the truth one by one, and everyone nodded in admiration. After he was full of wine and food, Xiao Letian took a look outside the window and was amused at that time.
Poor Huang Xiucai was chopping firewood under the supervision of a group of children. Two government servants were drinking rice wine and supervising him at the back. This unlucky guy was so cold that his nose had runny noses and snot flew into his mouth. Ichijou, this Huang Liu is really disgusting. r405
