Dominate the Country

Moergeng'e, whose surname was Guaerjia, his father was Eldenbao, who left a little name in the late Qing Dynasty.

Eldenbao, who was born in the Manchu Zhenghuang Banner and had been a pearl household in Jilin for generations, was once a general under Hailancha. Although he was inferior to Fukang'an, he was as famous as Delentai, Helin and others. The only difference was that he lived long enough, unlike Delentai who died a little early. Eldenbao was the commander of Yongsheng's guards. In the final battle of Yakutsk, because the Jiaqing Emperor Yongsheng of the Qing Dynasty was betrayed by Alessandro, the adjutant of the former Russian Governor-General of the Amur River, Baron Falaleyev, and later the liaison officer between Russia and Qing Dynasty, he and three or four hundred guards died on the banks of the Lena River. Eldenbao died in that battle.

Because Eldenbao died late, his official title when he died was the Minister of the Imperial Guard of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, which was a first-rank official title. At the same time, he also wore a marquis' hat on his head, so Morgen'e had some weight and status in the Zongshe Party of the remnant Qing Dynasty, especially in terms of force and action.

Now as Pitt's deputy, he came all the way from London to China and met with Woshina as soon as possible.

When the British wanted to privately organize an elite squad, Morgen'e was originally the first candidate for the Zongshe Party, but he "gave" it to Woshina. In the following years, Woshina's status in the Zongshe Party rose sharply. No matter what Morgen'e thought at the time, Woshina was grateful to Morgen'e.

This gratitude does not come from the rise of internal status, but also because it makes Woshine feel his own value, that is, to fight Chen Han with real swords and guns. If a fly lands on your feet, it will be disgusting if it is not dirty to death, right?

Woshine looks down on all those useless people who live in Europe and wait for death. If you say that there are all kinds of birds in this forest, the Zongshe Party is not all bent on disgusting Chen Han.

In this organization, there are many factions, such as the East and West factions, which refer to the Emperor Jiaqing Yongsheng in the east, and the West refers to Prince Zhi Yongrong. In addition to these two factions, there are also a large number of neutral factions. And each faction can be roughly divided into four categories. The first is the radical faction, of which Woshine is a representative; the second is the stable faction, of which Morgeng'e is one; the third is the overseas faction, which is to develop overseas and think that counterattacking the Central Plains and reviving the Qing Dynasty is nonsense, and it is better to live honestly in Europe. This is the overseas faction. The most vocal opponents of the radicals are the overseas faction; however, in terms of their own intentions, the overseas faction is not the most extreme. The most extreme are the fourth type of people in the Zhongshe Party - the indifferent faction, who do not care about any actions and only focus on their own lives.

It stands to reason that this type of people is the most hated by the radicals, but strangely, the radicals always stare at the overseas faction. The reason is that the latter are indifferent to everything in the Zhongshe Party, so naturally they do not fight for power and have no sense of existence. There are always people who fight for interests when factions fight with each other.

This face-slapping action is a joint effort of the radicals and the prudent faction, and the overseas faction has also provided some help, such as funds and connections with Western businessmen.

In fact, this overseas force has sought to assassinate Chen Ming more than once or twice. When Chen Ming went out for inspection, they were haunting him. Unfortunately, who is Chen Ming? He was the emperor of the Chen Han Empire. Looking at the Chinese emperors of all dynasties, which emperor of a powerful dynasty was assassinated? The emperors of China were not as easy to kill as those in the Western world.

Bolang did not kill Qin Shihuang with one blow. The power of the Zongshe Party in China was far less than that of the six kingdoms, and Chen Ming's consideration of security was much more meticulous than that of Qin Shihuang. The Zongshe Party relied on money to recruit a group of desperate criminals, but it was useless. The defense around the emperor was very strict, and there was no chance to attack. On the contrary, they were exposed several times because of the underworld habits of those desperate criminals. In the early years, they were chased by the national security and the police.

Many of the forces left by the Qing Dynasty on the mainland were destroyed because of this.

Later, the Zongshe Party, who had learned their lesson, began to plan to establish their own armed organization, but they were useless in military terms, and the British would not let their dogs become wolves. It was not until the British also had this plan and were ready to cause trouble for the Chinese government that the two sides hit it off.

Therefore, this action is of great significance, because for the first time, this is the first time that all the members of the action team are well-trained elites. But no matter how elite these people are, they can't touch Chen Ming's shadow. This action is just a slap in the face!

The British don't have the ambitions of the Japanese Yamaguchi Ryuichi, the Italian Li Andong and others to dare to bombard Tiananmen Square.

Of course, this gunshot is not the British's overall plan. The explosion is the best choice to slap China in the face. Of course, if you can take the opportunity to kill a few people on the viewing platform, it is worth it to leave the entire action team in China.

"Our target is not the old thief Chen Ming, the common people are the real target." Woshine can't forget the words he heard from Pete.

...

As time went by, the martial law in Nanjing became more and more tense. More and more soldiers and police appeared in the streets and alleys, and patrol booths appeared at many crossroads and prosperous roads. It can be said that the number of military and police in the whole city of Nanjing has increased by more than one level compared with before. The bugle sounded, and the gate of the Imperial Guard camp was slowly opened with a "creaking" sound. The red flag flying on the playground and the rising sun complemented each other, and the whole city of Nanjing woke up from its slumber.

It was not long after dawn, but the military and police on duty had already taken their positions. A bridgehead by the Qinhuai River, this is a newly added checkpoint. In the early morning, vegetable vendors and farmers have already come to the checkpoint with their loads and carts.

There have been many more floating populations in Nanjing recently. No one knows how many people there are. People from all directions have flocked to Nanjing, and there are many places that have formed groups to enter Beijing. Roughly speaking, there are hundreds of thousands. Many of these people have a lot of money in their pockets, so their consumption capacity is unusually high. This makes the vegetable farmers and vendors around Nanjing rich. However, as time goes by, the inspections in Nanjing are getting stricter and stricter. Whether they enter or leave Nanjing, their personal belongings must be strictly inspected by the military and police on duty. Even the manure carts of the city guards must be opened for the soldiers to take a look. And the inspecting soldiers all hold an extra-large magnet in their hands. This is definitely a world-leading inspection method. But it has caused a lot of trouble for some people!

This is a necessary precautionary measure for Nanjing. It is already November, and the countdown to the grand ceremony is about to begin. The alert level of Nanjing has been raised to the highest level. Not only must they be inspected by the checkpoints when entering and leaving the city, but even if they are wandering on the street, they may be questioned by the patrol team.

During this period of time, the most important thing for Woshine, Morgen'e, Monkey, Pete and others is to ensure their personal safety. Don't fall into the hands of the military and police at this time.

Their big framework has been established, and they only need to improve it a little bit, and then quietly wait for the opportunity.

One day.

Peter was meeting with Morgen, Woshine, Jin Yongtai and others. Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a person rushed in from outside. It was Peter's personal bodyguard Aticha. This is a Siamese, a Thai boxing master. He is twenty-five or twenty-six years old and at his peak.

After entering the door, Aticha ran straight to Peter, whispered a few words in Peter's ear, and then hurriedly left the conference room. Then, Peter, whose face suddenly turned cold, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, I just got the news that the military and police near us are under martial law." To be honest, Peter's heart was about to jump at this moment. The Chinese have always punished foreign spies severely and strictly. If he is caught by the Chinese, he will most likely lose his head. And the London government will not say a word for him.

It's not Peter's fault that he thought too much. They were in a meeting, but the military and police suddenly imposed martial law nearby. Peter had a hundred reasons to think that there was a hateful traitor among them.

A pair of gray-blue eyes scanned everyone present sharply. At this time, Aticha also walked into the meeting room with a few people. Each of them had a bulge in his waist and looked at the people in front of him like a wolf.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was instantly cold, just like a group of low-pressure cold air from the Arctic Ocean swept here, and the whole room was frozen in an instant.

After Peter finished speaking, everyone held their breath and concentrated. They didn't have guns. Even if someone really informed, Peter could drag them all down before the military and police rushed in. At this time, several gunshots suddenly came from outside.

"Pah"

"Bang! Bang!"

The crisp gunshots and the dull gunshots were mixed together. Although it was difficult to distinguish what kind of guns they were, the people in the conference room immediately determined that the gunshots came from the community next door to them. The distance was very close, but it was definitely not the same community.

Hearing the gunshots so close, the conference room suddenly became a little agitated, but the atmosphere was no longer as cold and frozen. Even Pete's face showed a smile. Aticha quickly turned out of the door, and returned a moment later to whisper in Pete's ear.

"Don't panic!" Pete waved his hands to comfort everyone.

"The gunshots came from the community next door to us. Haha, it was a false alarm, a false alarm. Everyone should be calm now, don't rush to leave, and see the situation first. This place is still very spacious. I also have poker, mahjong, chess, and go here. You can play here for a while with peace of mind..." At least wait until the battle next door is over and see the situation first.

Also not far away, in a hotel on the street, a banquet was being held.

This was a banquet held by a not-so-famous foreign trade company, and the guests were also European business partners who had just arrived.

Just opposite the community where Pete and his friends were hiding, there was laughter and cheers in the hall. And upstairs in this hotel, five or six waiters were carrying large and small suitcases to deliver to the guests' rooms.

The boss of the foreign trade company naturally attended in person, and the hotel also prepared a wealth of ingredients for the banquet. In addition to some vegetables and fruits, the hotel also got the best steaks, fresh tuna, lobsters, oysters and other seafood, in addition to the best wine available on the market, which can be said to have been thought out.

"Philip, does that mean your family owns 3,000 acres of cotton plantations in India? This is a valuable asset." The boss asked his business partner's friend softly.

This is a person who came to China with his friends. Of course, this is just a nominal statement.

"Yes. The war in India is endless now, and people can't see the moment of stopping. The price of plantations is generally falling. And the cotton market is not as good as it used to be." Philip raised his hand and said. The reason why his family was able to get 3,000 acres of plantations from India in one fell swoop was largely because the plantations in India were depreciating.

"Friend. My grandfather was originally a businessman who came to China to do business. At that time, he was just the youngest son of a noble family without inheritance rights. But fifty years later, with his wisdom and courage, he successfully made us gain social recognition. The plantation in India is only part of our family's assets. But if things don't change, this plantation will eventually be inherited by me.

I need to turn the cotton in the plantation into lovely banknotes. After all, I need to feed myself and the more than 30 slaves." Philip put down the fork in his hand and continued, "I don't plan to learn from my uncle. He used the wool produced by his ranch in Ireland to open a woolen mill in Liverpool to produce some cloth, stockings and gloves, but unfortunately the profit was limited.

In recent years, your woolen textile industry in China has become more and more developed.

For the plantation in India, my father and I prefer to change this plantation into a sugarcane, cocoa or tobacco plantation. After all, these are the scarce goods and can make the most profit for the family." But before changing the crop, Philip still needs to find a generous buyer for the cotton that has been harvested this year.

"What? Your family is going to give up cotton planting?" The boss was delighted. The market for cotton has not been good in recent years. Who can blame the cotton in the northwest for growing so well? But tobacco and sugar cane are good things. According to government survey reports in recent years, domestic tobacco and sugar consumption have been steadily increasing. Three thousand acres is not a small area. If it is changed to a new production area, it will be much more valuable than a cotton planting industry.

The boss knew that his partner had brought Philip here to bridge the gap between the two sides. The boss had only thought it was a cotton plantation before, and was still muttering that the cotton business was not easy to do, but now things are easier.

"Sugar cane and tobacco are in great demand, and that's something anyone can see."

Philip looked at the Chinese boss in front of him very sincerely, "I hope we can establish a solid cooperative relationship and become true friends. Don't let unnecessary external factors delay us from making money." The external factors Philip mentioned are self-evident, that is, the deteriorating "friendship" between China and Britain.

But Philip always believed that there would be no real war between China and Britain. Even if China wanted to go to war, he thought Britain would back down.

It was because tea was so important to Britain.

The boss laughed, raised his glass, and said to Philip: "Then, let's toast to our future cooperation and friendship!"

"Haha, cheers! My friend."
