Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 61 Shadow of the Empire

   "Hey, Lord Bai Hu, you haven't come to listen to the show some days, please raise your foot and ask, what kind of tea can I have?"

   "Jasmine tea, I like this refreshing fragrance."

  "Hole, the distinguished guest will make a pot of jasmine tea, please take a seat upstairs."

  Cha Xiaoer of Liyuan Theater was very eye-catching, turned around and shouted loudly into the hall, leading the way diligently.

  The burly Li Baihu brought the pregnant white woman Shi Shiran upstairs. In the theater, he met the bosses of Hongmen all the way, and they all clasped their fists and gave salutes. Let alone this lively energy.

  He is a beautiful foreign girl with blond hair and blue eyes, and she is also very outstanding among a group of white women. Before Li Baihu, she was still a big girl with yellow flowers and she loved him very much.

  But that's all.

Before this age, I don’t know how many old-fashioned ideas are deeply ingrained in Chinese hearts. It’s always impossible to marry a foreign woman. When I am in the early days, I always want to marry a Chinese woman as the main house. The descendants are the roots of the Chinese. , So that you won’t be pointed at your spine, and you can be buried in your ancestral grave after death.

  What are foreigners called in this era?

  Green-haired ghost, ghost, foreign fan, fan-poor, or other messy appellations, do your best to belittle it.

  In the Qing Dynasty

  Ghost will always cause the onlookers to point and point, that is not envy, the words are full of derogatory meaning.

   "Oh, look at those green-haired ghosts, they look like monkeys, they look scary!"

   "Fanwai savages are also."

   "You don't know what to say, Xiucai, you are highly knowledgeable and give comments. Why do these Baiyang devils come to the border of our Qing Dynasty?"

  "It must be the admiration of Chinese customs, the feeling of reverence, and the pilgrimage to the holy scriptures not far away, listening to the teachings of the Holy Master, and enlightening the people after returning, it is also a great merit!"

   "Well, this is what your scholar said, it is a blessing that can't be cultivated in eight lifetimes. It's time for these foreign devils to turn their luck."

  Look, this is how ordinary people perceive foreigners, and in their bones there is still a sense of superiority in the heavens.

  It is estimated that Mr. Xiucai has also read too many novels, and it is pure fun to treat foreigners as grandson monkeys from the West.

Li Baihu drank two cups of tea in the Yafang, the door curtain was lifted, Li Heihu walked in with his good brother Geng Wanbiao, nodded and said hello, then sat down on the stool and picked up the tea on the table. "Guru Guru" filled a large glass.

  "Big Brother, Brother Wan Biao took his team on patrol, and you know who you met in the area of ​​Guitouling in the upper reaches of Baixi?"

   "Nonsense, how can I know."

   "Guess what?"

   "You are a foolish guess, just tell me who you met?"

  "Hehehe...It's Birken the wolf."

"Oh!"

Li Baihu frowned. The white gangster who is known for his brutality has not been seen for more than half a year. I heard that he was killed from Queensland through South Wales to Victoria. He committed countless crimes on the 2,000-kilometer distance, and his brutal notoriety became louder. NS.

   even dared to break into the Victorian State House, killing and injuring many people all the way, just to find a British guy who spit on him to settle accounts, and kill him in the office, with 11 bullets in his body.

  In view of his frenzied and frenzied crimes, "Wild Wolf" Birken's reward increased to £1,000, and he was hailed as Australia's most daring and brutal bandit leader ever.

  Unexpectedly, this **** is back.

  "Brother Wanbiao, are you sure it is Birken the wolf."

  "You have a hundred hearts on the management team. It's this villain. I was very impressed at the Dennis Gold Mine. This **** was very poisonous, even if it was burnt to ashes, I recognize it."

  "Are there any conflicts between the two parties?"

   "No, I was patrolling the border of the ranch with 30 strong young men on the cavalry team. They were all heavily armed to prevent white people from attacking. At that time, there were only seven or eight people around Bill the Wolf. He quickly slipped away when he saw us."

  Li Baihu groaned and said; “This matter is very important, and it must be reported to the big leader for decision-making immediately. If the brutal wolf is hired by a white man, we will be in great trouble.”

  The name of the person, the shadow of the tree.

  Don’t look at the wild wolf, don’t look at there are only seven or eight bandits around, who knows how many there are in the dark?

  If this force were to cause destruction in the Red River Valley, it would surely cause people to panic. There is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against thieves.

   "Big brother said that this can only be held by the elites of the executive hall. Anyway, what is the big brother asking for us this time?"

  Li Heihu is also a little bit guilty of this notorious villain in his heart. White gangsters are extremely cruel, but this kind of purely murderous pleasure and unscrupulous cruelty to civilians is really rare and extremely dangerous.

  Li Baihu did not answer positively, and said; “Well, you must also know about the two hall master He of the outer four halls and Zhou Dahui of the green dragon team.”

   "No one knows this, hehehe..."

Li Heihu and Geng Wanbiao couldn’t help but laughed, and Geng Wanbiao rushed to answer and said; “These two big brothers love their wives, and they smashed the big dragon head to build a Catholic church, and the big dragon head said; since these two love their wives so much, they stay at home. There are more women to accompany them. As a result, these two obediently handed over their duties and stayed in the main hall to be decorated welcoming elders. Now there is a lot of time to accompany the women."

   "You don't know, these two newly married women in the Red Fort, stood up as the main house, and regained the trust of the big leader." Li Baihu's news was even better.

   "Oh, brother, when is this?"

   "It's only about a week."

   "Then...the mind of the big dragon..." Li Heihu asked tentatively, but Li Baihu's stern look was drawn, and suddenly he closed his mouth quickly.

  Li Baihu glanced at the woman next to her, stood up and whispered a few words, let the white lady just watch the play and have fun, regardless of whether she could understand it, all she wanted was the excitement.

  Then, led the two brothers to the tea room next door to talk privately.

  After sitting down, he switched to the native dialect of Northwest Guangdong;

"Wan Biao and we are all good brothers from the same town. A group of people don’t talk to each other. Look at how the white people around you treat the Chinese. The old brothers at the Victoria Gold Mine in the past are really miserable. .

  The big dragon head is the backbone of our Chinese people. It has supported us a lot of sky. Only by respecting the big dragon head can we have a good life. You don't even know the truth.

   Tens of thousands of people, large and small, in the Red River Valley, all pointed to the big dragon head to eat.

  The big dragon head pretends to have our Chinese brothers in his heart. Life is a little better, so he blatantly gives everyone a salary increase and money.

  Many big guys in the door have complained about this. The big leader eliminated the criticism and made it more spacious. The plan is to reach that in three years..."

  "Equal pay for equal work."

   "Yes, it's equal pay to white people for equal work. Isn't the big guy feeling warm in his heart?"

   "Does that still need to be said? No one in the Red River Valley dared to say nothing to the big dragon head. Whoever dared to speak falsely would kill him every minute."

  This is not nonsense, Li Fushou is now in the Chinese people's prestige, and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

  The old **** Li Baihu nodded his head, suddenly throwing a shocking topic; "So, do you think the white man will let him go?"

  Li Heihu and Geng Wanbiao shook together, and they were speechless for a while, looking at the look on their faces, they had a premonition, but they didn't say anything.

   "One night half a year ago, the big dragon head led all the brothers of the left and right guards to kill to Brisbane. Although this matter finally fell silent, can it be said that there is no trouble, the always arrogant British can bear this bad breath?"

  Under Li Baihu's repeated questioning, the other two shook their heads solemnly.

  British guys and Chinese gold diggers have a deep understanding of what virtues, that is the naked double standard, bullying and exploitation are not discussed.

In the 17th to 19th centuries, the British Empire adopted an unrelenting iron-and-blood strategy against crime. There were 249 crimes in line with the death penalty. Theft of a baguette worth 9p, the standard of punishment was 7 to 14 years of exile, the primary destination This is North America.

  After the independence of North America, the convict exile in the British Isles became the vast Australian continent.

  The British brutally suppressed internally and expanded wildly externally. They started an endless colonial war and formed a territory of a sunless empire spreading all over the world, covering an area of ​​33 million square kilometers, belonging to the most glorious Victorian era since the great voyage.

  It won’t take long

  The British Empire will also successively launch colonial wars to conquer Egypt, Afghanistan and South Africa, spread the brilliance of the empire on the colonial land covering an area of ​​34 million square kilometers, embarking on a true peak.

  Under the surface of the English gentleman’s polite gentleman, what hides is the arrogant and arrogant, cold rejection, selfish and mean nature, and will never tolerate a Chinese bug to provoke the glory of the empire.

  Thinking about it with extreme fear, the room fell into deathly silence.

  The shadow of the British empire with a far-reaching reputation enveloped the three present. Feeling the pressure on their shoulders, the people who were pressed almost couldn't breathe.

  A moment of silence

   "After serious consideration, I am going to step down from the post of the Qinglong team and go to the Red Fort to marry a wife in the house." Li Baihu's words were shocking again.

"what……"

Li Heihu couldn't help screaming, and when he realized something was wrong, he quickly lowered his voice and said; "Brother, I don't object to you marrying a woman in the Red Fort. I can still afford the position, but why did I resign from the position of the chief management team? I don’t understand."

  Li Baihu did not answer his brother's words, but turned his gaze to Geng Wanbiao, his expression revealing the meaning of exploration.

  Geng Wanbiao is also a capable cadre of the Qinglong team. He manages a team of more than 200 people, and also controls a capable mobile team of more than 30 people.

The    district team is nothing more. There are more than 10 district teams under the entire Qinglong team, all composed of idle gold diggers, and the common identity is the Hongmen disciple.

  These team members gather in a section to take care of each other when they pan for gold on weekdays, so as not to be bullied by white gold diggers.

  The lean mobile squad is different. The largest Qinglong team is close to 2000, and there are only three mobile squads, all of which are carefully selected and daring to fight and fight, all of which add up to no more than a hundred people.

  Big management team Li Baihu has one in his hand, team deputy Li Heihu has one, and the remaining one is in the hands of Geng Wanbiao, which shows the closeness of the relationship.

The mobile squad is responsible for the military force of the entire Blue Dragon team. It provides horses and firearms to protect the safe entry and exit of the two thousand people. On weekdays, there is no need to go to the river to pan for gold. A fixed income of 1 pound and 4 shillings is paid every month. There is a reward from the main hall.

  The other red, yellow, green, blue, and purple Seven-Colored Dragon Brigades are similar. The gathered elite can reach a thousand people. They are all elite and sturdy men who have been trained by German instructors for a long time and can fight on horseback.
