"That's true. If we don't catch up, we are likely to be destroyed by the Japanese kingdom." Zhao Shouhong's words made everyone's faces change.

Seeing everyone's faces, Zhao Shouhong suddenly laughed and said, "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although this kind of militarism develops rapidly, its sequelae are also very serious. Don't look at Jin and Luocha, who once again occupied Goryeo, but their own foundation is no longer stable. In order to start a war with Rakshasa, Wa issued a huge amount of war bonds in Sar and White Eagle, causing more than half of their current government income to pay interest on these bonds. It can be said Now the country of Wa has once again reached a point where it is about to collapse."

Chapter 373 Huang Bin's Intention

"So, the Wa Kingdom is going to attack Hualan again?" Qin Zhongyi said anxiously from the side.

"Not in the past two years, but it will be hard to say in the future." Zhao Shouhong said: "However, given the current development of the Wa Kingdom, launching a war is an inevitable result."

"So, wouldn't it be good if Hualan also developed like this?" Chen Zhen asked.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "I don't advocate this kind of extreme development model. It's like a gambler who has to put all his net worth every time he loses. It will be forever. Anyone who gambles knows that if there is no winner in a long-term gamble, the Wa Kingdom will eventually fail, and once it fails, there is no possibility of turning around." Zhao Shouhong's words made everyone nod repeatedly.

"Okay, now is not the time for us to analyze these situations. The Wa country can't threaten us for the time being. What we need most is to pay attention to the domestic situation, and first strengthen ourselves to be invincible. The enemy can be defeated." Zhao Shouhong ended the topic with a wave of his hand.

"Master Zhao is driven, and Huo will follow his orders. As long as the country can be strengthened and the people will not be bullied by foreigners, I am willing to put life and death aside." Huo Yuanjia stood up to express his determination.

After Zhao Shouhong said so much, he just wanted to make everyone feel a sense of urgency. Now Huo Yuanjia directly expressed his position, which made him very satisfied. "Huo Daxia is serious. So far, it has not reached the point where we throw our heads and blood. As long as everyone can cooperate with me and do their own work well, I believe it is not difficult to deal with the Japanese country."

"My lord, please tell me." Qin Zhongyi cupped his hands and said.

Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and asked the guards to close the gate, then he said in a low voice: "The people present here are not outsiders, so I will no longer cover up. According to my estimation, there must be riots in the country within this year. I hope everyone can cooperate with me and try to preserve the vitality of the country. We don’t care how the revolutionary party makes troubles, as long as we keep our own territory and continue to develop, we will eventually be able to fight against Japan.”

"Okay, as long as the master agrees, I will immediately go to Zhongchuan to help my lord train soldiers." Chen Zhen immediately cupped his hands.

"I'm willing to go too." Liu Qingshun cupped his hands.

"And me." Huo Dongge was not far behind.

Huo Yuanjia said with a smile: "My disciples and sons have the same temper as mine, and they are very responsible for the country's crisis. If you don't abandon them, please accept them."

"Great, with the help of the three of you, the strength of our Sichuan Army will increase just around the corner." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

Huo Yuanjia nodded: "As for me, I'm not too young, so I'll stay here in the Luchaogang Industrial Zone and continue to coach the factory guard team."

"In the future, I will have to rely on Huo Daxia here. I will let you know in advance. Once the country is overthrown, I will not give up on the surrounding area of ​​Guanghai City." In my hands, I will send troops over as soon as possible."

"I will be fully prepared to take control of the entire Guanghai City as soon as the army arrives." Qin Zhongyi expressed his determination.

"This is the best way, I will help you replenish your combat power." Zhao Shouhong turned to Huo Yuanjia and said, "I hope Master Huo can help you a lot then."

"Huo is naturally obliged," Huo Yuanjia said, cupping his hands.

After discussing with Huo Yuanjia, Zhao Shouhong took Liu Qingshun, Chen Zhen and Huo Dongge away.As Huo Yuanjia's eldest disciple, Liu Qingshun was hired as the chief martial arts instructor of the Sichuan Army to train the fighters in fighting skills, mainly the stabbing skills he had honed out of spear skills.

Chen Zhen voluntarily joined the special combat division. His fighting style, which was born out of Huojiaquan but with a sense of martial arts, was just suitable for special fighters who could kill with one blow.Huo Dongge was charged with revitalizing his family. Zhao Shouhong arranged for him to go to Shudu to open the first branch of Jingwumen in Zhongchuan, allowing him to communicate with many famous martial arts masters in Sichuan. Hualan's martial arts were lost in later generations.

A month later, Huang Bin finally couldn't sit still. Due to the failure of the Guangdong Uprising, there were many discordant voices within the Gongxinghui.Zhang Taiyan and Tao Chengzhang expressed their opposition to Sun Wenhai, and the Gongjinhui also began to alienate the Gongxinghui. The entire Gongxinghui may fall apart at any time.At this time, Sun Wenhai was still in the White Eagle Country, so Huang Bin, a high-level person who was enough to frighten the situation, had no choice but to come forward.

The wound on his hand was just healed, so Huang Bin discussed that he should leave with someone who was not injured or who was already healed.Hearing that Huang Bin and others were going to leave, Zhao Shouhong took Qin Zhongyi and others to see them off to the port, and those Gongxing members whose injuries had not recovered reluctantly came to see them off.

"This time Xu Songgen, Xu Ying'an, Xu Shaoliang, Xu Lianhui, Xu Baosheng, Li Yannan, Hu Yingsheng, Lin Juemin, you eight will go back with me, and the rest will stay in Guanghai City to recuperate. I believe Master Zhao will take good care of them."

"Yes." Most people nodded to express their willingness to go back, only Lin Juemin's expression was a little unnatural: "Can I stay?"

"Stay here? Juemin, aren't you the most eager to return home? Now we are going to Japan first, and then transfer to Nanyang to continue preparing for the next uprising. Why don't you leave now." Huang Bin said in surprise.

Lin Juemin blushed: "I am worried about the injured comrades. I plan to stay and take care of them. I will go to you when everyone is well. I think I can catch up with the uprising."

Huang Bin didn't suspect him, but thought that Lin Juemin was worried about his friend Yu Peilun's injury, so he nodded immediately and said, "That's fine, you can stay and take care of Peilun, let's contact by letter. You don't have to send far away, let's leave now, thank you Master Zhao's care, we will meet later."

"Brother Huang Bin, take care. I have sent someone to secretly bury the corpses of 72 martyrs who can be subdued by the Guangdong Uprising in Huanghuagang. This is the burial place and personnel list. Now hand it over to Brother Huang Bin for future generations to pay tribute to." Zhao Shouhong handed a notebook to Huang Bin.

Holding the thin notepad, Huang Bin felt the weight of the weight. He nodded to Zhao Shouhong and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your kindness. Gong Xing will be grateful. In the future, if you are driven, Huang Xing will definitely do his best." can."

"Brother Huang Bin is serious. This is a cashier's check of [-] Japanese yen. It can be exchanged at any branch of Zhengjin Bank. You should bring it too." Zhao Shouhong took out another cashier's check and handed it over.

"No, thank you for taking care of me for many days, it's already very troublesome, how can I still ask for money." Huang Bin tried his best to evade.

"Brother Huang Bin, stop arguing. You need to have living expenses when you go to Japan, and the rest will be regarded as my donation for the revolution." Zhao Shouhong forced the promissory note into Huang Xing's hand, held his hand and said: "When the revolution is victorious, I will wait for you and Mr. Wenhai in Zhongchuan."

Chapter 374 Shen Shoukun's Warning

"When the revolution is victorious, I will definitely go and have a look." Huang Bin replied with a smile. After observing these days, he already understood that Zhao Shouhong was really thinking about the country.

"Goodbye, take care all the way." Zhao Shouhong smiled and let go of Huang Bin's hand.

"Goodbye, everyone." After boarding the ship, Huang Bin and the few people who walked with him waved frequently to the people who were seeing them off.

With the whine of the whistle, the passenger ship slowly left the pier.Watching the ship go away, Yu Peilun, who was sitting in a wheelchair because of his injuries, waved his hand and let the guards pushing him push him to Lin Juemin's side.Looking at Lin Juemin who was still in a daze, Yu Peilun sighed and said, "Why don't you tell Brother Huang Bin directly, I think he will understand."

"What should I say, tell him that I want to join the Vanguard Party and leave the Gongxing Society?" Lin Juemin shook his head and said, "It hurts too much. Few of the people I want to stay are unable to leave because of their serious injuries. Bar."

"That's true." Yu Peilun rubbed his chin and said, "Since I read the party constitution, I feel that I have figured out things that I haven't figured out for many years. Many of the theories are indeed very practical. Maybe we can have a bigger goal in Zhongchuan. develop."

"It's really my blessing that all comrades have recognized me. With all of you participating in this grand event, the growth of Zhongchuan is just around the corner." Zhao Shouhong said.

"I said that Chairman Zhao is his own person, so there is no need to speak so politely." Yu Peilun laughed.

"Alright, let's heal your injuries first, and then start assigning your work." Zhao Shouhong waved his hand.

Zhao Shouhong came to Guanghai City this time because of Lin Juemin and others. Originally, Zhao Shouhong wanted to influence Huang Bin, and it was best for him to join the Vanguard Party.But Huang Bin has a responsibility to his friend Sun Wenhai, he must go back to stabilize the overall situation, and Zhao Shouhong is not easy to keep.

With Lin Juemin and others, plus Liu Qingshun and other three brothers, they boarded the riverboat again.It was already mid-July at this time, and the horn of the Revolution of [-] was about to sound. This was the last time they drove on the Longjiang River that belonged to the post-Jin Dynasty.

Also driving on the Longjiang River is Liu Guanxiong, commander of the Jiangfang Fleet.These days, he has been leading the gunboat troop to cruise on the big river. While training troops, the fleet escorted the freighter fleet. At the same time, he used plumb iron chains to measure the water depth of various places and drew a complete hydrographic map of the Yangtze River.

Liu Guanxiong was at the stern of the ship, commanding two sailors to measure the water depth with plumb weights, when suddenly he heard the captain shout: "Commander, Mr. Shen's ship is approaching."

"Master Shen?" Liu Guanxiong frowned slightly, and then he handed over the hydrographic map in his hand to the first officer and said, "You guys continue to measure, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Liu Guanxiong walked quickly to the bow of the ship, only to see Shen Shoukun, commander of the imperial court's Longjiang Fleet, commanding his flagship destroyer Feiying, approaching Liu Guanxiong's No. [-] gunboat. "Brother Shen is so leisurely, why did you think of coming to my boat?" Before the two boats came together, Liu Guanxiong joked with a smile.

"You still dare to make fun of me. You guys have gone too far recently. Turning around on the river every day, can you think I'm blind? This is a warship. If you build a fleet without permission, it can be a crime of treason to be sued to the court. "Shen Shoukun jumped onto the deck of A-[-] and said angrily.

Liu Guanxiong smiled and said: "How is it possible? With Brother Shen taking care of him, can something happen? Besides, we are just escorts, and we haven't done anything out of the ordinary." Liu Guanxiong said and handed over a cigarette.

Shen Shoukun took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Golden monkey cigarettes with filter tips, it's better for you to serve as soldiers in Zhongchuan. You can use everything. Look at us living like beggars, not like the imperial navy."

"To be honest, you Longjiang Fleet wouldn't have come so far, has something happened recently?" Liu Guanxiong asked as he stuffed the whole pack of cigarettes into Shen Shoukun's hand.

"You don't know. The two plains are not stable recently, which makes us patrol the river to prevent the revolutionaries from causing trouble. In fact, we are just a psychological comfort. Could it be that if the revolutionaries rise up, can we still go ashore to fight?" Shen Shoukun Shaking his head, he said, "It's just that I have to do a job in front of this errand. When all the coal in this year's share is burned out, I will go back to Hangzhou Bay to live."

"Speaking of which, you are still free. Look at me. I haven't been on land for almost half a month." Liu Guanxiong said with a smile: "I haven't showered for half a month. I can't bear the smell myself."

"Forget it, don't stand up and talk without back pain. If I have such a generous military salary as you, let me go to be a sailor." Shen Shoukun shook his head and said, "You have high morale, but we are just dawdling. Look at your Although the warship is smaller, the artillery and steam engines are all brand new. Look at my flagship. Although it is about half the size of your ship, the machinery has not been replaced for a long time. It is only because of the busy work of the engineers that the ship can barely move. , I went from Longjiangkou to Jiangyin, and the motor stopped three times, once there was a war, it would be of no use."

Without waiting for Liu Guanxiong to speak again, Shen Shoukun waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving, remember to ask your people to be cautious when measuring the water depth, so that no one will report to the higher authorities. If you come to me, you must stop me. If the news reaches Sa Jun door or even the governor, there is nothing I can do." Saying that, Shen Shoukun walked to his boat.
