Chapter 2 Money and Talent (1)
Killing the scattered natives, Chen Hao, who returned to everyone, was stained with the blood of the natives, like a blood gourd, and his murderous aura was emitted all over his body that Luo Jun and the others dared not look directly at him.
Except for the three young people, everyone knelt in front of Chen Hao for their gratitude for saving their lives. Chen Hao helped Song Sicheng kneeling in front of him and said, "Don't be too polite. Everyone is Chinese. I was sent by the motherland to protect you. I'm late and let everyone suffer."
Chen Hao said this for a reason. Although he came to the Qing Dynasty now, he didn't know what era it was and he was in South Asia, he definitely needed to develop his own power. Now he said this to mean that he was sent from China, so that he could get the rapid recognition of the vast number of overseas Chinese, and no one would dare to jump out and compete with him for command. When he led them to win one victory after another in the future, they would not care where they came out. Although with his own abilities, he was not afraid of someone not being dissatisfied, since he could quickly gain the greatest support, why not do it!
Sure enough, when they heard that Chen Hao was sent from the country, everyone burst into tears and knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Many people shouted: "God, you have finally opened your eyes! Sir, you want to help us make the decision! These damn natives have killed so many relatives!" And the three young men who were just looking at Chen Hao in awe at first, and they quickly knelt down with an expression of ecstasy on their faces.
Only the smartest Song Sicheng felt strange. Why didn’t this adult leave his braid after he came out of China? And now he is too busy to take care of himself, so how could he send people to protect them, such as the abandoned people from overseas?
Chen Hao was looking at the strong man who had been fighting for more than 50 years. He saw the young man about 26 who had been helped up and kneeled down just now and raised his head and asked, "I wonder how many national soldiers lords have led to the third round of the country this time?"
Chen Hao's face remained calm and said lightly: "One, I'm the only one! Why? I can't save you?" Hearing that there was only one, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but when Chen Hao's invincible figure just now, he killed hundreds of natives like chopping melons and vegetables, and his move was extremely ruthless, and his move caused death. He couldn't help but feel that this person was worth hundreds of people! So he said: "My lord is invincible! Kill hundreds of people by one person and rescue me is equivalent to danger. In the future, we are willing to follow the master and hope he will accept it!"
Chen Hao couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He was a decent People's Liberation Army officer, but when he arrived here, he had to pull the banner of the Qing court to do things. What's this?
"Okay, get up, you all have blood. In order to protect your loved ones, you dare to fight against so many natives without retreating. Follow me in the future, I will let you know that those who dare to offend my great man's power will be punished the most severely!"
Everyone thought to themselves, isn't it the Qing Dynasty? Why did this adult talk about the great man? But they didn't dare to doubt it, so they kowtowed again and stood up.
Chen Hao said again: "Okay, you buried your own bodies and leave here to a safe place later." Then he pointed to Song Sicheng and said: "You stay, I have something to ask you."
Except for Song Sicheng, everyone left. The handsome boy wanted to speak but stopped. After thinking about it, he asked two other young men to help bury the body and waited on the side. Seeing the handsome boy standing aside, Chen Hao didn't mind. After thinking about it, he asked Song Sicheng: "What's your name? When I came out, I encountered wind and waves, and the boat capsized, and I stayed on an island for a while, so I don't know what year it is now? Where is this?"
Song Sicheng replied respectfully: "Sir, the villain is called Song Sicheng. It is March of the 32nd year of the Guangxu period. This is West Borneo, Southeast Asia. The place we are located between Sanfa and Yamaguchi. We all escaped from Sanfa and are preparing to take refuge in Yamaguchi. Now we meet an adult, if we have a long drought and rain, we will be the master of ours in the future."
Chen Hao looked at Song Sicheng with appreciation and said: He is educated, and he speaks clearly and can flatter him. He is really a talent! He must cultivate it well in the future! It turns out that it is March 1906. Hehe, if it is now after the Xinhai Revolution, it would be not fun to use the Qing Dynasty as a signboard! The third round has been completed, but Yamaguchi-yang-yang Chinese are powerful and a coastal city, which is a place that he should make good use of in the future! Most of the entire West Borneo is full of forests, mountains and swamps. He can use these places to train a strong army first, but it is a problem that there is no gun now, and he doesn’t even have money in his hand, so he has to get money first.
After thinking about it, he turned around and asked the handsome boy beside him, "Tell me! What's wrong with you?" The handsome boy knelt down and said, "Sir, the villain's name is Xia Xingyu, the eldest son of Xia An, the owner of Qingyuan Village, more than 100 miles away. Our village was attacked by more than 3,000 natives two days ago. My father ordered me to climb up the mountain and ask for help, but now there are indigenous riots everywhere, and there are no soldiers to move. I was already in despair and planned to go back to fight with the natives.
Death. Now I am grateful to see the government sending adults to save the people from the fire and water! Please give me mercy on the common people and save more than 1,000 lives in Qingyuan Village." As he said that, he handed over a small cloth bag, looked at Song Sicheng, and continued: "It is the money my father brought me to ask for help from the soldiers. I am willing to give it all to the adults. There are 2 million taels of silver notes, and the promissory notes issued by Citibank Singapore Branch of the United States. I hope you can accept it with a smile!"
Chen Hao's hand holding the money shook slightly. The 2 million taels of silver notes and 1.5 million US dollars in 1906 were worth about 5.6 billion yuan in the era when he came. Unexpectedly, when he thought about getting money, such a huge amount of funds was held in his hands! Thinking about becoming a billionaire in an instant, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Rich Nanyang people! According to later statistics, before and after the restoration of the Tongmenghui, Nanyang Chinese provided a total of tens of millions of taels of silver. Moreover, most of the donations were middle and lower classes of overseas Chinese society in the South China Sea. Those overseas Chinese families in the South China Sea basically did not donate. This shows how rich the Nanyang people are! They are constantly massacred and looted by the Spanish, Dutch and indigenous people. There is a saying that wealth is not revealed. You Chinese are so rich, without the support of a powerful country, and without the corresponding force matching. If you don’t rob you, who will you rob?
He calmed down and said, "It is unavoidable to rescue Chinese compatriots! Even if you don't donate this money, even if I am the only one, I will save you! I will not be afraid of anyone! Including foreign devils! But now I want to recruit soldiers and horses in Nanyang. Not only do I have to recruit people, but also buy guns and cannons, and buy powerful guns and cannons that you can't imagine. These require a lot of money, so I will accept the money you are not politely! If Nanyang is taken down by me in the future, the money you donated will be recorded in the history books of the newly established Chinese country! It will also be recorded in the history books of the state in the future!"
Xia Xingyu felt a sudden surge of passion, and replied loudly with tears in excitement: "I wish to die for you! In the future, my life in Xia Xingyu will not belong to me!" After that, he blew three times hard!
Song Sicheng, who was standing aside, was also excited to hear it! It was recorded in the history books of the newly established Chinese country! It also needs to be recorded in the history books of the national dynasty! What kind of glory is this! Although he had decided to donate a sum of money to repay Chen Hao's life-saving grace, he would not contribute to his family like Xia Xingyu. At this time, he couldn't help but hate himself for not taking out the money earlier. Also, if he wanted to buy guns and cannons to take the Nanyang? Taking such a large Nanyang?! If it were someone else's words, Song Sicheng would definitely sneer, but when he heard the confident words of this God of War, he had an inexplicable belief, a belief that he was following Chen Hao's head! Did this adult come from the national dynasty? Is there such an outstanding figure in the national dynasty? Not only did he have amazing force, he also knew about cannons and muskets!
Chen Hao said to Xia Xingyu again: "Get up quickly, don't kneel down and kowtow at any time in the future. I don't like it! A real man has gold under his knees, so don't kneel down easily. Do the natives attacking your village have guns in their hands?" Xia Xingyu replied: "Yes, there are about 100 people holding old-fashioned muskets, and more than 20 people have muskets in their hands."
He is another talent! And he is a talent who regards money as dirt and values affection and friendship! Chen Hao sighed again! Xia Xingyu is not simple either. Don’t mention that he can tell the difference between an old-fashioned musket and a borehole gun. Just by following him and seizing the opportunity to come out, you can see that this person has keen observation and discernment.
The education level of the Chinese in Nanyang has always been very high, especially the rich people in their families, all of whom are educated. Although I don’t know that Xia Xingyu had no idea that his father had given so much money to him to help soldiers before, Chen Hao must have understood the meaning of his father asking him to escape with a huge sum of money! So, when he was about to go back and fight with the natives, he saw Chen Hao appearing so strongly and sent by the state court, so he stepped forward without hesitation to donate money!
Chen Hao looked at the sky, thought for a while, and said, "In a few hours, the sky will be dark, and everyone is very tired after fighting. I decided not to set off today, go to the nearby river to wash it, and then have a good meal and have a good night's sleep. I will set off tomorrow morning as soon as the sky lights up, and we will arrive in the evening for more than 100 miles tomorrow. After arriving, we will rest behind us. Xingyu took me to observe the terrain first, and then went to the village to contact Mr. Xia. I will go in and raid in the evening. You are ambushing around. Once the natives are in chaos, you will fight out and completely defeat this enemy!"
Listening to Chen Hao's arrangement, Song Sicheng and Xia Xingyu were both very impressed and satisfied. They had seen Chen Hao's force and let such a person rush into the indigenous camp at night. Not to mention 3,000 indigenous people, even 30,000, I believe Chen Hao would kill them to cry and cry for their parents and escape unstoppable. And their lives are all Chen Hao's. Chen Hao wants them to die, and they will not retreat.
Nearly an hour later, Luo Jun and his friends finally buried the bodies of their relatives. In addition to the 56 strong men, there were 11 children of different sizes left. They were all protected by dead adults and survived. There were also 5 young women, who were the key targets of the strong men. If there was no way, they would be killed by the strong men before being humiliated by the indigenous people.
Since there were not a few horses left, I left them for several seriously injured people to ride, buried dozens of large wooden boxes filled with silver in a hidden place, and marked them later.
After the work was completed, more than 70 people, led by Xia Xingyu, walked towards the nearby river.
