Chapter 18 Return (Part 2)

"Are those two foreigners followers of Fuguo?" Zhang Jingjiang's temperament and demeanor can easily win the favor of others.

"I can't talk to my class. When I was an intern in the German Seventh Army, Jensen was my platoon leader. A very good soldier! Paulus is his good friend. Come back to China with me to see him." Fang Jianxiong said to Zhang.

Jingjiang smiled, made an invitation gesture and said: "It's windy here and Mr. Jingjiang is not in good health. You might as well move to my cabin. Let's have a good chat and have a couple of drinks."

"It's an honor!" Zhang Jingjiang said, Fang Jianxiong led the way, and Mrs. Zhang pushed him to follow. When entering the cabin, Fang Jianxiong extended his hand to help, and the two quickly started to have a long drink and talk.

Zhang Jingjiang can be regarded as the top business elite of this era, and he is also a guy who is seriously dissatisfied with reality. Zhang Jingjiang has done such a thing. Once on a ship returning to China, he encountered Sun Dapao and recognized him, but Sun Dapao did not recognize him.

At that time, Zhang Jingjiang took the initiative to go up and tell Sun Dapao, the "rebellion leader", that if you need funds for your rebellion, you can send me a telegram and I will sponsor you.

From this incident, we can see that this person has an average personality.

"Fuguo, do you know about the Alliance?" Zhang Jingjiang is really fierce. The two of them didn't talk for a few words before they brought up such a topic. Fang Jianxiong naturally knew that, and he also saw a lot of things that made the organization's incompetence completely scandalous. Objectively

Generally speaking, the loose structure of the Tongmenghui is indeed not suitable for the beheading business of rebellion. The overthrow of the Qing Dynasty was more due to the greed and stupidity of the rulers themselves. After the Qing Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty, if it could be done in time,

I dare not say that the implementation of the constitution will last for a hundred years, but it can still be sustained for thirty to fifty years. After all, among the elites of this era, very few people actually rebel. To put it bluntly, this era truly has economic and military strength.

The elites are more inclined towards constitutional monarchy, and there are guys like Yuan Shikai whose ambitions are growing quickly.

Fang Jianxiong didn't know much about this era, but his strength was his prediction of history.

"Brother Jingjiang, why did you mention this? What they are doing is beheading. I have some admiration for the Tongmenghui patriots, but I haven't thought about doing this yet. Besides, the current court does not rely on the Tongmenghui.

It can be overthrown by just throwing a few bombs and gathering a hundred or ten men and guns." First he admired, then he denied. Zhang Jingjiang was quite puzzled by what he said. At the same time, he also felt Fang Jianxiong's defensiveness.

heart.

"What are Fuguo's plans for returning home this time?" Zhang Jingjiang put aside the idea of ​​getting people to join her team to achieve immediate results, and changed the topic.

"I do have plans. I will start some business at home and be filial to my two elders." These words can basically be said to be insincere, but Zhang Jingjiang will not think it is a lie. "Filial piety" in this era

The word is still very heavy. It is normal for Fang Jianxiong to have such thoughts after returning from abroad.

The two began to talk in a tacit understanding, but did not talk about killing the rebels. The conversation passed quickly for several hours, and Mrs. Zhang Jingjiang came to urge them, and then they left and went back.

Along the way, Zhang Jingjiang was a good chat friend, which relieved a lot of boredom and loneliness. Zhang Jingjiang came to chat with Fang Jianxiong when he had nothing to do, and gradually learned about Fang Jianxiong's "ins and outs". Well, studying in Germany, learning

In the military, he also studied under Sun Baoqi, a bureaucrat. In his words, he was quite dissatisfied with the imperial court. In fact, in this era, as long as he stayed abroad for a few years, few people would be satisfied with the imperial court.

When the ship was approaching Hong Kong, Zhang Jingjiang was about to disembark. She couldn't help but find Fang Jianxiong an hour before disembarking, and asked solemnly: "Fuguo, to tell you the truth, I am from the Tongmenghui, and I want to invite you to join."

."

Fang Jianxiong had actually guessed where he was coming from, and also knew that he wanted to seduce him into joining the club. In several conversations, he deliberately talked about Sun Baoqi's appreciation and recommendations for him, but Zhang Jingjiang did not expect that Zhang Jingjiang would still say this.

"Brother Jingjiang, thank you for your candor. I would also like to have a brother like you, but I have some more mature ideas of my own about the future. I hope you can understand me." Fang Jianxiong looked calm, without any trace of emotion.

It meant too much. Zhang Jingjiang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and sighed: "Then let's talk about it later."

Fang Jianxiong looked at his disappointed look and couldn't help but said: "Brother Jingjiang, the Qing Dynasty must be overthrown. This is an inevitable process of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. However, I don't know if you have ever thought about it. After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, this

What will the country look like? Today, the imperial court has no control over local governors and the military. Once there is no such nominal center, those with guns in their hands can easily evolve into warlords, and chaos will become inevitable.

If that’s true, it’s the people of this country who are suffering.”

"How could this happen? Overthrow the Qing Dynasty, establish the Republic of China, and everything will be fine." After Zhang Jingjiang's words, Fang Jianxiong was somewhat disappointed. This is the limitation of the people of the times. Fang Jianxiong did not defend himself, but Zhang Jingjiang fell into silence.

Hong Kong is right in front of us, and Zhang Jingjiang has yet to get rid of the trouble of being unable to think clearly.

The ship docked at the dock, Zhang Jingjiang disembarked, and when Fang Jianxiong saw him off, Zhang Jingjiang took Fang Jianxiong's hand and said in a sincere tone: "Fu Guo, I will think carefully about what you said, and you should also think carefully about what I said."

In any case, Fang Jianxiong's words touched Zhang Jingjiang's mind. "Cherish it!" They said goodbye to each other and Zhang Jingjiang left the ship. Watching Zhang Jingjiang disappear, Fang Jianxiong said to himself: "In this era, only strength is recognized!"

Brother Jingjiang!"

The ship finally arrived in Shanghai. After a long journey, Fang Jianxiong shook his body when he stepped onto the pier. It seemed that he was not so used to the land. Fang Jianxiong had a lot of luggage, including two large boxes, but basically he didn't need to worry about it.

When getting off the ship, Jensen and Paulus completely ignored the Victors and one of them carried a box belonging to Fang Jianxiong off the ship first. The Victors could not move them around, so they had to pay a sailor to help carry the big box.

Get rid of all the luggage, big and small.

There were a lot of coolies at the dock. When they saw these people surrounding them, Victor and his wife covered their noses in disgust and ran away. Fang Jianxiong and the other three didn't care. Isn't it just the smell of sweat? There aren't many people in the army who smell it.

Fang Jianxiong came forward and called a rickshaw to take Victor and his wife to the Grand Hotel of the World. Fang Jianxiong and the others would handle the other matters. In any case, Pierre's cousin, no matter how much he looked at them along the way,

They are pleasing to the eye, and they have formed a certain friendship. In fact, the couple still likes Fang Jianxiong very much. They think he is handsome and generous. The coquettish Sally has hinted to Fang Jianxiong several times that if he is lonely during the journey, she can help relieve him.

.Fang Jianxiong didn't notice these hints, but he treated the guests with some snacks and drinks. Even their boat tickets were the product of Fang Jianxiong's extortion of Pierre.

"Sir, do we still call this kind of car?" Janson seemed to have endless energy. Along the way, he kept looking for barmaids. All the travel expenses in his pocket had long been thrown into that hole.

When the ship arrived in Bombay, Fang Jianxiong paid for all the expenses he and Paulus had. Janson also repeatedly said that he would just hang out with the company commander, and he could work as a thug or bodyguard.

In fact, Fang Jianxiong was still happy to bring back two qualified officers. He always had to lead the team by himself, especially at the beginning. It would definitely not work without two assistants.

"No, let's go on foot." Fang Jianxiong waved his hand and called a few coolies to pick up the luggage. The three of them followed on foot. Because there were two foreign devils, the porters did not dare to miscalculate.

I chose to walk just because I wanted to see Shanghai in this era. The prosperity of Shili Foreign Market was true, but what I saw along the way was more poverty and squalor, and the numbness in the eyes of those who came and went to make a living.

After walking for a while, Fang Jianxiong was disappointed and gave up on watching. He stretched out his hand to ask the porters to stop, and hailed three rickshaws. He originally planned to let all three of them ride away, but he called three rickshaws because he was worried that the rickshaw drivers would be too tired to pull the two of them.

Unexpectedly, Janson and Paulus refused to take the car. Janson said: "My bones are sore from sitting on the boat, so it's better to walk. Besides, sir, you are our employer now, so you should take the car. We

Let me open the way for you."

Well, a Chinese man in a car, with two foreign devils cheering behind him, is a strange sight in Shanghai. The foreign devils do look down on ordinary Chinese, but both Janson and Paulus are seventh.

The retired soldiers of the army, their attitude towards Fang Jianxiong is completely respectful. Soldiers always surrender to the strong.

The concession has not been around in this ancient country for a long time, but it does have a deep mark of shame. This is a country where even institutions related to the lifeblood of the country, such as customs, are controlled by the British. This is also what Fang Jianxiong is running.

The reason why I choose to cooperate with foreigners is that the Chinese have no dignity in their own country!

Seeing the concession, Fang Jianxiong's heart ached a few times. He checked into the hotel and washed away the dust. Victor and his wife came to Fang Jianxiong's room door and knocked on the door. They were looking at the clean and dirty city from the balcony.

The setting sun dyed the balcony and the trees on the balcony red. A knock on the door interrupted Fang Jianxiong's thoughts.

"Hello! How do you feel?" Fang Jianxiong smiled and invited them in. After sitting down, Victor said with a smile.

"Fang, I asked the receptionist at the hotel to deliver a letter to the foreign bank. No surprise, I can get a position as a branch manager. I hope to get your advice and help on where to go." Before coming, Pierre told Wei

Ke Duo gave countless instructions, telling Victor to listen to Fang Jianxiong's opinions more. Although Victor disagreed with this, he did not dare to offend Pierre, because his position was related to the Pierre family.

.As for Victor’s own family, it has fallen into decline.
