Chapter 48 I Think I Can Still Rescue
Shao Quanzhong led the way, and the two guests Wenxiu and Liao Rong followed steadily behind Shao Quanzhong, but Rong Hui jumped and ran to Shao Quanzhong's side.
He reached out to pull Shao Quanzhong's arm, stuck out his tongue, and stopped.
"Brother Shao, I almost forgot, Dad asked me to tell you that the 500 guns you ordered have arrived.
Originally, the transfer of goods from Hong Kong would not be so slow, but there were not so many goods in Hong Kong, so they were finally transferred from Tianzhu and Sing Tao.
There are a lot of guns in Tianzhutun. The Bowie Company wants to expand the sales of British guns in the Qing Dynasty. They want to transfer 2,000 guns at a time. I don't know if you can handle it.
Aren't you a militia? How did you become the Huai Army?
By the way, I just heard that noble lady say, you are a seventh-rank official? Aren't you a sixth-rank official? How come your official position keeps getting lower and lower? Were you demoted?
And what about Yuting? Why didn't you tell me your handwriting? "
Rong Hui glanced at Wen Xiu behind her without disguising, "Humph! You bad guy, I don't know how many things you have hidden from me."
The little girl asked a series of questions like a machine gun, but Shao Quanzhong smiled and didn't answer, "You still haven't told me why you came here.
Tell me the gun is coming, and Brother Haichang will pass on the message. Uncle Rong only needs a letter of recommendation, and I will definitely use Brother Liao, and I don’t need you to come and introduce him specially.”
Rong Huiteng's face turned red immediately, "You bad guy, you ask even though you already know the answer. If it wasn't for seeing you, why would I come here?
You are taking advantage of me, calling me Uncle Liao "Brother Liao" and insisting on being older than me. I will punish you."
Rong Hui stared at Shao Quanzhong's ear with sparkling eyes. She endured for a long time but finally did not twist it.
Ever since Shao Quanzhong left Shanghai, Rong Hui never mentioned returning to Xiangshan again.
She is already sixteen years old. Other children would have been married long ago at this age.
She had been studying in Hong Kong, at a girls' school, which delayed her marriage. She returned to Xiangshan not to serve her mother, but because her mother was anxious to find a husband for her.
Since I met Shao Quanzhong, a man who seemed to be made for me in Shanghai, I should go back to Mao Xiangshan.
The saying that love at first sight is all about appearance and the impulse of hormones is quite inaccurate.
In fact, the question of "Is he my Mr. Right" will only arise in one's mind when the identities, status, knowledge, and world views of both parties are compatible.
Although most young men and women who are in love have not formally and rationally considered these issues.
But people have their own circles.
As a high-level intellectual, it is impossible for you to hang out in the streets and meet women who drink and have sex. There is no chance for your hormones to be triggered.
Yung Wing sent his daughter to a school run by foreigners. While his daughter gained more knowledge and broadened her horizons, her choice of a spouse suddenly became extremely narrow.
The daughter of a foreign company manager certainly couldn't marry an ordinary person. Even the children of a wealthy landlord or even a scholarly family would have nothing in common with Rong Hui.
But Yung Wing was a patriot, a fierce patriot.
Even though he became an American citizen, that was for convenience; he is definitely a Han chauvinist at heart.
As an American citizen, he did not even convert to a foreign religion, nor did he allow his daughter, who was attending a church school, to convert to a foreign religion.
He has no objection if a foreign woman marries a Chinese man.
In fact, after his wife died, he did find an American wife who was more than 20 years younger than him, and she gave birth to two mixed-race brothers for Rong Hui.
But it is absolutely not allowed for my daughter to marry a foreigner.
This was the end of it. Yung Wing was the first Chinese to study abroad and obtain a university degree, and there were no subsequent ones to appear.
Where can I find someone who is Chinese, has a broad vision, and is of a status and position worthy of my daughter, and is unmarried?
According to normal historical development, Ronghui would basically never be able to get married.
When Shao Quanzhong showed up, he met all the requirements and was handsome enough. Rong Hong and his daughter immediately realized that it would be unjust if they didn't catch this rich son-in-law. Therefore, Rong Hui didn't ask to go back, and Rong Hong didn't urge her to go back, so she just stayed in Shanghai.
After waiting for a long time, the guns ordered by Shao Quanzhong finally arrived. Rong Hui immediately volunteered to go to Hailing in person to inform Shao Quanzhong - finally there was a reason.
Yung Wing not only did not stop his daughter from pursuing him, but also encouraged her with a smile. Hold on tight, daughter, or this precious daughter might be in your hands.
Shao Quanzhong's gun was sent by the Water Demon, and the first mate of the Water Demon, Liao Rong, was an old friend of Yung Wing.
When the two met, Rong Hong had great respect for Shao Quanzhong, so Liao Rong asked for leave and followed Rong Hui to observe Shao Quanzhong's actions.
Wenxiu was still wearing her light green Hanfu. As the weather got colder, she put on a thin mink coat, which made her look even more elegant and graceful.
She followed Shao Quanzhong steadily, and curled her lips when she saw Rong Hui running around Shao Quanzhong chirping like a little swallow.
Xiao Bai, who didn't even know the difference between the ranks of civil officials and military generals, was obviously of low class origin and showed his cowardice the moment he opened his mouth.
Seeing her admiration for Yu Ting so much, she seemed to want to throw herself into Yu Ting's arms in public. She really has no self-respect as a girl.
Also, what is a lady? I am a virgin, okay?
Yuting is going to rise high in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty in the future. Marrying the daughter of a Jinshi is the right way and will be more acceptable to the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty.
You are a woman dressed in Western style, and you want to compete with me?
Foreign flavor—a flash of lightning lit up in Wenxiu’s mind, not good!
News came from the imperial court that foreigners had invaded the capital, and the Qing Dynasty gave in and signed a humiliating treaty with the foreigners.
Now foreigners can act arrogantly in my Qing Dynasty. I'm afraid Yuting will have to curry favor with foreigners. If "Hui'er" relies on the power of foreigners, I'll be in danger.
Wenxiu suddenly panicked.
This fake foreign girl has the support of foreigners and is shameless enough. It's easy for a girl to pursue a boy. Yu Ting might be seduced away by her accidentally. What should he do?
Don't panic, don't panic. Yu Ting and I have been friends for more than three years. This girl has only known Yu Ting for three days at most. I think we can still save her...
The people around and behind Shao Quanzhong followed him to the training ground, each with their own thoughts. The road was not far and they soon arrived.
There were two training grounds in the weir. At the other training ground, the Heng Battalion was receiving pay and training had not yet begun. Shao Quanzhong led everyone to the Zhong Battalion training ground.
On the training ground, the soldiers were resting, sitting there and singing military songs.
The uniforms of these soldiers gave Liao Rong a fresh feeling, which was definitely unique in the Qing Dynasty. When he heard the words "Third, be kind to the people", his back immediately went numb.
Shao Quanzhong has a way of training soldiers. He knows how to win the hearts of the people. This means he is not an ordinary soldier, he must have the ambition to rule the world.
Shao Quanzhong waved his hand and Zhang Siwen blew the whistle. The soldiers immediately stood up and ran quickly to form a neat line.
They came to review the soldiers as a temporary measure, and the soldiers were obviously not prepared. The speed of their assembly and the neatness of their formations showed that they were a strong force.
Liao Rong was a man of great experience. He had traveled extensively with the Water Monster and had met soldiers from all over the world.
Our Qing Dynasty does not have such disciplined soldiers, and the colonial soldiers of the great powers cannot compare with them. Only the British Army Royal Guards Division directly under Buckingham Palace can be compared with them.
Patriots like myself and my brother Yung Wing, who have seen the industrialization capabilities of the great powers, have become disappointed with the Qing Dynasty.
The gap between China and the great powers is widening, and China is extremely anxious, feeling powerless to reverse the situation.
Now that China has finally produced a genius who has defied all odds, does China have a chance to return to the ranks of the world's powerful nations?
This Shao Yuting is a good shot.
