Chapter 85 Habitual Kidnapping

It doesn't cost 100,000 taels to treat any injury. Xue Huan just wanted Yang Fang to spend money to avoid disaster.

Shao Quanzhong's eyes rolled, and he suddenly uttered "Ouch, ouch" twice, "Sir, I am seriously injured and in great pain, and I lost my composure in front of my superiors.

My subordinate has just placed an order for 130,000 taels of silver with the Boynton Company, and he also has to take care of Henry Wall's business, so he plans to spend another 20,000 taels with him.

After spending the 150,000 taels of silver, I have become a pauper, and my heart is in great pain. Even if Yang Fang compensates me with 100,000 taels of silver for my wounds and medicine, it cannot make up for the pain in my heart. "

When it comes to money, Yang Fang was smart enough and said without hesitation, "Master Xue, Master Xue, I am willing to compensate Shao Tu for the medical expenses of Master Shao's injury, 150,000 taels, and I will pay it in cash immediately. I am willing."

Anyway, Yang Fang is the one who pays, so Xue Huan just needs to save Yang Fang's life.

He stroked his beard, smiled and patted Shao Quanzhong's shoulder, "I know the best foreign surgeon in the British Concession. Come on, I'll take my nephew to see his wound."

"Thank you for your concern for me, sir."

Shao Quanzhong followed Xue Huan with a smile on his face.

He turned around and glanced at Yang Fang, his face instantly filled with murderous intent, "Siwen, bring Yang Fang with me to the clinic.

Send two people to Siming Public Office to get the money, and we will release the person when we see the money."

Xue Huan grinned, and the fat on his cheeks trembled constantly.

Shao Quanzhong is a bandit. He is almost kidnapping and ransom in front of me.

Looking at those personal soldiers following his personal soldiers and taking Yang Fang's order to withdraw the money, he had done this many times and was very skilled at it.

…………

In the clinic, a Western doctor with blood on his gloves was using pliers to pull out the bullet that was embedded in Shao Quanzhong's arm.

Orthopedic surgeons are the least like doctors. First of all, they need to be very strong, and the medical equipment they use looks more like blacksmith tools. Anyone who has been to an orthopedic hospital knows this.

Although he was given anesthesia, Shao Quanzhong still cried out "Ouch, ouch".

Rong Hui held Shao Quanzhong's right hand tightly and joked with him to distract his attention.

"Brother Shao, you were so heroic when you were dueling with others, why don't you have any heroism now?
I heard that Guan Yu scraped his bones to treat poison, but it was not like you did."

"Whoever wants to be Guan Yu can be it, but I can't be it anyway. Damn it, it hurts so much."

Wenxiu glared at her husband and said, "I told you to be a hero, but you won't dare to be a hero anymore, right?"

Shao Quanzhong slapped the table with his right hand and said, "It hurts, but I have to be a hero when the time comes.

Is it so easy to conquer the world? Without crawling through the pile of dead bodies and going through a few disasters, it would be easy to conquer the world. Anyone can do this job!
Even if I can't be Guan Yu, I can still be a hero!

Ouch——"

Lord Xue was very busy, so he sent Shao Quanzhong to the clinic and left. There were only foreign doctors and foreign assistants here, so Shao Quanzhong dared to speak freely.

Fortunately, although the gunshot wound was painful, it did not leave any disability, and even the bamboo board did not need to be clamped. After the operation, Shao Quanzhong walked out of the operating room by himself.

"Second brother, Yang Fang's 150,000 taels of silver have been delivered to our ship at the dock. I have already let him go as you ordered."

"Xue Huan is the governor after all, so we have to give him some face, otherwise it would cause too much trouble for Lord Qiao.

This old guy Yang Fang is nothing without an official position, so don’t worry about him.”

Shao Quanzhong was negligent and returned to Yangfang of Siming Public Office with gnashing teeth and eyes full of resentment.

"Shao Quanzhong, you may be so proud now, but one day you will fall into my hands again..."

…………

Henry Wall greeted Shao Quanzhong, who had a bandage on his arm, as he led people in. Henry Wall had heard that the British had poached his company and taken away Shao Quanzhong, a big customer.

Now that he is back, we must catch him.

This guy led his men to wipe out my brother's foreign rifle team? What does this have to do with me?
Li Xiucheng even led his men to defeat the foreign rifle team. My brother Frederick Wall was shot five times and is still recuperating in France.

I sold the guns and bullets that the Taiping Army used to attack my brother. What do you think? Are you convinced?

So that you can know what capitalism is and what a real businessman is.

"Master Shao, look, I have new goods.

This gun is called "Sharps Model 1859". It uses an advanced breech-loading method, and its shooting accuracy and loading speed are much higher than the British muzzle-loading rifles.

The U.S. Marine Corps, Cavalry and Vanguard units are all equipped with this rifle.

You are my old customer, I will give you a discount, a gun and a thousand rounds of bullets, for only two hundred taels of silver."

Shao Quanzhong nodded slightly, "Not bad, not bad, you finally offered a fair price this time."

Although the price is twice that of the Enfield rifle, its factory price is more than three times that of the muzzle-loading rifle.

Although it is still a huge profit, it is much more reasonable than the Springfield rifle that was quoted to me last time.

"How much do you want?"

“I don’t want any shots.

Although the breech-loading rifle is good, the technology is not yet mature.

First of all, the price is extremely high. Secondly, the breech leakage problem has not been completely solved. Thirdly, our Huai Army needs to unify the equipment, and the quantity required in the future will be very huge, but this gun is not suitable for large-scale equipment of the regular army.

The Springfield muzzle-loading rifle is still in service in large quantities in the U.S. Army, right? Why? A rifle with a complex design has poor reliability, and is even less suitable for the difficult maintenance and repair areas of the Qing Dynasty.

The Enfield rifle has a simple structure, standardized parts, strong replaceability, and is easy to maintain, making it suitable for use in the Qing Dynasty.

In the future, when the breech-loading gun technology matures, we can just replace the breech-loading gun body and convert it into a breech-loading gun to be used for many years. I don’t plan to change the quick-loading gun.”

Well, he is a real expert. Wall is under great pressure. "Then take a look at the cannon——"

"I won't buy guns from you either. Your American military even imports Armstrong guns from the UK.

I came here this time to give you money for free."

Wall immediately became alert. He himself was a master at deceiving people, and no one understood the principle that free things are the most expensive better than him.

"What do you want? As long as it doesn't require me to lead people to destroy the French Concession, anything is fine."

Wall was well-informed and knew that Shao Quanzhong had become enemies with France.

The United States is still a second-rate power. France is a first-rate power and the benefactor of the founding of the United States. The United States dare not offend it now.

"Tsk, I don't need to deal with those French bastards, they will be kicked out of the Qing Dynasty soon.

If I don't deal with him, there will be someone stronger to deal with him. Then I will take advantage of his illness to kill him and kick him a few times.

I just want you to help me hire two people to go back to America. I'll give you two thousand taels of silver as travel expenses. It's free.

If you succeed in hiring someone, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver as a reward."

How much? Ten thousand taels?! Walter's blue eyes immediately turned red.

　There will also be updates at 4 and 7 o'clock. I don't have any drafts on hand, so five chapters will be updated today, which is already the limit.
