Chapter 329: The End of the Fire
Chapter 329: The End of the Fire
Seeing that Shao Quanzhong had finished dealing with the urgent military situation, Tian Xing came over with another telegram.
Shao Quanzhong just glanced at the urgent telegram from London. Seeing that it was about the Irish, which was not urgent, he did not respond immediately, but hurriedly dealt with more important military issues.
"Second brother, what should we do about the situation reported by Jiang Chunlin? Shouldn't we take this opportunity to stir up trouble behind the British and support the Irish?"
Speaking of the second telegram, Shao Quanzhong frowned, "I would like to do it, but I don't dare. The British also have spies. If we support them in a rebellion and the news leaks out, it will cause a big disaster."
It turns out that Shao Quanzhong also has troubles that he dares not touch.
Tian Xing had to learn how to fight from Shao Quanzhong. He was better at rebellion than Shao Quanzhong. "If we don't do anything ourselves, we can support them through the Taiping Army, so we won't get burned."
Shao Quanzhong frowned, "Can we cover up the fact that we support the Taiping Army behind the scenes? It's still the same."
"It's different. We support the Taiping Army behind the scenes. Only Seaward and the deceased Lincoln know about it. Ordinary Americans believe that the Taiping Army mercenaries were recruited by Seaward himself."
"That's right. From what I know about Seaward, even though he jokes around with the British, he will never really help them. Let me think about it. Although Ireland is closer to Spain, the relationship between Spain and me is well known. So - it would be a good idea to ask Jiang Chunlin to send someone to get the drunkard to Sven."
Suddenly he hesitated again, "But Cuba can't withstand the wrath of Britain."
Tian Xing laughed, "As long as Cuba supports the Irish rebels through the United States, the British will not be able to find Cuba. The Irish resistance movement is open and legal in the United States."
"Because with the help of Britain, Canadians burned down the American palace. The Americans held a grudge and have been supporting the Irish in the country."
"The US economy is now larger than that of the UK, so it's not easy to attack. The UK didn't attack the US just because they support the Irish. If something goes wrong, the US will take the brunt of it."
"There are a large number of Irish immigrants in the United States. They formed a gang called the 'Fenian Brotherhood', which is closely connected with the 'Irish Republican Brotherhood' in their country."
"The Fenian Brotherhood received training in the American army and invaded Canada five times to strike at the British influence in North America. The Fenian Brotherhood's Declaration of Independence even made the headlines of the New York Times."
"They hold salons regularly, and Sven and his sister-in-law have attended the salon many times, so through his sister-in-law Jessica, it is a sure thing to support the Irish in the United States."
"Yes, that's right. Isabel, call Jiang Chunlin back and send someone to find James and lead the line to Sven. At the same time, transfer 500,000 taels to Sven and ask him to continue supporting the Irish."
After arranging things to trip up the British brother from behind, Shao Quanzhong suddenly looked at Tian Xing strangely, looking him up and down, "Brother, you have never been abroad, right? How come you understand the international situation better than me, who has visited the American foreigners?"
Tian Xing chuckled, "Siwen is also my fourth brother. You are too busy, and he contacts me, a free man, much more than you."
"Didn't you give me a blank checkbook to spend as I pleased? Apart from visiting brothels, I spent most of my money on sending international telegrams to Sven."
Tian Xing looked at Shao Quanzhong meaningfully, "There are many things that Siwen doesn't want to tell you, but he is willing to tell me, his elder brother. Even though Siwen has been with you through thick and thin, you may not understand him as well as I do now."
Shao Quanzhong didn't think that Zhang Siwen would hide anything from him. The four sworn brothers were all equal, and it was a good thing that Swen was close to the eldest brother. However, he was attracted by another thing.
"Brother, I don't object to you visiting brothels, but don't you want to marry a wife? You are my eldest brother, there is nothing you can't marry. So that you can carry on the Tian family's incense."
Tian Xing was adamant. "I am an orphan raised by my master. My master gave me my given name and surname. I don't even know my surname. Whose family should I inherit? I, your elder brother, plan to be a hero in the martial arts world all my life, but I don't plan to get married."
…………
Ming Yue Building, Soho Square, London.
Shao Quanzhong's telegram took half a day to be fed back, but Jiang Chunlin did not need to send anyone to chase James.
The Irish gang leader, who had no experience in struggle, was drunk and was now lying in the private room, sleeping like a dead dog.
It was not until noon the next day that James woke up thirsty and asked, "Water—"
A red-haired top girl held James in her arms and carefully fed him water.
"Master, thank you for the reward. I like warriors like you the most. Do you want to order my clock?"
The red-haired top girl turned sideways, revealing the number on her waist.
James was now full of disappointment about the future and had no intention of booking a private room. "Bring me some more wine—"
"Master, you can't drink anymore. I'm also Irish and I know the name of the Irish Brotherhood. I admire you heroes very much." "I know a relative named Jessica. She married a big shot, but she is an expert in rebellion."
"Jessica's husband led a group of rebellious heroes and seized Cuba and the Bau Heavenly Kingdom Federation. If they are willing to help you, maybe your dream will be realized successfully."
James sobered up immediately and grabbed the top girl by the collar, showing no mercy, "Tell me their contact information!"
…………
Four days later, Cuba, Havana, eastern suburbs, "Heavenly Pioneer" Iron Works.
Iron sparks flew, and the first batch of molten iron flowed out and formed iron ingots in the mold.
Shi Laosan, who was inspecting the scene, was so excited that his face turned red. "Brothers, we have smelted the first batch of iron. This is just the beginning."
"The British Empire was just an island country before it became prosperous. So are we. Cuba has coal and iron. Our iron ore production accounts for more than 25% of Latin America, which is no worse than that of Britain."
"We are brothers and sisters in heaven, all of us are equal. If we work together to keep the furnace burning and strike while the iron is hot, Cuba will quickly industrialize and become a powerful country in the world."
The workers cheered together. A representative spoke, "The Heavenly Kingdom government has dealt with the landlords who oppressed us, and has allocated houses to us. Medical care and children's schooling are all free. We have nothing to worry about. We must listen to Chief Shi and work hard to surpass the Americans and British!"
"Roar!"
"Brothers, after work, go to the cafeteria to eat. Don't leave, go to the First Machine Tool Manufacturing Plant next door. In the evening, Brother Zhang Siwen will gather there to explain the teachings of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother to everyone..."
The fire made Shi Laosan's face red. Behind him, Zhang Siwen was hidden in the darkness, smiling foolishly without saying a word.
No one could have imagined that the dull "Zhang Ershazi" back then would give lectures to so many people.
"Sven, Sven!"
Jessica unexpectedly appeared and pulled Zhang Sven's sleeve, "I have a few fellow villagers who want to see you."
Zhang Siwen was stunned. "Is it from the Irish Brotherhood? It's only been four days. How could they be so fast across the Atlantic Ocean?"
Zhang Siwen quietly withdrew and followed Jessica back to his temporary residence.
"Hello, Zhang Zizheng, my name is Omanio, I am the leader of the Fenian Brotherhood, which is an Irish-American organization. I came from Miami."
"Jessica has always been a member of our salon, and you also attended the dance we held, but we didn't expect you to have such a great influence."
"It was through the telegram sent to me by our native brother James that I learned that we had missed such a powerful ally."
"If you support our just cause, we will nominate Jessica as our leader after it is accomplished."
"I have brought more than a hundred Fenian brothers with me this time. I hope to receive military training from your men in Cuba and at the same time teach us the skills of rebellion. After that, I will send them back to Ireland."
Zhang Siwen looked back at Jessica and saw Jessica nodded, knowing that the other party was not a fake.
It is said that these red-haired people are very united and can be gathered together by their hair color. There are almost no traitors.
Zhang Siwen looked at Omanio sincerely and said, "Brother, military training and rebellion skills training are no problem. I will provide you with 30,000 taels of silver for the first phase, and my support will continue in the future."
"However, military training alone is not enough. I will soon start a course at the First Machine Tool Factory. Ask all the brothers in the Finney Club to go and receive training. Only when you understand the principles can you do better."
"Okay, I'll leave everything to Zhang Zizheng."
Finney Club leader Omanio and Zhang Siwen held hands tightly.
The old black nanny who had always followed Zhang Siwen was cooking for Zhang Siwen and his wife when an imported match invented by the Prussian Hoffmann ignited the paper media.
The weak flame burned slowly, and soon the wood was ignited, and a blazing fire immediately started in the stove.
