    The gunboat passed by the ferry, and the side waves it raised made Xiao Anguo secretly spit.

    On the docks and on the streets, groups of soldiers patrolling back and forth suddenly made the atmosphere in the three towns of Wuchang suddenly tense. Because the Sichuan road protection movement turned into a riot, the three towns of Wuchang that guarded the waterway into Sichuan became the key point.

    After the ferry arrived at Hanyang Pier, before he could see his surroundings clearly, he found that the corner of his clothes was being grabbed by someone. He was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the handle of the gun and looked back, only to find that it was a man carrying a bag and wearing a wide-brimmed hat.  , a man with a pair of brown glasses.

    "you are?"

    "Haha, why doesn't the elder brother recognize the younger brother?"

    Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Anguo couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Yang, where did you get your singing skills? This outfit is quite good. I'll give my brother two outfits someday. I don't dare to go out without dressing up recently."

    Yang Qiu chuckled and dragged him onto the ferry without saying a word. He took off his glasses when he reached a secluded place and said with a smile, "So it's me who is dragging down my eldest brother."

    "Of course." Xiao Anguo also gradually understood Yang Qiu's temper, and joked: "Brother is still expecting to ask you for damages." After the two of them joked a few words to clear away the boredom of the past few days, Yang Qiu said  Asked: "How is Big Brother taking over Pinku?"

    "The brothers inside are all good. Although they don't have the help of noble people like you, they are still passable, and" Xiao Anguo knew what Yang Qiu was thinking, and after checking that no one was paying attention, he whispered in his ear.  : "I went into the armory and took a look. There shouldn't be much trouble with the guards, but there are too many things in there. The rifles alone cost fifty or sixty thousand! There are more than ten thousand boxes of ammunition and more than a hundred cannons. I can't take them away in ten days and a half.  .¡±

    "so much!"

    Yang Qiu also stared. He knew that Chu Wangtai was the largest arsenal in the country, but he didn't expect that there were so many. Not to mention that he had such a small number of people. Even if he brought the entire Huncheng Association up, he would not be able to bring them with him in just a few days.  Don¡¯t take away so many arms.

    How about blowing it up?  Yang Qiu shook his head and put aside this idea. If he really wanted to blow up the armory, he would have to watch the three towns fall when Beiyang came.

    Seeing that Yang Qiu didn't speak, Xiao Anguo leaned into his ear again and said, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Yesterday, I went drinking with some of my colleagues in the army. Someone told me that on the night we were assassinated, Jin Diao had diarrhea.  Didn¡¯t come back all night.¡±

    "Jin Diao? Who is Jin Diao?"

    "Jin Lili is also called Jin Mingsheng. He used to be a gangster from the Yangtze Gang in Hankou. Later he joined the New Army for unknown reasons. Now he is the number one hob meat in the eight towns. By the way, I also heard that he has a relationship with a man named Zhang Zhenwu.  close."

    Zhang Zhenwu!

    Yang Qiu almost screamed, Sun Wu, Zhang Zhenwu, Jiang Yiwu, the three Shouyi warriors were famous figures. He didn't expect that his assassination was actually done by them!

    "Made, these guys are really deadly!" Xiao Anguo slapped the railing bitterly.

    "Brotherit was me who harmed you." Yang Qiu learned that it was Sanwu who wanted to kill him, and knew that the matter was serious. You must know that Sanwu has an extraordinary status in the eyes of the Hubei Democratic Party, and they wanted to kill him, so  The following will definitely go all out.

    "Stop talking nonsense. If it weren't for your brother, I would have lost my life in Guang'an." Xiao Anguo seemed not to want to mention the matter again. Seeing that the ship had returned to Wuchang Pier, he asked: "By the way, where are you going?"  ?¡±

    "Meet an old friend."

    While Xiao Anguo was wondering, Yang Qiu had already pulled him off the boat and walked around to an exquisite two-story courtyard.

    "Hey, is it you?"

    After entering the house, Xiao Anguo realized why Yang Qiu said he was an old friend. It turned out that he was here to see Shen Shukai, whom he met that night. He was also full of questions and wanted to ask this man who suddenly appeared, but when he entered the house, he found that the servant was actually there.  Pack your bags.

    "Mr. Shen, where are you going?"

    "Fortunately, we finally met." Shen Shukai had been eager to see the two of them. After seeing them, he quickly held hands and said: "To be honest, our Sichuan branch was robbed by a group of mobs yesterday, so I have to  Rush immediately to check the situation."

    "Brother Shen, if I were you I wouldn't go to Chengdu." Yang Qiu stretched out his hand and winked at Mr. Dong, understanding that the three of them must have something to talk about. The clever shopkeeper Dong immediately dismissed the servants and left.  When he arrived, he was waiting beside Shen Shukai.

    Shen Shukai, who was anxious about Sichuan, didn't notice that Yang Qiu even changed his title, and said anxiously: "Master Yang, what do you mean?"

    Yang Qiu smiled slightly, put his bag on the table, looked at the packed baggage and said, "I think Brother Shen went to Chengdu just to check the damage and find a way to reopen the semicolon, right?"

    "Is this wrong?""That's right, Brother Shen, have you ever thought about it? Now it's just Chengdu. If Wuchang, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are in trouble, how can you be a clone?" Yang Qiu's few words made Dong, who was formerly in Chengdu,  The shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed, and even Shen Shukai stood up suddenly and asked: "Brother Yang, what do you mean"

    "The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!" Yang Qiu stood up and walked to the window, looking at the busy river outside and taking a deep breath: "Brother Shen, you and I met by chance. I'm afraid we can't even talk about trust, but don't you think  Are we destined?"

    "I met Shopkeeper Dong in Chengdu that day, but I was also in danger there. Because of this danger, I made you apologize, but you saved me and Miss Miao. You drank and pecked, it was God's will!" Yang Qiu looked at it  He glanced at Shopkeeper Dong and said with a smile: "Since you called me brother today, whether you believe it or not, I still want to advise you. Immediately! Immediately! Sort out all the semicolons and return the liquid money to the treasury immediately, if conditions permit.  , all converted into US dollars!¡±

    Even the most stupid person can understand after hearing these words.

    Who can become the top businessman of this era who doesn't know how to observe words and emotions, let alone an outstanding person like Shen Shukai.  Before he was in Shanghai, he felt that his ears were filled with the sounds of the uprising that overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Even the most stable north was filled with discordant sounds. After arriving in Wuchang, his ears were filled with the cries of killing the Tatars on August 15th.  In addition, the road protection movement in Sichuan has evolved into an armed conflict. It is said that the fighting in Sichuan has become fierce, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are actually in turmoil.

    " It's not easy to ask him to close the stall right now. Not to mention that he is just the manager, and there are also bosses and major shareholders. Just rectifying the semi-colon immediately will be a huge loss.

    Yang Qiu saw Shen Shukai's thoughts and smiled slightly: "Brother Shen, I know you also have concerns. After all, this matter sounds scary, but if you believe me, you might as well accept it for 2 months first. If I am wrong after 2 months,  Well, I guess the loss won¡¯t be huge.¡±

    "Only for 2 months?"

    From the massacre in Chengdu to the Wuchang Uprising, it only took one month to calculate the full amount, so Yang Qiu said with certainty: "Yes, only 2 months! Your business will continue as usual within 2 months, as long as you pay attention to the safety of your money, it is enough."

    Hearing that Yang Qiu had insisted on two months, Shen Shukai was also a little moved, and Xiao Anguo next to him frowned, because Yang Qiu had said before that these two months were the key.

    Shopkeeper Dong listened and nodded and said: "Manager Shen, I think no matter what Mr. Yang said is right or not, we should tighten the money. Just like this time in Chengdu, the mob looted no less than 200,000 yuan.  So it doesn¡¯t hurt to take some precautions in advance.¡±

    With the words of shopkeeper Dong, Shen Shukai started to worry in his heart. He stood up and cupped his hands: "Brother Yang, thank you for your reminder. Tomorrow I will ask all branches to be careful. If something big happens as you said within two months,  Then Shen will definitely thank you very much!"

    Hearing that Shen Shukai was finally convinced by him, Yang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his bag, patted it and said with a smile, "Brother Shen, you're so polite. You forgot, I still want to do business with you." After saying that, he took something out of his bag.  He took out a thick stack of white paper with lines drawn on it, handed it to the other party and said, "This is the big business I told you."

    Although Shen Shukai didn't understand what was painted on it, he could vaguely see that it was some machines, and some even looked like cannons. He suddenly felt confused and asked: "Brother Yang, what are these?"

    Yang Qiu didn¡¯t answer but asked: ¡°I want to ask, is Brother Shen familiar with the Germans?¡±

    "I do know a few friends from German banks, and I also have some contacts with German officials in Shandong."

    "That's enough." Yang Qiu patted his thigh and said.

    Hearing Yang Qiu keep playing riddles, Xiao Anguo couldn't help but grabbed him and asked: "Brother, just tell me, stop playing riddles with me and Brother Shen."

    Yang Qiu immediately turned to the cannon picture and said: "This is a stepping stone for Brother Shen. This is the cannon on the latest French battleship. Although it may not be comparable to Germany, France and Germany are mortal enemies. I want the Germans to see it.  By this point I should be 70% convinced of you."

    After saying that, he pulled out a few more drawings and continued: "This is the real deal. Although I don't know how much the Germans will pay, if these things are less than 500,000 US dollars, brother will burn them."  Bar."

    "50 US dollars? 1 million taels of silver!" Upon hearing that the pieces of torn paper he was looking at were worth so much, Xiao Anguo's eyes turned green and he quickly asked: "Brother, please tell me quickly, what is this?"  what?"

    "If I say it now, it will only hurt you." Yang Qiu's face became serious, he looked at Shen Shukai and said: "Brother Shen, this picture is big business, but it is also a life-threatening thing, so you have to think"To complete this transaction, you must find a considerate person to handle it.  I have a German description here. Let the Germans read the description first, and then look at the drawings. And you must remember that the drawings must be stored separately, and you can only read half of them before the transaction is completed!  "

    No wonder Yang Qiu was cautious. Although he was sure that Germany would be interested in this thing and would definitely be willing to pay a high price, China today is not so much a world of Chinese as it is a world of foreigners. He wants to steal things from robbers who are used to robbing them.  If you want to seize the chestnuts from the fire, you have to be more careful.

    As soon as these words came out, Shen Shukai knew that these drawings were of great importance even if he didn't understand, so he quickly asked: "Since Brother Yang believes in me, then I will make this deal, but this thing is German  Do people really want it?¡±

    "Yes! And they are the only ones who urgently need this most. If you can meet the German naval commander stationed in Qingdao, he will be more interested. But Brother Shen, you might as well keep an eye on it when negotiating. If something goes wrong, you can tell him directly  If anything happens to you, these drawings will immediately appear in the hands of Britain and France! Of course this is the last resort to save your life, you must not say that from the beginning."

    After Yang Qiu took care of him, he faced the surprised and astonished looks of the three people and finally smiled and said: "Tell the German guy, in addition to money, I also want 30 Maxim machine guns, 100 Madsen M50 machine guns and 1 million European rounds."  The pointed bullets used must be obtained within 20 days. As for the rest, Brother Shen, you can take care of it yourself. Anyway, I only want arms and nothing else!"

    Hearing this last sentence, Shen Shukai and Shopkeeper Dong suddenly stood up and said with numbness: "Brother Yang you you are a revolutionary party?!"
