Half of what England has is true.

Yang Gao is really a fortune teller, and Tang Er has really been arrested, but their motives for going to England are not pure.

Not even on the table is the Dragon and Tiger Temple Zhu Cao Changqing, who is good at dissection, they are subordinate to the Oriental Military Government Commerce Bureau, Europa Affairs Department.

Four months ago, the dilapidated wooded farm in Drevsund, on the south bank of the Thames near the port, was bought by a carpenter old Taylor, who had lived on the coast for generations, for a large sum of money, and hired many workers to repair and convert it into a lumber yard.

This trifle was originally nothing to be remarkable, although the baron of the territory was not very happy at the time of the acquisition of the land...... As soon as this year's wool arrives in the Netherlands by sea, he will be able to raise sheep on the land.

But fortunately, the carpenter old Taylor heard that he had made a windfall, and it was said that a distant relative living in France had left him a rich inheritance, and even the baron was so angry that he could not use force to rob it.

This bad old man hired a few sailors from the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty Tang Er to protect his property, and those sturdy men with black hair and black eyes, stealing with left arm lines, and snatching with right arm lines, were all wearing chain mail, carrying swords, carrying muskets, galloping horses, and chewing raw tobacco in their mouths and full of meat.

It was a man who smuggled arms from the New World, and the little baron didn't dare to mess with it.

But what the baron didn't know was that the sawmill was just a deaf look, and during the construction the sawmill dug a large cellar, and to this day the Ming gunners still work underground, digging all the way to the river through the tunnels.

The person who lived in the cellar was Xinhui Longhu Daojun Temple Qianmiaozhu, the former assistant of Chen Gongshi, a first-class physician of the Dongyang Military Hospital, and Cao Changqing, the Taoist chief.

Fifteen miles away on the riverside is the camp of the arms smuggler Tang Er.

This thief who stole Chen Mu's five-pole bird gun in the Oriental Military Mansion in the past has now turned into a famous maritime merchant in London, and obtained the right to build a small camp on the riverside through Yang Gao's way, leaving fourteen subordinates, and he took a boat back to the New World to report to the Oriental Military Government.

The Earl of Leicester also has half of the matter about him, and he does have some relationship with the commander surnamed Fu of the Oriental Military Mansion, and a large part of the sailors under him are Fu Yuan's personal soldiers, thugs from the gambling houses in Nanjing.

The tattoos on these people are all Chinese characters, and the tattoo industry is very difficult to do in the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is too astute, but anyone who helps him take the world is forbidden when he sits in the world...... For example, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army Han Shantong was all the White Lotus Sect, so the Ming Dynasty banned the White Lotus; At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the sons and daughters of the heroes were all thorns of dragons and phoenixes with both arms, and the slender ones were victorious, and when the Ming Dynasty carved the green incident and filled the army, no one dared to tattoo.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang knows too well that carved blue tattoos are heroic and unscrupulous, easy to gather and easy to grow, and are a factor of social unrest.

Da Ming law, if you have committed theft, the first time you tattoo the word 'theft' on your right forearm, the second time you tattoo your left forearm, and the third time you will have no provincial paint; If you have committed robbery, you will directly stab the word 'robbery' in your right forearm, and continue to stab it a second time.

And it is generally a very serious theft or robbery before it will be tattooed.

Therefore, Fu Yuan's strong group of soldiers during the difficult period when he was dismissed from office and dismissed from office were theoretically tattooed by order, and they were ordered by Emperor Taizu.

At this moment, two strong men with tattoos were in front of old Taylor's wooden house, deliberately dressed in different colored trolls, with knives and delicate handcuffs hanging from their belts around their waists, one leaning against the door, the other sitting on a stake in the doorway and sharpening their short knives.

Most of Fu Yuan's family members have bad habits, they have received military training in Beiyang for half a year, and they have also done some dirty work for the Dongyang military government on the border, and they can skillfully use various weapons and firearms, and they are good at fighting and guarding in a small area, but their undisciplined character makes them incompatible with the Beiyang army.

Fu Yuan is extremely vague about the direction of their training, but one thing is certain - he will not use these to fight, Fu Yuan, who has been in the two oceans, knows better than anyone in the Ming Dynasty about military reform, and the role of the generals on the battlefield is not better than that of the scientifically cultivated Beiyang Army, and in special tasks, these people can barely fight with Lin Manjue's guerrilla army.

The real strength lies in the elasticity of the place...... These former extrajudicial scoundrels were no more fierce than the Beiyang Army, but the people were more afraid of them, no matter what country they were.

So they were sent to England to follow Tang Er to continue to do the dirty work, they were Yang Gao and Tang Er's best assistants, and at the same time they also received orders from Fu Yuan when they went to sea: if anyone has a tendency beyond the control of the Oriental military government, they will be killed.

Eventually, if the affairs of England were to be successful, each of them would be rewarded with a great sum of silver; If they fail, killing the person who caused the failure will also give them a good reward.

Behind them, under the floor of the wooden house, a meeting was going on.

"White Lotus is not good, the imperial court forbids White Lotus, you say Dragon and Tiger Daojun? No, no, this one is even worse. ”

The cellar has nearly twenty steps of steps and passages to ensure that people cannot hear the conversations inside when they stand in the room, and the large space is built into two rooms, the outer is the real cellar, with a wall stacked with wine barrels as a door to hide people's eyes, and further inside is the incense hall of Cao Changqing's secret society.

Daoist Cao of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone tapped the edge of the table with two fingers, and looked at the few people around him: "Dragon and Tiger Daojun will cause trouble for the big handsome." ”

Around him, there was Pan Sheng, a small flag official from Chen Jiujing on the French coast, and Fan Xiaotong, a descendant of the White Lotus Sect who was carefully selected by Chang Sheng's 100,000 immigrants.

Of course, there is also a place for Cao Changqing's chief disciple Old Taylor at this table, but Old Taylor is managing the lumberyard outside.

Flag officer Pan Sheng nodded slowly, retreating from the battlefield where the war was going on made him a little unaccustomed, but when he heard the name of the marshal, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, you can't make trouble for the marshal." ”

Cao Daochang valued Pan Sheng very much, and the French fugitives he brought from France were very good at thwarting the French royal family's desire to marry Elizabeth Queen of England, although the information obtained from Yang Gao showed that even without the assassination, it would be difficult for the two countries to achieve a marriage, but this assassination helped Yang Gao successfully win the trust of the Earl of Leicester, which was very beneficial to their great cause.

This is a very black-hearted character, in the early days Cao Daochang had never known what means Pan Xiaoqi used to make a French willing to be their dead soldier, and later they learned that they were not dead soldiers at all, Pan Sheng promised the captive to help him carry out an unsuccessful assassination and let him go, but after the assassination was over, he went up to make up for the assassin's heart.

Fan Xiaotong is a graceful and good-looking young woman, who has no blood feud and no strange experience, eloped with a man who believes in a secret society and boarded a ship bound for the Great Eastern Ocean, but the man had a big plan to sell her in order to raise funds, and in a fit of anger, he backhanded the Dongyang Military Government to report that the lover was involved in the White Lotus Sect, and the secret society of Chang Sheng was wiped out.

Because of this experience, she knew the operation procedures of the White Lotus Sect and had no ambitions, and she was the most needed talent in the Europa Affairs Division, so she was sent to Mexico City to train with Cao Changqing and others.

If so, it would be better to call ...... Sun and Moon Sect? ”

Fan Xiaotong blinked, spread his hands and said, "Make up a few sets of words, teach the farmer to speak first." ”
