Nao Aso and Naogami Matsubara came together, they came for two purposes, the first was very simple, it was to send money to Yang Xiaolin for Sun Wen, and also brought a letter from Sun Wen.

During this period of time, Sun Wenwen came to prepare for the uprising in the south and died, the reason is very simple, Sun Wen counted on the Japanese to provide him with a lot of material assistance when he revolted, but now the relationship between Japan and Russia is becoming more and more tense, where can he take care of Sun Wen when he is too busy to take care of himself?

Moreover, the Japanese government did not want to provoke the Manchus now, and in the upcoming war, they did not want the Manchus to cause trouble to Japan, so they could only push Sun Wen. Of course, Sun Wen also knows the situation, if there is still a glimmer of hope, even if the hope seems to be slim, Sun Wen will not give up. But now the problem is that there is no more at all, and Sun Wen can only postpone Jihua indefinitely.

When he was about to return all the money sponsored by overseas Chinese, he received a letter from Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong is like a manager sent by the investor, on the one hand, he helps Yang Xiaolin to operate the mountain, and on the other hand, he also returns the development of the mountain to Sun Wen.

Zhou Tong said in the letter that the situation here is more than he imagined. Although it is just a gang of bandits, Yang's kindness when he treats the Chinese is similar to the image rumored outside. Yulun Mountain has already expanded the first base area, and on that base area, the first thing Yang Dagui established was not his headquarters, but an elementary school!

The rows of red brick and black tile houses look very neat, much more beautiful than the headquarters built by Yang Dagui with grass huts on the Yulu Mountain. Also, Yang Dagui did not collect money from those ordinary people, Yang Xiaolin said that the people of the Qing Dynasty were very bitter, the Japanese robbed, the Russians robbed, and the Manchu court also robbed, so he didn't rob it.

Zhou Tong was very emotional, although he had just come to Yulun Mountain when he wrote the letter, and he had not yet achieved such results, and he promised Yang Xiaolin to keep the semi-automatic rifle secret, but these were already able to give Sun Wen an unexpected surprise, and Sun Wen found that his investment was worth it. So he sent the fundraising funds that he was going to return to Yang Xiaolin, and he told Yang Xiaolin that if he could, it would be best to make some achievements in the near future, this is not that Sun Wen wants to get a return, but he must give an explanation to those overseas Chinese, so that those people understand that they will give money to a bandit.

Sun Wen also said in the letter that he would send a few people back to help Yang Xiaolin and ask Yang Xiaolin what kind of people he needed. Yang Xiaolin knew that after he took Sun Wen's money, it meant that their cooperation level was one step deeper. Sun Wen will definitely let the people of the Xingzhong Association come to his place, only let the other party take the money, and not let the other party take care of things, this is not cooperation.

Yang Xiaolin had already thought about it, even if Sun Wen didn't mention it, he would ask Sun Wen if he thought it was appropriate. Now he needs those overseas talents to come back and help him! When bandits can survive by robbery, but if they want to grow stronger, they can't count on robbery.

Now these people under him are already very difficult to run a radius of hundreds of miles under the mountain, and those brothers are good at fighting, spending money, and making money, and they have no experience in governing the local area. The whole situation is supported by Yang Du alone, and Yang Huizi is still a pair of jiashi who fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, this kid doesn't see rabbits and eagles, and doesn't let him see that he is about to succeed, he won't work hard for himself!

Fortunately, Yang Xiaolin did not fall out with those county orders, and the local order was maintained by a set of Manchu Qing systems, and if Yang Xiaolin wanted to develop, he must have his own set of systems, from economic and people's livelihood to political and military.

After reading Sun Wen's letter, Yang Xiaolin immediately wrote a reply, telling Sun Wen that the money had been received, and he did not say a polite word, because once the cooperation began, the transaction would not be done by himself, and Sun Wen would also have a share, so he should contribute. Yang Xiaolin asked Sun Wen to choose more people who have some experience in the economy and people's livelihood when he sent people to him, and he told Sun Wen that he was ready to open up the situation when the Russians had no time to take care of the Russo-Japanese War immediately! …,

Therefore, now those talents who know how to operate and manage must be in place, and when the time comes, they will be able to stabilize their own ground, and when the time is ripe, there will be a solid anti-Qing base in the northeast.

When Yang Xiaolin wrote a reply, Naogami Matsubara watched him write from the side, and saw that Yang Xiaolin agreed to Sun Wen's request and did not refuse Sun Wen's request, a smile appeared on his face, and then he was a little excited to see Yang Xiaolin write in the letter that he was ready to open up the situation when the Russians and Japan were at war.

In Naogami Matsubara's view, Yang Xiaolin's so-called opening up of the situation was nothing more than fighting the Russians, which was exactly what the Great Japanese Empire wanted to see.

When Yang Xiaolin finished writing the letter, he casually put it in an envelope, and handed it to Naogami Songyuan without sealing it: "Songyuan-kun, please help me transfer this letter to Mr. Sun Wen." ”

Naokami Matsubara took the letter with both hands: "Don't worry, Kobayashi-kun, I will definitely deliver the letter to Mr. Sun Wen as soon as possible, and I will not delay your big event." There is one more thing I would like to discuss with Kobayashi-kun, you know, the war between us Japanese and the Russians is about to break out, and the current situation is very tense. ”

Although Yang Xiaolin had already seen the signs, he was still a little excited when these words came out of the mouths of the Japanese themselves. Naogami Matsubara continued: "I heard that Kobayashi-kun, Feng Delin, and Zhang Zuolin have formed a situational alliance and are ready to do something in our war with the Russians, I am very interested to know, what does Kobayashi-kun want to do?" ”

When Matsubara asked this, his eyes looked at Yang Xiaolin. Yang Xiaolin knew for a long time that he could not hide this matter from the Japanese, nor from the Russians, let alone the Manchu government. At that time, tens of thousands of people on the mountain were watching when the three of them swore an oath, and it was strange that the Japanese didn't know.

He smiled: "Let's put it this way, my current plan is that if you fight, I will expand my territory." Come, Matsubara-kun, please see a range that I have drawn for myself. ”

He waved his hand, and a bandit hurriedly ran over to lay out the map, and Yang Xiaolin's hand drew on the map: "East of Fushun, to my current position, I want it all, this place is mine, to put it mildly, if you don't give it to me, we may not be friends." ”

The expression on Matsubara's face relaxed a little, this place is not within the scope of the Japanese competition, except for the Fushun area, if Yang Xiaolin goes too deep, it may conflict with the Japanese Shili, the others are not a problem.

Yang Xiaolin continued: "Of course, if the Japanese side can allow me to do this, I will give you something in return. ”

Naogami Matsubara smiled: "Kobayashi-kun, what can you give us in return?" ”

Yang Xiaolin's hand pointed at the location of Kaiyuan: "Here, the hub connecting the Russians to the north and south of our northeast region. If Matsubara-kun needs it, I'll rip off all the Russian railroad tracks in three days! ”

Naokami Matsubara listened to the heart of the joy! That's what he came to find Yang Xiaolin!

The Japanese happily left the mountain and went straight to Matsubara to promise Yang Xiaolin that as long as Yang Xiaolin could stand by the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese War, he would try to persuade the Japanese military to acquiesce in Yang Xiaolin's Shili range for the mountain.

In Naogami Matsubara's view, this is simply empty words. First of all, the Japanese have no intention of entering this place, what they are now preparing to fight with the Russians is the Liaodong region, and the places that Yang Xiaolin has drawn will still be in the hands of the Russians, and it doesn't matter if the Japanese admit it or not. Of course, if the Japanese really got more than they jihua, it would not be the turn of that Yang to say a word. …,

When the interests of the empire need it, promises are meant to be broken.

Obviously, Yang Xiaolin was also very clear about this truth, so three days later, when the time had come for him to promise Naogami Matsubara, the Russians' railroad tracks were still lying on the sleepers, and the trains passed through the same way, sending the things that the Russians needed from Heilongjiang to Liaoyang.

Yang Xiaolin was negotiating with a Russian general at this time. Commander Kulopatkin at first heard that there was a semi-automatic rifle in the Mountains, but he did not believe it, thinking that it was a reason concocted by the Russian officer, who had been caught by the bandits, in order to escape responsibility. But then several officers in a row said so, saying that they had all seen it, and Kulopatkin knew that it might be true.

So he sent a Russian military expert and a Russian colonel in charge of negotiations to Yulu Mountain to see if there was really such a gun.

Guns, already tried. The Russian colonel fired five shots in a row, and the bullets fired very smoothly, and the gun was obviously much more mature than he had thought before he came. The Russian military expert tried to disassemble the gun, but was stopped by Yang Xiaolin. The jishu content in this is very low, as long as this guy takes a look, he doesn't have to buy it right away!

"You've tried the gun, and now it's time for us to talk about the price. The price is negotiated, you can take this gun and do whatever you want, but for now, it is still mine. ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled as he spoke, put the gun on the table in front of him, and waited for the two guys to answer him.

The two Russians put their heads together and discussed in a low voice for a moment, Zuihou was obviously the two of them who agreed that they could make this deal, and the military expert raised his head: "Okay, you make a price, how much do you sell this gun?" ”

Yang Xiaolin's hand touched the handle of the gun: "There are two prices, one is that I will sell the gun to you first, and then make a gun and sell it to others, so that it will be cheaper, 100,000 rubles is enough." Another price is that I will only sell it to you, and I assure you that no second person will get it again, including my troops, and that this rifle will not be produced and used again for a year. This price is expensive, five million rubles. ”

The Russian military-industrial expert didn't think about it: "Well, we bought it, for a hundred thousand rubles." ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled slightly: "Then bother the two of you to wait for two days, and then answer you after I have asked the Japanese, maybe the Japanese are willing to do exclusive trading with me." ”

The faces of the military-industrial expert and the Russian colonel changed at the same time!

The semi-automatic rifles of the Russians are also almost ready, and they have been saying fast since last year, and they are only a little short of the imperfections of Zuihou. But when that little bit of imperfection will be perfected, no one knows!

Five million rubles is a sky-high price, and the Americans are not enough to buy a state from the Russians? In normal times, the Russians will not be in a hurry, and it doesn't matter if the Japanese are willing to buy them exclusively, with the strong military industry of the Russians, as long as this gun shows up, they will be able to produce it in large quantities immediately.

Now the problem is that little Japan is going to fight with them, and this gun is in the hands of the Japanese, which will undoubtedly cause great trouble for the Russian army, and may even change the outcome of this battle! Of course, the Russians, who believed in the power of the artillery, did not want to see such a situation, and the Russian colonel hurriedly said: "Wait! ”

Yang Xiaolin chuckled: "That's right, think about it again, if you two can't make the decision, go back and find someone who can call the shots, I can wait for you for a few more days." ”

The two Russian colonels, Zuihouna, stood up: "Okay, Yang Dagui, please give us a few more days, and we will go back and report to the commander immediately." ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Okay, but hurry up, you may not know that I am very busy for a while, and the Japanese asked me to pick up your railroad tracks, and I don't have time to do it until now." ”

The Russian colonel's face turned very ugly, he stood up, nodded and said, "Haode, thank you for the reminder." We'll go back now, and we'll give you an answer tomorrow night, and I'll ask you to keep this gun safe, and our rails. (Ask for a referral vote!) ）
