Chapter 40 New Technology
"Mr. Li is definitely not a simple person. From his conversation, I can feel that he has extraordinary lofty ambitions. His courage to bombard the Western Concession is definitely not a temporary reckless behavior, but from his confidence. I think he must be confident to do this. As for how to deal with the subsequent things, I think we will listen to his opinions." Although Ma Chaoyun and Li Tiancheng met for a short time, he has extraordinary ability to recognize people. He can judge how confident he has from Li Tiancheng's behavior and conversation.
"If the Qing court was afraid of foreigners and used the new army to deal with us and Mr. Li, and with hundreds of thousands of new army members across the country, could Mr. Li have the confidence to fight against him?" Lu Yuzheng could not believe Ma Chaoyun's words.
"Don't worry, war is an art, and it's not something that can be won with too many people. This Mr. Li is extraordinary. Let's wait and see. This person will make a lot of noise." Ma Chaoyun still believed in his judgment.
"I hope Mr. Li can provide us with a hiding place."
"Now go to the barracks, and take the rest of the troops to Mr. Li's territory together. I believe his soldiers are waiting for us to go there."
"Isn't Mr. Li a team of only a few hundred people in Shanghai? How could he have an army?"
"I don't understand this. Can ordinary teams bombard the concession so accurately across more than ten miles, and the shells land accurately near the barracks. Is this what ordinary militia can do?" Ma Chaoyun responded with a light smile.
"Oh, it seems that Mr. Li is really hidden. We underestimate him."
Then Ma Chaoyun and Lu Yuzheng quickly returned to the garrison battalion to mobilize their troops and drove towards Li Tiancheng in an industrial area in the southeast of Nanshi City.
"Brother Ma, Brother Lu, thank you two for your hard work. I have been waiting here for a long time. Hurry up and drive the troops to my garrison." Li Tiancheng and his guards lined up with more than 30 people, and there were about 200 soldiers, greeting Ma Chaoyun and Lu Yuzheng at a road intersection in the factory. The soldiers were holding the 81 rifles. They would not have carried them out so blatantly before. At this time, there was no need for Li Tiancheng to continue hiding his weakness. He would show up when it was time to draw his sword.
Ma Chaoyun and Lu Yuzheng looked at Li Tiancheng's soldiers. The team was neat and majestic, and everyone held the gun in a consistent posture. The standing posture was straight and powerful, and the weapons in their hands were extraordinary. They were immediately impressed, and Lu Yuzheng was even more surprised.
"Mr. Li is really a clever plan. We are going to come and surrender to you." Ma Chaoyun bowed and bowed, then smiled.
"Where, where, now that things have come to this point, you two have to hide in my factory for a while." Li Tiancheng had already made arrangements and left a large factory area for them to station.
"Mr. Li is ready to deal with it?" Ma Chaoyun asked immediately when he saw that Li Tiancheng's face was not changing, as if he was not concerned about what happened today.
"Brother Ma, don't worry, Li is not a vegetarian. My team can quickly gather into an army. I have sent people to guard the factory on Changxing Island, and the factory in Puxi has also been deployed. This time the matter will definitely make a big deal, and I must be prepared." Li Tiancheng said confidently.
"Mr. Li is indeed extraordinary. My brothers did not misunderstand. From now on, Ma is willing to follow Mr. Li and obey Mr. Li's orders." Ma Chaoyun then suddenly took half a step and politely polite Li Tiancheng in front of him.
"Master Ma is the commander of the army. How could Li let you be your subordinate? Wouldn't that be too incompetent?" Li Tiancheng was naturally happy when he heard Ma Chaoyun's words, but he did not show it and started to politely.
"Now my brothers are desperate and come to join Mr. Li. If Mr. Li refuses again, he will look down on our brothers. Please agree to our request."
"Please agree with Mr. Li!" Lu Yuzheng was a little surprised when he saw Ma Chaoyun want to recognize Li Tiancheng as the leader, thinking that no matter how capable this person is, his elder brother could not just condescend him like this, but he always followed Ma Chaoyun and Ma's leader, and immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Since the two trust me so much, Li will be disrespectful. In the future, you and my brothers will share the blessings and suffer difficulties. Let's do something here." Li Tiancheng did not continue to postpone it. After all, he is still the master here, so he naturally dare not be above him when he surrenders.
When Li Tiancheng was building the factory, he had already considered defense issues. Most of the factories in various places were built around mountains and rivers for easy defense. Most of the factories were connected together, with some villages occasionally mixed in the middle, and most of them were industrial areas in large areas. Shanghai's industrial areas were divided into two areas because Changxing Island had excellent deep-water port conditions, which was convenient for manufacturing large ships. Changxing Island's shipyards could build large ships of more than 300,000 tons, and there was no problem in building large warships such as aircraft carriers. This was all aimed at the long-term plan.
The factories in southeastern Shanghai rely on the Huangpu River and have an industrial area of about 30 square kilometers. Some of them are rented or bought wastelands and have not been developed. Most of the companies jointly venture with local people are in industrial areas, and a small number of factories are distributed in their own territory of local forces.
"The telegram order Yan Lisan was to speed up the production and reserve of weapons and ammunition, rectify the army, and do a good job in the defense of industrial areas. The arsenal was no longer necessary to continue to hide underground at this time and could carry out production with great fanfare. If there were not enough workers, he would allocate from skilled workers in other factories and be ready to launch military operations at any time." Li Tiancheng was issuing an order to the messenger.
"Pharmaceutical factories and equipment factories should store medicines and equipment for healing on a certain scale. In addition, drugs for preventing and treating various diseases should be accelerated, especially drugs for preventing and treating infectious diseases, in case of emergency."
The Biological Research Center in Zhenhua Technical School has developed two highly efficient antibiotics in the world a year ago: penicillin and streptomycin. The whole world was sensational. Unexpectedly, Chinese biologists actually mastered such advanced medical knowledge. Tuberculosis that has plagued mankind for thousands of years has been completely cured. From then on, there is hope. The treatment of a large number of infectious diseases has been solved due to the birth of penicillin. A large amount of funds at home and abroad have begun to flow into the Songjiang area to participate in the construction of pharmaceutical factories.
Due to racial discrimination, the Nobel Prize was not awarded to researchers at Zhenhua Technical School. Li Tiancheng didn't care, thinking that I didn't care about that vanity. I still have technology and the strength to turn into money.
Li Tiancheng not only sent a telegram to Yan Lisan of Songjiang to urge production, but also sent emergency telegrams to the heads of various places to make them ready for everything and strengthen the factory's defense, production and research work.
Li Tiancheng had been busy all morning and had only finished his communication work with various places. He leaned against the recliner and drank a glass of milk, squinted his eyes and rested for a while.
"Report! The Concession Law opened a trial for the mob attack on the Concession in the afternoon, and the verdict would be announced in the morning." A guard reported to Li Tiancheng about the news from the public concession.
“Did they strengthen their defense?”
"Yes, all their soldiers were deploying defenses throughout the concession and strengthening their vigilance."
"Okay, continue to investigate and reply as soon as possible if you have any information!"
The court in the public concession was guarded by soldiers everywhere outside, surrounding the court. Inside the judge's seat, an American judge wearing a judge's hat was trying more than 30 members of the Tiandihui Society, including Huangheshan and Zhang Tiewu, to attack the concession.
"Everyone stands up and now the verdict is announced!"
The jury and lawyers, as well as everyone in the auditor's seat, stood up, waiting for the judge's verdict.
"In light of the opinions of the jury, this judge now solemnly sentences that the Qing Dynasty's national man Huangheshan, Zhang Tiewu,... thirty-eight thugs will be sentenced to death, and will be executed in the temporary court of the concession in two days."
"I'll fuck your mother!"
"Dog Japanese, I won't spare you even when I go to the underworld!"
Huang Heshan, Zhang Tiewu and others immediately began to insult angrily. They were tortured with both hands and held in custody by soldiers. The defendant's dock could not accommodate so many people, and they all stood outside the defendant's dock in rows.
The foreigners in the court stood up and clapped their hands and applauded, and expressed their congratulations to the judge's verdict.
"These Chinese pigs should be cut into pieces!"
"Let him see God!"
The news soon reached Li Tiancheng and Ma Chaoyun's ears. Ma Chaoyun and Lu Yuzheng hurried to Li Tiancheng's office in the factory. There are several houses here, which are independent from the factory. Li Tiancheng sometimes lives here. Now he dares not go back to the house in Nanshi for the time being, and has been here for the past few days.
"Mr. Li, the matter has become a big deal anyway. I think those foreigners will deal with us soon. We are not afraid of continuing to cause trouble. We simply go to the court to rob the Dharma field and rescue the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Association." Ma Chaoyun immediately put forward his own opinion.
"Brother Ma, you and I have thought of going together, but this time we will get the greatest result at the lowest price." Li Tiancheng had already thought of a countermeasure before they arrived. Since he had already been involved, he could only flow this muddy water to the end.
"What should we do then? I will follow Mr. Li's order!"
"Let's go! Brother Ma, I'll take you to a place and show you a high-tech thing. With this thing, it will be much more convenient for us to rob the Dharma field." Li Tiancheng showed a mysterious smile.
Ma Chaoyun and Lu Yuzheng looked at each other, wondering if Li Tiancheng had any high-tech products. They visited the team's howitzer yesterday, which was already very shocked.
Li Tiancheng quickly took them to an engine research center a few miles away. There was a small factory next to the research center, and the factory gate was usually closed.
