Chapter 240: Behind the Scenes
Chapter 240 The Behind the Scenes
"Haha..." Wang Jin was also feeling much more relaxed after all. After all, the opposition was the most awesome British man of this era. He could force a consul to surrender. Although the truth was on his side, the national situation was able to do this step, which was enough to make him happy for a while.
It was not until he left Wuhu on a boat that Li Gu came to his senses and was still a little disbelief. His eyes looked at Wang Jin with hesitation: "This, Mr. Wang, will things happen again and again, right?"
Wang Jin glared at the guy with dissatisfaction, shook his head and said affirmatively: "That shouldn't happen. Although the initiative is not in our hands, the British consul will understand what to do as long as he is not dizzy. For him, how can a bullshit royal sailor compare to his political future?"
"That's good, that's good..." Li Gu patted his chest repeatedly, looking lingering fear.
...
The next morning, the Wuhu Consulate consulates the Wuhu prefect and once again discussed the solution to the incident. Because two British sailors were indeed injured and several Chinese were hired to die, the Wuhu prefect gritted his teeth and compensated more than 10,000 taels of silver for medical expenses, and also agreed to some of the British's affiliated requests. Of course, although the prefect pretended to be like a prefect, when he turned around and found Li Gu, the asking price increased by at least several times.
Given that both sides were quite guilty, the peace talks did not happen at all and reached a successful ending. After receiving the news, Li Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that he had escaped a great disaster!
Of course, the crime of death can be avoided and the punishment of the governor's office was late at this time. Fortunately, this guy was promptly cleared and managed to make good efforts. With the mediation of his colleagues, the new governor followed the public's opinion and just gave a slight punishment to deal with the salary. He was also very satisfied with the perfect ending of the matter.
Li Gu immediately became obsessed with the old ways and did not take the little insignificant punishment from the governor's yamen seriously. He held a banquet at Tianxiang Tower that night, and also took this opportunity to plunder the huge consumption of this incident.
Li Gu, who was cheering and commuting, shouted loudly, hugging the red-faced cashiers, was probably never dreaming that the real behind the arms smuggling incident was the great benefactor Wang Jin, who was grateful to him at this time!
Of course, Wang Jin did not expect that things would develop to such a point at the beginning. If there were indeed British sailors who died that night, it would be hard to say where the matter would develop. At that time, things would definitely be big, and maybe even alarm the big guys in the capital, but I believe that he would take the blame in the end!
By the way, he really didn't intend. When he sent Wu Fengfan away, the Xinguang Restoration Association discussed a new strategy, which was to provoke the armed forces of the surrounding areas, distract the Qing army's attention, and provide a good external environment for the Xinguang Restoration. But what caught him a little off guard was that the Xinguang Restoration Association was ready, but the Xinguang Restoration was sent by the new governor Zhu Jiabao to quell the riots of refugees in various parts of Anhui. I just don't know if this was Zhu Jiabao's intentional work or unintentional work...
However, the chess pieces and means that were laid out before gradually played a role.
In Anhui Province, where ideological chaos and turbulent, traditional ideas and foreign ideas have serious conflicts. The rumors of our family flying here are everywhere. The rumors about the Anhui Society Party coming up are mixed with them, so it doesn’t seem abrupt. It just so happened that when the rumors started, a rebellion of the Society Party really occurred in Huaibei, and the government’s attention was suddenly focused on the Society Party.
Although Anqing's "Light Revenge" was very happy, except for the thunderous means that it showed at the beginning, most of the time only launched public opinion offensives. When the New Revenge would launch a bomb terrorist attack, the head of Anhui was Feng Xu, who was not very tough. When Old Feng resigned from his post and returned to his home, the terrorist explosion attack had already been forgotten to Java. Even if it was rumored out of his mind, it was only used as a topic of conversation after dinner.
The echoes in Anhui are indeed not at peace. Since the rumors spread, the government has increased its efforts to suppress and destroy the parties in various places. Instead, they do not want to hide their strength and maintain a low profile. Instead, they are as if they are aroused from being soared to the sky. They do whatever the government prohibits, and they support whatever the government suppresses. In short, confront the Qing court to the end!
After hearing about the behavior of the Society Party, Wang Jin was really amused and crying. However, he had to admit that the Society Party did this arbitrary approach to attract the attention of part of the Anhui officialdom. Of course, he did not miss such a great opportunity. He took advantage of the Anqing Water Police Patrol to wipe out famous water bandits in the Yangtze River section of Anhui, and the Xinguanghui Association penetrated into the surrounding areas and successfully took the lead with the local Society Party armed forces.
It was not until this time that the armed armed parties in various places suddenly realized that there was a revolutionary organization called the New Restoration Society in Anhui, with powerful forces behind it. They had heard of the great names of the Restoration Society and Xu Xilin before, and they were not sure how much connection there was between the two.
However, no matter what, the armed forces in various regions still support the establishment of the New Refuge Association at their contact points. It is also a good thing to have a strong support? After several tests and intimate cooperation, the armed forces in various regions have completely relieved and recognized the power and strength of the New Refuge Association.
So, the local gang armed forces, who had tasted the sweetness, simply regarded the New Restoration Association stronghold stations stationed in various places as general logistics bases. The general intelligence, purchase and supplement of weapons and ammunition, the aftermath of the treatment of the wounded, and the contact and cooperation with local gang armed forces and small revolutionary groups, almost all fell on the New Restoration Association.
This arms transaction incident that almost caused an "international dispute" was actually completed by the Xinguang Refuge Association. I don't know where the news was leaked, but I was caught by Li Gu, a detective team like a mad dog. When Wang Jin learned the news, it was Li Gu who asked him for help, so he did his best to help Li Gu. Otherwise, how could he really be so kind?
