The next day, Zhao Liang woke up early and realized that his arms were a little sore, but it was much better than before he went to bed. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Captain Wang already standing by the side of the ship, looking into the distance in the direction of the mainland.
Captain Wang turned around and saw Zhao Liang climbing out of the door. He immediately walked over and held Zhao Liang's hand. He asked with concern,
"Little Zhao, are you feeling better? Seeing you like that last night, I really couldn't bear to let anyone disturb you…"
"Captain…"
" Captain? Just call me Old Wang when there's no one around…That's more intimate…"
Zhao Liang's heart couldn't help but heat up. That's right, after coming here, everyone basically belonged to a lone wolf! However, a gust of sea breeze soon sobered up Zhao Liang, who was in a bad mood.
"Old Wang…Cough…Why does it feel so twisted? Forget it, I'll just call you captain. Otherwise, I'll think you're very old.!”
"Haha, then it's up to you…"
"Sigh! Captain, you woke up so early and didn't rest for a while. Are you alright?”
Captain Wang looked at Zhao Liang and turned his head to the mainland.
"Last night, Old Gong and the others went out for a while and captured the ship that was sent by the Qing Dynasty in the north…"
Captain Wang pointed.
"Look, it's that ship…"
"Isn't this a fishing boat?"
"That's right! It's a local fishing boat. It's been roped in by the government…"
"They're quite bold. It's windy and dark at night. How dare they cross the sea?”
"Aren't they afraid of the officials? According to them, before we came, they dared to come and go there during the day. Do you know why?”
Zhao Liang couldn't guess, so he could only say honestly,
"I don't know…I can't guess…"
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just a superstition. When we came over that day, there was a total solar eclipse here. Then, in less than a day, Old Gong and the others took over this place. Whether it was the officials or the common people here, they treated us as extraordinary. They always wanted to find out more, but they didn't dare to offend us…"
Captain Wang laughed.
"They really think that we are cultivators from some temple…that we are masters!”
Then, he continued seriously,
"In the past, other than not entering the city, they had always sent people to wander around outside. Moreover, they even captured those who were in contact with the British and brought them to Ning Bo as soon as they left the city! That was why it was like this now. Those in the city didn't care about those outside, and those outside didn't dare to enter the city casually. This was referring to the Chinese people. These were useless to the British. If it were us, the situation would be more or less the same. It's not that we didn't send people, but that no one dared to come!”
Zhao Liang understood a little. It turned out that his group of people had been seen clearly by the other party, but his side had not even understood a single thing about the other party! However, it was still considered good. Under the circumstances of Yin's mistake and Yang's mistake, they had allowed their group to take advantage of them. Now that they had captured the other party's "spy", there should be a show next, right? Zhao Liang hurriedly asked,
"Then what do we know? Are we going to take action?"
Captain Wang smiled and took a deep breath."
"We all want to act as soon as possible, but it depends on you!”
Zhao Liang felt a little strange.
"What does this have to do with me?"
"It means that when you're done with those people on land, we'll take action!”
Zhao Liang panicked when he heard that.
"I only have six people. No matter how fast we go, there won't be any! Seeing that this treaty is about to be signed, if we don't move and let them write it in black and white, it's useless no matter how we change it! Why don't we increase the manpower?"
"Yes, we definitely have to increase our manpower. We discussed it last night and the situation is a little clear now. The Qing Dynasty can't care about Zhoushan anymore. The British are going to attack Zhenjiang, so as long as we monitor the sea, there won't be too many problems! The key now is your place, so I've decided to add another squad to your place. This is the first step. The second step is to make those black devils move. Let them uproot the Qing Dynasty stronghold stationed in Ganlan!”
"Is this the so-called borrowing power to fight?”
"That's right! Now, we can't fight the British and the Qing Dynasty at the same time. We have to prevent ourselves from being busy at both ends…"
" This isn't right. Everyone here knows that we've captured these black people. Now that they've moved out, everyone naturally knows that we've sent them out…"
"We didn't send these black devils here. Do you remember those people on Tokyo Island? After they succeed, we will pretend to chase them away. They will escape to Zhenhai, and then we will quietly take care of those British people in Zhenhai. From now on, these black devils will stay in Zhenhai and watch over the Qing Dynasty people in Ningbo…"
Zhao Liang was very surprised when he heard this. This idea was really bad…but there seemed to be a problem.
"It's so complicated, but why would these black people listen to us?”
"At first, we didn't know. We only found out after contacting Tokyo Island last night that they already had such an idea. Do you know where these black people came from?”
This time, Zhao Liang was a little enlightened.
"Are they also 'able-bodied men'?"
" Something like that. They were all captured from the British colonies. Some were bought on the way. Usually, each of them only costs more than 50 yuan…"
This time, Zhao Liang really did not have such a concept.
"What is it? Are they slaves that you bought?"
"That's right! At first, we didn't believe it either, but now it's all fine. These black people are very grateful to us. Do you still remember that Teacher Chen? He was the one who had created all these situations…Moreover, they said that they wanted these black devils to be international allies! When this matter was over, he would send them back to their country and let them start a rebellion against the British in their own homes! Pull the British by their hind legs…"
When Zhao Liang heard this, he completely understood. He suddenly thought of how the British would definitely not let the matter rest after they had defeated them. The battle was getting bigger and bigger. If something were to happen and more forces were to join in, the First World War might start early…
Thinking of this, Zhao Liang felt a little scared. Unknowingly, he called out to Old Wang,
"I say, Old Wang, if this war really gets big, our strength won't be enough right now…"
Captain Wang acted as if nothing had happened.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Then, he laughed and said,
"Who said we were going to fight a big war? The ones fighting are the Europeans and the black people. What does it have to do with us? We only need to create firearms, and then we need to keep an eye on the Qing Dynasty and not let them go out to sea…That shouldn't be a big problem, right?”
After hearing this, Zhao Liang's head, which had just sobered up, suddenly became dizzy again. Was there such a good thing? This was even more shocking news than his transmigration! He really couldn't figure out what was going on inside. Wasn't this thinking too easy?
Captain Wang looked at Zhao Liang's expression and felt a bit proud. The reason was that when he first heard this, he was even worse than Zhao Liang. Now that he found a target to shift to, he was naturally snickering…
A report interrupted the two who wanted to continue their discussion. Zhao Liang could only hold infinite regret and listen to Captain Wang's low warning to keep it a secret. He reluctantly watched Captain Wang walk away...
By the time Zhao Liang finished his breakfast, the new team of instructors assigned to him was already ready to go.
When Zhao Liang led everyone to the training ground, he was surprised to find that the people in Daotou Town who came today were obviously in better spirits than yesterday. Each and every one of them raised their heads. From the way they puffed out their chests and raised their heads, it was impossible to tell that these were recruits who had only been here for two days! If it wasn't for the fact that he was still wearing those tattered clothes, Zhao Liang wouldn't even dare to recognize these people. Not only that, but she also saw Boss Yu standing at the side with his men early in the morning. It seemed like he was here to watch the training, but the baskets he brought did not seem to be…
Zhao Liang muttered in his heart. He raised his head and looked at the sun hanging on the top of the mountain in the east. The sun hadn't risen from the west yet, but what happened today was so amazing!
Looking at the team leader, Chen Dongbiao, raising his hand and saluting the team leader, Coach Zhang, Zhao Liang realized that these people must have "added dishes"! He was naturally happy and had some confidence in whether he could complete the mission!
When Boss Yu saw Zhao Liang, he ran over with small steps and bowed to greet him.
"Good morning, Director Zhao!"
"Good morning, Boss Yu! She didn't expect Boss Yu to be so enthusiastic! We should praise you properly!”
"Aiya! Director Zhao! I don't dare to say that. This is what I should do! Isn't everything that the Self-Defense Forces are doing for the local people? As a member of this place, I naturally can't fall behind. I can't help with anything else, but I can at least give these disciples some encouragement…"
Seeing Zhao Liang's puzzled expression, Boss Yu quickly explained,"
"Director Zhao might not know yet, but since last night, we disciples have been increasing our training time. I didn't make it last night, so I sent them breakfast early this morning to prevent them from delaying. I'll take care of all these in the future…"
When Zhao Liang heard this, he hadn't even done his thinking work yet. Why was Boss Yu so advanced? However, since the other party had already shown his merit, he could not save his words of encouragement.
"Boss Yu! You've done a great deed! You're worthy of our special mention. By the way, do you have any newspapers here? We want to publish your deeds in the newspaper and let everyone know how much Boss Yu cares for the soldiers in his hometown…"
Boss Yu's face turned green. This Zhao Liang really thought too highly of him! The other party had spent money and put in effort for the sake of his future profits. How could he be as noble as Zhao Liang said? However, he was riding on the tiger's back now, so he couldn't get down even if he wanted to…
