The news of Li Zihao snatching a civilian girl back home was not new, but it had spread in Dengfeng City. At the same time, everyone felt a little strange about the fact that he had killed the Japanese. It seemed that this warlord was much better than before.
Furthermore, all the Japanese in Dengfeng had been driven away by Li Zihao. This was awesome!
This made Qin Mingxi unhappy. Wasn't he no different from other warlords? If such a man became her husband, would she still have hope for her future?
But did she have the right to reject the marriage?
No, the Qin family didn't dare and didn't want to refuse.
It was better to say that the Qin family had climbed up to the Li family. Things were different now.
After receiving so many gifts, if he still wanted to reject them, he would be shameless.
A hundred large yellow croakers was definitely not a small sum of money for a wealthy family in this era.
The wedding was getting closer, but her mood was getting worse.
She wanted to run away from the wedding, but she was afraid of implicating her family. After all, Li Zihao was not someone to be trifled with!
In the Li Residence, the old man had been driven away. Looking at the tall walls and the cold soldiers, he could only think of another way.
Li Zihao had run out of patience. He looked at Li Heyun, who would rather die than submit, as if he was facing a porcupine that had nowhere to bite.
Who put the scissors there? It was most likely his good sister.
Marshal Li, don't come over." There was already a bloody mark on Li Heyun's neck. Otherwise, Li Zihao wouldn't have been frightened.
Li Qing was helpless. She scolded Lin Yu, who was blocking her way, for being a dog. However, Lin Yu didn't care at all because Li Qing had no right to deal with him. Besides, he was also here under the commander's orders to stop her.
Seeing this, Li Qing felt helpless. It was impossible to go to her mother because her mother wanted Li Zihao to have more women. How could she care about Li Zihao's feelings?
"Alright, don't be rash. I'll leave.”Li Zihao was helpless. It seemed that he couldn't force her. He had to use a roundabout tactic. As long as her heart wasn't made of iron, he would be able to warm it up one day.
Men were like this. The easier it was to get a woman, the less they would care about her. A woman like Li Heyun who would rather die than submit to him aroused Li Zihao's possessiveness. It was only interesting to conquer such a woman, wasn't it?
Li Zihao came out, but his face was a little dark. Li Qing saw Li Zihao and pushed Lin Yu away. She walked past Li Zihao and said angrily, then hurried into the house.
"Marshal, why don't you make some medicine?”
"No need."
"Do you want to meet the Westerners today?”
"Building a railway? He's probably just pretending to be a sheep's head and selling dog meat. See, I'll go change my clothes.”Li Zihao was in casual clothes, so he had to change into his military uniform.
There was no doubt that the railway was very important, but the trouble was that the construction was usually done by foreigners, and the quality of the project was not good.
Moreover, once it was built, it would be easy for foreigners to control it. The railway was like a tax, and it was a stable profit.
It was one of the best collaterals for loans. Foreign banks liked this method very much. There were also mines and the like.
In order to raise money for the army, the warlords would often sell out their country's sovereignty and even grow drugs. It was no joke that China was now the largest drug supplier, and foreign drugs could no longer be imported.
Who was the foreigner?
Naturally, it was the people of Britain. At this time, they were the country with the most interests in China, followed by Japan and Russia. However, Russia was still fighting a civil war and had no time to care about these issues.
"Hello, General Li. I'm so happy to finally see you today.”Danny Neil expressed his honor. The war in Russia was extremely intense now. Hu Lian had recovered many lost lands in succession and had become the biggest threat to the Russian regime in Eastern Europe.
Therefore, the foreigners ignored everything that Li Zihao had done when he returned home. As the saying went, only those with big fists could speak loudly.
"Are you going to sell me firearms? I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in the scrap metal that you foreigners sell at a high price. Don't treat me as someone who doesn't know what's good for you.”Li Zihao crossed his legs and had a bad attitude. He didn't have a good impression of the foreigners, so he didn't need to rely on them.
"Of course. General Li has fought in Europe and is very clear about everything. Naturally, I don't dare to cheat you. I'm here mainly for the construction of the railway. I hope you can give me the contracting rights for the Dengfeng section of the railway.”
"I think you're not just doing this for the railway. If you dare to covet our national treasure, I'll let you know what cruelty is.”
Neil was shocked by Li Zihao's attitude, because Li Zihao was different from the warlords he had dealt with in the past.
This was the birthplace of the Central Plains Dynasty. Currently, there were 13 stone watchtowers of the Han Dynasty in the country. It could be said to be a rare treasure.
Among these 13 watchtowers, Dengfeng occupied three of them, namely Shaoshi watchtower, Taishi watchtower, and Qimu watchtower. It was also the cultural hometown of Dayu.
In addition to all kinds of religious buildings, there were naturally many things worthy of foreigners 'attention.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Is General Li interested in building a railway?”
"Of course, the railway is a good thing. This has been proven in Europe. But the money and the quality of the project, how do you think we should solve it?”
The current central government couldn't afford to build a railway for the local government. The two sides were about to fight each other, and they were all prepared to fall out.
"Don't worry about that. Since we're building it, we naturally won't let you pay. However, we'll have to control the railway.”
What the Westerners meant was that Li Zihao only needed to agree to let them build the railway in Dengfeng, but it had nothing to do with him.
"Hehe, then what benefits do I get?”Li Zihao used the lid to remove the tea leaves floating on the tea. Why did he do such a good thing? It was better not to build the railway in the hands of foreigners.
Moreover, the construction of the railway required recruitment, but with the Westerners 'nature, most of them would deduct wages or something. This was a common thing in this era.
"You will gain the friendship of the British Empire. If you want to do something or do many things, we will support you.”
Even if Li Zihao did not take the initiative to look for the Westerners, they would still come knocking on his door. If he was so rude to the Japanese, then the Japanese would not support him. It was already publicly acknowledged that all the major warlords had the support of the great powers.
"No need. This condition can't move me.”
"How about the Military Fire? 3,000 guns, 10 cannons, 500,000 bullets, and 1,000 cannonballs.”Neil believed that Li Zihao, as a warlord, would definitely want weapons.
"I'm sorry, I don't want British weapons. My troops use Russian weapons, and the cannons are French.”
It was certain that they did not reach an agreement. In fact, the British wanted to make friends with Li Zihao. After all, they were allies in some places!
Lin Yu felt that the marshal was being a little too tough. Even if he didn't like the foreigners, he couldn't offend them. After all, China and the Yangtze River area were all under the influence of the British.
