Chapter 15: Take Control of the Bai Family
The emergence of the Hei Family Army eventually caused some butterfly effects in this world.
During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing army suffered more than 19,000 casualties.
In this world, the assassination of the Hei Family Army in a month led to the death of several officers of the little Japanese, including a major general of the war faction. Therefore, in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the number of casualties of the Qing army exceeded 22,000.
Bai Jingqi assassinated three hundred little Japanese soldiers, and the little Japanese soldiers fought for their teeth and killed three thousand more Qing troops. This is one of the affected butterfly effects.
After the end of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing court signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which had been infamous for a hundred years.
The Qing court compensated Xiao Wozi the military funds and the treasury of 200 million taels of silver.
The Qing court ceded Taiwan Island and its affiliated islands, Penghu Islands, and Liaodong Peninsula to the little Japanese.
The Qing court opened trade ports such as Beijing, Shashi, Chongqing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, etc. to the little Japanese.
And the little Japanese were allowed to invest in and set up factories at the trading port.
Open the scope of navigation rights for inland rivers such as the Yangtze River, Xijiang River, Wusong River and Canal.
The location of the little Japanese troops and the military expenditure required were all borne by the Qing court!
Each of this shameful treaty was unequal and unfair, but in the end, Li Hongzhang signed on behalf of the Qing court. Ji Zongbu, who was standing aside, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with tears.
Li Hongzhang signed more than 30 unequal treaties in his life and became a famous papermaker in the late Qing Dynasty. The reason why he signed these treaties was Li Hongzhang.
Because this Li Zhongtang was the easiest to compromise, he was a famous peace seeker in the late Qing Dynasty. This time, the Qing court negotiator designated by Xiao Wuzi was Li Hongzhang.
After Li Zhongtang passed away, he left tens of millions of taels of silver and thousands of acres of land for his descendants. It can be seen that he has made great contributions to the Qing court over the years!
There was no way for both sides to discuss this time. In addition to the conditions under the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the little Japanese also made a request, that is, the Qing court must hand over the Hei Family Army and its leader Hei Qiye.
This request made the Qing court delegation inexplicable, and there was no Hei Family Army in the Qing army.
Finally, after understanding, the Qing court learned that Hei Qiye and his Hei Family Army assassinated more than 300 small Japanese soldiers in Lushun last year, including more than 20 officers and even a major general.
The most important point is that when the little Japanese soldiers faced those black family troops, they were often assassinated for no reason. Even as they walked, a child who seemed to be thirteen or fourteen years old came towards him. The child was carrying a shoulder pole, and his appearance was almost no different from that of the local working children.
But just as they passed by, the child's shoulder pole suddenly turned into a sharp knife. The child's body was astonishingly fast, and the assassination technique was often fatal. He never used a second knife. He knew the fatal parts of the human body very well. Once he succeeded, the little ghost would quickly disguise and disappear, making it impossible to track down.
Most of the people lost by the Hei Family Army were traps set by Xiao Wuzi in the later stage, but even if it was a trap, Xiao Wuzi suffered heavy losses. In the end, he paid 300 soldiers to kill more than 40 Hei Family Army troops.
These Black Family Army soldiers are all thirteen or fourteen years old, and the biggest one is no more than eighteen years old. They are so young, with sophisticated assassination skills and good at infiltrating. This is an absolute big concern for the little Japanese.
At first, the little Wozi thought that this army was the Qing court's army, but later learned through internal personnel that there was no Hei Family Army in the Qing court's army, and there was no thirteen or fourteen-year-old assassination organization.
The Qing court who received this news was also shocked. They had never heard of the Black Army. After the little Japanese handed over the interrogation materials to the Qing government delegation to read, the Qing court sent the materials to the capital overnight.
Because the interrogation materials mentioned that the Hei Family Army trained more than 600 people, and more than 40 miles south of the suburbs of Beijing, a mountain village called Wangjiagou was undergoing two-year training.
Moreover, the twenty instructors who trained them were elites who were able to fly sand and rocks and were proficient in all kinds of martial arts. In addition to physical training, they also had good at training assassination and infiltration.
After receiving this material, the Qing court sent thousands of Qing soldiers to Wangjiagou overnight. Unfortunately, they naturally couldn't get any of them, and only saw the empty Poshan Village.
The information provided by Xiao Wuzi was actually shocked by the Qing court than Xiao Wuzi, and he was even more afraid of this mysterious team called the Black Family Army. You should know that this Qing Dynasty War, the Qing court completely knew that Xiao Wuzi was not easy to mess with.
And this Black Family Army was able to assassinate more than 300 soldiers, even one major general, within one month. The most amazing thing was that it also sneaked into the small Wozi military camp and eliminated the five rebel Black Family Army.
If the Hei Family Army sneaked into the palace to assassinate the Lafayette and the Emperor, wouldn’t it be easy?
So how could the Qing court not be afraid?
Unfortunately, these five Black Family Army were just new recruits who had just been training for two years. The secret they knew was only Wangjiagou. So not only did the Qing court lose a lot, but the little Japanese also couldn't figure out who the Black Family Army was.
However, the loss of such heavy losses to the Hei Family Army was naturally not going to give up. He asked the Qing court to pay an additional three million taels of silver for this and asked the Qing court to step up the pursuit of the Hei Family Army.
So after the Qing government delegation returned to Beijing, they told the court about this matter, but the Qing government now has two different attitudes towards arresting the Hei Family Army. The old witch was worried about her own safety, so she asked the relevant departments to step up the search of the Hei Family Army.
After hearing the Hei Family Army's achievements, Guangxu was very excited. Not only did he prohibit the capture of the Hei Family Army, he also wanted to secretly recruit the Hei Family Army, but in the end, he didn't even catch a ghost.
In this war against the little Japanese, the main war faction was Emperor Guangxu, and the main peace faction was naturally the old witch. After the failure of this war, Emperor Guangxu's power was completely liquidated and once again became a puppet.
After Bai Jingqi announced his takeover of the Bai family on New Year's Eve, except for Bai Laosan, no other Bai Laoda and cheap dad were opposed.
Although Bai Jingqi is only fifteen years old this year, Boss Bai still handed over the Bai family to Bai Jingqi as he followed his father's last wish. Besides, he is indeed not the quick information. The situation of the Bai family has been getting worse every year in recent years, and everyone can see it.
Bai Wenshi and Bai Yingxuan were naturally full of joy. Not to mention whether their son could manage the Bai family well. As long as their son returned to the Bai family to manage the family affairs, he would definitely not run away in the future. Now that it is so chaotic outside, the things said in the newspaper every day made Bai Wenshi frightened.
Bai Wen's plan has been made. In another two years, he will marry Bai Jingqi and tie the child up completely. No matter how difficult life is, the best thing for the family is to be together.
But Bai Wenshi obviously thought too much, and his son no longer looked like this on the surface.
Bai Jingqi has another identity as the Black Seventh Master, now the underground emperor of the capital. It is no exaggeration to not only control the entire beggar circle in the capital, but also have spies among the forces of the three religions and the nine ranks. Controlling the beggar circle can provide his Black Family Army with a steady stream of students, control other three religions and the nine ranks, and inquire about big and small news in the capital.
In addition to these, Hei Qiye also has a Hei Family Army of more than 100 people. These more than 100 people are Hei Qiye’s real trump card.
Just after the Spring Festival in the fifth year, Bai Jingqi announced that he would take over the Bai family. The first thing he did after taking over the Bai family was to check the number of assets of the Bai family.
This investigation can be regarded as a thorough understanding of the true background of the Bai family. In fact, most of the Bai family are physical assets and three sub-region industries across the country. The largest part of the assets is medicinal materials. The total value of the precious medicinal materials and ordinary medicinal materials that the Bai family has hoarded over the years is more than one million taels of silver.
This is just the medicinal materials, and other cash savings exceed 300,000 taels. This is the savings of the Bai family over the years. Most of this money is stored in major banks for interest, and there are even banks with foreign devils, just in case.
In addition to these, the Bai family's other assets are also worth hundreds of thousands of taels. In short, the Bai family's total assets now exceed two million taels of silver.
Nowadays, there should be no more than twenty large households with total assets of more than two million taels of silver in the capital. Bai Jingqi did not expect that the Bai family was so rich. No wonder the family was worse than one year. Even the palace still owed more than 400,000 taels. The Bai family can still be glorious. This is the foundation of a century-old family.
But even if it is two million taels, for the Qing Dynasty, this little money is not enough to fill the gap. In February, Li Haijun signed a Shimonoseki Treaty in Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonoseki's Shimonose
A few years later, Li Hongzhang signed another hundred-year-old treaty in the capital, which was even more outrageous this time. The compensation was more than 450 million taels of silver, plus interest, more than 980 million taels of taels. Moreover, the Eight-Nation Alliance burned, killed, looted property in the capital, which was even more astronomical.
All these are happening in this era. How can Bai Jingqi, who is in history, not angry?
What's more, I have the ability to change my destiny, and I have to do some things within my ability.
After Bai Jingqi took office, he began to clean up some businesses that the Bai family did not make money, and began to sell some fixed assets and try to recover cash. But he knew what disaster would happen to the capital in five years.
Bai Jingqi's move caused controversy among many people in the Bai family, because he sold his ancestral business as soon as he took over the Bai family's business. This was simply a rebellious thing, and Bai Laosan began to act evil again.
Bai Jingqi was not used to Bai Laosan this time, but after all, he was his third uncle, so he couldn't go too far. So on this day, Bai Laosan went to visit the kiln and had an argument with a customer. In the end, the two fought. Bai Laosan was broken several ribs, and one of the legs was stabbed hard by the other party's knife.
In this way, Master Bai San was completely unable to make a fuss and had to lie on the bed for half a year.
The second thing Bai Jingqi did was to stop providing medicinal materials in the palace and let his uncle cry in the palace. He said that the Bai family is struggling to survive now and they have to sell their ancestral property. If the palace does not pay back the money, the Bai family will not be able to survive.
Although the Qing court paid compensation for years, it was not without money. Last year, the old witch celebrated her 60th birthday and spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. When she celebrated her birthday, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was still fighting. The Qing court retreated one after another, and thousands of officers and soldiers were killed. However, the old witch still had the heart to listen to the opera, and asked to listen to the opera for three days, and put forward the absurd request of "listening to the opera for three days, and everything was delayed."
The Bai family's medicine was famous in the Qing Dynasty. Except for the Bai family, other pharmacies were unable to handle the medicine needs in the palace, and even the quality could not meet the needs of the palace.
Bai Jingqi wished that the palace would issue an imperial edict to waive the Bai family's imperial edict. The Qing court had only about ten years left. This was Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and it was worse than one year. At that time, he would owe more and more money, and sooner or later he would drag down the Bai family.
After Bai Jingqi took over the head of the family, the third thing he did was to open several new businesses, including an escort agency and a drug research institute.
The escort agency is to provide cover for the Hei Family Army and to provide convenience for the Bai Family business in the future.
Regarding the Institute of Drug Research, Bai Jingqi wants to start the development of the Bai family's ancestral business in a new direction. He wants to organize some professional talents to develop more drugs for treating trauma. In the next few decades, the First World War, the Second World War, and even the domestic warlords' melee, the drugs needed are astronomical quantities.
Compared with the Bai family, such good conditions can do more things. In fact, in recent years, he has been thinking about the future development direction of the Bai family. If the Bai family develops a global pharmaceutical giant, it may be the real development path of the Bai family.
However, the Hei Family Army is the protective force of the Bai Family in the future. He holds medicine in one hand and Gatlin in the other, and asks you if you accept it!
With the protection of the Bai family's industrial, the Hei family army was like fish entering the sea, without any trace.
The new training camp plan for the Hei Family Army will still be carried out. However, this time, Bai Jingqi will try to develop further away from the capital. The fifth batch of training camps will recruit 3,000 young beggars, and 200 to 300 reserve personnel of the Hei Family Army will be selected from them.
After this training is over, the sixth batch will no longer be recruited. After the selection of the fifth batch of members is over, there will be enough personnel for the time being. In the future, he will change his selection method, that is, establish a school.
In the future, he will not only choose a special forces ace who is good at single-soldier combat, but also need more technical talents. He will set up private schools to select talents, which will be more hidden and more comprehensive.
In the future, the selected talents and the liberal arts talents who are good at technology will work in the special department of the Bai family's pharmaceutical company, while those who are good at force will enter the Hei family army and develop on both sides to better prepare for the future.
The signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1995 allowed the great powers of all countries to fully recognize the strength of the Qing Dynasty. The results of the Westernization Movement for 30 years were defeated by a small island country. The compensation of hundreds of millions of silver made countless powerful people's eyes red. Why can you little Japanese rob the Qing court's silver? We great powers have to make a fortune, so the great powers of all countries began to sharpen their swords and rush toward pigs and sheep...!
