I don’t know if it’s the powerful repair ability of the plot, or Huang Feihong’s genuine sense of justice.
In short, after the injured fisherman's injury was completely stabilized, Huang Feihong decided to help him get an explanation and find an Englishman to compensate the fisherman's medical expenses.
"Master Huang, if you think carefully before you shoot the bow, there will be no turning back!"
Wu Dong didn't mean to stop him, he just wanted to make the consequences clear so that he wouldn't be caught off guard and embarrassed if something unexpected happened later.
The other thing is to let Huang Feihong be mentally prepared early.
We have been in contact for more than half a year, and I have a clear understanding of Huang Feihong’s character.
He is definitely a good person with conscience, but his personality is a bit indecisive and his sense of justice is a bit too intense.
In one-third of an acre of land in Foshan, even British businessmen have to give enough face, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward.
This is the powerful deterrent power that militia has had since its explosive development.
However, when directly confronting the foreign diplomats entrenched in Guangzhou, not only did they have to face the pressure from the foreigners themselves, but they also had to consider the government's reaction.
It’s not that I’m afraid, but I need to be mentally prepared.
The Black Flag Army has begun to move its defenses at this time. I believe it won't be long before the imperial court's attention in Guangzhou will be focused on the Foshan militia.
Who is called the militia and has such a deep connection with the Black Flag Army?
Of course, the militia was well prepared at this time and even split itself up, in order to reduce the hostility from the court.
The court can still accommodate a group training of a thousand people.
But if Huang Feihong took the initiative to provoke foreigners, the situation would be different.
The Qing court's current attitude towards foreigners is to try not to cause trouble and do not like trouble.
"A Dong, don't you think foreigners are bullying others?"
Huang Feihong said angrily: "Now that we have met, there is no reason not to help to the end!"
As for the trouble, he didn't think much about it at all.
I just think that justice is on my side, and foreigners have to give some face, right?
Wu Dong didn't say much, he just nodded to express his understanding.
Speaking of which, in the plot of the movie, Huang Feihong took the initiative to talk to the British official representative in Guangzhou to talk about statistics, which he felt was very baffling.
England was so awesome at that time. It had not experienced the Boer War, and its national power was at its peak. Even if the Qing Dynasty had not been completely conquered, it was still unscrupulous in Guangzhou.
The official British representative in Guangzhou was considered a middle-level official in the colonial system of the British Empire. How could he give Huang Feihong the face of a local celebrity?
In the plot of the movie, this scene looks like two big guys talking about numbers.
To be blunt, Huang Feihong was not even qualified to see the other party.
In fact, reality is reality, and unlike the movie that deliberately highlights the glorious image of Huang Feihong, this time Huang Feihong went out and came back defeated.
Just as Wu Dong thought, Huang Feihong couldn't even see the other party's face.
The letter of greeting sent to the British official office in Guangzhou seemed to have disappeared without any news.
This result obviously exceeded Huang Feihong's expectation...
In addition to silently watching the development of the situation, Wu Dong also took frequent actions in private.
Declining Huang Feihong's invitation, he began to further streamline and divert members of the vigilante group.
I had a premonition in my heart that what Huang Feihong did this time would lead to unpredictable consequences, so I had to make plans in advance.
Coincidentally, the escort agency and fleet, which had already established a foothold in Guangdong, kept sending letters asking for more manpower.
After all, he comes from a militia group, so he naturally has more trust in his brothers in the militia group.
Moreover, Wu Dong provided literacy training and other training within the militia, which was considered quite 'professional' in this era.
The trained militiamen are young and strong. Not only are they all talents, at least they will not fall behind when placed in key positions and can complete tasks well.
Among them, it would be even more exciting if there are a few more people who have the style of generals and have the potential to stand alone.
In short, the fleet and the escort agency are running smoothly, so they naturally need more manpower.
Originally, Wu Dong planned to send people there in batches and use the home base of the militia as a talent training base to maintain an orderly and healthy development trend.
But the situation is different now, and Huang Feihong's behavior is likely to cause serious consequences.
Apart from anything else, once a militia group is targeted by the imperial court, it will be impossible to do anything they want to do in the future, not to mention that they have done many taboo things before.
Then simply send a large number of manpower out in advance and rebuild the training base in Guangzhou.
I don’t know what Huang Feihong thinks. It seems that he wants to fight against the British warship shooting incident, but he pays less attention to the militia.
At this time, the militia had truly fallen into Wu Dong's control.
He was not polite, and held a secret meeting with Yan Zhendong and several captains of the militia, with his younger brother as the attendant, explained the situation clearly, and then made arrangements directly.
Soon, more than five hundred young people from the militia left and dispersed to Guangzhou to join the fleet and escort agency.
Wu Dong entrusted Yan Zhendong to make a trip in person to explain the situation clearly to Zhu Zhurong who was based in Guangzhou, hoping that he could properly stabilize the two industries in Guangzhou.
Here, Huang Feihong got the news that another brother in the vigilante group was separated, but he didn't care much about it.
He smiled and said to Wu Dong: "A Dong, you can handle such matters by yourself. I can rest assured that you will be in charge of the militia!"
Wu Dong was speechless, thinking that I don't trust myself.
Since Huang Feihong trusted him so much, he was not polite and sent another 300 young people to Hainan Island, intending to find a port to set up a camp here.
If it weren't for the lack of strength at hand and the small size of the fleet, he would have wanted to plant a flag on Treasure Island.
At this time, Huai Army General Liu Mingchuan was the boss of Treasure Island. If the militia could successfully plant their flag there at this time, they might even indirectly have a relationship with the Beiyang Clan that currently rules the Qing Dynasty.
It’s not that there must be any benefits, at least there are no disadvantages, right?
Without further ado, after being diverted again, the number of people in the Foshan militia's headquarters at this time was only in their early 400s.
The scale has suddenly shrunk to such an extent that anyone who doesn't understand the situation will think that the vigilante group is nothing more than that, and is about the same size as local gangs.
This was the view of the Admiral of Guangdong Province who was alarmed by Huang Feihong's actions and came to Foshan to find trouble.
That's right, even Wu Dong didn't expect that soon after Huang Feihong approached the British official agency in Guangzhou to seek justice for the injured fishermen, the actions and reactions of the Guangdong Provincial Admiral would be so quick.
When Wu Dong heard the news, he could only sigh that the Qing government had indeed targeted the militia. Fortunately, his actions were quick and concealed enough.
Unexpectedly, the admiral was not polite at all and directly brought people to the door to attack...
