Tan Sitong and Wang Wu looked at each other and burst into laughter. Tan Sitong was not disgusted by this, because many famous anecdotes throughout the ages were left behind in such jokes.
Such as the pushing back diagram, Emperor Gaozu beheading the snake, Meng's mother moving three times, Sima Guang smashing the vat, etc... It has become a good talk among the literati.
Then Tan Sitong smiled and said:
"I really don't know any anecdotes. Brother Hu, please tell me."
Fang Linyan immediately said:
"I heard that Brother Tan was quite dull when he was young, but when he was five years old, he suddenly came back to life after being seriously ill and comatose for three days. From then on, he seemed to have been helped by a god, and he became known as a child prodigy in the village. Because of this, he got the name Resurrection?"
Tan Sitong said calmly:
"It is true that there are cases of recovery after serious illness, but Youruo exaggerated with divine help. He is still dull now. He is just doing things with sincerity."
"As expected..." Fang Linyan was a little surprised.
Among the information he had previously searched, many people suspected that Tan Sitong was a time traveler. The reason was that the incident when he was five years old was too similar to the experience of a time traveler.
Seriously ill, comatose and dying,
sudden and rapid recovery,
The performance is obviously different from before the illness,
Such a label is a standard traveler template.
So why did the Reform Movement of 1898 fail and why did he die here?
This is because Tan Sitong probably suffered from the mistake of trying to find a sword, and used the conventions of the plane before he traveled to the history of the plane after he traveled.
Fang Linyan knows very well that every parallel world is not exactly the same. Although the history is roughly the same, it may appear specious because some minor or even major time nodes are missing.
Tan Sitong is a standard Hunanese. He is upright and stubborn. He will never give up on something he has determined. He has the kind of character that will never look back until he hits the wall. Therefore, some people directly call him: Tan Manzi. As the saying goes, character determines destiny, so he The tragedy of a time traveler came out.
At this moment, a series of words suddenly popped up on Fang Linyan's retina:
"Hidden Milestone: The Mystery of the Traveler Is Triggered."
"Explanation: Regarding whether Tan Sitong is a time traveler, people from multiple dimensions have expressed very enthusiastic opinions. If you can find the truth and satisfy their curiosity, then you will receive generous rewards."
When he received this reminder, Fang Linyan's eyes lit up, he could have this.
For a gentleman like Tan Sitong, as long as he gained his trust, it would not be a matter of time to make false statements.
After the three of them talked for a while, Fang Linyan suddenly said:
"How is the situation with Mr. Song? I remember that the last time we contacted him, something didn't go well."
Wang Wu nodded and said with a somewhat bad expression:
"Yes, those British people took money from the little Japanese devils. They held hands with Mr. Song, hugged him very warmly, and even invited him to drink afternoon tea. But the next day they just spread their hands and said something sassy. Rui.”
"Fortunately, Mr. Song also has a wide circle of friends, so he doesn't take these setbacks to heart at all. Although he only sleeps for two or three hours a day, he is still full of energy and can deal with those people. Even if his voice is a little hoarse, he still Take the trouble to interact with every foreigner."
After hearing Wang Wu's description, Fang Linyan sighed slightly. Sure enough, everyone who can leave his mark on history must be outstanding!
At that time, the corruption of the Qing government was already world-famous. Song Yuren had to face more than just discrimination, ridicule, contempt, and ridicule abroad! Fang Linyan could infer Song Yuren's hardship at that time just by imagining it.
However, listening to Wang Wu's description, he didn't care about all of this. He ignored his personal honor and disgrace and continued to struggle with an indomitable spirit.
Fang Linyan and the others were fighting the enemy to the death, but Song Yuren was also fighting for a chance of victory for his own country and his own nation in his own way!!
Tan Sitong also lamented:
"Westerners are ambitious and only interested in profit. I have met Mr. Song several times. I have not been able to have a deep conversation, but I can deal with him repeatedly. He is so tenacious!"
Wang Wu then finally revealed a piece of good news. Youdao is worthy of his will. Although Song Yuren seemed to have hit a wall because he launched his plan earlier than in history, the money provided by Fang Linyan and the Qiao family helped him.
Another new door has opened!
There are always people in this world who don't like Japan as a country and are only interested in profit.
Song Yuren's money and demands were noticed by a wealthy businessman in Spain, another country rich in pirates. The wealthy businessman took the initiative to contact Song Yuren and said that he could provide four large armed merchant ships.
, these four ships can carry more than 3,000 combat troops!
What's even better is that these four ships are replenishing the Danshui in Malacca and are sailing towards Shanghai, which means they will be in position soon.
Of course, the Lord heard that Song Yuren had a large amount of money in his hands, and then he suddenly discovered that he had a "deep friendship" with Mr. Song.
In addition to asking for high rental fees, this guy also demanded post-war dividends, which was a bit excessive, but it was still negotiable.
In addition, although Song Yuren took the initiative to work hard and received little reward, the momentum building was relatively successful. Another opportunity came to him, and the Russian minister actually took the initiative to send someone to contact him!!
Hearing this, Fang Linyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked eagerly at Wang Wu and waited for him to continue speaking. However, Wang Wu actually fell silent, and Fang Linyan could only ask:
"and after?"
Wang Wu shrugged and said:
"Later, Mr. Song asked me to come to the concession in Tianjin, find someone from the Russian Consulate, and then give him a secret letter, so I don't know the details."
Fang Linyan thought about it in his mind. In the original history, Song Yuren's failed plan was to use British merchant ships to carry about 2,000 Australian sailors to raid Japan. However, this plan was probably about a year in advance, so there were many obstacles.
But the current plan is equally good. Using Spanish ships to transport a group of ferocious and violent Russians to attack the Japanese mainland sounds like a good idea.
Fang Linyan pondered for a moment and said:
"I really didn't expect such a variable, that the Russians would take the initiative to seek cooperation."
Tan Sitong sighed:
"The Russians are also greedy, rude, and profit-seeking. I once had a conversation with the Russian minister. If the ministers from Britain, France and other countries still want to put on a cloak of civilization, then the Russian minister is nakedly asking for benefits, otherwise he will
Just fall out."
Fang Linyan said:
"It's right to be rude, barbaric and greedy. Now that the country is weak, powerful officials are controlling government affairs and embezzling national interests. We have to deal with the great powers to pick chestnuts from the fire, drive away tigers and devour wolves, and use barbarians to control barbarians. It is inevitable."
"Russia has always been very wary of European countries, and the United Kingdom is even more interested in using Japan to contain Russia. On this point, we have common interests with them."
"As long as we can successfully divert the trouble eastward and cause friction or even conflict between Russia and Japan, then no matter how big our sacrifices are in the early stage and no matter how much money we spend, it will still be worth it!"
After hearing Fang Linyan's words, Wang Wu and Tan Sitong both nodded silently and agreed with his statement.
When the three of them were chatting happily, the sound of a fast horse came from outside, and then they saw Wang Wu's confidant Ma Kui rushing in. The horse under his crotch was wet with sweat and kept panting.
It turns out that he ran all the way here.
Ma Kui was stunned when he came in, then immediately greeted Fang Linyan, then raised the letter in his hand and signed:
"The envoy from Lao Maozi's side has replied!"
Wang Wu's character is cautious and heroic, and when doing business, he also adheres to the style of the escort agency, so he will not open either Song Yuren's letter or the Russian minister's reply at this time.
But Fang Linyan didn't have any big scruples. After taking it, he opened it and saw lines of Russian. Fortunately, he had already gained the ability to automatically recognize foreign languages when he entered this world. Otherwise, he would definitely
Also confused:
"Dear Song, I am very happy that Yin Wan successfully expressed my meaning to you accurately. I have deep disgust for Japan, a stupid, backward and greedy country. I heard that they even don’t even own their own beds.
None, just some seaweed and raw fish, oh God, I can’t even imagine what that kind of hellish life is like!”
"To your doubts, my answer is always YES! Forget about those weak sailors in Australia. Their only hobby is to play with each other, they will pee when they hear the sound of gunshots, and they reek of rotten eggs and gunpowder.
smell."
"I can guarantee that you can find at least four thousand young men in Vladivostok who are as strong as brown bears. They are seven feet tall and weigh more than two hundred pounds. Their favorite game is Russian roulette. They are strictly militarized.
Train and be very cruel to the enemy! If you give each of them a bottle of vodka, even if they are facing Satan, they will charge without courage!"
"So, Song, if you are willing to pay some meager hiring fees, then these young men will offer you that lovely loyalty, and they will eliminate all enemies in front of them like the Siberian wind!"
"Finally, if you are tempted by this, please don't forget my commission, okay! For the sake of our friendship, I can give you a preferential price, that is, 30% off. This is a trading house in St. Petersburg
Amazing discounts that have never appeared before, looking forward to your reply.”
