Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 150 Treaties
Leaving Lu's mansion, Lu Heng managed to stop a rickshaw and said he was going to the Shanghai Bund Maternity and Children's Association.

Along the way, I heard bursts of firecrackers, as if it was a festival, and the driver who pulled the rickshaw couldn't finish talking excitedly.

The three foreign warships were sunk in the river mouth, and the other warships fled in panic. The common people don't know the specifics, they only think that they have won the victory over the foreigners, and the joy is self-evident.

First, the Eight-Power Allied Forces attacked the capital, which made people panic.In the blink of an eye here, the foreigner's fleet was severely damaged.My heart was suddenly raised again.

Lu Heng is like an outsider, he has heard and seen, but there is no disturbance in his heart.

One is that he did this because he wanted to express his anger for himself; the other is that Lu Heng knows that someone will complain soon.

The foreigners have all gone, what about the factories run by foreigners?What about the workers working in the factory?What if the goods cannot leave the port?
At that time, the livelihood of the people will become a problem, and today's hero will be beaten by everyone immediately.

Fortunately, Lu Heng has already passed this hurdle - Yuan Gongbao helped him a lot.These things have long since ceased to haunt my mind.It's just that he doesn't lose his heart, he does whatever he wants, and doesn't care about other people's opinions.

When I arrived at the Women's and Children's Association, there were firecrackers flying around the door.After giving the coachman a dime of silver, Lu Heng strolled in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw some big girls and young daughters-in-law holding some babies, chirping and chatting excitedly.Lin Hei'er smiled happily, holding a baby in her arms, shaking and coaxing her.

Seeing Lu Heng coming in, Lin Hei'er smiled even wider, hurried up to greet her, and said, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Heng looked at the child in her arms with a smile, and said, "This child is quite cute."

Lin Heier smiled and said, "It's the poor child rescued by my husband earlier. Look at him, he's white and tender, how well-behaved."

Lu Heng also laughed, feeling very relieved.

He doesn't care how others praise him.Only these children survived, and Lu Hengji was very happy.This is the most important.

Talking, into the back room.

Lu Heng said: "Did you encounter any trouble during this time?"

Lin Heier said: "There is a gentleman in town, and the Green Gang will protect you. Waiting for someone to look for troubles from the Women and Children's Association. These days are very good, fulfilling and satisfying. Although I am busy, I am happy in my heart."

Lu Heng laughed: "I'm a lazy person, all these things are hanging on you, ashamed, ashamed."

Lin Heier shook her head: "Mr. Lu, you are the most important thing. Without you, where would we be now?"

Lu Heng laughed and shook his head: "You, don't praise me."

After sitting down, a sister brought a bowl of hot tea, and Lu Heng took a few sips happily: "Comfortable."

Lin Heier then said: "Sir, the sinking of the ship at the river estuary just now must have been your means. That's great, the foreigners are rampant and bullying us in China, and the Manchu Qing is submissive and weak. Today, I finally vented my anger."

Lu Heng shook his head slightly: "The anger is out. But the consequences haven't come yet. You see firecrackers are set off like New Year's Eve. After a few days, the factories of foreigners will be closed and the goods at the port will not be able to get out. Then I will The target of public criticism."

Lin Heier was startled, thinking of the consequences, she was immediately speechless.

Then he became anxious: "Then what should I do?"

Lu Heng waved his hand: "It's just a small matter. As long as it doesn't linger on my mind, why do all kinds of things happen to me? As for the consequences, it's actually nothing. Shanghai Bund is a place where foreigners flock to. As long as there is money to be made here, foreigners should come. still coming."

Paused: "Just before that, they will find a way to solve my problem. If they don't solve it, they dare not come."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to stop Lin Heier's impatience, and said with a smile: "It's not what you imagined—they can't do anything to me. I guess they will find a way to find a middleman to make peace, give me a soft hand, and promise me something Conditions, get my promise. Only then will I come to the beach.”

He smiled and said, "I'll go to Xu Baoshan's house to stay for a few days later, waiting for someone to come to the door."

After hearing this, Lin Hei'er felt a faint realization in her heart, and then suddenly said: "Could it be that this is all in Mr.'s calculation?"

Lu Heng laughed: "It's not that I don't care about it. I know the nature of foreigners. In fact, everyone should know the nature of foreigners. They are afraid of power and not virtuous. It is absolutely difficult for foreigners to be honest and not to be afraid of him. .”

"The foreigner's concession was pushed away last night. Today, Japan intends to attract the foreigner's fleet and sink them all. I didn't expect the foreigner to slip away so fast and failed to do their best."

"But the prediction is enough to make foreigners tremble." Lu Heng finished his tea and stood up: "I'll just wait for the foreigners to come and see how they make peace."

He walked out and turned around suddenly: "Tell me, what do you think if I force foreigners to sign some kind of treaty?"

Lin Hei'er was suddenly as sluggish as a stone.

This operation is a bit unimaginable.

There is a great sense of contrast—the Qing court has always signed treaties with foreigners, all kinds of submissiveness, all kinds of surrender, and all kinds of traitorousness.Now there is a person, alone, who wants to force the foreigners to sign a treaty, and wants the foreigners to be subdued. Thinking about that scene, it must be very joyful!
After leaving the Women's and Children's Association, Lu Heng took a rickshaw to Xu Baoshan's house.

When I arrived at Xu Baoshan's house, it was indeed more magnificent than Lu's mansion, but compared with the westernized features of Lu's mansion, his place has more local characteristics.

Someone had already gone in to report, and Xu Baoshan came out in a hurry to welcome Lu Heng into the room.

After being offered some tea, Xu Baoshan said, "Mr. Lu, what you did today caused Shanghai to be blown up, and the whole country is about to be blown up. The whole world will be shocked."

Lu Heng waved his hand: "Don't tell me this. Mr. Xu, I came to you. With your wit and wit, you should know why I came?"

Xu Baoshan paused, then hesitated and said, "Mr. Lu is waiting for the reaction of the foreigners?"

Lu Heng said: "Master Xu can become the overlord of the Jianghuai River, it is very human."

Xu Baoshan knew that he had guessed right, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief: "Mr. made a point."

Lu Heng cut straight to the point: "Foreigners have suffered a great loss and retreat temporarily, but they will not give up on Shanghai Beach. Shanghai Beach is the best foreign port in China today, and there are a lot of money hidden here. Foreigners are reluctant, they must pay back. Will come. But if you come to Shanghai Beach again, you have to pass my test. Tell me, what are they going to do?"

Xu Baoshan hesitated for a moment: "With your ability, Mr., the foreigners have no other choice. It is impossible for them to send someone to assassinate Mr., it is useless. They can only bow their heads and give in. Well, find a middleman and make peace."

Lu Heng laughed loudly: "Master Xu is indeed wise, he thought of it with me."

Then he said: "Then I will borrow your house and meet the middleman of foreigners."

Xu Baoshan had no objection, and immediately said: "What do you tell Mr. Xu to do?"
