Years of the Republic of China 1913

After a while, Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui, two passionate youths with great longing for the revolution, happily became Fang Zida's people. On the grounds that their uniforms were not suitable for this mission, Fang Zida specially asked them to change into casual clothes. After changing their clothes, the two of them looked like ordinary young people, extraordinarily energetic and full of vigor.

The speed of the trains in this era is not fast, the speed is only [-] kilometers per hour, plus the stop at the station, you have to add water and coal, change the line, etc. After the start and stop, the second day finally calculates Hebei, slowly Entered the boundary of Shandong.

"Mr. Fang, you will be able to arrive in Yanzhou tomorrow." Zhang Huchen went outside for a walk, and said to Fang Zida when he came back.

"Everyone get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow we will change trains in Yanzhou." Fang Zida is also helpless for this slow train. Who makes China's railways fall behind? If the distance from north to south to Nanjing is changed in a hundred years, it will be It took about ten hours, but now it is like a snail crawling. It took almost three days to climb to Yanzhou, and when we got to Yanzhou, we had to change trains and continue southward, which was really frustrating.

Thinking of this, Fang Zida couldn't help but think of Sun Wensun's rhetoric. Last year, he slapped his head and came up with an ambitious goal. This goal was to build a railway that included sparsely populated places like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau. The total length of the national railway network is 32.5 kilometers, and it also claims to build a 18-kilometer railway line in ten years, which has attracted applause from all over the country. Such remarks remind Fang Zida of the so-called expert style of talking about it in later generations.We must know that China, 49 years later, spent nearly 60 years, invested tens of trillions of funds, and used tens of millions of manpower to build only 9 kilometers of railways, and built 18 kilometers of railway lines in ten years?It is simply a fantasy.However, some people would believe such big words, and Fang Zida couldn't help but sigh that Sun Wen's charm is really great.

Yanzhou, one of the ancient Kyushu, is known as "the thoroughfare of nine provinces, the throat of Qilu".When the car arrived in Yanzhou, Fang Zida and the others had to stay for half a day, then change cars and head south.

"Mr. Fang, there is still half a day to spare. Why don't we go for a stroll around the city?" Liu Zhi was still a young man. He was very curious about this ancient city when he came to Yanzhou for the first time. Besides, he couldn't even sit on the train for three days. It's numb, I finally had time to breathe, and I couldn't help thinking about it.

Although Xiong Shihui didn't open his mouth, Fang Zida could see from his expression that he also meant it, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, you guys go shopping, I like quietness, I'll wait for you at the station, remember to come back in time."

"Thank you, Mr. Fang." Liu Zhi and the others were immediately overjoyed. After saying their thanks, they made an appointment and left together. Just go together."

"Yes, sir." Although Zhang Huchen agreed, he still didn't go anywhere, and sat beside Fang Zida with his eyes slightly closed.

Zhang Huchen is really a good follower, since he thinks so, there is no need to force it, Fang Zida picks up the book on his own, and leans back on the chair to read it with interest.

Time passed quickly, four hours passed in a blink of an eye, I raised my hand to look at my watch, it was not much time to leave the car, but Liu Zhi and the others hadn't come back yet.Frowning, Fang Zida said: "Hu Chen, go and see, why haven't these two boys come back yet?"

Zhang Huchen got up quickly and walked out to find someone.After waiting for a while, Zhang Huchen came back in a hurry, and said to Fang Zida anxiously: "It's not good, Mr. Fang, I searched around a few times but couldn't find anyone, but just now I heard someone on the street say that an hour ago Two young men who looked like students were arrested."

"Arrested? Who caught it? Yanzhou police?" Fang Zida asked in surprise.

"No, it's from the Patrol Battalion."

"The Patrol Battalion?" Fang Zida was taken aback, Yanzhou Patrol Battalion?Isn't this the guard of Tian Zhongyu's men?How could Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui be arrested suddenly?Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, got up with a sullen face and said, "Let's go! Let's go and have a look."

He hurried to the patrol camp on the edge of the city, and before he got close, several ferocious soldiers with guns came to chase him away. Fang Zida avoided trouble and stuffed a few Bank of Communications tickets, and the other party calmed down and accepted it with a smile.

"Bosses, I would like to ask you something. Two of my companions just got off the train and went to the city to do business. I heard that they were arrested for no reason by the brothers from the patrol battalion. I would like to ask what happened?"

"Our brother arrested your man? Why didn't I know about this? Hey! Jiang Laosan, do you know?" The leading lieutenant (equal to the rank of lieutenant) turned to ask another person, and that person also shook his head: "Catch People? We’re not the police, so why arrest people when we’re full?”

But another soldier thought of something, scratched his head and muttered: "It seems that there is such a thing, just now I saw Liu Waizui swearing, took a few brothers and took two people in, maybe he arrested them."

"Liu Waizui? Who is he?" Fang Zida asked anxiously.

The lieutenant smiled and said: "Liu Waizui is a distant relative who has taken refuge in the commander-in-chief. He was appointed a warrant officer in our patrol battalion half a year ago. My friend, if your people offend Liu Waizui, it will fall into his hands." Li, this matter is difficult to do, but easy to do..."

Fang Zida knowingly stuffed two more tickets to the lieutenant, and bowed again and again with a smile: "Mr. Boss, we are all real businessmen doing business. Youdao is relying on friends when you are away from home. Please give me your advice." Give pointers."

Satisfied, he put the ticket into his pocket, and then the lieutenant lowered his voice and said: "Liu Waizui got a job in our patrol camp because of his relationship with the second cousin of the commander-in-chief's fifth concubine. Skills, eating, drinking and having fun are all simple, but people love face and money the most, and the backstage is also tough. I guess your people have offended him in some way. If you want him to let him go, you have to draw some blood. I understand. brother?"

"Understood, understood!" Fang Zida suddenly realized, and quickly cupped his hands to thank him, but then sighed in embarrassment: "Boss, but I don't know this person well, and you see, we are just passing by here, and we have to catch the train back to our hometown soon .Can I ask you to do me a favor? Help us unblock it? Of course, boss, don’t worry! This will definitely not treat you badly.” After speaking, Fang Zida twisted his fingers and made a gesture of counting money.

"Okay! I'll take care of this trivial matter!" The lieutenant's eyes lit up immediately, and he smiled boldly: "We Shandong men like to be straightforward when doing things, so wait here!"

The lieutenant left a few words, greeted the two brothers and ran into the station excitedly, the remaining soldiers gathered around and chatted happily, Fang Zida was not idle, took out a cigarette and scattered around, Chatted with them one after another.

Not long after, the lieutenant who went in came out, pulled Fang Zida aside and said with a sullen face: "Brother, this matter is a bit troublesome for you. Liu Waizui is getting angry. He just opened his mouth to ask for this number. If it doesn't work If you don’t, your people will have to be treated as rebels to…”

Making a beheading gesture, the lieutenant stared at Fang Zida, waiting for him to make up his mind.How angry is Fang Zida, these two brats caused trouble as soon as they left the house, could it be that what they said on the train was for nothing?But he couldn't just ignore it, he gritted his teeth after thinking about it, nodded and said, "Success! I'll do as you said!"

Counting out a stack of bank notes to a lieutenant, Fang Zida begged again.The other party squinted his eyes and said with a straight smile: "Okay, I promise to bring you out!"

After waiting for ten minutes, Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui, who were bruised and swollen but still indignant, were finally released. When the two guys saw Fang Zida, they were taken aback for a moment, and then they were extremely ashamed. head.

"Thank you Boss, thank you Boss!" He quietly handed over the benefits he had prepared to a lieutenant, turned his head and cursed at the two unlucky guys: "Look at your future! If you make trouble for me, hurry up and follow me! "

He was speechless all the way, and when he arrived at the station, the train was about to leave. He hurriedly got on the train and entered the box. Then Fang Zida looked at them with a gloomy face, and said, "Tell me, two revolutionary heroes, what is going on? What's going on?"
