Chapter 066 The Hate People
Zhou Charter laughed and said, "Well said, if we are really Japanese, everything will be at your service."
The thin man turned out of the cabin, and Zhou Charter and Guo Er were escorted by the four strong men and followed the thin man to the deck.
On the sea, the wind and waves are calm and cloudless. A rising sun leaps out of the sea from the east, and the sea shines golden.
It's been a night, and it's dawn.
A group of people in black and short skirts are busy on the deck. Some are tightening the cables, some are cleaning the deck, and some are pulling up the sails. They are busy, but they cooperate with each other, which seems very well.
Zhou Charter can't help but secretly suspect that the clothes these people wear are very similar to the uniforms of the Qing army. They are all short leggings, but the color is black, and there is no circle behind their chests. Looking at their actions, they also seem to be organized. Although they are busy, they are methodical, like a paramilitary organization.
After a while, Zhou Charter and Guo Erpole followed the thin man to the bow. There was an umbrella on the bow, a three-legged coffee table under the umbrella, a printed tablecloth on the coffee table, an iron back chair, leaning on a middle-aged man in a robe and a horse coat.
The middle-aged man was bareheaded and dragged a shiny braid behind his head. There was no need under his jaw. A pair of phoenix eyes were narrowed and facing the sea. He held a dark iron teapot in one hand. The teapot was as big as a bucket, at least 20 pounds. The middle-aged man dragged it with one hand and effortlessly sent the spout to his mouth from time to time to drink. Two people are very leisurely.
Zhou Charter secretly shouted in his heart that this middle-aged man looked elegant, but his arm strength was amazing, no worse than Guo Erba.
Seven or eight burly men stood around the umbrella with their hands in their hands. These men were wrapped in black belts around their waists, and the clothes under their waists were bulging.
Zhou Charter and Guo Erpole looked at each other, and both of them could see that there were no guys under the clothes of these men in black.
The thin man came to the middle-aged man, bowed his fist and saluted, and shouted softly, "Marshal!"
The middle-aged man handed the iron teapot in his hand to the thin man. The thin man hurriedly grabbed it with both hands, but staggered and almost sat on the deck.
"Useless things!" The middle-aged man scolded.
The thin man did not dare to talk back. He carefully put the iron teapot on the coffee table, retreated aside, and stood with his hand.
The middle-aged man sneered at Zhou Charter.
Zhou Charter was tied with his hands, so he had to nod to the middle-aged man, bow and said, "My Jin Chengwu is from Anzhou in North Korea. This is my servant, Guo Dahai, a native of Fengtianfu in the Qing Dynasty. Thank you very much for our help. May I ask your name?
The middle-aged man looked up to the sky and laughed: "Do you want to know my name so much?"
"Sir, if we have the grace to save our lives, how can we not know the name of the savior!" Zhou Charter said.
"The grace of saving my life?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "How do you know I want to save you?"
Zhou Charter laughed and said, "Sir is really funny. Yesterday, the two of us fell into the sea. If it hadn't been for your help, we would have returned to the sea now!"
"Well, it's not too late to let your souls return to the sea." The middle-aged man sneered, stood up, flicked his silk robe, carried his hands behind his back, and walked to the bow of the boat.
The thin man who had been standing beside the middle-aged man waved his hand, and the man in black rushed up and raised Zhou Charter and Guo Erba. He raised it over his head and was about to throw it into the sea.
Zhou Charter and Guo Erba were tied to their hands and feet. If they were thrown into the sea, they really had to feed the bastards!
Zhou Charter shouted, "What's your name, sir!"
The middle-aged man laughed: "When you die, do you still want to know my name? Is my name so important?
Zhou Charter laughed and said, "I don't even know the name of the benefactor. If you see the king of hell, you are also a fool. It's not easy to say to the lord of hell."
The middle-aged man picked up the iron teapot, put it to his mouth, took a sip, and said, "What a lifesaver, I'm going to kill you now!"
Zhou Charter lay on the head of everyone and laughed: "Sir saved me yesterday, who is my lifesaver. Now it is also your right to take back my life, and there is no complaint. I only know one thing. If you are saved, you must repay each other. If you can't repay in this life, you will also repay in the afterlife. So, anyway, sir, please tell me your name. When I Jinchengwu came to the underworld, I should also keep it in mind.
The middle-aged man sneered: "I can't see it, but you are also a little bold! When I die, the words are not ambiguous at all! Anyway, Zhang Xiaolin, put them down first. Tell them who I am!"
The men in black put Zhou Charter and Guo Er pole back on the deck.
The thin man named Zhang Xiaolin shouted at Zhou Charter and Guo Er pole: "You two Japanese listen..."
"I'm not Japanese!" Guo Erpole shouted, "I'm from the Qing Dynasty!"
"Our commander said that you are Japanese, and you are Japanese!" The man named Zhang Xiaolin shouted, "Our marshal will not change his name or change his surname. Marshal Zeng Guozhang, the great marshal of Chongming. My Marshal Zeng hates two kinds of people the most, one of whom is Japanese. These two people fell into the hands of my Marshal Zeng, five horses and smashed ten thousand pieces of corpses! Generally speaking, I should have dismembered you two Japanese, but my Marshal Zeng just saved you yesterday, and today I dismembered your five horses. It really doesn't make sense. Therefore, take a compromise, leave you a whole body and throw it into the sea. This is also my marshal's special kindness. You two are not happy to thank you.
Zhou Charter and Guo Erzhuan have never heard of Marshal Zeng. Seeing that Zeng Guozhang seems to have some ability, he calls himself a general and is not an officer or a soldier. After talking for a long time, he doesn't understand what this group of people are doing, but he secretly complains in his heart because there are no braids. This inexplicable Zeng Marshal believes that they are Japanese. The two are hard to argue.
Zhou Charter had to ask, "In this way, there are two kinds of people that Marshal Zeng hate most in his life. So, in addition to the Japanese, what kind of person is there?"
Just as Zhang Xiaolin was about to open his mouth, Zeng Guozhang became anxious and smashed the iron teapot on the iron tea table, and the whole boat shook: "Well, let you two understand! Zeng Guozhang, what I hate most in my life is not the Japanese. What I hate most is the general of the Qing Dynasty! Damn, the army of the Qing Dynasty can't fight foreign devils. They were defeated in a battle. During the Daoguang period, the British were defeated. During the Xianfeng period, they lost to the British and French allied forces. In the Guangxu period, the Japanese were beaten up! Damn, but these soldiers are good at bullying the common people, fighting the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Nian army, and the knife meeting. Son of a bitch, one is darker than the other! If these Qing soldiers and generals fall into my hands, I must scratch them with my own hands!"
Zhou Charter nodded secretly. This idea of Zeng Guochang actually represents the views of a considerable number of ordinary people. The army of the Qing Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent, and it was repeatedly defeated in foreign wars, but the civil war was fierce. What's more, it falsely rewarded the achievements of innocent people. Ordinary people dare to be angry and dare not say anything, but this Zeng Guochang dares to say what he dares to do! Moreover, he also calls himself a grand marshal!
It seems that this Zeng Guozhang and a man in black should be people outside the system.
This sea area should be the sea from Zhoushan Islands to Shanghai. This Zeng Guozhang claims to be the Grand Marshal of Chongming. It seems that this area should not be far from Chongming Island. Zhou Charter knows that there are many gangs along the coast of Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, including the Youth Gang, Hongmen, Sanhe Association, Brother and so on. This Zeng Guozhang should be a member of the gang, but I don't know which gang they belong to.
The more Zeng Guochang scolded, the more energetic he became: "What I hate most is not those son of Qing soldiers and generals. What I hate most is the Zhou Charter of that son of a bitch!"
Zeng Guochang suddenly called out Zhou Charter's name, which shocked Zhou Charter, but saw Zeng Guochang scolding himself and didn't notice Zhou Charter's face change at all.
"Those Qing soldiers and generals are eagles and dogs raised by the court. It's also a matter to help the court bully the people! The Zhou Charter of the son of a bitch, the court did not like him. The Empress Dowager Buddha wanted to punish him, but he was still determined to help the court fight! I think he is a brain-damaged person! He is a son of a bitch, but he shouldn't help the court beat the Japanese!"
"Is it wrong to beat the Japanese! Don't you hate the Japanese too?" Zhou Charter was not happy. This Zeng Guozhang scolded him for being brain-damaged, and he also admitted that the Empress Dowager Cixi was turned into a drowned chicken and almost buried in the sea. It was indeed brain-damaged. Zhou Charter was unconvinced when he scolded him for not beating the Japanese.
Zeng Guozhang shouted, "Well, I'll teach you a lesson today. You all listen honestly and see if what I'm saying is reasonable!"
Zhang Xiaolin and the people in black around him answered: "Listen to the coach." Standing down and looking like that, General Zeng often teaches them. Everyone knows the rules of this class.
Zeng Guozhang picked up the iron teapot, took a sip, and shouted, "Why do the Qing soldiers and generals dare to bully the people blatantly? Raise your hand to answer the question!"
The people in black raised their hands one after another. Zeng Guozhang pointed to a thin and tall man, who held his head high and replied, "Because they have a gun in their hands!"
Zeng Guozhang nodded and then asked, "Where did they get the gun in their hands?"
A short fat man raised his hand and replied, "It was sent by the court."
Zeng Guozhang nodded and asked, "Where did the gun of the court come from?"
A circle leg raised his hand and replied, "The court bought it with silver!"
"Where did the silver of the court come from?"
A pumazi raised his hand and answered, "The personal income tax paid by ordinary people!"
Zeng Guozhang was indignant: "Buy guns with the personal income tax paid by the people, and then bully the people with the guns they bought for forced demolition!" Damn, should this court die?
"Damn it!" The people in black answered in unison, with loud voices and full of righteous indignation.
