Chapter 49 Entering the New World
I posted two chapters today, please read them, thank you.
※※※※※※※※※
I remember that when I watched "October Siege", I got excited when I saw the plot of these benevolent and righteous people throwing their lives and blood for the revolution. But now that I am watching it again, although I still respect it, I feel that there are some things in the plot that are difficult to understand.
It’s not that it’s difficult to understand those martyrs who sacrificed their lives and blood for the revolution. There were many such people in that era.
What Hua Twelve feels is unreasonable is that in the movie, Mr. Chen Shaobai knew that Mr. Sun would be in danger when he came to Hong Kong, and even publicized the news of Mr. Sun's coming to Hong Kong in newspapers. Didn't he know that "enter the village quietly, and don't shoot anyone"?
Do all devils understand this?
If he didn't understand, he went to read the reviews. Hua Twelve searched online for reviews about this movie and found that many people had raised similar questions.
Some people also explained in the comments that this was to stimulate the revolutionary morale of the people.
Hua Twelve saw it but disagreed. If you explained it like this in the mainland, it would be fine, but it was in Hong Kong, which was still under the jurisdiction of the British at the time. It would definitely have little effect in stimulating people's morale there, and some losses would outweigh the gains.
mean.
Others say that the Qing court knew this already, so it might as well be more high-profile and use it as propaganda.
Hua Twelve wanted to laugh when he saw it. My eldest brother, Mr. Sun, came to Hong Kong to discuss uprisings in various places. It was too late to keep such a stupid thing a secret, so why should we publicize it?
He shook his head. Maybe he couldn't understand what the screenwriter had in mind, so he simply stopped worrying about it. His mission had little to do with it anyway.
However, watching the scene where Chong Yang and Fan Xiaopang played Yue Ru, Hua Twelve couldn't help but feel a twinge of embarrassment in his heart.
No matter what kind of person Zhongyang is, he and you Yueru have broken up. You can't let your ex-husband work for you just because your current husband is in danger!
Moreover, Yueru looked very matter-of-fact at that time, and in a bossy tone, she said: "Can't you do something dignified in your life?"
Please, what does your ex-husband’s dignity have to do with your current one?
Then Yueru told Chong Yang, saying that you have a daughter, and Li Yutang is your daughter's current father. Can you save her?
At this time, you shouldn’t ask back, why didn’t you say you were pregnant when you left?
Even if Zhong Yang is addicted to gambling, you should still tell him about your pregnancy. What if he changes his mind because of this?
At least in the plot, after Chong Yang knew that he had a daughter, he even sacrificed his life. Shouldn't you tell him about it and try to save him?
But Chong Yang actually agreed, and even sacrificed his own life for it, physically hitting Yan Xiaoguo's galloping horse to buy time for Li Yutang.
Before Shen Chongyang died, what flashed in his mind was the scene of him dragging Yueru and his daughter on his bicycle, and he was willing to die for it. At that time, Yueru, who was in the mansion of a wealthy merchant, was probably thinking all about Li Yushan.
.
Zhong Yang really licked it to the extreme, leaving nothing behind.
Yue Ru, played by Fan Xiaopang, is really a bit green tea in Hua Twelve's opinion. All your dissatisfaction with Zhongshan Mountain, okay, okay, it's all his fault, but if you want to separate it, you should do it thoroughly.
From now on, we won't disturb each other. How great would that be?
But your husband is in danger, threatening your prosperity and wealth as the fourth concubine, and you come to him again. This is a bit too much.
And when you left, you kept the matter of raising the baby a secret, so why tell it now? What was the purpose? Wasn't it just to use your daughter as a bargaining chip to make Chong Yang submit?
Hua had a cigarette at twelve o'clock, and after watching the movie again, he understood why Zhongyang was unwilling and wanted to watch his daughter grow up. He probably realized it before he died, so he didn't want to be a passerby, he wanted to save her. Everything, let his daughter come back to him, and want to show his appearance to that woman!
The day after watching the movie, Hua Twelve began to make a mission plan. First of all, he reminded himself that when entering the mission world, he should focus on the mission. Just make Chong Yang and his daughter live a good life, and don't worry about other things. .
The background at that time was the late Qing Dynasty. Faced with such a China, Hua Twelve reminded himself that he could at most provide some financial support and not do anything that would change history. Otherwise, although it was a parallel space, a person with vast supernatural powers could freely travel between the heavens and the worlds. The great god named He will not let him go.
In the next two days, Hua Twelve began to collect information in advance just as he did before entering the world of 'Young You', to prepare for his entry into the world of missions.
In "Young You", he made a fortune from stocks. Although there were no stocks in the "October" era, there were many ways to make a fortune, just a lot more.
Hua Twelve memorized information about oil fields and mineral deposits that had not yet been developed around the world at that time, and then memorized the formulas of sulfa and penicillin. These things were enough for him to live a wealthy life in that era.
Of course, he also knew that although these things were a cornucopia, they could only be used after they had a certain amount of power, otherwise they would become life-threatening talismans.
On the third day, before the system automatically issued the hemorrhoid reward, he chose to accept the mission, entered the mission world, and successfully avoided disaster.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of a hard knock on the table made Hua Twelve wake up from the endless darkness. He shook his head and the things in front of him gradually became clearer.
There was a gambling table in front of him. Opposite the gambling table sat a middle-aged man with a money rattail. This man was unkempt and looked like he had not slept all night. He said to Hua Twelve helplessly:
"Brother Chongyang, are you going to open the cards or not? It's already dawn, and if you don't sleep, we still have to sleep!"
Hua Twelve looked down and saw that his hands were pressing on some Pai Gow cards on the gaming table. Looking around, he saw that several casino guys were either leaning against pillars or sleeping on other simple gaming tables. In full swing.
At this moment, he quickly received the memory of Chong Yang. It turned out that today was the day when the police force paid salaries. As a Chinese in green, his monthly salary was five Hong Kong dollars.
Five Hong Kong dollars is a lot. In this era, Hong Kong's tax revenue was just five million pounds. Just looking at the amount, it was not as much as the young actresses in later generations would earn in a year. Of course, the purchasing power between the two is also different.
According to the information that Hua Twelve read in advance, Hong Kong was still on the silver standard in 1906. The value of one Hong Kong dollar was equivalent to one silver dollar. At this time, the largest face value of the Hong Kong dollar was five Hong Kong dollars. Due to the large area of the five-dollar note, it needed to be folded in half. It can be carried several times, so it is also called the 'big cotton tire'.
Therefore, Chongyang's monthly salary of five Hong Kong dollars is a "big cotton tire", which is equivalent to five silver dollars. In this era, he can already support his family. It is an income envied by many people in Hong Kong.
But in just one night, Chong Yang lost a lot of money, and the remaining three melons and two jujubes were also bet on this last card.
The middle-aged man opposite was obviously the banker, and he was constantly urging him to open the cards.
Hua Twelve looked up at the other party, and suddenly picked up a few banknotes with "Hong Kong and Shanghai HSBC Bank" printed on the table:
"I won't bet on this one anymore!"
As he spoke, he put the money into the pocket of his coarse cloth coat.
The face of the banker opposite, who was originally sleepy and sleepy, suddenly became cold and cold, and a dangerous aura flashed in his eyes as he reminded:
"Brother Chongyang, although you are a Chinese police officer, you should know that you cannot afford to offend the owner behind this gambling stall. You have already drawn all the cards. You can't take the money away. Even if you take it away, you will lose your life. Will you? Damn it, believe me, my brother is doing this for your own good!"
Hua Twelve's hand stopped. Obviously, although the casino looked broken, the person behind it was not easy to mess with. He was here to do a mission, and it was not easy to mess with him just after entering the mission world.
He immediately put the money back and said loudly:
Chapter completed!
