Chapter 607 Openly Smuggling Arms

The leader of the cavalry was General Representative Kimura, riding a tall, snow-white Japanese horse and wearing sunglasses very proudly. Behind him were two ronin bodyguards with long and short Japanese swords stuck in their waists.

Riding on a pony behind a dozen Japanese horses was actually a group of officers from the Green Camp of the Qing Army. The group was led by a commander, and the Qing Army had about a platoon.

"Mr. Kimura, why are you here!"

I saw Song Menqing walking up to Kimura in two steps and stepping forward respectfully to ask.

In this territory of western Ganxi, you may not know anyone, but you must know Kimura.

He is the general representative of the Japanese-funded Zhengyuan Co., Ltd. in western Jiangxi. He has jurisdiction over many mining, textile, inn and other enterprises. He is very wealthy and a veritable financier. From Pingxiang County to the magistrate, he is a government official and a dignitary.

Everyone down to the inn and restaurant manager knows him.

Now, even the Green Camp of the Qing Army is fawning over him. No one in the officialdom knows that Mr. Nie, the governor of Jiangxi, has a close friendship with the Japanese.

"I'm here to personally inform you that the empire's cargo ship has arrived at Pingxiang East Pier. There is some cargo that belongs to you. Please arrange for personnel to unload it!"

Kimura did not dismount. He held his head high and spoke condescendingly to Song Menqing, just like a master giving rewards to his loyal slaves.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Kimura. Please come in and rest for a while. I will immediately arrange for someone to pick up the goods, and then..." Song Menqing was flattered. After bowing deeply, he prepared to step forward and help Kimura dismount.

"No need, Song Sang. After your arrangements are completed, follow me to the eastern suburbs immediately." Kimura waved his hand and refused.

"I obey!"

Song Menqing turned to Master Ye and his deputy Weng Tongqing, who were standing nearby, and asked them to lead the team to the East Pier. He then mounted the horse brought by his own soldiers and followed Kimura to the eastern suburbs.

Only halfway through did he realize that the eastern suburbs Kimura mentioned was actually the headquarters of the Tiger Gang. Did he have to bravely go to see his old club?

I'm not afraid, but running away from the battlefield and betraying my former employer is not a glorious thing. After all, Song Menqing is a man in the world, and he still needs to be shameless. He was thinking about what to say when they met, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

When they arrived at the Tiger Gang's camp, the bandit guards saw the Dongyang people Mucun coming with dozens of heavily armed men and horses. There were also Qing troops in the crowd. They were so frightened that they thought they were going to do harm to the gang leader.

They neither dared to let go easily, nor dared to bear the gun, and remained in a stalemate at a loss.

At this time, Lu Wenhu's deputy Mozanti was leading a patrol. Hearing a quarrel outside the camp gate, he hurried over. At a glance, he saw that the leader was Kimura from Japan. He hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and bowed deeply. "You guys don't know Kimura."

Sir, when you arrive, you are far away from us. Please forgive the recklessness of these guards."

Kimura didn't have much favorable impressions of the second leader of the Tiger Gang. This guy was cunning and full of bad ideas, and he gave Lu Wenhu bad ideas. Just by his surname and first name, he knew he was an outsider, not a Han.

Dongyang people have relatively high regard for the Han people. It is said that the ancestors of the Dongying people are actually Tang people who traveled eastward. Some people on the island once advocated that they are the same clan and the same clan.

As for other foreigners, they looked down upon them at all. The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the decline of the Qing Dynasty were a sharp contrast.

Kimura shook his nose and snorted coldly, then spoke condescendingly to Mozanti in a deep voice:

"Don't be afraid, we are here to bring good news to your tiger gang. Where is your boss? The pangolin tiger should now be called the xiashan tiger!"

"Here, Mr. Kimura, please follow me!"

Mozanti did not dare to talk nonsense and took Kimun to Lu Wenhu's Chinese army camp. Song Menqing did not follow.

In the past two days, Lu Wenhu decided to fight to the end, so he arranged for his deputies to quickly train the team, wait for the ammunition and equipment of the Dongyang people to arrive, and then fight to the death with the Fengghong Mining Security Team.

In the base camp, his life was much more comfortable than in Gongjiling in Anyuan Mountain. There were fine wines and delicacies here, as well as several concubines to sleep with, and his life was very nourishing.

"Mr. Kimura, why are you here?"

Lu Wenhu was still angry when he was suddenly woken up, but when he saw Mozanti and Kimura coming in, he immediately gave up.

He put on a flattering smile, quickly dressed and stood up to greet him.

"I've got the assistance you asked for a few days ago and sent it to the East Pier for you. You can go to the East Pier with me to unload the goods later. I'm here to get the two mine procedures now!" Kimura looked at Panshanhu with disgust.

His fat body, hollowed out by wine and sex, snorted coldly.

"No problem, as long as I have all the equipment and ammunition I want, I will give you the mine procedures immediately!" Lu Wenhu replied without hesitation.

"Okay! Come with me to the East Pier. Let's inspect the goods and go through the formalities at the same time. How about that?!"

"No problem, just follow Mr. Kimura's advice. I will sort out the relevant procedures. Please wait a moment."

"No, I'll wait for you at the East Pier. You have to come over quickly." After saying that, he turned around and exited the camp, riding away.

Kimura, who was also a professional soldier, couldn't stand Lu Wenhu's cowardly behavior.

Baga! I am preparing for battle here and there, and I am simply enjoying it.

There is a saying that the upper beam is not straight but the lower beam is crooked. With such a leader, can the Tiger Gang defeat the Fengzhong Mining Security Team?

Kimura groaned inwardly, but it would be better if he recognized the true identity of this guy as soon as possible. This time he could exchange for two mines. This business would not be a loss at all and he would make a huge profit. He could also give an explanation to the president, Mr. Hideo Fujita.

.



About thirty minutes later, Lu Wenhu led hundreds of gangsters, pushing coal wheelbarrows and several old ox carts to the East Pier to deliver and pick up the goods.

The East Wharf is another water transport wharf in Pingxiang County. It is a government-run public wharf under the jurisdiction of the local water transport yamen. Compared with the Songjiafang Wharf controlled by Fengzhong Mining, it is much smaller and looks shabby.

It is not a deep-water port and cannot accommodate large cargo ships of 1,000 tons. There is no equipment on the dock, only ragged dock coolies.

There were three barges of 500 to 600 tons docked at the pier when they entered the port, flying the sun flag of the Oriental island country. The people on board were all Oriental ronin.

After the Sino-Japanese War, in accordance with the Treaty of Shimonoseki, many places, ports, terminals, and shipping lines in the Qing Dynasty were open to Japan. Japanese-registered ships flying the sun flag could enter and exit freely without customs declaration and inspection.

However, openly smuggling and selling arms within the territory of the Qing Dynasty violated the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Kimura had many methods. He called Lvying to come to the dock for this purpose, to cover up people's eyes and avoid unnecessary troubles.

One of the three ships was already being loaded and unloaded, so it was obviously not cargo belonging to the Tiger Gang.

Lu Wenhu came over to say hello to Kimura. After the two sides exchanged a few words, they immediately arranged for their men to go through the delivery list of goods, as well as the verification of mining procedures, signatures and deposits, etc.
