After the New Year, Mu Tuan Zhang, in order to evade pursuit, took refuge in this Portuguese Colony. As a member of the Guomindang, he dared not carry out an assassination openly here, so he decided to stay.
Since Mu Tuan Zhang believed in living with dignity and integrity, he maintained his name and identity. Thus, Ze Anzhi was able to meet him quite easily.
I wonder why this gentleman has come to me through the bounty placed by others? When did I, Mu Xiyi, become so valuable?
Mr. Mu, are you not afraid that I am here to assassinate you?
Ha! Jiang Zhou Tai has no need to spend so much money! If he truly wanted me dead, one person and one bullet would suffice! So you are not here for that! Besides, I have not had any Jiang people around me for the past year or two; they left last year.
Well then, Mr. Mu, let me formally introduce myself. I am Ze Anzhi!
Mr. Ze, your surname is quite rare!
Haha, it is indeed a bit uncommon. Mr. Mu, I have come to see you because I have a question and would like to hear your honest answer.
Mr. Mu seems to be from the north, coming all this way just for one answer? I am very interested now!
Mr. Mu, do you still plan to be Anti-Japanese?
Is that all?
If Mr. Mu is willing to be Anti-Japanese, then I have more to discuss. If Mr. Mu prefers to be a passive observer, then I will say no more and take my leave.
There’s no need to provoke me with words. As a Chinese person facing national calamity, how could I possibly choose to be a passive observer? Naturally, I must be Anti-Japanese! However, my influence is limited; I have the will but lack the power.
Mr. Mu, let’s say there is a patriotic individual willing to support you with money, guns, and equipment; could you raise an Anti-Japanese force?
Mr. Ze, although I know you are testing me with words and that if I agree, I might soon meet my end by bullet or worse, I must say that if someone is truly willing to help, I will not back down! I will certainly lead my fellow countrymen into battle.
Regarding Mr. Mu Xiyi as an Anti-Japanese hero and general, Ze Anzhi did not know too much about him but remembered the bravery of the New Fourth Army and the conflicts with the Yunnan Ethnic Group. Now he intended to start from here and completely change the trajectory of war.
Good! Mr. Mu Xiansheng is noble! Fearless of life and death! Impressive! Now please accept this!
With that, Ze Anzhi lifted a suitcase and placed it in front of Mr. Mu Xiansheng. After opening it, he turned it around.
A whole box of Pounds! The largest denomination of Pounds! A full box!
This is Ten Thousand Pounds; this is the first installment. In the future, I will transfer money into this HSBC Bank account every month. Here are the account details and withdrawal tokens; just present these tokens along with what I've left at the bank for withdrawal.
The figure of ten thousand may seem trivial compared to those astronomical sums often mentioned on the internet today; some might think it worthless during the Republican Era. However, at this time, Ten Thousand Pounds is equivalent to ten thousand Dayang!
In online discussions glorifying the Republican Era's golden age, this amount often appears in various contexts and is frequently used as a substitute for someone else's identity—like Zhou Shuren—where a monthly manuscript fee could reach such levels that one could buy a house every month!
In 1948, Beiping City's Finance Bureau's Land Valuation Committee assessed that each courtyard house was valued at around ten Dayang per room.
Now, the box of money in front of Mu Xiyi was equivalent to the hard work of a great writer for an entire month!
This is! Mr. Ze! What are you doing?
As long as Mr. Mu remains true to his original intention and is willing to fight against the Japanese, then I will be the one to save the nation!
Alright, since Mr. Ze is so generous, I, Mu, will not act like a delicate lady! I will organize the Anti-Japanese Army and head north to fight against the Japanese!
No, no, no, Mr. Mu, fighting against the Japanese isn't that simple! We need to gather a team, conduct rigorous training, ensure that the soldiers are well-fed and in good health! Then we must equip them with the most advanced Wu Lan gear! Only then can our Anti-Japanese forces become a formidable army that makes the Oni tremble in fear!
