Volume VIII 1396 Visitors to Wusongkou

Next chapter

The open and secret struggle between the brothers and sisters continued, but they were all deeply hidden, and only themselves and a limited number of people who knew the inside could smell the smell of gunpowder in it.

Especially Cai Bixuan, she stood on the deck and squinted her eyes and glanced at the command cabin fiercely, and Xiang Ying's bad thing just stared at her with squinting eyes, making him make several mistakes in the first aid training.

Although these two people have rolled over the sheets as early as Prussia, after all, they are children who grew up in East Asia, a place of traditional etiquette, and they still have to pretend on the surface, and the old husband and wife can't be so funny in public!

But with a slight sweep of his eyes, Cai Bixuan saw Zai Chun's breathless appearance, and it seemed that he had suffered a loss from Xiang Ying again. Cai Bi's love is very complicated, she really treats Zai Chun as a little brother, she doesn't want her future husband to have a conflict with Jae Chun, but she knows that the whirlpool of politics is not something that she can control as a woman.

Sometimes many things are fate, or they are the enemies of the previous life.

Zaichun angrily pushed open the hatch and shouted, "I heard it clearly, from now on I am the health supervisor of the Zhiyuan! If anyone's clothes are not clean, the cabin is not clean, see how I clean you!"

Xiang Ying was also stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that this little emperor can really bend and stretch! His joke was taken seriously, and it was not bad, so let him do it.

The work efficiency of people with affection is definitely high, Zaichun took the chicken feathers as an arrow to jump the chickens and dogs that the entire Zhiyuan packed up, and even the hygiene problems of Wang Huaiyuan and the version of Longma were also managed, which made everyone cry and laugh.

However, the results were obvious, the deck was wiped spotlessly, the paint on the gun base looked shiny, the rust on the rivets was also cleaned up in time, and the Zhiyuan used up eighty percent of its paint reserves in one day.

The sailors put on brand-new uniforms, the artillery jackets were also taken off, the huge barrels looked around proudly, the brand-new colored flags on the masts were stretched out into long ribbons, and the whining whistle resounded throughout the mouth of the Huangpu River.

Shanghai, the land of Oriental dreams, a paradise for Western adventurers, has quickly become the most prosperous city in Asia since the opening of its port, and it definitely deserves to be the first place.

At this time, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and the Lion City were not at all in the climate, and only Shanghai relied on the best port location and the Yangtze River Economic Circle behind it to create the most famous commercial capital in East Asia.

The Huangpu River, the last tributary of the Yangtze River, flows into the Yangtze River at Wusongkou and flows into the East China Sea.

4000

?? After the Qing Dynasty, it was called the old city. As for Pudong, it is still completely wasteland, and then farmland and freight yards.

This is one of the most important European concessions in East Asia, Britain and France invested heavily in defense here, when there was a long hair, Britain alone stationed 40,000 troops here, let alone France.

It has now entered a time of peace, but the total number of British and French troops in the concession is more than 20,000, not counting the permanent navy on the sea.

Such a heavily guarded place must have been an important town for wealth gathering, and the endless stretch of the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River was not a ship at all, but gold and silver.

All the precious goods in the south of the Yangtze River are pouring here, and then get on the ship here and go straight to the sea to all over the world, the world's foreign trade businessmen gather here, as long as you have a relationship to get a boat of tea from here, send it to Europe is more than three times the profit.

In such a prosperous place, you can imagine the busy scene of ships on the river day and night, and goods extending in all directions, and those foreign devils who are resident in Shanghai have long been accustomed to watching the boat river during the day and the beautiful scenery of the Deng River at night, and in their hearts this Huangpu River has no time to rest.

But today, a shocking scene appeared to everyone, standing on the west bank of the Huangpu River to enjoy the scenery, the foreign ladies were bored with parasols, suddenly the Huangpu River seemed to blow a terrifying whirlwind, all the boats began to speed up strangely.

The big ships and small boats fled desperately to the south and both shores, and the boat boss and the sailors shook their oars like crazy, as if some deep-sea monster was chasing after them.

"What's going on? Why did these merchant ships give up the middle of the channel...... Hey, that Qing slave, what are you hiding?" shouted the arrogant nose on the shore in a tone of utter contempt.

But no one on the river was willing to deal with him, no one had time to answer his question, everyone just desperately put the boat to the shore, and even if there was a scraping incident between the boats, they had to lean to the side.

At this moment, the figures of several huge sea ships flashed in the direction of Wusongkou, and the foreigners smiled at a glance: "Look, that is our British Goddess of Victory! The most powerful warship stationed in Shanghai ......"

"That's our Lord of France! It's covered with iron armor and rapid-fire artillery! Hooray......"

The cowhide had just blown a start, and before the ladies and ladies could cheer, their throats were like a pinched, and suddenly they were dumb.

Because at the end of their sight, a higher, larger, and more powerful strange warship has revealed its honor, and the original Goddess of Victory and the Lord are nothing more than the guide ships of this battleship, and their original majesty is now crushed and has no chance to turn the tables.

"Oh God! What is that? What kind of battleship is that...... Could it be that we have new reinforcements from Europe?"

At the same time, the gong mountain sounded on the street, and all the officials of the Shanghai county government were dispatched, and countless gangs followed closely behind, and they actually beat the gong and ran wildly in the concession.

"The Zhiyuan is here! Prime Minister Xiao Cheng of the East China Sea personally led the ship to patrol the south of the Yangtze River! The Ryukyu won a great victory, and the Ryukyu Chinese won a great victory! The Rakshasa ghost was completely annihilated, and there was not a single one left!"

Bang bang, the proud gong shook all the foreigners, and inspired countless Qing people to shout long live.

"Long live the prime minister!

The incomparably domineering Zhiyuan slowly turned the muzzle of the main gun, the muzzle of the gun always shook in the direction of the concession intentionally or unintentionally, and the deck was stained with proud sailors with their hands behind their backs, pure white and sky blue naval uniforms, which were beautiful and eye-catching.

No braids, no short stature, no cowering look, and no servile temperament, the fierce temperament of the Oriental soldiers is very close to the legendary elves in Europe.

The not burly body contains infinite killing intent, and the slender and toned body is not comparable to the gorilla body in Europe.

As soon as the heroic and handsome sailors appeared, they were immediately exchanged for the exclamations of countless Western ** on the shore, and some people were even about to suffocate to death while holding their chests.

But all European men have a completely different feeling, this battleship made of pure steel is actually the legendary Zhiyuan, God forbid, how can the Chinese have such a powerful warship, this is unreasonable!
