472 Mutiny at the parade
"Oh, can France sell us battleships, is it that your ironclad ships have made progress?" King Shang Tai is really a child, he actually put the prophecy in Xiao Letian's mouth in the clear place.
The corners of Molière's eyes twitched, and his heart suddenly waved: "Oh God, how can these Asian monkeys know about the scientific and technological progress in Europe?
"This Xiao Letian is really a monster, this kind of words can only come out of Xiao Letian's mouth, this man is the biggest threat to European civilization, he can't stay, this devil must not stay......"
Thinking of this, Molière smiled faintly, and said to King Chanté very politely, "Your Majesty is wise, it is true that as you said, France's ironclad research is indeed at the forefront of the world, and in 1849, we in France have built the steam-powered ironclad ship Napoleon, and it shined in the Crimean War......"
"Oh, then why are all the sail warships sent to attack the Ryukyus this time?, is there a problem with the construction of the French ironclads?" asked King Chantai casually, his eyes still moving with the red crowd.
Molière secretly cursed in his heart, it wasn't that those bastards in Paris were stuck in the funds of the navy, and they were afraid that the expansion of the navy would cause hostility with the British, otherwise how could the entire Indian colony not even have a steam ironclad?
If I had more powerful ironclad warships, I would have been able to shoot at close range against the threat of shore defense batteries, and then our landing force would have more powerful and accurate fire support, so why should we engage in such painstaking intrigues.
However, he scolded in his heart, now is the most critical moment of the whole scam, and at this time the chain must not be broken, Molière smiled and said, "Your Majesty, of course, the most powerful weapons must be arranged where they are most needed, and now France's national interests are in Europe, in North America, in India, and not in Asia......"
"It is precisely because Asia is on the periphery of France's national interests that we do not have to send the most powerful fleet, and it is precisely because of this that we have a strong desire to sign a peace agreement, this war is only a war of punishment, if it were not for Xiao Lotian insulting the dignity of the French Emperor, then this war would not have happened at all..."
"Sincerity, this is the sincerity of our France, and now you still doubt us?"
Molière's subtle acting skills successfully swept away the last doubt in King Chanté's mind, and by this time the French Red Coats were getting closer and closer, and General Bruce was only fifty meters away from King Chanté.
Gong Cheng was also nervous now, his palms were full of sweat, his eyes were turning left and right, the five battleships on the farthest sea were now seeing that the gun doors were closed, but he knew that the guns on the shooting deck had already been loaded with ammunition, and the most experienced shooters were already in place.
Look at the three red phalanxes rolling forward in front of you, three hundred veterans who have participated in desert and jungle battles are ready for fighting, although there is no ammunition, but killing people does not have to rely on bullets, bayonets can do the same.
More than 100 samurai of the Shimazu family around the viewing platform were nominally here to protect the Ryukyu monarchs, but no one knew that Gong Cheng had already spent a lot of money to oppose Shimazu Dairo, and even if he did not oppose Shimazu Dairo, he had to consider the interests of the Satsuma Domain.
The three nooses were already on King Shangtai's neck, and this was not enough, Gong Cheng had another noose in his hand, that is, the integrated Manchu secret talk.
Among the people who watched the ceremony, Sun Ximei, Chang Sanhao, and stubborn donkeys...... And so on, now disguised as ordinary Ryukyu people, are crowded in the crowd waiting for an opportunity, although I don't know what role they can play, but walking around the rumors, killing people and setting fires, etc., is still inseparable from them.
The four nooses have now begun to tighten the rope buckles, all the escape opportunities of King Sangtai have been blocked, and Gong Cheng has used his superb acting skills to give the Ryukyu monarch an illusory sense of security, and now this scam has finally reached the end stage.
Major General Bruce was only more than forty meters away from King Shangtai, and the atmosphere at the scene was becoming more and more tense at this time, Gong Cheng looked at the young king coldly, and found that King Shangtai's expression stiffened unnaturally.
"Shopkeeper Fan... You haven't answered my question positively just now, if this contract is really signed, will you give or not give me the 30% of the money I want? In front of Your Majesty, you'd better give me a truthful ......"
Yin damage, it is really yin damage, Gong Cheng knows that when people use consciousness to judge dangerous situations, this consciousness is often the most accurate, and now that King Shangtai smells danger, then this consciousness must be interrupted.
Sure enough, when Gong Cheng's bargaining voice reached the ears of King Shangtai, the young Wang was suddenly interrupted, and that keen consciousness suddenly dissipated.
It's too late, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the Da Luo Immortals to turn the situation around, and Major General Bruce has already led the team to the edge of the viewing platform.
"Long live the Emperor of France...", Bruce shouted, and three hundred soldiers held it up in front of their chests, shouting in unison, "Hurray... Banzai... Hooray......"
Molière also stood up from his chair and shouted with feverish eyes: "Long live the Emperor of France... Banzai... Hooray..."
Long live is the sound of the command to act, when the third long live sounded, the gaiwan tea bar in Gong Cheng's hand fell to the ground with a click, and the old man's hands trembled like chicken feet.
Major General Bruce under the viewing platform suddenly pulled out a knife flower with a command knife in his hand, and the long knife pointed directly at the king of Shangtai on the viewing platform, "The warriors of France... Charge ......"
At the sound of an order, the 100 red-clothed soldiers who took the lead suddenly burst into a roar of "kill ......" and shook the earth, and the soldiers rushed up to the viewing platform in a frenzy.
"The first phalanx captured King Shangtai alive...... The second phalanx blocked the Imperial Guards...... The third party array seized the dock......" General Bruce yelled and rushed to the viewing platform with the crowd.
"Escort... Escort ......" Cai Mao raised his leg and kicked at Molière, but he didn't expect Molière to be so agile that he easily dodged it, he jumped to the cameraman's side, and looked at the Ryukyu monarch with a sneer, like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Damn Frenchman, damn Gong Cheng... You don't have to be ashamed ......" Cai Mao stood in front of King Shangtai like a tiger, holding the revolver tightly in his hand, and raising his hand to snap it was three shots.
The three red-clothed French soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground as if they had been electrocuted, but the French troops who rushed up were too many and the speed was too fast, and they saw a flash of bayonets, and the French bayonets on the flanks pierced General Cai Mao's wrists, and the pistol fell to the ground with a click.
This mutiny happened so quickly that no one on the entire viewing platform except for Molière and Gong Cheng, who knew the details in advance, expected that the French would be so shameless, and their brains were stagnant for a while.
Jin Changsen and Lin Yuanmiao trembled their lips and couldn't say a word, their hands trembling like chaff. At this time, it was the old shopkeeper Fan who reacted quickly after a long time, he grabbed Gong Cheng's shoulder, and actually took out a pistol from his arms and put it on his head.
"Gong Banlun... You old bastard...... You still betrayed the Ryukyu Kingdom ......" After saying that, the angry old shopkeeper was about to pull the trigger, but at this time, a figure suddenly rushed over from the oblique stab and kicked Fan Yao in the ribs.
There was a snap, and the gun went off. But the bullet grazed Gong Cheng's ears and flew into the sky hotly, and Gong Cheng was rescued by Shimazu Dairo who rushed over.
"I cāo... Feed the white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it...... The Prime Minister forgave you Japanese, and now you dare to betray..."Cai Mao covered his bloody wrists, he was scolding angrily, he was protecting King Shangtai with his body.
Shimazu Dairo's face was obscured by the devil's face pocket, and no one knew his expression, but the traitor finally bowed to King Shangtai and said, "Your Majesty...... The French are going to be caught alive, so please don't resist..."
Gong Cheng hid beside Shimazu Dairo, and at this time, several Japanese samurai and his hardcore water dogs came to protect him. The old man frantically shouted, "Hahaha...... Now you know who I Gong Cheng is, right? If you want to calculate with me, you are still very ......."
"Lao Tzu just loves to buy the country, Lao Tzu sold the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then sold you Ryukyu...... What can you do? What can you do to me? The strong in this world are respected, and the Westerners are the bosses...... Are you convinced? If you don't accept it, you will bite me......"
"Aha...... Envoy, I have delivered King Shangtai to you as promised, and the rest of the drama will depend on you..."
Bruce, who rushed to the stage, nodded to Gong Cheng, "You are very good, no wonder the British will give you a high salary...... Rest assured, France's promise will be fulfilled...... Now, all the French warriors, take these rebels alive, this is our hostage..."
The French tore apart a qiē disguise, and now everyone understands that the ploy used by the French is exactly the same as that used by the Spaniards to exterminate the ancient Inca kingdom, that is, by deception and kidnapping.
"Liar, Gong Cheng, you are a liar... Didn't you say that you only needed money? Didn't you say that you just wanted to deal with Xiao Letian? What about your promise? You liar......" Jin Changsen woke up like a dream and pounced like a mad tiger, but at this time, Gong Cheng couldn't get close.
The water dog raised his leg as a kick in his chest, and where did the old man Jin rush from, he was kicked back. Jin Changsen knelt on the ground and spit out the sour water in his appetite.
"You...... You lied to me... Didn't you say that...... Didn't you say that you only want money? I hate it, I am so ruthless, why do I believe you ......?"
Gong Cheng took out a fan from his cuff and shook it arrogantly, "My lords, what Jin Changsen said is not wrong, we have actually been in touch for a long time, but Jin Changsen is too stupid, in order to snatch that power from Xiao Letian, he does not hesitate to form an alliance with me, an old liar......"
"Hahaha, Jin Changsen, did you say that you lied to me? I said that I would praise you as the prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom afterwards, but you didn't look at yourself in the mirror? Is there that artemisia grass on your ancestral grave? You are also worthy of ......?"
Gong Cheng arched his hand, "Thank you, thank you for helping Lao Tzu, and thank you for revealing so many Ryukyu details to me, you are my great hero......"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuanmiao rushed up like crazy, grabbed Jin Changsen's neckline and opened the bow left and right, and he was crying while fighting.
"Shameless pig dog...... Are you a brute...... Back then, you took refuge in the Japanese, and now you refuge in the old traitors, do you still want to take refuge in the French?"
"Why didn't the prime minister kill you back then... Why don't you go to the ...... of death" snapped, the slap was extremely loud, and Jin Changsen was so ashamed that he didn't even dare to parry.
