435 Reversal of events
What is a nation? What is a country? These are terms that have been shouted by countless people, but there are really not many people who can truly experience the warmth of these two words.
It is an eternal truth that adversity sees true feelings, and only when a country and a nation are truly facing the pressure of the enemy and facing a common calamity, can they feel the warmth of these two words.
We are of the same culture, we have the same values and interests, although we quarrel and fight on weekdays, but when the alien race comes to invade, it is these people who lean on our shoulders.
Is there still such a soldier and army in the world? In China's thousands of years of history, it seems that only the Yuejia army froze to death and did not demolish houses and starve to death and did not steal food.
Let the people eat grain, eat weeds and gnaw tree bark, who will believe this kind of thing?
Chang Sanhao subconsciously doesn't believe in "deceiving people, they are deceiving people...... Be careful Xiao Lotian Autumn Queen-Excellent-Excellent-Small-Say-More-New-Most-Fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-Settle the Score... These fools ......"
The despicable will never be able to appreciate the soul of the noble, and the rats in the sewers will not see the beauty of the flying eagle. What made Chang Sanhao even more speechless was that all the people on the long street actually believed the old shopkeeper's 'lie' at that moment.
With a bang, no one could stand on the long street, and everyone knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "We were wrong...... We were really wrong, we are not human...... Woowoo woo ......"
"No one in the world has ever really regarded us ordinary people as human beings, only the Prime Minister, and only the New Army......
The crowd choked up and couldn't say anything, just knelt on the ground and kept choking, in that era of simple people, you have a good point to the people, and they will definitely repay it very much.
"Don't be embarrassed here, you ruined the military rations, I will make up for it...... My family would rather eat wild vegetables for the rest of their lives, and we have to protect our new army, without which we will be slaves to mermaids in the future......"
The mood at the scene suddenly changed, everyone suddenly changed from grabbing rice to donating military rations, and now even the rice boss looked stupid, he hurriedly shouted, "There is still rice, I still have food stored outside the city...... As long as we get through the difficulties together, the difficulties will definitely be overcome......"
"My fat man swears here, if I dare to raise the price and make a fortune, let me give birth to a son..."
But I never expected that the stubbornness of the people would come up all of a sudden, and they only had one sentence in their mouths: "If you do something wrong, you have to change, and if you waste something, you have to pay for it...... People are watching the sky, and they can't add mistakes to mistakes..."
This scene was so touching that the old shopkeeper and the cavalry couldn't help but cry, and they all recalled what Xiao Lotian said when he was in a small class before.
"The people are not hard-hearted, they are not greedy for small profits and forget the righteousness, the key is whether we can do it ourselves... The eyes of the people are bright, and whoever is really good to him can tell at a glance......"
"As long as you can really move them, as long as you can touch the softest place in their hearts, the kind people will give you rewards that you can't imagine......"
Today, the living reality is in front of the soldiers, they watched the crowd like ants moving and sending back the little rations they had hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and the guys in the rice shop blocked the door, but they couldn't withstand these people at all.
Boss Mi has cried into tears, and his mouth keeps nagging, "Oh mom... Oops, my mother... I don't want to make money, but I can't do it? I can't admit that I can't lose money? I can't give you rice for nothing?"
"Lao Tzu, if I become a profiteer again in this life, I will cut off my children and grandchildren......"
A rice riot was actually quelled by such bizarre means, which was enough to make the shopkeeper Fan go down in history, but the credit belongs to Xiao Letian, and now the only name in everyone's hearts is their prime minister.
The Ryukyus are very fortunate to have this new army... The people of Ryukyu are even more fortunate to have this... East Asia is even more fortunate to have Xiao Lotian...
Sun Ximei and they have long fled in the wilderness, and the shock they gave them today will never be forgotten in their lives, they disguised themselves as ordinary people and walked through the streets, fleeing towards their hiding places in the mountains.
"Little sister, you can give me an idea, I'm very confused, I can't understand this matter at all today......" Chang Sanhao sat on a stone and blew the sea breeze, and said with palpitations.
"What's your idea? If you want me to say it, run away, our small boat hidden in the cave should also be used, as long as we break out of the encirclement of the French, and meet a merchant ship on the sea, we can go home......" The stubborn donkey had already retreated in his heart.
This group of Manchu Qing meticulous works is nominally headed by Chang Sanhao, but in fact, people are willing to listen to Sun Ximei's words, this clever woman, staring at Shuri Castle with flickering eyes, sighed.
"Let's go, can we go? If we hadn't connected with that mysterious man before, we wouldn't have left...... Now that a new mission has been issued, I'm afraid I'll have to be arrested when I get home......"
At the mention of that mysterious person, all the people present did not dare to speak, and this group of people had already completed the task by transmitting the news of the French war back to the mainland, but just when they wanted to secretly leave the Ryukyus, a secret line that they had never seen before found them.
Sun Ximei and the others never thought that one person could come up with two secret orders, one was a requisition order covering the military aircraft department, and the other was actually an identity certificate issued by the British Embassy, and the girl was actually a double spy.
An order from the Military Aircraft Department is enough to order Chang Sanhao and their group, and the identification of the British Embassy only emphasizes the importance of this mission, and the subtext is that everyone wants to steal and play tricks, and the origin behind Lao Tzu is terrifying.
The mysterious man is just a messenger, and they don't know where the real big man is hiding Sun Ximei, but one thing is certain, if you don't want to escape, you can't.
The rice riot has completely failed, and no one here can think of a better way to provoke civil strife, but they don't dare to run if they want to, Sun Ximei gritted her teeth and finally stomped her feet and said fiercely, "Go, hide in the mountains first, this mission has failed, they will definitely contact us again...... Damn, I've been moldy for eight lifetimes, and I've met this group of perverts......"
The Manchu craftsmen disappeared into the mountains, and the mysterious people they spoke of were now not on the island of Ryukyu, but in the sea.
In the dark waves, a thin figure was struggling to swim forward, and three hundred meters in front of him was the French battleship Glory, and at this time, a slender clipper ship was docked on the west side of the battleship, and the target of this figure was there.
"There are people in the sea...... Is it a Ryukyu water ghost?" When the figure approached fifty meters from the battleship, the sharp-eyed sailor suddenly noticed something strange in the sea, followed by the rattle of bullets on a rifle.
The French are now on high alert against the Ryukyu water ghosts, for fear that one of them will accidentally let this group of barbarians succeed in a sneak attack, although they have not yet figured out the principle of the earthen mines, but the seeds of fear have been planted.
“no…… no…… Don't shoot, I'm my own person...... I was employed by the British...... "The soldiers never expected that there would be a burst of English with a strange accent coming from the sea.
"What evidence is there?" shouted the Frenchman on deck.
"I'm going to the Tulip...... My boss was on the boat...... He is from the Qing Dynasty, and his name is Gong Cheng...... Master Gong is my boss......"
As soon as the name was spoken, all the officials on the deck understood that if they were not their own people, they would never know who the guests on the mysterious merchant ship were.
Yes, he is a very famous traitor in Wanqing, who led LinkedIn to the French coalition to burn down the Old Summer Palace, Gong Banlun.
The drenched fine work climbed aboard the merchant ship Tulip, and on the deck Gong Cheng was drinking with the French envoy Molière and General Bruce. The wine is as red as blood, and the appetizer is Naha Harbour in the distance.
He knelt on the deck with a puff, "Lord Qiyu, the rice riot failed, and I never thought that Xiao Letian's soldiers not only did not suppress it, but opened a warehouse to release grain...... None of the follow-up plans were able to be carried out, but we weren't exposed, and we still had a chance to ......."
Gong Cheng looked at him with a smile, "Well, it doesn't matter, I didn't expect you to succeed, then Xiao Lotian can rise in East Asia, it is not ordinary, if this little temptation can't survive, then this game is really meaningless, hahaha......"
Gong Cheng is a thin old man in his fifties, wearing a black satin robe, a big hookah in his hand, and his braids are sparsely dragged behind his head.
But those who know him have heard of his nickname Gong Banlun, which means that he has no way of monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, brothers, and friends in his heart, and only loves a concubine.
This nickname was not given to him by others, but by himself, which shows that this person's shameless realm has reached a certain level.
After sending away his subordinates, Gong Cheng's eyes fell on the envoy Molière again, and he opened his mouth to be proficient in English, which also mixed a lot of French, it seems that this guy can be a traitor or really have the conditions.
"Your Excellency, according to your previous agreement, this is a shipload of shells and ammunition provided by the British, and I have added some food and wine to you at my own initiative, and the temporary supply is enough...... But I would like to warn you, that according to your way of playing, I am afraid that this shipload of munitions will be enough for you to ...... for a week."
Gong Banlun took a long sip of the wine glass and said with a sneer: "Your Excellency, how much money do you have on you? How many boats are enough? I'm afraid that if the Ryukyus are not defeated in the end, you will run out of ammunition and food......
The corners of Molière's eyes twitched, "I believe in the fighting power of our French soldiers, and I believe that victory is ours after all......"
"Hahaha...... Combat effectiveness? I'll tell you the truth, I let my subordinates carry out this rice riot, the purpose of which is to test the fighting spirit of the Ryukyu army and civilians...... Now it seems that it is not weaker than you French......"
"To put it mildly, if you continue to fight like this, you won't be able to attack it for another three months..."
"Finally, I would like to remind you that the lives of French soldiers are too valuable, and if there are many people killed in battle, let your domestic newspapers publicize it again, I am afraid that the wave of protests will make your Emperor Xià unable to sleep..."
