Xianfeng was a little restless today.

Although he had reluctantly agreed to the most poisonous trick to date at first, he still couldn't bear to hear that millions of people had been affected by the flood.

The catastrophe will be followed by a pandemic, which is another concern.

Therefore, when the courtiers discussed disaster relief, Xianfeng agreed to Du Shoutian's volunteerism and sent him over to organize disaster prevention and epidemic prevention.

However, today he got the news that Du Shoutian was sick and very sick.

This made his already heavy mood drop a lot!

Du Shoutian, as the teacher of Emperor Xianfeng, always supported Xianfeng in the cruel imperial struggle to support the emperor, and finally became the emperor.

Then he introduced Zeng Guofan and others to the top of the power tower and stabilized the throne.

All these experiences, Xianfeng and this Du Di Master share weal and woe, so he and Du Shoutian established a special relationship, but also maintained a very special relationship.

Of course, the United States is not thinking about China, but for their own interests, and if this cheapness gives them the first place, they will definitely not put forward the idea of "equalization of interests."

Sadly, France would not spit out the benefits of what they had eaten, and the cowardly Manchus were incapable of amending the humiliating treaty, so the United States soon followed in France's footsteps and demanded and received their own exclusive lease.

However, the former leased land in Shanghai still maintained its original form, called a public lease, which was in essence jointly controlled by the United Kingdom and the United States.

These two leased lands stood side by side until their end of mission, which lasted for 100 years.

The weakness and incompetence of the local officials of the Manchu Qing dynasty, the strong support of the official representatives of the country, contributed to the success of Remy, therefore. French merchants, proprietors, and adventurers followed the example of Remy and flocked to the French Concession in Shanghai.

In a short period of time, more than 100,000 people gathered here!

Of course, not all of them are French, but there are also natives who do all kinds of miscellaneous work, or people who have fled from other places. There are even various practitioners from other countries.

Because the French officials here are very good at fighting for the interests of his inhabitants, they prefer to be attached to them.

Due to the swelling population, the original leased land quickly became crowded, which also gave these greedy guys a good excuse to ask for more land!

So, Mintini invoked Lin Gui's proclamation and put forward a request to increase the land tenfold!

Originally, he always had the idea of asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the spot, and began to open his mouth. After bargaining, I was satisfied with the final increase of one or two times.

Even if he didn't get his wish, he took the first step, and after a year and a half, he will definitely achieve results.

Where to think, he did not know enough about the fear and corruption of this Manchu official!

Remy also did as the locals did, tacitly cooperating with the action, and that night he sent Lin Gui a silver ticket of 10,000 francs, and promised to increase the loan tenfold if he lived. The silver ticket has also increased tenfold!

And not just once, but every year!

Outcome. This tenfold lease was approved in a week!

At this time, the entire leased land had covered an area of more than 10,000 acres.

It has become a country within a country with a radius of seven or eight kilometers.

This made Mintini and Remy sigh greatly, it is indeed the most attractive adventure capital!

Sure enough, success or not, success is proportional to the size of guts!

So, the two of them combined government and business. Be bold and enterprising, connect the old and new leased land, and operate it as a country within a country!

Needless to say, the utilities are designed and built in the same way as the big cities in their own country, and even more so, they have built their own security systems, civil management systems, and even judicial systems!

There is this judicial system. It really provides a refuge for those who are traitors!

As a result, the leased land has also become a place of filth and filth.

These criminals are sheltered, and they are even more lawless, even more oppressive of the good, and do all kinds of evil.

As a result, the tensions among the indigenous peoples, already caused by the forced land lease, have been further exacerbated, and the conflict has continued.

And all these conflicts, due to the government's bullying and fear of the hard, and the distorted protection of these colonialists, have become the accumulation of anger against the French, and they will erupt vigorously when the medium of ignition is ready.

It was also at this time that Lin Gui, a typical capitulation faction, was seized by the Manchu officials of the main battle faction, that is, he took matters into his own hands, gave the French unlimited increase in leased land, and launched a fierce attack on him.

As a result, the emperor, who had just ascended the throne, couldn't resist, so he had to remove him from his post and transfer back the original Shanghai Daotai is Wu Jianzhang, who was a well-known main battle faction.

However, before he could do anything, the Knife Society uprising broke out.

Seeing the escalating conflict and the unstable policies of the Manchu government, Minseni and Remy realized that a crisis could occur at any time and asked their own decision-makers to send warships to protect them.

The medium-sized fleet that was destroyed by Mai Ke just now was sent to protect them at the request of the two.

In fact, they have only been here for less than a month, just in time for this knife meeting.

Of course, they knew very well that the first target of these rebels was the Manchus, and secondly, they were outsiders, so they and the Manchu authorities were already both prosperous and disadvantaged.

So, the commander of the fleet, Gao Erxiong, didn't say a word, seized the opportunity, and gave the Knife Society a fellow.

If it weren't for Mai Ke's rescue, the main leaders such as Liu Lichuan, Zhou Lichun, and Zhou Xiuying, as well as the main force of the rebel army led by them, would have been slaughtered by these warships!

When these warships came to China, they also brought 1,000 elite infantry, who could serve as marines in the navy and also on land combat missions such as siege and fortification.

These people have now become the garrison of the leased land.

These regular soldiers, plus about 2,000 patrol officers of the leased land, the total strength of the leased land reached 3,000!

And that's not even counting the amateur fighters, it's the ruffians and hooligans.

Although they are not a big fight, when the wind is smooth, their combat effectiveness cannot be taken lightly!

Just now, these people participated in the attack on the Little Knife Society, and it was not until Mizuhara Su showed his magic powers, destroyed the French fleet in one fell swoop, and caught fire at the leased site, that they fled back to the leased place.

What they don't know is that it's no longer a safe haven and that they can no longer be sheltered.

Since this concession is angry and resentful, it is necessary to see the opportunity to destroy it.

And this knife will revolt, providing just such an opportunity.

Therefore, in addition to overthrowing the rule of the Manchus, the eradication of these leased land authorities, which were extremely popular with anger, was also a serious goal.

Therefore, after Mai Ke sent a few fires to the French Concession, he left them alone and let the fires burn for a while longer. Mai Ke thought in his heart that if they let these unrighteous people taste the taste of being burned by fire, they might be able to open their minds, repent and avoid the punishment of eternal fire.

It was not until the rebels occupied the whole city of Shanghai and dealt with the warships that left the water that they turned back to deal with the French in the concession.

Looking at the leased land, the original fires that started are still burning there, but the area affected is seven or eight times larger!

In particular, the leased office building, the high-end western-style building area where the French live, and the best hotel for the evacuees, the fire is still raging!

The people who were burned screamed and the sound was loud.

After looking at it for a while, everyone thought it was a little weird!

The fire had been burning for half an hour, but the buildings were still standing, and none of them had collapsed!

The flames are still burning in the sky, and it seems that those flammable materials are constantly supporting the fire!

Even those who were burned by the fire and screamed miserably, and they were still those people, who seemed to be particularly tenacious, and their cries were still strong.

Yang Xiuqing and Mai Ke made a little communication, reported that the fire element was weird, and decided to take the opportunity to occupy the French Concession!

Yang Xiuqing and Liu Lichuan whispered a few words, and then, the west gate and the north gate were opened at the same time, and two thousand volunteers rushed to the French Concession in the north of the city, and four thousand volunteers rushed to the new area of the French Concession in the west of the city.

Wang Shixun, who hated these French people very much, naturally became the leader of the party and charged all the way!

When they reached the place where the fire was burning, the people saw a clearer picture.

It turns out that these fires of fire elements are all spontaneous combustion!

In other words, its fire and continuous burning do not depend on other conditions!

In other words, it doesn't matter if there is flammable material or not, it doesn't matter if there is air or not, it has all the conditions for combustion!

And these conditions are unlimited, that is, there are no restrictions on when and when to burn, and it is entirely determined by the will of the person who started the arson!

However, the effect of this original fire not only retains the role played by all other flames, but is also more powerful and obvious!

In other words, the burning sensation of the burned person will be several times that of ordinary natural fire!

Mai Ke has been paying close attention to the operation of the fire element, and naturally he also learned about the relevant situation as Yang Xiuqing and others walked into the fire source.

He suddenly remembered Mu Yuansu's scene, and immediately gave instructions to Yang Xiuqing, so that these six thousand righteous troops gradually approached the burning flames!

He expected in his heart that since those who have a high degree of adaptability to xylenin can be professionals who manage and use xylenin, then the same is true for ignemine!

He's going to find people who can adapt and form the Fire Primordial Camp!

The initial establishment is also 3,000 people!

As a result, this method really worked, and in a short time, 3,000 people were found, and the adaptability reached more than 80%!

According to Lingxi's movement, the fitness and names of these people were all sent to Mai Ke.

Mai Ke took a cursory glance and found that the tallest one of them reached eighty-two degrees, and his name was also very interesting.

Flame Flame!.
