"Of course, Wu, you should not doubt that the current affairs news published in The Times are 100% accurate. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Herbert said with some schadenfreude: "Your Great Qing Dynasty is finished. Master Wu, your mission is over. ”

Seeing this news, Herbert was indeed secretly refreshed, twenty years ago he had been to Guangzhou City, and was snubbed by the local officials of the Qing Dynasty there, the original Qing officials were so arrogant, so that he remembered it deeply, and now twenty years have passed, I can't imagine that the huge Qing Kingdom will fall down, which makes him feel happy in his heart.

Looking at Wu Jianzhang, who was dazed, blank in his eyes, and at a loss, Herbert was relieved again.

In the past two months, the Crimean War alone has made his head bigger, and this Qing official from the Far East has from time to time blocked him, and has come to his home every now and then, saying that it is a visit, but in fact urging him to take him to meet the prime minister and even the queen, and to send troops to the Far East as soon as possible.

Now, this Wu Jianzhang will finally no longer urge himself to persuade the prime minister to send troops to help the Qing country! After all, even the capital of the Great Qing Kingdom has been occupied, and it should have been destroyed long ago, so what help is needed?

However, Herbert suddenly became interested in the rebels.

What kind of army is this, not only defeated the more than 1,000 British troops on Hong Kong Island led by that guy, but also defeated the British troops stationed in Shanghai, and now, it has defeated the Qing army with hundreds of thousands in one fell swoop. How many people are there in this rebel army, and how strong is it?

Wouldn't this mean that Great Britain could no longer send one or two thousand troops to garrison the Far East in the future? Unless Hong Kong Island is abandoned, thousands or even tens of thousands of regular troops must be stationed in the far east to ensure the interests of Great Britain in the Far East.

A new question arose before Herbert, who suddenly realized that it was necessary to send a large army to teach the rebels a hard lesson and subdue them, so as to obediently ensure the interests of Great Britain in the Far East. In any case, we can't let that ancient country have a strong country. This is not in line with Great Britain's global strategy.

Herbert quickly analyzed, and he decided to suggest to Prime Minister Palmerston that he send troops to the Far East in the name of helping the Qing Dynasty!

At this time, Wu Jianzhang had already lost his soul and took the newspaper and left quietly.

Wu Jianzhang walked on the road in a daze, didn't even pay attention to a carriage speeding by, only heard a bang, and was knocked to the ground by the carriage, Wu Jianzhang only heard someone scream in a thick Cantonese accent: "My lord, it's happened, I hit someone......" He passed out and didn't know anything.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a hotel by the river, looking out the window at the river view, Wu Jianzhang knew that he should be in a place by the Thames.

He opened his eyes vigorously, but found three Chinese with oriental faces, looking at him, the leader was a reader who was nearly forty years old, and when he looked closely, he did not leave braids, and was about to speak, but the man spoke: "Don't move, you were hit by a carriage and injured." By the way, you are the original Hi Daotai Wu Jianzhang Wu who came to Britain to ask for help? ”

"Yes, it's the official. Who are you? Wu Jianzhang asked.

"Haha, we are the opponents you want to find foreigners to deal with!" The leader smiled and said: "Lord Wu, I really don't meet in life, I can't imagine that we are both Han Chinese, and we are both from the far east, it is really rare to meet in this foreign country." ”

"What do you want to do?" Wu Jianzhang was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that he had just learned the news that the Qing Dynasty was overthrown by the rebels and even the emperor had died, so he ran into the other party, which was really bad for eight lifetimes. He never dreamed that the rebels would dare to send people to Britain and knock themselves down.

Those damn Brits, why don't you arrest them all!?

"Haha, Lord Wu, don't be nervous, contemptible people are holy countries...... Oh, wrong, now it has been renamed the Chinese Empire, and thanks to the newspaper in the hands of Lord Wu, I learned that the Holy Kingdom had actually occupied the city of Beijing in the Manchu Dynasty, and the Holy King was officially proclaimed emperor and established the Chinese Empire! Well, the contemptible person is the ambassador of the empire to Europe, named Guo Songtao, who is fully responsible for the affairs of the Holy Kingdom to the Western countries. I don't know in what capacity Lord Wu came to London? ”

"Guo Songtao? Ambassadors to Europe? Yes, what is your identity in London? Wu Jianzhang was asked, what else could he say, could it be that he was the envoy of the Qing Emperor? But the emperor never officially appointed himself, just let Su Shun pass on the secret order orally, and even if the emperor had issued an edict at the beginning, what could he do? Now even the Qing Dynasty is gone, and the emperor has died. The whole world has been replaced by Cantonese thieves.

Suddenly, Wu Jianzhang suddenly remembered his family, especially his son Wu Xiaoping and his baby grandson Wu Chaoyue were still detained in Beijing, and he didn't know what happened? For a moment, my heart was in turmoil.

Guo Songtao found that Wu Jianzhang's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but add fire and said: "Lord Wu, you are from Guangdong, and you were originally a merchant of the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou, and you are a fellow countryman of the emperor, so why bother to work for the Manchu Dynasty?" Now you must also know that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is finished, and this world of China is already the world of my Chinese Empire, I don't know what you plan? If there is any difficulty, the contemptible person can help solve it. ”

This is already a naked surrender.

Wu Jianzhang's heart moved! I originally worked for the Manchu Qing court, didn't I just want to have a future, a cute shade for my children and grandchildren, and a good background! Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to perish, it is difficult for him to be martyred.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head, his face changed, and when he raised his head again, he was already full of tears: "Lord Guo, Wu is guilty!" Wu is willing to return to your country, and only asks Lord Guo for one thing, so that he can help Wu find his family in Beijing and send him back to his hometown in Xiangshan, Guangdong, safely. ”

Wu Jianzhang didn't talk nonsense, he directly pretended to be pitiful and talked about the conditions.

Guo Songtao said: "That's no problem. As long as your family is still in Beijing and has not been taken away by the Manchus, the empire can find them. In this way, Lord Wu ......"

"Wu meets Master Guo! Wu is willing to return to the empire and serve His Majesty!" Wu Jianzhang struggled to get up from the bed and knelt on the ground. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Wu Jianzhang is in his sixties, and he can be described as a human spirit, so he naturally knows how to choose. However, he didn't know why this surnamed Guo wanted to surrender himself, change to himself, and kill people directly without knowing it, not very simply.

He didn't know that Guo Songtao was conceiving a conspiracy, and he had become the main link.
