Tasting the pure black tea and looking at Philip's black face to the bottom of the pot, Zuo Peng's heart was extremely refreshed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn modern times, these British people are very proud. It's a pleasure to see them eat and deflated now.

With a bang, he casually slammed the teacup on the table, and said in a casual tone: "Mr. Philip, this is a declaration of war, but you have to put it away!"

As he spoke, he slapped it on the table, ignoring Philip's surprised eyes, and walked away. The others followed in his footsteps and walked away.

Looking at the backs of the representatives of the Ming Dynasty, Philip trembled with anger. But in the end, I sighed helplessly. After all, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, even if he argues, it will not help.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the door suddenly poured in like a tide. doesn't care about three, seven, twenty-one, and pulls people out.

Philip, as the governor of a state and the head of the consulate of the Ming Dynasty, has never received such treatment.

So he shouted: "This is the British Consulate, you can't treat an envoy of a country like this." ”。 Others were encouraged and also protested loudly.

But an Indian officer stepped forward and replied with a blank face: "According to the law, if the two countries are at war, the personnel of the other side's embassy have diplomatic immunity. But you are a consulate and are not protected by decree. And in the land of the Ming Dynasty, British robbers and bandits were not welcome. ”。

He wore a one-bar and one-star epaulette on his shoulders, apparently a second lieutenant. And the military rank of the Ming Dynasty is almost copied from the China and China of later generations, so the rank of second lieutenant is already a petty officer.

In the Ming Dynasty, it is rare for an Indian to become an officer.

Therefore, Philip did not dare to underestimate this originally inferior Indian ensign.

Knowing that things are hard to change, Philip doesn't talk much nonsense either. Calming down, he deliberately slowed down his tone and said, "Dear Mr. Ensign, can you give us a little time to pack up our things?" ”。

When they were in India, these Englishmen had seen their natives. So the officer looked at Philip's deliberate flattery, and he was extremely relieved. But this is all thanks to the Ming Dynasty, if he didn't become a Ming person, these British people would have to treat him as a person.

Thinking of this, his loyalty to Da Ming deepened a little.

nodded expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay! I'll give you five minutes. As soon as the time came, this place was taken back by the Ming Dynasty. ”。

Philip tried to fight for it, but after four minutes of the officer's words, he shut up in amusement.

As soon as the five minutes arrived, the staff of the British consulate were blasted out. And the soldiers also had to check their luggage on the grounds that they would not steal their belongings.

Philip suddenly felt ridiculous! The entire British Consulate belongs to them, so what is there to steal?

But he was used to the Ming Dynasty's unlimited limit, so he didn't bother to argue.

Immediately after the inspection, the officer announced that, according to the president's order, the British and Chinese could not take with them more than 1,000 yuan when they left. The reason is that their things are all snatched from the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, 99.9 percent of the British and Chinese people's belongings would be withheld.

Even though Philip repeatedly told himself not to be angry at Da Ming's unreasonableness, he still couldn't bear it.

He blushed and protested loudly. And constantly make threats.

The others were also angry, and some had already begun to attack the soldiers.

Until there was a bang, and the officer pulled the trigger into the air. The soldiers also shook off the entanglement of the British and Chinese, and pointed their black guns at them.

The British were quiet, a little afraid of the muskets in the hands of the soldiers. But Philip relied on himself as the curator of the consulate, with identity and status. So bite the bullet and take a step forward.

Just listen to the bang ...

Shots like fried beans rang out at Philip's feet, and most recently, his shoes were sliced.

It scared the hell out of him! Whether the soldiers came for real or not, he didn't dare to take another step forward.

The officer waved his hand, and two powerful soldiers immediately stood out of the ranks.

"Y-you-what are you going to do?" , Philip looked at the approaching soldiers, his face turned white, and shouted in horror.

Seeing this, the officer replied with great relief: "Oh! I forgot to tell you about it earlier! Since you are the puppet governor of South Wales, the president ordered that you should be kept in Daming and treated as a prisoner of war. ”。

"War-war-prisoners?" , Philip said tremblingly, looking incredulous.

The officer didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, waved his hand, and asked the soldier to take him away. It wasn't until the shouting and scolding were far away that the officer looked at the stunned British consulate staff with a chuckle, and reminded softly: "The president still has an order, at five o'clock this afternoon, if you haven't left Daming yet, then you can only be accompanied by Mr. Philip." ”。

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces instantly showed relief, fear, panic, and anger, and all kinds of expressions were staged alternately, which was extremely complicated.

However, they still remembered the time, so they hurriedly took the only possessions and hurried to the docks. Strive to leave the land of Daming before five o'clock in the afternoon.

In the face of freedom, no one wants to be with Philip!

Two days later, Minh Kyung City, Haiphong District.

Hill-like ships docked on the calm shore, the towering chimneys, reflective iron hulls, and jet-black cannons give people a sense of tension in whiteness.

And on the dock, the two brigades of Suzaku and Xuanwu, a total of 4,000 soldiers, were carrying their bags and preparing to go.

Because the navy of the Ming Dynasty was formed too late, it was too late to train. Therefore, after discussion in the cabinet, the two brigades of Suzaku and Xuanwu were finally included in the navy.

Ninety and a half of these two brigades are Nanyang immigrants, and they were both fluent in the water before. When it comes to training, it's also twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, after only a few months of hard work, it already has the appearance of the navy. As for the remaining half of the age, they are Australian aborigines, although they have never been to the sea, but with the help of these immigrants, they are not in the way.

Of course, a strong navy cannot be trained overnight. Their mission this time was mainly to be responsible for landing operations.

Therefore, not only Zhang Xiao, Minister of the Ming Navy, but also Liu Weiguo, the general of the People's Army, traveled this time. Among them, the naval battle part is dominated by Zhang Xiao. In the land war part, Liu Weiguo was the first.

However, in order to avoid disagreements in wartime, the fighters were delayed. The Cabinet also decided that, under normal circumstances, Liu Weiguo's opinion should be the leader.

Because of the thought of Zhang Xiao's enthusiasm, the cabinet members still remember it vividly, and they were a little worried that he would be hot-headed and lose the battlefield.

After all, this is the first time that the Ming Republic has gone to war with a Western maritime power!

Although the subjects had been replaced by the unsuspecting Dutch and Portuguese, the Ming had ships that threw them a few streets away. But the top brass of the republic still can't help but worry.
