Chapter 224: The Battle of Wanyan Tower
Ye Shaolong rode a high-headed horse, followed by a long group of officers and soldiers, and swaggered through the city along the way and went straight to Wanyan Tower. Wherever the pen "Fun" Pavilion went www.biquge.info people watched.
When the people learned that Ye Shaolong was going to negotiate with foreigners again, they immediately watched and cheered along the road to cheer for Ye Shaolong.
Seeing the people in the provincial capital, such a crowd is surging, and the tower is also quite proud. He was closely behind Ye Shaolong, and his big mouth had never been closed.
The tower responded politely to the applause of the people, and for a while he forgot about himself, and his smug color was revealed. Ye Shaolong turned around and saw it by chance, and couldn't help frowning, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
A sense of honor is a must, but it's not good to go too far, the tower is obviously too proud at the moment, and it will inevitably encourage unhealthy tendencies in the long run.
The so-called what kind of generals there are, what kind of soldiers, even the general of the iron tower began to be proud, but imagine what the soldiers under his command would be like.
Ye Shaolong deliberately slowed down his speed, and when the tower was closer, he reminded: "Pay attention to your image, don't be too proud." ”
The smile on Tie Tower's face froze instantly, and it took a while to see him put away his smiling face and replied seriously: "Thank you young master for reminding me!" ”
Ye Shaolong nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, and didn't say anything more? The nature of the tower is not bad, and it is clear to himself that he is not deeply involved.
Not long after walking, Wanyan Tower has already appeared in sight. After being taken over by Nari, Wanyan Building has opened again. Hanging on a sheep's head, but selling dog meat.
There is a restaurant outside, but inside it is actually secretly selling big cigarettes, and because the tobacco houses outside are all sealed by Ye Shaolong. This will, the business of Wanyan Building is quite hot.
Big smoke will make people addictive, once it is difficult to quit, foreigners use this big smoke to harvest the Qing Dynasty's fat and people's ointment. At the same time, the people's bodies, including willpower, are completely lost, and if this continues, the great country will sink in a few years.
What kind of foreigner technology does the little emperor want to engage in, in Ye Shaolong's opinion, this is a bit of putting the cart before the horse. If you don't clear this smoke out of the Great Qing first, even if you can really make something, there will be no one to use it by then.
If you want to strengthen the country, you must first get rid of the cancer of big smoke, and only by doing this can we talk about the road to self-help of a strong country. Otherwise, it's all empty talk!
There were four foreigners guarding the building with guns, and suddenly they saw a large number of officers and soldiers coming, and two of them turned around and rushed into the building, apparently to report to the people above.
"Stop, you have already stepped into our concession, what can you explain?" The remaining two guards immediately rushed up to intercept Ye Shaolong and them.
Ye Shaolong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he coldly ordered to the iron tower: "Surround Wanyan Tower and hand over their weapons." ”
"Yes!"
The tower responded loudly, turned over and jumped off his horse, and rushed forward with hundreds of officers and soldiers without saying a word.
The two foreigner guards bore the brunt of the attack, and were rudely handed over their guns by several officers and soldiers, and then tied up with five flowers. At this time, the iron tower also led the officers and soldiers to surround the entire Wanyan Building, and then wanted to lead people to rush into the building.
At this moment, more than 20 foreigners also rushed out of the building, blocking the door, and they were guarding with guns. Kate looked at Ye Shaolong, who was still sitting on the horse, with a dark face, and roared angrily: "Lord Ye, what are you doing here." Wanyan House is owned by Mr. Neri, and this is our concession, and you don't seem to have the right to interfere in anything here. ”
"Joke, under the yellow sky, it is not the king's land, you actually stand on the land of our Great Qing Dynasty, saying that we have no right to interfere in anything here." Ye Shaolong responded coldly, and then with the help of his subordinates, he got off the war horse.
Shi Shiran walked in front of Kate, Ye Shaolong was full of murderous energy, and said with a cruel smile: "Today, the official of this Wanyan Building will be taken back, and also, tell your general Neri, the emperor has given this official full authority to manage the provincial capital." In the future, you will not be allowed to come ashore here, and you will not be allowed to confiscate it once you see your own officer. ”
"You ......"
Kate's face changed suddenly, and she was about to refute Ye Shaolong, but the latter didn't give him any chance, and directly ordered the tower to control Kate and his twenty or so subordinates.
The rest of the officers and soldiers smoothly rushed into the Wanyan Building, and for a while, the whole building began to jump. This time, Ye Shaolong didn't even let go of those who were smoking big cigarettes, and they all caught them.
In less than half an hour, hundreds of officers and soldiers took strong control of Wanyan Tower, and after Ye Shaolong got the report, Shi Shiran came to Kate who was detained, and sneered: "This time, the official will not arrest you, and he should give you a warning." ”
After speaking, Ye Shaolong waved his hand at the iron tower, and more than 20 foreigners were driven out of Wanyan Tower. From beginning to end, Kate didn't say anything more? But he didn't leave outside Wanyan Building, and still stood on the street watching Ye Shaolong and those officers and soldiers busy arresting people.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the street, and I saw a large number of heavily armed foreign soldiers rushing over, followed by a fast horse, and the person on horseback was Neri, who had just arrived with news.
Nari, who was on horseback from afar, had already seen that Wanyanlou was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and as soon as the horse stopped, Neri didn't care about 3721, so he shouted loudly and all the foreigners rushed in to recapture Wanyanlou.
The iron tower, which had been prepared for a long time, led people to confront the foreign soldiers at the first time, and no one gave in to the muzzle of the guns on both sides. The atmosphere instantly became particularly tense, and if someone shook his hand and fired such a shot, in such a tense situation, it would definitely cause a scuffle.
Ye Shaolong appeared at the gate, stared at the angry Nari with a cold face, and laughed: "General Neri, now this official officially informs you that Wanyan Building will be owned by this official in the future." ”
"Ye Shaolong, whoever gives you the guts, you dare to take the general's things." Neri blushed with anger and roared back.
"What guts do you need to take back Wanyan Tower? This official wants to ask you, who made you feel that Wanyan Tower belongs to you? Pouting and replying, Ye Shaolong did not back down at all.
It seemed that there was no need for the two sides to continue the discussion, and Nari secretly observed the situation between the two sides at the moment. In terms of numbers, there were more officers and soldiers in the Qing Dynasty than on their own. But judging from the advantages of firearms, Neri felt that he would not lose.
Just as Neri was hesitating whether to do it, Kate finally walked over and whispered a few words in her ear. When Neri heard this, her face changed again.
yelled at Ye Shaolong again: "You dare to ban smoking in the provincial capital, it's good, it's good, it's up to me to see how you ban it." ”
Nairi, who was still angry, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and with a smile on his face, he yelled and withdrew his troops, and then turned his horse's head and galloped away.
