"What the hell is the weather, why is it so hot! It's still hard to live. Lieutenant Colonel Yu Ze, the escort officer, wiped the sweat on his head and said, "It's only been more than a month and less than two months, shouldn't it be a few snows?" ”

Another escort officer, Major Yang Hua, simply held the cotton coat sandwiched inside, and then put on an extra single coat and said, "Isn't it?" The ghost weather in the south is as changeable and weird as this southerner, they are all a group of Diao people, when Emperor Hongxian advocated the republic, didn't these southerners want to elect Sun Monkey as the emperor? As soon as our Emperor Hongxian went up, your mother actually raised what the hell to maintain the ghost flag of the republic, it was really moody, no wonder the ancients called them the Southern Barbarians and Southern Monkeys, it's really true! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Yu Ze glanced at him and said, "Don't complain, these southern barbarians can't turn the sky, after we hand in this errand, let the brothers of Beiyang drive these southern barbarians into the sea." ”

Major Yang Hua said: "It is said that these Southern Barbarians eat people's heels, and the dirtier they are, the happier they are. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Yu Ze said: "What you said is the barbarian of Liangguang, people in many places in Guangzhou are stealing children and eating children, so these people have no loyalty in their hearts, and some are just interested interests, as long as you give him enough money, not only will your wife give you to play, but also help you let off steam." ”

Major Yang Hua said: "The more I think about it, the more scared I become, let's hurry up, and when we get to Li Houye's side, we will hand over these ammunition clearly and quickly hand over the ammunition to Beijing." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Yu Ze took out a small wine jug from his waist, and after taking two sips, he handed it to Yang Hua and said, "Drink some, this ghost weather is not cold, but Yin De is panicking." ”

After Yang Hua took a few sips, he exhaled a breath of heat very happily and said, "This hellish weather, hellish yin, it's really sad not to drink two sips, I really don't understand how a normal person can stay in this place." ”

Yu Ze smiled and said: "These Southern barbarians are not human beings in the first place, especially the Lingnan barbarians, and the central government has also sent all kinds of big officials to educate them, but unfortunately the evil spirit here is too heavy!" Good officials like Han Yu and Su Dongpo couldn't stand it, and bad officials turned into complicit with these southern barbarians. ”

While the two were talking, suddenly a horse pulling a cart in front of him fell to the ground with a pop and foamed at the mouth, his limbs twitched, and even the carriage he was pulling with a clang, and he slammed forward, knocking the heavy boxes on the cart into a clang.

Yu Ze and Yang Hua hurriedly walked over and asked about the situation, and the groom who was driving the car couldn't say anything, and after talking for a while. It can only be attributed to the hellish climate here, even the best horses can't stand it.

So it is with horses, how much more about men?

The escort soldiers who followed the south from the north couldn't help but feel Mao in their hearts.

Yu Ze sighed and said: "What are you afraid of, you won't be able to die for a while, this has crossed the Yangtze River, as long as we get to Jiujiang, we will be able to reach the land of Marquis Li, and it is reasonable for him to send someone to pick it up when the time comes!" ”

For this proposal, Yang Hua immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you have a good idea, just now my brother looked at the map, walk more than ten miles, there is a small town in front of you, and when you get there, you will send a telegram to Hou Ye Li!" ”

Yu Ze said: "Of course Marquis Li wants to send it there, but where does Lord Chang want to send it!" And to be the first to strike! ”

"What a reason! Brother, even if we send a telegram from Lord Chang, without Hou Ye's instructions, people won't post us! Yang Hua asked puzzled.

"Stupid!" Yu Ze said: "He likes to take care of it or not, when we get to the land of Jiujiang, we will throw these things away from the usual lord, do he love it!" It's best not to have anything to do with our brothers, don't, let's eat, drink and have fun in Jiujiang City, and wait for Hou Ye Li to telegraph, this Jiujiang is close to Hunan and Sichuan, and if Hou Ye Li wants to go to Sichuan to quell the chaos for the emperor, he must go from Jiujiang, so Hou Ye Li will definitely let Lord Chang leave those bullets! ”

"High, really high!" After Yang Hua finished happily, he ran to the escort team and urged.

After receiving the telegram, the Jiujiang Town Guard Telecommunications Office did not dare to delay, and directly sent someone to submit the telegram to Chang Zhenbang, and after a while, another telegram was sent to Chang Zhenbang, Chang Zhenbang compared the two telegrams with a faint smile on his solemn face, and said to himself: "God really cares for me, what do you really want!" Immediately found Chang Zhenyan, whispered a few words in his ear, and then handed him two small notes.

Chang Zhenyan carefully put the note into his arms and said, "Engong, don't worry, Yanzi will definitely deliver these notes on time." ”

Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "Everything depends on you, after this success, my brother will give you a big mansion!" ”

Chang Zhenyan thought for a while and said: "Engong, I don't want a house, you can help me write it down, and when the ten great things are completed, it will be good if you promote me to an official." ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said: "Silly boy, this promotion depends on merit and chance, as long as you do it well, my brother will ensure that you will one day be more majestic and majestic than those dog-eyed and low-level garrisons." ”

After Chang Zhenyan thanked Chang Zhenbang, she turned over and fell from the windowsill, like a proud little mouse, and disappeared in front of Chang Zhenbang's eyes in three or two clicks.

Chang Zhenbang immediately left the office, took Wang Dewang and Zhang Xiaoliu and drove to the British Consulate in the British Concession.

"Old friend, what is the wind that made you come in such a hurry?" Basili handed over a glass of poured red wine.

Chang Zhenbang took it, tasted it gently, put it aside, and said, "You can take action on the thing you said last time!" ”

Basili smiled faintly and said, "My friend, pay attention to your words, it should be you begging me to do something!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "It's done, it's easy to say anything!" ”

"I need time to communicate with Silas!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "I gave you the time!" ”

"Bureaucracy is inevitable in any full-fledged empire!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Some things should be decided, have you read the recent newspapers?" Everyone is disgusted by the arrogance of your British! ”

"Why do you want to publish such a ridiculous demand to boycott British goods, and what is your censorship for?" The empire needs a prosperous and stable Jiujiang City full of confidence and gratitude to the empire! And not a hostile city full of anti-British rhetoric and actions! ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "The British Empire is neither an ally nor a vassal country to the Chinese Empire, and news censorship is unnecessary in any way, but as your friend, I have suppressed more anti-British remarks!" As long as you start to act, I can guarantee that the town guard will make these anti-British remarks disappear completely! ”

"But what about the boycott of British goods?" Basiri asked-for-tat.

Chang Zhenbang said: "There will be no boycott of your country's goods!" As long as anyone wants to buy something from the UK, they will not be blocked. ”

"But ......" Basili didn't finish speaking, so Chang Zhenbang interrupted: "China is different from the British Empire, the officials are the sky here, the earth here, the parents of the people, the people are just the people, what the father wants these children to hear, these children will hear, if they don't let them hear something, they won't hear anything, this time your actions may make some so-called patriots, hot-blooded young people disgusted, but I can make most people close their eyes!" You must know that even if you don't act, these hot-blooded young people will boycott British goods and oppose you foreign devils! ”

In the impression of Brazil, Chang Zhenbang has always been a naughty and shrewd but weak fox, and he cooperates to play with his heart, and it is also a kind of fun to take advantage of each other, who knows that today's Chang Zhenbang has become a lion who says nothing, which makes him a little surprised and uncomfortable, to be honest, Chang Zhenbang is just a European gentleman, but he is just a middle-level official of the sick man of East Asia, that's all, but he teaches himself a lesson like a boss reprimanding his subordinates, which is a bit presumptuous.

"You have plenty of time!" Chang Zhenbang said coldly: "Maybe you are not satisfied with my words, but this thing must be done!" All right. Saying that, Chang Zhenbang took out a pocket watch from his arms and looked at it, and said, "I'm going to arrange it quickly, happy cooperation!" Saying that, Chang Zhenbang took Zhang Xiaoliu and Wang Dewang out of the consulate with a swagger, leaving behind the jaw-dropping Brazil.

"The attitude of the adult to teach that foreign devil a lesson, the lowly people are really happy to see it!" Zhang Xiaoliu happily invited Chang Zhenbang to the Buick car.

Chang Zhenbang said: "The win-win situation between foreigners and our cooperation department can beat their arrogance, but they can't be overly offended, otherwise it is not the principle of doing things!" ”

"Anyway, my subordinates really admire that my lord dares to teach this foreigner a lesson like this!" Wang Dewang said flatteringly.

"Okay, let's stop slapping the sycophants and go to the barracks!" Chang Zhenbang Road.

Looking at Chang Zhenbang's Buick car roaring away, Basili's face was full of displeasure, and he wanted to tie up the rampant yellow monkey and throw it in a cage to feed the dogs, but he still picked up the phone and found Lieutenant Colonel Silas.

"Your Excellency Consul, are you looking for me?" Silas said.

Basili said with a gloomy face: "What do you think of the last time you were discussed?" ”

Silas said: "I fully agree with what Your Excellency has explained, and it has been arranged, and at the time that the adults think is appropriate, they can teach these yellow monkeys a lesson!" ”

"It seems that you haven't let go of the matter of the flour mill last time!" Basiri Road.

Silas said: "The British Empire is an empire on which the sun never sets, and the fact that the town guard officer of a mere inferior country is pointing fingers at the behavior of the imperial officers and soldiers is an insult and contempt to the imperial navy and a great disrespect to the empire!" Since politeness can't make these yellow monkeys feel awe of the Empire, violence is the only language they can understand! ”

“NO！” "The dignity of the empire cannot be desecrated, but now that the empire is in full swing in Europe and Germany, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. ”

Silas said proudly: "Your Excellency, the Imperial Navy only needs a detachment to blockade all the ports on the southeast coast of the entire country!" ”

"It's not the time for Magalny to visit China! A small expeditionary force was not enough to bring the Chinese to their knees. Brazil listened to Silas's words, and couldn't help frowning, the glory of the imperial navy gave these people proud capital, but blindly making enemies is not rational, just like a two-front battle whether it can defeat China or not, it will make the empire's front in Europe longer, giving those Germanic barbarians some opportunities, thinking of this, he sighed a long time, and said: "What the empire needs now is not to make China submit, but to let China's flour, cement and other strategic resources continue to flow into the empire's European battlefield, I hope you can understand this, and if you cannot approve of this, I may have to ask the Consul General to appoint a more suitable person to serve as military attache in the British Concession of Jiujiang. ”

Silas's face changed when he heard this, in China, a land that he completely despised at all, he could be like those lords and lords in the Middle Ages, acting recklessly but not affecting his promotion and wealth, once transferred, it is estimated that nine times out of ten he will be sent to the European battlefield, facing those ferocious and terrible Germanic people, just thinking about it cold sweat will flow down like water.

Seeing his sweaty appearance, Basili naturally understood what he was thinking, so he said gloomily: "If you don't want to go to the European battlefield and still want to stay in Jiujiang to work with me, then please put away the arrogance and convenience of these Chinese in your heart, obey my orders, and I will let you return home with gold and silver stuffed in your box." ”

Silas thanked both of them, gave a naval salute, and said, "Please also ask the consul to command, humble ...... Your subordinates will definitely complete the characters you have confessed! ”

"That's right!" Basiri admired the change in his attitude: "In three days, your sailors will be able to act according to the original agreed plan, and I will deal with it on the side of the local officials in Jiujiang, but do not provoke, let alone provoke war!" ”

Silas said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, your subordinates will not attack these yellow monkeys, but they will definitely make them feel fear and fear in their hearts!" ”

Basiri said with relief: "That's right! As long as you do things with this attitude, you will be able to become a general by the end of the war in Europe. ”

Silas excitedly said, "Thank you! The subordinates will definitely live up to the high expectations of the adults! After saying that, he went back happily.

A black cloud in the distant sky slowly pressed over, making people inexplicably feel more depressed, Basili sighed, turned around and sat on the office chair, reached out and gently tapped his head a few times, and said to himself: "Things seem to have become a little complicated, I hope everything is not beyond the control of the Empire!" God bless the British Empire, Amen! ”

After speaking, the dark clouds on the horizon rumbled and thundered, and the heavy rain poured down, and after a while, the roaring rain fell, annihilating a noisy sound from far and near the cities inside and outside the concession.
