The big landlords and big businessmen who had a close relationship with the Manchu Qing Dynasty also became Hong Tiangui's targets, especially those who had been Manchu officials and had made enough profits to enjoy the happiness of Shanghai, and Hong Tiangui had their homes raided, and those who resisted were killed on the spot.

The whole city of Shanghai was in chaos, and people everywhere were panicking. Especially in the Shanghai Concession, because the coalition forces dispatched too much, there were only a few hundred policemen in the concession to maintain order, and these people could hardly do anything in the face of the wolf-like Taiping army.

Hong Tiangui had no intention of causing any massacre, he did not touch the houses of those foreigners, but the foreigners' trading houses and money stores were seized, and everything useful was gathered by the Taiping army.

Where there was oppression, there was resistance, and it was the British and French expatriates who resisted the most fiercely, and they gathered hundreds of people in the concession to attack the Taiping army.

In charge of the British and French concessions was Guo Zonghui's 5th Division of the Second Army, which was caught off guard and lost hundreds of men.

This sudden change made Guo Zonghui furious, he personally led his personal guards to besiege and kill these foreigners, more than 500 foreigners resisted and the expatriates were besieged and killed by Guo Zonghui, the entire concession was shaken, and no one dared to resist anymore.

When Hong Tiangui got the news and rushed over, Guo Zonghui had already asked people to clean up the battlefield. Guo Zonghui was a little apprehensive, and made a decision in anger, but now that he thinks about it, the king of heaven asked them not to embarrass the foreigners.

"Well done, no matter who they are, if they dare to rebel against our heavenly kingdom, they must be prepared to be killed. Zong Hui, let the bodies of the soldiers who died in the war be cremated and the ashes brought back, and the king will bring them back when he takes them out. Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

Guo Zonghui breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took action.

The raid on the concession went so smoothly that the foreigners huddled in their homes and allowed the Taiping soldiers to take away their brand-new machines and all the gold and silver from their trading houses and banks.

The Second ** War made the British and French oppression of the Manchus deeper, and they had sharpened their knives and prepared to spread the colonial power to the whole of China, for which they established eighteen chambers of commerce in the bridgehead of Shanghai, brought a large number of advanced industrial equipment, and trained a large number of workers, ready to use the Shanghai Concession as a bridgehead to use industrial products to plunder the wealth of China.

It's a pity that all of this is cheap, Hong Tiangui.

obtained huge benefits, but Hong Tiangui had a headache and didn't know how to transport it out. There are 30,000 of them, but there is not enough manpower to move the entire Shanghai industrial equipment.

"Your Majesty, we can hold the city of Shanghai, and with the walls of Shanghai, it is enough to repel the enemy's attack." Sun Libin suggested.

Hong Tiangui shook his head firmly, and said: "Shanghai cannot be defended, with our strength, we can't stop the joint strangulation of China and foreign countries, this time we take the opportunity to occupy Shanghai City, at most the army of foreigners will be killed in two days, we must find a way to transport these weapons out." ”

"Do you want the people who are loyal to the king to answer?" Wang Jian, commander of the First Division of the First Army, said in a deep voice.

Hong Tiangui shook his head, King Zhong is now stationed in Songjiang Mansion and fighting fiercely with the Huai army and the coalition army. When the coalition retreated, King Zhong may not be able to react in time, and Hong Tiangui is always a little wary of Li Xiucheng, so it is really difficult to trust him unreservedly.

"If you want to leave, we may have a way! But it's a risky option! Sun Libin said in a deep voice.

"What's the solution?"

"At sea!"

"At sea? But we don't have a ship, do we? Zhang Guangshuang, commander of the First Division of the Second Army, said in a deep voice.

"We don't have a ship, but the Manchus do! The interrogation has just learned that tonight the Manchu Jiangnan Navy will send thousands of reinforcements to come, plus their ships carrying supplies and the merchant ships on the docks, we may not be able to get rid of these things that we have collected. Sun Libin's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Robbing the Manchu Shimizu Division's warship? Is this possible? Zhang Guangshuang looked at him in astonishment. Originally, Sun Libin took away the position of commander of the Second Army, and he, Sun Zhengping, and Xie Zhihai were uncomfortable in their hearts, and Sun Libin's suggestion was a little too taken for granted, and it was definitely not easy to realize it.

Hong Tiangui's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter can be tried." ”

"Your Majesty, it's too risky, it's impossible for all enemy sailors to go ashore, not to mention that we are all fresh faces, there are no acquaintances, and the plan is not easy to implement." Xie Zhihai is extremely cautious, he feels that this method seems to be feasible, but it is difficult to maintain it in practice. After all, this is wartime, and the Manchu Qingshui Army will not be too careless.

"Then what if the general of the Huai army fully assists us?" Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

The division commanders looked at him suspiciously, they had the enemy's generals there.

Hong Tiangui smiled slightly, and said: "At this time, you don't have to worry, tonight set up a flowing water banquet at the dock to entertain the hard-working sailor brothers, Xie Zhihai, this matter will be left to you, those who are full of clear water soldiers will not be killed, and it is convenient to control the warship if they are mastered." Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as you can lure the sailor off the ship, there will be no mistakes in other things."

Hong Tiangui nodded, and ordered someone to bring Sun Mingchuan to his house, and retired all the guards, and Hong Tiangui was alone with him.

In the darkness of the night, the city of Shanghai, which had been chaotic all night, finally quieted down, and the dense patrol of the "Huai Army" on the streets made those who wanted to go out of the city to inform the front-line army of the opportunity to lose the opportunity. Especially outside the sight of the docks, it was surrounded by Wehrmacht people. At this moment, the dock is brightly lit, full of square tables, full of banquets, and there are altars of wine on the side of the screen, and red lanterns are hung around it, which looks full of festivities.

I have to say that Xie Zhihai is extremely cautious, even if this banquet is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance intended for Pei Gong, but all the details are in place, even if there are no acquaintances to summon him, the people of the Manchu Jiangnan Navy are likely to get off the boat.

Before that, the roar of a steam turbine could be heard on the sea.

The faces of the people on the dock changed.

"Lord Wang rest assured, this is a foreigner's merchant ship, the Jiangnan Navy Division has limited capacity, and most of the reinforcements and materials are transported by foreigners' merchant ships." Liu Mingchuan, who had already changed into court clothes, said respectfully.

For the sake of this bureau, Hong Tiangui used the control god to control Liu Mingchuan. Hong Tiangui was originally quite optimistic about Liu Mingchuan and wanted to subdue him by normal means, but in the face of the huge temptation of seizing the enemy's warship, a Liu Mingchuan Hong Tiangui could only sacrifice him.

Under the moonlight, the shadow of the ship gradually appeared on the sea, the flag of the foreigners and the dragon flag of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were there, and the originally slightly empty dock instantly became congested.

There were cheers from the pier, and huge torches lit up the pier.

Soon the ship docked, and it could be seen from the light of the fire on the ship that the people on board were extremely suspicious and did not rashly disembark.
