Chapter 907: Make a Fortune!
However, not to mention the French army that is far away, even the British army behind it is impossible to rush to Kuala Lumpur in a moment and a half, even if the British army in Taiping City wants to reach Kuala Lumpur, it will take a day and a night, Taiping City is almost more than 100 kilometers away from Kuala Lumpur!
Shandong Sailor has now managed Singapore, where will Kuala Lumpur be given so much time to prepare?
From Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, in just ten hours, the Shandong sailors rushed in. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, the British army in Taiping City had just completed its assembly, and it would be at least a day before they arrived.
When he came to Kuala Lumpur, Ding Ruchang was unceremoniously and directly commanded the fleet to launch an offensive towards Kuala Lumpur, covering the army to prepare to land in Kuala Lumpur.
Like Singapore, there is also an infantry regiment stationed in Kuala Lumpur, however, an infantry regiment is simply not enough in front of the Shandong Naval Division, and the firepower is too poor!
The artillery fire in the sky in a very short period of time to cover the city of Kuala Lumpur, continuous explosions, sound shock, the entire Kuala Lumpur city flames, gunpowder billowing, in the distance, Walcott looked at the strong Shandong naval division, full of bitterness, this time it is going to be unlucky, people are twenty warships, so they continue to attack their own positions, the cannonballs in the sky, like a locust plague coming. The British reinforcements are still far away in Taiping City, and the other reinforcements are even farther away, all the way to Burma, where the port of Myanmar is closest to Kuala Lumpur, thousands of miles away, or even two thousand miles away! The French army is further away!
Walcott had to command the infantry regiment and constantly block, but an artillery regiment had only a dozen artillery pieces in total, and the artillery firepower could not be compared with the Shandong Naval Division.
Immediately afterwards, the commander of the second brigade, Wu Jing, led the officers and men of the second brigade to rush up to the Kuala Lumpur harbor wharf, first of all, an infantry battalion quickly boarded the wharf, and then launched an attack on the British infantry in front, suppressing the opponent's firepower.
At this time, the British infantry regiment had no power to fight back, and it was suppressed by the fleet's naval guns and could not raise its head at all, not only that, but together with the soldiers who landed in the second brigade, the strength and combat power should not be underestimated!
The British army was defeated and retreated, and in just two hours, the officers and men of the 2nd Brigade had completely gained a foothold in the harbor, and under the command of Wu Jing, they continued to advance towards the center of Kuala Lumpur!
Walcott was completely panicked, couldn't resist, couldn't resist the opponent's attack at all! Even if an entire infantry regiment occupies some strongholds to fight, it is still no opponent, and the artillery of the second brigade can completely destroy the fortifications of the stronghold in a short time!
Wu Jing led the second brigade to continue to attack, and in just one night, the situation in Kuala Lumpur was completely controlled, and the Governor of Malaysia, Walcott, and his entourage drove out of Kuala Lumpur!
Occupying Kuala Lumpur, Wu Jing did not rush forward in the direction, their purpose was not to occupy the entire Malay Peninsula, at least, not now, not to mention a naval fleet and a mercenary corps, even if they brought three Lu divisions over, they may not be able to withstand the counterattack of the British Empire in the future, here are the core interests of the British Empire, they will definitely not let go!
However, giving up is giving up, but you must not give up like this!
Wu Jing stood in the Governor's Palace, and shouted coldly: "Order, give me the British property and bank in Kuala Lumpur, let me go!" How did they rob us at the beginning, today, we will snatch it back tenfold! ”
This is also the order given to him by Chen Hai before he came, that is, to rob, this war is the price paid by Guo Ye, but it is really not small, the war consumes too many resources, after the war is over, it is almost impossible to blackmail Britain and France, so the only way to start robbing is now.
Kuala Lumpur, this is not just a city, but the center of the whole of Malacca, where a great deal of wealth is gathered, and a lot of the wealth that the British Empire plundered from Asia is concentrated here, and then transported back to the British Isles by sea.
This is a cheap Wujing, the entire Second Brigade has all taken action, except for civilians who do not rob, Chinese people do not rob, as long as it is not pleasing to the eye, then go up and loot, in a whole day, the entire Kuala Lumpur was almost turned over by the Second Brigade!
But it's amazing, Wu Jing looked at the steady stream of materials that were packed into boxes and bags, and he was very happy!
Pounds alone, that's millions, millions of pounds, that's a lot of money! Gold? How can there be less gold? Boxes after boxes of gold, there were four or five hundred chests, and each chest contained fifty gold bars, two thousand taels, and together, there were eight or nine hundred thousand taels of gold! Silver, silver is not much, after all, silver is no longer the mainstream currency in the world in this era, and it is only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but in addition to these, there are other materials, all the weapons and equipment have been carried out by the second brigade!
Millions of pounds, 8,900,000 taels of gold, is worth more than 15 million taels of silver!
Got rich, definitely got rich, this is equivalent to snatching back a small and medium-sized bank for Dashuai!
"Quick, quick, transport all the supplies to the troop carrier, haha, rest assured, Richard, none of our brothers will lose, all of them will have a share, you just wait for the money!"
Wu Jing turned his head and smiled at Richard, the chief of staff on the side.
Richard's face turned red, loss? This is definitely not a loss, these are all turned in, and there are not handed in, don't forget, the task of robbery is carried out by the soldiers, naturally you have to stuff your own pockets first, and then think about this to hand it in!
"It's ......"
Wu Jing suddenly saw dozens of soldiers dragging a behemoth over in a trailer, he didn't know him at all, and asked suspiciously, "Jack, are you crazy?" What is this? What are you doing with half of this? How much is an iron lump worth? ”
Captain Company Commander Jack smiled: "Brigade Commander, you don't know this, this is called drilling, it is used for oil, it seems that Kuala Lumpur has discovered this one, and now on the east coast of the United States, this is everywhere, and it can be used to drill oil, and those are priceless treasures!" Don't look at this as just an iron lump, this set of equipment alone is not less than tens of thousands of pounds, and it is very sought-after, it is very difficult to buy, our General Guo, don't you just like these engineering equipment? Let's pull him back! ”
"Good! Good boy, it's rare that you have a heart, remember that our handsome man likes these things! ”
