I'm sorry, it's been a few days, because the rabbit is not feeling well, and his head is in a mess, and now it is getting better, and I will make up for it as soon as possible.

…………

"Will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order! You are now under the command of Lord Li Hongzhang, and there will be no forgiveness for those who disrespect the order! Liu Mingchuan said coldly.

Most of the officers of the navy were under house arrest, and the soldiers were terrified, and no one dared to disobey in the face of bloody blades.

Liu Mingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, this matter was done.

Outside the dock, Hong Tiangui patiently waited for the final result, saying that it was false not to be nervous, but since he did it, there was nothing to regret, not to mention that with Liu Mingchuan, his "own person", the certainty of success was still great.

"Your Majesty, Liu Mingchuan has just surrendered, will there be a mistake in such trust?" Wang Jian, commander of the First Division of the First Army, said in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter, since he has taken refuge in me, this king must give him enough trust." Hong Tiangui has confidence in his own control of the gods, so far although the control of the gods has leaked out of the shortcomings that cannot last for a long time, but now Liu Mingchuan is only a new general of the Huai Army, whether it is identity or personality will, Hong Tiangui does not think that he can compare with Hong Xiuquan, Hong Xiuquan still needs three days to get rid of the control of the gods, Liu Mingchuan will be at least three days later, and three days is enough to complete all his arrangements, if it goes well, the time to return to Tianjing is also extremely abundant.

For Hong Tiangui's self-confidence, Wang Jian couldn't figure it out, he discussed it with several generals of the First Army and the Second Army, and also arranged a backhand in Hong Tiangui's plan, after all, they were just sneak attacks to occupy Shanghai, after the initial brain fever, thinking that the 100,000 army of King Zhong had failed, he naturally understood that Shanghai City could not be defended. At least the current Wehrmacht can't defend it.

"Heavenly King, Liu Ming has returned, and the matter is done!" Heavenly Sword's face was full of joy.

"Great! Immediately let people quickly contact the navy Lu Shunde and let them meet along the Yangtze River, and I am ready to personally lead the sailors to enter the Yangtze River by sea! ”

"The king of heaven must not take the land route, the sea is too dangerous!" Wang Jian objected loudly.

Heavenly Sword and the others also objected.

Although Shanghai is a place of war, but now the warring sides of King Zhong and the Huai army are in the open, and Hong Tiangui's national defense army is in the dark, at this time the danger of him leaving by land is relatively small, and on the vast sea, there are too many unknown things, once it is recognized, there is no chance to escape on the sea.

Hong Tiangui frowned, he didn't expect so many people to oppose it, but after thinking about the current situation, it is indeed better to be on the ground than at sea, after all, China's territorial waters are still the backyard of the Western powers, and if there is really a mistake, with the Manchu Qingshui Division and these dozen or so Western merchant ships, they can't run away at all.

"It's okay, this king will leave by land, who will escort the sea supplies?" Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

"The last general is willing to go!" Wang Jian said loudly.

"The last will go!" Liu Mingchuan also shouted loudly, his face full of loyalty in the face of death.

Hong Tiangui didn't react! Everyone else couldn't figure it out, how could Liu Mingchuan be more concerned than them, if outsiders came to see him as if he Liu Mingchuan was the general of the Heavenly Kingdom, they were not as good as them.

Thinking of this, the commanders of the divisions of the Wehrmacht asked for their lives.

"Okay, this sea operation is dangerous, but it is also very operational, and it needs a cautious commander, Xie Zhihai, you will send a thousand soldiers who are proficient in water from the Third Division of the Second Army to disperse on each ship, and escort the whole ship to Tianjing. Liu Mingchuan, you serve as Xie Zhihai's deputy, you don't need to say more about what you do, right? Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

Liu Mingchuan's value lies in his identity with the Huai Army, and on the battlefield in which the Huai Army participated, he used this as a sharp sword well. But compared to fighting with the Huai army, the machinery, equipment, materials, and workers on this ship are more important.

Liu Mingchuan nodded, although he was not the main general, it could be regarded as reflecting Hong Tiangui's trust.

Although Xie Zhihai was ordered by Hong Tiangui, he did not have the slightest excitement in his heart. It is not easy, it can be said that it is extremely difficult to get out of the sea in the hands of the enemy.

Hong Tiangui loaded all the materials seized from Shanghai onto the ship, especially the large and bulky machines, and concentrated a large number of people to disassemble them and send them to the ship, in order to ensure that these machines and equipment could be reassembled, those shouting foreign engineers were rudely tied to the ship by the Wehrmacht and taken away.

How much supplies are there in Shanghai? Before entering Shanghai, Hong Tiangui didn't know, no one could say it, but everyone knew that Shanghai was extremely rich, especially in the past two years, rich businessmen from all over the south of the Yangtze River have spent huge sums of money to open up their own commercial bases in the concession, accumulating a large number of goods.

Although Hong Tiangui coveted these things, he didn't dare to collect them all violently. Even if he is now pretending to be a Qing army, the paper will not be able to contain the fire. For businessmen, Hong Tiangui is still very useful, and he doesn't even mind using this opportunity to give them some benefits.

There were more than 30 wooden warships in the Manchu Qingshui Division, 20 foreign merchant ships that followed it, and merchant ships that docked at the Shanghai docks and belonged to the major foreign chambers of commerce, and there were 100 large ships alone, plus the merchant ships of the small chambers of commerce, and only all the ships stranded in Shanghai for various reasons could sail at sea were requisitioned.

In order to avoid possible troubles in the future, Hong Tiangui set a standard for expropriation, and all things belonging to Manchu officials and nobles were confiscated, and those who resisted were killed. As for the real estate such as factories and factories, Hong Tiangui ordered that the destruction was prohibited, and all the things that were levied were left with IOUs, which were nominally leased. Shanghai is a hen that lays golden eggs, and if the nest is destroyed, there will be no golden eggs to covet. For the wealthy businessmen in various places, it is mainly to appease, and even let them eat some "stolen goods" that the Wehrmacht cannot take away and digest at extremely low prices, of course, these things are mostly all kinds of goods, and the war materials will be destroyed even if Hong Tiangui can't eat them.

As for the seized gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all the sealed directly with most of the Wehrmacht's actions, all the weapons and ammunition were equipped into the hands of the soldiers, under this monstrous wealth, 30,000 soldiers had a Western rifle, and the officers above two Sima were basically equipped with short guns, and in terms of equipment alone, the Wehrmacht was no worse than the British and French armies of the First Army, the Second Division, and the Third Division, and the First Division, the Fourth Division, and the Fifth Division of the Second Army, all of which were equipped with unified British and French equipment.

The 4th and 5th Divisions of the 1st Army, and the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the Second Army are also equipped with weapons that are not inferior to those of the Huai Army.

There was a kind of excitement that permeated the whole army online.

For this excitement, Hong Tiangui not only did not suppress it, but also consciously guided it. For the current Wehrmacht, there is only a lack of a tough battle to baptize.

Hong Tiangui couldn't imagine that the tough battle he wanted would come so quickly and menacingly.
