"I have invited the Admiral of the Navy Master to come out and see him!" Liu Mingchuan spoke loudly.

There was a commotion from above the sailors, and soon a voice came from the boat.

"But Brother Mingchuan?"

"It is under this that the coalition forces have repelled the bandit Li Xiucheng's troops, and the danger of Shanghai has been lifted, and the lord specially ordered us to hold a water banquet at the dock to thank the sailors for their help to the Huai army." Liu Mingchuan said loudly.

After the silence on the boat, someone lowered the grille, and then a man dressed in the Manchu four-grade official palace stepped off the boat surrounded by a group of people.

"Lord Li is polite, it is also the responsibility of our Jiangnan Navy Division to exterminate the bandits." Admiral Man Shen said with a smile.

"Lord Man, please, my Lord Li has already led his troops to pursue Li Xiucheng, and he has been specially appointed to entertain the adults with his heart, and we have received funding from the Foreign Chamber of Commerce, and we have prepared a wine banquet that is enough for the entire Brother Shui, and I also ask my lord to let the Brother Shui get off the boat to enjoy."

"This ......" Man Shen hesitated a little, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of something wrong.

"Rest assured, this is the city of Shanghai, the bandits have been repulsed, the war will not affect Shanghai, the adults for the Huai army to work hard, do not hesitate to brave the night of sea navigation, this is the greatest support for our Huai army, Lord Li is very moved, he asked me to tell the adults, this time to protect the city of Shanghai, to repel the bandits to attack the city, the adults have made great contributions, Lord Li wants to take credit for the Manchurian people." Liu Mingchuan said with a smile.

Man Shen was overjoyed, their sailors were defeated in the battle with Britain and France, but in the face of the Taiping army's sailors always had an advantage, it can be said that Li Hongzhang dared to rely on weak troops and Li Xiucheng to confront the city of Shanghai, relying on the continuous support of the sailors, of course he had reason to believe Liu Mingchuan's words, as long as the chapter was sent to Beijing, he was afraid that his own wear would have to be replaced with a bigger one.

"Lord Li is polite, thank Huaijun for your hospitality." After speaking, Man Shen ordered each boat to leave the necessary guards, and all the others got off the boat to participate in the flowing water feast.

On the other side of the wharf, foreign merchant ships also docked one after another, and the Jianghuai children transported on the ship disembarked one after another under the command of Liu Mingchuan's "subordinates" and entered the camp established in Shanghai, but the materials on the ship were not unloaded.

Because of the end of the war, everyone thought that they would not need these war materials for the time being, so no one was in a hurry to unload the ship, and the sailors and guards on the foreigner ships were also attracted by the bustle on the shore, and they got off the ship to ask for a glass of water and wine.

The entire marina is a sea of joy.

But no one noticed, and every ship that docked had some fresh faces boarded for various reasons.

Half an hour later. With a bang, the flagship of the Jiangnan Navy Division of the Qing Dynasty suddenly moved below, and actually went off the shore under the stunned eyes of everyone, and then the warships that searched and searched left the shore and entered the depths of the port.

"What's going on? Who would dare to move a warship? Manshen, who was sleepy-eyed and drunk, changed his expression and roared angrily.

"Oh no, someone on our boat dived!" The foreigners on the shore roared, they did not expect that not only did the warships of the Manchurian Masters suddenly leave the shore, but even their merchant ships began to sail towards the depths of the harbor.

"Someone, someone took control of our ship?" Someone yelled in horror.

Soon, dense "Huai troops" rushed out from all directions. Loaded guns pointed at everyone.

"Liu Mingchuan, what are you going to do?" Admiral Man was shocked and drunk.

"Lord Man, I'm sorry, Lord Li has a life, please stay in Tianjing City for the time being, this water division will be temporarily taken over by our Huai Army!" Liu Mingchuan stepped forward and said coldly.

"Bold, you're rebelling?"

"Hehe, I don't know if I rebel or not, this is just our Lord Li's order, and the general will just obey the order." Liu Mingchuan waved his hand, and the soldiers of the "Huai Army" immediately rushed up fiercely, tied up Man Shen Wuhuhua, and directly stabbed those who resisted the naval soldiers.

The savagery of the "Huai Army" frightened all the sailor soldiers, who usually nestled in the boat, where had they seen such a posture.

"What are you going to do? You have no right to seize our ship, we are merchant ships, and we are here to help you Daishimizu. "Some of the foreigners shouted that this was the captain of a merchant ship, and it was this person who was the first to shout that someone was in control of the warship.

Liu Mingchuan turned to look at Hong Tiangui, who was being protected by layers, and asked how to deal with these foreigners.

"Grab it, divide it." Hong Tiangui also had a headache, if according to the current situation, killing them is undoubtedly the simplest, but Hong Tiangui thought about it and gave up, he wanted to prepare a big gift for Li Hongzhang, one of the last humerus ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty I don't know if it can develop according to the original trajectory.

After that, Liu Mingchuan gathered all the sailors together, and these sailor soldiers who had just been full of wine and food became prisoners in the blink of an eye, and the sudden change of identity made them still unbelievable.

"This will be Liu Mingchuan, the deputy general under the command of Lord Li Hongzhang of the Huai Army, Lord Li was ordered to guard the city of Shanghai, at this time the army and the bandits are in full swing, and we need to immediately transport a batch of emergency supplies to go, are you willing to carry out this mission for the Qing Dynasty?"

No one answered, and the whole scene was silent.

Liu Mingchuan was a little helpless, but he didn't give up.

"For the completion of this mission, Master Li will be rewarded, twenty taels of silver for each soldier and thirty taels for the officer!"

There will be brave men under the great reward.

Liu Mingchuan's words surprised the sailor soldiers.

Although they were the most powerful sailors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the soldiers' salaries were not high, and they followed the rotten habits within the entire Qing army. Nowadays, most of the sailors have their own livelihoods, and the living can never be suffocated to death by urine, which is also a problem with the loyalty of the sailors to the Jiangnan Navy, and it is naturally easy to be moved by wealth.

"My lord, we are willing to obey your orders!"

If there is a first person to speak, there is a second person, and soon most people agreed.

There are still dozens of people who did not agree, most of them are officers, and thirty taels of silver is a huge amount of money for ordinary soldiers, but for them, it is really nothing. And the arrest of the Admiral of the Navy made them seem to smell something one by one, and naturally wanted to wait and see.

Hong Tiangui made a color to Sun Libin beside him. Sun Libin understood and explained a few words to the people around him.

Soon, these hesitant people were surrounded by a group of fierce and vicious people.

"What are you going to do? I am the pipe band of the Qing Dynasty, and you are guilty of the following crimes. A sailor officer shouted.

The sound of steel knives entering the flesh was accompanied by screams, and dozens of officers of the Great Clear Water Division were slashed and killed.

Some people shouted in fright, some people collapsed to the ground in fright, and they couldn't bear to vomit.
