Chapter 432: Unnecessary
The relationship between the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom and the Russian Tsar took an abrupt turn. Nor did it cause undue international concern. Everyone feels that this is the result of the confrontation and balance of military strength between the two countries. No one can defeat anyone. I'm not sure. The less courageous Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom was only compromised and retreated.
Soon. The wind is calm and the waves are calm. It's all in the past.
But. Luo Yang immediately set off a big storm: "The Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom is about to reform the management of the customs, so as to expand the fiscal revenue and make up for the huge deficit."
Luo Yang procured a large number of warships under the pretext of Zhengfǔ. and the construction of industrialization. The country's finances are very tight. So. I want to improve my financial ability. Expand taxation. He set his sights on the management of customs. He demanded. Dismissal of all UK Customs staff. Persons from France or other countries. He sent a foreign 'diploma' to the British minister to make a request. Administrative privileges must be returned. Because. He was skeptical. A large number of British customs officers. In embezzling China's customs revenues.
The British minister retorted. But. The Chinese government took decisive action. Send heavy troops. Snatch all the customs directly. Hold all the British customs officers in custody. Conduct interrogations.
The British minister protested. Demand that the Chinese government take back the Cheng Order. was decisively rejected by Luo Yang.
"Why is this happening?"
"Not why. They are corrupt and corrupt. A large number of whales swallow up the property of our country. So. In accordance with the laws of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom. It has to be dealt with."
"But. . . They were British subjects. extraterritoriality." Pashali was furious.
"No. They were no ordinary British subjects. Rather, it is a political fǔ official in China. Right now. Ben Wang mainly pursued their criminal acts as Chinese officials. If the accountability is completed. and return it to your country." Luo Yang smiled.
Rejected the British minister's intercession. Luo Yang dispatched personnel. Specialized 'door' to censor the British. There are about four hundred customs officers. Nearly four hundred of them were held by the British. It can be said that . The customs processing capacity of the British is still there. It has also made a lot of contributions to China's politics. But. A foreigner controls another country's customs. It's terrible. It's so arrogant.
Luo Yang wants to create a pretext for war against Britain. You have to look for something to talk about from these people. He instructed the interrogators. Carefully check all sealed customs records. Demand that the facts of the British's violations and crimes be unearthed.
The interrogation was long. None of the questions were tried. Officials in China review the bills of accounts for those imports and exports. Nothing can actually be found. Whatever you do, you make a fake account. Things have changed. Who else knows. No one has reported it.
"King Rui. Not really. There is no such problem. The accounts are very clean." Interrogation officer reports.
"Oh well. The accounts are clean. But. Are the people clean?" Luo Yang sneered.
"King Rui means."
"Use of punishment. They don't say yes, do they? Then pry their mouths open." Luo Yang indicated.
"King Rui. It's British. In case the punishment is moved. will give rise to international disputes." The interrogating officers were worried.
"Okay. This king is going to check it out for himself." After saying that. Luo Yang personally went to the interrogation room. Right now. All British customs officers. All from the General Department of Taxation to the lowest level of personnel. are all imprisoned. Luo Yang led a large number of personnel to appear. was seen by these people: "King Rui. Mr. Archon. Help me. We have been wronged."
Brit from looks. Not bad indeed. Hundreds of old guys, lads. They all looked at Luo Yang pitifully. Hopefully he'll be able to free himself too.
"King Rui. Cough. Chinese. You must release us. Otherwise. The fleet of the British Empire will come in a mighty way. Punish you."
"yes.. Chinese. You're hot-headed. Dare to fight our idea."
There were also several British officials. Roaring violently.
Luo Yang passed: "What are you talking about. We are afraid of the British."
"Our British Empire is the most powerful in the world. If you guys are looking for something that isn't. That's a search for death. The army of the British Empire. It's going to tear you to pieces."
"Yes, yes, yes. The army of our British Empire. I've beaten you twice. Mr. Don't you know how our army captured the city of Beijing. Hahahaha."
There are a few more Brits. Threaten with impunity.
All the British. are tied hands behind the back. That's it. They're still 'quite arrogant'. Luo Yang stepped forward. I took a hard look at it. I saw that they raised their heads higher.
"I'm the next Olympian." Luo Yang did not hesitate to stretch out his big slap. A thud landed on one of the guys' faces. Then. One more. The third. Open the bow left and right. It made the guy's face red and swollen in an instant.
"You. . . You. You hit people." The guy didn't hesitate until he was there for a long time. Crying: "You wait. The army of our British Empire. I'm going to get revenge."
"Revenge your mother's eggs." Luo Yang scolded. Patience with the British colonialists for so long. He's tired of it for a long time. Fly up the right foot. Kick in the air. This guy will be stepped on backwards like flying. Bang. Crashed into the wall. 'Unconscious' past.
The other hard kung fu officials were stunned. Don't dare to talk nonsense anymore .
"But. . . Rui Wang. We were so wronged. We absolutely didn't do anything. We have not been corrupt or bribed~." Several British customs officers argued anxiously.
Of course not. Don't say that the British take care of the customs for the Chinese. Even if the Chinese manage it themselves, what can they do. Since the founding of the country. How many customs officers. Because of corruption and bribery. A nest of snakes and rats. There is a big case of 'smuggling' billions of dollars.
"Take care of it. This king is magnanimous. Otherwise. This king will not forgive." Luo Yang glared and ordered.
"Not really. Lord Rui." The British shouted together.
"Nothing." Luo Yang said strangely: "It must have meaning."
Be reasonable or something. The British refused to answer. Thereupon. Luo Yang personally supervised. Execution of the British. He also specially "doored" to find a few ruthless "sex" from the former Qing Dynasty's ya' "door" officials and transferred them for interrogation. These seizures were a joke that the supreme consul of the country wanted to see the British. That 'excited' moved. Ten tortures using the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Hundreds of British Customs officers were served in a real way.
"I said. I say. I'm corrupt."
"Uncle. Uncle. Spare us. I say. I've taken bribes."
Tortured. No. In fact, he only received a few small punishments. The ten major Manchu tortures have not yet been used. The British cried and shouted that their mother had wilted. They recounted many shocking crimes.
Of course. Every British. They will all be punished. Don't say you're smart. Come up and admit it. That doesn't work either. There are certainly others that have not been acknowledged. Do you want to 'muddle' and 'mix' through the test?
"Hit. Keep calling me. Man is a bitter worm. I don't believe that the British customs officials are so corrupt." Luo Yang said coldly.
