At this moment, Chen Yucheng had already preemptively completed the first personal horizontal bunker, and then transitioned to the squatting bunker.

Lin Haifeng clapped his hands and smiled happily, "Not bad, not bad, that's it, Chen Tingxiang, you can't accept it." ”

Yes good. Although Bourblon could not understand the usefulness of their guards doing this kind of training that seemed to be "useless", he only imagined how powerful this army would be on the battlefield in the future from the rare intimate relationship between the prince and the brigade commander, and between the brigade commander and the company commander in this special army.

Lin Haifeng made a "please" gesture to Burbullon, and the group came to the shooting training ground.

Tan Tiyuan, the chief of staff, who was organizing the training, let out a "salute!" Then he trotted in front of Lin Haifeng, his feet together, "Report to His Royal Highness King An, the second battalion of the teaching brigade is conducting shooting drills, please instruct!" ”

"Keep practicing!" Lin Haifeng smiled and looked at Burbulon beside him, and pointed at Tan Tiyuan, Chen Yucheng, and Tan Shaoguang, "These officers with our troops will not only command the battle, but they are also all sharpshooters. As he spoke, he stared at Tan Tiyuan, "I heard that you can knock out the teacup that everyone is wearing in fifty steps, but is there such a thing?" It can't be a rumor, right? ”

Tan Tiyuan looked at Chen Yucheng and then at King An, and smiled embarrassedly, "It's not a rumor, but our brigade commander's marksmanship is better than mine, and he can shoot birds in the sky without missing a shot." ”

"You will be polite, he is the brigade commander, and his marksmanship is not good, so the king would have removed him from his post a long time ago." Lin Haifeng glanced at Chen Yucheng, whose face was slightly red, and his heart was very comfortable. Then, he nodded to Tan Tiyuan, "The cowhide is not blown, and the train is not pushed, how about showing it to the guests?" ”

"This" Tan Tiyuan looked at King An and the others behind him, and seemed to be a little hesitant. Chen Yucheng stabbed him, turned around and ordered the soldiers who were training to rest for a while, and then ran to the wooden target in front of him. He bent down to pick up a fist-sized clod of dirt, placed it on his head, and raised his thumb at it.

Lin Haifeng turned his head to look at the people behind him, and everyone's eyes were subconsciously focused on the gun that Tan Tiyuan slowly drew at this time. Liu Xianghe, the only woman among the entourage, her face was already like a blank piece of paper, why was His Highness so cruel? Is this kind of game also playable?

Burblon is also close to Yoo Xianghe's idea. They want to talk about so-called democracy and human rights, which is even more contrary to God's mercy.

"Let's get started." Lin Haifeng gave the order with ease.

With his words, Tan Tiyuan's right hand was raised, and the revolver snapped with a crisp sound. After a second or two of silence, the soldiers on either side erupted in applause.

Lin Haifeng looked at Bourblon and smiled slightly, "The people need equality and fraternity, but the duty of a soldier is to learn to dedicate himself first." He looked up and down at Chen Yucheng, who had just run back, gently dusted the dirt off his body, nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to the equestrian training ground next to him, "I thought that you would be the target yourself." Let's go, take us to see your knights. ”

Before leaving the barracks of the Teaching Brigade, Bourblon heard loud, passionate singing behind him. As the song sounded, he noticed that King An beside him suddenly stopped, stood upright, and his face became very solemn.

"His Royal Highness King An, what song is this?" He asked softly.

"This is our Marseillaise." Lin Haifeng began to sing softly in English, "Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall! The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time, and everyone is forced to let out the last roar. Get up! Get up! Get up! We are all united, braving the enemy's artillery fire, and marching! Braving enemy fire, forward"

Bourblon had a completely new understanding of the nascent regime of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was completely different from Wen Han. It is not the product of a so-called gathering of ignorant people, but a large number of thoughtful and literate elites are gathered here from top to bottom. They possess even more advanced technology than the nations of the West, and a civilized, courageous, and loyal army to the government. Their aim was to restore their splendid culture, which had been formed over thousands of years, and to eliminate the backward and ignorant barbarian dynasty that had been riding on the head of their huge nation.

In his last conversation before leaving, he focused on the doctrine that had seemed to both sides to avoid for the past few days. He wanted to find out the nascent regime's policy toward Catholics in his country, as well as their almost nondescript doctrine of worship of God.

"We Chinese are a nation that is good at imagination," Lin Haifeng pointed to the embroidered dragon pattern on his chest, and laughed, "We like dragons, so you see our dragons are very delicate and vivid." Dragons can't be like this in the eyes of the people of your kingdom, right? ”

Bourblon nodded, smiling slightly, he didn't understand what connection this dragon would have to do with his question.

Lin Haifeng motioned to everyone present to eat tea and snacks casually, and then continued, "So, the same dragon is as beautiful as it is now in our country. We are also good at depicting heavenly gods, Buddhism is something that we imported from India, but we are also not confined to its form, it is beautified better and fuller. As for God, it is the same, our heavenly king likes God, but this god is not your god, maybe some places will be similar, the God depicted by our heavenly king is more of a god, the immortal imagined by us Chinese. However, although the purpose of equality and fraternity is the same, we imagine more of the unity of the world. Every new thing will have a process of development and perfection. In the process, errors are likely to occur and need to be corrected continuously. Therefore, no one else should come and ask what our God is. It is the best belief in God to enable more people to enjoy the happiness of human life and the broad mutual love between people. ”

He paused for a moment and looked at Burblon and his attaché, "You are about to leave Tianjing, and this king can solemnly declare on behalf of the Celestial Empire that the Celestial Empire government will not recognize any unequal treaty signed between all the great powers and the Manchu government. I think all gentlemen can understand this. Not to mention that they are all God's people, that is, brothers, personal furniture should be clearly distinguished, and you can take it wherever you want. The situation of our Celestial Empire, all gentlemen have seen with your own eyes, and the timetable for the overthrow of the Manchus and when they will be overthrown is in our hands, and it will not be shifted by the will of any person who tries to interfere. The government of the Celestial Empire hopes to trade with any country on an equal footing, communicate with each other, and develop together. Of course, you don't have to worry, the government of the Celestial Empire will be kind to people from all over the world who come to China, whether you are Catholic, Christian, Judaic, or Islamic, as long as you are not an enemy of us, anyone in this world will be taken care of like a friend of the people of the Celestial Empire. ”

Bourblon did not speak, and he was not surprised that the other party did not recognize the treaty signed with the Manchus, and would be surprised if the other party could accept it. However, he was still concerned with the interests of the French Empire. Supporting the Manchus is obviously a dead end, once the Tianjing regime gains power, the interests of the empire will be wiped out, will neutrality be good? Not necessarily, you may not be able to get a good piece of the soup at that time.

"May I ask Your Royal Highness King An, what exactly do you mean by equal trade?" Bourblon wanted to see how wide the road would be.

"It's very simple," Lin Haifeng waved his hand, "The Celestial Empire has now allowed Hankou, Jiujiang, Zhenjiang and other places to open ports for trade. We welcome friends from all over the world. The Celestial Empire will designate a location and arrange a business and living environment for everyone, and the premise is that everyone must abide by the laws of the Celestial Empire. ”

He paused deliberately, "France is a great country with a freedom-loving, peace-loving people. We are willing to deal with such a people on an equal footing and for mutual benefit and without interference in each other's internal affairs. If your government agrees, our Celestial Empire can allow your country to set up a commercial office and other institutions in Tianjing to open up trade between the two governments. As far as I know, your country has been waging the Seventh Russo-Turkish War on the Crimean Peninsula against Russia since last month, together with Britain and the Ottoman Empire. This war will cost you three years. Wars always come at the cost of the happiness of the people and the economy of the country"
