Stylin's troops, scurrying through the darkness. If you say that you are walking quickly, I am afraid that it can only correspond to two feet, or the measured road, but unfortunately the distance is not so long. I don't know if it was deliberate, or if I was really frightened, a few specially arranged Qing army guides led them to collide in the east and west, as if the water network was everywhere, knocking everyone's heads unconscious. The only thing that kept them clear was the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing that were coming up from behind.
The formation of the royal sailors is becoming more and more varied, just like the noodles in Lin Haifeng's hands, and the heavenly army that is being surrounded and chased up one by one slowly sucks it into the stomach and becomes a delicacy.
Shi Tailin's battleship from Wusongkou, and the 4,000 sailors who were fully manned entered Jiading through Baoshan, and when they left Jiading again, half of the men and horses were lost, and in order to be lightly armed, all the cannons were left to the Qing army in the city. Now, he is about to arrive in Longhua, and his road has come to an end. Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to board the battleship again, so that he could complete his three-day tour around Shanghai.
Now it was no longer from behind, but the sound of killing and gunfire everywhere.
Lin Haifeng was busy all night, thinking about the setting and development of New Shanghai, as well as the overall strategy of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the future. As soon as the day dawned, the news that Stellin's soldiers and horses had been wiped out came, and he did not have too much joy, which was reasonable. He sent people to Jiading to recruit Huang Zaixing, and ordered Zeng Shuiyuan's troops to continue to besiege and monitor the Qing army in Jiading, and seize the time to rest on the spot while carrying out political offensive and psychological attacks.
According to his order, most of the troops under Liu Lichuan in Shanghai, with Li Xianchi as the commander, began to camp out of the city, threatened Baoshan, and replaced Chen Yucheng's teaching brigade. Except for one battalion and a special service company that remained in the former concession and was responsible for the necessary garrison duties, the main force of the brigade was instructed to devote himself to the battle of clearing the surrounding areas of Shanghai, and he wanted to use this knife to deal with the scattered local armed forces scattered by the Manchus and Qing Dynasty, so as to obtain a stable environment as much as possible. Now, the Yangtze River moat has been firmly controlled in the hands of the Heavenly Army Naval Division, the Qing army in Jiading and Baoshan has really become a lonely army, and it is only a matter of time before it is solved, the key is not to be too tired of the army, there is still a Hangzhou in the south that has not been gnawed down.
After dealing with this qiē, he is going to start sending "dates" to each family. He first came to the Shanghai consulate of the former United States in Manchuria.
Marshali also apparently did not look well rested. Except for the soldiers who have been captured, he has no troops who need to surrender to the Taiping army, and at this point, he is still a little complacent anyway, this "business" has been lost, but fortunately, it has not been lost like Ali Guo. In other words, there is no more damage to the face of the government. However, the concession, oh, can no longer be called the concession now, people don't recognize this account, so they can only say here. But the expatriates here have really lost a lot, two-thirds of their property will be confiscated, and there is no need for foreign firms to hide it, he himself estimates that it is not far from ten, my God, that is tens of millions of wealth! What foreign company wouldn't cry to yourself.
Consulates protect the interests of the diaspora, and now they can only stare dryly. Damn, they're all looking for me, what's the use of looking for me, who called our consulate, and I, the minister, were all sent to the Qing Dynasty. That's what he thought about in the end, and he was confused for a moment.
When he heard that the fierce prince came to the door again, Marshali couldn't tell what kind of psychological state he was. This guy is too powerful, too ruthless, too domineering, like what? Oh, by the way, like their Chinese legendary "King Yan", that is, the devil in our Western legends. When he stumbled unconsciously on the stairs and almost broke his foot and neck, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, grinned, and smiled helplessly. It seems that he is also frightened.
"Hello, Mr. Marshali, my presence will not cause you any unpleasantness, will it?" Lin Haifeng stood in the living room, admiring several paintings hanging on the wall. When he saw Marshali come in, he quickly turned around and threw his hand at him, with a warm smile on his face.
Marshali was stunned, he didn't expect this prince to be able to speak fluent English.
"Why, it's not welcome, is it?" Lin Haifeng looked at Marshali with a puzzled expression and understood what he was thinking.
"Oh, no, no, how could it be." Marshali grinned and bowed slightly, "It's an honor for you to be here. You may be seated, please be seated, and I will entertain you with the finest coffee. While he hurriedly instructed the servants of the consulate to do it, he gave up his seat very politely, but he muttered in his heart. That bastard Wall actually missed such important information, no wonder he would see God so happily.
"Then I'll thank you in advance." Lin Haifeng sat down with a smile, turned his head and pointed to the three people who came with him, and introduced, "Liu Xianghe, my Shangshu official, Zhou Xiuying, the former commander of the women's battalion of the Shanghai Heavenly Army, Mr. may have heard of it a long time ago." She will now be the head of the expatriate district. The other one is the interpreter we hired, Mr. Mi. ”
"Yes, I have long heard of General Zhou's contempt, the legendary General Zhou is an independent bridgehead, a heroine who shocked hundreds of Qing Dynasty soldiers, but I didn't expect to be so young and beautiful." Mashali laughed lightly.
"Sir will not be very pleased with what we have done, but as belligerents on the battlefield, any mercy to our opponents is a disservice to our own countrymen, and you should understand that. I'm here today just to hear what Mr. really thinks, so I might as well say them all. After all, we are in the same world, and sooner or later we will sit together, just like we do now. What do you say? Lin Haifeng went straight to the point and got to the point.
"This ......" Marshali was obviously not fully prepared, he thought for a moment, "from the perspective of His Excellency the Prince, you may be right. However, using diplomats and civilians as hostages is not always a military man's behavior, and it can damage the prestige of your military. Furthermore, your government will have to confiscate the property of the expatriate, which will hurt the friendship that may exist between the two countries in the future. Of course, as you say, the contemptible person does not have the status of a diplomat in front of you, and therefore has no right to protest against you. The contemptible man is just grieving for his fellow human beings as a citizen of the United States. Maybe you don't like to hear the contemptible words. ”
"Hehe, you have the right to have your opinion." Lin Haifeng smiled, "Our nation is a nation with many disasters and difficulties, from the Mengyuan to the Manchu Qing, many of our national essences have been suppressed and trampled. Do you imagine that your country will allow someone else's trampling? You will not be unaware of the atrocities committed by the British army on our soil and against our compatriots, and you will not be unaware of how those so-called treaties came about. The opium trade is a commodity that is strictly forbidden to be sold in the territory of various countries, but merchants from all countries dump it here, ignoring others in order to make huge profits. In comparison, our approach is not excessive. At least it shows that my subordinates have the kind of blood that a nation should have. You have also seen with your own eyes that we treat women and children well in any situation, and this is something that is difficult for others to do. This world is ours, and no one has the right to sell it. ”
Marshali was noncommittal. The truth is in the hands of the hard-fisted side, and he just understands it. Now, the opponent's fist is hard, and what he says is naturally reasonable. However, he is a diplomat after all, and he has to consider that in the future, as the other party said just now, they are all in the same world, and no one will ignore anyone forever. The interests of the country and, of course, his own destiny are at stake.
