Chapter 259: Anglo-French Coalition

(1st Update)

Tang Qianming was also entrusted by the command of the Jiangfang Fleet, and when he met with the governor to report the emergency military situation, how could he know that the governor was sick and could not see people, how could this be good? He was already sweating profusely in the reception room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Master Tang, Dashuai, please come over."

When Tang Qianming heard this, he didn't have time to respond, so he climbed upstairs in three steps and two steps, and was suddenly stopped by Zhang Xiaoguang when he was at the door.

"Master Tang, Da Shuai has lung disease, and I'm afraid of the risk of infection, so you might as well bring this." Zhang Xiaoguang handed him a mask, which Ye Kai specially ordered.

"What are you afraid of! It doesn't matter! Tang Qianming glanced at it, waved his big hand, and entered the door directly.

After a few days of conditioning, Ye Kai's pneumonia has improved greatly, although he still coughs from time to time, but the situation of soreness and fatigue has improved greatly, and there is no problem in getting out of bed and walking on his stomach, as long as there is no close contact, the risk of infection is actually very low.

Tang Qianming just broke in, Ye Kai was still a little surprised, but he couldn't care about so much at the moment.

"What's wrong with Zhuxin?"

"Good Governor!" Tang Qianming took a breath, and then said anxiously: "The British and French fleets are about to arrive in Shanghai!" ”

Tang Qianming was panting, but Ye Kai seemed very calm, he was already prepared in his heart.

"Zhuxin, you say slowly, what is the current situation?"

Tang Qianming said: "This morning, the patrol ship of the Jiangfang fleet reported that a large number of fleets are cruising in the East China Sea, with the flags of the British and the French, and they are currently about 130 miles away from Shanghai. ”

Ye Kai took out the map and carefully compared the location on it.

"Is this it?"

"Probably so"

"Okay, I got it."

Tang Qianming didn't understand, how could the Governor be so calm with such earth-shattering news, the British and French forces were approaching Shanghai, this was obviously a demonstration, if this group of warships landed in Shanghai, it would be no less than a serious incident of aggression, and in this case, at least it should be reported to the central authorities.

However, Ye Kai has his plans.

"Liangdu, what shall we do?"

"Which is the largest warship in Shanghai?" Ye Kai asked.

"The ships of the Jiangfang Fleet are generally small in tonnage, and they belong to inland river warships, and the largest is the Haiqi cruiser."

The cruiser Haiqi, the flagship of the Beiyang Fleet, arrived in Shanghai purely by chance, when Edward VII of England died of illness, and the Haiqi was about to stop for supplies and go to England to attend the coronation of the new King George V.

Ye Kai said to Tang Qianming: "Inform the captain of the Haiqi ship that the governor will board the ship in person!" ”

"I'm afraid..."Tang Qianming hesitated a little, "Liangdu, the Haiqi is the flagship ship of the Beiyang Fleet, and this time the Admiralty has selected it to go to the United Kingdom to celebrate..."

"Yingyi is calling, what are you going to celebrate!" Ye Kai said in a low voice, and Tang Qianming immediately stood up straight.

"You go with the guards of the Governor, and those who do not obey will be arrested." Ye Kai gave a dead order, "The rest of the ships of the Jiangfang fleet, no matter how big or small, follow the Governor on the ship, and let's go meet those Europa people for a while." ”

"Yes!"

Tang Qianming saluted a military salute with a standard standard, and the governor opened his mouth to a hero, closed his mouth to a europa, and listened to the real fucking relief.

After Tang Qianming left, Ye Kai called Zhang Xiaoguang.

"Xiaoguang, inform the reporters in Shanghai that the Governor is going to hold a press conference, and the venue will be at the Shanghai wharf."

"Yes!"

After Zhang Xiaoguang finished speaking, he looked at Ye Kai with a worried look, "The handsome body..."

Ye Kai jumped out of bed and said, "No problem, it's almost all right." ”

.....

The news of the British and French fleets approaching Shanghai spread far and wide, causing a lot of panic among the citizens, whether this was the beginning of a major war, no one knows, after all, Shanghai has not fought for decades, the last time can be traced back to 1856 during the Second Opium War, the British and French forces also pretended to pass Shanghai, and then went north to land in Tianjin.

Ye Kai's press conference was more like a declaration of expedition.

Behind him is the huge hull of the Haiqi ship, this fast cruiser with a full load displacement of 4300 tons, acting as an excellent background board, there was no violent conflict in the requisition of the Haiqi, 450 crew members hated the same enemy, under the leadership of the captain Cheng Biguang, lined up in turn and stood behind Ye Kai, like two huge wings.

In front of Ye Kai, there are still countless reporters and media.

The people on the wharf gathered more and more, and the black pressure was encircled, and the military and police were trying their best to maintain order, but they could not stop a large number of passionate people from pouring in.

"I am disappointed, but even more angry, this is the ravages of civilization by barbarism, the intrusion into the territorial waters of a sovereign state, this is an unbearable shame." Speaking of Xing, Ye Kai began to cough violently.

"Nothing can resist the determination of the Chinese people to defend their country! There is an old Chinese saying that when a friend comes, there is good wine, and if the jackal comes, welcome its own shotgun. ”

Yu Si Wannian, the Great Empire of Yadong! The mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the rivers are spreading the waves of civilization!

"The only thing worth fearing is the fear itself, remember that starting with Qin Shi Huang, the Chinese have won wars for two thousand years!" Ye Kai roared with a pale face.

Four hundred trillion people are gods, and the land is big and the products are rich!

"In the past 50 years, China has been covered with a layer of dust, and what we have to do is to wipe it clean in this generation!"

Raise my Yellow Dragon Flag!

Sing the Song of My Empire!

"Woo~" More than a dozen warships anchored in unison, and the sound of the boiler was heavy and poignant, mixed with the cheers of the citizens, resounding throughout the Shanghai dock.

The sky is high and the sea is surging.

Imperial Firmament Protection!

On the surface of the East China Sea, seventeen British and French warships lined up in two columns to cruise, and the first encounter between the fleets of the two countries wiped out a little smell of gunpowder, and in the distant scope of the Haiqi ship, the Gallic Chicken and John Bull, sprayed with thick smoke, as if showing off their might, and approached Ye Kai's ship at full speed.
