Wall, who thinks he is noble in front of the Chinese, is still the same vagabond in the eyes of the ministers and consuls, and he has no power to speak without the words of adults.

"Your Excellency," as soon as he heard Ali Guo's inquiry, Wall quickly stood up and accompanied him with a smiling face, "I have paid attention to my journey from Qingpu to Songjiang this time. There are many rebels in Qingpu, and it seems likely that the rebels want to concentrate their forces and thus open up the connection with Shanghai......"

"Please describe in detail what you have seen and heard, and do not mix your own speculations in it." Stellin smiled and reminded Wall gentlemanly.

"Yes...... Yes, this ......" a hint of blush appeared on Wall's pale face, "the high ground between Qingpu and Songjiang has been controlled by the rebels, and the city of Songjiang is ......" He recounted what he had seen and heard in Songjiang from beginning to end.

"You're saying they gave you permission to browse the whole of Songjiang?" Marshali looked at Wall in disbelief, then turned to look at Fang Jingbo again.

"Yes, if it weren't for the time, we could have taken a look at any place in Songjiang." Fang Jingbo nodded, "It's quiet there, the citizens live a normal life, it seems that they are very popular with the citizens." ”

"A clique that wants to usurp supreme power is like this in the beginning, in their words, called buying people's hearts." Ali Guo put down the cigar in his hand disapprovingly and stood up, "Gentlemen, you have all heard the rebels' answers, and they don't even admit anything in black and white, this is a completely scoundrel act. Once this Tianjing government has the entire power, it will be a great disaster for the great powers, and this is also something we cannot tolerate.

"To fight, we must not only stop the momentum of the rebels, but also clean up Shanghai in one go." Marshali squeezed the cigar in the ashtray and extinguished, "I don't believe there's anything else stopping us!" ”

"Gentlemen, if the Tianjing government can conduct normal trade with us, it will be a lot of money, and it is far from being able to do it by the Beijing government, so we should consider this point carefully." When Jin Nengheng heard that he was really going to do it on a large scale, he couldn't help but feel palpitations, "Don't talk about other trading houses, just my Qichang family, this time the order of civil aircraft is close to the total trade volume of last year, and many things are estimated to be on the way now." As soon as this battle started, the losses of the trading houses were ......" He shook his head again and again, picking up his teeth.

"If there is any loss, the government will compensate for it." Marshali waved his hand, and Orr laughed again, "Since they need these things, can't they be sold for a high price when the time comes?" ”

Kim Nenghyung shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. When will it be sold at a high price? When the time comes, people will turn their faces, and the whole ship will not become scrap metal? Government compensation, to put it easily, the government will not pay money, it is just to go to the Manchus to ask for it. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is now poor in Shanghai and even has no military salaries, so what compensation do they use?

"Your Excellency the Minister is right, this is a time of war, and everything else is considered in the long run." Shi Tailin straightened his already quite straight collar and looked at Aliguo, "Your Excellency Consul, in order to prevent the rebel sailors from going down the river, we should also reach an agreement with the Manchu government to allow my fleet to enter the Yangtze River waterway. ”

Ali Guo spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "General, I can't meet your request. Because of the Wu Jianzhang incident, many people in the Qing army are disgusted with us, especially the Yangtze River Naval Division. Speaking of which, he looked at Kim Neng-hyung, "By the way, how is the investigation into the Wu Jian-chang incident progressing?" ”

"I don't have a clue, this person has a lot of enemies, and there are too many people who want to kill him." Kim Neng-hyung didn't seem to be interested in mentioning it.

"There must be a result, and it will show our justice." Ali Guo sighed, "Besides, the coalition headquarters will be organized soon, and they will also have a sense of security in the concession." ”

"It's not easy," Kim Nenghyung thought for a while, and suddenly smiled secretly, "When the war starts, it will be very easy to do." ”

"Really?" Ah Liguo was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed, he understood that Jin Nengheng was looking for a substitute ghost among the corpses on the battlefield. "Okay, now let's discuss the military deployment in detail. Judging from the observation on the ground, the rebels wanted to concentrate their forces to open up the connection with Shanghai in order to achieve the goal of dividing the Qing army. General Stellin's sailors were to organize a 10,000-strong marine, one to enter Jiading and Baoshan to assist in the defense of the city, and the other to garrison the Longhua area to blockade Shanghai. Replace the Qing soldiers there and tell them to concentrate on dealing with the rebels in Qingpu first. Also......" he glanced at Wall, "Dear Mr. Wall, what do you think of Matsue?" ”

Wall was tired of standing again, he moved his legs, looked at Stairin, and then, cautiously, said, "Songjiang is empty of defense, and it is the location of the rebel headquarters, so I might as well carry out a sneak attack on Songjiang." Once successful, the rebels will be in chaos without a fight. ”

"How do you know it's not a deliberate trick set up by the other party?" Fang Jingbo didn't really think of it that much, he was just worried about that King An, and he hated Wall's viciousness, so he deliberately used these words to embarrass him.

"No, I'm looking closely." Wall tilted his head proudly, and wanted to snap his fingers in the air, but his hand was in the air, and he stopped again. He involuntarily glanced at Stellin again.

Stellin looked at him approvingly this time, "Then tell me your opinion in detail." ”

To receive General Stairn's encouragement, Wall was overjoyed. He explained in detail his plan, that is, to dispatch part of the Qing army to cooperate, and the "foreign gun team" to avoid the main road through Tangwan and Maqiao to raid Songjiang. Isn't that guy named Chen arrogant and ruthless, so he started from the east gate of his defense. He wants to break into Songjiang, destroy the rebel nest in one fell swoop, and use more ruthless methods to deal with those who have insulted him. Of course, to leave the girl next to King An, she is so beautiful, it is a kind of beauty that she has never seen in so many places. I want to bring her back to the United States to enjoy and show off the spoils of this ancient Orient.

After patiently listening to Wall's statement, Stairin nodded, "The arrogant army will be defeated, I think your plan is good." It's just that the number of foreign guns is less, to be honest, the Qing soldiers are some decorations, and they can be used in battle, once there is any setback, it is difficult to imagine where they will be at that time. So......" He turned his gaze to Aitang. It was a battle to really find out the strength of the rebels, and he didn't want to risk his soldiers.

Wall's plan also touched Aitang's heart, and now, he has already put the minister's instructions behind his head and is thinking about reaping greater benefits. It just so happens that his 100-odd marines are useless elsewhere, but they can show their skills here. Seeing Stellin's inquiring gaze, he smiled, "The marines of the French Empire can help Mr. Wall. ”

"Okay, that raid on Songjiang will be the first battle for us to intervene in this armed conflict in China, and we must win. Ladies and gentlemen, please note that as soon as we crush the rebels around Shanghai, the concession will be extended to the whole city of Shanghai, and we will establish a state of China here. Ali Guo seemed full of interest, and then reminded everyone, "We must not underestimate the strength of the rebels in Shanghai, and we must send warships to shell the rebel fortresses and contain them." ”

"Pour the wine, pour the wine, and toast to our brilliant victory in advance!" Marshali's eyebrows fluttered, snapping his fingers, and screaming.

Out of the noisy British Consulate, Fang Jingbo glanced strangely at Jin Nengheng, who didn't seem to be very excited, and asked in a low voice, "Friend, you don't seem to care about Shanghai being finally sued by the Tianjing government?" ”

"A fool would object." Jin Nengheng looked back at the consulate behind him, put his arm around Fang Jingbo's shoulder, and smiled hesitantly, "My dear friend, didn't you say that only when they come, my money can be returned." ”

Fang Jingbo turned his head to look at him, shook his head, and laughed along.

"They beat them, you have to hurry up to see Mrs. Sang, you must arrange the future affairs, and don't have any more accidents." Jin Nengheng straightened his face and said sternly.

Fang Jingbo knew that what Jin Nengheng was worried about was the ship that would arrive in the future. He nodded, deliberately frowned, and said, "Mrs. Sang should know that it may not be a good thing for them to come in the future, I am afraid that they will stay." ”

"Oh God, have mercy on your faithful children." Jin Nengheng patted his chest vigorously, and squeezed Fang Jingbo's shoulder hard, "My dear friend, faithful partner, no matter what, you can't scare my dear Mrs. Sang, you must ask her to stay." I can't take any more blows! ”
