In December of the twentieth year of Daoguang (December 1840), he docked on the British third-class battleship "Bolan" outside the mouth of the Pearl River. An ironic welcome ceremony is taking place.

The two sides of the ceremony were the British Navy and the Qing Dynasty.

Since the main fleet of the British army was still in the north, the third-class battleship that remained outside the mouth of the Pearl River returned with some ships from the previous theaters around Zhoushan and Dinghai. This group of British navies was led by a British vice admiral named Richard.

A few days ago, this guy sent an envoy to Humen to send an invitation to Qi Shan, then the governor of Liangguang and the Qing court's envoy to the Qing court. He was invited to visit the British Navy on board the Burland and to forge friendship between China and Britain.

In fact, the purpose is obvious, to put it bluntly, he wants to show off his strength and intimidate these useless Manchu cowards.

After receiving Richard's invitation, Qi Shan naturally didn't dare to refuse, and set off after a little preparation. Liu Niu volunteered to accompany him, and Qi Shan also felt more secure when he saw his majestic body and his personal guards. I agreed.

Of course, he didn't know that all this was the result of the discussion between Chen Liansheng, Liu Niu and Lu Zhuang!

Chen Liansheng and Lu Zhuang stayed in Humen and continued to use the Dragon God Sect to infiltrate middle and lower-level military attaches and ordinary soldiers, and at the same time used various means such as coercion and temptation to win over middle and high-level generals. Liu Niu followed Qishan's guard of honor to the Bolan anchored at the mouth of the Pearl River, in fact, to reconnoiter the strength of the British army......

Therefore, Liu Niu temporarily acted as Qi Shan's bodyguard. He had a standard knife across his waist, and his right hand was lightly placed on the hilt, looking forward to it. On the right side of Qi Shan, and another guard brought by Qi Shan from the capital happened to be one left and one right, and behind them were other soldiers. In this way, he walked through the passage formed by the British navy soldiers on both sides.

Although Na Qishan was cowardly, he was already relatively outstanding in the rotten and garbage-filled Manchu court. At least in the face of the erect and murderous British soldiers standing in full armor and armed with bayonets and muskets, they were not so frightened that they peed their pants. He also maintained a basic calm.

However, when the Chinese side came to the end of the welcoming procession of the British troops. All of a sudden, the Xiyi soldiers raised their muskets and pulled the trigger at the sky. Suddenly, the sound of banging gunshots was undulating, endless!

Liu Niu and the others are okay, they were originally elite soldiers who came down from the war. But Qi Shan and his pampered soldiers, I'm afraid that they can't even smell the smell of smoke on the battlefield. Most of these guys are Eight Banner soldiers, except for walking dogs and fighting chicken feathers, they don't even know what firearms are, and they think it's a demon law. There were many people who were so frightened that they fell on the deck of the Bolan, and some of them ran around with their heads in their hands, which was simply a loss of face.

Liu Niuyan quickly helped Qi Shan, who was also about to fall to the ground in fright, from behind, and whispered behind him: "Your Excellency the Governor has stood firm, this is the face of the country." ”

He did not say "I am a Qing Dynasty", but "the country". If Qi Shan had noticed the problem in normal times, but at this time, he had been frightened by the firearms of the British, but he didn't notice the difference in the words used by Liu Niu when he spoke.

just nodded, turned around and showed a grateful look to Liu Niu, raised his sleeve and wiped his sweat. I thought that this Xiyi firearm was so sharp, it was really invincible, and it was necessary to negotiate peace, and it could only be peaceful.

At this time, a burly man in a British naval uniform on the front deck came over, and as he walked, he smiled and spoke in a somewhat jerky Chinese pretense: "My esteemed Lord Qincha, it is an honor to meet you." Richard has been waiting here for a long time. —Captain of the Burland, Vice Admiral Richard, of the British Navy.

Richard walked up to Qi Shan and the others and stood still, quite a little high-spirited and proud. Although he had a smile on his face, he always had a look of contempt in his eyes when he looked at the Manchu delegation.

He stretched out his hand to Qi Shan: "On behalf of the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, I would like to welcome Your Excellency to visit our army. ”

At this time, Qi Shan finally recovered, and the pride of the heavens and the kingdom returned to him, and he greeted each other with Richard. However, the members of the mission behind him, except for the followers of the Dragon God Sect brought by Liu Niu, actually showed some flattering and flattering smiles on their faces, nodding at Richard from afar.

An unknown smile flashed in Richard's eyes, thinking that the deliberate demonstration just now had really scared this corrupt and backward member of the Eastern Empire mission. It's just that...... And there are some people who don't seem to have changed, are they really elite soldiers?

It also happened that at this moment, Liu Niu's eyes also looked over and collided with Richard's eyes.

Suddenly, a trace of sparks seemed to flash in the air, and the smell of smoke appeared. Richard's heart froze, and he still said to Qi Shan quietly on the surface: "This warrior behind Lord Qincha is ......"

Before Qi Shan could speak, Liu Niu first introduced himself with a rough smile: "The last general will be the general of the Guangzhou Navy Division, and the name is not worth mentioning." Today, I see that the adults are so majestic, but maybe I have met the adults on the sea of Guangzhou. By the way, the last general also learned a sentence from some adults in the Guangzhou Navy Camp, what does it seem to be called...... Fack, yes, Fack. Haha, do you feel kind? ”

That's a slap in the face!

Although Liu Niu is honest and honest, it doesn't mean that he won't say anything thorny. The other party's bravado just now really annoyed him a little.

Sure enough, Richard's face changed suddenly.

Although they were still a little apprehensive about this cross-border expedition of the British fleet, they were ecstatic when they discovered that this great empire in the East was actually a paper tiger that fell with a slight push. Basically, it was a series of victories, and it was like no one on the coastline of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

If we insist on saying that there is a fly in the ointment, it is that the part of the fleet that remained in Guangzhou was almost completely wiped out, and a large number of soldiers were also captured. Now the vulgar barbarian ginseng general in front of him actually took the initiative to mention it, isn't this deliberately embarrassing him?

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the scene was a little awkward.

But soon Richard smiled, stared at Liu Niu with blazing eyes, nodded, and said no more. Everyone is then invited into the cabin hall for a meal.

Although Qi Shan was a little happy that the shameful and arrogant Xiyi was deflated, he felt that he was raising the national prestige of "my Great Qing Dynasty", but he was worried that Liu Niu would directly anger the other party. When the time comes, it will be difficult to negotiate peace. So he also glared at Liu Niu fiercely with his eyes, signaled not to make an example, and then led everyone into the welcome banquet hall for dinner.
