Sang Yu went to visit the "sick" Xu Naizhao, and accompanied the governor who was lying on the bed, with a sad face but not a sick face, chatted for a while, and comforted him with gentle words.

Thinking of what happened on the "Seabird", Xu Naizhao always felt a little guilty about Sang Yu. At the beginning, after the "Seabird" passed through the sphere of influence of the Yangtze River Naval Division, in order to prevent accidents, the "robbers" wanted to keep him and Yang Yunxiang until the end. It was Sang Yu who had dealt with the "robbers" several times before she was able to get out first, but she was willing to take that last risk. Alas, if it weren't for the current world, she would have to help this "confidant" make a big splash in the mall anyway.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly and looked at Sang Yu, "Madam is by no means an idle person, and she will definitely make great achievements in the business world in the future." It's a pity that the times can't help anyone, and the official wants to help but can't help for a while. I just hope that the situation will settle down as soon as possible, if there is still a chance, this official will definitely ......" Maybe it was because of some excitement, but at this point, he couldn't help coughing continuously.

"Your Excellency, you really have been thinking about this for a long time. Besides, the adults gave us Angel the matter of purchasing grain and straw in Beiying, and also took care of the little girl. Sang Yu got up and poured him a glass of water, "Actually, as long as everyone is there, it's better than anything else." According to the little woman, the current situation is not very good, since the adult is unwell and can no longer preside over military affairs, why not leave this place first and find a quiet place to recuperate? Alas, there are more foreign soldiers in the British and French concessions, and there is still a 'foreign gun team' in the American concession, and it seems that the foreigners are really starting to help us. It's just that it's troublesome, and now business is getting worse and worse. Perhaps, maybe it won't be long before Shanghai will settle down. ”

"Alas, the official body can't help himself!" Xu Naizhao leaned on the head of the bed and drank two sips of water, and pressed the suffocating strength in his chest, "Don't say it's sick, it's death, the official has to die in this place and can't move." Speaking of this, he held the teacup in both hands and looked at Sang Yu carefully, "Madam, you can't say anything less about dealing with foreigners, so naturally you should understand what foreigners are." Without profit, they never stick their heads out. When you interact with them, you always have a little bit of an eye on them. ”

"What the adults said is," Sang Yu took the teacup, put it back on the table, and smiled, "It's just that the little woman's brain is too stupid, and she always thinks that since they are friends, they won't hurt each other, so it's easy to use others as guns." ”

"Wu Song's Guangdong Sailor Yang Yunxiang is still a good person, although he has not been in contact with this official for a long time, he is still quite angry." Xu Naizhao thought for a while, "This official writes you a letter, you go to him, if you need help, you can ask him for help." The concession may not be a really quiet place, and if it doesn't work, it's better to take shelter first. ”

"Alas, if the customs duties are really exempted from foreign merchants, then we, the merchants of our country, can only follow behind them and make second-hand goods for others, and it will be good to be able to mix a bite of food." Sang Yu lamented.

"It's a matter of time," Xu Naizhao shook his head with a wry smile, "The official just didn't want to carry this black cauldron, so he handed over the power to Gilhanga and them." ”

"They are all officials of the Qing Dynasty, according to the investigation, the Lord is still a man, but the world is theirs, how can they be so generous?" Sang Yu frowned and shook her head incredulously.

Xu Naizhao closed his eyes slightly and did not speak. He had no way to answer Sang Yu's question, because even he couldn't figure it out himself.

Leaving the governor's yamen, Sang Yu first rushed to Yang Yunxiang, and then she came to Qichang Foreign Bank. The situation is becoming more and more urgent, the Qing army naval division has strengthened the blockade of the Yangtze River, and by land, the southern camp of the Qing army in the Longhua area has been heavily deployed against Qingpu and Songjiang, she needs to find a shortcut, try her best to open up the connection with the heavenly army, and inform His Royal Highness King An of the new changes around Shanghai in a timely manner.

No matter how you look at it now, Qichang no longer looks like a foreign company, but a big barracks. After Kim Neng-hyung came out with the scandal of the "Seabird", although he was also scolded by the minister, he was disgraced. However, that was only a passing cloud of smoke. Although the government was not affected much, after all, the money was gone, and for this reason, he didn't think about tea and dinner for almost a few days. For those "robbers", he hated it to the point of home, and the roots of his hatred itched. Now, the opportunity for revenge has finally arrived.

If you want to say that the American minister Marshali, he can really show the national color of the United States to the fullest. He is not as impulsive as Ali Guo, and if he can't come, he puts all his old books into it to gamble, but after some careful consideration and repeated scrutiny. On the one hand, he was actively in favor of forming a coalition army to deal with the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but on the other hand, he was secretly leaving himself a way out.

He had no intention of asking his army to intervene, but only ordered Jin Nengheng to be responsible for recruiting a group of homeless people in the concession, and adventurers who were eager to make a fortune but couldn't find a way to organize and put together a "foreign gun team". He wanted to use this unofficial weapon to fight with the British and Qing troops. Once the shape is advantageous, it is not too late to throw in a few warships of the navy when the time comes, and it is not too late to catch it. However, once the battlefield is lost, Shanghai will completely become the world of the Taiping Army, and the "foreign guns" will not represent the government after all.

So, Kim Neng-hyung was ordered to recruit those American ronin stranded in the concession with a high salary, plus some sailors on the ship, to organize an armed force of more than 300 people. For the sake of this army, he also has no headaches, people say that as long as you give money, there are those who don't want to die. It's a weapon, and it becomes a big problem at the beginning. In the past, I made a fortune by throwing weapons upside down, but now I really want to use them, and I can't put together a few guns, let alone cannons. I had no choice but to borrow some weapons from the Concession Defense Regiment first, and then embezzle some from the warships, and finally survived.

But now he's much more savvy than he used to be. Since Wu Jianzhang, on behalf of the Manchu Qing Shanghai government, has signed an agreement with the foreign powers to invite troops, then I am sorry, Wu Jianzhang must pay the first month's salary of the "foreign gun team" in advance, and he is not willing to do that kind of thing to lose money and make money.

In normal times, the cost of 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver a month for the "foreign gun team" would be a drop in the bucket for Wu Jianzhang. But now it's different, the arrogance of the foreign adults, the taxes that should be collected can't come up, and he is overstretched in the early trouble, and even the meager salary of the hundreds of soldiers and brave soldiers put together by his subordinates has to be squeezed out of the teeth, not to mention such a large amount of "huge money". He and Gilhanga worked hard for a long time before they barely managed to scrape together less than 50,000 taels. Faced with the unrelenting Jin Nengheng, he had to grit his teeth and mortgage his shares in Qichang, which was finally settled.

As soon as all the major things were done, Wu Jianzhang's heart was steady. He said goodbye to Jin Nengheng and Fang Jingbo, and it was time to go back and arrange the ideas under him. At this time, Sang Yu came in with a sad brow.

"Hehe, it's Mrs. Ai who is here, I'm glad to be there!" Wu Jianzhang smiled all over his face and arched his hands again and again.

"Lord Daotai is also here, won't he come to find the handle of the little girl's bandit again?" Sang Yu replied to him angrily, and turned her face to greet Jin Nengheng and Fang Jingbo.

"Everywhere, it's all misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Wu Jianzhang sneered, "Madame is about to be a citizen of the United States, how noble she is, she will definitely not be in line with bandits, and she will never be in line with them." ”

"Your Excellency, the little woman is so angry when she sees you now, hey, if you don't find a way to make up the boat money for you, the little woman will have no shame to see you." Sang Yu grabbed one of Jin Nengheng's arms, and her eyes were a little red sadly.
