Chapter Eighty-Three: I Can't Be the Master
"In addition to the nickname, Wang Lin's army in the south broke tens of thousands of British troops at the junction of Hong Kong, and the British have lost control of most areas of Hong Kong." Not every newspaper can get a specific tip about the war, and the reason why the "Xia Hua Times" can get such detailed news clues is because they follow the battlefield reporters in the advancing army.
But it's strange to say this, many people in the newspaper don't understand their boss, how do you say that you, an Englishman, talk about Wang Lin? How can you get your journalist to go to war with his army? And in addition to military places and places involving secrets, you can go to other places, and you will also send soldiers to protect them.
The more I think about this, the more outrageous it becomes, if the boss Hainer hates Britain very much and is bent on being a traitor, then it is possible, but the actual situation is not like this, because they all know that the boss is very concerned about the situation in Britain, and even has dealings with many dukes or something, if such a person will be a complete traitor, these newspaper reporters still can't believe it, but the fact is that they only know Haina, the boss in front of the scenes, but they don't know that there is also Wang Lin, the big boss behind the scenes.
"How is this possible? How could his army defeat a British force of 5,000 men and an Indian force of tens of thousands? Sun Wen sat in a stronghold somewhere in Shanghai, holding a newspaper he had just bought from outside.
A few days ago, this newspaper also said that Wang Lin's retreat to the south was not to escape, but to prepare to meet the enemy, at that time he still didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Wang Lin dared to fight against the British, and he didn't believe that Wang Lin had the courage, what about tens of thousands of troops? The hundreds of thousands and millions of troops in the imperial court did not dare to do anything against the British, so what can you do? But after reading this newspaper, he realized that this thing was true, but it didn't necessarily feel true, and it would take two days to know what the specific situation was, because if it was true, the British side would definitely react.
"I see that this newspaper is run by Wang Lin, and it is true that he encountered the British army, I believe this, but it is not the British army that failed, but he Wang Lin, which I believe." Huang Xing didn't even read the newspaper, and said swaggeringly.
"Keqiang, don't just look at the surface, I think this thing has a certain degree of authenticity, you look at the photo, it doesn't look like it's fake, you look at the mountains of British and Indian soldiers' corpses on the ground, but what is this thing? How did this soldier's weapon look different from the others? Song Jiaoren took the newspaper from Sun Wen's hand and stared at the photo, as if he wanted to find some new clues from it, but he really found it, in a very inconspicuous corner, the sniper scope on a rifle was photographed, although it was not very obvious, only one-fifth the size of the entire sniper scope, but it was still seen by the sharp-eyed Song Jiaoren.
"Where?" Seeing that there were new clues, Sun Wen hurriedly walked to Song Jiaoren's side to watch.
Song Jiaoren pointed to the sniper rifle on the screen, and then the two of them thought deeply, while Huang Xing continued to sit there and think about the problem.
"That's called a sniper rifle." A familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, Sun Wen looked back, it turned out to be Zhang Haiping, whom he met in Yuben a few years ago, this person is Sun Wen's hardcore, so Sun Wen will be deeply appreciated soon after.
"Oh? Do you know? Song Jiaoren was surprised.
"What about acquaintance?" Zhang Haiping raised his hand, so that the three of them could see the scar on it carefully, and continued: "This scar is this kind of shooting, after the Guangzhou Uprising, I went to Hainan with two other female classmates to find the father of a female classmate, which was the address that his father said on the letter to him a few years ago, when we arrived, we found that it was really poor, and we didn't even see a few decent houses after walking for a few days, and then we met a jungle, which was artificially planted, but after entering, we were stopped by someone, It was Wang Lin's men, that is, the Hainan army that is now in the limelight, I didn't know who they were, what they were doing there, I mistakenly thought that they were the new army secretly stationed there by the imperial court, so I wanted to draw a gun and shoot, but what I didn't expect was that my hand was pierced as soon as I picked up the gun, and I didn't know where the person who beat me was, just listening to the voice I could judge that his position with me was more than 300 meters. โ
"More than three hundred meters? Where else can they point at such a distance? Sun Wen couldn't believe it, he had traveled all over the world, and he had never heard of any gun that could hit someone from a distance of 300 meters, and it was still possible to hit someone from a few hundred meters away.
"At first, I couldn't believe it, I was locked up there for nearly a year, and then they captured Hainan, I never dreamed that they would let me go, and I didn't even think that they would sweep Hainan in only two weeks, and the garrison of the imperial court was all cleaned up without leaving behind, from the beginning of the war in Hainan, I knew that this gun is called a sniper rifle, and it has been officially installed in the Hainan Army, and the number is amazing, there are special people responsible for using it, and the people who use sniper rifles are trained separatelyAfter being deployed to various units, with this kind of gun, a sniper with good marksmanship can point and shoot at a distance of hundreds of meters without any effort. Zhang Haiping recalled his memories in Hainan, and at the same time felt a little sad, he didn't understand why Li Ruoyan would give up his ideals and follow Wang Lin, and he didn't understand why his beloved woman would leave him so easily. In fact, what he didn't know was that liking Li Ruoyan was just his wishful thinking, and Li Ruoyan just treated him as a comrade.
"According to what you mean, this Hong Kong incident is very true?" Sun Wen continued to ask, but according to Zhang Haiping's words, the real surname of this Hong Kong incident is very large, but they idealists don't dare to believe it.
Zhang Haiping nodded and stopped talking, he had not been able to get out of the pain of leaving Li Ruoyan in the past few years, and he would often think of her at night. Sun Wen and Song Jiaoren discussed, although it seems that this matter has become a fact, but the two of them are still not very relieved, the two of them just discussed it and felt that they still went to Hong Kong to see it in person, if what they said is true, then they should be able to see Wang Lin's soldiers after they arrive in Hong Kong, right? If this is the case, then Wang Lin may become an important force in the future revolution, as long as he is willing to support himself and believes that relying on Sun Wen's personnel and Wang Lin's army, the overthrow of the Qing court is just around the corner.
Sir Brid, the capital of Hong Kong, stood anxiously back and forth in the Governor's Palace, the water outside was surrounded by Chinese soldiers, and the telegraph was cut off, and now Hong Kong has completely lost contact with the outside world, and what about the invincible armada of the British Empire? God knows where they are now, those damned navy, those damn monkeys of the Far East, if it weren't for them to provoke, the navy of the British Empire would not have gone to sea to fight so easily, and if they didn't go to sea, it wouldn't have caused a void in Hong Kong's defense, if it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been able to fight at all. I just don't know, what does the absence of the Navy have to do with land defense? Could it be that the British army was still accustomed to the support of naval artillery in land warfare?
"Sir Brie, when do you have to think about it?" Tang Zhiyun sat on a chair in the Governor's Palace, drinking authentic British afternoon tea, smoking Sir Brie's cigar, forcing Sir Brie to agree to his terms, and his mood was very happy for a while.
"You are a barbarian, and we in the British Empire will not agree to any of your conditions as a group of Far Eastern barbarians." Sir Brie's demeanor of a great power is still the same as back then, and he still thinks that the current victor is like the British Empire, and he can act like a victor even if he fails, Tang Zhiyun has to admire the mentality of the British port capital.
"Connect the telegraph line, and let the Lord of Hong Kong contact their British Empire fleet." Tang Zhiyun instructed the guards behind him, this is also the basic means of negotiation that Wang Lin thinks, first cut off your communication with the outside world, etc., and force you to go crazy, and at the same time, it will also make you have some thoughts, and then let you know the facts, and throw you from heaven to the ground, not dead or disabled. Immediately, Tang Zhiyun seemed to think of something again, and said to Bu Li: "By the way, I forgot to tell Lord Hong Kong, you can just send a report to India later, I think the fleet of the British Empire should be in India at this time, right?" By the way, I greet your fleet commander, Admiral Filimant. โ
Listening to Tang Zhiyun's words, Bu Li almost vomited blood in anger, **naked provocation, don't worry, when our fleet comes, we will clean up you, a monkey from the Far East. After connecting the telegraph line, Bu Li subconsciously sent a direct report to India, and at this time, the Indian side has been contacting Hong Kong again, and after Bu Li sent the situation here, he quickly got the other party's answer, the Chinese fleet in the Far East has been defeated, only the flagship fled to India, and another seriously injured warship was also sunk in the middle of the road.
In addition, there was news from the Indian side that King Edward VII of Great Britain wanted him to do everything possible to protect British interests in Hong Kong, and that he could accede to their demands first, and at the same time delay as much as possible, waiting for negotiators from mainland China to rush to Hong Kong for negotiations.
After learning that everything was over, Bu Li's whole body seemed to be suddenly emptied of anger, and suddenly sat on the ground like a deflated ball, his face changed from a little pale to pale, without a trace of blood.
"I'm sorry, the treaty on you is now beyond the scope of my function, the British Empire has already sent a negotiating team to Hong Kong, I can only promise you now that before the British Empire negotiating team comes to Hong Kong, the administration and security of Hong Kong can be temporarily handed over to you, and you can negotiate with the British Empire negotiating team in the future negotiations." Bu Li, who finally reacted, said weakly, if he wants to delay the time until the arrival of the negotiation team, this is the only way, otherwise the group of local parliamentarians will really think that they will wait for your arrival so patiently? Don't be foolish, the situation in the Far East is not something you can feel while sitting in the House.
Tang Zhiyun nodded, what he wanted was this effect, giving them the whole of Hong Kong, this is definitely not the purview of a governor, only if he gets control first, what about the negotiations later? If you don't want to give it to me, I'll rob it, anyway, your fleet is nothing in front of me, and your army will be scattered as soon as I rush it, and if you don't pay attention and go directly to India, you can only cry Britain.
