Chapter Eighty-Seven: Angry at Alice
Xu Naizhao was not so optimistic, waved his hand and said: "Wu Daotai, the bandits can flow from Jintian for three years until they take Jiangning, if it is not for no reason, you must not despise it, you now carefully look at the guns of the bandits." ”
"Yes, my lord taught me a lesson!" Wu Jianzhang bowed his waist and looked at the only remaining eye, the gun held by the bandit was slender and long, and later he learned that this was the Minnie gun that took away one of his eyeballs, with a range of nearly a mile, and he couldn't help but shoot monstrous hatred in his eyes, as well as indescribable fear!
In particular, the front row of the bandits as far as the eye could see was a Mini gun, and he was carrying a spare barrel, and his waist was bulging, obviously hanging a row of grenades!
Wen Xian and the others also exchanged glances with ugly faces, and they could finally be sure that the Taiping Army did have advanced firearms that were no less advanced than those of Western countries!
With the two sides in a warring position, it was impossible to give another warm hug, Wen Xian's expression quickly recovered, he stood still in front of Wang Feng, and asked lukewarmly: "Mr. Wang Feng, what is your intention in bringing troops to my concession?" Are you planning to attack the concession? ”
Wang Feng smiled slightly: "Mr. Wen Xian, first of all, I want to state one point, the concession is on Chinese land and is an inalienable territory of China, and secondly, it is the Qing court that signed the traitorous agreement with you, not my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, if I attack the concession, I can do it at any time, and I don't have to bear any accusations, but the war will inevitably affect the innocent, the British, French and American expatriates are not combatants, I can't bear to let them lose their lives in China in vain, out of humanitarian considerations, I have no intention of attacking the concession for the time being." ”
"Oh? So why are you here? Wen Xian still said with a cold face.
Wang Feng stretched out his hand and beckoned back: "I heard that there is a tradition in Europe and the United States that the souls of fallen soldiers return to their homeland, and today I am here to return the bones!" ”
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, and saw the Taiping soldiers take out a corpse covered with a homespun cloth from every two people in the caravan, and the cloth was scattered with quicklime, all with more or less purple-black blood clots.
The foreigners on the balcony all changed their complexions, subconsciously covering their mouths and noses, and some women were even more disgusted, and turned their faces to the side for the first time.
Wen Xian is bitter can not say, Europe and the United States have a tradition of returning the souls of fallen soldiers to their homeland, Wang Feng sent the body, reflecting his gentlemanly demeanor and the civilization of the Taiping Army, Wen Xian must also receive, but the problem is that it is already very hot in mid-May, waiting for Hong Kong ships to be transported away, at least a month, the stench is hot, a little carelessness will cause epidemics, chartering a merchant ship is definitely a sky-high price, which is extremely distressing, in addition, the Chinese in the Shanghai area do not have big ships, relying on small fishing boats to transport, A boat can't fit a few cars, this is indeed a tricky problem, even Wen Xian wondered if Wang Feng was deliberately here to cause trouble for himself, but at this time, he had to express his gratitude.
"Mr. Wang Feng, thank you!" Wen Xian rolled his lips with difficulty.
"You're welcome, this is what a civilized person should be." Wang Feng smiled very gracefully.
In fact, Wen Xian wanted to ask Wang Feng if he had any prisoners, but he also understood that in the face of such a cunning opponent as Wang Feng, it was likely to suffer a loss if he raised it first, so he had to suppress this idea for the time being, and gestured to stop the inquiry of Ah Liguo and the others, and looked at the corpse.
The soldiers placed the corpses at the junction, one after the other, in several rows, and soon, there was a loud buzz in the sky, and green-headed flies came out of nowhere, and several British soldiers stepped forward to drive them away, and one of them lifted the cloth.
What kind of corpse is this, there is a black line around the neck, the chest is facing up and down, and a large yellow and purple black messy hair is particularly gritty, obviously the body was sewn upside down after the separation, and that's not all, the calves below the knees are actually placed sideways.
In an instant, Wen Xian and the others had a faint look of anger!
Wang Feng shrugged his shoulders awkwardly, and said heavily: "Please forgive me, because I was in a hurry last night and the soldiers were in a hurry, so the position was a little off, but please rest assured, gentlemen, I will remind them to pay attention next time." ”
The corners of Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly, thinking about next time? He couldn't wait to turn the corpse on the ground into Wang Feng, and just thought in his heart, there was a loud vomiting sound around him, it turned out that such a terrifying and disgusting corpse made Alice couldn't help but vomit!
Wang Feng quickly pulled a handkerchief from the pocket of Hong Xuanjiao's waist and stuffed it, Alice took it without raising her head, wiping her mouth while spitting, until she vomited and held her waist and gasped, she realized that something was wrong, and when she raised her eyes, it was really this guy, and immediately slammed the handkerchief down, her full chest rose and fell violently, pretty, and her face with a little childishness rose and turned red as if she had been greatly humiliated!
"Humph! Dedicated to patting the horse's legs, right? Hong Xuanjiao snorted softly, her face full of schadenfreude.
Wang Fengquan didn't listen, and said in amazement: "Miss Alice, aren't you used to using men's handkerchiefs?" Don't worry, this is not mine, it is my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Women's Camp Manager and Heavenly King's sister Hong Xuanjiao, it is new, it is useless once, I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. ”
"Shut up!" Alice originally saw Wang Feng is stomach full of hatred, and when she matched the innocent and wronged appearance, she immediately became angry and roared: "Wang Feng, you are an executioner, a murderous demon, I hate you!" ”
As she was talking, Alice's eyes turned red, and she hid her face and cried bitterly, not knowing whether it was because of the tragic death of her compatriots or because of her disappointment with Wang Feng.
Wang Feng not only did not pity the jade, but his face quickly became a trace of coldness, and he smiled angrily: "Miss Alice, you have disappointed me so much, I thought at first that you were different from colonists like your uncle, full of sympathy for our Chinese people, and understanding of our Chinese people's revolutionary cause, but today you made me realize that you are still a greedy colonizer in your bones!" ”
"Nonsense!" Alice trembled with anger, snorted and said: "I have lived in Mumbai for so many years, I have never despised the local natives, I have been teaching English to little girls in India since I was ten years old, teaching them Western literature, history and music, and saving the pocket money given by my uncle to help them, I am charitable, I do my best to help them, I am not a colonist, God can testify!" ”
Wang Feng sneered: "Don't talk to me about God, let me ask you, who came thousands of miles to invade us and plunder us?" And who sells opium~~ to us? Can't we resist? The life of your British colonists is fate, and the life of us Chinese is not fate?
When the British envoy Macartney traveled north from Guangzhou to Beijing to congratulate Qianlong on his 80th birthday, the officials along the way treated him as the most distinguished guest, and served us the best food and wine in China in unlimited quantities, but what did Macartney do after returning to China? He mentioned to your Congress, saying that China should do its best to wage a colonial war against China, and that he had lobbied all his life to promote this matter, and that thirty-five years after his death, Britain finally sent the first expeditionary force, could it be that the hospitality of our Chinese was exchanged for being invaded and oppressed? ”
