The blue sea, and the dark city outline can be faintly seen in front of you, and that is Shanghai.

In the Yanjing wheelhouse, Cai Guoxiang stood straight, in and out of the foreign sailors, although the future has time to train out the sailors, but now, commanding the British mercenaries, come to the south to avenge his blood and hatred, he clenched his fists tightly, thinking of his brother's tragic death, his forehead was bruised.

Standing beside him was a burly white Westerner, the deputy commander-in-chief of the fleet, the Englishman Li Daolin, who looked at Cai Guoxiang from time to time, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Three gunboats pulled out the white line on the sea, followed by two requisitioned steamers, carrying grain and grass materials and 300,000 taels of silver, which were transported to Jiangbei Ying, the capital of Huangzhou, where Zeng Guofan now sits in Huangzhou and coordinates the defense line of the new army in Hubei and other places.

The fleet was to prepare for a simple replenishment in Shanghai, and then sail to Huangzhou, and if it encountered a ship of the Southern Korean Naval Division, it was needless to say that it would be sunk.

At the end of the steamship, in the lounge near the amidship, Katsuho is slowly wearing a big hat, wearing a belt, and on the brocade bed, faintly revealing pink legs and jade arms.

"Master, are you up now?" Listen to the voice, charming and shy, but it is a man's voice, the wooden bed is Shengbao's male pet servant, Shengbao loves to bring this rabbit called the little third son when he goes out of Beijing for military affairs. This trip to Huangzhou has the intention of supervising the army, and he can't bring a concubine with him.

"Hmm." Katsuho's voice was majestic, different from when he was begging for pleasure.

The third son also got up slowly, put on his coat lazily, and said while buttoning the buttons: "Master Bao'er, I heard that the people in the south are fierce, and I am really a little afraid." ”

Sheng Bao frowned and said, "What are you afraid of?" Jingxiang, he's just a bunch of stinky shit! "When it comes to Jingxiang, Shengbao's face is a little yin, he was angry in Guangzhou, and finally he was forced to sneak back to Yanjing, if it weren't for the emperor's magnanimity, I was afraid that my head would be cut off, and this time I came to Jiangnan again, but it was really feng shui in turn, and his own ship was strong and sharp, but it was enough for Jingxiang to drink a pot.

When Shengbao and Xiao Sanzi got out of the cabin, the two of them had already turned into the appearance of the master and the little servant, and when they came to the deck, looking at the slowly approaching Shanghai Port, Shengbao snorted coldly and said, "Look at how long he Jingxiang can jump?" He added: "Give Cai Guoxiang a signal, and when the supply is finished, and then encounter the merchant ships in the south, fire the cannon." ”

"Wow!" The herald ran to herald the flag.

Shengbao put his hands behind his back, slowly pacing on the deck, looking at the ironclad ship with a metallic luster under the head in front of him, Shengbao's eyes slowly narrowed, I heard that Jingxiang's kid has a few beautiful concubines, and not long ago he brought back a beautiful woman from Yueben, and when he captured Jinling, he wanted to see it.

When the war between the north and the south began, the southern officials in Shanghai were quickly arrested, but the concession remained the same, and the docks and docks were all owned by the British, so the supply of the northern fleet was naturally not a problem.

The ships circled around and waited for the current to come before slowly approaching the port, and Katsuho paced on the deck for a while, seeing the busy foreign sailors going up and down, he was really bored, so he went back to the lounge and waited.

More than an hour later, suddenly the herald came to deliver a letter, saying that Commander Cai had invited him ashore to meet with the British consul.

Shengbao has always looked down on Han officials, and he had a grudge with Yuan Jiasan back then, and when he heard the herald's warning, he scolded: "Bastard thing, isn't this an extraneous branch?" "But when I met with the British consul, I naturally tidied up my clothes and got off the ship slowly.

Walked across the pontoon bridge with the support of several soldiers, on the wharf, there was already a sedan chair waiting for it, on the sedan chair, there were foreign soldiers on the left and right, and the victory was safe, after all, Shanghai is the territory of the southern country, although there is no southern [***] team to arm, but if you say that you have stayed here for a long time, after all, there is something inappropriate.

Cai Guoxiang was cautious, Shengbao could trust him, and when he saw the foreign soldiers hugging each other, the original uneasiness disappeared.

About tea time, the sedan chair stopped, Shengbao got off the sedan chair, and saw that it was a small western-style building, with colorful and luxurious glass, similar to the sharp pavilion structure of the church, and the green grass garden, like a condensed small palace, and the white and immaculate marble statue of the maiden in the front hall was vivid, as if it would be alive at any time.

The iron fence gatehouse, standing guard is the Indian Ah San with red envelopes.

Sheng Bao rewarded him with a red-headed silver ingot for the sedan curtain, and walked into the foreign house with square steps, looking around at the exotic customs while pondering the wording when meeting with the British consul.

Led by a servant up the stairs along the red carpet, and after turning a corner, the servant pushed open a mahogany door, and before Katsuho entered the house, he heard the voice of a foreign devil named Li Daolin.

Sheng Bao entered the room with a smile and said, "Lord Cai is also here, right?" ”

Gorgeous chandeliers, foreign paintings hanging on the four walls, sofa coffee table in the hall, a few people sitting, Sheng Bao approached with a smile, suddenly, the smile froze, I couldn't believe my eyes, rubbed hard, but, it was not an illusion, the handsome young man sitting in the middle of the main seat, wearing a brocade robe, no, is it Jingxiang? I haven't seen him for a few years, and his appearance hasn't changed much.

"Bao'er is handsome, your honorable guest!" The young man smiled and beckoned to him.

Shengbao stayed for a while, turned around, but saw two tower-like men standing behind him, his legs were weak, but he still walked over reluctantly, and after walking two steps, he suddenly collapsed on the ground.

"Look at your little bit of talent!" The palace guards behind Shengbao grabbed him to his feet and dragged him to the coffee table.

Shengbao's mind was blank, why, why did it fall into Jingxiang's hands in a daze? Looking blankly, beside Jing Xiang, there was a beautiful woman with curly hair in a light blue uniform, with outstanding temperament and clear big eyes staring at her.

Li Daolin, on the other hand, stood on the side with a slight restraint, this British colonel who was extremely arrogant in the northern country, Katsu Bao had never seen him with such a demeanor.

Ye Zhao looked at Shengbao, the old enemy, smiled, turned his head to Zhu Sisi and said, "They are all big names in the northern country, and today you are considered to have seen a lot." ”

Zhu Sisi was really convinced by her perverted appearance, and she was silent, and the three freshly baked northern ironclad ships were taken for herself.

Ye Zhao patted Li Daolin on the shoulder and said, "Daolin, you go now, take the boat, drive me to Nanjing Wharf, and put it on the beach here, I always feel a little bottomless in my heart!" ”

Li Daolin bowed his body very low, so that Ye Zhao could photograph himself, and responded: "Yes, Your Highness, don't worry, I'll do it." ”

When Li Daolin walked out, he was running into several guards pushing Cai Guoxiang, who was tied up, Cai Guoxiang's eyes were red when he saw Li Daolin, and he scolded: "Traitor! Traitor! Shameless! ”

Li Daolin and his British sailors collectively defected, where would Cai Guoxiang think of it? I was deceived into coming to Shanghai, and I was tied up not long after I went ashore.

Li Daolin let him scold him and walked out quickly, after all, he always felt guilty in his heart for the sake of money.

"People die for money, birds die for food, these mercenaries come all the way to China for? But it is no wonder of them, it is you who do not know people. Ye Zhao smiled and looked at Cai Guoxiang.

Cai Guoxiang suddenly turned his head and stared at Ye Zhao, and gradually, he knew who the person in front of him was.

"Jingxiang, don't be complacent, sooner or later, one day, your rebellion will be cut by a thousand knives!" Cai Guoxiang's eyes were about to erupt with fire.

Ye Zhao smiled, waved his hand, and the guards pushed Cai Guoxiang out, and when he got outside, he saw that the prince couldn't hear it, so he beat Cai Guoxiang all the time.

Ye Zhao looked at the list of the Northern Fleet in his hand, and inadvertently fished out a batch of food and materials, with hundreds of thousands of silver, which was enough for a month's food and salary for the whole army.

Ye Zhao looked at Sheng Bao, who was sitting on the ground: "Sheng Bao, what about you, I'll let you go back, and by the way, bring a letter to Yi Xin, tell him that I have made up my mind about this Yanjing City, if he surrenders now, I will leave him alive." ”

Shengbao was excited, and immediately shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, I won't go back." It's a knee-jerk reaction, he wants to go back and bring a letter to Jingxiang, so is there still a way to live?

Ye Zhao shook his head and waved his hand, and the guards immediately dragged him out.

"You hurry up and go back, go to the beach, it's not safe." Zhu Sisi is not at ease, but I don't know how many people want this perverted head.

Ye Zhao smiled: "What are you afraid of?" In my eyes, this Yixin is the captain of the transportation brigade, and his shrimp soldiers and crab generals are insignificant! ”

Snorted, Zhu Sisi glanced at Ye Zhao and said, "I know that I am boasting about myself." Immediately, he was hugged by Ye Zhao by the waist and into his arms, kissed her delicate face, and said with a smile: "Xianggong misses you tightly, don't leave tonight!" ”

The Shanghai-Suzhou-Changzhou section of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway has been put into trial operation, while the Changzhou-Zhenjiang-Nanjing section is still under construction, but now it is faster to take the land route than the Yangtze River waterway.

Zhu Sisi broke away and said, "I don't have time to accompany you." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "I heard that you have a headache recently, that nine-patterned dragon, send you flowers every day?" ”

Jiuwenlong is the most powerful arms dealer in Shanghai, almost monopolizing the underground arms market in Shanghai, with the support of British [***] fire dealers, as well as the shadow of French and American [***] fire dealers.

When the nine-tattooed dragon saw Zhu Sisi a few years ago, he was immediately shocked, and began a crazy pursuit action, thinking also, where has he seen such a fresh modern female surname? Not to mention that she is still a powerful female police officer, and her unique temperament is not comparable to glamorous vulgar fans.

Zhu Sisi said: "I tried to arrest him several times, but the British did not agree. ”

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Just him, do you still use your wife to hurt your brain?" He took out his pocket watch and looked at it, mumbled, and said, "This guy's head should be cut off by now." ”

Zhu Sisi was speechless for a while and said, "Aren't you bullying people?" "It's not that I'm bullying the nine-tattooed dragon, it's bullying her Zhu Sisi, I'm thinking about how to get rid of that disgusting fat man, the pervert came to Shanghai to do big things, and casually touched the upper lip and the lower lip, and it was solved by the way. Speaking of which, the pervert and the nine-patterned dragon are a hundred gears apart, don't look at the nine-patterned dragon calling the wind and rain in Shanghai, the earth emperor is general, but in the eyes of the pervert, it is really no different from an ant.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Whoever told him to beat my wife's idea, it's not enough to die a hundred times!" ”

Zhu Sisi glanced at Ye Zhao again, but her heart was sweet.
