Chapter 357: Another Poor Ghost
The captives were escorted ashore in groups with a look of dejection on their faces, and according to Wang Feng's request, they were to distinguish the Kshatriyas and Brahmins among the Indians.
And on the shore, the guns gradually piled up into a few hills, these are all original imported Minnie guns, the total number of British troops is about 50,000, the standard configuration is one gun and two barrels, except for those damaged in the war, the preliminary estimate should be able to get about 100,000 barrels.
This alone made a lot of money, not to mention the artillery and warships, thirteen small steamers, some of the merchant ships escaped, about thirty ships, and the rest were all presented by the green battalion soldiers as a vote of righteousness.
Not only the soldiers were excited, but the nearly 1,000 staff of the Ordnance Bureau were also extremely excited, in groups of three or five, looking around the captured cannons, comparing them with their own production, I have to say that the British guns have their own uniqueness, the barrel is needless to say, there is no lathe for processing the barrel in the Democratic Alliance Army, the key is his gun mount, although it is still a trunnion gun mount, but it is light and strong, compact in structure, and can play a better role in stabilizing the barrel with a lighter weight, which is indeed superior. In addition, there were people who couldn't wait to board the ship and study the latest naval guns.
Wang Feng was not in a hurry to get on the ship, but silently looked at the noise ahead, through this battle, the overall equipment level of the Democratic Alliance will reach a new level, but the greatest value is the British flagship Duke Wellington, this giant warship, is a brand new warship, but also = the world's leading strongest warship, representing the highest level of British science and technology, if it can be studied thoroughly, its significance will be enough to affect the development process of the Chinese Navy.
year. For a whole year, until this time. The position of the Democratic Alliance is truly as solid as a rock, and this qiē. It was all created from scratch by himself, and Wang Feng's heart was full of pride!
At this time, Sheng Xuanhuai stretched out his hand to Wang Feng's front eye and shook it: "Wang Feng, why do your eyes keep flashing, shouldn't you be a nymphomaniac?" The captives over there have been brought over, and you want the lion to open his mouth again, right? ”
Nowadays, Sheng Xuanhuai's spoken language has a tendency to modernize, which is all due to Wang Feng's subtle and gradual formation of habits, such as Big Mac and nymphomaniac. Mentally handicapped, petty, putting a cannon wire and the like, sometimes mixed Chinese and English are spoken.
Wang Feng smiled strangely: "I said Sheng Xuanhuai, you care about me a lot, don't you want to be a child for me?" I sue you, I'm not interested in men, and I don't like to go through the back door, so I advise you to die before it's too late. ”
Brush! Zhou Xiuying and Yang Shui's delicate faces were crimson. Tilt your face to the side and curse secretly.
"Who of you is going to be a child for you? You stink! Sheng Xuanhuai's face flushed with anger for a moment, and he glared at Wang Feng angrily.
In fact, in this era, there are many people who raise children, and same-sex people are not subject to moral condemnation and social discrimination as in later generations. Based on Sheng Xuanhuai's various words and deeds, there is really a tendency to develop in that direction.
Wang Feng glanced at Sheng Xuanhuai meaningfully, and then cast his gaze forward. The cattle gathered by the river, and the buffalo all ran into the river. Some warriors took a small boat and hooked the cloth covering the eyes of the buffalo, otherwise they would have drowned alive no matter how good the water was.
On the other side. There were more than 20 high-ranking British generals headed by Huishi and Lambert, as well as Wu Jianzhang, Gilhang'a, and Wu Wenrong, as well as more than 600 Hindu Brahmins and Kshatriyas who were screened out, and hundreds of high-ranking Baibailins, a total of more than 700 people, who were escorted over by some of the sailors and marines of the village.
Wang Feng asked Boss Chen: "Big boss, have you ever asked for the contract in the hands of the British?" ”
Ah Boss doesn't dare to be called the big boss anymore, especially Wang Feng, it can be said that after this battle, he really got rid of all other aspects, and immediately waved his hand and said: "The commander-in-chief doesn't want to torture me, the big boss is just a friend on the road who calls him by his name, and the commander-in-chief can call him by his name, as for the contract, I have never asked for it, but I have a copy here, can you take a look?" As he spoke, he gave Xian Yunying a look.
Xian Yunying took out the contract from his arms and handed it to Wang Feng, on the contract, clauses 1234, including interest calculation, were all clearly written, and the end was stamped with the seal of the East India Company, and the signatures and handprints of Huishi and Boss Chen.
Wang Feng nodded, looked at the British, and Zhang Tianxi immediately introduced: "Commander-in-chief, this is the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, Huishi, and he is also the commander of this attack. ”
Wang Feng immediately moved his gaze to Hui Shi, his eyes were burning, and he didn't speak, Hui Shi only felt uncomfortable, but he held on and looked at Wang Feng without showing weakness.
After a long time, Wang Feng retracted his gaze and said in a commanding tone: "Mr. Huishi, please return the contract signed by Chen Cun with you." ”
They take it for granted that with the victory, the contract will be null and void, after all, there is a lack of awareness of the contract, but in fact, as long as the contract is still in Huishi's hands, and China and Britain formally establish diplomatic relations in the future, he can use diplomatic means to recover this arrears from Ah Cun, which will also bring great passivity to Wang Feng, which is not a reasonable and unreasonable issue, but in black and white, written clearly.
Hui Shi did have this luck, Chen Cun didn't ask for the contract, he was secretly happy, but he didn't expect that the first sentence Wang Feng opened his mouth was to ask for a contract!
Giving up such a large amount of profits, Hui Shi was reluctant, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Mr. Wang Feng, although I was captured by you, the contract was signed by me and Chen Cun, and you have no right to ask for it." ”
Wang Feng's face sank and said, "Mr. Huishi, are you joking?" How dare an old frigate bid a million pounds? How dare each soldier's bereavement be worth 10,000 pounds? In metric terms, the gold content of each pound is 7.32238 grams, and 10,000 pounds is about the weight of a person's gold. Moreover, how can the ships that were sunk in the battle between the two armies be used to claim compensation for the dead in battle? If you want to calculate that our army has nearly 10,000 dead in battle, will you also have to ask for compensation of 10 million pounds?
If you look ahead, you have destroyed a good city, tens of thousands of people have been left homeless, and how much does it cost to resettle and rebuild? Should I also file a claim with the UK government?
Mr. Whisch, I solemnly remind you that you are both captives and hostages, and if the British Government does not accede to my demand for compensation, then perhaps you will never be able to return to China for the rest of your life. ”
Lambert hurriedly pulled Huish, if Wang Feng really made a huge claim of tens of millions of pounds to the British government, the only foreseeable result was that the negotiations would be endless, until his own people died of old age in China.
For politicians in London, a refusal will lose the hearts of the people, and they are reluctant to promise a huge amount of compensation, and the use of procrastination is undoubtedly the best means, Lambert understands too well and does not let go, so he can only cut off his hope of release, and then take a step back and say, will the Democratic Alliance not use the body search? Don't you have to hand over the contract obediently?
Hui Shi also understood this truth, he was just distressed, and it took a long time to grit his teeth, and reluctantly took out the contract from his arms, Wang Feng took it and saw that it was exactly the same as Boss Chen's share, and immediately held the two into a paper ball, rubbed it vigorously, and then raised it, and suddenly, the confetti in the sky fell to the ground.
The corners of Huish's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and the three and a half million pounds were gone.
"Papa~~" Wang Feng dusted off the confetti in the palm of his hand, put on a smiling face and said: "Mr. Huishi, everyone, our Democratic Alliance Army is a civilized army, and has always had a tradition of treating prisoners of war preferentially, as long as you cooperate with us and do not deliberately escape, you will not be physically abused."
We will make some small demands to your government, and when we have agreed, you will be free, I think, it will not be very long, and of course, during the period of detention, if anyone is willing to serve our NLD or the government, we will pay a lot of money. ”
"Thank you!" Two words burst out of Huish's mouth stiffly.
Wang Feng moved his eyes to Gilhanga again, and the sweat on Gilhang'a's forehead instantly flowed all over his face like rain, and he knew very well that the Democratic Alliance Army could give preferential treatment to foreigners, but would never give him preferential treatment, because he was a Manchurian, and the Chinese have always had the tradition of paying debts from fathers and sons, and who would pay the accumulated blood debts owed by his ancestors for hundreds of millions of lives?
Wang Feng stretched out a finger and shook it: "Master Ji, a fixed price, 100,000 taels of gold, in exchange for your life!" ”
"Plop!" A sound, Gilhanga collapsed on the spot, the international gold and silver price ratio is 1 to 15.2, and the original Qing Dynasty gold and silver price is 1 to 8 to 1 to 10, there is a lot of arbitrage space in this, the foreigners found such a large exchange rate difference, it is natural to use silver to arbitrage gold in China, in the past ten years, due to a large number of gold taken away, the domestic gold price has risen wildly, reaching 12 to 13, Wang Feng opened his mouth to ask for 100,000 taels of gold, according to the lowest price, also worth 1.2 million taels of silver!
Although Gil Hang'a served as Changzhen Tonghaidao before the governor of Jiangsu, he was only in office for a few months, and he didn't even touch the two relatively rich mansions of Changzhou Zhenjiang, and he was captured by the Taiping Army and the Democratic Alliance Army respectively, and Haimen Tongzhou was full of saline, except for salt industry and fishing, there was basically no decent industry, in Jiangsu at that time, it was poorer than Huai'an and Xuzhou in northern Jiangsu, where is there oil and water!
Gilhanga is almost the same as Shengbao, who was shot by Wang Feng, they both belong to the lower level of the banner people, relying on their own efforts to climb up step by step, their savings are extremely limited, and they can't get the sky-high price that Wang Feng wants to buy his life money when he is shot a hundred times!
As soon as Wang Feng saw Gil Hang'a's expression, he knew that this was another poor ghost, so he was too lazy to say anything, and beckoned back.
Two soldiers stepped forward and dragged Gilhanga a few steps away, and another pulled the trigger on the back of the head with a gun!
"Bang!" The muzzle of the gun flashed, and Gilhanga fell in response, and a fist-sized bloody hole was clearly visible.
This can scare all the captives, fighting on the battlefield, and killing the captives who have no power to resist, the effect is completely different, especially Wu Wenrong and Wu Jianzhang, who can't control the violent trembling of the deep body! (To be continued......)
