Zhang Feihu seemed to forget the pain, let the blood splash in his head, and the dozens of people also began to slam along, Wu Wenrong finally felt a little unbearable, turned his head and said: "Mr. Huishi, Mr. Lambert, do you want to forget it?" ”

Although he didn't understand, he knew what he meant when he saw Wu Wenrong's expression, and Hui Shi immediately said: "Victory or defeat is sometimes only determined by the last inch, we must not give up, maybe the Democratic Alliance only has the last mine left, maybe it has been swept away, let him go!" ”

The interpreter ran to the side of the boat and said loudly, and all of a sudden, the faces of the people on the boat were like ashes, which was equivalent to a death sentence, because no one believed that the mines in the water had been swept away.

When you are a pirate, you have a fierce spirit, since you are forced to die, then why not just fight? Killing one is enough, killing two is enough to earn!

"Brothers, foreign devils don't give us a way to live" Zhang Feihu was full of grief and indignation, and was about to order this big pickpocket ship to attack the Duke of Wellington, which has a displacement of nearly 6,000 tons, when an entourage came over and whispered a few words.

Zhang Feihu's eyes suddenly showed some brilliance, he looked ahead, and with a heavy bow, he ordered the boat to row forward.

A lonely pickpocket boat floated on the river, more than a dozen pirates stood by the boat, taking bamboo poles to play in the water, looking extremely desolate, the Qing Dynasty officials who took the Duke of Wellington, except for Wu Jianzhang, all secretly shook their heads, very sympathetic to Zhang Feihu, but the decision of Lord Yang = , this battle with the British army as the main force, how dare they intercede?

Lambert frowned and muttered, "Mr. Huish, something is wrong. You see how the pirate leader is driving on the swept river, is it possible that he wants to run? ”

Huish also took a closer look. Sure enough, the pirates paid the price of total annihilation to clear the mines. It's not that it doesn't work at all, at least a piece of the river is cleared, and he secretly remembers that Zhang Feihu's boat looks like it's cleaning hard, but it's driving in a safe waterway, and it's getting farther and farther.

That entourage did let Zhang Feihu take the opportunity to escape, anyway, the British warship did not dare to chase, as long as it was out of the range of the artillery, he could find a place to go ashore. Or sneak back to South China, or simply cut off their braids and become the common people of the Democratic Alliance.

"Cunning Chinese!" Huish sneered and waved his hand: "Fire!" ”

The muzzle of the cannon was slowly adjusted, and after a while, a ball of fire burst out, and I saw a splash of water on the left side of the big pickpocket, and even a faint urging voice could be heard: "The foreign devils are all killed, hurry, hurry up, row out, and the old men will come to take revenge!" ”

Originally, the big pickpocket boat was still pretending. The speed was not too fast, but when this was recognized, the speed suddenly increased, and every oarsman was paddling with the strength of milk. For every inch the ship moved forward, their hopes increased.

Life and death are only in the line of life, driven by a strong desire to survive. Everybody fights!

But the wish is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel. There was a loud bang, and the watchtower of the big pickpocket boat bloomed. Collapsed on the spot, including Zhang Feihu, more than ten figures were thrown into the river, and after about ten seconds, there was another boom, this cannon, hit the back tail of the ship, and blasted the back half of the ship to smithereens!

Suddenly, the remaining half of the hull of the ship tilted on the spot, smashed heavily into the river, and after breaking into three sections, it gradually sank to the bottom of the river.

Only three cannons, three cannons killed a big pickpocket, and the big pickpocket boat is enough to be the most powerful ship in the Qing Dynasty, Qing court officials, this time even Wu Jianzhang gasped, and a sense of irresistible depression of the British Empire arose!

Hui Shi was obviously very satisfied with the expressions of everyone in the Qing court, and asked through the interpreter: "Gentlemen, although those who trampled on the contract have been duly punished, the mines in the river have not been cleared, and we must occupy the Baoshan Wharf before dark, can you give me a Jianyi?" ”

If you want to continue to move forward, you can only continue to sweep mines, the pirates are dead, and it is impossible for the British army to clear mines, so only Chen Cun is left, but the relationship between Chen Cun and the Yamen, the governor of Liangguang, is extraordinary, at least much closer than the Black Flag Gang, and Chen Cun is not a soft persimmon, but actually an elite sailor, therefore, Gil Hang'a and other Qing court officials have remained silent.

Sure enough, Hui Shi hit Chen Cun's idea, and asked the interpreter to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to pirates, you China also have a naval fleet, and I plan to let them make some contributions, which of you are willing to persuade?" Good words and persuasion always hurt the peace, right? ”

There was already a threat in Huishi's words, and Wu Jianzhang couldn't help but say: "Mr. Huishi is different from Mr. Berrant, Chen Cun and pirates, they have no obligation to clear mines, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?" ”

Brandt's face sank and said: "Mr. Huish is the commander-in-chief of this expeditionary force, and he has been granted the right to dispose of it on the spot by the Governor General of India, he has the right to give any orders in wartime, please go and persuade him, but he doesn't want to hurt the peace, please don't waste time, if it drags on until dark, we will be forced to retreat, and the Democratic Alliance Army will definitely take advantage of the night to continuously release mines, and our army may conclude an armistice agreement with the Democratic Alliance Army when it is unable to enter the Yangtze River!"

Ladies and gentlemen, we Britain and the Democratic Alliance Army do not have a life-and-death grudge, if we leave, there will be no loss to the British Empire, but you Qing Guo hehe~~ As far as I know, the Democratic Alliance Army raided the capital of your country not long ago, and you are helpless!

It is hard for me to believe that without the participation of the British army, the Qing army could resist the Nationalist Alliance, so for your country, this is the best chance to extinguish the Democratic Alliance, and if you refuse to sacrifice even a little sacrifice, we can only express our great regret, and will convey the truth to the emperor of your country through the minister in China. ”

If Wish is just an implicit threat, Berlant is a naked threat, after the translation and paraphrasing, everyone showed helplessness, indeed, without the participation of the British army, the Democratic Alliance Army is simply uncontrollable, the Qing Dynasty will die in the hands of the Democratic Alliance sooner or later, if it takes a while for the Qing Dynasty to fall, then the result of Berant's complaint to the emperor will definitely provoke Xianfeng's anger, and his own people will lose their heads on the spot!

Compared with this, what is it to be able to extinguish the Democratic Alliance Army and sacrifice a mere Chen Village?

Gilhang'a glanced at Wu Jianzhang, and said, "This official heard that Lord Wu and Boss Chen have a friendship, so let Lord Wu take a trip." ”

"This" Wu Jianzhang's face instantly turned green, minesweeping is equivalent to sending him to death, to persuade Boss Chen to die, can people be happy? Maybe kill yourself first!

"Huh? How? Could it be that Lord Wu is unwilling to serve the court? Gilhang's face sank, his eyes were threatening, and he looked at Wu Jianzhang.

Gilhanga didn't dare to slack off when he saw the foreigners, but in the face of Wu Jianzhang, the official authority naturally exuded, he was the governor of Jiangsu, and Wu Wenrong was the governor of Zhejiang, and he ordered Wu Wenrong not to move, but he could order Wu Jianzhang, Wu Jianzhang so far, still has the title of Su Song Taidao, and he is his direct subordinate.

The full name of Su Song Taidao is the sub-patrol Su Song Taibing Road, which is not only in charge of Qian Valley, but also in charge of criminal names, especially in Shanghai County, so he is also in charge of Shanghai Jiang Customs, and the oil and water are more than the governor of Jiangsu, and it is equivalent to integrating the president of the court, the director of finance and the director of customs, which is obviously the fattest lack of the Qing court, and it should have been fighting for a head and bloodshed, but because Su Song was actually controlled by the Democratic League, this led to no one competing with Wu Jianzhang.

On the one hand, there is no oil and water to fish out of the fight, and on the other hand, if the court orders him to cooperate with the governor of Jiangsu to attack Su Songtai, wouldn't this be equivalent to pushing himself into the fire pit? This is also the fundamental reason why Wu Jianzhang can still sit firmly in the position of Su Song Taidao even if he is blind in one eye, and even Xianfeng does not know that Wu Jianzhang is blind in one eye.

Wu Jianzhang had already scolded Gil Hang'a bloody in his heart, he dared to swear that he had never dealt with Chen Cun, but there was no way, the official was crushed to death, so he had to reluctantly beat a thousand: "Chirp!" ”

The translator told Hui Shi the result, and Hui Shi immediately showed a satisfied smile and beckoned back: "Come on, prepare a boat for Lord Wu." ”

Several British soldiers put down the dinghy, and after Wu Jianzhang went down in a basket, the dinghy quickly headed for Boss Chen's boat

"What? Yingyi actually sent us Chen Cun to death? After fifteen minutes, Wu Jianzhang came to the boat, did not dare to delay, and directly relayed the meaning of Huishi, Boss Chen's face suddenly changed drastically, and he stood up with a brush!

Although Chen Village's ship is behind, you can roughly see the tragic appearance of the annihilation of the pirates, and the demining is clearly sending people to death!

Chen Lao Er also said angrily: "We, Chen Cunben, have no grudges and no grudges against the Democratic Alliance Army, why did we send troops to attack if we didn't want to serve the emperor?" Last year, we folded nearly ten boats, hundreds of people died, the court did not give a penny of pensions, as the people of the Qing Dynasty, not only did we not complain, this year we also poured the whole village into the power to help the court continue to attack, but this is good, the so-called crossing the river to demolish the bridge, this damn river has not crossed the bridge to dismantle, what does the court treat our Chen Village? Being a dog? ”

Chen Lao Wu slammed the table even more: "Big brother, second brother, the foreigners sent us to death, and the court betrayed us, Hengzhi is a death, it is better to take advantage of the foreigners' defenselessness and fight his mother, if we can escape, we will take the whole village to find an island and fall into the grass as a coward, and still be fucking happy, isn't it better than being blown up alive by a mine?" ”

Ah Lao Si pointed at Wu Jianzhang fiercely: "Big brother, it is clear that the dog official of the court is afraid that Yingyi will complain to Xianfeng before falling into the ground, so now I will cut off the head of this dog official and sacrifice the flag to show my heart to break with Qinggou!" ”

Suddenly, Wu Jianzhang's frightened face turned pale, and he waved his hand again and again: "Heroes, it's not about the official's business, the official once tried to persuade the foreigners, but the foreigners relied on the strong army and didn't listen to the good words at all, besides, you have all dealt with the foreigners, you should know the arrogance and temperament of the foreigners, and the foreigners who were persuaded by the officials were angry, but it was still useless to persuade them!"
