As soon as the cavalry started to charge, most of them were killed and wounded, and the rest of the time ran away, which had a devastating effect on the morale of the foot soldiers, and they also spread their legs and ran back.

"Stop, stop, if you run again, I'll shoot!"

"Brothers of the Qing army, surrender and don't kill, the Han people don't fight the Han people, we are all from the Qing army, now we are good at eating and wearing, invincible, hurry up and throw it over!"

Although Hong Xuanjiao arranged for the loud soldiers to chase and shout with their necks, the Qing army's mind was full of thoughts of fleeing for their lives, how could anyone stop and surrender?

Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but blush: "Toast and don't eat and drink, shoot, pile down a few, see if he dares to run!" ”

"Bang bang bang ~~" scattered gunshots rang out, and several soldiers fell in response, which obviously brought great deterrence, and some people who ran behind began to surrender on their knees with guns raised.

"Bang bang~~" With the sound of gunfire, a few more people fell, and the Taiping army picked up the far away, which naturally made the Qing army running behind eat the memory, and more and more surrendered, until all the kneeling within the range of the range, and they were really running fast, so they let it go.

Hong Xuanjiao swept her eyes coldly and shouted: "Let them do it themselves, cut off all the braids, and then we will go to block Jiading!" ”

"Yes!" Li Erhu gave a salute and commanded the captives loudly, although the captives were very reluctant to cut their braids, and although they were only pointed at by three hundred guns, once a person knelt down and surrendered, the courage to fight to the death would never come back, not to mention that the green camp was rotten, it was okay to fight against the wind, fight against the wind, and fight back by the Jedi, this kind of thought would not be born!

One after another, someone took a knife to cut the braids, and the big black and shiny braids fell to the ground, and at this time, on the periphery of Shanghai County, the Taiping army set up more than a dozen Hongyi cannons and bombarded the Qing army's position.

Xu Naizhao's troops for besieging the Little Knife Society were 4,000, and Wang Feng's total strength was only more than 4,000, leaving 1,000 people to defend the city, Hong Xuanjiao brought 300 people to take on the task of blocking it, but in fact, the number of people involved in rescuing the Little Knife Society was only more than 3,000.

It is obviously not a good idea to attack the Qing army's position with such a small number of troops, and it is necessary to wait for news from Hong Xuanjiao.

Every two or three minutes, a row of solid bullets was fired, and although the casualties were extremely limited, the Qing army did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and could only pray that the shells would not fall on their heads.

Wang Feng arrived not long ago and was surrounded by a group of foreigners.

Ali Guo waved his arms sternly: "Mr. Wang Feng, you have invaded the concession without my permission, and you have violated the sovereignty of the British Empire, I ask you to immediately and unconditionally withdraw from the concession!" ”

The Taiping army broke into the British Concession and had nothing to do with the United States and France, as the French and American consuls in Shanghai, they naturally couldn't interject, on the contrary, they were a little puzzled by Wen Xian's expression.

In the past, the negotiation with Wang Feng was mainly with Wen Xian, but this time after Wen Xian was called away by Wang Feng in the morning, when he came back, he was not clear, and only said that Wang Feng provided a good idea for Alice to try to invest, so he was vague.

Is that not the case?

The eyes of the two looked at the past again and again, and Wang Feng also said coldly without showing weakness: "Mr. Aliguo, I reiterate once again that I, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, have not recognized the concession, but in order not to hurt the innocent and damage the interests of legitimate foreign businessmen in China, I have not taken back the concession for the time being, and this does not mean that I and my subordinates cannot step into the concession, please don't say it again, no matter how you protest, I must save the knife society, unless you use force to forcibly stop it, but the consequences arising from this should be borne by your side." ”

In fact, everyone present understands that with Wang Feng's character, since he is here, it is impossible to be scared away by a few words, besides, Britain, France and the United States do not have enough strength to stop Wang Feng in Shanghai, and they can't intervene in today's matter, and it's too late to sell Xu Naizhao's mini gun, whether it's good or bad, it's all up to Xu Naizhao to solve it himself, all they need is a statement, they need a step of non-interference!

Wen Xian thought for a while, and then said, "Mr. Wang Feng, do you know why there are so many refugees in the concession? The knife will kill them and divide their property, out of humanitarianism, the concession will take them in, and therefore encircle and suppress the knife club with the Qing army to prevent the knife club from breaking into the concession to do evil, if you release the knife club, how to guarantee the lives of the refugees? ”

Wang Fengyi said solemnly: "No one can arbitrarily deprive others of their legitimate and legitimate property, I don't agree with the behavior of the Little Knife Society, I have the ability to restrain the Little Knife Society, and then take a step back and say, the Little Knife will be surrounded by you, and may not take the people of the county town, how innocent are the trapped people?" Only by removing this bomb can Shanghai be restored! ”

Wen Xian talked about humanitarianism, Wang Feng also talked about humanitarianism, Wen Xian looked at Ali Guo and the others helplessly, and asked: "I would like to hear how you arrange the county seat of Shanghai, if your Taiping Heavenly Kingdom garrisons troops in the county, will the frequent entry and exit of the army have an impact on the concession?" ”

Wang Feng said without hesitation: "What I mean is that Shanghai does not have a single soldier, and the Shanghai people elect a management committee to exercise the right to administer it, and build Shanghai into a prosperous free port and a link between the East and the West in cultural and trade exchanges, I believe that the people of Shanghai have this ability, and I reserve the right to supervise the Shanghai County People's Government, set up a police agency in Shanghai to maintain law and order, and once corruption and dereliction of duty are discovered, they will be punished immediately!" ”

"Oh?" The four of them looked at each other, their faces were covered with a trace of solemnity, Wang Feng's subtext is not difficult to hear, that is, the more prosperous Shanghai is, the more foreigners come, the more convenient it is for him to introduce advanced Western technology, this kind of thing cannot be prevented by official control at all, as long as Wang Feng pays the starting price, there will always be people who can't withstand the temptation of huge profits, in comparison, temporarily giving up the county seat of Shanghai is nothing at all.

At the same time, the county seat of Shanghai is surrounded by concessions, unless Wang Feng recovers the concession, the garrison has no meaning, and the use of the concession for Wang Feng is obvious, it is his window of contact with the West, he is happy to be a favor, and temporarily hand over Shanghai to the people of Shanghai to manage!

Wen Xian looked at Wang Feng with complicated eyes, and said for a long time: "Mr. Wang Feng, I have seen the wisdom of politics in you, you always surprise me again and again, you are a tough opponent, we can not interfere in the matter of the knife meeting, but I hope you will not hurt the innocent, especially to ensure the safety of our British, French and American nationals." ”

"Rest assured, gentlemen, I said I would restrain the behavior of the Knife Society!" Wang Feng smiled slightly.

"I hope so!" Wen Xian nodded, and then turned his head to greet: "Gentlemen, let's go, don't delay business!" ”

Wen Xian's so-called business is naturally to go to Tianjing to negotiate with Yang Xiuqing, although it is almost a foregone conclusion that the knife will be rescued, which has a certain impact on them, but they don't have more than one card in their hand, and they can also provoke the relationship between Wang Feng and Yang Xiuqing!
