Chapter 494: The Shock Brought by the Yangtze River
Li Shouchun said firmly, but Yang Xiuqing did not dare to be careless, it can be said that his net worth and life are all on it, the current shape of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is extremely complicated, the Taiping Army, the Democratic Alliance Army and the Qing Army are intertwined, the slightest omission is a catastrophe, really to calculate, although the Taiping Army is outnumbered, but the weapons, ammunition and artillery are lacking, and the Democratic Alliance Army is not comparable, even compared to the Qing Army, it is slightly inferior, but the shape is in front of it, and the Jiangnan Jiangbei camp must be attacked!
More than a year ago, Wang Feng led thousands of democratic alliance troops to attack Tianjing, robbed thousands of Wang Niang and 100,000 taels of gold, and also plundered the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, which was not only a shame, but also a heavy blow to the prestige of the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
After a while, Yang Xiuqing said slowly: "The camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei is already at the end of the crossbow, so there is nothing to be afraid of, but the Democratic Alliance Army cannot be unguarded, and more scouts must be sent to investigate, and it is necessary to find out whether Wang Feng is in Suzhou or not, and it is better to postpone the attack than to go on any errands, and at the same time, the deployment of troops and the raising of ammunition, food and grass must be carried out in secret, and no one must be alarmed!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone in the hall also understood that the matter was important, and they all responded with their fists in the right color.
With the direction of action, Yang Xiuqing seemed to see some hope and felt better, so he clapped his hands alternately!
With two snaps, the sound of silk and bamboo rose, singing and dancing Ji sang and danced into the hall, how to say that today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter how smooth it is, then the road ahead is bumpy, but it is always lively, isn't it auspicious?
All of a sudden, laughter and laughter in the hall resumed, of course. Whether it comes from the heart, or is it a strong face. Only he knows it, but in the Wujin Sheng family's mansion. It's also full of laughter, and it sounds very real.
The eldest son and eldest grandson are both in important positions in the Democratic Alliance Army, and it is a little hard, but who is not hard at the beginning of the business? The rest of the sons also sneaked back to Suzhou one after another to do things for the Democratic Alliance, although the grandchildren are not as promising as Sheng Xuanhuai, but they are still working hard, almost the whole family of the Sheng family is working for the Democratic Alliance, according to the strong momentum of the Democratic Alliance, the prosperity of the Sheng family is already ironclad. What could be more joyful than being the head of a family?
Wang Feng has repeatedly affirmed that in the future, China will practice democratic government, and the current government will also advance on the road of democracy and the rule of law, thus preventing the recurrence of the tragedy of the founding emperors of all Chinese dynasties who killed their heroes.
If you make a mistake, there is a legal sanction, and it is not that the emperor feels threatened to make you move, which is clearly more effective than Danshu iron coupons. Sheng Long felt that he was born in a good era, at least he didn't have to tremble in the face of the emperor of the new dynasty, and his family was prosperous and would return to heaven in the future. In the face of the ancestors and ancestors, he could also puff up his chest and speak, and he couldn't help but brush his beard and smirk.
"Grandfather. What do you enjoy? Sheng Xuanmei picked up a beef tenderloin and chewed it slowly. He asked curiously.
Two years have passed, and Sheng Xuanmei should be convex. The warped warp, the figure is slender, about one meter in his early sixties, the face inherits the genes of the Sheng family, with a hint of aura in the delicate, especially the pair of beautiful big eyes add a charm to her, in addition to the body is not as full as the woman, from all aspects, has become a slim girl.
Sheng Long's heart moved, and asked: "Xuanmei, tomorrow you will be sixteen, and it is time to get married, and when the spring begins, see if there is a suitable family, and grandfather will tell you one." ”
"Don't want it, Xuanmei's silkworm hybrid project is a critical period, so I don't want to get married so early." Sheng Xuanmei's face immediately turned red, but she couldn't help but feel Wang Feng's figure in her heart, there has been no news for two years, it is impossible to say that she is not worried and doesn't miss it at all.
After all, Wang Feng personally treated her feet, and in the minds of ancient women, feet were a very private part, second only to the chest and buttocks, ranking third in importance, and being pinched by Wang Feng was equivalent to losing half of her chastity.
She can talk and laugh with Wang Feng without any trouble, or it can be understood as flirting, although she doesn't know if this is love, but she dares to tell herself that she is very relaxed and happy when she gets along with Wang Feng!
In addition, there is another point, that is, she can't forget the embarrassing scene before Wang Feng left, and the big bite that bit Wang Feng fiercely!
"Hmph, I'm afraid Sister Xuanjiao hasn't bitten you, you deserve it, who told you to provoke me?" Thinking of that big mouthful, Sheng Xuanmei couldn't help but feel a little proud, and a trace of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes, falling in the eyes of others, this is clearly the appearance of a girl with a spring.
Sheng Long was a little stunned, and Zhang hurriedly reminded: "Old man, what nonsense are you talking about, who wants you to be troublesome?" Have you forgotten Commander Wang? You dare to marry Xuanmei, do you see if Commander Wang will come back and find you desperate! ”
"Oh~~" Sheng Long suddenly realized, waved his hand and said: "Hehe, I'm old, confused, confused!"
Sheng Xuanhuai also slapped the table and shouted: "Sister Xuanmei, don't worry, Wang Feng has been abroad for almost two years, I pinched my fingers during the day, he should come back after the New Year, and then find someone to tell you a matchmaker, you can marry as soon as possible!" ”
Sheng Xuanmei's face was as red as a ripe peach, and she was ashamed and annoyed: "What does it have to do with me if he doesn't come back, I didn't say I wanted to marry him, hum!" Don't say hello to anyone before leaving! ”
The last sentence betrayed Sheng Xuanmei's mind, and the elders in the banquet, and even the younger brothers and sisters who entrusted her, all showed ambiguous smiles, in their opinion, Sheng Xuanmei and Wang Feng were a match made in heaven!
Although Wang Feng has several women, what kind of background is that? There are street performers, Yang Xiuqing's relatives, those who sing small songs, poor households in Nanjing, and a foreign woman, how can they be compared with Sheng Xuanmei's status as a lady?
Moreover, Wang Feng and Hong Xuanjiao did not hold any ceremony, but just said it verbally, which shows that Sheng Xuanmei has the possibility of becoming the queen, in short, Sheng Xuanmei and Wang Feng are the best match!
Sheng Xuanmei's mother Liu said with a smile on her face: "Xuanmei, don't be embarrassed, my daughter always has to get married when she is older, I was carried into the Sheng family when I was sixteen years old, I think Commander Wang and you are indeed very suitable, the two of you met three years ago, this shows that there is fate, and you are in love, and when Commander Wang comes back, I will ask a respected old master to settle the family affairs for you." ”
"Mom, you're not serious, Xuanmei won't eat it!" Sheng Xuanmei didn't even dare to raise her head, stomped her feet violently, and ran out with a smoke.
"Come on, come on, the girl's family is tender-skinned, we eat ours!" Sheng Long smiled and raised his wine glass and greeted him repeatedly.
Children and grandchildren are raising their glasses accordingly!
The New Year was lively and lively, but Wang Feng was deserted there, and stayed overnight in the port of Singapore on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and early the next morning, that is, on February 7, 1856, the fleet left Singapore, went north along the coastline of Vietnam, crossed the Qiongzhou Strait, arrived in Hong Kong after 15 days, stayed in Hong Kong for a day, continued north the next day, passed through the Taiwan Strait, and when he came to the vicinity of the Zhoushan Islands, he was stopped by the East China Sea Fleet, but with Wang Feng there, naturally there would be no conflict, on the contrary, Wang Feng also called Boss Chen, Consultations with the naval commanders of Sardinia on joint exercises between the two navies.
The Sardinian side was very happy to agree, jokingly, the Democratic Alliance has the most advanced warship in the world today, General Li Guangbi, although Sardinia is small and weak, and has no ability to build giant battleships, but the technology of General Li Guangbi is not moved by them, and they have figured it out, at least it can be applied to their own small and medium-sized frigates.
Wang Feng refused the kindness of Boss Chen to send a ship to escort him, and ordered the East China Sea warships not to leak the news of his return to China, but only quietly greeted the Jiangfang troops so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Today's Yangtze River is no longer a place where foreign warships can enter and exit at will.
Due to the need for secrecy, Wang Feng did not even enter Xiangshan Port, and continued to go north in the evening of the same day, and when he entered the mouth of the Yangtze River, the time came to March 5.
Entering the mouth of the Yangtze River also means that it is about to set foot on the land of China, although the weather in early March is still cold, especially on the river, the wind and waves are urgent, but everyone walked out of the cabin, Wang Feng and others are naturally difficult to suppress homesickness, and Mrs. Cavour and Amanda's family are full of curiosity about China.
Holding on to the side of the boat, Amelia was stunned, and then screamed, "Oh my God, is this the river?" How can it be so wide, my God, it is enough to be as wide as dozens of Taiwuz rivers! ”
When most people see the Yangtze River for the first time, the first thing that comes to mind is magnificent, especially the Yangtze River estuary is dozens of kilometers wide, the river bank looms, it is indeed shocking, relatively speaking, the general width of the rivers in Europe is not more than one kilometer, and the Yangtze River can not be compared!
Amanda and Bill were also full of disbelief, and Amanda even murmured: "This is China? Oh, it's spectacular, it's beautiful! ”
Think about it, the beauty of the Yangtze River, rough with beauty, this is the small mountains and rivers in Europe are far from comparable, coupled with the European people in the sewage cross-flow, haze environment, at first glance see China's green mountains and clear water and blue sky and white clouds, how can you not sigh?
Zhou Yanqi proudly took it and said: "The Yangtze River is 6,400 kilometers long, with a basin area of 1.8 million square kilometers, running through southern China, and there are countless scenic spots along the way, but it is a pity that our Democratic Alliance only occupies the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but one day, we will unify the whole of China, Amelia, and I will take you all the way to the source of the Yangtze River." ”
"Hmm!" Amelia nodded happily.
Lin Youniang was not happy, and pinched Zhou Yanqi hard, obviously because Zhou Yanqi ignored herself.
Zhou Yanqi hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "Let's go together!" ”
Lin Youniang just lost a look that counted your acquaintance.
"Humph! There is a teacher, there must be a disciple! Angelina rolled her eyes at Wang Feng, shook her head and said: "The first time I came to China was in the middle of the night, it was dark all around, I couldn't see anything, and a lot of things happened later, so when I saw the Yangtze River again, I didn't have that state of mind, and it was a pity to think about it." ”
Madame Cavour reproached: "You child is really bold, but fortunately God will protect you, and you will not be allowed to do this in the future." ”
"Got it!" Angelina spat out her little pink tongue. (To be continued......)
