In fact, the Chinese at that time were not hostile to foreigners in general, and generally held a respectful attitude, and a few mercenary businessmen were willing to act as comprador lackeys, and the Little Knife Society and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom belonged to the former.

If you want to talk about the specific threat of the Little Knife Society, Jin Nengheng can't say why, for a while, he seemed a little at a loss, but Rawell smiled coldly: "Shanghai is a peaceful city, and there are a large number of expatriates from China, France, Britain and the United States in the concession, but the Little Knife Society will launch a riot, which will affect the commercial order and social order of Shanghai and the concession, causing heavy losses to the businessmen of our three countries, and the lives of overseas Chinese are also threatened, so we assist the Qing government to crack down on the Little Knife Society, which is a righteous move to maintain normal order!"

Earl is French, although he can understand English, but he is unable to express a long speech, so he speaks French, and the translator is about to say it to Wang Feng, Wang Feng has waved his hand, and said lightly in standard French: "Mr. Earwell, in addition to the crime you pointed out that the knife will be guilty, I will add two more points for you, how about it?" ”

"Huh?" Five pairs of turquoise eyes looked at each other, as a Chinese, Wang Feng can speak English, which is already very rare, but he can also speak fluent French, which is simply incomprehensible.

You must know that English belongs to the Germanic language family, while French belongs to the Latin language family, and the French system is large and delicately expressed, which is completely different from the rough branches and leaves of English, and the two will interfere with each other, which is recognized as difficult to learn in the Germanic language family.

Ra Er'er glanced at Wang Feng in surprise, then nodded and said, "Please speak!" ”

Wang Feng stretched out two fingers: "First, the Little Knife Society does not allow foreign merchants to sell opium ~~ tablets in Shanghai County, which affects the interests of the crow ~~ film merchants, and second, the Little Knife Society has not signed a traitorous treaty with you, Britain, the United States and France, which affects the expansion of your interests in China, and the Qing government is willing to sell more sovereignty to you, so you help the evil and participate in the suppression of the Little Knife Society uprising, I don't know if I am wrong?" ”

With the translation of the translator, everyone's faces changed, and Ali Guo said coldly: "Mr. Wang Feng, it seems that you have rejected our friendship?" ”

"Friendship?" Wang Feng chuckled: "You sell opium ~~ in our China, plunder raw materials, cultivate the comprador class to exploit and oppress the Chinese people, this is the so-called friendship?" The Chinese are kind, peace-loving, and welcome international friends who come with the goal of equality and reciprocity, but we do not welcome colonizers, let alone the banner of friendship and putting on a hypocritical face, in fact, to enslave our international bourgeoisie and its agents! ”

Jin Nengheng nodded and said: "Mr. Wang Feng, I understand what you mean, you are declaring war on us at the same time, the United States, Britain and France, personally, I admire your courage and patriotism, but I hope you can realize the huge difference in strength between us, so we allow you to take the materials in the city as trophies, this is our final limit!" ”

Jin Nengheng put on an ultimatum and declared war if he couldn't do it, "Wang Feng! Alice hurriedly persuaded: "I also admire you, but patriotism is not only a way to fight by force, if you want, I think my uncle can introduce you to the East India Company, with your talents, you will soon be able to get ahead, at that time, you will return to China to set up an industry, with the signboard of the East India Company, the Qing Dynasty from the government to the locality, no one dares to embarrass you, and you can start an industry to improve the lives of the people, and gradually implement the process of democratization from the bottom up, Can the same make your country rich and strong? Although it is a little slower, it is better to be safe, and it can put an end to unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice. ”

Wang Feng suddenly realized where did Ah Sange's non-violent non-cooperation movement come from, it turned out to be from their colonial master, Alice's mention is very impressive at first glance, take the road of saving the country with curves, and don't need to die too many people, but this is actually just a dose of chicken soup for the soul, and the colonists will let your country grow stronger and ignore it? Of course, it can't be said that Alice has other intentions, she may really have such naïve thoughts.

Wang Feng smiled and shook his head: "Miss Alice, thank you for your kindness, but I have to remind you that the world will not lose pie in vain, the self-improvement of any country and nation will inevitably be accompanied by blood and fire, and the wealth that cannot be self-improvement is just a delicious fat sheep, I don't want my motherland to fall to the tragic fate of being sheared for generations." ”

"That's a pity, but I still hope you can think about my proposal!" Alice understood what Wang Feng meant, but she didn't understand Wang Feng's persistence, and she was very disappointed.

Although Xu Naizhao and Wu Jianzhang had nothing to do with them from beginning to end, there was an interpreter who kept explaining, and as soon as Alice's voice fell, Wu Jianzhang sneered: "As a bandit, you should have been cut with a thousand knives, but Lord Yang was kind enough to spare your life and dared to make a big fuss, I don't know what is dead or alive!" ”

"Who doesn't know whether to live or die?" In an instant, Wang Feng was furious like thunder, and grabbed Wu Jianzhang's collar violently!

"You, you dog slave, dare to do it in front of a foreign adult? Let go! Wu Jianzhang shouted fearlessly.

Before coming, Wen Xian personally assured him and Xu Naizhao's safety, otherwise he wouldn't dare to negotiate with the bandits if he was given ten guts!

Sure enough, Wen Xian's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Mr. Wang Feng, Wu Daotai is a diplomat representing the Qing State to talk to you, please respect international law and exercise restraint!" ”

"Diplomats? Is he a traitor? Instead of letting go, Wang Feng moved his palm upwards and grabbed Wu Jianzhang's throat like a hoop!

Suddenly, Wu Jianzhang's face turned pig liver red, his throat gurgled, and he grabbed Wang Feng's wrist with both hands and tried to break away, but he was like a grasshopper shaking a tree, and he didn't move!

There was an obvious flicker of murderous intent in Wang Feng's eyes, Wu Jianzhang's face was getting redder and redder, and the struggle was becoming more and more intense, Wen Xian and the others' complexions were extremely ugly, if Wu Jianzhang was strangled to death under their noses, their faces would have nowhere to rest, just to show their sincerity, they didn't bring guns when they came to negotiate.

Ali Guo could only warn sharply: "Mr. Wang Feng, in the name of the British government, I ask you to release Wu Daotai immediately!" ”

Alice also stepped forward and pulled Wang Feng's arm: "Wang Feng, don't be impulsive, don't you have a saying in China that two countries are at war and don't kill them?" If you try to be quick for a while, it will only cause a bad impact in the international community and damage your reputation, listen to me, let him go first. ”

Wang Feng let go of his hand a little, and said lightly: "Wu Daotai, nicknamed Ah Shuang, is called Shuangguan by foreigners, started by selling chickens, is good at speculative drilling, smuggled opium ~~ pieces after coming to Shanghai, and invested in Qichang Foreign Bank, became one of the seven major shareholders of the bank, and then donated funds to obtain the qualification of the alternate Daotai, Daoguang 28 years, as Su Song Taidao, heir and Jiang Customs Superintendent, during his tenure, he has sold customs sovereignty and territorial sovereignty to Britain, the United States and France several times, have I wronged you?" ”
