Pan An and Zhang Guoliang were relatively speechless, they didn't expect that the Jiangnan camp of Nuoda had really disappeared, and now the anti-thieves surrounded them, and the cannonballs had to be smashed as if they didn't want money.

Thinking that he was abandoned by his benefactor Xiang Rong, Zhang Guoliang was really shocked and bitter in his heart, he was promoted today thanks to Xiang Rong, but it was Xiang Rong who abandoned him.

"Now that you are under siege, Mr. Zhang, you have always been resourceful, hurry up and think of a way!" Pan An looked at Zhang Guoliang in a daze now, bubbling anxiously.

"Now that he has been surrounded by many people, even if Xiang Yu is resurrected, there is only one way to kill himself."

When Pan An heard the self-slaughter, he subconsciously touched his neck, and said with a shudder: "Brother Zhang, are you kidding, after we joined forces, there were more than 20,000 people, and there were only 30,000 or 40,000 thieves outside, even if it was two to one, half of us should have escaped from Lu?" ”

Zhang Guoliang smiled bitterly: "Do you think this is gambling, and half of the people are still alive?" It will take five days for the nearest reinforcements to arrive, not to mention that they are not afraid to come, and there is no one outside to answer, how far do you think we can run? There are a lot of anti-thieves, foreign guns and artillery, and all the officers and soldiers are terrified! ”

Pan An also saw the green battalion soldiers lying outside the camp, squatting to avoid the shells, and said tentatively: "So far, I think of Xiang Yu, I refuse to cross the Jiangdong, why is Xiang Yu so stupid, now there is a boat to pick me up, I will follow immediately." Do you really have to surrender to save your life? ”

Zhang Guoliang shook his head and said: "Since I surrendered to the imperial court, the imperial court has been very kind to me, besides, I don't want to be a capricious villain, I want to surrender?" Master Pan, please take care of yourself! ”

Pan An got up and saw that no one was approaching outside the tent, and came back and whispered, "Ha Luha...... Brother Zhang is too worried, my family of seventy-two is all in my thoughts, how can I bear to abandon them! I just tested you just now, I have a clever plan to get out, I don't know if Brother Zhang is willing to give it a try? ”

Zhang Guoliang suddenly came to the spiritual person and asked, "What way?" Hurry up. ”

Pan An whispered in Zhang Guoliang's ear: "We divided all the soldiers and horses of the big battalion to a few deputy generals, generals, and guerrillas, so that they could break through the siege, and said that there were reinforcements near the big camp to respond, so that they could resist desperately, we disguised ourselves as pawns and mixed in the army, there must be no one to think, secretly leave the battlefield, and then become civilians, and we can rush to Suzhou in less than two days, where there are many soldiers and strong cities, and they must not have fallen." ”

Seeing Zhang Guoliang's doubts, Pan An added: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I have used this method several times, and I have escaped safely every time." ”

"If the court investigates it, won't it be punished! A lifetime of wisdom is ruined! Zhang Guoliang couldn't accept this method

Pan An sneered: "Brother Zhang, you are still too tender, the officialdom pays attention to reporting good news and not bad news, and officials protect each other, besides, now that the Jiangnan camp has been broken, the court will investigate it, and it will also be investigated...... Big official, a little shrimp like us, as long as you spend a little money, you can fool it. ”

Li Yunzhong heard that there were foreigners in Nanjing again, and handed over the task of besieging the Qing army in Longtan to Zhang Suimou, and he led the foreign gun team to return to Nanjing first.

Li Yunzhong thought that Midile had brought another batch of arms to sell, but he didn't expect to see ministers from several countries.

The British minister Wen Han, the French minister Bourblon, and the American minister Mai Lian said that they had come to discuss with Li Yunzhong whether the Han army should attack Shanghai.

Mai Lian first apologized to Li Yunzhong: "Dear His Royal Highness King Han, I am extremely sorry for what the former Minister Marshall did, and now he has been dismissed by Mr. President, and I am the new Minister to China. ”

Li Yunzhong said: "What about your attitude in the United States? Or are you ready to help the Qing Demon? ”

Mai Lian shook her head: "We in the United States absolutely do not want to interfere in the civil wars of other countries, whether it is the Han State or the Qing State, the United States has a neutral attitude, please rest assured of this." ”

"Then should the gunboats you leased to the Qing army in Shanghai also be recovered?" Li Yunzhong is about to attack Shanghai, and he wants to minimize the trouble, "And I heard that you have organized a volunteer team of thousands of people in Shanghai, are you going to occupy Shanghai?" ”

Wen Han heard Li Yunzhong say the key point, and explained: "We don't want Shanghai to be in flames, please understand this, no matter how prosperous the city is, it will be destroyed by the war in an instant, and you don't want to get a pile of ruins!" ”

Li Yunzhong immediately retorted: "I'd rather get a pile of ruins than fall into the hands of the Qing Demon." ”

Shanghai has surpassed Guangzhou in terms of trade exports and the number of residents, and has become the center of foreigners' activities in China, and Li Yunzhong will not give up the occupation of Shanghai under any circumstances.

Wen Han shook his head, "So we formed a volunteer team, we don't want Shanghai to become a ruin, our countries are responsible for the order of Shanghai, and no other troops are allowed to enter Shanghai!" ”

Li Yunzhong didn't want this to be a conflict with the two powers of Britain and France, but Shanghai was unwilling to give up like this, and pretended to be tough and said: "You must know that there is no army south of the Yangtze River that can stop the advance of the Han army, that is, the Jiangnan camp outside Nanjing, which is stationed with 100,000 of the most elite soldiers of the Qing Demon, which has been completely wiped out by me today, and I am ready to capture Jiangsu and Zhejiang next, please think carefully!" ”

Burbulon exclaimed: "Impossible, your Han Kingdom only has less than 50,000 troops, how can you destroy so many Qing troops, you must know that Lu Dao also met with their representatives the day before yesterday, and they said that the Jiangnan camp is as stable as a mountain!" ”

Li Yunzhong replied: "Gentlemen, will I use this method to deceive you? As soon as you inquire, you will know that I am not lying, Mr. Bourblon, what did you just say? Representatives of the Gangnam battalion? ”

Wen Han and Mai Lian looked at Bourblon angrily together. Blaming him for not being so uncomposed, Wen Han was afraid that Burbulon would tell the news of the guns they sold to the Qing Kingdom, so he took the lead and said: "It was the governor of Jiangnan Daying who sent someone to inquire about why His Highness's subordinates have so many foreign guns, whether our countries sold them to you, and asked us to terminate our cooperation with you." ”

Mai Lian said: "That general named Feng Zicai knows us very well, of course he is not as good as Your Highness, so we discussed stopping the sale of guns to you, whether it is the Han army or the Qing army." ”

Li Yunzhong forced himself to calm down, he had expected that there would be today, these foreigners wish that the Chinese would fight to the death by themselves, hum! If it doesn't work, I'll engage in smuggling.

Marx said that if there is a profit of 10 percent, capital will be ready to move; With 100 percent profits, capital gets carried away; And with a profit of 300 percent, then the gallows can be done. I give them 400 percent of the benefits, and I don't believe they can't bring muskets and cannons!

"What is the purpose of your visit today? You don't want to tell me the news, you guys make a special trip! Li Yunzhong asked

"We are extremely sorry for this decision, this is a domestic order, and we must obey it, but the benefits you promised us, Your Royal Highness, have changed, and you must fulfill the terms of the agreement."

Li Yunzhong didn't expect the foreigners of this era to be so shameless, stopped all their movements, looked at a few of them, and repeated their meanings, "That is, you can violate the provisions of the treaty, and I must abide by it, is this what you mean?" ”

Wen Han said: "I'm sorry, it's a pity, we only violated the ...... of selling weapons to you."

"This is what I like the most, and everything else is incidental." Li Yunzhong interrupted rudely, and then sneered: "If you are willing to sell me the gun production line, it will not be considered a violation of the agreement." ”
