448 Tianjin Port (1/2) (Page 1/1)

"Your Majesty the Emperor, your subjects, have killed the Hercules of my empire."

"I hope you can judge him with the law and exchange his corpse for the forgiveness of the Empire." Sir Srixia took out a silk scarf and wiped his hands, bent down, and said in a sincere tone.

In his opinion, those who dare to provoke the empire must pay with their lives.

Emperor Xianfeng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the Western envoys would be so inch-inch.

Use the life of the new champion of this imperial examination to appease the anger of foreigners?

What will the people of the world think of him?

You must know that Zhou Xingzu is fighting for the country, and he is also the martial champion he appointed.

Slap in the face.

This is a real slap in the face.

"Hmph, this contest is a duel that our two countries have agreed on. If the Western wrestler dies, it means that you foreigners have lost. Emperor Xianfeng paused for a moment, and then said: "Seeing the strength of the Qing Dynasty's martial arts, maybe we should start talking about the matter of returning the port of Tianjin." ”

Emperor Xianfeng bit his mouth and didn't let go, but it wasn't that his bones suddenly hardened.

Instead, it is necessary to ensure the final benefits, let the foreigners return the port of Tianjin, and let the warships retreat.

Shi Lixia smiled slightly, although a strong man died, in his opinion, the Qing Dynasty was still a loser. Because the truth is only within the range of the cannon.

No matter how strong the martial arts are!

And how can it be compared with artillery warships?

This is also the reason why the status of Western Hercules in the country is far less than that of Chinese grandmasters.

"Please use his corpse to appease the anger of the Empire."

"After signing this friendly and non-aggressive "Tianjin Treaty" between the two countries, the warships of our empire will naturally retreat. Otherwise, the footsteps of the coalition forces will set foot on your land. ”

Shi Lixia glanced at Zhou Xingzu proudly, and bent down to hand over a contract that had been prepared for a long time.

The eunuch standing with His Majesty Dan hurriedly stepped forward to take the contract and handed it to Emperor Xianfeng.

"Foreigners don't die in my heart." Emperor Xianfeng sneered and opened the contract. Every time he read a clause, his face became worse and worse, and finally he threw the contract on the ground and shouted: "The West bullies my country and is weak? ”

"Compensation of one million taels of silver, cedion of port trade rights, and want to set up a concession in Tianjin Port?"

"My land in the Qing Dynasty has been invaded, and I have to pay for the silver, haha, are foreigners only waiting to be slaughtered in the Qing Dynasty!"

After Emperor Xianfeng read this contract, he felt as if he had been stabbed by something in his mind.

He had a vague hunch that this contract would never be agreed upon.

Otherwise, the fortunes of the Qing Dynasty will take a sharp turn, and he will also be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, even if he is the emperor.

"Please calm your majesty's anger!"

Seeing Emperor Xianfeng's thunder and anger, the hundred officials in the palace all fell to the ground one after another.

Shi Lixia looked around the hall and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor, people's anger cannot be defeated by artillery. ”

"Not even the Great Qing Martial Arts."

Emperor Xianfeng was so angry that his hands trembled.

Zhou Xingzu shook his head, and his eyes were fixed on the Western envoy.

His words were like a bolt from the blue.

"The West deceived me, and no one in China called me!"

"I'd love to see the power of Western artillery!"

Shi Lixia was glared at him, and his heart jumped violently: "This person, do you want to challenge the power of the warship's cannon?" ”

Randomly relieved himself: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous for the people of a small country." ”

It is true that Zhou Xingzu has the power of one punch, and he can kill a strong man. But the power of artillery is by no means a human power that can be countered. With one shot, any Hercules will be bombarded into slag.

It is no wonder that the people of the decaying dynasty have such thoughts under their ignorance.

However, contrary to his imagination, Zhou Xingzu not only understood the power of artillery, but also knew the strength of science.

Under the torrent of science, let alone martial arts, even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens are suppressed to death. However, in the modern period, in the context of the first industrial revolution, "science" was just in its infancy.

Even the most powerful warship artillery is capable of suppressing "martial arts" at most.

Zhou Xingzu, as a human immortal, has no capital without challenges!

And his words also woke up Emperor Xianfeng.

"The world says that warships can sail thousands of miles and artillery can open up mountains, but I have never even seen the power of real artillery."

"In the past, there were some artillery pieces in the Praetorian Guard Battalion, but they were all things from the previous dynasty, or obsolete goods bought from the West. In terms of power alone, any martial artist in the hall can dismantle it with his bare hands. Emperor Xianfeng thought of this and snorted coldly.

"Even if I want to betray the country and seek peace, I must have the capital to make up my mind."

"You have to see the power of artillery."

Emperor Xianfeng gradually had a scale in his heart, if the warship artillery of the foreigners was really as powerful as it was written on the fold. It is not impossible to befriend foreigners with silver, and even give up a little national interest.

As long as it can be exchanged for the continuation of the Qing Dynasty, these are worth it.

But if the power of artillery, but Er'er, why let him betray the country?

Shi Lixia's eyes swept over the monarchs and ministers in the hall, and he really understood the current situation. But he was not worried, straightened his waist and said, "If Your Majesty the Emperor wants to go and see the power of artillery." ”

"Then please Your Majesty, move to Tianjin Port."

……

After the end of the temple examination, it was noon that day.

The palace gate of the Forbidden City was wide open, and there were more than 10,000 people in total, including 2,000 guards and garrisons in Beijing, and hundreds of civil and military officials. Depart from the capital and go straight to Tianjin Port.

The people of the capital couldn't help but be a little stunned when they saw this fanfare.

"Isn't it a palace test for martial arts today?"

"It stands to reason that after the palace examination is over, the gold list should be posted."

"Looks like Your Majesty is going on a safari?"

Many well-informed wealthy businessmen and gentlemen watched the soldiers and horses step on the pipeline to Tianjin, and suddenly thought in their hearts: "Could it be that Your Majesty is going to Tianjin Port?" ”

"Isn't it occupied by Western ships?"

Zhou Xingzu straddled a white horse, followed by the royal car, followed by a group of new scholars.

His mind was on the system.

The fifth ring story mission [Recovering Tianjin Port] has been triggered, and the mission can be completed by repelling the Western Fleet and recovering Tianjin Port.

"One person singles out the cannon? I didn't expect that I would come this far. Zhou Xingzu secretly said in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little excited.

Sir Srixia, who came from the West, followed on horseback and sneered: "Only when this group of backward fools sees the power of cannons will they really know the strength of the empire." ”

"You can see at once that these fools are trembling in front of the cannons. When the time comes, they should be counted as 100,000 taels of silver. ”
