Chapter 390: Big Lawn Mower or Fertilizer Electricity?
Tian Buzi's weekly send-off of the fallen intelligence officers at the docks has been in the newspapers at home and abroad, and there is no one better at putting on a show in public than these people who have traveled from the twenty-first century of the information explosion.

Former micro-film director Feng Yunyi blended various scenes from Hollywood blockbusters to create a set of solemn rather than solemn ceremonies. This ritual was not only used at the funerals of the National Heroes Cemetery on the Liaodong Peninsula, but also began to be accompanied by fanfare when the remains of these heroes were brought back from the port of Tianjin.
The coffins draped in unicorn flags were escorted onto ships by Indigenous soldiers dressed in Marine Corps uniforms without rank insignia, and a band played mourning music on the docks, and the coffins were lifted to say goodbye to the fallen intelligence officers.
This kind of scene attracted many indigenous people to come to watch, not only the locals of Tianjin Wei love to see this lively, but even merchants from all over the country will go to the dock to see the world. Although it is not an auspicious thing for the Chinese people to see the funeral of the dead in this era, why are the big soldiers who have died on the battlefield for thousands of years, all of them hastily buried things on the spot, where have you ever seen such a big battle?
Tianjin Wei and Beiping were just a little bit away, and Cixi soon learned what Tian Buzi had done at Tianjin Wei Wharf. The old witch unexpectedly dropped something again, and she was a chicken thief in this respect, and immediately saw the purpose of crossing the hearts of the people.
One by one, the old fox was sent from the Forbidden City to the desk of Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, but the old fox still dragged it out. The old fox first decided to carry out Cixi's decree to investigate and deal with the "pseudo-Song Dynasty" on the pretext that there were many foreigners, cargo ships and ships on this wharf, and it was inconvenient to send troops. Then, on the grounds of the deceased, he persuaded Lafayette to be merciful and let go of the funeral of the "pseudo-Song" personnel.
In the traditional concept of the Chinese people, the dead are the greatest, and if it is not for some blood and sweat, few people will harass the deceased to complete the last journey in this world. Li Hongzhang, a traditional literati, really doesn't want to be labeled as making trouble at other people's funerals, these people all died in the battle with Mao Zi, no matter how you say it, it is also due to this nation, and it is a moral flaw for Li Hongzhang to block them, and he will not do it.
Besides, Li Hongzhang in his twilight years really felt that he no longer had the ability to mend the broken house of the Qing Dynasty that was leaking everywhere, and the change of dynasty was already an irreversible end in his heart, he didn't want to be labeled as a Tartar eagle dog after a hundred years and become a traitor like Qin Hui.
Accustomed to the 21st century media campaign, it is impossible for Tian Buzi to put on a show at the dock every week in vain. All the newspapers under the control of the public or in which they have a stake publish the news of these ceremonial funerals, and those media that are not directly controlled by them use diplomatic funds to buy them, and in any case, they are published in newspapers at home and abroad, and most of them are accompanied by engravings depicting these scenes.
The news sent back by the secret agent sent by the old witch outside the palace shows that many people are discussing this matter, and there are too few things for the poor to entertain these days. Heroes, thick burials, and raising orphans and widows are the most popular elements in the common people's mountains, how can you ban them and still manage the heat of other people's tongues?
The old witch saw that this momentum was not right, and if it continued like this, the "pseudo-Song Dynasty" would become a sympathetic and righteous orthodoxy in the mouths of the common people, and their Qing Dynasty would become that unsympathetic foreign regime. It's just that there are very few people who die in the "pseudo-Song" every time they start a war, and this time they have the energy to engage in these gimmicks. However, I will lose every battle in the Qing Dynasty, and countless people will die, so I have to paste silver to cut the land, where can I afford this kind of trick?
It's not easy to seal the mouth of the world, can't I block the source of this thing? Li Hongzhang, the old fox, can't I do it myself? Cixi, who had already fallen into paranoia, played the trick of assassination again.
Originally, this kind of thing was going to pass through the hands of Rong Lu, although this thing was kidnapped by the traversers, but I don't know what spell he used, which will win the favor of Cixi again. If this assassination had been handed over to him, it would not have made the officials of the Executive Committee so angry. However, Tian Buzi's show in Tianjin Wei was regarded by many Manchus in the capital as a major event that shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and many Manchus ran to the old witch to ask for his life, but this matter fell into the hands of a certain prince.
Although the heroic and romantic Timbuzi refused to wear bulletproof vests to attend the send-off ceremony for the deceased agents, John's security measures were good enough. Tian Buzi kept a safe distance from the crowd of onlookers from the time he got out of the car to the time he presided over the ceremony, which was basically outside the effective range of the pistol in this era.
The Assassin, who had already patronized the send-off ceremony three times, could hardly find any opportunity to assassinate Tian Buzi, and in the end, the Assassin was also forced to rush through the crowd with the help of his accomplices, control the British soldiers who were maintaining order at the dock, and rushed to Tian Buzi, who was bidding farewell to the coffin one by one by the British merchant ship at the dock.
At the end of the 19th century, the Manchurians couldn't even figure out the more advanced things of the foreigners, so how would they know that there was such a thing as a sniper rifle! Before the Assassins could draw their guns, Everett shot them in the chest with a sniper rifle from a height of 400 meters.
In fact, the Assassin was more than a beat slower than the Assassin was more than a beat slower than the Assassin was actually shot twice, and Timbuzi reflexively fired a 9mm pistol round into his chest. In other words, even if Everett missed, the Assassins had no chance of succeeding.
The only gunshot that rang out at the send-off was the silver-white Browning M1935 in Tian Buzi's hand, but the scene began to be chaotic before the Assassin was shot due to the Assassin's accomplices charging the British soldiers who were maintaining order at the scene. The onlookers did not know if Tian Buzi had been injured by the Assassins, and by the time the Indigenous Task Force surrounded Tian Buzi and took him away, more people suspected that the high-ranking official of the Great Song Dynasty had been injured by the Assassins.
"I suggest sending the AC-130U to carry out the bombing, the large lawn mower has a pressurized chamber, which can be used to cruise at high altitude to save fuel and facilitate long-distance missions. The on-board weapons on it can carry out relatively precise strikes to avoid causing additional casualties. Lu Xiangyang proposed at the meeting.
"But the movement of the big lawn mower is too big, it will expose our ability to strike from a long distance, which is contrary to our policy of introducing the great powers into the era of giant ships and cannons!" Zhao Yi said.
"But our 'fat electricity' is a B-shaped little short leg, can it reach the Forbidden City?" Lu Xiangyang asked.
