Chapter 107: Assassination
"Alas, this Chinese emperor is really annoying. It is ridiculous that he came to us and demanded that our British government bow to him and extort 50 million taels of silver from us. We are an empire on which the sun never sets, and we have never bowed our heads. We are the strongest. Marti thought confidently.
He was from the Department of Finance in London, so he knew some secrets that many people didn't know.
"Oh, are you so confident? Or are you people in the British Empire so confident? A relaxed voice appeared behind him.
At this time, Marti suddenly turned around inexplicably.
When he turned around, he was directly stunned.
At some point, behind him, stood a young man in a black robe.
The appearance of the young man.
Marti though has not seen it.
But!
He's seen the picture!
Damn it!
This is the Chinese Emperor!
It is said that people who can't even be defeated with a machine gun!
I heard that in the far east, with the strength of one person, the people of the Eight-Nation Alliance were defeated!
He's Satan!
He's a demon!
Why did this demon suddenly stand behind him!
Marti only felt that his hands and feet were cold.
His complexion also became quite ugly.
"Yo, why did your face become so ugly all of a sudden? Know that I'm here to kill you?" He Xuan was also slightly stunned: "Then, I'm going to praise you, your powerful sixth sense." Really pretty good sixth sense. ”
Marti felt even more cold in his hands and feet, and his face was ugly: "No, no, you don't kill me." I'm a good person, I'm just an insignificant little person. ”
"There are a few mistakes in what you say. First, you are not an insignificant person, you are a middle and high-level bureaucrat. Second, you're really not a good person. If embezzling millions of pounds is a good person in this day and age, there are few people who are not good people. He Xuan sighed.
A million pounds will be a great asset in the Hereafter.
In the present year of 874, it is even more remarkable property. It is equal to hundreds of millions of pounds, or even hundreds of millions of pounds in later generations.
Shakespeare once wrote about a million-pound, which is about a guy who suddenly gets a million-pound and goes crazy and all sorts of fun happens. The millions of pounds of that era, which was equivalent to billions of pounds, would indeed be insane.
"I can give you all my money, all of it, don't kill me. Marti shouted repeatedly.
Brush!
A sword light flashed.
Marti's head fell to the ground.
His eyes widened, and he was not willing to die.
He Xuanchang sighed: "Brother, what's the use of asking for your money? I took the pounds to China, and it was useless. All I need is gold and silver. ”
And Marti, in fact, is just the beginning.
Then, there were more British ministers, who died in the hands of He Xuan.
Some of these ministers, like Marti, have not had time to bring bodyguards. Others brought dozens or hundreds of bodyguards. But it's useless, in the face of a killing god like He Xuan, what's the use of bringing a hundred bodyguards? It's just a matter of sending some heads. It does not allow the vitality of these ministers and officials to increase by even one percent.
The ministers have been killed so much that everyone is terrified.
Therefore, these ministers proposed to Queen Victoria: "This Chinese emperor is a madman! Let's not provoke a madman, admit it, and pay him 50 million taels of silver." Of course, you can discuss the contract with him, and we will admit that we will lose money and not publicize it to the outside world. I think he is just asking for money, so he should be able to accept it. ”
When Queen Victoria heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little moved. It's not the same thing that she's been watching her ministers get killed.
"Impossible!" The military personnel directly denied: "We, the British Empire, is the number one power in the world, and there has never been a reason to surrender to a single person. Not before, not now, and not in the future. ”
"We're not going to throw in the towel. ”
"If he wants the Chinese emperor to fight, we will fight him!"
The hawks in the military are very clear.
They are really confident.
Oh, yes!
To put it bluntly, there is no sense of security as many bodyguards can be around civil officials. Most of the officers live directly in the barracks. No matter how many civil officials die, it's their business.
However, this is the year 874, this era, these countries in Europe, are all countries that are supreme by force, the army and navy are constantly invading the whole world, and constantly losing a steady stream of benefits back to their own countries.
Therefore, in these countries, civil servants actually have no status.
The officers and military attaches decided to continue to fight with He Xuan to the end, and no matter what the civilian officials said, it had no effect.
The civil servants could only continue to cry helplessly.
The small arms of these civilian officials can't move the thighs of the officers at all.
Miserable! Miserable!
......
Civilian John, who was a government official, was also a high-ranking bureaucrat.
He's so bitter.
I can't live this day.
At home, his wife was cheating with others, but he was still a powerful military attache opposite.
And this time, the civil officials collectively decided to compromise, admit it, and pay the 50 million silver. But on the contrary, the officers and military attaches just don't recognize this planting. Therefore, the person who is now being pointed at by He Xuan with a sword is a civil official like him.
John was about to cry!
Life is too hard.
"Dog's Day Officer!FUK!" John exposed a classic national curse, and his mood was really bad.
"You seem to be upset. ”
"yes, I'm in a terrible mood. John thought that the person who spoke was someone he knew well. I saw the man standing not far ahead, dressed in a black robe.
"Who are you?" said John, disapprovingly.
The black-robed man raised his hand, revealing a handsome face.
John's face froze suddenly.
This is the man..
Yes!
That's him!
Terrible people!
The Emperor of China!
Lord of the Taiping Army!
Satan!
Devil!
"It's you!" John's voice became rather ugly, and his face changed drastically.
"Yo, it seems that you recognize me, so, are you ready to die?" He Xuan held his hand on the hilt of the sword and said lightly. As an assassin, he was quite good and allowed the other side to say the last words.
"Wait, wait. I have something to say, and maybe you won't kill me when you're done. John said right away.
"Oh? interesting, let me hear it. He Xuan actually didn't care, he killed the other party a little later. Anyway, no matter what, the opponent can't escape from the palm of his hand.
"Actually, we, the ministers of the British Empire, are already collectively willing to surrender to you and admit defeat. ”
