The foreigners on the opposite side burst into laughter. However, the gunfire demonstration was over, but it was still in the hands of those foreign soldiers.

The foreign soldiers approached this side, and the people on this side, under the leadership of the city lord, were all in a harmless state with their hands held high.

A high-nosed soldier in the foreign soldiers walked over, holding the mouth of a spear on the face of the city lord, and the city lord did not dare to move, only said in foreign language: "Lord Yang, we really want to take refuge in you, and there is no fraud in the slightest." Only you can lead us to a heavenly life!"

The foreigner said in a foreign language: "Very good, we are going to enter your city now and see what you can give!"

After arriving at the city government, the foreigners checked the list of things presented by the city lord and merchants, and the leader of the foreigner frowned and said: "You Eastern country is rich and luxurious, why is your city poor here?"

The city lord immediately cried on behalf of the merchants and said, "Lord Yang doesn't know, we have just taken out of the robbers here and robbed our merchants of their money!"

Lord Yang said: "Then you will open another list and see how much the robbers have robbed you just now?"

The lord of the city and all the merchants were overjoyed, and thought that the foreigners were going to stand up for them. Half an hour later, together they had put together a list of losses with some moisture. I gave this list to Yoshi-sama.

After seeing it, Smith looked happy, pointed to the list and said: "You have collected this wealth for us, and you give so much every year, we don't care about your specific affairs!"

The city lord immediately lowered his face and said, "No, Lord Yang, we have accumulated so many losses over the years, and it is not possible to gather so much wealth in one year. ”

He knew his own city, and he knew how much wealth he could loot!

"No, Lord Yang, you want to leave us a way to live!"

Mr. Smith, a foreigner, suddenly changed his face, and with a wave of his hand, the foreign soldiers who came with him were holding weapons again, pointing at these people together.

Smith said after a while: "Are you saying that we are not even as good as the robbers, or do you just want to bring us in and deal with the robbers!"

The words are poked at the point, and the real situation is so unbearable. Under the direct threat of death, the city lord and the merchants who came all had beads of sweat on their faces. I didn't dare to say half a word, so I had to bear it.

Finally pacified these foreign adults, and the city lord faced the encirclement and suppression of the merchants.

"My lord, do we really have to follow the way of foreigners? There is no way to live these years!"

The city lord was also annoyed and said: "You accuse me of blaming me and blaming me, I don't have to do the position of this city lord, what kind of opinion do you have?"

A merchant said: "If we really want to do this, we might as well move to the capital according to the robbers." ”

The city lord suddenly changed color and said, "Do those robbers who came really mean to drive you to the capital like this?"

All the merchants nodded wildly.

The city lord sat down in his seat and said, "It's over, it's over." A small city like ours has become a victim of the struggle between everyone and foreigners in the capital. ”

There was a godless light in his eyes, and his mouth kept muttering, "It's over, it's over!"

The hearts of the merchants were even louder, as if they had been drawn into a great dispute in the world.

A merchant approached the city lord and said, "Then, my lord, are you still a person who understands and shows us the way, what should we do in the future?"

The city lord suddenly looked like an old man with vicissitudes of life, waved his hand and said, "You can go wherever you want! I will go to another city to discuss how to deal with such a thing!"

A few days later, Smith and other foreigners came to the city, but they found that it was empty, and then walked on the street, and found that many merchants were swept away. The whole city is full of ordinary citizens who are still living diligently without knowing the situation.

The foreigners were angry, and one said: "How did these Chinese, one by one, use such soft confrontation to deal with our great foreigners?"

Some foreign soldiers even rushed into some small shops that were still open, pointed guns at the people inside, and said in foreign language: "Where are the people? Where have they gone?"

The language barrier was the biggest difficulty, and for a time there were chickens and dogs jumping and chaos all over the city.

This river city is just one of many chaotic cities.

In the capital, Hai Lanzhu was doing government affairs on Zhu Zhao's body, and suddenly General Dule came in from outside. Hai Lanzhu hurriedly pushed Zhu Zhao's body away, moved away from his position and sat up and said, "Please come in!"

The maid of the guard moved out of the way in front of the door. When General Dule came in, he didn't dare to look at Hai Lanzhu's somewhat disheveled appearance and said: "Empress, now there are many soldiers from the coast and south gathered outside the city, but they dare not enter the city, saying that they want to enter the city to surrender to us, can we let them in?"

Hai Lanzhu said: "Have we used troops over there recently, why do they suddenly want to come and take refuge! General Dule, but what news do you have from them, please submit it together!"

General Durle lowered his head and said: "Report to Her Majesty the Empress, we have found out that their city was first sacked by robbers, and then after surrendering, they were blackmailed by foreigners, and it is better to surrender to us if they find out!"

Hai Lanzhu looked at Zhu Zhao and said, "Childe, what should we do in this situation?"

Zhu Zhao touched his chin and said, "Since they came to vote, Her Majesty the Empress will accept them." However, their original positions are no longer there, and the soldiers who surrendered to Cheng are also going to be reorganized!"

Hai Lanzhu looked at Du Le and said, "What does the general think of this opinion?"

General Du Le said: "What Zhu Gongzi said is extremely reasonable. Now they are begging to join us, not us begging to co-opt them. The conditions are naturally up to us!"

Hai Lanzhu said: "Okay, General Dule, you go and let those leading people into the city, and then you will take over the soldiers who are in charge of them!"

"Yes!" General Durle respectfully withdrew!

As soon as General Dule left, Hai Lanzhu was still really pulled by Zhu Zhao and fell into his arms. Hai Lanzhu glanced at the people behind him and said, "Childe, those robbers are all from the bandit army! Don't tell me that you don't know where they are on a mission in front of you!"

Zhu Zhao said: "That is also to see the hardships of various constructions in the city, so let them go outside to find funds for us." Let that money fall into the pockets of foreigners, it is better to snatch it directly from our pockets!"

Hai Lanzhu shook her head at Zhu Zhao's style, and said: "Now that we have unified the three eastern provinces, I am afraid that we will have to directly face the foreigners and the Chinese!"

Not long after, a palace maid came in and reported: "Your Highness, General Dule has led people from outside the city to meet in the Qiankun Palace, please move over!"
