. "Governor Zeng, it's been so long, why haven't you ever expressed your opinion? Jiangsu is your territory?" Lin Haifeng looked at Zeng Zhaoyang who had been smiling and laughed loudly.

"I am still a layman in the military, and I can't say anything more." Zeng Zhaoyang rubbed his hands embarrassedly, "However, I am mobilizing all the forces to ensure that our army in Shanghai and Hangzhou has no worries."

"Jiangsu must be the solid rear of our army, providing all aspects of guarantee for the army to fight south in a larger scale in the future." Lin Haifeng thought for a while and continued, "At present, there is no suitable candidate, you will preside over the military and political affairs of Jiangsu. We must cooperate closely with Tianjing to maintain stability in various places. Recently, your work has been very effective, and the construction of rural farmers' associations is very fast, so we must persist. In the future, local officials at the prefecture and county levels should also be replaced by people elected by rural farmers' associations and local chambers of commerce as soon as possible, so that the people can manage themselves, and this requires a system to be formed."

"This..." Zeng Zhaoyang hesitated for a moment, "Will the prefecture and county officials be completely handed over to local people? Will the scriptures be read wrongly?"

"I am focused on military affairs and have little consideration for this. However, Governor Zeng's concerns are reasonable. People have always been obedient to the government. If they really manage themselves, there will be some..." Huang Zaixing looked at King An and smiled.

"I haven't heard of it. Are you born to be obeying others' care?" Lin Haifeng threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and crushed it hard on the ground with his feet. "This is all the shackles of thousands of years that have been put on everyone's heads. From now on, we must completely break it bit by bit. What is equality and harmony? The world is the world of the people, and everyone should be the master of this world, not a slave. This includes you and me. If the scriptures are read incorrectly, it can only be said to be the disadvantage of publicity, guidance, and supervision of the provincial government. No one wants to do nothing.

The greedy and corrupt government is pressing on its own. As long as someone goes against the will of the people, the people will tell them to get out and dump the good people. Our nation is so used to surrendering to the power, and sooner or later it will be thrown into the garbage dump of history. The soldiers of the Heavenly Army have been fighting bloody battles. Is it just to overthrow a Qing court? No, our purpose is to make all the people in the world stand up straight and dare to say proudly to anyone, 'I am the master!' Especially the so-called Han people who have suffered a lot."

"Stand in the wind when frozen to death, starve to death and never bend down!" Zeng Jinfa sighed.

"You are right, this is our true national spirit!"

...

"Sir, I'm already burning my head, so I can't hesitate anymore."

In Baoshan City, the main generals of the Qing army gathered in Xu Naizhao's temporary governor's yamen - Wu Jianzhang looked at Xu Naizhao with concern and persuaded, "Sir, hurry up and ask foreigners for help, otherwise everything will be over."

"Yes, if you don't think of a solution, the tens of thousands of people outside the city of Shanghai will probably become the flesh in Changmao's mouth." Lan Weiwen lamented and was easy-going. He was the prefect of Songjiang. He was originally a deputy general of Zhejiang, Zhongsun Fan, and Zhejiang's "Defense and Suppression Bureau" led Li Hengsong and others to lead the navy ships from Huangpu River to force Longhua, and established the Nanying to encircle and suppress Changmao in Shanghai. Unexpectedly, Changmao in the city had not been destroyed, but his old nest was taken away by others. Just as Wu Jianzhang said just now, without the help of foreigners, it is hard to imagine that these almost terrified people could withstand Changmao's sharp momentum.

Foreigners? Whenever they mentioned the foreigner Xu Naizhao, they were sore. If it weren't for that bastard Jin Nengheng, he wouldn't have become the rebellious hostages who took the "Seabird". If it weren't for the help of Sang Yu, he would have fallen into the hands of others and his head would have been gone long ago. He looked at Wu Jianchang with disgust and his face turned red, and snorted in his heart, foreigners are your biological father, if you ask him to help them? These hungry dogs that are not full, as long as you ask them to send troops, it is not enough to leave your coffin book.

At this time, Xu Naizhao suddenly remembered what Sang Yu said accidentally when he was chatting with Sang Yu, "The little woman is a businessman, but the little woman knows that she can sell anything, but she can't sell the country. Once she embarks on this road, it's a road of no return!" Yes, if she betrays the interests of the court, even if she wins by chance, the emperor will definitely not spare herself easily and will sooner or later become a custody.

Seeing that Xu Naizhao had no intention of speaking for a long time, Jierhang was anxious. It was really a puppet who sold his land. The Qing Dynasty was not your world. Do you still want to leave a way out for yourself at a critical moment? Although the people on the "Seabird" tried their best to avoid talking about what was really happening on the ship after the matter was over, there was no airtight wall. This incident had been spread all the time. Jierhang, who had looked down on Xu Naizhao, now even sneered at him. If he had not been in the position of governor, it would have been...

"Mr. Xu, you have to make up your mind at this point!" There was an uncontrollable contempt in Jierhang's eyes.

Xu Naizhao seemed to have never seen it, and was still so anxious or annoyed. "You will tell me what to do if you see it?" He spread his hands and looked at the officials around him.

Liu Cunhou, the head of the Ministry of Justice, was a Beijing official. He came to Suzhou for business under the order, and a Xiaodao Club happened to be in Shanghai. Due to the lack of manpower, at the invitation of the Governor of Liangjiang Yiliang, he and general Hu Songlin and general Qin Ruhu led the army eastward to participate in the encirclement and suppression. Because of this, he was able to deeply understand the intentions of the current emperor. Due to the face of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom, the emperor naturally did not want to surrender to foreigners, but foreigners were fierce and the emperor could not afford to offend. What's more, between the "family thieves" and "outside strong" now, the emperor would definitely not be able to afford "family thieves". "I also tend to ask the great powers to send troops to intervene." He coughed softly and looked at Xu Naizhao, "However, the specific conditions still need to be negotiated." He wanted to make things a little vague, so as not to leave any talk in the future.

Yang Yunxiang had the lowest position among all the people attending the meeting. If it weren't for his command of Wusong's navy, he might not have been on his turn to speak. As a Guangdong native, he knew the wolf ambitions and ugly behaviors of the great powers too well. As a soldier, nothing could be more hated than selling the interests of the world. Listening to the shameless proposals of the officials, he couldn't help but breathe a fire in his chest, "The officials thought this was not possible," he stood up. "The officials could put their words in front. The great powers would definitely want to send troops to interfere, but the conditions would be that we would lose the interests of the customs and lose the jurisdiction over the current leased land..."

"What if I lose it?" Wu Jianzhang interrupted his words impatiently, "Customs are now useless, and a little money can't be collected. What's the difference between agreeing to agree to this condition and not agreeing? Besides, the management of other people's concessions is good, and they are orderly and polite and clean. It's not like ours, but the whole thing is garbage."

"Then why don't you live in the concession and still be with us garbage?" Yang Yunxiang's eyes
