Chapter 204 This is called tit for tat!

. Without heavy military strikes, there has never been an army that is willing to bow down. As a great man said, if you don’t have a broom, the dust will not run away by itself as usual.

After Brigadier Yilu's land defense line was broken by the Tianjun who had broken up from behind, he used all the cannons that could be used on the Huangpu River to try to suppress the Tianjun and save the fate of the poor sailors on the land. However, the sudden appearance of the swimming artillery fire on the banks of the Tianjun River knocked out his fantasies, making him care about this but not the other. The previous hundreds of royal sailors who dragged a few cannons to rampant the land had completely become history. Now, the sailors who were running around are all his sailors, and those who were murderous in the Yangtze River and those who were rushing to the sky were all rebels.

It was not until he felt that the officers and soldiers on the land were hopeless that he considered moving closer to the concession. However, the light artillery team of the rebels by the river seemed to deliberately make things difficult for him and fought and tangled. The wooden boats of the Qing army in front had already soared into the sky, and even his fleet was in chaos. Without enough sailors, many warships could not exert their true strength. When he finally opened a way and rushed out of the rebel artillery fire to intercept the concession, the fireworks rushed to the concession, and the flag of the rebel fleet was also found on the river.

As the British Empire's brigade general, he was not afraid of surface combat. But before the fleet approached the other side's fleet, the two gunboats rushing in front began to fall in a few inexplicable explosions. The sailors who were not many on the boat, all became ducks. At this moment, Brigadier Yilu finally panicked.

The Navy of the Heavenly Army led by Xu Zongyang arranged nearly a hundred mines in the waters close to the concession. These mines were hung by similar anchor chains and hidden under the water. No matter how smart you are, you can't observe them. However, as long as the hull is touched, not to mention a few gunboats, even the largest battleship of the British fleet, the Kolkata, could not withstand the attack of an "anchor" mine.

The road leading to the outlet of the Huangpu River was completely blocked by the minefield of the Heavenly Army and the artillery ships behind it, and the artillery battalion that was entangled on the shore disappeared into Shanghai. Brigadier Yilu could no longer find an opponent, but he was even more sad than when he had an opponent. Once upon a time, the vast ocean-going fleet was now like a baby abandoned by God, and it seemed like a group of lost ghosts, unable to advance or retreat. This political hooligan, who once relied on support and encouraged opium dealers, and was famous in China, finally reached the point of waiting for death.

If Steellin had any choice in the face of the orders of Ali Kingdom, for this poor Brigadier Yilu, receiving such an order would be like the person who fell into the water before drowning, who caught a life-saving straw. He was specially arranged by the Kingdom of Ali Kingdom, and he had planned to take some verbal talk to convince Brigadier Yilu to disarm. Captain Sith, who never expected that things would go so smoothly.

Maybe he wanted to give this cowardly general a comfort, or maybe he felt a little shy when he was such an envoy. After hearing the Brigadier General's reassuring reply, Xisi shrugged his shoulders, smiled bitterly, and sighed, "We intervened in a war that should not be intervened at an inappropriate opportunity and inappropriate location. It was simply terrible. If the general continued to resist, they claimed to dump oil into the Huangpu River and turn the Huangpu River into a fire river."

God! When Brigadier Yilu closed his eyes, a cold sweat broke out from his spine. What kind of world is this!

"This world is very fair." Lin Haifeng, whose military purpose has been achieved, is now planning for economic purposes. In the large living room of the consulate, senior employees from various foreign companies gathered together to listen attentively to the following words of the Iron Bowl Prince.

"Qichang, Jardine, Qiong, Swire, and other foreign companies, as well as Angel and other commercial companies, ignored the relevant warnings of the Celestial Dynasty and ignored our sovereignty, and invested in and donated to establish illegal armed forces such as the Concession Self-Defense Corps, donated a group of hooligans and rogues organized the so-called foreign gun teams to be enemies with the Celestial Dynasty. According to the Celestial Dynasty's laws, anyone who dared to help rebel will be executed. This is called one retribution and one retribution!"

The iron bowl prince's decisive words were like thunder, causing these giant merchants who had just struggled from the brink of death to faint suddenly, and the rest were sweating like rain, fighting with upper and lower teeth, and golden flowers were everywhere in front of them.

"My Celestial Empire has something to say before. We welcome merchants from all over the world to trade with us normally and equally. For this reason, although during the war, we still did our best to give merchants who traveled to and from the areas controlled by our Celestial Empire as much as possible. However, you have made a lot of money and don't want to give rewards. Instead, you have a conscience and openly become enemies with the Celestial Empire. The soldiers can tolerate it, but who can't bear it!" Lin Haifeng roared, swung the pipe in his hand hard, and opened his eyes wide open. After a while, he eased his tone, "If it weren't for my Celestial Empire, if I hadn't considered the overall situation, if I hadn't been a good person, there would definitely be no way out for you today."

God, so there is still room for relief! Everyone's ears stood up, and even a few people who looked almost half dead suddenly became energetic. Everyone understood that there was no vain dinner in this world, and they all wanted to listen carefully to the conditions of this prince who seemed to be a little cute.

"Oh, God, respected prince, as long as you give up your hands and forgive our ignorance, the little woman would rather donate all the property of the business to your army." A white lady cried and snatched forward a few steps, knelt at the feet of King An, with a snot and a tearful beg.

Everyone's eyes were focused on this noble lady. No one didn't know that she was the head of Angel's business, Sang Yu.

"What are you doing? Get up, get up quickly." Lin Haifeng, who had been sitting upright, stood up and quickly signaled the guards on both sides to go up and help Sang Yu up.

"Madam, if you have something to say, don't be impulsive. I am the King of An of the Heavenly Dynasty, not a bandit who robbed the house." Lin Haifeng looked at Sang Yu and sat back, and then sat down again, "It's better to know the mistake. People are not sages, so who can do nothing? However, since you have a mistake, it's natural to be punished. What do you think?"

"It should, it should, it should be!" Sang Yu continued to sob, "Dear Prince, as long as you can forgive the little girl's husband who was captured by your army, the little girl will be punished."

"That's right," Lin Haifeng nodded slightly, "Okay, because the wife is still taking the initiative, tomorrow I will send someone to verify the property of your business. Two-thirds of the property will be confiscated, and one of them will still belong to you. I said that I am not a bandit, I will leave you the necessary property and protect the normal trade you will carry out in the future. The heavenly dynasty is in chaos and there are many business opportunities. Wherever you fall, you can get up from. Okay, go to the Shangshu next to me to sign a guarantee letter, and you can pick up your husband and go home to reunite."

He smiled and waved his hand to Sang Yu, who was in a state of sorrow and joy, and then swept his eyes to the other giant merchants, "What about gentlemen, what do you mean?"

It’s really simple enough to say that it’s simple enough. You can leave by signing. However, signing is like taking off a few ribs, which hurts from the heart! The giant merchants ate eight bitter melons in one bite. However, they all knew very well that how many of the millions of furniture were obtained cleanly? Doesn’t most of the money come from opium smuggling? This really corresponds to the prince’s words, it’s really a reward for one reward!

General Steelin now seemed to have eaten a handful of sweet dates, feeling happy. Under his instructions, hundreds of wounded soldiers supported each other, carrying the serious injuries with minor injuries. According to the prior agreement, he raised the white flag. Lililala led out of the south gate, threw down some useless weapons, and then turned to the designated area in the southwest to concentrate. This was a slow process, and anyone would gradually feel relaxed. At least, General Steelin thought so. In order to strengthen the suddenness of preparing to break through the rebel defense line, during the execution, he also strictly required the Qing army everywhere to remain quiet, for fear that they would act rashly and disrupt his careful plan.

Sure enough, when the last group of disguised wounded soldiers pretended to disarm, they suddenly fired the gun in their hands and rushed towards the rebels' defense line with a strange cry, the rebels were obviously caught off guard and the opening was easily torn open.

Colonel Jack finally showed his face this time. After commanding the vanguard troops to break through the gap, he resisted the rebels who were fighting to block the gap again. Amid the fierce artillery fire that followed the west gate, the royal sailors of the brigade rushed out like a tide along the opened gap.

The Qing army in Xiguan launched a large-scale attack on the rebels opposite again, firmly dragging the rebels outside the city and reducing the pressure on themselves. General Steel finally felt a little more accomplished in his heart when he came for a day.
