"Bold!"
Before Zhu Ba could answer Zhou Xiuying's question, Zhang Bao started to shout loudly.
It was because Zhou Xiuying had just received the order to evacuate Shanghai that she had the courage to come to Dianchun Hall to see the Holy Angel King Wu to ask for an explanation. The situation was obviously very good. Not only was the county seat of Shanghai taken over, but the concession was also taken over. Half of them were captured. Although the remaining half was defended by the foreigners at all costs, it was not easy to capture. However, barricades were built in the concession areas that had been captured, and there were thousands of elite soldiers guarding there. The foreigners wanted to attack It's not easy to come back either.
In addition, there are also a lot of brothers from the Tiandi Hui, Xiaodao Hui, and Luohan Party who have joined in the past few days! She heard her father Zhou Lichun say yesterday that the number of Taiping soldiers in Shanghai now exceeds 20,000!
Obviously the situation is so good, but this morning the order to prepare to evacuate Shanghai was issued to the women's camp she led.
The sisters in the women's camp didn't understand, and they all wanted to go to Dianchun Hall to find an explanation from the Holy Angel Wu King Wu Qianshi. Zhou Xiuying herself was not willing to give in. When encouraged by these little sisters, she ran away alone. Go to Yuyuan Dianchun Hall to find Zhu Ba, the "fake angel", and ask for an explanation.
However, she also knew that what she did was inappropriate. In the army, junior officers must obey the orders of their superiors. How could a subordinate go to his superior to ask for an explanation? If a subordinate dared to do this, he would not be able to escape even if he was justified. .
But she is such an impulsive person who likes to show off. Even though she knew she was going to get slapped with trouble, she still had to come to the sex room to get an explanation.
Zhou Xiuying kowtowed to Zhu Ba again, but her attitude in asking for an explanation was still firm: "Prince Holy Angel, the slave family knows the crime, and the slave family is willing to be punished, but the slave family still wants to ask, why did you abandon Shanghai?"
Hearing what Zhou Xiuying said, Zhu Ba was also a little embarrassed. Zhou Xiuying, a thin-skinned and tender little heroine, is really difficult to fight... If he is a "true angel", he can naturally be beaten, but he is just a Xibei Zhou Xiuying's father, Zhou Lichun, was the leader of the Qingpu peasants' anti-grain uprising. He also had great influence in Shanghai County, Huating County, and Nanhui County. In the future, if Angel Luo was to carry out land reform around Shanghai, Zhou Lichun would probably be indispensable. With the help of local farmer leaders...if Zhu Ba took off his daughter's pants and beat her up now, it would not be easy to explain.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ba snorted coldly and said: "Xiuying, the military skills of the Taiping Army are as good as mountains. If you retreat now, I will treat you as if you have never been here. Otherwise... I will give you a hundred whips!"
Zhou Xiuying gritted her teeth and said with a look of dismay, "I'm willing to receive an extra hundred whips, I just want an explanation!"
He was given the steps but still couldn't go down...Zhu Ba frowned. He originally had a good impression of Zhou Xiuying, but now it seems that he has a trouble-making temperament and is a bit reckless. Our girl Li Cuihua is better!
"A Bao... keep accounts for her!" Zhu Ba had no choice but to tell Zhang Bao. Keep accounts? Can this still be used to keep accounts?
Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted. He took out a small notebook and a writing brush, licked it with his tongue, and then wrote while writing: "Female camp pioneer Zhou Xiuying collided with the Holy Angel and was punished with a slap on the skin." Two hundred lashes, the right to keep accounts."
After finishing accounting, he walked to Zhou Xiuying, put the small notebook on the ground, took out an ink pad box, opened it, and placed it in front of Zhou Xiuying: "Sister Xiuying, if you have no objection, I will make a fingerprint." ..When the battle is over, someone from the Military Justice Department of the Female Battalion will take you to be tortured!"
Zhou Xiuying didn't waste any time. She immediately dipped her right thumb into the ink pad and pressed her own fingerprint. Then she bowed to Zhu Bayi and said, "Please give me the Holy Angel's instructions."
Zhu Ba frowned and said in a low voice: "Then let me tell you... The 20,000 troops led by Queen Su were repulsed by Luo Xueyan's new army in Kunshan, and they are temporarily unable to come to Shanghai. I have to first Withdraw troops from Shanghai County, turn to Suzhou Fucheng along the Suzhou River to join forces with Su Wangniang, and besiege Suzhou Fucheng together. After capturing Suzhou, they will then attempt to advance towards Shanghai."
Of course, what Zhu Ba and Zhou Xiuying said are "true"!
The army led by Su Sanniang indeed passed through large areas of Zhenjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, and Suzhou Prefecture, rushed all the way to Kunshan County, and then fought a night of artillery battle with the Shanghai New Army across the Loujiang River to the north of Kunshan County. The second The sky turned westward early in the morning, heading towards Fucheng, Suzhou.
After Luo Xueyan "repelled" Su Sanniang, he would lead his Shanghai New Army south to "counterattack" the Shanghai County and Concession. The "Luo Yaoguo" who occupied Shanghai County and invaded the Shanghai Concession would learn about Su Sanniang's attack. After the defeat in Kunshan, he immediately led the main force of the Xiaodao Hui rebels to abandon Shanghai County and the concession, and first moved to Qingpu. After reorganizing the troops in Qingpu, he left Zhou Lichun and Zhang Sanxiang to guard Qingpu, and led the main force to Suzhou to join forces with Su Sanniang and begin the siege. Suzhou.
In this way, Luo Xueyan could naturally regain the county town of Shanghai and the concession in Shanghai - not only defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but also regained sovereignty from the foreign devils. For these two great achievements, when Yiliang was killed by Luo Yaoguo and Su Sanniang, Jiangsu The governor might have to let Luo Xueyan be the governor!
However, Zhu Ba cannot tell Zhou Xiuying all of Luo Yaoguo's plans now, so Zhou Xiuying only knows that the good situation in Shanghai was ruined because of Luo Xueyan, the great demon.
Thinking of this, the "little heroine" became angry and resentful. She gritted her silver teeth and told Zhu Ba about Qingpu, the local dialect in Shanghai: "Prince Holy Angel, Luo Xueyan is so bad... I want to find a way to use Yi as a special person." never mind!"
The dialects in the southern Jiangsu area speak very fast. If she speaks slowly, Zhu Ba might be able to speak a few words, but if she speaks them in jittery and croaking words at the same time, it will sound like a foreign language to Zhu Bayi, a Hunanese.
But he didn't ask in detail. When he thought about it, this "little heroine" must be scolding the "big leader"... When a young and beautiful female subordinate scolds the "big leader", Zhu Ba, who is a middle-level person, is the best Pretending to be confused.
Anyway, the charges for punishing "Nvxia Zhou" have already been committed. When the time comes, she will be sent to Luo Tiantian, with the amount of 200 whips, whether or not to be beaten, how to be beaten, and how to deal with the aftermath after the beating, that is not Zhu's concern. It’s about eight.
So, Zhu Ba nodded and asked Zhang Bao to send Zhou Xiuying to have sex.
And "Xiao Zhou Heroine" made up her mind in her heart, even if she risked her life, she would get rid of this big monster Luo Xueyan!
..
Three days later, Shanghai Bund.
As the whistle blew and the anchor crashed, on the HMS Hermes, the flagship of the British Royal Navy's Hong Kong fleet, a man wearing a straight Royal Navy admiral's dress hung with a centerpiece The tall, blond, blue-eyed man in his fifties, with general rank, had a gloomy face as he looked at the more than a thousand people on the Bund street wearing gray-blue coarse military uniforms, carrying foreign guns with bayonets, and holding "Wanli" The Chinese army holds the banner "The Great Wall Will Never Fall".
This person is the third Governor of Hong Kong, the British Minister Plenipotentiary to China, the British Commercial Director in China and the Vice Admiral of the Hong Kong Island Navy, Salior George Bonham.
As a senior colonial official, Bonham served in the East India Company for a long time, and later served as the fourth Governor of the Straits Settlements. During the mid-19th century, the so-called "Straits Settlements" consisted of Singapore, Malacca, and Penang. A colony composed of port cities on the Malay Peninsula where Chinese people live together. Because of his good performance during the Straits Settlements, he was considered to be good at managing the Chinese people, so in 1848, he was recommended by the Foreign Minister Viscount Palmerston as the man with important responsibilities. The third Governor of Hong Kong and Minister to China.
When he left the UK to take up his post in Hong Kong, Viscount Palmerston, who had fully promoted the outbreak of the Opium War, repeatedly warned: We must use strong methods to force China to make concessions, amend the treaty, further open the market, and allow the free import of opium! To achieve the goal, it can even promote a new war!
However, Wen Xian never imagined that even though he, the minister of the British Empire, who had struggled to push for the "revision of the treaty" for four years without any success, had not yet made up his mind to fight, the Chinese would recklessly provoke the war first, and it seemed that We also won the battle...A completely European-style Chinese army has now marched into the British Concession in Shanghai!
No, the British Concession in Shanghai seems to be gone!
Because Wen Xian saw that in addition to the rice-shaped flags hanging on several buildings along the Bund street, there were also many Chinese-style red flags - these red flags seemed to have many square characters embroidered on them, and there were also stitches on one side of the flag. Many small strips of cloth.
According to Article 24 of the Shanghai Land Charter, only the British flag can be flown in the British Concession!
The large number of Chinese troops and the large number of Chinese flags seem to indicate the fact that the British Concession in Shanghai has probably been taken back by the Chinese!
What Wen Xian didn't expect was that the Chinese army that "invaded" the British Concession in Shanghai did not seem to be hostile to the British army in the concession!
Because beside the line of a thousand Chinese soldiers, there were dozens of British soldiers wearing red military uniforms... Both sides were in peace and seemed to be waiting for Wen Xian's review.
