Wu Jianzhang looked at his ugly appearance and mocked: "Foreigners are also unprofitable and unwilling to help us for no reason. If..."

Li Huansong: "If there is anything, please tell me."

Wu Jianzhang: "If we use tariffs as a guarantee, foreigners may send troops to help us defend the city."

Li Huansong looked at Changgui and said doubtfully: "This... tariff is not something you and I can decide. We still have to ask the emperor for instructions."

"Ask the imperial court for instructions? Isn't it too late? The three of us will guarantee it now. When the imperial court investigates, we will say that we were forced by foreigners." Wu Jianzhang said bewilderedly.

Changgui said to himself: "It is better to fall into the hands of foreigners than to fall into the hands of short-haired people. I would rather be with a friendly country than a domestic slave."

When Wu Jianzhang saw that they agreed, he smiled proudly, took out the prepared documents, and the three of them signed their signatures, "Then the officer will use it to borrow troops from foreigners?"

When Liu Lichuan saw Wu Jianzhang coming out excitedly, he wondered: "Now that short-haired men are besieging the city, why are you so excited?"

Wu Jianzhang took out the document, pointed at it and smiled: "Short hair is nothing. With this I can earn millions of taels of silver. Besides, I have done so much for the foreigners, they will definitely protect me!"

Liu Lichuan exclaimed: "How many millions of taels can such a small piece of paper be worth? Is it a huge banknote? Is there any bank in the world that can exchange millions of taels?" He was also worried that Wu Jianzhang would be deceived, so he advised: "Sir,

You'd better be careful so as not to be deceived?"

Wu Jianzhang also wanted to find someone to talk to, and said: "Have you been deceived? Don't underestimate it. From now on, I will purchase goods at the Shanghai port and ship goods without having to pay taxes! It will accumulate to millions of taels every month! Foreigners have it and do business.

You don’t have to pay taxes to the Qing Dynasty, and you can do whatever business you want! How many millions of taels? It’s not more than a few trillions!”

Liu Lichuan said in surprise: "Isn't this killing the goose that lays the goose to lay the egg? Foreigners are the most unreasonable. Even if the Qing Dynasty does not admit this matter in the future, the foreigners will definitely make trouble unreasonably, and then... there will be endless troubles! Sir, you can't hand it over to foreigners."

Wu Jianzhang scolded: "How dare you, Liu Lichuan, Liu Lichuan! Don't forget your identity. I took you in for the sake of my fellow villagers and gave you an errand. Now you dare to reprimand me? Believe it or not, I will send you away immediately."

Man! Let you live on the street."

Liu Lichuan continued to persuade him along the way, but seeing that Wu Jianzhang was unmoved, he secretly made up his mind to take action as soon as he left the Yamen. He would never let such a document that was humiliating and humiliating the country fall into the hands of foreigners.

Liu Lichuan followed Wu Jianzhang out of the yamen, waved to the brothers who had been guarding the door, picked up Wu Jianzhang, and said: "Your Excellency, Liu will bear in mind your kindness to me. I will wrong you for a moment, and I will lead the brothers to take the King of Han into the city."

, I hope you can join the King of Han at that time..."

"Bah, you Liu Lichuan! It turns out that you deliberately took refuge in me just because you were thinking about today! I was really blind and saw the wrong person. If you want to kill me, I will kill you! I will not stoop to be a thief." Wu Jianzhang was furious.

He lost his mind and spat and cursed at Liu Lichuan.

Liu Lichuan wiped the stain on his face and said, "Take the master down and take good care of him. Don't allow others to hurt him."

"It's... a dog officer! Don't leave yet!"

…………

With tens of thousands of brothers from the Tiandihui acting as internal support, the Han army easily occupied Shanghai County!

Li Yunzhong said to Zhao Laoqi: "You have seen the power of the intelligence department! If the intelligence department does a good job, the army will win every battle. This time our army captured Shanghai in just three days, with almost no casualties, but it was annihilated.

The Qing army has more than 10,000 people. But you can no longer take risks yourself, you can leave these things to your subordinates!"

Zhao Laoqi felt that his whole body was full of energy, "I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust and develop intelligence personnel all over the country as soon as possible. As long as the King of Han says a word, even if I assassinate Xianfeng's son, I will definitely bring his head to Your Highness.

"

Li Yunzhong took out the intelligence experience he had written in his spare time, which was actually summarized according to later generations, and handed it to Zhao Laoqi, "Okay, as long as you have this confidence, this is some of my experience on intelligence spying. You don't have it?"

Just take a look, I will allocate 400,000 taels of silver within three months. You will focus on placing intelligence personnel in Hunan and Jiangxi, especially the Hunan Army that Zeng Guofan is running. It will be our great enemy. You

You must personally take responsibility and hand over the list of important personnel to me in six months. No third person is allowed to know about this, do you understand?"

Zhao Laoqi saw that the King of Han paid so much attention to it, so he kept it in mind and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will start on this matter immediately."

The British Minister Wenhan, the American Minister Malian, and the French Minister Bourblon did not expect that the Han army was progressing so smoothly. Less than five days after they returned from Suzhou, the Han army captured Shanghai and had to get together to discuss the true strength of the Han army.

In order to report the policy as soon as possible, it can be used as a reference for adjusting China policy.

Bulbulon recalled the scene when he entered Nanjing for the first time, "I have to admit that the King of Han was a righteous party, because the people under his rule were obviously different from the people of the Qing Dynasty. They had more smiles, and of course

confidence."

Mailian wrote down what Bulbulon said and added: "The King of Han's army is also very loyal. So far, I have not found any examples of officers surrendering, but the decadent Qing Dynasty is different. If this continues, the Qing Dynasty will definitely

will perish and be replaced by the Han State, so I think we should have good relations with the Han State, which is more in line with our interests in China."

When Wenhan saw Mai Lian and Bulbulon both looked at him, he had to stop thinking, "No matter what, our positions must be consistent, there is no doubt about it!"

Bulbulon knew that he still wanted to support the Qing Dynasty, and said impatiently: "What on earth are you going to say? You want us to help the Qing Dynasty? That will only make the money fall into the water in vain! I don't agree with this."

Mai Lian also shrugged to show her agreement with Bulbulon's words.

Wenhan waved his hand and explained: "I remember that Napoleon Bonaparte, whom you admire, once said: China is like a sleeping lion. What I have to do is to prevent this lion from waking up. You think: if China becomes strong,

It will definitely affect neighboring small countries, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and even India."

Bourblon complained: "You British have killed the pride of France! Dear Napoleon, did he really say this?"

Mai Lian interrupted: "Then how do you keep it sleeping?"

Wenhan replied: "It's very simple. Let this war continue. If the Qing has the upper hand, we will help the Han. If the Han has the upper hand, we will help the Qing! Until both sides are exhausted! Then we can roam around.

They get all kinds of benefits from each other."

Bulbulon said with satisfaction: "This is really a good idea."

Mai Lian pointed in the direction of Li Yunzhong and said with a smile: "I think we can go get the first benefit."

Wen Han smiled and said: "Don't forget to call those foreign businessmen, I think they will be more interested!"
