"What do you mean, are the officials of the imperial court now facing the Xiyi people across the street?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with interest.
"No!"
"The imperial court is frightened by the foreign devils, and now it treats him as his grandfather!" Someone in the crowd heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question and answered loudly.
"The imperial court wants to be a grandson, but we don't want to!"
"If you want to enter the city of Guangzhou, there is no door." Someone in the crowd kept shouting to stir up the atmosphere, which soon aroused the same hatred and hatred among most people.
Zhu Yuanzhang smelled a familiar flavor from these words.
He is very familiar with this kind of tune!
Isn't this a common tactic used to incite the common people during rebellion?
It seems that the gathering of so many people here in such a short period of time is definitely not spontaneous. Someone is secretly organizing it.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at the dark crowd behind him.
Of course, he is not so smart that he can identify the organizer at a glance.
He was just looking at these ordinary people who couldn't be more ordinary.
There was not much color on these people's faces. Although there was anger in their eyes, there was no despair.
These people are not hungry.
Therefore, if the Xiyi people on the opposite side also have scruples, then today's confrontation cannot be serious, and the final result will be nothing more than both sides taking a step back.
Of course, there may be a few unlucky ones who dance happily and be used as scapegoats.
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly came to a conclusion.
With this conjecture, he stopped talking and chose to wait and see.
After all, he has just come to this world and doesn't understand everything yet, so it's better not to act rashly at this time.
"quiet!"
"Get out of my way!" Soon, in less than half a quarter of an hour, a man in his fifties wearing a navy blue official uniform walked over.
Nearly five hundred soldiers filed out from behind him and quickly pointed their spears at the people.
Then the official walked to the opposite side of the British army with a serious face.
"Angru, what's going on with you? Why did you log in to Humen again? Do you really think that the Qing Dynasty is a piece of cake?"
"Dear Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, we have no intention of offending the Qing government. All our actions are legal. It was your Qing government that promised us that we can rent land to build houses in Guangzhou and live permanently. We are just exercising our rights.
It’s just a right.”
"Fuck your motherfucker!"
"Are you renting land? That's robbery!"
"We still live there permanently. The entire Guangzhou is the land left to us by our ancestors. We won't sell it, and we don't welcome foreign devils like you!" The people on the opposite side immediately started to make noises when they heard this.
"Quiet!" Qiying frowned, turned around and shouted loudly.
Under his intense gaze, all the noisy people could not help but lower their heads.
They are still afraid of officials, especially frontier officials like the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
After taming these unruly people, Qiying turned back to look at the British commander: "Angelou, haven't we already discussed this matter? Let me take a moment, public opinion is fierce now, you have seen it too
, if you forcefully rent land, I'm afraid it will cause riots by unruly people."
"It would be bad if it causes a big disaster!"
"Give me two months, and I will definitely help you complete this matter, how about that?" Qiying whispered.
When Commander Angelou heard this, a trace of sarcasm suddenly flashed in his eyes.
But in the end he said: "This matter can be discussed later, but today two of our brave and noble soldiers were injured by your people. We demand that the murderers be handed over and they will be punished severely!"
"This is natural, and safeguarding the rights and interests of the British Empire is what I should do!"
Qiying straightened up his face, turned his head to look at the crowd of unruly people in the darkness in front of him, and said with a majestic expression: "You have heard it, I have agreed to make concessions regarding the land lease, but you must also hand over the person who caused the trouble in the first place.
If there is anyone who has injured an Englishman, please come forward. If you let me find you, your crime will be increased."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he frowned immediately.
He just saw this Manchu official hooking up with the Xiyi people and whispering to him, and he felt something was wrong. Now that he saw the result was like this, he suddenly couldn't hold back his anger.
"These bitches!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with endless killing intent.
Suddenly at this moment, a little dwarf suddenly jumped out of the crowd, ran to Qiying, whispered a few words, and pointed to where Zhu Yuanzhang was standing.
"Um?"
Qiying suddenly raised his head and locked eyes with Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Okay, I didn't expect that some of you unscrupulous people would dare not to wear braids, but wear Akito buns instead. Let me arrest these two people."
Qiying pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang and shouted.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned even deeper. He did not expect that this Manchu official would directly target him, and it was because of his hair.
Of course he had noticed before that the people here had big braids, and he also noticed that many people looked at his hair and had weird expressions on their faces, but he didn't pay attention and didn't know that this was already a crime.
"But just right!"
"We are feeling extremely depressed right now!"
Zhu Yuanzhang strode out of the crowd.
"We don't need you to arrest us, but you should tell us which crime we committed?" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.
"Ha ha!"
“It’s true that the ignorant are fearless!”
"You don't even know the rules about whether to keep your hair or whether to keep your hair?"
A trace of pity flashed in Qiying's eyes, but mostly he was relieved.
Catching these two rebellious fools can be considered as a way to deal with the British.
"We really don't know!"
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile on his face: "What if we say that we want to grow both hair and hair?"
"Huh, then you go die!"
"Remove the knives from their hands and hand them over to the British!" Qiying shouted.
"Clang!"
A cold light flashed, and Zhu Yuanzhang took action himself and chopped off Qiying's head with a knife.
"It's a pity that we don't want to die, so I can only ask you to die!"
Zhu Yuanzhang put away his sword, looked at the British and Manchu soldiers who were close at hand and had not yet reacted, and said in a deep voice: "Do it, leave no one behind, and send them all to see Dorgon."
"According to the order!" Mao Xiang stepped out with one step, and the sword flashed like a steel sword, and it penetrated the crowd in all directions. Blood spattered, and screams came one after another around him. In an instant, more than twenty people were killed.
A master of Huajin who breaks into a crowd of ordinary people and launches a surprise attack can unleash a power that is at the level of a nuclear bomb.
And Mao Xiang was not the only one to take action. In the shadows around him, there were more than a dozen Huajin Grandmasters from the Jinyi Guards, leading hundreds of martial arts masters, and they rushed at the positions of the Manchu soldiers and British devils at the same time.
At the same time, under two British warships moored in the water in the distance, Mu Ying quietly showed his head in the water with a team of elites.
