Seeing Xu Naizhao's deflated appearance, Li Zhen felt extremely happy.
Is it great to have a high official position? I’m not afraid!
Xu Naizhao was teased by Li Zhen, and he couldn't think of asking Li Zhen to salute, so he said directly: "Zhao Fa has brought three thousand soldiers to maintain the stability of Shanghai. He has already led his troops into the city. Why didn't he see anyone?"
Li Zhen raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an intriguing smile.
He was clearly trying to seize military power, but he said it was to maintain the stability of Shanghai. This guy is really shameless.
Xu Naizhao's heart skipped a beat, and he had a premonition that something was not good.
However, Xu Naizhao is also a person who has gone through many officialdoms. He will not reveal his thoughts easily. He said: "Let's go and see how Zhao Fa's progress is?"
"please!"
Li Zhen waved his hand and led Lan Weiwen towards the city.
The sharp knife battalions were distributed on both sides of the city gate, with fierce looks, staring at Xu Naizhao like wolves, as if they were ready to rush forward and bite at any time. Although Xu Naizhao looked calm on the surface, he was also worried in his heart.
Especially the entourage and soldiers following Xu Naizhao were even more trembling. Xu Naizhao and his entourage followed Li Zhen into the city. Marquis Yang Ban waved his hand, and the soldiers from the Jiandao Battalion followed Xu Naizhao with smiles.
In this way, Xu Naizhao became a sandwich biscuit, sandwiched in the middle. Xu Naizhao was walking in the middle, feeling chilled in his heart, faintly afraid, and tentatively asked: "Li Daotai, where are you going?"
Li Zhen said: "Zhao Fa led his troops to the military camp, and we also went to the military camp."
When Xu Naizhao heard this, he stopped talking and walked quietly towards the city.
When the group arrived at the military camp, Li Zhen strode forward without stopping for a moment. Xu Naizhao looked around and found pools of blood on the ground. Although there were not many, it revealed that a battle had taken place here. Xu Naizhao felt in his heart
Unfortunately, it was already determined that Zhao Fa must be in trouble. When Xu Naizhao entered the military camp, he felt like a sheep among wolves.
Entering the Chinese army's tent, Li Zhen sat down at the main seat.
Xu Naizhao did not sit down and asked directly: "Li Daotai, where is Zhao Fa?"
Li Zhen ordered: "Come here, bring Zhao Fa up."
Soon, Zhao Fa, who had turned into a pig-headed man, entered the tent. At this time, Zhao Fa looked haggard and looked defeated. Zhao Fa was hit in the thigh by a shot. He grinned in pain and was slapped dozens of times on his face.
He was completely unrecognizable. When Zhao Fa saw Xu Naizhao, he cried with joy and said loudly: "Sir, save me, save me!"
The corner of Xu Naizhao's mouth twitched slightly, he was frightened by Zhao Fa's appearance.
Li Zhen, so cruel!
In addition to anger, Xu Naizhao also had a touch of fear in his heart.
However, Xu Naizhao thought of Aliguo and Aitang, straightened his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Li Daotai, before I came to Shanghai, the foreigners protested, saying that you attacked the foreigners without authorization and instigated the people to attack the British and French missionaries. Now. Now
There is already an uproar in the concession, and they unanimously demand that you be removed from your post and investigated. In response to the people's request, I will remove you from your post now."
Li Zhen said calmly: "Governor Xu, I was appointed by the emperor. The emperor's yellow mantle is still there, so you shouldn't have the right? Besides, if I leave, who will resist the bandits? Is Governor Xu prepared to send troops himself?"
After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "Shanghai is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and we must not tolerate rampant foreigners. Don't say that the things you mentioned are all fabricated out of thin air, what will happen if you take action?"
Xu Naizhao snorted coldly and said angrily: "I am the governor of a province, which is enough to remove you from your post."
Li Zhen spread his hands and said, "It's up to you, you can be dismissed."
Zhao Fa saw that Xu Naizhao was talking nonsense and said: "Sir, the general's thigh was shot by a foreign gun. Please save the general."
"Shut up!"
Xu Naizhao felt irritable and shouted suddenly.
Seeing that Zhao Fa was involved, Li Zhen said: "Governor Xu, you have no right to remove me. The emperor asked me to pacify the Xiaodao Society and be responsible for customs matters. I did what the emperor ordered. You will remove me from my official position.
It means disobeying the emperor's order, just like rebelling. This is a very important point. I hope you will consider it carefully. Furthermore, Zhao Fa accepted your order and led three thousand soldiers to attack the military camp. I will report your matter to the emperor and ask the emperor to
Decision."
Xu Naizhao's eyes widened and he glared at Zhao Fa fiercely.
This idiot is so useless!
Li Zhen continued: "Zhao Fa caused great damage to the military camp and injured many soldiers. Therefore, Governor Xu prepared one hundred thousand taels of silver to redeem Zhao Fa and three thousand soldiers, otherwise I will not release them.
"
Xu Naizhao shouted: "Absolutely impossible!"
"ah!"
Zhao Fa exclaimed, looked at Xu Naizhao with disappointment, and said loudly: "Sir, I came to seize power under your order. Now that I have been arrested, you cannot abandon me. Please save me."
"Trash, what use do you have?"
After hearing Zhao Fa's words, Xu Naizhao turned pale and turned around to leave.
Zhao Fa stared at Xu Naizhao's back, with a look of resentment in his eyes, and he was extremely resentful of Xu Naizhao. Comparing Li Zhen and Xu Naizhao, Zhao Fa resented Xu Naizhao even more. He resented Li Zhen because he was captured by Li Zhen. Xu Naizhao had money.
Countless people watched him being imprisoned, which broke Zhao Fa's heart.
Huang Shihai was about to stop Xu Naizhao, but saw Li Zhen wave his hand.
When Xu Naizhao left, Huang Shihai said: "Commander, we can't let Xu Naizhao leave!"
Li Zhen said with a smile: "Xu Naizhao is indeed a governor. He has some courage. When he saw that something was wrong, he immediately evacuated. Don't worry, I have follow-up means to deal with Xu Naizhao. Xu Naizhao cannot escape."
After a pause, Li Zhen's eyes fell on Zhao Fa again and said: "Zhao Fa, your eyes are really bad. You actually chose a cold-blooded master. If you are going to die, he is not willing to save you.
"
Zhao Fa kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying: "Master Li, spare my life. I am willing to serve you."
Having said that, Zhao Fa also wants revenge.
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "You are a waste, you will be useless after I take it. I originally wanted to kill you and cut off one of Xu Naizhao's arms. Now it seems that Xu Naizhao doesn't care about you at all. He won't even care if you die."
Frown your brows. Since you are a big waste, I will waste my bullets by killing you. Go away and take your three thousand soldiers with you."
"Thank you, Master Li. Thank you, Master Li."
Zhao Fa felt happy, got up and left quickly.
Huang Shihai looked puzzled and asked: "Commander, why did you let Zhao Fa go?"
Li Zhen said: "Shihai, don't you think it would be better to let Zhao Fa go? Xu Naizhao refused to save Zhao Fa when he saw death. After Zhao Fa returned, he lightly publicized it, and the military power controlled by Xu Naizhao was gone. Xu Naizhao refused to save Zhao Fa when he saw death.
We will definitely not care about Xu Naizhao. What we are dealing with now is not Xu Naizhao who has military power, but Xu Naizhao who only has the position of governor. It is too easy to deal with such a person. Xu Naizhao takes the initiative to come to the door, and we will solve Shanghai's future troubles in one fell swoop."
Huang Shihai said: "The commander is wise!"
Li Zhen looked calm, stood up and said: "The matter in the military camp has come to an end, and there will be no trouble for the time being. Next, it is the key to deal with Xu Naizhao with all our strength. I will go back to the house to prepare."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen turned around and left the camp.
