Ma Hui looked at Li Zhen blankly, especially when he saw Li Zhen's joking demeanor, he felt agitated in his heart, shook his head and said seriously: "General Li, you know that ten million taels of silver is impossible. Ten million taels of silver
It's not a small amount, especially for a country like the United States, where it's impossible to exchange one person for ten million. I hope you can come up with something realistic."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "For you, ten million is indeed too much, but I think Bojia is worth ten million."
When Bo Jia heard this, he felt a little happy in his heart, but he was more angry.
Between freedom and compliments, Bo Jia was naturally unwilling to listen to Li Zhen's compliments and wanted to regain his freedom. Bo Jia looked at Ma Hui with a look of longing in his eyes and repeatedly signaled to Ma Hui to find a way.
Get him out.
If he stayed, Bojia would have already thought of his miserable life.
An old man who was nearly fifty years old was being tied up like a dog by a young man in his early twenties. He could be beaten and scolded whenever he wanted. In days like this, Bojia couldn't help but commit suicide for freedom.
Ma Hui looked at Bo Jia's pleading eyes and sighed in his heart.
Even if you show your old face, you still have to mediate some more.
Ma Hui cheered up, smiled, and said unhurriedly: "Ten million is really impossible. I hope General Li will put forward practical conditions. For example, if General Li needs mineral materials, steel, guns, cannons, or even
These are the extra items that General Li needs, and I will try my best to satisfy them. This is already the limit of what I can agree to, and if it goes any further, I really have no choice."
"No way?"
Li Zhen smiled coldly and said: "Since there is no other way, please come back!"
In fact, Li Zhen offered ten million taels of silver to scare Ma Hui away. However, Ma Hui did not know how to praise and always wanted to get Bo Jia back. For Li Zhen, no matter whether Li Zhen wanted to stay
Bojia came to take charge of the hospital affairs, and he wanted to stop Bojia, the leader of the invasion, from invading China. This gave Li Zhen enough reasons to keep Bojia.
Bo Jia listened to Li Zhen's method and felt despair in his heart.
Ma Hui hit a wall and said even more irritably: "General, on behalf of the United States, my cooperation with you is a partnership. Such a relationship should respect each other and help each other rather than fight with each other. Bojia did not affect the general.
Your Excellency, in that case, why are you holding on to Bo Jia? This will also affect the relationship between Your Excellency the General and the United States."
Li Zhen said coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, no need to beat around the bush!"
Ma Hui was also a little angry and said in a deep voice: "For now, Britain and France have become the general's enemies and will definitely cause big trouble. The United States is an independent and free country and a peace-loving country. It is willing to make peace with the general.
Coexistence. However, if the general is really unreasonable for a trivial matter, it may be difficult for the United States to stand on the same line as the general."
threaten!
This is already a naked threat!
Li Zhen heard what Ma Hui meant, but felt a little funny in his heart.
Whether it is now or more than a hundred years later, the country on the other side of the ocean that claims to be independent and free is definitely not peace-loving. Even if it claims to be peaceful, it must be carrying weapons in its hands.
Li Zhen stared at Ma Hui calmly and said nothing.
The atmosphere became solemn.
Ye Chengzhong stood next to Li Zhen, watching quietly without interrupting. The current situation was a good opportunity for him to learn, just to think about Li Zhen's way and means of doing things.
After a long time, Li Zhen said: "Your Excellency Ma Hui, if people respect me one foot, I respect others ten feet! If they don't attack me, I won't attack them; if they attack me, I will definitely offend them. The United States does not stand on the same line as me.
, so what? Could it be that the United States, where Your Excellency the Consul is located, is going to send troops to attack Shanghai, or attack China?"
Ma Hui said in a deep voice: "Britain and France are actively planning, and the United States may not be able to participate."
Li Zhen looked like he had a pearl of wisdom and said with a smile: "Rachel, Bourlon and other British and French coalition forces suffered a disastrous defeat, lost countless money, and finally left in despair. If the American army joined in,
, I believe that the soldiers under my command have the ability to defeat you. Whether it is Britain and France, or Britain, France and the United States, I think it is the same."
After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "As the saying goes, the debts are too heavy to bear. I have already offended Britain and France. Even if I offend the United States again, it is not a big deal."
Bojia interrupted: "Li Zhen, once the United States joins the war, you will definitely not be able to get any benefits."
Seeing Bo Jia's words, Li Zhen asked coldly: "Is it possible for the United States to join the war?"
Bojia held his neck high, like a big white goose holding his neck proudly, and said loudly: "Of course it is possible. As long as it involves the interests of the United States of America, nothing is impossible."
Li Zhen said with a smile: "But now there is internal trouble in the United States. The conflict between the interests of the north and the south has become more and more intense. Civil war is imminent. Can we mobilize our troops?" Li Zhen knew the situation in the United States at this time. It was definitely a country that was strong on the outside and inward on the inside.
It can scare people, but it has no other abilities.
When Ma Hui heard this, he looked shocked and had an unnatural expression on his face.
This situation is the biggest problem in the United States right now.
Domestic conflicts are getting more and more serious and have become a problem in the hearts of Bo Jia and Ma Hui. Now Li Zhen suddenly brought it up, Ma Hui and Bo Jia were extremely surprised. They did not expect that Li Zhen knew about things in the United States. Ma Hui was so domineering.
The aura disappeared, but he still said: "No matter what, it is always good for General Li to have another ally."
At this time, Ma Hui obviously could no longer be as tough as before.
Bojia sighed softly in his heart and was ready to stay.
Li Zhen waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "If you have to guard yourself against sneak attacks at all times, what is the use of such an ally? Mr. Ma Hui, I won't say any unnecessary nonsense. It's still the old saying, ten million taels
For money, I will let Bojia go."
Ma Hui looked at Bo Jia with a bitter look on his face.
At this moment, Ma Hui was really powerless and did not even dare to look at Bo Jia's eyes anymore, because it was impossible to save Bo Jia. Ma Hui could not stay in Daotai Mansion any longer, so he had to leave in despair, leaving behind no more
Bojia who can't escape.
…
Jiangbei Camp, although the camp is vast and spacious, and you can even see tents one after another, it has lost its majestic and grandeur, and instead exudes a twilight atmosphere like the sunset in the west.
After the disastrous defeat of the army, there were only a few defeated soldiers left in the Jiangbei camp, which was already in danger.
Li Xiucheng led his army to attack, and everyone in the Jiangbei camp was even more panicked.
Fortunately, Wu Qigong commanded the foreign rifle team to defend the camp and barely repelled Li Xiucheng's attack. However, although Li Xiucheng failed to break through the Jiangbei camp for the time being, he was sure of victory. Not only that, Li Xiucheng also sent troops to intercept Jiangbei.
The supplies of the camp made the life of the Jiangbei camp worse day by day.
Wu Qigong felt a headache as he presided over the deteriorating scene.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Qi Shan was lying on the bed with a pale face.
At this moment, Qi Shan's eyes were sunken, his eyes were dim and dim, without any sparkle, and there was still eye droppings hanging from the corners of his eyes. Qi Shan has been sick and has lost weight round and round. He is already skinny and bones, with protruding cheekbones. This way
The situation is like a person who has half his foot in the coffin and may die at any time.
