The overt and secret fighting between the brothers continues, but they hide it very deeply. Only they and a limited number of people who know the inside story can smell the gunpowder inside.
Especially Cai Bixia. She stood on the deck and cast a squinting glance at the command cabin. That bad guy Xiang Ying just stared at her with lustful eyes, causing him to go out during the first aid training. Several mistakes.
Although these two people had already had sex in Prussia, after all, they were children who grew up in East Asia, a land of traditional ethics, so they still had to pretend to look the same on the surface. An old couple couldn't be so funny in public!
But with just a glance, Cai Bixia could see Zai Chun huffing and puffing, and it seemed that he had suffered another loss from Xiang Ying. Cai Bixia's emotions are very complicated. She really regards Zai Chun as her little brother. She does not want her future husband to conflict with Zai Chun, but she also knows that the political whirlpool cannot be controlled by her alone.
Sometimes many things are fate, or they are enemies from the previous life.
Zai Chun pushed open the cabin door angrily and shouted, "Listen clearly, from now on I am the health supervisor of the Zhiyuan! If anyone's clothes are not clean and the cabin is not tidy, see how I deal with you!"
Xiang Ying was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself that this little emperor is really capable of bending and stretching! It's not bad that he actually took his joke seriously, so let him do it.
People who work with emotions are definitely more efficient. Zai Chun used chicken feathers as arrows to clean up the entire Zhiyuan. He even took care of the hygiene issues of Wang Huaiyuan and Long Ma, making everyone dumbfounded.
However, the results are obvious. The deck was wiped spotless, the gun base was repainted to look shiny, and the rust on the rivets was also cleaned up in time. In one day, the Zhiyuan actually used up 80% of the fuel. Paint reserves.
The sailors put on brand-new military uniforms, and the artillery jackets were also taken off. The huge gun barrel looked around in a majestic manner, the brand-new colorful flags on the mast stretched into long ribbons, and the whistle sounded throughout the Huangpu River Estuary. .
Shanghai! The dreamland of the East and the paradise of Western adventurers. Since its opening, it has quickly become the most prosperous city in Asia, and it definitely deserves the first place.
At this time, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and the Lion City were simply out of place. Only Shanghai relied on its best port location and the Yangtze River Economic Circle behind it to create the most famous commercial capital in East Asia.
The Huangpu River, the last tributary of the Yangtze River, enters the Yangtze River at Wusongkou and merges into the East China Sea. To the west of the Huangpu River is Shanghai's earliest and most prosperous old city, Puxi District, but it was called Laochengxiang in the Qing Dynasty. As for Pudong, it is still completely a wasteland, followed by farmland and cargo yards.
This is one of the most important European concessions in East Asia. Britain and France have invested heavily in defense here. When the war broke out, Britain alone stationed 40,000 troops here, not to mention France.
It has now entered a period of peace, but the total number of British and French troops in the concession exceeds 20,000, not counting the permanent navy on the sea.
Such a heavily guarded place must be an important town where wealth gathers. The endless things floating on the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River are not ships at all, but gold and silver.
All the precious goods in the south of the Yangtze River flow here, and then get on ships and sail to all parts of the world. Foreign trade merchants from all over the world gather here. As long as you have connections and connections, you can get a ship of tea from here, and it will be three days to send it to Europe. More than twice the profit.
In such a prosperous place, you can imagine the busy scene of ships on the river day and night, with goods extending in all directions. The foreign devils stationed in Shanghai have long been accustomed to seeing the boat river during the day and the beautiful scenery of the lantern river at night. In their There is no rest for this Huangpu River in my heart.
But today, a scene that shocked everyone appeared. The foreign ladies standing on the west bank of the Huangpu River admiring the scenery were spinning their parasols in boredom. Suddenly, there seemed to be a terrifying whirlwind blowing on the Huangpu River, and all the boats They all started to speed up strangely.
The big boats and small boats desperately fled to the south and both sides of the bank. The boat boss and the sailors shook the oars like crazy, as if they were being chased by some deep-sea monster behind them.
"What happened? Why did these merchant ships give up the middle of the waterway... Hey! That Qing slave, what are you hiding from?" The proud big nose on the shore shouted in an extremely contemptuous tone.
But no one on the river was willing to pay attention to him, and no one had time to answer his question. Everyone just tried their best to move the boat closer to the shore. There were even scratches between the boats and they had to move closer.
At this moment, several huge ships flashed out from the direction of Wusongkou. The foreigners laughed when they saw it, "Look, that's our British Lady of Victory! The most powerful warship stationed in Shanghai..."
"That's our French Lord! It's covered with iron armor and rapid-fire artillery! Long live..."
Niu Pi had just started blowing, but before the young ladies and ladies could cheer, their throats suddenly became silent like cocks being pinched.
Because at the end of their sight, a taller, larger, and more powerful strange warship had revealed its majesty. The original Lady of Victory and Lord were just the guide ships of this warship. Their original majesty At this moment, he was so suppressed that he had no chance of making a comeback.
"Oh God! What is that? What kind of battleship is that... Could it be that we have new reinforcements from Europe?"
At the same time, the gongs rang on the street, and all the Shanghai County government officials were dispatched, followed by countless helpers. They actually beat the gongs and ran around the concession arrogantly.
"The Zhiyuan is here! Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea is personally leading the ship to patrol the south of the Yangtze River! Ryukyu has won a great victory, and the Ryukyu Chinese have won a great victory! The Rakshasa ghosts have all been wiped out, not a single one is left!"
Bang, bang, bang, the proud sound of the gong stunned all the foreigners, and inspired countless people of the Qing Dynasty to shout long live.
"Long live the Prime Minister! Won the Prime Minister!"
The extremely domineering Zhiyuan slowly turned the muzzle of the main gun, and the muzzle of the gun always swayed in the direction of the concession intentionally or unintentionally. The deck was covered with proud sailors with hands behind their backs. The pure white and sky blue navy uniforms were so beautiful that everyone saw them. Big bright.
There is no braid, no short stature, no timid expression, and no servant temperament. The fierce temperament of the Eastern soldiers is very close to the legendary European elves.
The not burly figure contains endless killing intent, and the slender and muscular body is not comparable to the gorilla figure in Europe.
As soon as the brave and handsome sailor appeared, countless Western women on the shore screamed in surprise, and some even covered their chests and were about to suffocate to death.
But all the men in Europe have completely different feelings. This warship made purely of steel is actually the legendary Zhiyuan. God bless, how can the Chinese have such a powerful warship? This is unreasonable!
