People always lose their minds sometimes. The more adults you are, the better you can control your emotions. But for the thirteen-year-old Zai Chun, it is still very difficult to control his emotions.
It’s hard to describe the shocking emotion of having 100,000 people kneel down and pay respect to you. But Xiao Letian knew that when he was in school, there were more than 1,000 people in a school. When the head teacher selected Xiao Letian to give a speech in English on the playground That feeling will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
A thousand people gathered in the playground. The principal, teachers, and students all looked at your face. How many people were waiting for you to make a fool of yourself, and at that moment you could really feel what it meant to have weak legs and what it meant to have two legs fighting.
But Xiao Letian finally defeated himself. After stuttering a little at first, he broke through his own psychological limit. He was finally able to use his own confidence to defeat the aura of a thousand people.
The speech became more and more fluent and powerful. When the audience burst into thunderous applause at the end, the feeling of being drunk affected Xiao Letian's life.
Looking at Zai Chun, Xiao Letian knew that this child had fallen into the same wonderful feeling that he had fallen into when he was in junior high school. He was already drunk in it.
The applause of a thousand people can make people intoxicated. Now it is the roar of 100,000 Chinese people. Who in this world can not be crazy about it?
The head of state gave an ironclad order and the flag bearer immediately carried it out. At this moment, the British Governor Philip and the Dutch Governor were approaching the Zhiyuan on the flagship Melville. According to the ceremonial procedures specified by the diplomats in advance, the two sides drank on the deck of the Zhiyuan. A few glasses of wine, an exchange of gifts, and then we set sail.
But I never expected that the Zhiyuan would suddenly have an unexpected incident, and a flag message would be sent out saying that His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was going to land to meet the people.
"What? Oh my god! How can you not keep your word? Absolutely not... Send me a signal to push back! Who allowed them to change the ritual process without authorization?"
"Not even the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty! We won't give you the face of your father Xianfeng, let alone you, a arrogant person like you!"
Ouch? Governor Philip is still a China expert, and he actually knows what Shuzi means.
Britain's tough attitude was quickly conveyed to the Zhiyuan. After listening to the flagman's translation, Zai Chun was furious, "I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty! Why can't I land! There are one hundred thousand of my people on the shore..."
"What a bully! Master ordered us to rush over! We are steel battleships, and we will kill them if we hit them... Charge over!"
Xiao Letian's eyes were full of regret. He discovered that there is something called destiny, and a person's character is really brought about by fate. Zai Chun has received his two years of education, but his violent temper has not been worn away.
The head of state gave a slight wink, and two eunuchs, big and small, Sixi, walked over and hurriedly persuaded the emperor. In fact, they took up a position and blocked Emperor Tongzhi with their bodies, because the lookouts of many warships in the distance were carefully observing the deck of the Zhiyuan. Everything that happened.
Foreigners must not see Zai Chun being playful, it is so rude!
Everything was as Xiao Letian and everyone had guessed in advance. The British were indeed prepared. After three consecutive flags saying no landing was issued, the warships on the parade began to move, and the sinking anchor was slowly lifted. Pulled up, the jib began to lift the stationary battleship and slowly changed its formation.
In the lookout's telescope, there were figures moving back and forth from the fort on the island in the distance. "Report, sir! There is something strange happening in the enemy's coastal defense fort! The main gun has begun to aim at us!"
"What to do!" Everyone shouted and turned their attention to Xiao Letian.
Xiao Letian's hands and palms were all sweaty at this moment. He never expected that such a situation would arise. What should he do? What should be done?
"Drag His Majesty back first. Don't let the British laugh. Take him to the shadow corner first!"
"Now follow my orders and move the main gun..."
There is also a tense atmosphere on the Melville at this moment. Facing a pure steel behemoth like the Zhiyuan, saying that you are not afraid is just bragging. Although the Royal Navy has the advantage in numbers, if a war starts and you want to sink the Zhiyuan, God knows. How many troops will you lose?
The captain issued the order with a pale face. The two governors were waiting anxiously on the deck with earth-colored faces. The gunnery commander in the cabin began to order the soldiers to prepare the shells and prepare to shoot. The roar of military orders was everywhere below the deck.
"Don't start a war! I'm about to retire. Don't start a war during my term of office! God save me..."
Just when Governor Philip was praying for God's blessing, the thick and long 210-caliber big thing of the Zhiyuan actually moved and slowly aimed at the Melville.
"Oh God! The Chinese are going to war! Send flags..."
"Ask what they want to do? What do Xiao Letian want to do? Why are they turning the main gun for no reason..."
The British intelligence agency has long understood the power of the Zhiyuan's main gun. This is the most advanced cannon casting technology of Krupp Arsenal. No warship can withstand such a close range firing.
"Fight! The Royal Navy is preparing to fight... These Chinese people are not here to visit! They are going to start a war..."
At this moment, the Zhiyuan suddenly issued a flag message, "The head of state of the Chinese nation Xiao Letian... and His Majesty the Tongzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty... wish Her Majesty the Queen good health and the long-term destiny of the British Empire... fire a 21-gun salute!"
As soon as the semaphore ended, there was a muffled bang, the empty salute shell exploded in the main gun barrel, and white smoke spewed out from the muzzle like smoke.
Fili was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, "Let's not fire...it's a misunderstanding...this is a salute from the Chinese!"
Many warships almost lost their warships, and the gunnery recruits almost pulled the fuse. However, the gunnery commander and the veterans responded by adapting to the situation and knocked him to the ground with a tiger pounce, thus avoiding a misfire. conflict.
The artillery commander and soldiers who fell to the ground yelled angrily, "Damn Chinese! They are all madmen! How can you make such a joke! I have to go back to London for Christmas this year! Damn..."
The main gun of the Zhiyuan saluted the Queen of England and the United Kingdom, followed closely by Xiao Letian who agreed to the British conditions. Everything was carried out in accordance with the procedures negotiated in advance, and the request to disembark was given up.
A nearly conflict finally subsided. Xiao Letian used a gun salute to scare the British. This was also a way to save face. Otherwise, giving up Zai Chun's request would definitely make the British look down upon him. .
Just as Governor Feili was about to board the ship, Zai Chun was pushed into a corner by Xiao Letian, and his butt was touched with three feet. "If you hadn't wanted to see the British Governor later, I would have slapped you with a big mouth! When is this, Don’t you know what the overall situation is?”
"How can you be emotional when you achieve great things? You can't bear it when a hundred thousand people kneel down and worship you? Then how will you rule a billion people in the future? You let me down so much..."
Zai Chun cried, but as soon as a drop of his tears flowed out, it would be sucked away by the eunuch with a handkerchief. "Your Majesty! The head of state is right. We are overseas now, so we need to restrain ourselves... Your Majesty, please stop crying." If you know how to be British, get on board!”
