"You little bastards, are you going crazy? Catch them all..." With a low roar, a dozen figures rushed towards them.
These student soldiers were just about to resist "pull*...wait...our own people?"
The sixteen "warriors" suddenly turned into sixteen unlucky guys. They were thrown to the ground by a group of Chinese plainclothes special operations soldiers, and they were tied up in a mess after being captured.
It was not the British military police who rushed in, but Fangdong, one of the leaders of the Borneo Uprising. He actually came to the Lion City in person!
"Okay! The bundles of these explosives are even more beautiful than those in the arsenal. Don't join the army. Just go to work in the arsenal and you'll still have a good meal!"
"How courageous are you? How dare you do this without an order..." Fang Dong subconsciously looked around before he took a breath before saying, "How courageous are you? You dare to assassinate the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Are you trying to break the truth? Are you trying to destroy all the Führer's plans? Do you want to take a shot?"
Some of the sixteen warriors were dissatisfied and resentful. They held their necks and retorted, "This is justice! If we, the Chinese, want to take over the Central Plains, we must destroy these alien Tartar emperors!"
"We are not afraid of death, you let us take action..."
"Stop his mouth!" Fang Dong's nose twisted in anger, "It's just you...it's just you! King Xiao Tian has already come to the Lion City for you little bastards!"
"How much chaos have you caused? Take them all down, put them in solitary confinement, and lock them in the cabin!"
Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, these daring student soldiers were secretly stuffed into carriages and dragged to the dock along with mountains of dried seafood such as Nanyang dried abalone, scallops, shark fins, sea cucumbers, etc.
Cargo ships carrying the flag of Mijia Grain Company are privileged. Boss Mi, one of the largest Chinese grain merchants, his cargo ships have almost monopolized 70% of the seafood and dry goods business in East Asia.
This rich man has long reached the level of the God of Wealth, and has close relationships with senior Chinese people. He spends a lot of money to pave the way and provides political escort, allowing Boss Mi's business to be high enough to negotiate terms with the British Governor.
The British did not inspect the cargo ships of such mercantile enterprises at all. With a few bribes of dragon-marked silver coins, the officials at the docks all smiled like chrysanthemums. Even the British had to be polite.
The sixteen warriors were safely packed into the Mi family's cargo ship, and the bottom cabin temporarily requisitioned by the army became their small dark room.
Although Fangdong roared fiercely, the soldiers and civilians at the bottom definitely had a heroic complex. Not a quarter of an hour after these student soldiers were locked up, a chef from a merchant ship came with a few sailors.
"Little brother! You are capable and courageous! If you dare to assassinate the Tatar Emperor, you are still a good man even if you fail!"
"The little kitchen was boiling over the wall, preparing a late-night snack for the King of Heaven, but the King of Heaven sent a message saying that he wouldn't be on the boat tonight... I'm giving you an advantage!"
Buddha jumps over the wall, abalone, sea cucumber, scallops, fish lips, yak hide glue... more than ten top-quality ingredients are slowly cooked in porcelain jars, and all the collagen and umami flavors melt into a thick soup!
As soon as the lid was opened, the whole bottom tank was filled with the sweet aroma of seafood!
The quality of the small stove given to Xiao Hexin was not good. Several young people who had escaped from the ghost gate were eating like starving ghosts.
"You almost couldn't eat this delicacy! How brave you are..." The master chef and the sailors secretly provoked Big Thumb.
After taking a few bites, one of the student soldiers put down his spoon with a forlorn expression, "We have food to eat...but there are two groups of brothers left. I'm afraid they are already trapped in it, right?"
The British were so tightly guarded that there was no way the rifles and explosives in the hands of the other two groups of student soldiers would not be exposed!
A sailor said secretly, "Don't worry! Since the King of Heaven is here, our people will definitely not be in danger! Since the King of Heaven will not return to the ship tonight, he may be the one to do this!"
People's guesses are correct. Xiao Hexin came to Lion City this time because he learned in advance that there were so many violent organizations among the people who wanted to assassinate Emperor Tongzhi.
Originally, Xiao Hexin was planning to sail to Manila to meet Emperor Tongzhi, but after hearing this information, he did not dare to neglect and could only adjust his plan to go to the Lion City to meet him.
On the one hand, we must rescue these daring madmen. Although they have caused trouble, they are also Chinese. Even if they are sentenced, they must be sentenced by the Chinese!
On the other hand, Xiao Hexin knew the role of Emperor Tongzhi very well. Only a living Emperor Tongzhi can make the fortress plan proceed smoothly!
The little emperor cannot die, at least not now!
At this moment, the Lion City is in chaos. The streets are full of celebrating overseas Chinese. They are so excited by the compensation of 290 million taels of silver that they are crying bitterly. Some people are even going crazy, crying and laughing at the same time. !
Someone jumped on the table, holding a jar of Huadiao wine and shouting "Long live the head of state! Respect our Chinese people!" Then he drank the whole jar, and finally fell asleep directly on the street.
People were singing, dancing, and venting! This scared the British silly!
All the troops and police were dispatched, trying their best to maintain order in this crowd!
You wouldn't know if you didn't check, but you were shocked when you checked. There were actually four or five waves of thugs who were preparing to attack the Governor's Palace. The British garrison also came to help. They tried their best to isolate the crowd and began to focus on hunting these thugs.
And those thugs were obviously shocked by the news of the Frankfurt Treaty, and they were all captured without much resistance!
Maybe everyone has their own plans in mind. Who doesn't want to see the grand situation of the Chinese after the Treaty of Frankfurt?
I really want to see that prosperous era!
Some people are celebrating, some are scared, some are busy, and some are worried!
In the Governor's Mansion, Emperor Tongzhi and his entourage were all stunned. The milk smoothie had melted into a sticky, disgusting thing, which was very eye-catching in front of Zai Chun.
"How much?" Zai Chun asked like a fool.
"Two billion...gold francs..." British Governor Philip was also frightened to sweat by this number, and he answered while wiping his sweat.
"How much?" Zaichun's eyes were still out of focus.
"Two hundred and fifty million pounds... Your Majesty!" the Dutch Governor-General Veiljaka whispered.
"I asked how much!" Zai Chun suddenly became furious and smashed the disgusting milk smoothie on the ground.
The glass shattered with a snap, making the two governors tremble. Long Wei was indeed inviolable!
No one dared to say anything, and then a firm voice sounded from the corner.
"Your Majesty is asking about silver! 1.2 billion gold francs, which is 290 million taels of silver!" Er Mao stood up. He looked up at the aloof Emperor Tongzhi, as if he was looking at the globe when he first entered the Forbidden City. The boy I haven't seen before.
"Your Majesty, 290 million taels of silver, this number cannot be wrong!"
Emperor Tongzhi turned pale and said with trembling lips, "Is it...a lot?"
