In the end, these smart-aleck people didn’t keep any property, and they were even taken to the construction site to move bricks.
This is a lifetime of moving bricks on a construction site.
There may still be a small number of people who have hidden their things without being discovered. After all, the Tenglong Army is not a god. Of course, this is only a minority.
Magang was then assigned to Guangdong and became a prefecture.
Li Jianfeng took people to Magang to hunt down local tyrants and divide their fields.
The people of Ma Gang can finally live the same happy life as the people of other Tenglong Kingdoms.
No longer being squeezed and exploited by the Francois.
The next day, Li Jingxiao left several warships to cooperate with Avila in evacuating overseas Chinese.
Avila was beaten severely yesterday and was still lying on the hospital bed. Gilmary was taking care of him. I have to say that this secretary was still very considerate.
Fernando takes over Avila's job. He will follow other soldiers and nationals back home and leave Ma Harbor.
Li Jingxiao led a large army to Xiangjiang.
After the first war in Xiangjiang in the 21st year of Daoguang (1841), the British occupied Xiangjiang tyrannically.
Later, the Qing government tried to regain Xiangjiang and carried out multiple military conquests, but the Qing Dynasty was never able to defend its territorial integrity.
Xiangjiang was ceded to Britain in the unequal treaty signed in 1842.
In 1860, the Kowloon Peninsula disappeared again.
The current British Governor in Hong Kong is Arthur Edward Kennedy, who is also the seventh Governor in Hong Kong.
Yesterday, he had received news that the Tenglong Kingdom's navy was making big moves and was preparing to regain Xiangjiang and Ma'ang.
Fortunately, the Tenglong Army chose to deal with Ma Gang first, giving him a chance to breathe.
It's just that this Folang machine is too unreliable. It only took a short time, one day, to surrender without firing a single shot.
A large amount of their property has not yet been transferred.
He knew very well about Li Jingxiao that if the geese plucked their feathers, they would shed their skin even if they didn't die.
In addition, they are hostile forces, and there is a war going on in Tibet near the Flying Cake Country.
No matter from any aspect, they have no advantage.
It is absolutely impossible for him to surrender like the Franco Kingdom.
William Robert Alexander, commander of the British Army in Hong Kong, said to Arthur Edward Kennedy: "My Lord Governor, I, England, have never been so aggrieved. If you want to fight, we will fight. Surrender is impossible."
Police Commissioner Xue Darong said: "We have a small number of police officers and can maintain law and order. We don't have any extra troops to protect your Ministry of War."
Most of the police force in Xiangjiang are recruited from Xiangjiang.
The Army Police Force only has 5,000 people, of which 2,000 are British soldiers and 3,000 are also from Hong Kong.
Most people in Xiangjiang are just trying to make ends meet, so one can imagine their fighting power.
It's just that Kennedy and Alexander have an enigmatic confidence.
They thought that they had strong forts, a large number of brave soldiers, no shortage of food or weapons and ammunition, and they were on the defensive side, so they could hold on for a year and a half.
There are nearly 10,000 people in the army and police force.
Kennedy said: "Okay, don't talk anymore, I decided to fight."
"Surrender is not the style of us British people. I must let them know that we are not easy to mess with."
"yes."
"yes."
"The Governor's recovery of Hong Kong today will definitely not be as simple as his recovery of Ma'ang yesterday."
"Well, then beat them until they are convinced!"
"Yes, Grand Governor."
After a while, Li Jingxiao discovered something was wrong. Why was the battleship Zheng Chenggong retreating while other warships were rushing forward.
The battleship Hu Zongxian has replaced the battleship Zheng Chenggong, and the battleship Zheng Chenggong takes the lead to form a new flying geese formation.
"Zheng Yong, Li Mu."
"Here, come!"
"what happened?"
"Why didn't our warship take the lead and fall on the sharp knives of the second row of flying geese array?"
"Grand Governor, generally the flagships are commanded from behind. Our battleship Zheng Chenggong and the battleship Hu Zongxian belong to the same class of battleships."
"It is normal for a non-flagship battleship to take the lead, with the flagship commanding from behind and acting as the sharp knife in the second row."
"Bullshit, you think I don't know. I'm on this warship. You're afraid and don't dare to charge, right?"
"Charge me, what the heck, I'm leading the army charge and I'm at the front. I'm still afraid of this?"
"Adjust the formation, the battleship Zheng Chenggong and the battleship Hu Zongxian form a new sharp blade and rush towards the British coastal defense position!"
"yes."
"Pass my order, the battleship Zheng Chenggong and the battleship Hu Zongxian form a sharp knife, three rows of flying geese formation to attack the British coastal defense position."
After Li Shui received the order on the battleship Hu Zongxian.
"Commander, Commander Zheng just issued an order to adjust the formation. Our ship and Zheng Chenggong's ship formed a sharp knife attack."
"What?"
"Is Zheng Yong crazy?"
"The Grand Governor is on his warship. If anything happens to him, Zheng Yong will die ten times. It will be useless."
"Commander, this should be the order of the Grand Governor."
"The Grand Governor is not that easy to fool. We all know that he has such a life-threatening character."
"Hey, this Zheng Yong won't even tell a lie. Just follow the order. My eyes have been opened. I can't let the battleship Zheng Chenggong be hit by a single shot."
"Our warship can sink, and you and I can die. The Grand Governor cannot have any accidents."
"yes!"
"Pass my order, turn the rudder to the right side of the warship and leave the left side free."
…
Robert said: "Governoradult, the Tenglong Navy has entered our range and can fire."
Kennedy replied: "You can fire..."
"Boom boom boom boom boom..."
As soon as Kennedy finished speaking, the Tenglong Army took the lead and launched a round of artillery fire on the position.
The first round was all about measuring accuracy, and soon the second round started to launch.
The British army began to fight back from the running position.
The two sides launched a fierce artillery battle, and the sea was filled with smoke.
There was also intensive artillery fire on Xiangjiang Island, but the warships of the Tenglong Navy were better equipped and the morale of the soldiers was high. The more they fought, the more momentum they gained.
Kennedy had truly seen the power of the Tenglong Navy.
No wonder their navy suffered at the hands of the Tenglong Empire.
Kennedy was also a soldier before, but later retired from politics and came to Hong Kong to become a governor.
He still had a good way of fighting, and ordered the coastal defense troops to take aim.
You can concentrate your firepower and attack one target non-stop.
The Tenglong Kingdom kept recording the firepower points on the opposite side and measuring the distance.
Warships have certain advantages. They are not fixed and can be moved at any time.
But the position is dead and cannot be moved, and the cannon is too heavy to be fired at to change places.
It's very lively on both sides.
Coastal defense guns are generally heavy guns, larger than many warship guns.
But there are advantages and disadvantages. The bigger the cannon is, the more powerful it will be, but the speed will be slower.
The Tenglong Army is still targeting the English coastal defense positions.
In less than an hour, several cannons on England's coastal defense positions were destroyed.
There were wailing and crying sounds everywhere on the battlefield, and corpses and severed limbs were everywhere...
