I can't die

Ryukyu Qingying delegation?

Except for the wealthy people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty who all looked depressed when they received the inspection that they had to go to. Similarly, the naval admiral He Bo who was stationed in China also seemed to have eaten rice fields.Only the British have ever driven the Qing people. When did the Royal Navy of Great Britain become the nanny of the Qing merchants?

protest!protest!Uncle He expressed great dissatisfaction with Pacharley's behavior of "seeking trouble for nothing". Obviously, in his soldier's eyes, all military activities other than fighting are just looking for trouble for nothing. fight?It is not very good to let the people of the Qing Dynasty fight by themselves, why join them? !

However, it is clear that Pacharley, as the highest military and political head of Great Britain stationed in China, completely disregarded Ho Bo's intentions. The idea of ​​"we must send these yellow-skinned people overseas to gain experience" made them fully aware of "the greatness of capitalism".

Ever since, under the joint promotion of Zai Chun, the Supreme Head of State of the Qing Dynasty, and Pacharley, the Supreme Head of Great Britain in China, these foreigners from Jiangsu and Zhejiang had no choice but to rush the ducks to the shelves, and they were stuffed into the Ryukyu Kingdom in the midst of screaming. ship.

Li Hongzhang, as the supreme leader in the south-central region of the Qing Dynasty, held a grand appraisal meeting for this Ryukyu Qingying delegation, and even personally sent these rich and powerful people of the Qing Dynasty to British warships one by one at the mouth of the Wusong River.Because Li Hongzhang followed all the way, many wealthy businessmen who wanted to retreat halfway were swallowed into the vast sea when they found the opportunity to quit.

"OMG!!! Ugh!!!"

Countless pampered and wealthy businessmen crawled on the railing and vomited wildly not long after boarding the ship: Your Majesty! !I want to go home! ! !

Li Hongzhang: You can go at ease. I hope that after returning, everyone will join in the cause of common prosperity for the whole world.That's right!During this overseas inspection, Zai Chun’s banner was to communicate with foreign countries and promote the common prosperity of the world. The Ryukyu Kingdom is the most favored vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty must of course contribute to its prosperity.

Oh hehehe. .The wealthy merchants of the Qing Dynasty felt that they had been shown off.

Let's talk about the Ryukyu side.After Liu Xiang and Zhang Zhidong learned that the wealthy businessman delegation from the Qing Dynasty was about to arrive in the Ryukyu Kingdom within ten days, they knew that their days of enjoying leisure and not working hard were over.

Isn't it?We can't procrastinate any longer and leave a mess to those wealthy businessmen. Otherwise, who would be willing to invest when those wealthy businessmen saw the appearance of the war in Ryukyu?

beat!The Japanese pirates in Ryukyu must be wiped out quickly.When the King of Ryukyu heard that the Qing army, which had been eating and drinking for half a month, was finally about to mobilize, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He quickly sent more than 300 people to form a guide group to guide the Qing army and help them eliminate the fleeing In the major Japanese pirate strongholds in Ryukyu.

In fact, after the Okinawa Port was leveled by the Great Qingshui Division, there were not many Japanese pirates in the Ryukyu mainland, only some diehards remained on some surrounding small islands.In this regard, Zhang Zhidong and Liu Xiangbing divided into two groups, one of them sailed to the surrounding islands of the Ryukyu main island with a warship, and began to sweep the local area with the foreign gun army and Ryukyu guides along the way.

For these Japanese pirates, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, who had been gearing up for a long time and planned to fight a good battle to loosen their muscles and bones, were definitely 1 happy. They took fire-guns at the Japanese pirates and swept them wildly. Many Japanese pirates did not even leave their last words. I was swept into a sieve, it's really a pity.

And the overseas rogues who were also targeted by the Qing warships were also not much better.The army of the Qing Dynasty drove over, just like playing a game. When they saw a small island, they faced the stormy bombardment above. In an instant, these small islands were full of potholes, the ground was shaking, the mountains were shaking, and the sea breeze smelled fishy. Quite a lot.

"My lord, this looks a bit ugly."

Zhang Zhidong's adjutant looked at the disfigured Haidao who was bombarded and couldn't help but said.That’s right, Zhang Zhidong also felt that if these merchants saw such a virtuous Ryukyu, it would be difficult to raise their interest in investing here. Who the hell would be willing to establish a business in a place like a cemetery?This is too unlucky.

"Tell the dead body to be thrown into the sea."

Zhang Zhidong frowned, thinking that there were many sharks in the sea, and smelling the bloody smell, he should be able to dispose of these pirate corpses every few days, so he made such a decision.only. . .What about the devastated Ryukyu Kingdom?In a few days, the inspection team from the Qing Dynasty will be here. Don't scare them when they see the potholes and dilapidated walls.

"Go, tell the brave soldiers to put back all the things they snatched a few days ago, and put them where they came from."

When the adjutant heard this, he immediately frowned and became displeased: "I'm afraid this is difficult, who is willing to take out something that has been swallowed?"

"It's the same for you. You tell them to go to the accounting room to register before putting it back. Whoever owns it is dead. It's not that it's confiscated. It's just that you put it back first. When the merchants leave later, it's still theirs."

Zhang Zhidong dismissed the adjutant, quite a bit resentful of his failure to be strong.

"Then do you want to clean up the Okinawa port first?"

The port of Okinawa is the largest external port of the Ryukyu Island. A large ship with a draft as deep as a British warship must only dock here.Zhang Zhidong thought about the time, but felt that it would be too late to clean up the Okinawa port now. He is not a god, so he can rebuild a large port in a few days?

"Just ask them to put it back where it came from. As for cleaning up, let's forget it. Make a few more roads, so that the carriage can go." Zhang Zhidong laughed, and then threw himself into it again. Fighting Japanese pirates, occupying territory, and destroying the Ryukyu king's career.

Ten days passed in a hurry, and the merchants of the Qing Dynasty finally came to the land of the Ryukyu Kingdom in the midst of a series of seasickness after eating and vomiting.

"It's great to be here alive..." Liu Xiang's uncle, Liu Xingzhi, as the representative of the new Zhejiang Commercial Bank, looked at the land that finally appeared in front of him, and was so excited that he was about to shed tears.

Then, he literally shed tears. .

"What the hell?! We need to go to this place ourselves?!"

But seeing the Ryukyu port from a distance, there is not even a complete building, and even the only wooden tower is crooked, which looks like a refugee cave.
