I can't die

Isn't it?Although the major foremen in Shanghai are basically disciples of the Qinggang, or they are thinking of ways to join the Qinggang, the Qinggang always talks about their hair, how can anyone dare to accept the lives of foreigners? No matter how much money you have, lest you commit taboos, walk around at night, get sacked in sacks, and sink the Huangpu River without knowing what happened.

Seeing this, everyone must know that the Qing Gang planned the Bund chamber pot incident from beginning to end.In fact, it’s not hard to guess. Apart from the Qing Gang, which has been in the water transport for many years and has a deep-rooted influence, who in Shanghai has the ability to conjure up so many toilets overnight?

Brand was also taken aback when he knew that no workers dared to pick up the cleaning job.People who can serve as the chairman of HSBC and the concession are not stupid. Immediately, various conspiracy theories emerged layer by layer.

"Go and get the Army Admiral Devoli and the Navy Admiral Ho Bo."

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Brand immediately asked his secretary to call the two top British military commanders who were also in Shanghai.As for where you said these two people are now?

The army admiral, De Foley, is okay, because the garrison is in the public concession, far away, and can't smell the smell, and the navy admiral He Bo, who often runs on warships, has long been smoked and ran to Jing'an's mansion to take refuge." Stinky" went.The two heard Brand's call, saying they were going to the Bund to meet?The two didn't discuss it at all, and they resolutely said NO!Just kidding, it's too late to avoid the "stinky". Isn't it courting death to run to the Bund at this time?

After hearing this, Brand was also helpless. In the end, the three decided to meet at the Jing'an mansion of Navy Admiral He Bo to discuss the great cause of "deodorization".Brand rode a carriage to Jing'an District. Only then did he feel that the stench was slowly fading away. He couldn't help but took a couple of breaths of fresh air, and he was still feeling better.Brand entered the Navy Admiral's mansion, without saying anything, first asked the servant to bring bread and milk and ate it in big mouthfuls.It's also very pitiful. I was smoked all morning, and I vomited whatever I ate, and my intestines became soft.

Not long after Brand arrived, Army Admiral Devoli also arrived.The three of them entered the conference room and started a formal meeting.Brand wanted the secretary to explain what he had investigated, and then glanced at the two admirals.But seeing that the two admirals also looked dull at this time, they said in disbelief: "Is this group of yellow-haired monkeys going to turn the world upside down?"

Brand fanned the wind, but also looked helpless: "Isn't it? It seems that there is collusion."

"What the hell are those officials from the Qing Dynasty doing? Brand, have you asked someone to go to Shanghai Mansion to ask?" Navy Admiral He Bo asked.

At this point, Brand's expression was as if he had eaten more than 30 catties of rice: "I sent someone to ask, there is no one in the Shanghai mansion, even the yamen servants are gone, only a janitor is left Master, the county magistrate ran away early and disappeared, and I heard that he was sent to see a doctor because of the smell."

Shanghai was originally just a small county, under the administration of Songjiang Prefecture. Later, due to the opening of the treaty port, Shanghai Prefecture was newly established. It is close to the public concession and not far from the Bund.The magistrate can be regarded as a sixth-rank official, which is not small.

"What about Li Hongzhang, Governor of Jiangsu? Did you send someone to him?" Army Admiral De Foley asked again.

Brand replied: "The person sent said that Li Hongzhang has returned to Jiangning."

"Why go back to Jiangning?" The two admirals looked surprised.

"Sir, Jiangning is the capital of Jiangsu." The little secretary stepped forward to remind him.

Li Hongzhang, governor of Jiangsu, stayed in Shanghai for a long time, making foreigners think that Shanghai is the capital of Jiangsu.It was only when the little secretary mentioned it that he realized that it was normal for Li Hongzhang to stay in Jiangning all the year round.

It's just a coincidence, right?The Bund on the front foot is surrounded by chamber pots, and the magistrate of Shanghai and the governors of the two rivers on the back foot are all gone. Ghosts will think that they are not in there.

"Speaking of which, I don't know one thing. Where does this group of people have the energy to make such a big commotion overnight?" Brand asked Admiral Ho Bo of the Navy.To say that the geographical location of the British Concession is excellent, with the Huangpu River to the east, the French Concession to the south, and the Public Concession to the north and west, it can be described as an authentic country within a country.If someone wanted to transport something, besides Jiangdao, he would have to go through the major concessions first before reaching the British concession.

Navy Admiral He Bo was also taken aback by this question, and then said firmly: "It is absolutely impossible to come up from the river." Now on Huangpu, two British warships are stuck on the west and the east. Suspicious ships passing by will definitely alert the warships and sailors.

"The public concession?"

There are three armies stationed in the International Settlement, one is the British Army, the other is the Qing Dynasty Foreign Gun Corps, and the third is the French Army, of which the British Army has the largest number.Army admiral De Foley shook his head, he still had this confidence.

"Then it can only come from the French Concession..."

The eyes of the three of them sank at the same time, and they felt that this matter was getting trickier.It would be okay if this matter was just a trick of the Qing Dynasty, but if the French were involved, it would not be easy to solve it with military coercion.Although Great Britain is known as the empire on which the sun never sets, looking at the world, it cannot be said that it can step on anyone it wants, and France is among them.

In France, after the July Revolution overthrew the Bourbon dynasty in 1830, capitalist production relations were established.In the 60s, France was in the Second French Empire, with Napoleon III as the head of the empire.The empire implemented an economic policy to promote the development of capitalist industry and commerce, established a large industry, and completed the industrial revolution. Both its military and industrial strength have been greatly improved, and it was even in a battle with Russia. dominance in continental Europe.Even if the British want to fight against France, they have to weigh whether they will die or not.

"It's not easy to ask the crime clearly."

Brand thought so. Three years ago (1860), Britain and France had just signed the "French-British Commercial Treaty" and formed the world's most shameless colonial team, smashing and looting together, from Syria, Mexico, Indochina to Africa has jointly plundered a lot of wealth, and it is time for the honeymoon period.It must not be raised to the diplomatic level because of this. (The Opium War was also planned by the two countries.)

"But we can't just let it go like this." More than half of the world's heavyweight banks are located on the Bund, and they are always so stinking. Great Britain will lose face to the whole world.

"It's better to meet with the French director. Wouldn't you help the soldiers clean it up first?"

"what?"

The army admiral Shi Di Fuli's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he joked that the soldiers under him were spit up before they reached the Huangpu River. . .

"Okay, then you can ask HSBC to approve a sum of money for the soldier's medical treatment." Don't make the soldier vomit. .
