"Damn it, where are you going?"

On the bruised druid, Börmä, whose head was still bleeding, roared in grief.

At the same time, a cannonball weighing at least sixty pounds slammed into the deck not far from him like a meteor, and with a loud bang, the broken wood flew like a scattered bullet, and the hapless Bomai was stuck in the thigh with a piece of broken wood, and he fell to his knees screaming, and there was a large hole in the place where the cannonball hit, and there was a scream inside.

Well, all the artillery of the Qing army is aimed at them, and they are firing!

And without any hesitation at all, all the cannons on the two batteries of Weiyuan and Jingyuan were all fired at the British army.

In other words, the firepower of Humen Fortress can be called a change.

Although the loss caused to the British by this fortress in the original history was minimal, it is said in conscience that this fortress is really strong, and several forts on Weiyuan Island, including Weiyuan, Zhenyuan, and Jingyuan, add up to more than two hundred guns, and there is a barrage between the upper rungs and Weiyuan batteries in the middle of the Pearl River, and there is a battery on the upper rung, and there is also one on the west bank of the Pearl River. In particular, the power of those 10,000-pound cannons is even more powerful, and their defensive capabilities are not inferior to the top fortresses in Europe.

Originally, the British army in history could pull away and smash it hard with strength, the Battle of Humen was that the three seventy-four guns and third-class ships were all on the battlefield, especially the thirty-two-pounder Caron gun on the top deck fired flower shells on the back, coupled with the tragic will of the Qing army to fight, even Guan Tianpei's bravery could not make up for the erosion of the entire system, which achieved the victory of the British army, and a less bad army could be inflicted a heavy blow on the British army.

But Bomai is different at this time!

He came to ask for help, he was almost within the range of all the artillery of the Qing army, he was only a few hundred meters away from the Weiyuan battery, such a distance is completely a target, especially those heavy coastal defense guns can be released to the fullest, the Qing army is far away, the two major forts in Jingyuan have hundreds of cannons, and a salvo will almost destroy the hapless Gallop, and this small cruiser even began to sink immediately.

And this scene made Guan Tianpei stupid.

"Where are you hitting?"

He grabbed an officer by the clothes and yelled at him.

"Junmen, the little home is here!"

The officer said with a sad face.

Guan Tianpei was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the unfriendly eyes of the officers and soldiers around him

Indeed, their families are here!

The defenders of Humen Fortress are not those who are transferred from all over the country to quell the rebellion, this is where the ancestors have lived here for generations, except for a few officers and generals, those lower-level officers and soldiers are locals, he Guan Tianpei can be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, because if he surrenders, his family in Jiangsu will have to be beheaded, but these soldiers are different, if there is still hope in the Qing Dynasty, everyone can be loyal to the emperor and exchange a reward, but this Qing Dynasty has a fart hope, everyone is loyal to the relatives in Guangdong who have to be raided by the Ming army, and the death is meaningless, On the contrary, it is different, they are the Green Battalion and not the Eight Banners, even those officers are the same, Yang Feng did kill those officials, but the premise is that there is no defection and meritorious service, and sinking the British battleship is obviously considered a defection.

"You rebels, you thieves!"

Guan Tianpei looked up to the sky helplessly and roared, and then suddenly put the knife on his neck.

Not only him, but also those generals who were in other places also put their knives across their necks one after another, and then looked up to the sky with a sad and angry face, but this time no one stopped them, and those green battalion soldiers ignored them, and continued to use their cannons to aim at the Druid under the command of those junior officers, and the second ship of Dingzhen in the distance also hit the battleship with firepower, and Bermai, who was kneeling on the deck, watched his battleship shatter in the fire until he himself was also shattered.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a negative grace!"

Guan Tianpei looked at the Druid, which had begun to sink, and let out a sad cry, and resolutely pulled it on his neck with his waist knife......

"You didn't run?"

In the Governor's Mansion of Guangzhou and Guangzhou, Yang Feng looked at Wu Bingjian with some surprise, his subordinates in this Qianlong time and space have not died yet! At this moment, he was trembling at his feet, and it was really surprising to him, you must know that the Wu family was the leader of the Thirteen Lines, and the gentry of Guangzhou were also the leaders in organizing group training, and in fact, they were also the leaders of the smuggling crows in partnership with the British. Originally, there is a saying that Lin Zexu's death in history was poisoned by his son Wu Shaorong, and Lin Zexu's second minister investigated the teaching case and died suddenly in Puning, and said three words Xingdounan before he died, and these three words should be the homonym of Xindoulan in his Hokkien dialect, and Xindoulan is the street where the thirteen lines are located.

So in Yang Feng's opinion, it is impossible for Wu Bingjian to stay and wait for death.

And yet he stayed.

"Your Majesty, the grass people are stupid, they don't know the mandate of heaven to resist the death of the king, but in the twilight of their years, they don't want to die in a foreign land, so they dare to come to ask Your Majesty for their guilt, and the grass people dare not escape to death, even if Your Majesty gives the grass people death, they dare not complain, but I hope that Your Majesty will give the grass people all their corpses to the ruins of their parents, and everything the grass people have will be dedicated to the people given by His Majesty to atone for the sins of the grass people."

Wu Bingjian said cautiously.

"You think I'm embarrassed to kill you?"

Yang Feng sneered.

"Uh, the grass people are at the disposal of His Majesty!"

Wu Bingjian said.

"It's not impossible not to kill you."

Yang Feng pondered, in the final analysis, this is also Qianlong's own cabinet book, of course, this is not important, the important thing is that Wu Bingjian still has a lot of things that he hasn't taken out.

"Give your claims in the East India Company, your shares in the United States, and all these to the state, then not only will I not kill you, but your Wu family's property can continue to be kept except for land, although I want to equal the wealth and poverty of the world, but it is not forbidden for people like you to exist, you are indeed guilty, but your crimes cannot be regarded together with the Tartars after all."

He went on to say.

That's what he wants most.

A large part of Wu Bingjian's wealth is abroad, and although the East India Company's debts are suspicious in the United States' railroad mines, he does have a large amount of investment in the United States, otherwise he would not have thought of moving to the United States, and killing Wu Bingjian would have cheapened the British and American capitalists.

This kind of thing is obviously not worth it.

It doesn't matter whether Wu Bingjian dies or not, these investments he makes overseas are very important, if he can get these investments from him, then Yang Feng can justifiably penetrate Britain and the United States, relying on military strength as a backing, relying on the Wu family's investments as a legal basis, he can easily carry out large-scale economic penetration in Europe and the Americas, after all, it is impossible for him to expand to these places in the short term, so sucking blood from these places is the most important thing.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the grass people's property is all in the country, how can there be overseas assets."

Wu Bingjian lay there and said tremblingly.

"You're very bad, do you think you can deceive an immortal? I'll give you a chance, but don't think I'm very deceiving, your Wu family is a big family, and those sons of yours all have the rank of Tartar, they did run away, but where can they go? Don't think that they can escape the judgment of the people, I can take Guangzhou without much effort, do you think it will take how long it will take this world? Even if they run away, they will be caught by me sooner or later, and at that time, do you want to see the men of your Wu family all over the house, and the women of your family exiled to Borneo to give birth to those gold diggers? ”

Yang Feng said viciously.

"Your Majesty......"

Wu Bingjian lay there and said sadly.

"Give you an hour to think about it, and take him down to calm down."

Yang Feng waved his hand and said.

The two soldiers immediately took Wu Bingjian out.

"Next!"

Yang Feng said.

The next one is upside down.

Ma Dichen and Chadon are a group, their Jardine or now known as Chatun and Bao Shun are opponents, so Ma Dichen did not inform him before they went to Macau, and the unfortunate Budian led a group of sailors on the Water Demon to resist stubbornly after the poor people broke through Guangzhou, causing hundreds of casualties among the poor volunteers, until those volunteers dragged a dozen mountain splitting cannons to solve him.

"I'm British, I'm protected by British law, you can't do this to me!"

A bloody howl.

It was clear that he had been beaten by the angry people.

"Chop off the heads of him and all the Englishmen who are aiding in the city, and then pack them up and send them to Yilu, saying that although these people deserve their crimes, I will open up the net and allow them to return to their hometown."

Yang Feng waved his hand like a fly away.

The soldier immediately dragged the ground out.

"Next!"

Yang Feng then said.

The next one is still a ghost, and there are still three.

"You're pretty honest."

He looked at the Forbes brothers and Warren who were brought to his own and honestly fell to their knees. Di Lanno, this is the eldest of the former of Qichang Foreign Company, John. Forbes is John. Kerry's great-great-grandfather, and Di Lanor, Roosevelt's maternal grandfather, were both representatives of the American trade in China, and of course they were also crow sellers. Therefore, the United States is not as pure as the white lotus in the crow pian trade as the public knows, Qichang foreign company is the third largest crow pian dealer in Guangzhou, second only to Ma Dichen and Chatun Chadon foreign company is Jardine, and the upside down Baoshun foreign company, although because of the lack of strength, there can be no domineering dumping by the British, but the Americans also act as an agent for the small soil trade produced in the Ottoman Empire.

In addition, they are also important collaborators of Wu Bingjian.

"Your Majesty, we are only merchants and do not dare to do anything other than trade, and we consider Your Majesty to be fighting a holy war, just as Washington led us to liberation from the enslavement of the British, you are leading the people of this country to liberation from the enslavement of the Tatars."

John. Forbes said respectfully.

His brother and Di Lanno immediately chimed in.

"Haha, that's good, I like you sensible, you will be rewarded, and you will act as my painkiller in the future!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, your generosity and kindness are like the sunshine in the sky."

Di Lanno said excitedly.

Painkillers!

This is a real good thing, the East India Company agent is making a fortune, although it is said that the emperor handed over the agency of Europe and Asia to the East India Company, but for the Qichang Foreign Company, the rest of the sales to the Americas will also be rich, Boston, New York, Philadelphia those American rich people will treat this thing as a treasure.

Not to mention the markets all over South America.

"I've always been generous and merciful to those who are sensible, but I'm a slap in the face for those who think they're a powerful empire, and I like to slap them so that they know who they are!"

Yang Feng said.

The Forbes brothers and Di Lanno smiled knowingly.

"How did you get to Guangzhou?"

Yang Feng asked casually.

"Back to Your Majesty, we will sail from Boston across the Atlantic, then detour to the Cape of Good Hope into the Indian Ocean, and then sail along the coastline to China."

Di Lanno said.

"So much trouble? Wouldn't it take more than half a year to make a trip? It seems like we're separated by a Pacific Ocean, right? Why don't you cross the Pacific Ocean and go straight here? I remember someone walking like this a long time ago? Why did you still need to take a detour from Europe to the Cape of Good Hope? Wouldn't trade between us be more prosperous if we could build bridges of communication across the Pacific? Even in the future, you Americans can act as agents for trade from China to Europe, after all, from China to Europe you need to bypass Africa. ”

Yang Feng asked curiously.

The Forbes brothers and Di Lanno looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't know that the United States is in the eastern part of the Americas, and it is also necessary to detour south through the Strait of Magellan from Boston to China in the Pacific Ocean, and the distance is no closer than taking the Cape of Good Hope."

Di Lanno said.

"So there is no road connection from the west coast of the Americas to the east?"

Yang Feng asked.

"No, the Midwest is full of red ghosts, they are savage natives who will kill all outsiders who enter their territory, and there is no real port on the west coast, only a few settlers along the coast, they are not Americans, but Spaniards, and if you count them by territory, the land on the west coast is Mexican."

Di Lanno said.

"Spaniards? I don't like them! ”

Yang Feng said disdainfully.

"I admire you very much, at least you are more sensible than others, bring me the map!"

Then he said to the attendant beside him.

The latter immediately put a world map in front of him, and then Yang Feng called the Forbes brothers and Di Lanor to look at the map together, these guys diligently introduced to him the situation in the Americas, especially the main route from the United States to China, listening to His Majesty the Emperor nodded again and again, and showed a thoughtful expression, soon half an hour passed, when everything was introduced, Yang Feng suddenly put his hand on the map of North America, and announced his decision in the stunned eyes of the Forbes brothers and Di Lanno.

"I decided to build a railroad through East and West in North America, starting from here and going east to New York!"

He pointed to San Francisco.

"Huh?!"

The Forbes brothers and Di Lanno were all stupid.
