Mo Ergeng, the old surname is Guerjia, and his father is Erle Dengbao, who left a little name in the late Qing Dynasty.

This Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, who has been Jilin Zhuhu for generations, was once a general under Hailancha. Although inferior to Fukangan, he is also as famous as Delentai, He Lin and others, the only difference is that he lived long enough, unlike Delentai who died a little early. In the final Battle of Yakutsk, because the Manchu Jiaqing Emperor Yonghui was betrayed by Alessandro, the former governor of the Russian Governorate of the Amur River, Baron Falarev, and the liaison officer between Russia and the Qing Dynasty, along with three or four hundred guards, died on the banks of the Lena River. And Elden was killed in that battle.

Because Eredeng died late, his official title at the time of his death was the Minister of the Guards of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, which was a positive official title, and he also wore a marquis's hat on his head, so Mo Ergeng's forehead was a little bit of weight and status in the Zongshe Party of the Remnant Qing Dynasty, especially in force and action.

Now, as Pitt's deputy, he came all the way from London to China, and he made an appointment with Ushner as soon as possible.

When the British wanted to privately organize an elite squad, Mo Ergeng was originally the first person in charge of the Zongsha Party, but he 'conceded' it to the Ushne, and in the following years, the Ushne's status in the Zongsha Party skyrocketed. Regardless of what Mo Er Geng thought at the beginning, Urshne was grateful to Mo Er Geng Er anyway.

This gratitude does not all come from the rise of internal status, but also because it makes Ushner feel his own value, that is, he is a real knife and a real gun with Chen Han, flies fall on the surface of his feet, dirty and disgusting dead, isn't it?

The Ushnes are a hundred people who don't look down on the waste that eats and dies in Europe. If you want to say that this forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and the Zongshe Party is not disgusting Chen Han inside and out.

In this organization, there are not many factions, such as the East and West factions, which refers to the Jiaqing Emperor Yonghui in the east, and the Prince Yongying in the west, and in addition to these two factions, there are also a large number of neutral factions. The various factions can be roughly divided into four categories, the first is the radical faction, of which the Ushne is the representative; the second is the Stability faction, of which Mo Ergeng is a member; The third is the overseas faction, that is, they are bent on developing overseas, and they feel that it is nonsense to counterattack the Central Plains and revive the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is better to live honestly in the European territory, which is the overseas faction. The loudest with the radicals is the overseas faction; It's just that in terms of its own intentions, the overseas faction is not the most excessive, and the most excessively is the fourth type of people in the Zongshe Party - the indifferent faction, who ignore all actions and only live their own small lives.

It stands to reason that this kind of person is the most hated by the radicals, but it is strange to say that the radicals are always staring at the overseas faction and biting. The reason is that the latter is indifferent to everything in the Zongshe Party, so naturally they will not fight for power and profit, and they will not have any sense of existence. There are always competing interests between factions and factions.

The slap in the face was a combination of radicals and heavyweights, and the overseas faction also provided some help, such as the relationship between capital and Western businessmen.

In fact, the intention of this overseas force to seek to assassinate Chen Ming is not once or twice. When Chen Ming went out to inspect that time, they were all haunted by ghosts, but unfortunately, who was Chen Ming? He was the emperor of the Chen Han Empire, look at the Chinese emperors of all dynasties, which emperor of a strong dynasty was assassinated? Chinese emperors are not as easy to kill as the Western world.

Bo Lang did not kill Qin Shi Huang with a single blow. The power of the Zongshe Party in China is far worse than that of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and Chen Ming's consideration for security is much more careful than that of Qin Shi Huang. The Zongshe Party relied on money, even if it was a group of outlaws, it was useless. The emperor's perimeter was very well guarded, and there was no chance of attacking at all. On the contrary, he also showed his feet several times because of the habits of those outlaws, and in his early years, he was chased by the state security and the police, and there was no way to enter the earth.

Many of the forces left by the Manchus on the mainland were all destroyed because of this.

Later, the well-behaved Zongshe began to plot to build their own armed organization, but they were military waste, and the British would not let their dogs become wolves. It wasn't until the British also had this plan and were ready to cause chaos to the Chinese government that the two sides hit it off.

Therefore, this operation is quite significant, because for the first time, this is the first time that the members of the operation team are all trained elites. But no matter how elite these people are, it is impossible to touch Chen Ming's shadow. This operation is just a slap in the face!

The British did not have the ambition of the Japanese Ryuichi Yamaguchi and the Italian Li Andong to dare to bombard Tiananmen Square.

Of course, this gunshot was not the overall intention of the British, and the explosion was the best choice to slap China in the face. Of course, if you can take the opportunity to kill a few people on the viewing platform, it will be worth leaving the entire operation team in China.

"Our target is not Chen Ming's old thief, the common people are the real target." Urshner could not forget the words he had heard from Pete.

……

As time passed, the martial law in Nanjing became more and more tense day by day. More and more officers and policemen have appeared in the streets and alleys, and patrol booths have appeared at many intersections and prosperous road sections, and it can be said that the number of military and police officers in the entire city of Nanjing has increased by more than one level compared with before. The trumpet sounded, and the gate of the Praetorian Guard camp was slowly opened with a "creak". The red flag fluttering on the playground and the rising sun complemented each other, and the whole city of Nanjing woke up from its slumber.

It didn't take long for dawn to go, but the military and police on duty were already in place. A bridge on the side of the Qinhuai River, this is a newly added checkpoint, early in the morning, vegetable vendors, villagers have already carried the cart to the outpost.

Recently, there have been a lot of floating populations in Nanjing, and no one knows how many people there are, but people from all over the world are pouring into Nanjing, and there are still many places that have entered Beijing in groups, roughly speaking, there are hundreds of thousands. Many of these people have a lot of money in their pockets, and the consumption energy is unusually high. This made the vegetable farmers and vegetable sellers around Nanjing City rich. It's just that as time goes by, the inspection of Nanjing City has become more and more strict. Whether they enter or leave Nanjing, their belongings must be strictly inspected by the military and police on duty, and even the dung trucks of the city guards must be lifted to let the soldiers look at them twice. And the inspection soldiers also hold an extra-large magnet in their hands, which is definitely the first inspection method in the world. But it caused a lot of trouble for some people!

This is a necessary precautionary measure in Nanjing, the time has entered November, seeing that the countdown to the ceremony has begun, the security level of Nanjing City has been raised to the highest level, not only entering and leaving the city to be inspected by the checkpoints, even wandering on the street, may be interrogated by the patrol.

During this period of time, the most important thing for Ushner, Murgung, Monkey, Pete and others is to ensure their personal safety, and never to fall into the hands of the military and police at this time.

Their big frame has been put down, and it only needs a little bit of refinement, and then quietly wait for the moment.

this day.

Pete was in a meeting with Mo Ergeng, Ushne, Kim Yongtai and others, and suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a person rushed in from outside, it was Pete's personal bodyguard Aticha. This is a Siamese man, but a Muay Thai master. At the age of twenty-five or sixteen, he is at his peak.

Inside, Aticha made a beeline for Pete, whispered a few words in Pete's ear, and then hurried out of the conference room. Then, Pete, whose face suddenly cooled, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we just got the news that the military guards near us are under martial law." Seriously, Pete's heart is going to jump at this moment, the Chinese's punishment methods for foreign spies have always been severe, if he is caught by the Chinese, there is a chance that he will lose his head. And the London government won't say a word for him.

It can't be blamed on Pete for thinking too much, they are in a meeting, but there is a sudden military cordon nearby, and Pete has a hundred reasons to think that there is a hateful traitor within them.

A pair of gray-blue eyes scanned everyone present sharply, and Aticha also walked into the conference room with a few people at this time, and everyone was bulging in their arms, looking at the people in front of them like wolves.

The atmosphere in the conference room was instantly as cold as ice, like a cloud of low-pressure cold air blowing from the Arctic Ocean swept here, and the entire room was frozen in an instant.

After Pete finished speaking, everyone held their breath, they didn't have guns in hand. Even if someone did snitch, Pete would have been able to drag them all on his back before the military police rushed in, when several gunshots rang out outside.

"Smack"

"Bang! Bang! ”

The crisp sound of gunfire and the dull sound of gunfire were mixed together, and although it was a little difficult to tell what kind of gun, the people in the conference room still judged that the gunfire came from the community next door to them at the first time, and the distance was very close, but it was definitely not the same community.

Hearing the sound of gunfire close at hand, there was a slight commotion in the conference room, but the atmosphere was no longer as cold as solidification. Even Pete had a smile on his face. Aticha quickly turned the door, and returned a moment later to whisper a few words in Pete's ear.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Pete waved his hands to reassure the crowd.

"The gunshots came from the neighborhood next door to ours. Haha, a false alarm, a false alarm. Everyone should be calm now, don't leave in a hurry, and take a look at the situation first. It's still very spacious, and I also have poker, mahjong, chess, and Go here, so you can play here for a while...... "At least wait until the battle next door is over and see how it goes."

And not far away, in a hotel on the street, a banquet is being held.

It was a banquet hosted by a little-known foreign trade company, and the guests were also European business partners who had just arrived.

Diagonally across from the neighborhood where Pete and the others were hiding, the hall was full of laughter and laughter. Upstairs in this hotel, five or six waiters are carrying suitcases of all sizes to deliver guests to their rooms.

The owner of the foreign trade company naturally attended in person, and the hotel also prepared a wealth of ingredients for the banquet, in addition to some vegetables and fruits, the hotel also brought the best steak, fresh tuna, lobster, oysters and other seafood, in addition to the best wine that can be bought on the market, it can be said that the effort has been exhausted.

"Philip, so your family owns three thousand acres of cotton plantations in India? That's a lot of money. The boss whispered to his business partner's friend.

This is a guy who came to China with a friend, but of course that's just in name.

"Yes. Now that India is at war, there is no time to see when it will stop. Prices on plantations are generally declining. And now the cotton market is not as good as it used to be. Philip said, raising his hand. The reason why his family was able to get 3,000 acres of plantations from India in one fell swoop was largely because the value of Indian plantations was depreciating.

"Friends. My grandfather was a merchant who came to China to do business, he was only the youngest son of an aristocratic family with no inheritance rights, but 50 years later, with his wisdom and courage, we have succeeded in gaining social recognition, and the plantations in India are only part of our family's assets. But if things don't change, this plantation will eventually be inherited by me.

I need to turn the cotton from the plantation into lovely bills, after all I need to feed myself, and those thirty-plus slaves. Philip put down his fork and continued: "I don't want to follow my uncle's example, he started a woollen factory in Liverpool using the wool he grew on his ranch in Ireland, producing some cloth, stockings and gloves, but unfortunately with limited profits.

In recent years, China's wool industry has become more and more developed.

For plantations in India, my father and I preferred to convert them into sugarcane, cocoa or tobacco plantations, which were the most sought-after goods and the most profitable for the family. But before he could replant, Philip needed to find a generous buyer for the cotton that had already been harvested this year.

"What? Is your family ready to give up growing cotton? "The boss is happy, the market of cotton has been really bad over the years, who made the cotton in the northwest grow so well. But tobacco and sugar cane are good things, and government surveys over the years show that domestic tobacco consumption and sugar consumption have been steadily rising, and 3,000 acres is not a small area, and if it is replanted, it will be much more valuable than a cotton plantation.

The boss knew in his heart that his partner brought Philip here, which was to bridge the gap between the two sides. The boss only thought it was a cotton plantation before, and muttered that the cotton business was not good, but now things are easy to do.

"Sugar cane and tobacco are in high demand, and that's what anyone's eyes can see."

Philip looked at the Chinese boss in front of him very sincerely, "I hope that we can establish a strong cooperative relationship and become true friends." Don't let those unnecessary external factors delay us from making money. "The external factor that Philip is talking about is self-evident, and that is the deteriorating 'friendship' between China and the UK.

But Philip always believed that there would be no real war between China and Britain, and even if China were to go to war, he felt that Britain would back down.

It's because tea is so important to the UK.

The boss smiled, raised his glass happily, and motioned to Philip: "Then, toast to our future cooperation and friendship!" ”

"Haha, cheers! My friend. ”
