In the afterglow of the setting sun, the river was sparkling with gold, and a small merchant ship drifted down the river, which was the ship of Wen Xian and others heading to Nanjing.

Moon Ham, Ali Kook, Kim Noh Hyung, and Rawell stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the magnificent and magnificent scenery, and remained silent for a long time.

"Whoa!" A finless porpoise suddenly jumped out of the water, breaking the calm, and Jin Nengheng said: "I am more and more jealous of the Chinese, gentlemen, how peaceful and beautiful this land is, but it is really hell, why did God give them such a good land?" They don't believe in God at all! ”

At that time, the United States and the United States were completely out of bounds, and the full name of the United States was the Great American Federation, which was a place of plague in the eyes of Europeans, that is, a place where dirty and infectious diseases were prevalent.

Before the second siege of Vienna by Ottoman Turkey, due to the huge threat from the large neighbors, the Europeans were in danger of extinction, Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries had to open up the American continent as a refuge in the event of a crisis. and exiled nobles who lost the court struggle.

These people constitute the foundation of the United States, even after the victory of the Revolutionary War, the relationship between the states of the United States is still relatively tense, the warlords and the feudal lords of the land are constantly at war, especially with the indigenous people There are irreconcilable contradictions, in short, the United States is full of violence and barbarism, human life is not guaranteed, fraud is also pervasive in every corner, a little careless, the money that has been accumulated hard-earned will fall into the pockets of others, and it is legal, in short, the American society pursues the principle of the great respect, the winner takes all, Pursuing the law of the jungle of Chiguoguo is a real era of feudal separation.

If we compare it with China, it is roughly similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the president of the United States was elected by various candidates in order to coordinate interests, which is equivalent to the status of Zhou Tianzi, so the president of the United States is often assassinated and subject to more constraints.

There are two main pillar industries in the United States, one is opium ~~ tablets, opium ~~ tablets are sold to Asia, and the other is tobacco, tobacco is sold to Europe, almost everyone in British adult men at that time smoked, smoking tobacco originating in the United States, although the industry has a sign of rising, but compared with Britain and France and other old capitalist countries, it is still in its infancy.

And the geography of the American continent is also very distinctive, its east and west coasts each have a north-south mountain range, blocking the input of water vapor, causing the inland hinterland to be dry and hot, at the same time, whenever the strong cold air in winter goes south, sandstorms, black storms can sweep the north and south!

As for Kim Neng-hyung, he is not a descendant of the nobility of the European powers, he is just an adventurer and speculator who came to China with the dream of making a fortune.

Others call him a foreign lord, a foreign lord, the local officials of the Great Qing Kingdom saw him, as expensive as Xu Naizhao also had to serve carefully, touching his conscience and saying that Jin Nengheng did not want to return to China, but his term of office is approaching, he is the acting consul, and in February next year, the official consul will take office!

Against the state machine, Jin Nengheng is not so bold, leaving office is a foregone conclusion, and all he can think about at present is to make a big deal before leaving, just the deal of 100,000 grenades

Jin Nengheng's heart slammed, and he hurriedly asked, "Everyone, did you say that Lord Xu fell into the hands of Wang Feng?" ”

Wen Xian, Ali Guo and Ra Er all twitched the corners of their mouths, Wen Xian is better, he occupies one-sixth of the shares of Aina's pen, which will bring extremely considerable returns, the grenade transaction is in a dispensable position for him personally, and the latter two are dripping blood in their hearts, they also made a fortune in China, if this transaction is disrupted, it is undoubtedly an extremely huge loss, judging from the current shape, Xu Naizhao is most likely to be fierce and lucky.

But the three were reluctant to deal with the Qing court through the envoy in Beijing, because the envoy would certainly hand over the order to the forces behind them, kick them away, and at most give them a symbolic government reward.

Ah Liguo shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I hope that Lord Xu has already given the Qing Emperor a lesson, but we still have to make another preparation, that is, to negotiate with Wu Jianzhang, if Xu Naizhao is killed by Wang Feng, Wu Jianzhang will become the supreme governor of southern Jiangsu." ”

When these words fell, the four of them all took a puff of cigarette, and their eyes were full of murderous intent in their eyes, Wang Feng, what a damn guy!

Wen Xian also wished that Wang Feng would die, firstly, Wang Feng was a serious threat to the colonial authorities, and secondly, it was related to Aina's pen making, although Wen Xian would not go down to embezzle Wang Feng's shares, he needed to consider Alice's feelings, but Wang Feng's death was different, he could openly and openly share Wang Feng's shares with Angelina and Alice, and the most important point was that he was always worried that Alice would break through the boundary with Wang Feng!

Wen Xian took his pipe in his mouth, his eyes gradually narrowed into a line, and at this time, Rawell couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Wen Xian, do you think that the East King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will agree to our request?" ”

Wen Xian shook his head: "No, whether it is compensation or handing over Wang Feng to us, it will bring them devastating consequences, and at the same time make Wang Feng's prestige greatly increase, and even further seize the supreme authority of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the East King has been in power for many years, it is impossible not to understand, but there may be some hope for returning the captives."

In fact, our goal has been achieved, Wang Feng's military ability and political ability are obviously beyond his expectations, gentlemen, I don't know if you have noticed, I see suspicion and uneasiness in his eyes, China's rulers are the most intolerant of subordinates whose talents surpass their own, fortresses are often breached from the inside, let's wait to see a good show.

By the way, after returning to the concession, I will take the corpses of the fallen soldiers to Hong Kong, and by the way, I will do some private affairs, I will leave it to you here, don't have a conflict with Wang Feng for the time being, let's see how the East King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cleans him up, if the East King can't do anything about him, then there will be an expeditionary force coming next year, we have died so many people, the government can't ignore it. ”

The three of them nodded one after another, they were also very curious about what Wen Xian's private affairs were, they all wondered if Wen Xian had reached a deal with Wang Feng in some way, but Wen Xian didn't say it, it was obviously inconvenient for them to ask more.

After glancing at each other, Rawell stretched out his hand and motioned, "Gentlemen, it's time for dinner, please." ”

The four men returned to the cabin one after another.

The food on the ship is naturally simple, and the banquet of 10,000 people in Jiading County is extremely rich, the smoke is billowing in the city, the poultry and livestock are slaughtered, and everyone is happy to eat!

In the frenzied atmosphere, the female soldiers went deep into the crowd to mobilize, the men cut their braids, and the women unwrapped their footcloths were all refreshing and neat, and Wang Feng seized the opportunity to select 500 people on the spot to form the Jiading People's Self-Defense Army according to the principle that the only son did not join the army, and those who were not selected participated in military training regularly as reserves.

This made the new county magistrate Zhou Fucai extremely admired Wang Feng's methods, and among the several major events that Wang Feng confessed, in his opinion, the most difficult people's armament and cutting braids and unwrapping footcloths were solved so easily, and the price was just a meal.

As the night wore on, the feast dispersed, leaving behind a pile of bones and ashes, as well as countless braids and footwraps!

Wang Feng led Zhou Fucai to clean up the next day, and left 500 troops down, so he and Hong Xuanjiao led the army to leave overnight.
