"What?" Wu Jianzhang guessed the beginning, but he didn't guess the result, and after being stunned, he hurriedly shouted: "Commander Wang, the villain didn't hide a word, why did you want to kill the villain?" Don't you want the villain's property? The villain's property is all in the concession, which is the territory of foreigners, and part of it is stocks, without villains, you can't get a penny! ”

Wang Feng sneered: "Wu Jianzhang, you betray the country to seek glory, you are willing to be a traitor, even if you give 100 million taels of gold, you can't redeem your life, hehe~~ What about the concession?" I want to see who dares to stop you, take 200 people to the concession, kill Wu Jianzhang and his family, and bring back all the goods and women. ”

"Yes!" A battalion commander who was ordered by Wang Feng took two hundred people and rode away on fast horses, and several other soldiers dragged Wu Jianzhang to the side.

"Commander Wang, spare your life, the villain is really taking refuge!" Wu Jianzhang pleaded in despair, but the soldiers didn't pay attention to him at all, and pushed him to his knees, and another person held a gun to the back of the head, banging it, and the muzzle of the gun flashed.

Wu Jianzhang fell down in response, the corpse was lying on the ground like a dead dog, there was a big hole in the back of his head, blood and brains flowed out, one of his one eyes was still round, obviously he didn't blink his eyes, maybe he didn't understand until he died, Wu Wenrong was not a good person, why could Wang Feng leave Wu Wenrong but he couldn't tolerate him.

Sheng Xuanhuai withdrew his gaze from Wu Jianzhang's corpse and hesitated: "Wang Feng, Wu Jianzhang signed a traitorous treaty and betrayed the interests of the nation, it is indeed damned, if you kill it, you will be killed, but I am afraid it is not appropriate to go to the concession to raid his house, right?" After all, the concession is still the territory of foreigners. ”

Wang Feng didn't take it seriously: "It's the foreigner's territory, and it's also our Chinese land, this time the victory is appropriate, I am intending to solve the concession problem, I am waiting for the foreigner to come to the door and talk about the ownership of the concession again." ”

"Oh!" Sheng Xuanhuai nodded.

Wang Feng looked at the Indians again. His eyes suddenly became bright, these people were all high castes, and each of them was equivalent to a gold mine!

Zhang Tianxi speaks good English. The identity of each person has already been asked, at this time. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the four people who were the leader: "Commander-in-chief, these four are all the kings of India, and they are Assaf of Hyderabad. Jah V, Kashmi Bhai of Jangsi, nicknamed Queen Jangsi, King Gampatlao of the Princely States of Baroda, Wadia IV of the Wadia Dynasty. ”

In an instant, Wang Feng's gaze was not just shining, but as if an electric current composed of countless tiny gold nuggets shot out, seeing Wang Feng's eyes, the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance Army all looked at the four earth kings with sympathy. Obviously, Wang Feng would not let them go if he didn't knock out their bone marrow.

The four earth kings also realized that something was wrong, and their faces showed some uneasiness.

Wang Feng first beckoned to Jah V, a fat and black middle-aged man: "Mr. Assaf, I need gold, a lot of gold, tell me, how much gold can you take out to redeem yourself?" ”

"This" Indians are proud to speak English, and the upper castes speak English, and Jah V said distressed in English: "Fifty." No, five hundred ounces, honorable squadron commander. I am willing to give 500 ounces of gold. ”

There are two kinds of ounces, one is the constant balance system, and the other is the gold balance system, the gold balance system is used for the calculation of precious metals such as gold and silver, each ounce is about thirty-one grams, five hundred ounces, which is equivalent to about fifteen kilograms of gold, and is also equivalent to a little more than two thousand one hundred pounds, you know. The pound is on the gold standard and can be exchanged for gold at any time with the Bank of England. It's hard currency, and it's quite valuable. In the opinion of Jach V, there are already quite a few.

Wang Feng sank his face and chuckled: "Mr. Assaf, are you sure you're not joking?" India is rich in gold, and Hyderabad is the largest princely state in the Indian subcontinent, with its own currency, mint, railways and post office, it is vast, covering most of the Deccan Plateau, larger than England and Scotland combined, with nearly 20 million inhabitants, and you are the supreme ruler of 20 million subjects, which is worth 500 ounces of gold? You are disgraced by your people and country, and I hope you will speak to me with sincerity. ”

Jah V was dumbfounded, and the British and the rest of the Indians also looked at Wang Feng in surprise, they didn't understand why Wang Feng knew everything about Hyderabad, Wang Feng was unmoved, just stared at Jah V with pure eyes.

It took a long time to confirm that Wang Feng did think that five hundred ounces of gold was too little, as if he had made a great determination, Jia He V stretched out five fat fingers, and said in a trembling voice: "Five thousand ounces, I will redeem myself with five thousand ounces!" ”

At the same time as he said this, Jahe V's fat heart and liver were twitching, this is more than 20,000 pounds, it is really cut to the flesh, and his heart is also regretful that even his intestines are green, I knew this is the case, why bother to drip this troubled water?

Unexpectedly, Wang Feng shouted: "Mr. Assaf, I didn't see your sincerity, you disappointed me too much, your stinginess has ruined the beautiful image of the Indian people in my mind, and the Indian people will be ashamed because of you, come and give Mr. Assaf a tiger chair!" ”

"Yes!" More than a dozen members of the special combat team rushed forward with excitement on their faces, and before Jahe V could react to what was going on, he was tied up sturdy, and then carried to a special chair, and his hands and feet and waist were tied to the chair.

At this point, how could Assaf not understand that this was about to torture himself? Immediately he shouted: "I am the king of Hyderabad, I am a nobleman, you cannot do this to me, I am entitled to preferential treatment, don't you claim to give preferential treatment to the captives?" ”

Including Wang Feng, no one paid attention to him, the so-called preferential treatment of prisoners, in fact, everyone in the Democratic Alliance Army knew that one was to give preferential treatment to the Qing Army's Green Battalion, as well as possible prisoners of the Taiping Army and the Twist Army in the future, that is, the Han Chinese, and the other was to give preferential treatment to foreign prisoners of Western powers such as Britain, France, and the United States, and the Indians were obviously not among the preferential treatment.

It's not that Wang Feng has a particularly favorable impression of Westerners or discriminates against Indians, but that the global order is dominated by Westerners, and the West has an overwhelming advantage in military science and technology, which will not change because of one or two victories.

Under such circumstances, Wang Feng can only choose to integrate into this order, like the previous leaders of the Red Dynasty, and in the future, he will be wrapped in the strong momentum of the simultaneous rise of economy and force, seeking to expand the international discourse and influence, change the international order and rules, and gradually create a new situation that is conducive to his dominance of the international system, rather than starting a new stove now and rushing to break this order.

Since it is decided to integrate, it is necessary to abide by the rules in a certain process, and preferential treatment of Western prisoners is a way of integration with less cost and greater benefits, what is the use of killing a few Western prisoners? It is nothing more than a function to vent anger, but the consequence is to attract the hostility and rejection of the entire Western world, which is extremely unfavorable for China to go global.

Wang Feng's attitude toward the West has always been to resolutely crack down on right-wing diehards with one hand and to influence left-wing progressives and friendly people with an internationalist spirit with the other hand.

The soldiers put bricks under the knees of Jahe V in turn, Fuxing was able to pad three faces without changing color, but Jahe V was obviously not as good as Fuxing pads, forty-year-old middle-aged man, talking about the strength of the muscles and bones Fuxing threw him eight streets, three bricks down, immediately grinned in pain, and his face was full of fear.

The British prisoners of war were very interested in the methods adopted by the Democratic Alliance, and they all came forward to watch, and they were all curious about how much gold Wang Feng could extort from the miser Assaf, and sometimes it was a pleasure to watch the excitement.

The Indians were talking in a whispered voice, and the atmosphere was extremely uneasy, and they both knew that what happened to Jah V might be their turn next.

Wang Feng stopped the soldier's action of pressing the bricks, and asked in a contagious and inflammatory tone similar to that of a pyramid scheme lecturer: "Mr. Assaf, please show your sincerity, let us all see your sincerity!" ”

"Six thousand ounces!" Jach V contorted his face and shouted.

Wang Feng shook his head resolutely: "Mr. Assaf, your sincerity is far from being worthy of your identity, I can only show my sincerity first!" After speaking, he turned his head and ordered in Chinese: "Replace the bricks with tiles, so that Mr. Assaf can carefully appreciate our sincerity!" ”

"Yes!" A soldier found a tile and put it under the knee of Jah IV, the thickness of the tile was about one-third of the brick, Wang Feng was worried that Jah IV would not be able to eat the brick, so he would break his leg at once, after all, the purpose of the punishment was only to ask for money, not to really want to injure and maim people.

The moment the tile touched the knee socket, Jach V shook as if electrocuted, and shouted again: "Seven thousand ounces!" ”

The soldier's movements stopped, and he turned his gaze to Wang Feng, but Wang Feng didn't say anything, so he slowly stuffed the tiles inward.

"Eight thousand ounces!"

"Nine thousand ounces!"

Every little bit of stuffing was removed, Jach V added the offer to a thousand, and by the time the whole tile was put in, the offer had already reached eighteen thousand!

Jah V howled one after another, sweat dripping from his body, and it was clear that he was suffering inhuman pain.

The joyous chatter of the British was gone, and the Indians were silent, for few could stand in stride as they watched their former companions being tortured right under their noses.

Panting for breath, Jah V cried and begged: "Please, let me go, I really only have so much, please trust me!" ”

Wang Feng waved his hand: "Mr. Assaf, I once obtained the sincerity of one million taels of silver from a Qing official by the same means, about close to seventy thousand ounces of gold, and you, as the ruler of twenty million Indian people, this amount is at least ten times more reasonable, please don't blaspheme the word sincerity, come again!"
