The usually arrogant British, at this time in the face of tens of thousands of people, the monstrous anger, can almost melt them, these people also feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, although they have guns in their hands, but they do not have the courage to fire, they dare not guarantee that after firing, the next moment will be countless people rushing over and tearing them to pieces.

But just enduring this, all kinds of miscellaneous things embarrassed them, and several British soldiers had been smashed to the point that their noses were swollen and embarrassed, and at this time, suddenly two crisp gunshots rang out from nowhere.

The commander of the British army was also taken aback, and he hurriedly looked at his men, wanting to know which reckless man fired the gun.

But when the gunshots were heard, the angry crowd was completely out of control, and they threw everything they could on the heads of the British. A rotten egg hit the commander in the head.

The slimy, fishy liquid that came from the top of the head was a smell that drove people crazy.

"Shoot!"

The British officer couldn't stand it any longer, and at the sound of an order, the British soldier's gunfire rang out, and in an instant more than a dozen civilians fell to the ground, blood staining the ground red.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Suddenly, I don't know from somewhere, countless gunshots rang out, and the British, who were still shooting in the last second, suddenly became a target and fell to the ground, some groaning in pain, and some had already died.

After dozens of British soldiers fell, the originally tight cordon finally appeared a loophole, and the people who woke up from the shock poured into the concession like a surging tide.

On the other side of the concession. Dozens of men in the prime of life, holding thick logs, slammed into the wall, the tall wall was knocked down, and the people poured into the concession.

The whole concession was in chaos, and the surging flow of people rushed in, and a group of young people climbed directly to the top of the building, ripped off all the rice flags that symbolized British rule, and then threw them on the ground, allowing thousands of people to trample on them.

The atmosphere of the scene has reached its peak. They stormed the police stations, post offices, banks, companies, churches of the British. Smash everything that belongs to the British. Broken idols, like garbage. Dropped on the ground.

The British in the concession did not expect that they would end up today. After hearing the gunshots, these people knew that something was wrong, so many British people had already run into the French concession in a frenzy. But there were still some Britons who did not have time to flee and were surrounded by angry people.

A lot of people scuffled with them, trying to kill these hateful guys, but at this time. There will always be some people who will show up and take all the British with them.

Of course, these people are made up by the military and police, and Zhang Tinglan wants to use the people to storm the concession, and of course he will not disregard the lives of the people. So a large number of men, disguised and mixed in with the crowd, all of them secretly carrying guns, and as soon as the British dared to open fire, they would shoot immediately.

This time, however, the British appeared to be much more restrained and did not immediately open fire. But don't forget that the British also taught the army a trick, and if you don't fire, it doesn't mean that others won't fire.

Therefore, someone in the Feng army fired two shots, and treated them in the same way as others, disrupting the whole scene, and there was the next scene. After taking the British concession, they took all the British prisoners away, not to pity the British, but in the negotiations between the two countries, these hostages played an extremely important role in forcing the other side to make important concessions.

After all, no government can afford to ignore the notoriety of the people's lives and deaths, which is also what Zhang Tinglan specially explained. Just after the common people cheered and won the Tianjin Concession, a similar situation occurred in Hankou, Jiujiang, and even Guangzhou and Xiamen in the south, and countless people poured into the concession, drove the British military and police away, removed the British rice flag, and replaced it with the Chinese five-color flag.

In the past five days, the concessions that the British had painstakingly managed in China for decades were almost completely lost, except for the public concessions, only the concessions of Shanghai and Zhenjiang remained, which were still under the control of the direct rebels, and the people's liliang was not strong enough, but these concessions were also crumbling.

Many shrewd businessmen have all withdrawn their capital from the concession and leave quickly, otherwise the common people will rush in and suffer some losses, and they will have nowhere to cry. The territory of the foreigners is no longer safe, and the good life of the emperor has come to an end, and many rich businessmen have all entered Beijing, and even run to the three eastern provinces, which is the lair of the Feng army, there will be no problem.

Seeing the loss of these concessions, the British have been mad, and the British Empire has been bullied by the Chinese people, and it has simply become an international laughing stock. And the most painful thing for the British is the loss of interests in China, the British are far from healing the damage of the First World War at this time, if they lose the opportunity to extract benefits from China, how can the British Empire recover to its heyday!

It is precisely on the basis of this consideration that the British Parliament has already heard the voice of declaring war on China, fighting another Opium War, completely defeating China, and safeguarding British interests in China.

For a while, the sound of war was loud, and at this time, the British prime minister was Andrew, Bernal, and Law, who were of Canadian descent. As a politician in the Conservative Party, Law is also a hardliner on China, but he has a small problem, that is, his physical condition is too bad to take on the heavy task of foreign war.

Moreover, the British forces in the Far East were very limited, and if they wanted to go to war, they would have to move troops from the mainland, but in this case, it would take at least a few months, and in that time, it would be feared that British interests in China would have been lost.

Moreover, the labor expedition spanned almost half the world, and the odds of victory were too small, and now was not the era of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a random gathering of one or two thousand people could bring a country to its knees.

You must know that the strength of the Feng army alone exceeds more than 200,000, and these soldiers have fought with Japan and Russia with real swords and guns, and Britain must send at least 100,000 people if they want to defeat this Liliang.

With so many men and horses dispatched, what to do with supplies, weapons and ammunition, and logistics support, a lot of troubles were placed in front of the British. Of course, there was also a proposal to send troops from the colonies, that is, from India and Southeast Asia, but this proposal was quickly rejected.

India and Southeast Asia were extremely unstable, and the army had to stay behind to strengthen its control, and once it was transferred, it might not have done anything to China, and Britain would lose these areas first. And to be honest, there are also people in the British government who understand that the armies of these colonies are a bunch of young master soldiers, which is really unusable.

Calculations, calculations, calculations, Britain really did not have the courage to completely tear its face with China and declare war, so the British could only continue to win over other powers, especially the United States, to jointly come out to put pressure on China.

Don't look at the Americans, it is impossible to go on an expedition, but as the largest trading country, the Americans still have a lot of chips in their hands, for example, China also has to import a large amount of oil, agricultural vehicles, aircraft engines, etc. to the United States, if the Americans are willing to make a move, at least China's arms industry will be dealt a fatal blow, so that there is hope to make China's young warlord submit.

The British were still somewhat sure of convincing the United States, and the first and both sides were Anglo-Saxons, with broken bones and tendons. Second, both sides have a large number of interests in China, and the Americans cannot but reach out and pull a hand. Therefore, the British began to concentrate on Liliang and communicate with the American side.

But the British saw this, and Zhang Tinglan also saw it a long time ago, it was impossible for Britain to start a war with the Feng army, and the only means it could use was economic sanctions. However, if the United States, the largest trading country, can be stopped, any sanctions imposed by the British will become a dead letter.

Therefore, when the people attacked the concession, Zhang Tinglan specifically requested that only the British concession be attacked, and nothing else should be touched, and then Zhang Tinglan also issued a statement, claiming that this was a spontaneous act of the people, and the government had no intention of abolishing the concession immediately.

Such a statement left the possibility of continuing negotiations, and the Americans were also very shrewd, and Minister Shulman immediately secretly called on Zhang Tinglan, wanting to see how much benefit China could make and which side the Americans should put their chips on.

"Mr. Minister, there has been a regrettable conflict between China and Britain, but I can assure you that this will not be a blind xenophobic act, on the contrary, I, including the important members of the government, believe that we should open up to the outside world, and be willing to treat all countries in China on an equal footing, and carry out friendly economic cooperation."

Zhang Tinglan said this, picked up a document casually, and said with a smile: "This is a development we want to implement in the near future, and the government has decided to spend 80 million yuan to build a railway artery that is basically parallel to the Yangtze River in five years." It is mainly divided into Sichuan-Han Railway from Sichuan to Wuhan, Ninghan Railway from Wuhan to Nanjing, Zuihou and Shanghai-Nanjing Railway connecting the city. In this way, the materials in the western part of China can move the eastern part of the country at the fastest speed. ”

Before Zhang Tinglan could finish speaking, Schulman's breathing became heavy, this is definitely a railway full of temptation, along the Yangtze River, is the most economically developed region in China. Moreover, this railway runs from east to west, breaking the geographical space, and can directly transport goods and goods to the vast west, and the profits are so great that it is simply incalculable.

And Schulman also saw another meaning in this, whoever mastered the railway could replace Britain and become the controller of the Yangtze River basin. It doesn't matter how much race affection there is between Britain and the United States, but when it comes to real profits, no one can keep calm.

Looking at Schulman, whose eyes were red, Zhang Tinglan smiled again: "In fact, this is just one of many investment projects, the southeast wants to develop, opportunities are everywhere, the United States has a developed industry, China has a huge market, if you do business sincerely, it will be ten times more than a hundred times more benefits than simply deprivation."
