Schönnard? Asben crossed Erlang's legs and looked at the continuous coastline with a telescope, this is already the mouth of the Yangtze River, the goods and merchants on the Wusong wharf are constantly coming and going, the sea is full of merchant ships with white sails, a lively scene, this brown-haired Englishman made a surprised voice in his mouth, "Tut-tut, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it didn't take long, when our invincible British Empire fleet came to this city in the Far East, the people here were frightened by us, and we fired a few shots at the pier, I haven't seen a figure here for a few days, haha, so soon, so bustling again," Asben touched his chin with his hand and muttered to himself, "Do you want to fire a few more shots?" Idle is idle anyway. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" A group of soldiers on the side rubbed their hands, "Mr. Colonel, let's shoot a shot, these should be the Chinese who think that if they win those stupid Indian soldiers on land, they think they can defeat the warriors of our empire on which the sun never sets?" It's really ridiculous, the Too young, too simple Tucson is broken, I ask Lord Colonel, give me a chance, let me personally fire the shells, and use the artillery fire to teach these yellow-skinned monkeys a lesson! ”

Asben tilted his head slightly contrivedly and thought for a moment, and shook his head, "No, no, we will always be in the Far East in the future, are you afraid that there will be no chance to teach these Chinese, for a long time, corporal!" Honk the horn, I heard that there is a Chinese lord here in Shanghai, thinking of our fleet, let's go and meet him, see if there is any benefit, where is the French? In the back? My God," Asben had a disgusted expression on his face, but he kept it within the original range, without exaggerating the performance, which was in line with Asbourne's style as a British gentleman, "They are still eating raw crabs sent by the Chinese in Ningbo!?" It's a life-saver," Aspen patted his forehead, "These cannibals! Mu Yang'a sent some Ningbo specialties to the British and French fleets docked in Ningbo, including Ningbo's special food, choking crab and Cixi rice cakes, "Those sticky Chinese pastries are going to kill me, not to mention these fishy ironclad monsters, those French pigs who know how to eat want to eat, then give them all to eat, ready, let's go meet the Chinese adult, God, I hope it's OK not to be like the pig like the one in Ningbo." ”

"Li Tai is here? Please come in. Prince Gong put down the booklet in his hand, this time Prince Gong was discussing the matter of Jingcha with Cao Yuying and Zhu Xueqin in Jianyuan, Prince Gong said to Cao Yuying, "The night owl has entered the house, I'm afraid it's nothing good." ”

Cao Yuying said with a smile, "What the prince said is that this slippery Englishman may just want to use the newly bought warship for what weight, and see what tricks he plays." ”

Wearing a black tuxedo, a pale blonde curly hair with a high hat, a beard on his chin, and charming pale blue eyes, a man in his thirties, accompanied by his entourage, entered Prince Gong's study, and when he saw Prince Gong, Li Taitai took off his hat, bowed casually to Prince Gong, and blurted out fluently in Chinese with a slight southern accent, "Good day, Prince!" ”

Prince Gong arched his hand, then waved his right hand, turned sideways, and pleased, "Hello Lord Li, look at the seat." ”

Li Taitai didn't sit down immediately, just raised his head and looked at Prince Gong's luxurious study, "Your Excellency, your study is really exquisite, when you were ten years old, you followed your father to Guangzhou, by the way, he was the first consul of the British Empire in Guangzhou, at that time, I saw the homes of those merchants in the Thirteen Lines, far less than your house, the prince, I guess, the study of the emperor of the Qing Kingdom is not as good as yours here!" ”

Prince Gong's face suddenly changed color, and when he didn't know how to answer, Cao Yuying hurriedly relieved the siege, "Master Li is so proficient in Chinese, but he doesn't know what 'Yixiao Dafang House' is?" Li Taitai showed a puzzled look on his face, and Cao Yuying waved the folding fan in a chic manner, "Not to mention the Forbidden City where the emperor lives, it is in the Old Summer Palace, and there are nine hundred and ninety-nine palaces that are better than the prince's study, but Lord Li is just not lucky to see it, of course, the earl of Ergin has been in it for a long time, and it is estimated that he can see a little bit, right?" Hehe. ”

Cao Yuying was satirizing the embarrassment of the British envoy being captured that year, Li Taitai showed embarrassment on his face, and saved some face for Prince Gong a little, Prince Gong laughed, "Lord Li smiled, my study is just ordinary, please sit down." ”

Li Taitai sat down, and was not interested in the tea without added spices and milk sent by the maidservant, "In this General Department of Customs, I was originally only reporting to the Prime Minister's Yamen and His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have never been to the Prince's mansion, but I received a report from the Ministry of the Navy in China to send a note on the warship purchased by the Qing Dynasty, so I came in person." Li Tai snapped his fingers, and the entourage who followed Li Tai handed Prince Gong the paperwork, "I have translated it into Chinese, please ask His Royal Highness to agree to approve it."
