Bruce looked at the buildings on both sides of the street, and when he reached the gate of the Governor's Palace, he saw a little bit of the imprint left by his own people.After Shi Dakai and the Taiping army entered this town, he quickly expanded the city, turning all the houses left by the British into Chinese style.The red walls on the street were painted white, and the original European-style buildings were also covered with tiles, completely turning into Hui-style buildings in the south of the Yangtze River."
Joseph, there are some things I want to talk to you about alone" Bruce's eyebrows furrowed, and he had already begun to wonder if the Chinese were taking the initiative to withdraw their troops."
Okay, please here" Joseph was excited, and he didn't know what Bruce was thinking, so he stretched out his hand and led him into the council room of the New Huaxia Prime Minister's Office.The tables and chairs in the room were neatly arranged, and all the official documents were either taken away or burned, and in short, not a single piece of paper remained."
Lord Governor, what's going on, why don't you be happy at all" After the two entered the room, Joseph frowned a little puzzled, and beckoned Bruce to sit down at the head of the conference table."
Joseph, don't you feel a little strange, these Chinese did not resist desperately at all, they completely took the initiative to retreat in the north, you look here, everything is neatly arranged, there is no appearance of defeat and escape" Bruce said the worry in his heart, and his heart was uneasy about this room.The whole conference room was cleaned up, but the only thing that was not taken away was the photo of Qiao Zhiqing hanging on the wall.In the photo, Qiao Zhiqing is wearing a camouflage military uniform, holding a generalissimo saber, and stepping on shiny black cowhide boots.A pair of heroic eyes look straight ahead, and a sense of invisible oppression arises at a glance.This photo is also hung on the castle tower, in the conference rooms of various provinces, cities, and counties, as well as in the prime minister's offices of various states.Bruce looked at the young man in the photo, and he was a little frightened, and couldn't help but dodge and look away."
Don't worry, Governor.This time the Chinese did not want to resist, they did not have the strength to resist.You see that after our army crossed the river, it was almost overwhelming.The Chinese gun formations had no way to resist, and they had to choose to retreat to the north. ”Joseph finally won the battle, and he hoped that Bruce would praise him.Now that Bruce was so disappointed that he was worried, he quickly explained it without paying attention to it at all."
But why do I always feel so unsteady in my heart" Bruce's eyes still couldn't help but focus on Qiao Zhiqing's photo, the more he looked at it, the more irritated he became, and with a wave of his hand, he took out the pistol in his waist, and fired a few shots at Qiao Zhiqing's photo.With a cracking sound, I remembered that the picture fell heavily to the ground, and the glass outside shattered.The guards outside the door thought that something was wrong, so they opened the door at once, and saw that everything was okay inside, and withdrew again at Joseph's signal."
Lord Governor, you just have too much pressure" Bruce took out a small iron wine jug from his pocket and handed it to Bruce, and then continued to sigh with relief, "Lord Governor forgot, when we attacked China with Generalissimo He Bo, weren't the Chinese all like this, as soon as our cannons sounded, they all turned their heads and pulled back, but later fought against the Huaxing Army, we were repeatedly defeated and lost confidence in ourselves."
In fact, the current situation is very normal, if the Governor is not at ease, we will rest in the city for the night, and tomorrow I will lead people to pursue the Chinese" "Well, just do as you say."
I'm sleepy, I've got a good night's sleep today, and no one should disturb me if I'm fine," Bruce took the flask and took a sip, and after suppressing the shock, nodded in agreement with Joseph's plan.He got up and walked out of the conference room, and asked the guards to take him to the governor's villa in the backyard.As soon as I entered the bedroom, I didn't take off my boots, and I fell asleep at the end.This two-story small western-style building has not changed much, and the bedroom is still English furniture, and Shi Dakai has not made many changes.Bruce looked at the environment here, and soon fell into a dream, and his heart finally calmed down, he hadn't slept in such a familiar room for a long time."
Damn, what a cowardly and useless fellow.Why did the queen choose you to be the governor, and she didn't even dare to enjoy the victory," Joseph sat alone in the council room, drinking a small wine, and a slight smile appeared on his face.In the mountainous area of more than 200 kilometers north of Tianjing City, a long red dragon is constantly marching towards the mountain.When the Taiping army fought against the Qing army, they developed a habit of looking for local mountainous areas wherever they went.So that at the last moment, there can be a way out.When Shi Dakai first arrived in Australia, he sent people to look around for mountainous areas, all of which were marked on the map where he was.The mountain range is not very large, the highest altitude is just over 1,000 meters, and the stretch is only 1,000 kilometers.However, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the top of the mountain is a flat grassland, which is suitable for grazing here.So the new Huaxia Kingdom used this place as a refuge, built a passage to the top of the mountain, and built a simple house on it for habitation.When the British army had just settled on the riverbank, the New Huaxia Army organized the people to migrate here.There was a dense sound of horses' hooves, and soon a fiery dragon hurried towards the migrating crowd.After the horse team stopped, a sturdy young man came down from above, and when he saw the person in charge of the crowd, he gave a standard military salute."
Report to the Wing King, the cavalry army is all assembled, waiting for your order" The young man is Shi Zhenji, the commander of this cavalry, he is Shi Dakai's brother, and he joined the Taiping Army with Shi Dakai.Because he is too young, Shi Dakai has never arranged an important position for him, so as not to give people the tongue of cronyism.However, Shi Zhenji, like his brother, is a rare warrior, and he has personally fought many small battles.After escaping to Australia, Shi Dakai's generals were scarce, so Shi Zhenji was promoted and reused, and this elite cavalry force was handed over to this young clansman."
Very good, act according to the plan we have made, and remember not to entangle with foreign devils, and if you can't fight, you can leave.Your main goal is not to kill foreign devils, but to destroy their logistics supply lines" Shi Dakai told this clan brother seriously, for fear that he would be young and vigorous and would not be able to distinguish between priorities and priorities.He had just withdrawn from the south with the last of his people, and there were two armies on the left and right that were constantly converging here, and everything was going according to plan."
Cousin, don't worry.I know your plan, and I will never fight hard with foreign devils" Shi Zhenji smiled innocently, saluted Shi Dakai, turned around and stepped on the war horse, and left with tens of thousands of cavalry like the wind.This set of military salutes was learned from Huaxing Army, and Shi Dakai felt that he had the momentum of a soldier, so he popularized it among his subordinates
