Chapter 91: Sweeping Tiannan (Part II)


s: Please collect and recommend Guangzhou Port.

The docks of Guangzhou Port are busy all year round, with an uninterrupted flow of people and goods.

However, today seems to be particularly busy.

Among the people preparing to leave the port, there are many more men and women who look like they belong to wealthy families.

They look panicked, carrying large and small bags, and crane their necks to watch every ship entering the port.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler ran over and said to one of the fat old men: "Master, there are no more passenger ships.

There is only a cargo ship willing to take people on board."

The fat old man frowned and said, "A cargo ship is fine.

Anyway, it's just to Hong Kong.

It won't take long.

How much does he want?"

The steward replied: "The ship owner said it costs 10 yuan per person."

"Hey, Hong Kong is only 10 yuan away.

Why doesn't he go and grab it?"

The fat old man suddenly jumped up.

The middle-aged man next to him couldn't help but said: "Dad, what time has it been and you are still worrying about how much money you have.

If the bandits come, no matter how much money you have, it will be theirs."

The fat old man's face turned pale, and he said to the housekeeper with a face full of pain: "Okay, okay, for this price, let's get on the boat quickly."

He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Grandma, those damn bandits know how to bully us like this.

Honest people, they are hating the rich."

A gentleman next to him echoed: "That's right, those damn mud-legged people, they obviously rented the land but can't afford to pay the rent, and now they are even more lawless with the support of bandits."

"Yes, the bandits compete with the people for profit, and are specifically against kind-hearted gentry like us.

They are the public enemies of the world."

This group of rich and wealthy people all agreed, and together they denounced the Socialist Party of Science and Technology.

This group of people are all the former ruling class who are preparing to flee, mainly gentry, compradors, and the Eight Banners nobles in Guangzhou.

In fact, the methods used by the Socialist Party of Science and Technology to liquidate the old ruling class are not too harsh.

As long as the gentry and landlords with a good reputation will be forced to redeem their land, divide their families according to small families and move out of their original villages, there will be no other problems.

Deliberately targeted.

Those compradors and capitalists who have no land and live in the countryside, as long as they are not the kind who have done too many bad things and have a bad reputation, will not be affected, and they will not even have to move.

Moreover, the Socialist Party government also encouraged and supported their transformation into national industry and commerce.

Many former capitalists, compradors, and gentry are now living better than before, because all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been cancelled, logistics has been smoothed, and various A variety of new technologies and equipment.

Of course, the premise is that they have not done anything harmful to the world and can actively cooperate with and support the work of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology.

Those who are preparing to flee are the evil gentry, compradors, and capitalists who usually do too many bad things.

They hate and fear the political liquidation of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology.

They felt that they could not escape punishment, so as soon as they learned about the attack by the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, they immediately packed up their belongings and prepared to flee Guangzhou.

Although they were extremely hostile to the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, they had no confidence in the force of the Qing Dynasty.

They did not think that Xiliang could block the attack of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology.

Here they are planning to go to Hong Kong first before making any plans.

Whether they go north to the Qing-ruled area or stay in Hong Kong as an apartment, they absolutely cannot stay in Guangzhou anyway.

However, they did not notice that in a foreign-style building not far from them, three young people were observing them with the eyes of fat sheep.

This foreign-style building is a hotel run by the British.

Three young people were in a room on the third floor, where they could see the entire dock.

These three people are all about 20 years old, and the middle one is obviously the leader.

This man is 25 years old, tall and burly, obviously Chinese, but he is wearing a British naval lieutenant uniform without military rank or insignia. .

The other two people had faces of mixed Eastern and Western descent.

The younger one was less than twenty, and the older one was about twenty-seven or eighty-year-old.

The older mixed-race man said in a strange Mandarin accent: "Brother Kaicheng, I have found out everything.

These guys are really fat sheep.

They are all from rich and powerful families."

Brother Kaicheng put down the telescope and said: "Mark, we are looking for a certificate of surname this time.

It will be bad if we get a good person.

Have their identities been confirmed?

Don't make a mistake.

Otherwise, Our faces don’t look good” Mark said: "Brother Kaicheng, don't worry.

There is absolutely no mistake.

These grandsons are either greedy for wealth or corrupt officials.

The years I was a gunman in the United States were not in vain, no matter who they were. , with just a few glances you can figure out where he's coming from."

"Okay, that's great.

If it works this time, we can also go to Mr.

Wen with our heads held high.

We, those of us who live on knife-edge jobs, are different from those educated people.

Even if we worship mountains and piers, there is no reason to go empty-handed.

Not to mention taking refuge" Although Brother Kaicheng is full of the language of Jianghu figures.

But he stood upright, and his military posture and appearance were meticulous even when he was talking about these disharmonious words.

Every move he made was full of military style, completely worthy of the officer's uniform.

His name is Li Ang, also known as Kaicheng.

He is indeed a genuine graduate of the Royal Naval Academy in Greenwich.

During his internship in the British Navy, he obtained the rank of lieutenant, but he does not belong to any army yet.

As for his quackish tone, there's nothing that can be done about it.

You can't expect a descendant of a pirate family, ahem, a maritime merchant family, to be so elegant.

"Brother Kaicheng, you are absolutely right.

Otherwise, since we have no friendship with Mr.

Wen before, we would just submit to him and not be taken seriously."

Li Ang nodded and said nothing.

In his heart, he didn't agree with Mark's words.

Given his background, he still has a relationship with Mr.

Wen.

Now he has two letters of recommendation in his luggage, both of which are relatively important people.

One is Mr.

Wen.

Another long-term ally there is the cadres of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology.

However, how can he show his abilities by relying on letters of recommendation?

The navy's methods are not yet easy to use, but the family inherited abilities can still be used.

"Xiao Feng, go to the dock quickly and tell Boss Li to proceed as planned," he said to the little mixed-race man next to him.

"Okay, I'll go right away" Xiao Feng agreed and was ready to set off.

This mixed-race boy named Xiao Feng is very beautiful.

He has an extremely beautiful and delicate face that combines Eastern and Western characteristics.

If it weren't for his relatively tall figure and short short hair, most people would probably think of him as a girl. .

If she grows her hair long and puts on women's clothes, she will definitely be able to kill many beauties instantly, and she will be considered the best transvestite.

At this time, the people on the dock suddenly became panicked.

The crowd yelled and yelled at the northern sky.

Some people ran around in panic, and some immediately knelt down and worshiped on the spot.

"What's going on outside?"

Li Ang was surprised.

"What they are looking at seems to be in the sky."

Mark was also very surprised.

The window of their room faced south, and they couldn't see the north.

They couldn't understand what was in the sky for a while.

In the midst of surprise, Xiao Feng, who had just gone out, ran back and said out of breath: "Brother Kaicheng, Mark, hurry up, President Wen's army is coming from the sky, it's coming from the sky."

"What?"

The two were shocked and rushed out of the room.

The two ran to the hotel yard, where many people had gathered.

Many of these people were European and American businessmen.

Although they were not as dramatic as kneeling down, they still exclaimed again and again.

"Oh my God, an airship that big must be at least 300 feet long."

"How could the Chinese have such technology?

It's incredible.

There is no such big airship in Europe."

"Did you see that those airships were firing their cannons?

God, the Chinese put all the cannons on the airships."

When Li Ang and Mark looked at the northern sky, their expressions immediately became similar to those of the foreigners around them.

Their mouths were wide open and their eyes almost popped out.

At this time, in the northern sky, eight huge airships formed a standard battle line.

The faint sound of shelling, the rising firelight and the diffuse smoke all indicated that they were conducting shelling.

The shark mouth painting on the head of the airship and the huge "red five-pointed star and golden sickle and hammer" logo on the side indicate their identity.

"Is this an air cruiser?"

Li Ang quickly raised the telescope and observed excitedly.

"Judging from this distance, they must be shelling the Liuxihe defense line of the Qing army.

I can't believe that Mr.

Wen and the others are so fast."

Mark also picked up the telescope: "It's really spectacular."

The people who were most shocked were definitely not those at the Guangzhou dock.

Compared with the "observation group" near the front line, they were far less shocked.

"The Chinese actually have an air fleet."

The British Consul General in Guangzhou said in a dry voice, and his face turned blue and white.

"The guns on them are not big, just three-inch guns."

The commander of the Hong Kong garrison looked at it and said, "They won't pose much of a threat to the imperial warships."

"If we switch to a six-inch gun or even an eight-inch gun for such a big airship, I think it can be equipped with an eight-inch gun.

I think it's not that they don't want to install it, but they can't build it.

According to our situation, the current artillery of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology is Outsourced, the guns that can be mounted on airships must be specially made, and they don’t have the ability.”

The commander of the Hong Kong garrison also looked solemn: "If it is an eight-inch gun, the threat will be great.

Even for battleships, it is also a threat."

The British can think of it, and representatives of other countries can naturally think of it.

There will be no fools in this business.

Their expressions were also very heavy.

The shock and visual impact brought by the huge airship was not comparable to those of smaller aircraft.

If the plane bombing just now only made them feel that they should pay attention to the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, then now it makes them feel that the Socialist Party of Science and Technology is already a force that can talk to them on an equal footing, at least partially.

"I think we should ask Mr.

Wen if he can transfer airship technology to us.

Flying warships, I think this is something that can change the way war is fought," said the U.S.

Consul General in Guangzhou.

The Consul General in Shanghai said: "Yes, we in the United States should also have an air fleet.

Given Mr.

Wen's friendship with us, I don't think he will refuse.

Of course, I must admit that he is an excellent businessman.

We, the United States, may have to pay some cost" "It doesn't matter.

As long as he is willing to talk, it won't be a problem.

It's worth exchanging a battleship for something like this.

I think we should report it to the minister and the country immediately."

The military attaché in China looked happy.

"We should contact Mr.

Wen immediately and ask him not to transfer technology to other countries," the Guangzhou Consul General said hurriedly.

"Yes, it must be as soon as possible."

Everyone agreed
