After talking so much, Guangxu felt that the time for today was almost done, so he said goodbye to Long Hao and put on his crappy and heavy dresses to return to the palace.

Today's gains are really great, enough to make Guangxu so excited that he can't sleep.

On the third day, Guangxu came again. It was obvious that he received guidance and guidance from Weng Dishi and others this time to discuss more specific cooperation details with Long Hao.

The overall bottom line of Emperor Guangxu is: I give you the interests of the south, you just fight with those foreigners and merchants. In the north, you must send the American and foreign countries and honestly hand over the control of the American and foreign countries.

Guangxu led the way to compete with Empress Dowager Cixi.

Long Hao doesn't care about this bottom line anyway, since the Sino-Japanese War is coming soon, and then the crazy little Japanese will let you drink a pot...

The tone is not conflicting, so the second conversation between the two sides is still relaxed and pleasant. It is still the second floor of the small attic, and it is still enjoying the snow and plum blossoms. The only difference is that the food at the entrance is replaced by a few vegetarian spots, which is considered to be a care for Guangxu.

stomach.

Emperor Guangxu complained to Long Hao that he ate too many elbows the day before yesterday. After returning to the palace, he pulled several times. His chrysanthemums loosened and his legs became weak.

At this time, the cooperation agreement between the two parties had been roughly discussed and the atmosphere was harmonious. Long Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you know anything? The title I received from the UK is because I am a pharmacist

Ah! It’s diarrhea, a small matter, I’ll give you a tube of medicine and drink it and wrap it up."

After saying that, Long Hao took out a test tube, which contained green potion.

Guangxu did not doubt it, so he took it and raised his head to drink it. The medicine entered his stomach. A warm breath flowed all over his body, causing Emperor Guangxu to "ah" and bounced up in surprise.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty Hao is still a miracle doctor! I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anymore, and I have strength in my body!"

"Haha, it's not a miracle doctor. I've said that I'm just a pharmacist."

"Of course it's a miracle doctor, those useless imperial doctors. Those who eat hard meals are far worse than you... It was just a rumor before, and I realized it myself today, and I realized that the rumors are far worse than meeting!"

"I'm too proud. I still have a tube of potion here. If you drink it, you should do this..." Long Hao smiled mysteriously. However, he took out a dragon and tiger potion and handed it to Guangxu.

However, Guangxu hesitated for a moment and did not answer.

"Well, now we should put state affairs first. I'm going to let it go."

"Okay, keep it, I'm leaving tomorrow, maybe I won't come until next year. Don't worry, someone will follow up on the follow-up matters..."

Long Hao felt strange, but without thinking too much, Xiaoxiao, then stuffed the Dragon and Tiger potion, patted his butt, and left freely.

Seeing that the little emperor was done, it would be meaningless to stay in Beijing.

Guangxu couldn't stop Long Hao from leaving, but this did not hinder his good mood after returning to the palace.

That night, he ate three times his usual appetite, which made Concubine Zhen. Concubine Jin hurriedly came to ask. Emperor Guangxu waved his hand and said that nothing was serious, so he asked the most favored sisters to retreat.

When Zhenfei's disappointed eyes disappeared behind the curtain, Guangxu turned his head and brought the utensils. He suddenly vomited out the food he had eaten, making a mess.

"Two ugly monsters, still want to serve in bed? MD, I'm so disgusting!"

It turns out that Emperor Guangxu's aesthetic view is actually quite normal, and he has been impatient with the sisters Zhen and Jin.

As for why he favored these two people in history, and especially Concubine Zhen is the most important?

That was because he could not see hope at that time, so he had to pick up the little girl who dared to face Cixi, endured the disgust, and was inseparable from her sisters, just to get angry with Cixi and feel stuffy.

But now it is different. With hope, Guangxu will naturally not endure humiliation and aggrieved himself. He is already fantasizing that after taking power, he will learn from the example of Qianlong's ancestors, ride a horse and take a boat, go to the Jiangnan water town to taste the tenderness and the eyes are like picturesque

The soft woman.

Thinking of this, Guangxu felt a little excited. He took out the dragon and tiger potion, looked at it, and then carefully hid it...

Life passed quickly, and the entire Chinese land fell into deep winter. Everything was drowsy and was about to hibernate. But in late November, an incident that made this winter unusual happened on the Yangtze River.

!

It is unusual enough to sweep these dull and dark auras into emptied.

On November 20, a British warship was sunk by the Nanyang Navy in a section of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River near Nanjing City. There were more than 300 British sailors on the ship, none of which survived!!

This news, or bad news, shocked the UK and the world!

On November 24, the British fleet in China gathered warships and rushed towards the Nanyang Navy's station in Nanjing. There was no prelude to the negotiations, but the momentum was to eliminate all the Nanyang Navy.

!

The British are determined to use artillery fire to repay their blood debts!

The Nanyang Navy was forced to fight. Governor Liu Kun, while dealing with the envoys from various countries who were constantly coming from Shanghai, ordered the Nanyang Navy to be allowed to be captured. The entire army gathered its troops to break through the British gunboat blockade.

On November 29, a Sino-British naval battle broke out. Both sides invested more than 100 warships of all sizes and sizes. The melee started at 8:1 in the morning and lasted until the sun set in the west at night.

The sky is dark and the earth is better than the rising tide... It is known in history that the Third Sino-British War is also called the "Hundred Ships War".

At this day, the result of a naval battle that even God cried was not as one-sided as I imagined.

When night fell and the rain poured down all day long on the river surface, when the sky was still like a big water bag breaking through, the Nanyang Navy had eight warships breaking out and heading towards the Yangtze River

Escape from Haikou.

Afterwards, 68 warships from the Nanyang Navy participated in the war, sank thirty-six, severely injured 24, and escaped eight.

The British fleet, a total of 34 warships participated in the battle, sank eight, and seriously injured ten. The remaining sixteen warships were fourteen, and the eight were chased by fourteen, and the other two were upstream of the river and besieged Nanjing.

The city. Use the rumbling cannon sound to shock this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

That night, the sound of wind, thunder and cannons continued... In short, the entire Nanjing city was trembling.

The failure of the two consecutive Opium Wars brought to the Chinese people the belief that the British were invincible!

After getting into evil with the British invincible navy and going to war, the governor of Liangjiang had entered the water of Taihu Lake in his head!

...

Zhang Ge is a minor official in Nanjing Prefecture. His ancestors were bannermen, but his mother was Han. So he couldn't get the flag pay, but in Nanjing, his life was good, which was comparable.

It is undoubtedly a very happy thing to be inferior to the lower ones.

Zhang Ge had no ambitions and wanted to keep this little happiness. However, a few days ago, to be precise, from November 21st, this little happiness was destroyed.

Zhang Ge still remembers that morning, that sunny morning, but when he received a newspaper that was still warm, he felt that the whole sky had collapsed.

Zhang Ge was literate, so he glanced at the newspaper and knew the news that the British warship had sunk yesterday, and the newspapers and fried dough sticks fell all over the floor.

Afterwards, the entire Nanjing city began to be martial law. People in the government office came out to patrol the streets, and people from the governor's office came in and out... A huge city sounded the alarm bell many times.

Looking around, the whole crowd was panicked. Zhang Ge went to the yamen to report, and was driven out. His superior asked him to appease the people, especially those civilians who were illiterate but liked to hearsay.

They should keep it in check and don't let panic spread in Nanjing.

This is a trivial and troublesome task, and Zhang Ge hates it deeply. After working hard for a few days, when he is free, he will loudly curse the alchemy king who runs the free newspaper!

I heard that the free newspaper was founded by him who was rich and powerful. Not only that, the newspaper also hired people to sit in the teahouse and read newspapers every day, such as overseas anecdotes, business opportunities for making money, European wars, aristocratic love and revenge... I heard those

The mud legs were fascinated, excited, and dizzy, and didn't even know what their surname was.

At the beginning, Zhang Ge agreed quite well. After all, there was more chatting after dinner and a free way to entertain. Sometimes he would go to drink a few drinks... But now, Zhang Ge wanted to take someone there

Smashed the newspaper's sign!

Of course, Zhang Ge just thought about it and did it, he wouldn't dare!

Because the newspaper called Alchemy Global Express, since November 22, there were many shaved guards guarding the door. The spears in their hands were pitch black and delicate, flowing and enchanting...

Zhang Ge, who had touched the gun, only glanced at it and knew that it was definitely the latest foreign gun, with a terrifying power. Compared with the yamen, the city defense army's messy miscellaneous weapons were more than a dozen levels higher than the messy weapons of the city defense army!

In addition, before the 29th, blond and blue-eyed foreigners drove in outside Nanjing. Zhang Ge saw once from afar. Several foreigners in dress and tidy got off the carriage, all of whom were looking for revenge fiercely.

At the same time, Zhang Ge also felt the excitement and excitement they brought when they walked.

It was a kind of excitement and pride of raising a knife and fork to prepare a delicious meal. Every time Zhang Ge came back to buy pork, the steps under his feet felt the same.

Zhang Ge didn't know the game of the senior management, nor did he need to know it. He just knew that on the 29th, God seemed to be suddenly angry. The rain opened and the gate did not stop underground. The water flowed into disaster, causing many streets in Nanjing.

It was flooded, and the low-lying houses were flooded with water. Zhang Ge was better, but he could only hide at home. He took his wife, a concubine and two sons, squatted in the attic on the second floor, looking worriedly at his arms outside the window.

The thick white water column is like a capital rush...

"Dad, I'm going out to play with Xiao Shitou! I can play with water!"

Zhang Ge's eight-year-old son made trouble without understanding the truth.

"Son of the prodigal son, calm me down! Dabao, watch Xiaobao, have you seen such a heavy rain? Go out to play with water? I think it's water to play with you. If you go out and try it, the rain will wash you. Let's go, rush into the Dragon Prince's mouth! Not to mention small stones, even big stones are useless. Hey, it's hard to say whether the walls of Nanjing can be kept today!"

Zhang Ge knew a little inside story, his face was sad, and he was depressed, and slapped Xiaobao in the face. After a while, he heard the child's crying, the woman's complaints, and the fifteen-year-old Bao hugged his younger brother and coaxed him. The sound of coaxing...

As a qualified minor official, well-informed skills are essential. Therefore, Zhang Ge heard some wind in the naval battle on the river thirty miles outside the city today.

Oh my God, the British warships attacked our navy's camp. Is there any need to say about the outcome?

The more Zhang Ge thought about it, the more irritable he became, so he kicked Xiaobao's mother again. His concubine, who was gradually fading, shouted: "Sad, don't cry! Tell you, if our navy is today, If you lose, just wait for the city wall to be broken by foreign devils!”

Zhang Ge's ancestors were from Beijing. When he was a child, he heard the story of the British and French forces capturing Beijing and burning the Three Mountains and Five Gardens (that is, burning the Old Summer Palace).

In his mind, the idea that the British were invincible was imprinted. Could this scene happen again in Nanjing more than 30 years later?

As mentioned earlier, Zhang Ge is a very content person. So he cherishes his current little happiness, so he is particularly afraid of the failure of the Nanyang Navy.

But the opponent is an invincible British guy. Can you not fail?

Zhang Ge's wife was a little bit edible. After hearing this, her cheeks and lips turned white: "Old, master. Will Nanjing be broken by foreigners? It's impossible..."

Nanjing has a tragic fate and was captured by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The older residents have had that gray memory.
To be continued...
