Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 81 The Shooting Incident
boom!
A dull gunshot suddenly came from a distance.

"what happened?"

Liu Yongfu and the surrounding generals were very sensitive, immediately put down their chopsticks and wine glasses, stood up suddenly and looked in the direction of the gunfire.

"People on the foreign warship fired. There is a fishing boat nearby. Someone on the fishing boat was injured. It should have been injured by the gunshot just now!"

Wu Dong had sharp eyes and ears, and the sea was calm and the sun was shining, so he could see what was happening several miles away at a glance.

On the plywood of the warship flying the Mi Ziqi flag, a group of foreign officers and soldiers were cheering loudly, pointing in the direction of the fishing boat, their faces full of pride and complacency.

On the fishing boat less than [-] meters away, a fisherman fell in a pool of blood.

I was a little speechless in my heart, and didn't have many sympathetic thoughts.

It wasn't that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, but that the fisherman who had been shot was just an impulsive person blinded by interests, and he deserved the consequences of taking risks and failing.

It can be said that the plot in Huang Feihong's movie is quite nonsense and unreasonable.

Although it is true that foreign warships are showing off their power at their doorstep, it is really uncomfortable, but the reality is that there is nothing they can do about it.

However, the injured fishermen said that they did not recognize the English and American flags, which is suspected of nonsense.

Where is this place?

Guangzhou Bay, the fishermen who fish here say that they don’t know the English flag, it’s just a joke.

It is nonsense to say that the flags of the United States and England are mixed up.

It makes sense to say that the English flag is difficult to distinguish from the Australian flag, but it is so different from the American flag. How could a fisherman who has been fishing in Guangzhou Bay all year round not be able to tell the difference?
A Mizi flag, a Stars and Stripes, the difference is obvious, okay?

The reason why the injured fisherman lied in the movie is presumably to be a cover-up.

After all, he wanted to provide vegetables to the English warship...

Among them, it involves quite a lot of interests for fishermen.

There is a militia group operating Foshan Wharf and monopolizing the experience of supplying vegetables to the wharf. How could it be possible that they do not understand the tricks?
The purchase of vegetables for the foreign devils warships is a lot of money.

If it is at the Guangzhou Bay Wharf, there will naturally be a wharf gang responsible for providing it, and it is simply not the turn of individual fishermen to intervene.

The fish and shrimp harvested by the fishermen were purchased by gangs at the pier at extremely low prices, and the price difference between them was not a small sum for the fishermen.

But if the fishermen took the risk to hook up with the English warship and provide their own vegetables alone, it would be a considerable income.

The most important thing is that as long as they get on line with the English warship, they will be able to provide a continuous supply of vegetables and vegetables in the future, and if they fail, they can make a fortune from this.

To put it bluntly, the injured fishermen were most likely due to their own greed, which led to such a catastrophe. Not to mention hateful, but not worthy of sympathy.

Don't talk about what is there, if this injured fisherman really makes a fortune through this, will he easily give up this stable source of income?

Maybe, there will be another wharf gang established. When buying fish and shrimp from other fishermen, will they buy them at a fair price?

In the movie, the government didn't come forward, and neither did other forces. Only Huang Feihong came forward. This is to add luster to the pig's feet.

It's a pity that the English, who are currently at their peak, don't give face at all.

On the contrary, the admiral, who has always regarded the militia as a thorn in his side, took this opportunity to attack Huang Feihong and caused a lot of trouble.

Of course, these were just fleeting thoughts in his mind.

Beside him, Huang Feihong was already filled with righteous indignation and greeted the sailors on the boat, put down the boat and went to save people, as warm-hearted as ever.

Liu Yongfu and the generals of the Black Banner Army gritted their teeth at the proud British warship leaving.

As for the injured fishermen, although they sympathized, they didn't care too much.

They have seen too many lives and deaths, and they can't feel the slightest disturbance in their hearts.

The atmosphere on the deck was a little dull for a while.

When the fisherman was rescued, Huang Feihong gave him emergency treatment, and finally saved his life. After a period of recuperation, he will be fine.

Next, it is naturally time to ask about the specific situation...

Wu Dong was keenly aware that, except for Huang Feihong who was full of anger and anger, Liu Yongfu and the generals of the Black Banner Army were expressionless.

Obviously, these guys should also understand the key, otherwise their attitude would not be so cold.

Apart from echoing Huang Feihong's resentful words, they continued to do what they should do, which did not affect their mood.

However, when it comes to the strength of foreign ships, the atmosphere will inevitably drop to freezing point again.

"Everyone has one head and two arms. Why is the gap in combat power between us and foreigners getting bigger and bigger?"

"Yeah, before, they were all wooden sail warships, but now they are all changed to iron-clad warships!"

"Didn't those guys from Beiyang purchase foreign armaments in large quantities, and equip a lot of troops, why is the court still so unyielding?"

"Who knows what's going on, anyway, I think foreigners are nothing more than that. If we really fight, our Black Banner Army is not bad!"

"Yeah, a few years ago we fought against the French in Annan, and the combat power of these guys is just like that!"

"Okay, don't talk about it, these things are naturally considered by the court, is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"

Liu Yongfu gave a soft drink, ending the complaints of the generals of the Black Banner Army.

Huang Feihong was a little embarrassed, sitting on the side at a loss, and didn't know whether he should answer the conversation.

Wu Dong's expression was calm, without the slightest turmoil in his mind.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and dull, he chuckled and said, "During this time, I learned about the situation in some foreign countries in Foshan!"

"To be honest, I don't think there is a big gap between us and them, at least at this time!"

"The foreign warships are indeed powerful, but they cannot go ashore to fight. If the Black Banner Army meets the foreign army on land, at least they will not be afraid, will they?"

"Besides, as long as we are willing to study hard, with the size and wealth of the entire Huaxia, it is not too difficult to catch up!"

"Of course, there are some things that we are not qualified to intervene in. It's meaningless to talk too much, so let's do our job well!"

Liu Yongfu nodded in agreement and said: "A Dong is right, let's do our job well, and don't pay too much attention to the rest!"

When the feast is gone, this farewell will be over.

There is no lion dance, and there are no scenes of Huang Feihong performing, everything is very peaceful.

When they landed, the group had already reached the boundary of Foshan, and the injured fisherman was also brought here. Obviously, Huang Feihong wanted to be a good person to the end. As for whether he would be overwhelmed with justice and seek compensation from foreigners, Wu Dong didn't know. I don't even bother to understand...
