Chapter 463 The Imperial Court Fears Nothing But Foreigners (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Overnight, from a guest to a prisoner.

Liu Kunpeng really couldn't adapt to such a change. When he was pulled out of the American firm, he had only one thought in his mind—it was over!
Why the officers and soldiers would come to the door is nothing more than the exposure of their identities.

In fact, Liu Kunpeng has long been mentally prepared for the exposure of his identity. After all, Nanhua's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and the exposure is only a matter of time.

Before being arrested by the Huai army, Liu Kunpeng was not nervous, but just said to the leading officials.

"I want to see Lord Li!"

Without Liu Kunpeng's request, Li Hefei was already waiting for him in the prison when he was sent to prison. The so-called prison...is a room in the backyard of the governor's office.

There was no one else in the room, only Li Hefei was alone, and there was a table of food. When he saw Liu Kunpeng coming, he said.

"Yes, Brother Liu,"

Pointing to the table in front of him, Li Hefei said.

"I don't know Master Zhongtang, why is this?"

"The imperial court asked me to take it, I have to take it!"

Poured wine for Liu Kunpeng himself, Li Hefei said.

"I see."

Liu Kunpeng was straightforward, sat down at the table, looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and asked.

"Is this a dead wine?"

"not necessarily!"

Li Hefei shook his head and said.

"Whether to kill or not to kill, it will never be done by Li. The reason why you are taken today is the order of the court. If you kill you in the future, it is also the order of the court. You and I... each is the master!"

"Everyone is their master."

Nodding his head, Liu Kunpeng picked up his wine glass, looked at Li Hefei and smiled lightly.

"Since Zhongtang is holding a banquet here, he must have a question for me!"

After drinking it in one gulp, Liu Kunpeng said with a smile.

"Over the years, Lord Zhongtang trusts me, and I have never failed His Majesty's entrustment. When today is approaching, as long as the questions about Lord Zhongtang do not involve confidential matters, I will definitely tell you one by one!"

"Thank you virtuous brother for solving the doubts in brother Wei's heart!"

Li Hefei raised his glass and drank it all, and asked.

"Zuo Jigao is in Nanhua?"

"Yes."

"Wang Youling is here?"

"Yes! After they were defeated, they all went to Nanhua through my subordinates."

After a simple understanding of the whereabouts of the other people and the current situation, Li Hefei finally understood why those long hairs suddenly became stronger. The weapon was half bought and half given to Changmao.

"So, the reason why they came to Nanhua is because you exchanged them with foreign guns and cannons? How many people were killed and their wives were separated by exchanging guns and cannons? Brother Liu, Haven't you ever thought about it?"

When Li Hefei spoke, he was full of earnestness and earnestness, even a little compassionate.

Looking at his appearance, Liu Kunpeng sneered.

"The thieves come to kill all those who have shaved their hair, and the soldiers come to kill all those who have grown their hair. Your lord, in this chaotic world, the people are nothing but ants. Whether it's officials or bandits, who cares about the lives of the people? They don't go to Nanhua. Are you...waiting to die here?"

Facing Liu Kunpeng's accusation, Li Hefei was silent for a while, and then sighed heavily.

"In short..."

Shaking his head, Li Hefei stood up and said before going out.

"For a while, you just need to live here with peace of mind. As for the future...it depends on how you deal with Nanhua!"

"what?"

Liu Kunpeng looked at Li Hefei in surprise and asked.

"What does it mean?"

Li Hefei, who had already stepped over the threshold, paused, and answered with his head tilted.

"The imperial court is still afraid of foreigners..."

In the final analysis, what is the court most afraid of?
The reason why he arrested all these people from Hefei was nothing more than a gamble.

What if the imperial court dare not treat these "foreigners" again? "Foreigners" don't have to be Europeans with blonde hair and blue eyes.Even if it is them, even those who grew up in the Qing Dynasty may become foreigners after they go to foreign countries.

Nanhua... If they can act like foreigners, the court will naturally release them all.

……

"beep……"

The sound of the train whistle broke the tranquility of the Andes.The white steam is mixed with gray-black smoke, and as the train gallops, the train is shrouded in smoke, and the smoke and clouds are mixed together, making the train feel like being in a fairyland

The night passed, and outside the car window, the sky was getting brighter. Looking at the lofty mountains outside the car window, Dongxiang Heihachiro's eyes were full of awe.

"You can actually build a railway on such a cliff, you really deserve to be a Chinese!"

"The "Devil's Nose" will be here soon!"

Li Shiqing told the naval captain sitting opposite him mysteriously.

His mysterious tone seemed to be asking him, do you believe in building the Panshan Railway on the "Devil's Nose"?
""Devil's Nose", I heard that many people died to build this railway!"

Others said softly, they and Dongxiang were all captured Satsuma sailors, and now they are all mercenaries from Nanhua. Originally, they drove the "Shoho Maru" and the "Sihai" training ship to Linhai together, because " "Xiangfeng Pill" will be handed over to the Second Fleet for use after overhaul, so Dongxiang and others took the train directly to Nanhua.

Holding his breath, Dongxiang stared out of the window intently. He saw a steep wall on one side and an abyss on the other. The railway seemed to be hanging on the mountainside.

"Well, no wonder it's called the "Devil's Nose"..."

The train was traveling very hard and at a very slow speed. There were dense shrubs growing in the crevices of the cliffs, almost passing by the window.There is fog in the mountains, which is like a white yarn. When driving on such a cliff, what I feel is infinite shock!

"After the Devil's Nose, ten hours later, it will be the Pampas Prairie. Well, we prefer to call it the Nanhua Great Plain..."

Li Shiqing buckled his military cap on his face, and then said to himself.

"There's nothing to see here..."

Ten hours later, when the train drove out of the valley, someone called out.

"Look, the front is the Great Plains!"

Dongxiang and the others stood up one after another, and what appeared before their eyes was the endless plains. The fertile grassland was spread to the end of the world like a green carpet. On the grassland, some cowboys could be seen grazing large herds of cattle. , sheep, this pasture is the best pasture in the world, and Nanhua has no plan to turn all the pasture into arable land, but has reclaimed a large area of ​​farms along the river.

"This land is really vast!"

Looking at the sunset at the end of the sky, Togo Heihachiro said to himself.

"God really loves China, not only gave them China, but also gave China such a vast land in the New World."

"What is "give"? Who "give"?"

Li Shiqing, who seemed to be sleeping, immediately sat up straight and reprimanded him.

"Your Majesty colonized this place with more than a thousand people, conquered from east to west, and created this foundation with ten years of hard work. My Chinese ancestors have made great efforts to open up mountains and forests, and only then have we created the foundation of China for all generations. Today, we, the people of China, The American continent is surrounded by grass and grass, trekking through the mountains and forests to build a foundation, and raising barbarians, so it belongs to China! The creation is the foundation of my China in this place forever!"

Dongxiang who was reprimanded quickly stood up, bowed and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, I'm stupid, sir, please forgive me!"

When admitting his mistake, Dongxiang was extremely nervous. If he said these words in a small way, he would just say them casually. If he said them in a big way, they would be rebellious words.

Seeing that Dongxiang was a little nervous, Li Shiqing said to him.

"You just came here, and you don't know how difficult it is to start a business. How could you want to create a long-standing foundation of the Chinese nation in South America? How could you just talk about the descendants of European immigrants who originally lived on this land? There are Indians, how could they give it up? Why are we able to survive on this land, and what do we rely on?"

Li Shiqing clenched his fists and said.

"It depends on this!"
