Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 366 Iron Fist Project
Guan Xuqing sneered, and felt that the tycoon of the Qing Gang looked so pitiful now, "It's the first time I've seen such a stubborn master like you, who dared to threaten me when things came to an end." He paused, and continued: " Now that the facts are all there, the Qinghong gang is the chief culprit of the riots in Shanghai, how ambitious are you, and you actually want to use this method to embezzle the Imperial Bank, what do you have to say now?"

Huang Jinrong suddenly looked up and laughed, as if he was crazy, "I lost this time, but one day I will make a comeback."

"What if I kill you now?" Guan Xuqing's eyes showed murderous intent.

Huang Jinrong didn't care at all, and said, "Kill me? Except for that Heavenly King Lao Tzu in the Forbidden City, who in the whole of China would dare to touch a single hair of my hair!"

Guan Xuqing also smiled and said, "Are you so sure?"

"Of course, the reason why the Qinghong Gang is able to prosper up to now must have some official connections behind it, especially those in Beijing."

"This is called a tree with big roots and deep roots."

"Correct!"

"I think it's not just the official connections in Beijing, there should be other backers behind you."

"Haha smart, I, Huang, like to talk to smart people, and I can tell a little bit."

"Tell me, I want to hear who your backer is, and see if I can move it."

Huang Jinrong leaned forward: "Shanghai is a place full of fish and dragons. If you want to gain a foothold here, you have to rely on the influence of foreigners. Do you understand this?"

Guan Xuqing nodded: "You are right, who are you relying on?"

Huang Jinrong leaned back on the back of the chair, looked at his hands casually, suddenly raised his head and said gloomyly: "Which country do you think will become the world's hegemon in ten years' time?"

"I think it must be China." Guan Xuqing replied affirmatively.

"Then you are wrong. Although I fell into your hands this time, my [-] years of life in the Jianghu are by no means for nothing. Mr. Huang has never missed anything when looking at people and things."

"Oh? Then I have to ask, which country do you think it will be?"

Guan Xuqing couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Don't you know that you were beaten by China a few years ago and almost wiped out the country?"

"Having said that, people are by no means easy to mess with. Their national spirit surpasses that of any other country, and people are fighting hard. I believe they will make a comeback in the near future!"

"It seems that you know people quite well."

Huang Jinrong snorted: "That's natural. People have brains and courage. With their support, I, Huang, will be as happy as wind and rain in the future." Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and looked at him. Guan Xuqing took a few glances and said, "Since I have revealed my hole card, it's time for you to reveal your real identity. If I guess correctly, you are definitely not the emperor's special envoy."

Guan Xuqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, Shanghai Bund Jinrong really lives up to its reputation, and its knowledge and experience are extraordinary!"

"Thank you for your kindness, now you can tell me about your real identity."

Guan Xuqing stood up, came to the window with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely, "Just now you said that only the Heavenly King of the Forbidden City in China can kill you, right?"

"Yeah, could it be..." Huang Jinrong seemed to feel something faintly, his hands and feet were already cold.

"My family lives in the Forbidden City, and I am in charge of the Golden Luan Palace. I own all the three thousand women in the harem and millions of soldiers and horses in the world. You originally said that Shanghai Bund is the territory of the Qinghong Gang. I don't know if what I said really counts?" , Guan Xuqing turned around suddenly, his eyes were like two sharp knives piercing Huang Jinrong's fatal spot.

"Ah!" Huang Jinrong's whole body trembled with chills, and he slid straight down from the chair. Even Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin turned pale with shock, their mouths opened wide and they could not speak.They originally thought that this special envoy was by no means an ordinary person, but even if they thought about it, they would never have guessed that it would be the current emperor.

Zhao Bingjun saw that the time was ripe, and roared angrily: "Bold madmen, you have been rude to the emperor several times, and now you know that the emperor is here, and you still don't kneel down, do you want to rush to be wiped out by speculators!"

The three of them lost their prestige, knelt on the ground together, and stammered: "Long live the grass people and grass people to participate in my emperor!"

Guan Xuqing had already sat back on the chair, but immediately withdrew his smile: "You three know your crime and don't know it!"

"Convicted, grassroots convicted, please forgive the emperor."

"Excuse me? How dare you organize underground forces under my nose, bully the market, monopolize Shanghai's economy, use the name of Sanxin Company to do some dirty arms deals with others, and now deliberately disrupt the order in Shanghai, what do you say How should I punish you for this crime!" Guan Xuqing didn't speak much, but he carried a blade.

The three of them are usually powerful gangsters, but now facing His Majesty the emperor of a country, they can't stand it no matter what, they just kowtow blindly begging for mercy.

Zhao Bingjun leaned close to the emperor's ear and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what should we do with these three people? Are they shot on the spot?"

Guan Xuqing didn't answer, and said to Huang Jinrong and the others: "I thought that there must be a backer behind the Qinghong Gang, but what I didn't expect was that you would find the weakest one to rely on."

"The grass people were blind and confused for a moment, and they did stupid things only after being deceived by others. As long as the emperor spares their lives, the grass people will definitely commit crimes and make meritorious deeds." Huang Jinrong kowtowed a few more times while speaking.

Guan Xuqing sneered: "I'll talk about this later, there is someone who really wants to see you."

Huang Jinrong raised his head in astonishment, with a dazed expression on his face.

"Come here!" Zhao Bingjun greeted the outside, and the door of the conference room slowly opened.

"Ah! Why is it you!" Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin were stunned for a moment!

At this time on the European battlefield, the army of the imperial cavalry was like a broken bamboo, and it defeated several lines of defense of the enemy, and finally came to the small town of Maux, which was already the last line of defense of the French army. It was on the north side of the Orqui River. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The French deployed three divisions here in an attempt to stop the imperial cavalry here.General Xiafei's order was that no matter how much the price was paid, the Chinese must not be allowed to break through the city defenses.

March 3.The Imperial Iron Cavalry launched the "Iron Fist Project" formulated by the German Advisory Group. The core of this plan is to take down Maox, cut off the connection between the French army and the British army of Montion, and then attack from both wings to completely eliminate and break through this line of defense. .

To this end, Zhang Zuolin mobilized the Third Army Corps and the Artillery Division overnight, as well as the Cheetah-class tanks that the Ministry of the Army had just brought in as reinforcements from China.In order to reduce the weight of the vehicle body, this tank does not use a cannon with high chamber pressure and high rate of fire, but a 75mm caliber howitzer. Bulletproof steel plate, the engine of the chariot uses a tank engine, and the speed is not very fast, only about 30 kilometers per hour.However, this kind of car is specially used for urban street fighting, and it is specially built to deal with European terrain, so it doesn't matter if it is slower.The third armored company participating in the battle this time had a total of 20 such strange tanks, but due to mechanical failures and other reasons, only 15 were put into battle.These 10 newest tanks will be scattered in platoons in three offensive routes to act as spearheads.

At six o'clock in the morning, the Iron Fist plan officially began to be implemented.Accompanied by the attack of 24 wheel-mounted artillery pieces, Maokes Pier was immediately plunged into a sea of ​​flames, and then 16 105mm mountain artillery pieces also joined the chorus of artillery pieces.Soon the pier occupied by the French army and the surrounding buildings were covered by the pouring rain of shells.In an instant, the French soldiers guarding the nearby buildings suffered heavy losses.

The shelling lasted for more than an hour, and a total of about [-] shells were destroyed. Most of the defensive positions of the French army on the pier line were destroyed after this shelling, causing heavy casualties.

But it didn't end there.At 7 o'clock in the morning, with the fall of the last shell, the French soldiers slowly climbed out of the artillery bunker.This was the first time they encountered such powerful artillery fire, and all the survivors showed unprecedented fear on their faces.They don't know how long they can last, and they don't know if they will die today.

Just as they were feeling at a loss, there was a disturbing sound of motors in the sky.Hearing those voices, the French immediately became more terrified, and then they all went back to their shelters.

Soon, a mass of black airships appeared in the southwest direction of the sky. The hulls of those airships were all painted black, but the golden dragon logo with dancing claws on the balloons was still very conspicuous.

Under the guidance of two reconnaissance boats, the flight formation quickly arrived near the pier, and then began to detour around the port and nearby buildings. The reconnaissance boat dropped several red smoke tubes, marking the Once the bombing range was reached, the rest of the bombing boats followed immediately, and dropped bombs one after another according to the signal indicated by the smoke pipe.The bombs included 65kg high-explosive and 50kg incendiary bombs.The Maukes Wharf and its surrounding area, which had just calmed down for a moment, turned into a sea of ​​flames again.Although the French soldiers stationed there tried their best to request the headquarters to send airships to support them by radio, but because the two largest French airship bases were devastated by the Chinese airship brigade a while ago, they were almost completely lost. Sent back to the Paris defenses, he besieged the Gaul capital.So Maukes and its environs had no French air power at all.And for the sake of the overall situation, it is impossible for Xia Fei to send reinforcements from the limited airship.

The bombing lasted for about an hour, mainly to ensure the effect of the bombing.Operating in the sky without the harassment of enemy boats, the Chinese airships circled back and forth in the sky above Max as if they were in no man's land.
