Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Xiang Ying and the army initially didn't want to come to the Ikek, so this unexpected battle was not part of their plan. After leaving the Dakar, the Zhiyuan Warship stopped all military operations.

They had experienced countless dangers during this long journey back to the Dakar. After the bloody war with the Dakar, the Atlantic Navy of the English and French were all crazily searching for this legendary battleship. All the western merchant ships on the golden channel received an urgent order, and they all widened their eyes in search of this ghost ship.

Zhiyuan Warship did not dare to approach the golden channel during the day. In order to cross the channel, they had to choose between the pitch black night sky and the restricted lighting.

It was true that the ancestors had a spirit, but the fate of China had yet to decline! Along the way, they had almost been caught four times by the English and French's fleet. However, Fate once again revealed a smile, and the Zhiyuan Warship successfully escaped from danger and passed the trial.

The English and French's warships, the European merchant ships, the Atlantic storm, and the loneliness and sickness from their slow journey had all failed to defeat these brave young men. When they passed through the Drake Strait and entered the Chile's territorial waters, all the people in the fleet finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They were finally able to reach a relatively safe area. Maybe the intelligence agencies of the English and French had always thought that the Zhiyuan Warship would circle around South Africa and enter the Indian Ocean, so the density of surveillance was still very low.

After crossing Drake Strait, the English and French's warships could barely be seen. However, the returning fleet was not happy for a few days. When the scissor boat s were stealthily making their way to the shore of Monte Port to purchase a batch of supplies, they received a shocking piece of news.

It turned out that not only was Weng Derong and Chen Yonglu's Heavenly Kingdom soldiers fighting in the South America, but more than ten thousand soldiers of the Southern Ocean Heaven Kingdom had also just arrived in Antofagasta, escorted by the officials of the Ryukyu.

The scissor boat immediately stopped replenishing and left for the outer seas to meet up with the Zhiyuan Warship. When Xiang Ying and the others received the information, they immediately ordered them to abandon their original plans of heading to the Dahuangdi to sail north to watch the battle.

According to their plans, if the war between the Chile and the were to go smoothly, then the Zhiyuan Warship would not appear from the outer seas and head westward towards the Dahuangdi, returning back home. However, once the war was foiled, the Zhiyuan Warship would definitely not just sit by and watch their friends suffer.

"The warship is a floating homeland, the Zhiyuan Warship's armor is the homeland, this is the soul of the Prime Minister injected into the Navy, this is the root of the existence of the Ryukyu Navy! The motherland couldn't just sit by and watch as her children were defeated and slaughtered! That's why we're participating! "

The powerful voice caused all the Heaven veterans s to be moved. It was such a great feeling to have a homeland behind his back, even a beggar would have to lean against a wall after beating a dog. Even a lowly child would not be afraid when thinking of the existence of a mother behind his back!

Sky Nation had already perished and could no longer be revived. It was just that these veterans of South America had already stood in the Ryukyu's camp. All the Chinese in Ikek had accepted the status of dual nationality in Chile and Ryukyu.

Xiao Letian had painstakingly operated for these past few years with endless effort, and in the end, he had obtained rich returns. All of the legacies left behind by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, whether tangible or intangible, had all been inherited by him.

In the following decades, when the Ikek won a great victory and obtained a hundred and fifty years' rent, the various Empyrean bloodlines scattered all over the world secretly made contact with the Ryukyu. Just south of the Yangtze River, there were already over a hundred and thirty secret gangs that declared their allegiance to the Ryukyu.

Xiao Letian had obviously obtained the approval of all the underground gangs and societies in China. He could even put in all his effort to save the Heaven Nation, not to mention those small anti-Qing gangs.

Xiang Ying and the others were not only here to encourage the overseas Chinese, they were also here to negotiate with the army of the Chile. When Xiang Ying offered a price of 500 thousand silver coins, Xi Lapizuo was dumbstruck.

"My God! Do you really need so much money just for this battleship? This is blackmail! "

Five hundred thousand silver taels, if it was converted into a metric system, it would be worth a ton of silver. Even if the Chile was rich in gold and silver, it would not be able to produce this much silver.

"Blackmail? Hehe … You want to win this war without us? If you say that five hundred thousand silver is too expensive, I say that this is still a discount for our friendship. "

"Do you know how much a 210- caliber naval gun shot costs? Do you know that we used hundreds of artillery shells in that naval battle? How to calculate the loss of forced pressurization of steam turbine? How to calculate the decrease of service life caused by rifling wear? Do you think that the main cannon of a battleship can be used for a lifetime without being replaced or repaired? "

"Modern warfare is just a game of burning money. You want to win without the mountains of gold and silver? If you want to monopolize the bird dung stone and the saltpeter mine, and also do not want to invest in the military, it would be best for you to wake up from such a cheap task. If you continue sleeping, you might even fall asleep! "

Xi Lapizuo was rendered speechless by the retort, and he knew that the following battles would not be without the support of the Chinese. If he wanted to continue attacking the Peru and its territory, the more than ten thousand brown army s definitely would not be lacking.

Three days later, Xi Lapizuo received the authority of the President, allowing him to handle the negotiations with the Ryukyu with full authority. The Chile provided a total of three tons of high-grade silver ore and ten tons of copper ore as the military expenses for the Zhiyuan Warship to participate in the war.

Subsequently, the two sides officially signed the Ryukyu's lease for two-thirds of the region. This two-thirds of the region was not limited to just the city, but was also the vast lands in the northern part of Ikek Province. two-thirds of a province was completely managed by the Ryukyu, while the Chile only retained its sovereignty.

When the news reached the ears of these Heaven veterans, everyone cried like they were crazy, laughed crazily, and howled madly while hugging each other. The Heavenly Kingdom that Hong Xiuquan did not give to them in the past, he did not expect to actually obtain it at South America Continent.

In the eyes of these veterans who have left their hometowns, the Kingdom of Heaven is not a land of milk and honey, nor is it a heaven of trees hung with gold agate. In the simple values of the Chinese people, as long as we can build a house, own some of our own land, have a wife and children, and then try our best to build our home impartially, it is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Such a simple and unadorned ideal, such a simple request, yet it was impossible to obtain even if one sacrificed millions of lives. This must be said to be the sorrow of a nation for thousands of years.

After the agreement was signed, Xiang Ying did not waste a single minute. He immediately boarded the boat and left the Ikek, converging with the Zhiyuan Warship outside the sea. After boarding the ship, he quickly headed towards the Fernandez Islands.

However, he never expected that after he left the Ikek, the secret message from there would arrive just like that.
