Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C1906 Entering the canal

The scene in front of them stunned everyone. The people pushing the boat were all nobles of the local tribes. They were the men who were chatting with the imams inside the mosque.

The Islamic world has a very strict aristocratic system, and these families, which are very powerful in the area, even the French do not dare to provoke but choose to cooperate.

Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that these local serpents would personally escort the Chinese and even push them into the sea. Ferdinand almost dropped the telescope in his hand. "What's going on? When did Chinese power infiltrate here? "

"Immediately send someone to investigate what happened? Damn it, are these Chinese all incarnations of the devil? "Why can't I get rid of him …"

What was even more shocking was that the aboriginals of the port, the idler s who were just enjoying the show and were not afraid of trouble, were now so shocked that they couldn't even straighten up under the eagle-like gaze of the nobles.

"In the evening, the heads of the families will gather at the mosque. There are important matters to discuss …" Very soon, these words began to circulate through the crowd. The Patriarchs of various families who did not know what was going to happen, quickly went back home to pack up and prepare for tonight's meeting.

The medical team had successfully escaped from Suez Port, and the British sailors on both sides of the boat had not been able to stop them from clapping and whistling loudly.

In the eyes of these British sailors, those who dared to confront the French bayonet were brave soldiers. Being able to suppress the arrogance of the French was something that the British loved to see.

When the boat got close to the Zhiyuan Warship, Luo Houzi and the others wanted to climb the ladder, but Mr. Ba Ke stopped them. "Wait a minute, you can't board the boat.

Under the command of the medical team, everyone's masks and gloves were thrown into the sea. Their white coats were taken off, folded, and placed in a special case.

Immediately after, Evil Doctor Huang opened a wooden box and took out bottles after bottles of fine porcelain. Under the puzzled gazes of the soldiers, he opened the wax seal and the wooden stopper.

A strong aroma of wine assaulted their nostrils, and many soldiers were already salivating. "Wine!" Drink the wine! Is this the reward for our mission? " As he spoke, he was about to snatch it.

"Stop!" "Doctor Ba Ke knocked down the soldier's cat claws." This is a strong disinfectant wine, the alcohol's accuracy is extremely high, it's already over 60 degrees, it's not for drinking!

After saying that, Ba Ke raised his head and took a sip of the wine. After that, he sprayed out a mouthful of wine at himself, causing the rich aroma to immediately rush into the air, causing even the people on the Zhiyuan Warship deck to smell it.

"Just like this, spray your entire body and all of your equipment before you board the ship! "There are many strange diseases in Africa. If you meet any germs that we haven't seen before, then you're done for!"

The doctors were used to this method of disinfection. Some of them sprayed their mouths, some slapped their hands, and some wiped their medicine boxes with alcohol and cotton. Everything was done in an orderly manner.

But Luo Houzi and the rest of the soldiers were too secretive, they drank at least half of the strong alcohol, leaving only a small half on their clothes.

A liquor of over 60 degrees was considered superior in ancient times, so the price was definitely not cheap. The production of food in ancient times was not high, so eating was a problem for the commoners. Therefore, the wine making industry was considered as a luxury industry.

Ordinary people would only drink a little bit of alcohol during the new year festival. This kind of highly pure food and alcohol was something that ordinary people only provided by the city people. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to enjoy.

After eating half a bottle of disinfectant wine, Luo Houzi and the others had all turned into monkey butt faces. Only Ma Hui, the sole person who did not drink it due to his teachings, wiped his body with cotton and alcohol.

"Look at you! The Head of the Guards is watching from above, if you keep drinking, you won't get any part in any of the missions! "

Upon hearing the leader's name, the group of drunkards hurriedly returned the alcohol bottles and helped the medical team board the ship in embarrassment.

As soon as they boarded the ship, Xiao Letian and the rest gathered around and asked anxiously, "What's the situation here? Is the plague serious? Did the French do something? "

Ba Ke explained the situation with the plague in a simple manner. Finally, he said, "The plague is not that serious, as long as we use our methods to prevent it, we will be able to survive the dangerous period of half a month. The most important thing is to prevent it later …"

"But the biggest gain this time is still the French. I saw French Consul Ferdinand …"

Ba Ke carefully repeated what he had experienced in front of the Canal Company building, and he frowned as he listened to everything that had happened. Ma Hui then repeated what happened to him.

"We encountered most of the older kids' attacks. They were all around sixteen years old, saying that we are the devils that brought about the plague, and then they were merciless! "Chief, look, my head is full of bags …"

"Back at the mosque, the imams and nobles didn't say anything about why the teenagers attacked us. They were embarrassed by the question, so I felt there must be a problem!"

"Maybe the French are behind this!"

Actually, there was no need to think about it. Everyone present had already guessed the answer. The entire matter was organized by the French, so why would those nobles feel embarrassed? It was because they knew the reason why. They did not want to reveal their greedy image in front of their loved ones.

Xiao Letian nodded his head, "That's right, it seems like the French have already prepared a big dish for us, they are just waiting for us to speak! If not for Ma Hui's special identity, the three of you would have died on the street! "

"It seems like this trip to the canal will be a no-go, so inform the British to share the information!"

Xiao Letian did not know what attitude Jie Sen had after he received the information. In any case, the British warships had started to strongly demand to enter the canal, while the French side had to step up their coordination to chase away the merchant ships at the mouth of the canal, making way for the warships.

An hour later, when the sun began to set over the horizon, the first British battleship finally began to slowly enter the narrow canal, followed by the second one and the third one.

One by one, the long fleet entered the canal without an end. The Chinese battleships and supply ships were protected, and the Zhiyuan Warship s were the most important ones.

The moment the Zhiyuan Warship ship entered the canal's entrance, countless spectators suddenly came out from the two sides of the canal. The aboriginals watched with their mouths agape as this huge steel beast entered the canal.

Xiao Letian knew that at this moment, there were many cameras and sketching experts recording the appearance of Zhiyuan Warship. There must also be engineers from the French military who were researching the details of the battleship.

But it didn't matter, the proud Chinese had already stood up confidently, since they dared to pull out Zhiyuan Warship, they were not afraid of the enemy copying them.

Ferdinand stood in the middle of the crowd and looked up at the tall warship. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead as he felt the layers of killing intent coming from the warship, "This is the legendary one? "It's really different. It's completely a genius' design, completely breaking away from the original concept of naval warfare!"

"Looks like we're going to have to fight an arms race again! Damn it, the empire's finances were already tight, and now the navy is asking for more money … "
