Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

There was no medicine for regret in this world, no matter how smart Ferdinand was, he would never be able to fly over this 10 kilometre long canal. At the moment, Counsellor La Ku was already begging for the cooperation of the British side.

In fact, Counsellor La Ku's actions were not wrong, the diplomatic dispute was about logic and reason, and the third party evidence was very crucial, and the more influence a third party witness had, the more beneficial it was to the negotiations.

Chinese, France, England, Egypt... The only things that can be said right now are the four sides, of which the Egyptian right to speak is negligible, so the only thing that remains is the British attitude.

Counsellor La Ku seeking for the help of the United Kingdom was completely reasonable. This was a diplomatic attempt. However, Counsellor La Ku's cultivation was not as profound as Ferdinand's, after all. There were many deep level national interests that he had not fully comprehended.

After three whole hours of useless talking, Major General Jie Sen was still pretending to be a fool. La Ku gradually lost his patience, but just as he was about to say something rude, an emergency knocking sound came from the cabin door.

"Counsellor!" A message suddenly came from the shore... The Chinese have come to our Consular House! "It's an officer. He wants to see the high ranking officer …"

"What?" So fast! They are too arrogant, bombarding the fifth station, fighting with us in the army when we land, and even destroying the telegraph line in the end, they even dare to take the initiative and come over? "

"They dared to attack after destroying our warship?"

Jie Sen wiped the saliva on his face and suddenly said indifferently: "Yes, you are right, but now there is a problem … …" You all have shot at the Great Qing's emperor before! What if the Chinese just cling on to this? "

"Hiss …" Counsellor La Ku sucked in a breath of cold air, thinking that if it was broken, it would really be a big problem!

"General!" "I don't think you would testify on behalf of the Chinese just because of the friendship between our two countries, would you?"

"Hahaha …" "Haha!" Jie Sen laughed dryly, "You better not let the Chinese wait too long, this is not polite at all! However, I must remind you that since you did not choose to resolve the conflict by force in the early morning, there is no chance of that now … "

"Are you threatening me?" Countess La Ku said with an ashen face.

"No, no, no …" "I'm definitely not a threat. I'm just telling you the truth. There are some opportunities that we've missed out on!"

Jie Sen cursed in his heart: "Coward, if you guys really took advantage of the chaos and started a war with the Chinese in the morning, would you think I would join in? "We are not stupid in England. The sandpiper and clam fight over profits. How well did the Chinese say?"

"When the time comes, I will escort a broken Zhiyuan Warship into the mouth of the Thames! When the time comes, the Prime Minister will reward me with... It was you who lost such a great opportunity, and now you still dare to glare at me! "

In the end, Counsellor La Ku still did not have the guts to fall out with England. Before leaving, the Counsellor suddenly said in a low voice, "I hope that the General can consider carefully. If this matter can be resolved smoothly, I will consider the number of troops your side has in the canal …"

"Haha, good, good. Take care …" Jie Sen watched as Counsellor La Ku left the battleship and boarded the boat, then returned back to the cabin to open his precious safe, just like stroking his lover's skin, stroking the teacups and dishes one by one.

"Beautiful, so beautiful! Although Europe can also produce porcelain, but no matter how you compare it, it lacks this little bit of charm... Hehehe, timid and greedy French, you want to use your saliva to exchange for my actual support? Dream on! "

"If the dry goods are in place, I might be able to personally prove it for you. However, since you're so unenlightened, don't blame me for being impolite …"

"Someone, notify the Zhiyuan Warship …" "Tell the esteemed leader that I have two bottles of old whisky and that I hope to enjoy them together in the evening. In addition, I like the sour and sweet meat made by Chinese chefs very much and I hope to have the luxury of tasting it again!"

Actually, General Jie Sen misunderstood Counsellor La Ku, he was not the type of person who did not know his place. It was normal for him to bribe each other in the diplomatic scene, so everyone was well aware of this fact.

La Ku was already prepared. After returning to the Consular House, he would prepare a huge gift for the British. The price would be around ten thousand Gold franc.

However, it was a pity that La Ku never realized how generous Xiao Letian was. If this set of Southern Song official kiln porcelain was placed in the European collection circle, it would be worth more than a hundred thousand Gold franc.

Xiao Letian was definitely not a miser, in his heart, money was what he needed. As long as he could solve the problem, spending a little more wouldn't be a problem.

The Port Said was French, and there were 12 fully armed Chinese Navy sailors at the door. They all wore military attire that could only be used during ceremonies, a white shirt, a light blue military uniform, a small lapel, and a thick leather belt that tied around the waist, as well as shining boots that went past the knee.

Every button on the uniform was made of pure copper, and they cleaned it until it shone with golden light.

This uniform, coupled with the brand-new Mao Zedong, the revolver at his waist, and the Chinese physique and facial features that were distinctly different from those of Europeans, gave him a unique air.

It was mighty, domineering, and orderly. There was even a trace of a literary aura mixed in it! This was the credit behind Xiao Letian's demand for compulsory education to the entire army. Even the army of the English and French did not dare to guarantee a zero illiteracy rate, but they did create such a miracle in the Chinese Army.

The educated and uneducated were definitely different in temperament. The illiterate and blind would definitely be confused, and the twelve soldiers brought out by Xiang Ying had already reached the point where they could communicate normally. The eyes of this kind of person showed reason and wisdom.

Xiang Ying's military uniform was even more gorgeous, all the buttons were made of bronze gold, making it look even brighter and more dazzling. The material of the military uniform was also more expensive, it was so hot that it did not have any wrinkles.

The officer's gown was decorated with a great number of golden tassels and there were also a lot of metal nameplates that added to the smell of iron and blood. His waist was imitated a Tang Saber. This was a ceremonial sabre created by the research of the Fusang Sword Craftsmen and the Qing Empire Sword Craftsmen.

Gems and gold were embedded in the handles, the pure white gloves holding onto a ceremonial blade made Xiang Ying feel even more heroic.

It had to be said that humans were a type of visual animal. There was a famous saying in the future generations, 'whoever is beautiful is the most reasonable'. The citizens subconsciously liked to get close to handsome men and beautiful women. When Xiang Ying and the twelve handsome soldiers appeared, it immediately caused a sensation among the citizens of Port Said.

The crowd grew larger and larger, and even the women with veils moved out. They looked at these Chinese people from afar with a strange expression in their eyes.
