Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C2078 Two hundred thousand pounds

Xiao Letian and Zai Chun had a deep relationship with master and son, but behind them, within the command cabin of Zhiyuan Warship, a group of young military officers was gritting their teeth.

Jin Sanshun stared at Zai Chun's back until his eyes were about to spew fire, and muttered: "Ah, two hundred thousand, a full two hundred thousand pounds for this little ingrate? What does the Head of the Guards think, and what does he think? "

Lin Zhen sloppily said with a cigarette in his mouth, "What else can I think about? Acting, isn't it because I hope that our 'emperor' will sell us a little less? With such a big scale, the future will be ours! If he sells all of it, wouldn't Master die from swindling?"

Cai Bixia sighed and shook his head: "I'm afraid you're wrong, you want to sell it for two hundred thousand? Dream on, all of Zai Chun's actions were not something that he could decide, no matter how young he was, he had to consider his status … I feel that these two hundred thousand were personally given to Zai Chun by the head of state. It doesn't have any deeper meaning, it's just a gift from father to his son who is about to establish himself! "

"F * ck!" Jin Sanshun cursed in a low voice, "You said giving out two hundred thousand was free? Master, what's wrong? Do you know how difficult it is for me to be a part of this family? Didn't the United Fleet have to spend money on food and drinks along the way? "Even if the British provided some supplies, I have already calculated that by now, the expenses have exceeded 2.4 million silver dollars …"

"Aren't you saving the flowers? This time, we brought out 8 million silver taels in cash. We even have to fight in the later stages of the war. "My heart hurts, my heart hurts …"

Jin Sanshun was the Chief Steward of the entire fleet, he was responsible for the internal affairs of the Zhiyuan Warship. The army was originally a gold-eating beast, and adding on that, although Prussia side had provided them with logistics, the war was always uncertain. No one could place their hopes on anyone else.

So this time, the fleet brought along countless of arms supplies, and their cash brought in over eight million. I heard that Wang Huaiyuan also brought up a batch of CIA's gold, but even Jin Sanshun himself didn't know how much it would cost.

It was true that there was a lot of money, but it all depended on what it was spent on. If the family had enough money to spend for ten lifetimes, but to fight and kill people, this much money was not enough. A single shot from the Zhiyuan Warship would cost more than twenty thousand silvers, which showed how cruel this war was.

Jin Sanshun had already received the Leader's order to offer two hundred thousand to Zai Chun. This fatty did not dare to disobey the Leader's order, but the Head of the Guards could not suppress him and not complain.

"Does his Qing Dynasty not have money? The Forbidden City sent so many national gifts, yet they didn't send any money? Zai Chun is the emperor of the Great Qing, not one of us, what right do we have to give him money? "

"I say, let's go to the Führer together. I don't believe there's no place for us to negotiate!"

It was only then that Xiang Ying finally laughed coldly and said, "What are you shouting about? He's willing to play the part of a father and son, can you stop him? You, Jin Sanshun, are only a butler, yet you really want to be the manager? If you gave me the two hundred thousand, then so be it. We stole a sum from the French in Port Said anyway, and didn't spend our own money … "

"Don't worry, master has his own master to consider. In our Asian cultural tradition, master and disciple, ah!" "They are master and disciple. The relationship between the leader and us is not like the relationship between teachers and students in the West. It is more like the relationship between masters in the Confucian school …"

"If the leader doesn't pay, then today's matter really won't end well. How can a father like his son, Dan Fei, not have a starting fund? If Master can treat Zai Chun like this, then she will not treat us poorly in the future … "

"Furthermore, these things are just for show to the British. Look at Duke of Newcastle's aggressive attitude, this is just a test for us. I feel that the leader is going to start acting like a pig and eat the tiger.

"Pah …" Lin Zhen opened the window and threw out the cigarette in his mouth into the wind, causing sparks to fly out into the ocean.

"Hidden!" Hidden! How long would it take to hide? "Ai …"

Xiang Ying looked at him, "You're complaining too much! The Führer had faced many adversity, and he had not been able to get through it safely. I feel that Master must still have some cards up his sleeves, and there must be some killing moves that we don't know about … "

"I don't believe that there is nothing this British Empire is afraid of. Where was his weakness? "Just where is it …"

Of course, Xiao Letian knew where the British Empire's weakness was, he even knew the weakness of Europe. However, he had to keep this secret in his heart, he could do it but not tell others.

An hour and a half passed quickly, the Zhiyuan Warship's speed became slower and slower, the smoke in the chimney also gradually became lighter. In the faint glow of dusk, the wide mouth of the Thames River appeared before everyone.

At this time, the numerous British ships on the river's surface began to salute the distant guests. The shore was packed with tens of thousands of nearby British citizens. Each one of them watched the distant fleet curiously with their feet on the ground.

"Look, that's the Steel Zhiyuan Warship …" "I've seen the Eastern Chinese series in the newspaper. That's a legendary battleship …"

"Victory! Everyone, quickly look! Our Victory has come out from Huai Te Island … "Long live!" The shore was full of cheers.

"Wait, look …" Why did a group of people get off the Chinese battleship? They want to go ashore! "

"What is that thing? Why is there something bright yellow like an umbrella on the transport barge?" "So strange …"

Right at this time, a weird accented English was suddenly heard from the back of the crowd: "That's called the Qiluo umbrella. Under the umbrella is the Emperor of the Great Qing …"

"Ah …" Everyone exclaimed, they turned around and saw a man wearing an exquisite suit. He was smiling as he looked at the distant battleship, and beside him was a beautiful woman from the East wearing a gorgeous dress.

"My God! "What a beautiful young lady …" A few lecherous men started to drool, but just as a trace of malevolent intent emerged in their hearts, they suddenly discovered that there were four European bodyguards closely following behind these two Oriental men. With a glance, they could see that their waists were bulging with pistols.

Behind the crowd, the British police did not even dare to look at them. They did not even bother to ask when they saw the gun in their hands.

Everyone quickly lowered their heads and looked at each other. The meaning was clear: these people are not to be trifled with, and do not cause any trouble.

King Yi and Fang Guan did not have time to care about what these people were thinking. Their eyes were fixated on the Zhiyuan Warship s that were slowly dropping the anchor, and the brothers and masters that they had been yearning for day and night.
