Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The three scissor boat s that had gone through great repairs and cleaning were lined up in a long line. Under the lead of the water guiding boat, they slowly entered the Huangpu River.

More than three hundred European veterans had all changed into brand-new military uniforms. Among them, some of the more than three hundred European veterans had even changed into brand-new military uniforms, and some of the more than three hundred European veterans had even changed into brand-new military uniforms.

"The leader's Expeditionary forces! the Expeditionary forces who broke through the France … The iron army that broke into the French capital! "

"Men!" This was pure manliness! Victory! "Mighty!"

The crowd immediately began to clamor. No matter what era, it was the most inspiring achievement to be able to gallop across foreign territory and even attack a nation's capital.

The Chinese military victory, as well as the humiliation of the late Qing in front of the foreign devils, caused the morale of the people to rise abruptly.

However, Shanghai was an important place for business. People were not as concerned about politics as the Beijing, they were more concerned about money.

The astute eyes of the crowd had already locked onto the big and small boxes on the three scissor boat s' deck, and started to mutter.

The doors to the main hall of the Chinese Central Bank finally opened. The reputable Jiangnan Merchant House surrounded the glowing Fan Lian. Just now, old shopkeeper had gulped down a large cup of ginseng soup.

The main street facing Huangpu River immediately opened up, the temporary wooden bridge was specially built for unloading goods, and there was even a red carpet on top of it.

Shanghai Road, Central Bank guards and even the British tenants patrolmen had all ran over. Following the pre-set security tape, they had pulled out several isolation tape to protect the safety of this group of God of Fortune.

"Ouch …" The old shopkeeper had appeared! Looks like the rumors are true, old shopkeeper is here to receive the silver! "

"That's right, that's right …" "Aiyo, I'm so regretful. If I knew that the news was true, I would have eaten some stocks yesterday. Now, I'll definitely be able to win!"

"Heh heh, it's too late for you to regret your decision. Today, old shopkeeper will issue a temporary public announcement. The entire Jiangnan stock market will rest for a day, then the trade will stop!"

"Ouch …" "Ouch …" Having missed the opportunity, the small businessman stomped his feet anxiously.

At the moment, no one cared about the wailing of the treadmill, and all of their attention were focused on the three scissor boat s. Sailor had already started to put down the last of her tail sails, the speed of the ship had already completely slowed down, the power of the sailboats was completely dependent on the few small steamboat.

It was because of the boat's push that the scissor boat slowly moved closer to the dock. Following Ling Mutai's command, the sailor threw several ropes to the shore.

The dockworkers chosen by the central bank were all in their twenties or thirties. Their upper bodies were bare and their tendons tensed, and they began tying the cables.

"Thanks for your help …" He moved closer … Let the reporter take his place first... old shopkeeper, please slow down … "

The crowd subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but the renters and the Shanghai Road bailiffs all shouted in unison, "Retreat …" "Everyone retreat …"

The Chinese Navy Marines' leather boots stepped on the red carpet, causing the wooden trestle to rumble. The fully armored Marines quickly formed a circle around the street, forming the last line of defense.

Ling Mutai smiled as he walked to the front of old shopkeeper and saluted, "Expeditionary forces's Battalion Commander, Ling Mutai, is sending 320 metric tons of silver to the Central Bank, and a few cultural relics there …"

"old shopkeeper, this is the list. Please receive the central bank's staff members to count them! "Remember to give me a receipt so that I can report back to the military!"

The whole street exploded with noise, "How many?" "How much silver did you deduct from my ear …"

"320 metric tons, the unit of measurement for the foreigners... This is over ten million silver dollars! "

"Not only that, it'll cost at least twelve million silver coins …"

"All paid by the French? Is the news from Europe true? "

old shopkeeper was so excited that his beard was flying, he patted Ling Mutai's shoulders and said, "Open the chest, we will count at the door …" "Let all the merchants of Jiangnan take a look with their own eyes …"

Mi Fei and Niu Jinfu both laughed out loud, "old shopkeeper is right, we should open our eyes as well, let's see what the foreign devils' money is like!"

The workers had already lined up on the deck, carrying the huge wooden crates to the Bund to unload the goods.

One after another, the wooden boxes were opened. The white silver taels within were so dazzling that it made one's eyes go blurry!

Silver was not a measure of money in Europe, but it was used as a gold standard in Europe. Therefore, the silver transported back home was real industrial silver ingots.

Ten kilograms, twenty kilograms, and even fifty kilograms of large silver ingots. The numbers on the ingots and the words on the ingots were written in French.

No one would be able to understand it, but no one would deny the authenticity of this silver. In order to speed up the inventory count of the 320 tons of silver, Fan Lian had intentionally borrowed some accountants and storekeepers from the foreign bank.

"1765 Cast at the Paris Mint... This has been in stock for more than a hundred years! "

"Look at this piece …" Inscriptions of the Spanish Mint in 1734... "Oh my god, this thing is going to become a cultural relic soon!"

"The Imprint of the Silver Capital of Potosi …" This was directly forged from the South America's Potosi Silver Mine … "

The staff were all crazy. They divided the silver ingots one by one and checked them out in front of everyone on the streets of Bund.

Reporters from all over Shanghai are coming, the camera shutter is pressed down again and again, tomorrow these photos will fly all over Jiangnan through the newspapers.

It was dead silent. At this point in time, the tens of thousands of citizens of Bund had already lost their ability to speak, they could only watch as the silver mountain piled up, higher and higher, higher and higher.

Five meters, ten meters … One, two, ten...

In the end, the silver boxes that were unloaded were not those delicate wood box s that could be used again. What came out from the hold of the ship were all wooden boxes that were temporarily bound to carry ordinary goods.

This kind of box could not be used repeatedly even if it was opened. The crowbar would pry apart a few pieces of wood and the silver ingot would fall to the ground.

"Silver Mountain!" It's really Silver Mountain! " Someone from the crowd shouted loudly, and immediately, tens of thousands of people began to shout in unison, "Silver Mountain!" The Head of the Guards was mighty! The Chinese are mighty! "

The citizens of Great Qing were all going crazy. They finally understood that everything was real and that the legendary victory news from Europe was true.

The Führer did not lie to them, the Chinese did not lie to them, the luck of the country had really risen!

All of the foreign nationals present became silent. They looked at the emotional expressions on the faces of the tens of thousands of people in Jiangnan and felt a heavy sense of worry in their hearts. A strong sour taste circulated within their hearts.

Seeing that the atmosphere was close enough, Ling Mutai nodded to his subordinates. The third scissor boat started to unload its cultural relics, and this time the atmosphere became even more lively.

The huge oil painting "Napoleon across the San Bernardo Pass in the Alps" unfolded at the scene. The Europeans all knew what was good for it, this Famous Painting was too famous in Europe!

"Look …" The Coronation of Napoleon I was also stolen by the Chinese... God! "

One after another, the European Famous Painting were all stored in cow-hides rolled up in water. In order to prevent the tide, these cabins that were filled with oil paintings were filled with sacks of charcoal to soak up the moisture.

Ships via Mediterranean Sea, Indian Ocean, South China Sea... He didn't suffer any damage along the way!

The foreigners could not sit still any longer. Even the ambassadors from various countries came out to watch the European art treasures being counted and stored by the Chinese.
