Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

What is a nation? What is a country? This was a phrase that countless people called a lousy name, but not many people could truly feel the warmth of these two words.

It was a truth that would never break even in times of trouble. Only when a nation or nation was facing true enemy soldiers and faced with a common disaster could they feel the warmth of these two words.

We are of the same species, we share the same values and interests. Although we fight and quarrel all the time, when the foreign invaders invade, we will still be burdened by these people.

Are there such soldiers and armies in this world? In all of China's thousands of years of history, only the Yue Army did not break down their houses and starve to death. Other than that, which army loved their people so much?

Letting people eat food while eating weeds and gnawing on tree bark – who would believe such a thing if it were to be known?

Chang Sanhao subconsciously did not believe it. "Liars, they're lying... Be careful that Xiao Letian doesn't take revenge! "These idiots …"

The despicable will never experience the soul of the noble, and the rats in the sewers will never see the beauty of the Soaring Eagle. What made Chang Sanhao and the others even more speechless was that, at that moment, all the people on the street actually believed the old shopkeeper's' lie '.

With a boom, no one on the street was able to stand still. Everyone kneeled on the ground and cried out, "We were wrong …" We're really wrong, we're not human... "Sob, sob, sob …"

"No one in this world has ever truly treated us common people as human beings. There are only the Prime Minister and only the new army …"

The crowd could not hold back their sobs. They knelt on the ground and choked with sobs. In this era where the hearts of the people were simple and honest, if you treated the people well, they would definitely reward you.

"Don't embarrass yourselves anymore, you've wasted our military rations. I, your father, will make up for it with my broken family …" "My family would rather eat wild vegetables all our lives to protect our new army. Without them, we would be slaves to anyone …"

The mood at the scene immediately changed. Everyone turned from rice snatching to contributing military rations, causing even Boss Mi to be dumbstruck. He quickly shouted, "Rice and more, I still have some food stored outside the city …" "As long as we can stay together, the crisis will definitely pass …"

"I, Fatty Mi, swear here that if I dare to raise the price, I'll lose my ass in front of my son!"

However, they never would have thought that the people would be so stubborn. They would only say one thing, "If you do wrong, you have to change. If you waste something, you have to compensate …" The heavens are watching, you can't get wrong on top of that! "

This scene was too touching, the old shopkeeper and the other riders couldn't help but cry. They all thought back to what Xiao Letian had said in their lessons before.

"The common people are not stone-hearted, they are not greedy for small gains and forget about righteousness. The key is whether or not we can achieve our own goals! "The eyes of the commoners are bright as snow. Who would be able to tell just by looking at him …"

"As long as you can truly move them, as long as you can move the softest place in their hearts, the kindness of the people will be repaid to you in a way that you can never imagine …"

Today, the living reality was right in front of the soldiers. They had personally witnessed the crowd moving away like ants to bring back the rations they had hidden in the forest. The waiters of the rice shop had blocked the entrance but were unable to withstand the people.

Boss Mi was crying so hard that tears could be seen from his eyes. Oh my god! I don't want to make money, okay? I can't even accept money? I can't even give you rice for free? "

"I, your father, will be an unscrupulous businessman for the rest of my life. I will cut off all descendants …"

This was enough to make the Manager Fan famous throughout history. However, all the credit belonged to Xiao Letian, and the only name that everyone was thinking of right now was their Prime Minister.

The Ryukyu was very lucky to have a new army! The citizens of Ryukyu were extremely fortunate to have such a person! With Xiao Letian in East Asia, he was even more fortunate!

Sun Ximei and the others had already escaped, and the shock they received today would never be forgotten. They disguised themselves as commoners as they walked on the streets, escaping towards their hiding spots deep in the mountains.

"sib, think of something. My heart is in chaos, I don't understand what's going on today …" Chang Sanhao sat on a rock and blew at the sea breeze, and said with lingering fear.

"What's your idea?" "If you want me to say it, then run. The boat we're hiding in the cave should be of use. As long as we can get out of the French encirclement and come across any merchant ship on the sea, we can go home …" Stubborn donkey's heart was already beating a drum.

On the surface, the group of spies from the Qing Dynasty all took Chang Sanhao as their manager, but in truth, everyone was willing to listen to Sun Ximei. This clever woman, stared at the Shouli City with flickering eyes, and sighed.

"Go?" Can you walk? If we didn't meet up with that mysterious person earlier, it would have been fine … "Now that the new mission has been assigned, I'm afraid we'll be caught when we get home …"

Upon mentioning the mysterious man, none of the spies present dared to say anything. Originally, this group of people had already completed their mission of sending the news of the war between the French back to the continent. However, just as they were about to leave the Ryukyu secretly, a snitch who they had never seen before found them.

Sun Ximei and the others would never have thought that a single person could take out two secret orders. One of them was a conscription order to the Military Intelligence Service, while the other was an identification issued by the British Embassy, to show that he was a double agent.

A single Military Intelligence Service transfer order was enough to order Chang Sanhao and his group, but the identity certificate of the British Embassy only emphasized the importance of this mission, the subtext saying that no one can think of doing anything funny, your father's background is extremely scary.

The mysterious man was only a messenger, Sun Ximei did not know where the real big shot was hiding, but there was one thing that he could be sure of, and that was that he would not be able to escape.

Mi Yang had completely failed, none of the people sitting down could think of a better way to stir up internal conflict, but they don't dare to run yet. Sun Ximei clenched her teeth and stomped her feet hard on the ground, "Let's go, we need to hide in the mountain first. If we fail this time, they will definitely contact us again. "Damn it, I've had eight lifetimes of bad luck, encountering these freaks …"

The spies of the Qing Dynasty disappeared from the mountains, but the mysterious person they were talking about was not on the island, but was in the ocean.

Three hundred meters in front of him was the French battleship. At this time, a slender scissor boat stopped on the west side of the battleship, and the figure's target was there.

"There are people in the sea …" Is he a water ghost of the Ryukyu? " When his figure was 50 meters away from the warship, the sharp-eyed sailor suddenly noticed something strange in the sea, which was soon followed by the sound of the bullets in the rifle.

The French were very cautious of the water ghost, afraid that the barbarians would ambush them again. Although they still did not understand the theory behind the water mines, the seed of fear had already been planted.

" Don't shoot, I'm on your side... I'm employed in Britain... " The soldiers never expected to hear a strange English accent from the sea.

"Any evidence?" the Frenchman on the deck shouted.

"I'm going to the Tulip. My boss is on board... He is a citizen of Qing, his name is Gong Cheng … Lord Gong is my superior … "

The moment this name was uttered, all the officials on the deck understood that those who weren't from the same side as them would definitely not know who the guests on the mysterious merchant ship were.

Yes, he is the famous traitor, Gong Cheng, who led the British and French combined forces to burn the entire Yuan Ming Yuan.

On the deck, Gong Cheng was drinking with Ambassador of France and General Bruce. The wine was as red as blood, and the dishes were the Naha Harbor that were dimly lit in the distance.

With a small sound of "putong", he kneeled on the deck, "Reporting to my lord, Mi Fa has failed. I never thought that not only did Xiao Letian's soldiers not suppress them, they even started to stow away their rations … "With this, we won't be able to execute any follow-up plans. However, we haven't been exposed, so we still have a chance …"

Gong Cheng smiled as he looked at him: "Un, no problem, I didn't expect you to succeed in the first place, then Xiao Letian's rise to East Asia is already extraordinary, if you can't even pass this little test, then this game is really boring, hahaha …"

Gong Cheng was a skinny little old man in his fifties. He was dressed in a black satin robe and had a large water pipe in his hands.

However, those who knew him all heard of his nickname, Gong Banlun. This meant that in his heart, there was no king, no father and son, no husband, no brothers, no friends, only a single concubine.

This nickname wasn't given to him by others, but given to him by himself. From this, it could be seen just how shameless this person was.

After he dismissed the spies under him, Gong Cheng's gaze landed on the special envoy Molière. He opened his mouth and spoke a few skillful English, mixed with quite a few French words.

"His Excellency the Special Envoy, according to your previous agreement, this is a British cannonball and bullet. I took the initiative to add some food and wine to it. "However, I must remind you that based on your fighting style, I'm afraid that the weapons on this ship will only be enough for you to use for a week …"

Gong Banlun raised his wine cup, took a long sip, and said with a cold smile, "Oh His Excellency the Special Envoy, how much money do you have on you? How many ships could he buy? "I'm just afraid that you'll run out of food if Ryukyu doesn't manage to fight his in the end …"

The corner of Molière's eyes twitched. "I believe in the fighting strength of us French soldiers, I believe that victory belongs to us after all …"

"Hahaha …" Combat strength? I'll tell you the truth, the reason I asked the spies to cause this revolt is to test out the fighting spirit of the Liuzhu Military and Civilians … "From the looks of it, he is in no way inferior to you Frenchmen …"

"To put it crudely, if you keep fighting like this, you won't be able to last for another three months!"

"Let me remind you one last time, the lives of the French soldiers are way too valuable, if we were to die too much in battle, let the newspapers in your country spread the news, I'm afraid the wave of protest will cause your Emperor to be unable to sleep!"
