Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

They all said that money was a bastard, but without money, it was really hard to deal with. Since one of Zhang Juzheng's whipping laws in the Ming Dynasty, silver had officially become a living force in the currency circulation, and the silver standard continued until the Republic of China.

The hundreds of years of silver standard history made the Chinese people's silver culture very popular. The silver and silver light became one of the most touching methods, and the display of today's silver ingot rain shocked everyone on Tanggu's docks.

Large chunks of silver ingots clanged against each other, producing a melodious sound. The white silver ingots fell into the sea in exchange for waves of pity, even causing the French bandits to be dumbstruck.

"Oh God! We've been chasing it for so long, and it turns out to be a treasure ship? Isn't that the Spanish treasure galleon? "To rob such a precious ship, we can all retire and return home …"

"God loves us... We can all be gentlemen of Paris, we can finally squeeze into the best society... "Rush forward and snatch the boat …"

Just as the French battleship was celebrating, the two field cannons on the pier finally opened fire. The blooming cannonballs flew past the Wind Changer and exploded into balls of water on the bow of the French battleship.

"Stop them! Even if I give my silver taels to the Dragon King, I won't give any of them a dime …" Liu Lang and Tie Toutuo screamed crazily.

"Abandoned ship …" Forget about the silver... The Prime Minister cared about people, not money … "Quickly abandon the ship and jump into the sea …"

Hearing the shouts on the shore, and seeing the silver flowing into the sea, Niu Duofu felt a sweet sensation in his throat, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. "Everyone, listen up. Don't worry about Silver. Let's abandon the ship and swim over there …"

The Wind Changer was only about 400 meters away from the dock, which was not much of a distance for these sailors, but they could not bear to part with it. This was 3 million taels of silver ingot, no matter how rich the Prime Minister was!

"Scram..." All of you, scram! "This is a command …" Captain Niu roared and kicked a soldier into the sea. "Those who die for money are cowards!" Keep your useful bodies, and killing all the evil spirits in this world will be the true meaning of your lives … "All of you, scram!"

Niu Duofu scolded the soldiers on the deck awake. Only then did the people struggle to resist, they turned around and swam towards the ocean.

"Captain, why aren't you leaving?" Some sailors found something amiss.

"You guys leave first. The captain should be the last one to leave during the shipwreck. This is the rule of the sea …" "You guys can go, I'll be the last one to abandon ship …"

As he shouted, the interior of the cabin suddenly released a loud creaking sound. Niu Duofu knew that the cabin was already tilting at a 30 degree angle, the steel wire and steel wire used to hold the silver ingots in the cabin were no longer able to hold it up, and even more silver heaps had ruptured, causing the rain of silver ingots to become even more violent.

The Wind Changer had now become a treasured vessel in every sense of the word. The huge hole in the Left side was like a precious pot poured by the God of Fortune, pouring silver ingots down like a waterfall. The three million taels of silver light illuminated the entire bay.

No one knew when the Da Gu Kou Cannon would cease fire, but the cries from both the north and south sides of the mouth of the sea continued to grow louder and louder. Xiao Letian's Special Zone. All of his actions, including the glory of his expedition to Europa, did not leave a deep impression on anyone at this moment.

The treasure was a sight to behold. So much money was poured into the sea like water. This was a sight he had never seen before in his entire life. As for you, Xiao Letian, being the hero of Europa, and forcing back France … What does it have to do with me?

Look, humans are so pragmatic. They do not remember food and they do not know how to fight. Only benefits and money are the most primitive desires in their hearts.

He had already given up all hope. The sound of the steel cables breaking just now could only prove that all the silver ingots in the cabin had been shattered.

According to his previous idea, even if this ship sank, the silver ingots tied up at the bottom of the cabin were still very easy to salvage. But now, all the steel cables were broken and the silver ingots fell into the mud at the bottom of the sea.

Seeing the figures of the people jumping into the sea one by one on the deck, looking at his brothers swimming in the sea and the countless people rushing down from the distant wharf to help them, Niu Duofu finally felt at ease. He looked at the wharf of the Special Zone with extreme yearning, and knew that he had to give the Prime Minister an explanation.

"Farewell …" Niu Duofu hardened his heart and closed his eyes as he turned to walk back into the cabin. Even if she died, she would die in the captain's quarters.

At this time, the sea was full of splashes. The Wind Changer's sailors were desperately heading towards the upstream of the dock, while the workers on the dock splashed and jumped to help them. The two groups of people were now together.

"We're home, we're home, hang on a little longer, God bless you …"

Blonde white engineers threw off their suits and plunged into the sea, using their bodies to protect the heroes across the Pacific Ocean. Not to mention, not to mention the soldiers of the new army and the good people of the district, they would not just stand by and watch as they died.

The pier of the Industrial Zones was in a mess, the sea surface was filled with the sound of splashing water, the people on the shore who did not know water were cheering for their lives, two field gun s that had been moved here temporarily were unceasingly shooting at the sailors who had escaped from the sea. All sorts of voices gathered together and shot up into the sky.

Amidst the chaos, there was a mournful cry that shook heaven and earth. "Brother …" You've been made a fool of... "Come back …" Everyone turned their heads to look, and in the end, they saw the famous Tanggu on top of a pile of wooden boxes.

The Keeper Niu was famous for Niu Jinfu, and Niu Duofu was his biological uncle's brother. The two of them grew up naked, and as brothers, they understood each other's temper too well.

"Please save my brother, how lucky is it …" He was a stubborn person, and he had a really bad temper... He lost so much silver from the Prime Minister, he must have no wish to live anymore … I beg you to save him, please save him … "

When he had finished, the ox man thudded his head against the plank, and the group of runaways on the surface of the sea realized that their captain had not abandoned the ship, that he was not on the sea, that he was not on the deck.

"F * ck …" "Brothers, let's go back and save the captain …" The forty odd sailors at the back turned around and started to swim back. However, the Wind Changer was already half submerged in the sea water.

"Captain, you're so stubborn... Even if you are guilty of dereliction of duty, you still have to live to atone for it? How can you choose to be martyred with a ship? "He's got a bad temper and a stubborn heart …"

The sailors were crying as they went on a tour on the Wind Changer. A group of people kicked open the Captain's Room's wooden door. The brothers are waiting for you. Why don't you go? Are you going to ruin everyone's heart... "Get him up for me..."

A group of sailors rushed forward and grabbed Niu Duofu by the arms and legs, and dragged him out, but this stubborn guy continued to cry non-stop, "The boat is still here, and the ship is dead and the people are dead …" If you let me die, then I'll be able to intimidate the later generations … This ship is my responsibility, I'm guilty … "

Someone in the future said that Xiao Letian's subordinates only had a few stubborn eyes, and the reason for his success was also because of this group of stubborn eyes.

Guotou Village, who had risked his life, was stubborn. The Death Soldiers who had ambushed the French positions at night were stubborn, and the army officials who had followed Xiao Letian, who were planning to join the civil war in Europe with the three hundred weak troops, were even more stubborn.

However, no one could deny that it was this group of stubborn sacrifice and dedication that had pushed Xiao Letian to the peak of his career and also pushed the great cause of the national revival of East Asia to a successful outcome.

Dozens of sailors were surrounding the captain as they swam towards the shore. Behind them were tall Wind Changer s that were slowly descending, letting out bubbling sounds as if the sea had already been boiled.

The silver light had already disappeared in the azure colored sea water, and the brain, which had been blinded by wealth, regained its senses. The Purging Demons s on the cannons of the Da Gu Kou finally regained their clarity of mind after shaking their heads.

"F * ck …" Are you all blind? If he didn't seize this opportunity to fire … Shoot into the sea, blow those sailors to death... "Quick, are you waiting for your grandpa's whip?"

Many of Maylor's trusted aides were the Eight Banner Elders and soldiers, they were already used to dominating the Beijing, hence they scolded nonstop. The whips in their hands shook, and they looked at the troops guarding the cannon emplacement as if they were animals.

"My lord!" Those garrison soldiers, whose faces were covered in black smoke, pointed at the sailors that had escaped from the sea and shouted, "My lord, those are all civilian sailors. We've bombed the sunken ship, why are we still killing people?"

Pa! A crisp sound rang out. "How are you going to talk to me with your eyes wide open?" A commoner who is not worth a donkey's money... "If I tell you to fire, then fire! I'll beat you to death …"

The gunner raised his arm and dodged to the left and right, "How do we hit people?" "How can you hit someone …"

"You are the one I beat up, you bastard. If I was there to kill you, I would have killed you for nothing …" "I made you disobey the military order, made you argue with me …"

The officer of the eight flags actually wanted to vent his anger. He felt so much money falling into the sea in vain that his heart trembled. Now, this annoying soldier still dared to question his decision. See if I'll beat you to death.

It had already been more than two hundred years since the Qing Dynasty entered the. Although the rule of the Manchu was constantly challenged by rebels, and even caused trouble in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in the northern part of China, the rule of the Manchu was still as strong as an iron bucket.

Therefore, the officer of the eight flags did not care about anything else. The whip moved so quickly and viciously, looking for his face and neck and slashing down with it.

The army guarding the Da Gu Kou's cannon emplacement had long been affected by Xiao Letian's thoughts, even Xiao Letian himself could not tell how many spies there were in the torture chamber.

Such atrocities could not be endured at first, but now, a small soldier who looked like he was only 18 or 19 suddenly jumped up and rushed over crazily, "Put down your whip!" "I'm a human, not your animal …"
