C529 Overturned Wind Changer

"Ah?" Large... My Lord, that Wind Changer is a civilian ship, there are still foreign pirate ship chasing after them, shouldn't we start firing at them? "Did you say something wrong …"

The troops guarding the turret could not believe their ears. They had never heard that their turret did not protect their own family and instead helped foreign devils?

"Shut up! Is that Frenchman something you can fire at? A pirate is a pirate, you say? Did you cause a diplomatic dispute and leave me in the lurch? Who will be in charge? "

"Since that Wind Changer belongs to the Letian Firm, then it must be Xiao Letian's property. The emperor and the empress dowager ordered that Xiao Letian be eradicated today … With so many questions, have you already surrendered to the enemy? "

The only sound that could be heard was the sound of a large blade being drawn from its scabbard. Maylor's trusted aides held onto their shiny long sabers and held them against the talkative gunner's neck as they spoke fiercely.

"Go..." Hurry up and fire your cannons, otherwise, you will be betraying your enemies and your father will immediately behead you! "

"Master, please calm down. I will fire the cannon right now, I will fire the cannon right away …" "I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you …"

"Ai …" "That's right, as long as you're obedient. Someone come, we'll count them in as many as we can. We'll first note down the thirty silver taels as reward …"

The battles in the late Qing were always like this. As long as one entered a state of war, in order to obtain the silver that they needed to measure, any military order would have to follow the silver.

The messenger sent a message and ran back and forth for more than a hundred miles. Rangers picked one hundred people. This was a job which required one to lose one's head, and they had to be rewarded with money as well. Even if the coachman traveled at night and travelled several hundred miles to help, you would still need to have a few taels of silver in your heart. Otherwise, no one would be willing to work for you.

There are two types of silver, one is the reward of silver, the other is the white and flowery silver coin that is used directly into your arms, normally the reward is something that requires someone to work hard for, such as a charge, a white blade fight, this kind of money must be paid in real time.

There was also another form of reward, which was to call it a reward. As soon as an officer mentioned it, there would be people who could read it in their books. This kind of money could only be paid after the war ended.

Moreover, this kind of bounty was extremely practical. In the later stages of the game, there were some who did not accept the bounty, some were discounted, and some even sold the silver for a price. Everything was like doing business.

When the garrison troops heard that this was a reward, their mood immediately lightened. If they won this fight, they might even receive a bit of the reward. If they lost this fight, they wouldn't f * cking admit their loss.

Everyone started to operate their cannons back to back, looking at each other as if they knew what it was like to look at each other. There was a scale in everyone's hearts, since the establishment of the Special Zone, whether it was good or bad, everyone clearly knew it.

Not only that, from the moment Letian Firm and Torture Chamber was established, the garrison troops and local officials around Tanggu had already been bought off by a large number. Torture Chamber had developed a large number of loyal and detailed spies, it could be said that everything that had happened in the northern part of Qing Dynasty was not hidden from Xiao Letian's eyes.

had never hesitated when it came to spending money. Even some of the brothers who owned the Seven Calamities and Eight Calamities, would have a few thoughts in their hearts. He then looked at the group of idiots behind him. All of them pretended to be big tailed wolves, but in the end, they either beat him or gave him rewards. There wasn't any dry goods at all.

No wonder everyone said in private that it was only one person following the Prime Minister Xiao, and only one dog slave following the Great Qing.

"..." Emission Kit Two... Load Lead Bullets... Why didn't you clean the cannon? Trash, then repeat... Clean chamber first... "Fitting the launch kit..."

The trusted aide that Maylor sent was not an idiot. The back of the talkative gunner was completely ripped apart.

"Hiss …" Aiya, how can you hit someone … How are you going to hit me! "

"Little brat, do you think I don't understand? This is what you call a die-hitter... "If you don't open fire within the time it takes to take a pack of cigarettes, I'll behead you …"

"Oh my god. This shore defense cannon is very complicated and has not been used for six years. Who knows if it will be dangerous …" Hey hey hey! "Stop fighting, I'll fire the cannon right now and …"

The gunner looked at the Wind Changer getting closer and closer to the sea. Seeing that Red was rubbing her eyes and pretended to enter the sand, he thought to himself, "Brother, I'm sorry, but I have to live too! "Fire …"

Boom! Boom! Boom! There was a clap of thunder from the three shore defense cannons, the ones that had not been fired for six years. This time, instead of firing at the enemy, they were firing at their own people.

The people that Maylor had sent did not understand how powerful the shore defense cannons were. They thought that they were weaker than the red-clothed Great General of the Firearm Battalion in the capital, but they did not open their mouths or block their ears.

As for the guards of the Da Gu Kou, it was too late to hate them. These three explosions deafened the arrogant military officer.

"Ah …" Ah … "Ahh!" The military officer who was shocked silly dropped his knife to the ground. He didn't even know where the horsewhip was thrown. All he knew was that his mouth was opened foolishly as he screamed.

At this time, Niu Duofu, who was in the ocean, was also stunned by the sudden sound of the cannons, "What's going on? Why did the Da Gu Kou open fire on us? "The enemy is behind us …"

With an explosive boom, water splashed out all over his body. The troops guarding the cannon emplacement had a conscience after all. The three cannons had deliberately missed their target.

"Quick, quick, quick..." "Hurry up, just shoot out of the muzzle of the turret and you'll be fine, a little faster …" People were clamoring on the pier of the Special Administrative Region. Even the foreign engineers were panicking. Countless black craftsmen waved their hats in the air, sweating profusely.

"Wind Changer... Accelerate... Wind Changer … "Speed up …" In the end, there was only this one sentence left on the wharf. Everyone's emotions were stirred up by the battleship on the sea.

The Da Gu Kou's cannon emplacements continued to open fire unceasingly, starting from three, slowly changing to four, five, ten … Even if those defending troops were deliberately letting them go, with the increase in the number of cannons and the shortening of the distance, the Wind Changer were already becoming more and more dangerous.

Karl and Molde, the two captains of the French Army, were currently standing at the bow of the ship, grinning from ear to ear. Hahaha, this group of Chinese are killing themselves! This stupid people... "Hahahaha!"

"Young lads, get ready for battle. Even if we can't catch this cunning sailboat, we can blow him up and bury him in the dock … The Chinese are really a great people, and the most prosperous of them is the great traitor! "

The two frigate cheered, following that, two flag pirates rose up slowly, they revealed their true identities to the entire Tanggu.

The Wind Changer pierced through the ocean waves and sped towards the dock. The water columns created by the explosion on both sides of the ship were three to four stories tall.

They could not understand why the Da Gu Kou's cannon would open fire on them. Even if this ship was the property of the Letian Firm, even if they were the personal army of the Prime Minister, they were all Chinese. How could a yellow skinned, black eyed Chinese help a tyrant beat up his own people?

A sense of grief and indignation filled the hearts of the people, but now was not the time to condemn them. The pier was already within reach, and people could even see a few small cannons on the pier readjusting their cannons, preparing to fire.

Seeing their cannons, the sailors felt warm inside. The soldiers on the wharf and even the workers had already started distributing their weapons. People just waited for the Wind Changer to enter the port and then beat up the foreign devils.

The five hundred Wind Changer were now only five hundred meters away from the dock. If they advanced a little more, they would be able to escape the range of the Da Gu Kou's cannon.

Right when the Wind Changer was about to enter the safe waters, the Da Gu Kou's last round of cannons finally had some success.

Amidst the sounds of gunfire, a solid lead ball was shot at a tricky angle into the Wind Changer s. With a boom, a huge hole was blasted out, and the entire ship started to pour down.

"No …" Everyone on the dock cried out in alarm, they watched as the waves surged into the boat, and very quickly, the Wind Changer's body started to tip towards the left.

Niu Duofu was so angry that tears flowed out of his eyes, he had even seen the Spirit Mountain at the very last moment, how could he still fail to accomplish anything?

Just as he smashed the deck with his fists, the sailors on the deck suddenly cried out in alarm, "Captain, look …" Following the direction of his finger, Niu Duofu spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Prime minister, I've let you down …" After saying that, he took out his gun and pointed it at his temple. The surrounding sailors rushed over like crazy, snatching the gun to firmly control the captain.

"If you let me go, I won't be able to live any longer. This money is for major purposes like what the Prime Minister has said. I'm committing a crime here!"

The Wind Changer s were right at that large hole. The cannonballs not only smashed apart the boat, but also smashed into the Silver Mountain in the cargo bay. The Silver Mountain was now pouring into the sea, piece by piece fixed in place by iron wire.

Moreover, these were all newly forged silver ingots from Mexico. They did not have the slightest reaction to oxidation, but the silver ingots from Great Qing were much more beautiful, and people could clearly see the eagle symbol on them.

"F * ck!" Xiao Letian is so damn rich … " On the Da Gu Kou's cannon emplacement, the Purging Demons officer loosened his binoculars and dropped them onto the ground, smashing them into smithereens.

Black Eyed Eye saw the shining white silver, everyone was stunned when they saw such a spectacular scene. The Wind Changer had a total of 60,000 pieces of silver ingots, even if each piece was only 50 taels of silver, the ship's wealth was already 3 million taels of silver.

At that moment, the Tanggu Pier was illuminated by the silver light, and after the war, the name of the place was changed to Silver Bay.

"No one stop me …" "I'm going to get some money …" Purging Demons, who had lost his mind, had even forgotten that he was on top of the cannon emplacement. He immediately rushed forward and rolled down like a dog eating mud.
