C3853

The movement had occupied Nanjing in 1853, and from now on his expansion had slowed down. The English and French had also secretly negotiated with Nanjing in hopes of establishing a cooperative relationship with the new and emerging regime.

But who would have thought that Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's exclusion was worse than their Manchu's. They closed the door to cooperation and expanded towards the Shanghai, gradually threatening the safety of the Shanghai Concession.

Shanghai's Betrayal Organization established a loyal team formed by European and Chinese!

This completely western armed force had engaged in a prolonged battle with the Little Saber Association and the vanguard of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Americans Hua Er was this civilian armed Commanders!

In the initial battle to protect the Shanghai Concession, the Gun Team of Hua Er was not at an advantage at all. At that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's forces were at their peak, and Little Blade's attacks were ferocious, so Hua Er could only retreat step by step.

When the war was at its most critical moment, the Qingpu and Jiading regions of the Shanghai were all taken over by the Taiping Army!

He knew that the channel light could not rely on its courage to organize itself to fight against the Taiping Army. In order to reverse the situation, he asked the British and French combined forces for help, and the two sides agreed immediately. The English and French did not have enough manpower, but the Navy began to give Hua Er a large amount of support.

Not only did they provide Fleet's firepower support, they had even pulled out of Sailor's lander to work together with them. As for the weapons and equipment, they were even given priority to the Gun Team in War!

It was with the support of the British and French combined forces that the strength of the Gun Team of Hua Er increased. In 1861, her military strength increased to 2000 people. By 1862, her military strength exceeded 5000 people.

The powerful Gun Team finally blocked the attack of the Taiping Army, and the Qing Government had no choice but to pay attention to this army. In 1862, the court gave the name Chang Sheng Jun, and officially joined the army of Qing Dynasty.

It was also in 1862 that Ge Deng was sent to the Shanghai, where he officially became a professional officer of the UK and joined the ranks of the Chang Sheng Jun.

Of course, at that time, his command was ranked behind Americans Hua Er and Bai Qiwen, and he belonged to the third Commanders!

But just as he arrived at the Shanghai to enter the Chang Sheng Jun, an important battle that changed his entire life had occurred!

In the spring of 1862, the loyal king of the Taiping Army, Li Xiucheng, led 30,000 elites and under the cooperation of the Small Saber Association, they advanced towards the Shanghai and garrisoned their troops in White Dragon Pool!

After Li Xiu Cheng arrived at the Shanghai, he started to build the turret, set up a camp, and prepare for his army!

At that time, the official name of the Shanghai Road was Songjiang Prefecture City, and this was where the yamen was located.

Li Xiucheng gradually constructed a huge encirclement around the Songjiang Prefecture, ready to attack it in the summer. Just the ladders itself, he had built over a thousand of them!

At that time, the situation in the Shanghai changed three times every day. As long as the people in the city didn't have no other choice, all of the foreign citizens who rented the place boarded the boat and fled.

It was at this moment of crisis that Ge Deng started the counter-siege operation on Li Xiu Cheng!

Under his suggestion, the Chang Sheng Jun continued to harass the Taiping Army, delaying their besieging operation. In addition, they hardened their hearts and burned down the flower in the Outside the city's vegetable garden until all the houses in the vicinity were burnt to ashes, using the ruins to obstruct the Taiping Army's attack!

Hua Er, Bai Qiwen and Ge Deng had indeed turned the tide at that time, and had done their best to disrupt Loyalty King Li Xiu Cheng's strategy. Even until June, Li Xiu Cheng had not finished his preparations to attack the city!

The Chang Sheng Jun's harassment and destruction strategy had been a huge success!

Afterwards, it was simply God's aid to the Shanghai. The famous Thirteen Kings of history had come to Tianjing in this year, and among the Thirteen Kings, there was one that was loyal, King Li Xiucheng!

It turned out that Ceng Guofan's army had already neared the Sky Capital City, and the vanguard was the famous Nine Commanders Ceng Guoju!

Ceng Guoquan's army had already approached the Nanjing Rain Flower Terrace. The Heavenly Capital City was shaken as Hong Xiuquan ordered his loyal king, Li Xiucheng, to return and help Tianjing!

Unable to withstand the pressure, Li Xiucheng had no choice but to abandon the Shanghai and bring his elites to retreat!

When the news arrived, the entire Songjiang Prefecture was reassured, and the whole realm was filled with cheers and jubilation … But just as Ge Deng let out a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened!

In late June, Taiping Army took the initiative to leave, but Chang Sheng Jun's Hua Er and Bai Qiwen had other intentions!

As soon as the Taiping Army left, the Chang Sheng Jun began to plunder with the excuse that she was short of money.

The first was to extort grain s from the rice shop, and then the entire city's Merchant s. This was not enough, in the end, they even took over the treasury, and looted all of the court's official's silver!

In the whole matter of the tolling, Chang Sheng Jun had robbed a total of three hundred and fifty thousand taels of Silver, Ge Deng was completely dumbfounded!

Although he was an absolute soldier of colonialism, and his hands and feet were not clean in the colony, but he had never committed such blatant robbery like this on the government!

After this incident, all five thousand Chang Sheng Jun s received thirty silvers, which amounted to one hundred and fifty thousand!

The other middle ranking Official s took away fifty thousand gold!

Then, he used fifty thousand gold to repay a portion of the loan to the foreign merchants. In the end, Hua Er, Bai Qiwen and Ge Deng divided the loan to a total of one hundred thousand silver!

Hua Er and Ge Deng will get forty thousand each, and then Bai Qiwen will get thirty thousand each!

This was the first time in Ge Deng's life that he made such a large sum of money.

Ge Deng was not a proper gentleman, he did not have much of a burden towards the matter of robbing the colony, he just felt that directly stealing the government was a little too unsightly to eat!

No matter what, he was a graduate of the King of England!

But in the end, Hua Er and Bai Qiwen were just local ruffians in the USA!

But no matter how much he struggled, he still took the silver and transferred it to his account in London.

Hua Er and Bai Qiwen were very smart, they had already become a China!

These people understood how to interact with the China and the people!

First of all, they looted without harming anyone, they robbed with money, but they would never touch a woman!

This suppressed the situation, because in the society at that time, it was like a flood had passed, and the old people had already adapted to the Army's robbery.

As long as you don't hurt others and kill them, and don't insult Women, aren't you just a silver? Just treat it as paying an extra tax. As long as you don't take away my capital, I will endure!

Even the government's treasury had been robbed, the local officials had plenty of ways to find the old people and extort everything there was left to make up for!

In the end, this robbery was tantamount to collecting an extra 350 thousand taels of Silver from the Shanghai s!

It was just this set, the Chang Sheng Jun played it too well, in the later stages of the counterattack, every place Chang Sheng Jun attacked would be looted without restraint!

Ge Deng was not used to it in the beginning, but he began to gradually enjoy it in the end!

Waltz died in battle at the end of 1862, and from then on, the sharing of treasures in the Chang Sheng Jun became the private matter of Ge Deng and Bai Qiwen!

How could Ge Deng and Ge Deng have such a deep friendship?

That was a robbery, a relationship that was stolen!
