Guangzhou City, the Governor-General’s Palace of the Qing Dynasty!
"What did you say? Governor Zhang Duoshan died for his country before he could hold on for even half a day?"
"Lord Governor, run quickly, the enemy is coming. Most of the 20,000 Green Camp soldiers have been killed or injured, and there are no soldiers left in Guangzhou!"
Gao Bin's eyes were red: "This is impossible, organize a defense for me. Guangzhou Cang is indestructible."
Li Shiyao and Gao Bin did not believe in evil, so they quickly asked the soldiers on the city wall to continue to defend.
Li Shiyao and Gao Bin were waiting in strict formation, but hundreds of soldiers were advancing towards Guangzhou unhurriedly.
Arriving in Guangzhou, Chen Nian shook his head slightly when he saw the people on the city wall.
"Can we attack it?" Chen Mu, who was following three hundred soldiers, asked.
Chen Nian confidently smiled and said: "Please rest assured, sir, Guangzhou is a weak point. We can easily conquer it without spending a single soldier."
If it were half a year ago, Chen Nian would definitely not have such wild talk.
But this time and that time!
After Chen Nian took refuge in the Dragon Kingdom, he received several months of training, and his thoughts had completely changed.
He is already a qualified military commander.
Chen Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just watch your battle."
After he finished speaking, he pulled up a small bench, found a place to sit down, and then took out his camera to record the video!
These are all witnesses of history.
Chen Nian saluted respectfully and then arranged for the troops to move.
A platoon of artillerymen came out carrying small steel cannons.
Six small steel cannons are 800 meters away, and their positions have been calibrated!
Li Guangnian, the garrison general on the city wall, held up his telescope and could only watch Chen Nian setting up the offensive formation.
Because their guns and artillery can't hit each other at all.
Several artillerymen aimed at the city wall by visual inspection.
"Report, the artillery platoon has been calibrated!"
Chen Nian picked up the loudspeaker that Chen Mu often used: "Guardians of Guangzhou City, we are soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom. We are here just for free navigation and trade. We need to see the governor..."
Boom~
Several shells landed near Chen.
Looking at the position of the solid cannonball, Chen Nian sighed: "Let's attack!"
"Six-shot rapid-fire artillery, fire!"
Rumble!
Six 50mm caliber mortars blasted the city wall of Guangzhou head-on.
Coming from modern weapons, it was completely crushing against the city walls of the Qing Dynasty.
With the continuous bombardment of dozens of mortar shells, the Green Battalion soldiers defending the city of Guangzhou were instantly routed!
Guangzhou's garrison general Li Guangnian was blown away in the first wave of attacks.
After dozens of continuous rounds of extended artillery bombardment, the defending Qing troops were instantly reduced to birds and beasts.
"First Company, prepare to attack."
More than a hundred people rushed towards the gate of Guangzhou in skirmish formation.
Whoosh~
Two specially-made rockets penetrated the city gate tower hard.
Boom~
With a violent explosion, the city gate of Guangzhou was broken.
Then the troops occupied the high ground: "Surrender without killing!"
The loudspeaker continued to sound: "We are soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom. We should stay away from idlers. We will not kill people or plunder places..."
Seeing Chen Nian leading three hundred soldiers into the city successfully, he yawned and followed suit.
When countless people in Guangzhou saw these hundreds of soldiers entering the city, they were so frightened that they hid in their homes and did not dare to come out.
A few minutes later!
Li Shiyao and Gao Bin were filled with despair when they received the news that the city gate had been breached.
Perhaps the weapons of the Dragon Kingdom army were too powerful, and the Qing Governor's Mansion had almost no defense. They quickly arrived at the Governor's Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Without encountering any resistance, they saw Gao Bin and Li Shiyao wearing official uniforms.
Seeing these two guys standing alone, Chen Nian was slightly startled: "Two adults, it's been a long time!"
Li Shiyao just looked at it coldly.
At this moment, more than ten black figures suddenly jumped out from the roof and surrounding areas.
"Kill!"
"Kill the robber!"
Just as Chen Nian was about to retreat and let the soldiers attack, he saw Chen Mu, who had been following the troops, casually take out a submachine gun. He aimed at these martial arts masters who were ambushing them.
Ding ding ding~
ah……
It actually hit steel?
Is it the indestructible power of the Vajra?
"Kill!" Several surviving martial arts masters shouted and rushed towards Chen Mu.
"court death!"
Chen Mu kicked away a martial arts master who jumped over, and took out a metal rod from his pocket.
Bang bang bang!
With three consecutive slashes, the three fish that slipped through the net fell to the ground.
"Catch them. Examine the skills they have learned."
Chen Mu curiously poked a dead martial arts master in the chest with a stick.
I felt the banging sound of metal, which was quite disappointing.
"I thought it was the magical power of indestructibility, but I didn't expect it to be a bulletproof iron plate."
Li Shiyao's temples jumped!
Gao Bin also felt like the sky was falling.
These eighteen people are famous blood-drop killers in the country.
They are masters who can block dozens of people with one person.
But these people were annihilated by terrifying firearms without even meeting them.
Are the people from the Dragon Kingdom too powerful?
Chen Mu put away his submachine gun and looked at the two men with gloomy expressions: "Two adults, we have said it many times. We deal with you on an equal footing. We cooperate with you in a fair and peaceful manner. Why are you so old?"
Are you going against us?"
Li Shiyao took a few deep breaths: "That's nonsense! You barbaric invaders like to use such high-sounding words to cover up your naked greed."
"Barbaric? Greedy? Haha, you sanctimonious hypocrites have no right to criticize us!" At this point, Chen Mu spread his hands and said sarcastically: "The people who have moved to Wanwan are very grateful for your help!"
Li Shiyao squinted his eyes slightly, secretly wondering whether there was a disaster on the other side of Wanwan!
Damn it.
Since the Qing Dynasty Navy's entire army was depleted, they have been unable to conduct reconnaissance.
The merchant ship sent to Wanwan was even controlled by these Longguo people. They were all blind.
Hearing Chen Mu say that he wanted to thank the two of them, Li Shiyao felt chills all over.
He felt as if he had done a big favor to the people of Longguo.
"What on earth are you going to do?" Gao Bin forced himself to calm down.
Chen Mu shrugged: "As we said, we can be monsters, scholars, businessmen, anyone."
Gao Bin roared: "This is impossible. Just give up on this idea."
Chen Mu slowly loaded a load of bullets into his submachine gun.
Pa da~
The muzzle of the gun was pointed at Li Shiyao and Gao Bin intentionally or unintentionally: "You mean there's nothing to talk about?"
"I'll give you another chance to organize your language. Do you want to cooperate? Or do you want to cooperate?"
The scalps of the two Qing ministers were numb, and a chill arose from their spines.
They want to cry but have no tears.
Damn the people of the Dragon Kingdom, they don't have any manners with them.
How can they make peace with such a lack of martial ethics?
Saying this in the Governor's Palace is making us betray our country!
Looking at the two ignorant Qing officials, Chen Mu smiled and put away his submachine gun.
"Two adults, I was just making a joke. You have proved your loyalty to the Qing Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Chen Mu also made a super casual apology with fists in his hands: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Li Shiyao glanced at the dozen or so imperial guards who had fallen to the ground, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, this is just a joke."
Gao Bin, who was sweating all over his back, also forced a smile at this moment: "Yes, Ambassador Long Guo has a bold and bold style, we... admire him!"
Chen Mu grinned: "We in the Dragon Kingdom are hospitable people, and we also like to use money to resolve all disputes. Since the Qing Dynasty is not going to move people to Wanwan, let's recruit a group of workers to work in the Qing Dynasty!"
"Oh, do you know what a job is? It means that we provide jobs to the Qing Dynasty and increase the GDP of the Qing Dynasty."
Chen Mu paused and continued: "We are going to build a road. A single commodity can circulate quickly, and the transportation cost will be reduced by countless roads."
"By the way, do you two adults want to get rich?" Chen Mu took out his submachine gun again and started loading bullets into the firearm.
Gao Bin and Li Shiyao looked at each other, wondering what Chen Mu was going to say!
Chen Nian coughed on the side and said: "That's right, the traffic environment in Qing Dynasty is too bad. Our king and nobles like Qing fruits, textiles, silk and tea very much. We want to expand the scale of trade."
In the past few months, Longguo has purchased a large amount of clothing, cloth, and tea.
These things really made the merchants and gentry of the Qing Dynasty a lot of money. Of course Li Shiyao and Gao Bin knew it!
Chen Mu saw the two men deep in thought and said with a smile: "We like the products of Daqing so much. In order to make the goods circulate faster, Longguo is planning to build two roads in Daqing. One road leads from Guangdong and Guangxi to the junction of Huguang.
One leads from Fuzhou, Fujian and Zhejiang to Jinling."
"The length of these two roads is about three thousand miles. We can build this road for you for free. We will pay for the labor, and you will cooperate with the labor dispatch. You can convince Yin Jishan from Fujian and Zhejiang. Can you two do it?"
Gao Bin and Li Shiyao were completely confused.
What exactly is the Dragon Kingdom going to do?
"Build pavement for free, hire their workers, just to do business?"
Spend money to build roads for them?
Are they occupying their land in the name of building roads?
But the people of the Dragon Kingdom were so strong, why not attack the capital directly and make Qianlong surrender?
Do they have this strength at all?
"You two, have I made it clear enough?"
"Ambassador Chen, we also want to build roads to allow the Qing Dynasty's goods to go out, but road construction is a major matter. We need to report it to His Majesty and let him make a decision."
Chen Mu grinned: "It's okay, let's do our thing, Qianlong, you just need to notify us. Well... you can put up the notice now."
After finishing speaking, Chen Mu asked someone to quickly bring one million silver coins over.
"No, this is the cost of our recruitment, you are responsible for it."
Gao Bin's tightly clenched fists suddenly relaxed!
Li Shiyao also hesitated.
After thinking for a while, Li Shiyao forced a smile and said: "I have no objection, but recruitment of personnel does not happen overnight!"
"Just put up the notice. You don't have to worry about anything else! The money is all for you to use. Do you still have any problems that you can't solve?" Chen Mu waved his hand indifferently.
The two looked at each other helplessly, then nodded bitterly.
At this moment, the situation is weaker than that of others. Strong cities such as Guangzhou have been easily conquered. What about Kyoto?
These people have the ability to easily destroy the Qing Dynasty!
Can they say they don't want to?
Li Shiyao and Li Shiyao haven't lived enough yet.
Anyway, if you have money to make, go for it!
And we agreed to them temporarily, and then reported the news to Emperor Qianlong. We are still loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty~
The recruitment initiative initiated by Long Guo ended just like that.
Although the process was a bit tortuous, Qing officials were still aware of current affairs.
There was no other way. Chen Mu specifically told Li Shiyao and Gao Bin that in order to ensure the smooth construction of the road, they would send a force of 2,000 people to Guangzhou Port within three days to supervise it.
Although Chen Mu assured that the mission of this unit was only to protect the industrial zone of Long Kingdom, Li Shiyao knew that this was Chi Guoguo's deterrent.
Forced by coercion and millions of silver coins, the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi had no choice but to issue a notice recruiting employees.
They said that the Qing Dynasty reached a cooperation agreement with the Long Kingdom because of poor road conditions.
The Qing Dynasty asked the Dragon Kingdom to help build a road.
As long as you work in Longguo Factory, you can earn two silver coins a month. These two silver coins are three times higher than the average salary in Guangzhou.
Therefore, when the audience heard the contents of this notice, they were moved!
