Chapter 327 Rights

In the Governor General's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi in Guangzhou, the newly appointed Governor General Changlin had a difficult life because he had thought that those British people were not good birds. Now, the British people were dissatisfied with their conditions because the court rejected them. Now, the colonial fleets and troops were dispatched, and they were about to go to the mainland to ask for an explanation, which has been widely circulated on the ground of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Changlin is very tall and burly, and has a very majestic appearance. However, now, I feel that the extraordinary governor of Guangdong and Guangxi looks a little frustrated at this moment, like a silver carp that has just been put on the river beach. His mouth opens and closes, his eyes are wide open, but it is difficult to make a sound.

What made him look so ugly was Pan Youdu, the Thirteenth Party General Manager, and Liang Pengfei, the general general of Humen Town. At this moment, the husband and son-in-law were standing respectfully in the hall, showing a modest attitude of observing the training. He turned a blind eye to Changlin's appearance.

"This is really a letter of war declared by the British ambassador." Changlin read it twice again, and even reached out to rub his eyes to make sure that he had read the contents of the ultimatum. It was written in three words: English, French and Chinese. Of course, it was written by Macartney, the ambassador of the British Empire.

Although the whole letter seemed very polite, the threat in the poem was as sharp as a knife, requiring the court to agree to the conditions submitted in the letters they mentioned within a month.

The Qing Dynasty also asked the Qing court to hand over the murderers who killed Plaant, Ham, senior employee of the British Empire East India Company, as well as nearly 200 innocent British sailors, as well as the murderers who killed Sharka, the British Empire maritime merchant and 258 innocent British sailors, to the British.

The British court shall use British law to judge. It is also required that from now on, if the British commit crimes within the Qing Dynasty, they must also be handed over to the British for trial.

Perhaps it was the British who were concerned about it, or they were worried about completely angering the empire. Moreover, they were still a little confused about the depth of the empire, so they had many improper requests, and they were a little embarrassed to raise it. This made Liang Pengfei, a time traveler who had seen the greed and shameless British man in later generations, secretly curious in his heart, why did these arrogant guys become so humble?

Of course, no matter how arrogant or exaggerated the conditions proposed by the British, Liang Pengfei, who has been secretly arranged, has the conditions and ability to tear all the conditions into pieces, melt them, and then mix them with spicy ingredients such as chili peppers, peppers, mustard, and stuff them all back into the assholes of these British.

"It's not a declaration of war, it's an ultimatum. If we don't make a satisfactory reply within a month, then they will use force." Pan Youdu reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead. It's so unlucky. It's so bad that he's a stern businessman, who is responsible for dealing with Westerners. All the documents need to be passed on through his hands.

Now, I actually handed over such a final copy full of arrogant words, but it wouldn't work if I didn't hand it over. If the British rushed up one day, and his beloved son-in-law Liang Pengfei had clearly told him that the British had sent a large number of warships and troops to Manila, and they were really playing.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant Pan Youdu was, he had to deliver it again. The only relief was that Liang Pengfei, the son-in-law who loved him, was still righteous and came with him. At least, it would be good to share the anger of the governor. Although Pan Youdu already knew his son-in-law's strength, when facing the court officials, the long-term oppression still made him feel a little weak.

"These... these barbarians who have no faith and blood-drinking Mao Ru dare to coerce me to the heavenly dynasty! It's really annoying, hateful! Are they not afraid that the power of heaven will make a corpse thousands of miles away? Such barbarians ￥%...#@##%" Changlin angrily threw the ultimatum on the ground, stamping his feet and scolding him loudly.

Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes and took up the ultimatum, and saw the helpless expression and look of his father-in-law.

"General Liang, what military information do you have?" Changlin, who cursed for a long time, had white foam hanging on the corner of his mouth and still had no regrets, noticed that there were still people present. He cleared his throat and said majestic and majestic beards that were shaking a little chaotic.

"Report to the Governor, the General of the Mo Yuan received a report from the Maritime Merchant. Dozens of giant British warships appeared in the Port of Manila, Luzon, with more than 10,000 troops, and seemed to be intending to go north. Although the General of the General of the People dare not completely determine this information, it is related to the peace of the country's maritime border, so the General of the Mo Yuan rushed to report to the Governor. Unexpectedly, he actually met General of the General of the People. I think that the British were not saying such vain words." Liang Pengfei reached out and put the ultimatum back on the table, clasped his fists to Changlin as a polite speech.

"You mean dozens of giant British warships..." Changlin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, suddenly found himself very crows. Yes, he wanted to slap himself in one's ears and say whatever he said. Now, it was dozens of giant British warships. When he thought of the third-level battleship of the "Lion" he had seen, Changlin felt that the blood vessels on his forehead were roaring. "Have you heard it wrong? General Liang, for major military and national affairs, you must not report it."

"Sir, you will be more than 90% sure you can predict it. This matter is probably true." Liang Pengfei frowned and thought deeply before making a calculation.

Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Changlin felt his head hurt even more: "Then it's 10% more."

"This..." Liang Pengfei asked speechlessly. Although Pan Youdu next to him kept a serious face, he almost laughed out loud. After Liang Pengfei turned his eyes a few times, he finally analyzed the reason why the British did not attack.

"Unless you encounter an enemy stronger than the British attacks them, or encounter an unprecedented typhoon or tsunami, these British people who have driven the warships to our Qing Dynasty and the South China Sea may stop."

Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Changlin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, sat on the chair with a heavy weight, stroking his beard for a long time: "Come here, hurry up and invite the general of Guangzhou, the admiral of the water and land, and the governor of Guangdong to discuss matters..."

That night, an emergency document of 800 miles was delivered to the north through the station system as quickly as possible. The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi also issued a serious warning to the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang at the same time. A large number of British warships in the South China Sea were likely to launch an attack on the Celestial Empire.

However, the warning of the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi Changlin, Wu Lana, the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang, was a little unwilling to care about the affairs of the South China Sea. He knew that there were many Western colonists in the South China Sea and often fought. You pinch me today and I will pinch you tomorrow.

However, at least my colleagues reminded me that I would not act like a move, and it would be hard to explain if something really happened. So Wulana issued an order to ask the Fujian-Zhejiang Navy to strengthen patrol and guard at sea, and continued to work hard to carry out his great cause of scraping the land.

It is precisely because Changlin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who knows nothing about military affairs, asked the navy to formulate an offensive plan.

However, when Changlin made this request, Wang Shouli and his generals no longer cared about the superiors and inferiors, and they all jumped up and opposed the attack unanimously. First of all, their family knew their own affairs, and the warships of the Guangdong Navy were not really the food of the other giant ship.

Moreover, except for Liang Pengfei, who seemed to be super clerk, the generals of the other three towns had empty salary. The most serious one was Qiongzhou Town, with a vacancies of a quarter. Since the battle with the Hongqi Gang, the Guangdong Navy has suffered a lot of damage. However, some promoted generals would naturally not miss this excellent opportunity to get empty salary. Anyway, the superiors gave him enough money to at least recruit many soldiers. The list was in the hands of the generals of these towns. They reported as much as they owned. Some generals even sold the warships privately and then broke into the reefs and reimbursed. This situation is not uncommon.

Wang Shouli knew very well, and Liang Pengfei knew very well. Sometimes Wang Shouli even complained about those guys when he even drank with Liang Pengfei and bragged and spanked his brothers. However, all he could do was that. You know, some generals were not necessarily softer in the backstage than Wang Shouli, and Wang Shouli was originally a general on land and knew nothing about water wars. As the admiral, many people from Guangdong Navy secretly complained.

Therefore, Wang Shouli could only make compromises, but now at the critical moment when the enemy is invading, Wang Shouli will naturally not complain about the Guangdong Navy. This Navy is his responsibility. In other words, it is equivalent to slapping himself. No matter how stupid Wang Shouli is, he will not do this.

Besides, none of the navy generals were willing to die, and everyone was still waiting to continue to earn an empty salary next year. The generals had no intention of fighting and had no combat power. Not to mention the British fleet, even if they encountered pirates, the Guangdong navy could only retreat with equal strength.

The combat effectiveness of the British fleet is at least a little stronger than that of the pirates. Moreover, the opponent's ships are strong and powerful. The cannon volley on one side of the third-level battleship is enough to turn the large-scale ships, the largest main battleship of the Guangdong Navy, into a pile of broken wooden boards.

If a soldier is not a soldier, a general is not a general. Our warships and artillery are more than one level away from our opponents. If you rush out of the estuary of the Pearl River to fight, it is equivalent to killing you for nothing. This is absolutely not possible! We have the right to survive and the right to continue to earn a salary! This has become a unanimous belief among the Guangdong navy.
