C120 A Sleepless Night
The Army s of the Shimadzu finally surrendered. After almost 12 hours of fighting, the 3000 Japan s only had a little more than 1,500 people left, and most of them were injured. As for the Navy s, other than Americans, captive, the rest of the old warships were buried amongst the sea.
When Xiao Letian saw the list of materials sent by Japanese along with Soldiers's list, he sighed in his heart that this damn war was finally over. Divide this Soldiers into ten squads, and have our guards split up to guard them. Let's f * cking work hard for them and atone for our sins before we judge them … "
"As for the residents of Japan, they will also spread out and take care of them. Just give them two porridge per day, and if they don't work, then don't give them. "You still want Wu Junbai to support you after creating such a great evil …" Before he finished, Xiao Letian leaned his head on the back of the chair and fell asleep.
The surrender of the Shimadzu declared the end of the war. The classic battle that was called the battle of independence for the glume by the future generations ended in less than 12 hours. Maybe the future generations would try their best to study the profound effects of this short conflict on the situation in the East Asia, but in that international environment, this small scale conflict was truly not worth looking at.
In the international environment at that time, Western Powers's eyes were focused on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It was a civil war in USA, and there was also the expansion of Russia's power, including the rise of Prussia. A small island nation with a population of a million had experienced Popular's collective disturbance, which had triggered the participation of thousands of Japan's primordial Army s. This kind of thing wasn't even worth a lace for the Thames.
However, to Xiao Letian, who had just started his career, the feeling of accomplishment of being fixed in his position as a Country, even if he was as small as a glume, was something that he could not even imagine in his two lifetimes.
Xiao Letian had not slept for 24 hours, from the preparation stage to the end of the second day, he was in a highly nervous state. In the struggle between blood and fire, Xiao Letian had used up almost all of his energy, he had never been this crazy before, he was even waving the Xiao character recognition flag in his dreams, and under the flag, there were thousands of people.
"Kill …" "Kill ah …" Charge... "Charge …" Xiao Letian was talking non-stop in his sleep. King Chantale quickly ordered internal service to lift the reclining chair and carry it into the harem with Xiao Letian.
Not only that, Lin Yuanmiao, who was good at flattery, also picked four young and beautiful girls from palace maid to serve Xiao Letian. Unfortunately, Xiao Letian was almost dead asleep, the four little beauties gave him Clothes s to wipe his body, but he did not have any reaction at all.
It was late in the night, but the city was still not calm. Countless Japan labourers, under the protection of Chinese's guards, were clearing the city, so the remaining fires could not reignite the ashes, and the broken remains had to be removed as soon as possible.
At the moment, there were already a few foreign Merchant ships s approaching. Luo Huo was in the middle of trading with Mike, so he opened promissory notes one after another and took them down from the boat. Buckets after buckets of expensive gunpowder s were being moved.
At this time, the overseas Chinese did not consider any political influences anymore. Japanese had been beaten into a homeless dog, while Xiao Letian was now the only one in his family, so if he did not earn some money at this time, what was there to wait for? A Speargun's profit of more than ten times was not sold.
It wasn't just Luo Huo and the others who were busy, Jin Changsen and Winged King Shida Kai were also busy to the point that their feet didn't even touch the ground. Regardless of whether they were part of the Shimadzu or those of the Japan Trader, Japanese's secret warehouses had all been confiscated. The long seals were affixed all over Na Ba's body.
It was not only Chinese who was busy, even the administrative system of glume Kingdom did not sleep at all. Official who was holding a torch went all over the mountain to publicize Prime Minister's new decree, mobilizing Glazed Ball People to return to the city from all over the mountain. Gradually, the surrounding mountains all lit up with the light of the torch.
This was power, power that made men unable to extricate themselves from it. Xiao Letian could sleep soundly under the service of the beautiful women, but his decree would not rest. The power he managed would not close his eyes.
Xiao Letian's every order was completely executed. After Xiao Letian's subordinates had rolled up his loyalty, even Liang Kun, who was very suspicious of Xiao Letian, followed Xiao Letian wholeheartedly. In the culture of the China, those who could rule over a nation's capital and win a national war were all great heroes of Qing Shi.
At some point in time, the night sky had begun to fill with a faintly discernible smell of incense. At first, it was faint, but very quickly, the smell of incense filled every street and alley. Those were the prayers given by the surviving Chinese to Xiao Letian by burning incense in front of his door. The simple Chinese could only use this method to thank his savior.
"It's been more than two hundred years. The Ming Dynasty zodiac didn't care about us, and the Qing Dynasty Emperor didn't care about us either. We pay the heaviest taxes, and we even have to suffer the wrath of the Japan's little maggots. "That dreamy Home Country, at least there's a adults who's looking straight at us at the tomb of our ancestor …"
"From today onwards, we will follow Mr. Xiao. We owe him our lives …"
That tyrant didn't fall asleep that night. Only the heartless Xiao Letian lay in the arms of the beauty and slept till his saliva flowed out. Perhaps it was due to Chinese's prayer, but Xiao Letian, who was in his sleep, laughed in a relaxed manner.
Just as Xiao Letian was sleeping soundly, on a deserted beach in the north reef forest of Naga Harbor, a figure hiding in a crevice quietly sneaked out. Borrowing the moonlight, the dark figure lied down beside a stream and crazily poured cold water on his stomach.
"E Balang..." You were hiding here? " A voice came from behind the figure. E Balang, who was drinking water, took out his costal deviation and rushed in the direction where the voice came from.
After a series of clicks, the two figures clashed in the stream. Under the moonlight, they carefully looked at each other. "Nani?" You are Mistborn? "You tricked me so much …"
E Balang attacked female ninja like a madman. Unfortunately, E Balang's swordsmanship was obviously not as good as ninja techniques in duels. After a few flashes, Mistborn kicked him to the ground and pointed his shuriken at his throat.
"Octagon, you stupid thing, do you want to attract the invitees? "Hurry up and shut up …" Mistborn sat beside E Balang with a pale face. "You and I are both dogs that have lost our homes. Don't bother with those things. I am only listening to the orders of others …"
Mistborn still had some jerky on him, so the two of them shared the meat and ate it. They leaned against the rock and slowly gathered energy.
"Octagon..." What's your next plan? "
"Plan?" "It's good enough to be able to survive. I'm prepared to hide in the mountains for a while, and after the limelight has passed, I'll return to my island. My home is in the immortal estate, so let's go back and live incognito …"
Mistborn sneered and said, "Hiding one's name?" You want to go back home and be a commoner? Didn't you think that being the head of the underworld, drinking the most beautiful wine and playing with the most beautiful women in Naga Harbor, you would earn all the foreign money in the world?
"Go back to the island by yourself. All the territories there are owned by their masters, and every inch of land is guarded by the Lord's Soldiers. Do you really think you can lay down another property? Would the various lords agree? "
Mistborn's reprimand made E Balang lower his head in silence, "Then what do we do?" After all, we can't just wait here for death. Even the Army led by Hua Shanliyuan lost, what hope do we have? Don't even mention me, just look at yourself. The defeated ninja isn't even as good as Zhou Tie, and that Xiao surnamed person will definitely hate you very much. You are much more dangerous than me … "
Perhaps it was because of female ninja's sore spot, Mistborn became silent, but in just a moment, Mistborn had already grabbed E Balang's wrist, "We have yet to reach a dead end, I still have a way. As long as you follow me, I can guarantee that when you return to Japan, you will also obtain the Mu Clan's prize, and you may be taken in as samurai by the Dechuan."
"Nani?" Could it be that you have gone mad, that the Dechuan would want us? Were you bemused by the fire last night … "
"I am not joking. Have you heard of the New Selection Group?"
"The capital's New Selection Group? Are they the New Selection Group s who specially assassinated reformist and Inverted Pie? "How did you get in touch with them …"
It was unknown what Mistborn and E Balang were talking about in the night wind. In the sea breeze, only the sound of the waves hitting the reef could be heard repeating over and over again.
Normally, scissor boat would need five to six days to travel from Naga Harbor to Tanggu Port. If the wind and wind direction allowed it, then they should be able to reach Tanggu Port within four days if they travel at their highest speed. The distance to the Shanghai was much closer, the fastest scissor boat would only be able to see the mouth of the Huangpu River in a day and a half.
What Xiao Letian did not know was that while the scissor boat that he had hired was rushing towards the Tanggu to report, a UK Merchant ships had also stealthily left and headed straight west. His target was the Shanghai, where Foreigners was gathered.
The biggest crisis for Xiao Letian was about to come, this UK ship would definitely send a report to the Shanghai, thus letting Western Powers know about the war in the glume, and the news would also quickly spread throughout the officials' area of the Daqing, whether it was the Xiang Jun or the Qing Liu Empire, all the people in the would eventually know about Xiao Letian's victory over Japanese.
A tree would be destroyed by the wind. How could Xiao Letian be a tree would be destroyed by a forest? He was simply too arrogant. Was there anything in the whole of Daqing more tormenting than him? No matter how powerful Xiang Jun Ceng Guofan was, he had to use all of his strength to beat Taiping Heavenly Kingdom up. No matter how much Manchu Eight Flag bragged about it, in front of Coalition forces, he was just a bunch of useless trash.
Only Xiao Letian, along with dozens of Caravan Guards, was able to stir up Ba Manchu's hundred thousand Chinese to fight with Japanese. Not only that, he had even won in the end. If this wasn't face-smacking, what else could it be?
"The more capable the Chinese are, the more terrified the Manchu will be. If alien race wants to rule the huge Han Dynasty, all of them will be trembling with fear and treading on thin ice. Xiao Letian, oh Xiao Letian, I wonder if you can survive this crisis? "I'm really looking forward to it …"
On a cold night, the sleepless Ban Benlongma muttered to Yue, and beside him knelt the Shimadzu's ninja Fog Concealed Ghosts.
"Ghost, you have to remember that from today on, we have to be humble, especially in front of the foreigners. We have to fully express our fear and respect towards Xiao Letian and help him improve his reputation. Yes, the higher the better. We will make Xiao Letian the king of this city! "
