3516 Threatening British Consul
The silver was blackened by the smoke of gunpowder and dyed red by blood. When the gunshots stopped, the killing Shura field shocked everyone, and many old people recalled the bloody scene when they were growing hair.
After the war, the battlefield was counted and eighteen bodies of French assassins were found, and one fell into the Huangpu River and no one went to salvage it. Nineteen French assassins were wiped out.
There were four British assassins, all of whom were senior patrolmen in the British Concession. One was shot dead and the other three were seriously injured.
Just when Suzuki Tai and others wanted to try these criminals, British Shanghai Consul Bu Fuer led British sailors to force the bodies of three seriously injured and the dead.
"We have extraterritorial legal power. The British committed crimes in the Qing Dynasty and we can only judge them!"
The old shopkeeper pointed angrily at the bloody and the bodies of the Qing people all over the ground. "You come to judge? Who will be responsible for the lives of us Chinese!"
Bufur said arrogantly, "I am very sorry that the British side will give certain compensation to the victims, but the big one should still come from the French concession!"
"I am frank, this time your side's display of these reparations of silver and artworks is an inappropriate act... Didn't you see that the French Concession has expressed protests?"
"Until now, no official in the French Concession attended the welcome ceremony... It was the assassin you were asking for trouble, you should reflect on it!"
The Chinese people present were angry, the crowd began to clamor, and the families of the victims began to surround, and then Suzuki Ta's Marines also rushed up with murderous intent.
"What do you want to do? Do you dare to threaten the British Empire by force? Soldiers, protect our citizens!"
British soldiers rushed forward quickly and used bayonets to defend the approaching Chinese military and civilians with vigilantly. Bu Fuer, who was so harsh and frugal, shouted loudly, "We have the right to rule the extraterritorial law. This is a treaty signed by the Qing Dynasty and us. Do you dare not admit it?"
"There are warships of our British Empire at the mouth of the Huangpu River. If you dare to attack the concession, we will bombard the entire Shanghai!"
"Back back, I see whoever dares to steal people! Who dares to act rashly!"
Just when the atmosphere was extremely tense, suddenly the Buddha's name "Amitabha!" came from behind the crowd and the crowd suddenly stopped and a monk wearing a half-old blue-gray monk's uniform walked out.
"Consul Bufuer, let your soldiers put the bayonet down. Are you willing to talk to me, a monk..."
"Ryuma Sakamoto?" The big guys present didn't know him, even the British had his information.
Since ancient times, humans have been somewhat awe of religious people. When they saw that the Dragon Master had come forward, Bu Fuer quickly found a way out.
"Yes, Mr. Ryuma, you can come here...to make the way out!"
Ryuma Sakamoto walked into the British defense circle and looked at the injured person and shook his head, "Bandage it first, be careful!"
"Consul Bufuer, I'll tell you a short story. You British Concession must apologize for this matter today..." Before Bufuer could protest, Ryuma Sakamoto snorted coldly.
"Hmph! Put away your arrogance. You can put on the stinking airs of your British Empire in front of any Asian nation, but don't be arrogant in front of the Chinese!"
"What are you doing with such an ugly face? Even I want to threaten it?"
"Yes, the Sun-Unset Empire is very powerful. Not to mention the Chinese, even if the strength of all countries in East Asia is combined, it is not your opponent!"
"But you seem to have forgotten that we will not fight against the British Empire at all. We can throw all the hatred on you, Bufore!"
"You!" Bu Fuer's face turned pale.
"Hahaha...you don't think about it. How high courtesy was the head of state received in Britain? Do you think you don't have the energy of the head of state when Benjamin stepped down?"
"The Queen can give the Royal Palace to the Head of State to live... The entire London aristocratic circle and political stars have nothing to do with us Chinese?"
"Don't challenge our dignity, we have ways to deal with you... not against the British Empire!"
"We can use your political enemies to impeach you desperately. We will accuse you of corruption, rape, and betray state secrets... We will spend a lot of money to buy your allies and make you an lonely person in the British political arena!"
"Believe me, we can do it! IMHO, it seems that your diplomat at the level is not qualified to have afternoon tea with the Queen, right?"
"Since that's the case, what are you awesome? What do you have to be arrogant? Tell me..."
Bu Fuer's legs were trembling at this moment. He never expected that a religious person would be so rogue. His tricks were simply impossible to crack.
Xiao Letian does not have the ability to kill the empire of the Sun and the Stop, but he has the ability to kill you, a British politician! You can't stand it even if you throw dirty water!
"God... God... No wonder people say that you are covered in Xiao Letian's blood... You are like him, monsters!"
"What do you want?" Bu Fuer was frightened as if he had met a gangster girl.
"Haha, it's not so much. I'll see your public apology statement in the newspaper tomorrow. You can take these three assassins away... But since they have killed so many Chinese people, the death penalty is inevitable!"
"You have to calm us down by the Huangpu River!"
"You don't have to worry about the compensation for France. Anyway, all the victims today will be compensated for 100 pounds per person, and the injured will be paid twenty pounds per person!"
"Just these three conditions! I have not violated extraterritorial legal rights, right? I let you judge yourself. Isn't it okay to say these words yourself?"
Bu Fuer had no room for bargaining. He thought about it carefully and said that his political future was the most important, and everything else could be discussed!
Ryuma Sakamoto, who reached an oral agreement, left back "Suzuki Tai!"
Pa, the foreign legion Suzuki Tai saluted respectfully. You must know that Fuso officers of Suzuki Tai's level all know the secret.
When the head of state is gone, Ryuma Sakamoto can mobilize the forces of the foreign legions of the two divisions, which means that Ryuma Sakamoto has military power and is the commander of the foreign legion second only to the head of state!
"Suzuki is very cautious in obeying the commander!"
"Scatter all the soldiers and let the British go...Soldiers should not get involved in diplomatic disputes!"
"Yes! Everyone dispersed and let the British go back to the concession!"
The entire conflict was resolved. No matter how angry the people present were, the Chinese troops made the decision and no one else dared to refute.
Immediately afterwards, officials from Shanghai Road began to clean up the scene. The statistics came out that evening. The attack caused a total of 54 casualties to Chinese civilians.
That night, the shopkeeper Fan Jian invited the returnee Tasuki and other senior Chinese officials at the bank building, and even Ryuma Sakamoto attended.
After a few glasses of wine, the old shopkeeper burst into tears. "I only realized today that my son-in-law is not easy! This group of French people is too difficult. They are really strong enemies!"
Suzuki Taiya drank a few more drinks, and his mouth depicted the scenes he saw in his native France.
