Things have never been smooth sailing, and countless unexpected situations have occurred. When Samuel fell into the water and fell into a coma, the British Embassy in Beijing immediately gave instructions.

On the one hand, he submitted an emergency note to the Qing court and the Chinese people, requesting the governments of both sides to provide all resources to do their best to rescue this famous explorer loved by the British people.

On the other hand, the embassy sent professionals to the northwest to investigate the truth immediately!

At the same time, Gordon, who had just arrived in Xi'an, immediately waited for subsequent orders. Then the British envoy from Beijing sent an emergency notice to London.

On the surface, everything was carried out according to normal diplomatic processes, but everyone could feel the anger of the British. From beginning to end, they insisted on conducting in-depth case investigations.

From their mouths, this incident was a premeditated murder, not an accident!

The Japanese and the others had never solved such a diplomatic accident, and the ministers of the Zongli Yamen Military Affairs Office were completely confused.

When the British protested, they protested, and when they were concerned, they were concerned. If the Qing court cooperated, they would send a few people to see... What exactly does this matter represent? Who is Samuel? They don’t know about this.

Even in the hearts of these officials, isn’t it just that some explorer died? Such people run around the world all day long and have nothing to do. They are all rice insects, so it’s even more worry-free to die!

You have a big nose in the UK, and you still have to let the government investigate such people who don’t have to do anything about childbirth? Isn’t it just a person who falls into the water? There will be more than 100,000 yuan in the Qing Dynasty every day.

In sharp contrast to the ignorance of the Qing court, the Chinese people attached great importance to it. When the British note was passed to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Chinese people responded quickly in just 24 hours.

The entire Chinese media began to take action. What was unexpected was that all Chinese newspapers actually put the glory of discovering the Dunhuang Sutra Cave on Samuel Baker's head.

The front-page headline released a telegram of concern from Xiao Lotte, in which the head of state highly praised Sir Samuel Baker's noble character and professionalism.

A Qing army soldier who was fighting hard in the Western Regions from thousands of miles to form an expedition from Britain across the entire Central Asian Pamir Plateau and went deep into the war zone.

What kind of spirit is this? This is the fearless internationalist humanitarian spirit! This is a kind act comparable to the goddess of lantern Nightingale!

Not only that, Mr. Samuel also used his most professional archaeological experience to discover the ancient Sutra Cave that had been sealed for two thousand years in Dunhuang! Ancient documents and Western Region cultural relics were released as a whole during the Jin Dynasty. The preliminary calculation books and the number of pictures exceeded 100,000...

...

The front-page headlines almost made Samuel a saint, and the report suddenly caused an uproar in the public opinion community!

"Where is Dunhuang? Guazhou? Where did General Zuo fight?"

"What is Mogao Grottoes? Why have you never heard of it? There is also a Sutra Cave..."

"Good, the documents from the Jin Dynasty continued until the Yuan Dynasty and were hidden? How many treasures do you have?"

Chinese literati were completely sensational. Let’s not talk about the hidden Buddhist scriptures and Taoisms. Let’s say that ancient calligraphy and painting artworks are priceless treasures, especially the Jin Dynasty was an important historical period when Chinese calligraphy gradually matured.

The authentic works left behind by this era are simply priceless!

Public opinion suddenly started to hype. Ordinary people could not understand cultural matters but could understand war matters. When they heard that foreigners crossed the desert and risked the death of freezing to death, they helped the emperor to comfort the front-line army. That's not bad!

There has never been such a wonderful drama in the play!

The ancient and strange name Dunhuang spreads around the world at the speed of light. Thanks to the gradually formed global telegram network, when Jiangnan had already caused a sensation, Fusang, North Korea, Luzon, and Nanyang also knew it.

It seems that it will be known to everyone in less than a week!

The British embassy staff in the Qing Dynasty did not expect the Chinese to do this. Before the case was investigated clearly, it began to be widely publicized!

Many foreigners couldn't help but think. Could it be that the Chinese people really didn't do anything wrong? Otherwise, how could they take the initiative to promote? Will the guilty people do this?

Before the British could understand Xiao Letian's routine, Emperor Tongzhi, who was about to board the ship in Shanghai, also made a voice!

Emperor Tongzhi sent a telegram of condolences to the British Embassy, ​​in which he highly praised Samuel's great achievements and thanked him for his contributions to the Central Asia with his expedition team, and called him "Friends of the Qing Dynasty".

Although Emperor Tongzhi did not take power, he also issued an order to the city of Beijing. Let alone whether anyone listened to his attitude must be fully implemented!

The government was ordered to cooperate with the British investigation and Samuel and his party of officials along the way must be entertained at the highest level!

What a good guy, the Chinese and the Qing court... Of course, Zai Chun's Qing court completely praised Samuel as a saint, and he was so lucky that he was trying to get his life on him!

But just as public opinion was praising it, an emergency telegram came from the northwest. The rebels in the Hexi Corridor who remained in the Hexi Corridor turned into bandits and were harassing the British expedition. As of the date of the report, as many as 500 horse bandits were fighting against the official army. Samuel was trapped near Yumen Pass west of Jiayu Pass, and there had been no place to move for three days!

What a good guy, under such public opinion, there are even rebels who dare to harass Hexi, which greatly lost the face of the court.

The Military Affairs Office and the Zongli Yamen jointly issued a power to Zuo Zongtang, demanding that he must send a large army to escort Mr. Samuel, and no accidents must occur.

After the order was released, there were waves of reports on the brutal rebels of Aguber, and the Qing court also began to learn to use public opinion.

For a moment, the Qing Dynasty was excited, but it became a common enemy of the rebels in the northwest!

Outside Yumen Pass, six hundred Zuo Zongtang's cavalry set up a circular defensive position in the desert. Outside were the brutal rebels and horse bandits. The two sides had exchanged fire six times in three days.

Although the casualties were small, the battle situation was extremely fierce. Samuel had been blocked here for three days!

His lips were pale and chapped, and his face was blue and gray. Samuel was no longer able to do it. He was surrounded by his disciples, his assistants for many years and loyal British soldiers.

When he returned to his eyes, Samuel was temporarily awake. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the familiar face, his lips trembling to say something.

He was about to leave his last words, and at least he had to tell his disciples that he had to send his precious private notebook back to his country!

But God knew how much tiger and wolf medicine the doctor used, Samuel cried in a hurry in the end but still didn't say a word.

He kept shouting in his heart, "Lampbook...send the notebook back to China...there is a secret..."

But I just can't say it, I can't say a word!

The blonde assistant cried in tears, "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely avenge you and must catch the murderer!"
Chapter completed!
