3854 Fraud Secrets
Gordon is completely different from Bai Qiwen and Wall. The most important thing is that Gordon is a professional officer of the British government. He was born in a military family and received aristocratic education!
He also attended a military professional school. After graduation, he worked hard in the regular army and achieved success in his qualifications and military achievements!
Professional soldiers, the nobles of the third generation are definitely different from those rascal gangsters, at least they have meaning!
Gordon knew how to advance and retreat. He knew that although China had become weak and difficult to fight back, it was too much worse than Britain's national strength, but it was also an ancient country for thousands of years!
Even if you look down on them in your heart, you still have to do the superficial skills and be polite!
This made the Jiangnan officialdom have a very good impression of him. Although Gordon also robbed and embezzled, he was able to look polite!
This is completely a different personality developed by different tutors!
More importantly, Gordon is a formal incumbent officer in the British army, and he has a complete set of British government resources to support him!
Wah and Bai Qiwen were not. They were both civilians who came to the Qing Dynasty spontaneously to take risks. They only received a little support from the US government after they had succeeded!
How can the final result be the same if the background is different?
Gordon completely inherited the legacy of Wall and Bai Qiwen, and used his professional military academy knowledge and experience in the army to completely control the army in just one month!
This Gordon is very good at being. When he commands the army to fight, he is completely like a British gentleman. What is incredible is that he doesn’t even have a gun when he leads the team to fight.
This Gordon made a common British civilization stick and walked at the front of the team. Even if there were guns and bullets in front of him, thousands of troops were not afraid at all!
The commanders of Wall and Bai Qiwen were much more barbaric, and they often waved their commanding knives or pistols to lead the soldiers to charge!
It is strange that Gordon's British aristocratic style had a very market at the end of the 19th century, because in that era the people had a nearly habitual worship of the imperial power and the aristocratic system!
This is different from the social atmosphere that completely advocates liberalism in the 21st century. People are very awe-inspiring when they see imperial power and aristocrats!
They respect the nobles and are willing to accept the rule of the nobles. Once Gordon showed the aristocratic temperament that ordinary people did not have, the combat effectiveness of the Changsheng Army was actually enhanced by three points. The soldiers' respect for him was far beyond that of Wall and Bai Qiwen!
Gordon's brilliant battle was the Battle of Suzhou! This Suzhou City is a military city managed by the Taiping Army, and its geographical location is very important.
He failed to attack several times, and was forced to do so, but Li Hongzhang could only persuade the Eight Kings in the city to try to capture Suzhou City without bloodshed!
"Hey... Cheng Beile... The last time I saw this pistol was in Suzhou! The story of this pistol is very long!"
"Haha... Li Hongzhang gave you this pistol to Mr. Beile, just to use the incidents of that year to threaten me!"
"What does he want to sue me? Will the soldiers plunder or kill people to massacre the city? You don't understand, you don't understand what war is... That kind of cruelty is not something you can imagine in Sijiu City!"
"I have seen more of the darkness of human nature!"
Gordon put away his pistol and let his family put it in the study. He looked at Zai Cheng calmly and said very seriously, "Before the Suzhou Battle, Bai Qiwen had betrayed the Taiping Army!"
"That guy is too obsessed with power. He is not valued in the Qing Dynasty, so he ran to Suzhou to try his luck. Unfortunately, Mu Wang Tan Shaoguang did not pay attention to him and only gave him two thousand troops!"
"Bai Qiwen, who had a serious gap in his heart, could only defect to Suzhou again... Fortunately, the Taiping Army did not kill him, and he returned to the camp of the Changsheng Army!"
"After that, Li Hongzhang arrested Bai Qiwen and detained him in his military camp for three days before handing it over to the US consul!"
"This gun should have fallen into Li Hongzhang's hands at that time... No, no, no... Maybe it wasn't this time, maybe it was after Bai Qiwen drowned him after he went from Japan to Fujian!"
"Haha... I want to threaten me with this pistol?" Gordon looked disdainful. "The so-called black material in Bai Qiwen's hand is just a little silver!"
"When the war was in the past, there were more people who were rude to money! Not only me, he, Li Hongzhang, robbed more money than me in Suzhou City!"
"Shameless! Li Hongzhang used my credibility to induce the Eight Kings to surrender... What's the end? He actually traitorized and killed the Eight Kings, smearing all my credibility!"
"You know, the Eight Kings did not believe in Li Hongzhang's credibility at that time. They asked the Europeans to make a guarantee, and they asked me to make a guarantee!"
"I broke the arrows into the alliance, and then I won the trust of the Eight Kings! But in the end, Li Hongzhang still killed the prisoners. He was trampling on my dignity!"
"I still want to use the things I did back then to threaten me? He just gave me 390,000 taels. Do I still want to use this little money to threaten me?"
"dream!"
With a click, the cup of tea in Zaicheng's hand suddenly rolled onto the table. He stared at Gordon with his eyes wide open, "And... there is still this one? No wonder these generals who fought have paid all the money? It's so easy to make money from dead people!"
Gordon thought Zai Cheng knew everything, but he didn't expect that Li Hongzhang was very strict and gave the pistol but did not reveal any news to Zai Cheng.
Gordon, who was unknown, was fooled all of a sudden and directly exposed the secret deal with Li Hongzhang back then. When he saw Zai Cheng's surprised expression, Gordon suddenly understood!
"Ah! So that's it... Hahaha... It turns out that Master Chengbeile didn't get all the secrets of Lord Li!"
"This is not good, very bad... It seems that I am going to serve tea and see off the guests!"
Gordon tugged his mouth in time, and no more secrets were revealed. He picked up the teacup and pointed at the door, signaling Chengbeile to leave quickly!
Zaichun wanted to slap himself twice. He was too uneasy. If he could just stabilize himself, he would have to cheat out some more secrets.
"Well... Sir Gordon! I'll open the window and say something! Since I can get this pistol from Lord Li, I can get your secret!"
"This Qing Dynasty will always be a world full of people. As a guest, we will not stop you from making money! But it is too deep to intervene, which is not good for you!"
"Remember, remember that the Qing Dynasty will not have another second ever-winning army to bring you! You'd better stay away from the army..."
"Goodbye..." Zai Cheng led a group of dog legs away like a gust of wind!
Gordon looked at the door angrily and shut up and scolded in English, "Shameless! I rude barbarian! I will never see such a guest again!"
"You all listen. Don't let messy people come in anymore. I'm going to rest!" Gordon's good mood for the day was destroyed by Zai Cheng!
