Beiyang reactionaries

They are British businessmen, behind them is the powerful British Empire.The British Empire is the most powerful country in the world, but China is a weak country among the big countries that can be bullied wantonly in the world.

When did the merchants of the British Empire still feel so frustrated in China?

"What are our diplomats doing? There is such a warlord in Sichuan who doesn't care about our British Empire. Who is this warlord?"

"It seems that I heard that he is related to Duan Qirui, the current Chinese Prime Minister. Anyway, in Sichuan, he is overshadowed by one hand. With 10,000+ people in his hand, our businessmen are not willing to offend him."

"Duan Qirui dare not treat businessmen from our British Empire like this."

"Captain, what shall we do now?"

"Go to Chongqing."

Steven Coates was pissed.

It's not really necessary to go to Chongqing, but he really wants to see Chongqing.After all, it has been a few years since I left the Yangtze River Shipping, and I want to get familiar with it.Also go to see the situation in Chongqing.

Don't be like Wanxian.

"What are those wooden boats?"

Steven Kurts was in a bad mood when he saw a few wooden boats driving ahead, so he asked his crew directly.

"Chuanchu Boat Gang."

"Damn it, why are they even shipping goods, but we don't have our share?"

Seeing that some not very large wooden boats were transporting goods, Steven Kurts was really angry.The loss to Chuanjiang Steamship Company was because that company was owned by the Sichuan Warlord. They had money, guns, and an army, and even a small captain of a foreign company, Steven Cootes, couldn't manage it.

This is the business of British diplomats.

But what are these small wooden boats?

As Steven Coates, who ran the Yangtze River shipping back then, he knew the Chuanchu Ship Gang.Isn't it just a small gang that relies on small wooden boats to transport small things to make a living.

Didn't pay attention to them at all.

But this group of small wooden boats that only live at the bottom have business, but a ship as big as my own has no business, which is intolerable.Steven Coates, who was irritated by a series of things today, was furious, and said directly: "Speak to the small wooden boat in front, tell them to pull over, and stay out of our way."

"Captain, they're not in our way. We can..."

"Shut up. Hurry up and tell them to step aside, or I will run right over."

"Captain, you can't do it. The Chuanchu Ship Gang has been quite bullish recently. They have a very good relationship with the Wanxian government."

The subordinates hurriedly advised Steven Coates.

But it's okay if he doesn't say it, but it makes Steven Kurts even more annoyed when he says it.As an imposing captain of a British merchant ship, and a veteran of Swire Pacific, he may be a bit powerless to deal with the Sichuan Warlord with 10,000+ in his hand.Unless this Sichuan warlord is very afraid of the British Empire, otherwise I really have nothing to do with him.

But what is the Chuanchu Boat Gang?What is Wan County Government?

If I am afraid of them, I am not joking.When did the British even fear these little thieves.So Steven Cootes ordered directly: "Bump them over and throw them in to feed the fish."

Run amok.

For British ships, there is not much fear at all in the Yangtze River for many years.Since the British had the right of navigation on the Yangtze River, their ships and warships sailed on the Yangtze River unscrupulously.The British warships running across the Yangtze River have bombarded Chinese cities. I don’t know how many Chinese cargo ships have been knocked down by their ships over the years.

Needless to say, this small wooden boat.

Hitting is in vain.

So Steven Coates, in a rage, vented his anger on these small wooden boats.

"Woooooo-"

However, their boat had just overturned the wooden boat of the Chuanchu Boat Gang, and then continued sailing for a few minutes when they suddenly heard a hurried whistle.Soon Steven Coates noticed that there were many boats coming.

Many small boats coming from behind began to rescue those who fell into the water.

But there are some boats blocking his way ahead.Steven Cootes knew from the appearance of these ships that they were some small gunboats.Very small ship, even smaller than some cargo ships.

Then put a cannon or two in there.

Very shabby.

At first glance, it is assembled by the Chinese army itself, which is to scare people.In a real war, these little gunboats are really of little use.Steven Kurts can guarantee that if the British randomly search for warships, it will be easy to fight such a small gunboat.A dozen or so will not be afraid.Even twenty or so opponents who have never heard of warships.

"Rush over."

Although it was obvious that this was a small gunboat of the Chinese army, Steven Coates didn't care at all.He didn't believe that these small gunboats dared to fire, so he didn't have to care about these small gunboats at all when ordering his own ship.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

Just as Steven Kurts rushed over confidently, he suddenly heard the sound of gunfire.Although several cannons didn't hit him, the sound of the cannons still startled him.

Really fired?How dare they shoot?

Stop and stop.

Steven Coates didn't take them seriously, but he really didn't dare to let him fight these small gunboats.My side is just a merchant ship, and the people on board have a little light weapons.

These cannons are average, but if they really hit themselves, they can still be fired.

How to do?

"Quick, quick, send power to the company headquarters, tell them what's going on here, and ask the consulate to intervene."

174 Conflict 3

"Who's there?"

"Captain Zeng."

"Why is he here?"

Wan County.

messed up.

Ever since Duan Xun began to integrate Wan County and established a special zone in Wan County, such a thing has not happened here for a long time.Since Duan Xun served as the commander of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Garrison, the Marine Police Corps under the Upper Yangtze River Garrison Command was established, and Yu Jitang served as the captain of the Marine Police Corps.Then three marine police teams were established in Chongqing, Yichang, and Wanxian respectively, namely the first, second, and third marine police teams.

Stationed in Wan County is the third marine police team under the Marine Police Corps.

The captain is Zeng Zhaoqin, named Guobin.
