Chapter 83 Actually it didn't start
When Li Huamei's Li family army arrived at the scene, the riot had already settled - it was not that the time it took to spread the news from the yamen to Li Huamei's ears, nor that it took too long to mobilize soldiers, leave the ships, and go to the front line and other actions, it just ended quickly.
Unfortunately, the ending was not what Li Huamei thought should have been the result that "everyone in the "Caishen Chamber of Commerce" was detained", but "the officers and soldiers of Yangzhou were defeated."
Taking the Yangzhou Yamen as the starting point, it extends along one of the directions of the streets. The Chinese people lying on the ground, from the prefect, the magistrate, the magistrate, the magistrate, the magistrate, the officers and soldiers, the number was astonishing. The bad news was that the Qianhu Institute of Yangzhou, which arrived at the scene before the Li family army, was beaten down. The good news was that there were no disabilities or deaths. The people who fell to the ground were either dizzy or crying for pain on the ground, which obviously received mercy from the other party.
A small number of soldiers were left to take care of the wounded. Under the guidance of one of the subordinates who were arranged to monitor the "Treasure God Chamber of Commerce", Li Huamei led his troops into the alley and saw the crowd of the "Treasure God Chamber of Commerce" in front of the door of a house. It was inconsistent with the number of people mentioned in the report. Except for Jingtian, Xiyao and a small number of artificial maids stayed on the boat, everyone else came from all over Yangzhou City.
The Li family navy came so powerfully, but Leeds walked out slowly and said, "The Cauldron saved grandpa, and sent it one by one~ This time it is Sister Xiang Feihu, your Li family army? It's just that the number of people is a little smaller, not enough for us to get stuck in our teeth."
It would be better to say that if hundreds of thousands of troops rushed over, not only Leeds felt that way, but even Clausa, Jia Xu, and Li Ru who had just moved their bodies a little, missed the pleasure of rushing to mow grass on the battlefield. The number of people in the Yangzhou Thousand Household Institute is really not enough for them to share with them.
"Bold madman! How dare I hurt my Chinese officers and soldiers in the broad daylight! It really depends on my Chinese no one!" I had a deal with Leeds before, but that little friendship had already disappeared at this moment. The adjutant now hates to eat his flesh.
"Even if you say that..." Leeds looked helpless and tilted his head, "Run from the direction of the dock, you should have seen the guards from that place just now, right?"
"You-!" The adjutant was furious, but couldn't speak.
Perhaps China implements the maritime ban policy, perhaps the court has the idea of heaven and dynasty, or perhaps Li Huamei is the most visionary general of China, but her fleet is still built in China, and it is impossible for the Li family army to use muskets and cannons, and the garrisons in various places don’t even know what muskets are. At most it is just a matter of equipment rate... In fact, a considerable number of people in the Qianhu Institution in Yangzhou that fought against Leeds and others were equipped with copper guns and iron guns.
However, even so, the Qianhu Institute of Yangzhou was defeated in just a few quarters of an hour. No one is stupid. He has no brainstorm to be the strongest army in China, and he will not think that his strength is dozens of times higher than that of the local garrison stations, right? Faced with such a ruthless person of unknown origin, it is impossible to say that he is not feeling terrified.
"Enough!" Li Huamei stood up and stared at Leeds with a frosty face. "Captain Leeds, what's going on?"
"I really want to say it? If I hold the idea that 'You hurt our Chinese people, no matter what, you will be detained and killed on the spot if you resist.' I don't think there is any need to waste my lips and tongue."
When the artificial humans heard the words "kill on the spot", they held the weapons in their hands tightly and approached Leeds from behind with a guarding force. Once Li Huamei issued a battle order, they would immediately "second jump + air sprint" into the enemy formation to prevent the soldiers from completing the shooting.
"..." Li Huamei could not deny that she was angry. Even though Liz and others showed mercy and did not commit murder, they still bullied the Chinese, but, "I want to know the truth."
"Okay, I'll satisfy my beauty's curiosity~" Leeds shook his head, "The beginning of the matter was wrong with us. Because of misunderstandings and bad temper, we beat you Yangzhou sellers on the street."
Li Huamei's face darkened, "...You mean 'Yangzhou Skinny Horse'?"
As a woman, Li Huamei hates the nobles who buy thin horses to abuse them.
As a woman, Li Huamei sympathizes with her but cannot like the thin horse who is trained to be a plaything.
As a woman, Li Huamei hates the thin horse breeder who pushes young children into the abyss.
But while being a woman, Li Huamei is still an admiral who stands on the Chinese side, so naturally she cannot say anything about the way of making a living within these laws.
"Yes, that's it." Leeds reached out and pointed to the house next to him. "We just paid to visit it before you arrived. Let my maids increase their knowledge in all aspects... Of course, I don't stop my friends from paying for one or two to enjoy it, just let them appear in front of me less."
Leeds himself naturally did not have this need. With the addition of members of "The Leaf Troop", he even solved the problem of grassroots maids that he had always lacked.
"Actually, Yangzhou thin horses, misunderstandings and hurting people are not the key, because in the yamen, I have solved the problem with gold," Leeds knew that his face must be annoying now, especially in the eyes of the righteous people opposite, "but I don't know whether this is a legal issue in your China or a character issue of your Yangzhou prefect. Our 'out-of-court reconciliation' has been stopped, so he still wants to throw us into the prison."
"..." Li Huamei, who is familiar with the laws of this dynasty, instantly figured out the reason. She did not doubt Leeds' statement. After all, this is a very common thing in China, "so you resisted."
"Well~ Maybe in your opinion, I shouldn't resist. But in my eyes, I shouldn't listen to you." Leeds waved and saw the artificial man with inexplicable fighting spirit of "Yangzhou Slim Horse" step forward in unison, and a black mass came to the row side by side with Leeds. "So here we just adopt the law of the strong as respect."
"Admiral!"
"Don't be impulsive." Li Huamei, who persuaded her subordinates, couldn't help but clench her fists in her hand.
Reason told her that no human could have a volley of muskets in front.
Her intuition told her that once the war started, the one who lay down would definitely be herself.
Leeds tilted his head and looked up, looking back at something, "Raphael had said before, "The rules of the age of navigation are firmly controlled, and the merchants in the city are forced to trade with foreign chambers of commerce under pressure, the general practice is-"
“!?”
"——Use force to open the gate of this city!"
