Sister White Tiger rolled her eyes. Zhang Chengcheng, a cat slave for two generations, understood what he meant. Otherwise, cats would have been raised in vain for decades.

Zhang Cheng lifted Sister Baihu's chin and scratched it twice. Sister Baihu felt so comfortable that she didn't want to move. At this time, Sister Baihu had one thought: It's good to have a master.

Of course, the cat owner must provide everything the cat needs unconditionally, even if he has a big cat.

To put it another way, if a beautiful fairy in the transformation stage wanted to provide him with everything he needed, Zhang Cheng would also want to lie down!

Zhang Cheng himself is considered to have great luck in his cultivation, but the seven pets at home have advanced to the divine transformation stage completely by lying down, which is simply unreasonable.

If there were other pets, Zhang Cheng might still pick one, but the one who came to him turned out to be a cat owner. Zhang Cheng, who was a cat slave, couldn't refuse it at all. It seemed that Heaven had already helped Zhang Cheng screen it once.

Generally speaking, this time the ugly and soft country encountered a large-scale natural disaster, which had little impact on the Eastern Freeport. After all, this ugly and soft country was the last to become a neutral country among the great powers and is an emerging challenger.

This time a large-scale natural disaster occurred in the ugly and soft country. It is too late for the beggar powers, who are being challenged by the ugly and soft country to challenge their status in the world, to be happy!

The one who dominates the order in the Eastern Freeport Concession is still the eldest among the great powers. It is also the former mother country of the Ugly and Soft Country, and it is also the most powerful country in the world in the past two hundred years - the Cowardly and Defeating Country.

The Coward Country is located on a large island in the West. The ruling class on the island has been composed of outsiders since ancient times. The indigenous people are accustomed to being ruled by outsiders. In the eyes of outsiders, except for the top foreigners, all the cowards in this country are cowards. The Coward Country

Hence the name.

When the cowardly country first colonized the world, it always used the policy of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When it encountered a tough opponent, it would avoid it, and when it encountered a weak persimmon, it would go up and pinch it.

However, in the past two hundred years, apart from losing the ugly colony to the coalition forces of the Western countries, the Cowardly Country has never been afraid of anyone in the Western countries. After all, there is a word for fierce in its name.

His cruel and bellicose temperament is self-evident.

On this day, Zhang Cheng held his pet White Tiger Sister in his left hand and Lingbao Lu'er in his right hand and continued to go out to collect stories with his two maids. While listening to stories at the Huajie Tea House, he saw a group of foreign soldiers coming out of the concession below.

Walking towards the flower world further away.

Logically speaking, foreign soldiers cannot rent out a concession. Otherwise, how could they set up a separate concession?

No matter what happens in the world, principles with big fists are always strong. Now that Huaguo’s fists are not as good as those of foreigners, it naturally does not dare to manage the issue of the foreign soldiers’ rental industry.

Zhang Cheng glanced at Lu'er, who immediately understood. He took out a purple gold gourd from the great career line and turned it into a clone. Lu'er's clone resisted the camera and chased the foreign soldiers in an invisible state.

Zhang Cheng, who was sitting on the second floor of the teahouse, suddenly said something meaningless: "The wind is blowing!"

The Hu Family Ancestral Hall in Hujiazhuang outside the Eastern Freeport.

Today a group of foreign soldiers posted a notice at the door of Hu's ancestral hall.

There is more than one scholar in the Hu family: Hu Chishi, who killed his parents and converted to foreign religion.

Mr. Hu, who teaches literacy among the tribe's children, was pulled in by the tribe. After seeing this notice, he immediately ran to find Taigong Hu in the village.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Grandpa Hu who was drinking tea slowly. Mr. Hu said: "Grandpa, trouble, trouble is coming!" @

Mr. Hu, who was over seventy years old, slowly put down his tea cup: "When people sit at home, disaster comes from the sky! The ancients never bullied me! Tell me, what disaster is it?"

Mr. Hu: "Just now a group of foreign soldiers came from the concession, dozens of them, carrying foreign guns. A notice was posted at the door of the Hu Family Ancestral Hall, which said that there is also a bastard named Hu Chi Shiyi in the Hu Family Ancestral Hall.

Hu Chishi donated his share of the ownership of the Hu's Ancestral Hall to the foreign church. Today the church sent someone to post a notice to inform that tomorrow they will send someone to change the Hu's Ancestral Hall into a foreign church. As for the Hu family

The church will send people to purchase the shares owned by other people in Hu's ancestral hall at three silver dollars per share for each family. Those who are not willing to take the money have given up voluntarily!

From now on, our Hu family’s ancestral hall will be changed into a foreign church. Isn’t this a bastard?”

Taigong Hu: "I understand. Gather all the clan members at the entrance of the ancestral hall. I have something to say."

Mr. Hu quickly ran out to call someone. Mr. Hu

I walked slowly and leisurely with a walking stick, walking two miles in half an hour, and arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall where people had been arriving for a long time.

Standing on the steps at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Taigong Hu first took a look at the familiar scenery that he had seen for more than seventy years and still couldn't get enough of. Then he said slowly: "Everyone should know that the foreigners came to post notices today. Foreigners

The ancestral hall must be demolished and a church built.

For this plan, there are only two ways. It is useless to report to the official. Everyone knows that the court is afraid of foreigners. Of these two ways, the first is to follow. Just like that Hu Chi Shi, our whole village converted and gave

Foreigners can still live as slaves. But from now on, they have to follow foreign religions and cannot worship their ancestors.

The second way is to top it. Foreigners have foreign guns and cannons, and they have bayonets when they get close. A hard top will definitely kill someone."

"That's not possible. Forgetting our ancestors is the greatest form of unfilial piety. Without our ancestors, where would we come from?"

"Yes, today we have forgotten our ancestors, and our grandchildren will also forget us in the future."

"Yes, the ancestral hall cannot be demolished."

"At worst, if you fight with foreigners, your life will be saved, so what are you afraid of!"

"That's right, the officials in the imperial court are afraid of death, and we, the farmers, have to fight for our lives!"

The crowd was excited. When everyone had finished talking, Taigong Hu said: "A few years ago, a friend told me that if a few more people in Huaguo die today, our children and grandchildren will die by thousands or tens of thousands in the future. Look.

Come to our Hujiazhuang, the day of bloodshed has arrived...

But if you want to support it, you can’t force it. Mr. Hu, what do you think?”

Mr. Hu: "If you ask me, what the foreigners rely on is nothing more than sharp firearms, and water can defeat fire. We can choose a rainy day to fight the foreigners. The foreigners have lost the power of firearms and can only rely on bayonet formations to defend the enemy. When the time comes, we

First throw spears to break the foreigners' bayonet array, then stab them with spears."

"Yes." Taigong Hu nodded: "Mr. Hu, you can be our military advisor. My legs are aching a little today. According to my many years of experience, it seems that it will rain tomorrow afternoon. You should make good use of it."

"Yes, Grandpa."

After Taigong Hu finished speaking, he walked down the steps with the help of others and walked back slowly with a cane.

Zhang Cheng, who returned home at noon, saw the images brought back by Lu'er's clone and exclaimed: "Hey, the plot has developed to the great victory of Hujiazhuang!"

Sister Baihu, who was watching the video on the other side: "Do you think the villagers can win?"

Zhang Cheng: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. This Hujiazhuang has been operating in the local area for many years, so it must be a local snake. Those foreign soldiers from the cowardly country are considered dragons across the river.

However, in my opinion, one of the biggest problems of the foreign soldiers is that they treat the people and the court as one individual. This is not a sect. The sect can stand because the sect is strong enough.

The reason why foreigners can gain a foothold here is not because they are strong enough, but because the court here is too cowardly. That's all.

Let’s talk about a simple numerical issue. If the Western Allied Forces send troops together, they can send about one million troops here. Of course, the total number of foreign troops is more than this, but supporting one million troops to fight in a foreign country is very difficult for the logistics of the foreigners.

, is already the limit.

But here in the Flower Country, there are hundreds of millions of people, so it is no problem to mobilize Wan Qing Zhuang. Even if Wan Qing Zhuang is armed with cold weapons, it will not be able to compete with a million-strong army."

Sister Baihu: "But it's not easy to mobilize Wan Qingzhuang, isn't it?"

Zhang Cheng: "Aren't the foreigners sending millions of troops now? So the manpower advantage is still on Hujiazhuang's side."

Sister Baihu: "Don't we need to do anything?"

"It still needs to be arranged." Zhang Cheng thought for a while and asked Lu'er to give Miranda a thunder elixir: "This is a reward given to you in advance. I have something for you to do. There have been an increase in rats nearby recently. Please bring it with you."

A basket of poisonous steamed buns is used to kill rats. Remember to take the poisonous steamed buns home via Qingshui Bridge in the second half. That’s it.”

"Yes, sir." After saying that, Miranda took the thunder elixir.

During the gathering the next day, Zhang Cheng saw foreign soldiers leaving the city again. Last time, there were only one group of thirty foreign soldiers. This time, there were four groups of more than 120 foreign soldiers.

The man who led the way for the foreign soldiers was Hu Chishi, who was born in Hujiazhuang and converted to foreign religion after killing his parents.

Hu Chishi studied in the clan of Hujiazhuang since he was a child. Later, with the support of his parents, he went to Dongfang City to study for more than ten years.

.It really broadened your horizons.

In Hu Chishi's opinion, the imperial court was defeated by the Westerners on both sides, and now it has lost all self-confidence. Nowadays, the first-class people in the concession are naturally foreigners. The second-class people are the Japanese devils who work with the foreign devils. Imperial officials

In the concession, people can only be counted as third class people. Others can only be counted as fourth class people.

This made Hu Chishi find it unacceptable. He had been a scholar for twenty years since childhood, but after finishing twenty years of reading, he became a fourth-class person.

Then what’s the point of studying hard? The coolies on the docks and the beggars on the streets are also fourth-class people!

After becoming hysterical, Hu Chishi decided to upgrade his level. The first-class people are all foreigners. If he was not born in a foreign country, he would not be able to do it. He could only hope to be born in a foreign country in the next life.

The third class of people are court officials, but now even a Japanese devil dares not to give face to court officials. Besides, to be an official in the court, what is needed is not true talent and learning, but deep connections, which I do not have, unless

The daughter of a married woman has fallen in love with him, but he is already thirty years old and has not waited for this day.

There is no chance of being a third-class person for the time being.

Then I have no choice but to be a second-class Japanese. How can I put it this way? I am also a second-class person. Only below the foreigners.

With the ambition of the foreigners, they will definitely not be satisfied with the current size of the concession. When the foreigners occupy the entire Flower Kingdom, they will be the first-class people everywhere, and by then, they will be able to move to this country.

The second class of people. Maybe because they defected early, they can still work as prostitutes in the new court of Huaguo supported by foreigners.

These are all normal logical developments.

He only regretted that his parents refused to follow him to convert, so there was nothing he could do. Those who do big things do not stick to trivial matters. Taking advantage of the night, Hu Chishi, who failed to persuade his parents to convert, killed his parents with a sickle and took their parents' heads while he was there.

I went to the church in the concession at night and announced my conversion.

The foreign church is very welcoming to the natives who come to convert with the first name certificate.

If you want to conquer every place, you have to rely on the foreigners' own troops to kill. The number of foreigners is really not enough now. Facts have long proved that even if the indigenous people in various places do not have foreign guns and cannons, they can still use stones, bows and arrows, and hatchets.

, wooden sticks and other simple weapons and tools to kill foreign invaders.

Foreigners have many years of colonial experience. The best way to colonize is to recruit a group of people and fight them. Especially those guys who have just converted to foreign religions and paid the first name certificate of their families are the ones who need to prove their loyalty the most and will not hesitate to do so.

He hesitated to help foreigners kill his former compatriots.
