Chapter 54 Intention

Li Jundu returned to his villa, lay on the bed, wrapped his chest, abdomen and left arm with gauze, drizzled some pig blood, and asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription to make medicine, which made the whole room smell like. He himself took a pair of calming the gods and fell asleep to avoid the storm that would be later.

As Li Jundu expected, Bai Rong'an, who was in charge of the provincial capital security, arrived at the scene as soon as possible and sent back the news of the assassination and injury of the British King. Then, Chen Dachun, the senior officials of Guangdong and Guangxi, Li Beiji, and two members of parliament, arrived at the British King's villa. Originally, Li Beiji and the two members of parliament were supervising and accountable on behalf of the parliament, but after such a matter, all the agreed plans were thrown out of the sky, especially Li Beiji, dressed in a guise dress and was domineering. He brought more than a hundred marines to the villa and surrounded them directly and walked in with a whip. When he saw the British King's guards, he beat them up, like a furious Tyrannosaurus Rex. No one dared to move forward or speak.

"Idiot, damn guys. Are you consuming your brain or blind? You actually get close to King Ying. If you are in front of the formation, you must hang all of you on the mast and expose yourself to death!" Li Beiji whipped the people in the guards one by one, and greeted them according to their faces. The guards knew that Li Jundu was pretending to be assassinated and were not injured, so they did not dare to say anything at this moment, let alone explain anything.

The British King's guards were all from the navy and the Marines. They were selected by Li Jundu when he was expeditioning the Indian Ocean with the Grand Fleet to fight against the European Combined Fleet. Li Beiji was the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet back then. The guards all recognized Li Beiji. Li Jundu and Li Beiji had a deep relationship. Li Beiji was not only an imperial admiral, the commander of the Indian Ocean Navy, but also the apprentice of the imperial emperor. When he was young, he was the commander of the imperial fleet who was decisive in the imperial fleet. During the Battle of Java, he led battleships and heavy patrols to face Dutch warships and artillery fired desperately to attack the array. People who came down on the battlefield had no good temper. Seeing Li Jundu lying on the bed seriously injured, Li Beiji was extremely angry.

"And you bastards, you know that Xiang Yuqian and report to the Congress, saying that the King of England valued cruel officials, hunted and killed the heroes, and clamored for violating the imperial constitutional code and abused their power. Open your eyes and saw what the heroes and nobles in your mouth did, and they dared to assassinate the king and kill the king. It can be seen that the rebellious wolf man is ambition. Tell you that King of England is fine. If something happens to the King of England, let alone the men in prison, you and the few big mouths in Nanjing, all of them must be buried with them. Investigate the martial law of the four provinces, block all the traffic routes, and investigate them hard. They must find out all the commanders behind the scenes and insiders, and no one can escape. If there is any suspicion, they must catch the whole family and ask, check it! If they die, check it..."

Li Beiji was furious and cursed, and the country's congressmen were silent and did not dare to say a word. You know, when Li Jundu was mourning in Qiongzhou, they spoke a lot for the vassal ministers and gentry, and they also said that the King of England abused his power and opened a prison without ban. But now that the King of England was assassinated, things completely changed. Are their remarks speaking for the traitors and thieves? A hat of a complicity was taken down and it would be over for a lifetime.

After taking the pill of calming the gods, Li Junduo was preparing to have a sleep first and wait for these veterans, congressmen and local officials to quarrel before "wake up" before lying on the bed, but he found that Li Beiji, Dinghai, blocked the guards in the yard as soon as he entered the door, and he could no longer pretend to be unconscious, because he still had many tricks that the guards needed to do. If they were done by others, they might be exposed.

"Water...water...give me some water..." Li Jundu still remembers when he was young, Li Mingxun hugged him and told a joke. When he woke up in a coma, the first thing he must have was water. He is using it now.

"Come on, your highness is awake, your highness is awake." The person guarding the bed shouted loudly.

Li Beiji and others rushed into the room, all around Li Jundu's bed. Li Beiji pushed and shouted, "Get out of the way, you will be bored."

"Dinghai Gong, why are you... here?" Li Jundu asked pretending to be unaware. Although he was not injured, he took the sanitary medicine. It was when the medicine was effective, so he looked very unintended. This was similar to the injured person after serious injury.

Li Beiji held Li Jundu's hand: "I was going back to Penang, but I was sent by the Senate to come to Guangdong to take a look. Some bastards with a rebellious head said to you in Nanjing. I think it's time to clean up and clean up! Jundu, how are you injured?"

"I just feel pain all over my body, especially my arms." Li Jundu said.

Li Beiji shouted: "Where is the military doctor?"

"I am not a job." The military doctor walked out from behind the crowd. When Li Beiji saw that he was also an old acquaintance. This military doctor was searched for by Li Jundu when he was expeditioning to the Indian Ocean. Although Li Jundu was not useful, his medical skills were fully demonstrated in naval battles, and even Li Beiji had received his favors.

The military doctor was Li Jundu's confidant and was ready. With a wave of his hand, a man came with a copper basin. The water in the copper basin was dyed red, and there were a few pieces of broken glass and iron sheets inside. The military doctor said: "The explosion was outside the car. His Highness was in the car. The solid wood door blocked most of the fragments, but the glass was shattered, which injured His Highness's torso. Fortunately, His Highness has a fortune of great wealth and no internal organs. All the fragments were taken out, and there was a little blood loss. It took a long time to recuperate..."

"Thank you, it's better if you didn't hurt the internal organs. Military doctor, the King of England's arm is fine." Li Beiji asked. He was used to life and death. He knew that as long as the internal organs were not hurt, there would be no major problems. It would be enough to prevent infection, but he was also worried about his arms and was afraid of amputation.

The military doctor said: "The arm was just a minor injury, but it might have been bumped. I checked it out and there was no fracture. The severe pain is very likely to be a fracture and will not hurt my life."

The stone in Li Beiji's heart completely fell to the ground. He smiled and said, "I knew you were lucky. I remember that we fought the group of red-haired, big noses in the Indian Ocean, and all three fleets rushed to the battle line of foreigners. The flagships were injured. Marshal Simmons and I were both flew, but you, the commander of the fleet, were not even injured. Such strong winds and waves came, and you would not capsize in this stinky ditch..."

Li Jundu asked: "Didn't you catch the survivor? What about the survivor?"

The guard stumbled over and said as if he was dead, "Sir Zhao is going to go, saying that he is going to capture the culprit..."

"Then why are you standing there? Why don't you help? The people from the liquidation committee will catch the culprit and ask your guards to do!" Li Jundu gave the guard a wink, and the guards hurriedly took the people away.

Obviously, when things have developed to this point, it is no longer a problem of over-liquidation. Assassination of the king and the killing of the emperor is a major case of rebellion. The liquidation operations of the four southwestern provinces have taken the trend to suppress rebellion and suppression of rebellion. People from Nanjing and local officials from the four provinces who were originally distracted must hide their thoughts and turn from disruptors to helpers in order to choose themselves.

The group of people who had originally come to seek punishment were at this moment, and they could only gather in front of the King of England, and listen to the emperor. They were sent by the commander of the eight provinces in the southwest to carry out a larger-scale liquidation and house search. When Chen Dachun and others came out of the villa, the city of Guangzhou was already in chaos and martial law was in the whole city. The troops outside the city joined the ranks of house searches. The originally lively night market was sparsely populated at this moment. When recalling the prosperity of Guangzhou, Chen Dachun looked a little dim.

"Duke Da, don't you think it's too coincidental to the assassination of the British King?" In the four-wheeled carriage, MP Chen Tingshu asked in a low voice. He was the younger brother of the late Ming Dynasty Chen Tingyang. He joined the imperial nationality when he fought against the Qing Dynasty in the southeast. He first engaged in shipping trade, and then settled in Nanhua. He was a senior member of parliament with great influence in the parliament. Because of his relationship with the former Ming Dynasty and his impeccable identity, he was the representative of the House of Commons to come to the southwest.

Chen Dachun and Chen Tingshu are both from Songjiang Prefecture and are old acquaintances, so they are naturally much more convenient to speak. Chen Dachun said: "What coincidence is it? Can you still peel off the gauze on the King of England to see the wound? I dare not say anything else, the southwest liquidation is also what the emperor is willing to see."

"How could this happen? The three feudals in the southwest surrendered, and all the vassal ministers and gentry made contributions. The emperor gave them the title of merit and promised to apply the imperial decree three years later to allow them to adapt. One by one, the emperor agreed to it in person." Chen Tingshu said.

Chen Dachun smiled: "The three provinces have produced one king and five kings, and dozens of marquis and uncles. They also have influence in the Senate. They also offer the three provinces to worship the empire as orthodox and end the rule of the former Ming Dynasty in the most decent way. If the emperor did not even express these achievements, it would be too unreasonable."

Chen Tingshu nodded: "What do you mean is this the King of England's own decision?"

Chen Dachun thought for a while and said, "Who knows? It's just one day earlier or one day later. I originally thought that I had to take action after resolving the rebellion of Pingxi. It seems that I underestimate the Emperor and the King of England."

"What, does Da Gong believe that he will suffer this disaster?" Chen Tingshu's face was full of surprise.

"That's natural!" Chen Dachun sighed and said, "You just said that the emperor gave the southwest tyrants three years of adaptation period, allowing them to slowly obey the imperial laws, but you have seen the reactions of the southwest over the past six months. The southwest tyrants, whether the former Ming royal family, the children of the Three Francisco or the gentry doctors, are there any abolition of slavery, are there any taxes based on real numbers, and are some taking the initiative to pay firearms? No! No one really obeys the emperor's will and slowly approaches the new policy of the empire. They help each other hide and fight against the new policy, one by one, one by one, one by one, and waits for three years to go back to the new policy and three more days later. In the year, it will be left unresolved. Those who can see the current situation clearly, but those who can see the current situation clearly and have influence all went to Nanjing and Beijing. The southwest tyrants were in a mess and would cause trouble sooner or later. Not to mention that, during the funeral of King Qiongzhou, Zhao Wenting arrested the enemies. Those people were not wronged at all. They all had handwritten letters, handwriting, signatures and seals obtained from the rebellion of Pingxi. No one could tell them, but what the southwest tyrants said was not sheltering and concealing, and some even dared to clamor in the newspaper, pointing to the current emperor directly, which was a way to die."

"But I always feel that the King of England did it on purpose and had to be in trouble with them." Chen Tingshu said, lowering his voice and asked, "Duke Da, do you think this matter will expand? It involves Nanjing, and even affects the court. You have to know that the King of England handled a case of embezzlement and hoarding in Jiangnan last year. Although he arrested a uncle, in the parliament, both veterans and congressmen were so angry that they were so angry that they were both the elders and the members of the parliament were so angry that they were so angry that they were not looking for the King of England. Whether they handed over the letter or the newspapers of public opinion, they were not looking for the King of England. Will the King of England use this excuse to fight up and finally make another day change, so that the Emperor becomes the real emperor!"

When Li Mingxun ascended the throne, he made a political promise to be emperor but not to implement the imperial system. He also continued to delegate power to the cabinet and parliament in Nanjing. The affairs of Taiping Province were no longer involved in the affairs of the military and political affairs. However, people like Chen Tingshu had a stone in their hearts, for fear that the imperial system would revive and that many years of operations would be destroyed.

"No, if the emperor had that idea, he would do it directly when he was elected as emperor. How could he use this idea? Besides, the King of England only took more than a month to go to Guangdong, so how could he have time?" Chen Dachun denied repeatedly.

Chen Tingshu said: "But what do you think of the King of England? He did this and liquidated the Three Feudals of the Southwest, and he could only offend people."

"Being the emperor is not easy to do things that cannot be done, and it is the greatest filial piety of the King of England." Chen Dachun said this for no reason. Seeing that Chen Tingshu hesitated, Chen Dachun said again: "What the King of England does is beneficial to the country and the people, and is not favored by officials at all levels. It is a blessing for us."

Only then did Chen Tingshu realize that the more people the King of England offended, the less he could not inherit the throne. This was more reassuring than the fact that he had made the legitimate son the crown prince.

"Even if you don't climb up, you're afraid of going down. You have to know that there are many things that are not in line with the imperial legal system," Chen Tingshu said worriedly.

"But that is not the jurisdiction of the King of England, and it is also the company's control. Why do you and I have to worry?" Chen Dachun didn't care. He thought for a while and said, "I thought the King of England was in charge of the military and politics of the southwest, and was responsible for destroying and pacifying the Wu thieves in the Western vassals. What he did in these days seemed to be the opportunity to reorganize the rivers and mountains of the southwest, first investigate the enemy and then make plans to rebel. This is to completely clear the feudal remnants of the southwest. In my opinion, things may not be that simple. The chieftains of the southwest provinces are also on the King of England's liquidation list, but I don't know if it was before the Wu thieves or after the Wu thieves."
