Beijing?Gordon jumped to his feet. Beijing of course!Bai Qiwen sat down slowly: Gentlemen, I think you can easily understand that China's problems are not caused by the people, but by His Majesty the Emperor.The little emperor in Beijing was just eight years old, and two women called the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces played with him in the palm of his hand.Gentlemen, the political ecology of this land is primitive and savage.There is no civilization here, only the nastiest court intrigue.Our only setback on the battlefield came from the conspiracy of Li Hongzhang.What we saw in the city of Beijing was exactly the same dirty conspiracy as Li Hongzhang.Gentlemen, there is no political civilization in this land at all, only the rules of the game in the age of monkeys.Look at the countless women in the Forbidden Palace, they are young and beautiful, but they have become the personal playthings of the eight-year-old little emperor.This is the most typical monkey group game. The monkey king occupies all the females and monopolizes the privilege of inheriting the family.This backward and obscene game rule has caused this nation to sink.As you can see, the Chinese don't have any self respect, why don't they?Because power does not allow it!

Staring into Gordon's eyes, Bai Qiwen continued: Gentlemen, the reason why we sit here and talk freely is because we are all human beings and respect each other's personality.But in China, personality is a very terrible thing, and it will be ravaged and suppressed by both the power and the mob.The Chinese lack the most fundamental respect for people. They lack wisdom and courage, but they do not have the slightest conscience.Why?Just because power doesn't allow it!What power demands is slavishness, obedience, life and death.Conscience poses a challenge to power, because conscience allows people to distinguish between right and wrong, and when right and wrong are clear, what is the value of power?Gentlemen, let us unite and destroy the center of power in this country!Let us unite, like the heroic knights in the myth, to attack the poisonous dragon of power that spews flames, and save countless suffering creatures from despair.Gentlemen, have you heard the bitter cries of orphans and widows in this land?Have you heard the helpless cry of the dying?Did you hear that?Gentlemen, what is most lacking in this land is not order, but freedom from the shackles of power. Let us free them!Since God sent us here, we must take up our mission!

Gordon was stunned by Bai Qiwen's suggestion, and it took him a while to jump up wildly: Bai Qiwen, are you crazy?The people of this land are not ready for liberation.Moreover, your actions are not authorized by the corresponding country. Before your warship sails out of the sea, it will be bombed and sunk by the Huai army! At this time, Captain Davidson knocked on the table: Gentlemen, it is time for adjournment, please suspend the discussion and take a ten-minute break.thanks. The British and Americans are strange creatures.They were at the negotiating table, swords drawn, glaring at each other, and when the meeting was adjourned, they immediately became good friends in a lively conversation.

Everyone rested for a while, and then returned to the negotiating table.As soon as their butts hit the chair, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared immediately, and they entered a confrontation again. Bai Qiwen was the first to speak: How are you, gentlemen?I reiterate my suggestion once again. The brave and victorious army unites again, and welcomes the Huai army to join. Let us destroy the evil power that ravages this land, and let the light of God shine on this dark land. Gordon snorted coldly: "Bai Qiwen, let me ask you a question, why don't you suggest that I, an honorary soldier of Her Majesty, join your Taiping Army, eh?"why?

Bai Qiwen looked at Gordon: Because I have a better suggestion, are you satisfied with this answer? Satisfied, very satisfied!Gordon stood up, put his face close to Bai Qiwen, and said in a low voice: "Bai Qiwen, the reason why you made such a ridiculous suggestion is because you found that you couldn't gain a foothold in the Taiping Army."Is it this way?You only know that there are court intrigues in Beijing; you only know that Master Li Hongzhang likes to play tricks, but you have forgotten that compared to the Taiping Army in Nanjing, both Beijing and Li Hongzhang are much better.The city of Beijing is just a conspiracy, but the city of Nanjing is the cruelest and bloodiest massacre.Just in the city of Nanjing, at least 100,000 Taiping soldiers were killed by their own people simply because they hated each other.Bai Qiwen, you hate Master Li Hongzhang's schemes and defected to Suzhou, but it is obvious that the schemes in Suzhou City are even more terrifying!If you live comfortably, it is impossible to come here to negotiate with us, let alone make a ridiculous proposal without any feasibility.

Bai Qiwen blinked and said, "I can tell you clearly that the Nanjing side has given me great support. Hahaha, Mr. Gordon laughed loudly: Bai Qiwen, stop lying.The Taiping Army is definitely not treating you like you said, so admit it.It's hard for me to think of you as a gentleman if you don't admit it anymore. Bai Qiwen stared at Gordon angrily, and said after a long while: "Okay, I admit it." Then this matter will be easy to handle.Gordon said excitedly: "Please ask Captain Davidson to take notes. After you come back, I promise not to ask about your affairs."
