C2134 The Governor of the Chang Sheng Jun (2/2)

But when Zai Chun shook his hand and reached to the end of the line, an accident happened. Furthermore, it attracted the attention of all the reporters present, and this scene was recorded in a burst of footsteps.

Originally, when Zai Chun was about to shake hands with a British officer, the officer didn't extend his hand out, but used both of his hands to pat his sleeves, and then kneeled on the ground with one knee.

He only heard a weird Chinese voice coming out of his mouth, ”This official …” Chang Sheng Jun Governor, Charlie? Qiao Zhi? Gordon, Greetings Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live, long live,! ”

Zai Chun was startled, even Da Sixi who was using the umbrella almost threw the yellow umbrella onto the ground with a shake of his hands. Looking at a British officer bowing to Emperor of Qing, everyone was stunned.

Zai Chun obviously didn't know much about the background of the Chang Sheng Jun, and was extremely unfamiliar with Gordon's name. This couldn't be blamed on his, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's, fiercest years of fighting, being only seven or eight years old, and not able to remember all of the officials. Being able to remember Ceng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and a few other limited people was already considered not bad.

Da Sixi obviously did not understand what was going on either. He quickly turned his pleading gaze to his master behind him.

Xiao Letian was also shocked, he was not because of the appearance of Gordon, but because of the huge sum of money he spent, in order to curry favor with Zai Chun, he actually instigated such a famous person called Gordon.

Damn, just how many benefits did he receive from secretly kneeling? This was praising Zai Chun too much.

There was no time to be lost in thought, Xiao Letian quickly smiled and said, ”Your Majesty, did you forget that when the hair on your head was in disarray, there was a Gun team in Shanghai? ”She's that foreign Self Guard who fought with Little Saber during the bloody battle …”

”Later on, the imperial government bestowed a name to the Chang Sheng Jun, and this Sir Gordon was the third Regional Commander of the Chang Sheng Jun … You don't have to be surprised, he really is the general bestowed by the Great Qing, the imperial government is giving him a salary! ”

Gordon had lived in China for many years, and he had a basic understanding of Chinese. With the support of the translators behind him, he quickly understood what Xiao Letian was trying to say.

”Yes, my His Majesty! I am the Director General of the Ministry of War, and I earned my position through bloody battles! They weren't exchanged for money … Dirty … ”Dirty officials!”

Aha! Zai Chun immediately laughed: ”You even know about donors? It looks like you're really a Chinese hand! Did this count as meeting an old friend in another village? Will the court pay you your salary now? ”

”Rise, quickly rise!” Zai Chun did not forget himself. He did not dare allow Sir Gordon to kneel for a long time.

Gordon stood up with a completely flushed face, ”No, I haven't given it to you for years. I didn't ask for it, and the imperial government doesn't even bring it up... Of course, they didn't say that they would remove my official position. In any case, it's still half a world away, so even if the imperial government wanted to send it to me, it wouldn't be possible! ”

Zai Chun clapped his hands together, turned around and said to Da Sixi: ”Remember, you must definitely settle this matter well! This is the doing of our Great Qing! Since the official position has not been removed, how can we not pay him a salary? ”

”Do you want to calculate properly and owe me a few years' salary? This Emperor will first take out his own pocket to make up for it! I can't let this disheartened me! ”

Gordon was so excited that tears started to appear in his eyes. He did not care about the amount of silver, but about his face.

”Your Majesty! I ask to be a guide with you! ”I am your official, I can't just take your salary and not work for nothing!”

”Hahaha …” As long as it does not detain you from working in England, my door will always be open to you! ”
