C3519 welcoming action (1/2)

Three days after the terrifying operation in the Bund, the belated Emperor Tongzhi had finally arrived at the entrance of the Huangpu River. This time, the Shanghai Road and the various forces in Jiangnan had learned their lesson from three days ago, and no longer dared to show off to their loved ones.

Envoys from various countries issued strict orders, every foreigner who attended the welcoming ceremony of the Tongzhi Emperor had to register at the envoy's hall, they had to hand over any weapons, and they had to conduct three strict searches after entering the Bund.

All the buildings in Bund, regardless of which country you are from, must be cleared, and all the high points must be guarded by trusted soldiers.

Chinese Marines, Shanghai Road's Great Clear Soldiers, Xiang Army's veterans' elites, and foreign selected sailors.

You occupy a building, I occupy a building, each with its own jurisdiction, each with its own jurisdiction and scope of responsibility. If even the slightest mistake during the Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom's homecoming ceremony, whoever gets the blame, they would have to be careful even if they were foreign devils.

Prince Chun, Weng Tonghe, Fu Qing and the other high ranking officials who had come to welcome them had arrived two days earlier than the Emperor Tongzhi, while Jiu Shuai, Li Hongzhang and the other generals of the Xiang Army were already waiting for them in Shanghai.

When the Chinese people were taking off the silver, the high officials of the Great Qing did not show their faces at all. However, after such an attack, Jiu Shuai, Li Hongzhang and the rest were all shocked, and at the most critical time, it was their Xiang Army who had the strongest control over Jiang Nan.

The welcoming citizens were all under the law of sit-down!

Jiu Shuai took control of the Shanghai Road and seized the rights to the Shanghai Road Stage. He ordered the Xiang Army to sink into the countryside and ten men from each village came out to meet the three of them.

The lives of these ten people were all linked together. As long as they could protect and receive the attention of the citizens, if they dared to disobey and see the head of ten people, their children would be sent to Zuo Zongtang as slaves.

Not only did the commoners have to sit down, even the local officials had to sit down as well. The Retention in the village, the inner guards, and the village chief had to sit down as well, all the way to the magistrate court.

If there were any problems with the people under their rule, even if they didn't die, they would still lose a layer of skin. If three generations of people managed the office, no one would be able to protect their job.

Furthermore, there's a quota list everywhere. It's fine if you don't have enough people, but you say that you're afraid of taking responsibility and intentionally giving away fewer people? Destroying the lively atmosphere of the celebration is also a capital offense!

The entire local economy has completely stopped. All the workshops with more than fifty workers gathered together, no matter what kind of reeling, pottery, or blacksmithing you are … In all walks of life, as long as there were more than fifty workers in the small workshop, they would all have to close the door for safety.

All the employees were on vacation and were sent flying out of Shanghai!

The people were not allowed to pour the toilet during these three days. All of the feces would have to be hidden in the houses and be stuffy.

There was a boat on the river? Are you kidding me? It's already so late and you still dare to do business? A group of beautiful boats were left behind, and the rest were all blasted away. The small boats went against the current to Min Xing and Jinshan, and the large boats went up the Yangtze River to the Changshu region.

From the intersection between the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River all the way to the Bund was a harmonious idyllic scene!

Along the two banks of the river, there were colored sheds and farmlands. The people didn't have any patched up clothes to wear. The river water was no longer polluted by the city and was washed clean by the water.

The small black caravan of Jiangnan cruises back and forth, the foreign devils' white sailboats are clean and dazzling, the steam ships are all top-grade white coal without black smoke coming out from them.

All he could see were paintings, and the beautiful scenery of the southern region was actually mixed with the colonial feeling of a foreign country!

The ninth day of the golden autumn, the Double Sun Festival!

Today, at 4 a.m., the carefully rehearsed commoners changed into the new clothes issued by the government officials. Each of them wore their new clothes so fast that it was impossible to walk on the streets.

The elders of the various villages and influential landlords brought the strong men of their families to maintain order. Each of them was in charge of their own village, and they quickly gathered the people together.

”South Bridge Little Zhang Zhuang, come here …” Come here and count everyone. There are sixteen of us in the village, so you are not allowed to lose even one of us! ”
