C3641 (1/2)
Damn murderer, Samuel thought. His notebook was the only thing in his mind, his mission to Asia! When he left, the Queen, Prime Minister Gladstone and even former Prime Minister Benjamin all called him over, hoping that he would make this trip to Asia.
Of course, Gordon was also a qualified spy, but this person was an officer after all. He could only judge the situation of the Hua Clan and the Great Qing Empire from a military and economic standpoint.
This person did not have that special perspective that allowed scholars to see history, which also meant that he was unable to formulate a century-old strategy against the Chinese and the Qing Empire!
This is what the British care about. They want a solution to the Chinese threat once and for all!
Samuel had already found the key, but he had not expected fate to play a joke on him. His body had collapsed in the distant western regions of China.
The British Expedition also did not know what happened, why did the other members of the same party get nothing after eating the pill, and why was the effect so good?
Why did Sir Samuel fall into a coma after eating it! You said the Chinese people poisoned it? However, many people had already tried out the poison and nothing happened. Furthermore, the ginseng used in the ingredients were the most valuable treasures, so Englishman would definitely be able to recognize it!
It could only be attributed to fate, or to the call of God, and Samuel had not survived!
”I don't want to pursue the culprit anymore. I want my notebook …” ”You guys give me a notebook, where is my secret …”
Samuel screamed in his heart, but the words only trembled slightly when they reached his mouth!
The sound of the wind, the sound of gunfire, the whinnying of the war horses … Outside the ruins of Jade Gate Pass, explorer Sai Mouerbeike died of an illness!
Even in death, he would never be at peace!
All the people in the Expedition stood up and took off their hats in silence. Many of them recalled the daily activities of Mr. Samuel, that amiable and knowledgeable scholar, Sir, and Pasha.
Everyone's eyes turned red, while his assistants and disciples all shed hot tears!
Friends of Great Qing, the death of the British Lord has encouraged Zuo Zongtang's cavalry to fight bravely. The scattered rebels stationed at the north side of the Jade Gate Pass has finally been killed and the Expedition can safely enter the Jiayuguan.
The Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom's royal decree had already reached here, the local garrison, in order to express their condolences for the death of this international friend, had actually ordered the entire city to welcome him, everyone had to welcome him.
When the British entered the Jiayuguan, they saw such a grand scene. Soldiers, civil servants and local citizens welcomed them with a total of forty to fifty thousand people.
Clothes, white flowers, scents, wine... Of course, there was also the unique Chinese paper money that flew all over the place!
This scene left the indignant Englishman dumbfounded, and her previous anger dissipated a little in the Chinese courtesy.
The so called ”extend your hand and not hit a smiling person”, you are dead, the Great Qing had set up such a sacrificial ceremony, from the officials to the citizens, they had all come to welcome you, you must be giving me a lot of face, right?
Moreover, it was not only the Jiayuguan, Tongzhi had also given strict orders. Samuel's corpse had returned to Beijing, and every time he went to any place, the local officials would organize a mass of people to mourn for him.
The commoners didn't understand who Samuel was, but he was good at telling the truth!
