The sky was gloomy and it was drizzling. ◇↓◇↓Little◇↓◇↓Small◇↓

The day of the decisive battle was here, and Li Weiguo and Erjin led their respective troops to the battlefield as agreed. More than 200,000 people from both sides set off along the more than 30 kilometers of front line, with a grand momentum and a victory or defeat was about to be decided.

Li Weiguo personally supervised the battle today and wore a military uniform. He designed the Grand Marshal's uniform himself. It was comfortable and beautiful, with a very beautiful appearance. In addition, he wore an extremely crazy and sexy emperor sword. He rode on a high-headed war horse and looked at the sky. He had an imperial aura that looked down on the world, and instantly increased his majesty by 500%.

At this time, a British officer rode a horse in front of the two armies with a free-to-war flag, shouting in a broken Chinese and mixed with a strong Guangdong flavor: "Hisser Jin, the highest commander of the British and French coalition forces, invites His Excellency Li Weiguo, the governor of Liangjiang of the Qing Empire, to speak in front of the battle!"

As the decisive battle was about to come, Erjin suddenly invited Li Wei to speak in front of the BN. What did he want to do?

Wu Yong immediately stopped him and said, "Sir, don't go, this is probably a conspiracy!"

Chen Jingnan also suspected: "Do they want to assassinate the Lord in front of the formation?"

"You don't understand the thinking of Westerners when fighting. Let me tell you that the thinking in foreigners' minds is different from ours, just like the thinking of our men and women." Li Weiguo laughed and pointed to the two armies and said, "You see, the distance between the enemy and us is at least three miles away, and we are 1,500 meters away from each other. Even our snipers cannot accurately shoot at this distance, let alone foreigners. Their muskets do not have sniper lenses. Of course, they can shoot tens of thousands of people in a salvo, but even if I kill me, Erjin, will not survive, so you don't have to worry."

Li Weiguo's words made Wu Yong, Chen Jingnan and others relieve their doubts, but they were still a little worried.

At this time, Su Sanniang, who had been silent, spoke. She raised her arm to block Li Weiguo and said, "You say that men's thinking is different from women. Then I will tell you now that this is Erjin's conspiracy. If you go, you will die."

"Don't worry, I haven't fulfilled my family with you yet, why should I bear to die!" Li Weiguo was not afraid, but instead took the opportunity to grab Su Sanniang's snow-white hand and put it next to her mouth and kissed it twice.

"I'll tell you serious!" Su Sanniang was so angry that her body trembled, and she wanted to hit Li Weiguo with her backhand.

Li Weiguo was prepared for it and used his hand to lock her hand.

Nine years ago, Li Weiguo would definitely not be Su Sanniang's opponent. However, Li Weiguo has grown up now, and his long-term military training has made him strong. With the advanced fighting skills of later generations, he has completely defeated Su Sanniang.

Just as Li Weiguo and Su Sanniang were raising each other, Erjin was already riding a horse toward the middle in the British camp opposite. He shouted to Li Weiguo: "Mr. Li, don't you dare to come out? If you admit that you are timid, I can forgive you!"

This is a cruel provocation. More than 200,000 people on both sides were watching. The morale of the British and French coalition forces was as bright as the Shanghai army, and the Shanghai army was watching Li Weiguo. If he didn't go out, it would inevitably affect the overall morale of the Shanghai army. Even Li Weiguo's own reputation would be greatly damaged. After all, the Shanghai army is known for its bravery, and the timid people are looked down upon in the Shanghai army.

When people who have reached the status of Li Weiguo, countless people have watched his words and deeds.

"Didn't you see me talking to my wife? Why are you anxious?"

Li Weiguo shouted loudly, indicating that he would respond, which immediately boosted the morale of the Shanghai army.

Er was despised by Li Weiguo. He was speechless and angry.

"Madam, you have also seen it. If you don't go out for your husband, don't take this army well in the future!" Li Weiguo pushed Su Sanniang's arm away. The intention to leave was decided.

Su Sanniang was also a soldier. She understood Li Weiguo's mood at the moment and could only worry: "Then be careful!"

Li Weiguo immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, madam, why don't we make a bet. If I come back alive, will we settle the house? "

"You really know how to pick things!" Su Sanniang said coquettishly, shy and angry, but in the end she nodded in a vain way.

Li Weiguo suddenly laughed. When he thought that he would have sex with Su Sanniang after the battle, his small universe suddenly exploded, as if there was no more enemies in this world that he could not defeat and could not do.

At this time, Chen Jingnan suddenly said: "Master, be sure to retreat quickly after the conversation is over. I have already made the artillery ready!"

"I understand!" Li Weiguo nodded, understood Chen Jingnan's intention, so he rode his horse toward the center, which was one step faster than Erjin who was moving forward slowly and carefully.

In front of the two armies, Li Weiguo and Erkin met. For this decisive battle, both of them sacrificed their best and had to succeed at any cost.

But before that, Erjin had something to ask Li Weiguo clearly.

"Hisser Li Weiguo, I have three questions to ask you." Erjin said first.

"That depends on my mood!" Li Weiguo replied with a smile.

Erkin asked: "First of all, did you bomb the arsenal of our coalition forces in Hong Kong?"

"So what, so what, no?" Li Weiguo asked without answering a question, feeling that Erjin's question was a bit mentally retarded.

Erkin explained: "If it was you, then we will ask you for relevant compensation after winning the war. If it wasn't for you, then I need to find someone else to take responsibility. Of course, if you admit it would be the best, and I can save a lot of trouble."

Li Weiguo understood, but he smiled harmlessly: "If your country is willing to hand over Hong Kong to me for jurisdiction, then I am very happy to check it out for you to see who is so powerful, even the arsenal that you defend heavily can explode!"

Although Li Weiguo did not admit it, Erjin was already sure that it was Li Weiguo who did it, so he sneered: "So you are so narcissistic, it's great! The second question is, will you rebel?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you after the decisive battle. How about it?" Li Weiguo asked with a smile.

Erjin smiled bitterly. Li Weiguo really didn't reveal any words, but he still said unwillingly: "If you rebel, our British Empire is willing to help you."

Li Weiguo replied calmly: "I said that we will continue to cooperate after this damn war."

"Okay, the third question." Erkin sighed and continued to ask, "What do you mean when we are going to work together after the war?"

Li Weiguo's eyes lit up, and he knew that when he sent Liu Gang to stimulate Erjin, he said this must be effective. Now it seems that Erjin is indeed very interested in the proposal to work together to engage in the United States.

In fact, the United States at this time was like China in the 21st century. In the 21st century, China's economy rose rapidly, impacting the economic interests of capitalist countries led by the United States, and the Sino-US trade dispute continued to intensify, leading the United States to fabricate the Chinese threat theory and adopt a comprehensive military embargo and encirclement strategy.

Now in the 1860s, the US economy has risen rapidly, impacting Britain, and the economic interests of the traditional empires led by France, and the trade dispute between Britain and the United States and France has continued to intensify, resulting in traditional European powers such as Britain and France beginning to concoct the American threat theory and secretly instigating the disagreement between the United States and the South. Intent to split the United States and weaken the strength of the United States.

Li Weiguo knew that the American civil war would break out soon, and European powers such as Britain and France most wanted to see the United States split, so he would spare no effort to help the Southern Army fight against the Northern Army.

Now that I saw Erkin's expression, I guess he must have known some insider information and is even more interested in the United States.

So he said, "I mean very simply, the United States is our real enemy. Only when we work together can we curb the rise of the United States and even destroy the United States, right?"

Erkin was surprised. In his eyes, Asians were all primitive people, with too backward thoughts and no understanding of international politics at all, but Li Weiguo was an exception, which surprised him. He just wanted to see something from Li Weiguo's expression, but in the end he got nothing.

"I admit that we are afraid of the rise of the United States and want to curb the rise of the United States, but I don't understand what it has to do with you? Why do you say that we can destroy the United States?"

"Good question!"

Li Weiguo replied happily: "If I said I didn't want to see the British Empire replaced the world hegemony by the United States, do you believe it?"

Erjin rolled his eyes. It would be strange if he believed you.

Li Weiguo smiled slightly and continued: "The United States now has a larger land area than you in the UK and a larger population than you in the UK. The Great Lakes region of the United States has the largest reserves of coal and the best quality iron ore in the world. The most convenient water transportation, the steam engine you invented is expanding the industrial gap between you and the United States. I think your British senior executives have realized it a long time ago."

Erkin looked at Li Weiguo in surprise, and it was undeniable that what Li Weiguo said was correct, which was exactly the concern of the British senior officials about the threat of the United States. So he said: "So what? Even our British Empire has no certainty to defeat the United States. Why do you? Just because of you, a small governor of Liangjiang and 200,000 Shanghai troops, please, no one will believe it!"

Li Weiguo asked: "You must have learned about our advanced weapons and equipment such as water radium, ground radium, stray bullets, rear-mounted rifles, and rear-mounted artillery, right?"

Erjin changed color slightly, but said disdainfully: "It's just a trick. We suffered some small losses before, but that was just a city offensive and defensive battle, which does not mean that you can still win in the field!"

Li Weiguo was happy. All he wanted was Erjin's mentality. He was really afraid that Erjin would not dare to fight the Shanghai army in the field. Now he could feel relieved.

"If we sell these advanced weapons to the US Southern Army, do you think the Southern Army will easily destroy the Northern Army?"

"What the US Southern and Northern Army, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

Erjin was shocked and vaguely realized what Li Weiguo meant, but he didn't believe that Li Weiguo could be so powerful and caught up with the prophet.

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be confused with me. Lincoln, a Republican candidate, is about to win the US election. Don't tell me that your British government doesn't know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" Erkin asked subconsciously.

"War! The war between the two factions of the United States and the South!"

"I also know that you, Britain and France have long secretly transported weapons and ammunition to the Southern Army! You have already instigated the 11 southern states to prepare for rebellion!"

"Ah! How do you know? Impossible! There is no way you know this!" Erkin screamed in surprise, looking at Li Weiguo with an incredible look on his face, with a big mouth.

Erjin did know the inside story. This time, he actually had three purposes under the banner of expedition to the Qing Empire. One was to defeat the Qing Empire and seize the interests of the Far East. The second was that after defeating the Qing Empire, the remaining arms could be "passed by" the south of the United States openly and handed over a large amount of arms to the Southern Army. The third was to deliberately expand the scale of the coalition to 200,000 people, which was to pull the United States into the water, because the United States mobilized a large number of transport ships and provided a large amount of arms, grain, and US dollars to the British and French coalition forces, which was equivalent to participating in the war. The US government spent such a huge amount of military expenditure and materials to the British and French coalition forces, which was actually equivalent to weakening the weapons, ammunition, grain and US dollar reserves of the US Northern Army in disguise, and helped the Southern Army.

"Don't be surprised. I said I would cooperate with you to destroy the United States. Although the weapons and ammunition you hoarded in Hong Kong have been destroyed, I will help you. I will sell our Shanghai army's advanced weapons and equipment to the Southern Army. You don't have to worry about this!"

"It's you! You have planned it long ago!" Erjin gritted his teeth when he thought of the reimbursement of 50,000 muskets and 1,500 tons of ammunition in the Hong Kong Arsenal.

"I don't know what you are talking about?" Li Weiguo naturally would not admit it.

"You keep pretending to be stupid! You are in a position to be a diplomat!"

"Oh, is that so, I still have this ability? Thank you for reminding me!"

Li Weiguo looked ungrateful, and Erjin was so angry that he really wanted to beat him up.

"Tell me, how do you want us to cooperate? As long as we can destroy the United States, our British Empire is willing to put aside our past grudges and truce you!"

Erjin released his last trump card, and Li Weiguo was also shocked when he heard this.

I'm so cute, is it willing to truce the war in order to destroy the United States?

It would be strange if you believe you? You can go and lie!

I don’t believe your nonsense!

Li Weiguo was quickly in a dark heart and then said, "The truce is certain, but not now, because we two countries are still unequal now. You have occupied Hong Kong Island and dumped opium on us. There are still many unequal treaties that need to be abolished, so we can only drive you out completely, and then we sit down and talk about how to destroy the United States!"

"Are you playing tricks on me? You know that we can't accept these conditions!" Erjin said angrily.

"Whatever you understand! I've made it clear anyway!" Li Weiguo insisted.

"That's nothing to discuss?" Erjin turned black.

"It seems!" Li Weiguo spread his hands.

"Okay, I hope you can live until that time! Goodbye!" Erjin sneered, then turned his horse's head and ran back quickly.

"Goodbye! I hope you can survive until that time!" Li Weiguo sneered. He knew that Chen Jingnan had secretly ordered the artillery to aim at Erjin, so he hurriedly rode his horse to the Shanghai army's town.

Just as Li Weiguo and Erjin turned their horses to gallop towards their respective camps at the same time, the rumbling sound of cannons sounded, and they came from the rear of the Shanghai and British and French coalition forces at the same time.

"Damn, Erjin, you are so damn, you are actually going to bombard me with a gun!"

"Fake, Li Weiguo, you are so shameless that you actually attacked the commander with a cannon!"
