Zhang Yiping sees that this man is a brigadier general and a brigade commander, and he should be the supreme commander of this British army.
But Zhang Yiping has no interest in this British official. He wry smile way: "What is this good thing? It’s not a beautiful little English bitch. An old guy is crazy about chrysanthemums. I’m not interested in killing him and violating the Zhiwa Convention. Aren’t you giving me trouble? "
When Hu Congfu heard this, he asked, "What do you mean by chrysanthemum violence? I’m interested if you’re not interested, because I always like new things. "
Chapter 54 Waiting for an Englishman
-Beg for recommendation and collection. Brother, please start collecting! －－－
Zhang Yiping: Hu Congfu explained what it means to "explode chrysanthemums" and then said, "Just as you really dare to explode this Englishman’s chrysanthemums, I will remember your great achievement and write your feat in the History of Europe."
Hu Congfu’s eyes showed admiration. "I’ve never been a tiger in a group seat. Today, I really realized how heavy the chrysanthemum is, but you have to cut it into history as a great feat and an elegant thing to remember!" You can think of such a great idea. I admire you like the Yangtze River … "
"It is the most practical to sell less!"
Just as Zhang Yiping recognized this guy’s reputation, he gave himself up, but when the wind turned, "But! I’d better leave this great achievement to the shopkeeper Sheng, who has never looked for a woman in France. Maybe he is interested in this Englishman, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m proud of those Englishmen who are’ violent’ and’ shit’! "
"Cut!"
"If you don’t like this guy, I’ll kill him!" Hu Congfu drew a dagger frame and the neck of a British officer was about to be scratched!
British officers screamed in horror and cried out in English, "No, I am protected by the Zhiwa Convention. You can’t kill me!" "
Zhang Yiping waved his hand and said to Hu Congfu, "This Englishman is right. We can’t violate the stipulation that there are prisoners in the Zhiwa Convention. We should do as the Romans do in Europe and we can’t kill him."
The proud tiger moved the dagger and said, "Don’t kill him? Is it really disgusting to leave it to the shopkeeper to smash his chrysanthemums? "
"Be careful that the shopkeeper tells you to slander!" Zhang Yiping said, "Tell Cheng Siliang to examine him and see if he has any British intelligence. If he doesn’t let himself hurt himself, then let him go."
Zhang Yiping doesn’t want to take prisoners with him, which will slow down the speed of the troops, but if he lets those prisoners go, he won’t be reconciled, because these prisoners may take up arms against him again, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
In addition, he doesn’t want to kill prisoners in violation of the Zhiwa convention so that prisoners can self-harm. Although this is a bit inhumane, it is the best solution, which not only saves their lives, but also does not violate international conventions. After prisoners self-harm, they can’t take up arms against the’ salary group’ for at least a short time. This is the most important thing.
It is also a good thing for prisoners to leave the army after self-mutilation and return to China without fighting.
It’s a little cruel, but it’s a two-way street.

When the two brigades of the 265th Division of the Fourth Regiment of the British Expeditionary Force were five kilometers away from the battlefield, the’ Wage Corps’ had already cleaned the battlefield and retreated in the direction of Cauteret Town.
After the two brigades of the 265th Division joined together, they came to ambush the battlefield filled with smoke, but when they saw the tragic situation on the battlefield, they involuntarily stopped their pursuit and dared not push too close to the’ salary group’.
The commander of the 265th Division is Major General Harrison. He traveled with the second trip to valois Town last night. When he saw the tragic situation on the battlefield, he was also secretly stunned.
Well, his division didn’t accompany the third brigade, otherwise he would probably have been lying in this large pile of bodies.
Major-General Harrison was moved by the loss of the third brigade, but he was also secretly shocked. It took only half an hour to destroy a British infantry brigade with more than 4,000 people. The combat effectiveness is not as strong as usual.
According to the intelligence, there are 6,000 people in the "salary-seeking group", but how can 6,000 people destroy a brigade with 4,000 people in such a short time? Even if the third brigade is ambushed and suddenly attacked, it is impossible because the third brigade is not those cowardly French soldiers, but a very effective force.
Therefore, Major General Harrison thinks it is necessary to re-examine the information of a "salary-paying group" and stop pursuing the "salary-paying group" at the same time, because random attacks will cause greater losses because of the lack of information.
Major General Harrison said, "China’s Sun Yat-sen’s Art of War says that knowing ourselves and knowing ourselves is invincible, but the regiment army staff officers know that the’ wage-seeking regiment’ is composed of a group of Chinese workers, with about 6,000 people. Besides, a stubborn British staff officer still subjectively infers the combat effectiveness of the’ wage-seeking regiment’. Even after knowing the fact that the’ wage-seeking regiment’ has repeatedly destroyed the French infantry regiment, they still stubbornly believe that the’ wage-seeking regiment’ has no combat effectiveness."
Keith, the staff officer of the next school, said, "How can those cowardly French reserve infantry regiments be compared with our British Imperial Army?"
Major General Harrison roared, "Bullshit! It is you who do not know the so-called staff officers that caused the third brigade to suffer today. Although French soldiers are weak, they still have some fighting capacity. Can ordinary workers do this? Now they have wiped out more than 4,000 people in one brigade and four regiments in half an hour. Remember it was wiped out! 歼! "
"The combat effectiveness of this unit has exceeded my imagination!" Major general Harrison said with a sigh
Case school said, "The general’s third brigade was just accidentally ambushed by China people, which I believe won’t happen again."
"Of course it won’t happen again because they are all dead!" Major General Harrison murmured
"General, I mean, we will be careful not to be fooled by China people again!"
Major General Harrison looked up at the sky, and the sun had risen very high. The sun was shining on the earth, and the white fog had been dispersed. The morning wind was blowing, and the temperature was neither too cold nor too hot, which made people feel comfortable.
It would have been a wonderful mor, Major-General Harrison thought, if there were no blood everywhere.
Major-General Harrison breathed a long and gentle breath as if to rule out the smell of blood inhaled into the lungs. "You said that we should be careful to deal with China people who especially like ambushing. They have an example called Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is full of ambushes. It seems that they will not do it except ambushing. We should be careful. If they miss the ambush, they can’t wait for us. We can annihilate them in one fell swoop with the strength advantage."
"General coup!" Keith school flatteringly said

The "salary-seeking regiment" retreated behind the second battalion, and then the regimental headquarters guard company was established.
Zhang Chang personally reported to Zhang Yiping on horseback that it was a little strange that two brigades of the 265th Division of the Fourth Regiment of the British Expeditionary Force did not follow.
Zhang Yiping just laughed. "What’s strange about this? So many people are dead who are not afraid? The Brits must have been scared by us to come. It’s not funny. Why don’t we wait for them? "
"Anyway, the brothers were tired after driving all night last night. I ordered the troops to enter Cauteret Town to rest, so that the health company Ouyang could cook a little ginger syrup. Every brother drank a little to get rid of the cold. Last night, I heard that several brothers had coughs."
Qu Weisheng sent the order.
Zhang Yiping said to Zhang Chang again, "Come on, let’s go to Cauteret town, and maybe we can talk to one or two obese widows for a day!"
Zhang Chang said, "I’m precious when I’m in the dark. Sometimes I always get down to business when chatting."
Zhang Yiping said, "Is it necessary to chat? This can enhance the feelings of the French people. It is very important for us to make a living in France. "
Zhang Yiping uncharacteristically became talkative.
"Well, my Lord, if you think it’s necessary, we’ll go to the French home and chat with French women," Zhang said naively.
"It’s best to eat a piece of bread and drink a little red wine," Zhang Yiping said. "It would be perfect if another fat woman rubbed her feet on her back!"
Chapter 55 Lurking
-Continue to seek recommendation and collection! －－－
Of course, Zhang Yiping’s visit to folk houses is not just about eating bread and drinking red wine, but about verifying his discovery.
The next time he came to Cauteret town, he found that the architectural style here was a little different from other places, so he left a little thought. This time, he will visit every house and verify it one by one.
The’ Wage Corps’ entered the 265th Division of the British Army in Cauteret Town and stopped about two kilometers away from Cauteret Town to closely monitor the movements of the’ Wage Corps’ in Cauteret Town.
Cauteret Town, a "wage-paying group", is carefree and does not rest assured that the British army behind it should eat and sleep.
In the evening, the’ salary group’ left Cauteret town and took the town away. Most of the French people are women and children.
Major General Harrison is squinting at the bottom of a tree, and a tall French beech is growing less than ten meters away from him.
This French beech tree has a plump trunk and spectacular foliage. It is as noble as a king in the whole forest. Every branch and every cluster of leaves are so solid, and the outline shows such vitality, uniqueness and confidence.
However, Case School rode a tree and held a telescope in the direction of Cauteret Town. His flabby appearance, coupled with his frightened expression and indecent movement when he climbed the branch, did not match this beautiful tree.
Keith’s school cap is crooked and colorful, which is not allowed for a British official, but for work needs, Major General Harrison will turn a blind eye to blame.
Case School suddenly slipped from the tree and came to Major General Harrison and reported that "General China people have left Cauteret Town and taken away some French people, mostly women, children and the elderly".
To observe the enemy’s situation, Major General Harrison has to do it himself, but the terrain of Cauteret Town is not good. There are plains here, and there are no mountains for Major General Harrison to observe from afar, so he can climb to the tree to observe.
Major General Harrison is a man of status, a general, a gentleman, and a real gentleman. If he is not a monkey, he can’t climb trees. He can let Case School, the school staff, do it, and report to him when the observation room arrives.
Although Major General Harrison sometimes doesn’t trust Case School, there is no way to see an enemy’s movements through a telescope. This is not complicated. If Case School can even do this, he will really die.
Major-General Harrison opened his eyes and growled, "Shame on China people. Are we afraid to take these French hostages? How despicable! "
The case school said, "General, the hostages are just some French people, not our British imperial citizens. We have no obligation to protect the security of the people. They were kidnapped by China and accidentally injured in the process of saving them. It is possible, General!"
