Alcock's luxury carriage was pulled out, and two soldiers on the left and right supported him. As for all the staff of the embassy, ​​they were locked in a basement. After Alcock is released tomorrow, run back and unlock it by yourself.

Alcock, who was pushed into the carriage, looked at the other embassies in the distance. Most of their envoys were in Shanghai, and they were nervously dividing up the benefits they had just obtained in Qing. Naturally, the group of dragons has no leader, and it is impossible to come out to rescue him.

Besides, there are not many guards in their embassy, ​​maybe there are more than 100 together. The Yokohama Military Police Bureau has forty or fifty British people, but these military police are not soldiers, they gather together to live in barracks, and they are scattered in various districts of Yokohama. Some have a family, some are not keeping their heads up, and are sleeping soundly.

As for the hundreds of Japanese patrolmen, what kind of weapons are there other than a stick? It is impossible for the British to equip these Japanese with any firearms. It is a complete joke to expect to assemble them to fight back against Chuanxi soldiers.

The Yokohama residential area is five square miles in size, and this area alone is 13 square kilometers. In addition to the various Japanese settlements and industrial facilities built around the residential area, the scope has become larger. The embassy was bombarded, and some parts of the city were left unsettled.

Ugh…

How did things suddenly develop to this point, Alcock sighed secretly in his heart. But before his sigh lasted long, he realized that the direction of the carriage was the Yokohama Customs Building.

Good guy, he immediately guessed the thoughts of Lin Hachiro and the others. This is to wrap him up and attack Binhaiguan. If the Binhai Customs is broken, the millions of dollars in the customs are unimaginable.

"You'd better cooperate with us, after all, there is only one life." Lin Hachiro was expressionless, but there was a bright threat in his tone.

"..." Alcock opened his mouth.

When a human being is excited and excited, if he dies, he will die, and he may not even have any regrets when he dies. But as soon as the most tense time passed, the spirit was down, and after that, it became the most cherished life.

Some people were very determined when they jumped into the river, but after drinking two sips of cold water, the desire to survive instantly came up. If you see someone jumping into the water to save him, hold on tighter than anything else.

Not long after, everyone came to the Binhaiguan Building. At this time, a small team of Shikawa Zensuke, who was ordered to block the Binhai Customs Building, immediately reported to Lin Hachiro that no one entered or exited the customs except for a few officers on duty.

"Please!" Lin Hachiro asked Alcock to call the door.

Although there were no armed personnel in Binhaiguan, Lin Hachiro did not dare to shoot indiscriminately. If he killed the staff who could open the gate of the vault, their plan would be over.

Although they are bold, they are not mindless. Taking three to five hundred people to attack Biao Ao is too risky. It is still necessary to use the money in Binhaiguan to coerce other troops in Yokohama, and then use these people to attack Edo Castle head-on. Their cronies entered the city through secret passages.

When the time comes, it will be possible to break the solid Edo by attacking both inside and outside.

If the troops are under the Edo Castle, it will not take long, at most one to two hours, and the senior members of the Makue under the city will react, then they will definitely fail.

There are seven or eight thousand veterans of the training team stationed at the foot of the Edo Castle, not to mention the number of direct crushing, even the weapons and equipment are better than those of them.

After all, the first Edo division was an elite soldier compiled and trained by the shogunate generation samurai, and the Hachioji Hachioji of Wushu as the backbone. After so many years, he has been extremely loyal to the shogunate. And they all use imported and self-produced rear-mounted Dreiser firing pin firing guns, which can hit you five or six times a minute, no joke at all.

In addition, they did not die of their comrades, nor were they owed wages by the shogunate. From the officers to the soldiers, they all turned to the shogunate. In order to make a career for myself by joining the army, I was about to say that the Tokugawa family must be my biological father.

Zhang Zongchang, a warlord in later generations, had a white Russian soldier who was well-supported, and all of them called Zhang Zongchang my father. For Zhang Zongchang to fight the world, that is to risk his life to fight. It's just because every war begins, he is not afraid of death, and in the end he is unworthy of three or four years, and all of them are wiped out. But Zhang Zongchang also sat on the throne of Shandong governor.

Therefore, the money from Binhai Customs must be obtained, and the rest of the chaotic troops will be used to hold back the Edo soldiers and horses. They have hundreds of backbones, directly taking Nishimaru and Zhongao, and mastering the Tokugawa family rule, which is equivalent to mastering the whole world and the shogunate. .

Alcock, who was driven forward, revealed his identity, and the British employee on duty at Binhaiguan was really a minister. When I saw the silhouettes outside, they were all soldiers fighting with open flames. After a little hesitation, they opened the gate of the customs.

Chuanxi soldiers swarmed in and asked Alcock to take them directly into the customs vault. The vaults of the customs are built of solid granite, and there is no way to blast them with dozens of kilograms of explosives.

The customs accountant, who was forced by the foreign gun, opened the door of the vault tremblingly under the signal of Alcock. Here, Alcock and the accountant made a point that they did not open the main vault.

The main vault stores the repayments and interests that are regularly transferred and stored, and delivered to the British and French banking groups and the British government in October in the second half of the year. Now there are at least 500,000 pounds worth of gold and foreign exchange in it, and the vault in front of me only has the customs tax for the last two months.

The heavy door was opened, and of course there was no such thing as a golden light that blinded people's eyes. Whether it is the pound sterling made of gold, or the US dollar, and the gold small sentence, they are all collected and stored in wooden boxes in different categories. How many a box, easy to count and deliver.

Lin Hachiro strode into the vault, ripped off the seal of a wooden box, and gently pushed the lid of the box. His eyes "suddenly opened up", and the box was full of gold coins.

The gold coins produced by the Royal Mint of the British Empire are about the same size as the two-cent coins that many people in later generations will have the impression of. On the front is the portrait of Queen Victoria and on the reverse is the image of St George slaying the dragon.

Lin Hachiro received this kind of gold coin in India as a subsidy bounty for the first siege of the city. He is very sure that such a small gold coin is the so-called one pound, which is also equal to the shogun's gold sentence.

"Divided into 30 or 50 people, the whole city gathered troops, and only said that they would come to Binhaiguan to receive the pay!" Lin Hachiro was not greedy for the gold coins in front of him at all, and threw it back into the wooden box at will.
