"Look at that!" Mad Dog Beach handed the friend a telescope and pointed at a scarecrow on the shore and shouted.

Yung Wing picked up the telescope and saw it, and was frightened: It was not a scarecrow at all, but a corpse hanging on a tree, and its body and head were separated, and its head was stuck high on a branch deliberately cut into a wedge.

"Why is this the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" Yung Wing handed the telescope back to the mad dog Beach in horror.

The foreigner smiled and said, "The Taiping Army and the Qing Army fight every day, and the territory changes back and forth, and we cannot tell who these territory belongs now. However, the heads and corpses inserted along the coast yesterday were all in Taiping Army uniforms. Today, the corpses along the coast were all covered with braids, and some were wearing Qing soldiers' hexagrams. That must have been from the Qing Dynasty to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

As he was smiling, the Irish man on the other side whistled a short whistle. Stukis immediately changed his face, rushed to the other side of the ship, and pressed the gun in his waist.

Seeing Stukis's expression was panicked, Yung Wing followed him to the other side to see a small boat passing by the pickled cargo ship, but the ones standing on it were all foreigners, not Chinese, and one of them was looking at them with a telescope.

"John Crocodile!" Mad Dog Beach put down the telescope in his hand and gritted his teeth.

Hearing the fear in this voice, Yung Wing asked in surprise: "Who is he?"

"The beast on this channel!" said the mad dog Beech with a ferocious face.

"Beast?" Yung Wing asked in confusion.

"It's a beast! Damn, I'm not afraid of the Qing army on this channel, they gave it money; I'm not afraid of the Taiping army, I have a pass from the prime minister in my arms; the only thing I'm worried about is the inspection ships of the French and British people, but that's nothing, I've never heard of anyone being hung for smuggling; but this despicable crocodile is different," said Mad Dog Beech, swallowing his terrifying saliva, and he continued: "This bastard is a pirate on the Yangtze River. He doesn't move the ship from Shanghai to inland, so he specifically robs the smuggling ships returning to Shanghai from Tianjing. At this time, the ships are often full of silver! Fuck it! This beast has killed us a pickle salesman!"

Smuggling is a crime, but this group of people specializes in looting smugglers. They are afraid that smugglers can only knock down their front teeth and swallow them. Looking around the world, they can't find a place to appeal---Yong Wing can only pat the back of the smuggler's friend, hoping that he will be safe when he returns to Shanghai, and he can't say a word of comfort.

Two days later, Yung Wing passed through the waterway without any danger and landed under the city of Nanjing under the leadership of his friend Stukis, a friend of the Taiping Army.

There is nothing under this magnificent city wall, no towns and trees and grasslands under other big cities. These houses were flattened by the Taiping Army for defense, and replaced the woods with fortifications, traps and bamboo sticks. It looked like a lonely big city standing on a wasteland. This scene made people rush to ride a horse.

When he came to the city of Tianjing, Yung Wing's China Communications had a very small role. It was not that he protected two priest friends in Shanghai, but that foreigners protected him.

The Taiping Army had a good impression of foreigners, but he was a hundred times more vigilant towards Yung Wing, a Chinese. He asked him in detail, afraid that he was a spy from the Qing army. At this time, the old friends of the Taiping Army, Mad Dog Beech and Hong Kong missionaries, proved Yung Wing's credibility.

Because so many foreigners were guaranteed, and they wanted to meet Qiu Guan, Prime Minister Luo Xiaoquan and Chief Military Commander Hong Ren, these were all big names. Naturally, Yung Wing and his group of people were also big names. The Taiping Army wearing red scarves passed the question quickly, and a special person took them through the city gate.

Passing the fortifications of the city gate with two cannons and countless muskets, Yung Wing looked at the city gate in surprise. In order to defend, the city gate had been built with stones to form two stone walls directly above the city gate, which was equivalent to blocking the magnificent city gate into a solid state, and the aisle in the middle allows only one person to pass through.
