In this way, Guangzhou’s trade has slowly recovered.
However, the foreigners’ attitude was always tough. Hurd made three trips between Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and each time he said that the British army asked the Qing army to give up Guangzhou in accordance with the treaty.
In other ways, Zhu Jinglun also knew that the British negotiated with him in SH, and Elgin had protested the matter to Gui Liang and Hua Shanna, the imperial envoys who negotiated with him. Gui Liang and Hua Shanna also told Elgin that the attack on Guangzhou was not the Qing government army but the local villagers’ courage, and they were willing to mediate with the government if the British wanted.
Erkin was puzzled by this kind of words and deeds, which is really a way to understand the thinking of China people. He refused and insisted that the Manchu court respect the treaty and temporarily hand over Guangzhou to the British and French Coalition forces for management.
How dare Gui Liang and Hua Shana promise to hand over the recovered city to foreigners? Don’t mention them. Even the emperor can’t bear this responsibility. Later generations will scold him as a bad king. They are sure that once they agree to change this condition to C, those civilian officials will spray them to death.
So they talked with Erjin about trade and refused to talk about Guangzhou.
Elgin instructed the British troops in Hong Kong to attack Guangzhou as soon as possible, and put pressure on the French to move with the British troops. The main force of the French army stayed in SH all this time, putting pressure on Huashana and Gui Liang. After all, they also wanted to negotiate trade terms with the Qing government, and put pressure on Elgin. The French finally applied Shiran South.
If the French return to Hong Kong, it means that more than 3,000 British and French troops will fight. Will they attack Guangzhou again? This is very worrying.
Worry at the same time, Zhu Jinglun worked hard to train soldiers. Now the marksmanship of 2,000 coolies is quite good, and they have a good pace to train three-stage shooting skills. In another half month, they will probably be able to play platoon guns like the British and French Coalition forces, which is comparable to World War I.
If Guangzhou can’t be handed over again, the Manchu Dynasty won’t agree, but it doesn’t matter if those civil servants don’t agree. They can sit and talk about historical facts and scold who is in charge, but Zhu Jinglun can’t show loyalty. He really wants to do something, and he must take various measures, including making people scold him, to keep Guangzhou city.
Bai Gui’s banquet was very lively. It was a banquet to celebrate his reinstatement. Huang Zonghan and other civil and military officials attended it
Bai Gui sat with Huang Zonghan Mukden and other senior officials, laughing and laughing.
Zhu Jinglun can sit in the most outside military attache’s seat with Zhang Qian Shan and some unknown green campers.
Zhang Qian Shan frequently toasted Zhu Jinglun. Everyone can see that Zhu Jinglun is now a red man in front of the governor’s adult, and the governor has just been reinstated. I heard that the emperor appreciated it. It is Long En’s mighty friendship with Zhu Jinglun at this time that naturally has many benefits and one harm.
At the same time, Zhang Qianshan also invited Zhu Jinglun to his house for a drink. Of course, the reason is that he was promoted to the emperor. This time, he generously rewarded many people. Zhang Qian Shan was promoted to Nanxiong Zuoxie Guerrilla, and Zhu Jinglun got a title of guangzhou fu Yong Ying Assistant, who was responsible for the training of musket camp. It was a real birthright, and Zhu Jinglun also got the title of alternate magistrate of a county. This was not given by the emperor, but by Bai Gui, who donated officials to Zhu Jinglun through the official department. He also had to donate officials from Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty.
Even if this can make the governor pay to buy an official for himself, everyone can see that Bai Gui loves Zhu Jinglun deeply.
Lin Fuxiang also sat at a table with Zhu Jinglun, and he was a little reticent. He also got some awards, but he was a little depressed because he always thought he was a scholar, but he had to sit with a group of martial arts people, especially Zhu Jinglun, who seemed to be the protagonist. But Zhu Jinglun used to be a brave soldier in his hand, which made him really ashamed to woo Zhu Jinglun.
Zhu Jinglun’s heart is full of things and he is not in the mood to cater to and take care of others. There is no communication between the two people in Xiji. If you can’t help it, there will be contradictions between them. Little Zhang Qian Shan has repeatedly checked the faces of the two people.
After the banquet, Baigui told Zhu Jinglun to stay in the governor’s yamen and talk to him.
Bai Gui told Zhu Jinglun a bad news.
"A county had an accident …"
Shortly after the British army retreated from Guangzhou last month, the main force of the French army returned to Hong Kong, and the allied forces launched an offensive against County A in order to deter Xin’ an people, especially the active villagers in Xin’ an area.
They seized the trail of Xiang Yong led by Chen Guiji, destroyed the station of Xiang Yong, and chased him all the way to A county. The local magistrate ordered Xiang Yong to enter the city to refuse the enemy, but failed to stop the British and French Coalition forces from invading A county. After that, they not only killed many people, but also burned the county magistrate, Wang Shouren, and was burned to death in the county. Chen Guiji died in Chengtou, and more than 1,000 people died in Xiang Yong.
Zhu Jinglun couldn’t help sighing that he didn’t know that he had changed the original history because the British Hong Kong government sent people to post notices in County A, and after the conflict in County A, fighting did break out, but three British troops were stopped by Chen Guiji and Xin ‘an Township Yong, the leader of Shajing Township.
However, this time, due to the British army’s defeat in World War I outside Guangzhou, it paid more attention to Xiang Yong. On the other hand, this time, a French army participated in the French army, and its combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the British army. For various reasons, they paid more attention to attacking A county, and finally it really broke A county.
"So foreigners occupied a county after listening to Zhu Jinglun frown asked.
Bai Gui nodded. "It’s crazy to say that if the government gives up Guangzhou, they are willing to return it to Xin ‘an immediately!"
Zhu Jinglun nodded that no Qing government official would agree to change the GD provincial capital to a county seat.
However, Zhu Jinglun thought of something else. It makes no sense for Bai Gui to let people stay and tell themselves this.
Unless "My Lord, what do you mean by leaving a villain?"
Bai Gui sighed, "I just want to ask you if your soldiers can take back Xin ‘an?"
Zhu Jinglun thought for a moment, "The troops are not enough, even if they can call, they can’t keep it unless they are recruiting one or two thousand rural brave."
Baigui nodded slightly and thought, "It’s good to be able to call. I’ll tell the Governor that it’s good for you to take care of it."
Zhu Jinglun added, "There is also the fact that the salary is not good."
Bai Gui gave Zhu Jinglun 102,000 yuan many times, of which 42,000 yuan bought cigarettes and soil, and in January, 10,000 yuan was paid for fighting. In the past two months, 32,000 yuan was paid, and 30,000 yuan remained. There is no long-term source to support it.
Baigui couldn’t help frowning. "You give too much to these soldiers."
Three squires recruited more than 10,000 rural volunteers, but now they are also very worried about money. The emperor has repeatedly hoped to change their rural volunteers’ formal training so that they can eat the treasury money. They raised a total of 122,000 yuan, but after the news of the J Treaty, the squire promised to donate money immediately, which led to the final acquisition of 62,000 soldiers and only 62,000 soldiers. Zhu Jinglun spent more money in just a few months.
Zhu Jinglun sighed, "If the British and the barbarians give these coolies more money, if they can’t make a lot of money, such as netting them, they will be addicted to loyalty. If they lose their money, they will even take refuge in the war and lead the barbarians to call, even if there is a big disaster."
Bai Gui has a headache. He thinks these people are really tough when he sees the situation. Of course, this is an illusion, but Bai Gui doesn’t know it. He believes that Zhu Jinglun really said that it is a big trouble to turn these people against each other.
