Pashali snorted coldly, tore the letter in his hand and threw it in the brazier, and a cloud of smoke rose in the room, "Sir, the most favorite thing for Chinese to do is to prevaricate, just on the letter, this Governor General shirked and let us, the representatives of the most powerful countries in the world, return to Guangzhou and talk to the newly appointed Governor of Liangguang who is hostile to us!" ”

"Arabian Nights!" Pasha's voice was raised, and Bai Gui was dismissed by the emperor from his position as acting governor of Liangguang because of his defection to the British, and Huang Zonghan, the former cabinet scholar and chamberlain of the Criminal Department, was appointed as the governor of Liangguang and minister of trade. Huang Zonghan advocated the fight against the British and French forces, recruited volunteers along the way, and recruited sharpshooters when he passed through his hometown in Quanzhou. After arriving in Guangdong, he was stationed in Huizhou, and immediately contacted the gentry and people to organize regimental training. In the case of Luo Chunyan, Jingqing Long Yuanxi, and Su Tingkui cooperated closely with him and was determined to recover Guangzhou, which was called "one governor and three gentlemen". Such a tough person will not make peace with him, Pashali knows very well, "I've had enough! Mr. Ministers, I think that the Chinese, especially the emperor in Beijing, do not yet understand what kind of power our three countries unite on this earth! Pashali raised his glass again and motioned for several people to clink glasses together, "We should teach these stupid, arrogant and arrogant Chinese a good lesson with our muskets and artillery warships!" Let them understand a sentence in their country, what is called a person who recognizes reality clearly is a hero! The three crystal cups collided together, rippling with inexplicable light in mid-air......

"Those who know the times are Junjie," Mu Yang'a clapped his hands. He was very satisfied with the behavior of the British and French people passing through Ningbo without entering, yes, he patted his stomach that was frightened and shriveled a few days ago, and thought with satisfaction, when the situation was dangerous before, he had already prepared a porcelain bottle in the mansion, if the British and French had the slightest intention of attacking Ningbo Mansion, he would take poison and commit suicide, and he resolutely could not affect the daughter in the palace, and the emperor was now very tolerant of the Han people and military generals. is merciless to the Manchurians. The queen's father was suspected of abandoning the city and fleeing, and the queen suffered a lot of grievances, if it was her turn, even if she hugged the queen's thigh. Even if you don't die. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape from Ili. Mu Yang'a understood very clearly why the foreigners did not look all the way to the north to attack like they did twenty years ago. Why not attack Ningbo Mansion, half of Zhejiang's finance and taxation and one-third of Fujian's finance and taxes are solved to Ningbo Mansion to buy foreign guns, this is the reason why the British and French forces did not attack Ningbo, compared with other mediocre officials, Mu Yang'a more clearly understands that in fact, the huge words of commercial activities can affect politics and the military, but at this time Mu Yang'a has no time to pay attention to these trivial matters, he instructed the master in charge of buying arms, "Hurry up, and those foreigners in the city said, Said that the officer would add a third of the price to buy musket artillery! Those who come are not afraid, whoever takes how much, the official is all round! ”

The master silently wiped his sweat against his boss's wealthy order, but he had to remind Mu Yang'a, "My lord, the British said that they wanted us to issue a letter of commitment, and they had to use muskets against the British army, and artillery was no longer provided. ”

Mu Yang'a slapped the table, "What are you afraid of, the official will write a letter of commitment to him!" This officer would never use these muskets against the British army! Governor Zeng naturally won't! Seeing that the master was still ignorant, Mu Yanga scolded with hatred: "So you are a master, stupid, when the musket arrives, as long as the official sends it out, who uses it and who uses it, does the official still care!" British merchants are not a good thing, playing this kind of trick of covering their ears and stealing bells, they are still tender, and when the muskets are in hand, then it is not up to them to have the final say! The master suddenly realized, nodded again and again, this Chinese officialdom shirks the responsibility, ordinary foreigners can't learn, even if China uses foreign firearms against the British and French forces, those businessmen will be held accountable, and they can't find anyone who is ultimately responsible for this matter. Mu Yang'a was triumphant, and pointed out the business of artillery again, "The price of artillery will rise by another third, and the official will not believe it, this is real money, and you can't buy artillery!" England France refuses to sell, then look for Russia, look for the United States, I heard that there is a German artillery is also very good, announced and posted, it said that the Qing Dynasty in order to quell the rebellion of Changmao, so the purchase of artillery at a high price, there must be brave men under the heavy money, the official does not believe it, can not pry open the pockets they are holding! ”

"Dong Ong Yingming!" The master really admired Mu Yang'a at this time, no wonder he was able to sit in the fattest position in recent years except for Yandao, in addition to having a relationship, the level of this work is really high.

"Jingzhong has come to the order, and we want to make every effort to buy it, just in case of emergency," Mu Yang'a pondered slightly, "It can be seen that the situation is a little bad." ”

"No matter how big the wind and waves are, he will definitely not be able to blow Dong Weng." The master gave a slap in time.

"That's natural," Mu Yang'a quite boasted, he was the father of the concubine, he was originally registered with the emperor, and he had already passed the queen's way, and first donated a batch of good arms, the corners of the queen's mouth were crooked, and he also took advantage of the east wind of pacifying the rebellion, and got the position of the minister of five trade co-organizers, and was also in charge of the fat shortage of arms procurement. There are already two commendation files in the Ministry of Officials. The daughter also wrote that the queen was extremely satisfied with her errand and was ready to have the opportunity to talk to the emperor about rewarding him for meritorious service, and conferred the title of political envoy or the right capital imperial envoy. If it comes to that point, then the next step is either to enter the six ministers of Beijing, or to take up any province or governor! Thinking of this, Mu Yang'a had already thrown his previous anxiety into the East China Sea, where would he still have time to think about the bad luck of suicide and martyrdom, and hurriedly instructed the master, "Tonight, the official will invite those foreign businessmen to dinner, the cooks brought by the capital, and the cooks who went to Kuixinglou to take charge of his case are also invited, all invited, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the eight freshness of the water and land, all on the top!" Today, the official wants these foreigners to swallow all the tongues they eat! It doesn't matter if their muskets are the latest or not, as long as they can shoot out, the official wants them! "Relying on the financial resources of the southeastern provinces, the owner of the money in the eyes of foreign arms dealers, Lord Mu Yang'a is ready to wave the silver ticket, ready to knock down all the merchants who see the money. (To be continued......)

PS: In the 58th year of Qianlong, Bai Juxi served as the envoy of Zhejiang, and he was very good with Li Xiaoyuan, the Taishou of Hangzhou, but occasionally made trouble over trivial matters

contradictions. Li Xiaoyuan was so annoyed that he didn't go to see Baijuxi for a month, and then he had to excuse himself from resigning and returning to his hometown due to illness.

At that time, it was the scorching heat of midsummer, and Baijuxi gave Li Xiaoyuan a poetry fan with verses written on it: "Why should I be afraid if I am not summer, Jun."

It seems that the breeze refuses to come. ”
