Hurd held a meeting overnight to convey to the British officers the attitude of the Chinese, that is, to hand over the weapons and stay in the barracks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's like they asked the Eight Banners and the Green Camp to do, until now, the Eight Banners and the Green Camp are still locked up in the Xiezhen camp near Yongqing Gate, those Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, there is a sufficient supply of materials every day, in addition to eating and sleeping all day long, they get together to gamble during the day in the dark, they seem to enjoy this kind of life very much, except that they can't go out of the barracks, there seems to be nothing bad.

Since the British army had treated the captives of the Qing Kingdom in this way, it was not easy for them to argue with such a request from the other side. The officers, who were only worried about the credit of the Chinese, promised the surrendered Qing troops, and those Qing troops surrendered their weapons, and they always supplied them with food as agreed. But if they hand over their weapons, how can they prevent the Chinese from slaughtering them without keeping their promises? After all, this siege was supposed to be a truce after the signing of the treaty, and the Chinese have not kept their promises, how can they still be trusted.

Hurd said that the Chinese were willing to send a senior official to act as a guarantee, and that the senior official would always live with the British army, which had sent hostages, and the British officers felt that they could also take the risk and try, but they proposed that the rank of this official could not be low, and they hoped that China's Qincha Huang Zonghan would come in person. Hurd said that this could not be done, and told the officers that the Chin Cha was representing the emperor and that it was absolutely impossible for him to be a hostage.

The discussion was concluded in the second half of the night, and the foreigners felt that Baigui was a good choice, because Hurd said that here in Guangdong, in addition to Huang Zonghan, it was Baigui, the largest governor, and the other was the Guangzhou general, but the Guangzhou general had always been controlled by the British army, and at the beginning in the Guangzhou General's Palace, the British army retreated and was also brought to the south of the city.

When Hurd told Zhu Jinglun about the British army's requirements, Zhu Jinglun couldn't help but secretly call out in his heart that it was a coincidence, he had planned to let Bai Gui be the hostage, but he didn't expect that the British army would also pick Bai Gui themselves, so it would be better, and there would be fewer variables.

Early the next morning, Zhu Jinglun was the only one who left the city, the reason was very simple, he told Hurd yesterday that sending hostages was too undignified for the Qing court, so it needed to be kept secret, and it had to be done in secret, telling Hurd that this was a private guarantee from Qing officials, and it must not be publicized.

The British army will not make a noise, and Zhu Jinglun came forward alone, so how can I say it, this is the most proud moment for Zhu Jinglun, a double agent, to be now.

As a representative of the British army, Zhu Jinglun was naturally qualified to meet with Huang Zonghan, and this time it was a large number of officials, Hua Tingjie and those who led the troops did not appear, and Jiang Guolin, the political envoy of Guangdong, and Zhou Qibin, the envoy of the inspection department, were all present.

Zhu Jinglun told them in front of them that the British army proposed that Huang Zonghan personally go to the city to negotiate to show his sincerity, otherwise the British army refused to continue the negotiations. If Hurd heard that Zhu Jinglun would say this at this time, he would probably vomit blood, didn't this force Huang Zonghan to send troops to attack the city.

Huang Zonghan didn't say anything, Zhou Qibin had already taken the case, and he shouted at Yingyi's boldness, and he actually came up with such a clumsy trick to murder Qincha! Jiang Guolin even implored Huang Zonghan to kill Zhu Jinglun to strengthen the army, and then set up a large army to destroy this dynasty eclipse.

Zhu Jinglun was really scared and cried, and hurriedly said that he was just a messenger, and the affairs of foreigners had nothing to do with him, he was forced.

Huang Zonghan waved his hand and said that the two countries would not fight each other, and let people send Zhu Jinglun out of the account.

Then Huang Zonghan invited Hua Tingjie and others to discuss, and everyone said that Lord Qincha must not take risks easily, this must be a trick under the extreme of Yangyi.

Of course, Huang Zonghan himself didn't want to go, but he still had to find someone to discuss, and let others persuade him not to go, instead of deciding not to go himself, so that he would lose the excuse that he was timid and afraid, showing that he was definitely not a person who was worried about his personal safety and did not dare to take the risk of sacrificing for the country.

Now everyone says that this is Yingyi's trickery, so it has little to do with him, and he obviously didn't go under the persuasion of everyone.

Not long after the group left, there was a quarrel outside the door.

"Let me see Lord Qincha, I want to see Lord Huang!"

Huang Zonghan frowned, and heard that the voice was Bai Gui's, Bai Gui was a literati after all, and he was also in the position of governor, so he shouted so disrespectfully.

Although he was at odds with Bai Gui and didn't see Bai Gui, the basic etiquette still had to be taught, so he shouted, and the guards let Bai Gui in.

As soon as Bai Gui came in, he said, "Lord Huang, I heard that Yangyi wants Lord Huang to negotiate in person?" ”

Huang Zonghan was not happy immediately, he had just finished the meeting on his side, and he knew it when he turned around Bai Gui, it seems that Bai Gui's power is still underestimated. And Bai Gui broke in, didn't he force himself to go to Yingyi to negotiate?

That's what Yingyi said. However, the adults in the rank all thought it was Yingyi's poor trick, and Lord Baigui didn't have to pay attention to it! ”

Bai Gui said: "If this is the case! Naturally, adults can't take risks lightly. Why don't you let it go down? ”

Huang Zonghan didn't expect Bai Gui to come to invite Ying, and couldn't help but be surprised.

But he still shook his head and denied: "Lord Baigui has left his post and went to Yingyi to disagree with the law." ”

Bai Gui said with a smile: "It is precisely because I have already left my job that it is the most suitable to go." The official went to work, but the people of Yi did not know. Besides, the official has already left his post, even if the foreigners turn their faces and detain them, the adults can boldly attack the city, but they will damage Baigui's body alone. If the foreigners who can be said surrendered, they can save the lives of thousands of soldiers. ”

"No, this official will never agree!"

Huang Zonghan insisted. He has been distancing himself from Bai Gui, but fortunately he stayed out of the matter when Bai Gui fell, so he couldn't let Bai Gui go, because as long as Bai Gui went, others would think that Bai Gui was going for him, after all, the foreigners asked him, the Lord Qincha, to negotiate in person. He didn't go to Baigui as a governor, this is not to replace him, how else can he explain it?

If he allowed Bai Gui to negotiate with foreigners at this time, others would think that Bai Gui had helped him do such a dangerous thing, but when Bai Gui was in trouble, he stood by and watched, and would be considered too ruthless. In the officialdom in the future, who will be close to him Huang Zonghan?

Bai Gui said: "Lord Huang, since the lower official has already left his post, I'm afraid I don't need Lord Huang's consent, right?" ”

Huang Zonghan was stunned, Bai Gui's attitude was so resolute.

He immediately wanted to say that even if Bai Gui left his post, then it would be the people, Huang Zonghan was an official, and Bai Gui still had to listen to him. But if Bai Gui is a citizen, it seems that it should be under the control of his parents, is it Hua Tingjie or Li Futai to be in charge? Or is Bai Gui a flag man and has to let Eight Banners take care of it?

Before the words came out, Bai Gui immediately said goodbye: "Since Lord Huang refuses to agree, for the sake of the lives of the three armies, I have to do my own thing, and I can rest assured that I will definitely not affect my lord." This is all done by the next person, and it will definitely be enlightened to the saint below. ”

After Bai Gui finished speaking, he turned around and left, Huang Zonghan trembled angrily, and wanted people to take down Bai Gui, but he still held back, Bai Gui can do the first level of governor of Guangdong, there is no one behind him, plus Bai Gui is a child of the Eight Banners, the Han officials and the flag officials conflicted, there was no good result, especially their high status, it was not possible to withdraw from the Qi Han conflict, at that time, whether it was right or wrong, the emperor must have played thirty boards each, and he Huang Zonghan didn't want to play with Bai Gui, a person who was waiting to die.

"Change your clothes!"

Back in his room, Bai Gui was in a good mood and shouted loudly.

His subordinates quickly waited for him to put on the official uniform, the official uniform of the governor of Guangdong.

Then Bai Gui wore an official uniform and wrote a chapter with a serious face, and Huang Zonghan's fight was not in vain, after the quarrel, there was enough reason to take credit for himself, just told Huang Zonghan that everything has nothing to do with Huang Zonghan, so the credit naturally has nothing to do with Huang Zonghan.

As soon as he thought of being able to snatch a large piece of the great work of recovering the city from Huang Zonghan's hands, Bai Gui was extremely excited, not only did he save his life, but in his eyes, he knew that this was still a great achievement.

“…… The minions decided to enter the city alone, and they were determined to force Yingyi to surrender their troops and unload their blades with great righteousness. If it succeeds, avoid swords and soldiers, and do not waste a soldier. If he loses, but the old slave is alone, which is insignificant. Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, the slave kowtows! ”

After writing a passionate memora, he immediately handed it over to a villain.

"After the old man left, he immediately sent this fold out."

After saying that, he shook his hand and walked out of the room, and an old servant outside had already prepared a thin donkey.

The reason why he was ready to ride a donkey was because Bai Gui remembered that in some of his wild history notes, many old civil officials rode a donkey and entered the mountain alone, so he persuaded a bandit from the cottage to be good, thinking that this was very elegant and could make a strong voice for his tragic deeds.

So a man, a servant, and a thin donkey, departed.

If Bai Gui didn't wear his official uniform and changed it to a shabby cloth clothes, it would be even more perfect.

Of course, he didn't forget to shout, "Bring the messenger of Yangyi and bring the old man into the city."

So one person, one servant, one thin donkey, and one more Zhu Jinglun.

Under the gaze of tens of millions of villagers and officials, several people slowly walked into Guangzhou City from the east gate.

Walk along Huiai Street to the south of Panyu Straight Street, walk generously to the small south gate, along the way Bai Gui still can't help but show his identity to the Xiangyong hidden in all corners, telling them that he is going to say that the foreigners, if it happens, everyone doesn't have to work hard, who doesn't shout after listening to the Xiangyong.

Bai Gui came to the small south gate under the praise of the villagers, and shouted to the foreign soldiers, "Pull the old man up." ”

He did not go to the Gongyuan that had been occupied by the Xiangyong, but took the city gate heavily guarded by foreigners, the purpose was to pretend to be a tragic color, in the case of "pretending", the literati have always been more "courageous" than the warriors.

The man can pull it up, but the donkey has no choice, and the old servant leads the donkey and returns the same way.

Anyway, there has been a ceasefire, and the villagers on Panyu Straight Street also boldly poked their heads out from time to time to stand on the street and look at the city gate, and saw the governor and others boarding the city tower guarded by foreigners.

Then, after a cup of tea, the foreigner announced his surrender.

The whole city was thunderous, and only Huang Zonghan broke three teacups in his room, and shouted Shi Jingyun Yunyun.
