――――――――――――
In the face of Captain Martine's surprise, Zhu Jinglun said that he was not a serious representative, he was a translator of the British army, and he was caught by Xiang Yong, so he was sent, and now Xiang Yong is robbing everywhere in the city, the old city is too unsafe, he doesn't want to go back, if the foreigners want to communicate with Xiang Yong, let them send someone else.
This can be proved by Hurd, to be honest, Hurd was also surprised, when he saw Zhu Jinglun holding a white flag as a representative of the Chinese, for a moment, he was extremely angry, because he never thought that Zhu Jinglun turned out to be from the Chinese side, when did it happen, did he just surrender, or he had always been a secret agent planted by the Chinese.
If it is the latter, Hurd will feel extremely sad, after so many days of contact, Hurd already believes in Zhu Jinglun very much, and it can even be said that Zhu Jinglun is the person he trusts the most in Guangzhou City. If this person had been a spy for the Chinese from beginning to end, although he had not received much important information from him, the British had definitely made a big joke, and he Hurd was probably the background figure in the joke.
It wasn't until Zhu Jinglun explained that he was not a regular representative, but was only forced to come over to pass the word, that Hurd's eyes showed a relaxed look, not how much he valued Zhu Jinglun, but that he could not accept another betrayal, he was now deeply humiliated, and his psychological tolerance was on the verge of collapse due to repeated failures.
If Zhu Jinglun was forced, he would feel much better, and Hurd accepted Zhu Jinglun's explanation at the first time, because he knew that Zhu Jinglun had gone out of the city with them, and was injured by Chinese gunpowder together, and now he was still wrapped in a bandage, which did not look like something that a secret agent could do.
So Hurd stood up and explained to Captain Martine in person, telling Captain Martine that Zhu Jinglun had always worked hard and was a very capable translator in the British army.
Captain Martine accepted Hurd's explanation, but who to send to communicate with the Chinese, to be honest, they also planned to continue to negotiate with the Chinese, he did not want to fight this battle, not because he was afraid, but because the situation was now very unfavorable for them, if the main forces of the Anglo-French army returned from the north, they would definitely not refuse to fight.
So it is very necessary to send people to talk to the Chinese, tell them that the treaty has been signed, let them abide by the treaty, if the Chinese on the grounds that they have not received the treaty information, the French will be happy to explain in detail, will let them send someone to confirm with their emperor, the French are not in a hurry, at least until the main forces of the French army return, they are not in a hurry at all.
As for the sudden attack on them by the Chinese in disregard of the treaty, in this case, Captain Martinet did not intend to calculate it, and if he wanted to settle the account, he would have to wait for Gro (the French plenipotentiary) to return with the French army, and he believed that Gro would let the Chinese know the consequences of breaking the treaty.
What he has to do now is to hold his position and wait for reinforcements, and if he can hold it, it will be victory.
So who to send to negotiate with the Chinese, the Chinese in front of him looked frightened, the other party also pulled his clothes, indicating that he was injured, it seems that he didn't want to go, and he was a British translator, he was not easy to move, then he could only exclude the French translator, the French translator he was very impressed by a very good person, that was a very familiar person, at least he felt so, because at this time he never gave him less gifts, the Chinese called this filial piety, This kind of thing has long been very common in the rotten French army.
So Martine did not insist that Zhu Jinglun go out of the city, but sent a French translator, the big speculator Chen Qixin, out of the house.
The reason why Zhu Jinglun was reluctant to go out of the city, he felt that it was more useful for him to stay in the British and French coalition army, and when he left, he had already told Bai Gui about the situation, and said that he would cooperate with the outside world, hoping that when necessary, Bai Gui could help him, of course Bai Gui would not refuse, and told him to be careful, if there is no need, don't take risks, when he speaks, he is extremely serious, and he can't see any hypocrisy at all.
said hello to Hurd, told Hurd that he still had to find a military doctor for treatment, and said that he felt that the pain in his back was terrible, probably because the wound was broken by China Xiangyong, and Hurd still had something to do, so he didn't keep him, and told him to come to him after finishing his errands, and he arranged a place for Zhu Jinglun to live.
Zhu Jinglun did not look for a military doctor, but went directly to the inn next to the Five Immortals Gate, where Hou Jin lived for the time being.
Hou Jin said that he had already bought hundreds of people among the coolies, and with these people, he could kill the British officers and lead the coolies to rebel at any time. But it was not so easy, Zhu Jinglun did not let him take the risk, because the coolies had completely stopped cooperating with the British army at this time because of their addiction to smoking, even if the British killed a few troublemakers, they still could not mobilize the coolies to act, but caused the coolies to be dissatisfied. As a last resort, they paid each of them a sum of money, and some of them fled that night. The coolies are now a bomb, and the British can't use it, don't use it, and send nearly 100 people to garrison the coolie camp to guard against the coolie rebellion.
Zhu Jinglun felt that even if these coolies rebelled, they might not be able to beat a hundred British soldiers, but it was better to let them make trouble like that, and they could still contain these 100 British soldiers, so that the foreigners' troops would be even more stretched.
As for the people in Hou Jin's hands, there are quite a few now, and there are many people from three religions and nine streams in the city gate, as long as they are given money, they are willing to do anything, and they dare to do it.
Zhu Jinglun gave an order, and dozens of leaflets walked around the city that night, and these leaflets were written for the Indian soldiers to see, telling the Indian soldiers that the Indian soldiers would not fight the Chinese, and the Chinese would not fight the Indian soldiers. As for how effective it can be, I don't know, you must know that the British control over the Indian soldiers is much stricter than that of coolies.
After separating from Hou Jin, Zhu Jinglun found a British military doctor to help him take a casual look, and the other party said that there was no problem, and the wound was very good.
Hurd arranged for Zhu Jinglun to live in a private house next to the customs yamen, where most of the translators, including the French army's translators, also lived, because the customs yamen was now temporarily used as the headquarters of the Anglo-French army, so it was very convenient for the interpreters to work during the day.
Zhu Jinglun communicated with Chen Qixin, the translator of the French army, who was in a very bad mood after returning from Xiangyong, and he told Zhu Jinglun that the city of Guangzhou would not be able to be defended, and that there were tens of thousands of people in Xiangyong, and the strength was strong, and it was impossible for foreigners to fight.
I also learned from Chen Qixin that the French were very dissatisfied with the British, not only because the reinforcements promised by the British had not been forthcoming, but also because the British took the risk to save Pashali last time, and the whole army was wiped out, and nearly 100 French soldiers were lost. If they had not sent the navy to rescue Pashali at that time, and the Anglo-French navy was there, it would have been impossible for the Chinese to occupy the battery and cut off their rear roads.
At the same time, the French also hoped that while the Chinese had not yet surrounded the city of Guangzhou, they should concentrate their forces to break through, or the British would continue to hold out and wait for reinforcements.
It is normal for the Anglo-French forces to have differences of opinion, and there will be fights between brothers, let alone two robbers. This kind of robber who cooperates in robbery, of course, you are good when it is good, and it is normal to shirk responsibility for each other when it is unfavorable. If it weren't for the fact that there were villagers outside the city, who knows if they would have parted ways.
Zhu Jinglun felt that it was necessary to take advantage of the contradictions between the British and French forces, but at the same time, he had to put some pressure on them, so that the French felt that they could not run away without running, so as to exacerbate the differences between them.
wrote a letter overnight, asking Hou Jin to secretly send it out of the city to Bai Gui.
In a small bean lamp in a wing room where pilgrims lived in Baoguo Temple, Bai Gui read Zhu Jinglun's letter and immediately burned it.
"Fuli, you go out of the city immediately and contact the ancestral squires of ten miles and eight towns......"
The pleasure of the order, but the mood is more complicated.
The contradiction with Huang Zonghan is too deep.
So far, Huang Zonghan has only arranged for him to stay, and has not allowed him to participate in military operations, completely excluding him, which makes Bai Gui more and more uneasy.
Zhu Jinglun's idea for him was to mobilize the common people outside Guangzhou City to create a momentum, and if those big clans were willing to cooperate, it would be okay to greet 100,000 people.
But it's not an hour to gather 100,000 people, and in peacetime, the imperial court is extremely vigilant against such a thing as the people gathering people, not to mention that now is a chaotic time, I'm afraid it's easy to gather, but it's difficult to disperse.
So Bai Gui finally told Fu Li: "If they want money, they will give money, and they must not say that I asked them to do it, just say that Lord Huang asked for it." ”
This matter cannot be touched, because it is not only not a merit, but a curse. He can't afford it, so let Huang Zonghan fight.
Fu Li didn't act until dawn the next day, and when he acted at night, he would be arrested as a thief if he didn't get it.
He had money on him, rode a horse, and went to the villages closest to Guangzhou City, looking for the patriarch of the clan, and looking for the landlord Haoqiang and the squire for those who did not have a clan, and told these people to organize people to go to Guangzhou City, and told them that the city of Guangzhou had been surrounded by Lord Huang, and let them go to give Lord Huang a strong momentum, and they didn't need to fight, as long as they made noise in the back, and brought everything with them, the bigger the noise, the better, and left one or two hundred taels of silver for each family, saying that it was the food money prepared for them.
went around the city in one day, and as for how many people were willing to cooperate, Fuli didn't care. By the time it got dark, he had already arrived in Henan.
Guangzhou's Henan is not a province, but a small area on the south bank of the Pearl River, a bustling town near the Pearl River Development City. The Anglo-French army once occupied the area, but now it has been abandoned and there are no troops stationed here.
During the day, some villagers appeared near Henan one after another, and they were wandering outside the town with gongs and drums.
There are also people with various flags, and I don't know whose quilt is tied to the hoe, and there are all kinds of colors, and their appearance scared the foreigners and Huang Zonghan.
