Section 20 Winning Trust(4)

The negotiations on the second day were still very unsmooth, but there was a result, because at the beginning, Xiang Yong's side insisted that he would replace people with no other conditions, which was equivalent to an ultimatum, and it was not a negotiation at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And ask the foreigners to release the people unilaterally first, and then release the people here.

As for any of the other proposals proposed by Hurd, there is no point in talking about them here.

As a result, the negotiation team was invited out of Shijing Wei in the afternoon, and Hurd had a disappointed expression, but Wu Chongyao breathed a sigh of relief, he was finally safe.

Returning to the city safely, Pashali met with the negotiation team as soon as possible, and everyone fell silent after Hurd reported the situation truthfully.

The attitude of the Chinese made them feel a deep distrust, and even Hurd felt that the other party was not sincere at all.

"Get out, all of you. Hurd stays! ”

Zhu Jinglun knew that Pashali wanted to discuss countermeasures with Hurd.

The next day they acted, and Pasha Li personally led the team and led 300 British troops to set off to clear the Xiangyong area around Shijing.

But like countless times in the past, this time they still returned with a feather and were led to the mountains by Xiang Yong, not only did they not catch a single Xiang Yong, but they also died three and were injured six times. Of course, Xiang Yong also paid a considerable price, with nearly ten casualties.

Pa Xia Li has gone to the city many times to clean up the village Yong, each time there is no result, this time he should know very well in his heart that there will be no gain, but he needs to give an explanation to the Indians, and even the three hundred people who sent troops except for the officers are Indians, in fact, they are blocking the mouths of the Indians to prove that they have made efforts.

But Zhu Jinglun obviously would not let his plot succeed, and that night the city of Guangzhou was plastered with notices, and the villagers outside the city solemnly rebuked the British for their shamelessness, saying in the notice that they had promised to exchange people with the British, who knew that the British would go back on their word and lead troops to attack. At the same time, an ultimatum was given to the British in a proclamation, telling them to send them out of the city within three days, otherwise they would cut off the Indian man's head and hang it on the city of Canton.

At this time, the Indians were in a hurry, they did not know the plan of the British, Pashali told them that they had sent someone to talk, but the other party did not agree to release them, so he decided to send troops to clear them, and when they were cleared, the Indian soldiers were still very desperate, but now the notice told the Indian soldiers that Xiang Yong promised to release them, but the British deceived Xiang Yong.

This made the Indian soldiers feel deeply deceived by the British, and at this time Pashali came out again to explain that Xiang Yong did not agree to release the people, but only threatened the British army to release them, and there was no sincerity at all, but at this time, the Indian soldiers no longer trusted Pashali, sealed the barracks, and all the soldiers refused to go to work.

Information came out of the city that some villagers were approaching Guangzhou City, which made the atmosphere in Guangzhou suddenly tense for a while.

Pashali was even more anxious.

"My lord, do you think the Yi people will release them?"

He felt that if Zhu Jinglun really wanted the foreigners to release them, they could agree on a place between the two parties and exchange them with each other, but if they wanted the foreigners to release them first, they would change to Xiangyong, and they would not agree.

"They will!"

Zhu Jinglun was sure.

Lin Zhuang was puzzled: "My lord is so sure?" ”

Zhu Jinglun smiled: "Do you know India? ”

Lin Zhuang thought for a while: "Tianzhu? Isn't it occupied by the British? ”

Lin Fuxiang grew up in Macao, and many of his relatives were in Macao, and Lin Zhuang was a man with a heart, and his understanding of foreigners was quite deep, although he did not necessarily know the way the British ruled India, but he might as well compare it with the Manchurians' rule over China.

Zhu Jinglun nodded: "That's right, Tianzhu." Where the native soldiers rebelled! ”

The Indian uprising, to this day the British are still blocking the news, the Indian soldiers in Guangzhou do not know what is happening in their hometown, obviously the British are guarding against them.

This shows that the British are very jealous, I am afraid that they have now regarded the seven or eight hundred Indian soldiers as powder kegs in their hearts, and there are no troops to defend them, and it is impossible to fight, and there are still tens of thousands of Chinese villagers outside the city who are eyeing them, and the British are definitely on pins and needles at this time.

As soon as Lin Zhuang heard that the Indian soldiers rebelled, he immediately understood in his heart, in contrast, if China's green battalions rebelled, I am afraid that the Eight Banners would also be very flustered, the first thing to do is definitely to appease, at all costs to appease, not to mention letting people go, that is, they really want them to give 50,000 taels of silver and 50,000 loads of rice.

But Lin Zhuang was thinking about another problem in his heart at this time, that is, the person he was talking to seemed to be more complicated than he imagined, so that he couldn't understand it at all. He has raised Zhu Jinglun's status in his heart many times, but he still finds that he still greatly underestimates this person.

This made him a little panicked, Lin Fuxiang asked him to follow Zhu Jinglun and star, but he followed inch by inch, but he still couldn't figure out what this person was thinking in his heart, which made him not panic, the more he felt that Zhu Jinglun was mysterious, and the more he felt that he was mysterious, the deeper the panic in his heart.

And he was deeply puzzled, Zhu Jinglun made such a big battle, just to let the foreigners release a person?

"My lord, who is Xiao Aqiao?"

Zhu Jinglun smiled: "That's an insignificant person, it's like this to you, it's like this to foreigners, it's like this to me, it's insignificant!" ”

Xiao Aqiao is an insignificant person, indeed, a very poor person. He was arrested last month for assaulting foreigners. His wife and daughter were insulted by foreigners, Xiao Aqiao was angry and attacked the foreign soldiers on the street corner, and then arrested, and his wife and daughter both hanged themselves after he was arrested, this is really a very pitiful person.

Fortunately, the foreigners wanted to establish their authority, and they also wanted to use the authority of the Guangzhou government to scare the people of Guangzhou and prevent similar things from happening again, so they hoped that Bai Gui would come forward to judge Xiao Aqiao, but Bai Gui was making trouble with the foreigners, or Bai Gui, who was good at scheming, was trying to put aside the relationship between the foreigners and Xiang Yong, so he did not hesitate to ask the emperor to resign, so he refused to come forward to judge. The foreigners finally decided to try in the name of the Occupation Committee, but before they could be executed, they encountered the recent abduction of Indian soldiers in Guangzhou.

"If it's insignificant, why did the adults save him?"

Lin Zhuang was still puzzled, or was using the excuse to probe Zhu Jinglun's thoughts.

Zhu Jinglun did not hide him, knowing that what he told him would definitely reach Lin Fuxiang's ears, but at this time, Zhu Jinglun did not have any resources in his hands, so it was not a good thing for Lin Fuxiang to understand his ability, and it might be able to strengthen Lin Fuxiang's confidence in cooperating with him.

Zhu Jinglun said truthfully: "Xiao Aqiao is not important to anyone, but it is very important to the people of Guangzhou City. ”

Lin Zhuang still didn't understand, but Zhu Jinglun didn't plan to say it anymore, and maintaining a proper sense of mystery would make Lin Fuxiang pay more attention to him.

In the evening, the British made a decision to unilaterally release Xiao Aqiao first!
