Zhu Jinglun is not surprised that Lin Fuxiang is not gullible, from the first Great Smoke War to the present, although he has never been a big official, but he can mix for 20 years without falling, and he has always held an elite township warrior compared to the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Officialdom is a big dye vat, and it is absolutely impossible for such people to trust others easily.

Zhu Jinglun didn't expect a conversation to convince him, all he wanted was cooperation. If the other party believes in himself completely, it is not a cooperation, it is a commission. Now Lin Fuxiang is at least willing to cooperate with him, and that is enough.

With Lin Fuxiang's cooperation, Zhu Jinglun's next plan is to let foreigners cooperate with him.

This is very interesting, his aim is to let the Chinese retake the city of Guangzhou, and win a victory to defend their own land, but to gain the trust of the invaders. It's like letting the black and white pieces on the chessboard listen to themselves, so that the outcome is under their control.

However, things will not be so easy, Lin Fuxiang will not easily believe in himself, let alone a foreigner.

So what he asks for is only the cooperation of foreigners, at least so that foreigners' trust in him can reach the level of cooperation.

Zhu Jinglun has covered up very well before, he has never shown any dissatisfaction with foreigners from beginning to end, and has done his own work conscientiously, but this is far from enough, because other Chinese translators do the same, foreigners will never trust you because you are dedicated to doing things for them, because you always have a Chinese skin on your body.

But now it's different, Zhu Jinglun has at least one available card in his hand, and it's the Indian soldier.

The lives of Indian soldiers are not valuable, for Lin Fuxiang and the British, but just like Lin Fuxiang could not easily hand over the Indian soldiers, the British wanted to get the Indian soldier back, the reason is very simple, it is not that the Indian soldier is important, but that the meaning of the Indian soldier is very important.

Because the Indian soldier now represents the British army, so it has symbolic significance for both sides, Lin Fuxiang took away an Indian soldier from the city of Guangzhou, which was a real insult to the dignity of the British, and tried every means to save the Indian soldier, that is, the British were trying to save face for themselves. That's why Pa Xiali went to Bai Gui aggressively, and when the negotiation didn't go well, he even slapped Bai Gui in anger, and the reason is here.

Of course, this is not a too important card, and the British can't find this Indian soldier, it's just a loss of face.

But if Zhu Jinglun can help them get it back, it is enough for them to start cooperating with Zhu Jinglun, and this Indian soldier is just an introduction for Zhu Jinglun to open up cooperation with the British.

However, this introduction must be clever and natural enough, otherwise the taste of conspiracy is too obvious, that is, the rats will not eat the bait placed at the mouth of the hole, let alone the British who are buying from the world hegemon.

Zhu Jinglun had a plan for a long time, and since the moment he heard that Lin Fuxiang had kidnapped the Indian soldiers, his brain far beyond ordinary people had made all these plans clear, and it has been going smoothly until now.

"Your Excellency, it's here!"

A voice sounded, and the black cloth on Zhu Jinglun's head was lifted, and he was already in Guangzhou City.

Since Lin Fuxiang has not fully trusted Zhu Jinglun, it is impossible for him to completely expose his secret to Zhu Jinglun.

So when he went out of the city, Zhu Jinglun was covered with a sack, and when he entered the city, his treatment was slightly better, but he was still covered with black cloth.

But all this can't be hidden from Zhu Jinglun, because of the alien machinery in his body, his five senses are extremely keen, even if he is covered by his head, he can still distinguish the basic direction, when he goes out, Zhu Jinglun can even clearly locate the path, knowing that they are out of the city from a hidden water gate, obviously the troops are too small for the British to fully control the corners of Guangzhou City, a big city of dozens of miles, some places, even if it is the way in and out of the city, you have to rely on the surrendered Qing soldiers to handle, And Lin Fuxiang probably bought off the Qing soldiers guarding the door, so he was free to go in and out at night.

But when they returned, they did not take the waterway, but they had made some kind of secret passage like an underground tunnel. It is not surprising that when it comes to sewers, later generations often think of the West, and when it comes to ancient sewers, they only think of ancient Rome. But they didn't know that ancient Chinese cities had long since developed extremely developed sewer facilities.

The Song Dynasty is a pinnacle, the Song Dynasty water conservancy experts in Ganzhou built the Fushou ditch, thousands of years so that the city is rarely flooded, the sewer of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty is even more huge to the same as an underground world, there are criminals living in it with women all the year round, Lu You once recalled that "the Jingshi ditch is extremely deep and wide, and the outlaws are hidden in it, and they call themselves Sanssouci Cave." The thief hides the woman, and he ghosts the building." Compared with Fan Lou, the largest restaurant in Kaifeng City, although it is the self-entertainment of criminals, it also shows the scale of the sewer. Often, the Kaifeng Mansion wanted to arrest the food hidden in it, and even had to play the emperor and block all the sewer entrances.

But after the peak of Chinese science and technology in the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has not reached the level of the peak of the Song Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty has regressed compared to the Ming Dynasty, so science and technology is on a downward trend in the land of China, even the Fushougou in Ganzhou, to the late Qing Dynasty, has been dilapidated, often waterlogged, until the eighth year of Tongzhi, the local official Wei Ying promoted the repair of the Fushougou in the Song Dynasty, and as a result, this system has been used until the 21st century when Beijing was flooded, and still protects Ganzhou intact.

A small city like Ganzhou has drainage ditches, Kaifeng is even more incomparable, and Guangzhou was still a metropolis in the Song Dynasty, so it is obviously impossible to have no drainage ditches. Although it may not be enough for criminals to live in it all year round, it is quite easy to use it as a secret passage occasionally. Although these drainage ditches were cleaned in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were not well maintained, most of them were not in good condition, and a lot of filth was accumulated, and the common people did not go, and it was impossible for the British and French troops to figure out the ditches and ditches in Guangzhou City, and it was inevitable that there were omissions, so they could be secretly entered by Lin Fuxiang's people and quietly abducted an Indian soldier.

So after opening his eyes, he found that he had arrived in the city, and he could feel that he had walked through a difficult secret passage, Zhu Jinglun had already guessed eight or nine, and was sure that Lin Fuxiang had mastered a few underground passages that were not noticed by foreigners, which were probably abandoned, or the drainage ditches of the ancient city that were still in use.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinglun is more assured of Lin Fuxiang's strength, there is more than one channel in and out, obviously Lin Fuxiang can dispatch a small group of elites in and out of Guangzhou City at any time as long as he is willing, and as a last resort, it will bring great help to Zhu Jinglun.

Maybe this is also the message that Lin Fuxiang is conveying to Zhu Jinglun, showing his strength to Zhu Jinglun, or just not taking the same road out of safety, Zhu Jinglun is still unclear for the time being.

"My lord, where are we going now?"

Zhu Jinglun saw several people hurriedly burrowing into the unknown alley, and then quickly disappeared into the night, and there was another person who stayed, it was Lin Fuxiang who instructed him to protect Zhu Jinglun's Lin Zhuang.

"Your name is Lin Zhuang?"

This person is not very burly, but he can see that he is relatively strong, and he should have practiced martial arts.

"Back to the adult, the villain is called Lin Zhuang."

This person's tone was humble between the answers, and after entering the city, he shouted one by one, obviously a person with high emotional intelligence. This may be the reason why Lin Fuxiang let him be by Zhu Jinglun's side, this kind of person is more able to cope with complex changes.

Zhu Jinglun nodded: "Your surname is Lin, and Lord Lin is also surnamed Lin, dare to ask if you are related to Lord Lin?" ”

Lin Zhuang did not shy away from it: "Lord Lin is the uncle of the clan!" ”

Well, Lin Fuxiang's army is a village warrior, but it is actually a private soldier in nature, and his own relatives are reused in the private army, which is traditional, and there are many generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family in Cao Cao's army. Zhu Yuanzhang's grassroots soldiers, although they do not have the support of a big family, his sons are also good players.

It is not surprising that Lin Zhuang was brought to the army as Lin Fuxiang's relatives, and now he is explained to follow Zhu Jinglun and do a big thing to plot Guangzhou City, obviously this Lin Zhuang is also a ruthless character like Zhu Di, and he can't be confused by his humble attitude.

Zhu Jinglun didn't say much, and nodded: "You first find a place to live with me." ”

After that, the two of them walked through the streets and alleys, cautious all the way, the layout of the entire Guangzhou city is now in Zhu Jinglun's mind, this Lin Zhuang is also extremely familiar with the streets and alleys of Guangzhou, which is surprising. Therefore, the two easily avoided the foreigners and Chinese patrols in the city, and calmly returned to the alley of Zhang's house.

It is worth mentioning that there are now not only British, French, but also Indians in the foreign army, and it is embarrassing that there are also Chinese. As early as the First Great Smoke War, there were Chinese who cooperated with foreigners, but most of them were the poorest Xu people in Guangzhou, a group of people living on the water and living on boats all their lives. Because he is poor, he is willing to do anything, and he dares to do anything. They were the first Chinese to supply the British and French forces, and they are now the largest supplier of materials to foreigners. There are also a large number of poor Xu people directly joined the ranks of foreigners, a few days ago, the main force of the British and French forces went north, there were thousands of strong men following them, responsible for helping them do some miscellaneous work.

In the end, they are still poor goods, they just have no position, not only to help foreigners, but also to help Chinese, Lin Fuxiang's Yong camp also has many such poor people who are not afraid of death, Hou Jin used to be a homeless man, Zhu Jinglun knew that he was actually a Xu Min who lived on the ship in the past, but he didn't like to say it very much, obviously as a Xu Min, there is also a kind of inferiority, and the ordinary people on the shore do not understand and discriminate against Xu Min.

However, at this time, only these poor and helpless groups, such as Xu Min, actively cooperated with foreigners. By the time of the Eight-Nation Alliance, a large number of the green battalions that had been dismissed joined the British army in large numbers and became Hua Yong's direct attack on the city of Beijing.

What made Zhu Jinglun disdainful was that at this time, a number of such troops had already appeared in the city of Guangzhou. After the occupation of the city, a police force was set up, including 100 British, 50 French, and the rest more Chinese, who were not employed by foreigners, but authentic Eight Banners and Green Battalions and former servants, who were divided into six areas and patrolled all day.

Among these people, in addition to the official service, the remaining Eight Banners and Green Battalions are all under the command of the Guangzhou general Mukdenne, it can be said that the biggest traitor in Guangzhou City is Bai Gui, the acting governor of Guangzhou, but the most hardcore traitor is none other than Mukdenne, the magnate of the Eight Banners.

The funny thing is that after his death, the emperor also gave him the nickname "Qinyi".

Gossip aside, Zhu Jinglun brought Lin Zhuang to Zhang's house, because he had nowhere else to go, and he also knew that this move would make the Zhang family very unhappy.

Sure enough, the housekeeper Daniel Zhang was very angry, and in the spirit of scolding and not returning the mouth, let Daniel Zhang get angry enough, and then suggested that Daniel Zhang should report to the family first.

Daniel Zhang left angrily.

Zhu Jinglun smiled embarrassedly, seeing that Lin Zhuang still looked indifferent, he couldn't help but praise him a little more in his heart, this person was still plain when he was angrily reprimanded by Daniel Zhang, this Qi cultivation skill, it is not good to say that it is better than Zhu Jinglun.

Although Daniel Zhang still had a very bad attitude when he came back, he looked angry, but he could only let Lin Zhuang stay. Obviously, the second young grandmother of their family agreed.

If you don't agree, you can't do it, Zhu Jinglun just said that Lin Zhuang came to pick up those four foreign soldiers, and Daniel Zhang was angry because both sides said not to bring the Zhang family in, but now they directly brought people to the house, and he had enough reason to be angry. But the matter has come to this point, and the second young grandmother in charge can only say that she will let people stay first, and then let them take the foreign soldiers away as soon as possible. also said that he hoped that after the foreigners were taken away, Zhu Jinglun himself would not live in Zhang's house.

Obviously, Zhu Jinglun did not play cards according to the routine, which made the young grandmother of the Zhang family a little worried.

Zhu Jinglun agreed.

I lived in a room with Lin Zhuang at night, and I said that night, let Lin Zhuang arrange it as soon as possible, and get the four foreign soldiers away as soon as possible.

Lin Zhuang said that he would contact him tomorrow, and he could do it as soon as tomorrow night.
