As Zhu Jinglun said, Xiao Aqiao is really an insignificant figure, this is true for Xiangyong, and the same is true for foreigners. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But Xiao Aqiao is very important to the people of Guangzhou, because everyone pays attention to him, and the people of Guangzhou are very important to both foreigners and villagers, and everyone has to fight for the attitude of the people of Guangzhou.

The foreigners hope that through Xiao Aqiao's prestige, the people of Guangzhou will no longer dare to resist the authority of the foreigners. And what Zhu Jinglun wants to do is to make the people of Guangzhou have the intention of resisting, so that the foreigners will not be able to sleep and eat, so that they have to guard against the resistance in the city, so that their troops will be even more stretched.

Another idea is that by forcing the foreigners to release Xiao Aqiao, they will take the opportunity to attack the majesty that the foreigners have established in the hearts of the people of Guangzhou, just as Pa Xiali forcibly took away the traitors who helped them from the major yamen in Guangzhou, Pa Xiali used this method to attack the authority of the Guangzhou yamen, and Zhu Jinglun also needed to attack the authority of the foreigners through Xiao Aqiao.

Therefore, as a last resort, foreigners are absolutely unwilling to release Xiao Aqiao, which is tantamount to slapping themselves in the face.

But Pashali had no choice, and when he was secretly discussing with Hurd, he had a showdown with Hurd.

Tell Hurd that he had to back down because their forces could not afford the Indians not to do their duty at this time, and they needed the cooperation of these Indians.

Hurd asked about the reinforcements again, because the reinforcements had been talked about for a long time, and the time should have arrived a long time ago, as soon as the 8,000 British troops arrived, let alone suppress the Xiangyong in Guangzhou, it would be easy to fight in Beijing, and Hurd had absolute confidence in the army of the British Empire.

Pashali told Hurd that there would be no reinforcements, that the 8,000 British troops would not come to China, that all of them would go to India, and that if it was even possible, they would sign a treaty with China as soon as possible to withdraw troops from China and aid India.

It was only then that Hurd learned top-secret information about the great Indian uprising. At the same time, he understands that they really have no choice and must let them go. Not only did they need these Indian soldiers to help them maintain order in the city of Canton, but they also needed to appease them not to rebel like their Indian compatriots.

As for whether the Chinese townspeople will release people, then it is not their concern, it is naturally better for the Chinese to release people, it is better if the Chinese do not release people, and if the Chinese kill the Indian, it will be even better, and it will directly arouse the hatred of the Indians.

But the problem is, who Xiao Aqiao asked to send out, if it couldn't be sent directly to Xiang Yong, Xiang Yong could say that they didn't see anyone, so they had to send it to Xiang Yong in person, and then the other party didn't let go of people, and the British gave an explanation to the Indian soldiers.

It's just that this kind of thing is too dangerous, the last time everyone went out to negotiate, they were all trembling, and the attitude of the village warrior really made people not see any sincerity, who dared to guarantee that the people sent out this time were safe.

In the end, it was Hurd, he really didn't want to die for success, and there was Zhu Jinglun, Zhu Jinglun who Hurd came to find, he really felt that Zhu Jinglun could help him. In addition, there are several Indian military leaders, and Pashali needs them to testify that they really released the Chinese prisoners, they have done everything they should have done, and the Chinese just don't let them go, and they can't blame the British.

So early the next morning, Hurd and Zhu Jinglun, as well as three Indian Sikh soldiers with turbans, were still under the protection of the last few Eight Banners soldiers, and they still took the family members of the Bai Gui family. It's just that Wu Chongyao, a wealthy merchant in Guangzhou, is no longer in the team, he was first imprisoned by the British, and then sent to negotiate outside the city, and returned to Guangzhou that day, and the next day he left Guangzhou quietly, and no one knows where he hid.

Eight Banners pressed Xiao Aqiao to walk out of the city, and it was not calm along the way.

At first, only a few people recognized it, shouted Xiao Aqiao, and then more and more people surrounded them.

They don't want to do anything, it's just a rarity, just like Ah Q looks at the killing head, although most people can't know Xiao Aqiao, but people who love to be lively have heard of Xiao Aqiao's name, Xiao Aqiao attacked foreigners, and that was on the notice.

It's just that when most people see Xiao Aqiao's haggard and decadent appearance, they can't help but be a little disappointed, maybe Xiao Aqiao has three heads and six arms, and they will be barbaric, and they will conform to the image of a hero in their minds.

On the contrary, Xiao Aqiao suddenly came to his senses, he thought that he was dead, and he even thought that he was taken out this time to be dragged to the vegetable market to be beheaded. He didn't care about anything anymore, but he didn't expect that when someone cheered at him, he was inexplicably a little complacent in his heart, and he felt that he could be regarded as a hero.

There were more and more people around, following a group of Eight Banner soldiers walking forward, and the Eight Banner soldiers each held their heads high, posing like uncles, quite arrogant.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Jinglun didn't know whether to sigh that the people's hearts were available, or whether he dared to grieve that the people were numb.

Hurd's mood was trembling, and he was afraid that the Chinese would kill him or detain him. But this time, it is definitely the urgent need to solve the Pasha Li, if he can succeed, he will definitely leave a deep impression on Pashali, maybe he will not be just a small consulate second-class translator in the future, maybe he will become a counselor, he will become a consul in the future, and finally an ambassador, and when he returns to England in a few years, the queen will give him a medal, and he will be able to become an upright British nobleman.

But all this is under the premise that the Chinese are trustworthy, even if they do not release the Indian soldier, at least they cannot detain him, let alone kill him.

Zhu Jinglun also didn't comfort Hurd, because in this matter, he had done too much, so he had to say as little as possible, and even from beginning to end, he didn't take the initiative to contact the British.

Fortunately, the process is still smooth, although there are quite a lot of people to follow, but most of them have no interest in following the door, because they think that Xiao Aqiao was pulled to the lively neighborhood to cut off his head, and when the time comes, they shout a few times, and they will have a capital to brag about with their friends in the future, but they actually went out of the city, where the ghost knows, everyone still has to live, and no one joins in the excitement.

Taking Xiao Aqiao to Shijingxu, they successfully found Xiangyong, and directly met the Indian soldier in the negotiation room, surprisingly, the Indian soldier not only did not look emaciated, but looked fatter than before, and the energetic even muttered and communicated with a few Chinese, which made Hurd and others confused.

Of course, they didn't know that this Indian soldier was treated by distinguished guests during this time, he ate well all day long, not to mention who was good, and was accompanied by a guide, who traveled all over the surrounding mountains and rivers, and also went to the ancient temple on the mountain, so that the old monk who was proficient in Sanskrit in the temple read a lot of scriptures.

Sikhism was born out of Hinduism, Hinduism and Buddhism are derived from Brahmanism, and many of the scriptures they study are universal, although the Indians have also lost Sanskrit, but the tone of chanting is still audible, which makes the Indian soldiers feel at home, and the only disappointment is probably that the Chinese did not find a few little girls to accompany him.

At the same time, the Chinese continue to instill in him the concept that Tianzhu and China are ancient friends, with thousands of years of friendship, and even praise that India has always been China's teacher in ancient times, and Chinese monks have visited India many times to learn scriptures. He also said that the Chinese naturally have a good impression of the Indians, and they do not want to fight with the Indians, and if the Indian soldiers do not fight the villagers, the villagers will definitely not shoot at the Indian soldiers.

Obviously, this is doing prisoner of war work, the Chinese prisoner of war work, even the old devil can be moved, let alone an Indian native soldier who has not been deeply involved in the world, of course, Lin Fuxiang's work is still very rusty, if it is Zhu Jinglun, maybe this Indian soldier directly surrenders to sincerity.

But Lin Fuxiang and they obviously also paid attention, just look at the Indian soldiers who left with the negotiation team, and constantly told their leaders about the hospitality of the Chinese along the way, and some hearsay stories of Tang monks taking scriptures, obviously the Indian soldiers were full of pride in their country's culture at this time.

Hurd was a little depressed about this, but the Indian soldier was speaking in the Punjabi dialect, and he couldn't understand it. But his mood is not bad overall, because through this incident, he has already got what he wants.

But Zhu Jinglun felt that Hurd did not get enough, because through this action of sharing hardship, Zhu Jinglun knew that Hurd's trust in him had deepened, cooperation was definitely enough, probably in the future communication with the Chinese, Hurd will definitely be willing to listen to his own opinions. What is not enough is that Hurd is just a translator and does not have much power, and Zhu Jinglun needs Hurd to be able to hold real power, at least so that Hurd can have a significant influence on the British.

Therefore, Zhu Jinglun must push Hurd one step further, so that his influence can be comparable to that of Pashali, and Pashali's power is half because of his status, and the other half is because he is a China expert. Pashali was the only one of the three members of the Occupation Committee who could speak Chinese, and under normal circumstances, his opinion would have been adopted. And Hurd's understanding of China is above Pashali, and the only thing that affects his power is his status.

For a while, Zhu Jinglun could not push Hurd to become ambassador to China, but he could greatly increase Hurd's influence, and the most direct way was to kill Pashali and make Hurd the only official in the Anglo-French alliance who knew the Chinese best!
