Pasha Li shrank stupidly in the corner of the floor of the room, his eyes glazed, but as soon as there was a little wind and grass, he immediately shrank into the corner of the wall like a frightened rabbit and shivered, and covered his ears and stole his body with a newspaper. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

No one knew that he had suffered from them, and they didn't even know if he was alive until they rescued him.

Since Erjin was appointed to China for the second time, every time he negotiated with the Qing government, he had to mention the matter of Pashali.

Pa Xia Li was kidnapped by the Chinese in Guangzhou, and at first, when Erjin protested against it with a tough attitude, Gui Liang and others, who negotiated with him, pretended to be crazy and stupid, saying that they did not know at all.

Later, Ergin changed his way and no longer took a tough attitude, he wanted to find out about Pashali's situation, but when he found out that Ergin was more concerned about Pashali, the other party actually faintly threatened, revealing that they would only release Pashali if the British accepted their conditions.

Ergin then turned to the tough and demanded that the British diplomat be released immediately, at which point the other side became confused. After being in a hurry, he was full of nonsense, sometimes asking him to go back to Guangzhou to inquire about the situation, but their ministers in Beijing really didn't know, and sometimes they said that Pa Xiali was safe in Beiping.

But later, after changing officials, he said that he was not in Beiping, and in the end, Ergin never understood where Pashali was, whether he was alive or dead.

In the end, when they negotiated with Yi Xin, Pa Xia Li directly threatened, they said that the Qing government must return Pa Xia Li, and threatened that if the Qing government executed Pa Xia Li, then it must be a prince of the Qing court.

But when he saw Pashali, Ergin didn't know what to say, he was really angry at the time, the truth completely destroyed the country, but the diplomatic responsibility was on his body, and he took care of the overall situation. It's just that in the end, in the treaty, the Qing government apologized and compensated, but this didn't mean anything to Pasha Li himself.

Ergin didn't know, not even Yixin.

In fact, at the beginning, the Qing government was very polite to Pa Xia Li, and after escorting him to Beiping, he was directly imprisoned in the third prison of the North Prison of the Criminal Department.

At that time, the officials of the Criminal Department thought that Pa Xiali was a great figure, because when the Guangzhou side escorted the prisoners, they said that this was the leader of the Yi people.

However, when Qing court officials repeatedly asked Pashali to give orders for the British and French forces not to invade Tianjin and withdraw to Hong Kong, Pashali said again and again that he did not have this power at all.

In the end, the officials of the Criminal Department also lost interest in him, and did not go to see him for a long time, nor did they interrogate him.

China's prison culture is definitely the dirtiest part of Chinese culture, and prisons are also the darkest places in China.

To the prisoners, the jailers were like the devil in hell.

Because the jailers often control the life and death of the condemned prisoners, and use them as a tool to collect money. The guards of the men's prisons will make money by intimidating and blackmailing their families, and the guards of the women's prisons are even dirtier, and some prisons are directly the Ji Yuan, and the female prisoners are the Ji women in their hands, even in the 21st century, there have been such scandals.

When no official cared about Pasha Li for a long time, the jailers thought that this person was finished, and there was no chance to turn over, and the criminal department gave Pasha Li an extremely strange charge at that time, saying that he was a rebellion, but in fact, he really couldn't find a suitable crime, because in the laws of the Qing government, there was no law against this situation at all, they could only refer to the methods in history, if the alien invasion of the central dynasty on the grassland was captured, the emperor who met leniency would be treated favorably if he wanted to show benevolence, and when the emperor wanted to establish authority, Nomadic leaders are often convicted of treason.

The jailer didn't care about this, he didn't even care that Pashali was a Yiren, he only knew that this guy had a certain crime on his back, and he would definitely die, and if there were no officials who cared, it would fall into their hands.

So the jailer began to ask Pashali, and the jailer politely told Pashali that he wanted to take care of Pashali, but if Pashali didn't know each other, he couldn't take care of him even if he wanted to.

But Pashali didn't understand the meaning, even when the jailer finally asked him to write a letter to his family, he was stupid and said that his family was in London.

The jailer couldn't squeeze the money, but he was not reconciled. In the end, a person finally thought of a bad idea, they found some good men and eight banners, said that there was a Yi man in the prison, and asked the eight banners if they dared to be interested.

These Eight Banners children who have been indulged in the gentle township for more than 200 years have completely inherited the temperament of the Jiangnan Gongzi in the late Ming Dynasty, women are tired of playing, and they play with men, but they are generally not plays, or children, but they really haven't played Yiren, I heard that they are still a Yiren leader, and immediately there are a lot of Eight Banners children who are interested, and these Eight Banners uncles sent a lot of silver to the prison guards.

As a result, the spirit of playing Pasha Li directly collapsed.

Chinese often say that the retribution of the Heavenly Dao is not happy, but it is generally a grievance, who has really seen the cycle of Heavenly Reason.

But this matter is really the report of the present world in Pashali.

This war, to be honest, Pashali should bear considerable responsibility, first of all, the pretext for the war, the Yarrow incident, which itself is an untenable excuse, the Yarrow ship is even a Chinese merchant ship, but the registration is in Hong Kong, and it has expired, and the Yarrow did hide pirates on the time there, and there was a reason for the officers and soldiers of Guangdong to arrest the pirates and crew.

But at that time, the British already wanted to start a war, and they were anxious to find an excuse, so they starved and used this incident as an excuse, and even said that when the Canton soldiers bravely captured the pirates, they tore off the flag representing the British king on the ship, which was an insult to the British.

In short, Pashali, who was looking for an excuse to start a war at that time, could never have imagined that he would be treated like this, and at that time he was bent on finding a way to almost start a war, and then grab greater benefits for his country, and then bring him greater honor, and as a result, the war started, and his country also benefited, but his honor was not obtained accordingly.

Hurd was very frightened when he saw Pashali's appearance, and he thought of the scene when he was Pashali's deputy, when he was also a little complacent, and felt that his future was bright, and only after the war was over, he would be able to change his fate and embark on a fast track to serve his country and improve his status.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Pa Xiali was kidnapped, and the person who planned the kidnapping was that Zhu Jinglun, and Hurd used to have a close relationship with Zhu Jinglun, but after arriving in Hong Kong, he was treated coldly, and for a while he fell from a bright future to darkness.

Later, when he could not see hope, Zhu Jinglun wooed him again, and the Hong Kong government and Erjin also persuaded him to accept the employment of the Chinese, and then tasted the sweetness of Zhu Jinglun giving him power, and for a while Hurd was really happy, not because of the happiness brought by seeing the hope of improving the family status, but simply the satisfaction of an aspiring man who felt that he showed self-worth.

So for a long time, Hurd forgot the pain that Zhu Jinglun brought him, but today he saw the tragic experience of Pa Xia Li, who was kidnapped by Zhu Jinglun, and the new hatred and old hatred surged into his brain, and he felt that the leg that was blown off by Zhu Jinglun and the face that was broken were faintly painful, and he felt abnormal anger and pain.

"Mr. Ergin, I think we should try to send troops to Guangdong!"

Hudmanhan said this angrily.

Ergin looked at him, thoughtful, but eventually shook his head.

"Mr. Hurd, we are diplomats, and we are responsible for the interests of the country, and we cannot mix personal feelings with each other."

Ergin knew that Hurd's experience was somewhat similar to that of Pashali, which was also the purpose of him letting Hurd come to visit Pashali, because he just felt that when Hurd was talking to him, some places were speaking for the Chinese, and he had to correct Hurd's position, so it was very necessary for Hurd to see what a barbaric people the Chinese were.

Seeing Hurd's appearance, Ergin knew that this had worked, and that a similar encounter with Pashali gave Hurd a feeling of sadness and sadness, which helped to bring his position back to the side of England and continue to serve the queen.

Ergin came from a family of diplomats, he understands diplomacy, but he is more of a politician, so he also uses these political methods, which in China is called power tricks.

Succeeding in reminding Hurd of his hatred, Ergin invited him to talk about the current situation, and Ergin sensed that he was a little skeptical of Hurd's judgment.

It is another preconceived notion that Westerners are self-centered and have a serious sense of self-centeredness, and always feel that the world revolves around them, and their norms are the best, and the whole world should echo this norm, otherwise it will be barbaric. They are accustomed to interpreting the world with their own worldview, and they will only change others, not themselves.

When he found out that Hurd had brought his personal feelings into his work, Ergin also had doubts about Hurd's previous judgment, coupled with some long-standing conceit, he did not think that Hurd's judgment was more accurate than his, and he was biased to think that the purpose of the armed army of the local forces in Guangdong was to fight against their imperial court, and the local forces in Guangdong went to Britain to carry out diplomatic activities, and they were about to form their responsible government.

As for Hurd's Chinese rules, which he completely couldn't understand, he slowly decided that Hurd's misjudgment was influenced by emotion.

Coupled with the fact that some people are always more willing to believe those that they are willing to accept, Ergin is unwilling to accept that the Guangdong region is only using force against the British and trying to keep their land, because if this is the case, it means that Ergin will continue to communicate diplomatically with the Qing government, and he really does not want to explain to this government anymore, and subconsciously he has already had the idea of expecting the people of Guangdong to form a better government.

So he was happy to trust his own judgment and that the local forces in Guangdong were seeking to establish their own responsible government, because he was happy to see the division of the Guangdong region from the Qing Dynasty.

Based on this judgment, he again sent Wittoma to Xin'an to express their attitude to the people of Guangdong. (To be continued.) )
