Cai Shiwen passed the news to the prefect of Guangzhou, and sure enough, the adults were furious and almost sent Cai Shiwen to prison directly.

For the Guangzhou government, the annoyance is not that the people are untrustworthy, they said that they would release the people in exchange for the withdrawal of the army, and suddenly changed their words, and the Yi people are not trustworthy in their eyes, even if the businessmen generally feel that the foreign businessmen are more trustworthy than the government, but it does not prevent these civil officials who do not understand the foreigners and do not bother to understand the foreigners firmly believe that the Yiren are untrustworthy and unrighteous people.

The government was annoyed by the demands made by the other party. It doesn't matter if you lose money, 200,000 silver dollars is not much. It is difficult to accept an apology, and it is unreasonable for them to apologize to Yiren! There is no need to consider opening up the trade of Xiangshan and Dongguan; And setting aside land for the British to live in is simply violating the bottom line.

The officials of Canton were well aware of the problems posed by allowing the Portuguese to live in Macau, and the governor's attention was always drawn to the attention of the governor in the history of conflicts between foreigners and locals. And the Portuguese live in Macau, and it is impossible to be free from conflict. For this reason, the Guangdong government has not been less direct to the emperor's level, from Kangxi to Qianlong, in order to solve the problem of Macao, it has to change a lot. For example, the reason why Yin Guangren went to Macao to formulate those maritime trade systems was because the Xiangshan County Governor always protected foreigners, and the Governor of Liangguang thought that the official position of the county magistrate was too small to deter the Yiren, so he suggested that a Tongzhi should be set up to manage the affairs of the Yiren. Because the re-establishment of officials was too noisy, the imperial court suggested that the Haiphong Tongzhi of Guangzhao Luodao be moved to Macao to directly deter the Yi people, and this was the matter of Yin Guangren's appointment as the Tongzhi of Macao.

A small area around Macao, the general tax customs is located in the city of Macao, the county Yamen is located at the gate gate, the coastal defense Tongzhi is in the former cottage, and there is also a Xiangshan County, Humen is also stationed in this water division, these are all for the purpose of preventing the razing, and now they have to open up a piece of land for the British, how many official offices have to be attached, it is not the Guangzhou government can decide, and the movement is too big, the reason why they negotiate with the foreigners is that they don't want to make a big fuss, and finally the emperor investigates it, if the requirements of the Yiren are met, but the matter will be made bigger.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Guangzhou government to agree to these conditions.

But they didn't send Cai Shiwen to reply, but just as if nothing happened, they hid in the city and didn't say a word, according to the adults, that is, to hang the ghosts for a few days, to see that they can't trade for a few days, and when they can't hold on, they naturally ask to come to the door, this is the understanding of the Guangzhou officials to the foreigners who come to trade, thinking that the other party comes to trade is completely begging for the Qing Dynasty, without trade, they will starve to death.

In addition, the government still has a group of prisoners in its hands, and the staff of the East India Company and an important crew member of the Harald ship have not been released, and they are not afraid of turning people upside down.

It was three days, and Magalny was disappointed, but Colin was happy.

Since Magalny came to Whampoa, Colin was very dissatisfied because Magalny had decided to negotiate with the local government.

Colin strongly demanded an attack on Guangzhou, even if it was a negotiation, it must be negotiated after the capture of Guangzhou, he believed that if the Qing Dynasty was not given enough pressure, the other side would not negotiate on an equal footing, and also slandered the Chinese as having no credit, even if the other party made a promise, it was meaningless, and he had seen many of these situations in India, and finally had to use force.

But who knows which of Magalny's nerves was deranged, and after seeing that half of the hostages had been released by the Canton government, he had the idea of negotiating with the other party, and resolutely opposed Colin's request for military action during the negotiations.

So since Magalny came to Whampoa, Colin and Magalny had serious disagreements and conflicts.

But after Magalny asked Cai Shiwen to bring the other party back to Guangzhou, Guangzhou did not send anyone to contact him for three days, which gave Colin the upper hand immediately, and the request for military action was even more convincing.

Magalny sighed and agreed to Colin's request for military action.

And so the battle began again.

This time, Colin was more aggressive than the last attack, attacking from multiple directions, occupying the thirteen merchant halls in the southwest of Guangzhou City, and landing all the way up the river from the northwest of the city, outflanking the high ground in the north of the city, and capturing the forts in the northeast of the city.

Due to the advantage of the waterway, Colin's action was completely unstoppable by the Qing army, and the merchant hall area soon fell, and then Colin personally led people to land in the northwest of the city, and launched an attack on the Yongning Fort on Panlonggang, Yuexiu Mountain, commonly known as the Sifang Fort, and after paying more than a dozen casualties, he repelled more than 1,000 people who defended here, captured this fort, and now can launch an artillery bombardment on the entire city of Guangzhou.

As far as the Qing army was concerned, all the important places near Guangzhou were lost, and 18,000 Qing troops retreated into the city, and the order was in chaos.

Calling so many people to come, the reason is very simple, you have to be responsible, then you can't carry the black pot alone, everyone has a share, and no one will bite anyone when the time comes.

But there is still one person who did not come, the Guangdong Customs Supervisor Shengzhu, who has been closed to the door for the past few days, and treated these things he provoked as if they had nothing to do with him, which really made Guangdong officialdom despised, but there was nothing to be done, but this time Shengzhu did not appear.

sent someone to invite, but the other party did not open the door, Changlin decided to invite in person, because now that the tide is rising, there is a top tank, and the current dilemma is easier to solve.

Changlin also brought a piece of news, a piece of good news, he went under the banner of congratulations, not mentioning the artillery fire outside the city at all, so that people prepared gifts, and sat in a sedan chair to visit the customs yamen to live.

"I'm an idler, what joy can I have?"

Sheng Zhu really showed the appearance of a scoundrel, and completely ignored himself and the siege of the city in front of him.

Changlin didn't break it either, and said with a smile: "Haven't you heard that Lord Sheng has been talking to adults about the history of the scriptures recently?" ”

Although Sheng Zhu is a royal family, and he sits in the position of customs supervisor known as the Son of Heaven Nanku, he has always been very well-informed, but he is still not as good as Changlin, the governor of Liangguang, especially in the case of the siege of Yiren, Sheng Zhu's private channels have been greatly affected, and He Shen's tone has always been very tight, and it is easy not to reveal his tone if he does not give money.

Therefore, Changlin is very sure that Sheng Zhu must not know about this secret that just happened from Beijing.

Sheng Zhu doesn't know, and he doesn't care, Lord Qianlong is studious, or so easy to show, what's so strange about talking about scripture and history with the minister, what's so strange about this.

So Yin Yang said strangely: "The master's matter, where can I know if I am a slave next." ”

Changlin smiled: "Lord Sheng is humble, the royal affairs, Lord Sheng is not an outsider. Besides, this matter is about the grand family, and the adults really don't know? ”

As soon as he heard that it was related to his own family, Morizumi immediately reacted, but he really didn't know.

Hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency Governor, don't be sloppy, just say it." ”

Changlin said with a smile: "I talked to the emperor about Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, what do you guess the emperor said?" ”

Sheng Zhu is puzzled, what does Zhu Yuanzhang have to do with his family? He was born in the Sheng family, and he can't fight with the eight poles of the founding Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't fight with the eight poles of the chaotic party of the Heaven and Earth Society, and said What can Zhu Yuanzhang do with the Sheng family?

"Don't sell it, if you don't say it, I have to send off guests here!"

Changlin smiled and said, "What are you anxious about." Long live the Lord said that Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to his grandson, burying the bane of cannibalism later. ”

Sheng Zhu thought that Changlin was still selling Guanzi, and said hurriedly: "Just say that there is something wrong with my family!" ”

Changlin sighed: "Why can't you hear this?" It's a grandson's business. Long live the Lord said that he can't pass on his grandson! ”

Changlin is indeed helpless against a guy like Shengzhu who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, so he simply breaks it directly.

At this time, there was something that Sheng Zhu didn't understand, and he immediately stood up in surprise.

Qianlong said that Zhu Yuanzhang directly bypassed his sons and passed the throne to his grandson, which is the root of the bane, so of course Qianlong Ye can't leave a bane for the Qing Dynasty, and it is impossible to bypass his son to set up a grandson, the meaning is not obvious, that is, it is impossible for Qianlong Ye to establish Mian'en, and if he doesn't establish Mian'en, of course he will be Li Yanyan and his brother-in-law!

Hearing this, how can Sheng Zhu not be happy? This is really a great event.

But Sheng Zhu was too composed, and asked a supplementary question: "Is the news reliable?" ”

Changlin is a calm person, and he doesn't want to say more: "That's all the words, that's all the words!" ”

Sheng Zhu smiled: "Yes, yes, don't ask, don't ask." Say, you have something to do with me? ”

Sheng Zhu is the royal family, Changlin's identity is not ordinary, this is not the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the official can be the governor, few really rely on the imperial examination, completely rely on ability to come up, Changlin's identity can be seen from his surname, he is Aixin Jueluo, surnamed Jueluo, to put it bluntly, he is a clan. If Sheng Zhu is not the emperor's family, and his brother-in-law is basically going to be the emperor, it is impossible for Changlin's identity to invite him in person.

It is precisely because Changlin is a clan, and Sheng Zhu is a close relative of the imperial family, so the two of them talk so casually, after all, they are both powerful children's circles, who doesn't know who, they don't see when they look up, and they don't talk as much as they talk about with Han officials.

Changlin snorted, "Are you okay?" Let's go, the other adults are waiting, whether it's war or peace, you have to get ideas together! ”

Sheng Zhu still didn't want to go: "You are the governor, you don't have to make up your mind, I have a small customs superintendent, I am looking after Kumen'er for the Long Live Lord, what idea can I have!" ”

Changlin said excitedly: "What the hell is going on, you know better than anyone else. I won't say anything ugly, if you continue to make trouble like this, the fifteenth master's face is not good-looking. Why don't I let me send a letter to the fifteenth master? ”

The fifteenth master is the fifteenth son of the emperor, and it is Shengzhu's brother-in-law Yan Yan, and his face changed when he mentioned Yan Shengzhu.

Waving his hand: "Yes." Don't mention the fifteenth master, I can't go with you!

said that Yan Yan was angry, although he wanted to fight for Yan Yan's face, but his brother-in-law didn't appreciate it.
