Zhu Jinglun was confused: "Who is from Nanhai County?" ”

Fang Shan said: "It's the people of Nanhai County, it's those Nanhai County Yong!" ”

Zhu Jinglun's heart moved, it's too bad, he has just been absorbed by Hua Tingjie, and now he is theoretically considered a Nanhai County Yong, why did he have a conflict with those old county Yong at this time, can he have a better life in the future?

Hurriedly asked what happened, and after asking, he sighed in his heart, this gentleman turned out to be for a woman again!

After asking about the matter, Zhu Jinglun didn't dare to delay, and immediately explained, asking Fang Shan to rush back immediately, watch Zhang Pan, the province caused a big incident, and he went to meet Ling Hua Tingjie of Nanhai County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two broke up from the customs yamen, Zhu Jinglun went directly to the east, along Xiheng Street and Dongheng Street, and went straight to the area of Wanshou Palace, where Nanhai County Yong was stationed, while Fang Shan passed through Xiezhen Daying from the small market street to Guide Gate, and went straight to Nanhai County Yamen.

Fang Shan's steps were in a hurry, but his mind was recalling what Zhu Jinglun had told him just now, to be honest, this kind of thing happened, which made him extremely annoyed, he had already missed it once, he knew that he didn't have many opportunities, with his experience in the rivers and lakes, it can be seen that Zhu Jinglun is not the kind of person who will easily trust a person, this person's trust is limited, if he is making a mistake, I am afraid that he will lose this person's trust forever.

The last time he made his own decisions and forcibly broke into Zhu Jinglun's overall situation, he was caught by the British and put in prison, although Zhu Jinglun expressed his dissatisfaction very seriously afterwards, saying "I'm very disappointed in you", but Fang Shan was not nervous, he was even more nervous that Zhu Jinglun would talk to him with a pleasant face, which meant estrangement and gave up.

Fang Shan didn't want to be given up, but now he saw a sign, Zhu Jinglun had spoken to him very politely just now, which made him panic.

He kept recalling the tone, content and look of Zhu Jinglun's speech, and he remembered that Zhu Jinglun told him that it didn't matter what happened to the young master of the Zhang family, there was only one point, that is, no one could die.

As long as you don't die!

Thinking of this bottom line, Fang Shan had already arrived in front of the county ya, and the situation at this time was as he expected, Zhang Pan took more than 100 people to block the gate of the Nanhai County yamen, and those county warriors hid in the yamen, confronting Zhang Pan's people through the gate, and the two sides scolded and scolded, and they had not done it for the time being.

It's good if you don't do it, and there won't be dead people without it.

But Zhang Pan couldn't bear this breath, scolded and didn't say anything, and people found a waist-thick beam from nowhere.

Zhang Pan ordered everyone to hit the door with the beam, and Rao is the gate of Nanhai County is heavy, it can't withstand such a collision.

This is what Fang Shan saw before returning to the county yamen, of course he wanted to stop it, the county Yong in the yamen was sent back by Hua Tingjie to guard the yamen, although there are not many people, but they now represent the county yamen, the yamen, and the government, if Zhang Pan leads people to break through the gate of the Nanhai County Yamen and kill the people of Nanhai County, this matter will be a big trouble, Hua Tingjie is absolutely impossible to ignore it, as the magistrate of the county, he must find back the majesty of the Nanhai County Ya.

If Hua Tingjie took Zhang Pan's young master's lamb out of anger, Fang Shan would not be a pity at all, but it happened that Zhu Jinglun was now under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County, and the two thousand coolies recruited, plus the more than 100 "heroes" brought by Zhang Pan, were all regarded as Nanhai County Yong, and they were under the jurisdiction of Hua Tingjie. It doesn't matter if Hua Tingjie cleans up Zhang Pan, if Zhu Jinglun is involved, Fang Shan knows that he will definitely be finished, if Zhu Jinglun doesn't use him, will he have to go back to the past days of walking the rivers and lakes and being precarious?

Thinking that Zhang Pan had caused him such a big trouble, Fang Shan couldn't help but feel angry, and the ghost made a shout.

"Stop."

Including the angry Zhang Pan, everyone temporarily stopped and looked at Fang Shan.

Fang Shan walked straight to the door and shouted inside:

"Listen, everyone inside. The so-called good saddle with BMW, beauty with hero. Since you Liu Gongzi and our Young Master Zhang both like Miss Yuexiang, you might as well compete and compete with each other, and see a high and low under your hands, whoever wins, who will belong to Miss Yuexiang? ”

There was no response inside, but Zhang Pan outside became interested and shouted loudly:

"Liu Bajin, do you dare, squeak?"

Seeing Zhang Pan take the initiative to call out for a formation, Fang Shan sneered in his heart, one against one cannot die. Thinking that Liu Bajin's horizontal flesh could teach Zhang Pan, who had been hollowed out by the wine in the gentle township of Qinglou, a lesson, Fang Shan felt that it could be regarded as a bad breath of his own.

"Grandson, it's the one who responds, if you're afraid, when you see Lao Tzu in the future, you will obediently call grandpa!"

Zhang Pan continued to shout, and the "heroes" next to him roared and coaxed.

Zhu Jinglun has also arrived at Wanshou Palace, Fang Shan went to the county government to find a group of scoundrels, but Zhu Jinglun came to Wanshou Palace to find the magistrate of Zhengyin.

Hua Tingjie is still very responsible, he can be regarded as a conscientious and good official, as for whether he is greedy or not, Zhu Jinglun is not clear, probably there is no official in the Manchu Dynasty who is not greedy, but this Hua Tingjie's reputation is good.

He was born in a serious imperial examination, in the twenty-fourth year of Daoguang (1844), in the twenty-fifth year (1845) of the Jinshi, and then went to Renzhi County, Dongguan County, and also had some actions in office, mainly to rectify the bad habit of collusion between Dongguan County litigants and county officials to oppress good people. In addition, he is also proficient in medical skills, and all those who come for treatment will immediately go to the clinic without delay.

But what really made him stand out was the suppression of the Dongguan riots, the recruitment of village warriors, and the initiative to lead the troops to attack, showing a quite capable style. Relying on military merits, he was transferred from Dongguan to Nanhai County and became the county commander of Nanhai, the first county in Guangdong.

When leaving Dongguan, the people of Dongguan wept and burned incense and knelt down, reluctant to give up. There are also people who set up a shrine next to the county government for him, and he is enshrined when he is young.

Zhu Jinglun is not familiar with Hua Tingjie, but he has heard some of his stories, and he was still a little suspicious before, but seeing what he did during this time, he thinks that most of the rumors are still credible, at least this person is a very capable person. Scholars often have low eyes and low hands, a lot of truths, but hard work but blindness, but there are also a very small number of readers, who go against this law, do everything themselves, can't rub sand in their eyes, and do things very down-to-earth. Hua Tingjie obviously belongs to the latter.

Maybe Hua Tingjie is not experienced enough in leading troops, and his operational command is not flexible enough, but he is first-class in terms of intentions.

Because of this reason, Zhu Jinglun did not see Hua Tingjie in Wanshou Palace, because Hua Tingjie went directly to the fort outside the city, and I heard that in the past few days, he has arranged defenses on the fort every day, eating and living on the fort, and he does not return to the barracks at night, leading the people to strengthen the defense of the fort layer after layer.

Zhu Jinglun had to rush to the fort, and he didn't have to pass the post, because Hua Tingjie was on the construction site, rolling up his sleeves and trouser legs, and shouting loudly to make the walls around the fort thicker.

Zhu Jinglun fortunately walked over directly and bowed down to meet:

"Humble Zhu Jinglun, I've seen Huada!"

Zhu Jinglun is now also regarded as the pipe band of the musket battalion of Nanhai County Yong under the rule of Hua Tingjie, this musket battalion is the same as Lin Fuxiang's Pinghai battalion, it belongs to the township Yong, and this pipe band can also be regarded as a temporary dispatch, it is not a formal official position, and it cannot be called a subordinate official, but it is not wrong to call it a humble position.

Hua Tingjie has never seen Zhu Jinglun, but he definitely knows the character of Zhu Jinglun, not to mention that because Bai Gui and Lin Fuxiang have their own intentions to make Zhu Jinglun's reputation very famous in Guangzhou, just saying that Zhu Jinglun sent the 2,000 British rifles, it is worth Hua Tingjie to remember Zhu Jinglun.

"It's the Zhu pipe belt."

Hua Tingjie suspended the work in his hand and raised his hand falsely.

Zhu Jinglun flattened up.

"Zhu Guan will take a look at the concern and the work done properly?"

Hua Tingjie pointed to the fortifications he had worked overtime in the past two days to direct the construction of Minzhuang and said.

Zhu Jinglun took a look and found that Hua Tingjie had not only repaired the loopholes in the wall, but also stacked a large number of sandbags layer by layer behind the wall, especially the foundation of the wall, which was a foot thick sandbags, obviously hoping to use these walls to protect the fort.

But this may not be enough, Hua Tingjie still underestimated the British naval guns, this kind of fortification is impossible to block the 32-pound cannon, because the wall base is not deep, and it is built on a sandbar, if it is bombarded by shells for a long time, it will inevitably collapse.

However, Hua Tingjie has done well enough, and if he changes other officials, he may not be as serious as him, nor may he be as hardworking, so Zhu Jinglun doesn't want to hit him.

He only said: "This fortification is strong enough, but just in case, the lord must also prepare for the Yiren to send troops to attack, and I think that if you can bury sharp trees and bamboo sticks under the surrounding water, you will definitely make the Yingyi soldiers suffer." ”

Hua Tingjie nodded: "The fortification can only be done like this." The Yangyi ships were strong and the guns were sharp, and the soldiers were brave and desperate, so they did not necessarily have the intention of sending small boats to attack forcibly. There is some truth in what you said, but it is the negligence of the official. ”

After saying that, he immediately called for men to go to the city to find a carpenter, sharpen the bamboo and wood to lay traps, and at the same time build a horse to block the enemy in shallow water.

Seeing that Hua Tingjie ordered to stop, Zhu Jinglun found time to speak again.

"Huada, the lowly is here to ask for sin!"

Hua Tingjie was puzzled: "What is Zhu Guan's crime?" ”

Zhu Jinglun said: "The lowly emperor is not strict, and he collided with the county's pro-soldiers......"

Zhu Jinglun told the original story about the conflict between Zhang Pan and other "heroes" he recruited and Yong, Liu Bajin and others in Nanhai County.

At this moment, Hua Tingjie had no time to be distracted by these trivial matters, and at the moment of the great enemy, he was focused on the defense of the fort, and then waved his hand.

"It's a trivial matter, Zhu Guandao doesn't have to take it to heart. However, the idlers recruited by Zhu Guan are also really Meng Lang, and they need to be disciplined more! ”

Seeing that Hua Tingjie didn't care about this, Zhu Jinglun had already expected it, but Hua Tingjie didn't care, but he couldn't help but hurry up to express an attitude, if he was negligent and didn't care, then Hua Tingjie would have to care, this is human affection, complicated.

Hua Tingjie's efficiency is very high, and soon his people have built a large number of rejection horses, encircled a circle on the sandbar outside the east fort wall, and also buried a sharpened rafters under the water outside the rejection of horses, as well as sharp bamboo chips, if the opponent's infantry attacked, I don't know how many will be pierced to the heart, and those who are lucky will have to tie their feet.

Fortunately, Hua Tingjie actively supervised, and as soon as he finished doing this, a huge fleet of British people appeared on the river in the early morning.

The British have finally attacked!
