Touching the back of his head self-deprecatingly, he put aside these messy thoughts, and continued to look at the map of Qujiang County, the capital of Shaozhou, recalling the Dabaoshan Iron Mine and Quren Coal Mine at the southern and northern ends of Shaoguan in later generations.

is also crooked, the bottle of spring wine and Cheng Lingbei reminded him of the female colleague who looked like a star in the previous office. At that time, she talked about her parents divorced, her mother worked in Quren Coal Mine, and her father was a small leader of Dabaoshan Iron Mine, and she didn't know where to stay when she came home during the Spring Festival.

At that time, Feng Yunshan attached great importance to the hometown of his female colleague who had a crush, secretly opened the map on the computer, and found the Quren Coal Mine and Dabaoshan Iron Mine that the female colleague said, and found that the two were not far apart, one was thirty miles north of Shaoguan City, and the other was forty miles south.

Even, Feng Yunshan, who was hanging silk at that time, secretly checked the distance between his hometown and Shaoguan, and fantasized about how to go home to visit relatives if he married a female colleague in the future.

Unexpectedly, now he remembers the coal mines and iron mines in Shaozhou Mansion.

We must seize the time to get the basic industry out!

Fighting with the British, even if it was a big victory, also made Feng Yunshan feel a sense of crisis.

Even though he knew that the Crimean War would break out in a few months, and that Britain and France would declare war on Tsarist Russia a year later, the British would not be able to afford to send many troops to the Far East, but in the face of today's most powerful empire, Feng Yunshan was still highly vigilant.

Historically, Britain brazenly launched the Second Opium War against China just after the Crimean War ended in 1856. Therefore, Feng Yunshan concluded that there were only four years left for his own development.

If you want to be strong, the output of steel must be raised.

And for these prisoners and warships, Feng Yunshan has made up his mind that he will not cheapen the British.

The warship, I am worried that there is no place to buy it if I buy it myself, and it is expensive, this is sent to the door, and it is impossible to return it As for the prisoners, thinking that there must be many holy soldier brothers who were killed by these foreigners, Feng Yunshan was eager to kill them all.

But reason told him not to do that. Killing them all, just like occupying Hong Kong Island, will completely anger the British, and maybe they will not even care about the Crimea side and go straight to themselves, then it will be bad.

The captives could be returned to them, but they had to pay a ransom to make up for the losses, and at the same time, they had to do something to do with the foreigners.

Feng Yunshan made up his mind in his heart, sleepiness hit, and he fell asleep.

As a result, one night of spring dreams, one will be a female colleague, one will be Zhou Yimin, and another will be Cheng Lingbei, but it is not without a trace, and when I got up the next day, I was wet with a large patch of underwear.

Feng Yunshan couldn't help but sigh secretly: he really needs a woman.

In the morning, a messenger sent by Lin Fengxiang sent a detailed report on the Humen Fort and the British army's battle.

Feng Yunshan learned that Zhu Hong, the original second leader of Maple Village, led all the holy soldiers, stationed in the fort, fought bloodily, and finally ignited gunpowder and died with the British army, which was extremely tragic!

Feng Yunshan couldn't help sighing: There have been many strong men in China since ancient times! Feng Yunshan also felt sad about the loss of such subordinates, and the original joy of victory was diluted a lot.

At the same time, he hated the invading foreigners in his heart, and sentenced him to death from the bottom of his heart for Bai Gui, who begged the foreigners to attack Guangzhou.

An explanation must be given to Zhu Hong and the holy soldiers who died in battle!

In the afternoon, the knife hand came to report that the US chargé d'affaires in China led several other foreigners to see Feng Yunshan.

Could it be that so soon, the British came to the door? Feng Yunshan muttered, led by the swordsman, and came to the hall.

Led by two swordsmen, Bo led several foreigners through the gate of the Governor's Office, which used to be frequented. I saw that there were holy soldiers with red scarves on their heads constantly patrolling back and forth along the way, all of them were powerful and energetic, and at first glance, they were much braver and stronger than the Qing regiment yawning and listless in front of the Manchu yamen.

Coming to the Fuya lobby, dozens of brand knife players wearing yellow silk and white-edged horse coats, holding brand knives, stood majestically on both sides.

In the middle of the hall, a man in his thirties sat on a Taishi chair, with a dignified appearance, wearing a bright yellow scarf, and a pair of deep eyes under thick eyebrows. It was the rebel leader Saint King Feng Yunshan who I saw last time!

"See His Highness the Holy King!" Bo Jia's face was filled with a warm smile, and he hurriedly walked up to meet him. He was followed by four foreigners, whom Feng Yunshan had never seen.

"Mr. Bojia, I don't know what you have to do?" Feng Yunshan asked.

"Your Highness, please allow me to introduce you." Bo Jia smiled earnestly.

"That's what I told you last time, Mr. Marshali, Attorney-General Plenipotentiary for U.S. Affairs in China." Bo Jia pointed to a well-dressed foreigner with an eagle hooked nose and said.

Ma Shali hurriedly greeted Feng Yunshan, and Feng Yunshan responded with a smile.

"In the middle of this side is the third British Governor of Hong Kong Island, Minister Plenipotentiary to China and Commercial Director of China, Sir Wen Han! Next to him was Sir Translator and assistant Mr. Midley, and the other was Dr. Bao Ling, British Consul in Canton. ”

With Bo Jia's introduction, a middle-aged foreigner with blond hair in the middle greeted Feng Yunshan, stretched out his hands and wanted to shake hands with Feng Yunshan, Feng Yunshan didn't see it, turned his head to avoid it, returned to the main seat and sat down, and said: "Mr. Bo Jia, this king's subordinates were suddenly attacked by Western pirates yesterday, and they suffered heavy casualties. ”

Seeing that Feng Yunshan took the initiative to mention this matter, Bo Jia, who didn't know how to speak, just took the opportunity to say: "Your Highness the Holy King, there may be a misunderstanding in this!" Today, Mr. Marshali, Sir Wenham and Dr. Baling are here for this purpose. ”

At this time, the U.S. Commissioner to China, Marshali, who had a hooked nose, coughed and interrupted Bo Jia's words in English: "Bo Jia, is this a misunderstanding, let Sir Wen Han explain to the Holy King, you don't talk too much!" ”

Bo Jia's face changed, and he hurriedly stepped aside.

Wen Han, with ear-length blond hair, glared at Marshali disapprovingly, knowing that the damn American wanted to see his own jokes.

He politely saluted Feng Yunshan and spoke in a pure English accent, and the interpreter next to him, Midile, hurriedly repeated in Chinese: "Your Highness the Holy King, this Governor manages Hong Kong Island and affairs in China on behalf of the British Empire. I heard that there was some misunderstanding between our army and your army yesterday, and your army detained four warships and thousands of soldiers of our army. ”

"Oh, those pirates are soldiers of your army? That's impossible! Feng Yunshan pursed his lips and said: "This king received a report that yesterday there were a large number of Western pirates, with 8 warships and some other ships, and thousands of people under the leadership of the Qing Demon Boss Baigui, brazenly attacked our Humen Fort, blowing up the entire Humen Fort, killing and wounding thousands of our holy soldiers. ”

After the courageous resistance of our holy army and the local people, we finally eliminated all these pirates and sank 4 ships. I don't believe you, Mr. Minister, when you say that these pirates are your British soldiers. Is your country such a robber who invades other countries? ”

After listening to Midile's translation, Wen Han's face turned red, and he forced a smile to himself: "Your Highness the Holy King, this is a misunderstanding!" There are no pirates, even my British soldiers, who went to the Pearl River on a mission and had a misunderstanding with your army. We also ask the Holy King to return the seized warships and soldiers to us. ”

Feng Yunshan thought of Zhu Hong's tragic death, and was furious, and reprimanded: "Mr. Minister, this is not a misunderstanding, this is aggression!" It is the aggression of your army against us! For the invaders, this king will not let go easily! So, please come back. ”

Seeing Feng Yunshan's face full of anger, Wen Han and Bao Ling glanced at each other, looking bitter and helpless.

Born into the long-established aristocracy of Arith, England, Wenham never imagined that he would be reprimanded by a local rebel leader in the Far East! He was tempted to leave the rebel and declare the rebel an enemy of Great Britain, but reason told him not to!

Yesterday, when he had just returned to Hong Kong Island from Mumbai, he was shocked to hear the news that Rear Admiral Chawei led the British Far East Fleet to attack Canton and returned defeated!

After learning what had happened, he immediately announced that Rear Admiral Cha Wei had been relieved of his posts as deputy governor of Hong Kong Island and commander of the fleet, and ordered him to wait for the matter to be dealt with. If it weren't for the fact that Cha Wei also had a backstage in the Congress, Wen Han really wanted to imprison him immediately.

In desperation, Wen Han could only calm down the situation by himself. He immediately summoned the US Commissioner to China, Marshali and Bo Jia, who were staying on Hong Kong Island, and asked them to mediate.

There is no way, this time I went to London, and the foreign minister specially explained that Tsarist Russia had begun to gradually invade the Ottoman Empire, and during the special period, the British Empire had begun to shrink its forces overseas, withdraw its troops, and prepare in advance.

Against this background, it happened that the local rebel army that believed in God, which was ready to take the initiative to open the treaty ports and allow foreigners to invest in missionary work, should have taken the initiative to contact and establish friendly relations and expand their interests in China.

Unexpectedly, the stupid Cha Wei actually listened to the slander of a Manchu bureaucrat who had lost his territory, attacked the rebels who had established cooperative relations with several countries, and suffered a crushing defeat, annihilating thousands of marines.

Just then, when the American Commissioner Marshali learned that Chadwei had lost his ship to the rebels, he angrily approached him and demanded compensation.

Wen Han didn't expect Marshali to say that! He couldn't help but guess that the United States and the rebels must have huge interests, or some agreement was reached, otherwise, the United States would not have been so biased towards the rebels.

He wanted to invite Mashali to join him and put pressure on the rebel leader, but Mashali refused. Not only that, Marshali also sent a note to Wen Han, asking not to interfere in China's internal affairs, so as not to affect the business dealings between various countries and the rebels.

Although the United States does not have much influence in the Far East, it is also one of the Western powers after all, and Wen Han, as a minister to China, cannot ignore it. So he took Bao Ling, who knew the inside story, and rushed to Guangzhou with the Americans to ask to see Feng Yunshan. (To be continued.) )
