Soon after the telegram from the governor of Xiying asking for help was sent, Xiying received an urgent telegram from Tang Baichuan, saying that the Li rebels intended to make a rebellion near Guangzhou Bay, in a place where the management of the chemical and legal persons was negligent, and for the sake of everyone belonging to the Entente, the patrol envoy Chang Zhenbang specially ordered the envoy of Gao Lei Town and the Guangdong naval fleet to support the French if necessary, so that they would not be harmed by the mob, of course, in view of the fact that this place was already a French leased land, without the approval of the French authorities. The naval and land forces of Guangdong will not be able to enter the leased territory, but it is really unimaginable what kind of atrocities those well-equipped and well-trained mobs will commit after entering the leased territory, and it is hoped that the Guangzhou Bay authorities will recognize the reality and make the most advantageous choice.

The governor of Xiying was annoyed and angry: "These oriental monkeys dare to threaten us, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead!" Wouldn't it be possible for us to guarantee the safety of the entire Guangzhou Bay leased land without them? ”

The secretary on the side said: "We are not afraid of the mob, what we are afraid of is that these Chinese soldiers disguise themselves as mobs to attack our Guangzhou Bay leased land, because the Guangdong government has sent a telegram to remind us that if we do not allow them to carry out joint defense with us now, once something happens, it is impossible for us to shirk our responsibilities and ask the Chinese government to do something." ”

The governor of Xiying said: "Your idea is very good, it is very suitable for government affairs, if you sit in my position, how should you do it?" ”

The secretary thought for a while and said, "The British and the local warlords in Guangdong colluded with each other and supported each other to obtain a lot of strategic materials, so the British army in the European battlefield was better supplied than our country's army......"

"Don't talk about this, tell us what to do in front of us!" The governor of Xiying interrupted him stiffly and asked.

The secretary only promised: "We have to agree to the joint defense of the warlords of Guangdong, and on this basis, we will understand and support each other to expand our power in the entire China Peninsula, which is the action that the governor should take at present~!" ......" Before he could finish speaking, the governor of Xiying kicked him in the stomach, swallowed his next words, and said angrily: "When will the invincible French warriors of the era of Emperor Napoleon be scared away by those yellow monkeys!" It's impossible! The secretary rolled on the ground holding his stomach and said: "After the withdrawal of the local fleet in Guangdong, it is the time for the Chinese army to attack us after makeup, Your Excellency thinks twice......

At this moment, an official of the leased area came running and said very happily: "The Guangdong local fleet has been expelled by my brave and fearless naval officers. ”

"Report! Countless Chinese soldiers outside the city began to enter the sphere of influence of our leased land, and preliminary statistics showed that there were about 3,000 enemies, and our leased land was outnumbered, and now it has retreated to the leased land. ”

The governor of Xiying was so frightened by the news that he turned pale, cold sweat flowed, and he trembled for a long time before he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Send someone immediately to ask for instructions on how to deal with the Guangzhou Bay Administrative Minister!" ”

Before the sent horses could go out, a heart-rending sound came from outside the door.

"The Governor General ordered the Governor to order that the French sea and land men in Guangzhou Bay immediately cease all resistance."

Then a colonial official who looked like an Annam man strode up to the governor of Xiying, handed over the telegram in his hand to the governor of Xiying, and the governor of Xiying finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately hurriedly sent a telegram to the Guangdong fleet and the Guangzhou patrol envoy Yamen, inviting Chang Zhenbang to send people to discuss the issue of the joint defense of Guangzhou Bay.

Chang Zhenbang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent a telegram to the Guangdong fleet, entrusting Tang Baichuan as the plenipotentiary representative of the patrol envoy to discuss the issue of joint defense with the chief administrative envoy of Guangzhou Bay.

Wen Shude, who received the telegram, happily ran to Tang Baichuan and said excitedly: "My lord, my lord, it's done, it's done." ”

Tang Baichuan looked back and smiled, took the telegram, and after reading it, he said lightly: "Turn the bow of the ship and go straight to Guangzhou Bay!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Wen Shude happily put the order down. The entire Cantonese fleet erupted in a tsunami-like cheer, and the huge cruiser quickly turned around, and in the midst of the rapid inspiring huge waves, the waves roared and crashed around the sea, and many of them fell on the French fleet, making many French officers and men become chickens in the soup, and these arrogant Caucasian people were very angry and asked the commander to fight, to teach these yellow monkeys a little lesson.

The commander of the French Canton Bay fleet naturally also received a telegram from the governor of Xiying, and he naturally felt great indignation at his pride as a Frenchman, long live France, when did he fall to the point where he needed to rely on the protection of these monkey-like Orientals, although emotionally he was a million unwilling, but intellectually he also knew that this was the safest way to hold the Canton Bay colony, and at present, the entire French naval and land fleets had been sent to Europe to fight fiercely with Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Turkey in the Mediterranean, He also had to be on guard against the attack of the German navy at all times, and he couldn't take care of the ancient East when he was overstretched, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but be sad and weep.

"Your Excellency, these yellow monkeys are too deceitful, give the order to go to war!" A naval lieutenant officer said angrily.

The commander sighed and said, "The duty of a soldier is to obey, Your Excellency the Governor, Your Excellency the Minister-General, and Your Excellency the Governor of Xiying have all sent a telegram, and we, as soldiers, must obey the orders of the Superior!" The order was passed down, and the entire fleet formed a welcoming formation to lead these yellow monkeys into Guangzhou Bay! ”

"Your Excellency, where is your honor!" The major roared angrily.

The commander gritted his teeth and said: "All the shame we have suffered today is for the sake of the motherland. Do what you command. ”

"Your Excellency, you have disappointed us so much!" The major said fiercely and turned to go.

The commander tearfully led the Guangdong fleet into the port of Guangzhou Bay, the Guangdong fleet cheered and carried Lin Baoyi with four sailors to set foot on this strange and familiar land, once upon a time this was also one of the patrol areas of the Beiyang Naval Division, I didn't think that they would re-enter this land with such a posture in their lifetime, tears in their eyes, the military song was loud, a Buick car was parked steadily on the port, and a government clerk who looked like an Annan respectfully took Tang Baichuan and Wen Shude away, As for the rest of the navy, they all stayed in the port area.

The officers and men of the French Canton Bay Fleet looked at these Orientals angrily, shouting and cursing one by one, and the fleet commander ordered to strictly guard against the provocations of the Chinese on the one hand, and on the other hand, the people who were guarding their side should not be overly excited.

After receiving a telegram from Chang Zhenbang that he had been assigned to Guangzhou Bay to join Tang Baichuan in a meeting with the French on matters related to the joint defense of the mob, Long Shichu, outside Zhanjiang, immediately ordered all his troops to stop the attack and retreat into the city of Zhanjiang.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, he couldn't help but burst into tears, all these years of fighting on the battlefield, victorious, defeated, lost, won, but always fighting with the Chinese themselves, no matter what under what banner, looking back there is no essential difference at all. But this time it was different, marching into the leased land, so that these former high-spirited foreign devils lowered their noble heads, what a majesty, the battle to this point he finally had a little feeling, immediately ordered to take three or four administrative officials, after hearing the news of the officers and soldiers who were scrambling to join the escort regiment, selected a battalion of troops as escorts, swaggered into the city of Xiying.

Who knew that after Tang Baichuan and Long Shichu arrived in Xiying, the governor of Xiying did not mention everything, only said Fengyue, Long Shichu couldn't bear it, and wanted to unite Tang Baichuan to break into the Minister's Mansion many times, hoping to get things done as soon as possible, who knew that after Tang Baichuan arrived in Xiying, he was poetic and drunk, and he decided not to mention political affairs, that is, Long Shichu looked for him several times, and let him plan to leave.

"Wait, wait, Chief of Staff, when are we going to wait!" Long Shichu said a little anxiously.

"Wait until the French have made up their minds." Tang Baichuan said with a smile.

"When was that?"

Tang Baichuan said: "This place is good for wine, good meat, and good hospitality, so what if you wait for him?" ”

A few days later, the French envoy-in-chief in Canton Bay sent the "Canton Bay Joint Defense Agreement" drafted by the governor of Annam, Charro, allowing the local government of Guangdong to send a naval commissioner of commerce to Guangzhou Bay to work with the French to defend Canton Bay and its vicinity from harm.

The two sides then conducted in-depth discussions on the defense agreement, and finally finalized the French national treatment for the Naval Commercial Commissioner. A small squad of marines under his command is to assist the Minister General in defending against rebellion, and the term of office is at least three years, and the maximum is five years, which shall be decided by the local government of Guangdong and the General Legation of Guangzhou Bay. A battalion of the Guangdong Army was stationed in the vicinity of Guangzhou Bay, and its military expenses were funded by the Guangzhou Bay General Legation and the Guangzhou Local Government.

After the agreement was finalized, Tang Baichuan, the French minister-in-chief, and Long Shichu signed and signed respectively, and the Sino-French "Guangzhou Bay Mutual Defense Agreement" officially came into effect.

At the same time, Tang Baichuan officially appointed Chen Ce, a lieutenant colonel of the Guangdong Navy, as the first naval commissar of commerce, stationed in Guangzhou Bay, and seconded 50,000 military expenses from the Gaolei town guard Yamen to build the naval and army battalions and the commercial commissar Yamen.

After it was roughly finalized, as for those small and unspoken details, it was handed over to Chen Ce for the specific ending.

After the signing of the joint agreement, the whole of Guangdong boiled, and as the news broke, the central government in Beijing immediately sent a commendation order, although this time it did not completely recover Guangzhou Bay, but it also greatly boosted the confidence of the Chinese people.

President Feng Da is suffering from Premier Duan's aggressive armed conquest to make a plummeting prestige can not save himself, after the news came, eyebrows and smiles, China has been subject to foreigners for fifty or sixty years, I didn't expect to come to such a thing in his own hands, even if he has achieved nothing, this alone can also be famous in history, Feng Guozhang cried with joy, and immediately issued a presidential decree to reward Chang Zhenbang, canonized him as the general's general Yuewu, Tang Baichuan received the rank of lieutenant general, Lin Baoyi was a navy admiral, and Wen Shude was a vice admiral. Premier Duan also used this as an excuse to trumpet the efficacy of military conquest, and played President Feng Da to reward the Guangdong Navy with 100,000 oceans. With a stroke of his pen, Feng Guozhang raised the reward to 200,000. After hearing the news, Sa Zhenbing of the Admiralty burst into tears, ordered the Navy to cancel the punishment of the Guangdong Navy's rebellion, strictly forbade anyone to bring up the old matter, and transferred two light cruisers from the Admiralty, and two transport ships sailed to Guangzhou to supplement the Guangdong fleet.

The Kunming Protector Military Government made a different voice, they thought that Chang Zhenbang's behavior in Guangzhou Bay was unseemly, and once the act of grandstanding provoked the French, after all, it led to a war between countries, but fortunately, the French were more restrained, so that Chang Zhenbang's treacherous plan succeeded, and the incident of the navy stationed in Guangzhou Bay was actually a concession by the French as a civilized gentleman to the barbaric acts of the warlords in Guangdong, and he asked Chang Zhenbang to withdraw from the garrison in Guangzhou Bay and recall the Navy Commercial Commissioner, only in this way can the war be eliminated. Safeguard the best interests of the country.

Not to mention that this argument was supported by the French and the Indochinese Confederation, and invited Sun Monkey to quickly appoint a commercial commissioner to Guangzhou Bay to maintain the traditional friendship between the Chinese and French people, which was naturally an invitation on the surface, but secretly Governor Annan let people warn Sun Monkey that he had given him 10 million francs as a revolutionary fund, and at this time as a Chinese you should have something in return.

Sun Monkey is a clever person, immediately sent a commercial commissar headed by Cheng Biguang to arrive in Guangzhou Bay via Hanoi on a French military ship, and was warmly welcomed by the governor of Xiying, the consul general of Guangzhou Bay, and held a grand welcome banquet that night, after Chen Ce heard the news, he immediately sent people to sneak into Zhanjiang, find Chang Zhenyan's intelligence base, let them enter the Guangzhou Bay lease overnight, hide outside the banquet hall, and after the banquet, take advantage of the mixed situation, quickly send troops to arrest Cheng Biguang and others, When the French patrol went around, they encountered the Marine Corps in disguised obstruction in the name of military defense, unable to carry out effective rescue operations, and waited until the Marines returned to the camp, the French patrol rushed over, but at this time Cheng Biguang and others had been dragged to the outside of the Guangzhou Bay colony, one by one, the lower half was buried in the soil, was opened by the scalp, poured mercury, the face was hideous, the body was twisted to death, it is said that some people broke free from the shackles of the scalp, died three or four meters away.

It's too cruel, but it's still too light for seditions and conspirators to impose such a penal sentence, after all, I don't know how many people died in the war, how many families were destroyed, so no matter how they dealt with it, it didn't seem like a big deal.

When the news came, Chen Ce was very angry, and he was busy with the frightened Minister General of Guangzhou Bay to convene an emergency meeting, Chen Ce said: "The two largest riots in China today are the national riots caused by injustice, the Miao rebellion and the Li rebellion, and the other riot is the so-called revolution caused by Sun Monkey. The former is leveled through the concept of fairness and justice, while the latter is frenzied and irreconcilable, and in order to gain power, he does not hesitate to betray the interests of the country and cause rebellion. ”

The Minister General of Guangzhou Bay said: "Please allow me to refuse such opinions, after all, the political situation in your country is unstable, no one can predict tomorrow, Mr. Zhongshan is not without opportunities, what do you think, Mr. Chen?" ”

Chen Ce said: "Sun Monkey's hardcore Dongying elements, it is said that in order to get close to Dongying, his surname was changed to Zhongshan, and now it is strictly forbidden to call him Mr. Sun within the revolutionary party." ”

"We don't have the right to interfere with other people's races, surnames and other godsends, do we?"

"Dongying has always been committed to dominating China, which was vividly demonstrated in the European war! And Sun Monkey also made a big promise that once the revolution succeeded, he would take back all the rights and interests, and at the same time he would negotiate all these rights to Dongying, these are all open secrets, does the chief minister think that this is all a lie? After Chen Ce finished speaking, he said in a low voice: "What is written in the outline of Sun Monkey's founding of the country, the chief minister may wish to get a copy and take a look." It's impossible to fake it in black and white! ”

Minister General of Guangzhou Bay thought for a moment and said, "What you said is not unreasonable, Mr. Chen, it is the French principle that all eggs should not be put in the basket. ”

Chen Ce said: "Chang Daren has a good cooperative relationship with the British Empire, and the new British Minister in Guangzhou is Chang Daren's good friend His Excellency Lord Basiri. Adults will guarantee the interests of their European friends, don't the French need the friendship of adults? Guangzhou, Jiangxi, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, the six richest provinces of China are under the control of the Lords, don't the French want us to trade further with each other? ”

The Minister of Guangzhou Bay pondered for a moment and said: "The friendship between Lord Chang and the British Empire is admirable, and France also hopes to obtain such friendship, but for the attitude of the revolutionaries, I hope that Lord Chang will send a representative of great weight to the Governor of Annam to negotiate." ”

Chen Ce said: "I understand the meaning of His Excellency the Minister-General, Chen Ce will definitely play Lord Chang, I believe that Lord Chang also longs for the friendship of France, but for the revolutionaries near Guangzhou Bay, I, as the commercial representative of the Navy, cannot sit idly by!" If I find out that these people are plotting to riot, I will not hesitate to punish them! ”

The Minister General of Guangzhou Bay thought for a moment and said, "Sufficient evidence is sufficient, after all, stability is the first priority of rule!" ”
