At the same time, in the boxes of various restaurants, the place of the teahouse, especially the third floor of Paramount Gate, represents the place where the rich businessmen can reach, and is a symbol of identity and status. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info's face was filled with a sense of relaxation and joy that he had never felt before.

"Haha, I've never thought pirates were so cute, this thing is beautiful, it's good to slaughter foreigners on Macau Island! Finally relieved our depression back then, and didn't waste so much money in vain, so we should buy paper money for these foreigners in advance! ”

"Hehe, that is, I think back then, I just borrowed one million taels of silver, but Emperor Qianlong made a will, not only to let us merchants repay the principal and interest at double the interest, but also double it on this basis. In the past few years, under the profits, nearly 10 million taels, too many businesses have been ruined, and all the family wealth has been scattered, damn, when I think of that back then, it makes people feel aggrieved! ”

"It's good now, those foreigners who lend usury are all dead, and some businessmen are much better, they can take a breath, and avoid a family ruin, a wife separated, and children and daughters sold."

......

Some people are happy and some are sad, and there will always be people who are unhappy, and regard this disaster as a real disaster, not a timely rain.

In the General's Mansion, a faint dark cloud shrouded the sky, filled with an extremely tense atmosphere, General Sai Chong'a, Governor Na Yancheng and Governor Zhao Shanqing were sitting in the hall, everyone's expressions were not good-looking, although it was not the kind of dead father, but it was not much different.

Especially Na Yancheng, the governor of Liangguang, had a gloomy face, cold as frost, and it was so cold that people shivered. As one of the few who survived, Sun Chuanmou sat down in fear, his face was sallow, and he was embarrassed, located on the side of the hall, from beginning to end, he didn't dare to raise his head, his eyes were always dodging, and every time he felt Na Yancheng's cold gaze, his body couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, the air is not only filled with coldness, but also mixed with deathly silence, which is oppressive and breathless. As the governor of Liangguang and the head of military affairs in Guangdong Province, Na Yancheng's face was terrifyingly cold, and his eyes were eager to eat Sun Chuanmou alive, but he calmed down and was silent, but this performance was better than any angry words.

As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more depressing, more and more heavy, and even Zhao Shanqing, the governor on the side, felt uncomfortable, a little uncomfortable, and frowned slightly unconsciously.

It seemed that it was almost brewing, perhaps suppressing the monstrous anger in his chest, and then Yancheng said in a cold voice: "My Admiral, you say, how should I praise you?" How can you be rewarded for returning with the remnants of your army? ”

At this moment, Na Yancheng laughed angrily: "Haha... Sun Chuanmou, you are really my good general.... Before the operation, that rhetoric was full of rhetoric, and he pointed fingers at many generals, ordering this, ordering that, and letting whoever cooperate with your sailors' actions, as if only your Guangzhou sailors could fight in the entire Guangdong Province, what happened now? Wilted? What about the majesty of the day? ”

As soon as the words fell, the anger that was originally controlled was pulled out, and it erupted in an instant, like a surging flood that burst the embankment, and it was out of control, and all kinds of angry words from Na Yancheng came one after another, one after another, one sentence was more angry than the other, and all kinds of cynicism and ridicule came again and again.

"You said you, a dignified admiral of the Navy Division became a bare-bones commander, and the officers and soldiers of the entire Guangzhou Navy Division were lost, how could you still have the face to come back? If you die under the guns of pirates and die in the Pearl River, I can still say that you have died a heroic martyrdom, but now? It is more honorable, and it has won more glory for me, the governor, and the whole deserter has left the corpses of countless soldiers on the Pearl River and in the sea of fire. Haha, my Na Yancheng brought out a good soldier... A qualified general..."

Na Yancheng's face was close to distorting, and those words said that he was conspiring with Sun Chuan, but he was really sarcastic about himself, making him, the feudal official of the imperial court, the dignified governor of Liangguang, unable to raise his head and face others without a face.

Whether it is General Sai Chong'a or Governor Zhao Shanqing, they all understand Na Yancheng's mood, why he is so angry, and he has no longer the indifferent look of the past. As the governor of Liangguang, the operation to exterminate the pirates failed and suffered heavy casualties, no matter what the reason, he had an unshirkable responsibility, and the best situation was to lose his official position and resign.

After Na Yancheng had vented about it, his mood stabilized slightly, and then Zhao Shanqing stood up, walked towards Na Yancheng, just stopped, and persuaded in a harmonious voice: "Lord Governor, rest first, why are you so angry?" The matter is already like this, now let's discuss and discuss, how to report the defeat of the sailor to the imperial court? If there is a slight delay in the matter, it will be transmitted to the emperor first, but it will not be beautiful, and the situation will be even more unfavorable to us. ”

I don't know if I finished venting, or if I was a little tired from scolding, Na Yancheng also stopped, heard Zhao Shanqing's words, groaned slightly, and reminisced a little, feeling very reasonable, no longer paying attention to Sun Chuanmou, and began to think about it.

However, the hall had not been quiet for long, and as soon as a few people fell into thought, a rush of footsteps sounded outside, getting closer and closer. Immediately afterwards, a soldier appeared at the door, ran in a panic, and suddenly knelt on one knee, clenched his fists with both hands, his face was anxious, and he panted and said: "My lord, it's not good, the pirates have hit the west city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city are waiting for you." ”

The four people in the hall were all stunned, with a shocked look on their faces, as the person in charge of the General's Mansion, Sai Chong'a reacted instantly, and was about to walk out, as if he thought of something, he immediately stopped again, walked towards Na Yancheng and Zhao Shanqing, arched his hand, and said respectfully: "Two adults, you see, the subordinates will deal with it first....?" ”

Zhao Shanqing was still standing in front of Na Yancheng, and at the moment when the soldiers finished speaking, he saw Sai Chong'a walking towards him, interrupted Sai Chong'a's words, and said to Zhao Shanqing: "Your Excellency, why don't we go and have a look together?" After all, you are the highest military officer in the city, even though the defense of the city is under the control of General Sai."

When he heard that the pirates had actually hit the East City Gate, the anger in Yancheng's heart had just calmed down before he was able to control it, and when he heard this, he instantly poured out, rushed up, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Go, I want to go and see, where are the pirates?" Where's the night? The guts are so fat, dare to hit here, it's really boring and crooked, don't take me in your eyes! ”

Without any stay, Na Yancheng took the lead and walked away, walking in a tiger and a tiger, angry, a tyrannical anger suddenly appeared, lingering all around, Zhao Shanqing and Sai Chong A followed, Sun Chuanmou stayed in the hall, for a while, it was not to go, and it was not to stay.

Bang bang....

At the east gate of Guangzhou City, the sound of birds is constantly echoing, bullets are flying, bricks and debris on the city gate are splashing, and puffs of black smoke linger. By this time, the door had long been closed and firmly closed, and the sound of bullets hitting the door could be heard.

On the city wall, the soldiers defending the city kept coming out, shooting indiscriminately into the distance, whether they hit or not, just by pulling the trigger in their hands and firing back.

At this moment, within a few tens of meters of the east city gate, there is no common people, and farther away, some ordinary people are locked with the gates, the doors and windows are closed tightly, and there is a tense atmosphere everywhere, only the soldiers continue to reinforce the east city gate.
