After listening to Lin Zexu's story, Guan Tianpei looked at Chen Liansheng and the others: "What do Chen Zongbing and the others think?" With the military deployment carried out by me and Lord Lin in advance, coupled with the strong combat power of your Guangzhou Navy Master and Dragon God Sect, those Xiyi ghosts will definitely have no return! ”

The three high-ranking members of the Dragon God Sect who led most of the troops of the Guangzhou Navy Division to Humen for reinforcements this time, Liu Niu and Lu Zhuang all belong to the kind of people who go into battle to kill the enemy, and when it comes to communication and decision-making, it is naturally Chen Liansheng who comes to make ideas.

Hearing Guan Tianpei's words, he turned around and hugged his fists: "What Lord Admiral said is very true, and I, Elder Liu, and Lu Protector also think so. We cooperated with the brothers in the town guard of Humen to resist the enemy, and it was not difficult to keep Humen safe. Instead, I'm worried about ......"

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Lin Zexu looked at him: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, there are patriots here, and they will not leak a word." ”

Chen Liansheng also smiled: "I think that the biggest hidden danger at present may no longer be Xiyi." It's about the new minister who is coming. Before leaving, Ryujin once told us that although Borzigit Qishan was not described as mad, he was also as timid as a mouse, and he no longer had to sell his country to seek glory. It may cause some obstacles to our pre-war preparations, after all, he was sent by the Emperor of the Qing Demon, and he is still nominally the highest official in Liangguang. ”

Guan Tianpei and Lin Zexu were still a little unaccustomed to the title of "Qing Demon", and there was a trace of unnatural look on their faces, but they did not deliberately correct Chen Liansheng. They all nodded in agreement. Qishan's eagerness to sue for peace with England will indeed be their biggest obstacle.

Liu Niu and Lu Zhuang next to them both showed a trace of ruthlessness on their faces. Especially Liu Niu, this guy has already shouted: "It's okay if the Qing demon obeys me, but if he doesn't." It doesn't matter if he is the minister or the governor of Liangguang, I will go and chop it with a knife. ”

Chen Liansheng glanced at him and smiled: "Deputy Elder Liu's words are wrong, if you kill Qi Shan directly." The Manchu court must be furious, maybe even if the war with Xiyi does not stop, it will have to settle the account of killing the Qin cha first, which is not conducive to the future arrangement of the dragon god. ”

Lu Zhuang also muttered in a low voice: "It would be good if Lord Dragon God came this time, you can take the idea and not say anything, and there is always a saying that the gods secretly killed him, right?" ”

Chen Liansheng said with a smile: "This time, Lord Dragon God didn't come with me in person, in fact, he also wanted to see our ability. Lord Ryujin is so high that he can't do everything himself, and he doesn't have that much time. So this time, we must rely on ourselves to cooperate with Lin and Guan to solve the current dilemma. Lord Ryujin has two requests. First, we must not sign any treaty that humiliates the country. Second, do a ruthless Xiyi and snatch a few more steam ironclad warships. ”

When Lin Zexu and Guan Tianpei heard the discussion of the three high-level leaders of the Dragon God Sect, how to deal with the ministers sent by the imperial court, they could only pretend not to hear it.

After all, although they are a little stupid, they are not people who do not have the ability to think for themselves. Zhao Wushuang's words before had already made Lin Zexu doubt and shake the legitimacy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then passed it on to Guan Tianpei.

In addition, in their minds, the safety of the people and the dignity of China are the most important! As long as they can successfully defeat the Xiyi Fan Ghost, Chen Liansheng and the others will definitely turn a blind eye to their actions, and they may even help if necessary......

The days that followed were mainly military training.

The Guangzhou Navy Division brought advanced and scientific training methods, and Guan Tianpei, the Admiral of the Water Division, actually had the same vision as Chen Liansheng, and applauded loudly after watching them practice once. The order was immediately promoted throughout the army and skillfully coordinated, so that it would play a very important role in the future war against Britain.

In general, due to a series of policies implemented by Lin Zexu and Guan Tianpei in Guangdong before, the soldiers here were already relatively good under the entire Manchu rule. The learning speed is okay, and everything is still developing in a better direction.

Moreover, when they first transferred troops, they also kept an eye on it, and the officers and soldiers of the Guangzhou Navy Division who followed them to Humen were all very fanatical and worshipful believers of the Dragon God Sect.

So when getting along with the Humen garrison, after the grassroots generals mingled with the ordinary soldiers, they began to preach. As a result, the Dragon God Sect also began to spread rapidly in the Humen garrison, and Lin Zexu and Guan Tianpei could only acquiesce......

At the beginning of November of the twentieth year of Daoguang (1840), Qishan's mighty Qincha honor guard finally came to Humen.

Lin Zexu and Guan Tianpei naturally took Chen Liansheng and other reinforcements from the Guangzhou naval division, and a cadre of generals and court officials of the Humen garrison out of the city to greet them.

The atmosphere at this time was quite harmonious, at least Qi Shan didn't immediately attack as soon as they met. He just entered the city under the crowd and swaggered into the original governor's palace. As for Lin Zexu, he temporarily lived in Guan Tianpei's Admiral's Mansion to wait for interrogation and distribution.

After the reception banquet, everyone rested separately, and peace returned to Humen Town.

In the sailor's tent at night, Chen Liansheng, Liu Niu, and Lu Zhuang were gathering together to discuss.

Liu Niu had the strongest temper, but at this time he also tried to lower his voice and said, "Elder Chen, when will we take action to deal with this Qi Shan and his minions sent by the Manchu Emperor Lao'er?" ”

Lu Zhuang reminded softly beside him: "It's not to solve it, it's just house arrest." It is best to force him to obey our commands. ”

Liu Niu glared: "That's what I said, I mean to be under house arrest like you." "It looks a bit strong.

Chen Liansheng frowned, signaled them not to make trouble, and slowly spoke: "House arrest Qi Shan is naturally the best way, but you can't do it yet." After all, we have not yet figured out the intentions of all the generals and officials in the Humen garrison, which are the main battle faction, which are the main peace faction, and which are the surrender faction. According to the instructions of Lord Ryujin, these are all things that need to be treated differently. More importantly, our brothers of the Dragon God Sect have not yet completely infiltrated the divine power of the Dragon God into the Humen garrison, and without the support of the generals of the Humen faction, it will be more difficult to put Qin Cha and other cadres under house arrest and the rest of the main peace faction and surrender faction with lightning speed. Only if you master the majority of people here, you can hit it with one hit! We still have plenty of time to wait. ”

The faces of the three of them were clearly extinguished under the reflection of the firelight, just like the form in Humen Town now, and the undercurrent was surging!

(Two books by the same group of brothers are recommended.) Yue Qilin's "Rebirth of the Tang Crown Prince", watching the power struggle of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the excitement can't be stopped! There are also rock sugar gourds. QD's "The Great Traitor at the End of the Ming Dynasty" is also very good and worth watching. ）
