Finally, the opportunity that Zhang Biwu was waiting for came! Weddell got his hands dirty! On September 19, nine days after the Mingying Water Battle on Guangzhou's inland river on September 10, Weddell set fire to three Chinese sailing boats, burned a town, and looted 30 pigs in the Humen area.

Of course, he is just trying his skills, and there will be even bigger moves in the future!

On the 19th, as soon as Zhang Biwu heard that something had happened in Humen, he knew that it was time to take action to bring Chen Qian down! put the evidence of the crime in front of Zhang Jingxin's eyes, and Zhang Jingxin considered that Chen Qian was the chief soldier of transportation, and he punished the chief soldier not long after he took office, which is somewhat unreasonable. In addition, there was another accident in Humen, although Chen Qian accepted bribes from the British, he still had to rely on him to solve the difficulties of Humen!

Chen Qian is also smart, he has never been able to catch Zhang Biwu's handle, but he didn't expect Zhang Biwu and Zhu Kezhen to join together and poke at his sore spot! The impeachment of Ling Yiqu in the military department in Beijing has just been announced, and it has not yet been able to come here, if it is transmitted here, Zhang Jingxin will definitely arrest Chen Qian to investigate his crimes.

Chen Qian thought that Zhu Kezhen and Zhang Biwu were out of breath in one nostril, and Zhu Kezhen had a relationship with Ling Yiqu when he was the deputy of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, so Zhu Kezhen would definitely invite Ling Yiqu. However, Chen Qian had the idea of luck, hoping that Ling Yiqu was not moved by Zhu Kezhen's words, or that Ling Yiqu impeached the emperor and did not believe it, so that he would survive the catastrophe safely.

Chen Qian said that he wanted to use men and horses to defeat the British, Dutch, pirates, etc., so as to prove his innocence.

Zhang Jingxin also had the mentality of protecting officials and officials, and he didn't want to make the relationship with his commander-in-chief too stiff, so he agreed, and asked Chen Qian to lead 2,000 troops to extinguish Britain and the Netherlands.

Zhang Jingxin agreed, even if Zhu Kezhen and Zhang Biwu repeatedly advised it to no avail. In the end, Chen Qian was allowed to leave with his troops.

Chen Qian's 2,000 soldiers are 1,000 of his private soldiers, and the generals of the late Ming Dynasty are selected from the army under their command to raise some people privately, and these private soldiers will get much better than others, and there are benefits to the private soldiers first, so the private soldiers are loyal to the lord, and even listen to the orders of the lord than the imperial court.

Chen Qian settled down his family, he inquired about the news from Guangdong, afraid that if Ling Yiqu in Beijing really impeached him and really wanted to arrest him and put him in prison, he would have to be an official and take these soldiers hostage to be pirates! Anyway, isn't Liu Xiang also a pirate who eats and drinks spicy food? Because Zheng Zhilong has strength in his hands, the court can only recruit an in the end.

Chen Qian planned that he had 2,000 officers and soldiers, and then slowly expanded, and then his strength would definitely be stronger than Zheng Zhilong. In that case, the court will recruit him again, and he can be the chief soldier again. Of course, this is the last resort to take, and if you can avoid it, try to avoid it.

Zhu Kezhen couldn't help but be very worried, if Chen Qian brought 2,000 people and was with the robbers, even if he was guilty, it would be difficult to catch Chen Qian, who had military power in his hands!

Chen Qian would not really drag 2,000 people to Humen, if the British caused disaster to Humen, it would be a disaster for the people! Chen Qian's 2,000 men and horses were stationed not far from Humen, but they didn't attack.

Of course, Weddell also kept an eye on Chen Qian's actions, and when Chen Qian arrived with two thousand men, the Humen Fort had already been attacked, and the guards fled without a fight.

For this reason, Zhang Biwu's they heard an unfortunate news.

Cai Jiuyi looked at the injured Zhang Pan, they were all here, at this time, Lin Xiangfeng came in quickly and said, "Oh no! Humen's Yuan Yupei is in danger! ”

"What?" They were dumbfounded! How could Yuan Yupei be dangerous? Supposedly, didn't Yuan Yupei stay at home in Dongguan? How could he run to Humen? What a strangeness! They can't figure it out.

"Alas!" Lin Xiangfeng took out Yuan Yupei's letter and let everyone listen to it. It turned out that the letter said that Yuan Yupei had made meritorious contributions because of his old friends, even if his legs and feet were inconvenient, he was unwilling to stay at home and let his children and grandchildren take care of him like a waste.

He had been thinking about the horse leather shroud when he went to Liaodong with Yuan Chonghuan in the past, and now that he finally had an opportunity, he was willing to go to the place where he needed it most to fight the robbers, even if he died in battle because of it.

Yuan Yupei even put on the armor he wore when he fought against the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Liaodong before, and deliberately went to Humen, and wanted to make meritorious contributions like his brothers, even if he couldn't make meritorious service, dying in battle was a man's wish!

He also expected that the robbers would appear in the Humen Fort again! Because they thought that they had invaded once, and the Ming army was defenseless, which is why they must come. Yuan Yupei thought that as long as he arrived at the Humen Fort, he would wait for him and it would definitely be useful.

Zhang Biwu sighed when they saw the letter written by Yuan Yupei, and Lin Xiangfeng said: "We can't watch Yuan Yupei die!" He must be saved! ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately won the approval of everyone, and perhaps God did not want to cut off the road. No, Zhu Kezhen came to report that the decree given by the imperial court had arrived, and Chen Qian must be arrested.

As soon as Zhang Jingxin received the will of the imperial court, he no longer dared to favor Chen Qian as before, and he sent someone to arrest him. That's why Zhu Kezhen ordered 4,000 men and horses to quickly arrest Chen Qian.

4,000 people will start, it will take time, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up! And they also expected that if Chen Qian heard that the imperial court was going to arrest him, and Zhu Kezhen ordered 4,000 people, he would definitely take these 2,000 people away, so that he would become pirates or robbers, which would be equivalent to one more thief, which would harm the place.

And I don't know how many troops the Ludao pirates have combined with the Dutch, British, etc., if they are more, plus Chen Qian, whether they can win or not, this is unknown.

What to do? How can we not force Chen Qian to rebel, and how can we keep Humen? The worst thing is that the defenders of Humen are not an army that can fight tough battles, Chen Qian transferred this army, first, he didn't expect the British to dare to cause trouble again, second, he also thought that if there was a case, Chen Qian would be able to escape from then on, and third, he also received a lot of money from Li Yerong and had to do things.

Now that they have a headache, how can they resolve the current crisis?

Zhu Kezhen saw Zhang Biwu thinking, and he knew that Zhang Biwu would definitely have an idea. Now Zhang Biwu is still thinking, he is thinking about it almost before he can speak out.

Zhang Biwu saw Zhu Kezhen looking at him, and he also understood that time was pressing, they couldn't delay any longer, they had to rush to Humen as soon as possible, and there were as many people as there were.

Zhang Biwu said: "For Chen Qian, what we can do is to stabilize him!" He feared that Ling Yiqu would impeach him, thereby dishonoring him and arresting him. He must have spread eyeliner widely in Guangzhou, as long as there is a stir, he can know. The edict of the imperial court, we can say that 11 days ago, the praise of the Battle of the Inland River in Guangzhou, Chen Qian is famous on the list of commendations. He was greedy for merit, and he didn't want to abandon his official position and become a pirate. Even if he was suspicious, he wouldn't move. ”

Zhu Kezhen smiled and said, "Yes! Being a pirate and a robber, this is the way Chen Qian has to go! But it means that the edict ......" Zhu Kezhen stopped talking, because he knew that Lu Dao might be guilty of changing the edict without permission.
