Li Xian led a large group of people from the Kowloon Peninsula all the way to the waters near Guangzhou, and then unloaded and landed in the waters near Sanyuanli.

The whole process went terribly smoothly, and the expected heavy resistance of the imperial officers and soldiers did not appear, but when they passed near the Humen Fort, the local garrison sent two small boats over, saying that they were going to carry out inspections, but they were also easily repelled by the escort.

Li Xian suddenly realized at this point, no wonder the Qing Navy Division was bullied to death by the British during the entire Opium War, and it was really weak, and he had no combat ability at all.

Besides, now is also the time when the Guangdong sailors are the weakest.

In the past, the Guangdong sailors fought several battles with the British, and each time they were almost completely wiped out, losing dozens of ships, and now they have almost exhausted the original small family resources.

According to Li Xian's original plan, he didn't want to stop in the middle, but Wang Jiuxuan pointed out that the wounded soldiers needed to be treated, and the prisoners needed to be dealt with (more than 100 people were captured in the battle), and said that the vicinity of Sanyuanguan was absolutely safe, and officers and soldiers would never dare to go to Sanyuanguan.

With Wang Jiuxuan's repeated invitations, coupled with some vague thoughts in Li Xian's heart, Li Xian decided to go to Sanyuanguan first, and continue to Leizhou after a short rest.

When they arrived in Sanyuanli, the people of Sanyuanguan were a little overzealous, mobilized thousands of villagers to help transport goods, and warmly invited everyone to Sanyuanguan to rest.

Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, Li Xian's heart twitched, this is obviously a problem, but at this time, he can't turn around and leave, so he can only go to Sanyuanguan first and see the situation.

As a Taoist temple that has been inherited for hundreds of years, the Sanyuan Temple occupies a huge area, so it vacated a remote courtyard for Li Xian and others to store artillery, gunpowder, shells, etc.

The Xuanzheng Guan Master of the Sanyuan View came over and stroked the heavy cannon brought by Li Xian, looking extremely happy.

"Is this the foreigner's heavy artillery, it really looks very strong.

Yuan Fang, come over here, and the two of us will try this cannon together. Hyun Zheng said excitedly.

The elder named Xuanzheng came out and carried the heavy cannon together, and the two of them picked up the cannon barrel and put it down, and shook it three times in a row before they put it down.

"Yes, even if this cannon doesn't have 5,000 catties, it's at least 4,500 catties. "Xuan Zhengguan commented on it.

Li Xian felt a cold sweat on his body, are you two monsters, such a heavy cannon can be lifted by two people.

The cannon that Xuan Zheng and Yuan Fang carried was a 30-pounder cannon, and according to the artillery standards of this era, the weight of the cannon body was 150 to 160 times that of the cannonball, which means that the weight of this cannon was indeed about 4,500 catties.

Judging from the situation just now, Xuan Zheng, as an innate master, is certainly extremely strong in physical strength, and this Yuan Fang seems to be at least a fourth-order Dacheng level master.

"It is said that the heaviest red-coated artillery in the former Ming Dynasty was 20,000 catties, I don't know which one is more powerful than this artillery?"

"Naturally, the cannon is powerful now. Li Xian replied without thinking about it: "Although the artillery of that era was very heavy, the shells used may not be very large, and it is estimated that they are not as heavy as the shells of this cannon now."

Besides, the artillery made at that time was made of white iron, and the heat dissipation capacity was not good, and it was the limit to be able to fire ten shells in half an hour.

The rate of fire of the British heavy artillery was three rounds in two minutes, and about 90 rounds in half an hour, which was close to ten times the rate of fire of the previous redcoat cannons. ”

"Oh, Li Guan is the most powerful in terms of Western firearms, since he said so, it must make sense. Xuan Zheng said with a smile: "By the way, everyone who comes to Sanyuan Temple is our guest."

Don't be restrained, have a good rest, if you have any needs, just say, we try our best to meet the three elements. ”

"The senior was polite. The warriors who came with Li Xian hurriedly bowed and said.

Most of the people went down to rest, but Li Xian had to stay, talk to Xuan Zheng, and tell about the battle some time ago.

When he first met Xuan Zheng more than a year ago, Li Xian was only a junior disciple who had not yet entered the martial arts gate, but now he was the sect master of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and he had extremely strong force under his command, and his status was not much different from Xuan Zheng.

"Western samurai are also starting to fight, and that's something to be aware of. After hearing that Rogers and other Western warriors appeared and had a fight with Li Xian and others, Xuan Zheng nodded and commented, but he didn't go into details, just continued to listen to Li Xian's account of the battle scene that day.

"You sank the British warship, do you mean that you won't have to worry about the British retaliation in the future?" Hearing that the only two warships the British had in Guangdong, one was burned and the other was detonated, Xuan Zheng asked Li Xian.

"How is it possible, the battle with the British has just begun, and it can never be over.

England is a great country in the world, and even a battleship much larger than those two warships can make hundreds, so how can it be over because two warships are lost.

When I return to Donghai Island this time, I will inevitably go all out to expand my army, and I must understand the cause and effect of this trip from the British. Li Xian sighed and said.

"I see. By the way, I heard that many of you in the Mixed Yuan Sect fell in Macao this time, and I don't know if they are alive or dead, what is the situation?" Xuan Zheng nodded and asked again.

"It's very bad, several disciples of this sect Qian Dafu have all been detained by the Macao authorities, and if one of them is not good, I am afraid that they will worry about their lives. Li Xian said in a deep voice.

A few days ago, he found out that he had fallen into the trap of the British and was ambushed, and Li Xian knew that Qian Dafu and the others were afraid that they would be in danger, but they couldn't be notified.

After arriving at the Sanyuan Temple, Li Xian finally got more accurate information and understood that something had indeed happened to Qian Dafu and others.

It turned out that Qian Dafu had been entrusted by Li Xian a long time ago to sneak into Macao to find out the news and deliver the news of the voyage of foreign merchant ships, so that Li Xian could find a lone robbery.

After so many incidents of missing ships, Macao and Britain also vaguely understood that someone was passing on the news and suspecting Qian Dafu and others, and deliberately passed on false information through them, so that Li Xian and them could fall into the net.

When the war began, the Macao side immediately took action to wipe out the intelligence network established by Qian Dafu in Macao, and dozens of people were arrested for it.

Fortunately, the influence of the Macao authorities was only limited to the city of Macau, and Qian Dafu's peripheral contact points outside the city were not affected much, but he suddenly did not know what to do when the incident occurred, and while informing Leizhou of the situation, he tried his best to find the whereabouts of Li Xian and others.

The Mixed Yuan Sect had a lot of money and had contact points in Macao, Mong-Ha County, Foshan, and Sanyuanguan outside Macao.

Li Xian originally agreed to go to the Sanyuan Temple first, and he also hoped to contact his own intelligence personnel.
