Among them, the owners of some Chinese ships, reluctant to ship and cargo, risked the danger to contact the Huaxia army on Dayuan Island, hoping that the other side would open the net.

Li Xian did not care about this, but only asked these people to pay a fine, and then wrote a guarantee that they would no longer carry out the opium trade, and allowed them to return with their ships and goods, which was in stark contrast to the pirates' behavior of holding on to what they had looted.

As for the foreign merchant ships, each with its own country's diplomats came forward to negotiate, Li Xian also did not embarrass the other party too much, but also insisted that the other party should no longer engage in the opium trade, and then asked people to pay a lot of fines, and after some education, they were let go.

The consuls and ministers of Britain, France, and the United States jumped to their feet and pointed out to Li Xian that the opium trade was a legal trade allowed by the Qing Emperor, and that the Huaxia Army's anti-smoking practice really lacked any legal support, and even threatened war, but Li Xian ignored it.

"It's war or it's a smoke-ban, the choice is yours. Li Xian said coldly to the diplomats of various countries.

"I hope that Your Excellency will not regret what you did today. The diplomats of several great powers put down their harsh words before leaving, and when they left, they said that they would definitely contact their own governments to seek justice.

Since the declaration of rebellion, the Huaxia Army has not forbidden trade with foreigners, but has carried out active trade with Britain, France, the United States and other countries through Hong Kong, and has also sent ships to the South Seas many times, which is completely different from the situation in which the Qing court did not attach importance to trade.

It can be said that in addition to the prohibition of opium trade, in other places, the Chinese military capital provided various conveniences for foreign trade and provided various policy supports, so that the total import and export trade has been rising since reaching its lowest point in 1842.

However, both the great powers and the top brass of the Huaxia Army understood in their hearts that there was a fundamental conflict between the interests of the two sides in China, and that sooner or later the Great Powers and the Huaxia Army would have to fight, and this would not change no matter how much the Huaxia Army supported trade.

Some later generations believed that as long as foreigners were given some trade convenience, the other side would not suppress China, but this was actually a big mistake.

In the case of the opium trade alone, the proportion of opium in the total import and export trade between the two sides has been declining, and in many cases it has a negative effect on the trade profits of the great powers.

"Li Xian is trying to block us in the door and humiliate us, it's just too much of a deception. Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, roared in his mansion.

The current governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is Yiliang, an old acquaintance of the Huaxia army, who was still the governor of Guangdong a few years ago, and later fled with the six princes when the Huaxia army attacked Guangzhou, and finally went around, not only was not punished, but also went further, and was promoted from the post of governor to the position of governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, which could not help but make people sigh.

It's just that after becoming the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Yiliang found that the trouble had just begun.

He ran from Guangdong to Fujian, but Li Xian and other rebels also followed, first Putian was fallen, and then Fuzhou was captured, if he hadn't evacuated in advance, he was afraid that he would have been taken prisoner, and then Li Xian took the initiative to withdraw the army, and he finally reoccupied Fuzhou as atonement, but he was led by a fleet to the door, and what ships were checked or something.

In Li Xian's history, Yiliang has good official luck and has been rising, but all he encounters are bad errands.

Earlier, he was a governor in Guangdong, but when the Opium War broke out, he fought a few battles with Lin Zexu of the main war faction, and then Qi Shan and others of the main war faction were in charge, and they were also ravaged by the British army.

After the end of the war, Lin Zexu, who was the main battler, lost his official position and resigned, and finally reluctantly sent to Xinjiang to quell the rebellion; Qi Shan, who was the main war, was put in a wooden cage and taken back to the capital, where he was carefully examined, and finally thrown into Tibet, where the end was very bad.

However, Yiliang didn't have anything to do, and was promoted to be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, becoming a real feudal official.

Then, within a few years, he went one step further and was promoted from the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang to the governor of Liangjiang.

The governors of the Qing Dynasty also had ranks, among which the governor of Liangjiang was the highest rank among all the governors, and he was also the most promising, and his jurisdiction was equivalent to the three provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi, and the richest place in the whole country.

As a result, within a few years of Yiliang's happiness, the Taiping Rebellion broke out, and the Taiping Army led by Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing captured Nanjing in one fell swoop, and passed through Anhui, and fought several beautiful battles in Jiangsu and Jiangxi, and they were all under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Liangjiang.

Then Yiliang was pushed to the forefront of the resistance to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, resisted with 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses in Changzhou, and then suffered a lot of defeats when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom broke the Jiangbei camp and the Jiangnan camp in 1856.

However, in the end, Yiliang still retreated, and finally retired on sick leave, and the Qing court also tolerated it and did not pursue his responsibility too much.

It's just that in the heart of Emperor Xianfeng at that time, it is estimated that Yiliang has long been labeled as a "broom star".

At this time, Yiliang did not know that he could live such a legendary and undulating life, and he was still complaining to visiting officials and guests at all levels in the mansion.

"Li bandits are cunning and cruel, and they are the best property, and this time they harassed the coastal areas of Min Province, and the people will inevitably be miserable.

You have to find a way to share your worries for the king. ”

Yiliang spoke impassionedly, and the officials below all bowed their heads, not daring to let the governor notice him.

At this time, what is the best way, send a sailor to destroy the other party, but although the Fujian sailor is the most powerful sailor in the Qing Dynasty today (the Guangdong sailor who can be compared has long been destroyed), but compared with the menacing Huaxia army, it doesn't seem to be enough at all.

"Isn't it just a dozen ships, our Fuzhou Navy Division still has hundreds of warships, can it be that we are frightened by a dozen ships?"

Pang Ban felt that these civil and military officials in Fuzhou were too weak, and he couldn't help but speak out.

Pang Ban, as a well-known disciple of the Inhuman Hall and an innate master, also attended this meeting and received a very high standard of treatment.

The officials present knew that the land battle of Pompan might be okay, but when it was their turn to fight the sea, they didn't understand anything, looked at each other, and pushed each other for a while before a lower-ranking official came forward to explain.

"These rebels come to the vicinity of the Min River with more than a dozen ships every time, but it doesn't mean that these are the only ones.

According to the fact that the rebel ships patrolled the sea almost every day, they naturally fell into several teams, and at least three teams.

In this way, there should be more than a dozen rebel ships in front of them, at least thirty to fifty. ”

This official was afraid of offending this very big disciple of the Inhuman Palace, so he said cautiously.
