After discovering that Macau had been captured by the Chinese army, the British had extremely mixed feelings.

If he could, Consul Yilu would have wanted to send troops to help the Macanese retake the city, but in practice this was impossible.

First of all, Consul Yilu had no troops to send and no one willing to carry out such a dangerous and rewarding task.

Both British warships in China were sunk by Li Xian's troops, only to escape some lucky sailors.

As for the remaining dozens of ocean-going merchant ships, everyone is now in danger, for fear that the Chinese will send experts over again, secretly climb up at night and blow up their own merchant ships.

Now, in Victoria Bay, hundreds of lifeboats are lowered every night to patrol the areas where merchant ships are anchored.

Under such circumstances, naturally no merchant ships were willing to participate in the glorious battle to save Macao, and the thought of going ashore to fight those Chinese martial arts masters, and the uncontrollable number of casualties, no sane captain would agree to participate in the war, even for the glory of the British Empire.

The captains think very clearly, they are taxpayers, not soldiers who eat the emperor's food, and it is no problem to do something without any security threat to themselves, but if they want to risk their own lives, then there is no need to talk about it, we pay up to 90% of the tea tax to the Queen of England, not to fight with others.

The second reason for stopping the consul was that the people of Macao were simply unwilling to cooperate with the British and take back their city.

The Governor of Yilu had sent people to Macao secretly to hold secret talks with the Governor of Macao, but Mr. Governor-General's intention was very clear, he did not want the British to come over and cross the cylinder, and even said that if the Chinese asked the Macao army to defend the city, the Macao authorities would have to agree to such a demand.

The reason of the governor of Macao is also very good, the Chinese have dispatched several lord-level warriors and dozens of great knight-level warriors this time, cooperating with the British, God knows how many people will die in Macao.

Even if the Chinese are expelled this time, after all, Macau is in Chinese mainland, and the next time the Chinese send troops over, Britain may not be able to help every time.

Even without the Chinese moving an army, just send a fourth-order martial artist to carry out assassination, and few of the parliamentarians below the governor level are sure to escape the killing; even if it is a third-order grandmaster-level master, disguise himself to come in and kill a few councilors, and then retreat with his whole body, it is not a difficult thing.

Li Xian, the Chinese commander who occupied Macau this time, was quite disciplined and did not cause too many killings, but if he was provoked, it would be difficult to say.

"Macau must abide by strict neutrality, which is the way for Macau to survive. His Excellency the Governor concluded.

"Macau was originally neutral, so what, still displeased the Chinese, and then sent troops to occupy it?" the envoy of Consul Yilu tried to make a final attempt, but with little success.

In fact, both people understand that what both sides call neutrality is actually two different things.

In short, in this case, the British consul side did not dare to cause more trouble, at least until the arrival of a large fleet from the local side, it was better to try to avoid a head-on conflict with the Chinese side.

On the other hand, the officials in Guangzhou are also in a mess.

With the sluggishness of the Qing court, they originally wanted to guard against Li Xian and Sanyuanguan, but as a result, Li Xian and the masters of Sanyuanguan left at night, and even occupied Macao.

The Governor's Mansion finally made up its mind to send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to kill the Sanyuanguan, and found that the Sanyuanguan was almost empty, leaving only a Taoist to sweep the floor leisurely.

When the Governor's Mansion sent someone to bring the Taoist sweeper, the Taoist sent a letter to the Governor from Xuanzheng, the master of the Sanyuan Temple, and took the Governor to an idle warehouse in the Sanyuan Temple.

When the governor sent officers and soldiers to open the door of the warehouse, he found that more than a hundred British soldiers were being held inside, all of whom were soldiers captured by Li Xian before.

The Governor pondered for a while, then became furious and threw himself back to Canton.

Yiliang The Guangdong officials feel that the situation is very tricky now, and they have to go to the people of Sanyuanguan to vent their anger, they can't enter the blessed land, and even if they go inside, it is not suitable for large-scale use of troops, and it is useless at all.

Burn down the Sanyuan Temple, it doesn't make any sense, it's just a few courtyards, it's not difficult to rebuild, and it also offends the innate and many fourth-order masters to death, and the officials in Guangzhou can't sleep peacefully in the future.

Send troops to Macao to sweep away the remnants of the world that are still here, the walls of Macao are tall and strong, and there are many forts, and I don't know how much it will cost to attack it.

Even if it is attacked, it is meaningless, people can't beat it, it's just a big deal to go to sea by boat, and then there will be no sailors available on the imperial court, so they can only watch people escape from the sea.

"Damn, this is all caused by the British, if the Pearl River waterway is not blocked, we will attack Macao from both land and water, then we will be much more sure. Governor Yiliang scolded angrily, but his subordinates and staff knew that it was just angry talk.

Even if the sailor can go to sea, does it make sense, it is not difficult for people to run back to Donghai Island in advance.

Most of the officials did not know about the existence of the blessed land, but in order to deal with the forces of Li Xian and Sanyuanguan in Leizhou, they had to fight all the way from Macao to Donghai Island.

In short, now it seems that the scale and scope of influence of this Li Xian Rebellion may far exceed that of Fang Shiyu's Rebellion decades ago, and there are no contradictions between martial arts people available, so let's think about it in the long run.

In the end, more than 8,000 soldiers and horses of the Guangdong Green Battalion were sent to Wangxia County, but that was all, and the Guangzhou side could neither make up their minds to let them continue to advance, nor was they willing to take back the troops, so they were put there to consume.

However, what these resourceful officials did not expect was the impact of this behavior on the British and Macaons, and when they found that more than 8,000 Chinese troops had arrived in Mongxia County, which was very close to Macao, the British and Macaons immediately became vigilant, thinking that they were echoing Li Xian's front and back, and they did not dare to come with Li Xian hard, but let Li Xian take the opportunity to pretend to be a tiger.

In the case that all parties were at a loss, Li Xian's preparations for war were gradually completed, and he waited for the right time to deal a blow to the white-armored soldiers in the corpse soldier secret realm.

Nearly half a month has passed since the date of the occupation of Macau, during this time, Li Xian and Xuan Zheng infiltrated the secret realm of the soldiers every day, observing the rules of those corpse soldiers, and finally found that every three days or so, there was a gap of half a day, and the large-scale corpse soldiers took some new corpse soldiers to the blessed land after replenishing consumption in the secret realm, and the corpse soldiers outside had not had time to come near the secret realm.

After all, the corpse soldiers are all low-level necromantic creatures, and the management level is far lower than that of the human army, and it is normal to have such flaws, of course, these corpse soldiers and the thirteen Inhuman Temple masters who manage the corpse soldiers did not think that someone would kill them from the secret realm, and the precautions against this were not strict enough.

On the other hand, Li Xian arranged his troops during this time, taking advantage of the unique advantages of the Blue Bat Sect's secret realm to conduct some live-ammunition exercises, which made him more and more confident in capturing the corpse soldier secret realm.

Of course, what Li Xian said to most of the guards was that the secret realm of corpse soldiers was actually a special space opened up by vampires, just waiting for the day when enough corpse soldiers would accumulate to do evil in the human world.

The simple guards believed this statement and were filled with righteous indignation, and the few who saw the clue remained silent and did not disturb people's hearts.

Li Xian was secretly happy in his heart, when the escort team took this step, they would be one step closer to the road of rebellion, and it would be easier to take them to the court against the court in the future.

Finally, fifteen days after occupying Macao, Li Xian and Xuan Zheng felt that the time was ripe and decided to launch an attack and kill the corpse soldiers in the secret realm.

In this battle, in addition to the nearly 300 escorts and 200 warriors from all walks of life in Guangdong, Li Xian's side also had 300 escorts from Donghai Island and 200 boat gang members originally led by Qiao Daqing, a total of 1,000 troops.

In addition, artillery to muskets, shells, grenades, bullets, gunpowder, etc. is extremely abundant, far beyond the actual needs, but Li Xian's side does not have enough manpower to operate so many firearms at the same time, which can be regarded as the first thing that Li Xian has encountered since the establishment of the army.
