As for the Thirteen Foreign Companies, and the businessmen represented by the Thirteen Foreign Companies, they were very excited about this, and felt that Li Xian was tolerable or unbearable, this was moving the cheese of the Thirteen Foreign Companies, and they must be resolutely suppressed.

This seems strange, Li Xian's proposal to revoke the blockade is only good for Hai Trade, and the anger of the Thirteen Elements is absolutely unnecessary.

However, the Thirteen Foreign Banks have controlled the foreign trade of the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years, obtained huge profits from it, and never wanted outsiders to get involved in foreign trade.

Li Xian's proposal seems to be beneficial to the Thirteen Elements, but it is undeniable that the Thirteen Elements have crossed the line, if the Thirteen Elements do not resist, Li Xian will take advantage of the situation to put aside the Thirteen Elements, and the British eyebrows, breaking the rules for hundreds of years, and the Thirteen Elements will naturally not tolerate this.

The reaction of the thirteen lines was also very fast, and immediately suppressed the soap business of the mixed yuan sect, and the sales volume of the evil soap immediately decreased from 20,000 yuan per month to nearly eighty percent, if it were not for the fact that the raw material of this soap was whale oil, there was really no possibility of substitution, and it was estimated that the remaining two percent might not be able to keep it.

In addition, high-ranking officials such as the Governor of Liangguang and the Governor of Guangdong were provided with translations of articles in two newspapers, as well as relevant information.

"This bastard!" Lin Zexu, the governor of Liangguang, scolded angrily after reading the article and intelligence.

"This Li Xian should be killed!" Governor Yiliang nodded in agreement.

It turned out that the information provided by the Thirteen Lines was that Li Xian, an unscrupulous merchant in Leizhou, met with the British consul Yilu, and the two of them talked secretly for an hour behind closed doors, and afterwards Li Xian bought a dozen artillery pieces and a large number of foreign guns that the British half sold and half gave away at a very cheap price, and finally added a high-quality foreign warship.

As for the publication of proposals in two British-controlled newspapers to lift the blockade of the Pearl River Estuary, it is naturally a trick to cover the eye.

Whether it is Lin Zexu or Yiliang, it is very clear that a martial artist who has no officialdom protests to a foreign consul, this is interference in the government affairs, and he should be killed if he does not dare to make good or bad intentions;

If someone buys warships, artillery, muskets, etc. from foreigners, it is a disobedience, and they should be killed;

If these two things are not independent, but someone commits these two taboos at the same time, it is even more deserving of killing!

"Youchang, have you been in contact with Li Xian, what do you think of this person?" After thinking about it for a while, Lin Zexu asked his nephew and son-in-law, Shen Baozhen, who was sentenced in Guangzhou.

"At the beginning, Zhuge Liang said that Wei Yan had a backbone on the back of his head, but when I looked at Li Xian, his whole body was full of backbones. Shen Baozhen replied.

It turned out that Shen Baozhen was captured by Li Xian and placed under house arrest in the Mixed Yuan Temple for several months, until the recent negotiations between the Guangzhou government and the Mixed Yuan Temple made some progress before he was released and returned to Guangzhou.

Of course, the condition for the release of Shen Baozhen by Mixed Yuan Guan was that the Guangzhou government must no longer send people to attack Mixed Yuan Sect for no reason, nor should it suppress Mixed Yuan Guan's business in Guangzhou, such as the soap business in cooperation with the Fuwei Dart Bureau.

The Guangzhou Governor's Mansion was tossed enough by the British during this time, and he really didn't want to cause more trouble at this time, so he agreed to the conditions of the Mixed Yuan Sect, as for privately putting the Mixed Yuan Sect and Li Xian on the blacklist, just waiting for the dispute with the British to be eliminated with the power of thunder.

Shen Baozhen originally had an excellent family background, and he was talented and talented, and he was known as a capable official, but after this toss, his reputation was greatly damaged, and he was regarded as Zhao Kuo's generation on paper.

It's just that after experiencing the twists and turns of the mixed yuan concept, Shen Baozhen has become more and more calm, and the original arrogance and flashiness can't be found, which makes Lin Zexu take a look, thinking that his son-in-law is a blessing in disguise, and his heart can be sublimated, and he will definitely be able to go further in the officialdom in the future.

At this time, it was originally the Governor's Mansion and some high-level officials of the Governor's Yamen to discuss the matter of dealing with the British, but they did not expect that Mixed Yuanguan and Li Xian appeared again in intelligence and had to be discussed.

"Li Xian's ambition is not small, this is to be Shi Jingjiao. "A high-ranking Manchu official deliberately flaunted his knowledge.

"Just a Li Xian, how can he be qualified to be Shi Jingjiao, at most he is the king of Pingxi. Governor Yiliang said with a sneer.

The banner people can talk casually, but the Han officials dare not accept such words, whether it is Shi Jingjiao or the king of Pingxi, it is not a topic that Han officials can get involved in, even Lin Zexu can't.

"This Li Xian is really about to become a scourge, we had better calm down and not let him jump out at this juncture.

For the sake of the overall situation, it is better to send someone to investigate and see what he Li Xian thinks, and then decide how to deal with it. Lin Zexu sighed and said.

The surrounding officials all responded to the promise, but they knew in their hearts that the governor must not want to cause more trouble when he spoke like this, and this mixed Yuan Sect was probably still based on Huai Rou and appeasement.

The officialdom of the Qing State is also peculiar, if Li Xian is not so aggressive, but if he shows a little compromise with the imperial court, the government will inevitably knock out the marrow and suck the bones, and destroy the mixed Yuan Sect and Li Xian cleanly.

However, Li Xian showed that he didn't care about the government, and even showed an attitude of tearing the flag and rebelling at any time, but the government did not dare to force it too much, and would rather use all kinds of gentle means, and even give him some sweetness to delay time, and it was called bondage.

The people of the Thirteen Lines especially sorted out Li Xian's materials, hoping that the government would make great efforts to clean up Li Xian, but unfortunately they made a mistake in their busy schedules and did not calculate the gains and losses, but instead caused the government not to dare to deal with Li Xian, which was very unexpected.

In fact, these officials also figured out that Li Xian himself was not weak, and he could mobilize thousands of people at any time, and it seemed from this intelligence that he had the support of the British, and it was by no means easy to deal with.

Not to mention anything else, Li Xian moved from Yaluo Bay to Donghai Island shortly after releasing Shen Baozhen, and the government had to mobilize sailors to deal with him.

However, in terms of the strength of the British Navy to blockade the mouth of the Pearl River by casually mobilizing a few ships, even if the naval forces of the entire Guangdong were gathered, they could not conquer the East China Sea Island, so they could only do whatever they wanted, so Huairou was the only choice.

Not long after the officials in Guangzhou discussed the policy of dealing with Li Xian of the Mixed Yuan Sect, the escort team of the Mixed Yuan Sect who had moved to Donghai Island received a special guest.

"Master Bai, I'm really sorry to disturb you again. Li Xian said politely to the guest.

"There is no hard work in the responsibility. The person who came was a scribe about thirty years old, with an excellent demeanor, and said to Li Xian with a folding fan.

It turned out that the person whose surname was Bai and his name was Yongqi, who was originally from the capital and had some savings.

Later, I don't know how to get into the eyes of Lord Lin, the governor of Liangguang, and was hired as a staff member, handling many difficult affairs, and also having some prestige among the staff of the Governor's Palace.

Previously, Shen Baozhen was captured by the Mixed Yuan Sect, and the Governor's Mansion sent this person to negotiate with the Mixed Yuan Sect about the release, etc., and he was also an old friend with Li Xian and Zhao Hujiang and others.

"Li Guanzhu has been moving a lot during this time, destroying pirates, moving from Yaluo Bay to Donghai Island, and even establishing contact with the British.

The Governor was particularly concerned about this, and sent me to see if there was anything I needed help with, and by the way, I would like to bring a letter from the Governor. Master Bai said to Li Xian.

"And so, I have to thank Lord Lin for his concern. Li Xian's face remained unchanged and said calmly.
