The officials of Guangzhou had seen enough of the western scenery on this day, and tens of thousands of peasants from the north gathered on the side of the Sifang Fort, and cheered from time to time.

At last there was no sign of going back, but he began to dig trenches in the ground, and did so with great euphoria.

"That's not right, these people have obviously been deceived, but they don't mean to be frustrated, and they don't want to defend in Sanyuanli in the morning, haven't they found out that the silver has been dropped?"

"There are so many people gathered together in this gang of Diao people, and they don't even take the government seriously. We also have to be careful not to let them jump over the wall in a hurry to attack Guangzhou. Yiliang couldn't guess what medicine was buried in the gourd of the people of the Sanyuan Concept, so he said strongly.

"What the governor said is right, if these people attack the city of Guangzhou in desperation, it will be a big trouble. Many people reacted at this time, broke out in a cold sweat, and lost the mood to watch the show.

"It's time to step up our defenses, and as long as we get through this section, we can sit back and watch them eat dog and dog with the British. Song Mingda and Song Dagongzi also nodded and said.

The British sent ships to reconnoitre, and found that tens of thousands of people had gathered on the side of the Sifang Fort, and the city wall of Guangzhou was also crowded with Qing soldiers everywhere.

However, this move is also understandable, the British army lost more than 1,000 soldiers in two days before and after, and the city of Guangzhou, which was originally low-brow and pleasing to the eyes, was heavily guarded, and tens of thousands of people gathered in the Sifang Fort, and they would never send troops ashore without knowing the details.

The commanders of the British army now only thought that the officials of Guangzhou had repented after reaching the peace agreement, and gathered the troops that had been hidden to attack their own garrisons, and they never dreamed that the troops on the side of the Sifang Fort and the Qing troops in Guangzhou were actually two different things, and they were not at odds with each other.

On this day, Li Xian's side also sent people to Donghai Island and Macao to issue different orders.

The order to General Zhao Hu and Xie Yingnan, who were stationed on Donghai Island, was to ask them to evacuate the personnel and materials from Donghai Island as soon as possible, leaving only two or three hundred guards on the island, and all the other guards, workers, and administrative personnel were sent to Sanyuanli.

Macau, on the other hand, has taken a completely different approach.

In fact, the British also attached great importance to Macao, and understood that Macao's role was very delicate, so they secretly sent people to infiltrate Macao, and had a secret meeting with the governor of Macao, discussing the Chinese army in Macao and retaking Macao.

"Mr. Governor-General, it is absolutely impossible for the Chinese to enter the Portuguese colony and interfere with the administrative freedom of Macao in violation of international conventions and conventions.

We, the British, are willing to help you expel the Chinese, and afterwards return Macao to the rule of your parliament?" said the envoy sent by the British commander to the governor of Macao.

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate. The Governor of Macau was a little hesitant, "In that case, if the war resumes, the whole of Macao will be plunged into war, and there will be many casualties." ”

It turned out that the Governor of Macao thought carefully during this time and finally understood that it was very unwise to go against the Chinese at this time.

Once they cooperate with the British and fight against the Chinese, the Chinese will not easily withdraw, and the casualties on the Macao side are certain, and it is very likely that the entire city of Macao will be burned down by the war.

Moreover, even if you can expel the Chinese?

Even if the Chinese lose to the British, it will be a behemoth, they can't deal with the British, send some troops to punish Macau, and those superhero-level experts who came last time came to kill, it was enough for the entire Macau Council.

The Governor of Macao and the members of the parliament often met during this time, analyzed the current situation, and felt that now it was two behemoths of China and Britain fighting, and Macao was like a flea between two wild beasts, no matter which side was offended, it would encounter a catastrophe, and the best way was to strictly abide by neutrality and seek survival.

Moreover, during this time, Li Xian only confiscated the property of people close to the vampire clan, protected the property of other Macau people, and had no intention of interfering in other administrative affairs, which made the rulers of Macau also breathe a sigh of relief.

In contrast, the British don't look at what they say beautifully now, and when they expel the Chinese and become the emperor of Macao, they don't know what kind of demands they will make, and the whole of Macao is really lacking in interest.

"The Chinese now have more than 300 troops stationed in Macao, and we should be able to take it down easily with our cooperation, so why should Mr. Governor have a lot of concerns?" The British envoy was a little surprised, thinking that as soon as he said that he would help the Macao people retake the city, the other party must be grateful and inexplicable, but he did not expect this reaction.

"Mr. Special Envoy still doesn't understand that we originally had more than 700 Portuguese guards in Macao, and more than 700 Chinese to assist in the defense.

Since the Chinese army entered Macau, it has desperately tried to win over these Chinese, causing Macau to lose control over these people, so you can't just look at the number of Chinese troops. Mr. Governor said prevaricatingly.

The original Chinese guards were co-opted, which was naturally one of the factors, but the more important reason was the combat effectiveness shown by the Chinese army and the disdain for Macau.

Li Xian originally took 600 people to sit in Macao in person, and later took 300 people to Sanyuanli for training, but did not increase the number of guards here.

The Governor of Macao understood that this seemed to be an opportunity for Macau, but in fact it was a very insidious temptation, once Macao felt that the Chinese army was small and rose up to riot, it might succeed, and then it would encounter a situation where the Chinese army was pressing, and it was not necessary that all the property of Macao people would be plundered.

Therefore, no matter how small the Chinese army is in Macao, Macao will not act rashly.

"But—" Just as the envoy tried to persuade the Governor, the Governor's attendant came in and interrupted the conversation.

"Your Excellency, something big happened, and the Chinese sent a large army to come and enter our city of Macau. ”

The governor and the envoy were shocked, and hurriedly inquired about the situation, only to learn that during the conversation between the two, thousands of Chinese troops had entered Macao, saying that they wanted to assist in the defense.

"Oh, what the hell is this. The Governor of Macao said, but his heart blossomed, and the difficulty of attacking Macao had increased dramatically, and the British would no longer persuade themselves to organize a riot, and the possibility of sending troops to attack them had also decreased a lot.

"Oh, what the hell is this. The envoy cursed, but the meaning was naturally different from that of the Governor.

"Oh, what the hell is this. It turned out that Chen Guangsheng, who was guarding Macao, couldn't help but be stunned when he got a special appointment letter.

After Chen Guangsheng was transferred from the officer corps to the grassroots level of the company, he went from deputy platoon commander, platoon commander, and deputy company commander to deputy battalion commander.

Originally, Chen Guangsheng became the deputy battalion commander, and after Li Xian led 300 people out, he automatically became the supreme military commander of Macao, but he didn't expect to be promoted again without paying attention.

It turned out that the letter of appointment issued by Li Xian was written to appoint Chen Guangsheng as the head of the Independent League and Qian Dafu as the political commissar of the Independent League, requiring them to guard Macao.
