Zhu Jinglun understood that the arms in his hand were probably a big chip for Bai Gui to win over Hua Tingjie. Hua Tingjie is now in charge of battery defense. What can strengthen his strength is that he wants to get rid of these arms, which is one reason why he openly opposes Huang Zonghan at the critical moment of the struggle between Huang Zonghan and Bai Gui.
Zhu Jinglun thought for a moment, "Even if I have more than 2,000 people, what’s the harm of giving Lord Hua 2,000 guns?"
Fuli nodded. It seems that what Zhu Jinglun took out can satisfy Hua Tingjie’s appetite.
Fu Li added, "The governor’s adult said that the gun can be given to Hua Ting Jieren, so we have to hold on tight."
Zhu Jinglun said, "The governor’s adult can rest assured that this is natural."
After Fuli left, Zhu Jinglun immediately asked the black dog to go to the inn to call people Wuxianmen Inn. Now the whole inn is covered by Zhu Jinglun. Anyway, there are no people living in the front and back yards, and more than 2,000 people are just crowded. These people are willing to have a big smoke and don’t pay attention to the floor, but no one cries injustice.
Soon Hou Jin followed the black dog.
"Zhu-Hehe"
Hou Jin suddenly didn’t know what to call Zhu Jinglun. He used to call Zhu Er by his first name, but now he thinks it’s a little inappropriate.
Black dog knows how to read and listen. "My Lord is now in charge of musket camp."
Hou Jinyi even forgot to be embarrassed. "Brother, are you an official?"
Zhu Jinglun laughed. "It’s not just an official temporary assignment. You take people to move 2,000 guns to the battery and hand them over to Hua County magistrate. Don’t collide with Nanhai County people. I’ll go to the barracks and catch up in a minute."
Hou Jin went to work as soon as he sighed.
Zhu Jinglun hurried from the yamen to the Xiezhen camp not far away. Both Bai Gui and foreigners are here. Foreigners are prisoners of war and Bai Gui is a foreigner hostage.
But no one knows yet. Anyway, if foreigners don’t say outsiders, they can’t be sure that Zhu Jinglun told Bai Gui to live here. Otherwise, they can’t be said to be hostages. Otherwise, they lost their dignity in the Qing Dynasty. There are also a few officers among those foreigners who know that they are all prisoners now, so naturally they won’t talk nonsense.
Bai Gui declared that he was trying to appease the British and foreigners, fearing that these prisoners would make trouble because of misunderstanding. In fact, he explained to Huang Zonghan that he was afraid of guarding these prisoners and taking revenge on foreigners without authorization, which would cause more trouble. Therefore, Bai Gui did not want any accidents before the emperor decided to be flawed.
The information of foreigners and officials such as Huang Zonghan is not equal. Bai Gui succeeded in hiding his hostage status, so that these foreigners can put weapons and wait for the war to be over. Then even if it is said, who will believe it? At that time, Bai Gui dodged a bullet and was still the governor of Guangdong, and no one stroke of bad luck talked nonsense.
And now foreigners have captured prisoners. In fact, even if Baigui wants to go out, do they dare to stop it? Suddenly, foreigners called again. Before seeing the momentum clearly, Bai Gui felt that it was actually a good place to detain foreigners’ barracks, so that he could avoid the limelight and not worry that the city would fall on his own head. This time, it was Huang Zonghan who was responsible.
Zhu Jinglun didn’t come to the military camp to see Baigui. Of course, he had to meet Baigui at the first time. This is human feelings.
Bai Gui’s treatment is not bad. Although the conditions for living alone are still relatively simple, they are much better than others. At this time, even the British prisoners can squeeze together.
It happened that I met Hurd in Baigui’s room.
Hurd looked at Zhu Jinglun with strange eyes, contempt, panic and a trace of indescribable sadness. Hurd couldn’t accept that Zhu Jinglun was really a spy and had been lurking around him for so long. Zhu Jinglun’s body burn was not that he imagined being injured by the gunpowder of the Qing army, but that the explosive gunpowder root was ignited by Zhu Jinglun.
Seeing Zhu Jinglun come in, Hurd got up and said goodbye to Baigui without even saying hello.
"This barbarian wants to leave the city."
Before Zhu Jinglun’s mouth was baigui, he spoke first.
Hurd came to see Baigui in the hope that Baigui would allow him to leave the city. Zhu Jinglun could guess what the purpose was.
Sure enough, Bai Gui said, "This barbarian said that he was willing to go out of the city to negotiate with the foreigners outside the city. He said that it is credible to say that foreigners don’t fight Guangzhou."
Hurd is certainly credible. Hurd certainly doesn’t want the British to continue attacking Guangzhou. There are thousands of British prisoners in the first city, although most of them are soldiers, there are nearly 100 British officers. Second, Hurd is a diplomat. Generally speaking, diplomats don’t want war because once they go to war, it means diplomatic failure.
Zhu Jinglun understands Hurd’s mentality very well. Put yourself in his shoes and think about it. If he were Hurd, he wouldn’t want to call again in this place of Guangzhou, because it doesn’t make sense. What if foreigners hit Guangzhou? After the second attack on Guangzhou, France controlled the trade around Guangzhou, and France resumed its business before going to Beijing. Now that the treaty has been signed, what will foreigners do if China does not stop fighting in accordance with the provisions of the treaty? It’s that general’s will to fight directly.
"If he says he doesn’t want to fight, it’s credible."
Zhu Jinglun answered honestly.
Baigui sighed, "It’s a pity that the old man can’t be the master."
Bai Gui doesn’t count, but Hurd doesn’t know that he knows that Bai Gui is the second person in Guangdong, and Bai Gui can count.
"By the way, what are you doing here? Don’t say you’re here to see the old man."
Bai Gui seems to be in a good mood. He talks casually with Zhu Jinglun and doesn’t look like a local official at all.
Or intentionally show closeness in front of Zhu Jinglun.
Zhu Jinglun laughed. "I really can’t hide it from adults. I’m here to find some coaches."
Baigui wondered, "Looking for a coach? Do you want foreigners to help you train? "
This idea is still very surprising. Before Li Hongzhang, no official in the Qing court dared to think so, and now Li Hongzhang’s Huai army and foreign gun team have not yet been formed, but there is no precedent.
Zhu Jinglun said, "That’s the intention."
Baigui took a deep breath and took the cup to drink tea slowly. In fact, he was thinking about whether this matter would lead to anything that should not have changed.
Zhu Jinglun also knows that this is strange, but he does not feel any other flavor.
Bai Gui probably wanted to understand and asked, "Do you think foreigners will help?"
Even more outrageous than Li Hongzhang is that Li Hongzhang at least hired foreigners to fight Taiping rebels Zhu Jinglun. This is that he directly asked foreigners to help him train and turned to fight foreigners again.
But Bai Gui asked seriously. If someone else said that, he would laugh at each other’s whimsy. But this is Zhu Jinglun’s saying that Bai Gui should seriously consider it, because Bai Gui thinks he knows foreigners very well, but Zhu Jinglun knows foreigners better than he does.
Zhu Jinglun laughed. "Of course Yingyi won’t, but those soldiers say that they are mercenaries and they will work for whoever pays!"
Section 74 Do you want to change caste?
When he came out of Baigui’s room, Zhu Jinglun had said that Baigui needed to tell him about the situation, and Baigui thought it was a good idea. Although Baigui’s integrity was not very good, he could not be such a big official as Guangdong Governor, and his IQ was definitely not low.
Even Bai Gui offered that he would help Hua Ting Jie to tell Zhu Jinglun to do it with confidence and boldness, and even Bai Gui boldly imagined whether he could recruit those Youbing.
It’s really too bold. These especially people’s families are also here. It’s impossible to recruit a few instructors regardless of their family’s safety. It’s impossible to expect their department to take refuge in the Qing court. Even if the money is promised, they will never really fight. When they fight for the British, they will not be able to exert their fighting power in the end. What’s more, the Qing court is fighting against the British army. If they come from you, it is possible for the rebels, but it is impossible for mercenaries here.
I haven’t gone out to find you yet. I’m the first to see Hurd first
Just now, Hurd told Zhu Jinglun without false words. If it were a person, it would be impossible to be calm and even if Hurd didn’t scold him in front of Zhu Jinglun, it would be very cultured.
Zhu Jinglun couldn’t bear to count Hurd’s leg when he saw him limping outside the door, but he blew it off himself.
