Therefore, it is very worth wooing.
"The official gave you 52,000 yuan, and you gave it to the official as a reward!"
Since the money was worth Bai Gui’s money, he was very decisive and agreed, and he gave more than Zhu Jinglun.
Zhu Jinglun said quickly, "Thank you for your reward!"
Baigui waved his hand. "Don’t be too busy thanking you for agreeing to one condition."
Zhu Jinglun said, "Your Excellency, please speak."
Bai Gui said, "I’m afraid you don’t know much about the situation now. Today, an imperial envoy has deployed brave soldiers to approach Guangzhou City. Do you know what an imperial envoy means?"
Zhu Jinglun wondered, "If you don’t besiege the south, now the British and French navies are completely destroyed. Only two forts are difficult to deal with Huang’s brave soldiers. If you storm the forts, it’s not difficult to take it. If you can encircle Guangzhou on all sides, but more than a thousand people storm, it’s not difficult to land. Isn’t Huang’s adult afraid that the foreigners will escape?"
Bai Gui sighed, "The art of war has a cloud, and the siege will be short of Huang Daren’s plan. It also coincides with the art of war. Will the foreigners escape? Huang Daren doesn’t care if he can recover Guangzhou, which is a great contribution. I’m afraid you don’t know that the court has lost another battle in Tianjin and signed a treaty with the foreigners. If Huang Daren can recover Guangzhou at this time, it will be a great achievement whether or not the foreigners are eliminated."
Huang Zonghan, an imperial envoy, has absolute reason to deal with foreigners safely and ran away. It is serious to recover Guangzhou. It is certain that he lost Guangzhou and Huang Zonghan did not. If Guangzhou can be recovered in his hands, it is indeed a great achievement.
But Bai Gui is different. Although Guangdong bureaucrats all blame Ye Mingchen, if the emperor wants to pursue Bai Gui, he can’t run away. If Bai Gui can make contributions in recovering Guangzhou, how can he make contributions by apologizing? At that time, even if Huang Zonghan took the big head, Bai Gui could save his life.
However, he is now a savage who resigned. It is impossible for him to get credit from Huang Zonghan, the governor of Zhengyin and Guangdong, so he can work hard in other ways, such as annihilating those foreigners.
"But if you can besiege the city and not be afraid of foreigners, if you can force foreigners to surrender, it will be meritorious!"
Zhu Jinglun couldn’t help sighing that it was a pity that Huang Zonghan’s civil servant handled it safely in his heart, but he knew that this was the Manchu officialdom’s manner, which didn’t ask for success, but he begged to let foreigners leave, so there was no need to risk fighting. During this period, Huang Zonghan posted notices in the city to warn foreigners to evacuate Guangzhou and never said that foreigners should surrender.
Bai Gui sighed, "Who said it wasn’t? What the official asked you to do was to take this credit!"
If you take the credit, you will annihilate the British and French allied forces and force them to surrender. This is the condition that Baigui gave Zhu Jinglun. Only with this credit can Baigui pay the 52,000 silver.
However, Zhu Jinglun felt that it was not enough. He kept asking Hou Jin to help buy off the petty leaders of the coolies, who once paid 202,000 yuan for their lion mouths. Zhu Jinglun promised them 52,000 yuan to buy opium, which can make coolies make trouble with foreigners, but can make coolies obey themselves.
That’s right. Just now, Zhu Jinglun boldly asserted that whoever has a smoky coolie will work for him. Under the pretext of coolie, Bai Gui may make the other side dissatisfied, but Zhu Jinglun has a better excuse, that is, he once blew cattle with Bai Gui, and he can buy Indian soldiers in the British army.
Don’t pretend to be "honest, adults, if we can get two thousand coolies to work for us, it can really hurt the barbarians, but it’s too difficult to wipe them out. If we can buy Indian soldiers, we can be 100% sure."
Bai Gui has been in Guangzhou for a long time, and he didn’t spend much time naturally knowing that most of the British troops are Indian soldiers, most of them are navies, and their navies have been wiped out by Lin Fuxiang. Once the Indian soldiers can be bought, it means that the British troops will be unable to support the French army by then.
However, there is a problem that foreigners must be put in a desperate situation if they want to surrender. However, there will always be a way for foreigners to evacuate from the south of the city at any time, otherwise they will buy all the British troops and French troops to escape at any time.
Therefore, Bai Gui hesitated, "I’m afraid the barbarians in the south of the city won’t surrender. Can you buy off the ghost soldiers and take the fort?"
It’s not difficult to buy coolies, but Bai Gui doubts that those ghost soldiers will try their best to buy Indian soldiers, and it’s even more difficult for them to fight foreigners directly. At best, it’s a situation in which they don’t help each other. Bai Gui knows that India is already a British day, and he also regards the British flag as a flag. I’m afraid it’s impossible to treat Indians as Han people and let Indian soldiers fight the British army differently from green camp.
Bai Gui also feels difficult without his own soldiers.
Zhu Jinglun is very optimistic. "This is another thing that the villain wants to tell the adults. The villain recalled Qian Zong Zhang Qian Shan from Nanxiong in the name of the adults a few days ago, and told the adults to make amends in the future."
Time Bai Gui promised Zhu Jinglun in an emergency, but it was a verbal promise in his name. Bai Gui wouldn’t print it, but I didn’t expect Zhu Jinglun to mobilize the army in his name. Huang Zonghan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was confident that he would personally mobilize the army. I didn’t expect Zhu Jinglun to mobilize.
Bai Gui has a kind of unexpected surprise of pie from heaven. Where can Zhu Jinglun be blamed?
Can’t help but shout, "Mr. Zhu is really my blessing! I wonder how many soldiers General Zhang Qian brought back? Can it be big? "
Zhu Jinglun said, "I have brought four hundred horsemen, and everyone can fight. Everyone who dares to die is a hero who drips from the blood of the spear and Hong Bing!"
"good!"
Bai Gui praised one.
Then he said, "Go and tell manager Zhang Qian that if he can surround the dead and kill the barbarians with a battery, the official will guarantee him to be promoted to Nanxiong guerrilla war."
Say that finish after BaiGui feel a little wrong.
He also said to Zhu Jinglun, "You have done a great job in this matter. You can do it boldly and confidently, and the official will recommend you to be a magistrate of a county!"
Zhu Jinglun immediately knelt down and thanked him, saying, "Little people thank adults for cultivating liver and brain and smearing the ground, even if they dare to die!"
Bai Gui was satisfied with Zhu Jinglun’s performance and smiled slightly.
Then personally lifted Zhu Jinglun up, and the wise men were very kind. "You are a wise man, of course, better than following Lin Fuxiang."
Zhu Jinglun replied, "Adults say it is pulled by adults."
After that, Zhu Jinglun expressed doubts. "Is it to buy Indian soldiers?"
Bai Gui gave a hand, "The official will give you another 52,000 pieces of silver. You can do it boldly, but the official will wake you up. What kind of silver should you take? What kind of silver should you take? You should make it clear in your heart that the official is not reluctant to give up silver, but you have to give it to the official, or you will even spend it with your life."
Bai Gui’s attitude is clear, and he is not afraid of Zhu Jinglun’s personal gain from it, but Zhu Jinglun must do the right thing well.
Of course, it is impossible to put 100 thousand taels of silver directly in Zhu Jinglun’s hand. Bai Gui asked Zhu Jinglun to contact Fulilian.
Zhu Jinglun doesn’t want money. Whether it’s Chen Qixin or Hou Jin, he can stay with him for a few days
The most urgent thing is to inform Zhang Qianshan, let Zhang Qian Shan act immediately, and let Zhang Qian Shan desperately guard the fort, which is not so easy to attack.
Section 56 Make a suit of SAO
Zhang Qian Shan is definitely not a stupid guy who got up by the military in troubled times. If he was stupid, he would have died a hundred times.
Therefore, it is just a verbal promise of Nanxiong guerrilla, even if it is impossible to make him desperately. It is not that this promise is not attractive enough, but a mere promise that Zhang Qian Shan may not believe.
Zhu Jinglun had a meal with Zhang Qian Shan once, but he can be sure that Zhang Qianshan is an ambitious person who doesn’t necessarily value money too much, but values fame and fortune.
Therefore, Zhu Jinglun has to convince Zhang Qian Shan that he will definitely be promoted if he goes to play battery.
For example, let Zhang Qian Shan believe that Zhu Jinglun chooses to give money
Things are so weird that Zhang Qian Shan actively winks at Zhu Jinglun’s side, just to recover the credit for Guangzhou. Of course, it is necessary to get promoted, but it is difficult for him to believe that if he doesn’t value money, he can make him believe it.
be
Zhu Jinglun intends to send Zhang Qian Shan twelve thousand silver in the name of Baigui to tell him that this is a reward from the governor’s adult.
Zhang Qian Shan doesn’t love money, but what would Zhang Qian Shan think if Baigui gave him such a large reward before he hit the battery? He would definitely feel that Governor Baigui attached great importance to attacking the battery, and that attacking the battery was very important, so he would believe that he could be promoted after hitting the battery.
Therefore, this 12,000 yuan is actually to let Zhang Qian Shan feel the sincerity of Bai Gui.
Zhu Jinglun went to the Zhang family early the next morning and told Zhang Long, the contact person of the Zhang family.
"You go and tell your adult that Huang has dispatched three armies to surround Guangzhou, east, west, north and south. There are heavy troops in the south of the city. You can send the troops to ambush the Yi navy the day before yesterday. Adult Lin Fuxiang has suffered heavy losses and has tried to fight again. This is your adult’s opportunity. The governor’s adult recommended your adult to attack the south of the city fort. If it is successful, the governor’s adult said that you should increase your people to be guerrillas!"
Zhang Long set out as soon as he heard it. It’s not good for him to take people to live in Qingyuan. Qingyuan magistrate of a county was very dissatisfied with his inexplicably coming to Qingyuan. Huang Zonghan was also very angry with Zhang Qian Shan for not sending troops to Guangzhou. He reprimanded Zhang Qian Shan and ordered him to lead troops back to Nanxiong immediately.
However, Zhang Qian Shan really didn’t want to give up recovering Guangzhou’s credit, so he temporarily dragged himself to raise food and waited for Zhu Jinglun’s news.
When Zhang Long arrived in Qingyuan, he met Zhang Qian Shan when he flew into a rage. At this time, all the arrogant soldiers in the camp were afraid to know their total temper.
Zhang Long quickly reported Zhu Jinglun’s opinion to Zhang Qian Shan.
Zhang Qianshan was not as happy as Zhang Long imagined, but snorted, "What a thief!"
Zhu Jinglun didn’t know that Zhang Qian Shan had been called by Huang Zonghan to reprimand him. He also said that Zhang Qian Shan was not connected with Huang Zonghan, otherwise he wouldn’t have lied to Zhang Qian Shan.
In fact, as early as Qingyuan magistrate challenged himself, Zhang Qian Shan felt that something was wrong. Supposedly, he was transferred by the governor’s adult, and Qingyuan magistrate should raise hay for himself, but he was very dissatisfied with his arrival.
