As Han Xiufeng expected, Sushun learned that the two English and Buddha were sharpening their knives and preparing to fight, so he only said one thing and knew, and then asked him to go back and continue to inquire carefully.

The court did not take this seriously at all, or did not want to take it seriously. Han Xiufeng felt that even if he was inquired clearly, it would be useless, so he simply made the worst plan.

Everything else is easy to deal with, but it is more troublesome to send the family members of the church and relatives and friends back to their hometown.

The capital is not a place to stay for a long time, and Yangzhou is even more peaceful!

Yang Qinghe, the shopkeeper in the bookstore, was unwilling to let his wife, and his daughter-in-law and grandchildren go back to his hometown in Yangzhou. Fortunately, Qingxian's family had a village in Liangxiang, so Han Xiufeng simply asked him to send his wife and children to Liangxiang;

Yu Tiesuo's wife was also unwilling to go back like this. How could Han Xiufeng let them take risks? She forced Zhuzi and Yu Tiesuo to send them and their kids with a stern face. She followed the Ao family who felt that there would be no future in the capital and returned to Sichuan.

.

Cuihua originally planned to take her two children to Sichuan with them, but she thought that she had no relatives or friends in Ba County, but she took her husband back to her parents' home in Taizhou with Wang Qianli's family. And Datou not only did not object

Before he could say that he would not become an official in the future, he would go to Hai'an to reunite with his wife and settle his home in Hai'an.

Ji Lu was a man of man, and he worked in the "Houyi Hall" again. The woman could not leave the capital forty miles without arbitrarily. Han Xiufeng simply asked Wang Qianli to find a two-bedroom house in Nanyuan to specifically accommodate female relatives who could not be too far away from the capital.

After everything is arranged, it has entered the twelfth lunar month.

All yamen are preparing for seals, and provincial and government offices have begun to prepare for the year-end reunion. Local governors, governors, supervisors, and some Taoist officials and even prefects who want to go further and further, began to send people to Beijing to see them off.

Tan Jing. Han Xiufeng is still a "little military aircraft". The one he deserves is naturally not missing. Yu Youfu is as busy as last year. In the past half month, Guangmen bags were collected.

Twenty taels.

Han Xiufeng is no longer the alternate inspection who was so poor that he used to be. He doesn't care about that little money, so he is too lazy to see the families of those officials, but stays in the bookshop every day to wait for news.

As a result, after waiting for more than ten days, Leng did not wait for news from Guangdong, but instead waited for Nian Jing, which was sent through money bank ticket numbers, including Fuzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo, Shanghai and other sub-regions!

Fujian Customs Commissioner Fugui reunites one thousand taels, Fujian Navy raised the platoon of the left garrison Erdenbu and Gu Jinyan, who had been promoted from Tong'an Dianshi to Tong'an, each brought 500 taels, Zhejiang, who was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Customs Assistant Committee Member Xu Shuangxi and Yin County Magistrate Jiang Zhengxin each received 500 taels...

The habits in the officialdom spread to the "Houyi Hall" so quickly. Han Xiufeng really didn't know what to say. After Ji Lu finished reporting the account, he looked up and said, "Along with the more than 10,000 taels I collected when I inspected the coastal defense in Tianjin.

, all sent to the Shanghai semicolon. Please ask Qingxian to write a letter to Mr. Liu and the others, and ask them to find a way to buy the firebuzzer guns and buy as many as they can!”

"Fourth Master, just send them all over. How can you use your own money?"

"The errands for inspecting coastal defense were given by the emperor. I also collected the more than 10,000 taels of silver for the emperor. How can I be considered my own? Just make the decision. Go and do it quickly."

Ji Lu didn't know how many months Han Xiufeng had given him, and he collected more than 10,000 taels of silver. He felt that he could not pay for his own money when doing things for the court, so he couldn't help but say, "Fourth Master, if you want to talk about foreign guns, you are not already.

Did you ask Mr. Wang to help buy it? Which of the people in our hall can fire guns? Even if they can fire guns, there is no need to buy so many!"

Han Xiufeng thought that his life was almost gone, what's the use of asking for so much money? He stared at him and said unquestionably: "It's not easy for us to use someone, so don't be too slow, hurry up and do it."

Ji Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Well, let's do it now."

Unexpectedly, when Ji Lu just walked out of the exhibition hall, Prince Gong Yi appeared in front of him. Han Xiufeng was startled and just stood up to pay homage to him. Yi? Then he crossed the threshold and walked in and said, "What a favor to the emperor, Han Shaoqing,

If all the officials of the Qing Dynasty were like you, why worry about being injustice with hair? What should we worry about Western barbarians?"

"I made the prince laugh. When the prince arrived, the official was in trouble and welcomed him. Please forgive me."

"I am so bored that I can't help but go around, Han Shaoqing doesn't need much politeness."

"The prince invites the superiors to sit down, and the emperor will go to make tea now."

"If you want to take the tea and water, let the people below do it. You can also sit down and tell me about the situation in Guangdong."

Han Xiufeng knew that he was quiet and thoughtful, otherwise he would not have come here, who should have been studying in Nanshu. In the past six months, he would not have submitted six or seven comments to criticize current problems. Unfortunately, the emperor did not seem to have planned to use him.

The notes on them are like stones sinking to the sea.

Seeing that he asked about the barbarian affairs again, he was not sure where to start, and suddenly there was a noise outside. Then a guard ran in and said, "Report to Prince, Lord Han, Mr. Wang is back!"

Before Han Xiufeng could speak, he had seen Wang Naizeng's Yi more than once. He asked subconsciously: "Which Mr. Wang is Wang Naizeng?"

"Report to the prince, he is the lower rank." Wang Naizeng squeezed in from behind the guards, and kowtowed and bowed.

"You... haven't you gone to Guangdong? Why did you come back so soon?" Yi? I felt very strange and subconsciously turned around and looked at Han Xiufeng.

Han Xiufeng felt very suddenly, and helped Wang Naizeng up, who was exhausted and asked, "Brother Yunqing, what happened? How could you do this?"

"Report to the prince, report to the emperor, Guangzhou has fallen!" Wang Naizeng wiped his sweat and said with a bitter face: "The bank account that conveyed the message to us was looted by foreigners, and the shopkeeper and his friend ran away. Yun Qijun was the court.

The life officer cannot leave his post without permission. I can only ask his students who have some friendship with foreigners to spend a total of 4,000 taels to hire a steamer and come back quickly to report the news of the fall of Guangzhou!"

Han Xiufeng is not surprised that Guangzhou has fallen, let alone this is not the first time it has fallen.

Han Xiufeng greeted him and sat down and asked in a low voice: "When did it happen, how did it fall? Ye Mingchen, Bai Gui and Jiang Guolin and other Guangdong officials are fine?"

"Nineteen days ago, that is, last month's fourteenth."

Wang Naizeng took a peek at Prince Gong Yi, and said solemnly: "Actually, we have received news that the two British and Buddhist barbarians were going to attack Guangzhou. We not only reminded the Guangdong governor Jiang Guolin, but also through Yun Qijun's students, Guangzhou

Those gentry went to the Governor's Office to remind Lord Ye, but he believed in Zhang Tongyun, the British translator who even his ancestors didn't want. He only believed Zhang Tongyun's nonsense and did not believe that Western foreigners would attack Guangzhou."

Yi? asked subconsciously: "How did that Zhang Tongyun tell him?"

"The man surnamed Zhang said that the Yi chief Erjin fled by land when he was defeated in Bangladesh. He was chased by Mengyi to the beach. When Foyi had a ship passing by, he fired several cannons in succession. Mengyi's troops began to retreat.

Only then can Eqin be spared from difficulties, and it is not worth worrying about Erjin's failure."

Wang Naiteng took the teacup from Han Xiufeng and then said, "The person surnamed Zhang said that the British heroine had an order to reach Hong Kong, so that Erjin would not make any rash moves, and would lose her national system if she went to the coastal provinces! It was a false story, and she was nonsense.

But Lord Ye believed in him so much that the Western Yi cannons rushed into the city. He also asked Lord Jiang who came to ask him about this, "Every gentlemen can make peace, he can allow everything, or give money."

, it is because he is really poor and embarrassed, and he can't enter the city alone for a single period of time'!"

"What happened later?" Han Xiufeng asked anxiously.

"Later, the governor came to survive, and the generals and subordinates of the Qianzong Deng Anbang and other subordinates went to ask him to mobilize troops to set up defenses. Some gentry followed him and asked him to let the regiment practice self-defense, but he refused to allow him to kill the barbarians without permission. He also said that he did

After a dream, Lu Dongbin told him in the dream that it was only a while and it would be fine after fifteen."

"As a result, before the afternoon of the afternoon, the Western Yi attacked the city. The commander-in-chief came to survive. The soldiers of the Qianlong General Deng Anbang and other soldiers rushed to fight and died one after another. Guangzhou General Mukdena and Guangdong Governor Bai Gui and other officials were first captured by the Western Yi alive.

He was tied to Guanyin Mountain and was then put back to the yamen. Everything had to be followed by Bashali, Harrowey and Foyi Xiulai.

Wang Naiteng took a sip of water and then said, "Now Guangzhou City has become the Guangzhou City of Western Yi. There are soldiers and soldiers from Western Yi everywhere, and there are on every street. In order to control Guangzhou, what kind of coalition has it been set up.

The committee. All the decrees issued by Bashali, Harrowway and Shulai were approved by Bashali, and the three of them were approved by Bashali, Harrowway and Shulai.”

The dignified Guangdong Governor and Guangzhou General actually became puppets of the Western Barbarians. Prince Gong Yi was so angry that his face turned pale and asked gritted his teeth: "Where is Ye Mingchen?"

"When the city was broken, he hid in the Dutong Yamen, but was captured alive by the barbarians who were chased to the Dutong Yamen, and then tied out of the city and escorted to the Western Yi ships. While the Western Yi was waiting for his family to send him to change clothes,

Yun Qijun and I were by the river. We saw him and he also saw us. We and the onlookers pointed desperately into the river. But he pretended not to see him, and he was still talking, looking like he was chanting scriptures.

.”

They pointed to the river, which reminded Ye Mingchen that as a chief official of the border, he could not become a prisoner of the Western barbarians. Since he had the chance, he would jump into the river and commit suicide.

As a result, Ye Mingchen was not dead when he deserved to die. What was the face of the court? Han Xiufeng realized the seriousness of the problem and stared at Wang Naizeng and asked: "Where did the Western Yi take him?"

"Reported to the master, Naiteng and Yun Qijun's two students chased him to Hong Kong until they found out that the British were planning to take him to India before they hired a ship back." Wang Naiteng paused and added: "Hotel in Hong Kong

The steamer only sent me to Shanghai. I changed the boat from Shanghai to Tianjin and then rushed back by land."
