Chapter 723 The capital is more important!

Following Datou to Qinzheng Hall, he met the emperor, Prince Zheng Duanhua and Su Shun were full of worries, and Han Xiufeng realized that it must be the matter of the two barbarians of England and Buddhism.

Just as he was about to dust off the horse's hooves and bow down, the emperor said coldly: "Don't kneel down, look at the Tianjin report first."

Seeing Sushun handing over a memorial, Han Xiufeng hurriedly said, "I obey the order."

When I opened the memorial, I saw that it was indeed the warships of the two countries of Britain and Buddha, but the envoys who changed the contract had not arrived. I didn’t know who translated the name of the commander of the army and the name of He Bo.

Seeing that the turrets that had been destroyed on both sides of Haikou were not only built again, but also tall and strong. The water surface of Haikou was blocked by several iron chains, which was very vigilant. He sent people to submit a very rude note, asking them to quickly remove the river-blocking facilities and remove the "country heroes" on the fort, otherwise they would "removal" themselves.

Han Xiufeng didn't know what to say, so Prince Zheng Duanhua asked in a low voice: "Brother Han, you have been to Tianjin more than once and should know everything about the fort. I want to ask why the people who are stationed in the fort are the townsmen, but not the official army."

"Report to the prince, as far as the officials know, all the people stationed at the fort are official troops, not the township heroes, but they are wearing the township heroes' clothes."

"This Senggelinqin, I don't report such a big deal."

It was just to let the officers and soldiers change into the clothes of the village heroes to numb foreigners. It was really not a big deal. Han Xiufeng was speechless when Xianfeng suddenly asked: "Han Aiqing, Senggelinqin and Hengfu said in the report that more than 20 gunships of all sizes were brought together, with only 3,000 soldiers. You have led the troops to fight and are familiar with coastal defense. Do you think if you really start fighting, can we win this battle?"

"Report to the emperor, the last time I went to Dagukou was one month ago. In the last three days of the 23rd, 27th and 29th of last month, the monk king personally took the fort and ordered the soldiers guarding the Taiwan Strait on both sides to practice three artillery battles. Using the sand ships that were released down as the target, they fired a total of 19 artillery guns at the first time, and two artillery guns at the first time; the second time, the total number of 28 artillery guns at the first time, and three artillery guns at the second time; the last time, the total number of 31 artillery guns at the first time, and four artillery guns at the first time."

"How many cannons can you hit the right one?" Xianfeng asked subconsciously.

Han Xiufeng hurriedly explained: "Report to the emperor, it is difficult to get accurate in the ships on the river. Even if the Western gunners come ashore, they will be the same. I think this accuracy is already very high, and it is not easy to get accurate in one round of cannons and two or three cannons."

"According to my dear, their cannons are quite accurate?"

"The emperor's clarification." Han Xiufeng thought for a while, then bowed and said, "The monk's rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished. In each drill, the aiming hands and firemen of the accurate cannons are rewarded with one tael of silver, and the other cannons are rewarded with a string of money. It is precisely because of the clear rewards and punishments that the soldiers guarding the Taiwan Strait are very generous, and all this is seen by my own eyes."

…………

PS: I sincerely thank the book friends of "Wei Mian Mian" for their generous rewards. I will add another chapter to express my gratitude!

"In this way, can this battle be fought?"

"The Monk King is a veteran on the battlefield. I think if the battle is really started, we will have at least 70% or 80% chance of winning this battle."

After hearing what Han Xiufeng said, Xianfeng was in a much better mood. But he thought that only more than twenty gunships came from the Western Yi this time, and less than three thousand soldiers came. He said with a blank expression: "It is easy to start a war, but it is difficult to stop a war. It is better not to start a war. It is always necessary to stop a war."

"I can't even remember how many records I have in my own grades. Is your official job too confused?"

"I'm busy all day long, so how can I remember these."

"Okay, okay, I know you're busy," Sushun smiled and said lightly: "As long as there is an increase, it's good to donate a few levels quickly. Go back and use an increase to pay off the charges of Xu Haoran's impeachment, so as not to gossip."

Han Xiufeng had long expected this to be the result and couldn't help asking: "Where are Wang Qianli and Ding Zhu and the others?"

"What's the matter with Wang Qianli? He had done it under your hands, but he had violated the law of the king. If you want to talk about old subordinates, those senior ministers had many old friends. Can't they be officials with their old friends? Yu Tiesuo could also say that you are just a fellow countryman with him. After all, your brother-in-law is suitable for being a job in Nanyuan. First, I will be dismissed. Looking back, I'll see if there is any suitable lack, and help him find another job."

"Thank you for your care."

"I'll just say this."

Sushun didn't want to talk about these trivial matters anymore, and suddenly his face turned up: "Zhixing, I asked you to go to the Patrol Department to assist Prince Hui. No matter how important Tianjin is, it is not as important as the capital! Prince Hui does other things, who will feel at ease to rely on him to lead troops to fight? I can't believe others, I only believe you, go to the Patrol Department to keep a good eye on it. If there is a war, it depends on you!"

"But……"

"I know what you are worried about. Prince Hui has nothing to worry about. If there is a war and the war is really corrupt to that point, even if my boss doesn't go, Prince Yi will go to the patrol department to support you."

"Okay, then I'll go and pay homage to Prince Hui first."

"I'll go with you."

"Sir, you will accompany me, this is not appropriate!"

"I won't be with you, so don't say you're going to pay homage. I'm afraid you can't even get in."
