Huang Zonghan and Bai Gui rarely reward them at the same time. Huang Zonghan sent three fat pigs, and Bai Gui took out twelve thousand silver.
After a day’s sleep, the coolie actually got the wine, killed the pig and set up a banquet to party all night.
Zhu jinglun didn’t stop them, but he was relieved that the coolies also had dignity addiction and all the sense of honor. They would still be happy if they won.
When Zhu Jinglun came and wanted to celebrate with them, these guys were even more worried. When did Zhu Jinglun give them those five smoke bubbles to disappoint Zhu Jinglun?
Just when Baigui invited him, let the black dog take charge of giving them smoke bubbles and went to Baigui himself.

Section 16 The British also like crows.
I drank a lot of wine in Huang Zonghan, and Bai Gui had another banquet. Zhu Jinglun felt that he seemed to drink a little too much.
It’s already September, and it’s sultry. Is it an illusion that he should see a group of British people get together to eat crow’s feet?
These British people are in a military camp with Bai Gui, and their prisoners have handed over all their weapons, but there should be no shortage of them in daily life. It is strange that there is great smoke here, and it is even more strange that they enjoy eating great smoke.
"Do you British people also have crow-owl addiction?"
Zhu Jinglun couldn’t help asking about Hurd. He came to see Hurd. He just told Bai Gui about the Guangzhou crisis. Zhu Jinglun suggested that we should still talk about temporary military victory. It is not necessarily impossible to talk about money without loss. He hoped that Hurd would be a middleman to communicate with the British army, but he suddenly saw the scene in Hurd’s room. He drank too much and had hallucinations.
"Why don’t most officers like to attract crows and birds? No, you smoky people like Turkish crows and birds with higher purity."
Hurd replied in a tone that usually doesn’t seem to be strange.
In fact, Zhu Jinglun also knows that the British have the habit of smoking cigarettes. He once argued with some foreign diplomats about the justice of the crow-crow war. China called it two crow-crow wars, while the British claimed that the trade war and the British-French Coalition forces refused to admit that the war was caused by the crow-crow trade, and they insisted that it was a fight for trade freedom.
It’s morally ugly to resort to force against another ancient country for admitting blatant drug trafficking. The first argument of the British is that the crow-and-feather trade was legal in Britain at that time. Zhu Jinglun doesn’t agree with this statement. Does it mean that the British crow-and-feather trade was legal and forced China to release crow-and-feather trade? Dutch poison is legal in later generations, and it is legal for the Dutch to force other countries. This is a typical robber logic force to promote their world outlook and values in the world
Unfortunately, a group of China scholars accept the British saying that people in Britain don’t ban crow-owl trade. The responsibility for the war lies not in Britain, but in Lin Zexu’s brutal treatment of those crow-owl merchants. These scholars probably can’t tell that it is illegal to use force to fight another country even for formal trade!
Zhu Jinglun knew that there were imported crows in Britain, but he read the information that Britain was mainly a medicine, of course, there would be some addiction to crows, but he didn’t expect crows to be so popular in the British army. According to Hurd, most of their officers ate crows, which was more serious than the Manchu army
Of course, the way the British make crows is different from that in China. China addicts are called heavy smokers because they smoke, while the British are another way. They don’t call crows heavy smokers because they make them drink instead of smoking.
They dissolve crow’s feet in red wine to make crow’s feet medicated wine to drink, or use crow’s feet and crow’s feet preparations as daily medicines like aspirin and paracetamol. What’s more, they make crow’s feet into baby tranquilizers to prevent them from crying. They are really abnormal.
Listen, Hurd described the situation that the British make crows, especially when they stop babies from crying, so he was full of sympathy for the British. It was a corrupt country. They actually started with babies.
King George III of England was a raven-eater. Following George IV’s love of brandy to give crow tincture, a large number of romantic British artists also sought inspiration from the illusion of crow-eater. Queen Victoria criticized British men for losing their masculinity when they ascended the throne in 137.
Influenced by the concept of the Queen and some elite aristocrats, the mainstream British society is full of contempt for addicts despite the wide spread of Turkish crows, and regards them as "a group of self-destructive people"
Zhu Jinglun nodded. "This is consistent with our country. Why do you all know the harm of crows and don’t ban them?"
Hurd shrugged. "What should be banned? What’s the reason for the free government to interfere? Moreover, the British crow trade is huge and growing every year. According to our sea data, about 9 9oooo pounds of crow were imported every year 30 years ago, and it has increased to 2 ooo pounds in recent years, which embeds huge taxes! "
Well, the British actually know that crows are not good things, but they can tolerate people’s corruption because of some tax benefits.
But it is hard for Zhu Jinglun to accept the wry smile.
"All right, let’s not talk about this. I’m here to discuss with you. We have decided to release you. You should know that war can’t be permanent. I believe that trade is in the interests of both of us. I believe that this period of war has caused great losses to both of us."
Before the war, Guangzhou’s sea tax once reached 30 thousand taels of silver per year, and in the last three years, due to the gradual corruption of the sea government, it can also pay 10 thousand taels of silver to BJ every year.
Hurd was a little surprised. "I heard you won?"
He did have some surprises. He knew the people of China, especially the pulse of China bureaucrats. He knew that the emperor of BJ City was not interested in whether he could trade with foreigners unless he personally participated in promoting trade. It was simply impossible. Ten years ago, they could sign a trade treaty with Britain, but these days he heard that China had won a battle, but Zhu Jinglun told himself that he wanted to negotiate. He didn’t understand it.
Zhu Jinglun smiled. "I am different from them. I know the benefits of trade because I used to be a businessman."
Hurd nodded his head, which was not credible, but he couldn’t think of a more reasonable reason.
Hurd asked, "Since this is a negotiation, can I know your demands?"
Zhu Jinglun said, "Peace and peace are our greatest aspirations."
Hurd said, "What are you going to pay?"
Since you want peace, you have to pay some benefits.
Zhu Jinglun said, "Trade allows British people to trade in Guangzhou."
Hurd said, "That’s no good. You must promise to respect the J Treaty."
Zhu Jinglun refused to allow you to occupy Guangzhou City by respecting the J Treaty? Do you think this is possible? "
Hurd sighed, "So what’s your bottom line? Is Guangzhou City? "
This is the cliche. Hurd has worked in the consulate for so many years. Of course, he knows that if he has to get his hand in Guangzhou, there is no need for China people to negotiate. He still asks this question because he wants to know how much China people are prepared to pay for Guangzhou.
Without modesty, Zhu Jinglun has more diplomatic experience than Hurd.
Laughing, "Mr. Hurd, you are a bridge between us. Do you think it is possible for me to tell you our bottom line?"
Hurd smiled, his mind was caught, and he didn’t speak. He asked himself when he could go and then packed his luggage.
Zhu Jinglun, on the other hand, gathered together and drank the crow’s-eye tincture red wine. It is necessary for the addict to control their poison and even their thoughts. If so, these British officers may directly ask them to help them deal with their compatriots.
Section 17 Xianfeng Reading Letters
Hurd has long wanted to leave the prison camp. Although they are hungry here, they are definitely not good. He hasn’t bathed for months, which is definitely not decent.
But more importantly, what is happening at present is not in line with his concept. In the eyes of military experts, diplomacy is a means of war. Chinese people say that diplomacy is just a courtesy to inform the other side. However, in the eyes of diplomats, diplomacy is not only a military vassal, but also an extreme diplomatic method. It is a diplomatic means that is forced to be carried out when diplomacy is unbalanced or out of control, so once war breaks out, it means diplomatic failure.
These days, the British attack on Guangzhou does not conform to Hurd’s diplomatic philosophy. In his view, after signing a diplomatic treaty with China, the war should not continue. The recovery of Guangzhou by China Township Brave did destroy the treaty. However, what the British should do at the first time is not to raise an army to attack, but to negotiate diplomatically, so that China people can guarantee to abide by the treaty. Whether other people occupy Guangzhou or not is actually not the point.
Hurd knows very well that the purpose of Britain’s military action to fight this war is definitely not simple. Isn’t the purpose of fighting a decent treaty? Now that the treaty has been signed, it is unnecessary to resort to war.
So Hurd had asked for him to leave the city many times before, and this time Zhu Jinglun said that Baigui finally let him out of the city, and he couldn’t wait to tidy up his horse and go out.
Zhu Jinglun couldn’t help admiring Hurd’s positive attitude despite repeated blows. No wonder he was honored by both China and Britain when he left the China Sea for half a century. His success was not a fluke!
It was Hurd’s disfigurement and thorough recovery of his left leg limping out of Guangzhou that really made Zhu Jinglun feel a little uncomfortable. These were all caused by himself.
Send Hurd Zhu Jinglun back to the barracks. The coolies have already got up. Zhu Jinglun gave five smoke bubbles to the coolies who fought in the war as promised, which made everyone satisfied with those coolies who had been eliminated before and had no chance to go to war. They also didn’t have a hard time. They can borrow some from their friends and companions. It is not known whether they will be usured.
There were sacrifices in this battle. A total of one prisoner died, including serious injuries, and three others recovered from their injuries and could not continue fighting. Zhu Jinglun ordered those dead coolies to be sent back to their homes. Two of them were buried, and two of them couldn’t find their families. The unlucky Zhu Jinglun also let them continue to make a living in the army, including broken legs and two missing arms. The problem is that it is really cost-effective to let others feel at ease with this little money.
Calling coolies this time, Zhu Jinglun carefully edited them. Qi Jiguang said that the core part of the training is to establish an organization, and the core of the organization is the managers, military managers and of course officers at all levels
These coolies are organized. Zhu Jinglun didn’t intend to create chaos, so he didn’t dare to break up their organization. He still asked the leaders of various leading classes to divide the whole army into two posts, and the number of each post was one. The chief of the post was the leading posts and the captain of each team was one. The battalion commander asked the chief of the post to order four posts, and the battalion commander asked the four chiefs to report it after consulting themselves.
Battalion, sentry and team are different from the flag and green camp, but they are exactly the same as Xiang, who also refers to Qi Jiguang’s method. Therefore, Zhu Jinglun’s method of compiling and training the army is not a disgrace, and it will not arouse criticism. At the same time, it will improve the chaotic organization of the Qing army. You should know that the Qing army has no grass-roots officers, and the smallest army in green camp is a flood season, but it varies from a few people to hundreds.
Of course, some people are dissatisfied. For example, Hou Jin is very frustrated. He doesn’t even have a battalion officer.
Zhu Jinglun didn’t intend to mix sand. He begged these coolies to be able to do what he could for the time being. They were organized in Hou Jin, and he didn’t appease him. He needed to sharpen Hou Jin’s temperament. He found that Hou Jin was a little anxious during this period, and he regarded himself as Zhu Jinglun’s left-hand man and right-hand man bossing black dogs around. But this time, because of his leading position, the black dog wooed the other three leading men and became a battalion officer. Hou Jin got nothing, but he suddenly became a army of one, which would teach him a profound lesson.
With the organization, Zhu Jinglun selected more than a dozen Indian soldiers, who served as deputy sentries and asked them to help train.
After coming back this time, Zhu Jinglun immediately abolished more than 200 Indian soldiers, leaving five people to be abolished based on their attitude.
On the same day, when the British army landed in Zhu Jinglun, it was found that not every Indian soldier fought back. When the British army came back, they counted the ammunition and found that most Indian soldiers did not shoot at the British army. Therefore, those theories were eliminated because they did not have the courage to fight back against the British army or have it both ways slipped his head
These five people are much more dead set. They have already shot at their master and then they can follow Zhu Jinglun to the dark. It was also a warlords for them to fight back against the British at that time, including the aspiring young man Garava Zhu Jinglun, who directly ordered him to leave three Indian commanders and asked him to be the captain, including two deputy commanders. Now these five Indian soldiers are considered reliable mercenaries in Zhu Jinglun’s hands.
After the completion of the military training, the organization was not disrupted, so there was no confusion. After they were trained according to the British training methods, Zhu Jinglun surrendered his eyes to the British prisoners.
