Yu Linsheng's ship still sank, but fortunately it was out of the range of the Westerners' artillery, and the man who fell into the water was quickly rescued by the wingman. Yu Linsheng, who was wet all over, was extremely depressed, and finally knelt down on one knee in front of Yu Dayou, and said loudly with red eyes: "The last general is arrogant and arrogant, and he does not listen to the general's orders, resulting in heavy losses, and five hundred brothers have lost their lives in vain. ”

Yu Dayou was also unambiguous, and shouted: "Left and right, drag Yu Linsheng down and cut it down." ”

The soldiers on the left and right did not hesitate to rush forward and capture Yu Linsheng and strip off the battle armor. All the generals were shocked, and Wang Lin'er hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Yu, Yu Guerrilla should indeed be killed if he does not listen to the military order, but for the sake of his brave battle and heavy damage to the Western fleet, can you spare his life." ”

Wang Zhi also stood up and pleaded: "What General Wang said is extremely true, Yu Guerrilla has made a lot of meritorious contributions before, and General Yu will open up and let him make the public guilty." ”

"That's right, you can let the guerrilla Yu make the blame." Other generals also came forward to intercede, including Xie Erjian and Cen Lan.

Yu Dayou didn't say anything with a cold face, and his eyes swept over the Jiangxi army with sad and angry expressions. Wang Duo of the Thousand Households of Yiyang Thousand Households was clever, and secretly poked Xiong Bai of the Thousand Households of the Thousand Households of the Lead Mountain, and then fell down on one knee and said: "General Yu, the last general is arrogant and arrogant, and does not listen to orders, and asks General Yu to deal with it together." ”

Xiong Bai is an honest man, but he is not a stupid person, and he immediately followed the ground on one knee to ask for punishment, and the Jiangxi soldiers had to kneel on the ground to give in.

Yu Dayou didn't really want to cut down Yu Linsheng, but he didn't have enough prestige and it was difficult to command a group of fierce generals, so he took this opportunity to establish his authority, and now that he had enough face, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Yu Linsheng, since all the generals are interceding for you, and thinking about the courage of the Jiangxi Army, the general will spare your life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. ”

The faces of all the Jiangxi soldiers changed, and the thirty military sticks said that it was not too much, and it was not too much to say that it was too little, and that heavy hands and feet could kill people, and the surname Yu was clearly to announce revenge.

Just when the Jiangxi soldiers were sad and angry, they heard Yu Dayou continue: "Remember the thirty military sticks for the time being, and then execute them after the Western thieves are exterminated, and if there is meritorious service, it can be exempted." Is there any objection to the punishment of the general by the guerrilla Yu? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the Jiangxi generals breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Linsheng glanced at Yu Dayou with complicated eyes, and arched his hand: "The last general has no objections." ”

"Okay, now we will collect our troops and rest, and then attack the island in the afternoon." Yu Dayou said loudly.

At this time, the sentry on the lookout suddenly issued a warning, and everyone looked up in the direction of Hong Kong Island, only to see a Western ship flying a white flag heading towards this direction.

"Bah, could it be that the Westerners want to negotiate again?" Qi Jingtong scolded.

Wang Lin'er smiled: "This is a good thing, it shows that the Westerners are almost unable to withstand it, this time there should really be little ammunition on the island, maybe another onslaught will be able to take Hong Kong Island." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were brightly lit up, and Feng Laoliu rubbed his hands and said: "It is reasonable, or I will vote for him now." ”

Yu Dayou said calmly: "Let's see the intentions of the Westerners first." ”

All the generals nodded when they heard this, anyway, the Westerners were isolated and helpless, and there was no material supply, so there was really no need to worry.

Yu Dayou gave an order, and several bow clippers quickly met it, holding the Western-style ship with a white flag in its bow hostage, and cutting off its back road. Soon, the Western-style ship sailed to the front, and the hooks of the Ming army flew out one after another, hooking the side of the Western-style ship, and dozens of soldiers climbed up quickly with ropes to control the whole bow.

Under the guns of the 500 battalion of fierce soldiers, Pires raised his hands very consciously and said loudly: "No, no, no, don't shoot, I am the commander of the coalition forces, Pires, and I am here to negotiate." ”

Guo Jindiao couldn't help but say, stepped forward to smash Pires down with the butt of a gun, and said disdainfully: "Talk about your uncle's sentence and tie it up!" ”

The two thugs immediately rushed forward and tied Pires up firmly, and all the dozen or so sailors on board were disarmed and bound.

"No, no, no, you can't treat the envoy like this, I am the commander of the coalition forces, Pires, and I am a friend of your governor Xu Jin." Pires screamed hoarsely.

Guo Jindiao frowned and said coldly: "Do you know our handsome?" ”

Pires received a rifle butt on his face, and the pain was so painful that blood flowed, and when he heard the words, he nodded violently and said: "I know, I was drinking and chatting with your handsome in the capital of your country, and thanks to Brother Xu's guidance, I was able to meet the Son of Heaven." Zi said: There are friends from afar, and they are very happy. I believe that you will also be happy to meet me, an old friend from afar. ”

Guo Jindiao couldn't help but be happy, and scolded with a smile: "Your fucking foreign fan is still sour, come on, you can also put gold on your face, if you want to see our handsome, let's pass the pass of General Yu first!" ”

After Guo Jindiao finished speaking, he picked up Pires and returned to Yu Dayou's boat.

……

Tuen Mun is the area of Tuen Mun District of Hong Kong today, and it is only thirty or forty miles away from Hong Kong Island, and Xu Jin, the Governor of Zhejiang, was stationed in Tuen Mun, and the sound of artillery battles on Hong Kong Island could be heard every day.

Although Xu Jin handed over the fleet to Yu Dayou's command, it did not mean that he was completely ignorant, and the shuttled clippers would send the battle report here in time for him to see. At this time, Xu Jin held the latest battle report that had just been sent in his hand, the Jiangxi army failed in the attack, and Yu Linsheng, a thousand households in Shangrao, was punished by Yu Dayou......

After reading this battle report, Xu Jin couldn't help but smile, I heard that Yu Dayou, this kid, studied under Wang Xuan, Lin Fu and Cai Qing, all three of whom are famous "Yili" scholars.

Yu Dayou wanted to establish his authority, but Xu Jin naturally couldn't dismantle the stage, so he immediately wrote a warrant to remove Yu Linsheng from his position as a guerrilla general, and demoted him to a deputy thousand households for meritorious service.

As a result, as soon as Xu Jin's warrant was sent by the messenger, Yu Dayou sent a report saying that the commander of the Western Alliance, Pires, had personally come to ask for peace talks and asked the commander to make a decision.

Xu Jin couldn't help but smile after reading the report, it seems that the Westerners are about to be unbearable, and even Pires did not hesitate to come to the peace talks in person, the sincerity is very strong, but he might as well meet him, so he ordered someone to send a message to Pires to Tuen Mun.

About an hour later, Pires was sent by Yu Dayou to send a clipper, poor Commander Pi was still tied up by five flowers, Xu Jin naturally would not go to the dock to meet him, so Pires, who was tied into a dumpling, was carried into Xu Jin's governor's yamen hall like that.

"Hey, how can you treat your Excellency Pires like this, why don't you loosen your ties quickly!" Xu Jin stood up and pretended to be surprised.

The two recruits untied the ropes on Pires with a smile, and the latter had a strong psychological quality, stood up and tidied up his clothes, and gave a very gentlemanly chest salute and said: "After a few years, Lord Xu's demeanor is still the same, congratulations!" ”

Xu Jin glanced at Pires's red, swollen and bleeding left cheek, and teased: "Your Excellency Pires's face is full of red, his demeanor is still better than before, and the faster he is proficient in Chinese, admire and admire!" ”

Pires twitched his cheeks, and laughed dryly twice: "Doesn't Lord Xu invite an old friend to sit down and talk?" ”

Xu Jin laughed and said: "I only care about gathering the old, but I forgot that His Excellency Pires is still standing, please sit down and watch the tea!" ”

Pires sat down across from the coffee table, and his own servant served tea.

"Lord Xu, let's open the skylight and say something, I am here to talk peacefully this time." Pires took a sip of tea and said.

Xu Jin said calmly: "The peace talks are good, please give an explanation first!" ”

"As long as your army stops attacking, we will return Hong Kong Island on our own, and it would be better if your country could open up for trade, and we Westerners will never harass your country's maritime frontiers again, and we will do business properly from now on. What does Lord Xu think? ”

Xu Jin said lightly: "Your Excellency Pires, do you think you can still defend Hong Kong Island?" It's not interesting to use this as a bargaining chip, and as for opening up maritime trade, it's not that this can't be discussed. ”

Pires's eyes lit up, but he quickly frowned and said, "Lord Xu means to attack the island?" ”

Xu Jin smiled lightly: "It's okay if you don't attack, you can all disarm and surrender, and compensate me for two million taels of silver." ”
