There was no suspense in the battle of Zhenjiang.

Although the reinforced Sichuan Governor Qi Shen and the 2,000 Tusi soldiers led by him rarely fought a beautiful ambush battle, and the Eight Banners Army stationed in the city and the reinforced Qingzhou Eight Banners Army also rarely fought a real street battle......

The latter actually mainly wants to run out of the city.

In short, in the face of the attacking 6,000 British troops, the nearly 20,000 Qing troops commanded by Lin Zexu were also a real bloody battle, but in the end it was useless. The British army captured Zhenjiang with 400 casualties, the Jingkou garrison Eight Banners were annihilated, including their families were killed by themselves in despair, Lin Zexu retreated to Nanjing, Jiangnan Caoyun was cut off, the Yangzhou gentry scraped together 500,000 taels of silver to Zhenjiang as quickly as possible, and Yilu gave up the attack on Yangzhou with great face.

Of course, he didn't think about it.

As long as he captured Zhenjiang, his goal had been achieved, and then he made a gesture of attacking Nanjing, and the British warships even cruised Xiaguan.

At the same time, Lin Zexu was dismissed by Daoguang for the loss of Zhenjiang, and the minister Yijing was also dismissed, and the new minister of Qincha, Qi Ying, and the new governor of Liangjiang, Niu Jian, proposed peace talks to the British army, and the two sides entered a state of armistice, and began negotiations in Jinghai Temple in Nanjing, as for how long the negotiations will last, it is very difficult to say, after all, the British's asking price is a bit too high.

But Daoguang actually didn't have much room for bargaining.

After all, his real enemy was Yang Feng.

On the same day of the Battle of Zhenjiang, Luo Xuan's troops also came to Guilin, although in order to avoid injuring the people, Yang Feng forbade the artillery second brigade assigned to him to bombard Guilin with 20 pounds of mortar and rockets, but with the bombardment of more than 100 smoothbore guns, he still took less than a day to blast Guilin City. Then the Ming army of the whole five infantry brigades entered Guilin, and Liang Zhangju, the governor of Guangxi, committed suicide by hanging the beam in the governor's yamen, so far the two core cities of Guangxi all fell into the hands of Yang Feng, and then the Ming army crossed the sea to attack Qiongzhou, and the general army of Qiongzhou Town surrendered, plus the Yangjiang and other places that surrendered before, Yang Feng completed the cleanup of his rear, except for the Dian army that retreated to the victory pass, he was left with only the main force of the Qing army in the north of Yishan.

However, Yang Feng was obviously not interested in going north to fight Yishan, and the two sides continued to stalemate on a long front from Meizhou in the east to Guilin in the west.

And the same was true of the Ming army in Fuzhou.

Xie Ping's people in Fuzhou has expanded to four infantry brigades and an artillery brigade, after the British army lifted the blockade, Yang Feng quickly transported a large number of new munitions to them, the third army also completed rifled guns, they are surrounded by Fuzhou General Song Pu led by the original Fuzhou garrison eight banners and green battalion and regimental training, the former can be said to have a common hatred against the Ming army, after all, their homes were all copied by the Ming army, but unfortunately there is no hatred but is still beaten by the Ming army again and again.

Anyway, they are also very sad and angry!

Just when all the Ming armies maintained the stalemate between the front and the Qing army, Lin Qirong, who was thrown to Taiwan by Yang Feng, performed amazingly, and after he and an infantry battalion were transported to Taiwan, they quickly defeated the Qing army's blockade and the Hong Association division who fled into the mountains and forests.

He was clever not to rush to expand.

Relying on the main force of the Ming army of that battalion, he easily defeated the crazy attack of Da Hong'a, the general soldier of Taiwan Town, and then relied on the armed Hongxiebu rebels to control the place, and began to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, quickly won the support of the people, and at the same time spread Yang Feng's holy oracle, so as to purify the thoughts of the people, imitate the Guangzhou area to carry out the grievance conference and rural grassroots construction, and even the reserve army system was established, and the Chiayi area became a steel fortress in just a few months. Soon, Da Hong'a and Yao Ying, the Taiwanese soldiers, lost the courage to attack, and how could the green battalions under them attack such a base area.

In other words, those militia women can beat those green battalion soldiers.

In this way, the Qing Dynasty entered the 20th year of Daoguang in the stormy year, that is, in 1840 of the Western calendar, and soon another spring passed, and in April, the third batch of reinforcements of the British army went north to Zhenjiang, and at the same time arrived at the new British negotiator Pu Dingcha, and after adding this batch of reinforcements, the total strength of the British army in China exceeded 20,000, of which the army increased to 12,000. With the arrival of this batch of reinforcements, the negotiations in Nanjing finally ended, Qiying and Pu Dingcha officially signed the Qingying Nanjing Treaty in Nanjing, Daoguang had to agree to almost all the demands of the British, pay 20 million in compensation, lease Zhoushan Island, as for Hailing Island and Hong Kong Island, of course, also rent, that place has been robbed by Yang Feng, open all ports......

In short, he gave everything the British wanted.

And in exchange......

"God Emperor, the British army is here again!"

Chen Liu said with a solemn face.

"Coming? If you come, you will come, and order the coal carriers on the side of Annan to stand by first, and the three ships of Dingzhenwei will withdraw to Humen, and the 10th Infantry Brigade will be transferred to Humen, the 9th Infantry Brigade will be transferred to Xiangshan, and the 20th Infantry Brigade will be reinforced. ”

Yang Feng said casually.

"God Emperor, are you worried about the landing of the British army?"

Chen Liu said cautiously.

"No, I'm afraid they won't land!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Indeed, what he is most worried about now is that the British army will not land, although Daoguang has finally learned to greet Victoria with a smile after being slapped in the face, but it is difficult to say how much Victoria can do for him, of course there is no problem in blockading Guangzhou, but it is not necessary to land and cooperate with the Qing army, saying that Daoguang's face is not so big, but if the British army does not land, his plan is still a little hanging......

"Order the Ninth Brigade to be stationed directly in Macau!"

He said suddenly.

"Macau?"

Chen Liu said unexpectedly.

"Yes, the Ninth Brigade will be stationed in Macau and all the British there will be arrested!"

Yang Feng said.

Macau.

"Damn, what are they going to do?"

The Governor of Macau, Bian Du, screamed as if he were mad as he watched the redshirts marching into Macau.

Yang Feng did not occupy Macao before, he only sent people to reiterate the rule of the Ming Dynasty over Macao, this was not a leased land, just a permitted foreigner settlement, but it was still under the management of Xiangshan County, after the Ming army occupied Xiangshan, the Xiangshan Military Management Committee reiterated this point to the Portuguese here and took over the customs, and then the State Administration of Taxation of the Ming Dynasty sent officials here to supervise the tax revenue of Macau, and according to the tax law of the Ming Dynasty, the due part was withdrawn from it, as for the governor of Macau and the city council were ignored, this institution was not recognized by the Ming Dynasty, Originally, the Ming Dynasty did not admit it in history, but the Portuguese bribed local officials to ignore it.

Yang Feng also continued to ignore them.

But if the Portuguese in Macao are accused of violating the law against the Ming people and go to the Xiangshan Military Management Commission, the police team of the Xiangshan Military Management Commission will also come to arrest people.

As for the Portuguese army in Macau, this was also ignored.

Civilian self-defense armed forces are still allowed in the Ming Dynasty, even their foreigners are allowed to keep weapons, these years merchant ships are carrying cannons, if foreigners are completely prohibited from carrying weapons, then a foreign merchant ship will not all have to be shot.

At this moment, these Portuguese soldiers were looking nervously at the Ming army coming in line.

"Your Excellency, what should I do?"

An official beside Bian Du asked in alarm.

"What to do? Can you stand up against five thousand elite soldiers armed with rifled guns? ”

Bian Du said speechlessly.

After speaking, he stepped forward to greet the director of the Xiangshan Military Management Committee who led the team and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Major, is there anything you need us to serve?" ”

The latter smiled.

"Mr. Biandu, the British re-invaded, in order to strengthen the coastal defense, His Majesty the Emperor specially transferred the Ninth Infantry Brigade to Macao to deploy defenses, and because of the barbaric behavior of the British, the Emperor was angry, so arrest all the British in Macao, you are the leader of the Portuguese here in Macao, you are familiar with the situation here, so please lead the way for us, and, what are these guys with weapons doing?"

He said, looking at the Portuguese soldiers around him.

"Your Excellency Major, they also knew that the British had invaded the Ming Dynasty, so they organized themselves and prepared to do their part to defend Macau."

Bian Du said with a smile.

"Ah, I see, you are still very loyal to Daming!"

The Major said with relief.

"Of course, it is also a gift from His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to be able to live in this land, when the Tartars invaded, we also contributed to the Ming Dynasty's defense against the Tartars, and at this time, we are also willing to contribute to the Ming Dynasty's defense against the British, after all, everything we have is given by the Ming Dynasty."

Bian Du said.

After all, Portugal at this time is already yesterday's yellow flower.

He sighed in his heart at the same time.

At this time, Portugal has long become a small European deflated three, who is qualified to talk about anything else, not to mention that even if the Portuguese government is willing to do something to defend Macau, it will have to be at least half a year later, and the Ming army will not take Macao in half a day, and if the British land here, and the two sides use Macao as a battlefield, then they are unlucky, the best choice is to let the Ming army station, and help the Ming army guard Macao to prevent the British from stepping in, so as to avoid the destruction of Macau.

As for the British......

There is nothing wrong with their behavior, this is not Portuguese territory, they are foreigners who are allowed to live in Daming, abide by the laws of Daming to provide assistance to the Ming government, even if they are put in Europe, there is no violation of any treaty, and it is impossible for the British to turn their faces with the Portuguese government for this little thing, Maria and Victoria, a young woman of the same age, have a good relationship.

Of course, that's none of the Governor of Biandu.

He only knew that if he didn't cooperate with the Ming army, he probably wouldn't see the sun tomorrow.

"Then, please lead the way!"

The major said with a smile.

"Your Excellency Major, please, as far as I know, Ma Dichen has not left Macao yet!"

Bian Du made a gesture of invitation and said earnestly.
