No matter whether the next Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is Manchu or Han, it is probably difficult for them to tolerate Yuan Qi, who has strong financial resources and huge power. Of course, Manchu may be even more difficult for them to tolerate. In this regard, it is easy to be content. As the saying goes, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed? If Yuan Qi does not have a group training, no matter how rich he is, he will be just a fat sheep for the court and the local officials in Guangzhou. However, having 10,000 elite group training is enough to make the court and the local officials in Guangzhou unable to sleep or eat.

Yuan Qi formed a 10,000 gang training, which can be said to be completely urged by Lin Zexu to resist the needs of the British. Now Lin Zexu knows that he is about to step down, so he wants to take advantage of his still in power to eliminate the hidden danger that Yuan Qi is forming.

Yi Jing's thoughts are turned and quickly analyzed and judged Lin Zexu's intentions. How did Yuan Qi deal with it? It was obviously two ways, either rebel or cut off his own wings.

Rebellion, when the British invasion is invaded, it will only be cheaper for the British. Moreover, it is easy to be content and has no idea of ​​rebellion at all. In Yuanqi's case, it is impossible to rebel. If you don't rebel, you can only cut your own wings.

Of course, there are two situations for self-cutting wings. One is to directly disband the Yuanqi team training, which is obviously not what Lin Zexu hopes, because he advocates negotiating with the British in Guangzhou, and it is impossible to weaken Guangzhou's defensive power. The other situation is to consume the strength of the Yuanqi team training and use the British army to greatly consume the strength of the Yuanqi team training. This may be what Lin Zexu is willing to do. After all, this can be said to be a killing of two birds with one stone, and it is also very beneficial to Lin Zexu himself.

After pondering for a moment, Yi Quest bowed slightly and said, "Although Yuanqi is large, it is scattered in various prefectures and counties in Guangdong, and it pays huge amounts of taxes and silver every year. If the successor Governor cannot tolerate Yuanqi, it is simply because Yuanqi's group training. All Yuanqi shareholders are gentry and merchants. No one would want to be suspicious of the government because of the group training. Since this is the case, it would be better to simply disband the group training."

"Justice said just now. The negotiations broke down and the British were very likely to attack Guangzhou." Lin Zexu glanced at him and said slowly: "The only ones that can effectively resist the British were the Eight Banners Green Camp and the Yuanqi Group Training. Among the three, the Yuanqi Group Training is the strongest. How can you cut your own wings when the enemy is in front of you?"

"The Master of the Ministry is asking for trouble." Yi Zhizu said, looking up at Lin Zexu and said, "If the group training is not disbanded, it is difficult to be able to succeed the Governor. If the group training is disbanded, it will weaken the power to resist the British. I am stupid and ask for advice."

Lin Zexu twisted his long beard and said with a smile: "With the wisdom of contentment, why should the Ministry of Education clearly state it?"

Yi Zhizu couldn't help but smile, and said without going around in circles, "The Yuanqi Group Training was formed by the orders of the master of the Ministry. The adults have some choice and they all follow them. However, the Yuanqi Group Training was still short, can we train for another two months?"

Lin Zexu couldn't wait. No one dared to hide the defeat in Dinghai. It would take less than half a month to receive the war report in the capital. Moreover, the British fleet would soon arrive in Tianjin. If Daoguang's decree was to come down, the Yuanqi regiment would win the battle, and it would have nothing to do with him.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "I heard from the Ministry of Education that the Confucian School in Huadi Camp told the scholars that half a year is enough to train the regiment training into elite musketeers. From February, it has been five months now. Can't we still fight?"

After a pause, he continued: "Dinghai suffered a crushing defeat, and the government and the government were shocked. At present, a big victory was urgently needed. One would dampen the British army's spirit, the second would inspire the morale of the Eight Banners Green Camp, and the third would stabilize the hearts of the people in the world. Even if we negotiate with the British in the future, the court would have some confidence and be able to strengthen the determination of the government and the government to ban smoking. Are you satisfied?"

Yi Zhizu certainly understood that if Guangzhou could win a big victory at this time, what would it mean for the Qing and the UK? Can Yuanqi team be played? The answer is yes. With his strength, he could mobilize five patrol ships on the sea. On land, there were Yuanqi team training 2,000 elites and Shunde. Together with the original one thousand yuan Qi Guarding Merchant Group, there were 5,000 elites, and there were 12 modified warships from the Guangdong Navy's Navy.

This force is certainly not good to fight head-on with the main force of the British fleet, but it is no problem to fight the six patrol ships blocking the sea surface of Guangzhou. Even if it sends troops to Dinghai and recovers Dinghai, it is not a big problem. The main force of the British army goes north and stays at Dinghai. At most, the army is left, and there are only about 3,000 people. Moreover, when fighting on land, Yuanqi's regiment training is not afraid of the British army at all.

The problem is that once this battle is fought, the entire situation will completely change. He could not predict whether the development of the situation will develop towards the good side or the bad side. In addition, in this battle, Yuan Qi's strength will be completely exposed. He is not worried about the group training, mainly because the Hainan patrol ships are difficult to explain.

After a while of silence, he said slowly: "My Lord of the Ministry understands his wishes, but he still does not advocate fighting. First, the Yuanqi team training is insufficient, and even if he fights, he is not sure of winning. Moreover, even if he wins a big victory, it will inevitably attract the main force of the British fleet to transfer the target and attack Guangzhou.

I don’t think that the Humen Fort can withstand the fierce attack of the British army. Besides, the British army can also land from other places, attack prefectures and counties around Guangzhou from land or directly attack Guangzhou. In addition, even if the British army is not progressing smoothly, they will never start or end in the face of the situation. They will mobilize a large number of reinforcements to come, and the war may be further expanded.

To be honest, we don’t need to bring disaster to Guangzhou City for a victory, nor do we need to expand the scale of this war for a victory."

What Lin Zexu said was not without reason. After pondering for a while, he said slightly: "Satisfied what he is worried about, but he said before that the fundamental interests of Britain and Geely are in Europe, and the British cannot fight to the country. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the expansion of the war. The British and English are cunning, slick, capricious, and things cannot be done. They will focus on negotiations and increase troops. This is just a common trick of British and English intimidation, so there is no need to worry about it.

As for Guangzhou’s defense, you don’t have to worry about being content. Our department will definitely write to the court, praying to mobilize the Eight Banners Green Camps of the surrounding provinces to come to Guangzhou for defense and ensure that Guangzhou is foolproof."

Hearing his words and tone, he was obviously determined to fight a battle. Yi Qunzu was speechless. He knew very well that if he could win a big victory, it would be enough to change Lin Zexu's current situation. The other party was now like a drowning person. Yuan Qi Tuanxuan was the last straw he had seized.

Moreover, Lin Zexu must believe that through this battle, the strength of the Yuanqi Group Training can be greatly consumed. Needless to say, the other party is not considering the British warships that block the sea surface, but trying to recover the Dinghai. Because of the maritime war, the Yuanqi Group Training is useless.

Since the opponent is determined to fight this battle and hopes to use this to weaken the strength of the Yuanqi Group training, it is obviously unwise for him to insist on not fighting. He may even force the opponent to take extreme actions. With Lin Zexu's personality, it is really possible to do it.

After pondering for a moment, Yi Zhizu said tentatively: "Does the Master of the Ministry want to train Yuanqi to train troops to recover Dinghai?"

Lin Zexu nodded and said, "Yes, the six military ships that the British blocked the Humen sea are all sailing fast and fast. It is impossible to win with the strength of the twelve Western warships of the navy. If you want to win a big victory, you can only recover Dinghai County. Are you sure to be content?"

Yi Zhizu dared not say he was not sure, otherwise the other party might have to find an excuse to seize the command of Yuanqi regiment. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The army is in danger and the war is dangerous, so you should not be careless. Since the master of the Ministry wants to recover Dinghai, he must make a careful plan. In addition, this battle requires the cooperation of Zhejiang Green Camp and the cooperation of the twelve Western warships of the navy."

Lin Zexu also had a temporary idea. After hearing about the fall of Dinghai, he realized that he would be dismissed soon. He was just considering how to eliminate the hidden danger of Yuanqi Group Training, and the idea suddenly appeared. He had no confidence in this matter at all. At this time, he saw Yi Zhizu, and he made a serious request to cooperate with Zhejiang Green Camp and the Navy's Western Warships.

He was a little surprised and stared at Yi Zhizu and said, "Are you able to achieve success in the process of becoming aware of Dinghai?"

Yi Zhizu did consider the possibility of regaining Dinghai yesterday, but he did not think about it carefully. After hearing his question, he realized that he had lost his words and did not deny it at the moment, saying: "I learned that Dinghai fell at dusk yesterday. I guessed that the situation of the master of the ministry was worrying, and I did consider the possibility of Yuanqi regiment training to send troops to Dinghai."

After hearing this, Lin Zexu felt aroused. This was not a casual flattery. If the other party had not considered it, he would not casually propose that the Zhejiang Green Camp and the Navy's Western warships need to cooperate, nor would he speak voluntarily about the possible reactions of the British army after a big victory. Moreover, it was reasonable. It was obvious that the other party had indeed considered the talented army Dinghai.

After calming down, he asked anxiously: "Do you have a chance of winning if you send troops to Dinghai?"

"It depends on what the situation is." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "If the British main fleet goes north to Tianjin and the Yuanqi regiment trains to recover Dinghai, it will not be too difficult. If the British fleet stationed in Dinghai, there will be no chance of victory."

After hearing this, Lin Zexu smiled and said, "How could the Master Hall do something about touching the stone with an egg? Don't worry, if the British main fleet does not leave Dinghai, there is no need to recover it. As for the cooperation between the Zhejiang Green Camp and the Navy's Western warships, there is no problem. Deng Master Hall and Guan Junmen will definitely help with all their strength. The Master Hall will send people to summon Guan Junmen to Xiguan."

"I'm going to bring the coastal defense map of the Guan Army's goalkeeper, especially the detailed map of Zhoushan area." Yi Zhizu said and added: "In addition, the Yuanqi regiment did not practice enough muskets. I must borrow the three thousand Western muskets that Yuanqi had given to Yi Yong and the navy for temporary use."

Lin Zexu chuckled and said, "I am content but I have to do my best to meet it."

After leaving the Governor's Office, Yi Zhizu was mixed with all kinds of feelings. He sent troops to Dinghai. Although Lin Zexu was forced to force him, he was actually a little moved. To be honest, he really hoped that Lin Zexu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, could be more than a few more years. Besides, the Yuanqi regiment trained and sent troops to recover Dinghai. The court should have a good impression of the Yuanqi regiment trained and would not be too forced in the future. He would be afraid of Yuanqi sooner or later.

Furthermore, he was a little excited and excited, and he also had some expectations. Yuan Qi sent troops to Dinghai, which would undoubtedly change the current situation and may not be able to change the end of the Raven War, but it would leave a brilliant stroke, which would always make the court and the people excited and refreshed.

Li Wang brought the sedan chair to greet him, and when he got on the sedan chair, he asked respectfully: "Young Master, where are you going?"

"Go to Henan." Yi Zhizu said as he leaned back and sent troops to Dinghai on the cushion. Lin Zexu thought it was simple, but there were too many things involved. He had to carefully consider the arrangement of troops, weapons, ammunition reserves, food and supplies, routes of troops, intelligence transmission, etc., and the Yuanqi regiment trained Chu Xiu, could not be messed up.

After receiving the letter, Guan Tianpei did not delay at all. He immediately stood up and rushed to the Governor's Office when it was dark. He heard that several British warships had dispersed more than 1,500 water and land defenders within two incense sticks and captured Dinghai. He could not speak for a long time. The British army's combat power was really shocked and worried. Although the defense of Humen had more than doubled, he was afraid that he could not stop the British army's attack.

Seeing him dazed intently, Lin Zexu knew what he was thinking. He sipped a few sips of tea slowly before saying slowly: "Zhong is not too worried, the British are heading north, and at least half a year, there is enough time to strengthen the defense of Humen." After a pause, he continued: "I discussed with the minister in the morning and prepared to order the Yuan regiment to train troops to recover Dinghai."

Guan Tianpei said in a lost voice: "The Yuanqi regiment trained troops to recover Dinghai?"

Lin Zexu said first: "Shizu has agreed."

Guan Tianpei's bronze eyes were wide open, and he said in disbelief: "Yi Zhizu agrees? Can those team players in Yuanqi fight against the British?"

"Zhongyin, don't underestimate the Yuanqi regiment training." Lin Ze said slowly: "Although I have not visited the regiment training camp, I have heard of the training situation of the Huadi camp. The Yuanqi regiment imitates the Western military training method, has strict orders and strict military disciplines. It can be said to be well-trained, and is equipped with Western muskets. In terms of combat power, it is probably worse than the Eight Banners Green Camp."

Guan Tianpei naturally heard about the training situation of Yuanqi's regiment training, and wanted to observe it for a long time. However, considering that the establishment of Yuanqi's regiment training was not long, he was still preparing to wait until the training was almost done. Unexpectedly, after only four or five months of training, he actually went out to save the Dinghai occupied by the British. This was something he could not accept anyway. What happened to Yishizu's boy? There were times when he was confused. He thought that this might be what Lin Zexu meant.

After looking at Lin Zexu, he hesitated and said, "Mr. Master, can you make a long-term plan for this matter?"
