However, in order to get first-hand news, naturally only on the front line can only get it, so Jiang Huanwu immediately organized a group of reporters to follow Qin Zheng and his party to Beijing for an interview. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the members of the press corps are still the six people who negotiated in Shanghai, the team leader is Lin Mu, text reporters Wen Xiaohua and He Wenjing, photography assistant Yang Zhichao, two foreigners, Mexican-American Davidotte, and French female reporter Charnice Stine.

Due to the continuous increase in the circulation of the [New China Daily], the great increase in its influence, and its outstanding achievements, the status of the entire newspaper has also risen in a straight line, and the press corps is naturally full of confidence, and it does not look cautious when it went to Shanghai to negotiate, but one by one it holds its head high and strides forward, so that it looks like a bit of a media person.

They are two foreigners in the press corps, they have never been to China in the old time and space, and when they travel, it is when China is developing and its international influence is increasing, so they are full of yearning for this ancient oriental country, and if nothing happens in the crossing, they will also plan a trip to China. In the old time and space, this is the four ancient palaces in the world with the Palace of Versailles in France, Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, and the Kremlin in Russia, and it is recognized that the Forbidden City of China is the first of the four ancient palaces, which is naturally very exciting.

Since working in the newspaper, several foreigners have quickly entered the state of work, and in the old time and space, they are all moving around, living in no fixed place, and the ability to adapt to the living environment is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and now they have a job, so they quickly adapt to the life of this era, and find that the life of this era is actually very good, the air is fresher, the sky is bluer, The water is clearer, there are no towering buildings in the city, no flat avenues that extend in all directions, no dazzling and colorful neon lights, and no advertising on the paved ground, everything is still the original natural and simple appearance. Of course, there is no electricity, no internet, but this is not unacceptable for these journalists who worked in the freelance media in the old time and space.

Coming to Tiananmen Square, the two foreigners are the most excited, although they have not yet entered the palace, from the Tiananmen Square tall and majestic, magnificent momentum can be imagined, by this city gate through the palace, will be how large-scale, gorgeous. It's exciting to think about. Therefore, the two men immediately took out their cameras and took a fierce picture of Tiananmen Square.

Lin Mu hurriedly greeted the two of them, followed the large army into the palace, and did not act privately. Seeing other traversers, they also took out their mobile phones, tablets, and cameras to take pictures and videos.

Qin Zheng beckoned everyone: "Don't be busy taking pictures first, the whole city of Beijing is ours now, and there will be opportunities in the future, let's go to the palace first." ”

After everyone listened, they also put away all kinds of electronic equipment, and the large army passed through Tiananmen Square and came to the palace, and Zhu Yaping and *** immediately arranged personnel to beckon the traveler and his entourage to the room to rest, and the army was temporarily stationed in the square in front of the Taihe Palace.

Qin Zheng immediately gathered key personnel to hold a meeting to discuss Beijing's affairs and follow-up plans.

According to the continuous statistics last night, a total of 6,573 people were killed and 3,721 prisoners were taken prisoner in this battle, including 8 general-level officers and 47 colonel-level officers. Lieutenant General Gaisley, French Commander Major General Frey, Italian Commander Winchezzo?? Senior Colonel Garioni, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army was the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, Johannes?? Feng?? Major General Tehap, Commander of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Sochen Yamaguchi, Commander of the Russian Army?? Lieutenant General Alekseev. The Eight-Nation Coalition that fled from Beijing numbered about 3,000 people. 6,740 rifles, 21 machine guns, 16 artillery pieces, and more than 56,000 rounds of ammunition were captured.

In addition, 612 war horses were also captured, the original eight-nation coalition army was mainly infantry, only in the Russian army there was a cavalry army, about 600 people, in the front battle, the cavalry did not participate in the battle, so it was basically intact, the People's Army captured Beijing, the Russian army did not have time to dispatch the cavalry, so the war horses all became the trophies of the People's Army, the quality of this batch of war horses is good, basically three hippos, there are also a small number of Heton horses and Mongolian horses, and with this batch of war horses, the People's Army can almost organize two cavalry battalions.

In addition to war horses, there are more than 700 donkeys, mules and other livestock, more than 500 vehicles of various kinds, and about 165,000 kilograms of grain.

On the KPA side, 476 soldiers were killed and 632 wounded, of whom about 150 were seriously wounded, and the overall battle was reduced by about 600 men. The traverser also lost 11 people, including 8 special forces, and the other three were company-level officers of the People's Army.

Judging from the results of the battle, whether it was the number of killed, captured, or the materials captured, this battle of course achieved very brilliant results, and this battle also completely crossed the Eight-Nation Alliance, although more than 3,000 Eight-Nation Coalition troops escaped from Beijing, but as a whole, the Eight-Nation Alliance Army no longer exists. At the same time, the People's Army occupied the city of Beijing, so that the crossing group also took full control of the situation in northern China. However, the current situation is still not optimistic, because the Russian army that invaded the northeast will move south, and before the Russian army is defeated, the crossing group will still no longer be able to take the initiative in negotiations with other countries.

In addition, as a result of the war, there was a brief period of chaos in order in Beijing, resulting in five churches being impacted, two churches, and more than 20 houses burned down, and more than 300 residents died.

In the end, Zhu Yaping also reported to Qin Zheng that Li Zhuangyong had disobeyed military discipline, killed surrendered soldiers, and caused the death of seven People's Army soldiers.

Originally, there was no need to report Li Zhuangyong's disciplinary violations to Qin Zheng, but Li Zhuangyong was a soldier in the first battalion, and the relationship between Luo Yue, the commander of the first battalion, and Qin Zheng was not a secret.

Qin Zheng didn't say anything after hearing this, after all, the consequences of Li Zhuangyong's disciplinary violations were too serious, causing the death of 7 soldiers, and it was not too much to shoot him directly, so the punishment given to him was definitely not excessive, and Luo Yue was not implicated, in fact, Luo Yue is now the battalion commander, and his subordinates are in charge of hundreds of people, and it is impossible to be responsible for the negligence of an ordinary squad leader.

After listening to the report on the results of the battle, Qin Zheng first gave a report to the first regiment, the second regiment, The performance of the five regiments was praised, after all, this was a big victory, and then it was decided to make a distribution of the current military personnel arrangement, because now there are five regiments concentrated in Beijing, with a total strength of about 12,000 people, plus the accompanying administrative personnel, a total of more than 13,000 people, so many personnel naturally can not all live in the palace, not to say that the palace can not live, but all the personnel live in the palace, there are also many inconveniences, not to mention that there are many treasures and a large number of palace maids in the palace, after all, the People's Army has not been established for a long time, in the face of these temptations, it is inevitable that some people will not be able to hold on. Moreover, the distribution of troops and personnel is also conducive to the control of the city of Beijing.

Of course, the People's Army will not all evacuate the palace, the People's Army is located in the palace, which can show the contempt of the traveler for the imperial power of the Qing court, can dilute the awe of the local soldiers of the People's Army for the imperial power, and also put pressure on the Qing court, the traveler is quite dissatisfied with the Qing court's intention to sign a separate treaty with various countries to cede land and pay reparations during the negotiations in Shanghai, so they also take this opportunity to demonstrate to the Qing court, after all, in this era, the imperial power still has a huge power, and as a symbol of the imperial power, the imperial palace also has extraordinary significance。

The People's Army occupies the palace and sets up a headquarters in the palace, and if the Qing court learns about it, it will definitely be frightened, because the travelers are different from the Eight-Nation Alliance, they regard themselves as descendants of China, so the Qing court will naturally think about whether the overseas Chinese will plan to establish a dynasty in Beijing and build a palace on the pedestal? In this way, the Qing court can be forced to accept the conditions of the travelers.

Qin Zheng decided to divide the palace into two parts, with the Baohe Hall as the boundary, the front part as the headquarters of the People's Army, including the three major halls of the palace, of which the Taihe Hall is the command center, and the Zhonghe Hall is the conference room, Qin Zheng's office is located in the Hongyi Pavilion on the left side of the Taihe Palace, which is also the office area of the military department, and the civil affairs office area is located in the Tiren Pavilion on the right. The rest of the place was used as a dormitory, and a regiment was stationed at the palace.

The later part of the Baohe Hall was handed over to the eunuchs and maids in the palace to manage, and the People's Army only regularly sent troops to patrol and guard, and no one was allowed to enter at will without an order from the military department.

The 2nd and 5th Regiments were stationed at the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of the First Heaven, both of which were located in the outer city of Beijing. The 6th Regiment was responsible for guarding the 13 outer gates of Beijing, each with two platoons, while the 9th Regiment was responsible for guarding the three inner gates and assisting the Ministry of Civil Affairs in maintaining order in the city. The managers of the traversers all lived in the Shejitan and Taimiao outside the noon gate, and the local managers lived in the six yamen in the southeast corner of the palace.

At the same time, Qin Zheng authorized Li Songchen to immediately set up a Beijing Provisional Management Committee to be responsible for managing all affairs in Beijing.
