Chapter 282: The Eight-Nation Alliance Enters Tianjin [Ask for Subscription]
Wang Tian gave a thumbs up and said, "Amazing, this efficiency, tsk...... Much sooner than I thought. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Okay, don't praise me, Heavenly King, the people of the Eight-Nation Alliance are about to arrive in Tianjin. I've heard that there are quite a few enemies this time. Yang Lu Zen said.
Wang Tian asked, "How many?"
"It's hard to say the exact number, but I have received information that this time the team was led by the British admiral Seymour, and the total number of people at the beginning was about 30,000, and then it increased, and I don't know how much it increased. Among them, the eight countries and the island countries sent the largest number of troops, as high as 20,000 troops! The remaining British, Russian, French, American, Italian, German, and Austro-Hungarian empires sent less than 10,000 people. Among them, Austria-Hungary only symbolically sent more than 80 people. Yang Lu Zen said.
When Wang Tian heard that so many people had been sent by the island country, a chill suddenly flashed in his eyes! In the past, he only remembered the war of aggression against China during World War II, but he almost forgot that among the Eight-Nation Alliance, these people were also the main force in the invasion of China. And once the island country prospers, it will bring pain to Huaxia, and this wound is getting bigger and bigger! Thinking of this, Wang Tiandao said: "Brother Yang, this island country will inevitably be a great disaster for China in the future, I don't care about anything else, if I have the opportunity, destroy them!"
Yang Luchan obeyed Wang Tian's words, and since Wang Tian spoke, he naturally agreed.
Yang Luchan talked a lot about the situation of the battle, and Wang Tian, who listened to it, fell asleep, simply shouted to stop and went back to his room to sleep.
In the next few days, the wind and waves were calm, but the entire sky over Tianjin City was filled with a solemn atmosphere, a feeling of wind and rain was about to make people's hearts dull at the same time, there was also a sense of war in the chest, just waiting for a gap to appear, spraying out, crushing all enemies.
On September 16, 1825, Wang Tian came to the twelfth day of 1825, and the weather was fine!
A huge fleet of sixty warships on the sea slowly rose from the end of the sky, and at the bow, a man dressed in British aristocratic clothing, with one foot on the side of the ship, and a gold-cast telescope in the other, looked into the distance, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and said, "Tianjin, it's finally coming." ”
"General Seymour, Tianjin is the gateway of the Qing Dynasty, as long as you open him, you will point directly to the capital. A man behind him said with a gloomy face. This person is none other than Pierce, who got out of the capital.
Seymour nodded and said, "Yes, when I break the gate of the capital, I will ask the dog emperor to kneel down and apologize to you! I want him to understand that even if it is a pig in my British Empire, it is not something he can insult at will!"
When Pierce heard this, his face immediately darkened, was he scolding him? Unfortunately, even if he scolded him, he had to endure it, Seymour was not something he could provoke.
Pierce squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you, General Seymour." ”
Seymour waved his hand, "You're welcome, Mr. Pierce. ”
The adjutant general on the side said in a low voice: "General Seymour, along the way, the Qing government's resistance is very weak. With our strength and strength, we can choose a port to fight at will, why bother with such a big circle. After several days of delay, it is likely that the Qing government has already deployed heavy troops to guard Tianjin, and when the time comes, it will ......"
Seymour laughed and said, "Mr. Fries, you still don't know about this mediocre, backward but rich country, this is a big fat pig lying on top of infinite wealth, or the kind of fat that can't walk!" Speaking of this, Seymour made a very fat gesture, which amused everyone.
Seymour continued: "And we, the lions with sharp claws. Even if it knows we're coming, it's still going to die!"
"General Seymour, I think it's better not to underestimate the enemy. "Fries is clearly an old-fashioned person.
Seymour shook his head and said: "Of course, our spies have already entered Tianjin City, and according to the spies' report, the Governor of Tianjin is a waste." His predecessor had been paid for three years, and the local soldiers had long complained. And the new governor of Zhili was not a Manchu, but a Han Chinese. The Qing government was very protective of his embankment, and did not allocate funds to him at all, and he even issued military salaries. He lived in the forest outside the city with his army, stuffed some artillery battles into barrels all day to make noise, and announced that they were practicing artillery! Haha...... It's ridiculous......"
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
Pierce hurriedly patted his ass and said: "They are indeed very weak militarily, and when we went, the soldiers we saw along the way still used big swords and spears. These people are a bunch of impudent natives, as long as our strong ships come close to us, and they will be shot. I promise their soldiers will run back to the bed with their heads in their hands and shout to God!"
"Haha......"
The crowd laughed again.
Just then, a soldier came running up and said, "Mr. Seymour, you are about to get close to the range and ask for further instructions." ”
Seymour looked at the mainland in front of him and said lightly: "Then what are you waiting for, all the ships will load me with ammunition, and the target will be Tianjin Port! Bomb me! Let the Russians and islanders on the road immediately carry out a sneak attack on the Dagu Fort! Take the Dagukou Fort, this Tianjin Port is the woman who has stripped off her clothes, and the rest is not up to us?"
"Haha......" the crowd laughed again.
Not long after, a burst of artillery rang out, and one after another shells thundered into the port of Tianjin.
Almost at the same time, at the foot of Dagukou Fort, two groups of people raised their heads at the same time!
"Mr. Kishimoto, let's go!" a Russian jumped up and roared, and a group of more than two hundred Russians, armed with flintlock pistols, rushed out and rushed up the hill.
Seeing this, Kishimoto, a native of the island country, scolded: "Yaga! For the sake of the emperor, rush forward!"
Hula, the people of the island country do not look like Russians, the Russians are close to the boundaries of the Qing Dynasty and are very conspicuous. If there are many of them, they are easy to be exposed, so not many people come. But the island people are different, they are all yellow-skinned and black-eyed, although they are a little shorter, but it is relatively easy to pretend. Therefore, Kishimoto's shout rushed out more than 1,000 people!
With the shouting of killing, on the Dagukou Fort, Wang Tian and Yang Luchan, who were playing chess, laughed at the same time.
Wang Tiandao: "These guys are really not afraid of death. ”
Yang Lu said: "They don't know what awaits them on this at all. Heaven, let those ships bomb the port like this? Anyway, it's also our port, and if it's blown up, it's money. ”
Wang Tian shook his head and said, "It's indeed money, but the harder you blow up, the more you earn." (To be continued.) )
