As far as the eye could see outside the city, there were corpses of foreigners everywhere, and they died in different ways, some were injured by common firearms, some seemed to have been crushed by heavy objects, and even the joints of the corpses were deformed, and even their bodies were burned to charcoal, their clothes had long been burned, and they were still emitting green smoke.

"It's... What's going on? "Yi? Isn't the sound of artillery just now a siege?

He looked back at the city wall, where the tall and majestic city stood silently, silently watching this qiē.

"King Yugong, this place is full of corpses of foreigners, and I haven't seen anyone else!"

Katsuho rode his horse for a lap and then returned.

When he first saw this scene, he was also surprised, he had really fought with foreigners, knowing the means of foreigners, the 30,000 elites of the monk king could not help a powerful enemy, and now he was killed and injured, if it wasn't for the Buddha's manifestation, who could have such a great ability?

"Didn't see anyone else?"

Abundant? was stunned for a moment, this sentence contains two meanings, either the person who shot suffered very little loss, and afterwards cleaned up the battlefield and dragged all the corpses away; Either there was no one else at all, only the British and French forces were infighting.

In any case, this is good news, at least it shows that foreigners will not fight the idea of Jingshi for the time being.

At this time, Chen Fuen and others rushed out, and when they saw the corpses all over the ground, they were also stunned, and then clapped their hands and praised: "It seems that Britain and France are not very harmonious, and the fight is so fierce!" It is really a blessing for the Qing Dynasty! ”

Sheng Bao frowned, a little dissatisfied with Chen Fuen's arbitrary remarks, but due to the gap in official positions, he couldn't bear to speak.

Monk Greenqin looked at the battlefield, frowned and said, "I'm afraid that things are not so simple!" ”

He rode his horse to the corpse that was crushed and broken, pointed to the two deep grinding marks next to him and said: "Look at this trace, it is neither a carriage nor a chariot, not to mention that those who can crush these people into meat paste must not only have a weight of tens of thousands of catties, but also have to act quickly, after all, these foreigners are not fools, how can they stand and look for death?" ”

Monk Lingqin came to the side of the charred corpse again, enduring the unpleasant smell: "The state of these corpses is particularly strange, as if they have been burned by fire for a day and a night, their limbs have turned into charcoal, but there is no trace of struggle, it seems that they died in an instant, what kind of firearm is this?" It's puzzling! ”

Chen Fuen only glanced at the corpse pointed by Seng Lingqin, and then felt that his stomach was tumbling, and he almost vomited, and he said forcibly: "If they didn't kill each other, why only the corpses of foreigners?" What's more, who can have such a great ability to kill so many foreigners? ”

He thought for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, this matter has nothing to do with my Qing Dynasty, but don't let foreigners mistakenly think that it is our doing, and sabotage the peace talks, then it will be a big deal!" ”

Abundant? Hearing that there were strange people who killed so many foreigners, I couldn't help but be a little fascinated, and said: "If there are really strange people doing it this time, why don't we find it, recommend it to the imperial brother, and entrust it with a heavy task, what are we afraid of foreigners doing in the future?" ”

Chen Fuen's face changed, and he exclaimed: "King Gong's words are wrong, just imagine that the confrontation between my Qing Dynasty and foreigners is not an overnight achievement, from Dagu to the capital, this battle has fought more than ten times, accumulated for several months, and did not see this person appear, and now the foreigners are coming to the city, this is the only shot, obviously not belonging to my Qing Dynasty, and the Yuanmingyuan is robbed by this person!" ”

What's more, now at the critical moment of the peace talks, he suddenly appeared again, I don't know what conspiracy he used, killing so many foreigners, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to stop! If this person can be found, he must cut off his limbs and hand them over to foreigners for processing, so that he can be in harmony with his friends, otherwise it will lead to wars, and I don't know how many Eight Banners will be scattered! ”

Saying that, he also squeezed out a few tears, looking worried about the country and the people, and the ministers behind him, led by Zhou Peizu, all echoed one after another.

Abundant? It's not stupid, how can you not know that cutting land and paying compensation is tantamount to cutting meat and feeding tigers, you are getting weaker and weaker, and foreigners are getting stronger and stronger, and in the long run, the strength of both sides is getting bigger and bigger, and I am afraid that I will not even have the strength to fight in the future.

But at present, his duty is to negotiate peace with foreigners, and his ministers are also on Chen Fuen's side, and he can only hope that one day the imperial brother can put down his posture and follow the example of foreign affairs, so as to fundamentally enrich the country and strengthen the people, and not end up dismal!

Just sighing, a team of foreign cavalry galloped over, for the first British ** officer, saw King Gong and others dismount and saluted, and then muttered a bunch of words, Gong Xiaogong, who was with him, as a translator, looked arrogant and translated: "Britain and France, in line with the mentality of friendship with the Qing Dynasty, know that the Qing Dynasty has no unscrupulous soldiers available, and they are afraid that there will be a riot in the Beijing Division, so they lead troops to the city to help maintain law and order!" ”

This cheek is also thick enough, if they hadn't attacked the Beijing division and defeated the Qing army to scatter and flee, how could the Beijing division be empty and have no soldiers to use?

He continued: "How do you know that the Qing Dynasty did not know what to do, and suddenly led troops to attack while the coalition army was resting and eating, so that the coalition army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. ”

King Gong listened to the words of the coalition army, and sure enough, someone helped him, and his heart was slightly wider, which shows that there are still strange people in the Qing Dynasty who restrain foreigners!

He was pondering how to answer, and Chen Fuen hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with my Qing Dynasty, I will definitely start the Holy Shrine on the next day, and when the investigation is clear, I will severely punish the murderer and give an explanation to the ministers of friendly countries!" ”

Gong Xiaogong ignored Chen Fuen, still looking at Yi with a provocative expression, and saw that the latter also nodded silently, and then said: "This is very good, since the Qing court intends to be friendly with friends, then we need to show some sincerity, please ask King Gong to move to Tongzhou tomorrow and reformulate the terms!" "With that, the British army went away.

King Gong had no choice but to order Qi Shangshu Chen Fuen, scholar Zhou Peizu, Gui Liang and others to Tongzhou the next day to negotiate peace.

The details of the negotiations the next day do not need to be detailed, although Zhang Yuntian's appearance dealt a heavy blow to the British and French forces, how could the Qing court ministers be frightened by the foreigners, and strongly advocated peace negotiations, and finally negotiated a compensation of 12 million taels of silver to the British, 6 million taels with France, and the first district of the Kowloon Division in eastern Guangdong to the British, and promised to catch the gangsters who sabotaged the peace talks (referring to Zhang Yuntian) and hand them over to Britain and France for processing.

Before this was over, Russia seized the opportunity to demand compensation of 2 million taels of silver and to demarcate about 400,000 square kilometers of land east of the Ussuri River (including Sakhalin Island) as its own territory, and thus the dispute provoked by the British and French forces came to an end.

Soon after, the Old Summer Palace caught fire inexplicably, burning most of it, and all the eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard died. In less than 10 days, hundreds of homes were raided, thousands were detained, and more than 200 suspects were arrested and transferred to Britain and France for execution.
