Chapter 764: Emptying the Old Summer Palace
In Haiyan Hall, at the request of Wen Feng, Tang Dou demonstrated to Wen Feng the magical technology from the future, Wen Feng no longer had a trace of doubt about what Tang Dou said, but after Wen Feng once again confirmed the fact that the Qing Dynasty was about to fall, he hugged Ren Liang, the leader of the Eight Rank Skill Yong eunuchs, and cried.

Tang Dou sighed, stood up and said to Wen Feng and Ren Liang: "If it weren't for Lord Wen's still some integrity, maybe I wouldn't have come back after taking away those three zodiac beast heads." According to historical records, Concubine Chang should still live in the Old Summer Palace, right? Tomorrow evening, the Anglo-French army will attack here, and you should quickly protect Concubine Chang and flee to the summer resort, otherwise you will all die of martyrdom. The bandits will sack the Old Summer Palace, and on October 18, the British will set fire to the Three Mountains and Five Gardens in western Beijing, at which point it will be a scorched earth. ”
The three mountains and five gardens in western Beijing are Wanshou Mountain, Yuquan Mountain, Xiangshan, Qingyi Garden, Old Summer Palace, Changchun Garden, Jingming Garden, Jingyi Garden, these eight royal gardens were destroyed under a fire of the British and French forces, and later generations covered the Old Summer Palace by burning the Old Summer Palace, in fact, the British and French forces in order to cover up their crazy plundering crimes, the burning place is much larger than a Yuanmingyuan.
The fire burned for three days and three nights without being extinguished, and the smoke enveloped the entire capital.
Hearing Tang Dou say that they would all die of martyrdom, and the British and French troops would set fire to the three mountains and five gardens, Wen Feng and Ren Liang lost their blood on their faces.
Wen Feng stood stunned for a moment, and suddenly knelt down to Tang Dou: "This lord, since you are from the future, you must have a way to help Daqing avoid this catastrophe." The old minister begged for my lord's help to help me expel the foreign captives. ”
Tang Dou looked at Wen Feng with a wry smile and said: "Lord Wen, I am not an immortal, the British and French forces are menacing, even Monk Lingqin can't stop them, what can I do to expel them." ”
Tang Dou was not unable to help the Qing government expel the foreign captives, but if he did, it would not be now, but to travel back a few dynasties ago to fundamentally reverse the relationship between the Manchus and the foreign powers, make the Manchus strong, and keep those foreign powers out of the country directly.
But then again, why did Tang Dou help the Manchus? If he really wanted to meddle in changing history, he would go directly to Emperor Chongzhen, the great-grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, and directly order him to give Wu Sangui a knife first, which would save the Manchurian Tartars from harming the Central Plains for so many years.
If that were the case, the Ten Days of Yangzhou, the Three Massacres of Jiading, and the Jiangyin Massacre would not have happened, nor would the massacre of Guangzhou, Suzhou, Nanchang, Jiangyin, Kunshan, Jiaxing, Haining, Suzhou, and Datong.
The Qing army entered the customs and burned for 37 years, and when it resisted, it would burn its houses, kill its people, and take its belongings, so that the soldiers were full of what they wanted.
In the 37 years, the Chinese population dropped sharply from 51.65 million in the third year of the Tomorrow Dynasty to 19.08 million in the 17th year of Shunzhi, a total decrease of 32.57 million, and all the prosperous metropolises in the Central Plains were destroyed by the Qing army.
So, why did Tang Dou help the Manchurian Tatars?
Hearing Tang Dou's categorical refusal, Wen Feng prostrate at Tang Dou's feet, hugged Tang Dou's legs with tears in his eyes, looked up at Tang Dou and pleaded: "My lord, the old minister begs you, you must have a way to keep my Qing Dynasty, the old minister is here to kowtow to the lord on behalf of the ancestors." ”
After that, Wen Feng really slammed his head, and within two clicks, his forehead was already splashed with blood.
Tang Dou couldn't bear to see such an old man kowtowing to him, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Wen Feng, and said with a straight face: "Lord Wen, your request is too much. I can tell you to leave the Old Summer Palace immediately and avoid the scourge of killing, this is already the limit I can help you. If you make this unreasonable demand again, I will fly away immediately, and I will never care about your business again. ”
Wen Feng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly cried bitterly.
He also knew that the edifice was about to fall, and that no one could lift it up.
In fact, Wen Feng really underestimated Tang Dou, or he didn't expect that Tang Dou could travel to any time at will and fundamentally change the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
Tang Dou sighed, stretched out his hand to help Wen Feng up, and said to Wen Feng: "The words have come to this, you quickly pack up your things to protect Concubine Chang and flee to the summer resort." Tomorrow evening, the British and French troops will be killed in the Old Summer Palace, and if you are late, maybe there will be some danger to you. Okay, it's time for me to go back too. ”
After that, Tang Dou was about to start the crossing ring and fly back.
At this time, Wen Feng suddenly grabbed Tang Dou: "Adult, slow down." ”
Tang Dou stopped his hand, looked at Wen Feng and said, "What else is the matter with Lord Wen?" ”
The corners of Wen Feng's eyes twitched a few times, and he turned to Ren Liang, the leader of the eight-rank skilled eunuchs on the side, and said, "Ren Liang, I order you to immediately lead everyone to protect Concubine Chang to the summer resort." ”
Ren Liang paused for a moment, looked at Wen Feng and asked, "Lord Wen, what about you?" ”
Wen Feng suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Lafayette appointed the old minister as the governor of the Old Summer Palace, as long as the Old Summer Palace is not lost for a day, the old minister will not leave the Old Summer Palace half a step, the Old Summer Palace is here, the old minister is here, the Old Summer Palace is dead, the old minister is dead." ”
When Ren Liang heard this, he knelt down at Wen Feng with tears in his eyes.
Tang Dou on the side sighed softly, if it weren't for Wen Feng's temperament, I'm afraid he wouldn't have crossed over to persuade Wen Feng to flee for his life.
Now that Wen Feng has shown his integrity, Tang Dou knows that he can't persuade him, what is left in the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood, what body is the capital of the revolution, I am afraid that these Wen Feng will not listen to it at all, at Wenfeng's age, it is probably his greatest long-cherished wish to be loyal to the country.
Ren Liang worshiped Wen Feng, stood up and wiped a handful of tears, and said to Wen Feng: "Lord Wen, the slave will arrange someone to escort Concubine Chang to the summer resort, and the slave will stay with Lord Wen to guard the Old Summer Palace." ”
Wen Feng was moved to take Ren Liang's hand, and sighed: "Ren Liang, why are you doing this? ”
Ren Liang laughed: "Lord Wen, the slave is the leader of the Eight Skilled Eunuchs of the Old Summer Palace, responsible for protecting the safety of the Old Summer Palace, before Lafayette orders the evacuation of the Old Summer Palace, how can the slave abandon the Old Summer Palace?!" ”
As he spoke, Ren Liang took out the short musket on his waist, waved it vigorously, and said with an angry expression: "With this gun, if those robbers want to rush into the Old Summer Palace, I will definitely make them pay the price of blood." ”
Ren Liang's voice was sharp, although it was indescribably awkward to listen to in his ears, but at this moment, Tang Dou not only did not have a trace of disgust, but had a kind of passionate sadness.
Tang Dou sighed silently, he glanced at the short musket that Ren Liang was wielding, silently took off the two hanging grenades from his chest and put them in Ren Liang's hands, and said to Ren Liang: "This thing is called a grenade, after opening this ring, it can be delayed for a few seconds before exploding, although the power is not as good as the cannons of your era, but it is not much different, and it can hit the enemy hard." ”
Ren Liang looked at the grenade that Tang Dou stuffed into his hand in surprise, he really couldn't believe that the power of such a small thing could be comparable to a cannon.
Tang Dou sighed, stuffed the mp5 in his hand into Ren Liang's hand, patted his hand and said: "This is a submachine gun, there are thirty rounds of ammunition in the magazine, you can fire continuously after opening the safe, and these two magazines are also given to you, I hope these weapons can help you some." You don't have to......"
Tang Dou weakly persuaded the two of them to say a few words, and in the face of the stubborn two, he shook his head slightly, and demonstrated the use of grenades and mp5 to Ren Liang in detail.
No matter what kind of anti-era he has, he has been against the times more than once, and the times are still moving forward according to his own trajectory?
Since Wen Feng and Ren Liang have the intention to martyr the country, they will let their deaths be worthwhile, and they will die vigorously.
After all the explanations were finished, Ren Liang carried the advanced weapons given to him by Tang Dou, and strode down to arrange for someone to escort Concubine Chang away.
Tang Dou said goodbye to Wen Feng again, he didn't want to witness such a tragic moment with his own eyes.
Hearing Tang Dou's resignation again, Wen Feng grabbed Tang Dou again, he looked at Tang Dou and said earnestly: "My lord, the old minister asks you to take the remaining zodiac beast heads with you." If you take it away, at least the things are still in our own hands, and they can be passed on, if they are snatched away by those foreigners, our descendants will never see them. ”
Tang Dou's heart was moved, he patted Wen Feng's hand and said: "Lord Wen, the three beast heads I chose to take away were not found in the future generations, and the other beast capitals have already been found, I will find a way to collect them all, and then send them back to the Old Summer Palace to restore their original appearance." ”
Wen Feng suddenly realized, no wonder Tang Dou was selective when stealing these beast heads, so it was.
Wen Feng took Tang Dou's hand without the slightest intention of relaxing, he looked at Tang Dou and said, "My lord, please come with me." ”
Tang Dou raised his eyebrows, he had already vaguely guessed what Wen Feng was going to pull him to do.
Sure enough, Wen Feng took Tang Dou straight into the main hall in Haiyan Hall, pointed to the items in the hall and said: "There are four pairs of purple gold incense burners, four Panlong fans, eight foreign tribute Western clocks and watches, and there are also a set of Lafayette's favorite rare treasure Jade Mountain and a set of Yunshan pen holders in the cabinet study...... My lord, in the Houhu Bitong Academy, Lafayette also opened another treasure pavilion, which has more than 100,000 pieces of various treasures. In addition, there are a large number of rare treasures displayed in Zhengda Guangming Palace, Yangxin Palace, Kyushu Qingyan, Changchun Immortal Hall, Shangxia Tianguang, Xinghua Spring Hall, Anyou Palace and other places. The old minister is bold, please take all these treasures away and protect them, and don't let them fall into the hands of foreign devils. ”
Tang Dou swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The lost treasures of the Old Summer Palace are innumerable, and he only has less than a day left, even if he is exhausted, it is impossible to empty the Old Summer Palace...... (To be continued.) )
