Guoxing'a has been struggling, and the chief general of the defense of the Beijing Division left by Xianfeng failed to block the advance of the coalition army, but blocked the strongest reinforcements. As soon as Guo Xing'a remembered that he had a boss like Katsuho on his head, he was afraid, and he looked at the Jingshi and retreated, and the coalition forces once again mastered the rhythm of the war.

The coalition army waited for a day for Guoxing'a, but did not even wait for a shadow, and Montauban, who was relatively short of time, could not wait, and launched a tentative attack on the remnants of Seng Lingqin and Ruilin. These two troops have long been frightened birds, the cavalry of Seng Lingqin is so hungry that they are almost out of strength, and Ruilin's green battalion soldiers have no combat effectiveness, so they are naturally about to collapse at the first touch. Monk Lingqin did not practice his bold words, and once again chose to stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, and he was not slower than Ruilin at all. The coalition's attack went very smoothly, and if it weren't for the fear of the ghost troops behind them, Montauban would have had the heart to attack the city directly.

After the Qing army outside the city was cleared, both sides were a little embarrassed, and in the face of the majestic Beijing City, the coalition forces in the rear did not dare to attack at all. And a generation of famous generals Shengbao chose to be motionless and quiet, and honestly squatted in Beijing. With a twenty-fold advantage in troops, he still did not move like an old monk in a fixed position. When Prince Gong Yixin saw clearly and understood, the battle between Andingmen and Deshengmen was together, and he ran quickly to Wanshou Temple, and then slipped directly into the Old Summer Palace. Fortunately, there is still Hengqi, otherwise both sides don't know how to end.

"You must unconditionally release our kidnapped diplomats! Everything else will have to wait until these innocent diplomats are released! "Erjin, who has already arrived from Tianjin, has nothing to talk to Hengqi about except for important people.

Hengqi, who was given an eviction order, could only be like a microphone and brought the original words to Prince Gong Yixin. The mysterious troops who had delayed the coalition for twenty days were gone, Shengbao obviously couldn't count on it, and Xianfeng's will was also to sue for peace, and Yixin had to release Pashali and others.

Of course, Yi Xin also had to look at the direction of the wind, and did not hand over everyone at once, first releasing Shabali, Rocky, and the Sikh cavalry Narsin and others. After a day, there was no movement, and the foreign devils pressed harder and harder, so they could only release the remaining hostages again, and return some of the corpses that could still be put together. It's good that he doesn't want to let go, this release can cause a monstrous disaster, and the entire high-level of the coalition army, looking at the thin skeleton Pasha Li, is completely overturned, and they want to settle accounts with Emperor Xianfeng. The allied forces counted in detail the tragedy they brought back, 26 British prisoners, including 13 survivors and 13 killed; Thirteen French soldiers were captured, six survived and seven were killed. In less than two months, all of these tragedies were tortured to death in the Qing Dynasty.

"These barbarians, this is a naked act of barbarism, this crime is heinous, and we must treat it severely, not for revenge, but for future security." Ergin was furious, and of course he had a lot of private goods here. In order for him to be able to surrender to the parliament after his return, he had been trying to persuade the army to capture Beijing, but neither Lieutenant General Mitchell nor Montauban of the French army supported his opinion, and he could only pull Pasha Li out to talk about it.

"Oh God! What have you all been through? Gro deliberately diverted the topic and asked about the details of Pashali's capture, he didn't want Ergin to make a big deal out of it. Elgin was under tremendous pressure from the British Parliament, and he was always trying to magnify things infinitely, so as not only to preserve his power, but also to gain greater power. But this is not in the interests of the French, they do not want to make a big deal in the far East, although they expect to make profits, but they do not have much capital to invest.

"They are either human beings or a group of demons, and we have been subjected to endless torture until the emperor fled." Pashali was already very thin, but now he is even thinner like a skeleton.

"They put heavy wooden shackles over each of my heads, and their hands and heads were immobilized and unable to move. Heavy chains were put around our necks, so we had to keep our heads down at all times, and our feet were locked with heavy iron shackles, so that we could not move freely. During the interrogation, the shackles and chains would be removed, but they would tie us with ropes, which were so tightly clamped that most of our hands were swollen to twice the size of their usual size. Interrogations took place day and night, and even in the middle of the night, we were often dragged to the interrogation site. We have been subjected to unimaginable abuse, punishments of all kinds, unheard of before. They nailed bamboo sticks to our fingernails, poured chili pepper water from our noses, clamped our legs with two wooden sticks, or a dozen bamboo sticks between our fingers, and scalded our skin with red-hot iron blocks. The most common was whipping, where they would tie us to a wooden torture rack and whip us, or even a few people holding down the poor guy and whipping him in the lower body. The really skinny Shabali talked about what happened to his group, and he lived in hell for nearly two months.

"It's so cruel! These damn guys! Montauban sighed casually, he was more concerned about the whereabouts of the shadow troops behind him.

"One day in October! I can't remember! Our situation began to improve, probably because Emperor Xianfeng had fled, and the young Prince Gong wanted to use us to negotiate, so we were treated with special treatment. "Shabali is honest, he was not tortured for a long time, if he had been tortured for two months, he would have died long ago.

"Thank God, after such a tragic encounter, you can come back safely!" Mitchell of Britain also expressed his condolences to this suffering fellow.

"Alas! Not everyone is so lucky. The barbarian Chinese seem to be very sensitive to the matter of bowing, so when we rest, we also have to accept a terrible punishment. They tied our hands behind our backs with thin twine, forcing us to kneel on the ground all the time, and some people poured water on the twine from time to time so that our wrists could be tighter when the rope dried. They were strangled like this for several days, and the wounds on their hands and wrists began to suppurate, necrosis, maggots, and their knees became numb. Lieutenant Anderson soon became delirious and died on the ninth day, and five days later, a Sikh soldier died as well. Nineteen days later, after all kinds of torture, Mr. Norman was curled up in a corner of a courtyard, beheaded, his head thrown aside at random, and soon full of maggots. Those hateful insects kept crawling between his teeth, his ears, and his eye sockets, and it was like hell. It wasn't long before Mr. Bobby, a special correspondent for The Times, was tied up and thrown into the sewers, where he soon suffocated to death. His body was also covered with maggots, and it took three days before he was tied to a pole and thrown outside the prison walls, where it was eaten by wild dogs and pigs. There was also a Frenchman with wounds on his head and hands, and his ears, nose, and mouth were covered with maggots, but he was still alive. It's just that his face is no longer perceptible, and his hands are still tied, and he never knows what is happening on his face. Every time I saw his face, I felt like I was in a horrible nightmare. And Lotur's condition is also horrible, covered with lice, wounded everywhere, and barely able to walk. There are still traces of abuse on both wrists, and it is estimated that the hands have not been able to move for months, and the muscles have atrophied and paralyzed. The whole person is emaciated, and he looks painful, which is very sympathetic! Pasha recounted the horrors of his entire group, and in great detail, he was a loyal supporter of Ergin, and he now wanted to take revenge on the Qing emperor.

"Damn Tatars, these barbaric fellows must be punished! We will take their capital, destroy everything here, and overthrow their dynasty! Ergin took advantage of the atmosphere created by the Pasha rite and jumped out again and shouted.

"After overthrowing their rule! How our treaty should be fulfilled! We can't occupy this place, we need them to complete the reparations to us and ensure the implementation of our treaty! Gro felt that Erjin was a little crazy, even if they could kill Xianfeng, they would not be able to rule China, it would be better to let Xianfeng lose money.

"We can support the rebels in Nanjing, we can hand over China to them, and they can fulfill the treaty as well!" Ergin threw out his ultimate move, and he wanted to support Hong Xiuquan.

"O my God! The Nanjing side did not agree to our treaty, and they were even more arrogant and ignorant than the Beijing government. At the same time I have to remind you that heretics, although they are hateful, are still better than heretics! "Gro would never agree to support the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Nanking, and few people in the whole of France would support such a bizarre act. Almost everyone present, except for the bitter and vengeful Pashali, supported Gro's idea.

"Even if we don't support the Nanjing government, we have to act. Considering the issue in all its aspects, we must not ignore the crimes we have endured without actual punishment. We must do even greater harm to the Qing emperor, not only to shake his majesty, but also to sting his feelings. The punishment was not directed against the Chinese, they were innocent, and the punishment was entirely against the Manchu emperor, who could not escape direct responsibility for his crimes. Not only because of the atrocities he committed against prisoners in the Old Summer Palace, but also because he had issued a decree to offer a reward for the heads of foreigners, and declared that he would reward these killers with all his wealth. Seeing that the personnel of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were too poor, Erjin also hurriedly turned the rudder.

In view of the fact that Xianfeng cleaned up Pa Xiali and his party too badly, everyone in the coalition army was furious, and the high-level also decided to launch a new round of attacks against the Qing army. The Anglo-French army moved from the Yellow Temple and the Black Market to the northwest, and the front of the troops pointed directly at the Old Summer Palace. Prince Gong, Yixin, Gui Liang and others, who originally planned to sit in the Old Summer Palace, could only flee to Changxindian in a hurry. After the two departments of Seng Lingqin and Ruilin made a comparison, they fled to the southwest of the capital, and there were 2,000 officers and soldiers guarding the Old Summer Palace. Taking advantage of the threat of victory, and the ghost troops were nowhere to be found, the coalition army sent a direct note to the Qing court, ordering the Qing army to hand over Andingmen within five days, otherwise the city would be attacked. The main force continued to advance towards the Old Summer Palace, to have a good look in the summer palace of Emperor Xianfeng.

Guo Xing'a continued to struggle near Wanping, but he sent a large number of scouts, and the main force still didn't dare to enter the Jingshi easily, he was really afraid of Shengbao, a pig teammate.
