Yi Xin experienced the feeling of living like a year, and he was tormented like an ant on a hot pan for the past two days. Whether this Andingmen is handed over or not, it is really difficult to kill His Royal Highness the young prince, and at the same time, Yixin also hates his fourth brother who is gone, His Majesty Emperor Xianfeng. The king of a country has slipped away, but he has to bear the thousands of sins, and the foreign devils have burned the Old Summer Palace, and putting them in Beijing is tantamount to opening the door and stealing. But if you don't let it in, it won't work, and if you let it in, there is still the possibility of easing the situation, and if someone else comes in, this thousand-year-old capital will be 100% destroyed in one fell swoop.

The time limit given by the coalition has arrived, and Yixin still hasn't figured out a result, Gui Liang, Wen Xiang, Seng Lingqin, Ruilin and others are also at a loss, and they can't come up with a reliable idea at all. But at this time, all the Qing troops in Andingmen had withdrawn, and the city gate had been slowly opened.

Ergin did not hang himself from a tree, and after scaring Hengqi, who represented Yixin, he sent people into the city to scare Shengbao. At the same time, because the canal gradually froze, the supply of materials to the coalition army was difficult, so they began to loot in the suburbs of Beijing, creating a greater momentum, looking like they were about to storm Beijing at any time, almost scaring the remaining Shengbao and others to death.

As soon as Xianfeng slipped away, the city of Beijing was already in a rumor, and the defense of Beijing under the command of Shengbao was even more in shambles. First of all, the first three gates were closed for no reason, and the East Gate, Chaoyang Gate, and Guangqu Gate were all plugged with soil, leaving only the Xuanwu Gate and the West Gate to lead to the future. Zhengyang Gate is also ajar, closed at noon, resulting in the gradual extinction of vegetables in Beijing, and later only opened Xuanwu Gate. In order to create momentum, the British and French troops entered the Chaoyang Gate, cut down trees and built ladders, prepared to attack on the back, and plundered everywhere. Outside the two gates of Chaoyang and Dongzhi, more than 100 small villages were swept away by foreign devils. Shengbao did not ban internal and external news, which led to chaos in the city, shouting and crying, and the men and women of the Eight Banners in the inner city helped the old and the young, and fled on foot. As soon as the Zhangyi Gate (Guang'an Gate) opened, there was an endless stream of people leaving the city. The British and French troops adjusted their camps again, gathered inside the walls of the Temple of Earth, and frighteningly put the remaining heavy artillery of the French army on the wall. And non-stop in Anding, Desheng, Xizhi, Fucheng four outside the four gates of the villages, ravaged, near Andingmen near the Wilmar warehouse also hit, was robbed of more than 40,000 stones of japonica rice.

Faced with such a situation, Shengbao did not wait for the entangled Yixin, and directly discussed with the officials left behind in Beijing, and agreed to hand over Andingmen to the coalition forces. In the early morning of the sixth day, Zhou Zupei, the minister of regimental defense in Beijing, and others withdrew the defenders of Andingmen and opened the city gate of Andingmen.

At the same time as opening the city unconditionally, Shengbao also wrote a personal letter to Yixin shamelessly, claiming that he was helpless, and in order to share the worries of his father, he was willing to bear thousands of sins and infamy through the ages. Although Seng Lingqin and the others rolled their eyes after seeing it, Yixin was still a little moved, at least he didn't have to bear the charge of betrayal.

Even if the British army was not disabled by Guoxinga, they were unable to conquer Beijing, not to mention that only the French army was left alone. Unexpectedly, the government of the Qing Dynasty was full of stupid cowards, who were frightened by Ergin's false words and intimidation, and obediently handed over the majestic city.

For the glorious task of occupying Andingmen, the British and French armies, who were at odds with each other, were very humble. After all, Andingmen was deceived back by Ergin, and the glorious task of occupying the Chinese capital should belong to the British, and the French did not fight for it because of their face. Of course, Ergin wanted the British army to occupy Beijing, but at the moment there were less than 2,000 British troops nearby, and they were all defeated soldiers who had been beaten to the ground, and they were unable to complete this glorious task, so he could only push it to the French. After much conceit, the coalition forces decided to have the 1st French Brigade stationed at Andingmen, but the British and French flags were to be planted on the walls.

Montauban's decision to personally lead the French army into Andingmen was an honor for the veteran general, who had been fighting in Africa for twenty-seven years, to occupy the capital of a vast empire. Montauban remembers that when he left France, Marshal Landon announced to him: "Now please take up the French flag!" May God bless this army as it sails across the ocean, 5,000 nautical miles away from its homeland, to avenge the sacred rights of Christianity and civilization. On the day you return to your homeland, you will proudly tell your fellow citizens that you have planted your flag in a place where immortal Rome, in its heyday, never thought of sending troops into. ”。

Looking at the high-spirited Montauban and Gro, Ergin was a little envious but not jealous, because he knew that Montauban's road was not easy. In front of the coalition forces are not only the cowardly Qing government army, but also the mysterious ghost troops. Although Ergin made a mistake in his judgment on the issue of the Old Summer Palace, he still firmly believed that the ghost army would not sit idly by and watch Beijing fall, and that Montauban would inevitably fall into the quagmire of bitter battle with the ghost army while gaining the glory of occupying Beijing. Looking at the back of Montauban's departing army, Ergin seemed to see the scene of the defeat of the French army and the ghost army, or even the death of the same party.

The intelligence network of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department developed extremely smoothly in the Qing Dynasty, so when Shengbao and the others decided to hand over Andingmen, Guoxing'a of the Old Summer Palace got the news. It can be regarded as Guoxing, who has gone through many storms, is still scorched by Shengbao's behavior, and it can be regarded as shaking the past and the present to this extent.

"Why doesn't the imperial court seem to know anything about the movements of our department, blind or deaf!" In order to avoid entanglement with Shengbao and others, Guo Xing'a has not reported his military exploits and actions to the imperial court. But the Qing Dynasty also has its own sentinels, and it stands to reason that they should not be smeared with black eyes, and the Guoxing Awanwan army and the British army are fighting very loudly, and even the people nearby know about it, and there is no reason why the imperial court does not know.

"It seems that Shengbao deliberately filtered the news of our department, and some people who knew about it were also silent, so the imperial court didn't know anything about Dong Weng's achievements and situation!" There is no such content in the intelligence, but Zou Degui analyzed this possibility from the summary situation.

"Why?" Guo Xing'a was a little confused, he was hiding from Shengbao, what was Shengbao hiding.

"The defense commander of the Beijing Division did not give it to him, only because he had the largest number of troops and returned bloodily in the Battle of Bali Bridge, so he was temporarily in charge. If Dong Weng's achievements are made public, I am afraid that the crown of the defense commander of the Beijing Division will fall on Dong Weng's head. Pi Runmin guessed Katsubo's idea in the blink of an eye.

"Katsuho is a fucking spy!" Guoxing Ah looked up to the sky and sighed.

Of course, Shengbao can't be a spy of the coalition army, his glory and wealth are all in the Qing Dynasty, and foreigners can't buy him at all. It's just that he is too stupid, so that even if the foreigners really send a spy, they can't do it so perfectly. He was afraid that Guo Xing'a would rob him of his position, so he hid the news of Guo Xing'a's existence, which Guo Xing'a could understand. But when this great god judged the situation, he didn't know if he was self-hypnotized and really forgot the existence of Guoxinga, which is schizophrenia. It's like Shengbao is fighting with people to fight the landlord, and Guo Xing'a is his two kings, four and two, and it is understandable that people don't know it. But when he played his cards, he used the two kings as a three, which was mentally ill!

After scolding Shengbao, Guo Xing'a suddenly remembered Grant, remembered the Elgin that Grant had analyzed for him before, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back. Erjin couldn't burn the Old Summer Palace, and now he may burn down the city of Beijing. There are less than 1,000 people in the Old Summer Palace, that is, there are more treasures, and there are millions of people in Beijing! Even if Erjin was very restrained and only dealt with the Forbidden City, it would be much more serious than him burning the Old Summer Palace. The Old Summer Palace is just a garden that was only built from the Yongzheng period, and the Forbidden City was the imperial city of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the number of treasures and its own value are not on the same platform. Guo Xing'a just packed the Old Summer Palace and gave it to Erjin by himself, and he couldn't let him move the Forbidden City. What's more, everything is dead, but people are alive, and if Ergin is mad and does something to the people of Beijing, it will be a catastrophe.

"Cavalry, cavalry! The light cavalry regiment will assemble at once and go with me to Beijing! After the cavalry regiment, heavy cavalry battalion, and artillery battalion mobile company copied, if they defend the Old Summer Palace and let foreign devils destroy the city of Beijing, Lao Tzu will be a sinner through the ages! The tips of Guoxing's fingers were cold.

The strategists didn't have any opinions, and they had thought of what Guo Xing'a had thought of, and it was superfluous to say anything now, and they had to stop the foreign devils before they entered the city.

"Uncle Sai, when I was away, you took over the command of the whole army, leaving one battalion to guard the Old Summer Palace, and the other departments quickly followed. We must block Devil Yang under the city of Beijing, and now we can only rely on us! "Guo Xing'a wants to take Tan Shaoguang away this time, so he can only hand over the infantry and the troops directly under him to Saishan'a.

"Be careful, sir!" Saishan'a wanted to dissuade Guo Xing'a from taking the risk himself, but looking at Guo Xing'a's resolute gaze, he swallowed his words back. Goxinga is going, not only to stop the coalition forces, but also to coordinate Beijing's defense, and no one can replace Goxinga.

"I'll go with you!" Tan Shaoguang didn't mean to persuade Guo Xing'a, but he didn't worry that Guo Xing'a would only take a regiment with cold weapons to play the striker.

"I'll only charge once, and I'll only delay the coalition forces, and the rest will depend on you! The barracks of the coalition army are not far from Andingmen, and the follow-up will definitely fall into a melee, your regiment can be used as infantry, and it is up to you to build a defensive line to support the bottom! Guo Xing'a patted Tan Shaoguang's shoulder and returned with a not-so-bright smile.

The assembly of troops was quickly completed, and looking at the light cavalry regiment that was still a horse bandit half a year ago, Guo Xing'a didn't say anything, just turned over and stepped onto the war horse, and pointed the saber in the direction of Beijing. The Old Summer Palace is not far from Beijing, and Andingmen is located directly north of Beijing, so Guo Xing'a quickly led the team to arrive. However, the scene was a little awkward, at ten o'clock, the sun's rays were very good, and Goxinga, who had arrived in a hurry, happened to meet Montauban, who was about to enter the city.

The French also discovered the Gu'an army, although it was obviously different from other Qing soldiers in clothing, but because they were not disguised with blades of grass, they did not recognize these ghosts that had tormented them for a long time. Montauban was a little puzzled, whether these Qing cavalry were here to welcome them or to fight, it was not easy to judge!

"Brothers, it turns out that I am a gentleman of the Eight Banners, you are horse bandits who kill people and steal goods, and we are not good people in the tears of the people. We have done all the things that have harmed the people. Now we wear big hats and green, and the people scold our mothers when they see us. But on the other side are foreign devils, they also go to the city to harm the people, can our people let them do the trouble? I don't want to watch foreign devils kill our Chinese babies, and I don't want to watch Chinese girls being pressed under this gang of white-skinned and black-skinned bastards, so fucking rush with me! "When Montauban couldn't figure out the situation, Goshinga's somewhat nondescript pre-war mobilization was over.

"Hooray!" Fuquan raised the eight-star flag and led the entire cavalry regiment to chant the iconic slogan of the Gu'an Army.

Guo Xing'a took the lead in killing the French army, and the war horse was sprinting at high speed, and his ears were filled with the sound of the wind. Guo Xing'a felt that he should also shout something, shouting "kill" was a bit monotonous, shouting "long live" his subordinates had already shouted, Guo Xing'a, who should have had a blank brain, was now thinking of some strange thoughts.

"Demacia!" When the French gunfire was remembered, Goxinga inexplicably shouted a slogan that represented an era.
