Almost all of the Manchu and Mongolian troops who accompanied Leshan on the north shore were killed, but some of them were seriously wounded and captured, and they and some of the same wounded Xiangyong became prisoners of the coalition army. Both the British and French armies had a large number of accompanying medics who treated the wounded and provided them with medicines.

The wounded soldiers were crying all the time, and many of the Coalition soldiers were laughing at the cowards, but they soon began to respect the brave men. The wounded soldiers all tore off the gauze from their wounds, and although they were crying, they were crying to Leshan's body. They are not weeping out of fear of death, they are mourning their general.

"What a loyal and brave warrior!" Wilson was the one in charge of guarding the prisoners, and he looked at the wounded soldiers, and he was not without emotion.

The monk on the south bank was also lamenting, after a fierce battle on the north bank for a long time, the sound of guns and cannons dissipated, and he knew what it meant. Looking at the gloomy sky, he was a little helpless, the north shore has been lost, what will happen to the south shore?

"Lord Wang, Yangyi began to attack the stone crack fort in the early morning, and after a fierce battle for half a day, more than 1,000 people below the Leshan army were loyal to the country. Due to the death of the Leshan military gate, the people of the forts on the north bank were scattered, and the two thousand defenders surrendered to the enemy, and all the forts have fallen. Wen Xiang walked behind Monk Greenqin and said heavily.

"It's raining?" Monk Grinqin seemed to be talking to himself, and suddenly it rained heavily in the sky, and the earth became a land of Ze.

"The loyalty of the Leshan Military Gate touches the heavens and the earth!" Wen Xiang couldn't help crying, this is God crying for Leshan.

"It would be nice to be earlier, a few hours in the morning, why not! O God! "Monk Grinqin stood like a stone statue in the rain, and tears fell like heavy rain. If this heavy rain had been a little earlier, the coalition army's firearms would have been greatly restricted, and the road would have been difficult to navigate, and they would have been defeated by Leshan.

"Lord Wang, take care of your body!" Wen Xiang helped Monk Greenqin retreat indoors to avoid the rain.

After the rain, the sky did not clear, but Xianfeng's secret decree arrived again, and in short, there were only four words: "surrender Gyeonggi". After the repeated defeats of Monk Greenqin, the elite of his subordinates suffered serious losses, and it was time for Hugh to rest. Moreover, after the loss of the North Shore Battery, the South Bank Battery was caught in the flanking attack of the North Shore and the allied sea surface ships, and it was inevitable that it would not last. Therefore, in accordance with the holy decree, Seng Lingqin once again ordered the defenders of the fort on the south bank and the Mongol horse team to retreat, and he did not retreat to Tianjin, which was already destined to be unpreserved, but withdrew all the way to Zhangjiawan, which was four hundred miles away. The main force of Seng Lingqin was gone, and Hengfu, the governor of Zhili, had no curse at all, and directly erected a white flag on the south bank fort and handed over the fort to the coalition army.

The Qing Dynasty and the opposition are all heartbroken by the defeat of Dagu, and the imperial historian, known as the crow, is about to scold the ancestral tomb of the monk Greenqin's family. Although Monk Greenqin acted in accordance with the will of the Military Aircraft Department, he was now about to become a national thief, and Xianfeng couldn't cover him. can only be deprived of the three-eyed dazzling feather representing the glory of Monk Lingqin on the charge of negligence, and at the same time revoke his position as the minister of the guard and the commander of Manchuria with the yellow flag, which can be regarded as a small explanation to the government and the opposition for the time being.

The whole Zhili was worried, but there was one person who was very excited, and as soon as Dagu was lost, he gave Emperor Xianfeng the seventh time to ask for war.

"Fucking armaments, it's finally our turn!" Guoxing Adu is about to jump up, he has been the protagonist since the crossing, he was the focus of everyone when he was in Jiangnan, and all kinds of chaos were caused by him. Guo Xing'a can be called Mu Guiying, a character who can't be left behind, and he has been suffocated for more than half a month.

He was rejected several times in a row, and the court almost told him to prepare to go south every day, which almost made him depressed to death. Extremely bored, he began to continue to fight violently, and a brigade in his hand was already more than a division of the British army, but he was not satisfied, and he had to get another infantry regiment out. Completely ignoring Gu'an's already stretched financial situation, he recruited another battalion of recruits and was working overtime for training. Now that Monk Lingqin is out of food, Guo Xinga feels that it is his turn to play, and he must also play, and if he is not let out to rob, his troops will run out of food.

"As long as the instructions of the imperial court come, I will immediately send troops to Tianjin, Fengsheng A will stay behind, and the main force will all go to battle with me!" There was no news of the imperial court at all, and Goxinga had already convened a meeting of officers to make arrangements for the expedition.

"Ji Ying, don't be a chief of staff, what kind of bird can you pay attention to, the chief of staff let Shelab be on top! You stay and go to that recruit battalion as a battalion commander, I will allow you to recruit soldiers, recruit enough regiments, you can directly become the regiment commander! "Guo Xing'a has been going to the teahouse a lot lately, and his mouth is full of fragments.

"My lord, it's me bringing the recruits again!" Ji Ying was a little reluctant, he was the second battalion last time, and he was too impressed about the lack of recruits.

"This battle has to be fought, you still have enough time, I use you because I trust you, don't be ashamed!" Goxinga is now also familiar with words like "the organization believes in you".

"Thank you, sir!" Ji Ying didn't argue anymore, he was indeed more suitable for leading infantry.

The generals made another calculation, and even the transportation of grain and grass, the collection of trophies, the rear guard, the route of the troops, etc., were all clarified one by one. Saishana even gave everyone a detailed explanation of the five or six versions of the operational plan for the vicinity of Tianjin formulated by the General Staff Headquarters during the wartime. After the meeting was dismissed, everyone either went home to settle down or went to the barracks to boost morale, as if they were going to go on the expedition tomorrow. However, no one expected that the imperial court pouted Guo Xing'a again, and his request for war was rejected again.

On August 24, the allied troops entered Tianjin, and Hengfu, the governor of Zhili, went out of the city to greet him, and Tianjin was declared to have fallen. The imperial court once again sent Gui Liang, a small expert in peace negotiation, to Tianjin to negotiate peace with the coalition forces. Everyone knows that when they go to Tianjin to negotiate peace, the foreign devils will definitely want the lion to open their mouths, but the Qing Dynasty will not be able to be slaughtered with this knife, and the southern Tianping Heavenly Kingdom is really playing big this time. Not to mention the occupation of Suzhou, Li Xiucheng had already entered Shanghai on 18 August with the might of a defeated foreign gun. The Qing Dynasty must throw all the strength at hand into the south to keep half of the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, and the north is really more than enough to deal with foreign devils.

Before Gui Liang arrived in Tianjin, the British minister Ergin and the French minister Gro met an interesting old Chinese man in the suburbs. The old man was a little fat, dressed very luxuriously, and very polite, giving people the impression of being so suave. The old man seemed to have taken some kind of special exam and received some special honor, although the old man tried his best to show it, but Ergin and the others did not understand.

The old man told the two that the people were very happy that your country had taught the officers and soldiers a good lesson. The officers and soldiers oppressed the people, and the people of the whole country were complaining bitterly, and they had long hoped that someone would come out to relieve the people from hanging upside down. Moreover, in order to prevent the attack of the coalition forces this time, the government also forced the people to build fortresses and extort the property of the people's homes. The old man is convinced that you have only come for trade, which is beneficial to both countries, and that the people will support you. The old man also agitated that since the coalition forces had won on the battlefield, they should maintain their dominance over this hard-won area. I hope that they will be light on the meager endowments and treat the people under their rule well, as long as the people are converted, they can even become the new rulers of the country.

So before meeting Gui Liang, the two had been lamenting the weakness of the Chinese's sense of statehood, and at the same time wondered why the elderly gentleman would invite foreigners to rule his country. Because everyone's cultural background is completely different, the two will never be able to understand the old man's thoughts. The old man never thought that these foreign devils who had finally broken into China would talk to the government and leave, who would be so stupid! The so-called trade is just a fool, and it is true to fight for the world, and who will not be tempted by the hundreds of millions of people in the world of flowers in the Central Plains? That's why the old man will stand up, and what he does has a special name, which is called eating pot pulp to welcome the king. Erjin and the others didn't see the desire in the old man's eyes, the new dynasty and the new atmosphere, but they also had to use the old ministers of the previous dynasty to appease people's hearts, and the old man was the old minister who no one knew in the previous dynasty. He really wanted to be used by the two foreign devils, even if it was to manage a county, but the two foreign devils didn't understand the old man's voice at all.

After Gui Liang arrived in Tianjin, the two sides had a very unfriendly meeting at the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili. At the same time, they demanded an increase in indemnity payments and the opening of Tianjin as a treaty port, and the envoys of the two countries each had to bring a battalion of troops into Beijing to exchange the treaty, and a group of advance troops had to enter Beijing to find a place to live.

Accepting the Tianjin Treaty, Gui Liang can still be decided, but the conditions such as bringing troops into Beijing are not something he can decide, and he can only play Emperor Xianfeng. This is more uncomfortable than scolding Xianfeng in front of him for being lame, what he hates most is the clause that foreigners enter Beijing to exchange contracts, if it weren't for the emperor not wanting to see foreigners, the Opium War would not have started at all. Four years earlier, the Opium War had begun when ministers from various countries asked to see the emperor, but the emperor refused to see them. In Xianfeng's world, there is absolutely no foreigner, and the matter of ignoring the respect and humility of the clan must not happen.

Therefore, Gui Liang received a stern reprimand of "it is not allowed to take the overall situation as an excuse and then blaspheme", and at the same time, Xianfeng demanded that "the first order to withdraw the entire army of soldiers and horses from Haikou, and not allow more followers to come to Beijing." ”。 Emperor Xianfeng only accepted the worship of the Yi people, and would never negotiate with them.

Gui Liang, who was not a person inside and outside, had to ask the American minister to help communicate, and the Americans were again noncommittal, and he was fed up with this strange humor of the Chinese. On the day when the British and French troops landed in Beitang, Hengfu, the governor of Zhili, asked him for such a silence, in Hengfu's concept, it seemed that as long as Britain and France accepted the exchange of the treaty from Beitang to Beijing, they could write off the war for more than a year. Now Gui Liang is here again, everyone is coming to the city, you can't fight and can't fight, why are there so many things.

In the midst of Gui Liang's various pushes, the negotiations took place for another day. Erjin and Gero also discovered that Gui Liang was grinding foreign workers, and he couldn't be the master at all, and everything had to wait for the emperor in Beijing to decide.

"Mr. Gui Liang, it seems that your status as a Qincha is a bit unworthy of the name, and everything has to be decided by His Majesty the Emperor. Instead of waiting here boringly and wasting your precious time, let's go to Beijing to find His Majesty the Emperor! Ergin had long been impatient, and his treatment in the British Parliament was similar to that of Monk Rinqin, and he was about to commit suicide.

"You can't go to Beijing!" Gui Liang was old, and his thinking didn't keep up.

"We have enough good soldiers, and they will send us there!" Gro smiled very gentlemanly at Gui Liang.
