Chapter 248: Hongci Yonghu

By the time Mitchell led his army to the western part of the city, Wilson had already fled with his men. After learning that the main force of the ghost army was ambushed in the Old Summer Palace, Mitchell chose to stop the march without hesitation, he would not go to Goxinga desperately, and it was true to ask the main French army for help. Mitchell had to wait for reinforcements and Ergin's decision, which just gave Goxinga time and gave him the opportunity to empty the Old Summer Palace.

In a day's time, it is very difficult to walk around the huge three mountains and five gardens, and it is even more difficult to scavenge them clean. However, under the coordination and command of Zou Degui, the Gu'an Army really did it, and it was much cleaner than the coalition forces in the original history.

The robbers robbed things with poor organizational discipline and lack of corresponding operation plans, so everyone just swarmed and robbed, which was naturally inefficient and time-consuming. The Gu'an Army is much more organized and disciplined, what to move first and then what to move, all kinds of treasures are classified, and there will be no chaos at all. moved to Wanshou Mountain, the direct troops had to help, and the Second Infantry Regiment had to join hands when they moved to Jingyiyuan, and the whole army had more than thousands of coalition troops. The original palace maids and eunuchs in each garden have also been mobilized, and their families have moved things, which is naturally faster and rarely missed.

The coalition forces had no plan to loot the Old Summer Palace, and they didn't know which ones were treasures and which were just faucets. Whatever you plunder, it's all up to your personal preference, and you can take whatever you see. The Gu'an Army does not have this problem, first, everyone is Chinese, and there are people like Zou Degui sitting in the town, and those things are valuable at a glance. Second, a large number of eunuchs in the garden have benefited, and they really think that the Gu'an Army is protecting the property in the garden, and under the careful guidance of this group of guides who have been begging for a living in the garden all their lives, the Gu'an Army will naturally not move something worthless.

No matter how much the coalition forces can rob it, they will rob it if they can't, and they will destroy it if they can't rob it, and the Gu'an Army will not do this kind of thing. Small and medium-sized things will be removed by the Gu'an Army, and large items or sculptures will not be touched by the Gu'an Army. It's a good thing, but if it's broken, it's no good, and Guoxing Ake never does anything that harms others and doesn't benefit himself.

In terms of transportation, the Gu'an Army is not like the coalition army, where people with large bags and small packages carry horses and packs, but they are classified and transported according to the categories of goods. The car was for gold and silverware, the car for books and antiques, and the car for porcelain and jade, and they were clearly distinguished. All the members of the baggage battalion went into battle, and the heavy cavalry battalion also sent a large number of people to help, and after a busy time, hundreds of carts of treasures were sent to the base camp of the Gu'an army day and night.

Of course, not everyone is so cooperative, and hundreds of people are shaped*, not to mention that there are nearly 1,000 palace maids and eunuchs in the Old Summer Palace, and some of the fine eunuchs and palace maids have already seen that something is wrong with the Gu'an Army. However, the soldier's knife and gun are in front, and no one dares to touch this tiger's buttocks, most of the time the knife is harder than the neck. Anyway, the Gu'an Army left their names and names, and when someone really investigates them, it is not too late for them to come out to testify, and it is better not to eat the losses in front of them. But there are always people in the world who have a sense of justice, and they don't rub sand in their eyes. This kind of person is sometimes called a hero, sometimes a fighter, and more often than not, he is suspected of having a brain problem.

"These bastards are trying to steal the treasures of the palace! Immediately close the palace gate, I, Hongci Yonghu, enshrine the gods of the previous emperors from the Holy Ancestor to the present, and I definitely can't be desecrated by them! The chief eunuch of Anyou Palace has been looking at the busy Gu'an army outside, and when the transport team of the Gu'an army got closer, after emptying Shunfang Academy under his nose, he saw the flaw, and hurriedly ordered the palace maids and eunuchs who were preparing to sacrifice in Anyou Palace to close the door of Anyou Palace.

Hongci Yonghu is the royal ancestral shrine in the Old Summer Palace, because the main palace is Anyou Palace, so it is also called Anyou Palace. Located in the northwest corner of the Old Summer Palace, it was built in the seventh year of Qianlong, the main body of the temple is completely imitated by the Forbidden City, and the hall enshrines the portraits of the Qing emperors such as Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, etc. Anyou Palace is the largest and highest specification building in the Old Summer Palace, with heavy eaves resting on the top of the mountain, nine wings, and yellow glazed tiles. In front of the palace gate is two glazed archways, and there is a pair of Chinese tables each. All the emperors from the Forbidden City in the city to the Old Summer Palace, from the Imperial Garden back to the palace, out and out to the garden, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the Qingming Festival, the birthday of the current emperor, the birthday of the first emperor and the death day, etc., the emperor has to come here to bow and salute.

In recent days, Anyou Palace is preparing for sacrifices, so there are a lot of people on duty in the palace, and there are more than 200 women's football teams in the Eunuch Palace. As soon as the chief eunuch gave the order, dozens of eunuchs rushed back and forth, closing the gate of Anyou Palace.

"Big brother, the soldiers and horses outside are the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and they keep saying that they are doing things by order, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to close the palace gate!" The mother in charge and the eunuch in charge are eating each other, and they are two people who are virtual phoenixes and fake phoenixes, and when they saw that their family was arguing angrily, they were afraid that he would offend people, so they hurriedly came out to dissuade them.

"It's hard to say whether it's an official or not! You see, they don't have braids! The chief eunuch pulled his wife up to the wall, pointed to the empty back of the Gu'an army soldiers, and said.

"How do we know about this war, it can't be someone pretending to be an official or soldier!" The lady in charge was also shocked when she saw it. After all, there is still a long time before the Qing Dynasty opens its door, and a group of men without braids and a group of naked men are about the same in terms of novelty.

"It's not enough to fake the official army, there were really foreigners who came in last night, and they really came to protect the garden. But whether there is a holy decree to take care of the treasures in the garden, it's hard to say! Who knows where their big carts and small cars are going? They want to take advantage of the chaos to transport all the treasures away, and when the foreign devils retreat, either they will die without proof, or they will return the blame to us slaves in the garden. "The head of the chief eunuch's analysis is Dao.

"You're thinking too much about it again!" The mother-in-charge chuckled in her heart, but she still prayed that no bad luck would befall her.

"I hope I'm thinking too much, but unfortunately it's not! Look at these people, they even have to search the little eunuchs who help carry things, are there any rules? Desperately loading things into the car, no matter how you look at it, it is also for yourself, where is there a little bit of an order to do things. And although there are records of the things that are loaded, but this record is only for their own view, and there is no bottom for all parts of the garden, and whoever they want to go to in the future will want something! They don't even leave a note in the garden, and they dare to say that they are ordered to escort the treasures, they are filling their own pockets! The chief eunuch was heartbroken, but he could only watch these rats steal the royal things, and he could barely hold on to his own one-third of an acre.

The location of Anyou Palace is a bit remote, so it was placed at the end of the relocation work. Zou Degui had already sent someone to inform him before, asking Anyou Palace to pack up the valuables and hand them over to the soldiers to transport away, and all the palace maids and eunuchs gathered in the Acropolis to escape the war. However, when the soldiers emptied the neighborhood and the eunuchs and maids of the other palaces were also transferred, they found that the Anyou Palace had not prepared anything at all, and closed the palace gate, with the Gu'an army as an enemy.

"Open the door, open the door, move quickly! The military situation is like fire! Now is not the time to put on a score! Xishou, who had fallen in the oil depot and was already soaked all over his body, knocked on the door of Anyou Palace with a long sound.

The people in the treasure camp that Guoxing'a cared about didn't dare to get started, but they made a lot of gold and silver ingots, small rings, hairpin ring jewelry, jade bracelets, dong pearls, agate and other things. It's not just the people in the baggage camp, almost everyone has it, the soldiers of the main force also took it, and the eunuchs and palace maids who helped carry things also took it, and almost everyone got the benefits. The eunuch in charge of Anyou Palace saw the soldiers of the Gu'an Army searching for the body of the little eunuch, because the little eunuch had hidden a number of treasures, and the number was found to be wrong by Xishou and others who reconciled the accounts.

Xishou, as the leader of the baggage camp, Guo Xing'a acquiesced to people who had a certain authority to be greedy for ink, and his net worth has skyrocketed. He is now exaggerating to say that the rich rival the country, but the average rich family is afraid that it can't compare to him. If it weren't for the influence, he wouldn't have knocked on the door in person, a small Anyou Palace is no longer in the eyes of Xishou.

"Why is it silent! Send two people over the wall to go in and see, don't those eunuchs have already run away, we have to move ourselves without labor. "The chief eunuch didn't pay attention to Xishou at all, so Xishou waited for a long time and there was no sound in the palace, so he could only send someone over the wall to investigate.

A few soldiers with good skills smiled and handed over their small pockets to their brothers who had died, and then they carried their guns and climbed the wall with a human ladder. The soldiers thought that the eunuchs and maids of Anyou Palace were afraid of things, so they had lost the palace and secretly ran away by themselves, and the palace was empty. As soon as they showed their heads on the wall, several feather arrows had already flown towards their heads, almost nailing them to the palace wall. It turned out that the chief eunuch of Anyou Palace was not at ease after closing the door, so he called a few skilled eunuchs of Anyou Palace and invited the bows and arrows to be enshrined. Seeing the soldiers of the Gu'an Army climbing the wall, they used the bows and arrows left by the emperors to guard the peace of the emperors.

"You're fucking going to die! Lao Tzu is the official army of the imperial court, and he was ordered to carry the treasures in the palace and place you to avoid the war, not foreign devils, don't let go of arrows! Several soldiers lying on the wall hurriedly identified themselves after scolding and shouting, and asked the people inside to find out the situation. However, they shouted in vain, and the people inside did not talk or give up resistance, as long as they dared to show their heads, it would be a random arrow.

"Damn, is the neighborhood clean?" Xishou pursed his lips and asked his adjutant Dachun in a low voice.

"Yingza, the nearby palaces are all clean, except for our people, there is not a single eunuch and palace maid left!" Da Chun is also a noble son of the banner people in Gu'an, he is extremely clever, and his assessment results in the devil training camp are also good. However, he is the only son in the family, and his father wants him to get ahead but is reluctant to let him go to the battlefield, but fortunately, his father has a good relationship with Xiande, so he got him to Xishou's side to experience. After following Xishou for more than a month, an aspiring young man who once looked forward to the Prancing Horse Frontier has become more slippery than a loach, and Xishou even regards Dachun as his successor.

"Damn, others always say that the people in our baggage camp can't do it, and even the medical soldiers in his mother's Wu Langzhong can't beat them. Lao Tzu is going to train you today, you are also soldiers! It's not a burning stick in your hand! Damn, a group of eunuchs who have not been planted, they can scare you with two bows, and we won't have to mix up in the baggage camp in the future! If they dare to resist the military order, there is no need to be polite to them, give me a hand, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! Xi Shou pinched his waist with one hand, trying to find the feeling when Guo Xing'a ordered the slaughter of the city.

"Stop, don't ......" The soldier who climbed the wall began to shoot at Anyou Palace*, and an anxious voice drifted from far away.
