Ergin, who had risen to a certain level of false fire, sent all the main forces of the British army on the front line, hoping to destroy the Old Summer Palace in one fell swoop, and deal a devastating blow to the morale of the Qing army, especially the ghost troops. Ergin is not a military idiot either, he also knows that the ghost force is strong, and if the British army alone fights the ghost army, Mitchell will definitely suffer a big loss. However, Elgin believed that the ghost troops would not leave Beijing and run to the Old Summer Palace to fight the British army when the French army approached the city.

However, Erjin didn't know who the ghost troops were, nor did he know that Guo Xing'a had a golden finger, and he didn't know that Guo Xing'a was now in the Old Summer Palace. Ergin knew the Chinese too well, and he always wishfully believed that the Chinese would give in if they were stimulated enough. He didn't know that if he really succeeded in destroying the Old Summer Palace, Guo Xing'a's morale would not only not be hit, but would also be improved, and the huge hatred would only strengthen Guo Xing'a's belief in killing him.

There is an old Chinese saying that the so-called Hu Yun has no hundred years. Because the Chinese are the toughest people in the world, even if they are occupied by foreigners, they will never give in or be assimilated by foreign races. Even the most powerful Mongols in the world could not hold out in China for more than a hundred years. Although the Manchurians had been more than a hundred years, they had been completely assimilated by the Chinese, and they accepted the teachings of the Confucian saints and became the descendants of Yan and Huang. The Manchurians did not have more than a hundred years of Hu Yun, and only a few decades later, the Manchurians had been swallowed up by the huge Han nation.

The cavalry group arrived at the Old Summer Palace in the evening, and at midnight Guo Xing'a personally led the main force to arrive. The coalition army, which was already at a disadvantage, groped in the Old Summer Palace with black eyes, and faced with tactics such as curtain battles, in addition to heavy casualties, heavy casualties. After the main force of the Gu'an Army was stationed in the three mountains and five gardens, Wilson and others chose to retreat very wisely, the cold guns in the garden were constant, and there was the danger of being surrounded on the periphery, as long as they were not fools, anyone would run.

"Block all the passages, block the eunuchs and palace maids in their original places of residence, and don't let them run around. Find out the chief eunuch for me, and the people in charge of all the things have been screened out, and the situation in the garden must be clarified as soon as possible! "The view of the Old Summer Palace is not visible in the middle of the night when there are no lights, but Goxinga's eyes are full of sparkling golden light.

Fushun and the others had already brought back detailed surveying and mapping drawings of all parts of the Old Summer Palace, and Guo Xing'a probably knew the geography of the Old Summer Palace better than Emperor Xianfeng, and he didn't need people from the Old Summer Palace to cooperate with him at all. What he really wants to find someone to understand is the treasure gold and silver situation in various parts of the Old Summer Palace, how can he go back empty-handed when he enters Baoshan, just take a toilet here, it is all rare and rare! Anyway, now that some of the soldiers of the coalition army have entered the Old Summer Palace, Guo Xing'a doesn't have some crooked thoughts, but it's not him.

"My lord, the Old Summer Palace has a minister in charge of the garden arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not managed by eunuchs!" Xiande still has a good understanding of the ownership of various parts of the court, and hurriedly reminded Guo Xing'a in the back.

It's not a big deal to get the wrong person about the attribution of something in a certain place, but it's a problem to treat people as eunuchs, and it's not worth offending people for such a trivial matter. The Old Summer Palace is the emperor's favorite place, and there is little interruption in the repair and expansion affairs.

"Hahaha! This is my badness! Who is the Minister of the Garden, bring him to me! Guo Xing'a was also a little embarrassed about his mistakes, after all, no matter who was regarded as a eunuch, his mood was probably not beautiful.

"The current minister of Guan Yuan is Wen Feng, who was born in the Yellow Banner of the Han Army of the Internal Affairs Bureau. Entered the post style of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, tired officials to the Minister of the Interior, the deputy commander of the Han Army of the Blue Banner, Manchuria of the Red Banner, and Manchuria of the White Banner, and the commander of the Blue Banner and the Yellow Banner Protector Army. He used to be the supervisor of Hangzhou Weaving, Suzhou Weaving, the supervisor of Guangdong Customs, the deputy supervisor of Chongwenmen, and the acting affairs of the Imperial Pharmacy and the Tai Hospital. Since the spring of the tenth year of Xianfeng, he has been ordered to take care of all matters in the Old Summer Palace. "Although Xiande has a good memory, he can't remember such a long resume. It was the guards of the staff headquarters who had already arrested a few eunuchs who were running around and asked for it.

"O big guy! Isn't it my time to see him! "Guo Xing Ah thought that a person who watched the yard would be an idle person to death, but he didn't expect that the level of people would be so high.

"My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you!" Xiande has already received the news of Wenfeng's suicide.

"What's wrong? Ran? "Monk Lingqin claims to be dead several times, and Guo Xing'a despises the integrity of the * officials.

"Lord Wenfeng, after the foreign devils invaded the garden, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea!" Xiande sighed, Wenfeng seemed to be the first civil official in the Beijing and Tianjin area to commit suicide since the start of the war.

"Ugh! …… Salvage Lord Wenfeng's body as soon as possible, collect it well, and wait for the court to posthumously commend it in the future! Guo Xing'a also put away his joking attitude.

The scale of the three mountains and five gardens is really a bit grand, after all, the Gu'an army has limited troops, and it can't take care of all the places without missing anything, and can only pick up key areas for defense. The cavalry regiment of Tan Shaoguang, the pro-commander of Guoxing, sat in the Old Summer Palace, and Saishan'a led the staff headquarters and directly subordinate combat troops to Wanshou Mountain. Bi Yuntao's infantry regiment defended the line from Wanquan River to Haidian Town, and faced the invading enemy head-on. Ji Ying's second infantry regiment was deployed on the front line of Liulangzhuang, Qinglong Bridge, Kunming Lake, and Jingyi Garden to guard the flank of the army. Bo Ritu's light cavalry regiment was stationed at Yuquan Mountain to guard the rear road of the army, and at the same time as a mobile force, ready to attack and respond.

After dawn, Guo Xing'a, who had arranged the defense, walked around the garden very leisurely, and at the same time looked for his own target. Guo Xing'a was very respectful at the Xianliang Gate, and paid tribute to Ren Liang and the skilled eunuchs who died in battle, and then Guo Xing'a happily began to move into the garden.

The Old Summer Palace is surrounded by more than 20 miles, composed of the Old Summer Palace, the Qichun Garden, the Changchun Garden, and many subordinate gardens, which are distributed in the east, west and south of the Old Summer Palace, among which there are the Jingyi Garden of Xiangshan, the Jingming Garden of Yuquan Mountain, the Qingyi Garden, etc., the total area of the whole garden is more than 5,000 acres. There are splendid palaces in the garden, and there are exquisite pavilions and pavilions; There are "buying and selling streets" that symbolize lively markets, and there are mountains and villages that symbolize idyllic scenery; There are the autumn moon of Pinghu Lake and the sunset of Leifeng that imitate the West Lake of Hangzhou, and the scenic spots that imitate the lion forest of Suzhou; There are also imitations of ancient poets and painters, such as Penglai Yaotai, Wuling Chunse, etc.

In the north of Changchun Garden, there are a large number of European-style garden buildings, commonly known as "Western Building", which is composed of more than ten buildings and gardens, such as Harmony Fun, Line Law Bridge, Ten Thousand Flowers Array, Bird Cage, Square Appearance, Haiyan Hall, Yuanying View, Great Water Law, Water View Law, Line Law Mountain and Line Law Wall. The architectural form is the "Baroque" style of the late European Renaissance, and the garden form is the "Le Nôtre" style. However, in terms of gardening and architectural decoration, it has also absorbed many traditional Chinese techniques. The building materials are mostly white marble, the stone surface is finely carved, and the roof is covered with glazed tiles. The main body of the Western building is actually an artificial fountain, which is called the "water law". It is characterized by a large number, a large momentum, and a strange idea. It mainly forms three large fountain groups of Harmony Fun, Haiyan Hall and Dashui Law.

The Old Summer Palace is mainly a group of garden landscapes, the more famous ones are "Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace", as well as the less famous Zibi Mountain House, Algae Garden, Ruofan Pavilion, Wenyuan Pavilion and so on. There are more than 600 major garden buildings with hanging plaques alone, which is the crown of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign royal gardens. Guo Xing'a can only take a stroll around the flowers, if you look at it all, I am afraid that it will not be possible without ten days and half a month.

Moreover, Guoxinga is completely looking at the garden with an archaeological mentality, after all, Guoxinga is not very interested in things such as scenery, and it is difficult for modern people to find a beautiful feeling when looking at ancient buildings. The big water method that has been blown into the sky by various books is a very ordinary fountain in Guoxinga's opinion, and compared with the fountain at the entrance of the railway station, it is like that.

The subtle carving of ancient craftsmen is still powerful, but not in this aspect. After all, the production capacity is limited, and the Qing Dynasty does not have modern industrial equipment such as cranes and concrete, even if it is the emperor, it can only be like this. In the previous life of Guoxing'a, a prefecture-level city built a new urban area, and it could move mountains and reclaim the sea, which was not a handiwork that the Qing Dynasty could have.

Guo Xing'a walked around the garden, that is, to hang the monuments, and also to find some benefits. A few eunuchs have already said that the Old Summer Palace is a treasure house, and it is currently the largest royal art museum in the world, with many treasures, books and art masterpieces. It contains rare cultural relics such as calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, secret classics, bell and ding treasures, gold and silver jewelry, etc., which concentrates the essence of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign cultural relics. At the same time, the Old Summer Palace is also a garden of exotic trees and flowers, with millions of precious flowers and trees. A potted plant can be sold for half a month's military expenses in Guoxing'a.

The book relics are also extremely amazing, the collection of the park "Siku Quanshu", "Quanshu Huiyao", "Ancient and Modern Books Collection", "Chunhua Pavilion Post" are absolute treasures, Guoxing's eyes are priceless. The calligraphy masterpieces of Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and even 99 great sages such as Cangjie, Xia Yu and Confucius, every word is a priceless treasure.

The gold and silver that the wealthy fan Guo Xing'a cares about is even more massive. There are more than 280,000 silver bills in the Old Summer Palace alone, and there are almost no other kinds of gold and silver treasures. Ruyi, pagodas, scepters, swords, armor and other treasures can fill more than a dozen museums.

Wen Feng, the minister of Guan Yuan, is dead, and the rest are some eunuchs and palace maids who may not know the number, and Guo Xing's heart is itching. Although some of the royal gardens in their country are not human, but in the face of countless treasures, Guoxing Ah really can't even take a step.

"Dong Weng ......, now that the foreign soldiers are outside the park, they can make the treasures concentrated in the park and handed over to the army to protect and hide, so as not to repeat the mistakes of yesterday and make the treasures fall into the hands of the enemy!" Pi Runmin whispered to him in Guoxing's ear to give him a notice.

"It's reasonable, foreign devils are ruthless! How many royal treasures were snatched from the courtyard yesterday! Lord Wenfeng committed suicide in distress, the scourge was too miserable! Guo Xing'a nodded with a smile, this big black cauldron in the Old Summer Palace, I want to thank Lord Yang for helping me carry it.
