"Ha-sama, I have some requests now, and I would like to ask you for help." Yang Xiaoshan looked at Hatu seriously.

"My lord, please." Hatu did not dare to slack off.

"Your Excellency can be regarded as a hero in Beijing." Yang Xiaoshan arched to Hatu.

"Don't dare to be, I'm just a servant of the emperor, taking care of the emperor's home." Hatu said hurriedly.

"I want to borrow the mouth of the adults to meet the friends on the road near the capital, and ask the adults to help one or two." Yang Xiaoshan wanted to use the power of the underworld to wrestle with the foreign devils.

"Zhen Guogong is laughing, what kind of friends on the road, how can the lower officials know them?" Hatu hurriedly waved his hand and denied it.

Yang Xiaoshan thought to himself, who are you blind? There are so many thieves in the capital, and so many mountain kings outside the city, without your umbrella, they can't survive. Since ancient times, black and white have used each other, you have me, I have you.

"It seems that Master Ha still wants to fight with foreigners and be loyal to the country." Yang Xiaoshan changed his words.

When Hatu heard this, he immediately softened, "Xiaguan knows some good men in the green forest, but Xiaguan doesn't care about them. ”

"I'm not pursuing this issue today, I want to ask Lord Ha to find them, Chang wants to ask them to help, and by the way, give them some business to do and earn more money." Yang Xiaoshan is referring to the asymmetric warfare of the previous life, and if we can't fight regular warfare, we will change to guerrilla warfare. As long as the foreigners enter the city, as soon as they disperse, let those green forest heroes beat the sticks and tie up the tickets, and the foreigners will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, but this matter must be kept secret, this matter is a little dirty, and the government cannot admit it.

"This is okay, I will pass a message to them on behalf of the adults, and let them listen to the arrangements of the adults." Hatu sighed, although he didn't know why Yang Xiaoshan was looking for these people in the rivers and lakes.

"In addition, I also ask the Admiral to borrow a team of soldiers to facilitate the actions of the subordinates." Yang Xiaoshan didn't have any soldiers in his hands, and if he had a security team, he would be able to deal with more things.

"Commander, you take a hundred brothers and Zhenguo Gong away, and everything is at his disposal." Hatu commanded the multiple commanders beside him.

"Fold, sir." Many commanders are powerful, tall and strong, and very strong.

So Yang Xiaoshan said goodbye to Hatu and went straight to the Old Summer Palace with many commanders.

The gates of the Old Summer Palace have been destroyed, and it seems that the British and French troops have already been here.

"Where's your steward?" Yang Xiaoshan entered the Old Summer Palace and stopped a little eunuch and asked.

"The foreign devils just left, they rushed in and snatched the foreigners who were locked up here, and Mr. Wen committed suicide by jumping into the Fuhai." The little eunuch looked very flustered.

Yang Xiaoshan understood that the British and French forces had rescued the Pasha envoys who were detained here.

Yang Xiaoshan led people to the place of detention, the scene was a bit miserable, there were many corpses, it is understood that half of the 39 hostages died, and only 18 were taken alive.

"It seems that the Old Summer Palace will not be saved, and the foreigners will definitely come to retaliate." Yang Xiaoshan knew that this was a bit unauthentic by the Qing government, and the two countries did not fight at war, and the reason that they could not win the war and take hostages to get angry was somewhat unreasonable.

Yang Xiaoshan, who was originally going to release the hostages and want to reconcile with Britain and France, realized that he was still one step slower.

"Commander, you take someone to transfer all the books in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the garden to the Forbidden City." Yang Xiaoshan has gone all the way, this Old Summer Palace itself can not be all protected, but at least the books can not be burned, these books about Chinese history, art, philosophy, science and technology are the painstaking work of Chinese generations, and they are very precious rare and exquisite works of Chinese culture, which must not be destroyed.

"Deputy Chief Executive." Yang Xiaoshan looked at Eunuch Li who had just come over.

"The minions are here." Eunuch Li is not young, but he looks in good spirits.

"I also ask General Manager Li to summon the rest of the eunuchs and palace maids, help the commanders, quickly load the books into the car, and give priority to transporting all the books of the four libraries back to the Forbidden City." Yang Xiaoshan knew that there were tens of thousands of books in Wenyuan Pavilion, and it was not enough to command a hundred more people, but now it was as much as he could rescue.

"Are those foreigners still coming? We fought with them! Eunuch Li said indignantly.

Yang Xiaoshan looked at the old man, and couldn't imagine that the eunuch still had such backbone, "Manager Li, the foreigners are here, we can't stop it." But if someone takes advantage of the chaos to rob them, we have to guard it. ”

Although this Old Summer Palace was robbed and burned by Britain and France for a while, it can still be remedied and restored. In fact, what dealt a fatal blow to the Old Summer Palace was the rebellious people who took advantage of the fire to rob. Britain and France still picked good things to grab, but thousands of rioters came, and he didn't care whether it was worth it or not, he had to dig the roots home, and many people had to tear down even wooden pillars and take them back to be burned as firewood.

Although the Old Summer Palace is a private garden of the royal family, like the Forbidden City, it is a national property when it is built, and Yang Xiaoshan does not want such an exquisite garden that has condensed the efforts of several generations to be destroyed like this.

"Guarding the Old Summer Palace is originally the duty of a slave, and the little ones must be kept in mind." Eunuch Li agreed.

Yang Xiaoshan expected it to be good, and the next day, the British and French troops came over under the pretext that the hostages were killed, and wanted to take revenge on the Chinese emperor.

After they entered the Old Summer Palace, they began to pretend to take some art and take it back to the museum as souvenirs. Later, they could no longer resist the allure of objects, and officers and soldiers rushed forward in groups to rob the garden of gold and silver treasures and cultural and artistic treasures.

Immediately after that, the sabotage began. For 48 hours, the Old Summer Palace was the target of an "organized loot." The soldiers smashed vases and mirrors, tore off paintings and scrolls, they broke through warehouses to loot silk, and wrapped horses with these precious fabrics; They were wrapped in the queen's phoenix robes and their pockets were filled with rubies, sapphires, pearls, and crystals.

Because there were so many treasures in the garden, they didn't know what to do for a while, some moved the cloisonne porcelain vase, some coveted embroidered robes, some chose high-end leather coats, and some went to get a wall clock inlaid with pearls and jade. Some carry large pockets filled with all kinds of treasures. Some put gold bars and gold leaves in the wide pockets of their coats; Some were wrapped in brocade silk on their halfs; Some hats are filled with ruby sapphires, pearls, and crystals; Some have jade collars around their necks. In one chamber, there was a mountain of fine silk, said to be enough for half of the inhabitants of Beijing, and it was carried away by soldiers in large carts.

Afterwards, in order to cover up their ugly deeds, the British and French troops set fire to the Old Summer Palace, and only twenty or thirty palaces, pavilions, temples, official gates, duty rooms and other buildings survived in the huge Three Yuan Ming Palaces, but the doors and windows were many uneven, and the interior furnishings and several cases were all looted. At the same time, some buildings of Wanshou Mountain Qingyi Garden, Xiangshan Jingyi Garden and Yuquan Mountain Jingming Garden were also burned.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaoshan arranged in advance, and the books of Wenyuan Pavilion were able to escape, and the famous Siku Quanshu was not burned, which can be regarded as leaving a root for Chinese culture.
