Chapter Ninety-Three: The Prince's Fall
In the midst of the chaos, the three Ah San were thrown over the wall from the rear by their companions, and rushed to the Empress Dowager Ci'an from the air with scimitars. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Today's Empress Dowager Ci'an's helmet mask has long since fallen off, and the original golden armor is also stained with a layer of blood, but Ci'an, who is wearing a one-legged bronze man, is becoming more and more brave in battle.
Facing the three Ah San who rushed from the air, Ci'an didn't care too much, picked up the one-legged bronze man and slapped a Ah San in the air into meat paste first.
Just when the two Ah San felt that the opportunity had come, a silver spear stabbed from the diagonal and skewered the two Ah San from the air and smashed them to the ground.
Ci'an accepted the one-legged bronze man, and in a blink of an eye, it was Cixi who saved him: "Sister, didn't you say okay, you are in command ......"
Cixi: "The British army has three axes for artillery, infantry, and cavalry, and now the British have finished their three axes and have not won, which is a loss." Now that the overall situation has been decided, it doesn't matter whether there is a command or not. β
Ci'an took a closer look at the battle situation, and sure enough, the front battlefield of the British was chaotic, and the rear road was also chaotic. The cavalry of the two sides in the middle were still entangled and fighting together - but this did not affect the situation of the battle.
Cixi and Ci'an stood still on the small high slope on the battlefield hand in hand, and the armor on their bodies was red, white and yellow, as bright as two wild flowers in the Hell Shura Field. Qing Jun looked at it but was extremely warm: it was our two queen mothers looking at us.
At this time, the tune of the Qing army military band ambushing on all sides in the rear changed, but it was a new popular minor tune among the people today, and Ci'an also heard this song when he accompanied Emperor Xianfeng, and Ci'an couldn't help but sing along: "Good Erlang is a gallant ......"
The Empress Dowager had fun on the battlefield, and the morale of the Qing army was even better, although British officers continued to shoot deserters to maintain military discipline, but they could not stop the general trend, and the British army was finally defeated. A large number of Ah San knelt on the ground and begged to surrender.
Prince Edward wanted to run away when he saw the unfavorable situation of the war, but he was caught by a group of Ah San and tied up to the Qing army's position, thinking that Prince Edward would be exchanged for wealth.
When Cixi heard that she had captured Prince Edward, the commander of the British army, she was overjoyed, and when she heard that Ah San had caught him, she scolded: "Drag out those dogs who sell for glory and cut them down." β
That Prince Edward was captured by Ah San to the Qing army, I thought he would die, but I didn't expect that Ah San, who caught him, was arrested and cut down first, Prince Edward thought, could it be that the Qing army was afraid of my prestige in Great Britain and didn't dare to kill me?
After a short time, the two Qing soldiers dragged Prince Edward into the commander's camp and threw him on the ground, Prince Edward looked up, but saw a beautiful woman in armor sitting on the main seat.
The woman said a few words in Chinese, Prince Edward could not understand, and an interpreter asked Prince Edward: "The above asked you are the prince of England?" β
Although Prince Edward very much wanted to be the graceful and suave model of an English gentleman, it was a pity that he was now tied up like a big dumpling and thrown on the ground, and it was not easy to put any fan, so he had to answer honestly: "Yes." I can make the family pay the ransom. β
After a while, the interpreter spoke to the beautiful woman, and the interpreter said to Prince Edward, "The ransom you need to pay is yourself." β
Prince Edward was overjoyed when he heard this. I thought, sure enough, wherever the prince goes, there are women who stick it upside down, and the prince in distress is also a prince. It's just that what to do with the little Irish actor in Cairo, Egypt, the little woman is still waiting for herself. Forget it, that little actor's identity is not enough to be a lover at most, and she understands it herself.
Cixi checked that Prince Edward was in the right place, and said to the below: "Drag it out, send it to Jerusalem tomorrow, and put it to death with 3,000 knives." Sacrifice to the spirit of the first emperor in the sky. β
If it is an ordinary enemy general, at most it will be beheaded, but now the hatred between the British and the Qing court is not ordinarily big, if the Xianfeng Emperor died on the battlefield fighting the British army, it would be considered that the Xianfeng Emperor sought benevolence, but the Xianfeng Emperor was assassinated by the British, this nature is different, it is an unprecedented thing in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years - Lu Siniang's assassination of Yongzheng, Yongzheng's poisoning of Kangxi's ascendancy is a folk romance, and the words of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are not true.
The reason is that Yongzheng implemented the integration of the gentry into the mu to collect grain, which moved the cake of the gentry class. Therefore, all kinds of slanderous words against Yongzheng have emerged in an endless stream -- these are all written by cultural people.
This Prince Edward was born in the British royal family, and he is now the son of the Queen of England, and no one can say anything wrong with Prince Edward avenging Xianfeng. After all, in these years, rebellion is enough to punish the nine clans, and killing the king will be added to the crime.
The pursuit of the remnants of the enemy and the clearing of the battlefield were not over until the fourth day of the battle, by which time Prince Edward had been stabbed with more than 2,000 swords in the square of Jerusalem and was dyingβsince it was said that 3,000 swords would be put to death, if the prisoner died at the time of 2,900 swords, the executioner would pay for his life.
At first, Prince Edward thought that this was a punishment, and he simply threw out all kinds of secrets of the British royal family, what is hemophilia that is uncomfortable if you don't drink live human blood, and a certain virgin queen on his ancestors is actually intersex.
Then the interpreters around him reported it one by one, but the punishment of cutting the flesh did not stop at all, whenever Prince Edward fainted because of pain and blood loss, there were still people who poured medicine and water to keep his vitality alive and could take three thousand knives.
After a big battle, the Qing army captured more than 22,000 British soldiers, and more than 355,000 Ah San servants and Ah San Zhuangding. There were more than 87,000 strong men in Egypt. Annihilated more than 200,000 British troops on frontal battlefields and in pursuit. The Qing army itself was killed, and more than 25,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Manchurian Khan Hui Tibetan tribes were killed. More than 30,000 people were seriously injured and disabled. Minor injuries, in the number of 100,000.
Because the British army used evil weapons such as the Ahsan explosive pack for the first time on the battlefield, the exchange ratio of the Qing army to the British this time was surprisingly large. You must know that there are only 100,000 British troops in it, and most of them died on the battlefield, and most of the rest were caught by Ah San and wanted to change their future to the new master of the Qing army.
Regarding the more than 300,000 Ah San servants who were captured, Cixi asked Ci'an: "Sister, can you use these Ah San?" β
Ci'an shook his head: "Ah San, the three surnamed slaves, served in the Moore Dynasty in the past, and served Yingyi in the future, you can sell the master to me today, and he can also sell me for glory in the future." β
Cixi: "That's it. Let the following sell these Ah Sanfa, and it is also good to exchange some weapons for food and grass. β
Ci'an: "Sixth Uncle and we have captured so many Ah Sanhu soldiers, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell them for a good price." β
Cixi: "That's no way, it's not more expensive to raise, and no one wants these three-bearded soldiers to keep them as domestic slaves, but many of the British in the prisoner of war camp are willing to be housekeepers." β
At this time, someone reported: "The two queen mothers, the British prince Edward, were stabbed three thousand times and died." β
Ci'an: "Anyway, it's also a prince, so let's send the head back to the British." β
Cixi: "The head can be sent back, and the corpse will be burned and the bones will be scattered." β
Ci'an persuaded: "Sister, don't kill people too much. β
Cixi: "I know, it's just that the British royal family itself is not authentic, and it picked up the grave of Cromwell, the British protector back then......"
After hearing this, Ci'an said, "There are such things. β
