Although he didn't know why foreigners were so soft, Lu Shunde still admired the vision of the Holy King. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before the expedition, the Holy King appointed him as the chief general to capture the Jiangnan area. And told him not to be afraid of offending foreigners, and to squeeze the greatest benefits from foreigners. It seems that what the Holy King said is right, the foreigner, who has always been arrogant, really opened his mouth and surrendered!

Let Chen Tianshi lead the soldiers of the Eighth Division to rush into the French Concession and surround the Qing regiments that fled around the consulate.

In the western-style building of the consulate, the new governor of Jiangsu, Gil Hang'a, looked through the lattice glass window on the second floor of the western-style building, looking at the begging army outside surrounded by the western-style building of the consulate and several western-style buildings next to it, and muttered: "Damn the traitor, even the foreigners can't stop it!" ”

The less than 3,000 Qing soldiers downstairs are already the last big Qing soldiers in Shanghi. If you don't count the sailors led by Bo Chengsheng, the chief soldier of Langshan Town, who fled to the upper reaches of the Huangpu River, the nearly 10,000 Qing troops originally mobilized from the Jiangnan camp and the surrounding areas can almost be said to be completely annihilated.

Thinking of this, Gilhanga trembled. Finished! It's all over yourself!

I just asked someone to go around from the capital, and finally suggested to the emperor that I should be promoted to governor, which can be regarded as a big member. Unexpectedly, before I went to Suzhou Mansion City to sit in that position for a day, I finished playing in this Hi City!

It is the success that is also hi, and the defeat is also hi. Because of the rebels of the Little Knife Society, the original governor Xu Naizhao was taken down, and he had a chance to take the position, and it was also because of the rebels in the south that he had to explain here!

Yes! Just a moment ago, Gilhanga had already figured it out. Even if he wanted to run away, he didn't want to die, but reason told him that he had to pretend to be heroic against the enemy and die on the spot.

The tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court were about to capture Shanghai City, and they had already reported the good news in advance, but they didn't expect that it would be a sudden reversal in less than a day. The whole army was wiped out, as the governor, he would definitely not be able to escape this responsibility.

Thinking of this, Gilhanga couldn't help but envy Xu Naizhao, who was dismissed. If only he were governor, he would have taken all the sins away.

For the sake of the family, I don't want to die today.

"Come on, give Ben the whole army! The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is a time to use soldiers. At this moment, it is time for my Qing soldiers to be loyal to the country and serve the court! Gilhanga shouted high-sounding words, his legs trembled slightly, and he reluctantly went downstairs, and under the escort of his own soldiers, he summoned the Qing soldiers and set up a battle posture.

"The Qing demon soldiers inside listened bravely, Hu Songlin has been killed in battle, and the foreigners have surrendered! Division Commander Chen has an order, you can wait for the second stick of incense to abandon your weapons, walk out empty-handed and surrender, and you can avoid death. Otherwise, there will be no mercy! There was a burst of shouts from thousands of people at the same time, and the sound spread throughout the entire French Concession, and the two-story western-style building of the consulate was even more humming.

On the spot, some Qing soldiers were so frightened that their legs were weak, whispering, and the soldiers who were familiar with each other discussed.

When Gilhanga saw that the situation was not right, he immediately shouted: "Silence! Ben Fu personally supervised the battle, if anyone wants to surrender or escape, Ben Fu will not be spared! Kill a thief, reward ten taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to one level. ”

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of Qingyong had already pulled out their legs and ran out.

"Look for death!" Gilhanga's face turned pale, and he immediately ordered the shotgunners to shoot: "Fire, kill them!" ”

Bang bang

As soon as they saw that the shotgunners had already fired, more than 300 people threw away their knives and spears and ran out, and there were even dozens of shotgunners.

Gilhanga shouted angrily, and just wanted to lead the troops to block the soldiers who were about to go out and surrender, but unexpectedly, he was pushed by two guards and fell to the ground, and when he looked up again, he found that the two soldiers were also running out with hundreds of soldiers!

Bastard! Everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, and they want to surrender! Even his own soldiers ran away. What a damn one!

As the time of Erzhuxiang gets closer and closer, there are more and more surrendered Qing soldiers who run out.

After the two pillars of incense, Gilhanga looked at the remaining less than 400 soldiers around him, and wanted to cry without tears. The Great Qing is really going to die!

The soldiers who are willing to fight to the death for the court are almost gone.

It's just that Gilhanga doesn't want to think about it, if there is a choice, why wouldn't he surrender himself?

The soldiers of the captives had already gathered around, and Gilhanga finally raised his head, looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and felt that the sky was so beautiful for the first time!

He took a deep breath of the spring breeze with a hint of warmth, and grinned: "The warriors of the Qing Dynasty, follow the book to kill the thief!" Loyal to the country! After speaking, holding the waist knife, he rushed forward to kill first.

The Qing soldiers then rushed over.

This is a completely unequal rush. The soldiers who were less than 400 brave, holding swords and spears, rushed towards more than 4,000 soldiers and soldiers, which seemed a little ridiculous and a little tragic!

Only the sound of banging gunshots was heard, and more than eighty paces away from the foreign spearmen of the captive army, the four hundred charging soldiers not only fell, but formed a belt of corpses. As the corpses continued to pile up and get closer, the four hundred soldiers became smaller and smaller, and finally became dozens, several, and all fell.

Gilhanga was one of the first to fall. He was hit by the first round of foreign guns, covered in blood, with more than ten rounds of lead bullets in his body, but he did not die for a while, he was pressed by several corpses, unable to move, and moaned in pain all the time.

Subsequently, he was dragged out by several soldiers of the capture army and escorted to Chen Tianshi.

Chen Tianshi waved his hand and said, "Send this Manchu demon head into Shanghi City, and hand it over to Leader Xu Yao and Leader Pan Qiliang for disposal." ”

Lu Shunde next to him laughed: "This demon head is already dying, I hope to survive to the city and let those rebel leaders vent their evil anger!" Senior Commander Chen, the strength of your Eighth Division is getting stronger and stronger. ”

"Division Commander Lu, it's not thanks to the Saint King's training method, you know, since Guangzhou, our Eighth Division has realized how amazing the Saint King's training method is. I have been practicing. In addition, there are now more and more foreign guns and artillery configurations, not only have there been more than 1,000 Dresser needle fire guns, but also 20 30-pound retired front-loading smoothbore guns have not yet come in handy. This time to capture Shanghai City, the Holy King promised to allocate 1,000 foreign guns produced by the First Arsenal of Shaozhou to our Eighth Division. Chen Tianshi showed off triumphantly.

"You're beautiful! Unexpectedly, the First Arsenal will be able to produce its own foreign guns so soon! It's really good, our sailors still lack foreign guns to write melee combat, it seems that Lu also has to ask the Holy King for some points! Lu Shunde sighed.

"Haha, Master Lu, you have to line up slowly. I heard that now more than a dozen divisions are urging foreign guns with the Holy King, and they all want to be equipped with foreign guns. But the first arsenal has such a small output, and the supply exceeds demand! Chen Tianshi sighed.

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Shunde said with a straight face: "There is still a big problem that has not been solved." The Holy King just said not to be too polite to foreigners, and not to be afraid of fighting with foreigners. But what to do, I didn't teach Lao Lu. Brother Chen, what do you say should be done? ”

"Brother Lu, do you mean the British Concession? Briton? Seeing Lu Shunde nodded, Chen Tianshi thought for a while, and said: "The foreigners are all the same, anyway, the French are like this, and the British are the same, if they don't surrender, they will all be captured and sent to Guangzhou to be dealt with by the Holy King." ”

"Oh, that's right! Or Brother Chen thinks simply! We're all rough people, just fight. Let the Holy King deal with these troublesome things roughly. Lu Shunde laughed.

Subsequently, he ordered the soldiers of the capture army to cross Yangjingbang and march towards the British concession plot.

……

Inside the British Consulate in a central location within the concession.

Shanghi Consul Aliguo, who was still shivering with cold, remembered that he was thrown into the Huangpu River by the rebels from the south, and he was furious.

The British Minister to China on the side, Bao Ling, had a gloomy face and criticized Ali Guodao: "Ali Guo, you shouldn't be so impulsive to fight against those rebels!" Now you also know the situation, the British Empire and Russia are in the midst of a full-scale war in the Balkans, not only sending a large number of overseas soldiers, but also a lot of local troops, where are the troops to this remote Far East? It's all up to us. ”

"Sir, is it possible that my consul of the British Empire has been so humiliated by a gang of rebels, that it is not enough?" Ali Guo was indignant, "I am of noble blood in Great Britain, and I have to submit to the inferior yellow-skinned monkey, forgive me for not being able to do it!" ”

"Alas, Aliguo, you can't be patient for a while, and as soon as the Crimean War is over and the empire is free, let's ask the London Parliament to transfer troops, send a large number of troops to the Far East, and teach these rebels a hard lesson, isn't it?" Bao Ling had a gloomy face and said: "There is an ancient Chinese saying that a gentleman takes revenge, and it is not too late for ten years. We're going to be that gentleman, what's more, the Russians can last a year? Two years? It won't be long before troops can be sent to repair these damned rebels, make them pay a heavy price, or even wipe them out completely! ”

Aliko: "Sir, do you mean to give in and surrender to them for the time being, as they say?" ”

Bao Ling pretended to look outside the consulate and did not answer. It's just that Ali Guo has understood what he meant.

"Humph! I refused to come forward because of my good face, but I asked Ah Liguo to come forward to admit the defeat of Great Britain and surrender these yellow-skinned monkeys in humiliation! Ali Guo secretly slandered Bao Ling in his heart, and while going out to summon the Vice-Consul Wei Tuma, he asked him to lead the soldiers stationed in Shanghi to surrender to the captive army on behalf of the British Empire.

"Lao Tzu is not affected by that evil spirit!" Ali Guo thought hatefully: "No, whether or not reinforcements can be sent, I have to report this to London!" These rebels, one day, I, Ali Guo, will double this shame. ”
