However, they were pointed at by nearly 100 reconnaissance battalions with muskets, and these skilled eunuchs probably knew the power of the muskets and did not dare to move. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion did not take the initiative to attack, and while sending people to report, they shouted loudly, ordering these eunuchs to kneel and surrender.

Yan Chong seemed to recognize the person headed by the skilled eunuch, and shouted: "Ren Liang, you are so daring, you dare to stop the heavenly soldiers of the Holy Kingdom!" Don't you want to live, hurry up and take these eunuchs to retreat, kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, maybe I can spare you a dog's life! ”

He Lu naturally knew that although this Yan Chong was scolding fiercely, he was really helping these eunuchs, fifty or so eunuchs with knives and wooden sticks, if it weren't for the Holy King's order not to shoot with muskets, I was afraid that they would have already become dead.

However, the leader of the eunuch named Ren Liang was still not interested, and when he saw that Yan Chong also recognized him, he was furious and scolded: "Yan Chong, as a banner man, you are favored by the emperor, and you are in the position of the Lang of Qichun Garden, you don't want to be loyal to the monarch and fight bravely to kill the thief, but instead take refuge in the thief soldiers, you are really a disciple who betrays your ancestors, it is very hateful!" ”

Yan Chong was scolded to the sore spot, and couldn't help but be angry, I wanted to be good for you, I wanted to save your life, but I didn't expect that there would be no difference between good and bad, and it would be up to you to find death. He retorted: "Ren Liang, I am calling those who know the times to be Junjie. Holy Heavenly Soldiers, who can stop it? After the Qing Dynasty is over, can't we all bury it? Besides, am I still forced to become a Manchurian? ”

He stared at the leader of the eunuchs in his forties and shouted: "On the contrary, you, as a Han Chinese, are willing to be a slave!" was castrated by the Manchurians, his body was incomplete, and his mind was not even complete, and he had been a slave for a long time, and he still wanted to accompany the Qing Dynasty to be martyred? The Heavenly Soldiers of the Holy Kingdom came to save you Han people who were forced to be slaves, and even the Manqi people fled, but you are Han people, but you still have to stop your benefactors, it can really be said that there is no distinction between right and wrong, and there is no distinction between envy and hatred! ”

When He Lu heard that these eunuchs were all Han, he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "Bastard, it turns out that these eunuchs are all Han Chinese, even your masters have fled, run away, and even surrender to my holy country, you stubborn minions are still trying to stop us from fighting for the army, I am really angry!" Come on, give them three breaths, don't put down their weapons and surrender, and kill them on the spot! ”

As soon as the words fell, Ren Liang, the leader of the eunuchs, led the eunuchs behind him to wave the knife and stick and slash over, only to hear a dense burst of gunfire sound, more than 30 eunuchs did not get close, they were like a screen, blood flowed all over the ground, and more than ten eunuchs were so frightened that they hid aside, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy: "The military master spares his life!" We will surrender! ”

He Lu ordered people to tie up all these eunuchs who surrendered and escort them to the gate of the palace for centralized care. After cleaning and inspecting the scene, and when everything was safe, Feng Yunshan, who was protected by the guards of the captive army, was invited to come forward and talk about what happened just now.

After Feng Yunshan understood what had happened, he was also very angry, and he couldn't imagine that these eunuchs were already servile to the bones. There are also those civil officials in the court, I don't know how many will be willing to die for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, thinking that they will be loyal to the monarch and serve the country. For this group of people, there is no need to be merciful, if you can't say it, you have to be ruthless and kill a group, there is no need to awaken the already numb national spirit.

The matter was over, and the 4,000 soldiers who were originally sent to search in the Old Summer Palace came to report separately, and the three gardens of the entire Old Summer Palace had all been carefully searched, except for the soldiers and eunuchs who were specially hiding in a certain attic or secret passage, the major threats had been eliminated.

According to the accounts of the search soldiers, in the Changchun Garden, more than 300 soldiers who had not yet escaped were found to have been killed, and the remaining 200 people all knelt down and surrendered, and had been escorted to Dagongmen Square for unified detention.

In Qichun Garden, the minister in charge of the Old Summer Palace was found, but the guy was so tough that he was unwilling to surrender and committed suicide. The more than 100 eunuchs and dozens of guards who followed him were also traitors and traitors.

More than 30 eunuchs actually committed suicide by throwing themselves into the lake in order to be loyal to the Manchu Dynasty, and among the dozens of guards, more than 10 Mongolian guards who were not Manchus were all killed in battle, but more than 30 Manchu flag guards, except for a few people who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty and committed suicide, the rest of the 30 or so people all surrendered on their knees, all of them said that they were willing to return to the Holy Country, and searched for other Qing soldiers hiding in the garden for the captive army and led the way to find treasures.

Feng Yunshan didn't know whether he was happy or uncomfortable after hearing this, and he was full of emotion.

With these traitors leading the way, the Qing soldiers and eunuchs hiding in the Old Summer Palace were searched. The entire Old Summer Palace can be regarded as completely occupied.

However, just in case, Feng Yunshan still ordered to be stationed in the park in sections and carry out patrols to prevent the missing Qing demons and eunuchs from destroying the garden, and at the same time, let the regiment commanders and battalion commanders explain well, strictly enforce military discipline, and prohibit any captured soldiers from stealing the treasures in the garden without permission. Once discovered, severe punishment will not be granted.

Unconsciously, Feng Yunshan felt that he was hungry, only to realize that it was in the afternoon, but they hadn't even finished the Old Summer Palace, one of the three gardens. Feng Yunshan simply stopped walking, there were too many treasures in this garden, and he was afraid that even if he looked at it for two more days and two nights, it would be difficult to finish it.

Moreover, now that these treasures are under their control, they are not afraid of them flying. Moreover, I have seen too many of these rare treasures, which makes me have the illusion that with these treasures, I can own the world and indulge in them, which is not a good thing.

As a result, Feng Yunshan forcibly interrupted his plan to continue watching the Old Summer Palace. Now that he has led his troops to control the Old Summer Palace, there is no need to spend his mind here. The focus is on how to occupy the city of Beijing, take advantage of Xianfeng's flight north, and expand its influence and results.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan couldn't help but look forward to Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang being able to lead the troops to capture Xianfeng, if so, then it would be the best, maybe coercing Xianfeng to surrender, not to mention passing on the throne himself, even if the Manchu nobles abandoned him, at least he could use him as a trump card to threaten the Manchus.

However, Feng Yunshan also knew that this kind of thing depended on luck, after all, the Qing army was all cavalry, and if he wanted to escape, it would be difficult to capture it without a large-scale cavalry army.

At this time, more than 2,000 sailors of the 10th and 5th Divisions also arrived in the Old Summer Palace. The East Lake and Houhu Lake of the Old Summer Palace, as well as the West Lake of the Changchun Garden, are not only connected to each other, but also connected to the Qinghe River.

The waters in the park are vast. In particular, the East Lake, also called Fuhai, is five or six hundred meters wide from east to west, north and south, plus the surrounding small waters, a total of about hundreds of acres of square circle, larger than the water surface of Beihai Park in later generations, it is a huge lake.

Feng Yunshan simply ordered that all the gates of the Old Summer Palace be closed, and all personnel entering and exiting should be changed to waterways. And he also sent the palace guards, together with ten people from each division, to take turns to guard several water village gates, and strictly check the ships entering and leaving, so as to control the traffic between the entire garden and the outside, and prevent anyone from secretly transporting the treasures in the garden.

However, before leaving the Old Summer Palace, Feng Yunshan sent someone to inform Huang Yukun, Minister of Justice, and Zhou Shengfu, director of the Logistics Division of the General Staff, to come to the Old Summer Palace to count all the treasures and property, and to establish accounts and register all the treasures in the park. On the one hand, Feng Yunshan wanted to know how much wealth there was in this garden, and on the other hand, it was also easy to manage and avoid loss.

He knew that these treasures, even if they belonged to him now, were only for a few decades. In a few years, perhaps these treasures will go to someone else, or even to the whole nation in the near future. But in the final analysis, these are the treasures of the entire Chinese nation, the treasures handed down by the ancestors of the past dynasties, and the wealth that should ultimately belong to the entire Chinese nation.

As for the wealth value of the entire Old Summer Palace, Feng Yunshan is really difficult to estimate. Not to mention these gardens that occupy a radius of four kilometers, these garden buildings, pavilions and pavilions alone are the results of the Manchu royal family for hundreds of years and tens of thousands of people who have been building continuously, and these houses are already worthless. As for the treasures in the garden as decorations, Feng Yunshan also knew that it was a huge wealth that was difficult to estimate, and if it was really sold by the Manchu Emperor, he was afraid that he would not be unable to pay his soldiers.

The 3,000 Lu Division and the 2,000 Shui Division soldiers were left on duty in the Old Summer Palace, and Feng Yunshan, He Lu and others left directly from the Qichun Garden at the southern end. As soon as he came out, he met a team of fast horses, but it was a messenger sent by Zuo Zongtang to report to Feng Yunshan: The Qing demon head left behind in Beijing - Prince Gong? Request negotiations.
