The Seven-Nation Coalition came in a mighty way, but in the end it ended in failure. After the war, the Yejiabao army counted that the enemy suffered more than 30,000 casualties and less than 40,000 escaped.

It can be said that in this battle, the Seven-Nation Alliance did not gain anything, but lost half of its troops. As for the military expenditure of the army, it is even more impossible to estimate.

However, as the attacked party, the Yejiabao army also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties in this battle. Although a lot of materials were seized, including no less than 30,000 muskets and more than 200 cannons, there was not much gunpowder.

Although the Yejiabao army was victorious, compared with the gains and losses, Ye Shaolong still felt that it was a loss.

For this battle, Yejiabao directly transferred all the people to Baoding City, which lasted for a month. Although it is not long, it can lead to a large number of abandoned farmland in this quarter.

The lives of the people have also been greatly affected, and the most important thing for Ye Shaolong is the territory. After the victory of the Yejiabao army, there was no expansion, and it could still only occupy these cities.

Looking at the Netherlands, the partner, after the defeat of the Seven-Nation Alliance, their status among foreigners will inevitably rise to a higher level. If Shaolong had not made an error in his estimation, the Dutch army would have been a well-deserved boss in the Qing Dynasty in the future.

There are no forces to contend with, including the Seven-Nation Alliance, which has now been defeated, and even if they are still united, they must not be the opponent of the Netherlands.

Ye Shaolong felt that he had suffered a loss, Li Chengke and others also agreed, and Su Can even proposed to ask for benefits from the Dutch side, and he wanted it ruthlessly.

Indeed, if Ye Shaolong wants to benefit in front of him, he can only reach out to the Dutch side. But is the Dutch, who has become the strongest, willing to give itself the advantage of this potential enemy?

The obvious answer is that the Dutch will not do themselves any favors, on the contrary, they are likely to take advantage of themselves.

Several people gathered in the lobby to discuss hotly, when suddenly, a sergeant hurriedly came in and said, "Sir, the envoy of Witty is asking to see you outside." ”

"Werther, hmph, say Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive, bring him in." Ye Shaolong sneered in his heart, this Werther is too anxious, now that he has just finished the battle, is he going to have a showdown with himself?

Soon, Witt entered the lobby under the leadership of the sergeant, and the first time he saw Ye Shaolong, he laughed: "Ye Shuai's Yejiabao army is really powerful, and the Seven Nations Alliance Army is not your opponent at all." ”

In the face of Werther's compliment, Ye Shaolong also greeted him with a smile, and said modestly: "Mr. Werther praised, my Yejiabao army also suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the Seven Nations Alliance still has some strength." ”

Witt responded twice, and then looked at the other people in the lobby with a sad face, as if they had something to say but it was inconvenient.

Ye Shaolong sneered in his heart, and said generously: "Mr. Witt has something to say, all of you here are your own people, and there is nothing they can't know." ”

Witt frowned, but he didn't dwell on it too much, but after a moment of consideration, he said: "Here's the thing, just now I received a message from General Ste Haoran, because this time I sent troops to intercept the navies of the Seven Nations, our Dutch navy is still staying in the open sea. I don't know if we can borrow Tianjin Port from Ye Shuai, and let us rest there for a few days and a half months. ”

If it was when the Seven Nations Alliance was undefeated before, Ye Shaolong would have agreed to Werther's request without even thinking about it. But now, he's naturally more mindful.

The Seven-Nation Coalition had already been defeated, and the Dutch side did not need to stay in the port of Tientsin at all. As for the rest and recuperation, it is even more ridiculous, even the enemy is gone, and the whole fart is rested, isn't it better to go back directly!

Obviously, the Netherlands has begun to play Ye Shaolong's idea, Ye Shaolong naturally will not let him get his wish, haha said with a smile: "There was no problem for your army to borrow Tianjin Port, but now we are not stable internally. Shu Ye can't agree to your request, and Tianjin Port can't lend it to you. ”

Ye Shaolong's tone was not negotiable, and he directly rejected Werther's request.

Werther, who was still smiling, immediately pulled down his face: "Didn't Ye Shuai even agree to such a small request?" In any case, without our help this time, you would not have been able to defeat the Seven Nation Alliance so quickly. ”

Ye Shaolong sneered: "I can understand that you are asking me for credit now?" ”

Ye Shaolong's fierce eyes sparked directly on Werther's face, and the murderous aura in it was undisguised.

Witt was slightly stunned, but he didn't flinch at all, and directly pushed back: "If you understand it like this, then I have nothing to say." ”

Ye Shaolong put away the murderous aura in his eyes, picked up the teacup and snorted coldly: "Since this is the case, we have nothing to talk about, come here, send off guests!" ”

"You ......"

Witt didn't expect Ye Shaolong to be so strong, and he couldn't discuss it at all.

"Okay, you don't regret it." After some hesitation, Witt threw down a threatening remark, then turned and walked away.

After Werther left, Li Cheng said worriedly: "Marshal, will we be too anxious to turn against the Dutch side now." ”

Ye Shaolong shook his head and said: "The Netherlands has not really cooperated with us from the beginning, and they are the one who wins or loses in this cooperation, no matter who wins or loses in the end." Now that we have won, they have made more profits, but the wolf is still a wolf, and they can't be fed no matter how much they are fed. ”

Su Can laughed when he heard this: "I agree with this, his grandmother's, Lao Tzu has long been unaccustomed to them." ”

Ye Shaolong suddenly turned to look at Su Can, and choked Su Can, who was originally smiling boldly, almost out of breath. Thinking that he had said the wrong thing again, Su Can suddenly felt a little apprehensive.

Ye Shaolong said: "The Netherlands wants Tianjin Port under the pretext of this time, obviously there is something greasy in it, just in case." Brother Su, you still lead the troops back to garrison overnight to prevent the Netherlands from fighting directly. ”

Su Can breathed a sigh of relief, and said boldly: "No problem, as long as the Netherlands dare to step into Tianjin Port for half a step, I guarantee that they will not return." ”

Ye Shaolong nodded: "Then it's hard for Brother Su." ”

Su Can didn't say anything more, and then retreated after clasping his fists and saluting.

Ye Shaolong looked at Li Chengke and said, "Brother Li, the capital is still guarded by you, and 20,000 soldiers and horses are left for you to prevent the defeated Seven Nations Alliance from attacking. ”

Li Chengke immediately received the order.

The capital is still not sure to be completely safe, and the Seven-Nation Alliance still has almost 40,000 troops left in Zhangjiakou, ready to call again at any time.

Ye Shaolong left himself with 20,000 troops, which was just enough to completely hold the capital, and as for the battle, he was exempted.
