Chapter Eighty-Three: Destroying the Treaty with Falsehood and Truth
Hong Renkong's voice fell, Guan Fu and Shi Dakai were stunned together, and then their eyes lit up, and Guan Fu said excitedly: "But according to the commander's orders, do your best." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Dakai, do you remember the Qing soldiers' clothes I asked you to collect during the Jintian Uprising?"
"Remember, there are thousands of them! Boss, what are you? Shi Dakai was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly shook his whole body, and suddenly said: "Boss, are you trying to prevent the signing of the Nanjing Treaty?" ”
"I know that I know Mo Ruodakai!" Hong Renkong laughed, but Guan Fu was a military general after all, and his wisdom was not his forte, so he hadn't reacted for a while.
"Commander Guan, that's the case, I want to assign 3,000 soldiers to you, and you collectively put on Qing soldier uniforms, and these 3,000 soldiers are better brothers who have been Qing soldiers, and go to Nanjing to prevent the signing of the Nanjing Treaty."
Hearing this, Guan Fu came to his senses and praised: "The commander has a good plan, and his subordinates obey orders." ”
"But boss, paper can't keep the fire, and the Qing court and the British will definitely know that we did it in the end, wouldn't it lead to the water on themselves!" After Shi Dakai was excited, he calmly analyzed.
"What Da Kai said is true, but this is exactly why I asked you to stay in Guiping and Pingnan counties without rushing to the Northern Expedition."
"Now, on the one hand, our Taiping Army is still very weak in the eyes of the Qing court, and we have not clearly established our own country, so we are insignificant in the eyes of the Qing court and the British.
On the other hand, the British were concerned about China's gold, silver and territory, and they wished that the Qing Dynasty would take the initiative to provoke them, and they would also have a few mouths to go to war against the Qing Dynasty, so as to obtain greater benefits, so our trip could not only prevent the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing, but also not cause trouble.
And the most ideal thing is that this trip can force the Qing Dynasty to fight the main war and fight with the British, instead of the main peace, and the humiliated body is incomplete. ”
"The boss is reasonable!" Shi Dakai nodded, feeling that Hong Renkong's plan was feasible, and Guan Fu naturally nodded again and again, just waiting for Hong Renkong's order.
"Then it's decided, in addition, although this matter can't be hidden for long, it is also to make the misunderstanding between the Qing Dynasty and Britain as deep as possible, in addition, this raid should be quick and sudden, so that they will be caught off guard and withdraw after the fight." Hong Renkong continued to explain a few words, and Guan Fu immediately led people to rush away.
……
Two days later, on the flagship Gorgeous on the river in Xiaguan, Nanjing.
General Sheng Jing's face was a little bad, extremely bad, and the reason was that the paper in front of him was only a few inches in size.
Although he is not a particularly loyal and patriotic minister, he also has a sense of national pride and honor, and he does not want his motherland to be damaged, nor does he want to see his nation exploited and humiliated.
However, it was this small piece of paper, a small treaty, and his heart was on fire, full of humiliation and helplessness.
"Cession of Hong Kong Island, compensation of 21 million, opening of several important treaty ports, and agreement between the two countries on tariff ...... British goods" This unreasonable demand, one by one, made Qiying feel sorry for himself.
As an old man in the officialdom, Qi Ying's talent is by no means covered, and once this treaty is signed, he knows what it means.
It means that the independence and territorial integrity of the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed, and the burden on the people of the Qing Dynasty will become heavier.
Facing Pu Dingcha's gaze, the pen Qi Ying picked up was trembling, his heart was also dripping blood, if it was possible, how he wanted to stop immediately and stop the signing of this humiliating treaty!
At this moment, this amount is like a thousand catties, and every point of Qi Ying's movement seems extremely slow, he knows that with this pen, he is a sinner through the ages, he is a traitor, what Shengjing general, what minister of Qincha, all will become illusory in an instant.
He regretted a little, regretted his own peace, he also had some resentment, he resented the meanness of the British and the incompetence of the emperor Daoguang, if he was given another chance to choose, he would rather personally persuade someone to lead the war, than sign an unequal treaty in such a humiliating way.
"Mr. Qiying, don't you want to regret it?" Just when Qi Ying was struggling, Pu Ding Cha suddenly shouted, and when his words fell, more than a dozen black holes gathered on Qi Ying's head in an instant.
The aura of slaughter fills the entire flagship.
Qi Ying smiled bitterly, he knew that he was forced to a dead end, and now he had to sign, those black holes, although they were rare in the Qing Dynasty, but Qi Ying naturally knew what it was, it was a foreign gun, which could end his life in an instant.
Ulantai next to him, although his martial arts are strong, but at this moment, he is not useful at all, and he has already been surrounded by more than a dozen gunners with foreign guns.
Qiying was silent for a moment, as if she had exhausted her life's strength, and said, "I'll sign." ”
"My lord......" Ulantai shouted in despair, watching as Qiying slowly signed his name on the treaty and stamped his seal.
The Treaty of Nanjing, thus signed, began the history of humiliation in China.
Dragging his tired body, the ridicule and ridicule of the Englishman echoed in his ears, Qiying left the flagship with the support of Ulantai, and slowly walked towards the capital, no matter what, he always had to go to his life, even if he became a sinner for the ages.
When the Treaty of Nanking was signed, the British were on their toes, and the flagships were full of cheers, and they marched towards their headquarters.
And just when they were most carried away, suddenly a soldier broke into the flagship and panicked: "Report, we have been attacked." ”
"Attack? Who is it? Pu Dingcha looked surprised, he didn't bring many soldiers on this trip, only about twenty people, but he was not worried, because they had advanced guns, and these Qing Dynasty people who were outdated in their eyes were just primitive barbarians, who would only fight with big swords and spears, plus the Qing court was afraid of Britain and would not provoke the British, so he was not worried at all.
"Who is it?"
"I don't know, but judging by their clothing, they look like Qing soldiers."
"Qing Bing?" Pu Ding Cha was stunned, he thought he had met a pirate! shouted: "Don't panic, stop them." ”
"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper! It can't be stopped, the enemy's fire is too fierce, and our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and they can't stop the enemy's fire. ”
"Fack" Pu Dingcha couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and asked: "Although they also have guns, they don't have many guns, how can they ......?"
Bang!
Before Pu Ding had finished speaking, a bullet suddenly flew in and knocked down an Englishman beside him, and when he raised his head in panic, a group of men dressed as Qing soldiers had already rushed over and disarmed the six or seven people they still had left.
"You, who are you?" Pu Ding Cha was shocked, but although he had a rich expression, he spoke English, and no one was birding him, and one of the men even slapped him.
Syllable! A handprint clearly appeared on Pu Dingcha's face.
"Good boy, Commander...... Lord Qiying really didn't lie, this gun is powerful, these foreign devils, don't think that you have a gun. Someone spoke.
Someone else picked up the gun seized from the British and said with a smile: "This foreign gun is nothing more than that!" It's not as powerful as our Qing Dynasty. ”
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let them hand over the Treaty of Nanjing." A person who seemed to be the leader of this group of Qing soldiers spoke, and suddenly several people searched out the Nanjing Treaty on Pu Dingcha's body.
The leader took the treaty of Nanjing, smiled, ignored these foreign devils, talked for a while, and strode away with foreign guns.
After a long time, Pu Dingcha finally came back to his senses, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked at a translator beside him, and shouted, "What did they just say?" ”
The interpreter also recovered from the shock, and said tremblingly: "They say that they are Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers, but they are the emperor's personal faction of the Qing Dynasty, and they also say that they are powerful in the Qing Dynasty and have the method of making guns, so they will not negotiate peace with our Britain, and this peace negotiation is just a scam......
"Yay! These damned Qing Dynasty people, I, we are going to continue the war. Pu Ding Cha roared, and the sound echoed on the surface of the river, causing ripples on the calm water.
