When Dong Fuxiang's so-called Qing army retreated, he went south with torches, so the Huaxia army saw it clearly and immediately dispatched, and hundreds of cavalry rushed to the camp of the coalition army and intercepted all the wounded soldiers of the coalition army: "Stop, who are you." ”

The officers and soldiers of the coalition army have been frightened, known as the world's first naval power and army power, a strong alliance, and an army of more than 2,000 people, were actually destroyed by the Qing army that they rescued.

"We are a coalition of Britain and France."

"Ah, then, what just happened." The cavalry of the Huaxia army pretended to be surprised,

"Yes, we have been attacked vilely." The British commander, Lieutenant Colonel Davy, who survived the catastrophe, was filled with righteous indignation,

Huaxia Army said that he was not here to rescue, because the British and French troops blocked their troops and saved their enemies, so they were very angry, but for the sake of Shanghai's safety, they took the initiative to ask, and after asking, they immediately turned around and left.

"Don't go, don't go, please, help us." Lieutenant Colonel David pleaded,

"No, there is no rescue relationship between you and us, you have helped our enemies, and you deserve it, because they are Qing troops, but they are also a force composed of bandits, and you want to rescue yourself, what does it have to do with us."

The officers and soldiers of Huaxia Tian**, tried their best to sneer and sarcastically, and made the British quite embarrassed, the current British are no longer upright coalition forces, most of them have been killed, and the rest are almost all wounded soldiers, not only need treatment, but also need protection, David is worried that the barbaric bandits will come back, in that case, their 2,000 coalition troops, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out,

"Please, we will not forget your help." David said a lot of good things,

The cavalry of the Huaxia Army finally relented and decided to help them, "For the sake of mankind, we provide humanitarian aid." ”

The officers and men of the Huaxia Army brought the wounded and sick of the coalition forces to their barracks, bandaged their wounds for free, provided them with hot water, cleaned their wounds, and provided food and tents so that they could survive, so Lieutenant Colonel David was extremely grateful and almost burst into tears: "The style of your army excites me. ”

The next day, after Luo Yang "heard" the news, he immediately led some officers and soldiers to come to offer condolences, visited Lieutenant Colonel David, shook his hand, and praised their humanitarian spirit: "Although you were bitten by the Qing army, although you saved our enemies, which made me very angry, your humanitarian spirit impressed this king." ”

Lieutenant Colonel David was both grateful and ashamed, and almost shoved his head into his crotch,

Hua Xia Tian** provided generous assistance to these remnants of the coalition army to give a good reception, and at the same time, sent men to inform the British and French consuls in Shanghai City, these guys also immediately rushed to visit their own soldiers, but when they saw that the more than 2,000 elites they relied on were actually so pitiful and pitiful, they were surprised,

There is no need for Luo Yang to tell, David and other surviving officers and soldiers talked about how the Qing army was ungrateful, how the Huaxia army rescued, etc., and told the consuls of the two countries, and the consuls of the two countries could only hurry up to express their gratitude to Luo Yang.

"It doesn't matter, this is enough to prove that our army is a righteous army, and at the same time, it also expresses our army's expectation for peace in your country."

Hua Xia Tian** escorted the remnants of more than 100 coalition forces to the hospital in the city, where the British and French would deal with it, and then, they communicated with the consuls of the two countries and held a meeting.

"First of all, thank you for your help to us, thank you very much." The diplomats of Britain and France are still quite self-contained.

"It doesn't matter, we are also very grateful to all of you for your kindness and good human spirit." Luo Yang said, "The incident is too unexpected, even we would never have imagined that the Qing army would make such a move." ”

The words of the remnants of the coalition officers and soldiers have already made everyone understand the situation, and the British consul is quite puzzled: "Why would the Qing army attack us, this is illogical." ”

Luo Yang smiled: "The poor man is angry and unscrupulous. ”

The French consul strongly agreed, and after the disastrous defeat of the Qing army, it became angry and lost the spirit of an army and became a bandit.

After chatting for a while, Luo Yang brought the topic to bilateral relations and proposed: "Our army quickly defeated the Qing army, and the Qing army has tens of thousands of people wandering around, and these people have become thieves, which will seriously disrupt the local order. Luo Yang also told these two how his army swept away the main force of the Qing army in Shanghai and Nanjing, and they were amazed for a while, although they had long known the defeat of the Qing army, but they did not know that the defeat of the Qing army was so miserable, and the achievements of Huaxia Tian** were so brilliant,

The British consul was not a vegetarian, and immediately thought of it: "You have large-caliber heavy artillery, so you have achieved a brilliant victory, then, this time the Qing army attacking our coalition army, listening to the officers and soldiers, also has a lot of large-caliber artillery." ”

Luo Yang Chengzhu in his chest: "This kind of large-caliber cannon is extremely easy to imitate, so we are worried about your safety, not to mention the defeated soldiers of the Qing army, even ordinary thieves have developed this kind of weapon, which will pose a major threat to us, as for the expatriates and merchant ships of your country, not to mention it." ”

Luo Yang's words made the two consuls quite worried, they asked for a way, Luo Yang suggested, quickly negotiate, establish a linkage mechanism, showing a strong desire to negotiate cooperation with Britain and France,

"Very good, very good, we will report back to China immediately." The two consuls said excitedly,

Luo Yang took the opportunity to ask for the import of machinery, weapons, etc. from these two countries, and guaranteed that his army, within his own territory, was willing to provide protection for the safety of the commercial traders and expatriates of the two countries, "If we cooperate, our territory in the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom will be fully open to the foreign powers." ”

In order to impress the consuls of Britain and France, Luo Yang said a lot of sweet words, but there was one thing that he said very clearly: "We, the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, absolutely guarantee that we will open the country to a greater extent, communicate with the great powers, do business, economic exchanges, expand import and export trade, and achieve mutual benefit and reciprocity, and will definitely not be as closed and conservative as the Manchu government, we must carry out political reforms and learn from the positive contents of the system from the great powers." ”

"Ah, really." The consuls of the two countries were incredulous,

At that time, after many setbacks, the Manchu government began to open up to the outside world with doubts, so that the powers, especially Britain and France, were more satisfied.

Luo Yang further said: "As long as the governments of the two countries can support me and support the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, then we guarantee that in the coming days, we will be able to provide sufficient markets and raw materials to support your industrialization, and we will be able to form a very close relationship with the two countries." ”

Luo Yang's attitude was so open-minded that the two consuls were pleasantly surprised again, and they almost said in unison: "Okay." ”
