Fuhai, Penglai Yao Pond, the morning is full of fog, and it is like a fairyland.

Li Weiguo admitted that he was fascinated by this place, and lived here with Su Sanniang for several days, enjoying the feeling of a fairy couple.

Early in the morning, Zhuang Jiuxia came to report to Li Weiguo, and Chen Jingnan came to ask for a meeting.

Li Weiguo didn't want to get up, and wanted to continue to linger with his beautiful wife in the bed, but he was kicked out of the bed by Su Sanniang.

"Don't go quickly, don't let others think that it's someone else's fault that you don't get up!"

"I'm used to you, and I dare to kick my husband out of the bed at every turn!" Li Weiguo pretended to be angry and said.

Su Sanniang suddenly said coquettishly: "What did you say? Do you have the ability to say it again? Still want to go to my bed? ”

"I was wrong! I was wrong! ”

Li Weiguo immediately forgive, of course, for his future sexual well-being.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Li Weiguo deliberately met Chen Jingnan here, wanting to feel the emperor Fan.

Chen Jingnan asked with a smile: "Lord, the dragon chair here is definitely not as comfortable as the dragon chair on the Jinluan Hall in the Forbidden City, why don't your subordinates accompany you on a trip?" ”

Li Weiguo suddenly guessed what Chen Jingnan meant, and said with a smile: "Do you want to enter Beijing City?" ”

Chen Jingnan nodded and said, "If you want to test the reaction of the imperial court, your subordinates feel that now is the best time to occupy Beijing." ”

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said, "Not all the civil and military officials are in Beijing. ”

Chen Jingnan said with a smile: "But their families are all in Beijing, except for the Sushun faction and the Manchu ministers, who cannot submit to the lord, the other Hanchen will still look at it." ”

"Is there any movement over there in Xianfeng?" Li Weiguo's fingers kept tapping on the table, weighing the pros and cons.

Chen Jingnan replied: "Xianfeng heard that the Old Summer Palace was occupied and looted by the British and French forces, and he immediately vomited blood. ”

"Xianfeng is dying, then give him another ride, let's go to Beijing." When he heard that, it was time for him to braid. Li Weiguo suddenly smiled.

"The lord is wise, and his subordinates will order the first and fifth towns to enter the city of Beijing." Chen Jingnan paused and continued to ask: "However, our army has captured more than 5,000 British and French troops, including the British commander Scott and the French commander Bronsi, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Weiguo thought for a moment. said: "The Anglo-French forces on land have basically been wiped out by us, but they still have a strong naval fleet, and we can't do anything about them." I believe that it is impossible for them to draw troops to land and fight again, and I think this war should also end. ”

Chen Jingnan said: "The Lord wants to end this war? However, according to the will of his subordinates, the lord can hold it off, and use the confrontation against the British and French forces as an excuse, so that our army can take the opportunity to stay in the Gyeonggi area of Zhili and control the imperial court. ”

Li Weiguo said with a smile: "If you want to control the imperial court, you don't need to use the British and French alliance as an excuse, after this battle." 30,000 British and French troops defeated 300,000 Qing troops, and our Shanghai army wiped out 200,000 British and French troops. Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, they didn't have time to hide from us, and the governors of other provinces didn't have that guts. ”

Chen Jingnan asked rhetorically: "But after all, the imperial court occupies the righteousness!" ”

Li Weiguo snorted coldly and said, "Xianfeng will have braids immediately." With his hatred for me, before he died, he would definitely let Su Shun and other ministers assist the young prince to ascend the throne. Yixin was demoted, and Concubine Lan heard that she had been beaten into the cold palace by Xianfeng, and they would definitely launch a coup d'état, so we could take the opportunity to participate in it, and then blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

Chen Jingnan frowned and said, "Doesn't the Lord want to replace him?" ”

Li Weiguo said: "It's not that I don't want to, but Li Hongzao reminded me." Throw a frog into the boiling water and it will jump out and splash you with blood. But if you put the frog in warm water and boil it slowly, then the frog will honestly wait for death. ”

"What the Lord says is true!" Chen Jingnan is a smart person, and he immediately understood what Li Weiguo meant. At the same time, I also admired Li Hongzao's insight.

Li Weiguo continued: "As for the issue of the Anglo-French alliance, if you send someone to inform them, you will say that it is time to sit down and have a good talk. Order the first town to enter Beijing, and the fifth town to recover Tianjin, the British and French forces are not much left, and they should fight quickly, and do not let them harm the common people. ”

Chen Jingnan received the order and quickly went down to arrange.

At this time, Su Sanniang had already finished dressing up and came to see Li Weiguo, and her tall figure was even more charming after being moisturized by Li Weiguo.

"You've never dressed up for so long!"

"Not to satisfy your eyes yet! How, are people beautiful today? ”

From a female man to a lady, Li Weiguo feels that he has a sense of accomplishment and has successfully trained.

"Beautiful! Let's go, I'll wait for you to go around the Forbidden City! ”

Li Weiguo pulled Su Sanniang out of the Old Summer Palace, and before leaving, he kept looking back at this magnificent royal garden, a little reluctant.

The Old Summer Palace has been completely preserved, which is not only the property of Li Weiguo, but also the property of all Chinese people.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon!"

Li Weiguo laughed, he was in a very happy mood, and hugged Su Sanniang and kissed her, which made her feel embarrassed.

The first town of the Shanghai army arrived at the east gate of Beijing, and the Qing army defending the city saw the dress of the Shanghai army for the first time, thinking that the British and French troops had arrived.

The Shanghai army then easily occupied the Dongbian Gate, and then the officers and soldiers of the town entered from the outer city and drove towards the nine gates of the inner city.

Chen Jingnan is very experienced, after the Shanghai army entered the outer city, he immediately began to release the list of Anmin, indicating his identity, it was the Shanghai army under the rule of Li Weiguo, the governor of Liangjiang, who entered Beijing and drove away the British and French forces, so that the people should not panic and not be chaotic.

The outer cities are all places where ordinary people live, and the security was poor in the past, and the recent news of the approach of the British and French forces to Beijing has already frightened the common people, and many of them have fled with their families. Some ruffians and hooligans were preparing to take advantage of the fire to rob, bully men and women, and rob property, but as a result, the officers and men of Shanghai hated these people who took advantage of the chaos to commit evil, and immediately suppressed them by force.

The common people don't care about royal affairs, and it has nothing to do with them if the Anglo-French alliance goes to war with the Qing army, but these ruffians rob their property and bully their relatives, so it has a lot to do with it. When the Shanghai army suppressed these people who took advantage of the chaos to rob, the common people applauded. They had heard of the prestige of the Shanghai Army, but only when they saw it today did they truly understand that the Shanghai Army was an army with strict military discipline and excellent work style, and it was 100 times 100 times stronger than the Qing army that only knew how to bully the common people.

The reputation of the Shanghai army spread rapidly, and the common people saw the goodness of the Shanghai army with their own eyes, and it became much more true to sing praises. It is more convincing to others.

Invisibly, the image of the Shanghai Army has been affirmed by the people in Beijing.

The residents of the inner city of Beijing are either rich or expensive, unlike the outer city, the people in the inner city are coaxed one by one, when the Shanghai army marched into the inner city, ready to take over the defense of the nine gates of the inner city, encountered the obstruction of the Eight Banners.

At first, these Eight Banners soldiers thought that the British and French troops had entered the city, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy, but soon found that the other party only looked very similar to foreigners in military uniforms. In fact, they were all Han Chinese, and when they heard the other party's name, they knew that it was the Shanghai army that had entered the city.

This face is embarrassing, you must know that they are all masters on weekdays, they are very arrogant, and now they are so frightened that they kowtow to the Han people who are fourth-class citizens and beg for mercy, which is really embarrassing.

"How fucking do you dare to scare the grandfathers, immediately kneel down and kowtow to the grandfathers to admit their mistakes, and then compensate for mental damages. Grandpa will spare you, otherwise you will be good-looking. ”

A flag man takes the lead. The other Eight Banner soldiers suddenly coaxed, and one by one they became angry again, returning to their former arrogance and domineering.

A Shanghai military academy officer stood up and sneered: "You took the initiative to kneel and kowtow to us, and we didn't force you, so why should we admit your mistakes?" ”

The flag man said: "Just because the master is the flag man." Those who are on the three banners, you Han people are all fourth-class people, what's the matter? I'm not convinced! ”

The Qing Dynasty civilians were divided into five classes, first-class bannermen and second-class Mongols. The third class is a Tibetan minority, the fourth class is a Han Chinese, and the fifth class is a sinner.

That is, in the Qing Dynasty, the Han people were the lowest.

The officers and men of Shanghai were immediately filled with righteous indignation, if it weren't for the strict discipline of the Shanghai army, they would have called on the butt of a gun a long time ago, and they wouldn't have recognized him even if they smashed it.

The Shanghai military academy officer held back his anger and asked, "The first-class people kowtow to the fourth-class people, so how can they be compensated?" ”

The banner man thought that the other party was soft, so he said even more proudly: "I heard that the salary of your Shanghai army is very high, and a soldier has three or four taels of silver a month to receive. ”

Seeing that the other party suddenly asked about the salary of the Shanghai army, the school officer suddenly sneered: "I am just a small school officer, and the salary is not much, the monthly basic salary is twenty yuan, which is about one hundred taels of silver." ”

The banner man suddenly exclaimed: "Damn, my lord is a dignified general, it's not as good as you as a small school, you pay me half a month for half a year, is there any reason?" Is there still a royal law? ”

The officer of the Shanghai Military Academy sneered: "Tell me about heavenly principles? Talking about the king's law? It's a joke, you banner people are lazy all day long and don't do anything, and the imperial court specially gives you subsidies. The imperial court has never given subsidies to our Han people, and we Han people shed blood and tears to earn some hard-earned money, and we have raised pigs. ”

These words immediately angered the group of flag men, and the leader immediately said angrily: "Boy, are you playing tricks with the master?" Do you know that even if you kill you, you don't have to pay for your life. ”

The officer of the Shanghai Military Academy snorted coldly: "Of course I know, the flag man can be compensated with money for killing the Han people, and the Han people killing the flag man are guilty of capital crimes." ”

The leader laughed and said, "Since you know, then quickly kowtow to the grandfathers to make amends, and then compensate five hundred, no, five thousand taels of silver as compensation, and then get out of Beijing." ”

This is the Ming robbery, and it has grabbed the head of the Shanghai army.

What is the name of that saying, if you don't die, you won't die, and it will be fulfilled immediately.

The Shanghai army was ordered to take over the city defense, neither retreating nor losing money, and this group of Eight Banners soldiers pretended to be used to it on weekdays, and they didn't change their mistakes for a while, and they didn't know how powerful the Shanghai army was, and the two sides immediately fought.

Of course, at first, the officers and soldiers of Shanghai did not shoot, but maintained restraint and used bayonets to block the broadswords and spears of the Eight Banners.

However, the group fight soon attracted more people from both sides to participate, and soon turned into a melee of thousands of people, and the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners was naturally not good, and even if the officers and soldiers of Shanghai did not shoot, they were enough to crush each other with bayonets.

Soon, more and more people were injured by the Eight Banners, and when they saw that the officers and soldiers of Shanghai had reservations, they thought that the other party would not dare to kill people, so they had no fear, and soon many soldiers of the Shanghai Army were injured one after another.

The officers and men of Shanghai were united, and when they saw that their comrades-in-arms were wounded, they immediately became angry, their bayonets turned red, and they began to lay heavy hands, and both sides instantly burst into real fire.

"Call me!"

"Hit me hard!"

"Fight to the death!"

Both sides are increasingly unable to exercise restraint. Finally, with a Eight Banners soldier being stabbed to death, the two sides suddenly stopped scrupling and their murderous intentions boiled.

"The ones in the back are lined up and ready to shoot!"

"Alternate cover in front, exit immediately!"

The Shanghai army was well-trained, and the people behind quickly lined up. Pull away, the bullet is loaded, ready to shoot.

The soldiers of the Shanghai Army in the front melee alternately covered themselves and their comrades to withdraw.

"Bang bang ......"

The Shanghai army fired, and at this time, it was impossible for the commander to see the casualties of his own men, and suddenly ordered to shoot.

"The Shanghai army shot and killed, but the other way around, kill me!"

"You can only shoot one shot, everyone gets on together. Hack them to death! ”

The Eight Banners didn't have guns, but they thought that the muskets of the Shanghai army could only shoot once, so they weren't too afraid.

However, the next moment, all the Eight Banners soldiers were dumbfounded.

I saw that the soldiers of the Shanghai army in front of them quickly pulled the bolts. The bullet was loaded, and in less than three seconds it was fired again.

Bang bang......

The Eight Banners fell in rows. The lethality of 9mm rifle bullets at close range is amazing, and the flesh and blood fly in an instant, which is unbearable.

In just a few minutes, more than half of the thousands of Eight Banner soldiers were shot and killed, and blood flowed like a river.

The remaining 1,000 or so people were suddenly frightened, and some tried to escape. As a result, they were blocked by the Shanghai troops who rushed to reinforce around and shot them together.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, we surrender!"

The Eight Banners who bullied the soft and feared the hard knelt on the ground one after another and threw away the weapons in their hands. Pray that the Hu army will not kill them.

Li Weiguo, who had just arrived from the Old Summer Palace and entered the city, heard the gunshots and immediately rushed over.

After understanding what had happened, Li Weiguo's face suddenly sank.

Li Weiguo was very angry, he was not used to the Eight Banners, but now he just gave him an excuse.

"Slaughtered them all!"

Li Weiguo gave the order lightly, and the officers and soldiers in Shanghai suddenly became excited, and at first they thought that Li Weiguo would blame them for violating military regulations, but at this time Li Weiguo was a calf protector, and since he had already killed people, he would simply kill them all, and the province would have trouble settling accounts after the autumn.

Chen Jingnan said: "Lord, the three major disciplines and eight points of attention of the Shanghai army were set by you personally, the remaining Eight Banners have laid down their weapons, if they are slaughtered, I am afraid that the prestige of the adults will be damaged in the future, if there are Shanghai officers and soldiers who encounter the same thing in the future, and carry you out as a shield, our military justice department will have no choice." ”

"What you say is not unreasonable!" Li Weiguo nodded, turned to the surrounding Shanghai officers and soldiers, and saw that they were all looking at him pitifully, and their eyes were clearly expecting Li Weiguo to order murder and revenge, after all, these Eight Banners soldiers were too hateful and violated the majesty of the Shanghai army.

Li Weiguo thought for a while, and suddenly shouted: "You Eight Banner soldiers can go, but these weapons of yours ......"

"We don't need weapons, let's give them to adults!"

"No, no, no, I don't want your weapons, each of you picks up your weapons and can go."

When these Eight Banners soldiers heard that Li Weiguo let them go, they were immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and carefully picked up their weapons.

At this moment, Li Weiguo suddenly shouted to the officers and soldiers in Shanghai: "Our Shanghai army has strict military discipline and has never killed the enemy who laid down his arms, and now these Eight Banners soldiers have taken up arms again, and their eyes tell us that they still hate us and are still our enemies." ”

After Li Weiguo finished speaking, the audience was suddenly silent, and one by one seemed to freeze, and the brain hole was a little insufficient in an instant.

Syllable!

Li Weiguo whipped the Shanghai military academy officer and scolded: "You are so fucking stupid, do you have to ask Lao Tzu to say it?" ”

The Shanghai military academy officer was whipped and suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly ordered: "What the hell are you doing, I didn't see the enemy pick up arms again, shoot me, don't worry about killing!" ”

This shout, whether it is the officers and soldiers of Shanghai or the soldiers of the Eight Banners, all understand.

I saw that the officers and men of Shanghai quickly loaded their bullets and opened fire.

Those Eight Banner soldiers scolded Li Weiguo for being shameless, and hurriedly wanted to throw away the weapons in their hands, but unfortunately, before they could throw away their weapons, bullets hit them.

Bang bang......

After the intense gunfire, there were no more people alive. (To be continued......)
