Chapter 158: Receiving the Defense of the Capital (Part II)
Seymour buried his head in thinking about Hu Lin's words, although he knew that if countries really wanted to send troops, it would not be easy to bring troops from Europe and the United States, but he knew how much it would cost to send a soldier from Europe, as well as weapons, ammunition, and military supplies, it would be a high-cost war.
In this attack on the Qing State, only some Indian troops were summoned from India, and there were also Vietnamese nationals in the French army, and some were Chinese legions, and there were not many real white troops.
Only Russia and Japan can contribute a large number of troops, and these two countries are next to the Qing State. I also saw the power of the rockets fired by Hulin's helicopter.
"What, the coalition fleet was captured? ・・・・・What do you think, sir, seeing that you just repelled us and did not continue the attack, and you also informed me to come and talk, it must be for the purpose of peace." ”
Seymour was shocked, and then did not admit or deny Hulin's words, and pulled the center of the conversation to how to understand the war.
"Then I will say the conditions, first, the coalition forces will surrender unconditionally, and the troops in the capital will be picked up and evacuated by the countries themselves.
Second, for the losses caused to Tianjin and the capital, 50 million taels of silver will be compensated.
Thirdly, the captured soldiers of Tianjin and the various countries at sea were ransomed with ransom, 50 taels for one soldier, 100 taels for non-commissioned officers, and 500 taels for generals.
Fourth, we will judge the soldiers and officers who have done wrong, and countries will apologize for the civilian casualties caused.
Fifth, don't you want to trade, and I will promote an open policy・・・・・・・・・・・・"
Hulin dictated the gist and then asked the guard to give Seymour a printed list. Although Seymour had already expected that the situation would not be good, Hulin's conditions. Still made the muscles in his face twitch.
In all fairness, Hu Linkai's conditions. It's not high, mainly because I don't want to make things too big. Otherwise, none of the soldiers of the coalition countries in the country would want to go back.
However, for the sake of the overall situation, only the confiscation of weapons and military funds was demanded, and only a small amount of compensation was demanded. But Hu Lin knew that these foreigners were concerned about judging those who had done evil and apologizing, which was very important to them.
"My lord, I can't make decisions about this for the time being, I need to go back and discuss it. As for compensation and apologies, I am afraid that we need to contact the country. ”
Seymour saw that there wasn't much compensation on the list. But there are some requirements that you can't make by yourself, and they are completely unnecessary, if the Qing army is just an ordinary war victory, you don't need to look at this list, and you can directly refuse.
But Hulin's outlier makes things less certain. The things I grabbed were gone, and I had to go back to my country, and I suffered heavy losses. After thinking about it carefully, even if the adult in front of him has something flying in the sky. It won't have much impact on the country either.
"Ahh
Seymour jerked to his feet, pointed at Hulin, speechless. Hulin, who was pointed, nodded in reply, indicating that you guessed right. Seymour reacted suddenly. Naturally, I remembered what I wanted to do after I finished in the capital.
In the plan of the coalition forces, the capital was taken. After the incident, I want to go to Pingshan, Guangxi to rob good things. Hu Lin used advanced machinery in Pingshan in Guangxi Province. There's been a long time to hide.
Seymour, who suddenly thought of this, sat back in his chair with all his body weak. "You are General Hu?!!! Is there still an army behind? ”
"Haha. It seems that you remember, now that you know, go back and discuss with them, don't wait for my army to arrive and it hasn't come to fruition, then I'm welcome. ”
Hu Lin laughed meaningfully, and then said to Fukushima Yasumasa. "Uninvited, it's quite enthusiastic, if you Japanese Empire don't have money, you will exchange women for soldiers, but don't be ugly."
"Eight, sir, I'll think about it."
Fukushima Yasuma knew that Hu Lin was humiliating himself, and he was about to scold, but he quickly stopped it and didn't scold. Especially when he saw Hu Lin's face drop, his attitude softened a few points.
After Seymour and Fukushima Yasumasa left, Hu Lin, Li Tie and Dong Fuxiang were left in the lobby. "Western devils know the immortal?" After being silent for a while, Dong Fuxiang still couldn't hold back and asked.
"Count, it doesn't count, they have suffered some losses from me." Hu Lin casually prevaricated. "Lord Dong, there will be soldiers to help later, I hope you will cooperate with them to do a good job in the defense of the capital and ensure the safety of the capital."
"Yes, Immortal Master." Dong Fuxiang responded in a little confusion, and always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't find anything wrong.
Powerful immortals coming down from the sky will bring standing soldiers to assist in the defense, which is to protect the absolute safety of the imperial city, and there is no problem. I didn't dare to ask more, said more, and then respectfully withdrew.
Hu Lin and Li Tie drank tea, looked at each other and smiled, this is how they were suddenly inserted into the capital, so that there is such an effect, what they want is fast.
In the afternoon, Xiong Qing rushed to the capital with the elite army of the 1st Division of Pingshan and almost faced the coalition army. However, after receiving Hu Lin's notice, Xiong Qing did not take care of the coalition forces outside the city, and drove directly to the outer city.
The coalition forces saw 50 armored vehicles in front of the Pingshan Elite Division, troop transport trucks in the back, and baggage trucks rumbling across the road, leaving behind a cloud of dust, which made the hearts of the coalition troops even colder.
Under Hu Lin's instructions, Dong Fuxiang waited for the so-called soldiers from heaven at Dongzhimen, and when the discriminatory grand convoy drove over, it was like a long dragon returning to the nest, irresistible.
The receiving army is to be reported, but this is the army of the immortal heavenly soldiers, Dong Fuxiang has been beating the drum in his heart, and he does not dare to disobey the slightest bit, for fear of going to report it and angering the immortal heavenly soldiers.
When he saw Xiong Qing coming with a huge army, he was really relieved and let go of the worries in his heart. Disobeyed the imperial court and let people in without reporting, but this is not a human army, it is a heavenly soldier, this is indeed a heavenly soldier.
With the cooperation of Dong Fuxiang, Xiong Qing and the Pingshan elite division quickly assisted in the defense of Dongzhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Dongbian Gate and other city gates. Originally, this was not in accordance with the rules, but a series of incredible things happened, which made people in this era a little confused.
What's more, when looking at the shiny armored vehicles of the Pingshan Elite Division and so on, they really looked like heavenly soldiers, and when they entered the city, they were all mighty and domineering, neatly and uniformly, where is there such a level of army, only heavenly soldiers.
Xiong Qing came, so it was easier to do it later, and brought a battalion of soldiers to Dong Fuxiang's mansion, as well as Hu Lin's guards. This battalion naturally belonged to Li Tie's special division, and walked with Xiong Qing to the ground.
In this way, Hu Lin no longer worries about possible security problems, even if he does not pretend to be immortals, there will be no security problems, and the combat effectiveness of this division of the modern army is not comparable to that of the Qing army in this era.
If you wait a little longer, after the other 35,000 people come, Hu Lin will not have to worry, and that is when he will really take control of the capital.
Dong Mansion, in a quiet garden, surrounded by soldiers full of spirit, after a person walked in, a sudden noise came.
"Haha, Xiong Qing, my Master Xiong, you are finally here, you don't know that Li Tie and I entered Beijing single-handedly, and I was worried in my heart."
"General, what are you afraid of, just our helicopter to stand on it, who dares to do it to the general, it's not bad if you don't break your guts." Hey, Li Tie, are you following the general, are you afraid? ”
Li Tie was pushed by Xiong Qing and immediately returned the punch. "I'm afraid, it's a bit bit, but as long as you don't shoot when you land, as long as you get off the plane, it's not so easy to take us down."
Li Tie's self-confidence made Xiong Qing fully agree, the quality of special forces can still be carried in the hands of Qing soldiers, it is indeed unreasonable. It's that Hu Lin is a little more troublesome, but there are still a few guards from special forces on the plane, so it is not a big problem to protect Hu Lin.
"Xiong Qing, Tianjin's coal is not transported to the seaside, we can be regarded as controlling the outer city of the capital, hurry up and bring Wang Daniu's tens of thousands of people over, so that we can rest assured that we can wander around the capital."
After the ridicule, several people sat on the stone benches in the garden, and the guards served some tea. Hu Lin's face turned positive slightly, and when it came to business, there was still a Wang Da Niu who didn't come, and he was still running around on the road.
"The general still doesn't believe me? Rest assured, the captives have been shipped with a lot of coal. A trip should be enough! ”
Xiong Qing replied with an affirmative face, these little things, after taking control of Tianjin City, let people drive the coalition prisoners to do it. Xiong Qing naturally knows the role of coal burning, without coal burning, those warships will not be able to use, how to pick up Wang Daniu, naturally very concerned.
"In that case, we will send a telegram to Tianjin in a while, and draw a helicopter to escort the convoy, and the warships of the coalition forces should not dare to move our fleet at this time. Hurry up and take Wang Da Niu and them. ”
Hu Lin confirmed that the coal was already being shipped, so as long as enough coal was transferred from Tianjin to Tanggukou, it could be added to the heavy cruisers, and these, six or seven thousand tons of warships, could not be driven to Tianjin.
The main thing is that the warships of the coalition forces are blocked in the river, and the only way to pass through the Pingshan Army is to destroy these warships. When the military stabilizes, the warships in these rivers can be towed away and the shipping lanes can be dredged.
Tianjin is already under control, so it will naturally arrange for dredging, but it will have to be delayed, and it will take a lot of time to tow these warships out.
"Okay, general, haha, I'm looking forward to what our 50,000 people will look like in the capital, even if Emperor Guangxu transfers hundreds of thousands of troops, no, it's Cixi Lafayette, hahahaha!"
"yes, haha, haha・・・・・"
Xiong Qing looked forward to it confidently and slowly, and Li Tie Hulin also laughed, he was nervous for so long, and finally passed a critical hurdle, and the rest of the matter was much easier.
At this time, the headquarters of the coalition forces outside the city was miserable. There were all kinds of painful moans and groans in the barracks tents, and the nervous soldiers of various countries outside were trying their best to dig trenches. (To be continued.) )
