The looting of the Old Summer Palace lasted for two days, the huge Old Summer Palace was looted, and truckloads of gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques were transported out of the Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces.

Even Grant and Yaman were completely shocked, so much wealth was lying quietly in the Old Summer Palace like this, it was really a tyrannical thing, so much wealth, how much benefit would it bring to the treasury of Britain and France!

The Qing country is rich, and the Qing country is really rich! Rob, be sure to rob him clean!

Grant and Yaman didn't say a word, and once again set their eyes on the treasury of the Beijing City Household Department, a team of British and French troops surrounded the treasury and smashed the gate of the treasury to a pulp!

It's just that this time they were completely disappointed, they originally thought that the treasury of the gold and silver mountains was empty, only rows of wooden shelves, where is there any gold and silver? The Anglo-French coalition turned the treasury upside down, but barely scraped together one million taels of silver, this is the treasury of the so-called **** country! One hundred thousand taels of silver, converted into pounds, is only two or three hundred thousand pounds, and any bank in Britain and France can come up with two or three hundred thousand pounds, no, at least millions of pounds!

What the hell is wrong with this country?

Grant and Yaman were both dumbfounded, what the hell was going on? Could it be that the Qing government moved all the treasury silver away before the emperor fled? Obviously, it is impossible, the wooden shelves in the treasury are full of dust, which can not be piled up in a day or two, which shows that the treasury has been in this empty state for several years!

How did the two of them know that the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom is rich, the dignitaries of the Great Qing Kingdom are rich, the dignitaries of the Great Qing Kingdom are rich, and even the landlords of the Great Qing Kingdom are rich, but the treasury and the common people have no money!

The two of them were extremely frustrated, and they still wanted to make a windfall here, according to what they robbed from the Old Summer Palace, at least they could rob millions of taels of silver in the treasury, or even tens of millions of taels! Who would have thought that it would be like this! When Emperor Xianfeng fled, he moved a lot of silver, but because of the urgency of time, it was only a lot, but hundreds of thousands of taels, and there was no surplus.

In addition to the officials' salaries, relief, and wars, there is no money left in the treasury every year, and even the grain is not enough, and the Hunan army in Jianghuai is also needed to raise its own military salaries, and the dignified Qing Dynasty has fallen to an unimaginable level.

Grant and Yaman immediately reacted, damn it, since they can't grab it, then set it on fire, grandma's, burn down the summer palace!

The British and French forces suddenly began to burn in the Old Summer Palace, hundreds of allied troops held torches, and continued to light fires throughout the Old Summer Palace, and in an instant the flames rose into the air, and the smoke covered the sky and the sun, and the entire city of Beijing was shrouded in thick smoke, as for the palace maids and eunuchs in the Old Summer Palace, they were killed and injured countless times, and all died in the fire!

Not to mention that in the Old Summer Palace, even in Tongxian County, which is dozens of miles away, you can see the smoke of war that covers the sky and the sun, and the wealth accumulation of the Qing Dynasty for two hundred years is completely destroyed!

Prince Gong's Mansion, Yixin and Wenxiang stood in the mansion, looking at the fire in the distance, Yixin's heart was like a knife, the things left by the ancestors were burned, it was because of these waste officials who burned it, this is not the end, even if there is a little oil and water left in the treasury, these robbers of the British and French coalition are especially not letting go, hate, really hate!

But what's the use of resentment, who can't beat others, who lets his emperor do so many bastard things with his ministers? When it came to the end, they all ran away, leaving themselves to clean up the mess, it's okay to clean up well, but if the ratings are not good, then wait to be investigated, and Wen Xiang and Wen Xiang are the best scapegoats!

Abundant? A trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in his eyes, who wants to let all his things be robbed by others, even if they are the people of the capital, they are also their own people, wait, now the soldiers are in full swing, the momentum is like a rainbow, the whole north has no ability to resist after Guo Ye was martyred, even Monk Greenqin doesn't know where he was beaten to, even if Monk Greenqin is there, it is useless, more than 20,000 iron cavalry in Horqin under his command have almost been wiped out in this battle, and the real vitality is greatly damaged, there will never be a Horqin Iron Rider again!

Wen Xiang said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, we also have to prepare early, the peace talks are about to start, and our ninety-nine hundred and eleventh difficulties have just begun......"

Abundant? With a sad face, he said: "But, how to talk about it, that Grant and Yaman are too dark, how can we accept the terms sent to us?" However, if we don't accept it, where do we still have the capital and confidence to bargain with others? ”

Wen Xiang sighed, the national disaster is a good general, at this time, I remembered the omnipotent Guo Ye again, but the Si people have passed away, what is the use of thinking about it again?

Abundant? sighed: "Guo Ye, Guo Ye, you kid must not die, as long as your kid still has a breath, the prince and I will have more confidence, now without you behind my back, how can I talk about this situation?" ”

Wen Xiang smiled bitterly: "Lord, even if Guo Ye is alive, it is useless, now the defeat has been decided, it is completely different from the last time, last time, we won the battle and promoted peace with war, Guo Ye has a good grasp of the situation, but now, we have defeated, there is no longer a fighting army in the Gyeonggi area, to put it mildly, even if the British and French forces want to take the Forbidden City now, we can only give the Forbidden City to others obediently......"

Yixin said hatefully: "That's not good, no matter what, we can't accept their conditions in their entirety, it's too harsh, once we accept them all, we will all become sinners!" I wondered how the British and French ministers and generals knew us so thoroughly, and every condition seemed to be aimed at our weakest point, making it difficult for us to fight back at all! ”

As Yixin was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the door of the palace was slammed open.

"Your Excellency, General Yaman, General Grant, this is Prince Gong's Mansion, and I will lead the way for you! My Lord Gong, the envoys of Britain and France have arrived, why don't you hurry out to greet them? ”

A sharp voice rang out!

Abundant? He Wen Xiang looked up in shock, and when he boarded, his chest was full of anger, and a Chinese nodded and led Grant and the others in.

"Gong Cheng! It's you! You scum! ”

Yixin roared angrily!

Wen Xiang was silent, and now he could only take one step at a time.
