Chapter 11: Defeat

The British army was very annoyed that the British army had nothing to gain in Guangzhou, and the British army decided to attack from other directions, and the situation in Guangzhou entered a stalemate stage, and the British army gave up the main attack on Guangzhou, launched an attack from Fujian, and sent warships to Tianjin Haikou one after another to coerce the Qing court to stop the war and negotiate.

The Qing army was already corrupt, and before the battle began, a large number of deserters appeared, and most of the officers were eating empty noise. The British army began to land in Quanzhou, Fujian, and the Qing army retreated one after another along the way, and the British took advantage of the situation to pursue, and many places fell one after another.

"My lord, this is the latest battle report of the imperial court, the important seaports of Quanzhou have fallen one after another, and the British army has also sent warships to the port of Tianjin, and there is a tendency to attack Tianjin." Zhang Zhang took an intelligence report and reported to Zhang Yuanzheng.

"The tide is gone, and the defeat is decided. We lost this war, bastard, hundreds of thousands of troops can't defeat the British army with only more than 10,000 people, can this court still be saved? This is a disgrace to the military, a disgrace to the nation. Zhang Yuanzheng looked up to the sky and sighed.

The situation deteriorated almost every day, and Emperor Daoguang received news of defeats everywhere every day. The entire court spent almost every day in panic, and the hearts of the Manchu nobles were extremely uneasy, and they were very worried that the British army would invade the capital and their property would be lost as a result. There was already a voice of peace talks in the court, and Emperor Daoguang was really unwilling and turned a deaf ear to the request of the Manchu nobles for peace talks.

Emperor Daoguang ordered the provincial armies to hold on, except for Guangzhou, which came from the good news, the other provinces came from, the situation was critical, and the documents requesting the support of troops were sent in the palace, Daoguang looked at the battle reports sent from all over the hand, and looked up at the sky.

"Am I really wrong, the country passed down from my ancestors is like this, ruined in my hands." Daoguang walked towards the palace alone, leaving a lonely figure behind.

Returning to the palace seat and sitting, Daoguang picked up the battle report sent from Guangzhou again and read it. Daoguang thought: "This Zhang Yuanzheng is really a general, and it is really the luck of the imperial court that Guangzhou is handed over to such a person." Daoguang decided to promote Zhang Yuanzheng to the governor of Guangdong, commanding the entire army of Guangdong.

When the news came back to Guangzhou, Zhang Yuanzheng smiled. At this time, he remembered his mentor Lin Zexu, who was still in the northwest. It's been a long time since I've been home, and I don't know if my little sister and my sister should be okay, and I should go home to take a look.

The situation became more and more severe, seeing that the British were about to hit the capital, the Daoguang Emperor also panicked, and the Manchu nobles and many ministers united to put pressure on the Daoguang Emperor and force Daoguang to agree to negotiate.

Daoguang was forced to be helpless, sent ministers, and the British army to negotiate, the British put forward many unequal conditions, the British conditions were very harsh, the British army in Tianjin was ready to attack at any time, the Qing Dynasty reluctantly agreed to these unequal conditions, signed the Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing.

At this moment, it is still here, although Zhang Yuanzheng has already known the result, he still can't help but sigh in his heart, although he has been here for so many years, he still has not been able to change the situation.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanzheng felt that his strength was still too small to change the outcome of the development of events. Zhang Yuanzheng called Xu Zhi and Wang Yong

"Although the war has stopped, we must not give up training, strengthen combat readiness, and always be ready to fight. There will be no peace in this world in the future, remember, only the strong have the qualifications to survive. Zhang Yuanzheng said
