Just as Guy led the remnants of the defeated army and fled back to Tianjin, the news also reached Beijing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Bazin was discussing with Horton and Morence about withdrawing from the army, when suddenly he saw a staff officer staggering in.

"General, General! Oh no! Oh no! ”

Bazin frowned and shouted, "What's the matter, such a fuss? Panic what! ”

It was Adrian, the military staff officer of the French army, who ran in, and Adrian panicked: "General Bazin, Tianjin, sent 700 li to send information urgently, the French, British, and Spanish armies suffered a fatal blow from the elite Lu army of the Qing army in the area of southern Beijing, of which the Japanese army lost 4,000 people, the French army lost more than 7,000 people, the British army lost more than 1,000 people, and the Spanish army suffered more than 2,000 casualties......"

"What did you say!"

Bazin was shocked, not the loss of the Japanese army, just France, Britain and Spain, even if it was nearly 10,000 troops! 10,000 troops, you know, Britain, France and Spain have brought out a total of 80,000 troops, plus the previous Shandong War, the British army lost thousands of troops, and the troops lost in the Tianjin and Beijing battles, and now the loss of troops has almost exceeded 20,000!

A quarter of the direct loss! This is almost unacceptable!

Bazin then exclaimed, "Impossible! How can it be! The coalition army in Tianjin alone has two brigades of troops, the British army and the Spanish army each have the strength of one brigade, plus Japan, the total strength of more than 20,000 people, even if the Lu army is strong, where did they get so many troops, and they actually hurt the vitality of the four-nation alliance army in the first war? ”

Horton and Morenster were also shocked and inexplicable, this loss was even heavier than the losses of the Anglo-Japanese coalition in Shandong, the largest casualties in Shandong were Japan, the Japanese rabble were originally made up, and it was not a pity that they all died, but the British casualties were not very many, and the casualties were about six or seven thousand, although the British army suffered a lot of casualties, but it was not a big injury, but this time, the casualties of the Triple Alliance alone were already tens of thousands!

Adrian said abruptly: "General Bazin, it's true, the Lu army first defeated thousands of Japanese troops in the first battle of Cangzhou, and the Japanese army that plundered Cangzhou was almost wiped out!" Immediately after General Juyilu led two infantry brigades to advance south, arrived in the Cangzhou area and fought fiercely with the Lu army in Xueguantun, for three consecutive days, finally our army was defeated and asked for help from the Anglo-Spanish coalition army, and as a result, the Anglo-Spanish coalition army was ambushed by the Lu army in the Qingxian area, and the troops were defeated and returned in vain......

"Lu Jun...... Guo Ye, it's Guo Ye again! Bastard! Damn bastards! Ah......h

Bazin was so angry that he almost went crazy, this Guo Ye is simply the nemesis of foreigners, although he didn't shoot directly this time, but it is obvious that Lu Jun is his descendant, and all the generals under him have been cultivated and promoted by him!

"General Bazin, now that the Tianjin garrison has suffered a heavy blow, we must react!"

Horton shouted urgently, in fact, Horton was a little gloating in his heart, he lost in Shandong, Horton was not less sarcastic by Bazin, this time, long memory, even if the French army still let people fight in a downstream, you know, they are fighting a tough battle, and it is understandable that the casualties are large, but their French army is a positional war this time, and they can still have such large casualties, then there is really no reason!

However, now that the four countries are in the same spirit, one is prosperous, one is lost, and the other has also suffered a blow, Horton naturally can't show a gloating look on his face, and asked Bazin urgently, after all, Bazin is the commander-in-chief of the army.

Bazin said hatefully: "Yes, there must be a reaction!" It seems that the conditions we have given to the Qing government are too light! We have to add weight, we have to increase the size! ”

Eh, Horton was stunned, what is special, what Lao Tzu said about reacting is a military response, sending reinforcements to Tianjin, who knows how many troops the Lu army has, in case of a heavy siege of Tianjin? That's even cut off your back road; Instead of what you said, you will put pressure on the Qing government again and prescribe more harsh conditions!

However, Horton immediately reacted, increase the size, that is necessary, cause huge losses to the four countries again, how can you not add some weight?

"Yes, we must add weight to the Qing government! General Bazin, let's summon that Prince Gong again and ask him to make amends! ”

"Well, invite the four ministers over!"

Bazin shouted, and Adrian hurriedly said yes and ran down.

"Someone!"

Bazin then shouted, and a military staff officer ran in, waiting for Bazin's order.

"Immediately issue an order to all departments of the Four-Nation Alliance, and immediately stop the mobilization of all troops, and postpone the withdrawal from Beijing City! Order the 25th Brigade of the French Army to take over the defense of the entire city of Beijing again, and control all the palaces of the royal family and ministers! ”

Soon, the envoys of the four countries came to the Yamen of Shuncheonfu, where Bazin was located.

"Four ministers, things have taken a new turn again! The hot cooperation treaty we signed needs to be changed again! ”

Bazin saw the four ministers and said impatiently.

The four of them were stunned at the same time, and wondered: "Why is General Bazin?" Going back on your word, this is going to be laughed at in the world! ”

"Damn, you know what! In the past two days, the elite of the Qing army has been attacking the Four-Nation Alliance, causing extremely serious casualties to our four-nation army in Cangzhou, and the total number of casualties exceeded 15,000! This is something we absolutely cannot bear! We have to price again, and for this the Qing government must pay an indemnity of 20 million taels of silver again! At the same time, the Qing government must announce the disbandment of the Lu army, the demolition of the arsenal in Shandong, or the handing over of the arsenal to the Four-Nation Alliance, and investigate and punish all the senior generals of the Lu army below Guo Ye! ”

20 million taels of silver in compensation, and then disband the Lu army, demolish the arsenal, and investigate all the generals of the Lu army!

The four ministers were all taken aback, this move was ruthless enough! No matter which country it is, it will never do anything to destroy the Great Wall, disbanding the Lu army and investigating all the generals, this is simply unimaginable!

"General Bazin, this is absolutely unachievable, and a little more silver can force the Qing government to accept, but if you want the Qing government to disband the Lu army, how is it possible? This is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall, not to mention that all the generals will be investigated? ”

"If it can't be done, it must be realized! It really didn't work, so Lao Tzu pressed the knife on the neck of their little emperor and forced them to agree, to see if the little emperor was important, or Lu Jun was important! ”

Bazin said in a sinister cold voice. (To be continued.) )
