Chapter 100: I also have hostages
Walk?
The treasures they had worked so hard to loot were now stored in the capital.
If it weren't for that damn Wang Sirui, I'm afraid they would have transported these treasures out a long time ago.
It was precisely because Wang Sirui had attacked their baggage team several times before that the coalition army did not dare to send the baggage team alone to send these treasures.
Because of the large number of Qing troops in the south, coupled with the strategic needs of the coalition forces, they had to concentrate a large number of troops to the south, hoping to force the Qing court to enter the negotiations as soon as possible, and then meet their demands.
According to the original plan, these treasures were to be escorted away by tens of thousands of people after the return of the army that had gone south.
After all, there are hundreds of millions of taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, and priceless treasures such as antiques.
Previously, they thought that it should not be a problem for them to hold the capital with thousands of people anyway, so they did not rush to transport these things away first.
It's a tragedy now, let's go? I can't bear so many things.
First, there are not enough people, they only have more than 1,000 people left, and they can't transport so many things away. Secondly, where do they go to find so many vehicles in a short period of time? Moreover, now there are only two city gates left, Desheng Gate and Ding'an Gate.
Perhaps they will come later to report that one of the two gates has been lost, and they simply won't have enough time to get those things away, not even for loading.
But if they don't leave, once the Qing army completes the control of the city gate, then they will become turtles in the urn, and they will be captured by the other party, and it will only be a matter of time.
And once the Qing army controls the city gate and gradually defeats the strength of the coalition army, where can they, the foreigners, hide in this capital? I'm afraid that before they can hide it, countless people will go to tell the Qing army where they are hiding.
"Commanders, we don't have more time to think about those issues, and perhaps, the sooner we decide, the more we can recover some of our losses." Wadsey looked at the hesitant crowd and couldn't help urging.
Wadsy knew better than the generals who only knew how to fight, what would happen if they were captured.
As for the gold and silver treasures, Wadsey didn't look at them at all.
What if they take it? As long as they can get out, they can immediately mobilize a large army to turn back and attack the capital again, and then the money will not return to them?
Although the capital could not be defended, in Wadsey's opinion, they were not completely defeated, because they still had an army, and their army was still winning.
This is their capital, which is the capital that the Qing army does not have.
"Let's go!" Perhaps understanding the meaning of Wadsey's words, the British minister Dou Nale was the first to approve.
"Let's go!" Immediately afterwards, the Japanese commander Yasumasa Fukushima also nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, several other countries also expressed their consent to leave.
However, even if they said they wanted to leave, these rich slaves were still unwilling to leave in such a tragic way, at least, they had to get some treasure before they could leave.
And Wadsey on the side could only shake his head helplessly, angry and helpless.
The remaining 300 German troops could only be silently gathered, ready to leave the capital at any time.
However, contrary to their wishes, the foreigners who were going to take some of the treasures, before they could feel the place where the treasures were placed, Wadsy sent someone to inform them that the Andingmen had been lost, and that only the Deshengmen were left at present, and that they had to give up everything and leave the capital within fifteen minutes, otherwise they might not be able to leave here.
"Fack! (How do you say this in Russian?) Please auto-ignore! Liankovich glanced at the warehouse in front of him, and only needed a few more minutes to give him a few more minutes before he could move a cartload of wealth.
But at the thought that there was only one gate left, Desheng Gate, Lian Kovich had to give up that idea, and at the same time secretly swore in his heart that when he came next time, he would definitely retaliate against them even more frantically.
Thinking of this, Lian Kevich directly took the remaining soldiers and turned around and ran in the direction of Deshengmen.
However, after running for a few minutes, it suddenly occurred to Liankovich that their current location was still some distance away from the city gate.
Wadsey sent someone to inform them that it would take a certain amount of time, and that it would take some time for them to run over. Moreover, judging from the speed at which they had captured a city gate before, they would be greeted by countless bullets when they ran to Desheng Gate.
As soon as he thought of this, Lian Kovich felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Suddenly, Lenkovich signaled the running troops to stop advancing.
Then he instructed an officer beside him, "Send someone to arrest some civilians, make sure that there is one for each person." ”
The officer smiled, apparently thinking of it with Lian Kovich, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go to a nearby house to arrest people.
Anyway, there are many people in Huaxia, and it is easier and easier to catch people than to catch a fish.
Since Wang Sirui can use this trick, why can't they use this trick? If you have the ability, shoot them all.
Moreover, even the Kovich expected that the other side would not dare to shoot them, because the people who lived in the inner city were all children of the royal family, and each of their ancestors had merit.
Once the Qing troops on the opposite side opened fire, they themselves would also suffer tremendous pressure.
After a while, hundreds of Russian soldiers returned to the team with a civilian, and most of these people looked at the Russian army in front of them tremblingly, wanting to say something, but they didn't dare to speak, so they could only bear it silently.
Looking at such a huge number of ordinary people, Lian Kovich's face finally showed a smile, and he was no longer afraid.
So, with a wave of his hand, Lian Kovich continued to return with his troops.
The ghost knows that when they fight back, the wealth will still be there, anyway, some can be moved away, as long as there are hostages in hand, I am not afraid that they will not leave the capital.
On the way back, the Russian soldiers kept kicking open the doors of one house after another, and when they saw that there were cars inside, they pulled them all out, and by the way, even the men were pulled away.
Lian Qu Wei just wanted to tell Wang Sirui in this way, even if I passed by you like this, you still couldn't help me.
It's just that Lian Kovic didn't expect that Deshengmen did not suffer any attacks, and it was not until after they all left, after the soldiers of Deshengmen took the initiative to retreat, that the troops behind followed closely to occupy Deshengmen.
