The Imperial Legion in Egypt is nominally a legion, but in essence, the legion is not commonly used in the empire, and the Egyptian legion is special, and the entire legion is only 9,000 to 10,000 people, that is, the establishment of a type B division in the country (that is, it is not a division)

Like Ma Xiangyang, there were several adventurous businessmen who silently followed behind the Egyptian legion, ready to go and open a ticket. Luo Rongguang didn't feel how disgusted these businessmen were, he knew that this was just the instinct of businessmen to chase profits, when he was still in East Africa to suppress the rebellious states of Ethiopia, he was also followed by a large number of merchants, such businessmen were very popular in the colony, because in addition to the government's salary, the army in the colony will also receive a large amount of material and money rewards every year, and the reward basically comes from this "in-service military subsidy fund" raised by businessmen, Therefore, the military institutions in the colony will provide necessary help or care for the business activities of merchants, of course, merchants and rich people are not allowed to send money to the army, so they are basically through this foundation.

In the early morning of January 10, 1872, Cairo, which had just become prosperous, was waiting for him to be a severe test, and war was always accompanied by plunder.

At 8 a.m. on January 10, the Egyptian legion of the Chinese Empire arrived on the outskirts of Cairo, but fortunately the French had just passed Benha, because the railway had been destroyed by the Egyptians, so the French could only walk next. Egypt is like a beautiful body that is about to be xxoo by them in the eyes of Luo Rongguang and Ma Xiangyang, of course, the first thing to do is to eliminate the 30,000 Egyptian troops entrenched in the city, Luo Rongguang is now considering whether to wait for the French to attack together or attack the city alone. Waiting for the French to come together can reduce the casualties of their own army, after all, those 30,000 people are not pigs and beasts, and they will definitely cause a lot of casualties to their own soldiers, especially street fighting in Cairo, even if this is an important training subject for the emperor's * team. But if there are too many French people to grab money and food, they will not be able to complete it.

Just when Luo Rongguang was entangled, an Egyptian came to his headquarters with a white flag.

Luo Rongguang looked at the Egyptian in front of him in surprise, yes, no matter which angle he looked at, he was a pure-bred Arab Egyptian! But he was actually the emperor Jinyiwei's person, looking at the Jinyiwei waist card and confirmation password given to him by the Egyptian, and then looking at his face, Luo Rongguang still felt full of surprise, if the feeling that Jinyiwei gave him in the past was just that the emperor thought it was fun to warn or scare the officials, then the Egyptian standing in front of him now gave Luo Rongguang the feeling of fear.

"General? Checkmate? The Egyptian looked at Luo Rongguang suspiciously, speaking standard official language.

"Ahh You say! "Luo Rongguang, who is afraid of it, uses your word.

"The general is polite, I am now a captain in the Egyptian army, and the south side of my defense area can control my subordinates to release a hole in the defense line of the southern front, and the general will break through from where at that time, and this is the distribution map of the entire defense line of the southern front." As he spoke, the Egyptian handed over a cylinder, and as soon as the combat staff opened it, he found that it was clearly the layout of the army's defensive line.

"Thank you very much! But be careful when the time comes, the Egyptian government will definitely not let you go after this matter is over. ”

"Don't worry, general, I have my own way, maybe I'll be a general by then!" The Egyptian smiled, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll be waiting for you in an hour." ”

"General, do you think this Egyptian is reliable? It can't be a ploy! An operational staff officer asked Luo Rongguang cautiously.

"What do you think? Jinyiwei! Will the Egyptians come to me for this joke when they are fine? Besides, even if it is Emperor Ji*, will the team still be afraid of the Egyptians? Are the maps real? ”

"Based on the balloon's observations, it's generally correct."

"That's not it, now the whole army is heading to the south of the city to prepare for street fighting. Enter town an hour later. ”

The commander of the Egyptian army at the head of the city here is still wondering why the squadron went south, and he is glad that China is not attacking the city. As a result, after watching for an hour and waiting for an hour, he got the news that almost didn't scare him, and the Chinese had invaded the south of the city and were advancing towards the Pasha Palace and the venue.

Luo Rongguang led the army to swagger across the defense line of the southern front and swaggered into the city of Cairo. You're so capricious, what can you do with me.

The battle into the city has just begun, and there are Egyptians throwing grenades with black guns everywhere, but street fighting, as the most important training subject of the emperor's * team, the Egyptian Legion has not been practiced in vain in recent years, and it began to break through to the north of the city in squads. It is inevitable that a few Egyptian civilians will be injured by mistake (Nima!). Several! Let's keep the goose feathered! ）

Of course, Ma Xiangyang's group is not far behind. After the clearance of Kaulnich Street, Ma Xiangyang, under the protection of several soldiers (most of whom the cooks did), entered the Fusta district, which is a well-known area for the rich near Giza and the Ain Thira sulphur baths.

"Sir, I'm not selling, this is my house, your price is too low, it's just blackmail." Looking at the old Egyptian man in front of him stubbornly repeating this sentence in English, Ma Xiangyang felt that he was simply hopeless, and under Ma Xiangyang's hint, the two cooks raised the Type 65 rifles in their hands.

The dull two gunshots were inconspicuous in the entire Cairo firefight.

"Kill me, you invaders, come! You will be punished by Allah. The death of the two servants only aroused the ferocity of the old man. Ma Xiangyang decisively knocked him unconscious with a knife.

"I'm the aggressor, what's the matter!" Ma Xiangyang said with a disdainful expression, and then said to the soldiers behind him: "Thank you, I don't know if I can call a few brothers to help move the wealth of these rebels to the barracks." ”

"No problem!" A cook soldier glanced at it, obviously a veteran, in fact, when they will wait for their commander to order the disbandment, they will also do this, maybe more ugly than Ma Xiangyang, don't doubt the military discipline of the emperor's * team, in the colony, there is no country's army, how good will it be, the emperor's * team is at least disbanded, and then go to plunder, if the war between Britain and France is not over, it may begin, of course, the general trend! This is also the reason why many soldiers who serve in Egypt are reluctant to return home once they retire, and it is so easy to make money here.

In this way, Ma Xiangyang led people to knock on the doors of these rich people one after another, some cheated, some robbed, and when the French army began to enter the city at three o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Xiangyang returned to the military camp outside the city, after counting, he got about 50,000 pounds and some other currencies in this day, plus three mansions and countless antiques, famous paintings, gems, gold and silver products, the reason why only "bought" three mansions is because those rich people either honestly paid protection money or sold the factory to Ma Xiangyang in order to save their lives. Now Ma Xiangyang can be regarded as a big capitalist, and he has collected several long-staple cotton plantations in Mansoura at low prices, and now he has several companies and factories (three textile factories, two cement factories, and one butter processing factory) and three transport ships of more than 1,000 tons. It only took one day a day, he doubled his assets nearly 50 times, and I have to say that as soon as the cannon goes off, the phrase "ten thousand taels of gold" is talking about the huge military expenditure, and on the other hand, it is also saying that the benefits of the war are huge, of course, others will definitely not be bad.

Compared with Ma Xiangyang's sudden wealth, Luo Rongguang was more careful, because in addition to rescuing the trapped ambassador, he was also ordered to "empty the museum in Cairo" (historically, the museum was built in 1881 and designed by the famous French archaeologist Mariette, because Egypt is more prosperous now, so the museum was built and used in advance), the wealth of cultural relics was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the soldiers, but who made his emperor like it! At that time, Lin Hong ordered the collection of lost cultural relics from all over the world to make everyone think that the emperor liked these valuable things, so even if this museum was internationally famous, Luo Rongguang had to send it to the Afang Palace in Xianyang
