When Ismail received the news that the south of the city was broken through by the squadron, he immediately turned his head and made it clear to Chen Zhen and the three of them, who were still in the German embassy, that he was coerced to participate in the turmoil, and that the behavior of the officers outside was not instructed by him.

All three of them understood that it was only up to their respective domestic reactions before they could finally discuss whether or not to continue to let Ismail be the puppet in Egypt

The street fighting continues, but after all, the emperor * team is not the Egyptian army can match, the Egyptian army does not even have the concept of street fighting, this is relying on the nearest building to attack the emperor * team, compared to the chaotic harassment of the Egyptian army, the emperor * team can be said to be carrying out exquisite attack tactics, three or five groups with snipers step by step to sweep the Egyptian army in the houses on the street.

At about 1 p.m. on 10 January, the Imperial Legion had already begun to surround the German Embassy, but in order to avoid accidental injuries and injuries caused by the Egyptian army's dogs jumping over the wall, the troops of the three countries did not storm it.

At about 3 p.m., the French approached the northern outskirts of Cairo, but by this time the soldiers of the northern suburbs had been transferred into the city, and the French army did not receive any hindrance and even began to attack the Pasha Palace on Zamalik Island (the island in the Nile). After the capture of the Pasha Palace, because the Egyptian army basically had little resistance, the French army moved south to join the squadron on the one hand, and began organized looting and * operations on the other hand.

Approaching the evening at five o'clock in the afternoon, Ismail finally ordered the young Zhuang faction to lay down their arms, and it should be rehabilitated, and the representatives of the three countries were rescued and immediately sent a telegram to the country to seek domestic opinions, and Ismail returned to the Pasha Palace under the "protection" of the Chinese and French troops, looking at the messy palace Ismail did not say a word, no one knew what he was thinking now, maybe regret or anger, he was destined to become the sorrow of history.

The Colonial Minister's opinion was to release Egypt from the Ottomans as a colony of China, France and Britain, and many cabinet members had such thoughts because of the existence of the Suez Canal. However, some cabinet members, including the foreign minister, led by Wang Minyun (the teacher of Yang Du, the last successor of the emperor's mental arts), believed that in order to continue to maintain Ismail's status, he must be an absolute puppet. Wei Yuan believes that it is necessary to wait and see how the British deal with the situation, after all, the British are the biggest beneficiaries in Egypt and Cairo.

In the end, Zeng Guofan still chose the safest way - wait. Wait for the attitude of Britain and France to make plans, and leave all matters to the Cairo Conference delegates, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the ambassador to Egypt, Zhang Zhidong, to decide for himself. Because there is no radio and the cable from Egypt to the empire has not yet been laid, it takes too long for the news of Egypt to be transmitted back to China, which is not conducive to the handling of such an important foreign affairs, so the cabinet gave Chen Zhen carte blanche to deal with the incident-

Cairo, Egypt can be said to be in chaos, chaos. The squadron and the French team teamed up to sack this ancient city with a long history and splendid civilization.

At 4 p.m. on 10 January, the Imperial Brigades officially began the "inventory of cultural relics" in the Cairo Museum in Egypt, declaring to the public that unnecessary losses would not be caused by lawbreakers and thieves. By seven o'clock in the evening, the Chinese and French troops had returned to their respective barracks. According to internal calculations, when the soldiers returned to Suez and Port Said from Cairo, the average "reward" per person reached 8,000 Chinese dollars (the exchange rate of the British pound Chinese dollar was 1:375, that is, four Chinese dollars and one pound, and one pound in 1870 was equivalent to more than 7,000 pounds in 2008, which means that every soldier of the Egyptian Legion was a millionaire in Britain in 2008, and 2 Chinese dollars in 1870 was enough for the domestic people to spend a day. In 1870, the per capita GDP of the British was about 100 pounds, and the per capita GDP of the empire was only 46 pounds because of the large population base) In addition, with the surrender of cultural relics and the sale of war trophies, they will also receive a large amount of "subsidies" from the Soldiers Subsidy Foundation (cultural relics are handed over to the government, and the government will not treat these soldiers badly, so the money will be distributed by the Foundation in the form of subsidies, and the soldiers' trophies are generally sold to the Foundation).

With the end of the army's plunder, Cairo was restored to calm under the intervention of the guards of the embassies of the three countries, Chen Zhen looked at the calm Cairo city on the second floor of the embassy and licked his wounds silently, but this calm suddenly frightened him, and the Egyptians either died or broke out in this calm.

The turmoil in Egypt had spilled over into the embassies of all the Great Powers in Egypt, and the Cairo Conference had added a special measure to the situation in Egypt. The international impact of this turmoil was so great that many European countries, especially those on the Mediterranean coast, strongly demanded that troops be stationed in the embassy district in Cairo, but this was a clear violation of the basic treaty between China, France, and Britain on the handling of Egyptian affairs.

As for the treatment of the Egyptian Pasha Ismail, due to the mediation of the Queen of England and the consideration of France, he continued to serve as the nominal head of Egypt. However, apart from allowing China, Britain and France to garrison troops outside Cairo, the Egyptian Pasha no longer had actual command of military operations, and the command of the Egyptian army was transferred to a joint council composed of the top military commanders of the three Egyptian armed forces -

Ma Xiangyang has been very busy these days, busy selling the three villas and mansions he "bought" in Cairo, as for who to sell to? Sold to the original owner. In this way, Ma Xiangyang's cash in his hand is nearly 60,000 pounds more, plus the loan from the Royal Bank, and now Ma Xiangyang's cash assets have reached 380,000 Chinese yuan. Ma Xiangyang decided to invest 200,000 yuan in the "Sefaj-Kena" railway line, and the economic value of this railway line is obvious. The remaining 180,000 Ma Xiangyang are ready to invest in his new factories and plantations, knowing that Egyptian long-staple cotton is not comparable to the industrial cotton produced in the southern United States, it is an important raw material for spinning high-grade and special cotton textiles. Long-staple cotton has better warmth because the fiber of cotton is longer than that of ordinary cotton. At this time, the domestic long-staple cotton has just been tried in the coastal areas of Guangxi and Guangdong, he knows that this is a good way to make a fortune, the domestic demand for long-staple cotton is not big or small, the vast area of the empire north of the Tropic of Cancer is actually the market for long-staple cotton, and the products are oriented to the middle and upper classes of the empire with large profits, plus now Ma Xiangyang has a plantation and three long-staple cotton textile factories, the production line is basically complete, and there are transport ships to help him transport the products back to China. All he has to do is get the production chain up and running as quickly as possible. Then wait to make money
