When negotiating with the ministers of the Seven Kingdoms at the Li Shunde Hotel in Tianjin again, Li Hongzhang wore a yellow vest given by the emperor, which was a bit like a shawl, with a dark blue brocade soft silk coat inside, and a black robe inside, and an official hat inlaid with gold rim, and a three-eyed flower feather on the top of the official hat.

During negotiations, Li Hongzhang's cheekbones are high but not sloppy, his face always has a peaceful expression, and his eyes are shining with wisdom. Zhu Erdian's attitude also quietly changed this time, these days, he and Song Xiaofei almost every night to talk long, Song Xiaofei painted a huge pie for him, let him persuade the British political axe to support Li Hongzhang as president, welcome British capital into China to build modern factories, mining mining, and also promised to give some priority to the British railway, telegraph and other industries, Zhu Erdian persuaded the ministers of various countries to lower the conditions for the withdrawal of troops: 1. Severely punish Duanwang, Big Brother, and Fortitude. 2. The Qing Dynasty sent the prince to the eleven countries to apologize for his crimes, and set up a memorial arch at the place where the German minister Klinder was killed; 3. China pledges to strictly prohibit the people from participating in the movement to exclude foreigners and religious people; 4. Demarcate Yanjing Jingjiaomin Lane as the embassy boundary, and allow soldiers of various countries stationed in less than 50 to protect it; 5. Changing the Prime Minister's Yamen into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and becoming a specialized agency for China's political axe to negotiate with other countries; 6. Compensate all countries for their losses, and pay 1,500,000 taels of silver to each country; 7. With the help of experts and advisers from the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and France, China has carried out constitutional reforms to put an end to the exclusion of foreign countries.

Article 7 was the result of a secret discussion between Song Xiaofei and Zhu Erdian, who persuaded the American, French, and French ministers to agree, but the German minister to China received an order from Kaiser Wilhelm II: "You know that you are facing a cunning, brave, well-armed and cruel enemy. If you meet him, remember: don't sympathize with him, don't take prisoners of war. Fight ye bravely. So that the Chinese will not dare to peep at the Germans after a thousand years. ”

Therefore, the Germans did not agree to withdraw their troops, but the main forces of the Seven-Nation Alliance this time were the British army and the Russian army, and the German army was only about 900 people. At this time, Russia was mobilizing 170,000 infantry and cavalry alone, plotting to occupy South Manchuria by six routes, and did not want to turn against China at this time, so when Zhu Erdian agreed to withdraw its troops, Russia also agreed, France and the United States also agreed, and Italy and Austria-Hungary did not have any opinions.

Fight the Seven-Nation Alliance. Song Xiaofei was not sure, but against the 900 German army, Song Xiaofei had 15,000 new troops, and he was still confident, so he and Li Hongzhang's attitude towards Germany. Toughen it too.

Song Xiaofei decided to settle the German army in the capital before the German Field Marshal Wadsey led reinforcements to China, which was also in the interests of the British political axe. Zhu Erdian was very active in urging the British army and the armies of other countries to withdraw from Yanjing City. and signed a peace treaty with China.

As a result, the 5,000 new army led by Song Xiaofei drove the German army major Roissid with 900 German troops to the vicinity of the Bali Bridge.

Bali Bridge is eight miles away from Tongzhou in the east, thirty miles away from Yanjing City in the west, it is the throat of Yanjing City from Tongzhou, and the British and French troops attacked Yanjing City from here in 1860. Song Xiaofei took advantage of the bushes and jungles around the Bali Bridge. Earthen ramparts and trenches were built here, ready to fight to the death with the German army here, and the big sword king five also organized a hundred big sword team to help, and Tan Sitong also wore a moon-white robe. Dressed in a dark samurai outfit, he appeared with a seven-star sword.

Song Xiaofei saw that he crossed his waist with his left hand, held a sword in his right hand, thick eyebrows and handsome eyes, flashing like lightning, and there was an awe-inspiring righteousness on his body that stood like a mountain and was proud of death, and said: "Brother Zhuangfei, you are really 'a scholar and a sword, a family and a country, and an economic ambition for rivers and mountains', but the current battlefield is not a place for heroes, and you still have to rely on foreign guns and foreign cannons." ”

Tan Sitong said: "This heir naturally understands that I have studied martial arts with Fifth Brother Wang for many years, and if I fight hand-to-hand with the Germans later, I will go up to help." ”

Song Xiaofei nodded, signaled Tan Sitong and the big sword king five and their big knife team to retreat, after he inspected the terrain, and agreed with Xu Shichang that artillery, infantry, and cavalry were divided into southern, eastern, and western route armies, led by Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Wang Shizhen, respectively, and launched a general attack as soon as dawn.

That day just dawned, the eastern sky was still white, Song Xiaofei personally blew the horn of battle, Wang Shizhen's cavalry was full of blood, and launched an attack on the German army, which is known as the most powerful in the world, Roissid commanded the German army to line up the Krupp cannons and carry out artillery bombardment, Wang Shizhen's cavalry encountered the strong fire suppression of the German army and had to retreat to the trench.

Song Xiaofei was on the top of the mountain, holding binoculars, and found the gap in the southeast corner of the German army, which was close to the German headquarters, so he asked Duan Qirui's artillery to concentrate firepower to storm the German headquarters, and then let Wang Shizhen's cavalry attack.

Wang Shizhen commanded a thousand cavalry, desperately fighting for himself, shouting to kill the enemy, taking the opportunity to break through the German artillery defense line, rushed to the vicinity of the enemy's headquarters, and fought fiercely for more than an hour, killing and wounding more than 200 German soldiers.

Roisid rode a tall white horse and commanded the German infantry to counterattack, but was blocked by Feng Guozhang's dense infantry fire and shrapnel bombardment in the trenches, and suffered a large number of casualties.

The big sword king Wuyi saw that the opportunity to "capture the thief and capture the king first" came, and rushed forward in a few steps, the horse stepped forward, the long knife was horizontal, and a knife slashed at the legs of the Roised war horse, but the two legs of the poor white horse were cut off by the big sword king's five swords, and the blood gushed out, neighing miserably, and fell to the ground, throwing Roisid to the ground, Roishide struggled to get up from the ground, Tan Sitong was already holding the seven-star sword, and the sharp tip of the sword was against his throat.

Seeing that Tan Sitongsheng captured Roisid, Song Xiaofei ordered the new army to counterattack comprehensively, and in less than an hour, the battle was over, with more than 300 German dead and wounded and more than 300 captured.

Roisid was tied up in front of Song Xiaofei by Tan Sitong, and his mouth was grunting, expressing "dissatisfaction" in blunt Chinese.

Tan Sitong said with a straight color: "You are not convinced by the defeat of the Chinese with foreign guns and guns, Tan has heard that Europeans are good at fencing, I will use this seven-star sword in my hand to compete with you, I will definitely let you lose convincingly, how?" ”

When Roisid was a student at the German Army Non-commissioned Officer School, his fencing score was one of the best in his class, and he said: "If you lose, let me go!" If I lose, I'll call you 'master' right away, how about it?" ”

If it was the fifth big sword king and the Roissy derby, Song Xiaofei would definitely be relieved, but he didn't know how Tan Sitong's swordsmanship was, so he asked Tan Sitong: "The sword has no eyes, are you really sure to defeat him?" ”

Tan Sitong patted his chest and said that there was no problem, and Song Xiaofei ordered someone to give him Roisid's sword, and stated that it was just a competition, and the point was ......)
