After Zhanyang left, Lin Hai faced this huge globe deliberately transported from Guangzhou, the blue sea water divided the continent all, whoever can master the ocean, who can control their own lifeline, otherwise it is equivalent to putting their lifeblood in the hands of others, although plundering and colonization are very bloody and cruel, but this is a basic law of nature, the survival of the fittest, can you get sympathy just by tears? Relying on sympathy to live is a continuation of tragedy, Lin Haijiang turned the globe and turned his mind back to the battlefield at home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although, now there have been criticisms within the empire because of the policies implemented by the southeastern provinces and the Indochina Peninsula, but Lin Haijiang doesn't care, these so-called enlightened people are under the control of the imperial intelligence department, if it is just to be in the limelight and shout a few times, Lin Haijiang will show enough magnanimity, but if there is some background of insinuation or other political purposes, then Lin Haijiang can only be sorry for it, Hainan Island has a lot of sand to dig up, Let these guys who don't talk through their brains experience the essence of the imperial open-boil education!

The empire is a ruling body, and the flower of freedom needs to be watered with the blood of martyrs, and there is nothing without sacrifice! The only thing that Lin Haijiang can avoid is to win the final victory at the lowest cost on this road, maybe even Lin Haijiang himself knows that this may be very difficult, but before trying and failing, Lin Haijiang will never give up easily.

In the autumn of September, it has not yet reached the end of the month, and Yanjing City at this time of the year is the season when the autumn tigers are raging, perhaps the early chill reveals that this year's winter will be a rare winter in a century? Yixin glanced at the capital at night and sighed with emotion in his heart, for whether to set fire to the city, Yixin and Ci'an, Cixi and the queen mother of the two palaces repeatedly studied several times, but did not come up with a result, and finally the military aircraft department proposed to burn, Yixin only then realized that the original Hanchen was much more courageous than the full crew!

In a huge Yanjing City, how many generations of emperors in the Ming and Qing dynasties have been soaked in the royal gardens of skilled craftsmen? Who would dare to burn a fire? Even Li Zicheng's peasant army entered Yanjing, but did not dare to set fire to the city? Moreover, Lin Haijiang's army was in Tianjinwei, and the other party had made it clear through the news that if his side wanted to burn the city and destroy the garden, then the Chinese Imperial Army would attack the retreating contingent of the Qing court, and the attack would be carried out regardless of the military and the people.

Yixin knows very well that once the city is set on fire, I am afraid that the last bit of gas in the Qing Dynasty will be burned out, what Lin Haijiang wants is a complete Yanjing City, if you don't set fire, you can at least go more stable, and the treasures in the Old Summer Palace can also choose some fine products to take with you, no matter what aspect you consider, it is unwise to burn the city.

On September 22, 1863, the imperial intelligence agencies received accurate information that the main members of the Qing royal family and ministers had begun to secretly evacuate Yanjing City.

On October 9, 1863, the Chinese Imperial Führer's Division followed the fleeing Qing army into the chaotic Yanjing City, and Lin Haijiang, who had arrived at Dagukou on the heavy cruiser Yanjing, quickly went to Yanjing under the protection of the escort brigade, Lin Haijiang was worried that the Qing court would carry out large-scale destruction and arson before retreating, so he sent more than 120 squads of armed military police special forces and Marine Corps reconnaissance teams into Yanjing in advance, intending to prevent the Qing army's final destruction of Yanjing City.

When Lin Haijiang arrived in Yanjing City, he had entered the city gate, and he saw the devastation and mess everywhere, most of the corpses that died on the side of the street were some civilians, Zhang Zheng's troops under the First Army had been under martial law in the city for more than two hours, but the city was still full of gunfire?

Lin Haijiang looked at the Western Ocean under the escort of the troops, and the gunfire in all directions in the city became more urgent? Lin Haijiang knew that at least three or more corps of troops had entered Beijing at this moment, but why could the security in the city not be stabilized for a long time?

Da, da! The unique firing sound of the Chinese Empire's general-purpose machine gun made Lin Haijiang glance at the direction of the Old Summer Palace worriedly?

"Run forward! The troops rushed to the Old Summer Palace at full speed! Fast! After Lin Haijiang gave the order, he got off the carriage directly, flew on a horse, pulled the reins violently and roared: "The cavalry battalion follows me!" ”

Although the Führer's Guard Brigade is nominally a brigade as an imperial guard force, it is composed of twelve reinforced battalions, especially two cavalry battalions, each battalion is a standard full combat establishment of one thousand and thirty-nine people, although Lin Haijiang feels that his horse is riding quite well, but there seems to be a big gap compared with these carefully selected and absolutely loyal and reliable cavalry.

Soon, dozens of guards surrounded Lin Haijiang with horses in the middle, and the cavalry on both sides quickly accelerated to overtake the past, obviously grabbing the front of the Führer to open the way, these cavalrymen carrying Imperial Type II horse rifles, each with two Mauser pistols, were also equipped with an Imperial Type 1 cavalry knife made of new high-manganese alloy steel.

The Old Summer Palace is located in the western suburbs of Yanjing Sijiu City, adjacent to the Summer Palace, which was founded in 1709 in the 46th year of Kangxi, and consists of three gardens: the Old Summer Palace, the Changchun Garden and the Wanchun Garden. There are more than 100 garden landscapes, it is a super large royal palace created and operated by the Qing Dynasty in more than 150 years, in October 1860, the Old Summer Palace was looted and burned by the British and French forces, this event became a page of humiliation in modern Chinese history, but because of Lin Haijiang's efforts to turn the tide, the Old Summer Palace was not looted and burned by the British and French forces, most of the British and French officers and soldiers who plundered the Old Summer Palace and got rich in history sank to the bottom of the sea outside the mouth of Dagu, and only a very few people survived.

Lin Haijiang's biggest concern at the moment is whether the location of the Old Summer Palace is safe? There are more than 100 gardens and landscape buildings in the three gardens of the Old Summer Palace, that is, the later generations usually say a hundred scenes, the whole garden set palaces, pavilions, pavilions, corridors and other garden buildings, the Old Summer Palace embodies the essence of ancient Chinese gardening art, is the world's most outstanding large-scale royal garden, it inherits China's excellent gardening tradition of more than 3,000 years, both the grace and luxury of the palace building, and the euphemism of the garden of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, at the same time, it draws on the European garden architectural form, The integration of different styles of garden architecture makes people feel harmonious and perfect in the overall layout.

Moreover, it also occupies an extremely important position in the history of garden architecture in the world, and its reputation has spread to Europe, known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens".

Lin Haijiang knew that the retreat of the Qing court would definitely take away a large part of the precious cultural relics and treasures, but most of the treasures could not be taken away, Lin Haijiang remembered that in history the Old Summer Palace was looted by the British and French forces, but the first arson and the continuous looting of tens of thousands of people and bandits was the real fatality, although the British and French troops were full of carriages and warships, but they looted only three or four percent of the treasures in the Old Summer Palace, and most of the treasures they could not take away! Moreover, the main attention of the British and French forces was focused on gold, silver, jewelry, and ware, and the more precious porcelain, bone ware, lacquerware, bronze ware, etc., although there are different opinions about this in history, but about 100,000 foolish people participated in the plundering and arson.

Lin Haijiang absolutely can't allow the Old Summer Palace to have the slightest loss in his hands, all the way to the horse, the gunfire in the direction of the Old Summer Palace seems to be dense, and there is a certain intermittent surname, from time to time the corpse that fell on the side of the road attracted Lin Haijiang's attention?

Lin Haijiang dismounted to check, the man who was hacked to death on the road by the cavalry vanguard was holding a bronze tripod in his arms, and the few people who were killed on the side of the road were some porcelain, and some were carrying a chair? Lin Haijiang knew that what he was most worried about might have happened, that is, because the news of the Qing court's withdrawal from Yanjing City came very suddenly, coupled with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, a large number of rioters began to flock to the Old Summer Palace and the Forbidden City.

Standing outside the Old Summer Palace, which had been on fire in many places, Lin Haijiang looked at those crazy people in a daze, they were shouting and roaring wildly with red eyes, in order to grab treasures, chaotic people poured into the Old Summer Palace from all directions, they wantonly plundered all of them in a hurry, and they were all in a hurry! In order to snatch a treasure, they even beat each other and drew knives, because there are too many treasures in the garden, some of the rioters don't know what to do for a while, some move away the cloisonne porcelain vase, some covet the robes embroidered with gold sheets, some choose precious fur coats, and some go to get the wall clock inlaid with pearls and jade! Some carried large pockets filled with all kinds of treasures, some of them put gold bars and gold leaves into the wide pockets of their coats, some of them were wrapped in brocade silk half-through, or they used their felt hats full of rubby sapphires, pearls, crystals, etc., and some wore jade collars around their necks, and those ancient books were trampled on the ground or burned in the fire.

Lin Haijiang waved his hand like ice: "Kill!" A knife that does not stay, a knife close to cut a distant shot, quell the riot as quickly as possible, minimize the losses, order the second army to pull a net from the periphery fifty miles to search, take the initiative to confess the past, where there is a crime of hiding and robbery, the law will be corrected on the spot! ”

Originally, the various units had some scruples about shooting and suppressing, but when the order of the Führer's Guard Brigade was transmitted, the troops immediately began to quickly clean up the disorderly people, and the ten-round magazine of the Imperial II rifle plus bayonets became the main force, and groups of rebellious people who sacrificed their lives and money were driven away and divided and eliminated in the courtyard, especially the rioters who wantonly set fire to the courtyard, basically all of them were killed on the spot.
