On December 19, a series of sails rose in the sky and sea at the Dagukou Fort, like clouds pressed down to the sea level

The poignant sound of the horn resounded through all six large batteries and eleven earthen batteries at the mouth of Dagu, the gunners rushed to the gun emplacements, and the defenders took their guns to protect the forts, all of them were calm and calm, as if they were resolute.

As the newspaper said, the Nanban Naval Division arrived as scheduled, and the officers and soldiers of Dagukou had been waiting for many days.

"Eat the Qing Dynasty and repay the grace of the Qing Dynasty! Gentlemen, I hope that I will live and die together! ”

The general soldier of Tanggu and Shou, who were ordered to be in danger, waved their swords and shouted, and the officers and soldiers under his command shouted accordingly.

"Hurry up and fire, Lao Tzu can only retreat when the cannon sounds, Lao Tzu can retreat, you can retreat!"

Turning his head and Shou, he urged Zhang Yuanliang to guard Dagukou, but as a veteran of Dagukou, Zhang Yuanliang, who had experienced the incident of Dagukou twelve years ago, had a hard time accepting Heshou's plan.

He Shou angrily rebuked Zhang Yuanliang's capitulationism: "Empty cannon!? Rat! Lao Tzu is here to fight the Southern Barbarians, not to welcome the Southern Barbarians! ”

Zhang Yuanliang begged: "The Nanban cannon is ten miles away, the head is still sufficient, the live bombardment, the water column, the Nanban must think that we have to sacrifice our lives to resist, and when the time comes, a hundred cannons will cover the ground, and we will not be able to retreat!" Total Rong! ”

He Shou sneered: "Ten miles away? Accurate head? Can Nanban practice demon law? Lao Tzu was born in the Xishan battalion, and the artillery is clear, don't fool me with these nonsense. On land, you can't find a cannon that can fight ten miles and has a straight head, let alone a sea ...... If you don't fire the cannon yet, do you want Lao Tzu to blow you out of the barrel? ”

As a post-00 generation, He Shou only joined the army in the Qianlong era, and climbed all the way up in the Xishan Battalion, known as the first battalion of the Qing Dynasty, and claimed to be a gun expert. It is precisely this pride that was appointed by Ru Xi and Yan Huang as the chief soldier of Tanggu and responsible for the shore defense of Tanggu. Of course, up to Ru Xi and down to Heshou himself, the goal is to defeat the Qing Dynasty and be decent.

There is also a measure of defeat and defeat, Zhang Yuanliang's statement angered Heshou. I only want to bow down, and you want me to lick my feet?

Not only to open fire, but also to fire live ammunition, but also to fire a group of artillery!

Kazuki gave an order. Zhang Yuanliang and a group of veteran gunners looked like ashes.

A series of cannons rang out, and the five 10,000-jin cannons, 26 6,000-jin cannons, and 42 3,000-jin cannons of the Dagukou Fort spoke. How mighty! As many Nanban comes, you have to destroy as much as you want!

"The three battalions of these Tartar ......"

Zhang Yuanliang secretly scolded himself, and then looked back and forth with his subordinates, ready to slip away.

"Boom again! Nanban is still six or seven miles away, and it can still be bombarded! ”

Looking at the jagged and undulating water column on the sea, Heshou came to the spirit and wanted to change his battle report of "fighting hard for half a day, and the cannon crack is retreating" to "the bullet is retreating".

Zhang Yuanliang just opened his mouth. I saw a series of muffled sounds on the sea in the distance, and the sail stratus cloud raised a white smoke, and it was Nanban who opened fire.

saw Zhang Yuanliang and the Tanggu veterans hiding like rats. He Shou shook his head disdainfully, knowing that you Han people have no guts...... What's there to hide? Nanban is just firing a cannon to strengthen his courage.

Boom Boom Boom ......

In the next moment, the Fortress Mountain shook the ground, and the orange flames of light wrapped up the pillar of skyrocketing dust, engulfing the entire space. The sound of the collapse of the fort wall, the screams of people, and the dull sound of something smashing on the human body almost tore Kazusu's eardrums, but he couldn't even cover his ears, and he was pressed to the ground by a pile of green bricks. The bannermen, who had been majestic and high-spirited before, shouted nervously. There was a mess, and some people shouted, "The end times have come!" ”

The end of the Qing Dynasty has not yet come, but the end of the Dagukou Fort has come very neatly, first the flowering shells fired by the three-inch cannon shrouded the open-air fort without cover, wantonly killing and injuring the fragile human body, and then the solid round bullets of the 20-pound and 30-pound guns brutally destroyed the fort building. …,

Afterwards, Zhang Yuanliang didn't have much resentment and longevity. If a man is dead, why hold a grudge?

"I still don't know how to live or die......"

On the helm of the battleship, Feng Must, the commander of the left division of the Fubo Army, expressed his emotion that he had revisited his hometown and that the scenery was still the same. Twelve years ago, it was the same way, the Qing army of the Dagukou Fort fired a cannon, and then it was bombarded into pieces, twelve years later, he thought that the Qing army would release a few empty cannons, which seemed to be resisting, but it was really welcome, but he didn't want the fort to fire a group of cannons, as if he was determined to resist.

Four battleships, four cruisers, and ten troop transports, although the fleet that was supposed to be transferred to Japan to deter the Tokugawa shogunate was not large, but for the Qing army, the fleet firepower was enough to crush all resistance. Just the sixteen three-inch guns in the bow of the ship against the enemy when the fleet maneuvered could inflict fatal damage on those primitive batteries at the mouth of Dagu. After approaching four or five miles, the bombardment of more than 200 smoothbore guns was like hail, and even if Dagukou had been renovated, it would be as fragile as paper paste in the face of such firepower.

Surrounded by the British and Chinese, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had almost cut off most of the external communication channels, had long lagged behind the world, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the Yongzheng era had relied on the Spaniards to catch up with them once, and the wreckage of the Xishan camp left behind also raised a comprehensive firearms Qing army. However, whether it is tactics or equipment, the Manchu Qing's understanding of the Anglo-Chinese naval power is even far inferior to that of the Japanese, and this is the first time that the Manchus have been bombarded by the breeching rifled guns of the Anglo-Chinese Navy.

The troop carriers of the assault formation lowered the fast boats and carried two battalions of 2,000 volt Polish troops ashore, and one battalion went to Beitang to control the core part of the Dagukou Fort. The Qing army, which was bombarded, fled, surrendered, and did not resist any longer. Another battalion broke into the port of Tanggu and occupied the empty port.

"What about people?"

After Feng must have gone ashore, he was very puzzled by this situation, and said that he didn't dare to resist, someone had to come and ask for surrender, and said that he wanted to resist, what about people?

People are all there, and a large number of Qing soldiers are holding a large number of prisoners, waiting in the city. When the Fubo army sentinel appeared, the Manchu officials began to shout.

"Strange...... Kill to show us? ”

Hearing the report of his subordinates that the Qing people were going to deal with the murderers of the previous Tanggu riots in public, Feng must have felt incredible. While the fort fired cannons to resist, the city set up a posture of pleading...... This Tartar's mind is truly amazing.

Since it is magical, it cannot be missed, Feng must have led his subordinates to rush to watch, and saw that on the rubble of the warehouse merchant hall, rows of prisoners knelt neatly, with grass sticks on their necks, and their names were written. The first row is still an official, ranging from Tanggu Tongzhi, the former Tanggu garrison to the supervision of commercial customs.

Seeing the Yinghua general flag appear, the official who supervised the beheading in front of him gave an order. The executioner wheeled the broadsword, the cold light flashed in rows, and the heads of rows of prisoners rolled to the ground, even the officers and soldiers of Fubo who had experienced the killing of the four seas. also subconsciously swallowed saliva. A scene flashed in everyone's mind, a man with a full face of flesh, holding a knife and stabbing himself deadly, shouting while stabbing: "Come on! Come and hit me! See if you dare! ”

Row after row, full of three or four hundred people, plus the heads that were brought out later, said the officials who came to contact them with trepidation. In addition to the murderers who committed murder and destroyed property, and the military and political officials who had to be responsible, there were also accomplices with serious circumstances, and a total of 1,760 people were executed, ten times the number of martyrs before Yinghua. In this way, the Qing Dynasty hoped to show its sincerity in dealing with the murderers severely and quickly, and to continue to maintain peace with the British.

"Sincerity? Sincerity is that all the great armies you have placed on the west side of Tanggu have surrendered, otherwise we will assume that you will continue to resist......"

To be honest, Feng must have expressed his insistence. You really have to restrain your pity, everyone is crawling on the ground and licking their feet, and you have to step on other people's faces. Kicking someone's waist and eye, this requires extraordinary determination. …,

Sure enough, the official crawled on the ground and hugged Feng Zhi's legs and cried.

Even if Feng must have wanted to stop, his subordinates did not agree, and this time the northbound questioning was temporarily expanded by the troops originally scheduled to be sent to Japan, with the Fubo army as the protagonist. The four battalions of the left division and the two battalions of the right division, plus the servant troops of Siam, Burma, Annam, Cambodia, Lanna, Lancang, and Vientiane brought from the South Sea, as well as the Japanese Satsuma soldiers and Korean soldiers who converged in the Bohai Sea, totaled 12 countries and 18,000 troops. There are no cardinals. There was no heavy artillery, and there was no preparation for attacking the city and plundering the land, but the minimum goal was to force the city of Beijing and ask the Manchu Qing to sign an alliance under the city.

Feng must have been a crusading army of the Twelve Kingdoms, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty smashed merchant houses and destroyed merchants. It's not just the interests of Yinghua that are being harmed. Although Yinghua monopolized the trade with the Qing Dynasty, it served as an interface to transport goods from various countries. In this turmoil, from Japan to Korea, from Annam to Siam, all countries suffered huge losses. Even the ministers of Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal expressed their willingness to follow the British and Chinese to ask the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the countries of Europa had other intentions, and the emperor scoffed at his request, and only allowed his younger brothers in Asia to follow, if it were not for the fact that the Western company was overthrowing the princely state king of Bengal at this time, and the relationship with the Tianzhu Mughal dynasty had become cold, maybe this army would have become a coalition of thirteen countries.

"Surrender? That's not good, it's even worse, so let's go and tell General Feng, let's escort left and right, don't misunderstand, don't do it. ”

Yan Huang, who led the banner soldiers of the 20,000 Fengtai battalion to guard the west of Tanggu, had nothing to do, so he came up with such a move. Of course, it is not possible to let the 12-nation alliance army enter Beijing, but he will definitely not be able to defeat it, and he can only do his best to follow all the way to Beijing to show the existence of the Qing Dynasty. Let's not fight or fall, just play soy sauce to maintain a sense of existence.

Feng must reply very neatly: All forces that are not under the control of this army are regarded as enemies, and soy sauce is played? No way! Fight without surrendering in two days!

When Yan Huang was waiting for the Yinghua army, he was already restless and constipated for many days, and at this time, he was even more anxious to have sores on both mouths at the same time. And Feng must be gearing up with his subordinates, the expected battle of Tanggu is gone, and it is worth this trip to clean up the Fengtai camp of the Manchu Qing Dynasty here.

On the 20th, people came from Beijing, both from the Manchu Dynasty and the Yinghua General Office, Yan Huang was relieved, and it is said that he ran to the toilet for half an hour on the spot. And Feng must have a constipated expression on his face, and someone from the general office said that Chen Run had done it in Beijing, and the general trend had been decided. The coalition forces could reach outside Beijing to deter, but they no longer had to fight the Qing army.

When the Empress Dowager Cichun took Emperor Daoguang on her "northern tour", the general trend was actually set, and these days Chen Run was discussing the specific details with Qingfu, and there were not too many differences about the industrial and commercial terms and compensation, but the Shanxi miners' rebellion became an obstacle, so that it has dragged on until now.

According to the public opinion in the country and the needs of the general righteousness of the north and the south, the emperor instructed Chen Run to "mediate" the "conflict" between the Manchu army and the miners in Shanxi. The negotiations were rampant, and Qingfu, Zhang Tingyu and other important ministers who stayed in Beijing could not make their own decisions, so they could only urgently ask the Empress Dowager Cichun of Rehe for instructions.

Opinions went back and forth several times, and the Empress Dowager Cichun finally agreed to Chen Run's request, stopped the encirclement and suppression, and moved the rebellious miners from Shanxi by Yinghua. The rebels did not stay under the rule of the Qing Dynasty and became a model for the grass people, and this result was barely acceptable.

In the twenty-second year of the Great British Holy Road, the second year of Jiaqing in the Manchu Dynasty, at the end of December, Tanggu related matters were also added. The agreement that was supposed to be the Third Amendment and Supplement to the Beijing Treaty became the Tanggu Treaty.

The treaty was divided into three parts, one part was the liquidation of the previous riot crimes and compensation, in addition to punishing the murderers, the Manchus also had to pay 14 million taels of silver. This was the total amount of silver retained by the Manchu treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and at the same time, Tanggu was no longer garrisoned, and at the same time, Yinghua garrisoned troops, becoming a de facto ceded land. …,

The second part is the increase in industrial and commercial contracts, the Manchu Qing Dynasty fully opened the market, allowed the British and Chinese industry and commerce to invest freely, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not allowed to monopolize industrial and commercial finance by official institutions such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At the same time, it accepts the Anglo-Chinese Commercial Court to adjudicate commercial disputes. These terms greatly exceeded the initial increase submitted by the Tongshu to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but now, the Empress Dowager Cichun can only pinch her nose and admit it.

The third part is the disposal of the miners in Shanxi, and the 7,000 rebel miners in Shanxi will be granted Anglo-Chinese nationality, guaranteed by loans provided by the Anglo-Chinese government, and they will be allowed to go wherever they choose.

In the twenty-third year of the Holy Dao, the first year of Daoguang of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the time of the Lantern Festival. In the Rehe Palace, Ru Xi shrank on the soft collapse where Yongzheng once sit, and glanced at almost all the ministers who were full of people. Youyou said: "We have to prepare for the back road......

After this catastrophe, although the "Tanggu Treaty" did not overturn the Qing Dynasty, Ru Xi also saw that the rope had been strangled around his neck. The seizure of the monopoly of industry and commerce means that the pillars of the building are beginning to collapse. Although it is still possible to establish a chamber of commerce and monopolize it with unspoken rules, it will no longer be able to firmly entrench itself in industrial and commercial profits. And the Yinghua passed through the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the pace of erosion of the north with the silver bullet evil path will inevitably accelerate sharply. The Anglo-Chinese newspapers were already openly discussing the transformation of the north, and the Manchu national fortunes were actually at the last moment.

However, Ru Xi is proud that the "Tanggu Treaty" did not immediately strangle the Qing Dynasty after all, and there is still a chance to breathe. The resurgence is a dream. Looking for a way out for the Manchurians, but there is still a glimmer of possibility.

"These days, there is chaos in the north, but Yan Guogong is watching from the wall, I'm afraid he has been prepared."

"Guan Nian Qianyao is quite ambitious and has the intention of being self-reliant. But he took Zuo Weisheng and other corrupt Confucians as his support, even if he set up a great cause, he was still a rotten thing like the previous Ming. ”

"That's right, outside the gate is my hometown, and it's time to focus on business."

As long as Yinghua is not involved, Manchen is always calm, and the direction he talked about also made Ru Xi very happy, that's right, there is still his hometown.

"Outside the switch, the Han people are allowed to go to the border to cultivate, but they have to choose the Han people who have no intention of Nantou, and they have to be compiled into the flag register. Stay for three or five years, even if you can't stay here, there will be a place to survive outside the gate. ”

As long as Yinghua is not involved, Ru Xi's mind has also returned to a normal level, and the policy of developing outside the customs has been decided. At the same time, plans such as replacing Xibao, guarding Nian Qianyao, and sending people to enter North Korea in the name of the suzerain, and starting to control the situation in North Korea were also released at the same time.

"Did you finally hit me with the idea?"

In Pyongyang, Nian Qianyao sneered after receiving the secret report.

"I'm afraid that the witch doesn't know that as soon as the Tanggu Treaty is established, the signboard of the Qing Dynasty has completely stinked, and she still thinks that she can hold this plaque and do such a meticulous thing. Dashuai, I think the time is almost up. ”

Zuo Weisheng is full of confidence, and he is still agitating Nian Qianyao.

Nian Qianyao sighed: "It's better to slow down, I'm afraid that the Holy Dao will remember us ......."

He looked east and said, "Go back to Ningguta!" Let's continue to hibernate, and when the great cause of the Holy Dao is fixed, he will be eternal, and he should not care too much about ants like us at that time, guarding another great righteousness of the Han people in the bitter cold land. ”

At the Yamen, the governor of Jinan Prefecture in Shandong, Liu Tongxun looked at the "Tanggu Treaty" listed in the newspaper, and suddenly felt an extremely relaxed sense of detachment.

"Great Qing Dynasty...... It will be almost finished, and the righteousness which I keep will be shattered. ”

He sighed faintly, took a long sip of wine from his neck, and laughed nervously.

"Okay, okay, just see how this building collapses, just see how that building rises."

In Zhuozhou, He Zhi, who was dressed in rags, curled up on the street, and the shouts of the newsboy came and went, "Yingqing is eternal peace, the north and the south are no longer separated, read the newspaper and read the newspaper, five coppers are a ......"

"Peace? Phew! The imperial court must have been hijacked by traitors! This court is hopeless! ”

The weather is very cold, but He Zhi's heart is hot, he feels that the world is full of traitors, and he still has a sincere and loyal heart.

"In the past, we were against the Qing Dynasty, just like the anti-Ming Dynasty, but now it's different, the Nanban doesn't treat us as human beings, and when we hit the north, we all have to be slaves, and we have to protect the Qing Dynasty!"

When he was lonely, he suddenly heard a group of labor-dressed people muttering while walking, and the words vaguely floated out made He Zhi's eyes light up, like-minded!

"The Southern Barbarian Demon Law is powerful! We have to practice boxing and practice! Break the demon law of the Southern Barbarians! ”

"Not only do we practice, but we also have to call everyone to practice together!"

Hearing this, He Zhi hurriedly followed, look, the career passed down by the mentor is not borne by him alone, and the comrades have come to their senses!

In the twenty-third year of the Holy Dao, in 1741, the war between the north and the south finally came to an end with the signing of the "Tanggu Treaty", but for the north and the south, this was just a pause, just a short intermission.
