Chapter 712: Burning Eyebrows
"What?" Lan'er's face turned pale, and she stood up with a brush.
Yi Xin came to report not hesitating on a sunny day, the foreigners dispatched more than 100 warships to storm the Dagukou fort, although the defenders resisted stubbornly, but could not stand the foreigner artillery many, after sinking three foreigner warships, the fort unfortunately fell, to the time the news came, the foreigners nearly 20,000 troops were attacking Tianjin City with all their might.
"Isn't it just a missionary who can't find it? Why are foreigners so arrogant? Lan'er was anxious and annoyed, tears rolling in her eyes.
Yi Xin also said with a worried face: "The defenders of Tianjin questioned the foreigners, and the foreigners said that we had killed his missionaries and wanted to fight to Beijing to take revenge. ”
"Go!" Lan'er had no master and waved his hand.
"Wow!" Yi Xingong stepped back.
After a while, the crowd in the palace of nourishing the heart surged, everyone knew that the foreigners had turned their faces, and according to the latest news, Tianjin fell at an unimaginable speed, more than 10,000 defenders were scattered, and the foreigners were rushing to Beijing.
Lan'er and Niu Hulu sat behind the curtain, constantly communicating, the little emperor Zaichun, poor still didn't know what was going on, and was making a big fuss: "I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I don't have a court meeting, I want to eat!" ”
"This, this, this" The eunuch was sweating profusely, crying and begging: "Your Majesty, my little ancestor, the two queen mothers have not eaten, you bear with it, it will be fine soon!" ”
"I'm hungry, I'm going to eat, woo woo wow, E-niang. I want to eat! Jae-chun suddenly burst into tears, banging and slapping the dragon case. He looked back with tears in his eyes.
"Alas~~" The ministers below shook their heads again and again, sighing. There is a tiger at the front door of the Qing Dynasty, and a wolf at the back door, seeing that the country is about to die, but this little ancestor is good, and he is still screaming to eat, but a child, what can he expect to understand?
Some people are secretly envious, ignorance is also a blessing, and some people even whimper. Crying to the sad place, it is even a handful of snot and tears!
"Enough! What kind of system does it become to howl in court? Lan'er couldn't bear it anymore, she was very upset, and suddenly slammed the table!
Lan'er's might, the crying in the hall stopped abruptly, and Jaechun also stopped crying in fright, although he didn't dare to cry loudly anymore, but his nose twitched. Looks pitiful.
Lan'er still wanted to scold, but Niu Hulu had already stopped him, and asked through the curtain: "I have short-haired tigers outside the Qing Dynasty, and there are foreigners who bully the door." The slightest carelessness will be the disaster of the destruction of the clan, and the ministers will be for the country or themselves. We should all be sincere and unanimous in going through the difficulties together. Now who will say what to do to get rid of foreigners? ”
Yi Xun snorted angrily: "Foreigners make a big fuss. What missionary is missing? It is nothing more than to see that my Qing Dynasty enemy is at present, and take advantage of the fire to rob, the top priority is to take advantage of the fact that the short hair has not yet known, we should concentrate our forces and defeat the invading foreigners, if we win, it can not only give the foreigners a major blow, but also deter the short hair not to act rashly, or can win a respite for my Qing Dynasty. ”
As he spoke, Yi Xun came out of the queue and knelt down to give a salute: "Please allow the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces, the slaves are willing to lead the elite of the Beijing camp to stop the foreigners!" ”
Zaiyuan immediately jumped out and said: "Don't be impulsive, if you lose, my Qing Dynasty will never recover, and the use of soldiers must be considered in the long run!" ”
"Do you just let foreigners deceive you?" Yi Xun shouted anxiously.
Duanhua persuaded: "The foreigner just wants money, not life, let's send someone to the foreigner to probe the wind to see what he wants and find out the details." ”
Su Shun also said: "The foreigner has always been insatiable, I am afraid that he will take advantage of the time of our country's trouble, the lion opened his mouth, so the preparation for war can not be put down, the slave thinks that he should immediately send someone to negotiate with the foreigner, and at the same time arrange a defense line at the Bali Bridge in Tongzhou on the outskirts of Beijing, in order to show my unyielding determination." ”
Lan'er glanced at Niu Hulu's family, Niu Hulu's nodded slightly, and said: "Spread the decree, the monks Glinqin, Yiyun and Ruilin led the Beijing camp to 50,000 overnight to Bali Bridge to set up defenses, and Yixin went to Tianjin to negotiate with foreigners!" ”
"Minion Command!" The four people who were named knelt down to receive their orders, and the brief pilgrimage meeting dispersed.
After dinner, Yi Xin rode out of Beijing, around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, 50,000 Qing troops also took advantage of the night to rush eastward, the next evening arrived at the Bali Bridge, at the same time, the main force of the Democratic Alliance has gathered on the bank of the Yellow River, launched artillery to bombard the opposite bank with superior firepower, and immediately erected a pontoon bridge after the Qing army along the river was defeated.
It took a day and a night to erect the pontoon bridge, and in another day, the troops of the five armies, together with the rest of the personnel and various equipment, crossed the Yellow River, and this day was November 14, and Yi Xin also brought news of the foreigners.
The foreigner demanded that the Qing court repay the loan of 300 million taels of silver in a lump sum, compensate 100 million taels of silver for the interest and expenses of the army, and compensate the missionary for his pension of 1 million taels of silver.
Suddenly, the Forbidden City was in an uproar, and everyone was angry!
You must know that the court can only take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the foreigner is 310 million taels as soon as he opens his mouth, which is not enough to pay off the debt, and the attitude of the foreigner is extremely arrogant, either give money, or attack Beijing, but it also hints that the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace can be used to pay off the debt, in addition, there is no room for negotiation.
The Qing court had neither the money nor the possibility of giving the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace to the foreigners, so the war broke out unsurprisingly.
Although there were 50,000 Qing troops in Baliqiao, and modern weapons and equipment were also used, the morale of the Qing army was low, and the weapons and ammunition reserves had not been replenished in the previous battles with the Democratic Alliance Army.
In just half a day, the Qing army was routed on all fronts, with more than 20,000 dead and wounded, the rest scattered and fled, and the coalition army suffered less than 1,000 casualties.
When the news reached Beijing, Beijing exploded, but not many people fled, because the foreigners pointed out that they wanted the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace to pay off their debts, which had little to do with ordinary people, of course, they were happy to stand by and watch, and if they fled at this time, and the family property was confiscated by the court, wouldn't there be no place to cry?
The palace was in chaos, but there was news that the 150,000 troops of the Democratic Alliance had crossed the Yellow River two days ago and were approaching the city of Dezhou!
This is undoubtedly burning eyebrows!
Zaiyuan hurriedly said: "Please take the emperor to Chengde immediately, it's too late, you can't leave if you want to, the slave is willing to escort the queen mother and the emperor of the two palaces!" ”
What else can an old guy protect and drive? It was clear that he wanted to escape, but Su Shun glanced at him with disdain, and said sharply: "You can't go, the soldiers are in a panic, and it is more dangerous to leave the city!" ”
Zaiyuan Zhenzhen said: "If you don't leave, will you sit and wait for the foreigners to kill you?" Su Shun, what kind of intentions do you have? ”
Su Shun said angrily: "What can this official have? Beijing is the capital of my Qing Dynasty, once the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces moved, let the foreigners loot, only afraid that the people's hearts will be lost, the people of Beijing will open the city gate to welcome the short hair, my Qing Dynasty will really be over! ”
After speaking, he bowed his hand to the little emperor: "When the national disaster is at hand, Prince Yi does not want to serve the country, but he wants to flee for fear of the enemy, and the impact is extremely bad, the slave asked the emperor to behead Prince Yi to show the public, in order to boost the morale of the army and the public opinion!" ”
"You, you!" Zaiyuan's face was flushed, and he pointed at Su Shun's nose and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the two queen mothers are Mingjian, it is obvious that Su Shun is secretly knotted with short hair, and he is trying to obstruct Chengde to avoid trouble, he is planning to open the city gate and offer the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces to surrender to the short hair, this person contains evil intentions, evil mothers, and the slaves are willing to ask the emperor to destroy Su Shun's family to eliminate the trouble!" ”
"Fuck you! Lao Tzu is an authentic banner man, the seventh grandson of Prince Zheng Xian, and his father Prince Zheng Shen. Su Shun was furious, and raised his foot and kicked it towards Zaigaki.
"Ouch!" With a cry of pain, Zaiyuan rolled to the ground, knelt down and cried: "Sushun dog thief actually drove forward to beat people, is there still the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces in his eyes?" Its unsubservient heart has been revealed, and the slave is willing to ask the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces to be the master of the slave, ouch~~"
"It's still light to hit you!" Su Shun rolled up his sleeves and spat disdainfully!
"Shut up, shut up the palace, and if there are those who dare to make noise, the family law will serve!" Lan Er's pretty face is iron-blue, and her chest rises and falls violently, when is it, these guys are still pinching, how can there be such a courtier in the Qing Dynasty who will not die?
Lan'er flashed a cold glint in her pretty eyes and glared at her one by one, at this time, you can see the difference between her and the Queen Mother of the East Palace, Niu Hulu has a gentle temperament and has no opinions, after hearing the unreasonable demands of foreigners and the news that the Democratic Alliance troops are besieging Texas, they are panicked and at a loss.
And when Zaiyuan made a request to avoid Chengde, she almost nodded in agreement, but it was only because Su Shun inserted a bar horizontally that she didn't lose her temper too much, but even so, she still looked at Lan'er nervously.
Lan'er has a strong personality, and is clever and intelligent, and has invisibly become another backbone of the Qing Dynasty after Xianfeng.
The commotion in the audience stopped instantly, and Lan'er asked, "Lord Gong, the situation is so far, what are your clever plans?" ”
Yi Xin muttered: "Indeed, as Lord Su said, if the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces avoid Chengde, I am afraid that they will never come back, and stay and do not leave, even if the foreigners are not too embarrassed, but they will be besieged by the short-haired groups that follow, and the means of treating my banner people with short-haired hairs, even if the emperor is willing to give up the country and be a common man, it is not possible, so, can we think of a way from the foreigners?" ”
Yi Xun was puzzled: "Sixth brother? What can be found from foreigners? With the speed of his march, tomorrow morning, the army will inevitably come to Beijing, will he be kind enough to let go? ”
Yi Xin shook his head and said: "The world's affairs, you can't get around a good word, and the profit is limited to the potential, take advantage of the situation, the water will come naturally, go against the trend, and the tendons will be broken and fractured."
Short-haired can be reached in a few days, if our flag people rely on Beijing to fight to the death with foreigners, only need to hold him for a few days, drag until short-haired arrives, then, how should foreigners deal with themselves? Do you want to avoid Japan? (To be continued......)
