In the Battle of Dagukou, the Anglo-French forces suffered a crushing defeat, which was caused by their unfamiliarity with the geography of the sea area, and the massacre of the Anglo-French forces by the official army was directed by Yang Meng and Qin Ziqi.

Getting off the negotiating ship, Yang Meng anticipated the plan of Ergin and others to break the information blockade, this battle of Dagukou, the British and French forces were mainly for demonstration, and the result was a massacre by mistake, which was undoubtedly the best result for Yang Meng.

"Inform Zeng Disheng, Zuo Jigao, and Feng Guifen, during this time, maintain strong pressure on the Taiping Army, let my second brother also move, these few months, must not give Yang Xiuqing a chance to fight!

Inform Taichen that the mines will also be transported to Denglai and Liaodong in the near future, and this time is just a gap, and Erjin will have to wait for the local order, and take this opportunity to transport the anchor mines to the small island at the entrance of the Bohai Bay.

Send half of the barges to Shanghai Road, plus two dragons that turn over the river, and after Lao Tzu's Qinwang army is dispatched, clean up the Taiping army around the canal, and our materials can't be robbed by the Taiping army.

Wei Huozi asked him to hurry up and explore the way, and when the new army arrived in the Zhili area, he had to prepare for battle. ”

Nowadays, Yang Meng's every qiē is to prepare for King Qin, whether it is external business or internal war, Yang Meng needs a few months of stability, and after this time, other things will fall into Yang Meng's eyes.

"Third master, relax your mind, our planning over the years has not been given in vain. As long as the foreign devils follow our path. Domestic affairs. It's just a gesture! ”

In Xu Ziwei's opinion, the third master of his own family is a little too concerned about the affairs of King Qin, to be honest, with the new army, the Yang family has the final say in this country.

"The general trend! This matter must be carried out perfectly, we must occupy the name of righteousness, now the northwest, northeast and Mongolia are not in our grasp, we must beware of tsarist Russia to engage in separatism!

Enter the king of Jingqin. We want to let the courtiers of the world, whether they are Manchurian and Han Dynasty, approve of us, and regard us as the pillars of the country, as for the emperor, it doesn't matter.

With this righteous name, we can calmly master the Northwest, Northeast and Mongolia in the future! ”

The so-called general trend and the so-called Shun Tian Ying Ren are just the past in righteousness, and the strong usurpation will inevitably lead to a civil war. This trend is nothing more than taking care of the feelings of most people, and boiling frogs with warm water in one fell swoop. In the case of the rise and fall of the nation, the results obtained are by no means the same.

With a little more waiting and a little more strength, many things can be done naturally.

"The third master is thoughtful, I'll go down and make arrangements!"

The fruits of victory are in sight, you need to be cautious and cautious, Xu Ziwei and others can be impatient, but Yang Meng must not be impatient, the British and French coalition forces do not fight near Gyeonggi, and Yang Meng's Qinwang army must not enter the Beijing division first.

Many things have reached a certain point, it is involuntary to be unexpected, Ergin and Gro, now have such feelings, Milican and Oros have broken away from the Four-Power Alliance, which was unthinkable by the two before, although now Milicone's warships are still in the sequence of the coalition forces, but the United States and Russia have already communicated with Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, to declare the neutrality of the two countries.

This has a great relationship with the battle of Dagu, Yang Butang said before that it will not be surrendered, it really happened in the war, for the British and French forces that played the white flag, the response of the Dagu fort was an artillery bombardment of up to half an hour, and the result was that the warships of the British and French coalition forces were completely annihilated, and the soldiers were basically wiped out, what will the situation develop in the future, to be honest, it has exceeded the scope of the two British and French plenipotentiary ministers.

Cognitively speaking, Erjin and Ge Luo feel that the Qing State is still a foreign powerhouse and a middle cadre, but emotionally speaking, it is definitely not a rational act to slaughter the last country that surrendered the army, once defeated, it means that a large number of soldiers will be slaughtered, and this kind of hatred will continue, and it is likely to be the same as what Yang Butang said, so that the war will last for dozens or hundreds of years.

There was such a lesson between Britain and France, but the war between the two countries has not yet reached the stage of mass massacres and surrender of the army, once the massacre begins, it is part of the military and civilians, once such a war begins, as Yang Butang said, hatred cannot be resolved, and if both sides of the war are unable to fight again, this war cannot be stopped.

The outcome of the war was easy to predict, but the attitude of the two governments made Ergin and Gro a little helpless, and the Dagukou massacre caused an uproar in Europe, especially in Britain and France, with some people opposing the continuation of the war and others clamoring for revenge.

The call for revenge is higher than the call for opposition, which is a good thing for the British and French governments, and such a call just covers up the public opinion that Britain and France took the initiative to start a war before.

In the eyes of many Europeans, the East or the Americas should be a European colony, a country with strong martial arts, and a country to be proud of.

The initiators of the war were irrational in the early days, and the few rational voices in Britain and France were gradually suppressed by the clamor of retaliation, and the expansion of the scale of the war was inevitable, but now Britain and France are extremely contradictory, they are preparing to attack the Qing Jingshi on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are assuring the merchants that they will protect the five major commercial ports of the Qing Dynasty.

The order to expand the scale of the war was soon communicated to the British and French governments, and it soon reached Hong Kong Island, where a fleet of 32,000 British soldiers, 3,000 French soldiers, 70 British warships, 15 French warships, more than 100 merchant ships transporting troops, dozens of small boats of various colors, and a fleet of 35,500 men and more than 200 ships took shape on Hong Kong Island.

After the Anglo-French army was formed, the first battle was selected in Dinghai, and the Dinghai Fort was located in the Zhoushan Islands, which was undoubtedly a good place for the Anglo-French army to attack Haidao.

But for Yang Meng, this is also a good bait, although the location of Dinghai is good. However, the surrounding water conditions are complex and full of reefs. Just lay mines in the perimeter of the main waterways. This Dinghai is a natural warship cage.

Yang Meng asked Ma Qinghu's men to take the initiative to withdraw from the Dinghai Fort, and after leaving thousands of new troops on the island, the British and French forces naturally easily occupied the Zhoushan Islands.

Next, Erjin and others also showed a considerable military level, occupying Dalian Bay and Yantai, and their ideas were similar to Yang Meng's, blockading Bohai Bay, so that. This natural harbor is the best military port.

Moreover, Yantai and Dalian can also be used as a land-based pedal for the coalition to attack Dagukou, the bad water conditions at Dagu Pass made the commander-in-chief of the British and French forces rack his brains, but the danger outside the mouth of Dagu is the moat of large warships, and the small gunboats are not enough to deal with the artillery group of Dagu Fort. They had a direct passage to Beitang in their hands, which could go around from Beitang to the back of the Dagu Fort. In this way, there is no need to storm the Dagu Fort.

This is also the result of the Qing Dynasty's weakness for many years, foreigners are superior, and there will naturally be soft bones to knot, how did this Beitang waterway leak out, and the shadow under Yang Meng's command is unknown, it has been a long time, and it is difficult to find this person who leaked the waterway line in a hurry.

Thirty British and French warships and more than 8,000 marines, under the leadership of Lao Maozi, landed in Beitang without encountering any resistance.

This matter is also a monk fool's carelessness, since the victory of Dagukou, the prestige of the monk fool is growing, in order to make new contributions in Dagu, this stupid calf, actually defended the people and horses of Beitang, to be transferred to Dagukou.

A small loophole in Beitang decided the outcome of the offensive and defensive battle, and by the loophole in Beitang, the British and French forces began to land in Beitang on a large scale, and after the army of 20,000 people was assembled, Dagukou and even Jinkou were in danger.

It took more than a day to explore the road, station, and rest the British and French forces, and Yang Meng telegraphed to Guò to get the news that the British and French troops had landed in Beitang, and it was also a day later, but after hearing the news, Yang Meng couldn't laugh.

"Bastard! Can you send a message to Jinkou now? If it's time, let them withdraw the artillery from Dagukou to Jinkou!

Once the defense of Jinkou is strong, the Anglo-French alliance will inevitably choose to directly insert the Beijing division, the supply of the British and French alliance is limited, and the direct penetration of the Beijing division is the most effective for them, attacking Jinkou, it is easy to be dragged to death!

Let Wei Huozi's men and horses, day and night, rush to the vicinity of Gyeonggi and Jinkou as much as possible! ”

The battle situation is unpredictable, in Yang Meng's expectations, how can Seng Lingqin's men and horses carry ten days and a half months before the British and French troops can land, these are good, directly open the door to welcome guests, the situation is a little passive for Yang Meng.

After the landing, 10,000 horses of the British and French coalition forces attacked the area of Xinhe and Junliangcheng, and the 2,000 cavalry left behind by Seng Lingqin were all annihilated, one day later, Xinhe and Junliangcheng fell, the next day Tanggu, Dagu north bank forts fell, and on the third day, half of the artillery withdrew to the Dagu Fort in Jinkou and fell.

With the grain, grass, and ordnance of the Qing army, without the threat of the Dagu Fort, and a large piece of land, the Anglo-French army will have a foothold, and rest and adaptation are what the Anglo-French allied army should do.

Like Yang Meng's speculation, Erjin and others have little interest in Jinkou, they are going to attack the Qing State's Jingshi, in addition to demonstrations and revenge, wealth is what they are most concerned about, the long-term colonial war, let the British and French invaders know that the capital division of an empire is often a place where wealth gathers, Jinkou, in the minds of Erjin and others, is just a fortress city, rather than increasing casualties in Jinkou, it is better to directly capture the emperor of the Qing State, so that it is the most beneficial to the British and French forces.

Xinhe, Junliangcheng, Tanggu, and Dagukou were lost one after another, which also opened the prelude to the retreat of the official army and the local people.

Monk Greenqin, as early as when the British army landed and annihilated his cavalry, he left the defense of Jinkou to Tan Tingxiang and ran away, and Tan Tingxiang was not a fool, with the indirect reminder of the shadow, he withdrew half of the artillery and military resources in Dagukou and retreated into Jinkou City, so it was a disguised defense of Jinkou.

War means evil, even if there are shadow activities, even if the people of the religion and religion are in front of the British and French forces, but many people in the Jinkou area still suffered military disasters, and the British and French troops are fighting under the slogan of revenge, and it is normal to slaughter the people in the war.

For these, although Yang Meng had already arranged that when the British and French troops landed, he would organize the surrounding people to flee and cover the new army of King Qin, but Beitang had no defense, which Yang Meng could not predict, after all, he could not interfere in the defense of the Beijing Division.

Although he had warned the imperial court several times before, the monk Greenqin had advanced and retreated inappropriately, ruining Yang Meng's good plan, and the people who were killed by the military disaster, although it was an accident, Yang Meng also bore the blame! Had it not been for him to induce the Anglo-French forces to attack Jinkou, such a catastrophe would not have happened.

If Monk Lingqin could resist properly and give Shadow and Lijiao some time, maybe the result would be much better, but at this point, all Yang Meng could do was take the same revenge, not letting a coalition soldier escape, it would be Yang Meng's insignificant atonement.

"On the fold, enter the king of Beijing!"

No matter how gritted his teeth and angered, it was useless, looking gloomily at the north, the fate of some people was also decided by Yang Meng in Shanghai. (To be continued......)
