The Eagle and French coalition army captured Tongzhou, only 170 kilometers away from Kyoto, the Qing army had no danger to defend, and a large number of Qing and French troops gathered on the periphery of Kyoto heard that the most warlike monk prince of the empire was defeated and returned, and people were panicked for a while, and they all wanted to die.

Prince Yixin, the left-behind minister, stood up: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you will flee to the desert and Rus." ”

"Lord Wang, the emperor has been running away for a month, and we still have a hair!" The Admiral of Zhili underwrites and speaks coolly.

"The emperor has run away, and the king is here. If you talk like this, you will shake the morale of the army and will be beheaded. Yixin said this, and he had no confidence at all. In fact, he also had the same fear in his heart as these generals, but as a minister who stayed in Kyoto, he had to pretend to be very calm no matter what.

"Lord Wang, as far as I know, those troops are almost running out of ammunition and dare not advance, why did we take advantage of this gap to surround them, concentrate artillery bombardment on their station, and come to a battle to defend Kyoto?" Gong Changyu didn't know where he came out, and came into the barracks while talking.

The devil Liuyi Xin followed the sound and saw that the person who came was wearing a red robe and carrying a very new-style ****, which was very unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but be stunned: Who are you, dare to break into the Kyoto command post of my Qinghe Army?

"Presumably you're the devil six, right?" Gong Changyu avoided answering but did not answer.

"Hey, boy, this is the minister, not the devil six." The monk hurriedly said to Gong Changyu, who was open-mouthed.

"Monk King, is this unruly guy your subordinate?" Yixin asked.

"It's not." Seng Ge shook his head, "He is Gong Jichang, a subordinate of Zeng Fan of Jingbei Daying, a native of Jingnan County, who has never read a book, a four-grade capital division, and a martial artist, so he calls you by your name." ”

"No, how did Gong Jichang know the nickname of this king." Yixin frowned.

"As the old saying goes, there must be my teacher in a threesome. There is nothing wrong with learning from the Ouxi people, where others are stronger than us, dare to face the reality, we must not be ashamed to ask, and master the skills of Yi to control the ......" Gong Changyu said, these words were taught by the eldest princess Feng Jiao'er, and today he wants to teach these court members a lesson, "Devil Six, you are the first minister of the imperial court to advocate the establishment of foreign affairs, no one in the people knows, no one knows." ”

"You're my brother—" Yi Xin strode forward and grabbed Gong Changyu's hand with both hands, excited.

"Devil Six, General Ben will only go straight, how to learn from the Ouxi people is something you scholars think, I just want to go back to the battlefield and fight the Fan army. We don't understand foreign affairs, we can only wave the flag for you......" Gong Changyu smiled.

"Monk King, Baobao, Ruilin, Shengbao, have you heard it, everyone knows the importance of learning to be a strong country, why don't you understand?" Yixin looked serious.

These generals are all born in royal and aristocratic families, holding the rich fortune of the imperial court, and when the enemy is present, there is a pair of skins, especially in the battle of Bali Bridge, the Tatar cavalry once rushed to the enemy's 50 meters away, and even the headquarters, actually lingered, did not dare to bend the bow and arrows, and relied on the arquebus just equipped with the hostile shooting, the hit rate was almost zero, and the world laughed. Duel with the enemy's horse team, dare not swing the sword, let the enemy's bayonet kill...... The military quality of the regular army is so low, if they don't learn field skills, strengthen their physical fitness, and update their equipment, they will wait for the country to die.

"What the prince said is extremely true, the monarchy system of thousands of years has become outdated, and the army has to be restructured." Prince Sangge, who was dazed by the artillery fire of the army, was the first to answer.

"For the benefit of the people, there is no need for Fagu; You don't have to be vulgar. Change and innovation are the fundamental driving force for the development of human society. Whoever rejects change and rejects innovation will lag behind the times and be eliminated by history! Yi Xin sighed.

"Now that the army has arrived at the gate of Kyoto, it is not impossible to win the battle, and there is nothing wrong with having a large number of people and a large strength, but after the fiasco of Zhangjiawan and Bali Bridge, do these Qinghe troops still have the courage to pick up guns and artillery to fight the enemy?" Yi Xin said to the monk.

"Prince Gong, I'm not sure of this, but I can guarantee that my people will fight to the end and live and die with Kyoto." The monk's cheeks twitched.

"What about you?" The devil Liu Yixin looked sharply at the underwriter, Shengbao and other generals.

"Lord, I've been shot in the leg......" Shengbao said on crutches, "If there is really no one to lead the soldiers, I will let the soldiers carry me to the battlefield......

"The country is in turmoil, isn't there anyone in my Qinghe Empire who can resist foreign insults and drive away the army?" Yi Xin spread his hands and asked. At this time, what he was most worried about was that the army's morale was shaken, and the army was not angry, so he had to negotiate with Ouxi. Emperor Xiantong threw such a mess to him and gave it to a plenipotentiary in charge of peace talks, and as soon as the peace treaty was signed, he would be infamous as a traitor, and it was unknown whether the army would withdraw.

"It's not that there are no people in the Qinghe Empire, but people who can fight are unwilling to bring troops to King Qin...... "The Admiral Bao seems to have a point, "This person is a few commanders of the Jingnan Army, who support the army and respect themselves, and they are pushing Taiji with the emperor." ”

"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the Jingnan army will not come. Ladies and gentlemen, when the army enters Kyoto, it will burn and loot, and only by destroying them can the last dignity of the empire be preserved. Gong Changyu generously stated, "If everyone can trust me, I am willing to lead 10,000 men equipped with musket teams and artillery teams to kill and retreat." ”

"Boy, the monk and the king are helpless against the army, just a small regiment of you, dare to argue with the Eagle Law Alliance?" Ruilin leaned forward slightly, with a look of disdain.

"My lord, although I, Gong Jichang, am not a soldier, I know that it is feasible to avoid the real and attack the weak, concentrate superior forces, and destroy the enemy's living forces. We can set up minefields where the enemy passes. In addition to a single launch mine, there are also group mines that use a fuse to control the explosion, and a mother mine that detonates several sub-mines. According to the needs of the operation, the ** can also be set up on the car, in the building, ......" Gong Changyu suddenly thought of the thunderbolt of the "steel wheel fire", "Thunderbolt, that is, ***, is there anything in the army?" ”

"No...... Gong Jichang, your idea is very good, but our military workshop has no craftsmen who can make thunderbolts......" Yixin said, "So you are talking about thunder on paper." ”

"I fainted to death, the firearms technology of the Jingming Dynasty was swept into the garbage heap of history by your Fei Luo family, hey, when I was in Lenghu Mountain Tuntian, it was Thunderbolt who killed a thousand blue wolf coalition troops. Since no one knows how to make such a sharp weapon, there is no need for me to stay in Kyoto. After Gong Changyu finished speaking, he walked out of the command post.

Devil Six chased after him: "General Gong, please stay." It's not that this king doesn't want to give you soldiers and horses, but he can't convince those self-proclaimed generals that the military power is not in my hands, and I am just a backstabber......"

"Prince Gong, the last general is not talented, in the last two battles, I have not been able to persuade Prince Seng to adopt the latest tactics, and I, a military observer, have lost my name." Gong Changyu clasped his fists and saluted, and said in a low voice, "Prince Seng Ge is frightened by the army, as long as the battle for the defense of Kyoto starts, they will only symbolically resist, and then they will flee." Prince Gong, the emperor used people improperly, Kyoto could not be defended, once Kyoto was lost, countless treasures in the palace, the Old Summer Palace and other places would fall into the hands of the army...... Okay, let's not talk about it, it's time for the last general to go, farewell! ”

Watching Gong Changyu walk away, the devil Liu Yixin couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: This person talks about things with firearms at every turn, could it be that he crossed over from the Jingming Dynasty? That's right, the imperial army guarding Kyoto is mainly cold weapons, and the fan army is mainly ***, which can hit our army from a long distance, it seems that Gong Jichang is a soldier in actual combat, I am ashamed!

……

Sure enough, Yixin and others negotiated peace with the representatives of the Tongzhou army who went to Kyoto, and the army demanded that the army and embassy be stationed in Kyoto, and the compensation was exorbitant, so the negotiations between the two sides broke down. At the insistence of Prince Seng Ge and others, the Qing army detained 39 members of the Fanjun negotiation team and threw them into the prison of the Criminal Department.

The commander of the army, Varisi, was furious, and then led his army into the suburbs of Kyoto, broke into the private garden of the Xiantong Emperor, and after looting it, the bandits also showed the military might of the Li Empire in order to "gentlemanly", and avenged the negotiating minister, and burned there.

The fire lasted for two days and two nights, and the sky over Kyoto was filled with smoke and dust. As for the robbers who did not burn the Forbidden City, they also had concerns, they were afraid that the Qing and Empire would tear their faces and sink the boat, so they insisted on fighting, after all, the ultimate purpose of entering Kyoto was to negotiate a treaty and force the Xiantong Emperor to agree to their demand for compensation and land and trade.

When the news of the fall of Kyoto reached the Dune Palace, Emperor Xiantong was completely desperate, and the 200,000 imperial troops who had spent so much money were defeated by more than 20,000 troops, which was a great shame! In addition to lamenting, the Xiantong Emperor had to ratify the peace treaty and agree to all the demands of the invaders.

After the Eagle and French alliance and the retreat, Emperor Xiantong once had plans to return to Beijing, but soon dispelled this idea, the most important thing is that the matter of "personally handing over the letter of state" has not yet been settled, so he instructed Prince Yixin to handle it as soon as possible.

After that, Emperor Xiantong changed the will of Huiluan several times. The main reason is that in addition to the factors of the Occilians, Emperor Xiantong gradually fell in love with the life of the Dune Palace, a drama every three days, the thunder could not move, and this hot-blooded young man who once wanted to drive the ship of the Qinghe Empire to the depths of the sea completely degenerated.

Gong Changyu returned to the periphery of the Dune Palace, and when he learned that the imperial court was going to pay 20 million taels to the army, his lungs exploded, and he took the army and broke into the gate of the palace angrily.

Auxiliary Minister Su Shun was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly took the Praetorian Guards out of the "Lingbo Zhishuang" hall to appease the soldiers of the Jingyi Battalion: "Everyone, don't be impatient, the matter of compensation is still being discussed with the army......
