Wu Changshuo looks like a middle-aged man, but in fact, he is only thirty years old this year, and he just looks old.

Hearing Fang Hao say this, he was surprised, thinking that his prayer had come true?

Is there really a god to help him save the Old Summer Palace?

Immediately he was excited.

The ancients were not as skeptical as modern people, they still believed in gods and Buddhas.

But Wu Changshuo was suddenly stunned.

When he asked for Buddha, he did what we Chinese people like to do the most, that is, the gods and Buddhas all begged, the Buddha and the Jade Emperor must have asked for them, and then the city god and the king of Hades also begged, and even Jesus Satan begged, I heard that the red-haired ghosts believed it more.

So here's the problem.

Fang Hao in front of him, which way was sent by the immortals?

Thinking of this, Wu Changshuo no longer hesitated, and knelt on his knees: "Shangxian, you are here!" In Xia Wu Changshuo, I have seen Shangxian! ”

Anyway, after worshipping first, many people are not to blame, and the gods are not to blame.

Fang Hao said: "You get up! ”

Wu Changshuo didn't get up, but asked anxiously: "I don't know which immortal monarch is under the throne?" ”

This is the way to find out.

Fang Hao smiled: "I don't have any immortal monarch, I just heard your request and came over by myself!" ”

When Wu Changshuo heard this, he thought to himself, what a cow this is! At least it has to be at the same level as the Jade Emperor, right? So he said cautiously: "Immortal Monarch ......"

Fang Hao said: "You just call me Fang Hao!" ”

Wu Changshuo said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished! Of course, knowing that you don't want to reveal your identity, how about I call you Fang-sama? ”

"Whatever you want!" Fang Hao nodded, "You stand up first and tell me about the current situation!" ”

Wu Changshuo said: "Why don't we go out and talk while eating?" Shangxian must have never eaten the food of our old Beijing, let me invite Shangxian to taste it? Let's talk while eating? ”

Fang Hao said: "I'm not too hungry now, so let's hear that the teahouse culture in old Beijing is quite interesting, let's find a teahouse and have some snacks to chat, okay?" ”

Wu Changshuo gave Fang Hao a thumbs up: "Master Fang, I have a family at the mouth of this alley, Yushunxuan, let's drink some tea, get some boiled fire, it's also comfortable!" Master Fang, come with me! ”

Although the British and French troops had already entered the city, excluding the soldiers stationed in the camp, there were only 500 people who could go out to move, and they were busy robbing the Old Summer Palace and other magnificent places, and they didn't care about the common people at all.

Therefore, on the way, the two did not see anyone from the British and French forces.

Smoothly arrived at Yushunxuan.

When the shopkeeper saw Wu Changshuo, he immediately welcomed: "Oh, Master Wu, I haven't seen you for a few days!" Are you alright? ”

Wu Changshuo nodded: "It's okay, there is a distinguished guest here today, you take us to the private room upstairs, and the best tea is ready!" All kinds of sweets are also available! ”

Fang Hao looked at the teahouse and thought that it was rare to come to old Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was not fun to go to the private room upstairs, so he said: "It's in the lobby downstairs, it's also interesting to listen to their chat!" ”

Wu Changshuo nodded: "Yes!" ”

The second shop is a human spirit, seeing that Wu Changshuo has so much respect for Fang Hao, he hurriedly shouted and went to prepare.

After a while, the tea was served.

Blue and white porcelain handle pot with mung bean bowl, this is for drinking tea.

Fang Hao tasted it and found that the tea of these dozen copper plates tasted better than the modern tea in the main world, and it was obvious that the price of modern tea was inflated.

In addition to the eight pieces of Manchurian cakes, there are also snacks such as hibiscus cakes, moon cakes, and eight pieces of Beijing.

After that, I ate stewed meat, rotten meat noodles, diced meat steamed buns and the like.

A table was placed with a dazzling array of eyes.

There was a tea drinker next to him who saw it and smiled; "Master Wu, is it so rich today?"

Wu Changshuo said with a smile: "A distinguished guest is coming, I will bring him to meet our old Beijing teahouse!" ”

The tea is very delicious, but Fang Hao doesn't like to eat these things very much.

It's not that the chefs don't make it delicious, but the main thing is that the tastes of ancient people are different from those of modern people.

Ancient people ate food, lack of oil and salt.

Don't worry what you eat, put some lard, it's all a good delicacy.

But in terms of modern taste, putting lard is inevitably a little too tired.

Therefore, Fang Hao tasted a few bites, but did not eat again.

When Wu Changshuo saw this, he thought to himself that he was really a fairy among the gods, and he didn't eat such delicious food, he must have been well-informed in his usual life.

At this time, the sound of people chatting around came from all around.

"Hey, do you think this English and French soldier is so powerful? There are more than 30,000 monks and kings (monk Lingqin), and they can't beat them? The city of Beijing was lost, and the emperor went to Rehe (now Chengde, Hebei) to hunt! ”

"Hehe, run away, run away, and say hunting!" The other couldn't look past it and told the truth.

"Shhh You need to know that the wall has ears! Another voice said, "I just wonder, how can more than 30,000 people not be able to beat 8,000 people?" I heard that two or three thousand died! ”

"I heard that four or five thousand died!"

"The monk is also a person, with arquebuses, red-clothed cannons, and a team of 5,000 Mongolian horses! This is a person who spits and spits, and also kills the red-haired devils in England and France! ”

The discussion around me was about failure and incomprehension.

Fang Hao couldn't hear it, he said: "In the current war, it's useless to rely on people alone, the key is weapons!" ”

Everyone in the capital can talk about it, and some people are not happy immediately.

"Then what you say, no one, what's the use of having a weapon?"

Fang Hao smiled slightly and asked, "Do you know what the British army is equipped with?" What is the French army equipped with? ”

The man couldn't tell.

Fang Hao said: "The British army is equipped with Armstrong guns, and the French army is equipped with Napoleonic guns, both of which are more powerful than the redcoat cannons!" Not to mention that both of their guns are rifled guns! Compared with them, the weapons of the Qing army are completely eggs hitting stones, how can they win? ”

When these words came out, everyone stopped talking.

Because I don't understand!

After a while, someone said stiffly, "What kind of mother are you talking about...... Can it be that powerful? ”

Fang Hao hasn't spoken yet.

A middle-aged man with a dignified face stood up, he had a beard and his eyes were very sharp.

He arched his hand at Fang Hao and asked, "This gentleman, as far as you can see, weapons are a prerequisite for victory in the war?" ”

Fang Hao nodded: "Although people are very important!" But at this stage, weapons are really important! Do you think about the war before the redcoat cannon came out and after it came out, is there any difference? ”

The man fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he arched his hand at Fang Hao: "Mr. Dacai!" Under Li Hongzhang, I have seen Mr.! ”

Fang Hao was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Li Hongzhang, what's wrong?" Li Hongzhang is a little strange, he used to be a staff member under Zeng Guofan, but he just fell out with Zeng Guofan this year, and he wanted to form a Hefei group practice by himself, so he came to the capital first to see if there was any connection.

It stands to reason that he is now unknown.

Why does this person in front of him seem to have heard his name?
