449 Dagukou (2/2) (Page 1/1)

Tianjin Port, Dagukou Fort.

This is the position of the Qing army stationed in the port, which has long been in ruins under the fire of Western warships. The people living in Tianjin, worried about the war, have almost all fled to the capital, Hebei and other places.

Surrounded by everyone, Emperor Xianfeng ascended the fort. Looking at the rubble on the ground and the broken forts, I could faintly ask a smell of blood that had not dissipated.

"This is what you foreigners call friendship and peace?"

Emperor Xianfeng's dragon robe fluttered, and he leaned on the broken wall of the fort with one hand, and said coldly.

Sir Srixia's face remained unchanged, and a faint smile hung on it. Emperor Xianfeng's anger, in his opinion, was simply a manifestation of external strength and middle cadre, and did not pose a threat at all.

The angrier he is, the weaker he is.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the peace of the empire requires the joint efforts of the two countries."

Shi Lixia said proudly.

Emperor Xianfeng swept over the officials behind him, and everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, pretending to be deaf and dumb. At this time, as long as they are not fools, they can feel the anger in the emperor's eyes, and whoever dares to say a word may be blamed for the defeat of Tianjin.

In the end, Emperor Xianfeng had to sigh slightly: "The soldiers who died in the battle are all loyal martyrs." ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, don't you want to see the power of the Imperial Warships?"

Shi Lixia was prepared.

He had already contacted the Imperial captain on the warship, and as soon as the signal was given, he would fire at the mouth of Dagu.

Of course, they don't shell the battery. After all, a ruined fort is no threat to them. They will only hit the ammunition at the foot of the mountain at the mouth of Dagu.

One let the Qing Emperor see the power of imperial artillery. The second is to issue a warning to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. As for killing Emperor Xianfeng? There is simply no need for this.

Because the current empire simply cannot occupy the entire Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop. It is better to take the knife slowly, and little by little erode this decaying dynasty, and eventually become a colony of the empire.

If the emperor of the decaying dynasty is killed now, it will not be beautiful to cause unrest. What's more, if the emperors are killed, who will pay them for their silver?

"Okay, let's show me the Western artillery."

Emperor Xianfeng's hands pinched the broken wall, and a layer of ash had been dragged off in his palms.

Because from his point of view, he could already see three behemoths docked on the sea.

All made of steel, with a cold exterior and a hideous look. And the gun ports on the warship are even more chilling.

However, Zhou Xingzu, who was standing half a step beside the emperor, had a completely different view.

"One main ship, two cargo?"

The terrible behemoth in the eyes of everyone is really not worth it for him, and it can be called an old antique in a museum. And he could see at a glance that there was a fleet of three warships. Only that main ship, a real warship.

As for the other two, they are the design of freighters, but they are equipped with guns and can barely act as frigates.

And the black smoke coming out of the ship, in the eyes of others, is a symbol of strength stupidity. In his opinion, it is a sign of backwardness.

"I'm afraid these warships are still coal-burning."

Zhou Xingzu smiled, feeling a little more sure in his heart.

It's just that he is also curious about how powerful the cannonballs fired from this warship can be.

Seeing his smile, Shi Lixia felt extremely uncomfortable, and turned his head and shouted, "Order, let Mr. Captain fire!" ”

"I want to see if you can still laugh in front of the artillery?"

A foreign sailor standing behind Shi Lixia took out the leading flag and waved it a few times according to the flag. The warships on the surface of the sea immediately responded.

After a long whistle sounded, the main gun emcourse in front of the main ship slowly turned the gun muzzle, and aimed the pitch-black gun port at the Dagukou battery.

"Protect the Emperor!"

"Heartbroken, this group of foreigners is simply heartbroken."

"Hurry up and protect His Majesty the Emperor from here."

casual officials, as well as the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion. After seeing the direction in which the muzzle of the cannon was pointed, he suddenly became a mess, and hurriedly wanted to call the emperor away. But Emperor Xianfeng was surprisingly calm in this person, did not move for half a step, and shouted: "Be quiet, what kind of system will you become." ”

"Just look at his Western artillery, whether he kills or not."

Emperor Xianfeng's imminent danger was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Zhou Xingzu glanced at him and said secretly: "It is worthy of a generation of true dragons, and there is still the bearing that it should have." ”

"It's just that there's a kind of don't shake your hands, haha."

Zhou Xingzu chuckled in his heart, he didn't know that Emperor Xianfeng's courage in the face of danger came from his trust in his force. If Zhou Xingzu was not by his side, Emperor Xianfeng would have fled with everyone at this time.

At this moment, the guns on the warship have already been loaded.

Rumble!

On the surface of the sea, there was a loud explosion.

The guns of the warship emitted thick black smoke, and even the warship itself, under this cannon, shook backwards.

The hundreds of officials at the mouth of Dagu watched the huge artillery, spanning several miles, and shooting at them from the sea. They couldn't help but open their mouths wide and close their eyes.

Without it, just wait for death.

Rumble!

There was another loud bang, and the officials only felt that there was an earthquake and the mountains were shaking, and many civil officials who were unstable had fallen to the ground.

"Is this the power of artillery?"

"The power of one cannon can destroy the mountains and the land, which is no longer something that human beings can resist."

"Martial arts, what's the use of me practicing this martial arts!"

Everyone who was there opened their eyes again.

I only saw that at the foot of the Dagukou Fort, a large crater had been bombed out of a radius of several miles.

This big hole undoubtedly destroyed all the officials, and finally hoped. They deeply understood that with the national strength of the Qing Dynasty, they could not resist this terrible artillery at all.

Even among the newly promoted group of Jinshi, there are many people who can't bear this feeling of weakness. The heart of the Dao is broken, and martial arts cannot be stored for life.

Shi Lixia took these situations into her eyes and secretly laughed in her heart.

He believed that the time had come for the signing of the "Treaty of Tianjin."

But I didn't expect that the next moment......

Zhou Xingzu took off a strong bow from the horse, bent down to open the bow, took a lunge under his feet, and took a long breath: "Huhu ......"

On the entire Dagukou Fort, there seems to be a strong wind.

"This person, what does this person want to do!"

"He wants to use a primitive weapon like a bow and arrow to attack like a warship?"

Shi Lixia opened her mouth wide and watched this extremely ridiculous scene. But it's a pity that the momentum of the scene made him unable to laugh at all.

"Draw the bow!"

Zhou Xingzu's eyes condensed into a line, and with a roar, he pulled the strong bow into a full moon.

He stepped on the waste cannon at the mouth of Dagu, like a human-shaped fort.
