Your Excellency, Dear Ambassador, are we just going to wait? In the British Embassy in Beijing, Hurd looked at Dou Maile with excitement on his face, his face flushed, and he couldn't even hook up the favorite wine in the glass in front of him. (Vertex Hand Hit)

As an Englishman, he has controlled the customs power of this country for so many years, he knows very well how rich it is, many people regard South Africa and India as the crown jewel of the British Empire, but only he knows better, compared to rich, this country is dozens of times that of the two!

Nowadays, just two opium mining products can bring back millions of British profits for Britain every year, but now, such huge profits have been challenged from the north, once Li Mo controls Beijing and even the whole of China, then because of his support for Japan and the British relations are already very poor, he will definitely kick Britain out of the Far East!

This is unforgivable!

Dou Maile stood at the window, listening to the hurried footsteps outside, the roaring and the faint sound of gunshots, he was not as excited as Hurd, "In his opinion, this British compatriot seems to have mixed too many personal feelings into this battle array, although he also very much appreciates the other party's efforts to protect British interests in this land, but the empire on which the sun never sets is a global country, and there are many things to consider, let alone get involved in a war that can no longer change the outcome at this time."

It was already impossible to restrain Li Mo. From the moment Japan surrendered, he knew that it was not Britain that would have done its best, or else would not have been able to prevent the rise of a new regime, and the United States, which could have been used as a helper, had to retreat back into the Atlantic because of its involvement in Cuba, and they had so far put more than 100,000 soldiers there, but they were still in a state of anxiety!

It seems that the Cuban War, which has nothing to do with the Far East, is actually reminding Britain all the time that it will take the initiative to intervene in the Far East, a whirlpool that is far dozens of times greater than Cuba's, and that it will be a protracted gamble that may not necessarily lead to good results in waging war with a man like Li Mo, who has a powerful fleet and an army of more than 100,000 troops, and a large amount of financial revenue, which is still a mystery to this day!

From the royal family to the common people in China, Li Mo has long been regarded as an upstart, a madman, a madman, and a spoiler and hate him so much, because he took advantage of the benevolence of the British Empire and the unique relationship between Chile and the United Kingdom, and he calculated that Britain stood on the shoulders of Britain from the beginning!

He was a cunning and ferocious hungry wolf, who took advantage of the complexity of international relations and swam between countries, he attacked Japan, and then attacked Russia, buried Spain, completely outran Japan, and put the ambitious Germany into the Far East to balance Britain, and not long ago blocked the French from the gate to the north!

While muddying the waters and using countries to contain him, he is constantly showing his teeth and claws!

His presumptuous greed is excessive, and his ambition is even more known, so Foreign Secretary Kimberley will not reach the treaty with the Yangtze River at the last moment before returning home, because Britain has already known very well that it has long missed the best opportunity to contain him, and can only consume little by little, trying to delay the unification of the country and the rise of the country.

Douglas turned to pick up a cigar from the table and glanced at Hurd, who was restless.

"Dear Lord Hurd, we must subordinate ourselves to the national interest, and although His Excellency Prime Minister Salisbury has made efforts to change our policy of non-interference in the mainland, please remember that it is impossible for us to intervene in this war at this time!"

"In addition, I feel that you should be prepared to leave the North, and we will rank you in the same position in the South but here! Yan Maile lit his cigar and shook his head, "I'm very sorry. ”

Hurd also knew the domestic policy, but when he heard these words, he was still a little disappointed and defended: "Your Excellency, although we have not reached an agreement on the Yangtze River scraping the boundary without Li Mo, how long do you think this can last?" What's more, I think that even if we can't change anything, as civilized people, we should try to ensure the safety of the Qing royal family, send them to the south, and continue to govern there, so as to ensure our interests. Dudu Dou Maile sighed in his heart, he knew that Hurd must have selfish intentions, maybe the Chinese emperor who was about to step down gave him some promises, so he put forward the statement of ensuring the safety of the royal family, but now that Li Mo's army has hit the city, is it too late to say this at this time? What's more, the Qing army actually lost the Desheng Gate!

If before, he could still find a way to send troops to protect and arrange for the Chinese emperor's family to leave quietly, "Closer, closer." Liu Dayin muttered at the corner of his mouth, and when the cavalry approached, he shouted violently: "Fire!" ”

Hundreds of guns, aimed at the charging Qing cavalry at the same time, rows of bullets kept knocking down these cavalrymen, and at the same time, the bullets were quickly consumed.

Although the avenue in Desheng Gate is wide, it is far wider than that in the field, and the use of cavalry in such a narrow space is no different from asking for a dead end, but this also shows that the Qing army is really in a hurry!

"Company commander, right, right touched!" Even the instructor rushed to Liu Dayin with a steel helmet in his hand, pointed to a group of Qing troops running along the city wall on the right, and shouted.

Liu Dayin looked up, and was also startled by the dense human heads, only to see that the Qing army had also learned to be obedient, and hid in the shooting corner along the root of the wall, "If you don't lean out, it will be really difficult to hit them" But in this way, it will be exposed to the frontal Qing army, and the casualties will definitely be very large.

Well, yes.

Liu Dayin wiped a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and patted the instructor on the shoulder: "I'll hand you over here, I'll let these little chicks know what it means to be like rain!" After saying that, he immediately called out a dozen soldiers with his gun on his back, and removed a few grenades from others, and quickly ran along the battlements of the Qing army.

When they arrived at their destination, they immediately beckoned everyone to gather, and after pulling out their grenades, they shouted, "I'll count to three." ”

The soldiers immediately understood what Liu Dayin was going to do, and all of them pulled out the grenade and pulled the lead, "Seeing that everyone was ready, Liu Dayin immediately pulled the lead and counted loudly to three, and then he threw the grenade down the city wall with everyone."

Boom, boom.

Because they were left in their hands for a period of time, the grenades exploded before they landed, and some even fell to the front door before exploding, and suddenly the shrapnel was volleyed in the air, sweeping and bursting, blowing up the Qing army, which thought that it would be okay to hide at the foot of the wall, and the ghost cried wolf.

One grenade after another, constantly falling from the city wall, comparable to the power of cannonballs, made the Qing army scatter and run, and no longer care about sneaking up on the city gate.

After solving the crisis, Liu Dayin took everyone back to the top of the main gate, at this time he felt like a teaching team, on the left, on the right plus the main road in the middle, as well as the Qing army along the city wall, suddenly crowded the small Desheng Gate.

At this critical moment, a fierce horse neighing suddenly sounded in the distance behind him, Liu Dayin immediately turned his head to look, and immediately jumped up excitedly!

"Cavalry, it's our cavalry!"

"Kill!"

In a moment, the forward battalion of the cavalry division that went south from Shanhaiguan first, after a night of wild running, finally arrived outside the Desheng Gate.

The soldiers guarding below hurriedly moved away from the blockade, and one by one the horses suddenly plunged into the already chaotic Qing army like hot iron hammers, and in just a moment, the rout became bigger and bigger like a snowball.

Just when the hooves of the cavalry rushing through the Desheng Gate had not yet dissipated, the first batch of 3,000 soldiers of the 2nd Division who came from Tianjin to come to the aid by land finally arrived at their destination after circling around Beijing for most of the circle.

"Hello Commander!"

As soon as Liu Dayin came down from the city tower, he saw that Ouyang Xiu, who was personally leading the team to support, had already come to him with a horsewhip, and hurriedly saluted excitedly.

"Well done! It is worthy of our second division! I will write a detailed battle report: "I will give you credit." After Ouyang Xiu saw Liu Dayin, he laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and a few other divisions and several door-blocking teams who came to support last night hurriedly turned their heads away.

"Yes," thank you, Teacher. ”

While the two were talking and laughing, the troops also began to pour inward, announcing that the ancient capital of the two dynasties had been officially broken and ushered in a new era.

"Teach ......, report."

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Li Mo's rebels have already attacked Deshengmen, and there are thousands of people!" Before Xu Yongyi finished shouting, another lieutenant rushed next to him and shouted: "Your Majesty, traces of rebels have been found outside Dongzhimen, Chaoyangmen, Yongdingmen, and Guang'anmen. ”

"Your Majesty, the British did not agree to mediate, and they also refused the request of the martyrdom!"

"The Emperor's ,......。"

One by one, one by one, the shouts made Guangxu's body sitting on the dragon chair shake a few times, and an abnormal flush rose on his face.

On the pillar next to it, "The dragon dances and the claws are in the air, but at the moment it looks so eyesore!" Emperor Guangxu staggered to his feet, pushed away the little eunuch who was about to be supported, and came into the midst of the ministers, and suddenly laughed.

"Do you think of me as the emperor at this time? Back then, the United One Force was the main battle, but you dragged your feet one by one and did not slack off, so that Li Mo had the opportunity to take root in the three provinces! Guangxu turned his finger and pointed to Cixi next to him: "In that case, why don't you ask this Lafayette at this moment!" ”

"Bastard!"

Cixi scolded angrily, and was about to speak, but Guangxu waved his hand to himself, and he didn't even listen to a word, and he didn't look back: "That's it." Let's all disperse, from now on, the fate of our monarchs and ministers will be over, everyone will run for their lives. ”

After speaking, he walked towards the dormitory with heavy steps.

Outside the palace, there were bursts of shouts and killings, which made the air in the hall completely stagnate, everyone sat on the ground, and Cixi's face was even more gray, and her eyes were constantly revealing death.

On the thoroughfare of Beijing City Avenue, the sound of dense and neat footsteps shook everyone's hearts in terror, and the common people shrank their heads and looked through the cracked windows at the strangely dressed team that was running along the avenue towards the Forbidden City.

Shen Hao rode on horseback and rushed to the front, looking at the Forbidden City shining under the golden sun not far away, his eyes were burning.

Forbidden City!

The place where the emperor lived, he had never thought of being so close before, but at this moment, in front of him, trembling under the iron hooves of the war horse he was sitting on!

"Garrison!"

Shen Hao was about to add two whips, when suddenly a loud shout made him suddenly pull the reins of the horse, and the comrades around him also stopped their horses one by one, and turned their heads to look at the battalion commander whose face suddenly became very serious.

Everyone was surprised, seeing that the Forbidden City was in sight, as long as they took a few hundred steps, the greatest credit could be obtained, why did they stop at this time?

"General Staff, young master urgently!" The battalion commander came to everyone with a serious face.

"All soldiers who enter the inner city must ensure the safety of the imperial city, and those who set fire to rob wealth will be killed!"

"The young master also ordered, everyone can see anywhere, they can go, but no mention is allowed to move a stitch or a thread, violators..."

"Again, shoot and kill!"
