Forty-seven, Yongtong Bridge Battle (2)

Yongtong Bridge to the west I don't know how far away in front of a small hill, there is a lonely small temple, just look at the remnants of the monument in front of the temple, the withered grass on the mountain gate, and the spider web under the eaves of the temple, you know that this is an abandoned small temple, it is estimated that only some living creatures such as fox squirrels will come here, but this time it was surrounded by a group of guards, and it was barely cleaned up, which can be slightly sheltered from the wind and rain, but it startled a lot of pheasants and hares to come out.

A guard hurriedly bypassed the carriage and horse placed in front of the mountain gate, entered the main hall of the small temple, and knelt down on one knee, "Report, the British and French troops have attacked!" ā€

The queen, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon with her back to the gate, shook her body and did not speak, Prince Gong, who was standing behind the queen, waved her hand, asked the guards to step back, crossed her hands, put down in front of her, and did not say much.

The teapot burning with branches in the temple was gurgling and boiling, An Dehai hurriedly lifted the teapot up, poured two bowls of tea and put it on the incense table, retreated out of the temple, turned the wall, and looked at Deling with his head down, looking at a nest of ants on the ground who were hurriedly moving, An Dehai was a little afraid of this taciturn senior, but he was not in the court, and there were fewer rules, and An Dehai let go, "Father-in-law De, look at this ant!?" ā€

De Ling nodded silently, raised his head, looked at the sky, there was a huge dark cloud surging towards this side in the east, Xiao Anzi asked again, "Father-in-law De, you say, can we win this time?" ā€

De Ling shook his head, "I don't know, don't ask more, Niang Niang is upset, but she doesn't show it at all, I don't know if I can win, no matter what, it's not our turn to worry about these things, let's just take care of our own errands." ā€

As soon as De Ling finished speaking, a faint thunderous sound sounded in the east, and a rumbling rumble came from a distance.

The tea in the tea bowl poured by Andehai was steaming, and suddenly, the calm tea rippled, and a little dust shook under the window eaves. Prince Gong's ears moved, and the muffled voice came over. "Looks like there's a war over there."

"There's no need to worry about it here, it's useless to worry about it, Sixth Master. Please sit down. Prince Gong sat cross-legged on a futon behind the queen who was still wearing a red dragon robe, Xingzhen raised her hand, picked up a cup of tea on the incense table, took a small sip, and her dry throat finally had some moisture. Not so uncomfortable, Xingzhen put down the teacup, turned her head, and glanced at Prince Gong, "Sixth Master, this palace is too willful, I'm afraid it's going to drag you down." ā€

Prince Gong was originally full of incomprehension and complaints, but was swept away by the queen's apologetic eyes, and suddenly couldn't say anything, "What is the queen's mother." It is the duty of a slave to serve the mother," blurted out such a sentence, Prince Gong almost slapped himself twice, and he said such a groveling word by himself?

Prince Gong's face was hot, and he quickly explained again, as if he was saying to himself and comforting himself, "I'm just a prince who is not valued by the emperor, although I am Emperor Xuanzong's own son, hehe." It's not as good as a dilapidated clan, but now that I have this minister, I understand in my heart, but it was pushed out by the emperor. As Niangniang said, if the situation fails, I still have to go home and pick up the child. ā€

"Although the emperor has it, he is still Su Shun and instigated, in the end, it is because there can only be one prime minister with power around the emperor, and this dynasty is similar to the former Ming system. The previous dynasty was a scholar, and this dynasty was the minister of the military aircraft department, although he did not have the name of the prime minister, but he had the reality of the prime minister, with you, he naturally couldn't take his turn, so this is a battle for power, so this is why the emperor didn't take you to Rehe, "Xingzhen stood up, under the shabby curtain, looked at the mutilated Buddha statue, the Buddha statue head is incomplete, the left hand is holding a bottle-like magic weapon on the chest, and the right hand is holding a wishful gesture, which looks like it should be Guanyin Master," In fact, this is also the reason why Bengong and the Sixth Master can get closer, because we have a common enemy. ā€

Prince Gong was silent, and the queen said too directly, "The Buddha Incense Pavilion of Qin'an Hall is dedicated to the Buddha, but this palace doesn't believe in these gods and Buddhas, do you know why, Sixth Master?" ā€

"I don't know."

"Westerners enter churches to confess, and Chinese enter temples to bribe. Go to church to listen to sermons for free, confess souls, and listen to persuasion and teaching; When you enter the temple, you spend money to ask for Buddha and beg for promotion and fortune. The greater the desire, the more demanding, this palace is a person in the red dust, and naturally there are desires, but this palace believes in itself more, and does not believe in gods and Buddhas. Xingzhen also wanted to relieve the pressure of gambling with her own future and fate, so she could only keep talking, "What this palace wants is too great, so," Xingzhen slowly knelt down, "I have to believe in the Buddha again, thinking that it would be good if the Buddha could fulfill the wish of the main palace." ā€

I took my own posterior, the emperor's trust, my own safety, the future of this country, and the peaceful situation in the next ten years to carry out the biggest chess game in this world, and stirred China, Britain and France into this huge chessboard, I can't lose, I can't afford to lose! If I lose, I can only go to Rehe in disgrace, accept the emperor's helplessness, accept Su Shun's ridicule, and that doomous fate!

Wu Yundi, Li Hongzhang, your victory or defeat is not only related to your own official position and future, but also to the future of this country and my status, only I can see through the fog of the unpredictable future!

....

The artillery of the British and French troops shot in front of the Qing army, but there was still some distance from the cavalry of the Qing army, the foreigners were testing the distance, a few horses were frightened, ran out of the formation, a few knights couldn't pull it, pulled out their waist knives and chopped off the horse's head, blood was sprinkled all over the front of the formation, he ran back into the formation, and rode on the spare horses, Wu Yundi waved his hand, the herald blew the horn, the cavalry rushed forward, turned to the left and right, and separated like a tide, revealing the artillery in a row behind the back, The artillery was pointed at the British and French troops on the other side of the Bali Bridge.

Zhang Shusheng shouted loudly that the artillery was ready to launch, "Give these foreign devils a try and see how our artillery is!" You know, these are all artillery gunpowder sold to us by foreigners! Hahaha, it feels really cool to treat others in the way of others! Launch! Launch! A surprise for foreigners! We also have very powerful artillery in the Qing Dynasty! ā€

The artillery of the Qing army did not show weakness, and fired angry artillery fire at the British camp in turn, boom boom! (To be continued.) )
