"Our brothers, they are all fast gunners," Jin Bao nodded and praised, "according to what I mean," he showed a cruel expression on his face, "These French should be beheaded, but Lord Qincha is not allowed, saying that these people can be exchanged for silver in the future, so let's keep their dogs' lives first and take care of them all," At this time, Liu Yongfu, who was ordered to attack Fengtianmen, arrived, and he had blood stains on his body, "Lord Dutong, Fengtianmen has been opened, and the inner court has no defense!" ”

Fengtianmen is the main way to enter the inner court, Fengtianmen is taken, then it is almost possible to go to the Qiancheng Palace, unimpeded, as for the French, there is no high place to guard, "Lao Liu, your hands and feet are also very fast, so since it is opened, let's solve these things quickly, come here, take care of all the Ruan Dynasty officials, eunuchs, concubines, and clan relatives as long as they are in the palace, and they are not allowed to leak, and the important clansmen in the capital, I will bother the adults in the Xuanli Office, and I will also help to keep an eye on them, They are not allowed to slip away, and then, the new dynasty will begin, and the old dynasty will abdicate, these people are the most critical and cannot be slipped away.

The people at the funeral office took the order and left, quietly poured into the crowd, arranged these trivial matters, Jinbao turned his head and looked at the layers of palaces with crackling gunshots, "Next, find all the French for me immediately, those who resist and do not surrender, burn them directly in the palace, and kill them directly outside, without leaving them alive, as for the boss," Jinbao sneered, "Don't kill him, keep it in the end, I will personally dig out his heart and pay tribute to Li Yansheng's heroic soul!" ”

"Yes!"

When the Empress Dowager Cixi's royal drive arrived at Zhennan Pass, she personally climbed the Zhennan Pass Tower to look at the land of Vietnam with a telescope, and the document of the victory happened to arrive, "Qi Qi Empress Dowager!" "Rong Lu personally opened the document for this victory, he stood under the female wall, knelt down and said the good news, "Jin Bao led the seventh town to break through Hue, capture the puppet king of the Nguyen Dynasty, kill 2,000 French North African Army, and the commander of the North African Army is dead!" ”

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "This golden tiger, the movement is really fast, the tiger is coming down the mountain, the small French North African Legion, what's the matter?" Good! Immediately send a telegram back to Beijing, announcing to the world that Hue City has been broken, the puppet king of the Nguyen Dynasty has been captured, and this thousand-mile attack can be regarded as perfect! Then he ordered the Jinbao Department of Hue City, all the officials, clans, and harems of the Nguyen Dynasty to escort them to the north, "The Empress Dowager Cixi faced the young man wearing the Chu Yellow Four Regiment Longji costume on the side, it was really the new monarch of the Li Dynasty, Li Daoyuan, who was now newly baked, "Lord of the country, these former dynasty desires, you can deal with them." ”

Li Daoyuan lowered his hand and said, "How can a slave dare to do such a disposition, everything from the slave is given by the queen mother, and he will never dare to do anything beyond the rules." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi smiled slightly, "Since you are the new lord of Vietnam, then you are no longer a member of your banner, why do you need to be so modest, you can be called a foreign minister in the future." ”

"No," Li Daoyuan hurriedly said, "Where Tian'en is, he has to be named the lord of the country, but the Li family has been deeply favored by the emperor for many years, and the slave has grown up under the roots of the imperial city, is an authentic Chinese, and is a pure Chinese minister, even if it is the lord of Vietnam, but China will always be the lord of Vietnam, and the slave brazenly calls himself a minister of China, and asks the Empress Dowager to forgive his sins." ”

"What is there to blame for this, I told you in Pingxiang," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "The mansion in Beijing has been left to you Li Daoyuan, where to stay where you are in the habit, you can stay there if you like to stay, I also know what you are like, you can rest assured, as long as the new dynasty serves the king and respects the central government, the life of Vietnam will naturally be better." ”

Saying this, Li Daoyuan wanted to thank him again, and the Empress Dowager Cixi continued to Rong Lu, "Escort these people to Beiqi and settle in Shenglong Mansion, and order Tang Jingsong to build a palace in Shenglong Mansion, select auspicious days, and prepare for the enthronement ceremony, I will personally go to Shenglong Mansion to sit in charge of the new monarch's enthronement ceremony, by the way, Langzhuang Lake will wait until the French army is completely annihilated, and it will be used as a congratulatory gift for the enthronement ceremony." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi put down her binoculars, "Jinbao's movements, you can't stop, continue to go south, go to Saigon in one go, this is the best, send a telegram to Guo Songtao," she took Li Lianying's hand, got off the city wall, and the car was already prepared outside Zhennan Pass, and the official road extended straight to the south, "The negotiations with the French can really begin." ”

"Yes," Sun Yuwen responded, he was born in Hanlin, and now the paperwork and edicts are all written by him, "The queen mother's previous intention was to wait for the French army in Langzhuang Lake to be wiped out before starting negotiations, and please, is it not to continue to let Guo Songtao negotiate according to the previous conditions." ”

"It's okay to add a little more, ask for a price all over the sky, pay back on the ground, the French have no available military force in Vietnam now, now they should know the meaning of the phrase that the situation is stronger than people, they were unwilling to share Vietnam with me before, and now I want him to not be able to keep Hue City, and Saigon will let him not be able to keep it," the Empress Dowager Cixi got into the royal carriage, "Now the fire is almost over, first boil it slowly, and wait until Langzhuang Lake has a conclusion," the palace maid put down the curtain, and the voice of the Empress Dowager Cixi gradually disappeared," This pot of good dishes can be cooked. ”

In the city of Guangzhou, the French consul in Guangzhou, who originally expressed his impossibility of accepting the request of "all France to withdraw from Vietnam" put forward by the French commander King Yang Bing, personally visited Guo Songtao after the news of the attack on Hue City came back. It was the new cabinet deputy foreign minister, but now the consul could ask China to make all the demands.

"Don't your country have its own requirements?" Wang Yangbing and his entourage lived in the Huizhou Hall, the courtyard of the horse head wall was deep, in the hot south, but it made people feel a little cool, he invited the consul to drink a cup of coffee, and said slowly, now at this time, the most urgent thing is the Chinese side, "I want to hear your country's requirements, of course, those treaties mentioned in Shanghai, I advise you not to mention them again, those requirements are a complete waste of time." ”

The consul in Canton has apparently received an order from the country today and is very anxious to settle the matter, "Our government hopes that your country will immediately cease military operations, that the Chinese troops at Langzhuang Lake will immediately withdraw and stop the exchange of fire, and that the Chinese troops in Hue City will also immediately cease their operations.
