Chapter 938: The Age of Magic

On September 27th, it was early in the afternoon at six o'clock.

Under the light of a golden sunset, Hu Biao and others were not blocked from the position of the gate, and it was the first time that they stepped into the Old Summer Palace, which had not been destroyed.

Yes! In the process of walking in, they were not hindered at all, and no one guarded the door at all.

Originally, in the Old Summer Palace, such an important place was the summer palace of Emperor Daqing, and the Daqing Imperial Court would definitely be heavily guarded.

Daqing even set up a special Eight Banners Old Summer Palace Guard Barracks, with as many as 6,000 people.

Although the weapons are still a mixture of cold weapons and shotguns, the proportion of firearms is far higher than that of other green battalions.

It's a pity that in this war, even Hu Biao's appearance gave a hard lesson to the Yin-French coalition army at Bali Bridge.

So far, the Yin Law is still stationed in place waiting for reinforcements.

It's not like it was originally supposed to be that it is already advancing to the outside of Jingshi City.

But when Emperor Xianfeng took his wife, he still ran away as in history; The generals of the Eight Banners of the Yuanmingyuan garrison shouted that they wanted to go to Xianfeng to escort them, and they also ran away with their own soldiers.

In this way, it is strange that the remaining Eight Banner Soldiers still have the heart to continue guarding.

They also ran away in all directions, and ran back to the Jingshi Middle School, which was not much safer; In the huge Old Summer Palace, only some palace maids and fathers-in-law who had nowhere to go were left.

At the same time, such a chaotic situation is only a microcosm of the current Daqing Beijing Division.

Those who can run are basically running, and even if they don't run away, they are ready to run away as soon as they see that the situation is not good.

The people in the city are more concerned about practical problems such as firewood, rice, oil and salt after the city gate is closed; As for Daqing's Jingshi, they will all be occupied by foreigners, and the matter of their wool will be closed.

After all, even the emperor didn't want this Jingshi, and ran away with his daughter-in-law.

They call themselves minions, no! It should be that Qiu Ba and the fart people, who are not even qualified to call themselves minions, how can they have the slightest motivation to fight to the death.

In short, Emperor Xianfeng's so-called 'Chengde Autumn Hunt' can be regarded as the last possibility of Daqing fighting to the death and defending the Beijing Division.

In fact, they are ready to agree to all the conditions of the Yin-Law Alliance.

It's nothing more than a compensatory for some silver and land, and they can afford it......

The next second after entering the Old Summer Palace, Xuange Camp is also a group of people who have eaten and seen; At the beginning, the palaces of the Great Song Dynasty and Dajin were not missing, and even the goods who had stayed overnight immediately looked stupid.

Because of everything in front of them, they refreshed their cognition of the word 'fairyland on earth'.

However, it seems that such a situation is relatively normal.

You must know that since the beginning of the 48th year of Kangxi, it has been built in a century, and since then, it has been repeatedly repaired and expanded by three generations of Jiaqing, Daoguang and Xianfeng.

It took more than 150 years to build such a royal garden.

Among them, the cost of construction and maintenance has reached an astonishing 650 million taels of silver, which can be as amazing as 3 trillion if converted into the purchasing power of the modern plane.

Therefore, this one cost amazingly, and the craftsmanship of some of the strongest craftsmen in Daqing at that time was extremely poor, and the garden of ten thousand gardens was built.

In terms of architectural level, it has actually reached the pinnacle of the ancient garden art of the flower planter.

When it was officially displayed in front of Hu Biao and others, it immediately made these soil buns feel like they had come to a fairyland.

I saw that in more than 5,200 acres, such a huge area, exquisite landscapes, pavilions and pavilions are dotted among them.

The buildings inside are mainly Chinese-style, supplemented by Western-style, and the scenery of various styles of the East and the West is a perfect fusion of ingenuity.

For a while, under the golden sunset, the beautiful scenery unfolded.

Even if it made everyone dumbfounded, they actually forgot what the purpose of coming in was.

Such a situation until they were about to enter a glorious palace with the 'Zhengda Hall of Light' hanging on it as they walked.

More than two dozen panicked fathers-in-law, holding bows and arrows, knives and guns and other cold weapons in their hands, rushed towards this side.

The first one looked to be in his thirties.

Although the white face does not need to look like a father-in-law's dress, his figure is powerful and agile; With the eyesight of Hu Biao and others, at a glance, you can know that this person should have good skills.

After the group of fathers-in-law rushed to a distance of twenty or thirty paces and stood still, the weapons in their hands were raised to this side, and the leader immediately shouted unceremoniously:

"Where did the dog thief come from, he is so bold.

This is the place where you men can come, and this is the place where you people can come. Get out of our house quickly, otherwise be careful that the court has strict laws and will take you to justice~"

In the tone, it was actually a little unpolite.

It's just that after coming back to their senses and seeing the iconic dresses of these fathers-in-law, Hu Biao and the others didn't have any anger in their hearts.

The reason is simple, according to what they have learned.

In the original history, facing the French army that was the first to rush over and plan to plunder.

The famous monk Grinqin, with his remaining elite horse team of the grassland, soon ran away without a trace.

The devil six, who stayed in the city and was fully responsible, retreated in the city with the rest of the defenders, and there was no intention of leaving the city at all.

Only in front of them, the first one father-in-law.

It's just that Ren Liang, the father-in-law at the level of the 'Eight-rank Leader', takes more than 20 'Skillful Fathers-in-law' under him.

That is, the fathers-in-law who usually practice wrestling martial arts in the Old Summer Palace, can not only perform for the nobles, but also have the role of protecting the royal family.

They put up a desperate resistance against the Yin Law robbers, "not afraid of being killed, and moving forward".

There was no suspense in the result, and more than 20 people were all killed on the spot.

Frankly speaking, although their physical aspects are not so complete because of the ignorance of the feudal dynasty; But the blood and courage shown are far stronger and more worthy of respect than other complete men.

In addition, there is also the minister of the Yuanmingyuan here, Wen Feng threw himself into the sea and died, and he was somewhat stupid and loyal.

Therefore, for the unceremonious scolding in Ren Liang's mouth, Hu Biao and the others did not have the slightest dissatisfaction,

But after they reacted, they also knew that they couldn't continue the ink; In a hurry, Hu Biao chose to show his identity straight to the point.

Raising his palm, he made a clear handprint on a wooden pillar beside him.

Hu Biao clasped his fists at Ren Liang and the others with both hands, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am Hu Yitong, the current leader of the Xuange Battalion, and I am not a Shunmin who is afraid of the Daqing Imperial Court's justice.

I might as well tell you that we are here for those treasures in the Old Summer Palace.

We are not coveting these treasures, they are worth a lot of money.

Rather, these ceremonial vessels from the pre-Qin period to the jewelry of famous calligraphy and painting in recent years; Which one is not the treasure of my flower planter, and the wealth that does not belong to all the people in the world?

Xianfeng, a descendant of a wild boar skin, and the Manchurian people can not care about these treasures; In order to escape for his own life, he can easily leave it behind and let those Yin Law barbarians snatch it.

But we can't do it, and we can't let this happen.

Seeing that you are also a little bold and bloody, I don't want to embarrass you; The Yin Law Barbarians may come to kill at any time, and there will naturally be a life-and-death battle at that time.

Naturally, you can't take all the treasures in the garden with you.

But I still have some money here, and you can use it as a coil to flee for your life; It's no better to go back to your family than to stay here and wait for death. ”

After saying this, the chief financial officer of the God of Wealth team didn't need Hu Biao to speak, and directly threw an ordinary burden on his back to the ground seven or eight steps away.

Suddenly, some of these industrial silver bricks, as well as shredded silver, were revealed in front of Ren Liang and others.

All the quantities are added together, and it can probably have more than three hundred taels; After dividing it, although there are only a dozen taels per person, it is enough to use it as a coil.

It's just that after seeing these silvers, a bitter smile appeared on Ren Liang's face; The rest of the fathers-in-law are also emotionally depressed.

In Hu Biao's palm, in the hard wood pillar, it was all under the power of a clear handprint.

Everything proves that these people, claiming the identity of the Xuange Battalion, should be true.

Although they ask themselves that they are brave, where are they the opponents of these legendary characters; It's just that the thought of leaving here and leaving makes me feel dazed and flustered.

After being stunned for a minute, Ren Liang muttered:

"Those of us eunuchs, if it weren't for themselves, or because their families really couldn't survive, who would be willing to enter the palace and make a living by cutting off their children and grandchildren.

Now that we're leaving here, we're basically homeless, so where can we go?

After many years in the palace, there is no other craft at all, and we can only serve people, what can we do to make a living?

Besides, entering the palace to cut off the family bloodline, we are already unfilial; If you run away with your money and don't protect the emperor here, it will be even more disloyal.

If you are disloyal and unfilial, if you die, you will go to eighteen layers of hell.

So, all the good men of the Xuange camp, you just wait for me to have a good time. ”

As he spoke, Ren Liang had already thrown a waist knife in his hand to the ground; The other fathers-in-law hesitated a little and made the same move.

Soon, under the sound of 'jingle dong~', all kinds of bows and arrows, knives and guns were thrown to the ground by them, and they put on a posture of letting Hu Biao and others do it.

After seeing such a scene, Hu Biao had a better headache than when he faced a large number of Yin Law coalition forces.

From the words in Ren Liang's mouth, he knew that under the records of only a few words in history, where could he clearly explain the sorrow of Ren Liang's little people in such an era.

It is only now that they understand a little:

Historically, these people fought to the death with the French army rushing in.

In addition to the indelible blood and courage in their hearts, there should be a large part of the reason that they are defending this Old Summer Palace, the home where they live......

******

Killing Ren Liang and them is, of course, impossible.

However, if you don't kill them and keep them, it will also cause some great inconvenience to some of their follow-up actions; For a while, in the face of this nonsense sudden situation, Hu Biao and everyone in the team had a headache.

Fortunately, at this time, the second leader of the team, Yang Dongli.

This old fritter who has been running business in the modern plane for many years and has a bright brain, stood up after thinking of something, and said with a haha in his mouth:

"Guys, I'm afraid you're thinking a little wrong.

To put it mildly, you have all reached the point where you need to enter the palace, and naturally you are not the Eight Banners Uncle who has hardcore crops and does not worry about food and clothing.

Since he is not the uncle of the Eight Banners, he must be the descendants of the flower family.

So being disloyal to Xianfeng, a Manchurian, is what kind of disloyalty, I'm sorry that the flower grower is the real disloyalty; I forgot all the great sins that these Manchurians did in the customs after entering the customs, and even unkind and unjust.

If you continue to give your life for Xianfeng, you will really become a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person.

It's better to do what you can for us before the Yin Law Barbarians arrive; Before the war is about to begin, we will arrange for you to leave.

Make sure you have a sum of money to live out the rest of your life.

And how about arranging a safe enough place for you to live a different life?

If that doesn't work, then there's nothing we can do; It doesn't matter if you wipe your neck or find a tree with a crooked neck to hang yourself, you will die early and be born sooner.

Yang is here to wish you that you can be reborn into a good family in the next life~"

In the face of Yang Dongli's proposal, it may be the psychology of 'it is better to die than to live'.

Or perhaps, the legendary experience of the Xuan Ge camp in their ears at least let them give a guarantee, so that Ren Liang and the others would not hesitate in the slightest.

Anyway, their two dozen fathers-in-law gathered together and discussed in a low voice for a while.

After Ren Liang came over again, he made a big green popular salute, and at the same time said a sentence in his mouth: "All the good men of the Xuange camp, we are willing to follow you."

In addition, in the garden, there are as many as seven or eight hundred palace maids and fathers-in-law, who are also some hard-working people who have nowhere to go, and I don't know if they can also come along to help. ”

"As long as you do things with peace of mind, it doesn't matter how much, we can arrange it."

Hu Biao waved his hand and agreed very proudly.

When he agreed, he didn't even know how much convenience his decision would make their future actions easier......

After eight o'clock that night, including the Old Summer Palace, Qichun Garden, and Changchun Garden.

The entire Old Summer Palace in a broad sense can be regarded as completely in the hands of Hu Biao and them.

266 fathers-in-law, 272 palace maids, and a total of 538 hard-working people who had nowhere to go, when they had no other choice, chose to gamble with the heroes of the Xuange camp.

I hope to gamble on a chance to survive and be able to die well.

Of course, the above 538 people are definitely not all the people currently stranded in the Old Summer Palace.

For example, Wen Xiang, the minister in charge of the garden, and a concubine who Emperor Xianfeng had not had time to take away when he left in a hurry, as well as more than 200 fathers-in-law and palace maids.

For various reasons and concerns, they were reluctant to cooperate with these traitors of the imperial court.

However, Hu Biao was too lazy to embarrass them, so he took care of these people temporarily, and promised that he would naturally let them leave before the Yin-Law Coalition Army came over.

Under such an operation, the news that Hu Biao and they arrived at the Old Summer Palace was magically concealed.

Perhaps such a concealment lasted only a few days.

But these few days are enough time for them to make some arrangements.

So, during this period of time at the end of September 60, there were some historians and enthusiasts in the Old Summer Palace, and every time they turned to the relevant records, they would always feel a very magical scene:

Facing foreign invaders, at the most dangerous critical moment in Jingshi.

The emperor of Daqing was the first to run, and the army fed by finances and taxes either ran away or was always ready to flee.

The people hung up as if they had nothing to do with themselves, numbly waiting for the intruders to arrive.

Only in the Old Summer Palace, some eunuchs and palace maids, under the leadership of more than 20 people from the Xuange camp, were really preparing for this war.

They packed the treasures in the Old Summer Palace according to their type, preciousness, weight, etc., and took measures to preserve them for a long time, and even had a transfer order.

In addition to these, trenches and fortifications were dug throughout the garden.

Those who should fight have fled, but those who should not have fought have painstakingly prepared; As long as you think about that picture, it will make people feel extremely magical.

Actually, in this magical era created by Daqing.

Countless things that make people laugh and cry are just the beginning.

And in this process, the busiest person is not Hu Biao, the commander; Nor is it any of the Xuange camps.

Instead, it is Ah Li and Er Fat, the pets of the two, Hai Dongqing.

The reason is very simple, after the people in the Xuange camp use light skills, no matter how fast they run, can they compare to Hai Dongqing flying in the sky in terms of speed?

So in order to transfer the efficiency of a lot of treasures, Hu Biao had to take a risk.

Specifically, it is to equip most of the space they have on hand.

It includes a 10 cubic capacity space ring, two 2 cubic space rings, and 6 0.5 cubic space wraps, which are used as turnover containers.

This is equivalent to transferring a treasure with a capacity of 17 cubic meters each time.

So pity the two Hai Dongqing, after the above space equipment was filled, they were immediately commanded by Ah Li to fly to the Zunhua area.

flew all the way to Xiaoling in Daqing, and handed over the space equipment to Er Fat, who was waiting here.

waited until the second fat and put all the treasures in it in the dungeon one by one; Without damaging them, they were stacked as high as possible.

Let the two Hai Dongqing take the empty space equipment and start flying back to the Old Summer Palace.

Even after each round trip, the top-notch Haidongqing produced by the system still needs to rest for a few hours; But in a day, they can make three trips.

The efficiency of making such a transfer is far more efficient than expected.

It's just that with the astonishing number of treasures in the Old Summer Palace, how many treasures can be transferred still depends on the future movements of the Yin Law Alliance......
