In mid-June, Jiujiang!

Su Yu saw the two women she hadn't seen for a long time.

Princess Shou'an, Princess Shouxi.

Princess Shou'an in history has long since died, but she is still alive in this world.

But in recent months, she has fallen ill.

Half of it is a physical disease, and the other half is a heart disease.

Originally, she could still stand on Su Yu's side with peace of mind and help Su Yu. Because the emperor is the strong, and Su Yu is the weak.

But what happened recently made her fall into extreme guilt and uneasiness.

Especially after the fall of Tianjin and Tongzhou, she couldn't even wait for the news of the emperor's flight to the north to come, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

The people from the intelligence department immediately transferred the two sisters to Jiujiang.

Su Yu has the most professional doctor here, and his level at this time is much higher than that of the imperial doctor in the capital.

Seeing Su Yu again, Princess Shou'an was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Daqing, is this going to end?" Shou An asked.

Su Yu said: "This time, I probably won't be able to die." ”

Next, Su Yu personally fed her decoction and wiped her body personally.

"Don't think about it, okay? There are many things you can't bear, and you shouldn't be responsible for them. Su Yu said.

Next, Su Yu accompanied Princess Shouxi to visit several factories in Jiujiang.

Especially in the textile factory, there are countless women in it.

After seeing these factories, Princess Shouxi said: "Su Yu, do you say that I deserve it in the Qing Dynasty today?" ”

Su Yu thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”

Princess Shouxi said: "Do you know what is going on in the north and in the capital now?" ”

Su Yu said: "Probably saying that I colluded with foreigners to split the Qing Dynasty. Even the Yangyi army was brought in by me. ”

Princess Shouxi said: "I actually read a lot of messy books, but I can't figure out a lot of things, so I just don't think about it, just play around, as if I don't care about anything." ”

"However, the Holy Ancestor, Gaozong and other ancestors and ancestors have laid down so many territories and suppressed so many traitors, and the territory of this dynasty is so much larger than that of the former Ming Dynasty, and the population has increased several times, it is still meritorious, right?"

Su Yu thought for a while and said, "Yes in a sense. ”

Princess Shouxi said again: "The former Ming Dynasty has not been able to solve the frontier problem, and it is even more difficult to manage the Mongolian and other tribes, but the Qing Dynasty has managed it well, and it has also destroyed the Dzungaria, so this is also meritorious, right?" ”

Su Yu said: "This is very complicated, and it is not all the work of this dynasty, some of them are really the foundation laid by the previous Ming Dynasty." But in terms of results, it is. ”

Princess Shouxi said, "That...... So why is there such a disaster today? ”

Su Yu said: "Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Qianlong, they all open their eyes to the world and see it clearly. In particular, Emperor Qianlong was able to make relatively accurate judgments on the trend of later generations. But he still chose to cover the eyes of the world and let the world be blinded and ignorant like this. When it came to this Daoguang and the Second Emperor Xianfeng, they couldn't even see themselves clearly, so today's disaster, the Qing Emperor's guilt cannot be shirked. ”

"Today's fruit was planted a hundred years ago."

Princess Shouxi said: "So you had already thought of breaking with the imperial brother a long time ago?" ”

Su Yu said: "What I do, he resolutely does not allow, so ...... Yes. ”

Princess Shouxi said: "So, did you think of having today a long time ago, or even waiting for today?" ”

Su Yu said slowly: "Is the princess blaming me?" ”

Princess Shouxi thought for a while and said, "I don't." ”

Then, she asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

Su Yu did not answer.

But his army had already set off.

…………………………

After the emperor fled, the entire capital was completely in chaos.

Many followed, but the vast majority could not go anywhere.

The foreigners are about to come in, and the whole capital is in chaos.

Some people gloated and thought that the British and French troops would enter the capital and kill and rob all these high-ranking officials.

It's been a long time since I saw that they were not pleasing to the eye.

When the army of foreigners came, instead of obstructing it, I had to help them move the ladder.

Even when the army of foreigners plundered everywhere, I would take the opportunity to make a fortune.

But most people, especially those above the middle level, are in extreme panic and uneasiness.

And the reader is almost desperate.

It is rumored that the British, French, and foreign armies are like monsters and demons, doing all kinds of evil.

As long as the Yangyi army goes, everything will become Senluo Hell.

In this terrified environment, Su Yao's reputation has been challenged like never before.

Or even a blow.

In a series of struggles in the past two or three years, Su Yao has always grasped the righteousness and always been on the moral high ground.

And this time, someone couldn't help but ask.

Yangyi is about to enter the capital, and the Qing Dynasty looks like it is about to die.

Isn't Su Yu's army the most capable of fighting?

Where is Su Yu's army?

Of course, there were many people who defended Su Yu, who was persecuted by the imperial court.

The last time Yangyi attacked Dagukou, although Su Yu fell out with the imperial court, he still led the army north to support, and made great achievements and defeated Yangyi.

As a result, as soon as he won the battle, Su Yu was assassinated, and instead of being punished, the murderer was promoted.

Moreover, the emperor personally said that Su Yu was a rebel minister, and he was innocent of death.

Therefore, it is understandable that Su Yu did not come, he has resigned from any position now, not even a regimental training officer.

By this time, Su Yu had been in the role of a victim.

But after the emperor fled north, the direction of public opinion changed.

The emperor fled, of course, notorious.

However, isn't the capital also your Su Yu's home?

More than 100,000 people in the capital, at the most critical moment, also took out all the coffins to support you Su Lu to set up a factory.

Now that the foreigners are about to enter the capital, don't you Su Yu show up yet?

Don't you even care about your own home? Don't you even save hundreds of thousands of benefactors?

Very few people actually say these words.

But it's hard to stop others from thinking otherwise.

The emperor announced to the world, saying that Su Yu was a rebellious minister and thief, and he had already colluded with Yangyi.

Even this time, the army of foreigners came in, and it was Su Yu and Yangyi who should join forces.

It was the alliance of the seven southern provinces that he engaged in, which split the imperial court and split the Qing Dynasty, so the Qing Dynasty could not go all out to deal with Yangyi, so there would be such a big defeat.

This time the foreigners entered the capital, at least Su Yu was guilty of forty percent.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

Countless people scolded: "Let your mother's bullshit, the emperor himself has no ability, and he can't beat the foreigners, but he puts the blame on Lord Su Yu." ”

"In the last battle, who didn't know that Lord Su Yu directly bombarded the warship of the foreign commander?"

"Lord Su Yu established the Alliance of the Seven Southern Provinces because he opposed the Treaty of Tianjin and opposed the foreigners' power on the land of the Qing Dynasty."

There are more than 100,000 Su Yu's interest community in the capital.

At that time, they generously lent money to Su Yu to set up a factory, and their son also had a good future in Jiujiang. In the past two or three years, the dividends have also been fully paid.

Therefore, he speaks for Su Yu all the time, and when he scolds and fights, he even can't wait to roll up his sleeves to fight for Su Yu.

"And now? The foreigners are about to enter the capital, where is Su Yu? ”

"Su Yu and the emperor have a grudge, but you once lent money to Su Yu, and you are always kind to him, does he want to save you?"

"Su Yu's factory in Jiujiang has a lot of foreigners as shareholder."

"The emperor is right, Su Yu is colluding with foreigners."

The public opinion in the entire capital has become a complete mess.

Su Yao's reputation was also really shaken for the first time.

…………………………

After resting, the Anglo-French army once again came towards the capital.

Ten days later!

More than 6,000 British and French troops came to the city.

As the capital of the country, for the first time in 200 years, it is facing extinction.

Monks Grinqin, Ronglu, and Boyan Nemohu gathered their armies to put up a final resistance.

Boyan Nemohu shouted loudly: "Old and young masters in the capital, open your eyes and see clearly, when it comes to the most critical moment, who will stand up and fight for the Qing Dynasty?" Fighting for the old and the young? ”

"It's my Boyan, it's Lord Ronglu......"

"Where is Su Yu in your mouth? Where is he? ”

"The foreigners are outside, once they enter the capital, they will burn and rob, and they will spoil the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law."

"You keep saying that Su Yu is a hero, and you regard him as a great savior."

"Now there will be a monstrous catastrophe soon, where is Su Yao? Before, the imperial court nailed the plaque of the rebellious ministers and thieves to Su Yu's mansion, but you secretly went to tear it down. In front of Su Yu's house, the imperial court erected a stone monument of rebellious ministers and thieves, and you secretly went to chisel it. ”

"The edict of the imperial court, the imperial court's wanted notice for Su Yao, you also secretly took it down and tore it up."

"You support Su Yu so much, where is he?"

"I tell you, where is he? He was in Jiujiang, gloating at all this. ”

"Let me tell you, Su Yu and foreigners have long colluded, foreigners invest in Jiujiang to set up factories, and foreigners are bent on supporting Su Yu to take the position. The foreigners broke through the capital, and the foreigners were going to kill my Qing Dynasty, so that Su Yu could take the throne. ”

"The last battle of Dagukou was obviously won by us, Su Lu opportunistically fired such a shot, and then played a bitter plan to be assassinated, just to have enough reasons not to show up."

"He just wants to deliberately pretend to be a victim and sit back and watch foreigners destroy our Qing Dynasty and destroy our capital. You support him here, he sneered in Jiujiang and applauded the foreigners. ”

"The emperor is right, Su Yu is a chaotic minister and thief!"

"Those of you who lent money to Su Yu to set up a factory are blind!"

"Now the foreigners are going to kill you, they want to rob your family wealth, and they want to spoil your daughter-in-law and your daughter-in-law. Where is Su Yu? Who is desperately trying to stop the foreigners for you? Or us! ”

"We, the masters of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Manchuria, are going to fight for you."

"You have a little conscience."

Then, Boyan yelled.

"Put on the plaque, erect the stele!"

"Who do I think has the face to destroy plaques and steles?"

With his order.

Once again, the plaque hung on Su Yu's mansion.

The stele once again stood at the door of Su Yu's house.

Many people watched this scene and wanted to refute it, but they were powerless. I could only watch the four big characters of rebellious ministers and thieves engraved at the door of Su Yu's house.

After doing all this, Boyan led the army and went to defend Deshengmen.

Monk Greenqin, Rong Lu, Boyan Nemo Hu led more than 10,000 troops, focusing on defending Andingmen and Deshengmen.

………………………………

"Hell, hell, hell......" Bao Ling scolded angrily.

He watched the coalition forces densely packed under the capital, and his scalp tingled for a while.

Because, time can't get stuck.

Today is June 25th.

June 9 is the opening ceremony of the London Fair, which lasts for more than a month.

The whole world fair, the opening ceremony was certainly eye-catching. But the real success is the turnover.

In particular, the turnover of the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone.

Only when the turnover exceeds a certain amount, causing a huge sensation in Europe, and making many high-ranking members of the British Empire see great benefits, will the Queen and many people on the side of Parliament really change their course and position.

In this way, the order was issued for the Count of Ergin to cease fighting and retreat.

in order to save the capital of the Qing State, save the palace of the Qing State and so on.

In order to turn the tide for Su Yao.

However, the British and French forces here are already about to break through the capital, and the World Expo over there is not over yet.

The war is progressing too fast on this side.

Bao Ling took Su Yu's envoy Shen Baozhen to the tent of the coalition army.

"Count Elgin, how far are you going to go in the war?" Shen Baozhen asked.

Count Ergin said: "Of course, occupy the entire capital, storm the palace, and then burn all your gardens and palaces." ”

Shen Baozhen said in a trembling voice: "Are you crazy? ”

Count Ergin said: "The talents of the Qing court are really crazy, and they have captured our negotiators, our journalists and officers, a whole fifty-nine people, which is an insult to our British Empire. ”

Shen Baozhen said: "On behalf of Lord Su Yu and on behalf of the Southern Seven Provinces Alliance, I demand that you must not harm civilians, loot the royal gardens, loot the palace, and not damage the palace. ”

Count Ergin sneered: "Otherwise? Is Su Yu going to war against me? ”

Suddenly, Shen Baozhen understood.

According to Count Ergin's original plan, it has not been so extreme.

Maybe it didn't rise to the point of burning down the palace at all, but he also deduced Su Yu's plan to turn the tide and enter the center.

Therefore, it is necessary to be more thorough, to completely destroy everything in the capital.

Prevent Su Yu from becoming a hero and prevent Su Yu from entering the center.

Bao Ling said on the side: "Your Excellency, don't forget the promise you made when you were in London. ”

Earl Ergin said coldly: "The London World Fair should still be in progress." It will take at least a little more than a month to return to China from London. So I probably didn't have a chance to see Prince Albert's so-called edict. ”

"Since there is no so-called edict, I have no reason to stop the war."

The negotiations between the two sides broke up completely unhappily.

The next day, the Anglo-French forces attacked!

This time, Seng Lingqin and Rong Lu and others held out longer.

But it wasn't much better, even with such a strong and tall wall, two days later, the Qing army was defeated.

The Anglo-French alliance broke through the Desheng Gate and officially entered the capital.

At this point, the capital fell.

Such a huge city, the capital of a country, only held on for less than two days.

What a shame is this?

In the Qing army, in the eyes of the entire people in the capital, the foreign army has become synonymous with invincibility.

………………………………

London!

Within a few days after the opening ceremony of the World's Fair.

First London boiled, then England boiled, and finally Europe boiled.

The opening ceremony completely amazed the whole of Europe.

Countless newspapers have made headlines.

All the words of appreciation, especially the light bulbs and the film, made an unprecedented sensation.

Darkness is officially a thing of the past.

Tomorrow has arrived.

The British Empire is still at the forefront of technology and industry.

The United States is still thirty years behind the British Empire.

The jewel in the crown of technology and industry.

And so on and so forth, all of which have become the headlines of major newspapers and magazines.

Of course, this is public opinion.

The success of this World Expo will depend on the turnover and the specific results.

The most important thing is the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, how much turnover will there be.

Because it caused a huge sensation, this fair also attracted an unprecedented flow of people.

Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone has got a very huge exhibition area.

There are flickering lights, and there are movies that are constantly repeated, so it attracts a huge number of people.

This time, the Jiujiang Economic Pilot Zone only needs to launch a few fist products.

Cigarettes, silk, rickshaws, bicycles, sounders, penicillin.

And dozens of rickshaws were put into the whole expo, and visitors were able to pay for rides.

The entire exhibition area is full of huge color photographs.

There are all kinds of advertisements, some of which are advertisements for sexy girls wearing cheongsams.

Some are pictures of people riding bicycles.

Most of them are photos of all kinds of men smoking.

In these photos, cigarettes completely add to the charm of men, make them melancholy, sexy.

There are also photos of ladies smoking, which makes people extremely stylish.

As for the photo of penicillin it is very simple, to treat syphilis, it is no longer a terminal disease.

These huge advertisements, as well as the filming of movie commercials, have caused a huge sensation.

However, the results have been mixed.

For example, the cigarettes, which have been very successful in China, have a mediocre effect at this expo, because they are a new thing, they have not been cultivated by the market, and there is no high-ranking officials and aristocrats to do publicity, so the orders are far less than expected.

The order for silk was ok because the quality was good enough and the price was low enough.

But this is a traditional product, and it doesn't bring many surprises. Moreover, the silk in the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone is not much better than other competitors, and even to the naked eye, it is not better than the Jiangnan consortium.

Of course, the cost of silk on Su Yao's side will be much lower, but he will not fight a price war for the time being, and he cannot deal a devastating blow to the national capital, but to guide them to gradually transform and upgrade.

Su Yu is not a businessman, he is a politician, and he has to consider it all.

And in China, it has brought huge surprises, and even the rickshaw orders of Jiujiang's pillar industries are just not bad. Far from being popular. Because there is no market cultivation here, the businessmen here have not yet fully seen the business opportunities.

Penicillin, totally exploded!

Because there is no need for propaganda at all, the mere fact that it can treat syphilis is enough to make a sensation in the world. And many people have been secretly circulating it for a long time.

It's just that its production is too low and too low, and it's still a gimmick.

There are only a few orders that can be pre-sold, and they are sold out, and there is not much money.

What people didn't expect was the popularity of the bike.

Prince Albert had already received samples and learned how to ride. He took the queen and Princess Alice to the exhibition area of the Jiujiang Economic Pilot Zone, and rode around in front of many people.

Then, a hundred were purchased on behalf of the royal family.

Next, the picture of Princess Alice riding a bicycle on the street actually appeared in the eyes of Londoners.

Of course, that's not the most important thing.

The important thing is the bicycle market, which Europe has cultivated a part of.

Bicycles were already around twenty years ago, and were even purchased in large quantities as a means of transportation for postmen.

Therefore, the European people have a concept of bicycles, and they also have a rigid need.

It's just that the bikes of that era were very stupid, even ridiculous, and if you look at those photos, many of them were designed and even anti-human.

A truly ergonomic bike will take decades to come.

At this time, the bicycles produced in Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone have the most perfect design.

A bicycle that surpasses this world, not to mention an era.

Whether it is in terms of aesthetics or mechanical design, it is far more than that.

It's much more comfortable, much faster, and much more beautiful to ride.

The most afraid is that there is no comparison, and once there is a comparison, you will know how advanced the bicycles in the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone are.

Su Yu knew that this product would explode, but he definitely didn't guess that it would explode to this point.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was almost no market for bicycles. But in Europe, bicycles will become fashionable, even in demand.

I don't know how many dealers came to place orders.

Dealers in the U.S., in particular, are placing even more staggering orders.

Sir Burke's hands trembled when he signed these contracts.

The price of this bike is very expensive, a full thirty-eight pounds, which is almost half a year's salary for a worker.

But dealers are still flocking to it.

20,000, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000......

Watching the orders continue to skyrocket, his mind is confused.

The cigarettes they had high hopes for were not at all as popular as they imagined, and the total order was not even 30,000 pounds.

However, orders for bicycles, which are already hundreds of thousands of pounds, are still rising.

Another hot order is the sound player.

Again, Prince Albert became the face of the product, and he was very frustrated to see his pictorial hanging in the most prominent place.

But this thing would have caused a sensation in the world. All the wealthy merchants and aristocrats instinctively want to have it.

Even the price of four hundred pounds did not stop the enthusiasm of the dealers.

It's also a huge number of orders!

However, Sir Burke, on behalf of the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, did not dare to sign it.

The production capacity cannot keep up at all, and the production capacity in two years, or even three years, is already full.

Another product that has become a complete hit is the color camera.

However, this is completely a laboratory product and is no longer available for sale at all.

However, there are still a lot of people who want to buy it.

It's not a dealer, it's simply a wealthy businessman and aristocrat who buys it themselves.

In the end, the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone shouted a sky-high price of 1,000 pounds.

However, only 100 orders can be signed.

If it is more, it will not be able to deliver the goods in two or three years.

Each of these things has to be polished by laboratory engineers one by one.

Even if you sell it at this sky-high price, the profit may not be high.

However, whether it is a bicycle or a sound machine, the combined orders are far inferior to those of another industry.

An industry in the Qing Dynasty that had almost no market for the time being.

The largest order is for lighting systems.

It is not possible to sell light bulbs alone, but to sell the entire lighting system along with a series of steam generators, electrical wiring, light bulbs, etc.

The price is very, very expensive.

And it's not a dealer order, it's all an order from government departments and wealthy nobles.

There are also many orders for warships, ships, and so on.

Buckingham Palace has been lit up, so can the Winter Palace lag behind?

Can Versailles lag behind? What about the White House?

The amount of this part of the order is really astronomical.

Because countries have no concept of this price system, they only know that it represents a very significant significance.

For many people, this is completely a political performance project, and it should be spent as much as it wants.

Because many newspapers say that electric lights represent the light of scientific and technological civilization.

Many orders were still limited until Sir Burke did not dare to sign them.

So far, whether it is a sound player, a lighting system, or even a bicycle, it is a monopoly business in the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone.

What is certain is that the amount of orders from the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone at the Expo will exceed that of the Jiujiang Investment Conference.

Twenty days later!

June 29.

Hu Xueyan, as a representative, made a summary of all orders.

Then, the whole thing was completely numb, and I could hardly believe the number in front of me.

The order amount, £7.6 million.

Astronomical, even suffocating figures.

Although, these orders will take two years, or even three years, to complete.

That is, this is the income in the next two or three years.

But, it's already terrifying.

There are more orders in Europe than in China.

The most critical thing is that it is the capacity that limits this order number.

Sound players and lighting systems are in short supply. Even bicycles are in short supply.

With the list in hand, Sir Burke went to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Albert.

"Your Royal Highness, the World Expo is not over yet, but for the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, it is over."

"Because we can't sign any more orders, the next two years, or even three years, the production capacity is completely full."

"The total order from the Qing side is about 27 million taels, while the orders from Europe and the United States are 7.6 million pounds, which is more than the Qing country."

"And what limits this order number is the capacity, leaving the bikes behind and the sounders. As far as the lighting system alone and penicillin are concerned, we will not be able to tap the benefits of the next 30 years. ”

"It's impossible to imagine that there is a gap in the market."

Prince Albert also looked at the figure in disbelief.

The British Empire's comprehensive dumping of the Qing court, the highest turnover in a year, did not exceed three million pounds.

In the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, the order turnover in Europe and the United States reached 7.6 million pounds.

Orders within the Qing Dynasty also reached 27 million taels.

Although this is the turnover in the next two or three years.

However, the benefits have completely outweighed war and dumping.

And that's just the beginning, it's all about capacity constraints.

What does it mean once capacity is fully rolled out?

It means that the British Empire will dump France, the German Confederation, the United States and other strong economies.

This benefit has completely exceeded the war against the Qing State.

So, Prince Albert said, "Can we transfer these properties to the British Empire?" ”

This is the instinctive thinking of a politician like him.

Sir Burke thought for a while and said, "Your Royal Highness, you can open a branch factory in Europe. But the key core technology in this is still in the hands of Su Yu, and the key patents are also in his hands. ”

"In addition, after the production capacity is completely exploded, the production cost in Qing is even lower than in the United Kingdom."

Prince Albert said, "Is this not just your opinion, but also part of the East India Company?" ”

Sir Burke said, "Yes. ”

For these dozen or so British consortia, the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone is simply the most successful, if not the wildest, investment they have ever made.

In just three years, I have already seen the benefits of Tianda.

In order to keep this interest, they can fight hard.

……………………………………

That evening, Prince Albert took the order attachment and had a detailed discussion with Queen Victoria.

"After careful calculation, at this rate of development, within ten years, our comprehensive investment cooperation with China can increase the gross domestic product of the British Empire by three percentage points!"

"And it's going to be the most core and valuable economic value."

"It is not a derivative of the original economy, but a purely new economic demand."

"We know that some production values are not valuable because they are at the end of the value chain. And some of the production value is very valuable because it is the source and can derive a lot of other economic value. ”

"In 1860 alone, the value brought to us by the Jiujiang Economic Pilot Zone has exceeded the maximum value of dumping against the Qing Dynasty."

The queen said: "Can't you have two interests in your hands?" Dumping while cooperating? ”

Prince Albert said: "To a certain extent, there are two interests. But in the final analysis, it is still exclusionary, and the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone is completely on Su Yu alone, and his political position in the Qing State is suppressed. In order for this part of the interests to be fully developed, it is necessary for him to take charge of the Qing state. ”

"Therefore, it is in our best interest to support Su Yao."

The queen said, "What is his appeal?" ”

Prince Albert said: "The current appeal is to stop the war in the capital of the Qing Kingdom. ”

"More specifically, the national symbols of the Qing State, including the imperial palace and the royal gardens, cannot be destroyed, and the lives and property of the people in the capital of the Qing State cannot be harmed."

"To be precise, it is to let him come forward to turn the tide and save the Qing country."

The queen thought for a moment and said, "I will summon the prime minister tomorrow to discuss this issue." ”

And this day is already June 30th.

The capital has fallen.

The Anglo-French forces have already broken through Andingmen and Deshengmen.

When the resolution comes out, it will take more than a month to go to China, and by that time it will be at least mid-August.

By then, the daylilies will be cold.

The Old Summer Palace has long been burned, and the imperial palace may have also been burned.

So, no matter what, even if the Queen and the Prime Minister reach an agreement tomorrow, it will be too late.

But......

As the representative of the Jiujiang Pilot Economic Zone, Ba Xiali did not appear during this time.

In charge of the exhibition area of the exposition, only Sir Burke and Hu Xueyan are in charge.

Because, on June 10, Basha Li left London and returned to China.

After the opening ceremony, he stressed to Prince Albert that this time the expo will be a success, and the turnover of the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone will be amazingly high.

However, we can't wait for this successful result.

The war on the Qing side is going too fast, and it must be stopped in advance.

At this time, a private letter from Prince Albert is needed.

Because Count Ergin had promised that the prince would support him as commander of the Far East, and that he would stop the war as soon as the prince's secret letter arrived.

At that time, the World's Fair was just the beginning, although it was predicted that it would be successful.

However, without the approval of the Queen, it was not recognized by Parliament.

Albert wrote this secret letter with political risks.

Ba Xiali submitted Su Yu's letter, which said that once the war spread to the imperial palace, to the royal gardens, and to the ordinary people in the capital, the hatred between the two countries could not be resolved, and the future in-depth cooperation could not be implemented.

Even, he Su Yao will lose the foundation of his governance.

Since the World Expo is destined to succeed and can prove to the Queen and the Parliament that the interests of the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone far outweigh the war and dumping, then His Royal Highness the Prince is invited to take a certain political risk and make an order in advance to end the war.

If it weren't for Su Yu, the prince would have passed away next year.

If there was no Su Yao, there would be no world expo that attracted global attention.

In the end, the prince took the risk of writing this secret order in advance, stamping it with his own seal and stamping it with the seal of the royal family.

Then, Ba Xia Li took the secret order and quickly returned to China.

……………………

Pashali had done his best, but it would take him more than a month to get back.

On July 2, the British and French forces had entered the capital.

And then, the catastrophe continued.

The coalition army began a frenzied raid, and the wealthy families in the capital were robbed and killed.

Because dozens of captured negotiators and officers were rescued from the prison from Count Elgin, and some of them were found dead, and all the rest were tortured.

The Anglo-French forces also retaliated in the name of wreaking havoc.

More tragic than in history.

I don't know how many girls have been humiliated.

I don't know how many people have been killed.

Next, the British and French troops stormed Changchun Garden and Jingyi Garden, looted the two royal gardens, and burned them.

The entire capital is full of flames.

Then, the Anglo-French forces targeted the Old Summer Palace, as well as the Forbidden City.

Looking at the skyrocketing fire.

Looking at the foreign soldiers who looted and killed people everywhere.

Countless people are desperate.

Many scholars could not accept this tragic scene and hanged themselves one after another.

At this time, someone's ears sounded the roar of Boyan Namo at that time.

Where is the Su Yu you support?

Su dragged him to collude with foreigners, and the evidence is ironclad.

Today's disaster, Su Yu is guilty of four points.

Su Yu is a chaotic minister and thief.

What's even more dampening is that Count Ergin not only did not commit any offense against Su Yu's mansion, but also specially sent hundreds of soldiers to guard it, and no one was allowed to destroy or plunder it.

In this way, Su Yao's crime of colluding with foreigners has become more conclusive.

In the entire capital, the last group of people who defended Su Yu were also completely silent.

The plaque of the rebellious thief on Su Yu's mansion.

The stone tablet of the rebellious ministers and thieves at the door is particularly dazzling.

Lin Shunian!

This was the first person in the capital to stand up and express his support for Su Yu, and lent Su Yu Jiujiang for several lifetimes to set up a factory.

His three sons were also in Jiujiang to serve Su Yao.

He didn't get into the show, but he also read poetry and books, and he was Su Yu's most hardcore supporter in the capital.

At that time, many people were infected by him, so they followed and paid out money.

During this time, when Su Yu's reputation was slandered, he was also running desperately to defend Su Yu.

Today, however, he is also desperate.

Not because his home was looted, but because of the collapse of some kind of faith.

Although he has no fame, he is also full of ownership of the country.

See such a post-apocalyptic vision.

I was desperate to see the emperor leave all the people behind.

The whole person couldn't help but be discouraged.

He also planned to hang himself, like his teacher and his brother.

I can't blame anyone, it's just that in the face of this scene in front of me, there is no hope.

……………………………………

And at this time!

It is dozens of miles away from the capital.

Su Yu looked up at the starry sky.

fell into the most violent struggles.

In fact, in a sense, the burning and looting of the Old Summer Palace and the burning and looting of the Forbidden City will only deal a more fatal blow to the authority of the Qing court.

For Su Yao, it is still a good part.

However, whether it is the Old Summer Palace or the Forbidden City.

It's not the Qing court's.

It is a treasure of the entire Chinese nation.

It is a symbol of the whole of China.

At this level, Su Yu couldn't get over it.

In front of him, there was a whole place full of knees.

Shen Baozhen, Zhaobu, Waitabu, Tingren, Li Qi, and so on.

"Dashuai, think twice!"

"The foreigner army is too strong, if you make up your mind, the army we have trained with great difficulty may be wiped out."

"When the Old Summer Palace burned, it burned. The palace, if it is burned, it will be burned. Shen Baozhen gritted his teeth and said: "The marshal is the world, we only brought 8,000 troops, these 8,000 new troops are our absolute main force, this is the foundation of the future great cause, once damaged, how to suppress the Hunan army, how to play with the imperial court?" ”

Shen Baozhen hugged Su Yu's legs and said, "Dashuai, listen to the official." On the side of the Bashali, he should have rushed back on June 10, and he would be back in a dozen days, with the edict of the British royal family. At that time, you will still be able to force Count Ergin to lead the army to withdraw from the capital, you will still be able to turn the tide, and you will still be the savior of the whole country. ”

"It doesn't affect your access to the center!"

"If you are angry and raise troops now, and fight the main force and the foreign army cleanly, what will you do in the future?"

"For the sake of the Old Summer Palace, for the Forbidden City, even for the sake of the people of the capital, it is not worth making such a sacrifice."

"What if the battle is defeated? You have lost your reputation for turning the tide, and you have become a monk and a glorious man. ”

Indeed, now Su Yu led the army into Beijing.

Even if you watch the Old Summer Palace being burned, even the palace being burned and robbed.

In the next ten days, when Ba Xiali returned, Su Yu could still appear as a hero, forcing foreigners to withdraw and save the capital.

If Su Lu's troops are defeated, then ...... In the future, the more foreigners will withdraw from the army, the more they will take the initiative to withdraw from the army, and there will be no credit for Su Yu.

In terms of political interests, Su Yu should not have sent troops to fight with the British and French forces.

Shen Baozhen yelled: "Xu Youren, you say something, Lord Chongen, you can also speak." ”

Xu Youren stepped forward and trembled: "Brother Su Yuxian, I'm ...... I also think you shouldn't have sent troops this time. ”

Chongen stepped forward and said, "Xiaoyu, I won't blame you in the slightest. For the sake of the future, you really shouldn't send troops. ”

Wang Shiqing knelt down straight and said: "Dashuai, as long as you give an order, Shiqing is willing to break his bones and not be afraid of death." But...... The subordinates also believe that they should not take risks. ”

Whether it's true or unwilling.

Everyone present begged Su Yu not to send troops.

Su Yu still looked at the starry sky quietly and didn't say anything for a long time.

He's been able to make a mistake so far, but it's too hard to get completely stuck.

Now, there is a situation where there are more than ten days of error.

The Anglo-French side advanced too fast, much faster than in history.

Su Yu has set aside two months of redundancy, but the speed of the British and French alliance is nearly three months faster than in history.

But maybe that's the best arrangement?

"Boom, boom......" There was a burst of thunder in the sky.

Bursts of lightning.

Internet access again.

However, there is nothing to help him make a decision right now.

Only himself.

Sending troops may be able to keep the Old Summer Palace, the palace, and the lives of countless people.

However, there is a high probability of defeat!

Even broken bones.

If you don't send troops, you can still reap the fruits of victory in the future.

In Su Yu's mind, all kinds of voices sounded.

It's not clear whether it's a real person or the sonorous voices of those historical figures in the books.

If the world had a future.

Will the people of the future be proud of me when they see me today?

Will you be ashamed of me?

The real hero is not ninety-nine percent sane.

One percent madness.

Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go?

In the face of the United Nations Army, did he really not think that he would be defeated?

Cooperatively, conspiring.

My authority cannot be all conspiracy, not all calculation.

There must also be light, and there must be a royal way.

Ask the heart of today, the heart of tomorrow, and the heart of a hundred years from now.

Su Yao's whole person gradually calmed down, and he was no longer anxious.

Then, he gave a faint order: "New army, go, enter Beijing!" ”

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was silent.

After a long while, Wang Shiqing knelt down and kowtowed: "Minister Wang Shiqing, meet the lord!" ”

Shen Baozhen kowtowed: "Shen Baozhen, meet the lord." ”

"Xu Youren, meet the lord!"

"Chong'en, meet the lord."

This world may still need heroism.

Eight thousand new troops shouted in unison: "Great commander, ten thousand victories!" ”

"Handsome Wansheng!"

With an order.

Eight thousand new troops, under the night, like a tide, marched towards the capital!

……………………………………

Midnight!

The capital is still looting and burning.

Still crying, still shouting.

However, suddenly a thunderbolt of news came.

Su Yu led the army into Beijing!

During this time, the Anglo-French forces had been looting and had lost any threat.

Therefore, the defense of several city gates can no longer be described as thin.

Everyone is getting rich, so why should I guard the city gates?

Moreover, knowing that the next place may be to rob the Old Summer Palace and other places, the British and French troops were stationed near the north of the capital.

Therefore, Su Yu's army almost easily took the Yongding Gate in the south and rushed into the capital.

Countless people, through the windows, through the cracks in the doors.

I saw the neat and dense Su New Army outside.

They couldn't help but be horrified, this ...... Whose army is this?

However, they knew the Su character on the military flag.

This...... This is the army of Marshal Su Yu?

So, someone cautiously poked his head out and asked, "Excuse me, is it Marshal Su's army?" ”

"Yes, we are the army of Marshal Su Yu."

"You guys, what are you doing?"

"Rescue the capital and expel the foreigners." The officer said lightly.

Suddenly, the showman inside the door cried with joy.

The windows of one house after another lit up.

The doors of each house opened.

One by one, a figure walked out.

One of the old men, with strangulation marks on his neck, was Lin Shunian, who hanged himself and was saved by his eldest son.

He trembled and shouted, "Yes, is it Su Yu?" ”

Su Yu said: "Uncle Lin, it's me!" ”

Lin Shunian's tears poured out, knelt directly on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Marshal Su Yu is here to save the capital, Marshal Su Yu is here!" ”

"The old man knows, the old man knows!"

"With my eyes, I will never look at the wrong person."

"Lord Su Yu, Wan Sheng!"

"Long live Marshal Su!" Someone shouted the wrong one.

Although it was the middle of the night, the news of Su Lu's entry into Beijing swept like a tsunami.

Wherever his new army went, countless people poured out.

This moment, regardless of his future victory or defeat.

Su Yu's charges, what collusion with foreigners, what rebellious ministers and thieves, all disappeared.

The eyes of countless people are full of infinite worship and admiration.

The foreigner army is so powerful, tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court have lost, and I don't know how many people died.

Marshal Su Yu led his army thousands of miles north.

It's life to die!

Then I went to dinner, I almost forgot to wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival, thank you!
