The elite of the Eight Banners has not changed in the slightest.

At that time, when they were at Bali Bridge, the Mongolian horse team was like this, rushing forward with their heads buried and with a bloody courage.

It seems that as long as you are brave and desperate, you can prove that you are a qualified soldier.

But in fact, this is not even bravery.

Burying your head and rushing forward is actually another kind of slackness.

In fact, at this time, Su Yu was very willing to put himself in the shoes of this group of Eight Banner soldiers.

Prince Yi said that in the past two years, they have been brave and trained hard, and they have changed.

Su Yu was disdainful after listening to it just now, but if you think about it carefully, maybe many Eight Banners soldiers really think so.

Even, they really had a period of desperate sweat training, even bleeding.

Even in training, the head broke the blood flow.

But that's more of a headless fly-style humiliation effect, three minutes of heat.

I sweated, I bleed, and then I rested peacefully, and I felt that I had tried.

Just like the Qing court in history, after the British and French coalition forces broke through the city of Beijing, it also seemed to be ashamed and brave, and wanted to reform and develop the Westernization movement, which also made a vigorous and vigorous development, and created a so-called Tongzhi Zhongxing.

Especially after the so-called victory in Zhennanguan, I felt that I had won the victory against the French, and I felt that I was very strong and could lie down for a while.

Then the ensuing Sino-Japanese War completely shredded the bottoms of the entire country and nation.

The so-called innovation, without touching the fundamental problem, has a fart.

The so-called effort is to work from the inside out.

If you don't completely shatter your past, reshape your soul, and don't complete the bloody transformation from the core to the flesh, there's a fart.

Don't fight the hardest battles, there's a fart.

Look at the rise of the foot basin, how tragic and cruel was the Russo-Japanese War?

Looking at the scattered war horses and corpses all over the ground.

Su Yao didn't have any joy of victory, only felt a burst of sadness.

This country is backward and decadent, and this group of Eight Banner soldiers certainly bears an unshirkable responsibility.

Even the whole country, is responsible.

Old thinking, old thinking, is not the responsibility of one family and one surname.

But the biggest responsibility, of course, is the leader, you can't find a way out, and you take them around the quagmire.

After the fifty Eight Banners elite cavalry was wiped out, the remaining fifty Eight Banners elite infantry were also completely stunned.

All of a sudden, I don't know whether I should move forward or go backward.

The whole formation began to be chaotic, some people retreated, others rushed forward.

Prince Yi couldn't help it and yelled, "Go back to defense."

After yelling in this life, the general led the remaining fifty infantry to retreat behind the low wall, intending to fight a wave.

Although it is dishonorable, it is more important to win.

On the side of Su Yu's new army, after everyone loaded the bullets, the ten people were divided into two parts.

From the left and right flanks, they began to outflank the fifty Eight Banner soldiers.

Everyone was stunned.

You, ten of you, are going to outflank us on two wings?

Fifty Eight Bannermen began to raise their guns and start aiming, as soon as they entered the firing range, they began to shoot.

However, before it entered the firing range, Su Yu's new army had already begun to lie on the ground and crawl forward.

Yes?!

This, how to fight this? You're lying on the ground, and we're hit?

Haven't you experienced it?

Before the rear-loading repeating rifle came out, it was basically impossible to crawl forward and fight.

And the appearance of the Su's serial gun can make this tactic appear.

Next, the elite of Su Yu's two squads directly crawled forward to the two wings of the Eight Banners.

After entering the firing range.

Two small

The team began to fire.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Su Yu closed his eyes, not wanting to look at them at all.

This group of Eight Banners soldiers was too clumsy to deal with it at all.

And this temporary venue, there is not even a place to hide.

In just a few moments, it was knocked down.

Yi Cheng was yelling again, "You guys also get down, get down."

Suddenly, the remaining Eight Banners soldiers also began to lie down.

This one is lying on the ground, and it is indeed difficult to hit.

However, as soon as this group of Eight Banner soldiers lay down like this, Su Yu's new army got up and charged directly towards this group of Eight Banner soldiers lying on the ground.

"Bang, bang, bang......" The Eight Banners fired in a panic.

But the hit rate was so bad that I basically didn't hit.

"Bang!"

Unlucky, one of the soldiers of Su Yu's new army was directly hit in the stomach, and his whole body trembled violently.

He glanced down, and at this time the adrenaline was rushing, but he didn't know that it hurt.

Seeing the wound in his stomach gush blood, the soldier gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward.

Minor injuries do not get out of the line of fire.

When fighting against the Anglo-French forces in the capital, many more brothers were much more seriously wounded than this, and they still insisted on fighting.

"Surrender, gun raised!"

"Surrender, gun raised!"

Ten people, outflanking more than thirty people on both sides.

Some of the more than 30 Eight Banner soldiers raised their guns at a loss.

"Don't surrender, don't surrender, fight with them, fight!" Someone suddenly yelled.

Suddenly, the blood-surging Eight Banner soldiers put down their raised hands and prepared to step forward desperately.

However, the guns in their hands were already out of bullets.

There were no bullets, but there were bayonets, so they waved the bayonets in their hands and rushed up frantically.

Su Yu's new army was elite, and immediately took the initiative to change formations.

Two three-person teams, one four-person combat team.

The team of four, with the wounded brother behind them.

Then, constantly aim and fire.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang......"

Such a close distance is even more one-sided slaughter.

Just a moment later.

Most of these 30 or so Eight Banner soldiers have already fallen.

Su Yu's new army hesitated slightly, but it was only less than a second, and when he saw that the other party did not surrender, he continued to fire.

And then......

The battle was over.

All the Eight Banners infantry fell and lay on the ground wailing.

Because after completely locking in the victory, Su Yu's new army has already avoided the key point, just making the other party lose his ability to act.

From start to finish.

The whole battle probably lasted less than half an hour.

One hundred Eight Banners New Army was almost wiped out.

And one person was injured in the new army of Su Yu.

There was a deathly silence.

They thought they would lose, but they didn't expect it to be so ugly.

Even Su Yu didn't expect that the level of this group of Eight Banners elite individuals was actually okay.

But I didn't expect it to be so unorganized.

Either they don't know what to do, they either raise their guns and shoot indiscriminately, or they just bury their heads and rush wildly.

All the Eight Banner ministers present were stunned.

The queen mother of the two palaces only felt cold all over her body and her face was pale.

"Eight Banners, unexpectedly...... Is it so unbearable?" For a long time, Yehnara said.

Almost no one next to him answered.

"Rong Lu, is the Eight Banners so unbearable?" The Queen Mother asked again.

Rong Lu said: "Queen Mother, times have changed, and the way of fighting has also changed. And the Eight Banners Army is still fighting with the old way of thinking, which is why this is the case."

The Queen Mother asked

"What about your Tianjin New Army?"

Rong Lu said: "The Tianjin New Army, the tactical level is not bad. But resilience and willpower are far behind."

The Queen Mother said, "Then how did this resilience and willpower come about?"

Rong Lu said: "Fighting, going to fight the most difficult and tragic battle, gradually honed out."

The Queen Mother asked, "Su Yu, which battle is the core key of your army?"

Su Yu said: "Defend the Old Summer Palace, defend the battle of the palace."

The Queen Mother said, "What were your casualties in that battle?"

Su Yu thought for a while and said, "It's about twice the size of the British and French forces, and my army is ...... Most of the casualties."

The Queen Mother said, "The casualties are ...... So big?"

Su Yu said, "Yes."

"Queen Mother, the hearts of foreigners are not dead, their army is so powerful, and they have an army of millions."

"You see that I am so powerful in these ten people, but ...... Britain, France, Russia and other countries, such a powerful army, more than a million."

"The last time the Anglo-French army broke through the capital, it was earth-shattering for us, but it was not worth mentioning for the British and French, and the strength they used was only a drop in the bucket."

"If you don't reform the military at this time, I'm afraid that the country will be ruined in the future."

……………………………………

In the Nanyuan campus, the results of the actual combat drill spread like a storm throughout the capital.

And the prince at the scene was completely wilted.

Many ministers of the Eight Banners have really considered this issue for the first time.

Before, everyone couldn't turn a corner, and they only felt that the abolition of the Eight Banners Army was to subvert the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and to have ill intentions.

But now another question comes to mind.

If Su Yu was Dong Zhuo and Su Yao was Cao Cao, he probably wished that the Eight Banners Army was so weak.

It's better to be weak like this all the time.

Why he wanted to push for military reform, and he made it clear that the first batch of the newly built Imperial Army would have half of the bannermen.

Therefore, this small actual combat drill is really a thousand pounds.

Let everyone completely sober up.

The army has reached the point where it cannot be reformed.

……………………

At this time, twenty or thirty thousand Eight Banner soldiers outside the palace were still gathered here, waiting for the results of the Nanyuan school field.

Prince Yi Cheng appeared in front of everyone on a fast horse.

Suddenly, countless people rushed up and said, "How is it, Prince? How's that?"

Yi Cheng walked up to the high platform that had been built, looked at the dense crowd, and said slowly: "One hundred and eight elite banners, ten people against each other, the whole army was annihilated."

Suddenly, the audience was in an uproar.

Countless people have changed color.

This, how is this possible?

A hundred people, and you can't beat ten others?

And the whole army was wiped out?

After a long while, someone asked, "Prince Xuan, what about the casualties of Su Yu's army?"

The prince said, "I hurt someone."

Countless people present only felt a burning pain on their faces.

It's a shame.

Even doubt life.

Is our Eighth Banner Army already so bad?

We usually train, and we think it's okay, I think it's very majestic, and it's very hard-working.

Yi Cheng waved his hand and said, "Disperse, disperse!"

Someone shouted, "Prince, ...... Is the Eight Banners still being dismantled?"

Yi Cheng also fell into confusion, and said, "Listen to the court, listen to the queen mother of the two palaces."

Then, he left on his own and returned to his own palace of the prince of Tun.

Today's battle had too much impact on him, and he didn't want to talk or think now, he just wanted to go home and stay alone.

…………………………

Next!

Only half of the Eight Banners gathered outside the palace were left.

For the first time, the center of the imperial court really began to discuss whether to abolish the Eight Banners Army.

The scope was very small, only a dozen people participated, all of whom were important officials of the imperial court.

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, most of the time, just listened and didn't express much opinion.

Yehenara said, "I will fix the tone, and then everyone will speak freely, and thoroughly explain what is in their hearts, and explain the truth thoroughly."

"Even if there's a quarrel, it doesn't matter at all."

"At least everyone knows that it's not for personal vendettas, it's for the country."

Next, the center of the court was locked in a heated debate.

Sure enough, the more you debate, the clearer it became.

Of course, it is not that right and wrong are becoming clearer, but that positions are becoming clearer.

Duanhua said: "Lord Su, I want to ask, will the abolition of the Eight Banners Army cause an effect in the hearts of the people of the world, that is, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is gone?"

Su Yu said, "Yes."

Duanhua said: "Then let me ask, according to what you said, directly dismiss all the more than 100,000 people in the Eight Banners Beijing Battalion, and then select the best, and if the number is not enough, then select from the bottom banner people." If you have trained 30,000 or 40,000 new-style Imperial Army, you will train exactly the way you did, can you train a strong army?"

Su Yu said, "Reluctantly."

Duan Hua said, "The Imperial Army that has been trained still uses its original name, isn't it? It's still called the Yellow Flag Army, the Yellow Flag Cavalry, etc., isn't it? What is the name, does it affect the combat effectiveness?"

Duanhua's words spoke everyone's hearts.

If you talk about military reform, then we will change it.

You said you want to train the army according to your method, then we will do as you say.

However, the name can not be changed.

Imperial CSKA is still called the Eight Banners Army, isn't it?

Then, everyone looked at Su Yu.

There were 16 ministers, 11 banner men, and 5 Han Chinese.

Su Yu said slowly, "No."

Prince Gong said, "Why not?"

Su Yu said, "Because, the population base of the banner people is not enough."

"We need at least three and a half million CSKA in the future, Prince Gong and Prince Zheng, can we pick out so many elite prime men from the bannermen?"

I definitely can't choose it.

Monk Grinqin said: "If there are not enough banner people, they will be selected from among the Mongols."

Zaiyuan said: "It's not enough, just pick them from the Han people, and then carry them the flag, anyway, there are eight banners of Han troops in the eight banners."

"No!" Su Lu cut the railway.

Su Shun's face twitched slightly, "Give us a reason."

Su Yu said, "Manchu and Han are opposed!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts trembled.

It's a soul topic that no one dares to touch.

The Antagonism between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty became more and more serious.

In the current situation, the central Manchurians have the final say, but most of the places are Han Chinese.

Prince Gong said, "You ...... Do you want to blur the boundaries between Manchu and Han? 「

Now, the queen mothers of the two palaces are beginning to be afraid of this topic.

The abolition of the Eighth Banner Army is already an extremely deep-seated reform.

The Manchu and Han systems are the soul of the country's system.

Manchu and Mongolian marriages, control of the Han people.

This was the basic state policy of the Qing court.

Su Yu said, "Yes."

Everyone trembled slightly, and read a sentence in their hearts.

You...... You're awesome.

You dare to say this, you are awesome.

The few Han ministers present were roaring in their ears.

Whether it is Zhou Zupei, Jiao Youying, or Tian Yugong and others, their brains are like roaring.

Tian Yugong has been following Su Yu for a long time, and he probably knows a thing or two about his inner policy, but he feels that this is the deepest idea and cannot be described to the public.

However, Su Yu admitted it so openly.

Yi trembled and said, "Su Yu, you ...... You are also a banner person, you are also a clan, and you are also a descendant of your ancestors."

Su Yu said slowly, "Prince Gong, in the face of great changes unseen in a century, if you want to strengthen this country, is it enough to rely on the strength of the Manchus and Mongols? Of course, it was not enough, so there was the rise of the Hunan army of the Zeng Kingdom."

Duanhua said: "Lord Su Yu, you also know Zeng Guofan, now that they have almost 200,000 troops, they just don't fight Anqing, and they don't have the same heart as us."

After saying this, Duanhua couldn't help but regret it a little.

There were still too many people present, and if his words came out, it would cause an uproar.

But under the emotion of anger, he still couldn't help but say it.

Su Yu said: "First cut the Eight Banners Beijing Battalion, then cut the local Eight Banners, then cut the local Green Battalion, and then cut the local regimental training, of course, including the Hunan Army."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's scalps were numb again.

That's a whole million people.

Su Yu said: "While cutting, while training the army. After you have practiced a part, you will cut another part."

Monk Lingqin said, "Su Xiang, you are so violent, aren't you afraid that before you train a new army, the world will be in chaos and fall apart?"

Then, Monk Greenqin bowed down and said, "Queen Mother, the servant suggested that the Eight Banners military camp should be cut by one-third first. Then train 30,000 men of the new Imperial Army and see what happens."

"And the new Imperial Army that has been trained is still named the Eight Banners."

"No Eight Banners, not very clear."

Then, more than a dozen people present came forward one after another, "The slave seconded it!"

"The minions seconded!"

"The minions seconded!"

Among the dozen or so people present, all of them seconded the proposal.

In addition to Su Yu, Tian Yugong, and Rong Lu.

Yehenara said, "Ronglu, what do you think?"

Rong Lu said, "The minions are neutral."

Tian Yu said fairly: "I support Su Xiang."

Thirteen to two present.

Prince Gong said: "Empress Dowager Qi, the newly built Imperial Army is still named after the Eight Banners, so that the Eight Banners will be honorable, and the backlash of the Eight Banners Army will not be so drastic, and the difficulty of military reform will be greatly reduced."

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces couldn't help but look at Su Yu, obviously wanting him to nod.

"So this kind of drastic reform, the more stable it is, it doesn't matter if the action is big, but the slogan should be as small as possible." Su Shun said: "The louder the slogan is shouted, the more difficult it is to move an inch."

Suddenly, Prince Yi said, "Lord Su, I want to ask. Nanyuan military exercise, the ten people in your army are so strong in combat, does it have anything to do with weapons?"

After calming down, Yi Cheng finally came up with this key point.

Su Yu said, "Yes, it has a huge relationship with the new rifle."

Yi Cheng said, "Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army is not as weak as imagined. Your new army doesn't appear to be as strong as it seems, relying heavily on new rifles, right?"

Su Yu said, "Yes."

"So, as long as the Eight Banners Army undergoes new training and is equipped with these new rifles, it can become powerful, right? Why do you want to make such a big move, cut them all, and you can't even keep your name?"

Su Yu said: "Prince Xuan, speak freely, what you want to say, you can say it clearly."

"So, what you rely on is the benefit of new weapons, and you can be regarded as opportunistic and caught us off guard, aren't you?"

Su Yu said slowly, "Prince Xuan, did this new weapon fall from the sky? Isn't that part of the fighting power?"

Prince Yi said, "Just buy it from foreigners, didn't you buy this new weapon from foreigners?"

Su Yu

Staring at his face, he said slowly, "This new type of serial rifle was designed by myself."

His voice was calm and deep.

Everyone was stunned, yes...... Did you design it?

"I designed it." Su Liu's voice suddenly raised, and he said, "This new type of Lianzhu rifle was designed by me, it is the most advanced weapon in the world, it can change the entire battle situation, and it is an epoch-making weapon."

"But...... I can't produce it, so I'll have to give it to the British arsenal to produce it, and I'll have to pay thirty pounds to buy it back."

"I have many, many ideas for new weapons in my head, but I don't dare to get them out."

"Why don't you dare to take it out, because I'm afraid that when the foreigners come out, they will turn around and take these weapons to hit us."

"We cannot make it ourselves."

"Why can't we make it? Ask your brains......

"Because in your minds, there are only eight flags, only these stale things."

"You keep saying that the new Imperial Army is still named after the Eight Banners, isn't it?"

"Of course not, I just want to ask, how many years can a soldier serve? Seven or eight years is remarkable."

"What about the recruits? Since it is crowned in the Eight Banners, it must still be chosen from among the flag people, right?"

"If you want to achieve a powerful Imperial Army, you must absorb hundreds of millions of people's strength, and you can no longer be named the Eight Banners."

"If you want to subdue the hearts of the people of the world, and if you want to use all the people's power, you still can't be named in the name of the Eight Banners."

"Otherwise, the selected soldiers will only get worse and worse, and they will not use a few trillion manpower, stick to the name of the Eight Banners, and enclose themselves for themselves?"

Prince Yi pointed at Su Yu and said angrily: "Su Yu, you are also a flag man, what do you mean to get worse and worse, in your mind, is the flag man so unbearable?"

"yes, it's that unbearable!" Su Yu roared angrily, "All of them are cultivated as waste!"

………………………………

The meeting at the highest level on military reform ended unhappily.

And this issue is already difficult to break through.

Neither side will back down.

Then, there was a new argument.

The battle at the Nanyuan campus was not at all because the Eight Banners Army was too incompetent, nor was it because the new army was too powerful, but because of the new rifles.

What kind of ability is it to rely entirely on the benefits of new weapons?

If you have the ability, you give us this batch of new rifles to the Eight Banners Army, everyone has the same weapon, and try it again.

It's all too familiar.

A complete defeat, a humiliating defeat, made the group sober up a little, ashamed, and wanted to cheer up a little.

But soon, they will find a reason to fail.

Then, lie down again.

Three-minute heat.

With the defeat on the battlefield of Nanyuan, half of the Eight Banners felt humiliated and felt that they had no face to continue to make trouble, so they retreated.

But...... Half remained.

Continue the siege of the Royal Palace.

It is clear that the struggle has entered a new stage.

More than 10,000 people have become new chess pieces and new tools for many Eight Banner ministers to exert pressure on Su Yao.

Then, after the prince Yi went deep into this group of people, he got two clear conditions.

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces once again summoned more than a dozen central ministers to discuss.

"Queen Mother, more than 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers outside have put forward two conditions for Lord Su Yu."

"The first condition is that the Eight Banners Jing Battalion can be abolished, but at least half of the people must enter the new Imperial Army, and the positions of generals and officers cannot be reduced. Moreover, the newly trained Imperial Army will still be named the Eight Banners."

"The second condition is that the dismissed soldiers of the Eight Banners will be paid a one-time salary for five years."

"If Lord Su Yu doesn't agree, there will be another duel."

"But this time, either Lord Su Yu's new army will use the original old weapon, or the Eight Banners soldiers will use a brand new Lianzhu rifle."

Hehe, is this the condition of more than 10,000 soldiers, or the condition of you Manchu nobles.

It's just that it's not good for you to fight directly, so say it through more than 10,000 people.

Su Yu said slowly, "Queen Mother, have you seen it? As the minister said, once any reform starts to bargain, once it starts to back down, it will step back. Twelve points of strength, and in the end, only three points of strength."

"Prince Xuan, it was negotiated before, and the Nanyuan duel did not decide whether to abolish the Eight Banners Army. However, it decides one thing. That is, if my new army wins, then all the Eight Banners will be evacuated, unconditionally."

"Now three days have passed, and there are still more than 10,000 people surrounding the palace, and they still have to bargain."

"If you follow your words, according to your habits, after the real military reform, will it be the same way, changing the order day and night, step by step, step by step, step by step, step by step, step by step, step by step?"

Su Yu's voice was still very calm, and he left Sanxi Hall directly and came outside the palace.

He clearly saw that the soldiers of the Eight Banners with a sense of honor and shame had already left, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were all old fritters.

It's hard to change your ruffianism.

The ministers of the Eight Banners behind these are hoping that more than 10,000 people will surround the palace to put pressure on Su Yu and force Su Yu to compromise.

Military reform can be carried out, but according to their ideas.

The new Imperial Army is still mostly selected from the banner people, and after training, it is still named the Eight Banners.

Even for these Eight Banner ministers, they feel that this is already a huge compromise and concession, and they are forbearance for the country.

On the surface, that's perfectly fine.

But Su Yu can foresee that if such a new policy for military reform is really passed.

In the end, it must be a pot of raw rice, and in the end, what is practiced is still the four dislikes, and the old army is still in the bones.

…………………………

Outside the Royal Palace.

Looking at the black and black pressure in front of them, countless crowds.

Su Yu looked up at the sky, the scorching sun was scorching.

I tried desperately to avoid resorting to the most violent means, but I tried my best.

Sure enough, there are no bloodless reforms in this world.

Su Yu took an iron horn and was about to speak.

Suddenly, someone below shouted, "Lord Su Yu, what kind of skills are you relying on a new rifle? You give us these new rifles, and we'll have another fight?"

"yes, one more fight."

"One more fight."

"Lord Su Yu, if you want to completely abolish the Eight Banners, the new army will be named the Eight Banners, why can't you?"

"And say that you are not Dong Zhuo, and that you are not Cao Cao?"

"You licked the ditch of the Han people like this, and lost the face of our banner people, seeing that Zeng Guofan ignored you?"

Su Yu ignored these words and said slowly, "Give you two days, before twelve o'clock at noon the day after tomorrow, that is, when the sun is at its strongest."

"If you don't evacuate again, and you continue to besiege the palace, I will order a suppression."

"I'll give the order to shoot!"

"Don't be unpredictable!"

After Su Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Then, more than 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers outside the palace were completely blown up.

What? Want to shoot?

To suppress?

There are more than 10,000 of us, and you dare to kill us all?

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare, Su Yu doesn't dare."

"If he dared to shoot, he would have shot a long time ago, so why wait until now?"

"Without the will of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, without the will of the imperial court, if he dares to shoot, it is a rebellion."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, if he threatens him, he will say

Knowing that we are about to win, he wants to scare us away."

"Old and young masters, you can't be cowardly! The ancestors and the ancestors are looking at us in the sky, we are not for ourselves, we are for the sake of the Qing Dynasty."

"Yes, whoever coaxes it has no eggs, it's ***. Su Yu, a chaotic thief, wants to completely destroy the Eight Banners unless he steps on our corpses."

……………………

The entire capital suddenly fell into an aura of terror.

Everyone is paying attention to one thing, whether Su Yu's 6,000 new troops in Tianjin have entered Beijing.

Once he began to enter Beijing, he was afraid that his military suppression would be true.

These 6,000 people did not enter Beijing, so this military suppression is probably intimidation.

As a result, the flying pigeon in Tianjin passed the news that Su Liu's 6,000 new troops were still in the military station and did not enter Beijing.

The thoughts of many Eight Banner ministers were suddenly extremely complicated.

On the one hand, they were very afraid that Su Yu would really suppress it by force, and when the time came, there would be countless casualties, and the situation in the capital would fall into a very terrible situation.

On the other hand, they hoped that Su Yu would really suppress it.

In that way, Su Yu will completely stand on the opposite side of all the banner people.

Even if he wants to be Cao Cao in the future, no one will dare to follow him.

After the queen mother of the two palaces heard this, she immediately sent someone to summon Su Lu into the palace for an audience.

But Su Yu has already entered the barracks, saying that military affairs are in place, but please rest assured that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will completely solve the problem and lift the crisis of the palace being besieged within two days.

……………………

Minutes and seconds passed.

The most violent situation is getting closer.

The same is true at the Yangtze River estuary in Shanghai.

The combined fleet of foreigners and the Yangtze River fleet of Su Wei have been facing each other for more than two and a half months.

The risk of war is getting higher and higher.

Now, it has been more than two days since the month agreed by Su Yu and Bruus.

However, the order from the London side still did not come.

Minister Bruce already felt that he could not hold it anymore.

The French minister, the Russian minister, and the American minister persecuted him every day.

"Sir Bruce, you say every day that there will be a new order coming from London, and where is it? I have absolutely no belief that London will harm the majesty of the British Empire for the sake of Su Liu."

"You said you would give you a month, we have given more than a month, and now it has been more than a few days, and you still drag it back, your brother, Count Elgin, but there is no weakness at all for you."

"I really want to know what benefits Su Yu gave you in order to buy you, so that you did not hesitate to betray the interests of the British Empire." The Chief Collector of Revenue, Li Tai, said, "Your Excellency, if this is really the case, then we will be very disappointed. There's nothing wrong with pursuing personal gain, but if you harm the interests of the Empire, then London won't let you go."

Suddenly, the Russian minister said, "I tell you solemnly, Sir Bruce. We can't afford to delay any longer, so even without you, we, the American fleet, the French fleet, would still choose to open fire."

"This is a sacred treaty that has been signed, and our fleet must enter the Yangtze River."

Minister Bruce couldn't help but look at the French minister.

The French minister said, "If I continue to be weak, His Majesty the Emperor will not let me go."

Bruce looked at the American minister and said, "Your country is in a civil war, do you still want to ignite the war thousands of miles away?"

U.S. Minister John Warren said: "We are not fighting a civil war, we are fighting a rebellion. In addition, the position of the entire United States on the Qing side is completely consistent, and the domestic war will not affect our decision-making on the Qing side at all."

In the combined fleet, the Russian ships were the least, almost symbolic.

However, Russia's war spirit is the strongest.

Because Su Yu's position was clear to everyone, he wanted to deny the Aihui Treaty and not recognize the land that had been cut off.

Therefore, the Russians felt that they had to use the war to make Su Yu recognize the reality and teach him a hard lesson.

Not only do we want you to recognize the Qing-Russian Treaty of Beijing, but we also want to take the opportunity to take away more land from your Qing Kingdom.

To slap Su Yu in the face, incompetent toughness is useless, and it will only bring more humiliating consequences.

However, Russia was unwilling to launch a war against the Qing State alone, which would easily lead to strategic passivity, so he did everything possible to pull Britain, France, and the United States into the water.

Once the Yangtze River estuary was to be fought, the Russian army at Heilongjiang would continue to move south, and at the same time wage war against the Qing army's forces in the far north, taking away a larger area of land in the shortest possible time.

Five or six hundred thousand square kilometers will not satisfy their appetite at all.

At least one million square kilometers.

Therefore, the Russian minister has given a secret order, and tomorrow at noon, regardless of whether the minister of Bruce agrees or not, the Russian battleships will be the first to open fire.

Now the entire Yangtze River estuary is covered with battle clouds, and as long as there is a slight spark, it will explode.

So, as long as the Russian ships fire, then the war will break out.

…………………………

Nine a.m. the next day.

A flotilla of ships, slamming into everyone's field of vision, with the flag of the British Empire on it.

After more than a month of sailing, Bashali finally returned to Shanghai from London.

When the British minister Bruce saw it, he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's finally here.

If he doesn't come again, he really can't hold on.

Far away, Bashali stood on the bow of the boat, waving the flag desperately.

At the same time, the flag-bearers on the mast of the battleship also waved flags desperately.

"The queen has an order not to go to war!"

Bashali knew that the period of time when he appeared was the most dangerous moment, so he couldn't wait to meet and take out London's orders, and waved the flag from a long distance.

On the side of the Combined Fleet, many people were holding binoculars and saw the flags.

When the commander of the Russian ship saw this scene, he secretly exclaimed in his heart.

I don't know what deal Su Yu made with the British? Did you really wait for an order from London?

It can't be like this!

War must break out, and we must take the opportunity to drag several countries into the water.

I can't wait until twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

The commander of the Russian ship entered the most difficult choice, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Fire, fire, fire......

The officer next to him trembled and said, "Colonel, the time has not yet come, in the combined fleet, we are the weakest."

"Fire, fire!" The Russian commander said, "This is the last chance, open fire immediately and detonate the war!"

"Yes!"

With an order.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The Russian battleship opened fire directly.

The cannonball crossed an arc and roared towards the Yangtze River fleet.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

The commander of the Yangtze River fleet, Xu Youren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was slightly surprised.

This...... Is this war really about to break out?

Can the country afford such a war?

However, he quickly made his choice.

"All fleets, don't fight British ships, don't fight American ships, don't fight French ships!"

"Specialized in fighting Russian ships!"

"Fire, fire!"

With Xu Youren's order, several main warships of the Yangtze River Fleet aimed at the Russian warships in the combined fleet.

Fire hard!

…………………………

Meanwhile!

On the side of the capital, it has also entered the last moment.

Su Yu's 6,000 new troops in Tianjin never entered Beijing.

However, the 16,000 people of the Seven Southern Provinces Alliance led by Zhang Guoliang and Feng Zicai began to have the whole army

Alert.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Su Yao's 3,000 new troops marched towards the palace with neat steps.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Three thousand new troops appeared outside the palace.

Neatly arranged.

"Sit down!"

With an order, the three thousand new troops sat down in order.

Then, wait quietly.

The 17,800 people surrounding the palace were first frightened, and then they saw that the army sent by Su Yu was only 3,000 people.

If you want to suppress it, shouldn't you send more than 10,000 troops?

Next, some of the more than 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers began to curse angrily.

Su dragged 3,000 new troops and did not reply.

The more than 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers began to throw stones, and Su Luo's 3,000 new troops still did not react.

During the whole process, even Su Yu did not show up.

But the whole atmosphere is extremely suffocating.

Strangely, there was no more will coming out of the palace.

Just let the time pass.

Eleven a.m.

Of the more than 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers, some people finally couldn't bear this fear and began to run.

More and more people are running away.

The new army on Su Yao's side did not stop it, and still sat quietly.

At this time, it is still a time for the two sides to compete for will.

Many ministers of the Eight Banners, unwilling to make concessions in the military reform, continued to encourage these Eight Banners soldiers to sit in front of the palace.

They felt that once Su Yu opened fire, he would become the opposite of all the banner people. In the future, when you want to go further, it will be difficult.

But for Su Yao, this most violent method is not bad.

He will serve his country first and then himself. And in the future, he will ascend to the throne by relying on the prestige of the whole country, not your Manchu family and surname.

This most violent situation will lead to violent turmoil, but the road to reform can be more thorough.

The clock goes on.

It was twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and there were five minutes left.

At this time, there were only about 10,000 people in front of the palace, and the rest had fled.

But these 10,000 people are the most unscrupulous Eight Banner soldiers, and their minds are full of the words of those big people at this time, as well as the respectful teachings of the elders in the clan.

"Su Yu definitely didn't dare to fire, he has always pursued righteousness, if he fired, the righteousness he insisted on before would be completely ruined."

"Once he fires at the bannermen, who will support him in the future? For the sake of his political ambitions, he will never open fire."

"Once you persevere to the end, you will be the heroes of the Eight Banners, and each of you will be rewarded."

"Half of the settling-in allowance will be given first, and then the other half will be given after the matter is completed."

Five, four, three, two, one!

It's time!

Su Yu came forward and said slowly: "You are surrounding the palace, disturbing the queen mother of the two palaces, and disturbing the emperor, it is a great crime!"

"Fire!"

With Su Yao's order.

Three thousand new troops stood up directly and raised their rifles.

Fire hard!

It's still in line to be shot.

Three thousand new troops, three-stage shooting.

Keep moving forward, keep firing.

In the midst of incomparable horror, this group of last Eight Banner soldiers fell and died in rows.

Su Yu's 3,000 new troops directly crushed the past in this way, and they were indomitable.

In the open space in front of the entire palace, blood suddenly flowed into a river, and corpses were everywhere.
