Chapter 142, Eagle Weight Alliance

Although the war ended in victory on the side of the military and civilians in Guangzhou, the governor Ye Mingchen ordered that the Eagle Army in Humen should not be attacked again, and even the captured Eagle Army was sent to Humen for treatment.

There are also hundreds of captured Eagle Army, how can they keep it as a bargaining weight, but Ye Mingchen doesn't think so, he thinks that by sending back the captured Eagle Army, the Eagle people will be able to live in peace for the sake of his benevolence and righteousness. But they don't know that Westerners, who have always advocated colonial aggression, want profits, and benevolence, righteousness and peace are not as useful as toilet paper.

In the eyes of the people of Eagle Country, his approach is not benevolence and righteousness, not forgiving and forgiving, but weakness and bullying.

The captured soldiers were returned, even the artillery lost in the city of Canton was returned, and under the mediation of Wu Chongyao, the Eagle Army successfully returned to Hong Kong.

When the news of the "Yarrow Incident" reached the Eagle Country, the British big bourgeoisie rushed to make contacts, intending to wage a war of aggression, like a proposal for an extension of the war in Parliament. The parliament was still discussing the proposal, and the follow-up news came that Admiral Sima Migoli, who was stationed in Hong Kong, led a fleet to attack Guangzhou, although he once attacked the inner city of Guangzhou and burned the Yamen of the governor of Guangzhou, but because of the lack of troops, he lost nearly 500 officers and soldiers. Now, there is no need to discuss whether to send troops at all, but how many troops to send. As for Admiral Simamilio, having made such a mistake, naturally he could no longer stay in Hong Kong and dismissed him and recalled him to London.

Soon the parliament passed a proposal, appointing James Bruce as the plenipotentiary, leading a total of 7,000 troops from the army and navy to the Qing state, and at the same time sent a note to the three countries of Li, Mi, and Tsarist Russia, proposing to jointly send troops to force the Qing state to agree to amend the treaty and pay compensation. However, the internal political situation in the United States is unstable, and Tsarist Russia only wants to take advantage, so only the weight country cooperates with the troops.

In October of the 7th year of Xianfeng, the Eagle Army and the 1,000-strong army led by Gro, the plenipotentiary sent by the Weighty State, assembled in Hong Kong.

During this time, Li Shucheng did not do nothing, he knew that the people of the Eagle Country would definitely not give up if they suffered losses, not only purchased a batch of guns, but also trained tens of thousands of regiments. These group exercises were all organized by wealthy people in Guangzhou and several nearby counties. These regiments had low salaries and little training, and they were basically half-peasants and half-soldiers, but they finally learned to shoot, and when the Eagle Army came again, they also had some resistance.

After Wu San's subordinates sent news, Li Shucheng gathered several gang leaders and said: "The Eagle Kingdom has sent 7,000 people, and the Weight Country has sent 1,000 people, a total of 8,000 people, and soon the war will start again." This time the enemy's strength was eight times that of the last time, and this battle was not easy to fight, and Guangzhou would definitely not be able to hold it. We will first withdraw from the city, and then from time to time we will go into the city and shoot cold, preferably if we can lure the enemy out of the city by one or two hundred or two hundred. ”

On October 26, the Eagle Wing allied forces blockaded Guangzhou, and the next day, Bruce and Gro sent a note to Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, demanding that they enter the city to "revise the treaty" and "compensate for losses". He also threatened to order the navy and army to attack Guangzhou if he did not allow it.

However, Ye Mingchen neither replied nor prepared, it was exactly the same as the last time. Several generals asked for the transfer of troops to defend and convened the regiments in Guangzhou to practice self-defense, but Ye Mingchen refused. Not only that, but he immediately dismantled the naval division, and more than half of the more than 10,000 army forces were also disbanded for regimental training.

"At this time, Ye Mingchen also dismantled the army and disbanded the regimental training, could it be that he cultivated the Sunflower Treasure Book!" Li Shucheng scolded.

However, what else can be done except to be angry with him? I can only let a few gangs send people to various townships to recruit groups to practice, and they are ready to beat him up when they have the opportunity.

And Ye Mingchen's next move made people laugh and cry, on the eleventh day of the winter month, Bruce and Gro issued an ultimatum, Ye Mingchen actually ordered someone to set up a sand table and personally help him, and Lu Dongbin "will be fine in 15 days", he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and waited for Lu Zu's words to come true.

Of course, it can be fulfilled, the Eagle Weight Coalition Army has 8,000 people, and the weapons and equipment are excellent, while Guangzhou is only defended by 3,000 or 4,000 people, and it will not take 15 days at all, and it will be fine in two or three days, but then he will become a prisoner.

On the thirteenth day of the winter month, early in the morning, most of the Yingli coalition troops landed, occupied the Haizhu Fort, and opened artillery to attack the city. Shops and houses in the city were set on fire.

"Dao Chief, when are we going to do it?" Wu San asked, "It's so uncomfortable to watch the red-haired ghost bombard the city. ”

"I have to hold back when I feel uncomfortable. Li Shucheng said, "At this time, the Eagle Weight army is near the fort, and we are looking for death when we fight it." Wait for them to attack Guangzhou, and then we will act. According to the previous discussion, each of you will take a team and follow the red-haired ghost to fight black guns, and I will take a team to see if there is a chance to sink a few ships. ”

After the shelling stopped, the infantry of the Eagle Weight Coalition Army began to charge, and Wu San and the others also took action, and several pairs of men and horses ran away with cold shots, not carrying the Eagle Weight Coalition Army at all.

Although the Eagle Weight Coalition did not lose a few people, it felt that its majesty was provoked and sent dozens of people to pursue.

"It's coming, it's coming!" said the dwarf tiger lying in the grass, "Lao Tzu didn't give the order, he wasn't allowed to shoot, did you hear it? If anyone dared to shoot in advance to expose the ambush, Lao Tzu would cut off his skull and throw it to the dogs." ”

After the pursuing eagle army entered the ambush circle, the dwarf tiger "hit", the gunfire rang out with a bang, and the other people who threw the earth bomb also lit the fuse and threw it out, and the eagle army in the ambush circle fell down one after another, and the rest hurriedly climbed down to shoot, but where could they have thought that they would fall into an ambush, panicked at the center of the explosion of the earth bomb, the accuracy was greatly reduced, and they were pressed and beaten at the beginning.

Seeing that there were more and more casualties, the Eagle Army hurriedly broke through, but was chased and beaten in the ass, and fled back to the large army, with less than a third of the dozens of people left.

Li Shucheng took a dozen or so young people with good water skills to quietly touch the shore and observe for a while, and then said: "They are well guarded, there is no chance! Forget it, let's go back and shoot cold, and wait for the evening." ”

At the end of the day, although less than 100 people were killed and injured by the cold gun, they couldn't do anything about the Eagle Weight Alliance, if there were fewer people, they would be ambushed, and if there were more people, they were not afraid of ambushes, but they were not directly opposite you.

Late at night, Li Shucheng led people to the shore, seized the opportunity to sneak over, and finally found an opportunity to climb onto a small boat and kill the guards on the boat, but he didn't find the explosives and shells that could blow up the ship, so he had no choice but to dismantle what could be demolished and throw it into the river, and then retreat.

The next day, Bruce and Gro received the news that all the guards on the boat had been killed, and after discussing it, the two decided to strengthen the guards and break through the city as soon as possible.

After that, the Eagle Weight coalition began to attack the city with all its might, and after a fierce battle, the city of Guangzhou was breached, and the governor Bai Gui and the general Mukhd surrendered. Although Ye Mingchen was in hiding everywhere, he was captured a few days later and then taken to Hong Kong.

The gang contacted by Li Shucheng has been shooting cold shots outside, although it has been delayed for a day, but it can't stop the city of Guangzhou from breaking.

After the Eagle Weight coalition army broke through Guangzhou, they burned, killed and looted, and they also entered the city through the tunnels dug before to shoot black guns, but they were all small fights.

However, the black guns also killed many Eagle soldiers, and Bruce and Gro learned that after entering the city, the soldiers were killed and wounded, and the organization of revenge could not find the enemy, but instead provoked public anger because of the massacre of civilians, resulting in more casualties among the soldiers. They decided to restrain the soldiers, and appointed the Eagle Nation Pasha Li, Harowe and the Weight Nation Xiulai to form a "coalition committee" to support the surrendered Bai Gui to continue to serve as the governor, and Bai Gui became the puppet of the Eagle Weight in order to continue to serve as the governor.

This trick is very effective, ordinary people don't care who is in power, as long as they can survive. Soon the city of Guangzhou settled down, and the people did what they should do, not knowing that Guangzhou was no longer the Guangzhou it used to be.

"Guangzhou is like this, I can't fight, and I'm leaving. Li Shucheng said to Wu San, "You should also pay attention, beware of the revenge of foreign devils, now Bai Gui and these people have become puppets of foreign devils." You'd better leave Guangzhou for a while and go farther. ”

Soon after Li Shucheng left, Wu San and a few people discussed, decided to go out to hide first, and soon disappeared, Bai Gui as an eagle puppet, no longer has much power, under the command of the coalition committee, stabilized the people of Guangzhou City, and then in the name of suppressing bandits, sent troops to encircle and suppress Wu San and others, but Wu San and others have long disappeared without a trace.

In March of the eighth year of Xianfeng, Bruce and Gro led 26 large and small ships of the LinkedIn and French coalition forces, with more than 2,000 officers and men, from Hong Kong to the north, intending to meet representatives of the United States and Russia to negotiate with the Qing court.

When the fleet went to the East China Sea, Li Shucheng used the space to pump seawater under the fleet, and the seawater below the fleet disappeared instantly, and the nearby seawater rushed over, forming a huge whirlpool, and most of the twenty-six search ships sank, and most of the soldiers on it were drowned.

"Just help this one again, I hope the Qing court will be less blackmailed. After leaving, Li Shucheng sighed.

"Since they are afraid of foreigners, they may be blackmailed even more. Jiang Mingyue said.

No matter how much it is, it can't be much, think about the history books of the previous life, it was clearly written that the devil was compensated for 200 million taels of silver, compared to this, this is simply a drizzle!" "Well, during the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, there is a chance to get a good look at the devil navy, and it is best to sink all their warships." Li Shucheng thought to himself.

"Forget it, they won't be awake if they don't feel the pain in their skin. Li Shucheng said, "If it is not broken, it will not stand, and it will stand after it is broken." If you don't change, you can only be slaughtered by others, and you can only lag behind forever. "The Westernization Movement that started later was started because of the gap, but the Qing Dynasty was already full of holes, and a few pasters did not stop the decline of the Qing Dynasty in the end.
