Chapter 448: Tianjing Rebellion (Subscription Requested)

Yang Tianming, the original Holy Son of the Demon Sect, advised Yang Xiuqing many times, but the high-level leaders of the Demon Sect were intoxicated by the victories over this period of time, and only treated Yang Tianming as a rising star, regardless of the fact that before the Demon Sect raised troops, he relied on Yang Tianming to provide all kinds of guns and artillery, and also helped train officers who knew modern warfare.

Yang Tianming vigorously helped the Demon Sect to raise troops, and the Demon Sect Leader and the Four Dharma Kings originally allowed Yang Tianming to be the next generation of Sect Leaders, but these people were all well-cultivated innate masters, and they were only about fifty or sixty years old at this time, and it was impossible for them, the senior leaders of the older generation to step down and vacate their seats.

At this time, these high-level people didn't even have to find an excuse to fool Yang Tianming, they only said that after their death, they would definitely let Yang Tianming be the sect leader according to their promises, and directly blocked all Yang Tianming's words.

In a fit of anger, Yang Tianming created the Condor Sect by himself and appointed himself as the sect leader, which made some melon-eating sects laugh for a while.

By 1850, the fighting between the rebel forces in the south of the Yangtze River and the Qing court in the north of the Yangtze River had calmed down a lot, and the rebels tried to digest the occupied territory in the south and reorganize the relationship between them.

In 1851, however, a major event occurred, when Britain and France, far away in Europe, formed a powerful combined fleet and reached the waters of China to raise the banner of solidarity with the Qing court, the orthodox dynasty.

In fact, the British wanted to interfere with the Chinese revolution at the beginning of the Northern Expedition of the Mixed Yuan Sect.

It's just that the distance between Britain and China is too far, and by the time the news of Li Xian's troops reached Britain, it was already a year later, and the Mixed Yuan Sect had already occupied Dayuan Island, and Sanyuanguan had also defeated the Qing army attacking from three directions.

When Li Xian sent troops to occupy Hangzhou, the British also wanted to send a fleet to take advantage, even if they could not defeat the Huaxia army, it would be good to sign some unequal treaties with the Qing court or the Huaxia army at the moment of the other party's civil war.

However, Li Xian's naval strength when he annihilated the Fujian Navy Division was somewhat beyond the expectations of the British, and it was estimated that at least 50 warships would have to be sent to ensure victory in the battle, and the British Parliament was a little hesitant, and when it was decided to send troops and gather a large number of warships from all over the country, Li Xian's side had already occupied Hangzhou and expanded its army on a large scale, so that the parliament had to continue to dispatch troops.

After this series of changes, the British Parliament suddenly woke up and knew that Britain alone could not eat China, so it encouraged the French to send troops together, and finally formed a super luxury army with the world's most powerful navy and the most powerful army and sent it to China.

However, in this way, the arrival of the Anglo-French forces in the waters of China was already a matter of 1851.

The Huaxia League originally had the intention of launching a northern expedition to the Qing court in 1851, but at this time it could only turn its guns and deal with the unexpected European bandits first.

As a result, Li Xian gave the navy a death order that was criticized by later generations, that is, "it must not fight head-on and insist on harassing its logistics fleet."

The original direction of the navy's construction was "not necessarily able to beat the other side, but it must be able to escape", and most of the warships used were fast light cruisers, and after repeated breakthroughs in shipbuilding technology, a large number of steam warships were also introduced, and it was more than enough to carry out rear and flank harassment tasks.

However, for the young people of later generations who are conceited and invincible, this way of fighting is too conservative and not enjoyable.

In short, the battle between the Huaxia Army and the Anglo-French coalition lasted for more than a year, and the Anglo-French coalition was strong, but it was slow to find the main naval force of the Huaxia Army to do a decisive battle.

Later, he sent troops to land and attack, and successively launched attacks in the occupied areas of the Huaxia Army in Hainan Island, Guangdong, Fujian, Dayuan Island, and Zhejiang.

The naval strength of the Huaxia Army was very poor, but the level of the army was very high, although because the British and French forces had sea supremacy, it was difficult to concentrate superior forces, and still fought several classic battles, so that the always proud Gallic chicken understood that the years of France's supremacy on land under the command of His Majesty the Emperor were gone.

In the end, the Anglo-French alliance entered the Bohai Sea and tried to unite with the Qing court to destroy the rebels or something.

However, this time it really touched the rebels, and the people in the north were extremely opposed to uniting foreigners to exterminate the rebels.

The navy of the Huaxia Army, which had always been mainly engaged in sneak attacks, began to take the initiative to attack at this time, and all foreign ships that were lone were among the attackers.

In the end, the logistical pressure of the British and French forces was really huge, and after a period of contact, it finally became clear that the Qing court was willing to cooperate sincerely with the British and French forces, and it would have no substantial impact on the overall unification of China, but could lead to the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers, and in the end they could only leave.

However, the British and French forces extorted a large number of cultural relics and money from the Qing court before leaving, and before leaving, they also went to Japan to open its port and break the situation of hundreds of years of isolation and isolation.

In the end, Britain and France signed a simple trade cooperation agreement with the Huaxia Army, advocating trade freedom, talking about the future Asian pattern, etc., and then went away.

There are many people in the Huaxia Army who want Britain and France to pay war reparations, but high-level people know that Britain and France have even taken out several propeller steamships of more than 4,000 tons, and the Huaxia Army has barely built a 1,000-ton steamship, and the difference in shipbuilding technology is too great.

However, the Huaxia Army was not without gains, considering that the strength of the Huaxia Army was extremely large, and it was already faintly above the British Army, even the French Army was probably inferior, and the Huaxia Army actually controlled all the routes and ports for foreigners to do business in China, the British finally changed their tunes on the opium trade, recognized the legitimacy of the Huaxia Army's anti-smoking activities, and promised to abide by the laws of the Huaxia Army and no longer sell opium to China.

The Huaxia army spent a whole year dealing with the British and French bandits, and the Taiping army occupied mainly inland areas, but they did not suffer any impact, so they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to expand aggressively.

It is a pity that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself is also full of internal contradictions, and the Hunan army has gradually matured in the war in recent years, and has obtained a large number of modern firearms sold to the Qing court by the British and French forces, and has resisted the attack of the Taiping army, and has fought many decent battles.

After the time entered 1852, there was a big event, that is, there was a serious internal conflict within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and there was serious internal strife in Nanjing, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the Eastern France, was besieged to death by a number of demon masters, and the entire Nanjing sky changed, known as the "Tianjing Incident" in history.
