Chapter 52: The Eight-Nation Alliance

"The 100 million taels of silver, how much did you pay in Japan, and how much did the Qing court pay?"

"We Japan paid 20 million taels, and the Qing court paid 80 million taels. ”

"The Qing court is still as stupid as ever. He Xuan chuckled: "For the sake of your life, it is only a few years, I won't kill you this time." Bye. But you should be able to see me again. ”

"Oh?" Gui Kogoro waited for He Xuan's next words.

"When I defeat the Western countries, I will destroy you Japan. ”

Hearing this, Gui Xiaogoro's face changed slightly, but he still smiled calmly: "Then I am here, wishing Your Majesty that you can defeat the coalition forces of the Western countries." ”

"Of course. He Xuanchang smiled and strode out of Tokyo City.

Katsura Kogoro was left behind, standing alone in place.

His expression was a little bitter.

He could feel He Xuan's confidence in that sentence.

Could it be that He Xuan is really possible to defeat the coalition forces of many Western countries?

But, this can't be, right?

That's the strongest force in the world!

......

At this time, because the Qing court and Japan paid 100 million taels of silver together. The Western countries have already decided to send troops.

U.S. Minister.

British Minister.

Minister of France.

German Minister.

Minister of Austria.

Minister of Italy.

Minister of Russia.

The ministers of Spain, the ministers of the eight countries, gathered together.

"We can send troops. This time, the target is the Taiping Army on Duwan Island. British Minister Henry said with a cruel smile: "Back then, on Duwan Island, the young king of the Taiping Army didn't give me face. I endured it until now, resisting the urge to trample this ant to death. Now, I can finally take revenge for more than half a year ago. ”

"Since we have decided to send troops, we must also know who we are. The German minister Hasenhao smoked a cigar: "The army above the Taiping army has a total of about 50,000. It is impossible for this part of the army not to take into account. ”

U.S. Minister Joningham shook his head: "Their 50,000 troops have combat effectiveness like that. It's not much elite, what you really need to pay attention to is the young king of the Taiping Army. It turned out that it was said that he killed all sides by himself, and the bullets were invulnerable, and the Qing court was defeated, and we thought it was a joke. But looking at it now, Japan should also have tens of thousands of troops, and he rushed in alone to kill them. ”

"Finally, ask for help. This person should have some skills. ”

The Austrian minister sneered: "I have also heard of this person, it is said that he claims to be the Holy Father, the Holy Son is two-in-one, and he claims to be a god. What a heresy! Heresy should be damned. ”

"It is said that he can stop the generation of muskets that we have eliminated. The Russian minister drank vodka and said: "This person still has some meaning, go directly to the machine gun, if you don't use the machine gun, you may not be able to kill him." ”

"Okay. On the machine gun. Let's do the math. How many people can be. ”

"I can give 10,000 people in the UK. British Minister Henry said.

Several other people couldn't help but glance at the British minister in surprise. It seems that this one is really going to fight with the young king of the Taiping Army.

Of course, the British are also good at moving troops, and they have quite a few troops in India. India is not far from China.

"We can send 10,000 people in Russia. The Russian minister also said that there were more Russians than people, and they were the most Russians. Moreover, Russia itself has troops stationed in the Far East, and the transfer is quite close.

"We can only send 3,000 people to Germany. ”

"We can only send 3,000 people from Austria. ”

"We can only send 3,000 people out of Italy. ”

"We can only send 3,000 people from Spain. ”

"We can afford 4,000 people in France. ”

"We in the United States can only send 4,000 people. "These six countries are all quite far away from China. So after calculation, there are not many people who can come out, that is, three or four thousand. Anyway, six countries can produce a total of 20,000 people.

In this way, a total of 40,000 troops can be produced.

However, enough is enough for so many people.

These eight countries are the top countries in the world!

Far from the current Qing court, or comparable to Japan.

Such 40,000 people, with the most sophisticated machine guns, can push the world sideways.

The Qing court or something, you can easily put it down.

After the ministers of the eight countries finished discussing, they directly began to ask for orders to transfer troops in all directions. And with 100 million silver as a huge military expenditure, the armies of these capitalist countries are also coming quite quickly.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of it.

These troops did not directly land in Dull Bay.

Instead, we will meet at Ningbo Port.

These ships cover the sky and the sun.

......

And this news is also spreading rapidly in all directions.

For example, the Qing court.

Morning towards the top.

"Now, the coalition forces of the eight Western countries are already in the port of Ningbo. Ningbo Port is quite close to Duwan Island, and I am afraid that within a few days, you can rush all the way to Duwan Island by the ocean. The benefits of firearms in Western countries are far from what we can imagine. Within a few days, the Taiping army will be destroyed, and the young king of the Taiping army, this false god, will be beheaded. Li Hongzhang stood on top of the hall and said with a little pride.

The original boss, Zeng Guofan, lost power because of Zeng Guoquan's incident.

Now, Li Hongzhang is the big man among the courtiers.

And, look, how beautiful he shot for the first time.

spent 80 million taels to get the help of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

That's right, 80 million taels is expensive.

However, as long as the Taiping army is destroyed, the young king of the Taiping army will be ambushed, and the world will be decided, and he will soon earn it back.

And the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was sitting behind the bead curtain, sneered: "The pseudo-gods, the Taiping Army, and the young kings dare to go against the mourning family." Immediately, it was his end of life. ”

"When the Taiping army is pacified, the world will be stable. It's a pity that the treasury is empty. The Empress Dowager Cixi sighed, she originally wanted to build a huge garden that cost tens of millions of taels of silver, but now she can only postpone it.

......

And the forces in the rivers and lakes, the White Lotus Sect, the Little Knife Society, and the Heaven and Earth Society, all heard the news that the Western Eight-Nation Alliance Army was assembled in Ningbo Port. It is said that there were 40,000 people, armed with the most sophisticated weapons of Western firearms, and went straight to the island.

So everyone who heard the news couldn't help but change their faces.

The Qing court, although difficult to deal with, has already shown signs of weakness. In particular, the Taiping Rebellion showed the weakness of the Qing court, and now it is completely supported by the Hunan army and the Huai army.

However, Western countries are completely different, and they are the best countries in the world. Their combination is terrifying just to think about.

The 50,000 troops of the Taiping Army will definitely not be able to stop the Western Eight-Nation Alliance.

Even if it is the Young Heavenly King, it is claimed that King Kong is not bad, and the bullet is not injured, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to withstand the attack of the Western Eight-Nation Alliance.

The Taiping Army, to finish.
