Shen Ye led the Taiping army into Beijing, destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty's seven hateful formations, killed Cixi and Xianfeng, and then slaughtered the royal family by thunderous means, not only countless ordinary people and wealthy families in the capital set off waves, but even the embassies of various countries in the capital were blown up.

In the middle of the night, Mike, as the British Embassy, led an emergency meeting.

The ambassadors of the embassies of Japan, Russia, the United States, France, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Italy were also present, and the scene was chaotic.

"Everybody be quiet. ”

At this moment, Mike spoke steadily, and everyone suddenly fell silent.

At this time, the ambassador of the German embassy couldn't help but say: "How can this be good, the Manchu Qing was overthrown?"

How could they not be in a hurry when the eight great countries originally supported the Manchus, but now a Taiping army that had successfully rebelled suddenly appeared?

"Yes, if you want to exterminate the Taiping Army at the beginning, all the countries present have the power to do it, but now that they have gained power, what should we do?" said the Italian ambassador with a frown.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was even more puzzled and said: "Speaking of which, it's really strange, the Taiping Army originally didn't have such combat effectiveness, but since the appearance of the young king Hong Tiangui, it actually showed such amazing combat effectiveness, mainly Hong Tiangui, this person is the key person." ”

"Yes, this young king named Hong Tiangui didn't have this kind of strength before, but before he actually showed the strength to kill Cixi, God, this is incredible!"

"Although we don't know why Hong Tiangui suddenly became so strong, the truth is in front of us. Mike pulled the conversation back and said calmly, "Anyway, it's time to re-examine this new rising power." ”

"If you want me to say, this Taiping army is not easy to control, not to mention that we had a grudge against them before, even if they don't mind, I guess they don't want us to control them?" ”

"Yes, I heard that Hong Tiangui directly said that the Han people restored their rule and let the Manchus get out of the Guanwai, if he really said that, then there is no reason for our Western countries to still puppet rule them. ”

The ambassador of the Austro-Hungarian Empire also shook his head and said, without the benefit of controlling the Taiping Army, how could they support the Taiping Army.

"In this way, everyone still supports the Manchus, but they don't want to support the Taiping Army, right?" Mike summed up everyone's opinions, "Those who support the Manchus, raise your hands and take a look." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ambassadors on the scene all glanced at each other, and immediately raised their hands, Mike glanced around, and raised his hands himself, and suddenly everyone raised their hands.

"Well, I also think that controlling the Manchu Qing has more benefits, especially the current Manchu Qing, which has almost become an empty shelf, if it can be returned to our hands again, it will definitely be better to control than before. ”

Mike said calmly, "But if we want the Manchus to regain control of the country, we have to discuss how to deal with the Taiping army." ”

"If you want the Manchus to regain control of the country, you have to let the Taiping army withdraw from the capital. The French ambassador said in a resolute tone.

Mike asked, "How do you get them out of the capital?"

The German ambassador snorted coldly and said: "Are we still afraid of the Taiping army that has risen in its recklessness? If we can enslave the Manchu puppets and let them provide us with benefits, we will naturally be able to conquer this Taiping army." ”

"Yes, if it is a master of one country to deal with the Taiping Army, it may be a little difficult, but we are an eight-nation alliance, if we fight together, let alone the Taiping Army, and another Taiping Army is not our opponent."

Austria-Hungary suddenly said with confidence, with the cooperation of the eight countries, he suddenly did not panic, but was replaced by self-confidence, confident that he could defeat the Taiping Army and Hong Tiangui.

Seeing that everyone's opinions were unanimous, Mike immediately slapped the table and said, "Okay! In that case, then we will sign an agreement to let the Taiping army withdraw from the capital at a later date, and if they don't agree, we will fight it!"

As he spoke, Mike took out a prepared agreement and took the lead in signing his name, and when the other ambassadors saw this, they took it one after another, and after a few strokes, they signed their names.

......

At this time, Shen Ye was in the palace.

After the Taiping army purged the royal family, it was already stationed in the entire palace.

And at this moment, Li Yucheng suddenly hurried in and said loudly to Shen Ye: "Young Heavenly King, something is wrong!"

"What's the matter?" Shen Ye asked indifferently, even Cixi and Xianfeng were killed, what other big thing could be bad?

Li Yucheng hurriedly stepped forward, handed an envelope to Shen Ye, and said: "Young Heavenly King, this is a letter from the embassy, which contains the signatures of the embassies of Japan, Russia, the United States, France, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom at the same time!"

These eight countries can be said to be the eight most powerful countries at that time, and each of them is not so easy to negotiate, and now they are sending out an envelope at the same time, which is naturally shocking, and even a little worried.

"Japan, Russia, United States, France, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Italy, Britain?" Shen Ye opened the envelope and saw that the content was probably to lead the Taiping army out of the capital and return the country to the Manchus.

After Shen Ye finished reading it, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face: "Eight countries, it just happens to be the Eight Kingdoms, the Eight-Nation Alliance, it happens to be you, if it were someone else, or Cixi and Xianfeng, maybe they would be willing to surrender to you, but unfortunately, the current capital is not controlled by them, but by me, what is your Eight-Nation Alliance?"

"Young Heavenly King, what's wrong with them?"

Li Yucheng asked worriedly, among the eight countries, every country is not easy to mess with, especially now that the eight countries are united, even if the Taiping Army occupies the capital, if there is no support from the Eight-Nation Alliance, I am afraid it will be difficult to stabilize the country.

At this time, a general hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Why don't we go and get in touch with them and ask them not to let us leave the capital?"

"You're begging for mercy. Li Yucheng frowned and said, needless to say, the Young Heavenly King will definitely not agree to this way of seeking peace.

Sure enough, in the shocked eyes of the generals who gasped, Shen Ye said indifferently: "When will they foreigners be able to meddle in our affairs?
