Part Two Chapter Thirty-Seven (2)

"Pongting, get on the boat quickly." Yang Yi called Nie Shicheng loudly on the boat. Nie Shicheng still looked in the direction of Beijing unwillingly, then spitted, and then slowly got on the boat.

Yang Yi asked the new army to concentrate all the ships they could collect on this sea surface. Based on the captured more than 30 warships of the British and French coalition forces, a huge fleet of more than 60 ships of other large and small ships carried more than 30,000 new army members slowly advancing to the distance of the sea.

Seeing the land getting farther and farther away from him, Nie Shicheng couldn't help feeling depressed. Beijing Cheng, who was within his reach a few days ago, slipped away from his nose like this. He had never even entered the city. He just looked at the dilapidated city wall outside the city. Yang Yi ordered the troops to go south and get on the boat. Even the large number of ammunition ships transported from Shanghai a few days ago were not unloaded, and they followed the fleet and drove back to the sea.

The original "Prince of Wales" battleship has now been renamed "Dingyuan". On the wide plyboard, Yang Yi and Zhang Jian surrounded a table. Looking at a map, Nie Shicheng walked to the table and looked at it.

"Gongting, come and take a look." Yang Yi called Nie Shicheng to sit down. Seeing Nie Shicheng's depressed look, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile, "What? Can't figure it out, right?" Nie Shicheng, who was told about the central matter, smiled embarrassedly, but nodded surely. Zhang Jian showed his usual sinister smile and said, "Gongting, come and take a look." As Zhang Jian pointed his finger to a position on the map, Nie Shicheng looked over with Zhang Jian's finger. The three words "Shanhaiguan" on the map made Nie Shicheng's heart excited.

After jumping, Nie Shicheng looked at Zhang Jian in disbelief. Seeing Zhang Jian smiling with a certain smile, Nie Shicheng was still worried. He turned to look at Yang Yi, and Yang Yi nodded with affirmative smile. Nie Shicheng happily slapped the table and grinned and said, "Damn it, you're having a big time now." However, Nie Shicheng quickly calmed down and stared at the map for a long time and said, "Sir, are we too sinister like this? Since we are fighting, we can do it directly in Tongzhou, and why are we going to negotiate with the Japanese Six?"

Yang Yi and Zhang Jian looked at each other and showed a signature-like smile at Nie Shicheng, which made Nie Shicheng feel relieved. Finally, Yang Yi came to explain Nie Shicheng's doubts.

"Pongting, after capturing Tongzhou, we can attack Beijing immediately, but our ammunition reserves are insufficient, so we can only capture Beijing, and it is impossible to fight continuously." Yang Yi looked at Zhang Jian and signaled him to continue. Zhang Jian smiled and took the conversation and said, "The direct attack on Beijing may turn into a pursuit battle. The emperor of Beijing will definitely run away. Once the emperor runs back to the northeast, the battle will be exhausted." Nie Shicheng finally realized this and slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, we were ambulanced at that time."

If there is not much medicine and it is impossible to fight continuously, the dog emperor will have time to prepare." Yang Yi continued to add: "This is not the most critical. The northeast is connected to Russia, and Russia has coveted our country's northeast for a long time. If the emperor is anxious to jump into the wall and colludes with Russia and asks Russia to send troops to interfere in this battle, it is possible to fall into a protracted war. If we fight foreigners in Tianjin, the foreigners will definitely refuse to give up and will make a comeback. We don't have time to waste time with the dog emperor at home. We must resolve the domestic war before the European powers fight."

"Yes, if we want to go down Shanhaiguan, we can catch turtles in the jar. Then the Japanese Six are the same?" Nie Shicheng looked at Yang Yi, and Yang Yi immediately showed an innocent expression and said, "Don't look at me, this idea was not what I thought of." Nie Shicheng looked at Zhang Jian again, and Zhang Jian said with an incomprehensible expression: "I said, sir, you don't want me to take the blame, right?" A cold wind suddenly blew from the vast sea, and Nie Shicheng couldn't help but shiver-

The new army came to the city of Beijing like a tide and left quietly like a tide. Beijing Chacheng seemed to have returned to its former atmosphere. A story about Prince Gong's righteousness and quietly entering Tongzhou alone. He persuaded the leader of the new army Yang Yi in a few words and made him realize his mistakes and voluntarily retreated in the streets and alleys of Beijing. As the spread of this story expanded, various versions began to appear. The Sixth Prince went to the meeting alone to angrily scold Yang Yi, and Yang Yi knelt in shame in front of the Sixth Prince, swearing to be loyal to the court forever. In short, the more he spread the word, he was blew the Japanese sixth prince, which was tall and mighty and wise, and even the old man who picked horse manure on the street knew that there was a very capable Sixth Prince in Beijing.

As for the 100,000 Qing army prisoners in Tongzhou City, except for those generals who had black money from Yang Yi, everyone was in a state of panic. They were escorted by the Xin army all day long to do voluntary labor. They could not be lazy. They were discovered at all. A meal was a trivial matter, and they had no food that day. These Qing army had never suffered such hardships, and they could only endure it. Who knew that when they woke up that day, the Xin army who supervised labor on weekdays disappeared. The great Sixth Prince appeared in front of them. Yi Xin suddenly became the savior in the soldiers' minds.

Yi Xin sat upright in the study, listening to Master Zhou’s report. Perhaps it was very smooth recently, Master Zhou looked proud. After the new army retreated, Yi Xin’s subordinates successfully took over the territory left by the new army. The 100,000 troops in Tongzhou were also completely controlled by Yi Xin. However, when he was taking the condom of Shengbao, Master Zhou’s voice suddenly became smaller, and the people were approaching Yi Xin before he said, “Your Majesty, Shengbao can only be handled like this. Shengbao has always had close relationships with the people in the Military Affairs Office, so the villain…” Master Zhou said and wiped his neck. After hearing this, Yi Xin leaned his head slightly back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, “That’s all.”

Emperor Xianfeng, who was far away in Chengde, could hardly believe his eyes after receiving Yi Xin's report. Yi Xin, who has always regarded him as a thorn in his eyes, did have some tricks and actually said that he had retreated from Yang Yi and his new army. It seems that he should be more careful about Yi Xin in the future. If Yi Xin knew what Xianfeng thought, he would be even more grateful for his choice.

Yi Xin said in the report: Yang Yiben had no intention of rebelling, because Shengbao was the key to Yang Yi, and Yang Yicai fought back. Under Yi Xin's heartfelt persuasion, Yang Yi was shaken. Then Yi was moved with emotion and explained his righteousness. Yang Yicai suddenly realized that he had the trust of the emperor and voluntarily agreed to withdraw his troops. He also said that he wanted the emperor to apologize when he entered Beijing at the right time. Before leaving, Yang Yi still pulled Yi Xin's sleeve and cried bitterly, hoping that Yi Xin would help him speak in front of the emperor.

After reading Yi Xin's memorial, Xianfeng felt extremely depressed. Such a thing that was so popular was actually snatched by Yi Xin. He had long suspected that Yang Yi had no intention of rebelling. It was all the useless ministers in the court who repeatedly slandered and slandered loyal ministers. He made him wrong judgments. He had known that he should have stayed in Beijing. Although it was impossible to be as glorious as the Japanese devils, it would not be so cheap. Xianfeng stared at the memorial, his face became increasingly ugly, and the ministers below also noticed it.

When Xianfeng was in a low mood, he didn't dare to show the excitement caused by the dangers in Beijing. Several ministers who had said bad things about Yang Yi secretly looked up at Xianfeng on the dragon throne and found that Xianfeng was glaring at him with cold eyes, and his head was so scared that he was shrunk backwards under Xianfeng's gaze, for fear that he would be beaten by the angry vanguard, and they were all worried that the emperor would settle the score.

Although Xianfeng also wanted to deal with all the guys who were disturbing his tongue, the more urgent thing at the moment was to return to Beijing. As the emperor of the lord of a country, Xianfeng was eager to return to Beijing than ever.

To briefly explain the matter of returning to Beijing, Xianfeng ended his meeting with the ministers. At this time, Xianfeng felt unprecedented fatigue and urgently needed a place to relax himself. So Xianfeng chose to come to the room of his favorite concubine, Concubine Lan.

Although it was during the day, Xianfeng still stripped all his favorite Lan'er, and then vented his dissatisfaction with the ministers and his jealousy towards Yi Xin to this beautiful body. The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace all tactfully escaped far away. However, the current experience of Concubine Lan, who was honored by her mother, is extremely jealous of many beauties in the harem. Even the "happy, oh, oh" sound made by Concubine Lan is the root of jealousy of other women. Xianfeng likes Concubine Lan, the most important of which

The important thing is that Concubine Lan can moan. Chinese women have been educated since childhood to be subtle, including in bed, not to mention those who are selected into the harem. Most of them are like wood on the bed, and Concubine Lan, who is naturally strong, also wants to take the initiative on the curtain bed and often ride on Xianfeng. This made Xianfeng very interested and made Concubine Lan firmly grasp Xianfeng's heart on the bed. (No inspiration, it was very hard to write. Lao Jiu and the others asked me to write something to deal with it.)

"Your Majesty, you are so awesome today." Concubine Lan, who was satisfied, lay lazily on Xianfeng. If she had changed to another woman, she would never dare to lie on the emperor. This would be a crime. But Concubine Lan did not take this trick, so how could she do it? However, the smart Concubine Lan should have discovered the difference between Emperor Xianfeng and the past, especially the terrifying eyes, as if she was going to swallow herself into her stomach. This was the first time Concubine Lan discovered that Xianfeng's gaze was so terrible-

The news of the failure of the coalition forces finally came back to Britain and France. The British government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the Prime Minister immediately convened a meeting of the two houses to discuss how to correspond to the war.

"Shame!!, shame! This is a shame that the British Empire would absolutely not accept, and it would attack the barbarians of the East." The tone of parliament A was almost roaring.

"This gentleman, don't be impulsive. Remember, we are gentlemen, and gentlemen must always maintain a calm and elegant demeanor." Member B first advised Member A in a calm tone. After listening to Member B's words, other members also praised the demeanor he showed and applauded, but Member B's next words surprised everyone.

"Yes, we must calm down, but when I think of our brave naval soldiers being killed by the damn Chinese with tricks, I can no longer calm down." The MP suddenly raised his voice and said, "Damn, if anyone opposes sending troops to China, I will twist his head and fuck me."

"Yes, we must punish the Chinese, and let their emperor lie in front of Her Majesty the Queen and add shoes to the Queen." Member C shouted louder, but he was not worried about the soldiers who died in battle, but he felt sorry for the large number of opium he had hoarded in Hong Kong because of his other identity as an opium smuggling merchant.

The intention to use force again was approved by both houses unanimously. At the same time, the parliament also decided to send people to France to unite France to use force against China.

After learning that the coalition forces were wiped out and even the two envoys were arrested alive, the French emperor Napoleon III immediately furious. Napoleon III immediately convened a meeting of imperial predecessors and decided to contact Britain to jointly retaliate against China.

Just as Britain and France were sharpening their swords and mobilizing their troops to fight toward China, the ambassadors of the United States and Russia also visited the British Prime Minister and the French emperor respectively, and put forward the opinions of the four countries to form a coalition force to jointly use force against China.

After the four countries met, they reached an agreement to jointly send troops to China. After reaching the agreement, the four countries began to go back to rectify their troops and to join forces to divide China.

Prussia,—

The fleet sailed on the sea for five days. Shanhaiguan had appeared far away on the horizon. The towering Great Wall hovered on the mountains. The world's first level was majestic, but its existence did not completely prevent the aliens from entering the Central Plains. On the contrary, it became a barrier to exchanges between China and the world and a symbol of the Chinese nation's long-term retreat.

Standing on the front deck of Dingyuan and looking at the Great Wall in the distance, Yang Yi suddenly remembered Chairman Mao's poem in his mind, and couldn't help but feel emotion, and said in a slow and powerful voice: "The road to the pass is as iron as iron, and now he takes a step back."

"Sir, I am so happy, I wrote a good poem." When Yang Yi was thinking about the poem, Zhang Jian came to Yang Yi and listened to it. It was setting sun, and the afterglow of the setting sun spread on Yang Yi. Yang Yi seemed to have been integrated into this gorgeous sunset. His tall body faced the mountains and the Great Wall in the distance, and his whole body exuded a momentum that swallowed the world.

Zhang Jian's applause obviously did not interrupt Yang Yi's poetic spirit. At this time, the sky was red and the mountains were continuous. Yang Yi did not look back and continued to read: "From the beginning, from the beginning, the mountains are like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood." The following sentences frowned Zhang Jian's brows. He was a scholar and heard that Yang Yi was the first poem, but this poem seemed to be half apart. Scholars always like good poems and good poems. Zhang Jian was a little dissatisfied with good poems that only heard half of them. Instead, he put what he wanted Yang Yi to have something to do before and asked Yang Yi: "Sir, this poem is a good poem, and it is also suitable for this scene. I just don't know how the other half poem was written?"

Of course, Yang Yi could not be said to be Chairman Mao’s masterpiece. Zhang Jian didn’t understand it, but the first half of the poem was not in line with this scene. He read it but revealed his flaws. Yang Yi had to say, “Sir, you have been too proud. This is just a half of the poem that Yang Yiyi had just heard. He didn’t think about it yet. Yang Yi didn’t read much, so he laughed at him.” But Zhang Jian said with a serious look: “You must not belittle yourself. Just relying on the lyrics you just read, Zhang Jian thought that your writing skills are quite high. Perhaps you are living overseas for a long time and not familiar with poetry, otherwise you will definitely be able to make beautiful words.”

Speaking of poetry, Yang Yi is really not an expert. The lyrics just now were also plagiarized by Chairman Mao’s work. Yang Yi knew that if he continued to say this, he would probably be exposed. He quickly changed the topic and said, "What's the matter with Yang Yi?" Zhang Jian then remembered his purpose of finding Yang Yi, and quickly replied, "There is news from Li Xiucheng. The negotiations with Shi Dakai ended half a month ago. This is a letter from the intelligence department." Zhang Jian said and handed over a note. "In addition, according to the instructions of the adults, Li Xiucheng had already dropped the army north after the negotiations, and could cross the Yellow River soon."

"Okay, so good. Xiucheng did a pretty job. I want to remember his merits."

It turned out that Yang Yi asked Li Xiucheng to solve the problem as soon as possible before dealing with the coalition forces, and then headed north. Li Xiucheng's 100,000 troops were too critical. It can be said that what the battle looked like, the key depends on whether Li Xiucheng could arrive in time.

The negotiation process of Li Xiucheng's goods Shi Dakai was not very smooth. It can almost be said that Shi Dakai was sitting on the negotiating table by Li Xiucheng with cannons. Although Shi Dakai was satisfied with the sincerity expressed by Li Xiucheng, as Shi Dakai, who was originally a separatist, it was really hard to accept the feeling of being under the will of others. After several negotiations, the two sides bargained. Before going to Wuchang, Li Xiucheng foresaw the possibility of Shi Da regretting the meeting. After all, Shi Dakai still had hundreds of thousands of troops. Before going, Li Xiucheng discussed with Liu Mingchuan. Ten days after the negotiations began, if Shi Dakai did not compromise, he would immediately send a letter to Nanchang.

Starting an attack. As expected, Shi Dakai was very enthusiastic about the negotiations on the surface, but in fact he wanted to take advantage of the negotiation opportunities to breathe, so he kept arguing with Li Xiucheng. Until Liu Mingchuan approached Nanchang, and bombarded with cannons every day. When Zeng Guofan saw Liu Mingchuan's move, he also attacked the morgue, set out from Yuezhou, Hunan, and rushed towards Wuchang. Two troops attacked together, Shi Dakai immediately felt huge pressure. The direction of Wuchang was fine, and the Hunan army was an old opponent, and Shi Dakai was not afraid. But the situation in Nanchang was bad. Liu Mingchuan's fierce artillery fire hit the morgue without fighting back at all. Even the room for parry was limited.

Shi Dakai quickly found Li Xiucheng and asked him to ask Liu Mingchuan to cease fire, but Li Xiucheng said: "Liu Mingchuan is a new army veteran. Lian Huan is a brother-in-law and he can't control him at all. Li Xiucheng can only cease fire in the Jiujiang new army, but he can't control Liu Mingchuan.

(Fu: Chairman Mao's words: Reminiscing Qin Moth

The west wind is strong,

The geese in the sky call the frost and morning moon.

Frost morning moon,

The sound of horse hooves is broken and the sound of horns is swallowed.

The road to the pass is as iron as iron,

Now we take the step back and forth.

From the beginning,
Chapter completed!
