Chapter 312 Enter the city, stop, urgent order!

"Dear Ambassador, shall we wait like this?"

In the British Embassy of Yanjing, Hurd looked at Dou Maile excitedly, and his face turned red, and even his favorite wine in the glass in front of him could not a trace of desire.

As an Englishman who has held the customs power of this country for so many years, he knows very well how rich it is here. Many people regard South Africa and India as the crown jewels of the British Empire, but only he knows better that this country is dozens of times the sum of the two than wealth!

Nowadays, opium and mining alone can bring back millions of pounds of profits to Britain every year, but now, such a huge profit has been challenged by the north. Once Li Mo controls Yanjing and even the whole of China, he will definitely take Britain because of his support for the extremely poor relationship between Japan and Britain. The country kicked out from the Far East!

This is unforgivable!

Dou Maile stood at the window, listening to the hurried footsteps and barking dogs outside, and the faint gunfire. He was not as excited as Hurd. In his opinion, the British compatriot seemed to have mixed too many personal feelings into this battle, although he also appreciated the other party's efforts in this land. Efforts have been made to protect the interests of Britain, but the empire is a global country, and there are many things to consider, let alone be involved in a war that can no longer change the outcome at this time.

It is impossible to restrict Li Mo. From the moment he surrendered, he knew that unless Britain did his best, no one could stop the rise of a new regime. The United States, which could have been a helper, had to withdraw to the Atlantic Ocean because it was involved in Cuba. So far, they have been there. More than 100,000 soldiers were dropped in it, but they are still anxious!

The Cuban war, which seems to have nothing to do with the Far East, is actually constantly reminding Britain to take the initiative to intervene in the Far East, which is dozens of times more than Cuba's whirlpool, with Li Mo, who has a strong fleet and more than 100,000 troops, and has a large number of financial revenue that is still a mystery. I'm afraid that a war will be a long-lasting gamble that may not have a good result!

From the royal family to the people, Li Mo has long been regarded as an upstart, madman, madman, and spoiler in China, because he took advantage of the kindness of the British Empire and the unique relationship between Chile and Britain. He calculated Britain from the beginning and stood on the shoulders of Britain to develop!

He is a cunning and fierce hungry wolf. He took advantage of complex international relations and wandered between countries. He attacked Japan, attacked Russia, buried Spain, completely drove Japan out of the game, and put the ambitious Germany into the Far East to check and balance Britain. Not long ago, he blocked the French in the north. Outside the gate!

While muddying the water and using the containment of various countries, he kept opening his teeth and claws!

His appetite is greedy, and his ambitions are known to everyone, so Foreign Minister Kimberley reached a treaty demarcating the Yangtze River with him at the last moment before returning to China, because Britain has made it clear that it has already missed the best time to contain him. It can only consume a little bit and try to delay the unification as much as possible. The speed at which the country rises.

Du Maile turned around and picked up a cigar from the table and glanced at the restless Hurd.

"Dear Mr. Heard, we must submit to the national interests. Although His Excellency Prime Minister Salisbury has made efforts to change China's policy of non-interference in the mainland, please remember that we cannot intervene in this war at present!"

"In addition, I think you should be ready to leave the north. We will hold the same position for you in the south, but here!" Dou Maile shook his head with a cigar: "I'm very sorry."

Hurd also knew the domestic policy, but he was still a little disappointed to hear these words and defended: "Your Excellency, although we have reached an agreement with Li Mo on the demarcation of the Yangtze River, how long do you think this can last? What's more, I think that even if we can't change anything, as civilized people, we should strive to ensure the safety of the Qing royal family and send them to the south to continue to govern there, so as to ensure our interests.

Dou Maile sighed from the bottom of his heart. He knew that He must be selfish. Maybe the Chinese emperor who was about to step down gave him something to make a promise, so he put forward the idea of ensuring the safety of the royal family. But now Li Mo's army has hit the city. Isn't it too late to say this? What's more, the Qing army actually lost Deshengmen!

If in the past, he could still find a way to send troops to protect and arrange for the Chinese emperor's family to leave quietly, but now it's too late to do so. As for receiving refuge from the embassy, he didn't even think about it. At this time, he couldn't give Li Mo any excuse!

But Hurd's face could not be given, so he thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Hurd, please tell the Chinese emperor and the empress dowager that if they can take back Deshengmen and block Li Mo's army outside the city, then I can try to mediate, but if they can't do it, then I can't do anything."

Hurd nodded and knew that the ambassador had tried his best. He immediately ran to contact the Chinese emperor who was already like an ant on a hot pot. After sending him away, Dou Maile immediately recruited a military officer.

"Hang our national flag in a prominent position and order all soldiers to strengthen their guard. No Chinese can stay in the embassy in any name. Those who try to approach can shoot directly."

"In addition, arrange someone to inform the expatriates here in our country as soon as possible, ask them to stay at home for the time being, and don't take in any Chinese!" -

"Pay attention to save bullets!"

"Yang Jun, grandma, aim and fight!"

"Medical officer, medical officer! Someone was injured."

"Gunban! What are you doing? Give me a few shots! The fucking Qing army is crazy and saves a cannonball!"

"Dog said, communication soldier, and then ask when the reinforcements will arrive!"

Liu Dayin wore a steel helmet, lowered his head, and walked through every wall. The bullets flying all over the sky chirped on the green bricks, which made him spat fiercely. Not long after the dream of meritorious promotion, the Qing army opposite realized the importance of Deshengmen and counterattacked.

The black pressure suppressed a Qing army. Under the supervision of a large number of yellow horse guards, they dared to stretch out their claws at themselves. Unfortunately, several waves of brother troops who came to support were light. Otherwise, even if there was a Maxim here, the guy opposite knew how many eyes of Uncle Liu had.

"Bah!" Liu Dayin looked up. Hundreds of cavalry behind the Qing army were gathering, and a haze suddenly rose in his heart. He was not afraid of the infantry, nor was he afraid that the Qing army would line up. He was afraid that these fast cavalry, and many of the soldiers guarding below were killed by these cavalry.

"Be careful of cavalry!"

Liu Dayin had no time to boost morale. He raised his gun and joined the war circle. It seemed that he was cooperating with his words. The Qing army in the distance suddenly separated into two columns. Hundreds of cavalry waved their knives and roared over, and the iron hooves hit Qingshi Avenue, which was particularly crisp.

"Close closer, closer..." Liu Dayin muttered at the corners of his mouth. When the cavalry approached, he suddenly shouted, "Fire!"

Hundreds of guns were aimed at the Qing cavalry who were charging at the same time. A row of bullets kept knocking down these cavalry, and at the same time, the bullets were consumed quickly.

Although the avenue in Deshengmen is wide, it is far more than that in the wild. Using cavalry in such a narrow space is no different from looking for a way to death, but this also shows that the Qing army is really anxious!

"Comm., right, touch on the right!" The instructor pressed the helmet with his hand and rushed to Liu Dayin, pointing to a group of Qing soldiers running along the city wall on the right and shouting.

Liu Dayin looked up and was also shocked by the dense heads. He saw that the Qing army also learned to be obedient and hid in the shooting corner along the wall. It was really difficult to hit them unless he leaned out, but in this way, he would be exposed to the frontal Qing army, and the casualties would certainly be very large.

But...

Liu Dayin wiped a bad smile on the corners of his mouth and patted the instructor on the shoulder: "Here's you. I'll let these chicks know what it means!" After saying that, he picked up his gun and immediately greeted more than a dozen soldiers, removed a few grenades from others, and quickly ran along the wall of the Qing army.

After arriving at the destination, he immediately greeted everyone to concentrate, took out the grenade and shouted, "I'll count three."

The soldiers immediately understood what Liu Dayin was going to do. They all pulled out the grenade and pulled the lead. Seeing that everyone was ready, Liu Dayin immediately pulled the lead. After counting three loudly, he and then threw the grenade with white eyes down the wall with everyone.

Boom...

Because it was in the hand for a period of time, the grenade exploded before it landed, and some even fell to the front door. Suddenly, the shrapnel was in the air and swept through the explosion, blowing up the Qing army, who thought it would be fine to hide at the foot of the wall.

One grenades one after another kept smashing down from the city wall. The power comparable to the shells made the Qing army run around, and they could no longer take care of sneaking on the city gate.

After solving the crisis, Liu Dayin took everyone back to the top of the main door. At this time, he felt like a firefighter. On the left and right, plus the main road in the middle, as well as the Qing army coming along the city wall, suddenly crowded the small Desheng Gate.

At this critical moment, there was a sudden sound of fierce horse hissing in the distance behind him. Liu Dayin immediately turned his head and jumped up excitedly!

"The cavalry is our cavalry!"

"Kill!"

In a moment, the forward camp of the cavalry division, which went south from Shanhaiguan, finally arrived outside the Desheng Gate after a night of running wildly. These guys who were eager to support and grabbed the credit by the way did not even breathe, and a swarm of bees rushed to Desheng Gate.

The soldiers guard below quickly moved away from the block. A steed suddenly plunged into the already chaotic Qing army like a hot iron brazing. Just for a moment, the defeat became bigger and bigger like a falling snowball.

Just before the sound of the cavalry rushing through the Desheng Gate dissipated, the first batch of 3,000 second division soldiers who came from Tianjin by land finally arrived at their destination after more than half a circle around Yanjing City.

"Good teacher!"

As soon as Liu Dayin came down from the tower, he saw Ouyang Xiu, who personally led the team to support him, coming to him with a whip, and he saluted excitedly.

"Well done! It's worthy of our second division! I'll write a detailed war report later, and I'll do my work for you. After Ouyang Xiu saw Liu Dayin, he laughed and patted him on the shoulder. Next to him, several other divisions who came to support last night blocked the door, and hurriedly turned around.

"Yes, thank you, teacher."

While the two talked and laughed, the troops began to flow inward, announcing that the ancient capital of the two dynasties had been officially broken and ushered in a new era--

"Report..."

"Your Majesty, it's not a big deal. Li Mo's rebels have invaded Deshengmen, with thousands of people!" Before Xu Yongyi finished shouting, another lieutenant rushed to the side and shouted, "Your Majesty, traces of rebels have been found outside Dongzhimen, Chaoyangmen, Yongdingmen and Guang'anmen."

"Your Majesty, the British did not agree to mediate and refused the request for asylum!"

"Your Majesty,..."

Messages and shouts made Guangxu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly shake a few times, and a trace of abnormal blush rose on his face.

On the pillar next to

, the dragon's claws and phoenixes are in the air, but it looks so eye-catching at this moment! Emperor Guangxu staggered to stand up, pushed away the little eunuch who wanted to help, walked into the ministers, and suddenly laughed.

"Do you think of me, the emperor at this time? In those years, I fought hard, but you dragged back one by one and avoided the war, so that Li Mo had the opportunity to take root in the three provinces!" Guangxu turned his finger and pointed to Cixi next to him: "In this case, why don't you ask this old Buddha at this moment!"

"Fed!"

Cixi scolded angrily. Just as she was about to speak, Guangxu waved her hand to herself. She didn't even say a word and didn't look back: "That's all right, it's all together. From then on, our fate will be over. Let's run for our lives."

After saying that, he walked heavily towards the bedroom.

Outside the palace, there were bursts of shouting and explosions, which made the air in the hall completely stagnate. Everyone sat on the ground. Cixi's old face was even more gray, and her eyes were constantly dead--

On the Yanjingcheng Avenue, the sound of dense and neat footsteps shocked everyone. The people shrank their heads and looked at the strangely dressed team running along the road to the Forbidden City through the cracks of the cracks.

Shen Hao rode on the horse and rushed to the front, looking at the golden city shining under the golden sun not far away, with scorching heat in his eyes.

The Forbidden City!

The place where the emperor lived, I never thought I could be so close before, but at this moment, in front of him, trembling under the iron hooves of the war horse where he sat down!

"Zunma!"

Excited, Shen Hao was about to add two whips. Suddenly, a loud shout made him suddenly pull the reins. His comrades-in-arms around him also stopped one by one and turned his head to look at the battalion commander whose face suddenly became very serious.

Everyone was surprised and saw the Forbidden City in sight. As long as they walked a few hundred steps, the greatest credit could be obtained. Why did they stop at this time?

"General staff officer, young master's urgent order!" The battalion commander came to everyone with a serious face.

"All soldiers who enter the inner city must ensure the safety of the imperial city. If there are people who set fire to rob wealth, don't kill them!"

"The young master also ordered that everyone can see and walk anywhere, but no one is allowed to move a thread without permission. Those who violate the order..."

"Similarly, let's kill!" ......
