Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 932 What should come will always come

Time: October 10, 6:06 in the afternoon, when the sunset on the horizon is about to completely set.

Location: The main entrance of Yuanmingyuan.

Looking at the empty road ahead and the sky that was about to turn completely dark, Hu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

With a 'click~' sound, the bullet in the gun chamber was ejected.

Standing next to him, the team members also felt a sense of relief; they put away their weapons and walked out of their respective hidden fire points.

The reason for this is that today's time is more sensitive.

In the original history, the French army finally reached the Old Summer Palace this afternoon; Ren Liang and a group of more than [-] father-in-laws were all killed in the process, and then Wen Feng, the minister in charge of the garden, threw himself into Fuhai and died.

The next day, when the leader of the Yinfa coalition arrived.

Immediately, three British and French committee members were dispatched to discuss the distribution of the treasures in the garden, which was regarded as the official start of the crazy looting here.

In this mission world, although the Yinfa coalition suffered a big loss at Bali Bridge, the number of people killed in the battle was a hundred times greater than before.

It can be said that they were severely discouraged.

But the inertia of history is too great, or it could be said that the entire Daqing court is just too useless.

Emperor Xianfeng still ran away with his wife.Daqing's army was still looking like a bird, its morale had not been improved at all, and it also ran away.

Therefore, Hu Biao and the others had no confidence at all whether the Yinfa coalition forces would arrive this afternoon as they did in history.

It can only be said that except for Ali and the two of them, who continued to direct Hai Dongqing to transfer the treasures, everyone else in the team set up defenses at the door to guard against the appearance of the Yinfa coalition forces.

It was only now that there was no trace of the Yin Fa coalition forces that they breathed a sigh of relief.

no way!There are too many treasures here in the Old Summer Palace, even if they have used Haidongqing to transport space equipment by air, such a buggy air transport method.

As of today, they have transported a third of the quantity away.

On the surface, this amount seems to be quite a lot.

The key to the problem is that the treasures that were moved were all relatively small and did not take up much space; the ritual vessels passed down from the pre-Qin period, and even large items such as the skulls of the twelve zodiac animals, have not been moved at all.

Once we start transporting these large items, the efficiency will be greatly reduced. How long will it take to completely transport them?

Fortunately, their appearance still brought some changes to the rhythm of this war.

The Yinfa coalition did not appear outside the Old Summer Palace as scheduled; finally, their efforts in the battle at Bali Bridge were not in vain.

After putting the Hanyang-made rifle on his shoulder, Hu Biao shouted:

"The warehouse manager and Lao Hei will arrange their own shifts. From now on, you two will take some people and stay at the front and back gates to continue guarding. I will naturally ask the God of Wealth to deliver three meals a day to you.

Others go back to eat first, and after eating, they have to get off work overtime.

Try hard and dig out a section of tunnel tonight; the more tunnels there are and the longer they are, you might be able to save your life in a fight.

In addition, we should discuss with Ali to see if we can allow Hai Dongqing to fly one or half more times a day, otherwise I am afraid there will still be a lot of things that cannot be moved. "

Faced with Hu Biao's decision, everyone naturally had no objections.

But what they don't know is that they are happy a little too early; under the huge inertia of history, what is supposed to come will always come...

******
At the same time, Montauban, the commander-in-chief of the Yin-French coalition forces, and Grant, the commander of the Yin army, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Because under the last rays of the setting sun, a large number of reinforcements from their side also arrived at Bali Bridge.

After counting this batch of reinforcements, the number of French troops in Baliqiao Camp reached more than 4500, and the number of Yin troops reached more than 6500. The total strength has exceeded 1000.

In addition, there are a total of 18 field guns of various calibers, ranging from a maximum of 4 pounds to a minimum of 61 pounds.In terms of artillery shells, there are also quite sufficient quantities, enough to carry out several battles.

Seeing this huge army and the firepower of both the Qing Army and Xuan Ge Camp that could completely crush the entire battlefield, they finally regained their courage.

The rest depends on how to completely burst out the depression that has been held in my heart these days.

Therefore, without even having time to eat dinner, all the senior generals in the Yin and France coalition gathered together at the request of Montauban and Grant.

Be prepared to discuss how to take the next step in order to get better revenge.

All of a sudden, a group of senior coalition generals who had been suppressed over the years spoke up and put forward many different opinions and suggestions.

Some people shouted, surrounded Qingren's capital, and launched artillery fire in retaliation.

Some people suggested that shelling alone was not enough; they should take immediate action early tomorrow morning to attack the capital and rescue Parkes and other negotiators who were detained by the young people.

Some people suggested setting fire to...

Amidst all the chattering, an Oriental man with a long braid trailing behind and wearing a dress, who was not at all in harmony with the style of the scene, stood up.

After speaking in fluent English, the eyes of the senior generals of the Yin and France coalition forces on the scene were filled with greed.

Say it!Every time the flower grower Shenzhou Luchen comes to visit, who is more hated than those foreign bandits?Of course it is this kind of traitor who leads the way.

The guy who just walked out was called Gong Xiaogong, or Gong Banlun.

Not many people may know the origin of this guy, but his father is a big celebrity, and a big celebrity with a good reputation.

It was precisely he who wrote famous sentences such as "I urge God to cheer up and send down talented people of all kinds", and "Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers".

Gong Zizhen was considered a pioneer of the reformist movement in his late youth.

As a result, such a character gave birth to a son who was a traitor.

Gong Xiaogong came to Beijing with his father when he was young, socialized with Manchu children, studied on horseback, and was accomplished in Confucian classics and history. He also assisted Wei Yuan in writing "Hai Guo Tu Zhi", so he was naturally capable.

In 56 years, he went to Nancang camp where Zeng had his head shaved and offered advice to Zeng, but he was not accepted.

In 58, he met Weituma, the Han counselor of the Yin Kingdom in China, and helped him write articles. From then on, he began to behave like a traitor. This year, he followed Wei to Beijing and became a staff member.

After coughing a few times, he attracted everyone's attention.

He said lightly: "If you want to take revenge and vent, dear gentlemen, why don't you go to the Old Summer Palace?
It was not only the summer palace of Emperor Daqing, but also a treasure house of the Aixinjueluo family.

In this ancient eastern land, most of the treasures that existed for thousands of years were collected from the people by various means and placed there.

Each piece has an astonishing value, and there are more than one million pieces in quantity. "

After hearing words such as 'treasures worth thousands of years' and 'more than a million pieces' falling on the ears of these robbers, their breathing became rapid for a while, and greed arose in their hearts.

Stimulated by their huge greed, they also issued crazy enthusiasm.

Unable to wait for dawn the next day, 500 French troops and 600 Yin troops, a total of 1100 people, led by Gong Xiaogong, set out overnight.

After driving all the way to the north of the capital city, we first encountered thousands of Seng Gelinqin's remnant soldiers stationed here.

After a brief resistance, these people escaped on their horses.

Finally, around 1 a.m., I saw a dense black shadow under the moonlight, trotting over from the road.

The warehouse manager who was keeping vigil at the time suddenly uttered a curse word.

With one casual shot, he knocked down the man in front of him and broke the last trace of peace in the Old Summer Palace...
