Chapter 493 The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty Was Frightened to Death

In August 1860, Huang Xiaohu led 8 Musketeers and [-] elite soldiers to Bozhou.

According to the previous plan, Shenlong will go to Beijing for rescue after the British and French allied forces attack Beijing.

Huang Xiaohu personally supervised the training of the Musketeers for a month, and he finally had confidence in the fighting ability of the [-] Musketeers.

In September 1860, Huang Xiaohu received news in Bozhou that the British and French allied forces had fought fiercely with the Qing army at Dagukou, and captured Dagukou, and began to gather troops in Tianjin.

A few days later, the British and French allied forces were preparing to attack Beijing. At this time, the Qing emperor left Beijing and fled directly to Chengde Mountain Resort.

Huang Xiaohu remembered that this was probably the case in history, so Zhao Yali had a good memory. The British and French allied forces indeed attacked Beijing in September, and the burning of the Old Summer Palace happened in October.

When the British and French allied forces attacked Beijing, Huang Xiaohu personally led an army of [-], including [-] elite soldiers and [-] musketeers, and rushed directly to Tianjin.

Without much resistance in Tianjin, Huang Xiaohu's [-] army has successfully occupied Tianjin.

After occupying Tianjin, the British and French allied forces sent a minister to Huang Xiaohu to try to negotiate with the Dragon Society.

Huang Xiaohu asked the British and French allied forces to withdraw, but of course the other party refused.

In fact, Huang Xiaohu didn't really put his heart into negotiating with them at all. This time Huang Xiaohu received the news that the British and French allied forces attacked Beijing with about 8000 people, so it was their weapons that moved Huang Xiaohu's heart.

As long as this Anglo-French coalition force is eliminated, Huang Xiaohu can seize a large number of advanced weapons and guns, and then go to Dagukou to intercept and detain the British-French coalition fleet, so that Shenlong will get dozens of warships and The ferry is gone.

The British and French allied forces never expected that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty ran away, and the Qing army did not resist in Beijing, but suddenly a team came out from Tianjin, and most of them were armed with muskets and cannons.

Long before entering the city of Beijing, Huang Xiaohu asked someone to publicize it in Beijing, saying that foreigners dared to invade my territory and bully my Chinese descendants, and the emperor dared not speak out, so the Shenlong Society will replace it Heaven will do what it takes to destroy this army of foreigners.

After Huang Xiaohu's army entered Beijing, the British and French allied forces directly fought against the Shenlonghui army, but they did not expect that this Shenlonghui army's strength was extraordinary and their combat effectiveness was astonishing, so they soon fell into a bitter battle.

The people in Beijing supported the Dragon Society, so in addition to the Dragon Society's army, the Anglo-French coalition forces also encountered resistance from the people, with enemies everywhere, and there was no time to rest at all.

After two days of hard fighting, Huang Xiaohu's army finally achieved a substantial victory, defeated the main force of the British and French allied forces, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue the thousands of people who fled.

Three days later, the army of the Dragon Society completely wiped out the Anglo-French coalition forces that attacked Beijing, and then took control of the city of Beijing.

Huang Xiaohu ordered to move all the things in the Beijing Imperial Palace to Tianjing, and then asked someone to move all the things in the Old Summer Palace to Tianjing.

In order to complete these tasks as soon as possible, Huang Xiaohu sent a letter to Ji Wu and asked Ji Wu to lead an army of [-] into Beijing to assist.

The British and French allied forces attacking Beijing were defeated, and Ji Wu's army wiped out the rest of the British and French allied forces at Dagukou, and then took control of the port and dozens of warships and ferries.

According to Huang Xiaohu's order, Ji Wu left [-] Musketeers behind and led the remaining [-] troops into Beijing to assist in the transfer of things from the Imperial Palace and the Old Summer Palace, even a pair of chopsticks and a bowl.

It was Seng Gelinqin who stayed in the Qing court in Beijing. When the Qing army fought against the British and French allied forces at the Shenlonghui, they did help fight the British and French allied forces. The Qing army was assembled to stop it.

These Qing troops were definitely not the opponents of the Shenlonghui Musketeers, and they were all controlled by Huang Xiaohu's army before they organized an effective resistance.

Huang Xiaohu directly beheaded Seng Gelinqin in order to make an example to others, and then all the thousands of Qing troops in Beijing surrendered and were recruited by the Dragon Society.

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty learned that the British and French allied forces were defeated and was about to return to Beijing, but he also learned that the Dragon Society had occupied Beijing, so he could only dispatch a large army to attack Beijing.

The purpose of Huang Xiaohu leading the army into Beijing was actually to ensure the safety of the Old Summer Palace, and to seize the weapons and equipment of the British and French allied forces.

Now that Huang Xiaohu's goal has been achieved, he temporarily changed his mind and moved all the things in the Imperial Palace and Yuanmingyuan back, at least in Tianjing City, where Huang Xiaohu is still capable of protecting it.

The point is that this battle made Huang Xiaohu see the weakness and incompetence of the Qing army, and their combat effectiveness was indeed low, especially when facing the Musketeers, they were almost completely powerless.

The tens of thousands of troops organized by the Qing government attacked the city of Beijing, but they were defeated by Huang Xiaohu's [-] Musketeers. It was a completely one-sided war.

After learning that the Qing emperor was still in Chengde, Huang Xiaohu began to have a new plan.

Huang Xiaohu ordered Ji Wu to lead [-] musketeers and [-] elite soldiers to bypass Chengde and set up an ambush.

After the palace and the Old Summer Palace were all emptied, Huang Xiaohu led an army to attack Chengde.

Emperor Xianfeng and those Gu Ming ministers were obviously not prepared, so they fled hastily but were ambushed by Ji Wu's army.

To Huang Xiaohu's surprise, Emperor Xianfeng was frightened to death, and the rest of the ministers, queens and concubines of the palace, including the eunuchs, all surrendered.

Ji Wu personally led the army to escort these people to Tianjing, and then waited for Huang Xiaohu's disposal.

Huang Xiaohu led the army back to Tianjing from Chengde, preparing to personally interrogate the captured queens and concubines.

Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan had long been waiting for Huang Xiaohu in Tianjing City, so as soon as Huang Xiaohu came back, Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan surrounded Huang Xiaohu.

Zhao Yali said: "Huzi, I heard that Emperor Xianfeng is dead?"

Zhang Yalan said: "The Empress Dowager Cixi has been arrested?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Unexpectedly, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were so absurd, and the fighting power of the Qing army was frighteningly low. We just beat them a few times casually, and captured them all."

Zhao Yali asked: "What about Liaoning? What are you going to do in the northeast?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Now I have an idea. It shouldn't be a big problem to take down the three eastern provinces directly. Moreover, Ji Wu led the musketeers to attack the three eastern provinces. They just wiped out the Qing army. If everything goes well, our Shenlong will be there. There would be no enemies in the North."

Zhao Yali said: "If you want to fight Japan, you need to take the three eastern provinces as soon as possible. And many ports need to be blocked and controlled as soon as possible to avoid the situation where foreign fleets land on the ports."

Huang Xiaohu said: "What are you two waiting for me to come back?"

Zhang Yalan said: "Actually, Xiaoli and I want to ask you one thing."

Huang Xiaohu asked, "What is it?"

Zhang Yalan said: "Xiao Li and I would like to interrogate the ministers of the Qing Dynasty and the concubines in the palace who were captured this time, is that okay?"

Huang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Okay, anyway, you don't have anything to do, so I leave these people to you for interrogation. As for how to deal with them, I also leave it to you."

Huang Xiaohu ordered the Imperial Army to imprison all the ministers, queens, concubines and princesses above the second rank, and hand them over to Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan for interrogation.

Next, Huang Xiaohu convened a meeting of generals above the regiment level.

Huang Xiaohu said: "I didn't expect it to be so easy this time. Our Shenlong Society not only defeated the British and French allied forces, but also killed the Qing emperor on the way. In fact, it was not a beating. It is said that the emperor was scared to death. "

Luo Hongfan said: "My lord, since the emperor is dead, why don't you consider becoming king?"

Huang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Leave that aside, I have a suggestion. Shenlong will continue to attack the three provinces in the east. Tianjin and Beijing will need to be garrisoned by then. Do you have any suggestions?"

Fu Shanxiang said: "The little girl is willing to be stationed in Tianjin."

Zhang Chaojue said: "My lord, does the city of Beijing really need people to guard it now?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Master Zhang, I understand what you mean. You want to garrison Beijing, right? Actually, I trust you, so I can assign you to garrison Tianjin and Beijing, but as long as you betray me, I am afraid that you will end up in the end." It's going to be very miserable."

Zhang Chaojue knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, he absolutely dare not have half-hearted intentions."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Since Miss Fu and Mr. Zhang recommended me, I am willing to accept your request. Fu Shanxiang will be in charge of Tianjin, and Mr. Zhang will be in charge of Beijing."

After the meeting, Huang Xiaohu left Jia Lin and Luo Hongfan behind.

Jia Lin said: "My lord, the chiefs stationed abroad now have heavy troops in their hands. I'm afraid we still need to be careful in the future."

Luo Hongfan said: "That's right, my lord president. Take the previous dynasty as an example. Those local governors have heavy troops in their hands, and sooner or later they will cause trouble."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Currently, Gu Quan is in Hangzhou and Wei Zhijun is in Anqing. Among them, Gu Quan has more than 6 troops, and Wei Zhijun now has [-] or [-] troops. The Panlong Barracks and Daliang Town Barracks are under our control. I personally control the entire army, and what you say is not unreasonable. But what should I do now?"

Luo Hongfan said: "The defense system can be implemented. Every six months, the Hangzhou garrison and Anqing garrison will be swapped with the Daliang Town barracks. This will basically ensure that those soldiers will not be too close to the general."

Jia Lin said: "Lord Luo's proposal is good, and you can also set up the posts of supervisor and warlord to restrict the military power of the generals stationed outside."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Actually, what you said is correct. I still have my most powerful move. But I don't want to reveal it for the time being, so you will understand later. As for setting up the positions of supervisor and warlord, you can consider it." , but the change of defense cannot be limited to six months, I think once a year is more appropriate."

Luo Hongfan said: "Since the chairman also agrees with this idea, then someone Luo will follow up the details."

As the Dragon Society became more and more powerful and there were more and more generals, Huang Xiaohu had to consider a practical problem, that is how to protect his core position from being threatened.

Huang Xiaohu himself already had a plan. Except for Jia Lin and Luo Hongfan's proposal, Huang Xiaohu ordered all the musketeers to be mobilized to Daliang Town for training. Because they were going to attack the three eastern provinces, no one thought that this was Huang Xiaohu's plan. part.

Huang Xiaohu's plan is to control the military power of the Musketeers, and then control the port and ships.
