If that was the case, Taylor could still resist for a while, waiting for the arrival of troops from other countries.

But something happened that made him even more unexpected. George pointed his gun at Taylor.

More than 4 British troops all turned their guns, and the target was Taylor's troops.

The anger in Taylor's heart was beyond words.

In the following time, under George's persuasion, many of Taylor's subordinates all chose to surrender and return to George's subordinates.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, Taylor finally felt panicked.

Even the generals who had chosen to write the letter together before were all being flattered by George at the moment.

George is not a man of backbone, but up to now, all the escape routes left for him have been blocked.

Whether facing Chang Wei or George, Taylor couldn't find a reason to survive.

At this time, the only thing to do is to fight hard, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

Outside Taylor's barracks, Chang Wei was fighting hard.

In an hour's time, thousands of British soldiers have been killed, and their large forces have long since collapsed.

Less than 3000 people stayed with Taylor.

"King of Han, leave us behind for those foreigners..."

While fighting, Fang Tangjing whispered in Chang Wei's ear.

Indeed, all the Han troops are now besieging Taylor's troops.

As for the back, it was all exposed to George's vision, and a siege could be initiated at any time.

It's not that Chang Wei hasn't thought about this problem, or in other words, all of George's current behaviors are pretending.

But in the end, I still choose not to think so much.

Some opportunities are gone if you lose them.

At night, no matter how good the British army's weapons and equipment were, they lost their aiming function and could not display their true strength at all.

And the Han army was as crazy as if it had been beaten with chicken blood.

Several hours later, Taylor's subordinates fought bloody battles, and only a few dozen people remained.

"General, hurry up and explain the situation to the queen when you go back, and avenge us."

Knowing that they could not escape, Taylor's cronies forcibly put Taylor into a car and broke out towards the outside.

It was also at this time that Chang Wei led the army to kill in.

After killing these British soldiers, all they could see was Taylor's back as he walked away.

"It's abominable to let this guy run away." Fang Tangjing clenched his fists and cursed.

Chang Wei's face remained unchanged, and even revealed a strange smile.

"Let's go, it's interesting."

No one could understand what Chang Wei said. Taylor escaped. Is it a good thing?

The Battle of Shaotong, in just one night, announced that the British Empire would withdraw from China's territory.

This is not the meaning of the British government and the queen, but George's choice alone.

After the British army withdrew from the battle, the forces of the remaining seven countries also slowed down their offensive speed.

They are waiting for the Queen of England to give them an explanation.

They started this war first, but in the end, they were the ones who withdrew first.

In the world, there is no such reason.

But William George didn't care about that, and went directly to Ah San's country with the army.

Of course, it was also at Chang Wei's suggestion that George would go to that place where nothing shit happened.

The battle of Shaotong was over, and the Huaxia army became famous all over the world.

Being able to easily defeat the British army, the overlord of the world, no matter what the reason is, will eventually make the world look at it with admiration. .

Chapter 544

The eight-nation coalition invaded, not only did not get any benefits, but also returned lonely.

It also means that in the near future, Huaxia's reputation will be further enhanced.

This is how the transformation from an old feudal dynasty to an oriental power began.

After the battle of Shaotong, Chang Wei did not attack the Qing army immediately.

Although this war did not bring many casualties to the Han army, it also fully exposed a problem, that is, it is difficult to digest in a short period of time.

The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and Chang Wei has no way to guarantee that every aspect is so safe.

If this continues, even if the entire Kyushu is occupied, there will be resistance and uprisings everywhere.

Such a result was not what Chang Wei wanted to see.

Once and for all is good, but the root of the problem is the most important thing.

However, the envoys of the Qing army came to Hanzhong.

The leader was Li Hongzhang.

Today he represents Emperor Xianfeng.

Xianfeng, who suffered a disastrous defeat in the imperial conquest, was extremely weak and had no wishes in his heart.

As he had imagined before, this was his first expedition, and it would also be his last.

The Qing Empire will never again be as prosperous and powerful as before.

At the negotiating table, although Xianfeng didn't come, Chang Wei was already sitting there.

Li Hongzhang walked in with a group of ministers from the Qing Dynasty, and sat opposite Chang Wei.

From their eyes, all that can be seen is loneliness.

The loser is not qualified to negotiate terms.

"King of Han, this time I am negotiating on behalf of the Qing emperor. If there is any offense, please don't mind."

Li Hongzhang smiled wryly and was about to sit down.

Chang Wei coughed and shouted loudly: "Come here today, not to mention that you represent Xianfeng Xiaoer, but before that, what should I call my king?"

Hearing this, all the envoys from the Manchu Qing Dynasty whispered to each other and discussed a lot.

Could it be that there is some unusual relationship between Li Hongzhang and Chang Wei?

Li Hongzhang blushed, extremely embarrassed.

Looking around, he finally knelt down.

"Students meet their teachers."

Only then did Chang Wei nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right, I haven't forgotten your identity, but from today onwards, you can have your choice, whether to continue to serve the Tartars, or to contribute to the prosperity of our Han dynasty."

Li Hongzhang was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer.

In his previous career, Chang Wei had the kindness of education to him, but Xianfeng also had the kindness of knowing and encountering him.

Both of them exist in Li Hongzhang's mind and cannot be forgotten all the time.

"Teacher, the students are away, obey the emperor's order."

In Chang Wei's cold eyes, Li Hongzhong still chose the former.

With a plop, Li Hongzhang knelt down heavily, and kowtowed three times to Chang Wei.

This has nothing to do with who he is.

Maybe above the Manchu court, for the emperor, it was all foolish loyalty.

It is much more difficult to make them betray the Tartar emperor than to let them kill their relatives with their own hands.

"Now that you've made the decision, well, let's start the negotiation."

After hearing such words, Chang Wei suddenly laughed.

When everything is said and done, there are only enemies, and there is no past friendship.

After Chang Wei finished speaking, Fang Tangjing handed over several contracts to Li Hongzhang.

After the representatives of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties read it, they couldn't help cursing one by one.

"The King of Han is arrogant and insulting our Qing Empire."

"That's right, if the King of Han insists on doing this, then the [-] million soldiers of the Qing Empire will fight endlessly to the death."

"The Qing Empire will never sign such a treaty that humiliates the country."

Li Hongzhang looked cold and didn't say a word.

Those messengers can talk nonsense, but with him, he can't say a word wrong.

Xianfeng had already made his intention clear when Li Hongzhang came.

In any case, Xianfeng will never be the king of subjugation.

After half a month, Emperor Xianfeng will abdicate and let the next generation take the blame.

Although it was a helpless move, it has to be said that Xianfeng was really scared.

"King of Han, the three eastern provinces are the birthplace of our Qing Dynasty, so they naturally belong to our Qing Empire."

Li Hongzhang looked at the content of the treaty and said slowly: "Zhili Province is the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and it must be. In addition, the hinterland of the Central Plains such as Shandong and Henan is the barrier to defend the capital, and it is also the last bottom line of the Qing Empire. "

The meaning of this sentence is also obvious.

Except for these provinces, all other places can be taken over by the Han army.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·???????????????

In this way, it is the situation of dividing the world equally.

But although this wishful thinking is well done, Chang Wei is not a fool.

The places mentioned by Li Hongzhang just now are places that have not been affected by the Taiping Army.

And those who were abandoned by them were all ravaged by the Taiping Army, and they were no longer under their jurisdiction.

Not to mention the cession, even if Xianfeng went there in person, no one would buy it.

Fang Tangjing cursed and said, "Li Hongzhang, are you farting? What we want is the city of Beijing, and now you tell me that the city of Beijing cannot be given up? You even want to occupy Henan and Shandong? Are you dreaming?"

Chang Wei looked at the contract indifferently.

The content of the treaty is very simple. Xianfeng must move its capital to the three eastern provinces, and the Manchu Qing army must not exceed 30 in the future, and it must be a subsidiary state of the Han Dynasty.

...................... 0

On all issues, obey the arrangement of the big man unconditionally, and Manchurians are not allowed to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains at will, and those who violate it will be killed.

The Manchus were not allowed to attack and insult the Han people, and those who violated it would be killed.

"My king has made it very clear in the treaty that, except for the three eastern provinces, the Manchu Qing is not allowed to occupy a piece of the hinterland of the Central Plains. If not, this net will definitely drive you all to death."

Chang Wei spoke indifferently, looked at the content of the contract, and smiled with satisfaction.

The Manchu and Qing ministers who were still arguing just now became silent after hearing Chang Wei's words.

In front of Chang Wei, they were like docile sheep, not daring to howl in the slightest.

"Now, I will give you two choices, either sign the contract or go to war." Chang Wei said to Li Hongzhang.

Only then did Li Hongzhang notice that the envoys who called out just now were all pointed at with black guns.

Facing threats, no one dared to speak anymore.

Now, all decisions are in their own hands.

As everyone knows, this pen is so heavy.
