A group of 39 people, including the British and French diplomatic envoy Pa Xiali, who was conducting armistice negotiations in Tongzhou, were arrested. The Qing army's treatment of soldiers and diplomats who passed under the protection of the white flag of war exemption was extremely indignant to the top of the allied forces. Isn't there a rule of the personal inviolability of negotiators in all civilized countries?

"It is necessary to rush to the capital of the Qing Empire in China, to terrify the Manchu kings, and to rescue the hostages at any cost. Let these vile and ignorant barbarians pay a heavy price for their untrustworthy behavior! The coalition officers shouted angrily.

"No one, no matter how noble his status, after treachery, can not escape punishment, and the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty must pay the price for his actions!" Ergin was also so angry that he dropped his glass.

Wilson was also clamoring, but he didn't quite agree with everyone's ideas. In his opinion, the misfortune of the envoys was precisely the result of the evil tricks played by the Chinese before the coalition forces. During the Battle of Xinhe, the vanguard of the coalition army ran aground due to the low tide, and used the white flag to deceive the Chinese who were preparing to attack. The Chinese have suffered the loss of the white flag of the coalition army, so they no longer respect the white flag, and in the eyes of the Chinese, the white flag is just a ghost trick of the coalition army, and they will not be fooled again.

The Qing army camp in Tongzhou was also in a hustle and bustle, and the high-level people were all elated, and finally cleaned up the grandson of Pa Xiali, and let out a good breath of evil. And they really think that the military and political movements of the coalition forces are all drawn up by the Pashali, so they all think that it is of great significance to take the Pashali. Monk Lingqin even beat Pasha Li violently, forcing Pasha Li to give orders to the coalition forces to retreat. Pasha Li, who has no rights in this regard at all, can only follow the meaning of Monk Gelinqin and talk nonsense in addition to bearing the Mongolian iron fist of Seng Gelinqin.

Zaiyuan also felt that the victory was in his hands, and proudly wrote a note to Xianfeng, "The Yi Paxia is good at using soldiers, and all Yi have listened to his orders, and they have now been captured." The soldiers will be in turmoil, take advantage of this to suppress it, and forgive it will win! ”。

Pashali, a pure civilian who did not have the command of a single soldier and a soldier, became the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and the negotiatorial plenipotentiary in a daze, and he shouldered both civil and military responsibilities. It is also that Zaiyuan and others really don't understand the British system, otherwise Mr. Pashali would probably be honored to be named the British Prime Minister.

There were angry, happy, and excited, and Guo Xing'a in Gu'an City was extremely excited, and he finally got permission to move troops. Now that the name is justified, he doesn't have to pretend to be a bandit, he can play his eight-star sun flag, and let the foreign devils see the power of the traverser in a dignified manner.

Ji Ying is also an official addict, in order to be the head of the regiment, he also worked hard. Hungry people, beggars, ruffians, hooligans, he did not refuse to come, and he really pulled up a regiment in less than a month. Since Goxinga came to power, this army has been expanding almost every day, so what the army is best at is training recruits, and almost forming a recruit training assembly line. No matter where you come from, as long as you enter the barracks, every day is a training that drains your last bit of strength, and brainwashing that is enough to destroy all your brain cells. Deserters were to be executed mercilessly, violators were brutally abused, failure to meet the standards was punished tenfold, and within a month, the 2nd Infantry Regiment was repaired. The only thing that makes Ji Ying a little dissatisfied is that his backbone is too small, and the soldiers lack the murderous spirit from actual combat experience, and their combat effectiveness is still worrying.

Feng Sheng'a and others also found a way to make porcelain and openwork carvings, but in just a few days, even the original British could not make the Armstrong cannon. In addition to captured weapons of different calibers, in terms of artillery battles, Gohinga also had to rely on Napoleonic artillery and *. You can't win in quality, you can only follow the oriental tradition, and if you can't do it in quality, you can fight for quantity. Mass-produced * is the firepower of Goxinga's great war. Although the operation of the artillery is not complicated, it still has to be practiced for a while to fight well, *there is no such concern, and it can be operated with two kicks*. Guo Xing'a invested all the money in his hand, and the arsenal worked overtime to produce day and night, ensuring that Guo Xing'a could squander it on the battlefield.

With more than 10,000 troops and weapons at their current limits, Goxinga, who had received permission, was not in a hurry to send troops, and he had to greet a lovely friend. This unlucky guy who was targeted by Guo Xing'a is Zhu Duoyou of Gu'an Zhi County. The war that Guoxinga wants to fight is a national war, that is, a war for the emperor, a war for the emperor, and the money should naturally come out of the emperor. Although the small treasury of Guoxing'a is still holding on, it is almost unable to hold on, and it is time for the owner to shed some blood.

Guo Xing'a naturally couldn't go to Beijing to ask Xianfeng for money, but the emperor was the imperial court, and the imperial court was represented in Gu'an, that is, poor Zhu Duoyou Zhu. The verification of military salaries should be found in the military department and the management of the yamen, but the regimental training is to find a locality, Lao Tzu guards the border and protects the people, so he should naturally find your place to get money. Zeng Guofan and others themselves were also magistrates, and they were autonomous of local civil affairs, and they relied on collecting cents to support the troops. And Guo Xing'a is more embarrassed, his right to group training was originally given to him by Xianfeng to wipe his ass, and his innate authority is seriously insufficient, and there is no source of money and food at all. used to be completely supported by combat capture, but now that he has not fought for more than half a year, Guo Xing'a has always been eating his old book. Guoxing'a privately expanded the establishment infinitely and made a team of about 10,000 people, which was a very taboo thing, so he had to be a man with his tail between his legs before. Now that he has no such scruples, the court is going to use him, and it makes sense for him to recruit another 10,000 people. Guoxinga himself doesn't care about civil affairs, he can't get taxes, and it's not easy to find flag people to collect money. Naturally, you have to look for people who are in charge of civil affairs and can collect money from merchants.

"Lord Zhu, the foreign Yi is arrogant and rebellious, and the soldiers are coming to Gyeonggi, which is already a national disaster. The imperial court has issued an order for our troops to go to war, but this money and food are a little tight. Master Zhu also knows that the 10,000 people under my command have not spent a penny of the imperial court since they returned to Gu'an, and they are all raised by my Guowu family. I haven't wanted to cause trouble to adults and the fathers and elders in my hometown, but now that the fight is about to start, I really have no money, so I can only come to ask Lord Zhu to allocate some money and food to help. Guo Xing'a blocked Zhu Duoyou in the lobby of the yamen early in the morning, and opened his mouth to ask for money.

"It should be, it should be, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, Yun Shuai is stubborn and stubborn to go into battle to kill the enemy, and the lower officials should take over the food and grass of the army. It's just that Gu'an is barren and small, and I'm afraid it is not enough for the army. But Yun Shuai, you just have to say the number, the parents of Xiaguan and Gu'an are smashing pots and selling iron, and they will do their best to make it up. As soon as Guo Xing'a came to the door, Zhu Duoyou knew that he was in a catastrophe, so he could only pray that Guo Xing'a would not knock too hard.

"Thank you, Lord Zhu, 50,000 yuan each, what do you think?" Guo Xing'a just looked for Zhu Duoyou to respond to the emergency, and he really didn't want to blackmail him. Guo Xing'a put most of his head on the captured supplies of the coalition army and the rewards of the imperial court after the war, and did not care about Zhu Duoyou, a little mosquito leg.

"Fifty thousand quintals of grain, fifty thousand taels of silver?" Zhu Duoyou still trembled fiercely in his heart.

"Not much!" Guo Xing'a felt that it was really not much, and he didn't understand why Zhu Duoyou's face was white.

The number that Guo Xing'a asked for was his experience data of robbing other places, a county should probably have about 100,000 yuan of money and grain, and it was not too much for him to ask Zhu Duoyou for half of the national crisis. However, Guoxing's empirical data is the result of him scraping three inches of people's land, and it is also a salvage method of exhausting the fish, and not a single copper plate is left for others. Zhu Duoyou can't empty the treasury, and he can't give Guo Xing'a a sum of money, so 50,000 taels of silver and 50,000 quintals of grain are really a lot for him.

"Good! Yun Shuai rest assured, the next official will definitely be in place within three days! Zhu Duoyou crushed his back molars and agreed with difficulty.

As the saying goes, the previous life was not good, the county was attached to Guo, the three lives were evil, the provincial city of Guo was attached, and the evil was full of Ying, and the capital of Guo was attached. The so-called "Zhixian attached to Guo" means that the prefect and the prefect are in the same city, so that his every move will be restrained by the superiors, "exhausted", and completely without the prestige of the "parent official". "Attached to Guo Provincial City" means that the prefect, prefect, and governor are in the same city, and it is needless to say that the capital city is attached to Guo.

Zhu Duoyou's previous life is estimated to be between bad and good, he did not attach Guo, but he set up Gu'an, which has eight banners stationed. It is not easy to be a magistrate, and this is especially true in Gyeonggi, but it is different whether there is a garrison of the Eight Banners or not. These flag men are already difficult to deal with, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the magistrate when they cause trouble, and it is really head-scratching to mediate disputes.

The state capital and provincial capital are okay, and the local officials are also of high grade, at least they can suppress their officials, and his county town is unlucky. He is only a seventh-grade county, but the garrison leader is a fourth-grade, the grade is a lot higher than him and he has privileges, but he is exhausted on weekdays, and Hui Yang even beat him.

Zhu Duoyou's hard work finally consumed Hui Yang, thinking that if he changed to a little cub who didn't know the world, he would have a good life, and he thought that Guoxing Abi Hui Yang was an order of magnitude. Hui Yang is the fourth-grade official, Guoxing A has the title of the third-grade, and he is a famous general registered in front of the emperor. When Hui Yang's subordinates were at most, that is, more than 600, there were no bannermen left to eat and do anything. Guoxing Ah has a division of tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, from Jiangnan all the way back to Zhili, long-haired, twisted bandits, horse bandits, whoever you love, whoever comes, will kill whom.

Hui Yang is at most a bastard, but Guo Xing'a is a hob meat, whether it is in official or private, no one can afford to provoke him. When Guo Xing Ah first came back, Zhu Duoyou once wanted to test the water with Guo Xing Abi, but before he could fight, Zhu Duoyou was convinced. As soon as Guo Xing'a made trouble in Hexi, there was nothing in the entire Zhili officialdom that did not know, and no one dared to provoke this stunned young man. After all, everyone is just seeking wealth, and no one has a deep hatred, and they can't play with Guoxing'a.

This time, the Guoxinga lion opened his mouth, and Zhu Duoyou also had to agree. More than 10,000 horses are outside Chengwai! If you don't give it, Guo Xing'a can call someone in and get it himself. Now is the time for the imperial court to use troops, as long as Guo Xing'a can fight, even if Zhu Duoyou is killed, no one will pursue him.

"Thank you, Master Zhu!" Guo Xing'a thanked Zhu Duoyou, and then left in style.

Zhu Duoyou lived a life of chickens and dogs, and there was not so much money in the treasury at all. Zhu Duoyou could only loot the merchants in the city, but he still had to mix, and he didn't dare to offend everyone to death, and there were not many looted. In the end, Zhu Duoyou, who was helpless, could only open his small vault. After all, if the official is here, the money can be earned again, and if he provokes Guoxing, his official will be the end.

So when Guo Xing'a was happily counting the money, the rich people in the city were looking for Zhu Duoyou to make trouble, and his wife and concubine were also looking for Zhu Duoyou, and poor Lord Zhu also tasted the taste of ruining his family and relieving his difficulties.
