At the same time, in the Xinyang Hall of the Qianqing Palace in Beijing, Xianfeng stared at the report in front of him, his hands and feet trembled!

In his hands, it was the urgent report sent by Gui Liang, the governor of Zhili, from Tianjin, claiming that a large number of Cantonese thieves had been found at the mouth of Dagu in Tianjin Prefecture, and thousands of thieves and warships and troop carriers had filled the entire Dagukou! It took half a day for the thieves to capture the Dagukou Fort, and more than 1,000 soldiers such as Da Nian, deputy general of the Dagu Association in Tianjin Town, and Guerrilla Dekui, were killed in battle.

"Rushing to the Dagukou Fort to support the Zhili Admiral Baoheng, light the enemy trespassing, led the Hebei Town General Soldier Leshan, Tianjin Town General Soldier Lan Li, Daming Town General Soldier Shi Rongchun and other 4,000 horsemen encountered 2,000 thieves halfway, a fierce battle occurred, and the 4,000 horsemen were defeated. The first part of the Daiming Town was almost wiped out, and the general soldier Shi Rongchun was also killed in battle, and the commander Baoheng led his troops to flee to Tongzhou. ”

"And Tianjin City has thieves to help the thieves attack the city. Before the minions could lead the troops to Tianjin City, they learned that Tianjin had been lost. The thief army is strong, it is estimated that the total strength is nearly 100,000 people, the muskets are sharp, and the soldiers of the green battalion of Zhili are weak and unable to resist, and the emperor is also asked to send flag soldiers to encircle and suppress the rescue. ”

"Smack!" Xianfeng couldn't stand it anymore and slapped the table suddenly!

On his right-hand side, there was already a memora, but it was a report from the Zhili Admiral Bao Heng, claiming that after he received the holy order, he rushed to the Dagukou Fort to support, but before he arrived at Dagu, he learned that the Dagukou had been broken by thieves. When he returned to Tianjin City, he saw that Gui Liang, the governor of Zhili, was leading the army and people to abandon Tianjin, he went to Tianjin as a cavalry to intercept the thieves who attacked Tianjin, and resisted 40,000 people with 4,000 horsemen, although he lost 1,500 horsemen, but killed more than 2,000 thieves, but the thieves were too many, and Gui Liang, the governor of Zhili, gave up Tianjin City and fled with his people, and finally had to retreat to Tongzhou because he was outnumbered.

"These dogs! The thieves and soldiers have all come to the capital, and they are still dog-eat-dog, passing the buck to each other! Xianfeng was so angry, but more than that, he was afraid!

He didn't expect that Su Shun's fear of the Cantonese thieves attacking from the sea would come true! The Cantonese thieves actually marched by sea and directly attacked the Gyeonggi stronghold of Zhili.

Moreover, it only took half a day to break through the impregnable Dagukou fort that Sushun and Guiliang, the governor of Zhili, said. And the 4,000 horsemen led by Baoheng, the commander of Zhili, encountered 2,000 foot soldiers of the thief soldiers, and in the field battle, they were defeated, and they were defeated and fled, and even the general soldiers in it died!

What else can Xianfeng say? He wanted to cry without tears! Since ancient times, I have never heard of a great defeat in a field battle of 4,000 horsemen and 2,000 infantry! Although on the one hand, it shows that the Naoli Green Battalion soldiers lack combat power, on the other hand, what makes him chill is that the combat power of the thief soldiers is very strong, and it is very likely that they are as elite as his Gyeonggi elite soldiers.

100,000 thieves! Xianfeng is really chilling from the bottom of his heart. He has no bottom in his heart, whether he can resist it. Now, he can only hope that the Mongol iron cavalry in Seng Glingqin and the Gyeonggi garrison will save the situation. Not only that, but he also sent an eight-hundred-mile expedited and ordered Shengbao, who was far away in Henan, to rush back to Beijing to return to the capital to help, although he knew that the transfer of Shengbao would lead to turmoil in the Central Plains, but he was helpless, and he couldn't care so much.

He learned that the Cantonese thieves had set out from Tianjin City and attacked the Beijing division along the North Canal, and he had no time to summon the Minister of Military Aircraft, so he directly ordered Prince Yi Zaiyuan and Zhili Governor Gui Liang to rush to the North Canal to negotiate peace with the Cantonese thieves and test whether the leader of the Cantonese thieves could accept the court's recruitment. At the very least, it is necessary to let the thieves temporarily retreat, drag the thieves, and delay their attack on the capital, so that the army mobilized by the imperial court can come to the rescue.

Xianfeng really has no choice. The large-scale attack of the Cantonese thieves this time, the actions of Gui Liang, the governor of Zhili, and Bao Heng, the governor of Zhili, disappointed him very much, and now he can only hope for the Qing Dynasty's fierce general Seng Lingqin.

…….

Several clippers were taking the lead in exploring the way, four warships with a displacement of more than 100 tons took the lead, and more than 80 warships with 200 small baggage boats sailed on the Baihe River, heading upstream, urgently needing to march towards the Beijing Division.

On both sides of the White River, the Ninth Division, as the vanguard, opened the road all the way in front of the official road, and sent scouts to search for the traces of the Qing Demon. Now, Tan Shaoguang, as the commander of the Ninth Division, is already eager to fight. After a few days of marching, every day was boring, not only Tan Shaoguang was annoyed, but several infantry regiments under his command were even more annoying.

Except for the 3rd Infantry Regiment led by Zhang Ying, which defeated the cavalry of Admiral Zhili, the rest of the infantry regiments of the 9th Division of the First Division did not make an inch.

Tan Shaoguang hated it even more. The Ninth Division finally grabbed a striker, or a soldier trained by the Holy King himself, he wanted to kill the enemy and fight well, and play a majestic role, but he didn't expect that the Qing Demon would simply flee all the way, and there was no resistance at all. The captive army advanced unimpeded all the way, and after passing Xianghe County in front, it arrived at Tongzhou and entered the range of the Beijing Division.

In fact, it was just Tan Shaoguang, who was belligerent at the front, that the Chinese army and the rear-facing troops were not annoyed by the carriage or walking, marching on the official road on the riverbank, not only annoying, but in a comfortable mood.

The rolling hills spread out in the sky, and in this beautiful scenery, the soldiers of the captives marched very comfortably. At this time, the weather is no longer hot, the climate is beginning to be a little cool and pleasant, plus the supply of military food is sufficient, next to the small town passed, there are local vegetables, sweet potatoes and small fish and shrimp for sale, and even locally produced grapes and other fruits, the logistics department Zhou Shengfu organized a group of logistics soldiers and people, bought a lot, and handed them over to the divisions as food welfare, so that the soldiers of the rear army of the Chinese army rejoiced.

Just when everyone thought that there would be Qing soldiers to block it when they reached Tongzhou, the North Canal turned around and came to the territory of Xianghe County.

Tan Shaoguang and a cadre from the division headquarters of the Ninth Division were moving forward boringly, suddenly, there was a commotion in front, and then the deputy company commander of the division headquarters herald company in front ran over, saluted a military salute, and said: "Report to the division commander, outside Xianghe County ahead, a large number of Qing soldiers were found, as well as a large group of cavalry. ”

Tan Shaoguang was overjoyed and exclaimed: "Great! Sending military merit is coming! Brothers, stay vigilant, check your guns, and get ready to kill the demons! After joking, Tan Shaoguang hurriedly ordered to send a herald to inform the Eighth Division behind that there were enemy troops in front and were ready to support at any time.

After traveling four more miles, Tan Shaoguang had already vaguely seen the figure in front of him, he took out his clairvoyance and looked at it, and it was immediately visible. It is indeed the Qing soldiers, and a large group of cavalry is rushing towards this side.

Tan Shaoguang was just about to give the battle order, but the cavalry stopped. More than 100 people at the front waved white flags and waved at the Ninth Division!

"White rejoice! No credit again! Tan Shaoguang smiled bitterly at the chief of staff of the division beside him: "It turns out that the Qing Demon is here to surrender!" ”
