The Travelers of the Heavens

On the Baliqiao battlefield, the fighting is still going on.

Eighteen thousand Kyushu troops besieged 4,000 Gaul soldiers.

In less than two-quarters of an hour, the disgraced General Montagny raised a white flag and asked for an armistice. At this time, there were still 2,000 Gallic troops left.

"Your country is fighting an undeclared war. I would like to protest to your country on behalf of Gaul." Montagnier said to Wang Duo, he was still arrogant.

"I'll hit you, so what?" Wang Duo didn't look at him, and just said this sentence in French

"You have to be responsible for your actions." Montagny felt that this was an insult to the Gallic soldiers, and he said angrily.

"Of course I will take responsibility for my actions. I just want to beat the Gauls. If you don't accept it, then please do it." Wang Duo's attitude became even tougher.

"You are challenging Gaul!"Montagne scolded

"I think General Montagny made a mistake, it is Gaul who is provoking us," Wang Duo said, and glanced at the surrounding officers.

"snort! Back then, you instigated the independence of our overseas dependent countries in an attempt to split our country. This account has not yet been settled clearly." Commander Liu understood and scolded Montagnier angrily.

"You are openly declaring war on the great Gaul," Montagnier said.

"This is an armistice and peace treaty. Go back and tell your king that he will only give me shoe polishing," Wang Duo said, taking a French document from a team-level officer and throwing it to Montagnier.

"you"

"see a visitor out!"

Montagny wanted to fight back, but Wang Duo drove him away.

The remaining Gaul troops were disarmed and then released. They could only summarily end the invasion of the Qing Dynasty.

"Prince, I don’t think that Western devil dares to come again. Even if he does come, he will negotiate for peace," Commander Liu said.

""Heh, I hope he can make a comeback. We need to fight opponents with guts, that would be interesting," Wang Duo said

"Haha, I think the Westerners are just a bunch of paper rags. As long as we use a little force, they will fall apart immediately," Commander Liu said very proudly.

"Commander Liu, please invite the British envoy." After a while, Wang Duo ordered

""Yes." Commander Liu went to make arrangements.

"Hello General, I am the British diplomat Parkes." The British envoy was invited to the tent of the temporary headquarters.

"Dear Mr. Parkes, do you have anything to explain to me about this war?" Wang Duo asked Parkes in a judge's tone.

"Um, this.. I think this war is a misunderstanding," Parkes said.

"Your country used the excuse that a businessman was killed and then brazenly launched a war. This is probably not a misunderstanding," Wang Duo said

"Misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding, I swear to God," Parkes pointed at the top of the tent and swore

"Mr. Parkes, please don’t make random oaths and be careful to fulfill them," Wang Duo joked.

"General, I ask for peace." After a moment of silence, Parkes said.

"Mr. Parkes, our army has no intention of fighting with you, but you and the Gauls shelled my ships off Tang Ku, causing a lot of casualties. This incident has aroused the great concern of my father, His Royal Highness. Pay attention, if it is not handled well, it may not be good for anyone," Wang Duo said bluffingly

"General, please listen to me. Our warships did not fire cannons. They were all shelled by the Gauls." When Parkes heard this, he didn't have time to think about the truth or falsehood, so he immediately blamed the Gauls.

"Oh, right, but the Gauls said it was you who were bombing our ships." Wang Duo took the opportunity to sow discord between Britain and France.

"How can these damn bastards slander Great Britain? General, our warships really didn't fire their guns. Please believe me. It's those Gallic bastards who are slandering us." Parkes explained while cursing the Gauls.

"Okay, okay, I am willing to believe Mr. Parkes' explanation, but the governor here is my brother. I don't know whether he believes it or not. In addition, I have to send someone back to report this incident to my father, but I hope he can also believe Mr. Parkes' explanation," said Wang Duo.

Westerners believed that Wang Qi's position as Protector of Anton was the same as that of a governor in the Western world. In order to facilitate communication, Wang Duo said that his brother was a governor stationed in the Qing Dynasty.

""So that's the case, then I request a temporary truce between the two sides, and at the same time I ask to see the Governor of your country," Parkesli said.

"Okay, we can cease the war, but I hope you can send important personnel to the capital to talk to my brother about this matter," Wang Duo said

"I will go back immediately to ask for instructions." Parkes said goodbye.

""Please," Wang Duo signaled.

The Capital, the Forbidden City's Yangxin Palace.

After learning the news that"foreigners will fight themselves", Emperor Xianfeng and the Manchu ministers hoped that both of them would suffer losses, and it would be best to annihilate the whole army together.

But obviously this is impossible. Yes, haven't you seen that there are 890,000 Kyushu soldiers with loaded ammunition stationed around the capital? Their number is several times greater than the Qing infantry commander's office and Fengtai camp combined, even if you add in the 10,000 soldiers of the Qing army general Shengbao. With the 30,000 fierce ancient cavalry of the Menggu Prince Seng Gelinqin, the Qing army is not as numerous as the Kyushu soldiers who stayed behind. What's more, the Kyushu soldiers also have a large number of various types of artillery and machine guns, so the Qing army is better than nothing.

If The Qing army was effective, but how could it be decimated by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and rely on local"regiment training" to deal with the Taiping army? How could Emperor Xianfeng be coerced by Wang Qi to rent half of the Old Summer Palace? Looking further afield, if the Qing army It works, then how could the Miyun Treaty be signed that year, which was a loss of power and humiliation to the country?》

"Report, report to the Emperor, urgent military report to Bali Bridge." A small official handed over a military report.

""Send it up." Emperor Xianfeng stretched out his hand.

Sushun took the military report from the petty official, then dismissed the petty official and forwarded it to Emperor Xianfeng

"Your Majesty, this battle report"After a while, Sushun asked tentatively

"Take a look." General Xianfeng reported to Sushun

""嗻" He responded solemnly and respectfully took the military report.

"What? Are the Gauls defeated? Will the British surrender too?"Sushun was a little surprised after reading the battle report.

Although he didn't know much about these two countries, after all, there was no"Yi Crow" base, but they were both foreigners, so they should be about the same. Why were Gaul and Britain so reluctant to fight? How long had it been since they were so directly involved? Collapse.

In fact, what the battle report said about"Britain's surrender" was a recording error, because the Qing secret agent only saw Parkes and others holding white flags to negotiate, and he took it for granted that this was surrender.

"Sushun, what do you think of this matter?" Emperor Xianfeng asked

"Back to the emperor, this servant thinks that no matter what the outcome is, it is always a good thing for foreigners to fight each other," Sushun said.

"How can this be a good thing when foreigners start a war on the land of the Qing Dynasty?" Emperor Xianfeng said

""Back to the emperor, although the war is on the land of the Qing Dynasty, it is better for foreigners to kill each other than to fight our Qing officers and soldiers," Sushun said

"Okay, let’s talk about this later." Emperor Xianfeng was really powerless to intervene in this matter.

""Come on!" all the ministers responded.

The temporary palace of the Old Summer Palace

"Okay, the eighth brother won the first battle, defeated the Gauls, and even fought the Britons to come to sue for peace. Well, it really strengthened our country." Wang Qi read the document and said with a smile

"Prince, the British have come to discuss peace, what kind of armistice conditions should we propose?" Foreign Affairs Director Huangfu Weiyan asked

"Well, we have no enmity with Britain. This time they were blinded by lard and got mixed up with the Gauls. Let them send me a few warships as compensation," Wang Qi said

"Is this too cheap for them?" Huangfu Weiyan said

"I see thisThat’s it," Wang Qi said.

""Yes," Huangfu said.

On the British side, Elgin personally came to the temporary residence of the Protectorate in the Old Summer Palace to negotiate with Wang Qi.

The atmosphere of the talks between the two parties was very good, and in the end the British side compensated two sailing battleships driven by steam engines and propellers to be stationed abroad. Navy, Britain officially withdraws from the war.
