However, the stalemate in the palace did not last long, because after the First and Second Regiments completely captured the city gates from the north and south, they only left a small number of troops to guard the city gates, and then immediately commanded other troops to come to the palace.

At this time, the two regiments had already known the situation in the palace, so they did not rush into the palace to participate in the war, but first dispatched troops to capture the four gates of the imperial city. Before this, among the gates of the imperial city, only the Meridian Gate was controlled by a battalion, and the other three gates, Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate, and Shenwu Gate were all controlled by the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, there were not many troops guarding the city gate, and there were only dozens of people garrisoning each gate, and there were basically no army garrisoning on the remaining city walls.

After the First and Second Regiments arrived at the Imperial City, they easily captured other city gates and sent some soldiers to garrison on the city walls, setting up various rifles, machine guns, and cannons, but the muzzles and guns were all aimed at the palace. Then the First and Second Regiments concentrated the remaining troops and jointly attacked the Eight-Nation Alliance in the palace from the north and south ends.

Luo Yue also received an order from the regiment headquarters in Wenhua Hall, requiring them to participate in the battle and cooperate with the regiment headquarters to attack the Eight-Nation Alliance. At the same time, he also notified Luo Yue that if any soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance surrendered, they would no longer kill them, and they could accept the surrender of the coalition soldiers and contain prisoners.

In fact, the time travel warriors are all from modern society. The concepts and education they receive are quite different from this era. They are generally unwilling to kill enemy soldiers who surrender on the battlefield. Of course, the time travel warriors also know the importance of this battle. In the situation just now, they really cannot accommodate prisoners. But the situation is different now. The overall situation in Beijing will be determined, so the People's Army also has enough spare time to accommodate prisoners. Moreover, the more prisoners captured now, the more beneficial it will be for future negotiations with various countries.

So Luo Yue also ordered the entire battalion to attack, cooperate with the entire regiment to attack the Eight-Nation Alliance, and also conveyed to the various units that the Eight-Nation Alliance could accept the surrender of the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, this time Luo Yue did not participate in the battle and command the operations, but stayed in the Wenhua Palace to count the losses and results. Because this battle reached this point, the People's Army had basically decided the overall situation and could also accommodate prisoners. Therefore, there was no difficulty in the remaining battles in the palace, and there was no need for Luo Yue to command himself.

Since the US military took the initiative to retreat from Wenhua Hall, unlike other Eight-Nation Alliance Commands, there was no battle in Wenhua Hall. Apart from the doors and windows destroyed by artillery fire, walls and eaves that were pierced. Moreover, the US military retreated lightly and did not take away much except for the items that the soldiers carried. A lot of supplies were left in Wenhua Hall, which were plundered by American soldiers in China, and were all left in Wenhua Hall, piled in several rooms.

The battle just now was going on, and Luo Yue occupied the Wenhua Palace and did not check it carefully. However, Luo Yue also knew that the property looted by the Eight-Nation Alliance had long been reserved by the Time Travel Group, so when he had time, he happened to see what the US military had snatched something. Moreover, the rooms used by the US military to accumulate and robbed were all at the back of the Wenhua Palace, and they were not hit by artillery fire and were basically intact.

So Luo Yue led his men to open the door of a room, and saw that it was filled with various silk fabrics, fur, silver, gold, jade ornaments, jewelry, embroidered clothes, porcelain, utensils of various materials, etc. There were also several wooden chairs, some of the tables were packed with boxes, sacks, and cloth bags, but most of them were scattered, and many of them were broken, but they were only dazzling.

After watching several rooms in a row, they were all similar. Although Luo Yue is not an antique player, he also knows that except for precious metals such as silver and gold, these other things are royal treasures. If they are taken into the old time and space, they are worth at least hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of millions, it is not impossible. Even in this era, these treasures are valuable.

Looking at the treasures piled up like rags, Luo Yue was also filled with emotion. If it weren't for his group of people who unexpectedly traveled to this era, then these treasures would have been taken away by foreigners soon after, and then they would have been overseas, either privately collected or for exhibition in museums. After several years, when China's national strength recovered and strong, it would have to pay hundreds or thousands of times the price to redeem a wounded treasure. Of course, some of them may never be able to return to China. However, although the time travelers have changed the result of the Gengzi Kingdom Change, the time of competition was too short and the foundation was not solid, and they were still unable to change the state of the entire Chinese semi-feudal and semi-colonial state. Therefore, the time travel group still has a long way to go.

Just when Luo Yue was feeling the truth, a soldier came to report to Luo Yue that Li Zhuangyong, the squad leader of the second platoon and third squad of the first company, disobeyed the order and killed the Eight-Nation Alliance soldiers who surrendered to the People's Army. Now he has been disarmed by the company commander Ban Xiaowei and taken to Wenhua Hall to ask the battalion headquarters to deal with it.

After listening to the report, Luo Yue couldn't help but be both annoyed and angry. In fact, Luo Yue still attaches great importance to Li Zhuangyong and intends to focus on cultivating him, because Li Zhuangyong has good personal qualities, is trained seriously, fights very bravely, fights and fights, and Li Zhuangyong has some leadership skills. Although he has not been in the army for a long time, he has already had some appeal in the army. However, in terms of ideological improvement, Li Zhuangyong is far from being able to improve his ideas. Every time he studies politically and reports on his thoughts, Li Zhuangyong is perfunctory and confronts him. Li Zhuangyong also has many slandering words about the military disciplines formulated by the People's Army and disagrees with them.

The biggest difference between the People's Army formed by the Time Traveler and the army of this era is that it attaches importance to ideological education and transformation of soldiers, making them different from the old army. Therefore, Li Zhuangyong's thoughts obviously do not meet the requirements needed by the Time Traveler.

However, Luo Yue felt that Li Zhuangyong's quality was good. If he was well trained, he would be a good local officer in the future. However, Li Zhuangyong's thoughts were not improved enough. Now Li Zhuangyong is still a squad leader and has not been promoted to platoon leader, which has a certain relationship with this. Moreover, in this war on the attack on Beijing, Li Zhuangyong was very brave, and Luo Yue also saw it. Therefore, he planned to promote Li Zhuangyong to platoon leader after the war ended. Of course, he also had to do more of his ideological work to help him improve his ideological understanding as soon as possible. However, Luo Yue did not expect that before the war on the attack on Beijing, Li Zhuangyong made a big mistake. It also made Luo Yue's favor for Li Zhuangyong disappear most of the time.

It turned out that after receiving the order to contain prisoners from the Eight-Nation Alliance, Li Zhuangyong was very unhappy because from the beginning of the battle, Li Zhuangyong had been thinking about killing more foreigners to avenge the brothers of the Boxer Rebellion. Therefore, from the start of the war to the present, Li Zhuangyong has been extremely brave, regardless of life and death, leading by example. Li Zhuangyong himself calculated that he killed four foreigners and stabbed three with bayonets to kill them, and he was quite happy to kill them.

Now that he was surrounded by a large number of foreigners in the palace, he could kill a few more foreigners, so he was so excited that he did not expect that the troops had issued an order to contain prisoners, which made Li Zhuangyong feel resentful.

Li Zhuangyong has been in the People's Army for more than two months. He also knows a little about the People's Army and the time travel group. He knows that the People's Army has captured a large number of foreign soldiers and prisoners in previous battles, but they are not killed. Although these prisoners have to work every day, they are not vague in two meals a day and have meat every meal. I heard that they are very caring for several foreign officers, so they are allowed to live in a restaurant, and eat, drink and treat every day.

In fact, the People's Army's prisoner policy is also part of the soldiers' political learning. On the one hand, it is to give soldiers a different humanitarian spirit, and on the other hand, it is also to explain to the soldiers repeatedly that keeping these prisoners can not only give the time travel group free of charge, but also ask for redemption fees from all countries when negotiating with other countries in the future. Therefore, it is better to keep these prisoners than to kill them.

After hearing these explanations, most of the soldiers were able to understand the prisoner's policy of the time traveler, but Li Zhuangyong still couldn't let it go. In his opinion, he should kill all the prisoners. As for the cost of not doing coolies, he could ignore them. Therefore, he also said some prisoners in the army, but he could not get the response from other soldiers, so he felt bored, so he had to keep it in his heart.

However, at this time, Li Zhuangyong did not intend to disobey this order. Although he had strict requirements on the military discipline of the People's Army and had made many slight remarks, after all, he had been in the People's Army for more than two months and knew that the strict military discipline of the People's Army was not just a statement, but definitely a serious one. Li Zhuangyong still wanted to continue in the People's Army, so he really did not dare to blatantly disobey military discipline.

Moreover, only if the enemy surrenders to the People's Army on his own initiative will he accommodate prisoners. If the enemy does not surrender but continues to resist, it will naturally not be considered a prisoner. In the battle to attack Zuoanmen, the performance of the Japanese soldiers who would rather die than surrender left a deep impression on Li Zhuangyong. Therefore, he believed that foreigners would probably not surrender so easily, so he still had the opportunity to kill more foreigners.

However, after the People's Army's full attack began, the situation of the war was greatly beyond Li Zhuangyong's expectations. Because the sky had been completely bright at this time, the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the palace could clearly see that the number of the People's Army increased significantly. Even the walls of the Imperial City were arranged, and guns were also installed. At this time, anyone understood that if this battle had been lost, the overseas Chinese army must have controlled Beijing and surrounded the Imperial City.
