Chapter 282 Eight-Power Allied Forces Enter Tianjin
Wang Tian raised a thumb and said, "Awesome, this efficiency is, tsk... much faster than I thought."
"Okay, stop praising me, the king of heaven, the people from the Eight-Nation Alliance are about to arrive in Tianjin. I heard that the number of enemies this time is quite large." Yang Luchan said.
Wang Tian asked: "How many are there?"
"It's hard to say the specific number. The information I got said that this time the team was led by British Navy General Seymour. At the beginning, the total number was about 30,000, but later it increased. I don't know how much it increased. Among them, the eight countries sent the largest number of troops, up to 20,000! The remaining British, Russian, French, American, Italian, German, and Austro-Hungarian Empires were less than 10,000 people. Among them, the Austro-Hungarian Empire only sent more than 80 symbolically." Yang Luchan said.
When Wang Tian heard that the island country had sent so many people, a cold light flashed in his eyes! He used to remember only the war of aggression in China during World War II, but almost forgot that these people were also the main force of the invasion of China in the Eight-Nation Alliance. It can be said that the grudge between the island country and China was not in vain! China flourished, driving the island country prosperity without bullying. Once the island country flourished, it would bring pain to China, and the wound became bigger and bigger! Thinking of this, Wang Tiandao: "Brother Yang, this island country will inevitably be a major disaster in China in the future. I don't care about anything else. If I have the chance, I will destroy them!"
Yang Luchan obeyed Wang Tian. Since Wang Tian spoke, he naturally agreed.
Yang Luchan talked about many other situations of the battle. Wang Tian fell asleep and simply called to stop and went back to his room to sleep.
In the next few days, the wind was calm, but the entire sky of Tianjin City was filled with a murderous aura. The feeling of storm was about to come made me feel dull, and I also had a sense of fighting spirit in my heart, waiting for a gap to appear and burst out, crushing all enemies.
On September 16, 1825, Wang Tian arrived on the 12th day of 1825, and the weather was sunny!
A huge fleet of sixty warships on the sea slowly rose from the end of the sky. The bow of the ship was a man in British aristocratic costume stepped on the side of the ship with one foot and a gold-cast telescope in the other hand. He looked into the distance, and his mouth slightly raised, saying, "Tianjin is finally here."
"General Seymour, Tianjin is the gateway of the Qing Dynasty. As long as you open him, you will go straight to the capital." A man behind him said with a sinister look on his face. This person is nothing but Pierce who got out of the capital.
Seymour nodded and said, "Yes, when I break the gate of the capital, I will ask the dog emperor to kneel down and apologize to you! I want him to understand that even a pig from my British Empire is not something he can insult at will!"
When Pierce heard this, his face turned dark. Is he scolding him? Unfortunately, even if he scolded him, he had to endure it. Seymour was not something he could provoke.
Pierce squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you General Seymour."
Seymour waved his hand, "You're welcome, Mr. Pierce."
The deputy general next to him whispered: "General Seymour, along the way, the Qing government's resistance ability is very weak. With our troops and strength, we can choose a port to fight, why bother such a big circle? After delaying login for several days, the Qing government may have arranged heavy troops in Tianjin, and then..."
Seymour laughed and said, "Mr. Forres, you still don't understand this stupid, backward but rich country. This is a big fat pig lying on infinite wealth, and it's still the fat and unmovable way!" Speaking of this, Seymour gestured a very fat position, which made everyone laugh.
Seymour continued: "And we are the lions with sharp minions. Even if it knows that we are coming, it will still be only waiting for death!"
"General Seymour, I think it's better not to underestimate the enemy." Forres is obviously a scheming person.
Seymour shook his head and said, "This is of course. Our spies have already entered Tianjin City. According to the spies' reward, the governor of Zhili in Tianjin is a waste. His predecessor took away military pay for three years, and the local soldiers had long complained. The new governor of Zhili was not a Manchu, but a Han Chinese. The Qing government had a lot of defense against him and did not allocate funds. He even issued military pay. He lived in the forest outside the city with his army, and made some firecrackers in buckets all day long, making noises, and even claimed that they were practicing cannons! Haha... it was ridiculous..."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
Pierce quickly flattered: "They are indeed very weak in military affairs. When we went, the soldiers we saw along the way were still using big swords and spears. These people were a group of rude natives. As long as our strong ships and powerful ships leaned over, they would fire a shot. I promise that their soldiers would hold their heads and call God to run back to the bed and leave!"
"Ha ha……"
Everyone laughed again.
At this moment, a soldier ran over and said, "Mr. Seymour, you will be within range soon and request further instructions."
Seymour looked at the continent ahead and said relaxedly: "What are you waiting for? All ships loaded me with ammunition and targeted Tianjin Port! Bomb me! Let the Russians and islanders on the road immediately launch a sneak attack on the Dagu Fort! Take the Dagukou Fort, this Tianjin Port is a woman who stripped her clothes. What we have left is not the final say?"
"Haha..." Everyone laughed again.
Not long after, a sound of cannons sounded, and shells thrust into the port of Tianjin Port.
Almost at the same time, at the foot of the Dagukou Fortress Mountain, two groups raised their heads at the same time!
"Mr. Kishimoto, start! Kill!" A Russian jumped up and roared. A group of more than two hundred Russians rushed out with flintlock rifles and rushed up the mountain.
Seeing this, Kishimoto, a native of the island country, cursed; "Haga! For the sake of the Emperor, rush up!"
Hula, the islanders are not like Russians. The Russians are close to the Qing Dynasty and are very conspicuous. When there are more people, they are easily exposed, so there are not many people coming. However, the islanders are different. They are all yellow-skinned and dark-eyed. Although they are a little short, they are still relatively easy to pretend. Therefore, Kishimoto's shout rushed out more than a thousand people!
As the shouts of killing sounded, Wang Tian and Yang Luchan, who were playing chess on the Dagukou Fort, laughed at the same time.
Wang Tiandao: "These guys are really not afraid of death."
Yang Luchan said: "They don't know what is waiting for them here. The King of Heaven lets those ships bomb the port like this? No matter what, it is our port. If it is broken, it is also money."
