The foreign soldiers did not encircle Tianjin. His troops entered the city but did not fight with the foreigners. Because it was the order of Fengjian aircraft, they went to Beijing to shell the embassy. Even the Flying Tiger Regiment along the way did not obstruct its operations.

When he entered the city, the sun was about to set, and the troops could only set off tomorrow. Zhao Guanhou brought a team of men and visited the Li family at the water ladder. Li Rongqing was as strong as before, and his power was much greater than before. Of course, this was due to Li Xiushan and the foreign guns that Zhao Guanhou brought him, which greatly increased the power of the Li family. Various scattered soldiers and raiders came to join him, and even some religious people hid in the Li family to enjoy protection.

In the Li family's warehouse, there are also rifled guns, Minnie guns and ammunition extracted from the arsenal. In addition to the part that was loaded and shipped to Shandong, a large part of the smoothbore guns were sold to foreigners in the concession by Mrs. Jason, and the rest were armed with the Li family's servants' guards to protect the courtyard. Jason did not move these good guns, but were left to Zhao Guanhou. In addition, Jason did not move the grenades and grenades stored here, and the Li family had no effect. This time, they were all extracted and put in Beijing for backup.

After changing clothes here, Zhao Guanhou's troops have achieved rifling of all members, and the equipment rate of Minnie guns has exceeded 30%. At present, even the troops of the great powers may not be so luxurious.

As the leader of the big pot, Li Rongqing was extremely energetic on the ground. Even when the Flying Tiger Group was domineering, he could mobilize dozens of large trucks to ship all these materials onto the truck, and the dispatch was fine. Zhao Guanhou was still thinking about going to the concession to see Mrs. Jiansen. However, there were already clouds in the Zizhu Forest, and the mines were buried outside the concession, so he didn't even dare to approach them casually.

The power plant built in Jinjiajiao was set on fire by the people from the Flying Tiger Regiment. The degree of equipment damage was unknown, but the workers ran away and could not provide electricity. The concession was pitch black and the situation was not clear. Some people from the Cao Gang said that many fortifications have been built in the concession, and a large number of foreign soldiers have already been prepared to join the formation. The foreign soldiers dared not take the initiative to attack, but if the Jin soldiers want to attack, it may not be cheap.

He went to find Jiang Fengzhi, but he didn't expect to die. There were only a few familiar brothers left behind in the Taigong Hall. It was said that Jiang Fengzhi was patrolling the city with a red light, and Jiang Budao went to lead his troops to check the night. The man was very enthusiastic about defending Tianjin this time, and he had never considered whether he was a soldier or whether he could resist the foreign gun. Everyone was fiddling with his sword, waiting for a command to meet with the foreigners. The entire Taigong Hall was now immersed in an excitement.

The news that made him feel relieved was that because Taigongtang invited Jiang Ziya to the upper body, once this god arrived, his gods would retreat, so he would not act with other flying tiger groups. I think this would not be dangerous, so Zhao Guanhou was slightly relieved.

Zhao Guanhou was nervous and since he couldn't find it, he had to give up. He took a simple night off and led his troops out of Tianjin early the next morning and headed straight to the capital.

Along the way, there were not many infantry soldiers in the Wuwei Front Army, and there were people from Flying Tiger Regiment everywhere, holding flags and carrying swords and guns in their hands to set up formations on the roadside. Fortunately, they knew that this team was going to Beijing to serve the king and had no intention of attacking, which saved a lot of trouble.

Yu Qing was a little surprised and looked around for "Why didn't Cheng Gongting's front army see the flying tiger regiment everywhere?"

"Cheng Gongting is still dismissed and stayed in office to wait for his crimes. He is very sad to go to this crisis. The commander was wronged and his morale was low. The Wuwei Front Army was afraid that he would have no morale or intention to be on duty. Besides, I heard from Mr. Li that Cao Futian and his subordinates recently captured the Wuwei Front Army on the street and were killed immediately after he was caught. He avenged the revenge in Langfang before the foreign enemies arrived, and the Wuwei Front Army was in such a stir. The Wuwei Front Army did not dare to fight back, so he had to go back to the camp to protect himself. Compared to this, I think that there are people in the Wuwei Front Army practicing boxing, which is a little more trouble. At that time, the military and fist are not divided, and it will look the same as the Wuwei Front Army, and even the main general will be difficult to mobilize."

Yu Qing was silent for a moment, raised his head and said, "I admire the actions of Lord Lafayette throughout his life. Only this time, I don't agree with it from the bottom of my heart. If you enter Beijing, it's better to find Pi Ni Li. As long as he can convince Lord Lafayette to first organize the people of the Communist Party and then handle peace talks, I will give him my dowry of 200,000."

"Now I'm afraid that Pi Ni Li or Lafayette may not be able to save the situation." Zhao Guanhou sighed, "I beat Clinder to death. This matter is not that simple. I don't know how much trouble will happen in the future. In short, it's the Duan Mansion that ruins the country and harms people. I'm afraid no one can make up for such a big mess."

When the soldiers arrived in Tongzhou, they found that this place had been occupied by the Flying Tiger Corps. The flag was flying above the city, not the Yellow Dragon Banner. Pulling the flag was like rebellion. The behavior of removing the Yellow Dragon and replacing the Flying Tiger was no different from treason. In the daytime, the city gates were closed tightly. If you want to enter the city, you actually had to verify the official documents and wait. This was absolutely not the case in the past.

After a while, a large red Luo umbrella was cast on the top of the city, and a middle-aged man stood under the umbrella and looked at the city. "What are you going to do when you enter the city...?"

"What are we doing? We are going to go to Beijing to serve the king through Tongzhou."

"There are more than 100,000 people in the capital, so there is no need for foreign soldiers. Besides, I think that many of the weapons you bring are foreign guns and cannons, and foreign money is still being pulled in the car. These are obviously Ermao soldiers. If you let you enter Beijing, you may help. If you want to enter the city, unless you put down all the guns and cannons you bring, you can pass by, but foreign goods are not allowed. If you don't agree, just think of your own way."

What he meant was to disarm the artillery battalion. Otherwise, he would refuse to pass through the city and would never open the door. Zhao Guanhou was ordered to enter Beijing by military aircraft, and even local officials in Tongzhou had no right to disarm the artillery battalion. This requirement was not only rude, but also lawless.

Zhao Guanhou's face turned cold, "These people are simply lawless. Have you compared themselves to the government? Get ready to drive the cannon."

The six cannons actually had a hard time playing any role in the city walls of Tongzhou, but with his order, no one of his subordinates dared to disobey. The six cannons lined up and Minnie rifles were all aimed at the top of the city. Obviously, with the order, they would attack with force.

Zhao Guanhou shouted: "I am a second-rank official of the court. I am ordered by the emperor to go to Beijing to serve the king. Whoever dares to stop me, I will immediately rectify the Dharma. Prepare to... fire the cannon!"

Two six-pound cannons, four three-pound cannons bombarded in sequence, and three-pound cannons fired solid bullets, and two six-pound cannons shot grenades. The soldiers also set off a row of guns at the top of the city, and the smoke filled the guns and the smoke rose. The city walls of Tongzhou were quite strong, and six shells could not be smashed at all. However, after the guns and cannons fired, there were no people on the top of the city, leaving only a bunch of flags.

Zhao Guanhou waved his hand and said, "Prepare the ladder and attack me."

His special artillery battalion originally contained a scepter of engineers. The ladders were ready-made and temporarily spliced ​​and used. However, the number of ladders was very small, with only six or seven. It was actually not clear to face so many flying tiger regiments.

Without saying a word, Huo Qiu snatched a cloud ladder and took the lead. He bit a steel knife in his mouth and climbed up the cloud ladder quickly. When he was about to arrive at the top of the city, he jumped up and raked his two revolvers in his hands and shot each of them. When his figure fell, several soldiers had already climbed up the top of the city and were not attacked. After a while, Huo Qiu's body poked out from the top of the city and said, "Run! They all ran away!"

The city gate was opened, and the two battalions of officials entered the city one after another. The people in the city did not dare to open the door at first. After knocking on the gongs of the government army several times, they bravely opened the gap. After confirming that it was the government army, they shouted: "Officers and soldiers, what are they coming are really officers and soldiers."

Tongzhou was originally a key area for transportation, with many yamen and many merchants, and it was a first-class prosperous place. After the transformation of the canal and return to the sea, it was not as prosperous as before, but it was also a lively place. But now, the market is depressed and sparsely populated, and a lively place has become a deserted grave.

There were not many gentry left in the county town. The county magistrate locked himself in the back hall of the yamen and was on a hunger strike, waiting to starve himself to death. When he saw Zhao Guanhou, he was like meeting a relative, and he started crying with his sleeves.

It turned out that since the declaration of war, the Flying Tiger Group, which was originally very arrogant in Tongzhou City, became more and more arrogant. They asked the yamen for weapons, money and food, but once they could not handle it, they drew out their swords and slashed them randomly.

Later, he simply took over the entire city defense, and put all the green camps that were originally stationed here, and then robbed the county warehousing.

The imperial court had two official warehouses in Tongzhou called "Jingcang" and "Tongcang". The "white grain" in Jiangsu is glutinous rice, which is used for sacrifices and salaries for princes and officials, and is transported here. After the grain was changed to the sea, the grain stored in the two warehouses was more than 500,000 stones.

At this time, the rural economy in the north of Dajin had gone bankrupt. The main members of the Flying Tiger Group were farmers who were desperate because of the crops that were not harvested and had no food at home. How could they not be moved when they saw so much rice and grain? When they saw the granary, they were like seeing the treasure house. From top to bottom, they all transported rice and stored grain to their homes. In less than half a month, they transported more than 500,000 stones of official rice.

After robbing all the stored grains and robbing the big households, it was difficult to save them. After all, foreign goods were widely circulated at this time, and it was not without evidence to say who was the Ermao. Therefore, the plunder of the Flying Tiger Group became more and more at ease. At least in their opinion, it was always legitimate to take away Ermao's property.

The county magistrate was unable to stop it and was responsible for defending the territory. There was no better way except to go on a hunger strike. However, the official warehouse of the Flying Tiger Regiment was naturally afraid of the official army's suppression, so he simply defended the government and wanted to keep the official army out of the door. To suppress the artillery battalion's equipment, it was just a means of preventing the artillery battalion from attacking them.

After hearing this, Yu Qing said angrily: "It's reversed! It's simply reversed! He dares to be so arrogant forty miles away from the capital. This is still the world of the Great Jin Kingdom. Is there any other way to the king's law in this way?"

Zhao Guanhou's face was also very serious, "They not only have no kingly laws, nor the court. If the old Buddha wants to use them to fight foreigners, this abacus is probably bad. In fact, this group of people not only have no magic, but also have no courage. When they have nothing, they may still have three points of courage. Now that they have snatched the big family and have money in their waists, they are afraid of death. Our row of guns did not kill a few people, and they have no signs of escape. No matter how many such soldiers there are, what's the use? It seems that we have to speed up and enter Beijing early. Contact Brother Cao and their four battalions first. At this time, our own troops must unite to avoid being implicated by them!"

The artillery battalion was slow to be placed behind. The Flying Tiger Regiment plundered many large carts of animals for several days, but he was in a hurry to escape and many animals could only be discarded. After the Right Army seized it, it unloaded the supplies on the cart and modified the military capital. At the same time, the foot strength was ridden by infantry. Zhao Guanhou led Huo Qiu's fast gun post to Beijing first, and the rest of the troops then advanced to the capital.

From Tongzhou to Beijing, it was the defense ground of the Wuwei Houjun Army. However, on the road, there were no more rear troops, only the Flying Tiger Regiment. The Wuwei Houjun Army has been guarding the poor land in the northwest for a long time. Once he arrived at the world of flowery flowers in the capital, he almost thought he was in a dream. Then, he was unwilling to stay on the road without any oil and water, and they all rushed into the capital. It was not surprising.

Zhao Guanhou asked, "Yuqing, have you sent a letter to the prince?"

"I asked Jinzhong to set out first. He has skill in his body and is also meticulous, so he will not make any mistakes. Since Ama has not been sent back, I think there is no obstacle. Otherwise... he will be angry with us and doesn't want to talk to us."

"That's not. At this moment, the prince is not angry and will not care about these things. I'm just afraid that the prince's messenger will not be able to leave the city, so that's the trouble."

When the team was about to arrive at the Jianzhan near the capital, they saw an inconspicuous broken car parked on the side of the road. A man was looking at the side of the road. When he saw their team, he immediately flew out and blocked the road. Yu Qing hurriedly stopped his horse. Zhao Guanhou had already recognized the person, "Jin Zhong?"

Gao Jinzhong wore a hat on his head and a few plasters on his face. He thought he was hiding well, but he didn't expect to be called out in one sentence, so he secretly praised him. He gave the two men a gift first, and pointed to the broken car again. "Uncle Zhen is in the car, and he is in the prince's order. There is something important to wait for you."

Chengzhen used to be a playboy who paid great attention to food and clothing, but today, he dressed up as a farmer in the countryside, with a pot of ash on his face and a pillow stuffed behind him as a hunchback. He was not a very familiar person and could not recognize him. When he drove Yuqing out of the mansion that day, Chengzhen said a few good words and his attitude was pretty good, so Yuqing didn't feel any disgusted with him. After meeting, he asked, "Why are you dressing like this?"

"Girl, brother-in-law, I'm dressed like this and it's Ama's order. I'm afraid that Duan Er will recognize me! I'll tell you that it's time to come, don't mention anything, and quickly lead troops into Gong Baojia."

"Preserve? Who wants to offend, who is so brave?"

Cheng Zhen slapped his thigh, "Who else, it's the one on Zujia Street! The capital is going crazy lately, and there are nonsense everywhere, saying that if you want to defeat foreigners, you have to kill one dragon, two tigers, three hundred sheep. One dragon means long live, two tigers, Ama and Han Rong. As for the three hundred sheep, that is, all the big and small civil and military officials in the entire capital, and they also say that only eighteen of these people can live, and the others will die. You think, isn't this a kingly law? The old Buddha scolded the eldest prince a few days ago and said, "I can."

It is very common to establish you and destroy you. However, after Duan Er heard this, he joined forces with a group of thieves from the Flying Tiger Group to perform a deed. Ama had already found out that Duan Er colluded with the eunuch and stole one of the twenty imperial seals hidden in Jiaotai Hall in his hand, and contacted the Flying Tiger Group. He wanted to do usurpation and killing first, and then secretly hid the imperial seal, stamped the imperial seal, and fake the imperial edict to the later. Fortunately, you came, otherwise Ama would not find the soldiers."

"Where is Han Rong? Where is the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion?" Zhao Guanhou was worried that his fourth battalion troops would make mistakes. If that were the case, his situation would become more and more single in the capital. Not only would he not be able to save his troops, but his own safety would also become a problem.

"Han Rong is not good at it. The military guards in his hands are all the same masters as me. They fight crickets and birds, and listen to operas and sing books by their children. If you really say that there are three people who can't fight the military guards. Besides, Duan Er is wearing a dragon jacket, who dares to hurt him? The old Buddha cursed Dong Wuxing yesterday. Han Rong was afraid that Dong Wuxing would not be able to escape his thief. What happened? Your four battalions of soldiers are monitoring Dong's rear army. Two stalemates are also a stalemate. Besides, a few soldiers who lead the troops are not brave enough, so they will be unable to stop Duan Er."

Zhao Guanhou knew that King Qing was very treacherous and wanted to protect the two palaces, but he did not want to be hated by King Duan. Therefore, Chengzhen disguised his travel notice and was also prevented from leaking news. It was not easy to come to deliver the letter, and he could not count on others. So he said to Yuqing: "Take a few people and escort Mr. Zhen back to Beijing. Send someone to find Brother Cao and the others, and wait for me to meet near Xiyuan."

"And you?"
