Chapter 222 Memories Burning the Old Summer Palace

By the way, the people in the capital knew it! Cixi, regardless of the lives of the people, took Emperor Guangxu and others to escape all the way to Xi'an.

At the same time! Li Hongzhang, an important minister in the court, made a slow progress in peace talks, and the coalition forces continued to burn, kill, rob and capture. The Qi brother's eyes spurted fire, holding a revolver, and wanted to fight with the coalition forces to the end. Even if the fish were broken, he would not hesitate.

.

Just as he was about to go out with the six monsters, Lao Zhengtou, who had been secretly looking around at the door, quickly pulled into his yard, and then let him go to the house without saying that he would not let the seventh brother do the enemy with the enemy and hit the stone with eggs.

Things are because it is a waste of death.

The seven monsters were so angry that they didn't know what Lao Zheng was going to do.

Lao Zheng, who was 79 years old at the time, was like a desert boat, dromedary camel, bent his back and tried hard to press Brother Qi to sit down on the chair.

After I was breathing well, I lit a pipe for him with a blushing face and thick neck. I also dug a pipe and a pot of tobacco leaves from my purse, ignited it with a tinder, took a sip and sucked it into my stomach.

.

After a long time, three streams of green smoke slowly spurted out from their mouths and noses, and they choked and coughed. Then they paused and said in an old and hoarse voice: "Child, you can't do it, listen to the old man's slowness.

Say it slowly.”

This old Zheng is actually not simple. He was extremely smart when he was young. He was a famous prodigy in Duofuli Hutong. He could write poems with adults at the age of eight! He became a scholar when he was young, but later due to a sudden change in family background, he was unwilling to continue his studies.

After taking the exam, I had to be a private school teacher all my life and exchanged two taels of silver to support my family.

Therefore, Lao Zhengtou is proficient in literature and history and has a very cultural foundation. When speaking, in addition to the spoken language of the older generation, he can also quote classics and is very gentle, and the literary combination of local and foreign.

Immediately afterwards, the Seven Monsters saw that Lao Zheng was trapped in extremely painful memories, half open his turbid eyes, his face full of misery and helplessness, and he raised his face with tears in his eyes, and said quietly like a ghost.

: "It was the tenth year of Xianfeng (that is, 1860), and the British and French forces attacked our old Beijing.

On October 6th that year, a day that I will never forget, the foreign devils occupied the Old Summer Palace. From the next day, the officers and soldiers began to smash and rob, like animals.

In order to make the Qing government accept the agreement quickly and the domineering conditions they put forward, the British team leader Erkin, and the British army commander Grant, because the Qing government once slapped Britain and France.

The prisoners were imprisoned in the Old Summer Palace as an excuse to order Lieutenant General Miqier to lead more than 3,500 large foreign devils to the Old Summer Palace on October 18, 1860.

In the British and French invading army, those foreign devils, like tigers and wolves, robbed the Old Summer Palace after they arrived at the Old Summer Palace, leaving it empty.

Later, in order to dismantle the stolen goods and cover up their crimes like animals, the British team leader Erkin, with the support of British Prime Minister Parmeston, blatantly ordered the burning of the Old Summer Palace.

At the same time, Gordon was also sent to carry out the terrible order to burn the Old Summer Palace. The fire burned for three days and three nights in a row, turning this world-famous garden into ruins and ruins.

The Chinese defenders were outnumbered and could not defeat others. Wen Feng, the general secretary of the Old Summer Palace, was helpless and unwilling to be a prisoner. He committed suicide by surrendering to Fuhai. Changpin, who lived in the garden, was frightened and died.

Two days after the British and French troops robbed, they continued to advance into the city.

On October 11 that year, the British army sent more than 1,200 cavalry and an infantry regiment to loot the Old Summer Palace again.

What is the plenipotentiary representative of Britain, James? Bruce, who used the excuse that the Qing government had imprisoned Bashali and others in the Old Summer Palace, included the burning of the Old Summer Palace as a prerequisite for the peace talks.

Speaking of this, Lao Zheng wiped his tears and snot, fell to the ground, sucked his nose and started crying, then took out a handkerchief that could not be seen clearly and wiped it, and continued to choke and said, "I remember it was October 10th."

On the eighth day, more than 3,500 British devils rushed into the Old Summer Palace and began to set fire.

The Old Summer Palace and the nearby Qingyi Garden, Jingming Garden, Jingyi Garden, Changchun Garden and Haidian Town were all burned into ruins by fire. There are nearly 300 eunuchs, palace maids, and craftsmen in Anyou Palace.

Burn to death.

Speaking of this, the Seven Tomb Raiders were already stunned because the oldest one was only 28 years old. The specific situation of the fire that burned the Old Summer Palace forty years ago is really not clear!

At this time, the angel girl, who was as careful as her hair, noticed that Brother Qi's eyes were blasting, with extremely angry flames burning, and her eyes were almost broken. She couldn't help but feel a little worried because he knew Brother Qi's violence well

Once the temper occurs, you are not afraid of destroying the world...

Brother Qi's eyes widened, his fists tightly clenched, his chest was fluttering violently, his eyes turned blood red, and a vein like an earthworm burst out from his neck. He continued to listen to Lao Zheng's talk about the fire.

Lao Zheng was excited and his movements were not flexible. He bent down and knocked the remaining sparks on the soles of his shoes, and then put the long cigarette pole into the cowhide purse. He dug a cigarette pipe to the pot with golden tobacco leaves.

, ignite with a scythe, took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and then continued to preach:

The Old Summer Palace, which is closely connected to the Summer Palace, was built in the 46th year of Kangxi (that is, 1709). Later, Emperor Kangxi gave this garden to his fourth son Yinzhen, who was later Emperor Yongzheng, and at the same time, he also

Give it the name of the Old Summer Palace.

Later, after more than 150 years of operation by five emperors, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang and Xianfeng, a large amount of material resources were concentrated and countless skilled craftsmen were used to carefully build it into a magnificent and beautiful palace.

Speaking of this, Lao Zheng's turbid eyes suddenly shone, and he became much more energetic! He sucked a few mouthfuls of tobacco leaves and said, "In this Summer Palace, people not only summarized many famous gardens and scenic spots in Jiangnan, but also

It has creatively transplanted Western garden architecture, gathering the great achievements of garden art in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

What a pity, they were all ruined by these foreigners who killed thousands of swords!

Speaking of this, Lao Zheng started to curse, his old face turned red, and his forehead also showed a tight blue blood vessel, and he coughed violently! He could hardly breathe! Finally, he vomited in a scary way.

The blood was on my feet, and the true energy was moved!

The sudden red blood vomited out of this beach, and the fishy smell, scared the seven tomb robbers who have been tested for life and death! They all stared like wooden chickens, staring at two eyes, looking at their clear minds and having amazing memory.

But Lao Zheng was so angry that he vomited blood, and was at a loss.
