The commander of the British army, Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor, actually had a premonition that Guangzhou could not be defended, and once it was out of the protection of Guangzhou, he could only retreat to Hainan Island, and Lord Ruilin, the governor of Liangguang, also had plans to retreat to Guangxi with the remnants of his more than 10,000 people.This meeting has not yet begun, and in fact, secretly in the minds of each side of the evil intentions, in fact, secretly, has already split.Present at the joint meeting of the British and Qing forces were Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor, commander of the British army, Lord Ruilin, the governor of Liangguang, the governor of Guangdong, the commander-in-chief of each town, the general, the adjutant general, the colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major of the British army, totaling more than 40 people.They were all dressed like dogs, but their faces were dull, and it had only been three days, and the invincible British army was in despair.Crash.A pile of leaflets was sent out from the opposite side of the Governor's Palace, scattered everywhere.The commander of the British army, Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor, frowned and picked up one from among the several leaflets that had drifted into the window of the governor's yamen.It reads: Down with British imperialism, expelling the Qing court, and picking up another one, which reads: Defend the president, defend China, expel the Tartars, and swear to defend China.No matter how powerful the army is, it can't withstand the toss of pig teammates like the Qing court, and besides, the British army must be absolutely alien on Chinese soil, which is an objective factor that is unfavorable to the British army.And Ruilin was full of complaints about the commander of the British army, Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor, Ruilin believed that if there was no British participation, his Qing army of more than 50,000 people would still be able to maneuver with Xuan Yuemeng's Chinese army in the whole of Guangdong.If the British don't come, Ruilin himself alone will be able to call on Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi, and Guangdong to raise at least more than 100,000 soldiers and horses everywhere, and really use the Qing court's own strength to open a posture and fight with Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Yuemeng may not be able to consume in Guangdong for a long time, and it will be compromised after all.Of course, if that is the case, the Qing court will not have the strength to consume for a long time, let alone take Hong Kong, and the two sides should end up in a peace negotiation, but the initiative is definitely still in the hands of the Qing court, and now it is different.The news that the British and Qing coalition forces were killed and wounded in less than three days, and more than 40,000 casualties had already shocked the whole world, although the Chinese army also had the same number of casualties and did not have an advantage, but in people's minds, the British army's victory seemed to be a matter of course, and it was a matter of course, and a draw was defeated, not to mention that the British army was beaten by the Chinese army and retreated continuously, and a large number of British Enfield 1866 rifles fell into the hands of the Chinese army.
Because the British learned that the British commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor, had fought unfavorably and had killed most of the British troops, more than 8,000 people, and only more than 2,000 British troops remained, the British were under great pressure, and more people died in the Indian battlefield in this battle than in the previous ten years, and it was only three days of effort.The British immediately issued an order for the British commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor, to return to Hainan Island and wait for the next arrangement, but Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor did not know that this order was already on the way."
We have not failed, Governor Ruilin, please organize a comprehensive counterattack in Guangdong as soon as possible, mobilize the people to participate in the war, you still have the administrative power of Guangdong in your hands" Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor, the commander of the British army, roared at Lord Ruilin.Lord Ruilin smiled bitterly, when you don't come, I have a little power, after you come, do I still have power now Ruilin knows best what the virtues of those scattered green battalion soldiers are, where are the opponents of the Chinese army and those large and small local yamen, not to mention the Chinese army in the past, just let them know that Guangzhou has been conquered, just send a child to go over and face the black and red five-pointed star flag of Huaguo, which can represent that this place belongs to Huaguo, and the local yamen will be frightened to wave the flag everywhere, and the black and red five-pointed star flag will be everywhere, Waiting for the Chinese army to take over.Lieutenant General Ivan McGregor saw that Ruilin didn't speak, and snorted: "Lord Ruilin, now, I order you to hold Guangzhou, no matter what, I will take my army to Zhanjiang to rest and recuperate, when the time comes, we will attack inside and outside, and then fight the Chinese army" Lord Ruilin is completely speechless, why don't you defend Guangzhou, I will take people to rest the foreign devils, foreign devils, you are really a cow.Ruilin knew that talking was nonsense, so he simply kept silent, so as not to anger the foreigners, and he wouldn't even survive today.Lord Ruilin now has a great psychological burden, psychological pressure can make people collapse, these days, he has neither the heart to with his little wife, nor the heart to eat, even sleep for a pitiful hour or two, and often wake up from nightmares, Ruilin knows very well that his political future is over.If you go back to Jingshi, even if you spend a lot of money and can avoid going to prison, you can't escape the fate of being forced to Zhishi, I don't know what is waiting for him, where do you still have the heart to listen to the foreign devils talking here.On the same day, all the British troops were evacuated, and Ruilin was also vague, and immediately ordered the army to prepare for evacuation, and Ruilin seemed to be not the governor of Liangguang, but like a person who came to rob, and actually ordered to burn the yamen of the governor of Liangguang, the yamen of the governor of Guangdong, the granary, and various arsenals, anyway, they could be burned, and Guangzhou instantly became a sea of fire.At this moment, the entire city of Guangzhou became even more chaotic, burning, smashing, bombing, and looting, flooding the entire urban area.President Meng got the news of the evacuation of the British army, and ordered the troops to rush to Guangzhou at the first time, Guangzhou is not small at this time, just to occupy the entire urban area, it took a whole day, President Meng ordered Guangzhou to be strict and strict, and to crack down hard, which is the old rule of President Meng to calm down public security.Those who dare to go to the street to fight against the army don't need to ask, they are not good birds, and they are not used to cracking down on what they are not used to, and they don't seem to be able to do it.After killing more than 3,000 people, this city that could not be stopped was finally quiet.The 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army maintained social order on the one hand, and organized the people to help fight the fires on the other.President Meng did not order the pursuit of the British army and Ruilin's green battalion soldiers at the first time, for President Meng, he is more concerned about the lives of the people, defeat these British and Qing coalition forces, there will still be troops in the future.It's just that Luo Guozhong led the cavalry to chase Ruilin, for the sake of the overall situation, President Meng still hopes that Ruilin can surrender, if there is no big man like Ruilin in charge, it is not good for public opinion, President Meng has always attached great importance to public opinion.t1706231537:
