Chapter 52 Eight-Power Allied Forces
"How much did you pay for the 100 million taels of silver? How much did you pay for Japan and how much did the Qing court pay?"
"We in Japan paid 20 million taels, and the Qing court paid 80 million taels."
"The Qing court is still as stupid as ever." He Xuan chuckled: "Because your life is only a few years old, I won't kill you this time. Goodbye. However, you should be able to see me again."
"Oh?" Gui Xiaowuro waited for He Xuan's next sentence.
"When I defeat the Western countries, I will destroy your Japan."
Hearing this sentence, Katsukoro's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled calmly: "Then I am here, I wish Your Majesty the Lord to defeat the coalition forces of the Western countries."
"Of course." He Xuanchang smiled and strided out of Tokyo City.
Kei Kogoro was left behind and stood alone.
His expression was a little bitter.
He could feel He Xuan's confidence in that sentence.
Could it be that He Xuan is really possible to defeat the coalition forces of many Western countries?
But, is this impossible?
That is the strongest force in the world!
...
At this time, the Qing court and Japan paid 100 million taels of silver. The Western countries had decided to send troops.
American Minister.
British Minister.
French Minister.
German Minister.
Austria Minister.
Italian Minister.
Russian Minister.
The ministers of the Spanish state and the ministers of the eight countries gathered together.
"We can send troops. This time we are the Taiping Army on Daiwan Island." British Minister Henry said with a grin: "At that time, the young king of Taiping Army on Daiwan Island did not give me face. I have to endure it until now and resisted the urge to step on this ant to death. Now, I can finally avenge the revenge I had been half a year ago."
"Since we have decided to send troops, we must also know our own people." German Minister Hasenhao smoked a cigar: "There are a total of about 50,000 troops above the Taiping Army. This part of the army cannot be ignored."
American Minister Joninghan shook his head: "Their 50,000 troops have the combat effectiveness. They are not very elite. What we really need to pay attention to is the young king of the Taiping Army. It turns out that he killed all directions alone, but he failed to enter the bullets, and killed the Qing court. We thought it was a joke. But now, Japan should have an army of tens of thousands of people rushed in and killed them alone."
"Finally, ask us for help. This person should be very capable."
The Austrian Minister sneered: "I have also heard of this man. It is said that he claims to be the Holy Father, the Holy Son, and calls himself a god. It's such a heresy! Heresy deserves to die."
"It is said that he can stop the generation of muskets we eliminated." The Russian minister sucked vodka and said, "This man is still interesting. Just go to the machine gun directly. If you don't go to the machine gun, you may not be able to kill him."
"Okay. Get the machine gun. Let's calculate how many people can there be."
"I can produce ten thousand people in Britain," said British Minister Henry.
The others couldn't help but look at the British minister in surprise. It seemed that this person was really going to fight with the young king of the Taiping Army.
Of course, Britain also wants to mobilize troops, and they have many troops in India. India is not far from China.
"We Russia can generate 10,000 people." The Russian ambassador also said that there are more people than people, and they are the most Russians. Moreover, Russia itself has troops stationed in the Far East, and the distance to be transferred is quite close.
"We can only have 3,000 people in Germany."
"Our Austria country can only produce 3,000 people."
"We can only send out three thousand people in Italy."
"We in Spain can only produce 3,000 people."
"We in France can produce 4,000 people."
"We in the United States can only produce 4,000 people." These six countries are quite far from China. So after all, there are not many people who can produce, that is, three or four thousand people. Anyway, the six countries can produce a total of 20,000 people.
By doing this, a total of 40,000 troops can be generated.
But, there are enough people.
These eight countries are the top countries in the world!
It is far from what the Qing court today or Japan can compare with.
Such 40,000 people have the most cutting-edge machine guns that can be promoted to the world.
The Qing court or something could be easily brought down.
After discussing the matter, the ministers of these eight countries began to directly request orders to dispatch troops from all directions. With 100 million silver as a huge military expenditure, the army of these capitalist countries also came quite quickly.
All of a sudden, a lot of people came.
These armies did not directly land in Daiwan.
Instead, they gathered in Ningbo Port.
These ships cover the sky and the sun.
...
And this news spread rapidly in all directions.
For example, the Qing court.
Go up to the morning.
"Now, the coalition forces of the eight Western countries are already in Ningbo Port. Ningbo Port is quite close to Daiwan Island. I am afraid that within a day, you can rush all the way to Daiwan Island through the ocean. The benefits of firearms of Western countries are far from what we can imagine. In a day, the Taiping Army will be destroyed, and the young king of the Taiping Army, this pseudo-god, will be awarded the head." Li Hongzhang stood on the hall and said with a little smugness.
The original boss Zeng Guofan lost power because of Zeng Guoquan's affairs.
Now, Li Hongzhang is the boss among his ministers.
And, look at how beautiful he made the first move.
It cost 80 million taels to ask the Eight-Nation Alliance to take action.
That's right, 80 million taels are expensive.
However, as long as the Taiping Army is destroyed, the young king of the Taiping Army will be killed, and the world will be regained soon.
Empress Dowager Cixi, who was sitting behind the pearl curtain, sneered: "A mere pseudo-god, a mere Taiping army, and a mere young king, dare to go against the Ai family. Humph! It will be his death immediately."
"When the Taiping Army is pacified, the world will be stable. Unfortunately, the national treasury will be empty." Empress Dowager Cixi sighed. She originally wanted to build a huge garden that cost tens of millions of taels of silver, but now she can only postpone it.
...
The forces in the world, the White Lotus Sect, the Little Knife Society, and the Tiandi Society, all learned about the gathering of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Ningbo Port. It is said that there were 40,000 people, carrying the most cutting-edge weapons among Western firearms, and attacking Daiwan Island directly.
So those who heard this news couldn't help but change their expressions.
Although the Qing court was difficult to deal with, it had already shown signs of weakness. Especially the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising, it was even more obvious that the Qing court was weak, and now it relied entirely on the support of the Hunan Army, Huai Army and others.
However, the Western countries are completely different, they are the top countries in the world. Their joint efforts are extremely terrifying just by thinking about it.
The 50,000 troops of the Taiping Army will definitely not stop the Eight-Nation Alliance of the Western Eight-Nation Alliance.
Even if he is the young king, he is known as the indestructible King of War and has no bullets, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to withstand the attack of the Western Eight-Nation Alliance.
