C1249 Huangsha Manchu Capital

The one who rushed over from the south was the communication ship dispatched by the vice-commander Venia. The small scissor boat rode the wind and waves at the fastest speed possible to catch up with the Main fleet.

"Reporting, sir! We are already fighting off the enemy ships in the northern seas of Taiwan Island. This is the battle report sent by the Venia Commander. " The weary soldier saluted and carried in both hands the wax-sealed file bag.

EdStefanski used his paper knife to pry open the wax seal, and when he looked at the letter, he immediately became ecstatic. He glanced at Molière and said, "You guessed it right, although this battleship is powerful, it's a pity that it's just an experimental ship!"

The letter was handed over to Molière. It briefly reported the battle situation after separating and also highlighted the sudden boiler failure of the Zhiyuan Warship.

"In the evening, the speed of the enemy ship suddenly decreased. Soon after, black smoke began to billow from the chimney, and there were faintly panicked sailors running on the deck … After that, we continued our suppression of the enemy ship, all the way until the sky turned completely dark, the black smoke of the Zhiyuan Warship was still present, and our speed had yet to recover … "

"I can guarantee that the Zhiyuan Warship encountered a boiler failure. Although it will not lose its power, it will definitely lose power! Currently, the Zhiyuan Warship's speed has been hovering between 9 and 10 sections... "Our ship has now left the battle, and is searching north for you. We are safe …"

Molière let out a long breath and passed the letter over to the other officers. After everyone finished reading, everyone felt relieved, "Venia's judgement cannot be wrong, his understanding of the steam power system is much deeper than ours, his analysis is trustworthy …"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the commander in chief. EdStefanski could understand everyone's eyes, he knew that the Expeditionary forces needed a moderate amount of victory to recover, and the empire needed the gold to survive the financial crisis.

"Alright, pass my order, the fleet will advance at full speed, prepare for battle …" I'll bring you guys to snatch the gold! "

"Wu La!" The command cabin was filled with cheers, the defeat during the day was swept away. From this moment on, the Russian fleet was split into two, and without hesitation, he rushed towards Xiao Letian's trap.

The Beijing in spring was not a very likeable season. Although the blooming of flowers in spring was very pleasing to the eyes, the imperial city at the foot of the Yan Mountain was affected by the sandstorm every year, especially in spring.

Early in the morning, Beijing's sky had already turned yellow as if it was wrapped in yellow paper. The sun hung on the horizon and emitted a yellow light, looking extremely weak and dispirited.

The dust in the air was increasing, and the breeze from the northwest was filled with the smell of earth.

The guards and soldiers inside the Forbidden City were all covered in yellow sand, making them look like clay statues from afar. All the people walking around the Forbidden City had their necks pulled tightly on their sleeves to prevent the dirt from drilling into them.

Around 8 in the morning, the military plane, Zhang Jing Li Tuo, brought his own basket and entered the imperial city from the left wing of the Five Phoenix Restaurant. As he drew his waist up, he quickly rushed to the Military Intelligence Service like a prawn.

Just as he walked past the Supreme Harmony Hall plaza, the sound of intense footsteps came from behind him. Turning around, he saw that it was an old acquaintance of his, the zingiberis radix who had drunk wine with Yang Zhi in the Gemeinschaft.

"What is going on? And earn my life? " Li Tuo asked while winking, but he never thought that the zingiberis radix today would be abnormal and simply ignore him, running past him like the wind.

"Military Intelligence Service sent an urgent telegram, everyone move out of the way … "Hurry up!"

Behind him, a young eunuch looked like a tired dog as he spoke, "Aiyo …" Aiyo, my mother! Lord Jiang, wait for me … I must accompany you to the palace! "

"Stubborn thing, I can't run away. As your bodyguard, can't you run away? "Quickly, catch up to Lord Jiang …"

Amidst the curses, two guards rushed forward, one to the left and one to the right, protecting the Head Office's Calligraphy zingiberis radix.

According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, officials who were not at a high level would have to be led by eunuchs and guards all the way to the Forbidden City, especially a mediocre official like the zingiberis radix.

Only high ranking officials of the third rank or higher had the right to freely move about some areas of the Forbidden City. However, if they wanted to see the empress dowager or the emperor, they had to be led by eunuchs.

According to the rules, even if the zingiberis radix had an urgent report to make, it had to be accompanied by guards and eunuchs. They had never seen such a scene before, the officials who delivered the letters ran as fast as donkeys, the eunuchs and guards chasing after them were on the verge of death, they did not manage to catch up.

Countless people secretly looked at the mirror in front of them, feeling astonished in their hearts, "What is going on?" Could it be that the British are going to attack the Beijing again? "That's impossible, the British are on good terms with the Qing Empire right now …"

Only Li Tuo was as if he was struck by lightning. He had just faintly seen the thumb of the zingiberis radix running away, sticking up towards the sky. What did this mean? He raised his thumbs up to the sky. There was only one meaning in those words of his, and that was that he was a ruler of a country.

"Damn, has something happened to His Majesty?" "Oh no, I need to hurry to Military Intelligence Service …"

When Li Tuo walked to the Military Intelligence Service in quick steps, he realised that all the officials on duty had all stood up and looked at the side door in a daze. Some people even forgot to chew as they stuffed the youtiao in their mouths.

"An eventful autumn!" What urgent matter does the Head Office have to attend to? Why are you doing this so early in the morning if you don't go take a good rest? "

Just as everyone was discussing amongst themselves, a group of young eunuchs suddenly ran out from a side door. The leading eunuch was none other than Li Lianying. He saw a red palm mark on the face of the beloved eunuch, and his eyes turned red.

As he ran, he shouted, "The Lord from Military Intelligence Service is on duty today? Hurry to Yangxin Palace and wait for the empress dowager's summons … Send someone to summon Prince Kung and Prince of Alcohol to the palace immediately … Quick, ask the Master Weng... "Faster, faster, faster!"

Right at this moment, a sudden wave of yellow sand rolled in the west. A gale swept through the Forbidden City, and the entire world was covered in yellow sand.

"What a sin!" This was a sin! The heavens are taking in people again, why have we been so unhappy these past few years? Why didn't you have a good day! "

Li Lianying looked as sinister as an evil ghost in the yellow sand as she turned her head and cursed, "Where's that bastard from just now? Here, let me drag you up... "Damn it, this grandpa was slapped, your life will end here today …"

"Little ones, call me! Fight to the death! If you can't beat him, I'll beat you to death! "
