Chapter 219: Soldier and Robbery

It is said that in the chaos throughout the city, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces continued to burn, kill, loot and kidnap, brazenly raped women, robbed treasures, set fires, and committed all kinds of evil!

The entire city of Beijing fell into a state of disordered chaos and misery, with demonic figures of the coalition forces everywhere.

These foreign soldiers, who were as big as animals, killed wherever they could and robbed wherever they could. They were either in a large group or a large detachment, some were in groups of three or five, two or two, and some held their own.

Guns were everywhere, raping or killing.

In the vast and prosperous city of Beijing, only Bada Hutong and its surrounding area are relatively quiet, because this is a red light district. Foreign devils like to have sex here, so there is no need for bloody killings here.

At that time, there were as many as 17 large-scale prostitution dens in the nearby areas outside the Bada Hutong, distributed in twelve alleys including Yanshou Temple, Shijia Hutong, Zhangfan Hutong, and Hufang Bridge.

Therefore, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, in the Dashilan area alone, there were more than 30 alleys with a large number of brothels. But those were all lower-level brothels.

There are also a large number of prostitutes in the Tianqiao area south of the Bada Hutongs, such as Dasenli, Lotus Room, Sisheng Temple, Huazhi Hutong, Zhao Zhuizi Hutong, Jinyuchi Street, Puhuangyu’s Huanghua Building, and the East Gate outside Chaoyang Gate.

Sanli and Shenlu Street are all prosperous areas where second- and third-class brothels are located.

In fact, at that time, there were brothels in all districts of old Beijing in the old society, but there were particularly many brothels near the front door of the Bada Hutongs. The Tianqiao area was only one street away from the Bada Hutongs, so they were all connected together.

Therefore, this large connected area became a special area for the Eight-Power Allied Forces to visit prostitutes. In addition to the high-end brothels in the Bada Hutong, which were the places where coalition officers went in and out for fun, those second- and third-rate brothels and secret prostitution dens became

A place for ordinary soldiers to enjoy themselves.

All the local prostitutes who frequented the city had no time to hide after the coalition forces entered Beijing, and they no longer dared to leave. Even the Five Devils could not go because those foreign devils were so numerous and had weapons in their hands.

Iron guy.

The various atrocities committed by the coalition forces made the Seven Tomb Robbers very angry.

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces at that time was British Admiral Seymour! He joined the British Navy in 1852! As early as 1857, as a lieutenant trainee, he participated in the Second Opium War when Britain and France invaded China.

.In 1862, this guy fought against the Taiping Army of the Qing Dynasty in Shanghai, and was an old enemy of old China.

In 1863! This guy returned to the so-called British Empire in fine clothes, and was later promoted to lieutenant general. Beginning in 1**77, he served as commander-in-chief of the British East Asia Fleet. This guy later even wrote "My Naval Career and...

Travel Diary》

On June 10 of this year, in the name of protecting the embassy in Beijing, various countries led an invading coalition consisting of eight troops from Britain, Russia, Germany, France, the United States, Japan, Italy and Austria, led by Seymour.

A total of more than 2,000 people (the rest of the coalition forces were conducting aggressive activities in other parts of China) set out from Tianjin Wei and invaded Beijing.

As for the subsequent more German soldiers, they did not arrive in China until two months after the fall of Beijing.

They were motivated by their eagerness to carry out the order issued by Kaiser Wilhelm II on July 2, 1900: "You know that you are facing a cunning, brave, well-armed and cruel enemy. If you encounter him,

Please remember: do not sympathize with him and do not accept prisoners of war. You must fight bravely so that the Chinese will not dare to peek at the Germans in a thousand years."

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces had been replaced by the German general Waldersee. The invading army set fire to Prince Zhuang's Mansion in Taipingcang Alley in the West Fourth North, and burned 1,800 people to death on the spot.

Moreover, the German aggressor army was ordered to "pursue the principle of military action to kill all Chinese, regardless of whether they are male, female, old or young, when they encounter them in combat."

When the evil French army encountered a group of Chinese on the road, they used machine guns to force the crowd into a dead end and fired continuously for fifteen minutes, leaving no one alive.

As for the bastard Japanese soldiers who deserved to be killed a thousand times, after capturing the Chinese, they subjected them to various tortures, testing how many people a bullet could penetrate, or deliberately shooting at people's bodies indiscriminately without hitting their vital points! After being hit by several bullets in the human body,

Then he died slowly and painfully.

During the killing, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces also used heavily armed "supervisory executioners" to take photos from all angles in an attempt to intimidate the Chinese people. This has now become irrefutable evidence of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces' crimes.

According to records: “On the day the city was destroyed, foreigners killed countless people.” “But we heard the bombardment of guns and cannons, the cries of women and children for help, and corpses on the streets.”

The British also recorded: "Beijing has become a real cemetery, with dead people everywhere. No one buries them, leaving wild dogs to eat the lying corpses."

Not only that, not only did they go to the Bada Hutong area to find prostitutes for fun, but the Eight-Power Allied Forces also ravaged all the women they saw, old and young. According to records: "The Allied Forces tried to seize the women, regardless of whether they were good or bad, young or old, and just drove them to the Peihu Hutong.

, living in row houses as official prostitutes.

The west end of the alley should be blocked to prevent escape. The east end of the alley should be left as the way in and out, under supervision, so that the coalition troops can enter and have sex as they please."

The ninety-year-old wife of the famous scholar Wo Ren was humiliated to death by the invading army. Many people refused to be insulted and committed suicide unjustly.

Wang Yirong, the wine supervisor of the Grand Prince, lived at No. 11 Xila Hutong. He said angrily: "How can I be humiliated?" Then the whole family threw themselves into a well and committed suicide.

At that time, the commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, German Field Marshal Waldersee, authorized soldiers to openly rob for three days, and then various military units continued to rob for many days.

China's precious cultural relics suffered unprecedented catastrophe. Treasures that had been treasured for many years in the Imperial Palace and the Summer Palace were also looted.

The commander of the Russian army, General Alexeyev, and others "looted" dozens of treasures made of gold and precious stones from Cixi's palace.

After the savage British and French soldiers robbed all kinds of rare treasures, they even took away large items, such as yellow pear wood furniture! Even if they smashed their feet, they were so damn greedy.

From Songzhu Temple alone, more than 3,000 gilded bronze Buddhas, 1,400 brocade products, and 4,300 bronze vessels were lost.

Even the gold plating on the copper vat in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was swarmed around by the invading troops and scraped off with shiny and sharp bayonets. The scratches are still there to this day.

Like the "French Catholic Archbishop" Fan Guoliang who likes to play tricks, he follows the coalition forces with a cross on his chest. He usually says "Repent, my child", but at this time, he packs them in heavy coats and big cloth bags, carrying a steady stream of

Transported back to the station.

This guy even stole one million taels worth of property from the home of a Qing Dynasty official.

Fan Guoliang's complicit fellow countryman, the commander-in-chief of the French invasion force, Forrey, robbed as many as forty boxes of precious property by himself.

The French army, who were like hungry wolves, robbed Prince Li's palace of as much as two million taels of silver.

The street shops in the Dongsi area were looted by the animal-like coalition forces. At that time, the famous "Four Daheng" gold medals in Sijiu City in old Beijing were not spared and all were robbed.

As for the houses east of Di'anmen and north of Dong'anmen, seventy-eight out of ten houses were destroyed by the flames. However, almost all the buildings north of Qianmen and south of Dongsi were destroyed, and few were spared.

Ordinary citizens of old Beijing, who have always lived in a closed-door capital city, have never seen such a barbaric and bloody army? Because they are unarmed, everyone is frightened and can only close the door tightly and dare not come out day and night, but the coalition forces may break in at any time.

He was shot and killed, he was shot even while he was lying down!
