The people of the late Qing Dynasty had never seen such an army that dared to fight so hard. Even the British and French allied forces six years ago did not fight so hard. Bullets were fired upwards like a heavy rain. The Eight Banners soldiers on the city were screaming in agony, and bottles of strange grenades were fired. There was an explosion on the red cannon, and bright flames shot into the sky.
The flying claw, which was dragging a rope more than ten meters long, was thrown to the top of the city. Countless soldiers climbed up. No one hesitated during the entire battle. The courage that all the soldiers burst out to fight was fundamental to the people of the late Qing Dynasty. I can't even imagine it.
"God, how much did Xiao Letian pay these soldiers for his life? He is really the God of Wealth riding a black tiger..."
No one can understand what Xiao Letian and this idealistic army are thinking. The hearts of people imprisoned by the iron cage of feudal thinking cannot understand the hearts of free people.
"Breakthrough... Our brothers have broken through..." Thousands of people shouted collectively. In everyone's sight, the blue figure had climbed to the top of the city through a long rope, and then grenades exploded on the top of the city. of smoke and fire.
The morale of the Eight Banners soldiers stationed at Guangqumen completely collapsed at this moment. They had never seen this kind of fighting style in their lives. Gatling barrage suppressed, snipers targeted and eliminated, grenades were thrown up as if they were free, and finally There is fire from heaven that burns on water.
In their hearts, these blue figures no longer belong to the category of humans, they are just a group of flying heavenly soldiers and generals.
"Run... Your Majesty can't stop Xiao Letian, why are we risking our lives for nothing... Run." With a loud roar, the soldiers inside Guangqumen threw away their weapons and ran away, and there were even a few minor trampling incidents.
After a while, the gate of Guangqumen was opened, and the new army that had been waiting to enter the city rushed into Wengcheng. Immediately afterwards, the gate of Wengcheng was also opened, and the streets of Beijing finally appeared in front of everyone. in front of.
"Enter the Imperial City and save the Queen Mother. The new army is with the Qing Emperor." The soldiers shouted slogans and gathered inside the Wengcheng. Although the streets of Beijing were in front of them, no one took a step inside.
The glory at this moment belongs only to Xiao Letian, and the first one to enter the city can only be Xiao Letian.
"Prince Chun, look at what happened. In the end, I didn't find the new Yizhi. Where did you think that Yizhi was?" Xiao Letian didn't forget to tease Yixuan at this time, and this At that time, the prince's face was already ashen.
"How is this possible, this is impossible... Ci'an would not be so ignorant, she would not ignore the Qing Dynasty..." Yixuan was already hysterical.
With a puff, Xiao Letian laughed, "It's really gangster logic. You can kill people as you like, but don't allow them to resist. Once you see that they can't be beaten, you will use a big moral hat to suppress people, just to bully honest people like you." The Qing Dynasty can’t do any better with his abilities.”
After speaking, Xiao Letian urged the war horses and slowly moved forward in the alley formed by the new army. At that moment, the new army was completely excited. "Enter the city...enter the city...enter the city..." the crowd shouted rhythmically.
The war horse moved forward slowly and passed through the dark and long city gate. Xiao Letian stretched out his hand and stroked the wet city bricks. An imaginary picture emerged in his mind. The ancient city of Yandi, Jinzhongdu, Yuan Most of them were then the imperial cities of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
How many power conquests have been staged here, and how many military disasters have broken out here. This is a capital watered with human blood.
"The most difficult test has come. Let's see if I, Xiao Letian, can pass it." Xiao Letian secretly competed in his heart.
"Let's go, brothers... we are entering Beijing." Xiao Letian urged his horse to leap into the streets of Forty-Nine City, with a huge crowd behind him.
When they just rushed into the streets of Beijing, the scene in front of them shocked everyone. They never expected that Beijing was now completely engulfed in riots, and the whole city was in chaos.
The streets and alleys were full of people running for safety. The soldiers rushed into the shops and snatched all the goods they could see. There were even thick smoke rising into the sky in the distance.
"Damn, someone is fishing in troubled waters." Wang Huaiyuan, who rushed up from behind, could tell at a glance that he was engaged in intelligence work, and inciting the people was their specialty.
"Prime Minister, look, there is someone in the crowd deliberately spreading panic..."
Xiao Letian also discovered that wherever there were the largest crowds, there were always people grabbing their necks and shouting, "Failed, the imperial army was defeated. Andehai led an army of more than 10,000 people under the Eight Banners, but Xiao Letian killed more than 1,000 people." It’s all gone, Xiao Letian has already attacked..."
"Run, Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea will mobilize heavenly fire to fight. Even heavy rain can't extinguish the fire... The court can't deal with him anymore. Let's get out of the city and hide..."
Various rumors began to spread in the city. The timid and superstitious people who had little information were coerced by the atmosphere of terror and joined the fleeing army one after another.
"No wonder Ci'an's new decree cannot be spread. The city of Beijing is already in complete chaos. Where are the people maintaining law and order on the streets? Who did this? Is it one of ours?" Xiao Letian asked.
"No, absolutely not. Those people ran away when they saw us, which means they belong to other forces... But it doesn't matter. It is also good for us that they are making trouble. At least it disrupts the message transmission of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. This is a good thing. "
"Well, don't worry about them now. The more chaotic the city of Beijing is, the more anxious the court will be. This will be good for our negotiations... Remember, go back and check the identities of these people... Let's go."
Xiao Letian has no time to quell the chaos now. His only goal now is the Forbidden City, the center of power of the Qing Dynasty.
The army entered the capital from Guangqumen and headed straight to Chongwenmen diagonally to the north. At this time, there were only more than two hundred timid Jiumen admiral soldiers stationed at Chongwenmen, each holding a spear and fighting in two directions. When they saw the blue After the crowd rushed towards him, he screamed in fright and turned around to run away.
Chongwen Gate fell without a fight, and the army continued to advance diagonally along the main street of Dongcheng towards Daqing Gate. There were many soldiers along the way, including Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers, but without exception, everyone saw Xiao Letian and the others. Just run away, faster than a rabbit.
No matter how powerful the cannonball is, it can't match the power of rumors, especially this kind of superstitious message, which is a heavy weapon to break people's hearts.
"This is the basis of the Qing Dynasty's governance. Everyone has seen it. It is full of straw when the pretense of the imperial court is torn apart. It is ridiculous and lamentable."
Prince Chun, who was chasing after Xiao Letian, had a face as angry as a monkey's butt. Xiao Letian could see all the internal troubles in the Qing Dynasty.
The new army did not encounter any resistance after entering the city. It was not until people saw the Daqing Gate that they were stopped by a strange force.
Daqingmen is where the Chairman's Memorial Hall is now located in Tiananmen Square. To the north of this city gate is Tiananmen. After Tiananmen is the Forbidden City. When the army arrives here, it is considered to be at the core of Beijing.
A group of 'troops' wearing long robes had gathered outside the Qing Dynasty Gate. The leader was actually Weng Tonghe. This old guy actually gathered all the Qingliu and Tai students in the city, and even a group of seven or eight-year-old boys who had just started their education.
The old guy was dressed in a white robe, as if he were paying filial piety to himself. Behind him, a Hanlin official was holding the tablet of the Holy Master and glaring at Xiao Letian.
"Bold and crazy, you still don't get off your horse and kneel before you see the tablet of the Holy Master." More than 400 Confucian scholars collectively shouted, and the momentum was really huge.
The war horse under Xiao Letian's crotch seemed to be frightened by the momentum of the Holy Master. He kept retreating and Xiao Letian clamped the horse's belly tightly to stabilize the war horse.
He urged the war horse Xiao Letian to walk to Weng Tonghe, and looked at him condescendingly from the horse's back. His eyes were extremely arrogant and rude, but he didn't say anything and just looked at them with contempt.
Xiao Letian's attitude angered the Confucian scholars present and they shouted, "Get off your horse... salute the Holy Master, get off, you rebellious one."
Weng Tonghe's hands were shaking with anger, "You, you, you...don't you even take saints seriously? Are you pretending to be the human heart, the heart of an animal..."
More than four hundred Confucian scholars were angry. They gathered around and tried to beat up Xiao Letian. They firmly believed that they were protected by the halo of saints and no one dared to be rude.
Weng Tonghe looked at Xiao Letian coldly, "If you dare to attack us, kill us all if you dare. Then you will become a traitor in the eyes of all the scholars in the world, and you will be a beast..."
"Don't you want to rebel? By then, no scholar will follow you, and you will always be a tyrant, just like Dong Zhuo..."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian laughed, tears streaming down his face. "You guys... call you idiots, but I'm not unfair to you at all. Over the past thousands of years, you have really been spoiled... …Hahaha."
How could Xiao Letian not laugh? No matter how dynasties changed in China for thousands of years, this group of intellectuals who had mastered knowledge never fell. Even the most barbaric Yuan Dynasty had to arrange a number of official positions for these people.
This is a class that monopolizes knowledge. Although the Confucian clan has declined since the Song Dynasty, knowledge is still not accessible to everyone. The scholars themselves formed an elite group that could even compete with the imperial power.
They knew that no matter which emperor came to power, they would need this group of people to help govern the world. They had never heard of someone who could govern the world with a large number of soldiers.
This is what Weng Tonghe thinks. In his eyes, even if you Xiao Lezhen rebels, you have to treat me well, otherwise none of the scholars in the world will work for you, and your dynasty will be finished by then.
But Xiao Letian's arrogant smile just now made him a little confused. How could he smile so confidently? Is he really not afraid of offending all the scholars in the world?
"Why are you laughing? Get off your horse immediately and salute the saint, you evil beast..."
"Salute, why should I salute? Kong Laoer is your saint, not mine, so why should I salute?"
"Ah, shameless." One sentence ignited the anger in everyone's heart. Four hundred Confucian scholars were angry, "Shameless, you dare to insult the saint, beat him... pull him down..."
Note: Due to special circumstances, there will only be one update per day during this period, sorry.
