This sentence can be regarded as a huge disaster. There are many people who accuse the emperor of being a coward, but they always do it secretly in the countryside. If you go to the scene of the greeting and scold him, aren't you looking for death?
The Eight Banners soldiers all over the city were the first to rush forward, "Damn slave, if you dare to insult the emperor, arrest him... drag him to a place where no one is around and chop him down!"
The bright knife was pulled out, and a group of wolf-like soldiers rushed into the rioting crowd and dragged out the two people who had just cursed.
This time, it is true. The two unobstructed people of Songjiang Mansion were scared to face pale, and a face was irony. "No, no, no, no ..."
Nothing could come out of his mouth except no, no, no, and in the end he could only hold back the words "Help! Help..."
Throughout the Qing Dynasty's more than 200 years of rule, the conflict between the Manchus and the Han had always existed, but it was slightly alleviated during the peacetime period when there was no war.
If the person who takes action today is a police officer from Songjiang Prefecture or Shanghai Road, it will be easy to handle, or else he will have to spend money to buy his life. But the Eight Banners soldiers all over the city are about to take action, and it’s hard to save them!
What is Mancheng? Mancheng is actually an independent residential area in major cities in the Qing Dynasty. It is a high-end community where the children of the Eight Banners live together.
In an ordinary small town, the Eight Banners families would be concentrated in one area, with several streets facing each other. This is a privileged place in every city.
No one will come here to collect taxes, and local police officers will not come to harass them. Moreover, judicial power is still in the hands of the eight banner commanders at all levels in the city. In other words, if people here cheat, kidnap, break the law, and commit evil, they will also be punished by the people in the city. The generals came to interrogate and convict.
Local officials have no right to intervene. This is the judicial prerogative of the Manchus!
As for larger cities, the city has its own city walls and its own army. It can be said that it is a military fortress that intimidates the Han people, and it can also be regarded as controlling prosperous cities in disguise.
Of course, Songjiang Prefecture also has a Manchu city, and it is a Manchu walled city with the right to garrison troops. Of course, the servants who are welcoming these emperors today must show their loyalty. When they see someone calling the emperor a coward, they will immediately rush up and kill him.
The common people were not stupid. They knew that if they fell into the hands of this group of people, they would definitely die. They immediately started making noises and vented all their grievances all at once.
"What are you going to do? Why are you arresting and releasing people randomly..."
"Who heard the insult to the emperor? None of us heard it, no one heard it..."
"Let people go...don't arrest people randomly..."
Now the scene was completely chaotic. The old man was trying to persuade the crowd, and the young man rushed forward angrily. The Eight Banners soldiers all over the city were furious.
This is not bad, do you want to rebel? The Lord Long Live is about to come. If he sees such a scene, the sky will collapse!
"Where are the cavalry? Rush away from these unruly people...separate them, and kill those who dare to cause trouble..."
"I heard you all clearly... Only kill the chief culprit, and the rest stand back..."
"We won't retreat...We won't retreat until we die...Why do you kill people? We just need to go to the toilet, drink water and eat. How come it's against the law?"
"That's right... Do you care about eating, drinking, and diarrhea? Let me go..."
Both sides of the Huangpu River suddenly became a mess. People shouted slogans about eating, drinking, and defecating without guilt, and shouted in unison to let people go. The shaking river was buzzing and ripples appeared.
If there are tens of thousands of people, there is no limit, and if there are more than 100,000 people, there is no end in sight. When a place becomes restless, it spreads outward like a virus, and more and more people are watching to make trouble.
The Eight Banners guard who led the team was also panicked. At this moment, he had an idea in his mind that he must suppress to avoid causing a civil uprising.
Anger arose in his heart and turned to his guts. The little city guard pulled out his sword and said, "Everyone squat down... shut up... Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed without mercy!"
"You still dare to lean forward? Go to hell..." Gritting his teeth, the guard riding on the horse struck down with a single blow.
The crowd suddenly exclaimed, "It's murder..." Countless people closed their eyes.
But there was a crisp clang, but no screams. When people opened their eyes, they saw a soldier of the Chinese Foreign Legion had drawn out his sword and held it at his waist. Sparks flew from the two sharp blades of cold light and four colors.
"You...you dare to stop...this is the land of the Qing Dynasty, not your Chinese..."
The soldier sneered and held his sword, "You seem to have made a mistake. I don't care if you kill people elsewhere, but not here... Songjiang Mansion invited us to come here to maintain order. This is our defense zone..."
"Impossible, this is obviously us..." The Eight Banners guard on horseback turned to look at the embankment on the shore.
Previously, Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai Road had put a lot of wooden signs on the embankments, which said that part of the defense zone. Just now the guard saw clearly that the trouble was in the area he was responsible for!
But this turn of the head didn't make him angry. In the meantime, Suzuki Tai, the Chinese fuso officer, was pulling out the wooden sign on the embankment and moving it towards him.
Suzuki Tai glanced at him with a sneer, and then inserted the wooden sign into the soil. This time, the conflict site was surrounded by the Chinese defense zone!
"You... you are so shameless!"
Suzuki Tai ran over with his soldiers, "Brother, do you want to provoke a civil uprising among these 100,000 people? If such a tragedy really happens, how will the history books be written?"
"A riot caused by a mixture of feces and urine? Do you really want such a scene to be recorded in the history books?"
"You have nothing to do... You have no place to speak here..." The red-faced Eight Banners Guardsman shouted around, "You bunch of unruly people and untouchables are so shameless!"
"My great-great-grandfather was the one who met Emperor Qianlong when he went to the south of the Yangtze River... The scene back then was a hundred times bigger than now, and the rules were a hundred times stricter!"
"Those unruly people like you had to kill the nine tribes back then!"
"What a big deal if I don't let you eat, drink, and have diarrhea... Before the welcoming ceremony, everyone can only die with ginseng soup for two days! Who dares to eat, drink, and have diarrhea?"
"Now I'm really giving you face. Have you forgotten that this is the Qing Dynasty?"
"Get started and arrest people! No matter who stops me, I will kill them!"
Mrs. Suzuki shouted, "Common people, hide in the Chinese defense zone! If you dare to cross this wooden sign, I will shoot you! Baga, Baga!"
The entire river embankment suddenly became filled with dust, and the frightened people ran towards the Chinese defense area, shouting, and a large area of empty ground was suddenly vacated.
The guard in the city shouted angrily, "Damn untouchable, bastard... why didn't you stop him!"
"Huh? If there is anyone running away here, catch it!"
The domineering Eight Banners athletes rode their horses forward and led a group of people straight towards Emperor Tongzhi and his entourage under the big willow tree. I saw them all with angry eyes and the bright knives in their hands reflecting the sunlight.
"You bastard untouchables... I just ordered you all to kneel down, and you still dare to stand? Are you going to rebel?"
"It seems like you can't establish authority if you don't kill people? Take action..."
