"Quick, quick... move all the money and treasures away, so as not to have long nights and dreams!" Cheng Beile covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and crawled out of the hole to avoid the strong smell of blood.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I drilled the octagonal glazed well, I heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from the Liulichang Hutong in the north, as well as the sound of whistles with a copper sound!
"Outflank! The whole army is outflanking... Pass the emperor's decree and take over the Bajiao Liuli Well!"
"Speed, speed, speed... Squad leader, lead the team to march from the direction of Anche Camp!"
"Second Platoon Commander...block Sun Park!"
"Third row went around from the northwest! Order all the soldiers of the nine admirals to put down their weapons and listen to the orders of the new imperial forest army!"
"Hurry up……"
Cheng Beile was stunned for a moment. He only felt the sound of footsteps in all directions, and loud orders coming one after another. After that, there were bursts of noise from the people, and he didn't know what they were making!
The next second, his eyeballs were blown out, and he saw waves of soldiers from the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion retreating from all the alleys. They looked terrified and couldn't stop their steps one by one.
"What's going on? You are so scared that you feel like you have seen a ghost!"
"Master Beile... Master Beile... they are really a group of Japanese soldiers. The emperor's new army of imperial guards are coming to kill them. The streets are full of shining bayonets!"
Ouch! Could it be that the court meeting in the Forbidden City collapsed? Zai Chun went crazy and wanted to take action in Sijiu City?
My mother! The Xishan Battalion has less than 10,000 people in the city. If we really take action, we may not be able to take advantage. Look at these wimps from the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion. They definitely have no fighting power!
I, I, I... where am I hiding?
Guiziliu, this useless son, suddenly saw an empty pickle jar that a family had placed in the yard. He opened the lid and jumped in with a bang, and even closed the lid conveniently!
What kind of trick is this? All the soldiers in the yard were dumbfounded. You said that you don't command or negotiate with the Imperial Guards. What's the matter with hiding in the pickle jar?
But it was too late at this time. The sound of big leather boots outside was shocking, and a jungle of bright bayonets forced the pale-faced Nine Gates admiral soldiers to retreat.
Zai Chun has seen the world of Europe. He knows that the best rifle in the world today is still the German Mauser, and the Prussian army equipment is really outstanding!
The Guards are all brand new German Mausers. Of course they are the first-generation single-engine models, but this alone is awesome enough. If this Mauser was equipped with a bayonet, it would be as tall as a man!
Today, Ma Ming and others were filled with anger. When they were in the Forbidden City, they almost mutinied!
When I heard that the emperor was forced to the point of fainting, more than 600,000 silver coins were robbed. That's 650,000 taels of silver! How much military pay is enough?
When they were in Fuzhou, even the emperor was in a hurry to exchange money for military pay. The experience of stumping a heroic man with a penny was unforgettable to them!
It's really better to raise troops from Donghua Gate, rush into the Yangxin Palace like a sharp knife, capture Prince Gong and these rebellious people alive, and directly stab them to death!
But without His Majesty’s military orders, no one dares to act rashly!
Now that Er Mao has come to save Man Shun with a will, the troops of the company ordered by Ma Ming are like roaring tigers, running madly on the streets of the capital, frightening the entire Forty-Nine City into a sensation!
The reinforced company of more than a hundred people gave them the momentum of a battalion!
Before arriving at Liulichang, Ma Ming and several colleagues had already made preparations for outflanking on the map. One hundred people actually wanted to outflank three to four hundred people of the Nine Admirals. This was really arrogant!
But the reality is so full of drama. When it comes to head-to-head confrontation, the murderous spirit developed by the modern new army based on discipline is definitely not comparable to the loose medieval army!
The soldiers of the Nine Admirals are nothing more than a group of masters who bully the common people. They don't have many real rifles in their hands, most of them have swords and spears!
As soon as they came into contact with these new Imperial Guard troops, they became a squad of Imperial Guard troops. They held forty or fifty people with bayonets and kept retreating. No one dared to step forward and fight!
One hundred outflanked four hundred, and that was how it was done. In the end, the alley around Bajiao Liulijing was filled with soldiers who were forced to put down their weapons by bayonets. They were squatting in the corner and didn't know what to do!
They didn't dare to fight in the first place, and with the coward Zaicheng not even daring to give orders, they had even more reason to put down their weapons!
Ma Ming and Sanbao, one on the left and the other on the right, protected Er Mao and walked along the alley towards Bajiao Liulijing. Along the way, they saw that the noses of these cowardly soldiers were crooked!
Bah... That Sanbao spat on the forehead of a soldier squatting in the corner. The soldier was so frightened that he didn't even dare to wipe it. He quickly lowered his head and got into his crotch to pretend that he didn't exist.
"Just these bastards...just these two-gun soldiers...just copied Director Manshun? Where can I find reason? Ah...is there any justice?"
Er Mao said with a cold face, "Our intelligence work was not done well. We can't blame others... Don't think about anything else, hurry up and save people!"
After kicking open the front door of Jingzhai, there were two soldiers squatting inside. There was a pool of blood on the ground. Er Mao's expression changed, "Whose blood is this...?"
"Report...report to your lord...it belongs to Boss Jingzhai...and his apprentice..."
When he heard that it was not Manshun's blood, Ermao breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly walked a few steps through the back door and entered the courtyard directly!
"Go down and take a look! Where are your leaders? Who brought you here..." Ma Ming yelled, and no one in the yard dared to speak!
Crash... there was a sound of bayonets, and the sharp blades were pointed at the throats of several officers. The frightened junior colonel, whose face turned pale, said in a sharp voice, "Here it is! It's in this tank..."
The Sanbao rushed over and opened the lid of the broken wood and looked inside. He was so happy that he said, "Ouch... Ouch... Isn't this Lord Beile? I wish you well, little one!"
"What kind of look do you have? It's very unique! I'm going to use a camera that I don't need to hire a foreigner to take as a souvenir of you!"
Cheng Beile looked up and saw that it was Er Mao and was a little panicked. Among the eunuchs in the capital, it was recognized that this Er Mao was the most difficult to mess with. There was no way he could do it. His godfather's power behind him was too great!
"You...what do you want to do? I'm telling you! I'm Cheng Beile, you can't make mistakes!"
Er Mao shook his head and walked over, "Master Beile! The emperor's decree has been passed down. Are you going to kneel in the pickle vat to receive the order? Why don't you come out quickly..."
It turned out that it was a decree and not an internal strife and murder, which made Zai Chun somewhat relieved. He tried hard to climb out of the tank with both hands, but his legs were too weak and he couldn't get out.
"Come on, two people, please bring Lord Beile... out!"
Ermao waved his hand, and two soldiers came over, holding rifles in one hand, and with the other hand, they pulled out Zaicheng like a radish.
