Xiao Letian's judgment was correct. This turmoil really wasn't someone secretly attacking Emperor Tongzhi, and no one conspired to devise such a plan to trap Zai Chun!
It was all because of Zai Chun's carelessness, but he had just come into contact with power, and his officials were still in a state of dissatisfaction. There were not many direct descendants who truly belonged to him!
Some people really didn't see such a big hole, while some people saw it but pretended not to see it, and a small group of people saw it and helped it!
Just like this, what was originally a small problem that could be solved with tens of thousands of taels of silver expanded into a huge hole that required human lives to fill!
The officials from the Ministry of Industry and the soldiers of the Nine Admirals were detained. Zai Chun's temper was completely irritated. He admitted that he had made mistakes and was not considerate, but no matter he was right or wrong, he was the emperor. It’s Mr. Jun!
There are no wrong parents in the world, how dare you idiots talk about right and wrong with your own father? Not only did he speak, but he actually dared to take action? Detaining imperial officers and soldiers is rebellion!
At this time, the only thing the court has to do is to send troops to quell the chaos. No matter how reasonable you are, you have nothing left at this moment!
Emperor Tongzhi ordered Prince Chun Yizhen to personally mobilize a thousand and nineteen admiral soldiers to outflank Lijiaqiao from the north gate. Zai Chun was still worried, so he mobilized another company of Yulin's new army to coordinate!
The so-called cooperation is actually supervision. A company of troops has sent two generals, Ma Ming and Na Sanbao. This company has also removed the most elite Xie Ting, who are all the elites of the new Yulin Army!
Except for Ma Ming and Na Sanbao, who are bannermen, the rest of Yishui are all Fujian mountain people, and they have nothing to do with the people of the capital. Only such an army can be trusted!
Not only that, the Shunyi Barracks is the base camp of the New Yulin Army. This land was acquired from Prince Chun Yigui and was directly expanded into the barracks of the New Yulin Army. There are more than 20,000 main troops stationed here at the moment!
That night, the Shunyi barracks was at the first level of combat readiness, with bright lights and soldiers distributing live ammunition. As long as Ma Ming from the south sent fireworks asking for help, more than 20,000 tigers would immediately set out to support!
Zai Chun's strategy for Ma Ming and others was very clear. Let them control the entire west side of the battlefield and cut off all possible communication between Yixuan's troops and the Xishan Camp!
Since ancient times, the capital has been very cautious in mobilizing troops. I am afraid that there are many scheming people taking advantage of the chaos. If Yixuan takes the opportunity to connect with the Xishan Camp, it will be difficult to deal with the sudden rebellion this night!
The more than 100 people under Ma Ming actually didn't want them to fight. They just wanted them to control the situation. They should monitor Yixuan and not take the opportunity to cause chaos!
All nine gates of the capital were under martial law. No one could open the door that night without the emperor's order. To the north of the battlefield was the Shunyi Barracks, to the west there was Ma Ming's commando to cut off Yixuan's path to the west, and to the east was a flat plain with no large troops. This way This arrangement blocked all possibilities for Yixuan to rebel!
After Yizhen saw this posture that night, he was so sad that he held back his tears and mobilized his troops to march towards Qinghe!
Fifth Master Yi Pei and British Admiral Gordon were stationed directly in Xishan with their personal guards. That night they gathered together all the officers from the battalion level and up in Xishan Battalion!
It was said that there was going to be a late-night meeting, but the whole night was just for everyone to smoke and drink strong tea, and then Gordon talked about several British battles in the Indian subcontinent!
Outside the military tent were the imperial guards in yellow mandarin jackets and groups of royal guards in black clothes and masks. If any of these officers dared to make any small move, they would have to follow Zai Chun's secret order...kill without mercy!
The Xishan Camp has been suppressed, so this night attack can be considered safe! Only Zaichun can rest assured!
Zai Chun was very satisfied with the progress of the matter in the first half of the night. There was no chaos in the ministries, and all the senior officers of the Xishan Camp were also under control!
Even Yi Xin of Xiangshan Temple sent people to visit Zaichun and requested to be stationed on Wanshou Mountain by Kunming Lake. This was a very obvious signal of surrender. The Xishan camp on Wanshou Mountain in Kunming Lake has been moved, and there is no longer any garrison here!
Zai Chun only needs to send dozens of guards to control Yi Xin! This was the statement of Emperor Tongzhi of Yixin. He used this method to prove that this matter had nothing to do with him or anything to do with Xishanying!
Zai Chun did not agree to Sixth Uncle's request because he knew very well that as long as Fifth Uncle and Gordon controlled the senior officials of Xishan Camp, Yixin would not be able to make trouble!
Since there is no threat to Yi Xin, then don't be a bad person tonight and let him practice well in Xiangshan Temple!
I have to say that Zai Chun's handling was very satisfactory and he considered it in detail, but he really didn't expect that the plan would change so quickly!
At ten o'clock that night, the soldiers of the Nine Admirals were forced to rescue people after shouting to no avail. However, they never expected that the more than a thousand people who besieged them in the morning would receive reinforcements in the afternoon!
On this day, rumors spread all over the place, and the entire forty thousand people on both sides of the Qinghe River were stirred up. All kinds of random rumors stirred up panic!
Some people say that the emperor wants to massacre the village, and anyone who takes action today will kill the whole family!
Others say that this steel factory was originally a ghost temple where little ghosts were raised to drive the machines! These were all rumors that were widely criticized during the land expropriation in Tanggu, but I didn’t expect that some people still believe them in this suburb of Beijing!
There is nothing we can do about this. In ancient times, the spread of information was very slow, and there were no official channels to refute rumors. This kind of mysterious thing has long been a joke in Tanggu, but it is still a joke in many places in the Qing Dynasty. Make it a real thing!
Some people are scaring the people to massacre the village, and some are threatening that the emperor will expel everyone from their banners and hometowns!
The second uncle here said that everyone would be sent to Ning Guta as slaves, and the aunt on the other side said that everyone had to go to the Western Regions to serve as soldiers!
The young daughter-in-law is afraid that she will be sent to the Jiaofang Department to become an official prostitute! The young man is afraid that he will become cannon fodder on the battlefield!
Even the old coffin man is worried that the cemetery he has chosen will be leveled and cemented!
Zai Chun planned to relocate 40,000 people, and tonight a total of 6,000 desperate people gathered at Lijiaqiao. The gathering of so many people was not something that the 1,190 admiral soldiers could resist!
As soon as Yixuan's cavalry rushed into the village, he was dumbfounded when he saw thousands of people kneeling on the street, blocking the army's path with their bodies!
The old man with gray braids was lying on the street with his chest exposed and his back, shouting at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty! The court doesn't want us anymore... The emperor doesn't want us anymore... Then come over here!"
"It's pitiful that over the past two hundred years, thirty-six men of my ancestors died on the battlefield... but in the end, I ended up with nothing like this!"
One person cried and hundreds of people roared. Countless old men in the crowd rushed towards the cavalry wearing the armor of their ancestors. "My family has given eighteen lives to the Qing Dynasty in two hundred years! In the end, we are not even willing to give them a meal?"
"It's been more than two hundred years... My family has died in more than 40 battles since entering the customs. There was nothing we could say before we entered the customs... We have been reduced to my branch, and we can't even save a cemetery!"
"My lord... just send someone to chop them off! Our heads can still be used for military merit, and if you stack them together, they can be used as stirrups for your promotion and wealth!"
"Your Majesty... we were wronged..." More than 6,000 people collectively shouted that they were wronged. This scene was so spectacular that Yixuan was so dizzy that she almost fell off the horse!
