Yi Xin slumped on the chair. He never expected that his son would be so crazy, even crazier than himself!
Guiziliu wanted to kill Zai Chun and become the emperor himself, but the limit he could achieve was assassination. He still had some sense of family and country in his heart and was afraid of breaking all the altars!
Because when Guiziliu and his father, Emperor Daoguang, studied governing the country together, he was deeply influenced by his father. At the same time, he also experienced the decades of war that almost disintegrated the Qing Empire!
Of course he knew how miserable it would be after the civil war started, and how difficult it would be to recover!
But Zaicheng is a pampered person, and he doesn't have so many scruples in his heart. All he wants is to be happy and to achieve his goal at all costs!
What's more, he didn't expect that his son would actually think of himself with Prince Qing Yikuang, and the two people would actually form an alliance!
Who is Yikuang? The most famous dandy of the Eight Banners King, he was good at eating, drinking, having fun and making money. Moreover, if this man had money, he would not keep it in the Qing Dynasty's bank account, nor would he bury it in the ground!
When this person has money, he deposits it in banks in Europe. Britain, France, and the United States now have Germany. Banks in all countries have his accounts. He just doesn’t know the name of Swiss Bank. If Xiao Letian tells him the name of Swiss Bank, The good thing is, he probably has to open an account!
A person who doesn't even save money in his own country, you want him to be patriotic? This guy's thoughts are no longer in the Qing Dynasty. He is an absolute egoist and has no family and country in his heart!
But it was precisely because of his greed and uselessness that he did not arouse the fear of others. There were countless people in the court who hated him, but no one regarded him as an enemy and insisted on executing him!
Because everyone thinks he is a money-grubbing waste!
But today, Yi Kuang proved with his actual actions that he has the same brave and ruthless genes of the Eight Banners flowing in his veins, and he also has the cruel and murderous nature of the royal family!
It turns out that this guy doesn’t just love money, he also loves power!
Zaicheng and Yikuang, including Xie Duowan and Eratu, actually came up with such a crazy plan!
Destroy the entire Forty-Nine City, launch a mutiny and riot among the people, and directly use the human wave tactics to drown Zaicheng's new imperial army!
How many bannermen are there in Beijing? This is a secret of the imperial court, which is generally not disclosed to Han officials, and even to some low-ranking Manchu officials!
But Guiziliu knew the details. In the early years of the Tongzhi Dynasty, the Zongren Mansion and the Zongzheng Mansion conducted a large-scale investigation of the banner men in the capital!
The Forty-Nine Cities include counties outside the city such as Changping, Daxing, Shunyi, Tongzhou, etc., with a total of more than 900,000 people from the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners!
If we exclude the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the population of the Eight Banners alone has exceeded 600,000!
Excluding half of the female relatives among these 600,000 people, there are still 300,000 men left. Excluding 100,000 old and young, the number of people who can fight exceeds 200,000!
The Han military flag is not trustworthy, but the Mongolian Eight Banners are still trustworthy. With another 100,000 recruited from them, the capital will have a full 300,000 combatable bannermen!
In addition to the 100,000 Xishan Camp, a strength of 400,000 is enough to make a fuss!
Zaicheng and Yikuang's plan was to launch a riot among the entire Eight Banners ethnic group while Emperor Tongzhi and the Queen were under the covers!
Now is really an opportunity. Zai Chun went against the grain and turned tens of thousands of banner slaves in Qinghe into factory slaves, which made the entire Eight Banners group panic. Previously, there was a tragedy in which Chinese airships massacred Eight Banners disciples, which caused a volcano of public resentment at the bottom!
The ground is full of dry firewood, and as long as there is a spark, the whole city will be in flames!
The princes and nobles who opposed Zai Chun could send out all their servants and servants. Instead of charging into battle, they would fill the capital with fire and kill people, and then blame Emperor Tongzhi!
It doesn't matter if Xizhimen cannot be opened from the inside. Let the bannermen in the city attack the city directly from the inside, and they can defeat it even if they flood it with human lives!
What should Xishan Camp be afraid of without its senior officers? Yixin had been prepared for a long time. She wanted to give birth to a slave in a family like Oratu. She had no problem being a division commander, but she lowered her status and became a battalion commander!
And a large number of slaves who could be battalion and regiment-level officials have become company commanders or platoon commanders!
This sinking of power is actually a secret strategy devised by Guiziliu to hide the truth. The sinking of control means that he has the ability to skip high-level officers and directly organize and issue orders to the company and platoon!
This is a very clever move. Zai Chun's purge of Xishan Camp did not reach the company platoon level at all, which means that as soon as Guiziliu shows up in Xishan Camp, all the lower-level officers will immediately follow his lead!
By that time, the capital city had been beaten to a pulp anyway, regardless of whether it was organized or not, the 100,000 Xishan army swarmed into the Forbidden City!
Prince Gong's Mansion was originally located to the north of the Forbidden City, and Xizhimen was also northwest of the capital. The main attack direction of the army and the rebels must be North City!
Burning the North City to ashes, cutting off the connection between Zai Chun and the New Imperial Army in the north, on the one hand blocking the reinforcements of the New Imperial Army in the north, and on the other hand mobilizing soldiers and civilians to storm the Forbidden City!
The Eight Banners is originally a mixed organization. There is me among you, and you among me! Once the chaos reaches the point of chaos throughout the city, the Forbidden City will also collapse!
There were so many eunuchs, guards, and soldiers protecting the city in the palace. It was impossible for everyone to listen to Emperor Tongzhi!
While the outside forces storm the four city gates, the inside should find ways to create chaos and even open the city gates to respond. As long as the mob breaks into the Forbidden City, the sky will fall and the earth will fall!
Kill it! Grab it! Burn it! The Old Summer Palace is gone, and I don’t care if there is no more Forbidden City! Anyway, with the imperial power in hand, there will be plenty of opportunities to rebuild the palace!
If the riot of 400,000 people cannot push back Zai Chun, then let alone talk about rights or not, just use this incompetence, and the Qing Dynasty will also perish!
Yi Xin was so frightened that he sweated profusely, and a hell-like scene emerged in his mind. The entire capital was red in the night, flames lit up the sky, and ashes flew around like jackdaws covering the sky!
"No way... If you do this, all the capitals of our Qing Kingdom will be destroyed..."
"When the Manchus bleed dry, the Han people will find an opportunity... No way!"
"Haha...brother! Even if we all don't bleed, then the Han people have no chance? Zeng Guofan can stop your assassination by himself, but what can you do with Xiao Letian's airship killing people casually?"
Yikuang yawned loudly, "Ah...my brother! In today's Qing Dynasty, the feast is just over and there are only leftovers on the table!"
