On October 16, 1872, Emperor Tongzhi got married! At ten o'clock that night, a major incident occurred that shocked China and the world. It all happened so unexpectedly that the intelligence networks of all the forces inside and outside the capital did not predict the occurrence of this unexpected incident!
In Kunning Palace, the red candles were burning high, and the curtains on the red wedding bed had been drawn down. The maids waiting outside were blushing, and the sound that just came from inside made them so embarrassed that they couldn't even lift their heads!
Zai Chun is indeed experienced. The queen who is new to human affairs is no match for him. She has already been completely defeated in just a short time!
Tonight is a rare day of purity for the emperor. According to the rules of the harem of the Qing Dynasty, even if the emperor is visiting a concubine, there are eunuchs in charge!
Generally speaking, it would not take more than an hour. When that time comes, the eunuchs will force the emperor to cherish his body and bones, and the concubines will be forcibly taken away!
The essence of this rule is a kind of protection for the emperor. On the one hand, he is afraid that the fierce battle will drain his body and bones, and on the other hand, he does not want the emperor to have the reputation of coveting women!
No matter how powerful Zaichun is, there is nothing he can do about this kind of ancestral family law, because if you dare not listen to the Queen Mother of the two palaces, she will take you out from under the bed!
There are two empress dowagers up there looking after you, and the censor outside is also waiting to join you as emperor! If Don't scold Bie Shen because of this, Zai Chun would also feel embarrassed!
The only exception is today, because today is his wedding day, and the Queen will spend the whole night with him. You can score as many scores as you want, no one cares about you!
"Be good... split it a little... split it a little more..." Zai Chun's teasing laughter sounded in the marriage bed, but at this moment, the closed door of Kunning Palace was suddenly knocked!
"Asshole! Who dares to break down the palace door? Don't you want your life? Drag him out and beat him to death!" Zai Chun's head poked out from the curtain, with a look of anger on his face!
"Long live...long live...it's my fourth birthday...it's me! Something big has happened. Even if you beat me to death, you have to let your slaves come in to talk!"
Fourth birthday? Zai Chun was shocked. This slave didn't know the rules. If he dared to smash the door of Kunning Palace at this time, something big had happened!
The queen was also frightened and hurriedly started dressing the emperor. The couple was in a hurry for a long time!
At this time, the palace door also opened a crack, and Da Sixi rolled in like a meat ball. Outside in the shadow of Kunning Palace, there were still kneeling Ma Ming, Na Sanbao and other senior officials of the new imperial army!
Da Sixi knelt in front of Emperor Tongzhi and kowtowed desperately, "Your Majesty... An emergency report suddenly came from the northwest corner of the Forbidden City. Just now, fire suddenly shot into the sky outside Desheng Gate. It could be seen for dozens of miles, and half of the sky was red... "
"Long live my lord! Something big happened in the north of the capital. There are big changes!"
"What!" Zai Chun was shocked, "Get up and help me get dressed! Damn it, you just won't let me get married in peace, right? This isn't over yet..."
After getting dressed in a hurry, Zai Chun was ready to leave the palace. Before leaving, he turned back and held the queen's face and said softly, "You can rest peacefully in the palace while I go fight the flies... Let's fight again when I come back!" "
After saying that, Zai Chun kissed the queen deeply on her forehead, then turned around and left!
The queen looked at Zai Chun walking out of Kunning Palace with a red face. At that moment, she really felt that the emperor's arms were so majestic. This man was her shield from the wind and rain!
The person next to him was the maid he brought from home. She was a close family member. When she saw the emperor leaving, she quickly came over to help the queen put on her pajamas. She couldn't be naked all the time!
As a result, the two maids agreed. When they saw the scene behind the curtain, their smiling faces turned as red as a monkey's buttocks: "Oh...Long live the Lord...Why is this like this...Miss, no, no, no, the Queen really dotes on him... How can you agree to this?"
What happens behind the curtains of the wedding bed? This is not enough for outsiders to say!
After Zai Chun left Kunning Palace, officials from the Yulin New Army followed closely behind. The group walked quickly towards the Imperial Garden, which was very close to the Shenwu Gate. After a while, they passed the Shunzhen Gate and were at the Shenwu Gate. Put on a war horse!
At this moment, the outer defense system of the Forbidden City, that is, the palace walls surrounding the four cities, were in chaos. A large number of city guard battalion leaders began to rush onto the walls to reinforce the defense!
There were panicked footsteps everywhere, and the atmosphere was extremely tense and depressing! Zai Chun raised his head and looked northwest, and indeed found a faint trace of blood red in the sky!
"Can't see clearly... inform Beiyuan that I'm going to Jingshan!"
Riding across the imperial street and entering the north gate, Beiyuan was now in a state of chaos, with palace maids and eunuchs running around without knowing what they were doing!
Zai Chun rode his horse and rushed up the mountain. As soon as he reached the mountainside, he could already see the fire from the north!
"Ouch... Long Live Lord, look, it is indeed the direction of Deshengmen, the sky is burning red..." Zai Chun held a pine tree with his hand and looked at the red sky in the northwest with cold eyes.
"Is there any other news? It was immediately reported that the military ministers were gathering in Jingshan. It was said that Hunchun had led troops to escort him. The new Yulin Army in the city was divided into two groups. One half guarded the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane and Dongdan Archway, and the other half came here to obey my orders... "
"Can you contact the Guaizima and the New Army outside the city?"
"Is there any change in the nine gates of the outer city? Who is on duty at the infantry commander's office? Where are the troops..."
Order after order came out from Jingshan, the commanding heights of the capital. Zai Chun calmed down, and the people around him calmed down. The fast horses of the Yulin New Army galloped to various ministries in the capital one after another, carrying out the emperor's orders. Pass it on!
What happened in the north? In fact, people outside the city don’t know either!
In ancient times, the city wall of the capital was a complete defense system. It was not as strong as the TV shows! Outside the city wall is the moat, and then outside is the battlefield plain of fighting!
In fact, it is not like that, because after all, the city is narrow and it is impossible to place too many troops. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of the troops who defended the capital lived outside the city, that is, in the area close to the city wall, where there was a large military camp!
There is the Peking University Barracks outside Chaoyang Gate, Dongxiaoguan Gate outside Anding Gate, Guanxiang outside You'an Gate, and Huanggu's Tomb and Dachang outside Desheng Gate. These are all very large-scale military camp gathering places!
There are countless small camps left!
Raising an army is not a simple matter. Barracks, warehouses, forage yards, weapons depots, police stations... all kinds of buildings occupy a large space outside the city gate!
The terrain of Deshengmen is very strange. There is a water gate that leads directly to the city. You must know that there are Haizi in the capital, Beihai, Shichahai, Houhai... the moat of the imperial palace, these rippling lakes are all introduced from the Yuquan Mountain in the west of Beijing. direction of the river.
The topography of the capital is somewhat interesting. The city wall between Deshengmen and Xizhimen is not a right angle, but a slightly curved wall!
Therefore, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the city of Beijing never had a northwest corner, because the city wall did not have a corner here at all!
