For the sake of great ideals and goals, it doesn't matter if I wrongly accuse you of being a Japanese soldier, even if I sacrifice 40,000 factory slaves in blood, it doesn't matter!
Outsiders don't know the characteristics of the Eight Banners group, but Yi Pei and others who are among them know it very well. This mixed group of relatives, with me in you and you in me, can't be completely separated into several factions. You can't tell the difference at all!
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Eight Banners is full of outsiders, all villains like Lian Xing of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Many people are betting in multiple directions, and even brothers and sisters in the same family have joined different camps!
You don't know who he will be loyal to until the last moment. For example, when Yi Kuang planted two nails in Xizhimen, do you think he has not received any money from Prince Gong and Prince Chun?
Okay, even if he didn't take advantage of Wu Ye Yipei, what about the person in charge who had single-line contact with these two nails? What about the steward who passed Prince Qing's order to them?
Hasn't he received any benefits from Master Wu? Or maybe his wife, brother-in-law, etc. have nothing to do with the Fifth Master?
Of those agitators and provocateurs walking among the factory slaves at the Qinghe construction site, don’t two or more of them get paid?
This is the Eight Banners, this is a chaotic and chaotic environment!
In fact, in such a group, market warriors like Wu Ye have an advantage, because there are many black and gray rules that make it easier to achieve goals!
Some of the craftsmen at the Qinghe construction site were directly under the Fifth Master, and some were instigated by Li Tuo and others to rebel. Although they did not receive orders from Guiziliu, they received orders from the Fifth Master's faction to rebel!
Some people even thought it was Yixin who issued the order! The ridiculous result is that they accepted Guiziliu's money but made wedding clothes for others!
What's more, and the most ridiculous thing, is that he didn't get any instructions, but he saw that others had already taken action, and he followed suit and started to encourage!
It takes a lot of effort. During an avalanche, you only need to pry a small piece of snow on the top of the mountain, and soon the entire snow mountain will collapse!
Not only the Qinghe factory slaves, but also the two hidden stakes at Xizhimen were dragged in. Even worse, the Xishan Camp stationed to the west of Kunming Lake was also agitated at this moment!
There were many palaces in the fifth master Yi Pei's palace. The one inside the capital was the big mansion inside Chaoyang Gate, and the mansion outside the city was located on the campus of Tsinghua University in Xiao Letian's previous life, but at this time it was still a crop field!
This location is not far from Xishan, and it is inevitable that there are also slaves from the Yi Pei family in the Xishan Camp. These slaves will develop some detailed works, which means that the Fifth Master has also infiltrated some power in the Xishan Camp!
And today, these secret operations hidden at the company and platoon level finally started to take action. Under Li Tuo's order, they began to spread rumors!
"Brothers, look at it... Why is it so red over there at Xizhimen..."
"Did Prince Gong take action? Why didn't we receive any orders..."
"Ouch...could it be that Master Long Live took action in advance? When the prince was not paying attention, he suddenly attacked Prince Gong's Mansion. This is a firestorm in the city!"
"What should we do? Discuss it with the company leader? We have been favored by the prince for generations, so we have to save him..."
The sentries on duty were whispering to each other, and the sleeping soldiers were being pushed awake. All the companies were agitated, but the chaos only stayed at the company and platoon level, and the officers at the higher battalion level didn't know about it.
There was no way of knowing that in order to prevent the Xishan Camp from causing chaos during his wedding, Zai Chun specifically asked the Fifth Master Yi Pei to bring all the officers at the battalion level and above in the Xishan Camp into the city!
In name, it was the emperor's grace to let them watch the big wedding, but in fact it was essentially imprisonment!
And Gordon didn't go to the city to watch the big wedding at all. Instead, he took his newly established military police team and began to inspect all Xishan Camp's locations to guard against danger!
On the bank of Kunming Lake, two battalions of troops are stationed here. A total of more than 800 people are stationed in six companies!
Some of the sentries were stationed on Wanshou Mountain to watch the situation in the capital. These 800 people were the first to discover the commotion in the capital!
These two battalions were also the first to become restless, and many people even began to encourage the company commander to go into the city to rescue Prince Gong!
Just when the officer was hesitating, a war horse suddenly rushed from the official road. The man in black on the horse was sweating. He rushed to the camp and shouted, "Emergency assembly... Emergency assembly... The capital is in chaos, Prince Gong's palace is in trouble Attack!"
"The Xizhi Gate in the city should have been opened... At this moment, the Yulin New Army and the palace guards are fighting fiercely in the Xizhi Gate and Desheng Gate areas!"
"Go and save the prince..."
The sentry at the camp shouted "password...do you have a warrant from the prince..."
A group of soldiers did not wait for the arrival to give the command, but they saw the other party fall off the horse with a pop and not knowing whether they were alive or dead!
The soldiers rushed over and reached out to touch, and found that the man's back was covered with blood. "Ouch... He lost too much blood and passed out. Quickly carry him in and rescue him!"
The military doctors at Xishan Camp don’t know how to perform blood transfusions, so how can they possibly cure him in a short time? Just pressing the philtrum won’t work!
Several company commanders surrounded the person who delivered the message and were completely confused. "What should we do? Come up with an idea! What should we do?"
"Now we are the Xishan Army closest to the capital. If we don't save the prince from being killed, how can we be worthy of our master's kindness?"
"But...but none of us know this person! There is no password or handwriting, so how can we trust him?"
"Didn't you listen to what he said? The prince's palace was attacked by surprise! At this time, the prince's life is at stake. How can he have time to write a handwritten letter? He is here to save lives!"
"Brothers, you guys have figured it out! This man said it in front of the whole camp... I think all the soldiers know about it by now. If we don't rescue him, what will these brothers think?"
The six company commanders were all silent. That was how the ancient army was. They were very superstitious about factions. Whoever pulled up the army would be the one to marry!
Because ancient soldiers did not have any ideals and beliefs when fighting, they just wanted to be soldiers for pay. I will be kind to whoever gives me money and who is kind to me!
Xishan Camp is an important achievement of the Qing Dynasty's study of Western learning. It was trained by Prince Gong. The entire Xishan Camp, including ordinary soldiers, all know what the prince looks like!
In recent years, the prince has basically established a personal prestige that has reached the grassroots level. If he just sits on the sidelines indifferently, he will not be able to lead the army in the end!
After a moment of silence, one of the company commanders said, "It's just us six old buddies! Let's just vote, the minority obeys the majority... I'll say the ugly things first!"
"We are just eight hundred brothers. If we are rescued, we will act together, or if we are not rescued, we will stay in the camp together! No one can say that he will quit acting alone!"
"You must know that to go to the capital to rescue the prince is to fight against the new Yulin army. It won't work if there are few people!"
Several people collectively stamped their feet and said fiercely, "Fuck it! I am the son of the prince's family. If I don't save the prince, I will be roasted in an iron cage!"
"The only thing we can do now is fight...I'll do it!"
The others were also cruel and said, "Yes, if we don't save the prince, we will definitely die in the end! And if we fall into the hands of the emperor, we will inevitably have to settle old scores in the future!"
"Stop talking, count me in... count me in..."
