"Zaichun rebelled on his own? Or during the wedding night?" Yikuang was completely confused. This account was really unclear!
"That's right, he started his own rebellion, started the fire, and spread the rumors on the Qinghe construction site. The only purpose of this foolish king is to frame him!"
"He has wronged me to death! He is using the riots outside the city to kill my head!"
"You think it's impossible? But who else could it be besides him? I've already analyzed Xiao Letian's side. Killing me is just a way to vent his anger and it won't do anything good for his career!"
"And once the imperial court is in chaos, his concession plan can only be shelved and waited... For businessmen, preparing a plan requires preparing funds in advance!"
"We have hundreds of millions of silver ready. Do you know how much interest it will cost if it is delayed for one day? Even if Xiao Letian is rich, he would not dare to waste money like this!"
"So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and long nights and dreams, he will not take action to mess up the court. This will not do him any good!"
"For the sake of venting one's anger and disregarding the long-term interests of the Chinese people, this is not Xiao Letian's style!"
"Except Xiao Letian, who else could it be? Could it be the Hunan Army? No, no, no... Of course the Hunan Army is suspicious, but those Han people have always been cautious about haste and must be patient!"
"The days of Zeng Guofan's great mourning have not passed for the first seven days, so you start to rebel against the imperial court? Impossible. Besides, now that Zeng Guofan is dead, there are no senior members of the Hunan Army in the capital who can plan such a big situation!"
"Li Hongzhang can't do it. Look how honest he has been during this period. He didn't say a word... Peng Yulin can't do it either. He doesn't have such a big picture!"
"Only the Ninth Commander Zeng Guoquan has this ability, but he is in Jiangning and not in Beidi!"
"The rest are the foreign devils. The British are also eyeing the railway contract. They are businessmen like Xiao Letian and will never mess up the court at this time. There is no benefit!"
"As for the United States, France, Tsarist Russia, Germany, etc., they don't have so much energy to accomplish this kind of thing, and they will not get any benefits either!"
"After everything has been overthrown, there is only one last suspect! Zai Chun started his own rebellion and planned his own plan to kill us!"
"Hahaha..." Guiziliu laughed sadly, "What a ruthless method, I am not as good as him! This kid learned the same thing as his father!"
"Not only that, he was also infected by the evil spirit Xiao Letian, and he was filled with the shameless plots and plans of the foreign devils!"
"Only foreigners have such a shameless face. They will do whatever it takes for their own interests and have no scruples!"
Prince Gong made such an analysis, and there was some truth to it. Yixuan and Yikuan immediately panicked, "Brother Six... what should we do? If you follow what you said, Zaichun will raid our home next." Got it!"
"Yes, it must be a house raid... If my calculations are correct, they will not only raid the house but they will also create conflicts in the process..."
"When the time comes, take advantage of the chaos of the night and shoot us directly! Make it a death without any evidence and a fait accompli!"
"At that time, all the officials of the imperial court and the nobles of the palace will be too late tomorrow even if they want to save us!"
Yikuan's legs went weak and he slumped on the chair and almost peed his pants. Zaicheng and Enguang, who were guarding the door of the flower hall, turned around and barged in, "Amma! Let's rebel! Gather the servants and rush to Xizhimen!" After leaving the city, go straight to our camp, take back your military power and fight with this foolish king!"
Guiziliu shook his head and said in despair, "Since Zai Chun has already made such a plan, how could he not make preparations? There is no possibility of breaking out. The nine gates of the capital are covered with iron gates and have been locked for a long time!" "
"Haha... My child, think about it for a moment. If you were that foolish king, wouldn't you be prepared for this move? What if, there are horse cavalry outside the city! When the time comes, tens of thousands of horses will trample us, and we will not even be able to get rid of our flesh and blood. There won’t even be a piece left!”
Wuwuwu... Yikuang couldn't stand it anymore. He covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly, "What should I do? I'm going to die, I'm going to die... I haven't earned enough money yet, and I haven't found enough women yet... …”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I don't want to die..."
"We can't sit still and wait for death! Now we have no choice but to escape... hide in the inner city of the capital and wait for dawn! We can only wait for the forces in the court to save us the next day!"
Guiziliu made a mistake, he made two important mistakes! But he himself had no idea!
The first one is, of course, that he misanalyzed the man behind the scenes and mistakenly believed that Zai Chun was the conspirator!
The second mistake was not to break out of Xizhimen in time, because at this moment, the sound and shadow of the Kunming Lake garrison were already seen in the Wanshengyuan area outside Xizhimen!
These vanguard troops loyal to Prince Gong have already seen the grass market outside Xizhimen. The entire army has brought enough equipment and even explosives to blast the city gate!
If Prince Gong can gather all the combatable forces of the three palaces at this time and attack from inside and outside Xizhimen, the city gate will be broken!
After seeing the Xizhimen Gate Tower, the direct descendants of Prince Babai Gong shouted excitedly, "Brothers! Xizhimen has been captured by the prince, rush into the city and save the prince!"
"Don't be afraid, we are backed by a hundred thousand troops. As long as the prince is safe, we will overthrow the Hunjun and give the prince a yellow robe!"
"Welcome the prince to ascend the throne! Kill him..."
The Eight Hundred Xishan Camp rushed out from Caoshi and headed straight for Xizhimen Wengcheng!
The three treasures on the top of the city looked down like a fool, "Ouch... Ouch... just a few people are going to rebel?"
"Wait a little longer...wait a little closer and shoot, let them see for a long time!"
There was no movement in the dark Xizhi Gate. Engineers from the Xishan Battalion charged forward carrying explosives. They brought enough explosives to blow open the city gate. As long as they were allowed to get close to the wooden gate!
One hundred meters, eighty meters, seventy meters... fifty meters!
At this moment, the three treasures on the city wall drew out their sabers and slashed down, "Fire! Kill these bastards..."
Chug tug tug... tug tug tug...
Gatlin's unique shooting sound suddenly sounded, and tongues of fire were spitting on the city wall in the dark night, and then a Mauser gun was pointed outside the city!
Bang bang bang... bang bang bang...
Bullets fell like a dense rain!
"Oops...the intelligence is wrong! The Xizhimen gate is not open, there are enemies above...Lie down, spread out and lie down, fight back..."
"Each company seeks cover and conserves its strength...wait for the prince in the city to break out!"
Eight hundred lone troops sought cover at the grass market outside Xizhimen. They rushed into houses and warehouses, built defensive bunkers, and used the darkness to confront the defenders on the city wall!
The sound of gunfire reached Guangtong Temple. Li Tuo looked in the direction of Xizhimen and laughed excitedly, "I fell into the trap! Sure enough, I fell into the trap! I lured out the defenders of Kunming Lake!"
"Haha...another piece of evidence against Guiziliu!"
