"The dragon flag rises...the Qing Dynasty rises...the new emperor is established...the Yuan Dynasty is changed...Guangxu..."
The red pine tree as thick as a bowl was cleaned, and all branches and bark were peeled off to become a flagpole and stood in the middle of the platform for worshiping the sky.
Originally, the altar was three stories high, and the red pine tree was also about three stories and nine meters high. It towered over the altar. As long as the dragon flag could be raised, all the 140,000 troops could see it!
At this point, the activities of raising troops to worship the sky will be considered completed. When the electricity is turned on, the army across the country will begin to rush north towards the capital. The army from Yixian to the capital will march rapidly, which is only two days away.
Zai Chun had no time to resist, and it was too late to temporarily withdraw his troops.
What a perfect plan. The British and countless spies from within the Eight Banners of the Capital had discovered all the truth and falsehoods on Zaichun's side. Prince Dun's troop formations were all under the control of Guiziliu.
There was no suspense in this battle. The difference in strength was too big. Yi Xin had devoted his whole life to this rebellion drama.
The top of the flagpole is equipped with a Chinese-made red copper pulley. The dragon flag can be raised very smoothly with a rope. Two Eight Banners disciples, one on the left and one on the right, began to pull the rope, and the dragon flag slowly went up.
At this moment, the organizers in the army suddenly burst into even more excited roars, "Long live! Long live Emperor Guangxu..."
"Shout... you haven't eaten yet... shout quickly, even if your throat is broken, you have to shout..."
"Follow me and shout...Long live Emperor Guangxu! Long live! Long live!"
The officers in the crowd scolded their lazy men and even kicked them up. Some soldiers had been standing for a long time. For today's ceremony, they got up at four o'clock in the morning, ate some dry food, and started standing after five o'clock. Waiting here for the review of Emperor Guangxu.
It was now past twelve o'clock at noon, and standing guard for eight full hours was too much for most people. After shouting for a long time, they had lost all their strength, and some people's voices were hoarse from shouting.
But the three thousand prayers have already been bowed, and there is no need to tremble during the final raising of the flag. Just shout if the officer asks you to shout, even if your throat is hoarse, you have to shout!
"Shout now...shout now...fuck...someone is making stew for you in the back! There will be good food and good food in a minute...just hold on for a while!"
Just like this, even with threats and coaxing, the military formation actually erupted into the most fervent cheers since the ceremony. The sound shook the whole country and even the tiles on the Xiling Ming Tower buzzed. Birds and animals all over the mountains and plains fled without a trace. .
The Japanese soldier Liu Yixin was completely drunk, and even his son Zai Cheng, who became the prince, burst into tears with excitement.
This is about to become the emperor, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, how can you not be excited!
The other heroes from Conglong were also infected by the atmosphere, and they all fantasized about their upcoming titles as marquises and prime ministers!
Ronglu thought in his mind that if these armies could march to the capital immediately and open the city gates inside and outside, it would be difficult even if Emperor Tongzhi had a hundred thousand new troops.
If millions of disaster victims are used as cannon fodder shields, how many shells and bullets will be consumed? I brought down your Emperor Tongzhi alive!
There is a door, there really is a door! I, Ronglu, have finally caught up. If I don’t change my title to a duke this time, even if I do it in vain!
There were many people who had the same thoughts as Ronglu. Looking at the slowly rising bright yellow dragon flag, their faces turned red with excitement.
But among all the people, there was one person who was not fanatical. His face turned pale instead of red. When the dragon flag was halfway up, when everyone was dreaming about the dream of promotion and wealth.
Suddenly, in the farthest corner among the ministers, a man burst out with an ear-piercing scream: "Rebellion! Traitor! Guiziliu, you are a traitor..."
"Bullshit emperor...you are a rebel...a rebel..."
As he spoke, a figure rushed out from among the ministers and ran forward like crazy, but the target was not Emperor Guangxu Yixin, but headed straight for the flagpole.
"Ah! Manshun! You want to die..." Everyone exclaimed, and then they saw clearly that the person who was scolding was the most marginalized Eunuch Manshun!
Manshun is one of the four eunuchs under Zaichun. He is a close confidant. He has indeed acted in several dramas since he was surrendered!
When the rebels from all walks of life gathered for a meeting, Manshun stood aside and listened. When people saw that Manshun, Zaichun's cronies, had surrendered, everyone became more morale. It can be seen that Emperor Tongzhi was a rebellious emperor!
Manshun didn't say anything or do anything. Anyway, he just poked there and turned into a clay doll. You only need to control my food and wine every day, and sleep after drinking too much.
Guiziliu didn't bother to care about him, and he didn't have any errands for him. He just wanted him to be a propaganda doll.
Today is the grand ceremony to raise troops to worship the heavens. Naturally, he has to show up. He wants more than 100,000 troops to see with their own eyes that all the eunuchs and supervisors around Emperor Tongzhi have surrendered and that Zai Chun has deserted his relatives!
But Manshun was not a close minister after all, so he couldn't stand next to Emperor Guangxu. He could only stand in a daze at the edge of the corner of the altar!
No one expected that at the last moment of raising the flag, he would rush out. What did he want to do? Assassinate Emperor Guangxu? This is impossible. There are five rows of officials separated between the two of them, so there is no way they can rush through!
If Manshun was not stupid, he would not assassinate Guiziliu. That would be impossible!
Manshun is trying to mess up your heaven-sacrifice ceremony. Even if he dies, he will break the feng shui of your heaven-sacrifice ceremony!
"Rebel... I am your ancestor..." A eunuch, this is a eunuch! Shouting slogans demanding the Sixth Ancestor of the Japanese Japs, they rushed towards the altar and tribute table.
No one had time to catch him, Manshun overturned the incense burner in one fell swoop, and the top-quality tribute incense that had not yet been burned was overturned to the ground.
Manshun's speed did not slow down and he headed straight for the flagpole!
"My day... you..." Before the curse words could be finished, people heard a muffled sound!
Manshun hit the flagpole with his head, and red and white sprayed all over the floor, and even a few sprayed onto the dragon flag!
Manshun! He used his own life to stick to his oath of loyalty to Emperor Tongzhi!
Yes, he is just a eunuch, and he cannot defeat these generals and guards with his weak hands, but this eunuch also has strong bones!
You have surrendered. I will not surrender. Not only will I not surrender, I will also ruin the feng shui of your ceremony and finally destroy your ancestors!
Overturning the incense burner, I hit my head on the dragon flag pole and died. The blood of my despicable eunuch will also pollute your yellow dragon flag!
Do you want to rebel smoothly and become emperor? Bah... The Za family is disgusting to you!
You Japanese Liu family don't regard me as a human being. If you wanted to cripple my head back then, you could cripple me. Now if you want me to surrender, just surrender?
Go ahead and dream! I will be killed by your strong bones in your military ceremony!
Let these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians see what you, Guiziliu, are!
I am a eunuch, I don’t have a second son, but I won’t be a second official!
"Go to hell...the Zajia...Japanese...ancestors!"
Manshun died, very quickly. The impact was too great, and the skull that had been operated on was severely damaged again.
Without even a little struggle, Manshun's body broke the flagpole, and the inertia carried his body out of the high platform!
The 140,000 rebels watched as a corpse fell from a high platform and then hit the ground heavily!
At that moment, the world was quiet!
The wind rustles and the water becomes cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!
