"Your Majesty, there is one last important matter to discuss...Only your Majesty can judge this matter. I beg your Majesty to hold on for a moment longer!"
Baojun looked at Zai Chun's tired face and knew that the emperor had not slept for more than 24 hours. In addition, the cold wind blew all night long, and his body and bones were in need of nourishment!
But Baojun and the others can't let Emperor Tongzhi rest yet, because Prince Dun in Zhuozhou is already on the front line. Now that the situation has changed, the court has to come up with a strategy!
"Your Majesty, we have the battalion head that we can now hold. There are three divisions of the Yulin New Army with a total of 30,000 people. Ma Ming, Bai Min and Doluo are leading the command respectively. At this moment, Bai Min's second division has followed. Prince Dun is close to Zhuozhou...the remaining two divisions have been defending the capital!"
"There are 20,000 kidnapping horses in total, divided into two armies: the left army and the right army. General Shu'er leads the left army, and General Bailang leads the right army. This time Prince Dun only ordered General Shu'er to bring 3,000 iron weapons to support the front line..."
"The Xishan Camp was originally under Prince Gong... No, no, no, the traitorous Japs Six had 80,000 soldiers. Later, after the Japs Six were banned, Gordon and Prince Dun began to reorganize..."
"The 80,000 Xishan Battalion has been reduced to 50,000, of which Gordon leads 30,000. There are three divisions in total, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions! The 4th and 5th divisions were reorganized by Prince Ton!"
"Now there are Bai Min's Yulin New Army's 2nd Division, Xishanying's 3rd Division and 5th Division in Zhuozhou, plus General Xiao'er's 3,000 kidnap horses, a total of 33,000 people!"
"Your Majesty, should these 30,000 people attack to meet the enemy, stay and defend, or retreat to the capital to shrink their strength for defense? Your Majesty, you must have a general direction!"
Everyone fell silent immediately. This was the most important issue. Thirty-three thousand people fought against Prince Gong's army. Everyone felt sad in their hearts!
"Your Majesty! The traitor said that there are millions of rebels. This is definitely an exaggeration. However, according to the size of the previous refugee wave, the number of victims trapped in the Sixth Japanese Residence, plus the direct descendants he raised, is still more than 100,000... "
"The number of people on Prince Dun's side is too small... If we fight, we must reinforce immediately. If we don't fight, we must withdraw. We cannot be isolated outside!"
Zai Chun felt a constant headache, "Yes, thirty-three thousand is indeed a little less, but these thirty-three thousand are my purely Western-style field regiment, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared to those of the traitors!"
"No matter what, we have to fight... Baojun, please send a telegram to Prince Dun and give him the right to adapt to the situation before the battle!"
"We have to fight! There are not many soldiers in my new army who have experienced actual combat. Many of them are on the battlefield for the first time. It would be ominous if we retreat without firing a shot!"
"Look for opportunities to fight a few victorious battles. If the bandit army is strong, King Dun can retreat to the capital to temporarily avoid their attack!"
"Haha... It is said that my new army is one against ten, so how can it resist an army of 300,000 people? I want to see if my sixth uncle can put up an army of 300,000 people!"
Zai Chun was very tired by now. He closed his eyes and leaned on the bed and waved his hands, "That's it! I'm going to take a nap. If there is any change, wake me up..."
That’s it, what else can you say? They could only retreat quietly. After walking out of the Gate of Supreme Harmony, several ministers whispered a few words to each other and then left the Forbidden City!
Baojun left the Forbidden City through the Meridian Gate. As soon as he arrived at the Jinshui Bridge, he saw a row of soldiers in front of him pulling out the cordon, and behind it was a dark explosion scene.
Baojun walked over quickly, but the soldiers did not dare to stop him and let the military minister enter the scene. As soon as he entered, there was a smell of burnt meat!
The location of Qianbu Corridor was the grand square of later generations. At this time, there were duty rooms of the Sixth Department on both sides. Inside were the post-writing Zhang Jing and others who were on errands.
It can be regarded as a circle of office areas outside the Forbidden City. During the day, there are many petty officials and officials on duty to handle government affairs!
These people sometimes bring their own lunch, or their family members send it to them. Those who are particularly wealthy will go out to eat in restaurants, while most of them chip in and have it cooked and delivered by restaurants in the city!
Today's incident happened on the carriage that delivered food to the restaurant. It was a carriage that was used to driving, and the soldiers were very lax in checking it, but no one expected that this carriage would be involved in an accident.
When we arrived at the entrance of the industrial department, a handyman sweeping the floor subconsciously asked, "When did your family change its clerk? It's very unfamiliar..."
With this sentence, the expression of the waiter who delivered the food changed drastically, and he suddenly got into the carriage. A burning smell came out, followed by an explosion...
The entire duty room of the Ministry of Industry was destroyed by the explosion, and the surrounding rooms were also affected. There were already many people outside the Qianbu Corridor, and many people were injured now.
Listening to the survivor's retelling, Baojun's heart felt cold. No one thought that Yixin would raise dead soldiers with such cruel methods!
We walked a little further and reached Zhengyangmen. After careful inspection, the same thing happened. A carriage rushed in like crazy. The dead man driving the carriage had no intention of living. He was shot three times in the body and finally set the carriage on fire. Explosives inside!
Looking south from Zhengyang Gate, Qianmen Street has become a complete mess. Countless traders are unloading the door panels. The waiters are so frightened that their legs are weak, and the shopkeepers are speechless!
"Close the door, close the door... This business can't be done. The Imperial City has been bombed. It's important for us to save our lives... Hurry up and buy tickets for Tianjin and let's go..."
Rich businessmen are running for their lives, but ordinary people are also afraid! Anyone whose family had some connections outside the capital was trying to find a way to survive. On the rickshaw, every family was carrying parcels, and they all ran towards Dongzhimen Station!
Once the market is in chaos, there will be more people taking advantage of the troubled waters. Bao Yun watched a group of capital policemen chasing a few thieves or robbers, running through the alleys and gasping for air!
Listen carefully, the whole city is in chaos, there are all kinds of strange noises!
"Asshole! Your Majesty has ordered the entire city to be under martial law. What does your Capital Police Headquarters do? Where is King Yu? Where are the soldiers dispatched by King Yu?"
The soldiers who were stopped kowtowed to Qian'er, "Your Majesty, the reinforcements sent by the King of Yu are maintaining law and order in the North City. They said they would start martial law in the North City first. There are all big shots in the inner city..."
"Fuck! Don't you know that there are so many people in Nancheng? In the land of merchants, news is everywhere. If you don't maintain this place first, why are you maintaining the inner city?"
"There are troops guarding the Imperial City in the inner city. What trouble can happen? Suppress the chaos in the southern city first! A waste... Prince Yu is also a waste!"
Bao Jun was also furious. He started to scold the Iron Hat King on the street regardless of his status. However, at this juncture, no one dared to say anything wrong about him. He could only obey his orders and carry out the orders immediately.
Baojun looked at the chaos in the capital and his heart was dripping with pain. "This is the most benign place in the capital! This is the most benign place in the capital! How could it be such a mess!"
"Send troops! Control all train stations in the capital... At this time, there is a mixture of good and bad, and the train station is the most dangerous place!"
