"Why are you back again?" Guiziliu held the grasshopper jar in his hand and looked coldly at the dark figure opposite.
The other side bowed his head and replied, "Our prince said that if Emperor Guangxu doesn't kill you in the end and lets you go, especially if you can recognize the love of this Grasshopper Jar, then let me come back..."
"Cook the beans and burn the beans in the bean basket... I didn't expect that Your Majesty still has this kind of brotherhood in his heart!" Quietly, the envoy changed his title and called His Majesty one by one.
"Since Your Majesty still recognizes brotherhood, then the Fifth Prince has another favor to send to you... Your Majesty, please go straight to You'an Gate. This gate is given to Your Majesty by our Prince!"
After saying that, the black shadow turned over and disappeared without stopping at all!
Guiziliu was ecstatic in his heart, "Quick... gather all the cavalry and charge straight to You'anmen! Fifth Brother's words are every word, and there is no mistake!"
Yipei's plan A was to protect Emperor Tongzhi Zaichun, but his plan B was purely to sell Emperor Tongzhi in exchange for his own rights!
In the ups and downs of the officialdom, there are no pure good people and pure loyalty among these prince-level predators. They are all doing it for the survival of their own power.
You can't say that Fifth Master Yi Pei is ruthless. This Yi Pei is not alone. There is a huge force behind him to make a living with him!
If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry? This kind of extremely bachelor thing does not exist in the court. A completely isolated person cannot survive in this kind of power field.
A clique has become a force. If you are the leader, you have the obligation to lead these people to survive and live a better life!
Do you want to choose a path to darkness based on your own preferences, choose who is loyal and who is not loyal? That won't work. You yourself are willing to die for Zaichun, but others haven't lived enough. The collective choice of a force is sometimes greater than the individual choice!
It is very common for groups to kidnap individuals and subordinates to coerce leaders!
No matter how Yi Pei is the King of Heroes, he is still a human being, not a god, and he is powerless when faced with collective decisions. It is all a matter of favor. People have sacrificed their lives for you. Do you really not consider their life and death, wealth or poverty at all?
Therefore, Li Tuo needs to have two plans, AB and CD. In fact, there are plans such as CD and others, but they will not be taken out unless absolutely necessary!
King Dun's defection in battle was a fatal blow to the court. The fifth uncle whom Zai Chun trusted finally stabbed him in the back!
The headquarter of Xishan Camp created by Guiziliu was a bold attempt by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to form a new type of army! Although he was later fought over by Fifth Master Yi Pei and the Englishman Gordon, they were only able to fight part of the fight.
One of the 5th Division's Zaitu rebelled in the end, so will the rest necessarily be loyal?
Maybe loyal, but are they loyal to the emperor? Or are you loyal to your direct leadership? Which one is more embarrassing when facing Yi Pei's general order or the emperor's order?
Gordon is not in the capital at the moment, but is trapped in Tianjin, with no trains and soldiers besieging him. Even if Gordon controls some elites but can't command them, what's the use?
Yi Pei was definitely not bragging when he said that he would offer a city gate. The Japanese army went crazy and led their direct imperial guardsmen to kill You'anmen like crazy!
At four o'clock in the morning, Guiziliu on horseback could already see the tower of Yongdingmen, but he walked around the city and led his army straight towards You'anmen.
This was the darkest moment before dawn. The torches on You'an Gate were brightly lit, outlining the outline of the city gate tower. When Yi Xin rushed here on horseback, gunfire suddenly broke out on You'an Gate and the sound of killing shook the sky!
"Your Majesty! The battalion directly under the Fifth Prince has started a fire fight with Gordon's battalion on the top of the city... You see it's already on fire!"
"Hahaha... Fifth brother, fifth brother, benevolence and righteousness!"
Zai Cheng, who was sweating all over from running, pouted and said, "Renyi? If Renyi, why didn't you surrender to us earlier? So many people died in vain!"
"Bullshit!" Yi Xin glared at his son, "You don't understand anything! How can you, a junior, say that to your fifth uncle? Father and son, brothers fighting tigers, go into battle!"
"If we want to stabilize our empire, we need to have a brotherly relationship! The previous wars were just minor conflicts between brothers, and the past has passed..."
"What does it matter if the untouchables die more or less? They will live after the war anyway, and there will still be so many of them in a few years!"
"Everyone... shouted to the top of the city, saying that Gordon had been captured in Tianjin, and there was no one to command them anymore. The foolish emperor they were loyal to had completely lost. Shouting..."
By the moat under You'an Gate, tens of thousands of rebels shouted to the top of the city, "Hunjun has lost... Don't sacrifice your life to Hunjun..."
"Gordon can't come... He has been captured in Tianjin... Tianjin Wei fell, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway was blown up, and you have no reinforcements..."
War is always about attacking the heart. The elite of Gordon's men who were loyal to Emperor Tongzhi on the city walls became less and less confident the more they fought, and the more they fought, the colder their hearts became!
The sound of gunfire gradually became sparse, and after a while, the heavy city gate creaked open, and at the end of the dark city gate was the capital city, which was blazing into the sky.
"Go into the city...organize these surrendered Xishan Camp soldiers...Haha, are you still impatient with my old face? I was the one who pulled you from your base into a powerful Xishan Camp army back then!"
"Do you still remember me?" Guiziliu angrily yelled at the city gate. The Xishanying soldiers who opened the city gate fell to their knees with a loud bang, "Welcome Your Majesty back to the capital! The 2nd Division, 1st Regiment and 3rd Battalion of Xishanying... I apologize to Your Majesty!"
Yi Xin slowly rode his horse forward. He was enjoying the scene at this moment. As his horse moved forward, more and more defenders fell to their knees. Zai Chun of the Xishan Camp struggled with all his strength. The new army that came to adapt could not escape the curse of the old master in the end!
Prince Gong won, and Xishan Camp made a big circle and returned to the hands of Guiziliu, but how many people died in this circle!
The soldiers kneeling on the ground couldn't understand what the meaning of this war was. After going around in circles, he returned to Prince Gong's men, but after this circle, how many people died, and how many comrades would never be seen again!
No one helped them solve their confusion, and no one even wanted to address their confusion!
"Every unit goes up to the city wall... and attacks the other city gates. Tell them that I, Emperor Guangxu, have won and the capital is mine! All those who surrendered, let bygones be bygones!"
Countless soldiers hurriedly boarded the city wall horse path. At this time, a huge black shadow in the sky slowly approached from the south, and the newly captured airship began to approach north.
"Nancheng has fallen... Your Majesty has entered the city... Surrender without killing..."
Countless horses rushed in from You'anmen. The cavalry on horseback had only one task: to contact the mobs throughout the city and pass on the news that Emperor Guangxu had entered the city!
