237 Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a great peasant uprising that shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, which directly changed the situation of the Manchu Dynasty and shook the foundation of the Manchu people. There is no need to analyze his significance too much, just from the founding of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it is already very different from other peasant uprisings.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was rampant in the south of the Yangtze River for thirteen years, and at its peak, the Northern Expeditionary Army even hit the hinterland of Zhili to shock China, and even the Western powers considered establishing diplomatic relations with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This is a nightmare in the hearts of all Manchurians, a short-lived dynasty that is feared at the mere mention of a name.
Prince Gong was about to go crazy, and the conch and horn that called the police under his order were blown off, and the Forbidden City was called to the police as soon as possible.
The reaction of the Shuntian Mansion and the Admiral of the Nine Gates was far less fast than that of the secret guards of the Forbidden City, Prince Gong was now a very important nobleman among the Manchus, and the diplomacy of the entire empire depended on him, as the emperor's own uncle, his life and death were related to the safety of the imperial family.
The secret protector in the Forbidden City is the first wave of action, the ancestor actually took his guards out in person, Prince Gong's Mansion and the Forbidden City are not far away, in front of these light masters who wear the house and jump the ridge like the flat ground, an obstacle is like a smooth road.
The old ancestor's gray hair was beating in the wind, and there were dozens of disciples and grandchildren around him, these people flew on the roof like ghosts in mid-air, and the whole team was like a sharp knife stabbing straight into King Gong's mansion.
Just as the team had just crossed the ice of Houhai, countless black-clothed people suddenly flashed on both sides of the sharp knife, and the team quickly fell into an ambush circle.
"The light of the fireflies dares to compete with the bright moon? The children ...... "The ancestor still wanted to shout two words to suppress the position, but the other party didn't say a word, and took out a pistol and snapped it was a round of rapid fire."
"Shameless...... You are a disgrace to the warriors... Shame on you, shame on the face of the ancestor...... "The white-haired old ancestor watched the four apprentices and grandchildren dodge and was shot into a sieve by foreign guns, and he jumped to his feet angrily and scolded.
The emergence of foreign guns has changed the world, especially the hearts of the world, and the old-school martial arts people like Lao Zu hate foreign guns the most, because this kind of weapon has changed the soil on which they live, and foreign guns are the main culprits in the extinction of Chinese martial arts.
"The abuse of foreign guns, the assassination of the prince, and the hatred of the country and the family are all in front of you...... The children drove them all to ......" The old ancestor gave an order, and the whole team split into two and counterattacked towards the encirclement.
These secret guards of the Forbidden City didn't expect that they had now fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and these black-clothed people feinted to attack Prince Gong's Mansion to attract the attention of the imperial court here, and to bring out the old ancestor and other people with special abilities, and the thief team is now lurking near the Donghua Gate.
The location of the Tai Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy is in the East Three Places of the Forbidden City, on the east side of the Taihe Palace, and the Huangji Hall is located in the north, which is the place where all the doctors in the palace gather, and the famous doctors and good medicines from all over the world are gathered here.
The height of the Forbidden City's walls is about more than nine meters, and the height of the three-story building is difficult for ordinary people to resist the green forest masters who come and go, and it is even more difficult to resist Xiao Letian's classic silver bullet attack.
No matter how powerful the fortress is, it can be broken from within, and the Qing Dynasty at this time has long since lost the sharpness of the founding of the country, and hundreds of years of mud and sand have made some renegades appear within the imperial court and even within the children of the Eight Banners. Although they did not officially betray the imperial court, their greedy hearts could no longer stop the corrosion of money, and they even dared to pry open a crack in the iron fence of the Forbidden City.
Under the eastern wall of the Forbidden City, six black shadows crossed the frozen river like lightning, and when they crouched under the wall and learned a few pigeon calls, two long ropes hung down from above.
Six people climbed up to the top of the city with their hands and feet, and each one was as agile as an ape. The eight soldiers standing guard on the city wall stared nervously into the distance, for fear that the officers patrolling the city would appear at this juncture.
"Damn, the eight of us are doing a business, and one person can't miss three thousand taels of silver, so hurry up and give ......the money."
"Fuck, I can still trick you, this is a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, it should be regarded as a deposit, after we get out of the city safely, someone will naturally send the rest of the money to your house......"
"Damn, what if you change your hexagram? What if you don't admit it when you turn around?" The Eight Banners athlete guarding the city opened his eyes angrily, holding a steel knife as if he was going to turn his face in the next second.
"Tut-tut...... What does that mean? I want to take the full amount now? There is no such rule on the road...... There is a kind of you cut me, the head is here, you cut a knife to try? If you dare to cut, Lao Tzu will dare to shout......"
The soldiers defending the city trembled angrily, "Okay, good, you are a bachelor, I will bet on this, you go down to the city, and there is the East Sansho ...... opposite."
The six masked men in black quickly disappeared under the city walls, quickly approaching the east Sanshori, and it was already half past one in the morning.
In the evening, an unknown little eunuch sent a terrible message, his little grandson has fallen into the hands of thieves, and if he wants to live, he will cooperate honestly, someone will come to take an eight-treasure purple gold ingot tonight, and what he wants is the most precious imitation Ming process.
This kind of purple gold ingot process is too complicated, the Ming Dynasty imperial formula is cumbersome just like the alchemy of Taishang Laojun, must all the Taoist temples on Wudang Mountain select 108 kinds of precious herbs, gather the aura of heaven and earth, plus Taoist secret methods to concoct it. This secret medicine has a miraculous effect on children's convulsions, and can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and the most exaggerated rumors are said to be able to cure even the poison of arsenic.
Of course, Imperial Physician Wang did not agree with this rumor, but there is no doubt about the preciousness of this secret purple gold ingot, Kang Yongqian III had been ordered to concoct it, but because the failure rate was too high, only 36 pieces have been preserved in the imperial pharmacy so far, and the imperial court has not opened the furnace since the Daoguang period.
Whether it is the life of his grandson or the palace secret medicine is important, there is no need to worry about this question at all, the only trouble is what kind of excuse the imperial doctor should think of to escape the capital later.
Just when he was sitting by the window drinking strong tea and staying up all night, a few figures swished up on the roof of the East Third Institute, and the toes of the tapples were lightly rubbed, and a few raccoon cat-like flexible voices and shadows jumped into the small courtyard, and the short knife gently pried open the window lattice.
"Imperial Doctor Wang, have you thought about it?" said the man coldly.
"Yes...... Yes, I thought about it, I just ask you gentlemen not to leave me alone afterwards, and protect our family from the capital. ”
"Don't worry, Jiangnan and Liangguang can pick whatever you want, it's really not okay to send you to Ryukyu Naha, the world is so big, you rely on this medical skill, everywhere you go, you will know how lucky you are this time...... Take us to find medicine..."
With a mole, it will be easy to do, the little eunuch who guards the imperial pharmacy can't imagine that the imperial physician has betrayed, and he goes to the imperial pharmacy to flattering the lantern, but only ten minutes before and after, the hidden eight treasures of the purple gold ingot fell into the hands of the imperial physician.
The six men in black took the secret medicine and stuffed it to Imperial Doctor Wang with a silver ticket of 1,000 taels of silver, "Remember, you will be old in seven days, I believe you have a way to pretend to be sick, and we will contact you when the time comes." With that, he turned his head and disappeared into the darkness.
Doctor Wang sat on the chair like dead ashes, I really don't know how he survived this night, but he knew that this group of people in order to steal medicine, they were able to burn Prince Gong's mansion and lure out the most mysterious guards in the Forbidden City.
The entire Manchu ruling center still didn't know that their imperial pharmacy had been stolen, and they couldn't imagine that the enemy would make such a move with great fanfare, just for a small Eight Treasure Purple Gold Ingot .
The ice surface of Houhai has now become a martial arts arena for the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the sound of swords and swords is mixed with the sound of hidden weapons breaking through the sky and the sound of musket salvos. These so-called Heavenly Army simply ignored the rules of the rivers and lakes, and shot guns, sprinkled poison, and threw lime powder in waves.
The old ancestor of the Forbidden City saw the death and injury of the disciples and grandchildren, and the anger in his heart rushed to the heavenly spirit cover, and he roared and scolded angrily, but the form is stronger than the person, when a loud noise suddenly came from the Gongwang Mansion, these bandits who dragged them said coldly.
"The old ancestor still has the heart to entangle with us? Go and see if your master is dead, I don't believe that two hundred catties of gunpowder can't kill him......"
Saving the prince and chasing the bandits, this is a difficult choice, no matter how high the ancestor's martial arts are, he is just a royal minion, now at this time he can only choose to save the prince, in the night wind, he can only watch the bandits flee in all directions.
The Taiping army that attacked Prince Gong's mansion has now retreated, and a rockery in the garden has been blown to pieces, and it seems that the amount of 200 catties of gunpowder is still accurate, and a rockery that is so large is now in ruins.
Prince Gong stood at the door of the study, looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, trembling with anger, "Great rebellion, it's just a great rebellion, write a letter to the same knowledge of Zeng Guofan, how did he suppress the bandits? How did he escape from so many remnants of the heavenly kingdom, sue him, I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of a ......"
The old ancestor walked in front of the prince and bowed to salute, Yi grabbed his sleeve and nervously pointed to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom battle flag on the wall, and said tremblingly, "Look at it, you look at what the city of Beijing has become, I will enter the palace to ask the queen mother, the power in your hands is too little, you have to recruit troops and buy horses, it doesn't matter if I die, you have to protect the emperor..."
The old ancestor's face was purple, he didn't dare to say anything, turned his head and retreated to the Forbidden City, and before the sky was bright, the old ancestor came to the door of a very ordinary small bungalow, and opened the lock on the door with his own hands.
"Misty Imp... Come out, your period of confinement is over, and from today onwards you will be directly under my command, take out your ninja family's espionage mastery, and serve the royal family well......"
The old ancestor looked at the little imp with a pale face, and his thoughts thought of his apprentice Sun Sanhu, this vicious woman actually killed her apprentice, and there were words in her mouth to say not to raise waste. Sure enough, she was a savage in a small country in Xiabang, and she had no humanity at all, and in the end, the ancestor subdued her with his own hands and locked her up in the eunuch's room.
But today, this woman had to let go, and now although she has a group of masters under her command, she is not good at spying on intelligence, if this Japanese female ninja can work hard, the royal intelligence ability must be increased by at least thirty percent.
The little ghost squinted at the palace walls, feeling the pressure brought by the power of the Central Plains Dynasty, and experiencing the majesty that she had never touched, she finally understood that even if Japan was the Tokugawa shogunate, it was still like an ant in front of the mainland civilization.
"Call me Sister Wu, isn't this the name you gave me personally?From today on, I am Sister Wu, the little ghost of Wu Yin is dead, as long as you give me enough power, I will repay you enough loyalty..."
The sky gradually brightened, and the entire Sijiu City was already in a sensation, and the news of the assassination of Prince Layue Gong in the cold winter flew all over the capital like wings, and quickly spread to all parts of the empire.
The streets were filled with the sound of galloping horses, and the officials of Shuntianfu went out en masse, and a large group of people were caught in the south, south, and north, and west, and God knows where they all came from. However, Dongjiaomin Lane is where the foreign people live, and the Qing government did not dare to harass it in the end.
"Eight Treasures Purple Gold Ingot... God, I'm relieved to have this, I'm 100% sure that the poison of the dragon master will be resolved, so please ......
