210 Besieged Prince Gong's Mansion
In the city of Beijing at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the main heating in winter was coal, and the rich people burned good charcoal, and ordinary people could buy some broken coal to survive the winter. Because of this, the air quality in the capital at the end of the Qing Dynasty is really not very good, and every morning when you look carefully at the dawn of the capital, it is all gray.
The weather is cold and the air quality is not good, so those who have some conditions are willing to stay in the hot bed for a while. The streets are full of people who have to get out of bed to make a living, and idlers who have developed the habit of walking early.
The gentlemen of the Eight Banners walked on the street early, some carried bird cages and some played with winter crickets. Regardless of whether it is hypocritical or sincere, no matter how you have to hold up a few tables of wine and food to go out, whether you cash it out or not, anyway, this politeness is absolutely indispensable.
But today, when a few idle Eight Banners took to the streets, they found that there was suddenly a group of different people on the long street, and they were all dressed up for the exam.
"Oh, Master Huang, haven't I heard of any tavern opening at this point, this group of people who read books don't sleep and go to the hot quilt, don't study, and drink the northwest wind on the street?"
"What Liu Ye said is yes, the exam will start in more than half a month, and I don't want to go to the streets every day, and I have recently added a problem of fighting, and we have never seen a reader so violent?"
"Oops... Oh no, what direction are these scattered scholars going? Houhai, they all went to the shore of Houhai......
"Grandma, isn't that Prince Gong's Mansion over there?"
That's right, in the surprised eyes of this group of Eight Banner idlers, countless lifters began to gather in front of King Gong's Mansion, and after the needle was just after eight o'clock, hundreds of lifters had gathered at the gate of the palace.
This is a group of silent but angry people whose feelings have reached the breaking point. During these three or four days, the members of Western Studies in Beijing went around provoking and openly clashing with the scholars on various occasions. From the scolding war to the addition of fists and kicks, from the infighting between literati to the social idlers, etc., it has also been mixed.
Yes, some scholars who don't even have the identity of lifting people, some talents and children are actually bewitched by Western learning, and they dare to stand in front of the master and accuse them of being wrong.
Is it tolerable or unbearable, the old man is about to explode. The resentment in their hearts can't be vented, and there is no point in burning Xiao Letian's house again, and they don't dare to go to the imperial city to force the palace again.
Since last night, these scholars have been secretly linked, they have had enough, and in the face of such blatant provocations, it is not enough to be passively beaten, they must take the initiative to attack.
More and more people gathered, and at this time, the gatekeeper of the palace had already informed the prince of the news, and Yi didn't realize that today's conflict was bound to evolve into the beginning of a great revolution that shook the world, and he still looked at it with the old eyes of the past.
"Let the Shuntian Mansion and the Admiral of the Nine Gates send people to expel them, and then send a message to the old man when he goes back, so that he can disperse these people...... What is it, is it really a noodle for the imperial court? The imperial city forced the palace to tolerate the imperial court once, is this still addictive? Look at me so bullying..."
Prince Gong Yi complained a few words, changed into practice clothes and ran to the back garden to play Manchu wrestling with the guards.
With the order of the prince, the palace guards were not welcome, pushed open the side door and slipped more than 20 strong men with big shoulders and round waists walked out, and lined up in front of the door, "Scattered, scattered, scattered... Aren't you afraid of the king's law... What kind of place is this? This is Prince Gong's Mansion, what are you trying to do when you gather people to block the door?"
The tough attitude of the guards made the lifters in an uproar, and while speaking, a lifter with a southern accent stepped forward and bowed his hand, "Fan Minxing, a lifter in Xiazhejiang, I hope to ask to see the prince, we are not here to make trouble, we just want to ask the prince a few words, and please make it convenient......"
"See the prince? Is the prince what you can see if you want to? Why do you see the prince if you don't hurry up to prepare for the exam? Let's go, the prince doesn't have time to see you......"
"Hehe, I still want to see the prince, damn in the imperial city, you even dare to beat the prince, you dare to be fucking rude, if you don't catch you in the prison, it's a favor, what's the matter......?
The palace guards ate the food rewarded by the prince, so they had to give the master a head, this group of sour literati dared to beat the prince, if it wasn't for the prince's generosity, they would have rushed up to do it.
This group of guards didn't mention the stubble of forcing the palace, and after mentioning the crazy forced palace behavior that day, the frenzy in the hearts of the people present stirred up again.
At this time, another lifter squeezed out of the crowd and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Books on the bus are the duty of scholars, and we have given advice to the imperial court, why did the prince send troops to disperse? I would like to ask the prince today, why did the prime minister's yamen promote this special industrial zone? And Xiao Letian is so rebellious, why didn't the imperial court send troops to exterminate it?"
This little man has a unique Sichuan accent, and his tone of voice is like eating a pound of red pepper, leaving no emotion at all. The first few guards crossed their waists and glared and scolded, "Hey, hey, who didn't tie his belt tightly and leaked you, and he dared to question the prince? There is a kind of ...... to leave a name."
"Sichuan Juzi Luo Tongwen is here, you and I are afraid that you will not succeed...... Fellow students, fellow students, people all over the world, listen, this is about to threaten revenge, not only do you not dare to meet but also want to beat people?
The crowd suddenly exploded, "Since we are here, we are not afraid of retaliation, who does not dare to report a name...... I am Zhili Juzi, I am Anhui Juzi, I am Shaanxi Juzi......" The sound of the registration number in the crowd is endless.
Now there are two hundred people gathered in front of the palace, and there are countless people watching the excitement in the distance, and the black pressure makes dozens of guards feel the pressure.
"Stand back, give me back off, I can't rebel... It's really the king's ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw a broken shoe flying over from the crowd, and it hit the face of the talking guard with a snap.
"We scholars are not easy to bully, let the devil come out and give an explanation to the world's readers......"
"The imperial court must abolish the special zone, we don't want any industry of foreigners in the Qing Dynasty, drive out Western learning and return me to a clean ......."
"Severely punish Xiao Letian's rebellion and send troops to clean up ......"
The slogans in the crowd were loud, and these scholars seemed to have planned it a long time ago, and all the slogans were shouted in order, and the long street was in chaos.
Now the guards were sweating, arm in arm and desperately blocking these moves, and reinforcements continued to pour out of the back gate, and the human wall was long and dense.
"Stand back, stand back, don't squeeze forward...... Oh my feet, who stepped on me...... My braids, why are you pulling my braids?...... Who the fuck threw broken shoes again......"
Once the verbal conflict evolves into physical contact, it will be difficult to control people's feelings, and it is definitely unrealistic to fight back and scold and not return the mouth.
"Ahh My ribs are broken...... I ...... that bastard, kicking me," a guard screamed, and one of the guards took four or five steps back, leaning on the bluestone steps, sweating profusely.
This can annoy the palace guards, at this time, whoever defends will suffer, the dignified prince's mansion let the acid literati bully like this, which makes the guards who were used to being rampant and domineering in the past how can they stand it.
"Hit hit...... Break up this group of bastards, I don't believe it, do the Han people still want to ride on our heads and scatter wild?"
Once the whole martial arts started fighting, the people around the onlookers were in an uproar, "Oh, it's a fight, the palace guards have beaten the scholars, this is a rare millennium of excitement, call people to see the excitement ......"
The Eight Banners who were jumping excitedly were about to call someone, but four or five of them who were knocked out of the way took a few steps back and crashed into him at once, and they were caught off guard and went directly to a big horse.
"Hey, hey, why don't you even watch the excitement... When I am a bully, I am a bully, and I will end up...... "This can be regarded as a complete mess, and the people who are watching the excitement around are also coerced in, and the four or five hundred people on the long street are beaten into a pot of porridge.
On the south side of the chaotic street, on the roof of an ordinary courtyard house, there are several figures secretly lying on their stomachs, and the positions of these people are very clever, and they can observe the chaos on the street, and they can avoid the eyes of the surroundings, which is difficult to be discovered.
And in this house, Chun Shisanniang was staring at a map of the capital in a daze, surrounded by a green forest person disguised as ordinary people from all walks of life, which was the core force of Xiao Letian to stay in the capital.
"Report to the hall master, now that there is a fight on the street, although there are many people, they are not the opponents of the guards, do we need our brothers to take advantage of the chaos to help?"
"Hall Master, the reinforcements of the sons are coming, the Tai students in the capital have been dispatched, and they have also brought a lot of Xiucai and Tongsheng who support Xianxue, there are three hundred ...... in the mighty way."
"Report to your lordship, there are also more than 100 scholars in Nancheng, and they have also rushed over to support...... There are also a lot of rural scholars outside Chongwenmen, and it seems that they are all here to support these protesters......"
Chun Thirteen Niang finally opened her eyes, and she smiled weirdly, "Wonderful, really wonderful...... What is the growth of the gentleman's brain? The temper of these scholars is completely understood by the gentleman...... Since this group of scholars and rotten Confucians are so cooperative, what are we waiting for if we don't do it?"
"Continue to observe, when the number of demonstrators exceeds 1,000, it is the moment for us to act, and everyone will act according to the original plan..."
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves finally sounded on the long street outside the house, and the soldiers sent by the Admiral of the Nine Gates and the Shuntianfu finally arrived.
"Stop it, stop the fuck...... The horse team squeezed in and separated the two groups of people...... What about the shield soldiers, why are you still stupid? Hurry up and give it to me......"
Today's leader is still the unlucky Mu Ge, he now wants to give himself two big mouths, what kind of life is this? All the mess has to wait for me to be on duty, and tomorrow I really have to go to Tantuo Temple to burn incense.
The soldiers and servants, under the leadership of the tall horses, squeezed into the chaotic crowd with their lives, pushing and shoving, beating and scolding for half an hour before they could be considered to separate the crowd.
The palace guards were crowded at the gate, beware of the counterattack of this group of lifters, watching the lively people and the masters of the Eight Banners playing Taiping Boxing being accused of going to the west side of the long street, and the east side was a piece of lifters.
The three groups of people stared at each other with big eyes, and the smell of gunpowder in the air did not decrease, but became stronger and stronger.
