Chapter 16: The Dragon Enters the Sea (3)
When they learned of the change, the other guards and eunuchs who hurried over saw that the emperor had fainted and could not be controlled, and the auxiliary ministers gave another order, so they had to take orders one after another.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
……
Later, the guards and eunuchs hurriedly sent orders around.
Although Ao Bai is only the second auxiliary minister, but because of his strength, coupled with the fact that he was born in the Yellow Banner, he can't be too tough, so one person is hard and the other is soft, but Ao Bai has mastered the government.
Later, everyone didn't know what was going on, so they had to go forward to convey the order of Aobai, but Su Hechen knew the inside story!
Seeing that Ao Bai was not dead, but Long Live Lord was in a coma, he only felt that his head was a mess.
How so?
Isn't it already laid out a long time ago......
"Don't go yet!"
Ao Bai's face turned and he scolded sharply.
"Wow!" Su Hechen had no choice but to kneel and salute, get up and leave.
"Xiao Lizi, if you tell the Empress Dowager, you will say that the Lord was killed by gangsters, and the gangsters are suspected of hiding in the palace, so I want her to pay attention to safety."
Ao Bai commanded the eunuch on the side, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, obviously in a good mood.
Whatever you say to be careful with Xiaozhuang, it's just a scene.
Ao Bai is just finding a reasonable excuse to send troops to take charge of the entire palace.
"Don't worry, master, the slave and maid will go!" The eunuch Xiao Lizi did not dare to delay, and hurriedly walked away.
……
As the night deepened, Zhu Cijiong took a deep breath and grabbed the iron fence with both hands......
The iron fence, which was corroded by sulfuric acid, was only gently shaken a few times, and then it was completely pulled off.
Zhu Cijiong carefully pressed the iron fence into the dirt, then took off the gloves on his hands, poked his head out and looked around.
At this time, the night was already deep, and the banks of the Jinshui River were ......
The Jinshui River, which drowned many ministers, is an evil legend in a place like the Inner Palace.
In addition to hurrying, how can any palace maid dare to stay by the river!
Besides, thanks to the rules of my Qing Dynasty, even ministers can't light lamps on the banks of the Jinshui River, a little palace maid wants to hang around with a lantern?
Slavery is not dry food!
(Besides, if you don't see it, even if it's a new era, when you open the palace gate every day, you still have to shout three words to say 'I'm coming'...... )
Zhu Cijiong saw that it was pitch black all around, and there was only a little lantern on the city wall a dozen zhang away, illuminating the vast square area.
Zhu Cijiong got out of the drain, he stretched his waist, moved his hands and feet, and dragged the plank out.
Putting on homemade fins and tying the short oars to his hands, Zhu Cijiong turned the plank over and put it in the water.
The glass bottles are fixed to the plank with straps, not afraid of falling into the water, with the buoyancy of the plank, and he only needs to move forward as a thrust.
Zhu Cijiong put the bamboo tube in his mouth, slept on the wooden plank, half-submerged in the water on his back, and then followed the river and headed north.
Because the whole person is in the potential river, but there is no sound at all.
At this time, he is like a mermaid, moving forward extremely fast in the water.
Zhu Cijiong wants to go north, only by going there can he really leave the palace, and even, leave Beijing City!
All the layouts in front of him, are for this moment!
Sulfuric acid is a sharp weapon to melt down the iron fence of the sluice, and the rivers everywhere are the only way for him to escape!
The Jinshui River in the Forbidden City, connected by a moat at both ends, is about two kilometers long.
In the moat to the east of the northwest corner tower of the Forbidden City, on the Nanhe Gang, there is a stone coupon hole, which is the inlet of the moat (that is, the tube river).
There is also a coupon hole on the opposite side of the Beihe Gang, which is the inlet of the Jinshui River to introduce the water of the Guanzi River.
Half an hour later, Zhu Cijiong arrived at the northwest corner of the palace wall, and he found the water inlet at a glance......
As long as he destroys the iron fence here, he can directly enter the moat of the palace, the Barrel River!
Then continue through the water inlet and you will reach the North Sea!
And Yang Qilong...... They would set fire to the drum tower near Shichahai in the north of the North Sea to attract Zhu Cijiong.
When the time comes, Zhu Cijiong and the others only need to continue to trace the river, and then go to the pond and go out of the city from the canal next to Desheng Gate!
As for the empty bamboo tube for diving, it is not a difficult task!
And the most important point is that this line is the most prosperous place for trade in Beijing, and people are constantly coming and going day and night.
The lights on the shore can give them direction.
……
An hour later, Zhu Cijiong had broken two iron fences one after another, but the soldiers on the city wall knew nothing.
"Forbidden City, I'll be back!"
Zhu Cijiong poked his head out of the water, looked at the towering city wall full of torches behind him, and set a goal for himself!
But he didn't know that it was precisely because of his hands and feet in the palace that Beijing was now in chaos.
……
The Qing Dynasty's military strength was divided into two parts - the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion.
Among them, the eight banners are divided into four parts, namely Manchurian, Mongolian, Han and Chahar Eight Banners.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Four Divisions were about 200,000 soldiers, most of whom were stationed around Gyeonggi.
Kangxi was in a coma, and Ao worshipped this powerful figure in the four auxiliaries, and immediately mobilized the entire Eight Banners of Beijing, making the surrounding counties of Gyeonggi a mess.
Yang Qilong took Zhu Shangxian, Zhang Da, Chen Yi, Jiao San and others, gathered more than 30 people, and took advantage of the turmoil, but set fire to the generation on Gulou West Street.
Although it had only rained a few days ago, everyone had the intention to set the fire and the preparations were complete, and the mobilization of the Gyeonggi Eight Banners made it difficult to extinguish the fire.
What's more, Kangxi's sudden coma caused a number of nobles and ministers in the capital to go to the Forbidden City one after another, but the people in the government who could manage things could not pass through the outposts of the surrounding army.
And it is also very difficult for the army to mobilize defense, and it is very difficult to find people from the government to organize people to extinguish the fire.
Under all kinds of coincidences, in the original history, the "Yang Qilong Rebellion" incident, which only burned the Zhenghuang Banner Zhou Gongzhi's family, was much bigger in this time and space than in history!
Not only was the West Gulou Street side lit by the fire, but even the Gulou East Street side of the fire began to spread......
Around the drum tower, there are flames everywhere, and even, the fire that reaches the sky, dozens of miles away, can be seen clearly......
"Brother Yang, withdraw quickly, if you don't leave, I'm afraid that the imperial court will mobilize the surrounding soldiers and block us here!"
Zhang Da saw that Yang Qilong was shouting to put out the fire, but at the same time, he threw the fire fold towards the firewood room of the old man's house, so he hurriedly pulled Yang Qilong.
