Chapter 014: Entering the Palace
āā¦ā¦ It's a pity that Brother Hong's country is gone, otherwise even if I swim with a log, I have to swim over to meet these great sages! It is okay to die at night, even if it is not what Brother Hong said, if you can have this kind of heart, it is enough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" The effect is good, Wen Nan began to pull his beard again, judging from the trembling degree of his fingers, his heart was very excited, it seems that this sentence hit his cool point. The literati is this virtue, as long as they enter a certain state, he will approve of you.
"Lao Wen, I'm afraid you won't be able to change your thinking pattern in this life. In fact, if you pat your chest and think about it carefully, in the years that you and I have known each other, have I done anything worse than this sentence? If I don't say anything, I won't get everyone's approval, and I just said such a, you see you are excited. If I say it again, do you have to kneel on the ground and kowtow to call the teacher again? Is it more important than doing? Do you know why the Great Song Dynasty is becoming more and more mediocre? It's because the people in the court are just like you, thinking about how to play tricks all day long, and they don't want to do serious things at all. If you don't do something, you will never be wrong, and the more you do, the more you will be wrong. If you still think like this, then the two of us simply don't bother to change the Great Song Dynasty, after changing it for a long time, it's not the same as the original virtue, just a layer of skin, the bones are the same! ā
Hong Tao was not infected by Wen Nan's emotions, as a person who respected technology, Hong Tao was very disgusted by those exciting slogans. It's okay to put these words on a person's coffin after the fact, but it's too one-sided and unfair to judge a person based on them alone. What do others feel Hong Tao doesn't intend to ignore, since it is up to him to decide now, then this kind of atmosphere cannot exist, even if it is Wen Nan.
āā¦ā¦ I found that Brother Hong, the older you get, the bigger your temper becomes, no matter what you say about me, I still think this sentence is very reasonable. Now can we not argue about this for a while, are we just waiting here, don't you need to command your army? Wen Nan is worthy of being a cultural person, much more cultured than Hong Tao, cleverly changing the topic away, and not arguing with Hong Tao.
"There's nothing more to command, this set of things was tried out again and again by me and Swan, and then the Marines practiced it over and over again for months, and they knew better than me what to do. If I really rely on me to command on the spot, I am afraid that this battle will be fought until noon. Listen, the gunfire is getting farther and farther west, and I reckon the battle inside the palace is nearing its end. Don't worry, wait, now that muskets have become popular, no matter how powerful people are, they can't carry a small bullet. You and I are both pillars of the country, and we can't risk ourselves, this is responsible for the country and the nation, hehehe...... "Wen Nan didn't say that it was okay, but Hong Tao simply sat on the city wall. It was safe to see from below, and the sight of the walls was occupied by the Marines.
From the moment his feet touched the Lin'an pier, the 1,000-strong marines were divided into four parts. The first detachment of 300 people is the main force of the assault on the tide gate, their main task is to break through the outer city, clean up the threat on the north side of the imperial city, part of the people quickly occupy the court room, arrest the Great Song officials in the court room, escort all the officials into the palace, and use the palace wall to defend the north side of the imperial city. The other part of the people blew open the North Palace Gate and entered the Phoenix Mountain on the west side of the palace as fast as possible, cutting off the road to the West Lake from here.
The second detachment of 200 people went straight to the East Water Gate; The third detachment of 200 people, the target is Jiahuimen. These two teams are the main force to break through the imperial city, all the way from the east and all the way from the south, after entering the palace, eliminate all those who dare to resist, and the main task is to capture the royal family. This task is very difficult, Hong Tao gave them unlimited privileges, except for the emperor himself who had to live, as long as the other people were in the way, they could be killed directly without asking for instructions.
The fourth detachment belongs to the support detachment, and after the three assault detachments in front break through the city wall and attack the imperial city, the supporting detachment will occupy the outer city and the main passage near the imperial palace, and use mortars to suppress all enemy firepower to prevent the Great Song army and people in the city from approaching the imperial city. In addition, thirty people will serve as Hong Tao's personal guards, following Hong Tao to protect the future emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Hong Tao was also more conscious, and he had been shrinking on the city wall and waiting for the final result, so as not to add trouble to the soldiers of the guards.
So far, the progress of each detachment has been very smooth, so smooth that Hong Tao is a little surprised. The defense of the capital and the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty was still in the stage of the city walls and gates, and whether it was the defenders of the outer city or the imperial forest army in the inner city, there was nothing they could do in the face of the marines who opened the way with shotguns and grenades. In addition, the incident happened suddenly, and even decent resistance could not be organized, so many Great Song soldiers were directly blocked in the barracks, a few grenades were thrown in, and then shotguns were sprayed into the room from the door window, and there were basically no living people.
Don't look at what Hong Tao and Wen Nan said very well, pointing to the heavens and the earth and promising that they would never kill innocents indiscriminately, but the order he gave to the marines was that there was unlimited right to open fire, and anyone who would threaten the actions of the marines, regardless of men, women, old and young, the marines could shoot them directly. Moreover, Hong Tao also gave his own advice to the marines who participated in this raid, that is, it is better to kill by mistake than to be careless, the target of the raid is the Great Song officials in the court room and the emperor in the palace, and it doesn't matter if the others are or not.
"Whoosh...... Syllable! Sou...... Syllable! Sou...... Syllable! "The first rays of dawn had just appeared in the eastern sky, and three huge fireworks rose in the imperial city, which exploded into three clouds of white mist in midair, and the debris of the paper fluttered in the wind.
"Well, about half an hour, not too fast and not too slow. Let's go, let's go meet the officials and ministers, remember, we are conquerors, don't make trouble for yourself because of the problem of face. Hong Tao picked up the binoculars and looked at the signal flag on the battleship, determined the approximate time, then stood up, patted his buttocks, and followed the guards to walk under the city wall.
The Great Song people really love to watch the lively, this habit is in the bones, even if there are still a few corpses of the Great Song soldiers lying on the royal road leading to the palace, and the blood is flowing all over the ground, not far away there are still many Lin'an people who get up early or are awakened, pointing at the marines who are hiding behind the temporary bunker with guns on the royal road. They probably didn't know that their emperor and officials had become prisoners, and there was no precedent in history, and even the most imaginative could not have imagined such a scene in the palace.
"This is the Hening Gate, which is usually the north gate of the palace. There is also a Li main gate in the south, outside the door is a large square, if there is a grand ceremony in the imperial court, it will open the main gate to enter, and it is usually closed. The gate we passed by just now is called Donghua Gate, if you are lucky enough to participate in the palace test, you will enter the palace through this gate, and the official family will call Xuan Ma to enter from this door. The gate that you blew open is the North Palace Gate, and it is the place where the palace servants enter and leave the palace. Since the palace was occupied, and the marines also controlled the area around the palace, Hong Tao simply took a step along the north side of the palace for half a circle, took the north of the palace, and swaggered into the Great Song Palace from the Hening Gate. Wen Nan followed him as a tour guide, and every time he passed by a place, he would tell him what it was and what it was called.
The palace of Lin'an is different from the palaces of previous dynasties because it was built according to the mountain, and it was a palace in those years. It is not a rectangle due north and south, the central axis of the entire palace area is slightly deviated to the northwest, but the palace wall on the north side is due east and west. Therefore, after entering from the Hening Gate, there will be a small bend in the central imperial road.
"How come there is a garden as soon as you enter the door? According to the Zhou system, shouldn't it be the front hall and the back harem? What surprised Hong Tao even more was that when he entered the Hening Gate, there was a small lake not far in front of him, surrounded by buildings and pavilions, like ancient gardens, more like the Beihai.
"We're at the North Gate...... In front is Xiaoxi Lake, on the left hand side is the election hall of filial piety, Emperor Xuanzong was here to review the folds, and the important ministers to discuss important matters in the court, after the shortage, on the court in front of the hall to play football. But it's not the kind of football you made, a good kick, and in your hands, it becomes a game of fighting for your life, vulgar ears! Wen Nan pointed to the Hening Gate behind him, and then pointed to the sun, signaling Hong Tao to pay attention to the direction.
"You don't understand, it's called exercising, defending yourself; Build muscles and prevent beatings. I replaced the war with a competition, and then made it quiet, wouldn't it make people soft. It's a good deal, we came in through the back door of the palace! Usually the minister has to go through the back door when he goes to court? Aren't you afraid of the mess in the palace? Let Wen Nan remind him like this, Hong Tao reacted, yes, according to the direction, the place where he came in should indeed be the back garden. The Great Song Dynasty was a freak in Chinese history, and its palace was so weird. The ministers walked from the royal back garden, and the concubines in the deep palace will definitely have a bit of a spiritual collision with the ministers, I have to admire, the heart of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is really wide!
"In the past, the court had to go through the main gate of Li, but later the official family was sympathetic to the courtiers and did not want them to detour half of the city, so they changed to enter through the north gate. Besides, the harem is on both sides, how can it be related to the filthy palace. Anyway, you are also a royalty, don't be so vulgar. Wen Nan wondered, if he can tell the life and death of the country, how can he avoid it because of misfortune and fortune, and the person who can make the Jinhe Empire system, why is his character like this?
"Well, I'm a bit vulgar, so I've married three or four wives. Your official family is not bad, he has a courtyard of women by himself. I knew that this was elegant, and I should have got a few more women to raise it, how about you say that I accepted all the concubines here? "If you want to be vulgar, simply be vulgar to the end, otherwise you won't be scolded in vain. (To be continued.) )
