Chapter 568: Yonghui ......
What is the biggest surprise in life as a prince? It's not a lifetime of glory and wealth, it's not that he married a stunning immortal, and it's not that he gave birth to a good son, but he suddenly became the emperor of the empire when he had no hope of inheritance.

Yonghui is one such lucky person. He was also lost in hope early after being passed out early, his identity was destined to be incompatible with the throne, and he himself had already wasted his time. But I never expected that the wind and clouds would change, and the time would come and go, and the throne would fall from the sky suddenly.
There is nothing in this world that makes the son happier than the prince who has no inheritance right and suddenly sits on the throne of the Ninety-Five. Although Daqingguo was in turmoil at that time, Yonghui still had confidence in his heart! Just as Emperor Chongzhen felt that he could revive the Ming Dynasty, Yonghui also felt that he could revive the Qing Dynasty.
But after Lady Luck took a look at Yonghui, she quickly moved her mind and fell in love with someone else. Yonghui had just experienced the greatest joy in his life, and was thrown into the abyss of despair.
As if he had just been surprised, what could be more desperate in the world than to let an emperor watch his dynasty collapse?
One joy and one sorrow, the huge impact can make people crazy. It was also Yonghui who had suffered too much indifference in the past twenty years, and his mind was strong enough to withstand this devastating blow. Otherwise, it is really hard to imagine that the 'Ninety-Five Emperor' sitting on the throne of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still nervous and abnormal.
How can it be like the current Yonghui, after running to the northeast, not only did his fighting spirit not diminish, but he also immediately started to retreat to the bitter cold land further north to prepare for a long battle. And to be honest, Yonghui's 'preparation' was really prescient. Now isn't this Fu Han army about to hit Shengjing?
Although they have not completely taken Jinzhou, the latter is already a cooked duck in the bowl of the Han people.
And once Jinzhou is lost, Shengjing Fengtianfu will no longer be lucky. Yonghui vetoed the proposal of individual ministers to let them lead their troops to stay in Shengjing and defend Shengjing to the death, so as to be Yonghui's decision. While the war in Jinzhou was still going on, an order was given for everyone to retreat north.
The officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners Forbidden Army gathered at the gate of the palace in Shengjing City in a strict formation, and the soldiers were armed with guns and ammunition, and they were waiting there in a straight posture, strictly prohibiting all idle people from approaching. The shiny bayonet and the barrel of the gun with a dark metallic sheen glittered in the sunlight, dazzling the eyes. These soldiers were all selected from the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners New Army who survived on the battlefield, and they were all tall and healthy. The total is only 10,000 people!
Now these forbidden soldiers selected from the best of the Eight Banners New Army, wearing Russian-style Western military uniforms, stand tall and straight, and look ahead without squinting. However, the aura of this well-organized array is not the fearlessness of victory, but the deep sorrow from the bones.
Because each and every one of them knows deep down what day it is.
Two years after the Manchu Qing Dynasty withdrew from Beijing, they were once again leaving their 'capital' and leaving the place where the prospect of Daqingguo entering the customs was fulfilled. This is Shengjing! It is the land of Longxing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
As a soldier, the most elite and best-paid soldier in a country, he abandoned his national capital without a fight......
What could be more shameful than this?
But Yonghui was reluctant to take them to battle. Since withdrawing from the Central Plains and returning to the Northeast, the strength of the Manchu Qing has of course been greatly weakened, but Yonghui and all the Manchu important ministers also regarded the New Army of the Eight Banners as treasures, regarded them as their own Great Wall to rely on, and regarded them as the fundamental force of the small court in the northeast of the Manchu Dynasty.
In the past, these Eight Banner Praetorian Guards were treated well, and now they are so ugly.
He Lin stood tall in front of a column of the Eight Banners Forbidden Army, his face red enough to fry eggs.
As a man who has a national hatred and family feud with Chen Han, He Lin is not afraid of death at all, and now he would rather die in Jinzhou than experience the scene in front of him.
Not only did his brother die at the hands of the Fu Han army, but even his sister-in-law was occupied by Chen Ming, an adulterer. He Lin really hated every Han person to the bone.
But no amount of hatred can be turned into an arrow to pierce the heart of the Han people. Sheng Jing couldn't hear a single gunshot now, because the war here hadn't really started yet, but everyone in the Eight Banners knew that they were bound to lose. When Shanhaiguan was directly crushed by the powerful force of the Fu Han army, the news reached Shengjing, and the last shred of hope of the Eight Banners monarchs and ministers was also shattered.
They all know it. The emperor of the Han people has made up his mind to destroy the Eight Banners! In the sluggish year, the current Fu Han army is even stronger than it was at the beginning. In the face of the incomparably powerful Fu Han army, any frontal resistance was futile. The only feasible thing is to preserve the strength for the future.
Therefore, Yonghui decided to give up the entire Shengjing and the southern part of Jilin, and the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners withdrew to the central and northern parts of Jilin as much as possible. Moreover, General Potemkin of Russia has already sent the will of Her Majesty the Empress of Russia, and Russia has agreed to let the Eight Banners withdraw into the Russian Far East, and they will open the Ural Mountains and all the territories west of the Ural River to provide shelter to the Eight Banners. The entire Manchu court, the army, and the banner people could enter. And they promised to recognize the independence and autonomy of the Eight Banners!
The current Eight Banners are quite familiar with Russia's national strength and status, which is a European power, an absolute military power, with more than 200,000 regular troops armed with guns and no less than 100,000 Cossacks and nomadic cavalry. It is a powerful force in the whole of Europe, and it is the hegemon of the north and east of Europe.
Their land is vast, almost larger than the entire Central Plains. Although a lot of land is a bitter cold and barren land in the eyes of the Eight Banners monarchs, the overall value does not even have to be in a corner of Shengjing, and half of the year is the severe winter weather of ice and snow and strong winds. But as a last resort, they finally have a place to stay.
Yonghui, who was destined to become the last king of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, had not completely lost hope and fighting spirit, and he still hoped that the vast Shengjing and southern Jilin would become an insurmountable obstacle for the Han army, which would drag on for at least another two years.
But at this time, he was about to leave the Shengjing Qing Palace, where he had lived for more than a year.
This Qing imperial palace built during the Nurhachi period is one of the only two remaining palace complexes in China in later generations, and was built during the Huang Taiji period. At the beginning, the area was not as grand as it is now, it was rebuilt and added during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, which formed more than 100 palaces, pavilions, pavilions and other buildings, more than 500 rooms, covering an area of more than 100 acres. Moreover, the buildings here contain a strong Eight Banners style and local characteristics of Northeast China.
The palace is located in the center of Shengjing City, with the Dazheng Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion in the center.
The Great Palace is in the middle, the Ten Kings Pavilion is lined up left and right, such a building layout is very the original Eight Banners Joint Stock Co., Ltd. style, especially the so-called Great Palace, it is an octagonal, in the traditional Chinese royal architecture, this is a complete joke.
Until the death of Huang Taiji and the entry of the Eight Banners, Shengjing was the political, military, economic, and cultural center of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for those twenty years. Therefore, in the political system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the weight of Shengjing was also very heavy. The princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were divided into two groups, one in Beijing and the other in Shengjing. It's very similar to the nobles of the northern and southern capitals of the former Ming Dynasty!
Now Yonghui is standing in front of the octagonal shape of the Great Palace, compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing, this place is really weak, but this moment is not the point at all. Yonghui's face was very ugly, his mouth was tight, his fists were clenched, and the attendants and ministers around him didn't know what their master was thinking. But the latter group of people are also very painful in their hearts, they are the core power of the Eight Banners, and the scene of the second panic escape in front of them makes each of them speechless in pain.
Under the guard of the Eight Banners Janissary Army, who had high hopes from the top to the bottom of the Eight Banners, but did not even have the opportunity to fight the Han army, the power center of the Manchu Qing Dynasty once again embarked on the road of migration.
Under the supervision of the Eight Banners, countless eunuchs and palace maids drove carts and horses full of property, carried large and small sedan chairs, and walked out of the gate of the palace, and then gradually left behind the palace where they had lived for more than a year, and gradually left the entire Shengjing City behind them soon after......
Jinzhou City at this time.
"The city is broken, the city is broken!"
Accompanied by two earth-shattering explosions, a huge shout like a tsunami suddenly sounded on the battlefield of Jinzhou. Whether it was the attacking Fu Han army or the defending Eight Banners, they were all shouting the same thing. The only difference is that the morale of the former is inflated, and the latter is panicked.
"Rush, ......" The charge of the Fu Han army sounded.
"Didi, Di, ......" accompanied by the sound of the Charge Horn. The hustle and bustle is at its extreme.
Yoshida Shoichi held the katana in his hand tightly, he was wearing a cuirass and an iron helmet on his head, but the iron helmet was different from the red tassels of the Fu Han army, and the helmets of the soldiers of the standing team were white. In addition to the katana in his hand, Yoshida Shoichi only had two pull-ring grenades on his chest, no muskets, and no short guns.
Their task in the Fu Han army was hand-to-hand combat, and they didn't need to shoot guns, hand-to-hand combat was the most suitable thing for these samurai to do, and it was also their favorite thing to do.
Wearing steel armor and slashing people with a katana of fine texture, this is the training that Japanese samurai have received since childhood. For Yoshida Shoichi and others who came to the Ryukyus from Japan in only one suit of clothes, and then broke through the mountains and villages in Belitung Island, West Borneo and other places, drove a group of aborigines out of the mountains and dense forests, or stayed in the mountains and forests forever to nourish nature.
Among them, the best performers were transferred to Taiwan for intensive training in March this year, and their status has also changed from security officers to soldiers of the standing team.
The number of the marching teams that entered the Jinzhou battlefield was very small. In the previous battles, there was no part of the team at all, Yoshida Shoichi and they had been on the Jinzhou battlefield for ten days, but they felt that they were more like a rarity, or a sparring partner for assassination training for Chinese soldiers, they were protected.
This made Shoichi Yoshida very distressed. They stood up and everyone longed for war. Because of the war they can have loot, as hand-to-hand combatants they can have half of the proceeds of the booty, they can get higher points, give more money to their families, and let their families live a richer life.
Even Yoshida had a wish that he had never said to anyone, that he wanted to gain permanent residency in China, a society that was more vibrant than Japan's archaic society. In the words of the Instructor, there are more ways for civilians in China to become people of status and status than in Japan.
Yoshida understands the meaning of this sentence very well.
Because China is still at war, as long as it dares to go to war, it can obtain benefits that Japanese civilians cannot imagine.
Although when they became soldiers of the Standing Force, the Chinese army was also very open to explain to all the Japanese the contradictions between China and Japan today. However, only a small number of the civilian samurai who were selected to join the Stand Up Team with Yoshida Shoichi chose to quit, and many more still joined the stand up team to win a better future for their families.
"There's nothing wrong with calling 'God'. Since we have lost the right to rule the country, wouldn't it be nice to completely give up our secular power and become the head of Shinto, and then we can get higher offerings? ”
Yoshida Shoichi didn't have much concept of the emperor in his head, and he was thinking more about how to live in his head. He also respected the emperor, but it was clear that the Tokugawa shogunate had a higher status in his heart, and the emperor was too far away for him. And now, when Yoshida Shoichi discovers that the emperor, who used to be unattainable, has now become an obstacle to his pursuit of a better and more prosperous life, the so-called "respect" is only a matter of time.
'Spiritual power' without a material and power base is not secure.
In the original decision, Yoshida Shoichi chose to trample the 'emperor' under his feet, and the brainwashing of the Han army in the following days was not ineffective at all.
God, the Emperor!
Giving up the worldly power that does not exist in one's hands, letting those greased clowns disappear into this world, and entering the spiritual world by oneself, you can get better and higher offerings, this is the best destination of 'Chrysanthemum Heraldry'.
The geographical name of Kyushu Island is an easier problem to solve in Yoshida's opinion, so it is enough to change the name. Wasn't the previous Kyushu Island also called Purple Tsuki Island? In Yoshida's view, this is more of a translation issue. The word "shu" means a region in Japanese, which is completely different from the meaning of "Kyushu" in Kamigoku. Is there any difference between calling Kyushu Island and Kyukoku Island?
Japan has learned too many things from China, and in the Heian period, Kyoto Castle was completely imitated after the Chang'an Castle of the Tang Dynasty. The core buildings of Pingcheng Jing, the Daji Hall and the Chaotang Courtyard, are located in the Pingcheng Palace, which is to imitate the Taiji Palace, the central building of Chang'an City, and the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace to the west. The first Daigokuden was used for the Emperor's enthronement ceremony and the meeting of foreign envoys, while the second Daigokuden was used to handle daily government affairs. After moving back to Pingcheng in 745 AD, a pavilion was built on the site of the first Daji Hall to imitate the Lin De Hall of Chang'an Daming Palace to hold banquets.
There's so much of this stuff.
Just like North Korea calls its capital Seoul, while China has the Han River, and North Korea also has the Han River; China has Anyang, and North Korea also has Anyang; China has Gangneung and Yangzhou, and North Korea also has Gangneung and Yangzhou......
"Stand up!"
A cry sounded in Yoshida's ears, almost reflexively, and Yoshida dissipated all the distractions in his mind, straightened his back, and straightened up.
"Kill—" Captain Aoki Nakaichi waved his command knife and shouted the order to attack Jinzhou City.
"Onboard ......" (To be continued.) )
