The emperor went to the garden!
For the people of the capital, when they learned the news, they didn't seem to feel anything, after all, the emperor stayed in the garden for half a year, and only a few people knew that the emperor went to the garden, but it was just to cover people's eyes, almost the day Xianfeng arrived at the Old Summer Palace, the will came down - tomorrow in the north hunting rehe!
In fact, it's no wonder that Xianfeng fled so quickly, he had to escape, on the day he entered the Old Summer Palace, there was a twist and turn that the bandits crossed the Lugou Bridge! Although it was said that there were only dozens of bandits, Xianfeng knew that he was leaving, and if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to leave.
The next morning, Xianfeng got up much earlier than usual, perhaps because he had dreamed too much, and he felt dizzy and unable to lift his spirits. How can you be happy? This is to flee to Rehe, but unlike previous years, Rehe Mulan Autumn can see flowers and scenery along the way, and look at it while walking, this time it is different, in order to leave the capital safely, you must run away in the starry night.
Xianfeng had just sat for a while, thinking about his thoughts, when Cui Changli came in and reported:
"Your Majesty, everything is ready, you can leave at any time."
Xianfeng nodded listlessly.
"Your Majesty, if there is any other order, if not, the slave will inform Lord Su to prepare to set off."
At the sound of an order, a large royal evacuation team drove out of the north gate of the Old Summer Palace.
The moment the carriage passed through the north gate of the Old Summer Palace, Xianfeng had an experience that he had never had before, his heart was astringent, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he felt extremely depressed. He gently lifted the curtain on the car, looked back at the beautiful and magnificent royal garden behind him, and the feeling of life and death that emerged when he left the Forbidden City once again appeared in his heart, as if he would never come back, and it seemed that he suddenly had a sense of loss.
The Old Summer Palace became more and more distant and blurred, Xianfeng helplessly put down the curtain in his hand, and two lines of tears quietly fell from the corners of his eyes.
The remnant sun is like blood, and the withered grass is everywhere.
A convoy of desperate refugees drove on the empty field, like a foraging autumn snake on a winding path. Although the convoy was full of beautiful canopies, there was no laughter, no majestic guards, and no pennants waving in the wind. The team is huge, but there is sadness in the hugeness, the carriages and horses are luxurious, but the luxury can't hide the sluggish confidence, which is like a group of defeated soldiers, marching towards the north on this official road.
Suddenly, a wave of jackdaws flew overhead, and the unorderly sound of crows brought an indescribable desolation to the procession, and everyone's face was so heavy that even the horses could not jump, and the old ox slowed down the official road as if it were a broken cart.
"Boom, boom、......"
On the hillside, the shoddy pony's front hooves kicked the ground, and his nose made a stubborn breathing sound, and Sun Liangqi, who was riding on the horse, narrowed his eyes into a thin slit, looking at the large group of people and horses passing down the mountain, his face was sometimes red, sometimes white, and the hand holding the horse's reins was almost bloody, and those eyes were even more on fire!
That fire is desire!
It's also exciting, and of course, nervous!
Hit the big fish!
He never imagined that he would be so lucky to be able to touch such a big fish!
For Sun Liangqi, who defected to the Taiping Army in Taihang Mountain, he said that he knew what kind of role a person like him in the Taiping Army was, not to mention that now he was about to win the world with the Taiping Army, in other words, he defected too late!
If it is a few months in the morning, when the kingdom of heaven rules the world in the future, not to mention being a founding father, he can also get a general or something, but now, unless he can be the first to hit the head of the capital, otherwise he Sun Liangqi will only be the same Sun Liangqi, at most he will be an official. Just like now, he's just a brigade commander! Under Prime Minister Zeng, there were not a hundred brigade commanders like them, but ninety!
But this will, looking at the Qing army brigade at the foot of the mountain, he has been a bandit for many years, and he can see that this is not an ordinary team, and it may not be necessary to sit there with some dignitaries and nobles!
"Brethren!"
Then he turned around and looked around at the more than 400 brothers behind him, they were all riding horses, among these people, his real brothers were only more than 100 people, and the others were more than a dozen or at most 20 small groups of horse bandits in the Taihang Mountain area, and they were all shouted by him to go down the mountain and join the Taiping army.
It was also thanks to them that he could get a brigade commander.
These horse bandits who used to ride on horseback and beg for a living with their heads pinned to their waists wore all kinds of clothes, including horse coats made of black and gray cloth, as well as silk robes, and even weapons, with knives, spears, and even sickles, in short, each with its own tricks, but the only thing they had in common was the red cloth tied on the top of their heads, and they looked at the brigade commander, and no one spoke. Only a few of the more inferior horses neighed impatiently and softly.
"Brothers, when I told everyone to go down the mountain together, my grandson patted his chest and said a word to the big guy."
Sun Liangqi's swarthy face showed a bit of seriousness.
"Let's go down the mountain, is to seize the opportunity to change the dynasty, to give the big guy a background, as long as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom takes over the world, when the time comes, we will be the founding heroes, just the no longer have to be a man with his tail between his legs, and then the brothers will no longer have to live with their heads in their hands......"
When bandits are not easy, not to mention robbing people, those people will have a dart master to protect each other, that is, to grab, in case when they go home or enter the city, they are caught by the government, no need to ask if it must be the head of the family, the head hangs directly on the city wall, and the person who is dying cannot fall into a whole corpse, and because of this, Sun Liangqi is just a shout, listening to the military might of the Taiping army, the big guys will join together to serve Sun Liangqi as the leader to defect to the Taiping army.
"But this background is difficult to find, you see, this Taiping army has now hit the capital, I estimate that in less than ten days, this world should be the Taiping army, what can we brothers get at that time? It's time to break through the sky, and then it's time to have enough food and clothing, but are the brothers willing? ……”
Under Sun Liangqi's instigation, the more than 400 people were all unwilling.
"Unwilling!"
After sighing, he felt that the jujube red horse under his crotch seemed to be a little impatient, and Sun Liangqi took off the reins.
"This king and general Xiangning have a kind of care, but who let us join the army too late......"
Looking around at the brothers behind him, Sun Liangqi let go of the reins of the horse, clasped his hands into fists and saluted.
"But Lao Tzu is unwilling! is unwilling, why in the future other people's babies are born with a golden spoon, the family has a hundred acres of fertile land, our baby is born to eat bran and drink thin, is the so-called wealth and danger of seeking, if that brother is willing to seek this wealth with my surname Sun, seek this origin, follow Lao Tzu! If you don't want to, my grandson doesn't blame him, you see......"
He pointed the whip in his hand down the mountain,
"Look at that car, this is a big fat sheep, our brothers rushed up, maybe they will make a miraculous feat, and when the time comes, they will be promoted and make a fortune, and they will be able to get less of our grandfathers? What do you think of the big guy......"
"Sun is in charge...... Lord Brigade Marshal, and say a fart, **** brewed ......"
"That's it, **** brewed ......"
In the shouting of everyone, Sun Liangqi smiled.
"Dry, naturally, I want to do it, but not now! Today, we are going back to our old ways! ”
The wheels are slow, and the cold wind is fierce. In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and within a few hours of noon, the sky gradually darkens. A cold autumn wind blew, lifting the curtains, bringing a chill to the car. Only let the Lan Guiren, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but wrap his tweed cloak, and at this moment, there were several wolf howls on the mountainside in the distance, which were piercing and sharp. It made her heart tighten, and she couldn't help but worry, but thinking that there were more than 2,000 imperial guards outside the car, her heart was finally a little more relaxed.
When the foreign pocket watch pointed to 10 o'clock, I finally found a small village in front of me, saying that it was a village, but in fact it was only a dozen families, and it was good to be able to find such a place to stay in this barren mountain.
After the Red Banner Protector asked the emperor for advice, everyone got out of the car, which drove the people who traveled for a day and a night, all of them were sleepy and tired, and no one wanted to stand up while sitting on the ground. However, no one can be idle, there are many people and few places, most of the people can only rest outside, those guards have to set up tents, as for the accompanying eunuchs, they have to clean up the house, for the emperor and the queen to live, and also to take the blood of the deer, the emperor is still waiting to drink.
When everyone was busy, Lan Guiren's phoenix eyes spewed fire-there was no house for her! It's no wonder that she is just a nobleman, if it weren't for the emperor nodding and the concubines all following, maybe she wouldn't even have a share in the car, and at this time she would arrange the house, naturally she wouldn't have her share.
"Sooner or later, one day will ......"
Just when she looked at the tent that was blown by the cold wind and swayed, and secretly swore in her heart that sooner or later one day she would not avenge today's revenge, the knife-like mountain wind swept the snowflakes and made a strange sound, and the wind whistle was mixed with a slightly dull sound, that is......
"Anti-thief! The thief is coming......"
Suddenly, I don't know who shouted, the guards and guards who were busy camping up were in a mess, they didn't expect that they would encounter a thief here, let alone that they would be attacked, in fact, for these guards and guards who are used to living a peaceful life, they never felt that someone dared to attack the holy car, but now this thief has indeed killed him...... (To be continued.) )
