Chapter 512: Discord
On the occasion of the New Year, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when other places are bursting with firecrackers to welcome the New Year, the Beijing Division does not have a little New Year's atmosphere, not even the couplets are pasted, and it is deserted everywhere.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to customs, in addition to going to the godfather and godmother to walk around to pay New Year's greetings, this day is a family staying at home, never going to relatives, but you can go to the neighborhood to visit the door, eat melon seeds, eat peanuts, talk homely, not only that, but this day can not be cleaned, brush pots and wash dishes, everything has to wait until the next day.
The sun is shining brightly, the sun is warm, however, the streets and alleys in the capital are still deserted, and there is not a single ordinary person in sight, not even the sound of children playing and noisy.
At this moment, along the northwest wind direction, a Kong Ming lantern floated in, and a package was hanging below, which was similar to the day when Tianjin City was lost, all of them came quietly!
Whoosh!
For a time, the arrows were like rain, dense as locusts, and before the Kong Ming lantern reached the sky above the Beijing Division, the archers of the Qing army had already acted, bending their bows and shooting arrows, pointing directly at the Kong Ming lantern in the sky.
Puff~Puff~
One by one, the Kong Ming lanterns were shot through, swaying and falling down the wind, and some turned into a flame and burned in the air.
The archers are still moving, bending their bows and shooting arrows, however, the Kong Ming lantern is like a torrent, endlessly, the front is shot down, the rear is filled, and continues to fly to the sky above the Jingshi, stretching endlessly, densely packed.
At this moment, the Kong Ming lantern in the sky is like an enlarged dandelion seed, passing away with the wind, sometimes slow and sometimes urgent, drifting with the waves, high or low, ups and downs.
Whoosh!
The archer was still releasing the arrows, and he didn't slack off for a moment, and he didn't feel anything at the beginning, but as time went by, seeing the endless Kong Ming lanterns still floating, the archers only felt that their scalps were numb, their arms were sore, and the powerlessness in their hearts became stronger and stronger, and the speed of archery couldn't help but slow down.
"Generally, this can't be done, even if the small ones are infinitely powerful and can't finish it, but there are not many arrows left, you see, Kong Ming Lantern is still floating towards this side, there is no sign of reduction, if it goes on like this, it's not a thing, the small ones can't hold it anymore, and their arms are about to cramp." An archer said to the general next to him, his head was full of sweat, and his arms trembled slightly after shooting an arrow, which was a sign of overuse, some exhaustion and soreness
Obviously, the head of this team of archers has been here from beginning to end, and all the performances of the cadres are in his eyes, his brows are slightly frowned, and he gradually deepens, and he has no idea for a while.
The general also has his difficulties, but the death order issued by the above is that the Kong Ming lantern must be shot outside the city, and must not enter the city, otherwise, it will be done by military law, and it will be severely punished!
However, all this that happened in front of me, I deeply knew that what my subordinates said was the truth, even the soldiers under him were all beaten with iron and had endless strength, but there were not many arrows, not to mention, the archers under his command were already like this, they were powerless, and they couldn't lift their bows and arrows.
Although he was in trouble, he also knew that things could not be delayed any longer, and his subordinates were about to be unable to hold on, and they might be paralyzed and their arms would be wasted at any time.
In the end, it seemed that some kind of decision had been made, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "From now on, you will be divided into two teams, one for the other to rest, take turns to shoot arrows, and shoot down Kong Ming lanterns as much as possible." ā
"Yes, the total lord~" When he responded, the general manager left without looking back and walked towards the city.
People say that it is easy to destroy and difficult to build, however, at this moment, the Beijing division is diametrically opposed, Yang Lin's troops keep lighting Kong Ming lanterns and flying in the air, which is much easier than those archers in the Qing court.
Gradually, the Qing court's air defense force in Beijing became weaker and weaker, and more and more Kong Ming lanterns floated to the sky above Beijing, as expected, the candles burned the strings, the hanging packages were opened instantly, and the propaganda leaflets inside were scattered everywhere.
A "heavy snowfall" that has not cooled down is falling, like goose feather heavy snow, even if the Qing army in the whole city is moving, but it is too busy to stop this momentum, and the paper with dense words appears in the streets and alleys, all corners, and the people's yards are everywhere.
The content on the paper is spreading rapidly and unstoppable, with soldiers watching, generals watching, and even kings and grandsons, wealthy businessmen and tycoons, and there are many high-ranking officials.
"Brothers, sisters, uncles, uncles and uncles, our army is a righteous army, and will never do anything to disturb the people, in the next few days, our army will attack the Beijing division, I hope you can stay at home, so as not to hurt you, please rest assured, I, Yang Lin, am just to overthrow the Qing court and eliminate the injustice of the Manchus and Han people."
"Also, soldiers, as Han Chinese, although they are troops of the Qing court, have you really been taken seriously? Is it really about rewarding meritorious deeds? Even though they fought bloody battles to defend the territory of the Qing court, however, did the Qing court give anything? ā
"After the war, if you win the battle, the credit will belong to the children of the Eight Banners, has it been shared with you? If you lose the battle, you will put all the responsibility on you, why should you work for such a court? ā
"When you defend your territory, when you fight bloodily, you may be shrouded in horse leather at any time, but, brothers, you may recall that once upon a time, when a soldier of the same Han died as a soldier, did his pension and salary reach his family? As a family member of a soldier, when you are defending your family and country, are your relatives taken care of by the imperial court? ā
"You are also soldiers and soldiers of the imperial court, do you have the same treatment as the children of the Eight Banners? When you win, are you under the glory? After the war, your body is crippled, did the Qing court give you arrangements? ā
......
The content of the leaflet is simple and clear, all in the vernacular, as long as anyone who is literate, can understand it, and it immediately resonates with people.
The leaflet was recited and circulated among the people, and although the content on it was a series of questions, it was extremely shocking and thought-provoking, and the common people were okay and calm, but the green camp composed of those Han people reacted strongly, albeit in private.
The words on the leaflet not only evoked their sad memories, but also made these see hope, there was a kind of hope, the mood that was originally like a pool of stagnant water has made waves, and it is no longer like living a chaotic life and messing around, just because there is a promise from Yang Lin on it.
"Brothers, I, Yang Lin, swear with my life here, I do not ask you to surrender immediately and submit to our army, I only ask you not to resist too much when our army attacks the Beijing Division, and after the fact, you can not only join our army and enjoy the same treatment, but also unload your armor and return to your hometown, as long as it is the occupied area of our army, all the people are cultivators and have their own land, self-sufficient, and there is no problem."
Suddenly, the Jingshi was no longer a deathly silence, and an undercurrent surged in, and this leaflet caused great repercussions, especially among the Qing army, gradually tearing apart the relationship between the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, which had a divisive effect.
Although the faces of those soldiers or generals remained the same as usual, and there was no change, some people's minds began to liven up, and they had secretly been planning and calculating for a long time.
