Chapter 546: Old Man, our Great Qing Kingdom is indeed gone......
In 1795, at the evening of July 15, the 60th year of Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty military aircraft foreman He Shen was ordered by the last monarch of the Qing Dynasty Qianlong, with the jade seal of the Qing Dynasty "Chengtian Ordered to Treasure of the Great Qing Dynasty" to lead a group of Manchu nobles and princes to leave Yanjing City, go to the Liang family army camp, and express to Liang Pengfei the willingness of the Qing court to surrender unconditionally. 【Reading.com】
On the fifteenth day of July, Qianlong hanged himself in the Taimiao, and was prevented by the eunuchs of his subordinates, and carried back to the Forbidden City to recuperate in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart. In the Forbidden City, there was already a gloomy cloud...... In the early morning of July 16, just after the hour of the hour, the banner people in the inner city of Yanjing City and the Han people in the outer city had just fallen asleep in panic, and the Liang Jiajun began to take over the guards of the gate of Yanjing City from the hands of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Forbidden Brigade.
From the early morning of 16 July to midnight, the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade disarmed, began to withdraw from Yanjing City in an orderly manner, and entered a prisoner of war camp temporarily set up next to the Temple of Earth. At that time, the special first division of the Liang family army blocked the imperial city, the special second division and the ninety-second division began to be on duty in Yanjing City, and the artillery brigade and the first special division were responsible for guarding prisoners of war outside the city.
At the end of the day, Liang Shuisheng, commander of the 1st Special Division of the Liang Family's Army, led his team to begin to disarm the guards of the Qing Court at the four gates of the Imperial City. Although there were occasionally one or two rebels who were unwilling to lose, in front of the Liang family's army, which was armed to the teeth, they did not even have a chance to resist, and one by one they were stifled with hope of survival.
However, perhaps it was the terrifying combat power and lethality of the Liang Jiajun that had made these Manchu officers and soldiers and even the common people shudder. Therefore, the resistance was only a very few, and the strict military discipline of the Liang family army did not evolve into a terrible turmoil or military disaster, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
It was night, and it rained again, but it was much lighter than the heavy rain in the early morning of July 15, Wu Laoqi, an old Han man who lived in the outer city of Yanjing City, opened his eyes, and spent the night in panic and anxiety.
"Old man, go to sleep......" Next to him, his wife Wu Chen muttered half-asleep and turned over, and Wu Laoqi answered. Knowing my wife, you can sleep. ”
--------------------
Listening to the sound of the rain hitting the tiles, I always recalled the experience in the past few days, and there were actually thieves who hit Yanjing City, this kind of thing, not to mention Wu Laoqi, who was already over the age of six, even when his grandfather was alive, he had never seen it.
These days, those officers and soldiers strictly forbade the common people to go out of the city, and it was also strictly forbidden to enter the inner city, Wu Laoqi's small cloth shop was opened near the Chongwen Gate, but these days he didn't dare to open the door to do business anymore, after all, although this is the capital of the Qing Dynasty, but a few days ago, he heard the terrible cannon that seemed to be able to crack the heavens and the earth for a long time, and then he also heard a familiar soldier say that the Chaoyang Gate and the Dongzhi Gate have let those thieves collapse, from that time on, Wu Laoqi strictly forbade his son, and the pregnant daughter-in-law took another step out of the house, and opened the kiln in the backyard, not afraid of 10,000, just afraid that if something happens, the family can hide in time, every day Wu Laoqi is thinking about how many pickles, rice, and noodles are left at home, which is enough to eat for a few days.
From that day on, all the bannermen who occasionally came to the outer city disappeared, and seemed to have retreated to the inner city, and the head of the inner city was full of those Eight Banner soldiers, and it was strictly forbidden for the Han people to approach.
And yesterday, outside Yanjing City, there was a murderous atmosphere, and there was a whole day of commotion, Wu Laoqi's family had already hid in the kiln, until the night, and did not hear any movement, so they got out, and went out to inquire, but saw that every household was unclear, so everyone didn't know what was going on, but some people said that the officers and soldiers were defeated again, and this news was heard in their ears, but it really scared people.
However, at this time, those officers and soldiers posted notices in the streets and alleys to tell everyone not to panic, and the thieves outside the city would not attack the city.
But Wu Laoqi always felt that his heart was not steady, after all, he was the head of the family, and he always had to plan for his own family. However, as those notices suggested, there was not a trace of movement. "Alas, it's difficult, this soldier is in chaos, and I don't know when it's going to be a head." Wu Laoqi yawned loudly, moved his body, and finally fell asleep in his heart.
"His father, his father?" Just when Wu Laoqi was sleeping in a daze, he heard the low voice of his wife in his ears.
Wu Laoqi couldn't help but snort and hurriedly got up: "What's wrong?" ”
"My son is at the shop, and he's looking at the street, and there are a lot of people on the street, so go and take a look, all of them are carrying the shotgun." As soon as his wife's words came out, Wu Laoqi was so anxious that his face turned blue. "That little brute, someone doesn't know how to hide yet! Hurry, hurry. ”
Wu Laoqi hurriedly put on a coat and rushed straight to the front yard, shouting non-stop: "Er, you little rabbit, get down for Lao Tzu!" ”
"Dad, come on, come and see, there are a lot of soldiers." Wu Laoqi's son shouted excitedly at the gate.
"You're a dead person, don't you want to live." Wu Laoqi dragged a mille-feuille bottom in his hand and rushed to the storefront, but saw his son and daughter-in-law standing at the door and looking at the street.
"Daddy, you're here." The daughter-in-law stroked her big belly with both hands and turned her head to greet her, and when she saw her father-in-law holding a mille-feuille in his hand, her face turned black, and she quickly reached out and pulled her husband.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" As soon as she turned around, she saw her father's appearance and was frightened. "Dad, don't fight yet, look outside."
"You little bastard, I'll pick you up later!" Wu Laoqi scolded indignantly, hurried to the window to take a look, first gasped, and then was stunned. He saw a group of strange soldiers in black clothes with small black pots on their heads and shotguns on their backs on the streets, which was secondary, because he also saw the two sons of the old man Zhao's family in the neighborhood tobacco shop opposite, standing outside, actually bragging and farting with those Qiu Ba happily.
"This ...... What the hell is going on? Wu Laoqi rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and looked again, he was really not mistaken, at this time, the second son of Old Man Zhao's family saw this side, and raised his hand to say hello. Uncle Wu, what's wrong, what are you standing there looking at? ”
"What are you doing, baby?!" Wu Laoqi saw those Qiu Ba and also cast his eyes on them, and he couldn't help mentioning it in his heart, so he hurriedly blocked his son, squeezed out an ugly smile and shouted.
"Hehe, I didn't do anything, these soldiers are from my cousin's family, and they just came from Guangdong, and I'm asking them about it." Zhao Lao Er replied with a smile.
"Guangdong?" Wu Laoqi couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that the black-clothed soldiers only showed a smile and nodded here, and then turned their eyes away, there seemed to be no trace of hostility, which made Wu Laoqi's head turn into a mess. "What the hell is going on?"
"Dad, these are the righteous army, the army of our Han people, today they have made friends with the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, and this place is under their control." The boy hurriedly explained to his father what he had just heard and seen.
"What? Rebels, aren't they the thieves who have been making trouble outside the capital for several days? Oh my God, why did these thieves enter the city?! Wu Laoqi's face suddenly turned gray and white, and his legs suddenly became weak.
"It's not that they entered the city, Dad, they are good people, don't beat us Han." The boy hurriedly helped his father.
"How do you know, boy? In this world, can there be good people who are anti-thieves? Wu Laoqi's mouth was a little trembling, and he wanted to stand up and run, but the leg didn't obey him.
"You, alas, don't you know yet, early this morning, someone went to the streets to read out the notice, the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom has announced his abdication, and the Great Qing Kingdom is gone." When she saw her father's expression, she felt funny but didn't dare to laugh.
"What? The Great Qing Kingdom is gone? You little rabbit cub, you dare to say such things, be careful that the government has arrested you, Lao Tzubai let you read books for so many years. Wu Laoqi let his son be frightened by this, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth, and whispered anxiously and quickly.
"This is Uncle Wu, what your son said is right, this Great Qing Kingdom is gone, and those Manchu banner people can no longer ride on the heads of our Han people." At this time, Wu Laoqi heard a hearty laugh from behind him.
When I turned around, I saw that the black-clothed thieves who were bragging to the son of the old man Zhao just now were all standing straight, and their eyes followed this person who also had a black pot on his head, but the black pot on his forehead was inlaid with a bright five-pointed star, and the middle-aged man with a strong body and a few hideous scars on his face was standing outside his shop with a smile, and it was this person who spoke.
And behind him, there were dozens of black-clothed thieves in the same costume as him, although they all had smiles on their faces, but every time those Qiu Ba came to make trouble, none of them had a bad smile on their faces.
"This soldier, the old man has asked you to say goodbye." Frightened, Wu Laoqi hurriedly said.
"Hahaha, old man, you're torturing me, Li can't afford it, get up quickly." This one said with a smile after helping Wu Laoqi up. "I'm not a military master, you're old, call me a descendant, if you don't think it's possible, it's okay to call me Commander Li, don't call me a master, I'm still young." This is none other than Li Xiaoshuang, the commander of the Second Division of Nate.
"That, that Master Li, our Great Qing Kingdom, is it really over?" Wu Laoqi swallowed his spit with difficulty and asked cautiously.
Hearing this, the Liang family soldiers behind that division commander Li all grinned. Li Xiaoshuang couldn't help but roll his eyes, couldn't help laughing, and nodded solemnly: "Old man, our Great Qing Kingdom is indeed gone." ”
