Chapter Twenty-Three--The Forbidden Peak
In the shouts of the palace maids and eunuchs, Zhang Yun walked to the front of the Taihe Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at this majestic and majestic hall, Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel emotional.
This hall was in later generations, and he also spent seventy yuan to come here.
But now in this era, come here and stand in front of this hall.
Zhang Yun himself didn't know what kind of mood he was in now.
There are joys and feelings, and the suffering of this nation should also come to an end.
Slowly walking up the steps, stepping on the corpses and blood of the so-called Ouchi guards.
When I came to the Taihe Palace, I looked up at the golden dragon chair above.
Zhang Yun couldn't help but walk up and sit down, he wanted to experience what it was like to have a dragon chair?
When he sat down, he was disappointed, and the dragon chair was so wide that he could neither lean on nor support it.
Sitting on it, I can only straighten my waist, and I feel uncomfortable after a long time.
Of course, the emperor should still be more comfortable than the ministers who are standing below and worshipping.
Zhang Yun sat for a while and then stood up and circled around the main hall a few times.
This should be the top of the Forbidden City! The rest of the Kunning Palace, Cining Palace and other palaces should not be comparable to it.
Zhang Yun pondered in the main hall, and the scouts on the left did not dare to disturb him.
At this moment, the eunuch and the palace maid who were driven away by the soldiers went out of the palace gate.
Zhang Yun heard the crying and hurriedly walked out of the hall and saw such a situation.
The soldiers did not have to drive them away, and the palace maids and eunuchs were all pitiful.
Zhang Yun always thought that as a man, he would be stronger when he was stronger.
It's not interesting to bully the disadvantaged, not to mention how chaotic Beijing is now, he also knows.
Now drive these poor people out of the palace, and their fate can be imagined.
There may be favored palace maids and eunuchs, but those people have long gone to the Rehe Palace with the emperor and the queen mother.
The rest are just poor people, as long as they don't interfere with the army's movements.
Zhang Yun would not touch them, and ordered the soldiers to take the treasures that could be removed as soon as possible.
All of them were gathered, and he had already ordered Chen Lin to lead an army north.
Come and receive these treasures. Walking in the Forbidden City, you can only see the surrounding pavilions.
It shows the grace and grandeur of the atmosphere. This is the culmination of ancient Chinese craftsmanship.
I don't know when I'll be able to walk here openly.
Zhang Yun thought silently, it's been a few years, as long as Lao Tzu develops the southwest.
At that time, the soldiers will go out of the southwest and point to the Central Plains, who will be able to resist?
The Taiping army was not able to do it, and what Zhang Yun could imagine was that the Taiping army broke through the city of Beijing.
The shock caused to the whole world, if the Manchus could not exterminate the Taiping army.
I'm afraid that their own rule will be shaken, and the Taiping army itself will be in trouble.
From the moment they raised troops in Jintian, Guangxi, their route was already doomed.
It is incompatible with the landlords and scholar classes of this era.
They themselves do not train their own officials, and I heard that Hong Xiuquan used to hold imperial examinations in Nanjing.
If you want to pry the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the scholars and the landlord class.
As a result, the people who came were all two or three cats, and it was not a climate at all.
This is, class war! The Taiping Army still could not escape the pattern of peasant uprisings in history.
destined to only be able to play the role of the pioneer of the king, the Taiping army in the original history.
Although the foundation of the Manchu rule was leveraged, there was no landlord class to raise troops afterwards.
Therefore, the Manchu Qing Dynasty dragged on the national fortune for several decades, and Zeng Guofan was also blamed.
If Zeng Guofan exterminated the Taiping army in history, he would immediately rebel with the Taiping army.
Perhaps this is not the case with the history of later generations. It has long been unrecognizable.
It's a pity, Zeng Guofan!
Later, his mind full of loyalty to the monarch forced him to be willing to be cut by the Qing court.
Zhang Yun remembered that in history, it seems that Zeng Guofan's younger brothers and sons once persuaded him to rebel.
But he refused, and every time he thought of this, Zhang Yun sighed with emotion.
Before I knew it, I turned around and turned around, in front of Kunning Palace.
Looking at this palace, Zhang Yunxin walked in, and there were still soldiers carrying treasures in and out.
Zhang Yun turned sideways to avoid the two soldiers carrying large porcelain vases and said to them.
Pick something that is easy to carry, something like this that is fragile and difficult to hold.
Just put it here and don't move, not because you don't want to take it, but because you're afraid that it will be broken on the road.
If your heart hurts, you will leave it to the Tongzhi child and keep it for him for a few more years!
He's going to be back here anyway, and that's all that stuff then.
Isn't it all his own? No one can take it away.
Following Zhang Yun, when the officer heard it, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to put down these difficult things.
Picking up those small pieces and carrying them out, Zhang Yun walked out of Kunning Palace and saw the small square in front of him.
Piled up with all kinds of antique treasures, I can't help but feel happy, this dispatch is worth the ticket price.
At this time, an officer was tugging and pulling, and several beautiful palace maids came over.
Zhang Yun saw it from afar, and immediately scolded loudly, I don't care if you want to give it to me or you yourself,
I don't want to let people go at once, my subordinates,
If there is a ** gangster, you can rob, you can smash, you can kill people and set fire.
But you must not, I caught ** women and bullying the old and weak.
The guns I have issued to you are for you to use to fight for the rights and interests of the poorest working people, not to do evil.
The officers who were pulling the palace maid towards Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
This is really a sycophant slapped on the horse's leg, although I have long known that Zhang Yun is not close to women.
From the beginning of the army to the present, it has been quite large-scale, if it is like the Taiping Army or Li Zicheng and others.
The current Zhang Yun has long been surrounded by wives and concubines, and he is surrounded by beautiful women.
Thinking of letting go of his hand immediately and letting the palace maids go, he hurriedly came over to excuse Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun said to them earnestly, if we want to achieve great things,
It's not that you can't get close to women, but at least you can't indulge in it.
You must know that Gentle Township is a hero's mound!!
The officers who slapped the horse's legs hurriedly echoed Zhang Yun's words.
Zhang Yun looked at them as submissive, and he didn't look like he really listened to them.
I couldn't help but feel irritable, and walked to the depths of the palace, thinking that the task of changing the quality of the people was still arduous! It takes a long time to achieve.
Perhaps when it is implemented, the 12-year compulsory free education will open up the wisdom of the people.
It should be better in the future, but after opening wisely, it is not conducive to his ascension to the throne and dictatorship.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yun had a little headache, no matter, take one step at a time, and talk about it when the time comes!
At this time, another officer came to report that the Taiping army had broken through Zeng Guofan's mansion in the capital.
dragged all his family members outside the city to be buried alive, Zhang Yun couldn't help but be a little speechless.
It seems that Li Xiucheng is not a gentleman either! The ancients said that the disaster could not affect the family, let alone the subordinates.
In the capital, there is no family member of Zeng Guofan who is also an officer in the army.
Li Xiucheng didn't have the ability, so he went to arrest those Zeng family members, but he was angry with these subordinates.
Zhang Yun couldn't help but look down on Li Xiucheng and the Taiping Army even more in his heart.
But think about it, Zeng Guoquan almost broke through the city of Nanjing, and the hatred between him and the Taiping army.
I'm afraid that even if the water close to the Yellow River can't be washed away, Zhang Yun can't help but feel a little relieved.
Thinking of Zeng Guofan, Zhang Yun couldn't help but sigh that this old man's luck was really good.
At this time, Zeng Guofan, who was being nagged by Zhang Yunnian, had already caught up with the emperor's escape team.
Cixi, holding the handkerchief tightly and asking Zeng Guofan, the capital is really broken.
Zeng Guofan lowered his head and said, the minister is guilty, he didn't expect the Taiping army to attack the city during the New Year.
Originally, this was nothing, and the minister had already made preparations to ensure that Beijing City was not lost.
But what the minister didn't expect was that the bandit surnamed Zhang in Xiangxi seemed to have also come to the capital.
And he came with his big flying iron bird, and listened to the soldiers who escaped later.
On the big iron bird, a lot of bombs were dropped at once, and Yongding Gate, and the more than 100-meter city wall next to it, fell like this.
Cixi said angrily. Zeng Guofan, what else do you use? 100,000 people couldn't hold the city of Beijing.
Zeng Guofan knelt and didn't dare to get up, lowered his head, and let Cixi scold.
At this time. None of the princes and ministers in the hall dared to say a word for Zeng Guofan.
The crime of losing Beijing is too great for anyone to have anything to do with it.
Cixi scolded the inner guards, and Zeng Guofan pulled it out and cut it down.
At this time, Devil Six immediately jumped out, although Lord Zeng was guilty.
But in the past, his contributions were monstrous, and his own merits in the extermination of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were indelible.
I can't treat the ministers so harshly in the Qing Dynasty, and the ministers ask the Queen Mother to think twice.
The reason why Devil Six prevented Cixi from killing Zeng Guofan was also because
Now Zeng Guofan, his son and younger brothers still have at least more than 100,000 troops in their hands.
Although some of them have been scattered, they can still be brought back.
At this time, killing less and increasing the national domain is not only useless, but also the source of disaster.
The reason why Zeng Guofan dared to come here to see Cixi when he was defeated and even lost the city of Beijing was also a battle.
Devil Six kept glancing at Cixi, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was also a smart person.
I was just carried away by anger just now, but now I calm down and think about it.
Zeng Guofan really can't be killed, especially in this turbulent time.
If I kill Zeng Guofan again, I'm afraid that my Qing Dynasty will really come to an end.
So Cixi held back her anger and gritted her teeth and called the Dali Inner guards.
threw Zeng Guofan out, took off his crown and flower feather, and pulled out his official robe.
He was reduced to all official positions and titles, demoted to a commoner, and never hired.
And he will never be allowed to enter the palace, and the mourning family will never want to see him again.
Zeng Guofan was set up out of the courtyard where the emperor was temporarily stationed, and looked back at this place.
I can't help but feel sad from my heart for a while, half a life of horses, a hundred battles in the yellow sand, today.
Having ended up in this fate, he didn't think about his own fault.
On the contrary, he hated Li Xiucheng and Zhang Yun of the Taiping Army.
The rebellious ministers and thieves have harmed me to this point, Zeng Guofan actually thinks badly, if there is no Taiping Army to raise troops, how can he be where he is today!
In fact, he and the Taiping Army complemented each other, and the Taiping Army started by rebellion.
Their Zeng family started by suppressing the Taiping Army, which is actually similar to the history of Cao Cao in the Han Dynasty.
Because Cao Cao was also the home of the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it can be said that Zhang Jiao fulfilled Cao Cao.
Hong Xiuquan fulfilled Zeng Guofan, history is always strikingly similar,
was driven out of the emperor's temporary residence, Zeng Guofan's hometown is now Hunan, and he does not dare to return.
had to go to Anhui to seek refuge with Li Hongzhang, and happened to meet Li Hongzhang leading the troops and entering King Qin.
Zeng Guofan saw his family in the army At this time, the holy decree issued by the Empress Dowager Cixi's manipulator Tongzhi had been transmitted to Li Hongzhang.
Zeng Guofan's sons were collectively unconvinced.
Everyone expressed their willingness to go to the Rehe Palace, and asked the Empress Dowager to withdraw the holy decree.
Even Li Hongzhang said that he would appeal to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor for Zeng Guofan's grievances.
Zeng Guofan hurriedly stopped them, saying that the Taiping army was still wreaking havoc in the capital.
Poor people in the capital are under the obscenity of the Taiping army, and life is worse than death.
You should go to the capital first to meet you, and I will contain 30,000 remnants of soldiers along the way.
Lead the troops to Beijing to King Qin, drive out the Taiping army as soon as possible, and welcome back the emperor and the queen mother.
This is what our courtiers should do, not to go to the Rehe Palace to do a big rebellion to force the palace,
As for what happened to the old man himself, he can only say that his fate should be like this, and he blames the Taiping rebels for harming me to such a field, and when there is a fire, he can only send it against the Taiping army.
Second, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, so you can't complain to the emperor and queen mother!!
