Chapter Twenty-Seven--The World is Shaken
Just when Zhang Yun was walking on the road from Shanxi to Hunan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The news of the breach of Beijing City finally spread throughout the world.
The world was terrified, and the Taiping Army, which had already been exterminated, once again covered the whole world.
It became a fierce fire, and Zhang Yun's reputation seemed to have been put on the side of the anti-thief.
Zhang Yun didn't care about this, but he was very curious, and stopped in a small county town in Henan.
He wanted to go to the city in person to find out the news and see that this time, the capital was broken.
What do people in the world think of this? He doesn't care what the world thinks of him.
The saying of the Americans is very good, if wisdom can kill an elephant, what do you need a gun for?
But Zhang Yun hasn't pretended to be forced for a long time, he wants to go into the city for a private visit to Weifu, pretending to be forced.
Although this is not his territory, it is only a small county town.
The walls were only three meters high, and the population of the city was less than 20,000.
It is conceivable how many Qing troops will be stationed, so Zhang Yun is not afraid at all.
The matter of the white dragon fish suit will happen to him, wearing casual clothes.
I also held a fan in my left hand, at this time of February.
It is indeed suitable for pretending, Chen Lin led a team of about thirty or forty local soldiers to follow Zhang Yun.
Take one step and shake three times, and go to the city, when you reach the gate of the city.
The Qing army guarding asked Zhang Yun for the entrance fee to the city, and the time for pretending to be forced had come.
Zhang Yun said secretly, and then immediately pretended to put away the fan.
He lowered his head and looked at the silk he was wearing and pointed to his clothes.
Ask the soldiers guarding the city gates, are you blind? Does Young Master Ben look like Hanako?
The commander of the Qing army guarding the city gate immediately nodded and said, "The young master can go in."
As he spoke, he kicked the soldier who asked Zhang Yun for the entrance fee.
Zhang Yun shook his head, and took thirty or forty people behind him to swagger in.
After entering the city, I looked left and right, but I didn't find any high-grade inns.
I had to choose a clean inn on the first floor and sat down.
At this time, it was dinner time at four or five o'clock in the evening, and the first floor of the inn was almost full.
The guards behind him immediately rushed up and took the people at a table in the center of the inn.
All of them were beaten and thrown out of the door, and the person who was beaten saw that this person had so many strong guards, and he had climbed up.
Those who were about to say two cruel words all shut up and left, and the whole inn was silent.
All the guests, including Xiao Er and the shopkeeper, all looked at Zhang Yun and his party with wide eyes.
Chen Lin slapped the table hard and shouted, Xiao Er, hurry up and serve the wine.
Xiao Er and the shopkeeper reacted, and immediately ran to the front to entertain Zhang Yun.
Except for Chen Lin who stayed with Zhang Yun, the other guards asked for some steamed buns and stood outside the door to eat while guarding.
All the guests in the entire inn bowed their heads to eat and drink, and did not dare to make a loud noise.
It wasn't until Zhang Yun was a little full that the first floor of the inn was restored, and before Zhang Yun came in, there was a noise.
Someone shouted loudly, now the Qing Dynasty is not as good as before.
The foreigners have entered the city of Beijing, and now even the Taiping army has entered the city of Beijing.
Is this day going to change? Someone immediately continued, isn't it?
I heard that the emperor and the queen mother were when the Taiping army broke the city.
went to Rehe Palace for refuge again, these Taiping soldiers are really terrible,
Fortunately, they are only active in Shandong, Hebei, and Jiangsu, and they do not mean to come to our Henan.
Otherwise, why are you here, relying on these green battalion soldiers, what can you do to resist?
The other person immediately answered, didn't he, I heard that the people of the capital.
They were all miserable, and even the mansions of those ministers in the capital were ransacked.
What are you, I've heard! Even the inside of the palace has been emptied,
However, I heard that it was not done by the Taiping Army, it seems that it was done by a bandit surnamed Zhang in Xiangxi, Hunan.
It seems that he and the Taiping army teamed up to attack the city of Beijing, and then he emptied all the palaces.
Everyone was in an uproar, and we didn't know such exciting news.
At this time, the man said proudly that my brother-in-law was cleaning the garden for the lord in the county office.
He overheard the county lord and the county lord, the lord Bo talking about it in the back garden.
Speaking of this bandit surnamed Zhang! It's amazing!
Do you know the Battle of Nanjing a while ago? When Lord Zeng Guoquan was about to break through the city of Nanjing,
It was this bandit surnamed Zhang who went to help, Li Xiucheng and the young king, Hong Tianguifu were able to break out of the encirclement and escape from Nanjing City.
We know the Battle of Nanjing, I heard that the Hunan army was killed in that battle of 200,000 or 300,000 people?
The corpses are scattered all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river, that is miserable! Even Lord Zeng Guoquan was beaten to death.
Hey, you said that Zhang Qing bandit, he carried the treasures of the Forbidden City,
I must be going back to Hunan, if I am intercepted by the army on this way,
That's funny, you just think! When the bandits surnamed Zhang marched in Shanxi, they alarmed the general army in Shanxi, and they were immediately caught up by the Qing army.
What was that war like? I'll tell you that the general soldiers of Shanxi have all been killed.
Everyone was in an uproar again, and some people shouted, this bandit is really powerful.
Whether he is powerful or not, we don't know, anyway, since that battle, no Qing soldiers have dared to pursue them.
They're all murderers! There was a talented old man sitting next to him and sighed,
The world is becoming more and more unpeaceful, and foreigners are fighting the Taiping Army.
Now there are such bandits in Hunan again, and they are only a few years old today.
I'm afraid it's really going to change the sky, and it has nothing to do with our people.
Whoever sat on the dragon chair of the Forbidden City, aren't we ordinary people still being ordinary people?
The people are suffering, the people are suffering, and when it comes and goes, we are suffering,
Those big people who are attracting wind and rain in the world will not face up to our people.
It's a crooked topic, isn't this talking about the Taiping Army, I heard that the Taiping Army just captured the city of Beijing,
was then driven to King Qin's Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang to beat Beijing City again.
Now they are breaking through in all directions, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, two adults,
is chasing and biting, entangled with each other, Shandong and Hebei have become a pot of porridge.
Now I don't know what the specific situation is, whether the Taiping army has been exterminated.
I've heard that Lord Li and they were able to defeat the Taiping Army,
It was because they bought a large number of muskets from foreigners that the Taiping army was looking for teeth all over the place.
Don't you know, that kind of musket is so powerful that it claims to be able to shoot for miles with a single shot!
Everyone didn't believe it, didn't it look like a red-coated cannon?
The man said, "Don't you turtles, don't you know that the red-coated cannons were sold to the court by foreigners?"
I heard that the cannons made by the imperial court themselves are not as good as the red-coated cannons sold to them by foreigners.
Everyone sighed in unison. One of them said.
Why are these foreigners so powerful, and the Taiping army will need hundreds of thousands of people to enter Beijing.
There are only a few thousand foreigners entering Beijing, are foreigners really so powerful?
It was not the princes of the imperial court who were afraid of foreigners to death that made foreigners famous.
As soon as these words came out, some people immediately disagreed, and defended all kinds of foreigners, talking about how powerful foreigners are, born with red hair and green eyes, all of them are one foot tall, one can beat a hundred, etc.
What he was talking about was foaming at the mouth, and some people were not convinced, but foreigners were not a mouth, two hands,
Could it be that foreigners are still monsters? Will it make a demon magic?
The man who was blowing vigorously saw that there was a little unbelief in the expressions of everyone,
immediately knew that the cowhide was blowing up, but everyone didn't believe it.
So he sat down and stopped talking!
Immediately afterwards, everyone enthusiastically discussed the matter of the Taiping Army,
Zhang Yun didn't want to listen, he found that many people were bragging.
Listening to these people talk and brag, I can't even hear a little inside information, most of the news is true or false, and it is difficult to justify,
It's not as good as the news that his own intelligence department and scouts have investigated,
got up one by one and left here, and the people on the first floor of the inn saw Zhang Yun leave, and the discussion became more enthusiastic.
After leaving the inn, stroll through the city, looking at the contrast between the houses on both sides.
Some of the high-gate compounds, and some are even about to collapse, dilapidated and waiting to be repaired.
The gap between the rich and the poor is huge, and you can see it everywhere on both sides of the road, homeless people,
pretending to be beggars are begging, but there are very few people who give them food according to Zhang Yun's eyes.
Zhang Yun saw an old man begging and went to the door of the rich man to beg.
The fierce slaves who were beaten out still beat him, such a big wooden stick,
It's hitting a normal person,
I'm afraid it's all the end of broken tendons, Zhang Yun hurriedly took two steps and greeted him,
The fierce slave who stopped and wanted to beat people looked at the old man on the ground, and at this time he was already out of breath and out of breath and less in breath.
Zhang Yun couldn't help glaring at the fierce slave angrily, and suddenly kicked out and directly kicked off one of his legs.
Seeing this, several other fierce slaves immediately brandished wooden sticks to come up and beat Zhang Yun.
As a result, the thirty or forty guards behind Zhang Yun immediately drew their knives and rushed up.
Zhang Yundao broke a leg from everyone, so he only heard a wail,
The doorman of the big family, when he saw this, immediately went in to find his master,
Zhang Yun simply didn't leave, just stood outside the gate, let the two guards carry it, and the old man went to find a doctor.
But Zhang Yun estimated in his heart that this old man should not be able to hold on.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps inside, an old man dressed like an old man.
rushed out with more than a dozen servants with wooden sticks in their hands, and the guards behind Zhang Yun saw this,
immediately rushed up, and even the old showman-like person fell to the ground together,
Zhang Yun stepped on the face of the old Xiucai and wanted to say something, but he had nothing to say, so he turned around and left!
Leaving behind a clamour, Chen Lin was afraid of an accident, and Dao Dashuai's subordinates went out of the city to transfer troops and horses.
No need, there's nothing to do, let's go now, out of town.
Chen Lin is still not at ease, he has just slapped the face of a rich family in the city,
I was really afraid of an accident, so I turned to the guard behind me and said, immediately go to a person to transfer a thousand men and horses outside the city.
You don't have to go into the city to block the door, Zhang Yun didn't say anything when he heard it,
After all, the daughter of a thousand daughters can't sit down, and it's good to be prepared.
When Zhang Yun walked slowly to the city gate, there were one or two hundred soldiers here, and the old Xiucai who was slapped in the face was also there.
is looking at Zhang Yundao with a hateful face, aren't you more people than people?
Zhang Yun glanced at him and turned around, and said to Chen Lin that unfortunately you expected it,
Chen Lin looked nervously outside the city, why didn't he see anyone coming to help, he was watching, and he saw outside the city,
walked into more than a thousand strong men with rifles and bayonets but wearing people's clothes,
Walked into the city and knelt down in front of Zhang Yun and said, I have seen the young master, Zhang Yun is very satisfied with their performance,
pretended to be forced to point at the old showman and they said, everyone broke a leg for me,
Those who dare to resist are killed on the spot, and then things are simple.
After the officers who took the lead were killed, the remaining Qing soldiers knelt on the ground and were beaten and scolded.
looked at Zhang Yun and shook his head, relying on such goods to protect his family and defend the country,
The common people might as well buy a piece of tofu, forget it about the collective collision, Nima is too bloodless,
I think of a certain dynasty in the later generations, a newspaper in a big city in the south said that a factory employee and dozens of police officers from the joint defense and police station beat each other.
Tut-tut, look at this bloodiness, to pick a hundred!!
