Chapter Twenty-Two—The Golden Chair

The third day of January, 1865

Outside the Yongding Gate of Beijing City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Lee so-sung gathered heavy troops and prepared to attack the city.

And at this time, what is Zhang Yun doing!

Before boarding the plane, he explained to the special agents and scouts of the Security Division who had come to escort him.

You have all seen the portrait of Hong Tianguifu! After the attack on the city of Beijing, the Taiping army will definitely be chaotic

If you find an opportunity to assassinate him secretly, you must not reveal any tails to prove that it was our work, if you could. Try to plant a spoil to Zeng Guofan.

And at this time, what is Zeng Guofan doing?

Because it was the Chinese New Year, the lower-level officials in Beijing who did not go to Rehe with the Empress Dowager and Emperor,

These days, they are all concentrated in Zeng Guofan's mansion. , one is to pay New Year's greetings to him

Second, I also want to find out the movements of the Taiping army outside the city, after all, they belong to the abandoned people.

Even the emperor and the queen mother did not take them with them.

Zeng Guofan was annoyed by them and had a headache, but it was not good to drive them out of the house during the Chinese New Year.

I just kept hiding in the backyard and didn't see any of them, anyway, the officials who are still in Beijing are not big names.

He wasn't afraid of offending anyone, but tonight, he had been restless.

I felt like something was going to happen, and my eyelids kept jumping.

He lay down and got up again to call the servants,

Just as he was about to go out, suddenly, a loud bang came, and the whole city of Beijing seemed to be shaking.

He was unsteady on his feet and almost fell, but fortunately, the domestic servant behind him quickly helped him.

When he raised his eyes and looked over, he saw the flames in the direction of Yongding Gate, and his heart chuckled.

Hurriedly ordered the servants to remove the sedan chair and prepare the horses, and waited for the servants to remove the sedan chair and lead the horses to come.

There was a sound from the direction of Yongding Gate, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing were accompanied by the cries of civilians.

But he never heard what the man was desperately shouting.

He was about to get on the horse, and the faithful old butler immediately hugged the horse's leg and said to the master, wait and see.

At present, the situation is unclear, and it is not appropriate to risk yourself, but at this time, the voice is becoming clearer and clearer, the city is broken, the city is broken.

Zeng Guofan finally heard his face turn pale and planted directly from the horse.

The old housekeeper behind him hurriedly called the servant to expand the courtyard, helped the old man on the horse, and immediately retreated from Guangqumen.

Because Zhang Yun didn't want the people and dogs in Beijing to jump over the wall and set fire to the Forbidden City.

So he discussed with Li Xiucheng to vacate the direction of the Guangqu Gate.

Li Xiucheng considered that he was afraid that the casualties of the soldiers would be too large, so he agreed to Zhang Yun's proposal.

In this way, Zeng Guofan escaped again, and together with the Battle of Changsha, Zeng Guofan had already escaped Zhang Yun's clutches twice.

I have to admit that he is lucky. It's hard to die even if you want to!

Chen Xiucai's house, which is several miles away from Yongding Gate, is already dark, and he just wants to go to bed.

Hearing the child crying, he was so upset that he simply stopped sleeping.

wanted to wait for his wife to coax the child well, but he was fortunate to come back to sleep and walked to Chen Xiucai in the front yard.

Don't know why? Tonight it feels like there's a stone in my heart that keeps pressing,

Walking around the yard, the more irritated I became, and before I knew it, I walked to the door.

Menzi saw him from afar, and when he came over, Menzi said.

It's late at night, sir, you still haven't rested! Beware of colds, the weather has been bad lately.

Chen Xiucai said that it was out of the way, but I just couldn't sleep, so I walked around.

It was as if something was going to happen all the time.

Heavy, Menzi said strangely, why does the old man feel this way?

The little one also feels that today is not ordinary, Chen Xiucai said strangely, it turns out that you are the same.

Isn't that a good sign, but what is going to happen?

Menzi comforted the master, this is the New Year, it's only the third day of the new year today!

What could happen? I guess we're thinking too much about it!

Master take a walk, let's go back and rest early!

Chen Xiucai responded casually, turned around and walked into the room again, and the lady said strangely,

Why don't you rest, sir? Don't you usually go to bed early and wake up early?

Mrs. Chen Xiucaidao, I don't know why for my husband tonight? Always restless.

It always felt like something was going to happen, and just now the husband walked to the door.

Menzi also has the same feeling, which makes the husband even more confused.

Madam said, sir, do you think too much? Go to bed! When the concubine coaxed the child.

I was about to go to bed, and suddenly I yawned as I spoke, and it seemed that I was tired during the day.

Chen Xiucai said, it's useless to blame your husband, and I didn't let Mrs. you follow me to enjoy happiness.

Up to now, there are only two rooms in the house, and the mother-in-law and a few subordinates are a family.

There is not even a maid ring to help the lady coax the child, the woman is human, husband, don't say that.

The concubine body can spend her life with her husband in this life, and it is already a blessing from three lifetimes.

I only hope that in the big exam next year, my husband will be able to pass the exam, so that our family situation will be significantly improved.

Chen Xiucai said, everything is inferior, only reading is high, but this world, this world.

As he spoke, he shook his head and went back to his room, and just stepped into the door, he heard a loud noise.

He was startled, and then the children in the outhouse cried out loudly.

Mrs. was also nervously calling his name, and Chen Xiucai hurriedly walked out again.

Helping his wife, don't panic, everything is a husband,

Isn't this the Yongding Gate? The voice came, and then his wife suddenly said again.

Don't talk nonsense, there are 100,000 troops of Lord Zeng in the city!

Zeng Daren was a famous general in the world, and he started the army with regimental training and brave battalions, and fought in the entire Qing Dynasty, with few defeats.

There are 100,000 people guarding the city, and the capital can't be broken, so why did the Queen Mother and the Emperor go to the Rehe Palace again? His wife disagreed.

As the shouting of killing got closer and closer, Chen Xiucai finally panicked.

hurriedly rushed all the servants who woke up to check the doors and windows.

Tell them that they must lock the doors and windows and wait for the family to come back after locking the doors and windows.

Chen Xiucai and his wife were holding the child in the courtyard, and the servants were facing each other.

Seeing the servant and looking at him, Chen Xiucai was in a strong spirit, the doors and windows of our house are closed, everyone who is okay can rest assured!

But when he said this, even he didn't believe it, thinking of the fate of the people who broke the city in history.

He couldn't help but feel very desperate, and hoped in his heart that the Taiping Army would be able to do nothing in the autumn.

But he also knew that this was a luxury, a city that had been breached since ancient times.

The fate of the people in the city is generally not much better, even if there is no such thing as slaughtering the city.

No matter what the thousands of little people in Beijing think in their hearts?

The city of Beijing is finally broken, and as for their next fate, only God knows.

Zhang Yun piloted the plane and threw 100 tons of aerial bombs at Yongding Gate.

hovering at low altitude for two weeks, I saw that even the city wall was blown down dozens of meters.

He immediately turned around and returned to the field airfield outside the city to join the scouts who were his personal guards.

Rushed to Beijing City non-stop, because the field airport was about ten kilometers away from the city wall of Beijing.

When Zhang Yun arrived at the place where the Yongdingmen city wall collapsed, not only the Taiping army, but even a division under him had entered the city, and the city was now in chaos.

On almost every street, there is the crisp sound of gunshots from Minie guns,

The whole city was shrouded in a cry, and Zhang Yun guessed without thinking about it.

At this time, the Taiping army was harming the common people, and he didn't understand these people who were born from ordinary people.

Once you have a knife and gun in your hand, you will become so brutal and inhumane.

But at this time, I'm afraid even Li Xiucheng can't stop it.

Zhang Yun will not be this villain, he is also afraid of being shot by others!

Walking on the streets of Beijing, there were miserable shouts from the houses on both sides.

Zhang Yun knew that he couldn't do anything, so he could only move forward with his head down.

Although this tragedy was also directed by him, it was not for his help.

Thinking that the Taiping army would also go to other places to harm the people, Zhang Yun's heart felt much better.

As for whether there is guilt in his heart, that is only known to Zhang Yun himself.

In the city of Beijing, riding a horse for half an hour finally squeezed away the rebels and came to the foot of the inner city.

There was already chaos outside Chongwen Gate at this time, and the Chongwen Gate and the city wall next to the gate were blown down by the Taiping military explosives for more than 100 meters.

The eunuchs in the imperial city seen by the naked eye were also taken by the Taiping army,

captured a lot of what was left, and it was estimated that it would not be possible to escape, and those people thought that the doors and windows were closed,

can escape the catastrophe, Zhang Yun has to say that they are too naïve.

Will there be eggs under the nest? The CD is broken, and I still want to protect my family!

Zhang Yun also understands the thoughts of these people, as if the Chinese people have been sweeping the snow in front of their doors since ancient times.

I just think that as long as I don't mess with others, others won't mess with me.

Even before Zhang Yun crossed, the aunts of the welfare home, including the dean.

It is all a strong teaching, Zhang Yun and other children should be kind to others.

Be patient in everything, don't conflict with others, be obedient, as long as you don't mess with others, others won't mess with you, etc.!

Zhang Yun recalled this incident again, combined with the tragedy in front of him,

In the city of Beijing than illumination, Emperor Chongzhen was breached before raising silver taels everywhere,

But there was little gain, and when Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing, it is said that tens of millions of taels of silver were looted.

I don't know what the princes and ministers of Beijing City thought at that time.

Every time Zhang Yu thinks of this, he can't help but sigh that Chinese people always endure.

When I endured it until I couldn't bear it anymore, I thought of resisting, but is it still useful to resist at this time?

Someone else's knife is on your neck, and you regret not helping to defend the city.

I just thought that the city was broken, and I was fine. But I didn't expect a word,

If you don't mess with me, I'm going to beat you!"

Zhang Yun walked silently all the way through the inner city and came to the outside of the palace.

There are still so-called Ouchi guards guarding outside the Shenwu Gate, and according to the agreement, the Taiping Army will not come here.

Well, Zhang Yun will not use a plane to blow it up, because he is afraid of blowing up the palace.

In this way, there was only a strong attack on the edge of the city wall on the Shenwu Gate when Zhang Yun arrived,

There was even an armed eunuch, and Zhang Yun couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene!

How is it the same as in the Ming Dynasty? At the last moment, the eunuchs were dispatched.

Does this indicate that the Manchu Qing have also come to an end?

Putting aside these chaotic thoughts, Zhang Yun began to assign tasks, making sure to control the entire Forbidden City in a very short time to prevent people and dogs from jumping over the wall.

You must know that this city, Zhang Yun used it to great use after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Whether it is demolished and used to build its own palace, or it is kept as a palace.

Zhang Yun did not allow anyone to dare to destroy it, and at the same time explained to the soldiers who attacked it, and they were not allowed to deliberately destroy the pavilions and pavilions inside.

With Zhang Yun's order, all his subordinates rushed to attack the Shenwu Gate.

It is rare to have an opportunity to perform in front of Zhang Yun himself,

These soldiers almost fought for their lives, just to gain a future.

Under the cover of the riflemen, the Demoman advanced with death, and with a loud bang, the entire Shenwu Gate flew into the sky.

After entering the Forbidden City, Zhang Yun ordered the soldiers to immediately control all the eunuchs and palace maids in the Forbidden City.

and kill all the so-called Ouchi guards who resist and refuse to surrender,

And he himself, under the escort of the scouts, walked towards the Taihe Palace, commonly known as the Jinluan Palace.

At this time, Zhang Yun's mood was excited, this was not the Taihe Hall that could be entered for seventy yuan in later generations.

In today's world, the Jinluan Hall is also the Taihe Palace, but it represents a special significance.

It is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties held their enthronement ceremony! It's incredibly important.
