Previously, an airship had quietly reconnoitred the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the sky over Tianjing in guò "silent mode". Hong Xiuquan named his palace "Celestial Empire Palace", which is the origin of the famous name of the serious "Celestial Empire". The palace of the Celestial Dynasty used to be the Liangjiang Governor's Office of the Qing Dynasty, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was called Xiyuan, which was Mu Xin's mansion, and the earliest was Zhu Yuanzhang's Han Palace, a classical garden with Jiangnan characteristics.

Throw the little boy down, this ancient Jiangnan garden may be completely reimbursed, however, if the British army comes to attack the city, it must also be the vanguard of artillery fire, and it will be destroyed, and the war is always cruel, especially for traditional Chinese wooden buildings.

The Air Force of the East India Company hired a spy from the Taiping Army to go up to the reconnaissance plane to help them locate the important buildings of the Celestial Palace, and they used, of course, a military-grade radiolocation system with an accuracy of up to 10 meters, which was enough to provide quite reliable coordinates for strategic bombing.

The name of this spy is Rong Hong. The East India Company recruited people who were familiar with the Celestial Palaces in Shanghai with high salaries, and Rong Hong had an old relationship with Hong Renji, the godlord of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who had just visited the Celestial Palaces not long ago, and was more attentive to the residences of important figures, and the East India Company had a huge reputation in China because it had protected the Old Summer Palace, so he was looking for a job in Shanghai to give it a try.

Hong Renji is Hong Xiuquan's brother, and he is also a member of the God Worship Association, but the family feels that this God worship will be unreliable, and he is not allowed to follow Hong Xiuquan to mix, so this guy was separated from Hong Xiuquan early, but his heart is to God, and he has been preaching, and later after Hong Xiuquan's incident, he has always wanted to reunite with his eldest brother, but he failed to do so, and later, Hong and Feng people revolted in Guling under the round-up of Qing soldiers, and Hong Renji had failed to arrive at the current affairs. He was caught by the villagers, broke free from the ropes and fled, arriving in Hong Kong in April of the second year of Xianfeng (1852).

After Han Shanwen's death, he served as a preacher in London, studied astronomy, paid attention to Western culture, and studied through guò, Hong Renji's ideological understanding reached a new leap, he was no longer the person who only had peasant consciousness in the past, he has become an intellectual with modern consciousness. In his mind, a plan for transforming China with the development of capitalism has gradually been formed, which is the origin of his "New Chapter of Senior Administration" in the future. In the eighth year of Xianfeng, he left Hong Kong and went north, arriving in Tianjing on March 20, the ninth year of Xianfeng (April 22, 1859). At this time, after the internal strife in Tianjing, the early leaders were either killed on the battlefield or killed in the infighting, and the winged king Shi Dakai led his troops to flee, and the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan was suspicious of different surnames, and there was no one in the court. The king of heaven relied on Hong Renji, and within a month, he accumulated and sealed the title of "the king of the Jingzhong army of the opening dynasty and the king of the heavens and the Ganggang", and ordered him to prime minister the government.

Rong Hong met Hong Renji when he was in Hong Kong, but he didn't expect that his old friend would become the prime minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and after interacting with the prime minister, he naturally had more important positions in the palace of the Celestial Empire than others had visited, plus he was a foreign student at Yale University, and he won the trust of the East India Company at once, where did he think of what it meant to mark the Heavenly King's Palace? It was impossible for the air force general to tell him about the "childhood sweetheart" plan, and if he had known that the airship would drop the terrifying little boy on the head of his old friend, he would probably not be so enthusiastic in pointing out the scout's various vital positions.

Previously, Rong Hong had already told the air force general about the building where Hong Xiuquan worked, but today when he came to the sky above the Tianwang Palace, it seemed a little different, it turned out that Hong Xiuquan was giving a lecture in the square in front of the palace, vowing to defend Tianjing together, and the time has come for God to test his people, and the people who can stand the test will ascend to heaven, and those traitors will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell and be roasted by the fire of hell forever.

The Air Force lieutenant in charge of the bombing requested the Security Committee to change the coordinates to the square in front of the temple. The Safety Committee acceded to the lieutenant's request and issued a command with a bomb counter of 5, meaning that this was the fifth live fire operation of the strategic bomber. The first 4 were all in Italy.

Because the bomb weighed 2,200 pounds, the propeller of the airship had to be at full power, and it could still transmit the noise far away at an altitude of 1,000 meters, and the people of the entire heavenly capital heard it and looked up one after another.

The British and Hunan armies surrounding Tianjing City had already heard the roar of the propellers, and General Grant felt that this time the assistance was extraordinary, because he heard that the air force's reconnaissance was silent, and it was really unexpected for him to be so noisy this time.

Grant and the generals around him, such as Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, picked up high-powered binoculars to take a look at the visitors from outside the sky, a huge "beluga whale", a beautiful and deadly monster in the sky.

The lieutenants of the Air Force were a little uneasy, such a big bomb would fly too low, but the airship had reached its limit and could no longer climb.

With only one kilometer left to reach the target, the password has been dialed in place and a green light has been lit, indicating that it is ready to drop the bomb, and the airship has already entered a constant cruising state. Dropping bombs is a technical job, ordinary pilots have to go through a long time of training, and have quite high requirements for the state of the scene, the bomb point is affected by the wind speed, altitude, and the speed of the airship itself, and what is more difficult is that the airship with a full load must have speed, otherwise it will fall down, and at this time it cannot follow the old rules of stationary bombing over the target during the Italian War.

In order to make sure that the bombs could be dropped with all the shots, Singapore's IBM specially compiled a mechanical computer program for this kind of strategic bombing, which took into account everything except the wind speed. Because the bomb weighs one ton, the wind speed can not affect much, and after many practices, the bomb delivery accuracy at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour and an altitude of 1,000 meters has reached within 30 meters.

The believers of the false gods are somewhat frustrated with the decadence of the current situation, but when their heavenly king makes a vow with strong feelings, they feel the power of faith, and the appearance of the airship is the "miracle" of this power, and all the believers are overjoyed, God has appeared, look! There is a divine fish flying in the sky, oh my God, God has really appeared, those who betrayed God, you wait to go to hell!

"Long live God! Long live the Heavenly King! ”

All the believers prostrate on the square, most of the believers burst into tears, years of faith have finally not been in vain, our great king of heaven has brought God's will to the world, blessed the believers, and the end of foreigners and demons has come!

Hong Xiuquan took the telescope brought by his subordinates, looked at it, was overjoyed, and shouted in a majestic voice: "God will never abandon us!" The heavenly army and holy soldiers, under the leadership of the divine fish, go out of the city to fight to the death with the foreigners, and the heavenly army will win! ”

The mighty and majestic "victory" voices of the heavenly army resounded in the sky, causing the British troops outside the city to look at each other, feeling that there might be a bitter battle today, or...... An unbearable massacre?

At the peak of the morale of the Taiping Heavenly Army, the lieutenant activated the mechanical computer bomb throwing system, and the countdown dial jumped from 18 seconds.

…… 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, bomb! The unloaded airship gave the lieutenant an extremely strong push on his hips, and he liked this feeling, not because he was a, but because he was really afraid of the terrible 2,200-pound bomb, and the shockwave wouldn't stun him and his two friends, right?

"Huh? The world has dropped a big pie? ”

"Isn't it pity that we have not eaten well after being surrounded, and God has brought us good food?"

Li Xiucheng, a military talent with a strong sense of crisis, instantly felt that something was wrong, and at this time, he couldn't care about the majesty of the Heavenly King, and he ran away with his own life.

Hong Xiuquan stared at the "big pie" and didn't see that King Zhong had run away disloyally.

The naughty little boy did not hit the square directly, but landed in the stable next to it, and the next moment it was the scene of thousands of horses galloping, and if there was a lucky person in the distance who could witness this miracle on earth, he would see countless body parts of horses, legs, hips, and heads...... Mixed with pillars, masonry and stone flew up to a height of 100 meters, followed by various parts of the human body.

With the center of the big pie falling as the center of the circle, there were almost no intact corpses within 200 meters, and the entire square in front of the hall became a big pit, and even extended to the West Garden, and the Tongyin Pavilion and the Flower Hall were completely destroyed by the shock wave, collapsing like a pile of thousand-year-old mud.

The projectiles that flew into the air fell into the beautiful Taiping Lake one after another, stirring up bursts of **** in the smoke waves.

Qianlong's imperial pen book "not tied to the boat" is built on a bluestone platform in Taiping Lake, with 10 layers of giant bluestone one by one. On weekdays, when the lake is full, people can only see the parts of the three or four layers below the side of the boat, but after the lake is drained, all the six layers of bluestone that have been submerged underwater all year round will appear. They are 3 meters tall and the edges are carefully polished into an arc to show the graceful curve of the wooden ship's profile. The most brilliant thing is the tail of the untied boat, which is dragged in the center with a whole piece of bluestone carved tail rudder, the rudder rod sticks out of the water, and even the rudder ring that fixes the tail rudder is clearly delineated.

This rather charming name comes from "Zhuangzi Lie Yukou": "The skillful work and know the worried, the incompetent have nothing to ask for, the full food and Ao You, the pan is like a boat that is not tied, and the empty and Ao You are also." ”

Now, the untethered boat has become a garbage dump of ruins and remnants of explosions. A half-dead man crawled out of the garbage heap, his face covered in blood, his eyes full of panic and despair, it was none other than Li Xiucheng, the loyal king who had fled at the opportunity, and the powerful blast shock wave caused him to be temporarily unconscious, and this was spared because he stood at the end away from the stable.

The surroundings were as quiet as ghosts, and it seemed that all the compatriots had ascended to heaven, Li Xiucheng wanted to stand up, but found that he was no longer capable of standing, and he couldn't help but feel sad and wept bitterly.

Half an hour later, the terrified soldiers of the Taiping Army came to check the situation, and the knowledgeable soldier said: "It was a foreigner who dropped a big flower bomb with something flying in the sky." ”

Compatriots echoed in agreement, "Yes, it's such a big flowering bomb." They came to the square in front of the temple and looked at the square that could no longer be found, for it had become a huge crater, as if it were the entrance to hell.

After a long time, someone remembered: "What about His Majesty the Heavenly King?" ”

There was a long silence. (http:／／）。 They had already guessed that the King of Heaven had probably returned to God's Father to enjoy his family.

The friends finally found the big boss Li Xiucheng, complained to each other, and then agreed to surrender. The cronies around the King of Heaven are all ascending to heaven, and no one can stop Li Xiucheng's surrender anymore, the foreigners are too terrible.

It was not that the foreigners were terrible, but that the East India Company was terrible, and the huge explosion made the British soldiers besieging the city deafening and looking at each other. A short time later, the East India Company's military headquarters sent a telegram to the British army, saying, "The supreme leader of the Taiping Army and his cronies must have been killed, and your army can wait for an opportunity to attack." ”

The British army had no chance to attack, and Li Xiucheng was carried out by his subordinates to dedicate the city. And when the British commander Grant saw the huge pit in the square in front of the palace, he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he was still thinking about not heeding the warnings of the East India Company and sacking the Old Summer Palace. Now, even if the British Prime Minister orders to ransack the Old Summer Palace, he would rather die than obey, otherwise he will die an ugly death.
