Chapter 420: Where is Daoguang? Ask for a commuter pass
"Your Majesty, you are a golden body, can you ......"
Mu Zhang'a is about to die in a hurry, isn't this Daoguang Emperor's brain cramping? Quite a big emperor wants to fight with a shotgun? Don't be afraid...... Uh, I'm not afraid of being shot to death by Cantonese bandits, but the terrible thing is that I can't die! If the dignified Qing Emperor falls into the hands of Cantonese bandits, ancestors! How good is that?
"Your Majesty, the shotgun is here." At this time, Cui Dafu ran out of the Heart Cultivation Hall with two well-made shotguns. These two shotguns were built with Emperor Daoguang - this light can become the emperor, but also thanks to the work of these two shotguns, on the same day in the Guiyou Change, killed two Tianli Sect thieves, so that Emperor Jiaqing saw the "wisdom and courage of the two princes" of Min Ning, who was the second prince at that time, and afterwards gave Daoguang a "Prince Zhi" and became a world-recognized candidate for the crown prince. Later, Emperor Jiaqing died suddenly, and the edict of succession was not found at first, but Prince Zhi Min Ning still indisputably sat on the throne of the emperor and became the eighth emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Receiving the beloved shotgun from Cui Dafu's hand, Emperor Daoguang sighed a little emotionally for a while, and opened what he wanted to say the most, but he didn't know where to start, the two monarchs and ministers were relatively speechless.
"Shout with me, those who descend will not die!"
Zhang Lexing, the Marquis of Chengtian of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, had already brought thousands of loud voices from Zhili, Henan or Shandong at this time, shouting in front of the Zhengyang Gate that had just been captured by the Taiping Army, "Those who surrender will not die". There were also a few "death-free flags" with black letters on a white background that were hung high, and any Qing soldiers who did not want to fight anymore would be escorted here and wait to be sent down as long as they threw their weapons and surrendered.
You don't need horses to siege a city. Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the cavalry of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has nothing to do these days. Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, sent him a "shouting" errand. Let him select a man with a loud voice and a clear speech from among the soldiers of the Taiping Army in the three provinces of Zhilu and Henan. Responsible for shouting and persuading surrender this evening.
"The edict of the king of the east said: Those who descend will not die......"
Such shouts will not have any effect in the morning for a month. Because no one in the banner and Qing soldiers in Beijing would believe that as long as they surrendered, they could avoid death. If you change the position, now that the Qing army has entered the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, will the Taiping army defending the city have a way to live?
But now...... Is there really a captured Eight Banners officers and soldiers who have been released, and the peace between the Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has not been reached? As long as the Taiping Army is within the Great Wall, outside the Guan, and in the north, it is still the land of the Qing Dynasty! This Mu Zhongtang signed and painted with Yang Xiuqing, the eastern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Can there be fake?
Of course, this negotiation took place in secret. Theoretically, this is the case, but for the masters of the Yellow Banner in Beijing, the Qing Dynasty is transparent, and there is nothing they don't know about - except for Emperor Daoguang's plan to "blame Jiangdong".
Anyway, the matter of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Manchu Qing Dynasty negotiating peace has already spread all over Beijing, and everyone knows that the Taiping army does not necessarily have to kill all the banner people. As for the ordinary green camp and practicing bravery, they will not be killed. According to the family members who followed Mu Zhang'a out of the country to negotiate with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (a characteristic of the Qing Dynasty, domestic servants can follow their masters to participate in national affairs), the Taiping soldiers who were responsible for receiving the guards were all Xiangyong who joined after being captured in Henan. I changed my clothes. Continue to be a soldier and eat food, and if you are lucky, you will become an official!
Since it is possible not to die. Who wouldn't want to live?
"Don't believe the words of the Cantonese bandits, you don't have to live! Brothers, the time has come to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and the emperor! ”
To the south of the Great Qing Gate, the Minister of Defense, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of Military Aircraft have gathered thousands of people, including foreign spearmen with yellow flags, and shotspearmen and sword players who are directly trained in the army, all of whom are afraid. Looking at the Taiping army surging from the direction of Zhengyangmen.
Today is the first day of the first month of the 29th year of Daoguang, some time ago, the battle of Beijing has been suspended, the Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are negotiating peace, and a peace treaty has been reached......
Looking at a large number of subordinates who were at a loss, there was also a burst of despair in Nerjing's forehead. Defend the city and defend the city, and the city wall is guarded! Now that the city walls are collapsing, are you still guarding it? But if you don't keep it, there is the Forbidden City behind you, and the emperor is inside!
"Quick, quick! Three columns of horizontal formations ......"
Chen Picheng's ears rang Zeng Tianyang's shout, this veteran of the Taiping Army had already come up with a foreign gun!
"The time has come to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and the emperor! Fought with the Cantonese bandits......"
Nar was still shouting, but the officers and soldiers under his command had begun to waver. The first problem was the soldiers of the Zhili training army, and these days, the news of Seng Lingqin digging the dam of the Yellow River to flood the three provinces of Zhilu and Henan has also spread in the inner city of Beijing. This matter is nothing in the eyes of the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, the lives of the Han people are worthless in the eyes of the children of the Eight Banners, and the Green Battalion soldiers are all hereditary soldiers, and there is no one at home to farm, so it is not flooded. However, the Zhili training army is all the children of peasant families, and they all know the way of the Yellow River floods, so the army's spirit has long been shaken. As soon as the Taiping Army's foreign spear formation was arranged, these Zhili Lian Yong began to disperse one after another.
"Don't quit! No mercy! Who dares to retreat Lao Tzu and destroy whose nine clans! ”
Including the Nerjing forehead, a cadre of banner officers shouted and scolded, but unfortunately the Qing Dynasty has reached this point, how can it destroy the clan of Zhili and Lianyong? And these Zhili Lian Yong did not retreat, but threw the guy and ran towards the death-free flag under the Zhengyang Gate.
"Fire! Kill these unconscionable money-earners! Nar jumped on his forehead and ordered.
A crackling platoon of guns rang out, and the fleeing Zhili Lian Yong was knocked down, but the foreign gun team of the Taiping Army followed closely.
"Dashuai, it's no good, retreat!"
"It's too late to reload......"
"No, I'm going to lose......"
The bullets were empty, and it was not so fast to reload, seeing the Taiping army with foreign guns lined up, the Eight Banners under the command of Nerjing couldn't stand it. This thing of standing upright and being shot, as long as people with a normal brain can't stand it.
"Your Majesty, what can I do about this!" Nerjing looked up to the sky and sighed, but what answered him was a burst of foreign guns from the Taiping army......
……
"Win, win...... Brothers, follow me! Catch the light! ”
The horn of the charge had already been blown, and Chen Picheng cried and laughed and shouted to his subordinates to charge: "The Qing Demon has been defeated!" Let's rush into the Forbidden City, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is going to sit in the world! ”
There are no tall walls on both sides of the Daqing Gate, only a low wall more than one person high, and there are two small houses on the side of the low wall, which are for the guards guarding the gate to rest. Although Chen Picheng's subordinate scouts were thin and small, they were all good at climbing, and they crossed the wall in three or two to enter the Great Qing Gate.
Behind the Daqing Gate is Tiananmen Square, and the place where Chen Picheng is now is the Tiananmen Square in the future! However, at this time, Tiananmen Square was not as open as in later generations, and there were walls around it, which was a T-shaped palace square covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
"Brothers, follow me! The Daoguang Demon Head is right behind that door! ”
Of course, Daoguang is not waiting to be arrested behind Tiananmen Square, behind Tiananmen Square is the Noon Gate, which is where the real defensive walls of the Forbidden City are located, with tall walls and wide moats.
"Damn, how can there be a city wall!" Looking at the closed city gate and the tall city wall, Chen Picheng was also a little dumbfounded, where is this Emperor of Light?
"Brigade Marshal (Chen Picheng's official position is Brigade Marshal), my lord, I have caught a demon official!"
Just when Chen Picheng didn't know how to enter the Forbidden City, several young soldiers from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom escorted a few trembling little eunuchs over.
"The good man spares his life, spares his life, the little one is not an official, he is a little eunuch, the little one is called Xiao Guizi, and he is the smallest and smallest little eunuch...... Woo woo...... "One of the little eunuchs fell to his knees and shouted.
Chen Picheng didn't quite understand the words of this little Guizi's father-in-law, but he still understood the word "eunuch", and he heard Mr. Storyteller in the countryside of Guangxi say what a eunuch does. So he asked in Guangxi official dialect: "Where is Daoguang?" If I take me to catch Daoguang, I won't kill you, and I can also be an official for you! ”
Xiao Guizi kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Emperor, Daoguang is in the Yangxin Palace, in the Yangxin Palace, the small one can take the adult to catch him, Donghuamen has not yet ......" (to be continued......)
