Chapter 217: Mother of the Dead Country
Putting down the flyer in his hand, Qingliang glanced towards the Forbidden City, and then sighed again.
"Your Majesty, I'm ...... There's no way! ”
Saying that, he shook his head helplessly, the queen mother and the emperor are going to flee to the legation to avoid trouble, he is a small general, what kind of life does he sell!
When he shook his head and sighed, under the gate tower of the Daqing Gate, hundreds of soldiers were pulling the mud bags that blocked the hole in the city gate of the urn city, and there were more than a dozen bloody minds hanging next to it, which were the severed heads of the soldiers who did not want to surrender.
"Your Excellency, you are wise!"
The staff member standing next to him immediately replied.
"What a wise man!"
Qingliang sighed and said again.
"I also want to find a way for my brothers to live!"
"It's not that you're old and wise, if it weren't for your wisdom, this brother wouldn't have died in vain."
Yinghe, who was standing, smiled, he didn't want to die, and the brothers who were defending the city didn't want to die either, this saw through the light that the thieves in the outer city did not kill the prisoners indiscriminately, and after being guaranteed, naturally there was no idea of co-living and dying with the Qing Dynasty, anyway, it had been lowered once, and it was not bad this time.
"Come on, don't pat your grandfather's ass, I just hope that the Guangfu Army can talk and count!"
"My lord, you don't joke about it!"
In this kung fu, a soldier ran upstairs, and as soon as he entered the arrow tower, he first knelt down and bowed.
"My lord, the sandbags are almost all out!"
"Put the signal! Open the city gates and raise the white flag! ”
A series of orders came out of Qingliang's mouth, and finally he deliberately confessed.
"Tell the brothers, when the Liberation Army is in progress, don't act rashly, we can point to the reunion of the family with our lives, the Qing Dynasty is dead, this hardcore silver grain must be gone, and then the old and young of the family can point to our masters!"
"Yes, sir!"
In the city gate hole of the urn city, the sandbag was weighed out of a seven, seven, eighty, eight, three lanterns were hung up, and a white flag was inserted into the arrow tower, first the door hole of the urn city was opened, and then the Qing gate was opened, the Qing gate waited for a long time to recover the officers and soldiers, loaded with guns along the Qing gate into the urn city, the urn city kneeling on both sides of the Qing army in rows, out of the urn city on both sides of the street on both sides of the Qing army are that kneeling.
"The sin will be Qingliang, respectfully the ...... of the righteous army entering the city"
Qingliang, who was kneeling on the ground, said this to the leading officer, and as he spoke, he heard a rapid gunfire coming from the direction of [***] facing the Daqing Gate, and at this time, accompanied by a rapid sound of horses' hooves, the soldiers who entered the city immediately stood on both sides, pressed down the muzzle of the gun, and pointed the bayonet reflecting the bleak moon at the prisoner on the ground.
A whirlwind of cavalry with a saber in their right hand, first passed the Daqing Gate, and then passed the gate of the Urn City, galloping along the long wait, the horseshoe under the horse's hooves and the clatter of the stone road only made the Qing soldiers kneeling on the side of the road tremble.
The snowy Chasik cavalry knife was pointing ahead, and a group of hundreds of horsemen entered the inner city in dozens of seconds, and the cavalry holding the saber on the horse did not make any sound, except for the sound of the iron and stone colliding, the only sound on the street was the wheezing of the Don hippopotamus under the cavalry.
Whether this cavalry unit is the saber in their hands or the mount under the crotch, all represent the glory they have, the saber is captured, the war horse is also captured, when the horse enters the inner city, the leading cavalry legs between the horse's belly boot heel spurs make the war horse let out a stinging neigh, faster.
"Quick, protect the emperor and keep the queen mother's ......"
In the rapid sound of gunfire, Tie Liang, who waved his pistol and pulled the trigger on the side of the road, shouted loudly, and hundreds of standing officers and soldiers crouched on the ground or behind corpses, shooting at the bandits on the roadside, and on the walls of the Forbidden City, the Qing troops who smelled the gunshots also shot at the rebels on the side of the road.
"Quick, fast walk......"
Cixi in the car shouted loudly in horror, and King Qing's two daughters protected her with their bodies, but the handlebar style in front seemed to be unresponsive, and Cixi's hands, which were protected by two Gege's bodies, were touched forward, and her palms were only touching a wet and greasy, bloody mass! Blood from the handlebar.
The handlebars on several carriages were killed at the first moment, including the horses pulling the carts.
"Machine gun...... Machine gun...... The machine gun is there......"
Ye Gongliang, who was beaten by the Qing soldiers at the head of the city and couldn't raise his head, shouted loudly.
"Suppress enemy fire at the head of the wall!"
When he shouted loudly. I only vaguely saw a group of enemies poking their heads down and shooting guns on [***], only a few dozen meters away from them!
"Quick!"
Ye Gongliang shouted while picking up the submachine gun and swept at the Qinghou on the city! On the roof of a room more than 100 meters behind him, a tongue of fire suddenly appeared, and the heavy machine gun carried on the roof sprayed a foot-long tongue and fired at the [***] city tower, and the bullets that were originally swept off the city wall were suddenly weak.
"Zhang Zhiyue, carriage, hurry! Don't remember that they escaped! ……”
Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Gongliang, who threw away the submachine gun that was jammed, held a pistol in his hand, and forced two steps forward, saw more than a dozen Qing soldiers trying to cover someone from the carriage, and after shouting, several black shadows appeared on the side of the road.
"Look at the dots and learn from my ......"
Zhang Zhiyue shouted, holding the submachine gun in his arms, taking advantage of the enemy's shooting, he jumped out of the groove on the side of the road, and ran towards the carriage violently, almost sticking to the bullet every time towards the carriage.
The dozen or so people behind him followed his example, looked at the gap between the enemy's shots, and jumped out of the trough where the horses were fed one after another, and ran towards the carriages with big men in their arms, and the bullets flew over their heads and beside them, and occasionally some people fell...... When he saw the enemy in front of him, Zhang Zhiyue immediately picked up his submachine gun and fired, and the dozen or so Qing soldiers surrounding the carriage were immediately swept down in half, and just as he was about to rush to the side of the carriage, the submachine gun in his hand that was spitting flames suddenly became silent.
Zhang Zhiyue, who knew that he was stuck, wanted to pull out his pistol, but a bayonet had already sunk into his chest, and at the moment when he fell to the ground, Zhang Zhiyue thought that it was his submachine gun when he saw a frightened face...... Why ...... "Ah......hh
The sound of gunfire in his ears, the bullets flying by his side, had already frightened Guangxu half of his frightened soul, and Guangxu, who was pale and drenched in cold sweat, not only screamed, but even shrank into Queen Yulon's arms, curled up in Yulon's arms, screaming loudly, and trembling all over.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Your Majesty......"
Although Yulon's face was also pale with fright, he used his body to protect Guangxu, patted him on the back and comforted him, the canopy of the carriage was shot out of more than a dozen guns, Yulon wanted to protect the emperor from the carriage, but his leg was painful. In the surrounding escort sounds, the screams from time to time only made Yulon's heart tighten, but the gunshots and screams almost didn't scare Guangxu's soul out, and even Yulon on the carriage could feel the dampness and heat on the mat, the emperor ...... Just then, Yulon heard the sound of horses' hooves, followed by an earth-shattering roar.
"Kill ......"
Brandishing a saber and rushing into the [***] front cavalry battalion, ignoring the bullets flying overhead, when the cavalry rode towards the group of enemy troops on the road, one of the cavalry rushed straight towards the bridge on the Yudai River, the eunuch behind the bridge looked at the rushing cavalry, and when he was about to close the city gate, the cavalry on horseback took the pistol with the gun shell from his waist, and the eunuch who was holding his shoulder towards the city gate hole and the Qing soldiers who were about to rush out of the city to escort him pulled the trigger one after another.
Compared with the submachine gun that may jam when shooting two or three cartridges, these cavalrymen who tore apart with the Russians outside the pass prefer this kind of MJ02 pistol with a wooden case, although the 16-round magazine is not much, but one bullet in the chamber is just enough, and after the 17 rounds are empty, the rest is hand-to-hand combat and saber waiting.
The moment the pistol hit, the Qing soldiers and eunuchs who did not flee in a hurry were already close in front of them, the sabre that flashed with cold light swung down the momentum, and the head of the Qing soldier who was about to flee was suddenly cut off in half, and a eunuch just raised his hand, but his hands were cut off by the saber, and when he was lying on the ground and howling, he was crushed by the hooves of the war horse.
After the cavalry rushed through the city gate, they did not rush directly into the palace, but ran around the front for a while, replaced the magazine for the pistol bullets, and reloaded it, and then rode their horses towards [***] again, and when they reined in their horses and drilled towards the gate of the upper city, the cavalrymen on the horses were cat-on, and the horses rushed along the stairs towards the head of the [***] city.
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, they saw that the cavalry actually rode towards the city, they just flashed their skills, the cavalry with pistols pulled the trigger towards the city, and the city head was only a few seconds away, and the next moment [***] there were bursts of screams and begging for mercy.
When the cavalry rushed to the city, without the help of the Forbidden City Wall and the [***] Shangqing soldiers, the resistance of the Qing army on Chang'an Street was attacked by the intelligence officers and cavalry on the side of the road, and suddenly collapsed, brandishing the gun and commanding the soldiers to protect Tie Liang's head has been cut off, under the roar of the cavalry, the Qing army surrounding the carriage threw down the gun, knelt on the ground, and looked at these rebels riding high-headed oceanic horses in horror, the cavalry on horseback still had killing intent on their faces, and when they knelt on the ground, a cavalry did not say a word, He took two steps directly, and at the same time a saber, a Qing soldier screamed, and then fell down holding his throat, this scene only made everyone's hearts tremble, and a few people waved their sabers, and they were about to kill.
"Stop!"
The officer on horseback shouted, and was about to kill all the cavalry of this group of people as in the past, and then he stopped, and the kneeling Yi Liang was a little rejuvenated, and he didn't mention that regret in his heart, if it was...... If...... The war horses surrounding Chang'an were panting, and the cavalry on the same horseback were also panting, and when they were panting, they were adjusting their breathing, and their originally red eyes were calming down a little.
On the battlefield, only the most cruel people can survive, but after cruelty, what is needed is to quickly adjust their emotions, otherwise they will not die on the battlefield, I am afraid that they will die in military law, and the lesson of blood has already taught this group of soldiers how to adjust their emotions.
"I'm my own person, the head of the Yanjing Intelligence Station of the Second Detective Section......"
When Ye Gongliang ran from the side of the road with his injured leg, when he shouted these words, the cavalry on the street took the initiative to make way for him, even if he didn't shout, just looking at the tricolor flag armband he wore on the sleeve of his left arm, he could guess his identity, and they entered the city to assist these people.
"Cixi, Guangxu, please get out of the car!"
The words that came out of Ye Gongliang's mouth only shocked the cavalrymen on horseback, and everyone looked at these people and these carriages with wide eyes.
"I don't get out of the car! I don't deserve to be the king of a fallen country......"
There was a sad cry from the carriage, followed by a woman's comforting voice, and just as the cavalrymen were smiling at this, there was a "bang" in the carriage, which only startled the people outside the carriage, and then someone in the carriage cried out.
"The Emperor's ......"
Emperor...... The princes and ministers who were originally kneeling listened to the cry of the queen in the carriage, and they all knelt around the carriage and cried loudly.
Lying in the arms of Queen Yulong, Guangxu who was bleeding from his chest, the face that was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, this will be even whiter, but at this time, his face was not the previous frightened white, but miserable, with a trace of relief on his pale face, Guangxu, who was exhaling like silk, did not look at Yulong who was crying, but looked at the curtain opened by the thief army and muttered.
"I ...... I...... I want to die for the ...... of the community."
One word, one sound, let the princes and ministers around the carriage cry and kowtow hard, and the "dong dong" sound when the forehead collided with the bluestone slab shook people's hearts, even the Qing soldiers who put down the gun before, this will also kowtow and cry loudly.
Cixi in the other carriage had no pain on her face, she looked incredible, she never thought that the emperor, who would shrink into her arms with thunder and did not dare to come out, had the courage to die at this time.
The two daughters of King Qing, who were crying, only cried when they saw the expression of the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, Imperial ...... The Emperor ......"
"Get out of the car!"
Cixi, who was about to get out of the car, did not forget to look back at the two girls who were crying and crying when she was about to get out of the car.
"Don't cry, don't lose the dignity of our Great Qing Kingdom!"
When the old woman like a peasant woman in the countryside got off the car, the cavalry on horseback were stunned, they didn't expect that this was the queen mother, the queen mother turned out to be like this, in their hearts, this old queen mother Cixi should be...... Ignoring their surprise, let alone ignoring Ye Gongliang, he took out a photo to compare whether this person was or not, the princes and ministers who were originally kneeling in front of the emperor's corpse carried out by the cavalry of the Guangfu Army hurriedly knelt in front of her when they saw the Queen Mother get out of the car.
"The Queen Mother's ......"
And Cixi also ignored them, she just looked at the corpse of Guangxu whose chest was stained red with blood with a complicated expression, she didn't know where he got the gun, and she didn't know how much courage he put in when he was dying, but Cixi knew that she had promised to be strong all her life, and in the past few decades, she had never looked at this successor son, the cowardly emperor who supported her with one hand, but she knew that at least in this meeting, she didn't have the courage, thinking that Cixi's tears flowed out, and Cixi walked to the side of Guangxu's corpse, holding Guangxu's corpse.
"The Emperor's ......"
Tears flowed down Cixi's old face, and when she held Guangxu's corpse, she seemed to have returned to the day when she carried the 4-year-old him into the palace in Huaiyinzhai, the residence of the King of Taiping Lake, and remembered the child who shrank into her arms when she was a child when she thundered.
When Cixi hugged Guangxu's corpse and cried bitterly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the other end of Chang'an Street, and a group of Beiyang officers and soldiers wearing Tibetan blue military uniforms and entering the inner city from Dong'an Gate appeared on Chang'an Street.
Jia Chen Nian, Xin Weiyue, Xin Hai said, just after ten o'clock late, Chen Moran, who was about to get up and go out of the house to the suburbs, stopped when he walked out of the study, it seemed that there was something else! Thinking so in his heart, Chen Moran looked back at the study, the electric light was on in the study, and there were documents in the neatly distributed file basket on the table, and the unprocessed file basket was empty, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.
Today's night in Nanjing, there are some dark clouds in the sky, and outside the window is a dark abyss, there is no half starlight, Chen Moran, who is a little uncertain in his heart, walked to the desk again, and then sat there, at this time he was a little restless in his heart. Just over a few hours ago, he experienced the angriest moment of his life.
Three...... It must have been four hours ago, several of the councilors of the Ruling Axe Advisory Office, whom he had left for dinner, said at the dinner table that it sounded like a tactful admonition, and when it was bad, it interfered in their own family affairs.
"The ruling is to prosper the Han and raise troops, and the ruling is Han, but the lady is a British, and there are even opponents in the recent months, and Yu has lashed out at this in the newspaper!"
"If he says that the people referendum decides to take the ruling as the emperor and the ruling as the king, how can the people accept the son born to the British as the crown prince!"
"Foreigners have insulted me for decades, and taking foreigners as their wives is tantamount to making the world laugh!"
"Please think twice about governing for the sake of national affairs!"
"Ruling another dynasty is the king, and the ruling family affairs are no longer family affairs, but state affairs......"
Although he knew that their exhortation was for himself, Chen Moran knew that there was a conspiracy lurking behind this matter, and a group of people tried to use this method to induce those people to choose the republic in the name of the so-called "British people should not be the last", instead of saying "Take the foreigners as the back, and ...... For the save! Thinking of those two words, Chen Moran hated itchy.
Politics has always been ugly, but Chen Moran never thought of attacking his opponent's family, but they ...... I was evil in my heart, and my only remaining good feelings for those people disappeared.
"You provoked it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Thinking about the "evidence" that the Second Detective Bureau had "created" based on the intelligence he had already had, Chen Moran sneered in his heart, since they had provoked this invisible war, what he needed to do was to take this trick, perhaps...... Thinking to himself, Chen Moran took out a folder from the drawer of his desk, and then took out a few documents from it, and in the folder were some photos, which looked a bit like remade photos of documents, which were specially used by the computer to synthesize photos in order to deal with possible attacks a while ago.
The content is very simple, the content is the masterpiece of the Second Detective Bureau, and the only thing that is needed is to scan the document into the computer, and then move the signature in a certain document to the document, and a "secret" is thus generated, but since these documents have been made, Chen Moran has been hesitating, at least there is a little bit of morality, so that he is reluctant to make this indiscriminate trick, but now, ...... Closing her eyes, Chen Moran's mind came to mind Ji Li in London, although she was pregnant with Liujia, she worked tirelessly for this country, and won the support of the new regime from all walks of life in Britain, so that Britain could recognize China as soon as possible, but at this time, when she was running around for this country, here, there was a group of people who attacked her with three indiscriminate tricks for political purposes.
“……”
With a cold snort, Chen Moran twisted his brows, and some sneers appeared on his face.
"Do you really think my knife can't kill?"
He hummed in his heart, but Chen Moran still shook his head helplessly and sighed lightly, although this knife was fast, it was not obvious to kill his own people.
"Let's meet him again!"
Just when he was thinking so, there was a knock on the door first, and after Chen Moran said "come in", Yu Hongyu walked into the study.
"Ruling on, telegram from Yanjing!"
"Oh?"
Chen Moran raised his eyebrows, he knew that if it was the telegram brought by Yu Hongyu, it would definitely be good news, otherwise it should be the staff officer of the Military Staff Office who sent the telegram.
"Read!"
"On July 13, at 21:41, Qingliang, the guard of the Qing Gate, opened the city gate to dedicate the city, and the inner city of Beijing was restored,...... At 21:46, Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty committed suicide in the canopy of the carriage......"
"Guangxu is dead? Suicide? ”
This result really surprised Chen Moran, so much so that he couldn't speak for a long time, this ...... According to the intelligence of the Second Detective Section, Guangxu's surname is cowardly and timid, and his face is pale when he is frightened when he hears the thunder, and a person like this dares to commit suicide.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, in power, Guangxu committed suicide with a pistol to his chest in the canopy!"
"Pistols? Chest ......"
muttered again, Chen Moran still looked incredible, this person ...... Originally, I wanted to come to the trial of the century, but alas! Crying out in pity, Chen Moran remembered another person, another person who forced him to rebel.
"Is Cixi still alive?"
Compared with Guangxu, Chen Moran valued Cixi more, not only to judge her, but also to send her telegrams to Xi'an and Chengdu, ordering the two governors to give up resistance.
"Cixi did not commit suicide, and Commander Cai asked what should be done with Guangxu's body!"
This one...... (Okay, Guangxu has been cowardly all his life, let him be brave!) Cixi, how to deal with it? That's a problem! Hesitation, consideration...... Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a certain reading! )
(To be continued)
