Chapter 164: Plundering Tianjing
(Let's talk about the question about someone who proposed to see Cixi in the previous paragraph, don't keep talking about the photo of Cixi's 66-year-old, even if the movie star is 66, it doesn't necessarily look good!) The establishment of Manchuria in Australia is equivalent to the current backdoor listing, after a period of immigration, it is the imperial province of Manchuria, and then it is included in the imperial territory, otherwise it is easy to be boycotted by the European powers directly, and the British did not engage in a group of exiles to Canada and Australia to establish a state, although they failed, but the colonization of these two countries was stable! If the founding of the country in history had been established, Australia would not be a member of the British Commonwealth, but the territory of the Kingdom of Great Britain! This word count is no longer included in the chapter. Hong Xiuquan, who was sitting firmly in the newly built Golden Dragon Palace, looked at the nails that the new Wang Niang had trimmed for him, and then looked at Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan who were kneeling below, as the only spiritual pillar of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the moment, Hong Xiuquan's feeling has never been so good today, he felt very tired and unable to do anything after changing two Wang Niang in a row last night, in the past, he could change to five or six Wang Niang in one night, but now even if he eats the Dragon Tiger Pill, he will not see any miracles.
At that time, Yang Xiuqing, the 9,000-year-old king of the east, took over the power of the heavenly kingdom, from the appointment of civil and military generals, to the weapons, grain, grass and people's livelihood were all under Yang Xiuqing's control, and he, the king of heaven, could only vent his inexhaustible energy on women, and now Yang Xiuqing is dead, and the old brothers who have followed him for many years have also died under the conspiracy planned by him personally.
He finally got back the power he dreamed of, but he also became a loner, and now he finally knows why Yang Xiuqing's princess is even more than Shi Dakai among several princes, because Yang Xiuqing is powerless to take care of the heavy affairs, and now he is also facing this problem, the huge kingdom of heaven seems to be steaming on the surface, but in fact it has long been full of holes.
If it weren't for him taking over from Yang Xiuqing, he would even think that someone was deliberately sabotaging and concealing him, and his Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would be like this?
Looking at the two incompetent people kneeling below, Hong Xiuquan took a deep breath and said: "Don't kneel, even if you kneel the stone slab to pieces, I'm afraid you won't be able to kneel down to a result, get up!" Whether it's a Westerner or a Chinese Empire! Isn't it all like that? Go and talk about it yourselves! ”
Hong Xiuquan left Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan an inexplicable answer, let them talk! That's all, there is no more sentence, how to talk about it, where is the bottom line? Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan didn't know anything, and the feeling of the Heavenly King seemed to have a very deep estrangement to them?
How did Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan know that just when their second monk couldn't scratch his head, Hong Xiuquan's secret envoys had already gone to various places, asking all the armies to select elite soldiers and strong generals to return to the aid of King Qin of Tianjing, and kill the rebellious ministers and thieves who caused chaos in the heavenly kingdom.
The next day, he sat back at the negotiating table with Zhang Yunji, Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan were no longer so high-spirited, Zhang Yunji gave them the feeling of being like an old fox, trying to deceive the chicken from the old fox's mouth, obviously the two of them were still too tender, and after a few fights, they were abducted into the pit by Zhang Yunji.
Zhang Yunji looked at Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan with a smile and said, "Please withdraw all the personnel of the two generals, what I want to say below is related to the vital interests of the two of you, and I believe that you will not like to be present." ”
Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan were slightly stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, Qin Tianqiong waved his hand to everyone on the side and said, "Let's all go down!" ”
After the personnel withdrew, Qin Tianqiong stretched out his hand to Zhang Yunji and said, "Your envoy, please speak!" What is at stake in us? ”
Zhang Yunji took out a letter and shook it and said: "Our secret agent inadvertently intercepted a secret letter, the content of the secret letter shocked us very much, through yesterday's contact I personally think that the two are quite good friends, so I decided to help the two of you!" ”
Qin Tianqiong glanced at the fake Zhang Yunji, and said in his heart: "I don't know that turtle king bastard said yesterday that it was impossible to be friends?" How did you become friends after one night? ”
Zhao Fan was still slightly uncomfortable with the word friend, and was waiting for Zhang Yunji's next words like Qin Tianqiong, but Zhang Yunji didn't say anything, and handed the letter to the two of them.
The dark cowhide head, with fire paint hot seal a semi-circular symbol, this symbol Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan are too familiar, this is the unique seal of the Heavenly King, and this secret letter is written with sheepskin and specially prepared potion, only the recipient's hand has the corresponding password, the password can be used to use the corresponding potion to develop, even if ordinary people get it, I am afraid it is useless.
If it was someone else, even if it fell into the hands of the Qing Demon, this letter would be useless, but there happened to be such a set of passwords and medicinal powder in Zhao Fan's hands, and they got it when they raided the Dongwang Mansion at that time, and they didn't send any big use originally, Zhao Fan just saw that this set of utensils was too exquisite and was reluctant to discard it, and he never expected that it could be used.
Zhao Fan hurriedly sent his henchmen back to fetch things for himself, and then smiled at Zhang Yunji very reluctantly!
Zhang Yunji Since the intelligence team ambushed several messengers yesterday and obtained such a well-concealed secret letter, Zhang Yunji felt that the origin of this secret letter was not simple, considering that although the current situation of the Tianjing Rebellion has been stabilized, the generals of the Zhulu army outside the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have regarded that group of rebels and thieves who committed rebellion and wantonly slaughtered important ministers in the court as a thorn in the flesh.
According to the analysis of Zhang Yunji and the accompanying intelligence headquarters and staff headquarters, it is very likely that Hong Xiuquan will make a move at this time to abandon his pawn and protect the commander, and kill all the young rebels who he instigated and are eager to ascend to the throne, only in this way can Hong Xiuquan make a reasonable and satisfactory explanation to the entire Tianping Heavenly Kingdom.
And at this so-called critical juncture, Hong Xiuquan has no intention of negotiating, and he doesn't seem to be sincere? It is obvious that he is absent-mindedly perfunctory, in other words, Hong Xiuquan is actually the person who can see it best, he realized the significance of Fu Shanxiang to the Chinese Empire, so he launched two mortal people to deal with the Chinese Empire, even if the two sides reached an agreement, after the completion of the transaction, Hong Xiuquan could wipe his mouth and refuse to admit it, and shift all the responsibility to the two dead people Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan.
And Hong Xiuquan can openly and openly use Fu Shanxiang to make new demands on the Chinese Empire?
Zhang Yunji felt that his reasoning was more consistent with the analysis of the General Staff Headquarters, and was also supplemented by the intelligence department's intelligence to corroborate each other, and with the addition of more than a dozen secret envoys who left for various places almost at the same time, Zhang Yunji concluded that this so-called secret letter was probably the life-saving talisman of Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan and others.
Zhang Yunji wanted to decrypt the secret letter before, so that he would be more sure to shake Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan, but the intelligence department concluded that there was no matching known agent, and the chance of wanting to decipher this kind of secret letter was almost less than or equal to zero.
Zhang Yunji believes that as long as Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan are not pigheads, they must have some scruples about their situation, Zhang Yunji has very high expectations for this secret letter, because when intercepting these messengers, the action team of the Ministry of Intelligence still suffered casualties in the case of ambush, which shows that these messengers are extremely loyal and dare to die, and they still raise their guns to fight back after being shot several times, and this just shows the important surname of these secret letters.
Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan saw that their side's important secret letter was intercepted, but they didn't get angry, but wanted to avoid their own people to interpret it in front of the enemy's opponent, Zhang Yunji knew that he had won this time, and instigated the other party's negotiator at the negotiation table? Zhang Yunji suddenly felt that Lin Haijiang's mouth often hung on the 'You are so talented!' That's what he said, Zhang Yunji.
After a while, Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan got the secret box, and when they were mixing the potion, they also accidentally knocked over the water cup, Qin Tianqiong's hand was cut and the blood flowed unnoticed.
After a while, the handwriting on the originally slightly yellowed sheepskin really appeared, Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan almost couldn't stand after reading it, and staggered to the chair, even Qin Tianqiong, who has always been calm, is also a master of the six gods, Zhang Yunji knows that few people can calmly face the naked betrayal.
It can be said that Hong Xiuquan had great prestige and influence among these young people before, otherwise no one would be willing to risk his head being chopped into meat and fighting in absolute adversity to kill the rebel minister Yang Xiuqing and others for the king, but the previous loyal and righteous people have become the chaotic ministers and thieves in the mouth of today's king? Everyone in the world is punished? And all of this was planned and implemented by their most trusted Heavenly King? Did they become scapegoats?
Zhao Fan squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and cried quietly, Qin Tianqiong quickly calmed down, Qin Tianqiong dragged Zhao Fan and said: "Now that the matter is clear, the dispute between you and me has made the Heavenly King naturally take away the entire Tianjing's soldiers and horses, and now I am afraid that the Heavenly King will have to wait for the army of King Qin to arrive in the city, which is when you and I will fall to the ground!" ”
"What to do? I still have 800 people to work with! Zhao Fan looked at Qin Tianqiong!
After a while, Qin Tianqiong turned his gaze to Zhang Yunji and said, "Let's just don't do dark things, let's talk about your conditions!" Our brother has fallen to this place, no, there is no chance of choice, but please don't push people too much, otherwise it will be a big deal and you will not be able to achieve your goal! ”
Zhang Yunji smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple, cooperate with the assault battalion of the Marine Corps to attack Tianjing to rescue Fu Shanxiang, and then give each of you 300,000 taels of silver, so that you can be rich incognito?" ”
Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan looked at each other the same, the world is in chaos right now, if you have silver, you can buy guys, you can recruit people, you can pull up a team, and you can gather in the mountains and forests to be happy.
Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan exchanged glances and nodded, and then Qin Tianqiong used the secret talk as an excuse, except for leaving reliable henchmen, the rest of the people all rushed out of the meeting site, the surname of the first unofficial formal negotiation between the Chinese Empire and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has completely changed, and it was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that was ready to use Fu Shanxiang in their hands to knock a loud bamboo pole on the Chinese Empire's side.
To everyone's surprise, Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan, the negotiators of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, were now studying the defense of Tianjing City together with Zhang Yunji, the envoy of the Chinese Empire.
In order to distract the attention of the defenders of Tianjing, Lu Wei proposed to use all five Marine battalions belonging to the newly formed 7th Brigade of the Marine Corps to fight at the same time, a military police search company was responsible for rescuing Fu Shanxiang, the 1st Marine Battalion was responsible for the strategic Yanziji Battery, the 2nd Marine Battalion was responsible for the surprise attack on Tianjing, the 3rd Marine Battalion was responsible for attacking the Red Mansion, and the 4th Marine Battalion was responsible for occupying the south gate of the retreat. The fifth battalion is the response force, and the military police search company.
Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan looked at each other, Qin Tianqiong hesitated a little and said: "Actually, we can save Fu Shanxiang without making a sound, will it be worth the loss to engage in such a big formation?" Even a threat to the rescue plan? ”
Zhao Fan nodded on the side and said: "Yanziji Fort is very lax now, and the original men and horses have been transferred many times to go to eight or nine of them, but there are at least two thousand guards in this place of the Inner Library, and it is the lifeblood of the Heavenly Kingdom!" The copper coins, silver ingots, gold nakedness, etc., which were raised by Yang Xiuqing in the east before, were all hoarded there and have not yet been counted, you must know that they are the income of the rich families in the south of the Yangtze River! If there is more, there are 20 million taels! ”
Qin Tianqiong pointed to the Red Mansion and said: "This is also a hornet's nest, the antique calligraphy and paintings that copied the North Jelly and the East Jelly a while ago and cleaned up those Hou Mansion were all concentrated in Jing Si Xuan, the Red Mansion is just another name for Jing Si Xuan, almost all the treasures of the Heavenly King are collected there, there is only two streets away from the Golden Dragon Hall of the Heavenly King's Mansion, once there is something in the Heavenly King's Mansion, the six thousand knife players can be dispatched immediately, and after half an hour, the rest of the eight thousand knife players and foreign gun teams can also be dispatched." ”
Zhao Fan helplessly pointed to the inner library and Jing Sixuan and said: "These two places are both prosperous and downtown places, there are many private houses, and they are not far apart, only Jingde Bridge is the only access road in the middle, if the bridge is blocked, then no matter how many people are inside, it must be a turtle in the urn." ”
After Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan said something, they thought that the other party would definitely retreat, but Jia Wuji and Lu Wei continued to study their battle plan with expressionless faces, as if the words of the two of them before were nonsense.
Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan reluctantly set their eyes on Zhang Yunji, and Zhang Yunji smiled slightly: "Let's drink some tea!" This dancing knife and gun is their soldier's business, let's ignore it and leave it to them, after all, there is a specialization in art! ”
Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan nodded, they knew very well that they were still regarded as the master of the game here, but the audacity of this group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals of the Chinese Empire also opened their eyes, from the perspective of Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan, this group of people was clearly a group of crazy people.
Looking at the more and more detailed battle plans and cooperation plans, Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan suddenly realized that they had been engaged for a long time, and they were ready to do it for a long time?
Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan were suddenly shocked in their hearts, they had long heard that Lin Haijiang, the head of the Chinese Empire, was a well-known guy who did not accept heaven and earth, but they didn't expect that who would bring what soldiers, 60,000 troops inside and outside Tianjing City, and more than 5,000 of them would make trouble in the Heavenly Palace? If they really make it happen, the kingdom of heaven will be really drawn from the bottom of the kettle, and what the kingdom of heaven lacks most at the moment is money.
Looking at the plan designated by the other party, Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan could only say that these people were all crazy, and the two of them were forced to mix with a group of madmen in desperation.
In order to paralyze Hong Xiuquan, Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan brought back a preliminary agreement drawn up by the Chinese Empire on a large number of military supplies, including 10,000 rifles, 8 million rounds of ammunition, 100 artillery pieces of various calibers, and 2 warships.
Sure enough, Hong Xiuquan was very happy, and immediately asked Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan to make persistent efforts, and Hong Xiuquan was drunk that night and stayed in the Golden Dragon Palace.
Late at night, Lu Wei, who had taken over the south gate of Tianjing, ordered the soldiers beside him to quickly move the corpse away, and the main force began to deploy defenses up and down the city wall, dozens of six-pound and twelve-pound field guns were also erected, Qin Tianqiong stood beside Lu Wei and nervously looked at the Chinese Imperial Marines who followed behind his subordinates.
Qin Tianqiong didn't expect that during the interval when he attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers defending the city, the members of the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps who painted their faces black with knives, axes, crossbows, and more than 100 Taiping soldiers guarding the city gate were killed, just in case, even the 800 people in the hidden soldier cave outside a nearby street corner were also killed in a deep sleep.
A thousand people killed more than nine hundred? Qin Tianqiong has never seen such a clean and neat method, these people kill people as if it is commonplace, Qin Tianqiong is also the master of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, but today he is the first time to experience such a bloody massacre, those veterans of the Heavenly Kingdom who have been in battle for a long time are like chickens and ducks are easily slaughtered in the hidden soldier cave, and the hidden soldier caves divided into inner rooms can be said to be a great help to the attackers, and they can clean up the caves one by one calmly.
Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan did not follow their henchmen to act together, because whether it was the superintendent of the inner library or Jing Sixuan, these two places could only be attacked, where was the identity of their marquis, and only the hand of the Heavenly King could open the treasury and enter, so Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan could be said to be the same as if they were going or not going, but fortunately, no one paid attention to this aspect of the Chinese Empire, so the two stayed at the south gate.
In the darkness, more than 300 carriages and carts in the hands of 2,000 armed sailors had already begun to quietly assemble and march towards the target area in the city, Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan looked at the carriages and carts that kept coming out of the night, and the huge city gate was like a monster's bloody mouth! The two invariably fought a cold war.
During the long wait, Lu Wei gave Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan a cigar cigarette each, looking at the two people who were choking on cigarettes, Lu Wei felt a little worthless for his cigar, and there was a feeling of a pearl secretly casting.
Suddenly, a muffled gunshot pierced the silent night, and the light of the crescent moon in the night sky was like fireflies. Lu Wei muttered, and then a dense burst of gunfire rang out in Tianjing City, and a red signal flare rose into the air.
Lu Wei hurriedly commanded the artillery unit and fired the correction shell, and then the calculation team at the head of the city immediately reported the shooting Zhuyuan, and after completing the test firing and loading, Lu Wei waved his hand and said: "A base rapid fire!" ”
The garrison camp of the Governor Neku resounded with the undulating flames of explosions, and the earth trembled violently with the whistling cannonballs!
As soon as the Marines had established a defensive line, they joined the convoy and began to rush everything they thought was valuable.
