Chapter 544: Seize the Nine Gates (Medium)

Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Anding Gate, Desheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate are the nine city gates of the inner city of Beijing during the Qing Dynasty. In the city of Beijing in the current era, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was surrounded by the entire Han people, so he was very distrustful of the Han people, and he was afraid of the Han rebellion at any time. Therefore, they also made all the guards in the palace filled by Manchus, and the Han people in the inner city of Beijing were also driven out of the outer city, and all of them were inhabited by Manchus. This was to be able to effectively protect the Manchu imperial family and let the Eight Banners defend the emperor.

And this inner city has nine gates, that is, the nine gates above. And the person who commands the defense of the nine city gates, the official position is the commander of the five battalions of the patrol of the Nine Gate Infantry Army, referred to as the commander of the infantry army or the commander of the Nine Gates. The power of the Admiral of the Nine Gates is very huge, equivalent to the commander of the Beijing Garrison and the director of the Public Security Bureau in later generations. The Admiral of Jiumen had a total of 30,000 Manchu and Han troops under his command, and he was a first-class and powerful faction. In many palace dramas about the Qing Dynasty, the Admiral of Jiumen is always an important official position.

Because of the mastery of the Nine Gate Admirals, it is almost the largest armed force in the capital, which is very useful in the palace coup. Especially the kind of prince who seizes the throne, the most important thing is to master the Nine Gates, as long as he masters the Nine Gates, he will not be afraid of any accidents. Even a coup d'Γ©tat is very easy, and it can stop the army that reaches Beijing from outside, and when the head of the city inside Beijing changes the banner of the king, then those outside troops can only bow down and say nothing else.

However, at present, the Xuanwu Gate in the inner city of Beijing has also ushered in an army.

"Let's let me come." The Good Gang is at the forefront.

And behind the good gang, there is a group of people walking in a neat queue. They were dressed in white flags, and their waists were bulging, apparently not knowing what was put there. But when they walked to the front, they were touching their waists at all times, as if these soldiers with white flags had back pain.

"Fortunately, this Manchu government is big enough, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to put weapons inside!" Yang Wanchun said.

And Shanbang immediately whispered: "Master Yang." Then you will be able to get in when the time comes. ”

"Very good, if you succeed at that time, I can ask Lord Wang to reward you with an official at that time!" Yang Wanchun said.

"Ah, thank you Yang Ye!" Shanbang said.

When everyone came outside the Xuanwu Gate, then Shan went up first to speak.

"You come down for me, the superiors ordered, our people with white flags should come over to take over the defense of Xuanwumen." Shanbang said.

"Who are you?" The Eight Banners general stationed at the Xuanwu Gate asked.

"You're blue-flagged, aren't you? I am the white flag of Niu Lu Zuo Lingshan Gang, and I came to take over Xuanwumen. Get out of here. Otherwise, we're welcome! Shanbang said.

But the general with the blue flag immediately asked: "Isn't your defense area with the white flag at Chaoyangmen?" How could the higher authorities order us to come to Xuanwumen to take over? ”

"Don't worry about so much, get out of here!" Shanbang said.

"Alright, you give us your paperwork, and we'll check the orders from above!" The general with the blue flag said.

This inspection order, this is inevitable, so this request is not excessive. So the Good Gang also took out the forged order of the Beijing Office to show him.

"Okay, it's the order of Lord Ronglu, the commander of the Nine Gates, then we will obey it!" The blue flag general above said.

Just when everyone is preparing for a "change of guard". At this time, suddenly someone in the inner city came out with a big flag, and the general with the blue flag immediately said, "Lord Ronglu is here?" ”

The big flag in the distance. That is, the banner of Rong Lu, the commander of the Nine Gates, indicating that Rong Lu came to inspect Xuanwu Gate.

"Lord Ronglu is here!" The general with the blue flag said.

"What? Rong Lu is here? Shanbang was immediately surprised.

"What? Rong Lu actually came to Xuanwumen to inspect at this time, what a ghost! A special forces staff officer said.

"Calm down, don't act rashly, be careful!" Yang Wanchun said.

Yang Wanchun has more than 100 people here, and he is the army responsible for attacking Xuanwumen. The other 900 people were assigned to the nine gates of the inner city. Responsible for sneak attacks or deception of the nine gates. Originally, everything was going very smoothly, but at this time, Rong Lu actually went to Xuanwumen to inspect, which was simply unfortunate!

"I've seen Lord Ronglu!" The blue-flaged general above the Xuanwu Gate said.

"Excuse me!" Rong Lu said.

Rong Lu continued: "Now that the imperial court is preparing to move the capital, it is inevitable that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble. As the guards of the Xuanwu Gate, you naturally have to guard the capital. Otherwise, if we let the thieves mess around, then our capital will be in trouble. Therefore, you must guard the Xuanwu Gate in the capital with the blue flag! ”

"Lord Ronglu, didn't you just order a change of guard and let Lord Baiqi be in charge of guarding the Xuanwu Gate?" The blue-flag general asked.

"What? I ordered it? Rong Lu asked in shock.

"That's right! This is a document sent by the white flag Niu Lu Zuo Lingshan Gang outside the door, and there is your signature on it! The blue-flag general asked.

Rong Lu looked at the document and immediately frowned, but he didn't move, he looked at the soldiers with white flags who were preparing to change their guards.

"When did we Eight Banners have such spirits?" Rong Lu was surprised.

These "white-flaged" soldiers don't seem to be right, it's not that they're too bad, it's that they're too good. These people are full of fierce temperament, which is obviously not ordinary. If you want to talk about bearing, it is much stronger than the real Eight Banners. If it was the Eight Banners more than a hundred years ago, there might have been this kind of bearing, but the Eight Banners of this era had this kind of bearing, then there would be a problem.

"Click......"

The Xuanwu Gate was opened, and then Rong Lu came out. Rong Lu looked at the servile-looking good gang, and then he came to the soldiers with "white flags".

"You are the ones with the white flag? What is your job title? Rong Lu asked.

"Xiao Riding School!" Yang Wanchun replied.

Xiao Riding School is the official position of a subordinate of Niu Lu in the Eight Banners, which is the sixth grade.

"You trained all these soldiers?" Rong Lu asked.

Rong Lu didn't notice that those soldiers had guns in their hands, so he was still a little hesitant, not knowing if these people were real or fake.

"Yes, I've always wanted to be able to kill the enemy and serve the country, so I'm training hard!" Yang Wanchun said.

"Who gave you the order to take over the Xuanwu Sect?" Rong Lu asked.

"I don't know, it's a person who claims to be your own soldier. However, seeing that Lord Ronglu is actually here, then that order is fake? Yang Wanchun said solemnly.

Rong Lu thought for a while and said, "It's fake!" ”

"What? Oh no, I'm going back soon, maybe our nest has already been taken away! We've fallen for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain. Yang Wanchun said "surprised".

Yang Wanchun immediately took the troops to leave, and Rong Lu also frowned, he didn't know whether this guy was real or fake.

"Who are your commanders, and who are your leaders?" Rong Lu asked.

"Lord Ronglu, we are all ......" Shanbang wanted to help answer.

"I don't want you to say it, you come to it!" Rong Lu first refused to help Shanbang answer, and then pointed at Yang Wanchun and said.

Yang Wanchun held the pistol tightly in his pocket, then put his hands behind his back and began to stretch out his fingers.

Without saying a word, he stretched out five fingers with one hand, and then immediately became four. This is their usual countdown method, once the hands become fists, it is a signal to start acting.

"Three, two, one" The people of the special combat team began to count seconds in their hearts.

"Action!" Yang Wanchun immediately shouted.

"Don't move, I'll kill you if you move again!" Yang Wanchun took out a pistol and shouted at Rong Lu.

"You're a fake! It's ridiculous that I just had a fluke, how I hope you are the real Eight Banners, then I must reuse you, it would be good if our Eight Banners had such an elite. Rong Lu suddenly smiled bitterly.

When the blue-flaged general above the Xuanwu Gate saw this scene, he immediately shouted: "Go and save Lord Ronglu!" ”

Soon, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Xuanwumen rushed out one after another, apparently hoping to save Rong Lu.

"Idiot! Hurry up and close the door and leave me alone! Rong Lu shouted.

However, Rong Lu's words were too late, and Yang Wanchun immediately started to act.

"Call me!" Yang Wanchun shouted.

"Da Da Da ......"

More than 100 people with automatic rifles opened fire, and dozens of Eight Banners soldiers who rushed out were also killed.

"Don't let them close now!" Yang Wanchun shouted.

"Yes!"

"Boom ......"

Several grenades began to be thrown into the city gates, and these special forces had undergone special and strict training, and the grenades were thrown far and accurately, directly through the cracks in the doors that had not been opened much. And the soldiers of the Eight Banners who were responsible for closing the door inside were suddenly blown away by more than a dozen.

"Rush in and grab the gates." Yang Wanchun shouted.

"Yes!"

Soon, more than 100 people rushed in with automatic rifles to cover alternately, and those Eight Banners soldiers were already useless, and they all surrendered immediately in the face of these firearms.

"We have occupied the Xuanwu Gate, but I don't know what happened to the other city gates?" Yang Wanchun thought.

However, compared to the Xuanwu Gate, the other city gates may not be so lucky, and many soldiers of the Eight Banners in other city gates were deceived by the fake order, and then when they knew that the order was fake, they would come back immediately. However, he was beaten by the special forces who had been prepared for a long time.

In this way, all eight gates of Beijing's inner city were also occupied. (To be continued......)
