Chapter 164: Scare Prince Gong away
Although Li Yongji used radio technology to give strategic instructions to his rear, he himself knew very well that this was what he could do at present. As for how Zhang Wei, who was appointed commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Theater, fought and what he fought, he couldn't interfere more now, the reason was very simple, just four words, the whip is beyond the reach!
In this era when there were no trains in China, it was impossible for Li Yongji to return with his troops within half a month, whether he was riding a horse, riding a bicycle, or taking a boat by sea, and he could not really control such a large-scale battle of hundreds of thousands of people as fully as playing a game.
So for now, the only thing Li Yongji can do is to do a good job in front of him and take Tianjin smoothly!
It was under these circumstances that the Battle of Tianjin began ahead of schedule.
Originally, Li Yongji still had the last trace of luck, hoping to keep this ancient city of Tianjin, and when the soldiers approached the city, he once again persuaded the defenders of Tianjin to surrender and promised to treat the prisoners preferentially, but unfortunately, it was the cannon roaring at the head of the city that greeted the envoy of persuasion.
This made Li Yongji realize that the will of the Tianjin defenders was quite resolute, and I was afraid that if they did not attack, they would not be able to take it.
Helpless, Li Yongji could only launch a strong attack, and his approach was still a copy of the Jinan Campaign, that is, to concentrate troops, make a breakthrough, and not engage in the trick of encircling three and missing one.
The reason is very simple, Tianjin is not Jinan, this is the gateway to Beijing, and because of the fight against foreigners, many times to strengthen the defense, not only the city wall is higher and thicker, there are many strong forts, although the performance of the artillery on it is not as good as the elite army, but the number is terrifying.
Moreover, the defenders of Tianjin had rich combat experience and a large number. Just the Eight Banners, the Green Battalion and the regiment training, there are more than 80,000 people, plus the people who are forcibly pulled, there are more than 100,000, and these soldiers and horses are much stronger than Jinan's Shengbao Department.
However, although there were many batteries in Tianjin, they were scattered all over the place, and the artillery was not easy to operate, so if you concentrated the attack, the threat would be minimal.
Other than that. The elite army occupies an absolute firepower advantage, and in this case, concentrating only the forces outside one city gate can allow the opponent to gather more defenders in this direction, which is just convenient for their heavy firepower to carry out large-scale killing.
At the beginning, as usual, there was a concentrated roar of ultralight 155-mm howitzers in order to destroy the enemy's walls first.
This time, due to the thicker walls of Tianjin City, there are more gate towers. Li Yongji took out 12 cannons at one time, and one guy bombed continuously for more than half an hour, until the entire vicinity of Tianjin's South City Gate collapsed and collapsed, and there was no longer a living person in the telescope. Only then was the order to stop the shelling.
Then, as in the Battle of Jinan, the elite infantry team stepped forward to continue to suppress the firepower, and the follow-up assault troops began to drop kayaks in the moat. Carry out a forcible assault.
However, just when Li Yongji thought that the Battle of Tianjin would be the same as the Battle of Jinan, and perhaps even greater losses. But suddenly found a white flag rising in the ruins, and then, in the telescope, I saw a middle-aged man with a general appearance, holding a white flag high and crawling out of the ruins, and then kept shaking the white flag.
"What is this?" After being stunned for a while, Li Yongji finally understood that they had surrendered!
Fearing that the other party was surrendering fraudulently, Li Yongji ignored it and continued to let the assault team cross the river as usual, but at this moment, the other gates of Tianjin City opened the city gates one after another, and then a large number of Qing troops marched out of the city without weapons and raised their hands, and the meaning of surrender could not be more obvious.
At this point, Li Yongji really believed in the fact that the defenders of Tianjin had surrendered.
Despite this, Li Yongji was still very careful, and only breathed a sigh of relief after sending people to watch the surrendered Qing army, and then sending troops into Tianjin City in turn, and controlling the various city gates and commanding heights, but he still did not enter the city rashly, but went to the East City Gate surrounded by his own soldiers, and met with a group of Tianjin officials who surrendered at the East City Gate.
Hengfu, the governor of Tianjin, Chonghou, the minister of the Qincha, Mu Yin, the secretary of the military department, and so on, all wore a full set of brand-new official uniforms at this time, and then prostrate at Li Yongji's feet in a regular manner, not even daring to raise his head, looking completely surrendered, and he didn't look like an important minister at all.
On the contrary, it was the Tianjin Town guerrilla Zuo Guigui who was still hanging his arms in the back, and he still had a little backbone, although he also knelt on the side and did not speak, but he did not completely prostrate on the ground, plus his name made Li Yongji a little impressed, knowing that he was a celebrity in another time and space, so it was still a little pleasing to the eye.
Speaking of which, it is also a mistake that this Zuo precious can appear here.
This Zuo Gui was originally from Fei County, because his family was poor and his parents died early, he made a living as a leathermaker on the street.
Later, because of the wounded sewing boots and refused to give money to the officers and soldiers, he had no choice but to take his two younger brothers to the Jiangnan camp in Hechun.
Because of his bravery, Zuo Guigui was taken by Fu Ming'a and promoted him to be Fu Ming'a's personal soldier.
Later, Fu Ming'a was transferred back to the capital, and Zuo Guigui also returned to Beijing, but he also escaped the defeat of the Jiangnan camp.
After that, Emperor Xianfeng went out of Beijing and went to Chengde for refuge. and Fu Ming'a and others were in charge, in order to control Tianjin, they sent a team of soldiers and horses, and Zuo Guigui was this guerrilla general similar to the soldiers and horses of the supervising army.
However, when he heard that even the Russian soldiers were surrounded and annihilated by the Jingwu army, Zuo Guigui did not have confidence in the defense of Tianjin, but the commander of Zhili was bent on defense, and he couldn't say anything.
When the elite soldiers came to the city, he was one of the guards who defended the east gate, and Li Yongji came to the east gate first to meet the surrendering officials, so he was fortunate to kneel down with him to greet him.
In fact, of course this is not the case, even if he is the guard of the East City Gate, but the official position is too small, it is said that he is not qualified to come to greet him, it is really Li Yongji who happened to hear his name after coming over, and then this name attracted Li Yongji's attention, so he specially asked him to come over to see what this person looked like.
At first sight, there is nothing special, because Zuo Guigui is still very young at this time, his knowledge is not high, and the mind of any country and nation is not heavy, it can only be said that he is very stocky, and I heard that he is also very honest and can fight.
At last. Li Yongji was also impatient with the flattery that those Manchu Qing ministers said to him, waved his hand and asked people to take them down, but instead asked Zuo Guigui about the reason for the matter, and wanted to ask why the defenders of Tianjin had sworn not to surrender a while ago, but they were busy running out and surrendering without firing a few shots.
It turned out that as early as after Li Yongji led his troops to annihilate the Russian intervention army in Zhangjiatun, the ministers of Tianjin panicked and unanimously believed that Tianjin could not be defended, and the voice of surrender began to dominate.
However, at this very time, the Manchu officials were all thinking about surrendering. Shi Rongchun, the commander of Zhili, who was supposed to be injured and killed in the second battle of Dagukou, an authentic Han general, did not agree to it, and had to fight to the death!
Shi Rongchun was actually the real commander of the Dagukou defense battle, and the prestige of the defenders in Tianjin was unparalleled.
Originally, Shi Rongchun was not unaware of the current situation, even if he could hold Tianjin. The Great Qing Kingdom is estimated to be finished, but the idea of loyalty to the monarch that permeates his bones still makes him decide to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
In this way, he did his best to arrange the defense of the city. He was waiting for a battle to the death with the Jingwu army, and after the Jingwu army came to the city of Tianjin and gathered outside the south gate, he also personally sat at the south gate to boost morale. An attitude of vowing to live and die with Tianjin.
However, the artillery bombardment of Nancheng by the Jingwu army destroyed all of them. Because the shelling was so fierce, the Admiral Shi Rongchun, who came to supervise the battle, was also killed.
Shi Rongchun's death doesn't matter, the Tianjin defenders no longer have the backbone, and the scene of the bombardment of the city is too shocking, so the defenders of the city gates, who have long been unwilling to defend, simply opened the city gates and surrendered.
Therefore, the battle of Tianjin has a lot of luck in it, if Shi Rongchun was not killed in the previous shelling, then with his prestige and stubbornness, I am afraid that the Jingwu army will really have to pay a lot of casualties to capture this Tianjin city.
Because Zuo Guigui said that Shi Rongchun had already made arrangements, that is, if he couldn't hold the city wall, he would fight a street battle with the Jingwu Army in the city, for example, he Zuo Guigui was one of the soldiers and horses who were ready to fight in the street battle, if that was the case, the Jingwu Army would definitely lose a lot.
Fortunately, Shi Rongchun, who should have died early, was blown up here in advance, otherwise, Li Yongji might really have a headache.
After Tianjin, the door to Beijing was opened, which made Prince Gong Yi, who got the news? His face turned pale.
"For today's plan, there is only one word." See Yi? Without speaking, Fu Ming'a, who was called to Prince Gong's mansion to discuss countermeasures, spoke first, "Although we have raised a lot of money and recruited a lot of people recently, with all due respect, the time is too short, and we can't stop the elite army at all. β
From Fu Ming's tone, you can see the change in the mentality of these people, you must know that these people originally called the Jingwu Army to be short-haired, but with the successive victories of the Jingwu Army, they also gradually changed their names, no longer saying that they are short-haired, and slowly called the Jingwu Army, which can be regarded as a kind of recognition, admitting that the other party is very strong and worthy of their respect.
"Yes, Lord Wang, hurry up and make a decision!" At this moment, even the most die-hard Minister of Internal Affairs, Bao Jun, is no longer optimistic about Beijing's city defense, and he is also bent on escaping, "If you don't leave, it's too late!" β
"Let's go?" Prince Gong? Shaking his head with a wry smile, "Where can we go?" β
"We can go to Guanwai and find the emperor." Bao Jun said.
"Your Majesty?" Abundant? He smiled mockingly and continued to shake his head, but did not speak again.
Yes, the emperor, there is still an emperor in this Qing Dynasty, but the emperor and his old man are not in the capital of Beijing at the moment, but in Chengde.
Normally, now that Beijing can't be guarded, it's understandable to go to the emperor, but Yi? But he didn't want to do it, without him, he couldn't afford to lose this person!
Actually, Yi? I have always looked down on Emperor Xianfeng, thinking that he is just a villain who can pretend, but he relied on a little trick to deceive his father back then, and then he became the emperor.
Well, it's just that he becomes the emperor, anyway, he? is not very nostalgic for the throne, as long as this brother can be a good Qing Dynasty, he will be willing to soften, after all, the winner is the king.
But in reality, his brother was not competent at all when he was the emperor, not to mention being greedy and lustful during his time as an emperor, and he was very incompetent.
Originally, he still pressed these thoughts in his heart, but when Emperor Xianfeng fled to Beijing. And when you give him all the mess, Yi? completely let go of his arms and looked down on him even more.
The king of a country can't just die, but Yi? thinks that the emperor fled too eagerly, because although the situation at that time was bad, it could still be recovered, but because of Emperor Xianfeng's run, the only remaining military morale was gone.
Why was Jinan captured so quickly? And why did Tianjin fall so quickly? Abundant? It is believed that this is purely because of the evil consequences left by the emperor's early escape!
At this time, Yi has not really come into contact with the Jingwu Army. According to his thoughts, no matter how strong the Jingwu Army is, it is just a force armed by foreigners, and at most it is half a catty and eight taels with foreigners.
When the Dagukou defense battle was fought back then, a truth had been proven, that is, as long as the whole country was united, the foreigners could not be defeated. And it can be inferred from this that as long as they work together, it is not impossible to defeat the elite army.
The failure of Monk Grinqin was Yi? It is seen as the other party's arrogance and lasciviousness and paralysis. It is believed that the main fault lies in the unruliness of the monk Greenqin, and the fault lies in the unclear employment of Emperor Xianfeng.
You know, although the army of 300,000 people is huge, it is uneven. The orders are different, and what is needed at this time is an old and serious minister to be the commander-in-chief, but a person with a fierce personality like Seng Lingqin cannot be the commander-in-chief.
In Yi? Seemingly. Monk Lingqin has a stubborn temper and a resolute personality, but he is not very good at handling interpersonal relationships, he is suitable to be a front-line general, but not suitable to be the commander in charge of the overall situation.
However, Emperor Xianfeng made him the commander of the army, so that there would probably not be much harmony between the top and bottom of the army.
In the era of cold weapons, if a team exceeds 100,000, the most important thing is not how strong the local combat strength is, but the organizational ability, that is, how much the commander can give full play to the power of each department.
Generally speaking, before there is no better communication equipment, the more people there are, the easier it is to be confused, and the most important thing for a commander at this time is not to see how brave you are, but to see if you can be a man, whether you can coordinate the relationship between various generals, so that they can cooperate with each other.
If it is well coordinated, it is a huge force, but if it is not well coordinated, it is not as good as a small team that can play.
Throughout the ages, most of the battles in which fewer won more or less, and most of them were small elite teams defeating large groups, because large teams could not exert their strength, and large numbers of people caused their own chaos and gave the enemy a chance to take advantage of them.
So, long before Monk Greenqin led his troops to battle, Yi? I have analyzed that this army will be defeated, and the outcome is indeed like this.
However, after the defeat of Monk Greenqin, the situation was different. It is believed that although the Great Qing Kingdom is more dangerous, but the crisis also means an opportunity, under external pressure, as long as everyone is united, then the Manchurians still have a chance, at least they can block the elite army in the Beijing-Tianjin area, so that they can hold each other off.
This is not impossible, you know, there are more than one million children of the Eight Banners in Beijing, and there are about the same number in Tianjin, as long as these people are armed, and then the Russians help them, and fight a few battles against the elite army from afar to defend the city, even if they can't win, at least they can maintain an undefeated situation.
However, the premise of this qiΔ is that the emperor must sit in the capital and must reinvigorate the confidence of the banner people. It was for the sake of genuinely wanting to help the emperor, that he secretly communicated with the Russians, and that he was not even afraid to bear the notoriety of a traitor!
But Emperor Xianfeng still fled, shamefully fled, fled regardless of qiΔ, and took Yi away? The last glimmer of hope also made him completely wake up and decided to shoulder the banner of saving the entire banner man by himself!
That's right, it's indeed salvation, because in Yi? It seems that once the Han people rise again, they will inevitably counterattack, then there is a chance that their banner people will have no way to live, or in other words, even if the banner people have a way to live, it is estimated that they are the people at the bottom, and they are definitely not good at these princes and ministers.
Therefore, for others and for himself, he must provoke the banner man's beam!
Under these circumstances, his thinking began to be radicalized, not only signed a more humiliating treaty with the Russians, but also received more help from the Russians, and even borrowed a Russian soldier with the help of his division.
In addition, he also agreed with Bao Jun's opinion that the levy of thieves and donations from large Han families in Beijing was actually to rob money, and then use the stolen money to organize a new army composed of poor banner people.
Originally, he thought he was doing a good job. After some terrible urging, he finally raised nearly two million taels of silver from the Han people in Beijing, and then raised a new army of 50,000 people, all composed of poor Manchurians.
In addition to these, the Russians' soldiers and horses also arrived in advance. Full confidence.
Not only that, yi? He also secretly sent a secret envoy to Tianjing to prepare to negotiate with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. wanted to unite with the Taiping Army to attack the Jingwu Army, thinking that the Han people would continue to fight, and then he would reap the benefits of the fisherman, just like the ancestors who entered the customs back then.
Prince Gong? He thinks that what he has done is good enough, at least much better than Emperor Xianfeng, and he also feels that under his own arrangement, he can at least keep the Beijing-Tianjin area first, and then wait for the opportunity, depending on the future pattern.
He felt that he had made this arrangement. Even if you can't regain the world in the future, it is still very possible to emulate the situation of the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty, so that at least the banner people will not end up in extinction.
However. Things didn't go as smoothly as he thought.
First, the city of Jinan, which had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, was captured by Qingyi, and Shengbao committed suicide; Then, the unruly Russian soldiers advanced lightly against the enemy, and were surrounded and annihilated by the other party in Zhangjiatun; Followed by. As soon as he heard the news of the Taiping army's attack on the Jingwu army, Tianjin City fell in less than half a day, which completely exposed the city of Beijing to the guns of the Jingwu army.
And what about the city of Beijing? Although at this time, it seems that there are quite a few new troops. But after much training, there is no combat effectiveness at all, and the whole capital is now changing people's minds, the banner people only think about how to escape, and the Han people are thinking about how to open the city gate to welcome the new lord when the time comes, and no one wants to live and die with Beijing and block the Jingwu army in Beijing!
But they don't know that once Beijing misses again, it will be all over, because Beijing is not only a big city, it is also the capital, the orthodoxy of the imperial court, and the authority of the Manchus to rule the Qing Dynasty!
Once the capital is defeated, the authority of the Great Qing Kingdom will be completely gone, and then all parts of the world will no longer look down on the Great Qing Kingdom, and they will no longer look down on their love for the Xinjueluo family, and the Great Qing Dynasty will be reduced to a local warlord, or even a grass coward, and under the elimination of one and the other, the elite army can be powerful and win the righteousness of the world!
At that time, with Li Yongji's aggressiveness, he would definitely not let go of their banner people, I am afraid that even if the flag people want to retreat outside the customs to protect themselves, it will be impossible.
If he were Li Yongji, he would never let go of the flag people, because the flag people are the weakest time now, but the outside of the gate is not what it used to be, but there are a large number of Han people, how can Li Yongji let them go again?
That's it, that's it, now it's all over, since the emperor didn't plant and refused to die, let me do it instead of him!
Just let me love Xinjueluo. Yi?, stick to the last duty of the Qing Dynasty, and come to bury it with this Beijing city!
I hope that my death can let the world see the dignity of the Aixin Jueluo family, and let everyone see who is the real pride of the Aixin Jueluo family!
"Lord, lord?" See Prince Gong? Just staring blankly at the front, Bao Jun blinked, walked up to him and shook his hand, and then roared loudly, "Lord Wang, what do you think of our TiyΓ¬?" β
"Huh? What how? "Awakened? Shook his head.
"It's to set fire to the city!" Bao Jun grinned, "The Jingwu army has already reached Tianjin, and it will come over soon, we will take this opportunity to grab a handful, and then give them a strong wall to clear the wilderness, and burn down the city of Beijing!" In this way, we can at least stop them for a moment and a half, and we can take the opportunity to go north and go to Rehe to find the emperor. β
"What? Are you going to burn Beijing? "Yi? Surprised, "No, never!" β
"Why not." Bao Jun said, "Master Fuminga said, with our speed, I'm afraid we can't outrun the Jingwu Army, and even if we can run, we can only run partially." But we still have so many bannermen here, we can't leave them behind, right? But many of them are reluctant to go to the capital, and I'm afraid many people won't go with us.
In this case, we will simply burn down the city of Beijing, so that at least those banner men will definitely not dare to stay, so they can only follow us. In this way, not only can we stop the pursuers behind, but also strengthen the confidence of our banner people and let them follow us, don't you say? β
"Nonsense, are you trying to kill us?" Abundant? Slammed the table in anger. "The burning of Beijing is absolutely not feasible, absolutely not to be done! If we really do this, our banner people will form a mortal enmity with the Han people, and we will really exterminate the clan, don't you understand this truth? β
"Then what about our compatriots in the capital?" Baojun said, "Many of them refuse to leave, do they just watch them fall into the hands of the Han people?" β
"What if it falls into the hands of the Han Chinese." Abundant? said, "Then Li Yongji is a person who is bent on seizing the world, and if he wants to take over the world, it is impossible to have such a heart." Rest assured. As long as we don't do anything to make people embarrassed, he will not embarrass our bannermen. β
"Hmph, not necessarily." Bao Jun snorted coldly, "You didn't read those flyers they sent, did you?" After reading those leaflets, you won't believe that the Han people will treat us bannermen preferentially. β
"Flyers? What flyer? "Yi? Wondered.
"You don't know. Everywhere Li Yongji went, he asked people to post notices and distribute leaflets everywhere, all of which were bad things about our banner people. Bao Jun said with a cold face, "Those leaflets are all the sins we did when we entered the customs back then!"
What Jiading three slaughters. Yangzhou will not be mentioned on the 10th, and what else is the Nanjing Massacre, Jiangyin 81st, Wuxi Massacre, Jinhua Massacre, Zhoushan Massacre, Suzhou Massacre, Haining Massacre, Changshu Massacre, Xinfeng Massacre, Xiangtan Massacre, Gengyin Massacre, Chaozhou Massacre, Sichuan Massacre...... Hmph, I'm terrified when I see these things. Those Han people also hate us to the bone, do you really think that they will treat us well after taking over the world? β
"This, this ......?" Stunned. "It's nonsense, many of those things are not done by our flag people at all, such as the ...... of Yangzhou Ten Days"
"Alright, alright. My good lord, when is it, you are still entangled in this. Bao Jun shook his head, and then took out a yellow booklet from his sleeve, "Lord Wang, take a look at this, these are all from my spies from the south, and they are all things that the Jingwu Army will inevitably distribute in large quantities everywhere they go, you can read this, and then tell me about it." β
Suspiciously, he took the booklet in Bao Jun's hand and found that there were three big characters written on the surface, which seemed to be the name of the book.
When I opened it, I found that there was nothing else in it, that is, it described the massacre of the Han people when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs in the form of a record, such as the ten days of Yangzhou, the three massacres of Jiading, etc., are all recorded on it, and after these well-known massacres, there are more massacres, what Huizhou massacre, Xixian massacre, etc., are vividly remembered, that is to say, in the front catalog, there are shocking massacres of so-and-so!
When you continue to turn back, you will see that it is full of detailed descriptions and records that specifically describe the massacre carried out by the Qing army in a certain place, which is also shocking:
"The women wore long ropes around their necks, and they were as tired as beads, and they fell step by step, and they were covered with mud; The ground is full of babies, or lined with horses' hooves, or by human feet, the liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and the crying is full of wilderness. β
"On the fourth day of the first month, the sky is shining. The corpses on the road have been swelled by the rain, and the green skin is like a drum, and the flesh and blood have collapsed. The filth is pressing, and the menstrual period is burning, and its anger is getting worse. Front, back, left and right, burning everywhere. The room is dense, formed like fog, and smells fishy for hundreds of miles. β
"Jiashen changed his surname and spent seven years begging for death. He is innocent of the people, and then he will suffer from the six poles. Blood spattered on the streets, and ants gather to eat. The hungry bird pecked at the intestines and flew up to the north of the city. The north wind is a cow, and the skulls are piled up. Or like a pagoda, or like a mountain. The five elements are exhausted, there is no wisdom and no foolishness, no nobility and no cheapness, and they are all in the same area. β
"Whoever sees it will demand gold and silver, and if he asks for gold, he will swing his sword and cut him down, and if a woman embraces him and commits adultery, he will be taken captive into the boat. When encountering men and women, they will lead the neck and send out the hidden in the ground, less or zhiwu, that is, disembowelment. β
"Take the yin flesh or cut the nipple, the place to test the merits, and accumulate into a mound!"
β¦β¦
I just looked at half of it casually, Prince Gong? I felt my heart beat faster and my forehead began to sweat, as if this booklet weighed a thousand pounds!
"How's it going, my good lord? How's it going? Bao Jun joked.
God exhaled, Prince Gong? Only then did he regain his composure: "Hmph, it was hundreds of years ago, who knows if what is written here is true or false?" Of course, our ancestors did some murder and robbery when they entered the customs, but in fact, many of them were carried out by the Han themselves, and they can't all rely on us. For example, the Sichuan Massacre, what slaughtered millions, a bunch of nonsense, this is obviously done by Zhang Xianzhong, how can it be relied on on our heads? β
"Hey, Lord Wang, you also said, who said clearly what happened hundreds of years ago." Bao Jun sighed, "They just need to know that we have done evil, and they only need to stir up hatred against us." Anyway, my lord, after reading this booklet, do you still think the Han people will let us go? Do you still think my idea of burning down Beijing is bad? β
"Of course not!" Abundant? stood up suddenly, "Originally, it was just a fictitious thing, if you really want to burn Beijing, you will just confirm our cruelty, and the fake will become true!" β
Speaking of which, Yi? Suddenly, the soul was blessed, and the original desire to live and die with the city of Beijing was gone, but instead it was filled with an inexplicable and seemingly greater feeling!
That's right, at this moment, what I'm thinking about is how to keep the entire group of banner people, how to keep the Manchu people from being slaughtered!
In his opinion, only he is smart among the Manchurians, and the others are either timid and afraid like Emperor Xianfeng, or cruel and foolish people like Baojun! If he dies casually and puts the government in the hands of these people, let alone whether the Qing Dynasty can be preserved at that time, even if they are full of people, I am afraid they will all die without a place to be buried!
Compared with the life and death of the entire Manchu people, what is the dignity of Aixin Jueluo?
"Pack up, we'll leave at once." Abundant? After taking a few deep breaths, "Order the treasury to be sealed, and leave a few reliable people to watch over it to wait for the Jingwu Army to take over." As for us, we don't want all the gold and silver, just take all our soldiers and horses, and we will go to Chengde to find the emperor! β
Listening? Saying this, Bao Jun and Fu Ming'a glanced at each other, nodded very tacitly, and then said nothing.
It turned out that Baojun had said that he had burned down the city of Beijing and taken the pamphlet of "The Death of the Han Family", all of which were to force Prince Gong and make him give up the idea of defending Beijing.
You must know that as early as when the Jingwu Army defeated the Russian intervention army and continued to lead the troops to approach Tianjin, Fu Ming'a said that Tianjin could not be defended, and Beijing could not hold it, and he wanted to pack up and run outside the customs as soon as possible, but unfortunately Prince Gong at that time? They didn't listen at all, and made a posture of coexistence with Beijing.
Prince Gong was the supreme head of Beijing at this time, and many banner people were also convinced of him, if he didn't leave, whether it was Fu Ming'a or Baojun, he wouldn't dare to go, because once they abandoned Prince Gong and left, the emperor would definitely not let them go.
Therefore, if they want to go with peace of mind, they must pull Prince Gong Yi? Let's go!
In this way, they thought about it for a long time, and in the end, it was still Yi? Guiliang, the father-in-law, came up with such a trick, using the interests of the entire Manchurian people to scare Prince Gong and coerce him to abandon Beijing City and flee with everyone.
Looking at it now, it seems to work well, Prince Gong? He's finally enlightened! (To be continued......)
