Chapter 718: Our Lady Fights Back on All Fronts
Standing at the head of the city and looking down, about eight kilometers away from Yongding Gate, eight camps are being built at the same time, a group of green figures are busy in full swing, various types of artillery, the towering cannon barrel is pointed directly at Beijing City, although Lan'er and Niu Hulu do not understand military affairs, but they can also feel the invisible Sen Sen killing machine.
Lan'er couldn't help patting her chest, and said in shock: "No wonder Shorthair will win every battle, it is indeed much stronger than my Daqing, alas~~ After all, it has been peaceful for a long time, and the armament is relaxed. ”
Niu Hulu put down the binoculars and said with deep sympathy: "If you can avoid this catastrophe today, you should put a tight spell on the flags, by the way, I heard that this time it was Wang Feng's personal expedition, do you remember the cruel words he let go of when he broke into Beijing a few years ago?" ”
"What?" Lan'er was stunned.
Niu Hulu said in a low voice: "He said wildly at the time, all the concubines of the former emperor, who dares to give birth to a son and a half daughter, don't blame Lao Tzu for selling her to Africa in the future, he is a well-known ruthless person, Lan'er, don't fall into his hands!" ”
With a brush, Lan'er's face turned pale in an instant, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably, originally she didn't take this to heart, if it wasn't for Niu Hulu's reminder, she would have forgotten it a long time ago, but today is different, Wang Feng is here again.
Lan'er subconsciously picked up the binoculars and looked at it, as if she wanted to find out this person, but Wang Feng is the most unelaborate emperor in China throughout the ages, without any pomp and circumstance, and the military uniforms he usually wears also imitate the party and state leaders of the Red Dynasty, that is, the kind without a logo, simple, in the midst of more than 100,000 people, how can you find it?
It took a long time for Lan'er to die. Withdrawing the binoculars, he said suddenly: "I think that every time I catch a thief in the Qing Dynasty, I don't ask men or women, I will be naked, this is obviously hurting the heavens and the peace, and God has sent retribution." Sister, as the queen mother, I deserve this catastrophe, if my halal gas is exhausted, I would rather die and die than teach myself to fall into the hands of shorthair, sister, the wind in the city is too strong, let's go back. ”
Because of Wang Feng's joke, Lan'er's interest was all lost. Dragging Niu Hulu, he walked back uneasily.
And Wang Feng had already forgotten this, and he didn't see the two queen mothers coming to the city, but he was just looking at the gate of Yongding with interest.
The original Yongding City Gate was blown down, and the Qing court rebuilt another one, but limited to financial resources, it was obviously impossible to build it with glutinous rice and green bricks, but to build it with stone rammed earth. It is clearly different from the surrounding city walls, and the castle tower is also a circle smaller.
Su Sanniang was also looking. quickly retracted his gaze and said: "I remember that you were boasting here at the time, pacifying China within ten years, and now ten years have not arrived, but you have returned to Beijing, looking back it seems to have happened yesterday, this time flies really fast." ”
Su Sanniang's face was full of embarrassment. She is already in her late thirties, and it is inevitable that she will feel that time has passed.
Yang Shuijiao took it and said, "Sister Sanniang, you are not old at all, you are still as young as when Jintian rebelled, where." You look at it in the mirror, your skin is smooth, white and delicate, you say that no one dares to believe you in your twenties, Wang Feng, do you say yes? ”
Wang Feng didn't answer, just looked at Su Sanniang with a smile, with a hint of indescribable meaning in his eyes.
Su Sanniang's face suddenly turned slightly red, and she said angrily: "When you become the emperor, you don't take your sister seriously, right?" You, don't be too complacent, the Qing court will fight against the water, it may not be desperate, and there are foreigners who are embarrassed with him, and Beijing City is not so easy to break. ”
Wang Feng said disapprerovingly: "The foreigners were forced to cooperate with the Qing court, in fact, the two sides have their own ghosts, as long as we are not forced too hard, sooner or later we will have their own calculations, this Beijing will be surrounded for a few days before talking, but not in a hurry to attack." ”
Yang Shuijiao frowned and said, "Unless you withdraw from the army, how can there be any other calculations?" But retreat, the city of Beijing will inevitably be looted by foreigners, if you don't retreat, even if the city is broken, the Qing army may also fight street battles, you see the city, everyone is like a big enemy, in short, no matter what, Beijing is going to be destroyed this time. ”
Wang Feng turned his head and asked, "Tao Xuan, what do you see?" ”
"This" Tao Xuan sighed slightly, and then said: "The Qing court is really like a frightened bird, the reason why he insisted, just because surrender is also a dead word, if you pardon the sins of the banner people, allow them to surrender and not die, the banner people will inevitably float in the army, and then there is no decisive heart, and the alliance with the foreigners will also be self-defeating, and Beijing should be able to win without a fight." ”
"Oh? Are you asking me to spare the bannermen? Wang Feng said quietly.
Tao Wei gritted his teeth and threw his hand away: "Your Majesty, you have cast a great heavenly might, and the unification of the whole country is imminent, at this time it is advisable to lenient the government and suspend the sentence, you release the flag man a way to live, the people of the world will only praise you for repaying grievances with virtue, you are the king of benevolence and righteousness, and you can avoid the catastrophe of Beijing for no reason." ”
Yang Shuijiao also said: "What Secretary Tao said makes sense, at least if you order a strong attack, the city of Beijing will be destroyed, although you don't take Beijing as the capital, but the old capital of the Three Dynasties, it is a pity that it was destroyed by the war, and the people in the city don't know how much they want to die in vain." ”
"Huh?" Wang Feng was surprised: "Yang Shuijiao, Tao Wei persuaded my subordinates to be merciful, I can understand from his position, but you are Yang Xiuqing's sister, and you have been fighting against the Qing Dynasty from the beginning, you should be the most resolute in the revolution." ”
Yang Shuijiao's face turned red, and he said: "People just think that orphans and widows are very pitiful, even if the banner people are cruel, but what does this have to do with women and children?" ”
Su Sanniang nodded and said: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, don't you hate Cao Cao, Sima Yi, and Zhao Kuangyin who specialize in bullying orphans and widows?" Will you learn from them, and persecute the fatherless and the widowed? ”
"Poor Cixi?" Wang Feng smiled dumbly, and then looked at Zhou Xiuying: "Big sister, you don't want to be a virgin, don't you forget, your old man was killed by the Qing court by cruel means." ”
Zhou Xiuying argued: "It was Zhong Dianxuan who killed my father, I have already taken revenge, in fact, when it comes to cruelty, the Han people are no worse than the Manchus, such as that Zeng Guofan, isn't he an authentic Han man?" Moreover, in the massacre two or three hundred years ago, the Han people killed their own people more ruthlessly than the Manchus! ”
"Crazy, all crazy, you women are really unreasonable, Our Lady is fighting back all the way!" Wang Feng shook his head and said helplessly: "It depends on the situation, if the flag people don't know how to lift." I can't blame me. ”
After speaking, Wang Feng put his hands behind his back and walked towards the camp.
"Yay!" Zhou Xiuying and Yang Shuijiao cheered and stretched out their victorious fingers, and Su Sanniang also hesitantly stretched out her fingers, but this word. It's embarrassing to export
Unconsciously, ten days have passed, and in these ten days, the Democratic Alliance army besieged but did not attack, but they captured many eunuchs, palace maids, and non-commissioned officers who escaped from the Old Summer Palace.
These people saw that the Qing Dynasty was not good, and they stole valuable things and ran, don't look at the fact that one person can't bring many things, but the power of ants moving should not be underestimated, and there are thousands of palace eunuchs and officials at all levels in the Old Summer Palace. There are still tens of thousands of defenders, and if they are not stopped in time, it will not be long before the Old Summer Palace will be moved to only an empty shell.
The Old Summer Palace does not refer to the First Garden of the Old Ming Palace, but includes two gardens, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden, located in the western suburbs of Beijing, backed by the continuous Xiu Peak of the West Mountain, Wang Feng immediately transferred the army. blocked the main roads in and out of the Three Yuan Ming Palaces, and even arranged sentry posts on nearby hills. In this way, many antiques and curiosities were intercepted, and the captured eunuchs, officials and soldiers were escorted to the gate of the Old Summer Palace, and after the crime was announced, they were collectively shot, and the palace maids were forced to re-education through labor for three years, both at the same time. Soon the limelight of stealing and looting the property of the Old Summer Palace was suppressed.
In the city of Beijing, the atmosphere is becoming more and more tense day by day, you must know that the blunt knife cutting and torment brought by the siege of the army is the most abrasive, although there is enough food stored in the city. It is not a problem to delay until the Chinese New Year, but the coal cannot be transported in.
Why did the Qing court prohibit private coal mining? Because coal is an indispensable thing for the winter in the north, it is in the hands of the court and can make huge profits.
As the weather is cold, the supply of coal is becoming more and more tight, even the palace is not allowed to burn coal during the day, only at night can be counted, many people are too cold to bear, have to dismantle the table and bench to light the fire to keep warm, over the city of Beijing, the smoke is rolling day and night, and the haze comes inadvertently.
Amid the choking smoke, in the middle of the night of 28 November, a figure sneaked out of Beijing and went around in a circle and submerged into the camp of the Democratic League.
This person is Fuxing, the so-called thief ship can't get off, since six years ago for the Democratic League sent a message, he was targeted, had to be a spy, a large amount of information about the Beijing deep palace and the court from his hands, so that the Democratic League army knows the movements of the Qing court well.
Since Fuxing is in the high position of the Minister of the Guards and the Deputy Commander of the Zhengbai Banner, he can easily go out of the city, so tonight, he needs to hand over the map of the distribution of troops in the whole city of Beijing to the Democratic Alliance Army.
Although he was very reluctant to take risks, he had no choice but to accept the messenger of the letter under the combination of soft and hard methods of the secret agents of the Democratic Alliance army lurking in Beijing, such as spreading the news that you were a traitor seeking glory without sending a letter, and for example, His Majesty would not treat you badly if he had made great contributions.
Wang Feng personally received him, this map is very detailed, the distribution of the Qing court's troops in addition to the gates, the Forbidden City and the official office, but also make full use of the terrain, every strategic point is not missed, and the determination to end up together can be seen at a glance.
Wang Feng handed the map to Tao Huan, and after Tao Huan looked at it carefully, he swallowed and said: "Your Majesty, if this picture is correct, the subordinates can assert that the Qing court is fully prepared for street fighting, even if our army breaks through the city, Beijing City will be destroyed, if it is besieged for a long time and not attacked, I am afraid that the people of Beijing will be knocked out by the Qing court, and even when there is a shortage of food, it is possible to kill and eat, do you want to give it a try?" ”
Wang Feng looked at Fuxing, Fuxing suddenly tightened, and he didn't even dare to penetrate the atmosphere, he had a natural sense of fear for Wang Feng, and the taste of the tiger chair is still remembered clearly.
After a while, Wang Feng asked, "Fuxing, is there any omission in your picture?" ”
Fuxing hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this map is a minion, it is a villain who took advantage of his position and traveled all over Beijing to draw it personally, and there is no omission." ”
"Good!" Wang Feng nodded, and said, "Fuxing, I'll hand you over an errand, and if it's done, I can keep your whole family safe, are you willing?" (To be continued......)
