"Listen to the Qing soldiers above, our Lord Wang is here to open the city gate for us, otherwise our soldiers may mutinied because they can't get rest for a long time. So you have to open the gates for us, or the soldiers will mutiny, and it will be really uncertain. ”

The Qing soldiers on the tower were very nervous, they didn't know if the Taiwanese army would really attack the city. The capital has not experienced war for many years, and the last time it was a British and French attack decades ago, and then burned down the Old Summer Palace. As for the following decades, the capital was also peaceful, so the soldiers on the tower were all young generation, and they rarely experienced the feeling of soldiers coming to the city. So now that they hear that Taiwan is going to attack the city, of course they are very afraid.

In their eyes, Taiwan has been able to defeat foreign devils several times, and that is also very powerful. Taiwan's even foreign devil Dou can be defeated, so it will naturally not be a problem to defeat them. In this way, they are also very afraid, if the time comes, they will definitely not be able to defend the city.

"Since you are unwilling to open the city gate for us to enter the capital to rest, then it is better to blame our soldiers for mutiny."

Li Guodong immediately said to the artillery brigade; "Artillery brigade, fire at me, bomb me hard. Blow out all their will to resist, and then let them see what we're capable of. It's really a tiger that doesn't make a threat, when I'm a sick cat! These guys, if the foreigners have the same strength, then I'm afraid they would have opened the door and surrendered or fled. But on the contrary, we are Chinese, and they think that we are easy to bully, right? ”

During this period, the Chinese army had a problem, when facing foreigners, their morale would plummet, even if the original 10 percent combat effectiveness could not be exerted 20 percent. And when encountering the Chinese, it is the opposite, their combat effectiveness will be 120% bonus. This is also the reason why these soldiers are outsiders in foreign wars and insiders in civil wars, and they have no confidence in the face of foreigners. But in the face of the Chinese, he is full of confidence. This is a very sad thing, but now Taiwan wants to tell them that Taiwan's strength is stronger than that of foreigners.

"203 howitzer, blow it up for me!" Li Guodong said.

The 203 howitzer, that is, a howitzer with a caliber of 203 mm, is the largest howitzer in this era. And the price of such howitzers is very high, and one shell is enough to ruin an ordinary family. The cost is particularly high. Therefore, the power of this howitzer is also very huge, and the range of most football fields will be affected by one shot, and the enemy within the range is almost certain to die. And this kind of howitzer is very powerful and expensive, so Taiwan only equips the army-level units with a battalion, and the Guards Division is the most elite unit, so they also have a battalion.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

More than a dozen large-caliber howitzers exploded dozens of meters outside the city wall of the capital, and did not directly bombard the city wall. But this situation also made many Qing soldiers unbearable, and many Qing soldiers were also blown away. Those soldiers who did not take refuge in cover in time. Immediately, they were blown away by this huge wave of air.

"Brothers of the Qing army, this is our last warning to you, this time we saluted first and then soldiers, and did not bomb you directly, but if you are stubborn, then don't blame us for directly bombing your city wall."

When the Qing army on the city tower heard this, they were even more frightened.

"Mr. Qian, let's surrender in Kaesong! They are such powerful cannons. We can't stop it! Just now they just saluted first and then soldiers, and did not bomb us directly. But even then, we lost dozens of brothers. If they bomb us directly, we will all lose in less than a turn. If we die, there will be no one to pay us a pension. When the time comes, when the dynasty changes, not only will we not be loyal ministers. Rather, they are stubborn people. At that time, our family was miserable......"

"Yes! Mr. Qian, now the situation is very obvious, Taiwan has sent a part of the elite to infiltrate the inner city and snatch the nine gates. And they can enter the inner city at any time. then forced the queen mother and the emperor to abdicate, and at that time it was time to change the dynasty. Why do we have to work so hard, we just surrendered, and then we can go home safely. But if we resist, there will be no good end at all. These Taiwanese are also us Chinese, anyway, they are all our own family, who is the emperor is not the same thing? So, let's hurry up and surrender, and then let's get out of here. ”

The gatekeeper of the city gate thought for a while, and then said helplessly: "Let's open the door and surrender!" ”

Soon, the city gate was opened, and the Qing soldiers inside immediately began to lay down their arms and come out in surrender.

"It's really boring, I thought they were going to put up a desperate resistance, so I could use my command skills!" Li Guodong muttered.

"Order, the 1st Guards Regiment is responsible for snatching the major city gates and guarding the major city gates in the capital. The Second Guards Regiment is responsible for maintaining law and order in the capital, and if there are anyone who takes advantage of the fire to rob, kills and sets fires, or takes the opportunity to rape women, I will kill all of them. The 3rd Regiment of the Guards went to seize the inner city and surround the Forbidden City, surround but not fight, but don't let out even a fly. The gendarmerie, which is responsible for maintaining discipline in the army. We reiterate once again that if you have committed a military law in the capital, the crime will be added to the first degree. The capital is the capital of our country, and our entry into the capital represents our image, so whoever dares to destroy the image of our army is also the sinner of our army. Wang Guorui said.

"Yes!"

The armies of the Guards Division began to progress one by one in order, and from this first gate, the following Qing troops also took over the towers. Most of the other towers also chose to surrender. And even if some officers didn't plan to surrender, they were tied up and sacrificed by the soldiers, and then the soldiers made a surrender. Only one tower chose to resist to the end, but their fate was also very tragic, and most of the resisters were reached into a hornet's nest and died enough to die again.

There is no doubt about the strong combat effectiveness of the Guards Division, not only does it have one-third of the Red Guard soldiers, this ratio is very unbelievable. Because with the expansion of the troops, the proportion of red police soldiers in other units is also declining more and more, and the vast majority of the troops are less than one-fifth of the red police, and they all hold the position of squad and platoon leader, so as long as they ensure loyalty. This is the result of Wang Guorui's consciousness, because he hopes to reduce the proportion of Red Alert soldiers so that the army can develop healthily. Even in the future, Wang Guorui plans to continue to further reduce the proportion of red police soldiers, so that this is a truly healthy army, otherwise they are all red police soldiers fighting, so after the establishment of the empire, will they still rely on red police soldiers?

However, the Guards Division is different, the Guards Division is Wang Guorui's troops, and the proportion of Red Guard soldiers in the Guards Division has not decreased, but is increasing. The Red Guard soldiers drawn from other units were also transferred to the Guards Division. Because the Guards Division is all non-commissioned officers, and the Red Police soldiers are also non-commissioned officers, so they are just transferred to the Guards Division in the name of selection. So the combat effectiveness of the Guards Division is very strong. Even the natural people in the Guards Division are veterans who have undergone political examination, and most of them are veterans who have completed at least one service cycle, and their training level is very good. There are not many troops in the world with this kind of combat effectiveness, and it is impossible for them to have so many Wang Guorui. Wang Guorui also relies on China's huge population ratio and the red alarm system to be able to get so many elites, otherwise other countries would not be able to get so many elites. Now that it is used to fight the Qing army, it is simply killing chickens with a knife, and it is easy.

"Report to Lord Wang, we have cleared the city of all resistance, both the inner and outer cities. The banner people in the inner city, they did not choose to resist, they chose to sit idly by. With the cooperation of our General Intelligence Agency, we also appeased the banner people in the inner city, and they all chose to accept us calmly, and did not choose to fight with us. And we didn't take the initiative to harass them.

"Very good, these Manchu banner people will also be regarded as second-class citizens of our China in the future, although they are second-class, but they are also citizens, and their basic rights are still guaranteed. So they can choose to accept it plainly, and we don't have to target them specifically. Wang Guorui said.

And Li Guodong immediately asked: "Lord Wang, should we attack the imperial city?" ”

Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "Anyway, they are all turtles in the urn, so there is no need." Will you destroy your future home? ”

"Oh? I see, they can't run away anyway, and we don't need to destroy the Forbidden City for their sake. What Lord Wang wants is an intact Forbidden City, I see! Li Guodong said.

Wang Guorui didn't fight the Forbidden City, because he knew that the current artillery was too powerful, and once he started to attack, he would destroy the Forbidden City, and his future home would be destroyed. Anyway, these Manchu dignitaries and nobles are also trapped inside, why should they make a mess of their future homes for them? Since they are all turtles in the urn, there is no need, and they can clean up those Manchu palace guards at any time, so instead of thinking about what to attack the imperial city, it is better to wait here for the command of Tianjin to resist the enemy, and at present, it must be mainly to resist the invasion of foreigners.
