After the initial panic, the residents of Shanglu discovered that the bomb dropped by the Taiping rebels was loud, but no one was killed, but the colorful pieces of paper were scattered all over the ground. So, some of the bold people stopped running in panic, and with the courage to pick up a piece of drawing paper, and held it in their hands to examine it.

"There are so many people in this painting!"

"This kid is amazing, he is actually wearing a dragon robe!"

"Yes, look at these people, their clothes are so gorgeous!"

"Are these costumes?"

This is the lower class of citizens in Shanglucheng District, those ragged foot workers, aunts and other manual laborers, after seeing the patterns on these painted papers.

Their faces, devastated by the era, were filled with the horror caused by the air raids of the Taiping Society and the surprise of discovering strange things.

At this time, the propeller planes of the Taiping Society quickly withdrew after dropping these drawing papers that did not have the slightest "lethality", except for the fact that they could still see a huge Taiping Society military airship, which was still slowly approaching the sky of Shanglucheng District.

This huge city of millions of people has fallen into an eerie state of silence after a brief panic.

Compared with the lower-class civilians in Shanglu in the city who can only understand the images on the drawing paper and cannot understand the words on the drawing paper, the scholars, merchants and gentry in the demon capital Shanglu can now be said to have been released by the Taiping Society The news revealed on the painting paper is about to shatter.

On the most prosperous commercial street in Shanglu City, most of these merchants and gentry who used to think they were the superior people of Daqing had already fled out of the city as soon as the airship appeared in the sky.

But there were still a small number of well-dressed merchants and gentry who did not leave because of various concerns.

They boldly gathered together, and they were incomparably conspicuous in the big empty street now.

These are the first time to pick up the Taiping Society scattered painting paper to check, often read foreign newspapers in the Western Concession, and have some understanding of the existence of the Taiping Society.

These people knew that the Taiping Society had a good reputation in the international community, that it had good commercial credit, and that it had not wantonly killed white civilians when it captured Nagara five years earlier.

"Brother Qingzhu, this, is this true?"

A chubby Shaoxing merchant dressed in a scribe's green shirt and wearing a melon skin hat held the drawing paper he had just carefully read three times with a broken face, and asked the person beside him.

He was engaged in the Dongying maritime trade business, and often traveled back and forth between the vast land of Shenzhou and the Dongying area, and had heard of the name of the Taiping Society more than once.

But even so, the terrifying news on these pieces of paper still made his face full of fear.

"The emperor and the queen mother, as well as these dignitaries and nobles in the imperial court, were they really caught by the traitors of the Taiping Society?"

Standing on the right side of the fat merchant is a landlord whose hometown is also Shaoxing, surnamed Li Mingfu and Qingzhu.

"Shhhh

The landlord had just recovered from the shock caused by the previous air raid, and now he gradually came back to his senses and said in a low voice.

"The news of the emperor and the queen mother, how can we and other ordinary people evaluate it?"

"I don't know what Master Wang thinks?"

He changed his style and handed the words to a gentleman who stood across from him, a gentleman with great fame.

"As far as I can see, it must be a fake!"

"What kind of place is Jingshi? The braided guards in the imperial city are highly skilled in martial arts, and there are tens of thousands of elite green battalions around, and there are hundreds of cannons alone! ”

"If you really encounter a strong enemy, you will definitely call on the governors and governors of all provinces in the world to lead the elite Qin King!"

"How can it be silent and broken by a traitor?"

This gentleman, known as Wang Juren, also specially accentuated his tone when he said the words "silent".

Wang Juren is among the people present, many times in person to Beiping, he has gone to Beijing to take the Jinshi examination number of times, there are as many as four times, but unfortunately not a single one.

"That's right, what the old man said is right!"

"Although this Taiping rebel is menacing, it is impossible to have such a strong force to silently break through the Jingshi!"

On the other side, with a mustache, was a masked merchant with a big waist and a round waist, and he shook the drawing paper in his hand vigorously, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the patterns on these drawing papers are probably formed by means of magic rubbing."

As a merchant under the tent of King Mengbian Khan, he looked up at the Taiping Society airship that was still approaching, and continued in a deep voice.

"But being able to make such a huge amount of power, this Taiping Society should not be underestimated!"

Although this star has not yet developed to the era of photographic PS technology, after all, there was a real supernatural power.

The scene of the emperor and the queen mother prostrate on the paper was taken for granted by these people with a lot of status in the Daqing world, and they didn't think about "it may really happen", because it was really incredible!

However, these people don't think so, it doesn't mean that the remnants of the Daqing Dynasty in this city don't think so.

"This, how is this possible!"

Lin Tiande, the governor of Shanglu Mansion, was dressed in a dark blue official robe, sitting on the main seat in the hall, and his hands holding the telegram couldn't stop trembling.

"How could Galeries Lafayette give such a monstrous imperial decree?"

He looked at the table next to him, where the servant had just presented a piece of drawing paper, and the familiar figures on it were the same as the big figures in his memory, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Could it be, could it be that the Jingshi ······?"

Just when he looked anxious and kept whispering something to himself.

Shanglu garrison general, braided inner city governor Gelma, strode in, and said very quickly after saluting him.

"Lord Lin, I have arranged for the officials in the palace to guard all around."

"And the six thousand warriors with braided hair in the twelve divisions are also under my order, entering the key areas of Shanglu!"

"But our people are still too few in number!"

Emperor Taizu of Daqing, who set the policy of eating with braided hair, would never have imagined that Shanglu, which was just an ordinary county town at that time, would become a giant city in Shenzhou with a population of one million people three hundred years later.

Therefore, the twelve braided men who are stationed here to eat, but only 6,000 people, are naturally far from being able to defend such a huge city against the attack of the invading enemy.

"In addition to the airship of the Taiping Society in the sky, have you found the landing force of the Taiping rebels on the sea?"

After Germa's report was finished, Futai Lin Tiande hurriedly got up and walked over to ask.

"Report to your lord, the general's subordinates have not found the landing force of the thieves on the sea!"

"Lord Futai, the top priority should be to immediately ask the imperial court, let Lafayette issue the Tiger Talisman secret telegram, and let the green camp army outside the city enter the city."

The "Tiger Fu Secret Electricity" in Golma's discourse is actually two sets of Yin and Yang special telegrams composed of ciphertext specially set up by the imperial court to imitate the past military dispatch "Tiger Fu" after the wireless telegraphy technology was introduced to Daqing, China.

Before the local governor or governor mobilized the army, he had to ask the imperial court to issue a secret telegram in "Yangwen", and only after it corresponded with the secret telegram of "Yinwen" issued by the imperial court to the commander of the garrison could the military order of the feudal commander be considered valid.

"General Gelma, how can there be any tiger talisman secret electricity now?"

Hearing the words of the braided general Germa, the face of Lin Tiande, the governor of Shanghai, became even more sad.

"I suspect, I suspect that there may really be something wrong with Jingshi like the drawing paper issued by those Taiping rebels!"

After he finished speaking with a wry smile, he handed the imperial telegram he had just received from the Beiping Imperial Court to Germa.

Germa took a look, and the face of the rough man with pigtailed hair immediately changed greatly.

Because this telegram was not an urgent military reply to the "invasion of the Taiping traitors" sent to them in the past, but a direct order for them to surrender unconditionally to the Taiping Society······

An hour later, the giant airship that had arrived directly above Shanglu City in the sky began to land white umbrella flowers, and a solemn-looking airborne soldier of the Taiping Unification Army landed directly in the center of Shanglu City.

After receiving the last telegram from the Jingshi "surrendering" the imperial order, Lin Tiande, the governor of Shanglu, and Germa, the braided staff general Germa, who were directly "banned" by the Taiping Society, could not immediately contact and order the Green Battalion troops stationed on the outskirts of Shanglu City to enter the city for defense.

In front of the Taiping Airborne Forces, which were equipped with advanced equipment such as semi-automatic rifles, rocket launchers, and single mortars, the "slight" resistance of the braided warriors and officials in the city was broken at the first moment.

The murderous form made these two officials and generals of the Daqing Dynasty have to "wisely" surrender to the Taiping Airborne Forces.

Since then, on the penultimate day of December 1863 in the AD era, counting from the appearance of airships in the sky, Shanglu, the magic capital of one million people, has officially become a city under the protection of the Taiping Society in just 8 hours.

Moreover, because of its excellent port environment and basic transportation facilities, it soon became an important material transit point and strategic outpost for the Taiping army to unify the whole country.

Shanglu, the magic capital, also became the first large-scale Shenzhou city successfully occupied by the Taiping Society Unification Army in the all-out war to unify Shenzhou launched by the Taiping Society Unification Army after successfully capturing Beiping······
