Chapter 68: The Fall of the Manchu Dynasty

Although the Gyeonggi stronghold was guarded by the Janissaries of the Manchu Dynasty, these thousands of bandits were too powerful, and their weapons were also extremely advanced, almost exactly the same as the Chinese National Defense Force in the south!

At this point, the Manchu Dynasty finally understood that these were all ambushes laid by Wang Bo ten years ago!

When Wang Bo left the capital ten years ago, Lin Dashan took a battalion of nearly 400 soldiers to stay in Hujia Village and slowly recruit and train them!

Lin Dashan's thousands of soldiers were advanced in weapons, strong and strong, and they quickly attacked when the Manchu Dynasty was in chaos, and it didn't take long to directly enter the capital and surround the Forbidden City.

A few days later, Tianjue's rebel army finally rushed into the capital and joined Lin Dashan's subordinates, and the Manchu Dynasty's lords in Beijing were trapped in the capital, and none of them could escape!

Because the changes during this period were too fast, it was simply lightning fast, and Li Hongzhang's family was not captured and imprisoned in the Forbidden City by the Manchu Dynasty. Lin Dashan saw that he was the father-in-law of the commander-in-chief Wang Bo, so he didn't embarrass him, but he strictly ordered him to stay in the mansion and not be allowed to enter or leave.

Wang Bo received the news that the capital had been attacked by the Huaxia National Defense Army, and the old woman Cixi and the cowardly emperor Guangxu and other Manchu Eight Banner princes and nobles were all surrounded in the Forbidden City, and immediately burst into joy, and ordered the land army to immediately launch a fierce attack and advance to Shandong, Shanqi, and Zhili (that is, Hebei)!

He boarded a warship and headed for the capital under the escort of the newly formed East China Sea Fleet.

On the morning of July 22, 1895, Wang Bo arrived at the mouth of Tianjue Dagu by warship along the coastal road, and Weihaiwei's Beiyang Naval Division had already been ordered by Li Hongzhang to stay in the port.

In the early morning of July 23, Wang Bo entered the capital in a car independently developed by Huaxia Group.

At this time, military control had already been implemented in the capital, and the discipline of the Huaxia National Defense Force was strict, and all the officers and men did not make mistakes, but some hooligans and gangsters in the capital took the opportunity to make trouble, smashing and looting in various ways, but the Huaxia National Defense Force reacted quickly and quickly suppressed the chaos, shooting 180 gangsters, and the situation in the capital gradually stabilized.

Before Wang Bo came to the Forbidden City under the escort of the guard division, Lin Dashan trotted over, saluted a military salute, and said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, Lin Dashan, the head of the independent regiment, report to you!" Please indicate"

Wang Bo raised his hand in return, looked up and down Lin Dashan for a while, and then said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in the past ten years, well, it's strong, and it's stable!" How is Hujia Village now? Is Xiu'er okay? How many children do you have? How old are they? ”

Lin Dashan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the villagers of Hujia Village have lived a good life under your care over the years, and Xiu'er is also very good now, his subordinates have two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is 8 years old, the younger son is 3 years old, and the daughter is 6 years old. ”

Wang Bo smiled: "Maybe it's twins, that's five children, haha, good, good!" He reached out and patted Lin Dashan lightly on the shoulder twice, then turned his head to look at the Forbidden City, and the smile on his face was also put away.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Tell the people inside that if they don't surrender within an hour, the Huaxia National Defense Force will immediately open fire and kill them!" Dare to resist, don't kill! ”

Lin Dashan's expression was solemn, "Yes!" He saluted, turned and ran away.

After the surrender letter was thrown into the Forbidden City, a large number of crying and scolding suddenly sounded inside.

Wang Bo ignored it, it was nothing more than the words of a chaotic minister and thief like Wang Mang and Cao Cao, no matter what he scolded, no matter how ugly the scolding was, anyway, the result would be set up after an hour.

The entourage staff officer found a table and chairs, set them up, and put the records made by the rebel army after entering the capital these days on the table, Wang Bo sat in the chair and looked at it carefully, looking at it, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and glanced at Lin Dashan not far away.

This kid really remembered Uncle Hu Liu's death, and after attacking the capital, he immediately found out all the Eight Banner disciples who killed Uncle Hu Liushu in the first place and shot them, but he did things in a measured manner, only killing those who participated in the year, and did nothing else out of the ordinary.

He remembered that he had been blackmailed by Prince Gong, and said in his heart: "The autumn queen has settled the account!" Not only will I get back what I lost, but I'm going to raid your home! Not only you, but all the property of the Manchu magnates has been stolen! Don't even think about running away! ”

Suddenly, a staff officer of the Chinese National Defense Force came to report that Li Hongzhang had asked to see him.

Wang Bo pondered for a moment, and he guessed that Li Hongzhang's intention to come here should be for the old woman Cixi and the cowardly emperor Guangxu in the Forbidden City. The feudal ideology of Yuzhong has been implanted in the bone marrow of these ancients, if Yuzhong is talked about in the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, maybe Wang Bo will meet Li Hongzhang.

But now this Manchu Dynasty is one of the dynasties that Wang Bo hates and hates the most, and to be foolish and loyal to this ignorant, backward, rotten and incompetent Manchu Tartar is simply a habit of being a slave, and not treating himself as a human being!

Although he used to think that Li Hongzhang was an out-and-out traitor and traitor, he had seen with his own eyes all kinds of situations in the Manchu Tartars in the past ten years, and he also understood that Li Hongzhang really had some unavoidable hardships.

Many times, Li Hongzhang was wiping his ass for the Manchu Tartars and carrying the black pot, but this did not make Wang Bo change his opinion of Li Hongzhang from then on and have a good impression. No matter what achievements this person made during his period that were beneficial to China, but your help to the Manchu Tartars is a stain on your life, and you can't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River!

Wang Bo said coldly: "No! Tell him that for the sake of Li Jingxuan is daughter, he will spare him for leaving the house without permission this time, and he will not make an example! Let him keep his duty and stay at home, otherwise, even if he is my father-in-law, he will be dealt with according to military law, and he must be shot if he should be shot! And also! The officers and soldiers guarding the Li Mansion were all punished with major demerits, and the rank of the officer was reduced by one level! ”

"Yes!" The staff officer looked grim and bowed.

Wang Bo looked at the Forbidden City and said to himself: "I still want to intercede for these Manchu remnants!" There must be no shortage of such fools in this world! Come! ”

A military staff officer ran over.

Wang Bo had a gloomy face, "Life!" From now on, but those who resist for the Manchu Tartars will be killed! ”

"Yes!"

The staff officer quickly stepped back to draft the order.

There are still ten minutes left, and the allotted hour will be over, and the Huaxia National Defense Force has already aimed all the artillery, and as soon as the time comes, they will immediately open fire and blast open the city gates!

At this moment, a human head appeared on the Forbidden City Wall and shouted in a trembling voice: "We...... Our Empress Dowager Lafayette has a will to ask for negotiations! ”

Wang Bo said coldly: "Tell him that this is a notice, and there is no negotiation!" It is necessary to come out immediately and unconditionally and surrender! 9 minutes and 30 seconds left! ”

The soldiers of the Huaxia National Defense Force responded loudly according to Wang Bo's original words.

The man quickly retracted his head, and it didn't take long for the crying in the Forbidden City to instantly increase.

When there was still a minute left, a sudden "squeak" sound sounded, and the gate of the Forbidden City slowly opened. A group of civil and military officials dressed in Manchu costumes stood in the cave of the city gate, one of them was wearing a dragon robe, presumably the cowardly emperor of Guangxu.

Behind this group of people stood a large number of people, and there was a chariot in the crowd, on which sat an old woman dressed gracefully and luxuriously, which should be the old woman Cixi.

All of them stood motionless in the cave of the city gate, as if they were being seen by a person.

Wang Bo smiled coldly, if he didn't understand these Chinese rules and bad habits before, he would definitely go over without thinking about it, but now it's different, and he thought: "It's all gone, and it's still on the shelf." ”

He said, "Is it time?" ”

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, there are 4 seconds left, 3, 2, 1, it's time!"

"Tell someone to shoot two shots at the moat! Remember not to hit the palace! Now these are all the property of our Huaxia political axe, and the half-fast bricks and tiles cannot be destroyed! ”

"Yes!"

After a while, there were two "bangs", followed by "boom", "boom!" Rumble! "There was a splash in the moat.

"Ah......h

Screams erupted in the gates of the Forbidden City, some scattered and fled, some squatted down with each other, and some lay on the ground with each other, all kinds of actions.

The cowardly Emperor Guangxu was protected by a group of people in the middle, and the old woman Cixi behind her was also pulled down, and a group of people surrounded her.

It took a long time for them to gather the people again, but everyone couldn't help but tremble, and looked out of the city gate in fear, and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look again.

The old lady Cixi seemed to say a few words, and then the cowardly Emperor Guangxu took a square box from the minister next to him, held it in both hands, and slowly walked out in front of his forehead. The old lady Cixi also sat back on the chariot and let people carry it out.

Wang Bo frowned and said, "Shoot two more shots at the moat in front of the city gate!" ”

"Bang! Boom! ”

"Whew! Shout! ”

"Boom! Rumble! ”

"Whoa......

"Ah......h

The water splashed, the crowd in front of them was a burst of chickens and dogs, and the old woman Cixi also fell off the chariot, no longer the graceful and luxurious appearance just now, and her wrinkled face was pale and colorless with fright.

This bombing almost exploded in front of this group of Manchu Tartars, the picture was full of sense, countless Manchu Eight Banners remnants were all so frightened that they couldn't stand up, and some lay on the ground and shouted in fear: "Spare your life, spare your life, please don't open fire, we surrendered......"

The old woman Cixi was helped up, her hand just put on the chariot, and "boom" twice, the water splashed again, and in an instant, these Manchu Tartars were soaked.

The old lady Cixi finally understood that this was because of the bombardment caused by the step she was sitting on, she raised her head and glared resentfully in the direction of Wang Bo for a long time, no longer approaching the step, and pushed away the support of others, and walked forward alone.

Wang Bo sneered, stare at me, stare at me while there is still time to stare at me, stare at me as much as you like! You, a dead old woman, are only greedy for comfort for yourself, ignoring China, allowing foreign powers to invade and occupy the territory of China, ceding this place today, and another place the next day, and ruining all the land that the Chinese ancestors had left with great difficulty.

Dead old woman, since you like to be greedy for comfort, then I won't let you get your wish, and there will be more means for you to experience the people's suffering in the future!

The cowardly Emperor Guangxu came to Wang Bo with a square box and presented the emperor's seal and the edict of abdication, officially expressing his unconditional surrender.

At this point, the Manchu Dynasty finally ended its slave rule over the Chinese people for more than 200 years. (To be continued.) )
