Those officers and soldiers also deserve to be taught a lesson. After this incident, it shouldn't be so deceitful anymore, right?

Dongfang took a good look at the cigarette incense, and saw her with a smiling expression, as if she was distracted. He asked the confusion in his heart: "Cigarette incense, what did you give them?" ”

Smoke Incense said honestly: "It's a painting." The person in the portrait is my elder brother. ”

Dongfang Hong's mind turned rapidly, and he suddenly thought that someone had deliberately let Chu Tiankuo enter the palace.

He didn't have time to say more, got on his horse, and said eagerly: "I'll go to the palace first." ”

Yanxiang and Shen Mei, before they could say anything, saw Dongfang Hong riding a horse and running away without a trace. The two of them said no more, and rode away in hot pursuit.

Chu Tiankuo, who was worried, after passing the city gate, quickly whipped up his horse all the way and went straight to the palace. Due to the restrictions on access to the city gates today, the streets of the city are not congested, so he traveled unimpeded.

There were few pedestrians and vendors on the streets, and the occasional loud laugh was heard, but it only lasted for a moment, and everything was dying in an instant.

He was concerned about the safety of his father, and in the face of the quietly approaching crisis, he didn't care, and still went his own way.

He had always been vigilant in his behavior, and he faintly sensed that something was wrong in his heart, as if a net was quietly approaching him. The palace is heavily guarded, it is a place of right and wrong, and for him, it is like a tiger's den in Longtan. However, even if he knew that it was the Longtan Tiger's Den, he had to break in.

He couldn't take care of much, but of course, he was confident that he could handle it all. He was sure that he would be able to enter the palace, and he was also sure that he would be able to get out of the palace. He felt that someone behind the scenes was manipulating all of this and helping him get into the palace. But what is the purpose of this man, he will see his father first.

For potential crises, he has a sense of smell. It's just that this can't get his attention.

The queen, a symbol of the king's domineering building, is a palace nestled in the trees, revealing a glazed tile roof, and the golden glazed tiles shine dazzlingly in the sun, just like a golden island.

Looking from afar, the red walls and yellow tiles, the golden roof of the palace, are full of antique atmosphere, which makes people feel solemn and solemn.

However, Chu Tiankuo couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation that 'once he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea'. The door, the wall, and the brick and tile all reveal a deserted and lonely atmosphere.

When you get closer, you will see two big red doors, with a sign hanging on the top of the door, surrounded by gold edges, and engraved with two eye-catching gold characters 'Noon Gate'.

There was a bunch of guards guarding the palace gate.

As far as Chu Tiankuo knows, the palace starts from the noon gate and ends at the dormitory of the harem concubines, in the shape of a tree; Some palaces can look at each other. Ouchi is heavily guarded, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and each palace must be guarded around the clock.

How well guarded was the ancient palace?

The ancient imperial palace, based on the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, how about the permanent guard force? How many people are guarding the Forbidden City on a normal basis, and what kind of guarding weapons are equipped? If the world's most elite special forces of 50 people, equipped with modern weapons, can they break into the Forbidden City and successfully behead the emperor?

Taking the Song Dynasty as an example, the Song Dynasty pursued a policy of strong cadres and weak branches, and incorporated the middle-aged and strong people in the army into the forbidden army, guarded the Beijing division, and those with relatively poor conditions were incorporated into the Xiang army and sent to various places. This was the early stage, and in the later period, the army was too numerous to be incorporated into the forbidden army, so they were rotated in various places, mainly to prevent the localities from holding military power. Although it caused the problem of weak Song, in general, it was still suppressed by the locality. At this time, there is no such thing as the forbidden army and the box army, collectively referred to as the box forbidden army.

There is a table in the high school history book that in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the number of troops in the Northern Song Dynasty was 300,000, of which more than 100,000 were in the Gongwei Beijing Division. In the later period, the total number of troops was more than 1.5 million, and at this time it was time for the army to rotate in various places. said that Lin Chong is really not boasting for the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and the army he has taught gunsmithing is only afraid that there are 1 million.

If I had to say that there were those who defended the palace, I personally tend to say that there are not many of them. I have to mention one more here, three heroes and five righteousness. It mentions that there is a county seat, how many people are there in the city guard? There are no hundreds, and together with the old soldiers who can't walk fast, there are only thirty people. I'm afraid it's a few miles less than the officials in the yamen.

In addition, it is necessary not to mention what really happened in history. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, hundreds of Tianlijiao peasants entered the imperial palace. Not millions, but hundreds. It is estimated that the army guarding the palace is already rotten. It was about these hundreds of peasants who didn't even have a decent weapon, and the Forbidden City didn't even leave any traces of this battle.

By the way, Mr. Lao She's father was a guard of the forbidden army who defended the palace, and when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the city, he died in a street battle. His father was one of the few people in the Eight Banners who could ride a horse and shoot arrows. Dare to fight in the streets, it should be considered elite. In fact, there are not many people, they all change shifts every few hours, and in the huge Forbidden City, there may be only one or two thousand people on duty. After all, they couldn't go deep inside, just guard a few gates and patrol the city walls.

If 50 special forces are placed in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, it is possible to behead the emperor, and if you kill all the people at the city gate, and then eliminate the patrol guards, there may be a gap to complete the beheading. After all, the special forces were still too advanced for the ancients. But there is one section, that is, can you really kill dozens of neatly draped men?

He looked up at the sky, and it was late afternoon.

In the late autumn evening, the clouds in the sky are beautiful and colorful: some are like spring flowers blooming; Some are like beasts of prey; Some of them are even more like colorful birds, reflected in the clear Huanjiang River, which is already very beautiful. And there is a flock of ducks that return late, gathered into a triangle, on the colored water waves, slowly paddle towards their destination, the river is divided into two paths,

The water waves ploughed by each duck spread out to the left and right, and slowly poured into the grass by the river, giving people an indescribable sense of tranquility and beauty; Looking across the river, the farmhouse under the Jinji Mountain on the opposite bank, the cooking smoke curls, rising, the cattle and sheep in the village moo, the golden rooster sings in the evening, the riverside, the village girls and village women, clusters, groups, while laughing, while washing, I look at the railing, intoxicated by the beautiful water town landscape painting in front of me.

Dusk in late autumn always comes quickly, and before the moisture evaporated by the sun clears the mountains, the sun sets into the western mountains. So, the wind in the valley carried a heavy coolness, driving away the white mist, and swung down the mountain, and the shadow of the mountain peak fell on the village more quickly, and the shadow became thicker and thicker, gradually blending with the night.

The western sky, from the dense clouds, emanated a few patches of rose-colored clouds, thin and clear, and there was a star in the east, which appeared and disappeared from time to time. There were several mud huts in the field, and there was a faint twilight on it, gently brushing on it.
