"Lord, now that the capital has been broken, the world is settled, and there are less than 10,000 imperial forest soldiers left in the Forbidden City, and some guards with knives in front of the palace, so there is no need to worry at all. Zhou Peigong stood beside Wei Xiaobao, his body trembled, and his tone was filled with great excitement.
"Kangxi in the Forbidden City, there has been no news from there?" Wei Xiaobao asked in a deep voice.
"No, since that day on the city wall, meeting with the lord, the Qing emperor Kangxi, has not appeared again, has not appeared, the lord, his subordinates think that without further ado, they should immediately occupy the Forbidden City, and then inform the Han people of the world about this. Zhou Peigong excitedly proposed.
"Hehe, Pei Gong, you go to appease the people in the city and deal with the matter of surrendering troops, I will personally lead people to capture the Forbidden City, and between Kangxi and Kangxi, it is time to make the final decision. Wei Xiaobao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking in the direction of the Forbidden City Palace, and said in a somewhat complicated tone.
Zhou Peigong's body shook when he heard this, and he immediately said respectfully: "Yes, lord, my subordinates obey orders!"
Not long after, Zhou Peigong led the order to retreat, Wei Xiaobao led 50,000 elite soldiers, towards the Forbidden City Palace, just arrived at the North Palace Gate, suddenly there was a burst of sad crying in front of him, and the bell full of sorrow came out, this sound, like a death knell, made Wei Xiaobao's body tremble.
"Quickly investigate, what's going on?" Wei Xiaobao's face sank, as if he had thought of something, and immediately a soldier broke into the Forbidden City, and after a while, he grabbed several imperial guards and asked.
"The Empress Dowager and the Emperor committed suicide in the Taimiao, Lord Duolongdo, the head of the imperial guards, and hundreds of civil and military officials, are now outside the Taimiao, Lord Wei, this is none of our business, we are just the imperial guards, we have to obey orders, you let us go, we still have a family, and besides, Lord Wei, have you forgotten? Back then, we were still in the Forbidden City, gambling on dice together, calling brothers and brothers, let us go. When a few guards saw Wei Xiaobao and the 50,000 elite soldiers behind him, they were so frightened that they immediately confessed to him.
"What? Kangxi, committed suicide!" Wei Xiaobao's body shook slightly, a touch of complexity flashed in his eyes, he frowned and looked at the guards, opened his mouth with some sighs, and finally sighed: "Hey, let them go, pass my order, mobilize 100,000 troops, surround the Forbidden City, no one can run out, 50,000 elite soldiers, follow me to the Qing Court Taimiao to have a look." ”
Wei Xiaobao naturally wouldn't have the same knowledge as these imperial guards, that was meaningless!
"Yes, my lord!" Immediately, the generals under his command received the order and quickly retreated.
So not long after, an army of 100,000 was mobilized to besiege the Forbidden City, and Wei Xiaobao led 50,000 elite soldiers to break into the palace, follow the familiar road, and go straight to the direction of Taimiao. His army passed all the way here, and countless imperial guards, eunuchs, and palace maids all retreated, trembling with fear, and they all wanted to escape from the palace gate, running around one by one.
"As long as you don't make trouble, you will still be on an errand in the Forbidden City in the future, the 100,000 troops outside are guarding the Forbidden City, and if you want to escape from the palace gate, it is impossible?" Wei Xiaobao looked at the panicked and frightened eunuchs, palace maids and imperial guards, sighed slightly in his heart, and gave another order.
Suddenly, among the 50,000 elite soldiers, some were divided and scattered in the palace, looking for the palace maids and eunuchs who ran around, under Wei Xiaobao's order, many soldiers gathered the captured palace maids and eunuchs in a huge square, in addition to sending troops to guard, there was no soldier at all, killing innocents indiscriminately, seeing those beautiful palace maids, slaves and maids, and there were no soldiers, they dared to be lustful, maybe they had lust, but strict military discipline made them dare not be presumptuous.
"Ah! The soldiers and horses of Yangzhou City are indeed the rebels, I, I thought that these soldiers would be against us, what about that?" some beautiful palace maids, frightened, whispered.
Gradually, after they found out that as long as they were obedient, the Yangzhou army really wouldn't do anything to them, so they finally reluctantly settled down and waited quietly. For these eunuchs, palace maids, slaves, and even some imperial guards, it makes no difference who is the master in the Forbidden City.
fled in a panic before, but he was just afraid of Wei Xiaobao's army and went on a killing spree!
"This time, I'm afraid it's going to change the dynasty, when Wei Dutong was the head of the imperial guards, why didn't I see that he was so powerful? I knew that I had to have a good relationship with him when I said anything, hey!" some eunuchs and imperial guards lamented and regretted.
"Well, this Wei Dutong is so young, he has created such a hegemony, after the change of dynasty, he will definitely become the emperor, if he can be taken a fancy to, maybe I can become a concubine?" Hearing the discussions of those eunuchs and imperial guards, some beautiful palace maids who had calmed down a little brightened their eyes, and looked at Wei Xiaobao, who led the army and went straight to the Taimiao, and said secretly with a blushing face.
Wei Xiaobao here, he didn't know the thoughts of many eunuchs and palace maids, he heard the news of Kangxi's death at this time, his mood was very heavy, and he soon came to the Taimiao, only to see that outside the royal temple, there were many civil and military officials crying, and there were less than 10,000 imperial forest soldiers, as well as hundreds of imperial guards under the leadership of the chief guard Duolong, and everyone looked heavy and desperate.
"Wei Xiaobao, it's not good, he led the troops to kill in!" suddenly one of the guards exclaimed.
Duolong and the civil and military officials were taken aback, and immediately looked in one direction, and sure enough, they saw Wei Xiaobao leading 50,000 elite soldiers and killing them, and the elite soldiers showed fierce eyes one by one, guarding Wei Xiaobao's side, and suddenly everyone's faces changed greatly, and the hundred officials trembled, and they didn't dare to speak.
"Get out of the way, the general trend of the Qing court has gone, those who surrender will not be killed, I, Wei Xiaobao, will promise that no matter whether it is Manchu or Han, it will be treated equally. Wei Xiaobao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"Everyone surrender, have you forgotten what the emperor said before he died?" Suddenly, at this time, Duolong roared and said: "The emperor said, Wei Xiaobao is righteous and thin, and he will do what he says, as long as everyone surrenders, the whole family can be saved, and the emperor said that he did not keep his promise back then and dealt with Wei Xiaobao, which led to the current situation, and he also suffered by himself, my Qing Dynasty has run out of energy, everyone should stop making senseless resistance, surrender." ”
Hearing Duolong's roar, he had to kneel down while looking at Wei Xiaobao's command, the powerful army, many imperial guards, royal forest troops, and hundreds of officials.
"Oh!Doron, what else did he say before leaving?" Wei Xiaobao walked over, looked at Doron there, looked at Doron with a moving expression, and asked. He didn't expect that before Kangxi died, he also helped him persuade the civil and military officials to surrender, and the last remaining Imperial Forest Army, which surprised him.
"The emperor left a holy decree for Prince Kang, who is commanding the army outside, and a secret letter, let me hand it over to Wei Dutong to you, give. As soon as Duolong heard the inquiry, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took out a holy decree from his sleeve and a secret letter, and respectfully handed it to Wei Xiaobao.
"Oh!" Wei Xiaobao took it, opened the holy decree and read it roughly, which probably meant that the decree was sent to Prince Kang, so that he should not resist stubbornly, and obediently lead the Qing soldiers to surrender.
"Kangxi? Hey~~~~~. Seeing this, Wei Xiaobao sighed, shook his head slightly, and then opened the secret letter left by Kangxi, and when he read it carefully, his expression became more and more complicated.
――――――
Xiao Xuanzi book, Xiao Guizi personally opened
One thought, and to the brother against each other, Xiao Xuanzi was defeated, I even found that from childhood to adulthood, whether it was fighting, wrestling, or martial arts achievements, I never won you, hehe, we are brothers, when I turned against each other, I did not use the imperial power to completely defeat you once, but I didn't expect that the battle of the Forbidden City, after all, did not leave you, and the two of us cut off their robes and broke their righteousness.
At that moment, Xiao Xuanzi's heart was regretting, but he understood that everything was irreparable! A few days ago, you came with an agreement, and 600,000 soldiers came to the city, and I knew that I couldn't hide from what I should come, Xiao Guizi, I knew that when you saw me, you couldn't get rid of the killer, so you decided on your own.
If there is an afterlife, I will still be your brother! Xiao Guizi, I die, everything will be over, I hope you can be kind to the Manchurians, just like I told you back then, the Manchu family, create a prosperous world, I am not a successful monarch, not a successful friend, I hope you can be.
If there is an afterlife, I am still a little Xuanzi
――――――
Kangxi's letter was very short, not too long, but Wei Xiaobao read it for a long time, his face was heavy, with a hint of complexity and sadness in his heart, and said: "Is it an afterlife? This is really not necessarily, maybe there is really a reincarnation? Perhaps, he is in the land of Kyushu, I will meet your reincarnation again, but I don't know, at that time, can you remember me."
You and I are brothers, there is a grudge, if there is an afterlife, I am still a little Guizi, hehe!"
When he said this, Wei Xiaobao's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and suddenly the internal force in his hand moved, and suddenly the secret letter in his hand turned into fragments. After taking a deep breath, his face was serious, and he ordered: "Come on, take these officials into custody for the time being, and when the people in the city are stable and everything is calm, after cleaning the streets inside and outside the Forbidden City, the city lord will naturally send these officials down." ”
"Yes, my lord!" Suddenly, countless soldiers and generals received orders and imprisoned hundreds of civil and military officials.
"Wait, Duolong stays! Let me ask you, Wu Sangui's son, Wu Yingxiong, how is it now? But he is still locked up in the prison?" Wei Xiaobao looked at Duolong in front of him, opened his mouth in a deep voice, and asked.
"It's true that he is still in prison, for several years, he has not been released, and the emperor has never issued an order to kill him, even if Wu Sangui rebelled, he did not do anything. With a heavy face, Duolong looked at Wei Xiaobao and said in a deep voice, carefully observing Wei Xiaobao's reaction.
In the past, when Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi did not turn against each other, Duolong and Wei Xiaobao were still brothers, drinking and gambling together, but now, he doesn't have the courage to do so. He felt that when facing Wei Xiaobao now, there was a kind of pressure that seemed to exist naturally and was from the superior.
"It's so good, release Wu Yingxiong and let him return to his original Efu Mansion, but the name is changed, it's called Proton Mansion, send troops to watch him, don't let him run away. Wei Xiaobao said.
"Yes, my lord!" Immediately, there were soldiers, escorting Doron and heading towards the Ouchi Heavenly Prison.
In this way, five days have passed, in the capital, inside and outside the Forbidden City, when the general stability, Wei Xiaobao broke through the capital, and the news that Kangxi and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang committed suicide in the Taimiao also spread all over the world, and countless people were shocked inexplicably, and the forces of the state capitals around the country were all shocked and bowed their heads one after another.
In the imperial study of the Forbidden City, Wei Xiaobao looked at Zhou Peigong in front of him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Now that the Forbidden City has generally settled down, I have already passed the book by flying pigeons, and my fate is to Xin Shu and the Living Buddha to lead the masters, and all the family members in the Yangzhou Mansion will be escorted to the capital, calculate the time, it should not take a few days to arrive, so you have someone to arrange for them to bring them safely into the palace." ”
The people Wei Xiaobao said were naturally Su Quan, Fang Yi, Jianning and other women. In the past few days, he himself has been very busy, and he knows that running a country is not easy, especially now that he has just pacified the capital, Wei Xiaobao has a lot of things, and there is no way to go back to Yangzhou in person, so he can only let Gui Xinshu, Living Buddha and others escort them all the way to the capital.
"Yes, lord!" Zhou Peigong shook his body when he heard this, and immediately nodded respectfully and said.
At the same time, when the news of Wei Xiaobao's destruction of the Forbidden City spread all over the world, there was another force that was about to move, and that was the Zheng family in Taiwan, but for the sake of safety, the Zheng family still retreated to Taiwan, but they ordered the forces in the Central Plains, Heaven and Earth Society, to take action.
Between the capital and Yangzhou, not too far away in a stronghold, there are a number of masters of the Heaven and Earth Society, impressively listed, including the chief helmsman Chen Jinnan, as well as the various martial arts alliance sects attached to the Heaven and Earth Society, they aim to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and now Wei Xiaobao has entered the Forbidden City, which can be said to have helped everyone a lot, but although they admire it in their hearts, they may not be grateful.
Because many of the people who joined the camp of the Heaven and Earth Society still had their hearts set on the Ming Dynasty, Wei Xiaobao was like the Qing court and Wu Sangui in the eyes of many of them, and he was also a thief and needed to be dealt with.
Unless Wei Xiaobao works hard and fights the country, and gives them the so-called descendants of the Ming Dynasty, or the Taiwanese Zheng family behind the Heaven and Earth Society, they will be happy and really stable.
But this kind of thing, just think about it, you know that it is impossible, so everyone discusses.
Wei Xiaobao's 600,000 male soldiers conquered the Forbidden City, forced Kangxi and the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang to death, and returned the Han people to the rivers and mountains. But everyone understands that it is impossible for him to return the throne, Jiangshan Sheji, to the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, so I, Chen, recently received an order from Taiwan's Prince Zheng to let me wait to carry out operations in the Central Plains. That is, it is up to us martial arts people to take action, seize this Wei Xiaobao's family, and use this as a threat to force Wei Xiaobao and order him to support the descendants of the Ming royal family and become the new emperor, this trick may work.
Hey, to be honest, acting like this is really despicable and shameless, against the morality of the rivers and lakes, and Chen is also ashamed, but this matter is related to my Daming country, related to my Han family's world, and it is an order from the prince, but it really makes me embarrassed, and now I am looking for everyone, just to listen to opinions?"
Chen Jinnan's face was a little complicated, looking at everyone present, he said with a shy face.
"What? Hey, the Zheng family in Taiwan is crazy and actually gives such an order?" Wang Wushan Situ Bolei, as a member of the Heaven and Earth Society Martial Arts Alliance, was immediately furious when he heard Chen Jinnan's words.
"How feasible is this?" the others were silent, pondering.
Some people even had a little bit of emotion, Situ Boley's heart was furious, Chen Jinnan's face was even more complicated, and he secretly said in his heart: "The surname of the country treats me like a mountain, this time, since the prince has a life, even if my Chen Jinnan is discredited, thousands of people point to me, and hundreds of millions of people scold me, do you want it?"
Thinking like this, he regained his composure, and the shame on his face actually disappeared?
