599 The army enters the city
The people of the late Qing Dynasty had never seen such a desperate army. Even the British and French coalition forces did not fight like this six years ago. Bullets shot up like heavy rain and suppressed the Eight Banners soldiers on the city. They screamed bitterly. Bottles of strange grenades exploded on the red-clothed cannon, and bright flames soared into the sky.
The flying claws dragging more than ten meters long rope were thrown to the top of the city, and countless soldiers climbed up. No one had any hesitation during the entire battle. All the soldiers' courage to fight was something that the people of the late Qing Dynasty dared not imagine.
"Oh my God, how much does Xiao Letian pay for this group of soldiers? This is really a God of Wealth riding a black tiger..."
No one can understand what Xiao Letian and this army with ideals think. The hearts of people who are imprisoned by the iron cage of feudal thinking cannot understand the minds of the free.
"Breakthrough...our brothers have broken through..." Thousands of people shouted together. In everyone's sight, the blue figure had already climbed to the top of the city through a long rope, followed by the thick fireworks blown up by grenades on the top of the city.
The morale of the Eight Banners soldiers stationed at Guangqu Gate completely collapsed at this moment. They had never seen this kind of fighting style in their lives. Gatlin barrage suppressed, the snipers cleared at a fixed point, the grenades were thrown up like they didn't have money, and finally there was a sky fire that could burn on the water.
In their hearts, these blue figures no longer belong to the category of human beings. They are just a group of flying soldiers and generals.
"Run... the prince can't stop Xiao Letian. Why are we going to die for nothing... Run." With a loud shout, the soldiers in Guangqu Gate threw away their weapons and turned around and fled. There were even several small trampling incidents.
After a while, the city gate of Guangqu Gate was opened. New troops who had been waiting to enter the city rushed into the city. Then the city gate of the city had also been opened, and the streets of Beijing finally appeared in front of everyone.
"Get into the imperial city and save the queen mother, and let the new army clear the king's side." The soldiers gathered in the urn city with slogans. Although there was the streets of Beijing in front of them, no one stepped inward.
At this moment, glory belongs only to Xiao Letian, and the only one who enters the city is Xiao Letian.
"Prince Chun, look at the trouble of this matter. In the end, I didn't find the new imperial decree. What's the imperial decree?" Xiao Letian did not forget to tease Yihuan at this time, and the prince's face was as gray as if dead.
"How is this possible? This is impossible... Ci'an would not be so ignorant of the general, she would not ignore the Qing Dynasty..." Yihuan was already hysterical.
With a squeak, Xiao Letian laughed, "It's true that it's the logic of robbers. You can kill others at will, and you don't allow them to resist. When you see that you can't beat them, you will use a moral hat to suppress others. Just bully honest people like you, and the Qing Dynasty will not be better."
After saying that, Xiao Letian urged the war horses and slowly moved forward in the alley formed by the new army. At that moment, the new army was completely excited, "Enter the city...Enter the city...Enter the city..." The crowd shouted rhythmically.
The war horse slowly moved forward and broke through the long dark city gate hole. Xiao Letian reached out to touch the wet city bricks, and imagined scenes appeared in his mind, the ancient city of Yandi, Jinzhongdu, Yuandadu, and then the imperial city of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
How many power conquests are being staged here, how many wars are breaking out here, this is a capital that is poured out with human blood.
"The most difficult test has come. Let's see if I, Xiao Letian, can pass the test." Xiao Letian secretly competed in his heart.
"Let's go, brothers... we're going to Beijing." Xiao Letian urged his war horse to jump into the streets of Sijiu City, and there was a rush of people behind him.
When they had just rushed into the streets of Beijing, the scene in front of them suddenly shocked everyone. They never expected that Beijing City had completely fallen into riots and the whole city was in an uproar.
The streets and alleys were filled with people running wildly. The defeated soldiers rushed into the shop to grab all the goods they could like, and even thick smoke rose into the sky in the distance.
"Damn, someone is fishing in troubled waters." Wang Huaiyuan, who rushed up from behind, could see the clue at a glance. He was engaged in intelligence work, and inciting the people was their best.
"Prime Minister, look, someone in the crowd deliberately spreads panic..."
Xiao Letian also discovered that in the places with the most crowds, there were always people pulling their necks and shouting, "Bear, the imperial army was defeated, Andhai brought more than 10,000 Eight Banners army, and was killed by more than 1,000 people in Xiao Letian. Xiao Letian has already attacked..."
"Run, then Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea will mobilize the sky fire to fight. The fire cannot be extinguished even the heavy rain... The court can no longer fight him. Let's go out of the city and hide..."
Various rumors began to spread in the city, and the people with timid and superstitious information were swept by the terror atmosphere and joined the fleeing army.
"No wonder Ci'an's new imperial edict was not revealed. Beijing City has been completely in chaos. Where can I maintain public order on the streets? Who did this? Is it ours?" Xiao Letian asked.
"No, absolutely not. Those people avoided us when they saw us, which means they belong to other forces... But it doesn't matter. They made such a fuss to us, at least it disrupted the transmission of information from the Qing Dynasty, which is a good thing."
"Well, don't worry about them for now. The more chaotic Beijing city is, the more anxious the court will be. This will be beneficial to our negotiations... Remember, look back and check the identities of these people... and leave."
Xiao Letian has no time to calm the chaos now. His only goal is the Forbidden City, which is the center of power of the Qing Dynasty.
The army entered Beijing from Guangqu Gate and headed straight to Chongwen Gate diagonally northward. At this time, there were only more than 200 timid nine-gate admiral soldiers in Chongwen Gate, fighting with spears one by one. When they saw the blue crowd rushing towards them, they turned their heads and fled.
Chongwenmen went down without fighting, and the army continued to rush across the streets of Dongcheng and headed straight to the Qing Gate. There were many soldiers along the way, including the Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers, but without exception, everyone fled when they saw Xiao Letian and the others, and ran faster than the rabbit.
No matter how powerful the shell is, it cannot compare to the power of rumors, especially this kind of superstitious message, which is a heavy weapon to defeat people's hearts.
"This is the basis of the Qing Dynasty's rule. Everyone has seen it. It's ridiculous and a pity that tear the court's disguise.
Prince Chun, who was chasing behind Xiao Letian's butt, had a shameful face like a monkey's butt. The Qing Dynasty's problems were all clearly seen by Xiao Letian.
The new army did not encounter any resistance since entering the city. It was not until people saw the Qing Gate that they were stopped by a strange force.
The Qing Gate is the current location of the President’s Memorial Hall in Tiananmen Square. The north of this city gate is Tiananmen Square, and after Tiananmen Square is the Forbidden City. The army has arrived here and is also the core of Beijing City.
A group of "army" in long gowns had gathered outside the Qing Dynasty gate. The old guy actually gathered Qingliu and Tai students in the city, and even a group of young children who were seven or eight years old.
The old man was wearing a white robe, as if he was filial piety to himself. A Hanlin behind him held the tablet of the Supreme Master in his hand and was glaring at Xiao Letian.
"A bold and crazy priest, I didn't get off my horse and bow down when I saw the tablet of the Supreme Saint Master." More than 400 Confucian scholars shouted collectively, and the momentum was really great.
The war horse under Xiao Letian seemed to be shocked by the momentum of the Supreme Master. He kept retreating and Xiao Letian clamped the horse's belly hard before he could stabilize the war horse.
Xiao Letian, who was urged to walk to Weng Tonghe, looked at him from a high place on the horse's back, with his eyes extremely arrogant and rude, but he didn't say anything, and just looked at them contemptuously.
Xiao Letian's attitude angered the Confucian scholars present and shouted, "Drop off... and salute to the Supreme Master, get off, you are rebellious."
Weng Tonghe's hands were trembling with anger, "You, you... don't even take the saint seriously? Are you pretending to be human hearts, the heart of beasts..."
More than 400 Confucian scholars were angry. They surrounded them and wanted to beat Xiao Letian. They firmly believed that with the protection of the aura of saints, no one dared to be rude.
Weng Tonghe looked at Xiao Letian coldly, "You dare to try to attack us. If you have a habit, you will kill us all, and then you will become a rebellious in the eyes of Confucian scholars all over the world, and you are a beast..."
"Don't you want to rebel? By then, no scholar will follow you. You will always be a tyrant, just a Dong Zhuo or the like..."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian laughed, and tears flowed out of his laughter. "You... say you are idiots, it's really not unfair to you at all. You have been spoiled for thousands of years... hahaha."
How could Xiao Letian not laugh? No matter how dynasties change in China for thousands of years, this group of literati who had mastered knowledge had never fallen. Even the most barbaric Yuan Dynasty had to arrange a group of official positions for these people.
This is a group of monopoly knowledge. Although the Confucian clans had declined after the Song Dynasty, knowledge was still not accessible to every public. Scholars themselves formed an elite group and could even confront the imperial power.
They knew that no matter which emperor came to power, they needed this group of people to help govern the world, and they had never heard of a big-headed soldier who could govern the world.
That's what Weng Tonghe thought. In his eyes, even if you, Xiao Letian, rebel, you have to treat me kindly, otherwise none of the scholars in the world will work hard for you, and your dynasty will be over when the time comes.
But Xiao Letian's arrogant smile just now made him feel a little overwhelmed. How could he smile so confidently? Is he really not afraid of offending scholars all over the world?
"Why are you laughing at? Get off the horse immediately and salute the saint, evil beast..."
"Why should I ritual? Confucius is your saint, not my saint, why should I ritual?"
"Ah, shameless." A sentence ignited the anger in everyone's hearts, and the four hundred Confucian scholars were angry. "Shameless, you dare to insult the saint, beat him up... and pull him off..."
