The general watched as four huge floating objects floated near the Yongding Gate Tower, and slowly walked towards the front gate.He couldn't figure out what those four things were, and hesitated to report to his superiors, thinking that these things were floating so high that he could see them not only from the city tower, but also in the city.Even if he doesn't report it, such a fresh play will definitely attract everyone to come out to see the excitement, and Lord Zuo Ling will know.He thought well, not only Zuo Ling knew, but also Zilharang, who stayed in his palace, knew.Just after breakfast, I refilled a bowl of Xinyang Maojian, and before I had time to drink, Zilharang was reported by his generals.He hurriedly walked out of his study and came to the courtyard to see what was new and strange his residence was near today's Wangfujing, not far from the front door.When he came to the courtyard, he put his hand on the pergola and looked up, and saw that the four things were floating past the front gate and the Zhengyang gate, and drifted towards the Daqing gate.With his pedantic and backward brain, it is impossible for him to think that this is a weapon invented by Wang Shuo to pit him.He also instructed his subordinates to inform Qin Tianjian and ask the historian to record this vision, which may indicate some variables.As for whether this vision foreshadows a blessing or a curse for the Qing Dynasty, it is really hard to say now, and after a while, I have to call the attendant of Qin Tianjian over and let him judge.This is not a good thing, but if you let an ancient person know that this is a hot air balloon, a big killing weapon used by Wang Shuo to burn his grain, then it will be difficult for him.Just as I was pondering this, I heard a faint explosion in the direction of the front door.Zilharang was shocked, there was food stored there, but nothing could happen, and nothing could happen.The guards of the grain are the five thousand imperial forest soldiers left behind, the Ouchi guards, composed of pure Manchu people, all members of the royal family, after the heroes, they are absolutely loyal to the court.At this time, the deputy commander of the Ouchi Xiao Cavalry Battalion, who temporarily served as the grain platform, and the commander of the Nine Gates, Ji Bilong, came running.That look, his face is full of black and gray, like a ghost drawing, and he is about to become a ghost.He didn't care about etiquette, he walked directly through the foyer, ran to the courtyard where Zilharang was standing, and shouted: "Lord, it's not good, it's not good" Jilharang was startled, looked at his appearance, and realized that something had happened to the grain.He asked loudly: "What's wrong" Ji Bilong breathlessly said: "Okay, there are four big monsters floating in the sky, after the Zhengyang Gate, the height is suddenly reduced, and many shiny things fall from above, all of which fly to the corridor where we store food, and that thing is a big fire on the ground, and the fire will explode in a while, and the sparks will fly around, fly where and where will be on fire, this time, our granary is all on fire" Now Zilharang was anxious, and shouted: "You hurry up and find someone to put out the fire, What are you doing here?"
said Kubilon: "I got all the people to put out the fire, but this fire is too evil, the more you water it, the more you water, the more happy it will be, all the granaries are lit, the fire is soaring, people dare not approach directly" Hearing this, Zilharang's body shook twice, and he almost didn't fall to the ground on the spot.He hurriedly ordered the house slaves to prepare their horses, went out of the gate of the palace, mounted their mounts, followed by Curb Pilon, and galloped in the direction of Chengtianmen.Before arriving at the Donghua Gate, I saw the corridor in front of the Chengtian Gate from a distance, which was already full of fire, and a sea of fire Jierharang directly entered the Forbidden City from the Donghua Gate, and then ran directly to the Chengtian Gate along the avenue paved with white marble.Coming out of the Chengtian Gate, not far in front of you is the Langguo Royal Road where the grain is stored.Inside the corridor, the smoke is billowing and the fire is filled, standing here in Chengtianmen, you can feel the heat brought by the fire.Zilharang hurriedly ordered all the soldiers who were not on duty on the city wall to be transferred, and it didn't take long for them to put out the fire together, and tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the entire perimeter of the corridor.Under the command of the generals, they lined up in long formations to draw water from all the wells and moats in the vicinity, and then passed it to Langguo, where the soldiers poured the water into the fire.It was a strange fire, that all the water on the earth was a river, and it could not be extinguished, and the fire burned on the water, and the flow of the water fueled the fire, and the fire floated on the water, and flowed towards all the granaries, and set all the granaries on fire.This grain is the lifeblood of everyone in the besieged city of Beijing, not only Jierharang is anxious, but all the generals are anxious.Many generals drew their swords and forced their subordinates to rush into the fire to grab the unburned grain.Since this fire can't be extinguished, let's grab it out, and count as much as you can.But the fire was too big, and it was blocked by walls on all sides, and the temperature inside the corridor was too high for people to approach.Many soldiers were forced by the generals with knives, and they were splashed with water and soaked quilts and rushed into the fire, but they never came out, and they were all burned alive in the corridor.At this time, I don't know who shouted loudly: "This is the three-flavor real fire, don't be afraid of watering, everyone hurry up to get soil to press the fire" The three-flavor real fire is not the fire that only the gods can have, what does it mean, this fire is put by the gods The gods are helping the Northwest Army to destroy our morale, doesn't this damage our morale at this time, I can't manage so much at this time, as long as I can extinguish this fire.The big guy hurriedly looked for tools for digging the soil, and when the tools were gathered and the soil was dug, it was in vain.Why, the surrounding temperature is too high, people can't get close at all, and before they can scatter the soil, the clothes and hair on their bodies will catch first.Then you can also be saved, this food is the lifeblood of the big guys, everyone put people in soaked quilts, rushed to the fire to fill the soil, this person can't hold on, so change to another person.Just moved forward slowly, and when he approached the granary where the grain was stored, the big guy saw that he didn't need to save it, it was almost over, and it was estimated that if he didn't save the fire, he would be extinguished for a while.The fire in the corridor burned from the beginning of the morning to the end of the afternoon, and finally gradually extinguished.Zilharang sat on the tower of the Chengtian Gate, watching the fire burn but there was nothing he could do.His heart was already burning more intensely than this burning fire.Without food, more than 200,000 troops, it will not take ten days to kill each other, a mess, what to defend the city, and how to delay the Northwest Army's march to Liaodong and retreat into the city, he almost carefully considered all the defensive measures to confirm that there are no major loopholes.Not surprisingly, within a year, Wang Shuo didn't want to break through this impregnable Beijing City, but he didn't calculate it, and what was considered the safest place had an accident instead, which became his weakness:
