After three days of looting in the city, Wang Yinlin and the other two elders finally issued a notice to reassure the people and ordered the whole army not to harass the people anymore.The men and horses of all walks of life have assembled in the outer city, preparing to attack the nine gates of the inner city.First occupy the Xuanwu Gate, Zhengyang Gate, and Chongwen Gate in the inner city, and then occupy the other city gates.Xuanwu Gate, Zhengyang Gate, and Chongwen Gate, which are wrapped in the outer city, are the dividing line between the inner and outer cities.After entering these three gates, most of them are full of people.The infantry army led the yamen garrison, and the commander was the famous commander of the nine gates.The nine gates of the inner city are defended by more than 20,000 Eight Banner Army and Green Battalion soldiers, which is basically the same as the defense of the outer city, and each gate is about 3,000 soldiers bravely garrisoned.The Boxers' policy of eating large households was very popular with the low-level people in the capital, and they also shared a lot of benefits in the riots.When the Boxers wanted to attack the inner city, thousands of people in the capital immediately responded.He also helped carry the ladder and led the way.They all want to take advantage of the chaos after taking the inner city.At the same time, the Boxers also launched a psychological offensive.shouted to the Han Eight Banners in the inner city that as long as they were willing to surrender and no longer follow the Manchus to do evil, they could spare their lives after the city was broken.This trick really worked, and before the war, half of the Han Eight Banners Army quit.The Boxers also used the method of digging tunnels and planting gunpowder under the city walls, which soon collapsed the Zhengyang Gate in the middle.The Eight Banners Army stationed on the city wall abandoned the city and fled, and the Boxers under the city climbed the Zhengyang Gate, broke through from the middle, attacked from two sides, and soon took the Xuanwu Gate and the Chongwen Gate.The gate of the inner city was opened, and the Boxer soldiers soon all broke through.The Eight Banners Army stationed at the other city gates also quickly abandoned the city and fled, and the Admiral of the Nine Gates committed suicide in the palace.The inner city is different from the poverty of the outer city, and most of them are the residences of high-ranking officials and dignitaries.The Boxer soldiers were like wolves entering the sheepfold, dazzled with excitement, and immediately began to loot women and silver.After the battle, the streets were filled with smoke and depression.All the people in the capital were a little incredibly confused, and they couldn't believe that the Qing Dynasty was over.After three days of routine looting, the Boxers completed the siege of the Forbidden City and prepared to launch the final assault on the throne.The battle situation in the capital of Rehe Summer Resort soon reached Cixi's hands, and Yi and Ronglu knelt tremblingly in the main hall, not daring to catch a breath."
You all see, how you promised this palace before.The Eight Banners Army, which was left behind in the capital, was abandoned by the Boxers and fled.The imperial court spends a lot of money to support you every year, and you are all fed to the dog's belly The two of you swear to me will cause a fight between the Huaxing Army and the Boxers.But now, Huaxingjun has not taken a step forward in Dagukou.You tell the palace, what is the reason why the imperial court made such a big sacrifice and gave up the capital" Cixi slammed the military report in front of the two, looking at the two people in the palace, her eyes almost burst into flames.Prince Gong's bad idea is really stealing chickens and rice.Not only did it not let the Huaxing Army and the Boxers fight, but instead harmed hundreds of thousands of Manchus in Beijing, allowing the Boxers to fight and toss."
The Queen Mother forgives the sins, and the minions made mistakes in judgment, which caused the court to suffer humiliation.The servants have already discussed with Governor Ronglu, and today they will send escorts back to the capital to suppress the bandits.Please rest assured that there are still 10,000 Protectors in the Forbidden City, all of whom are veterans with strong combat effectiveness.The rabble of the Boxers, even if they entered the inner city, must have been trapped outside the Purple City. ”Yi hurriedly reported and relieved Cixi.He didn't expect that Huaxingjun would be able to resist the temptation and still stand still in Dagukou."
What Prince Gong said is very true, the Queen Mother is relieved.Today, the Protector Army has all marched towards the city of Beijing, and it will be able to reach Beijing in three days after a rapid march.The Boxers' attack on Beijing was not entirely without benefit, they were hiding in the Yimeng Mountains at the beginning, and we could not help them.Now that they are all gathered in the capital, we can close the door and fight the dogs, and take the opportunity to annihilate this group of rebels in one fell swoop" Rong Lu also kowtowed and hurriedly made a promise, regretting that he should not have listened to Prince Gong's pry and used the capital as bait."
Alright, alright.Don't promise anything to this palace again, this palace will give you another chance.If you can't recover the capital and annihilate all the Boxers, you two will come to see you" Cixi shouted angrily, and after speaking, under the service of the maid, he took the little emperor and left."
Slave Leader" Yi and Ronglu hurriedly kowtowed, constantly wiping the cold sweat on their heads, and sent Cixi away.In the city of Beijing, after three days of fighting, the Boxers had taken full control of the nine gates of the inner city.The descendants of the Ming Emperor sent by Wang Yinlin have also been found in Shandong.At the time of the death of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family had multiplied for dozens of generations, and there were more than one million descendants.It is not difficult to find a family surnamed Zhu.Genealogy can be modified, the key is to be obedient.This lucky man, who was still begging for a living, is named Zhu Gou'er.After being found by Wang Yinlin, he immediately changed his name to Zhu Fuming according to the genealogy of King Qi of the Ming Dynasty.Thanks to the fact that there is a compound character in the genealogy of King Qi, Zhu Fuming also has the meaning of reviving the Ming Dynasty.When the leaders of the Boxer Rebellion stationed in the inner city, Wang Yinlin specially asked people to prepare a sedan chair carried by sixteen people and carried Zhu Fuming from Zhengyang Gate.The people in the city were all driven out of their homes and knelt on the ground to welcome the Ming Emperor back to Beijing.All the yellow dragon flags on the street were also torn off and replaced with the sun and moon flags of the Ming Dynasty.The Manchus in the inner city also ushered in a catastrophe, not only the Boxers were not pleasing to their eyes, but also the Han people who were usually bullied in the city were also holding their stomachs.Now that the Boxers have taken the city of Beijing, the Eight Banners who walked birds and trained dogs every day have also become the targets of bloodbathing.For three days, people were killed every day, and almost tens of thousands of people were beheaded in the streets.The people were ordered to shave off their braids and break with the Manchu tartars.Whoever dares to disobey orders will immediately rectify the Fa on the spot.Now the people on both sides of the street are almost all wrapped in red cloth and dressed like the Boxers.Wang Yinlin, Meng Laicai, and Jiang Wanshan followed closely in red Ming official robes, followed by the Cangzhou Five Tigers, the Seven Heroes of Saibei and many other leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society, dressed in the armor of the general, majestically following behind.In order to show off their strength, 50,000 foreign spearmen also followed, stepping on neat steps from the streets to stretch for dozens of miles.Because the Forbidden City has not yet been taken, the emperor's bedroom is temporarily located in Prince Gong's mansion.All the soldiers are also gearing up, waiting to take the Forbidden City, so that they can receive rewards according to their merits.Everything is moving forward in chaos, and the only thing that makes the Han people in the capital happy is that.As soon as the Boxers entered the city, they opened a warehouse to release grain, and everyone finally followed the Ming Dynasty who jumped out of the coffin to have a full meal.Whether this court is surnamed Qing or Ming, whoever feeds the people will naturally stand on whose side."
Brother Wang, today we are really glorious ancestors, and we have shown our faces once.Let's live for such an old age, it's the first time it's so beautiful" After everyone moved into Prince Gong's mansion, the three elders gathered together and prepared to discuss the attack on the Forbidden City.Jiang Wanshan sighed with a big sigh, looking at the luxurious decoration in the house, it was like living in a dream."
Brother Jiang, this is just the beginning.When we take the Forbidden City, we will all be the first heroes of the founding of the country, and it is not a problem to be crowned king. ”Wang Yinlin also waved his hand excitedly, looking complacent."
It's really unthinkable that the Qing court would give up this huge Beijing city so easily.Happy is happy, the three of us can't have a trace of carelessness.If the world is not settled, we are at risk of losing our heads at any time.Not only had to face the counterattack of the Qing court, but also the attack of the Huaxing army.There is a big problem in front of us right now, according to the accurate intelligence on the front line, the Qing court can deploy more than 10,000 elites in the Forbidden City, all of them are the descendants of the guard, this battle is not easy to fight" Meng Laicai took a deep breath and poured cold water on the two with a serious face."
Brother Meng is too worried, our morale is booming now, and 200,000 people are more than enough to deal with 10,000 soldiers and horses" Jiang Wanshan patted Meng Laicai's chest with confidence."
Brother Meng, everything has to be done slowly, it's useless to worry.After taking the Forbidden City, the emperor ascended the throne and restored the Ming Dynasty.The hearts of the people of the world will focus on the Ming Dynasty, and when the time comes, the world will return to the heart, why worry about not being able to calm the Quartet" Wang Yinlin also retorted a little unhappily, dissatisfied with the frustrating words Meng Laicai said."
Alright, alright, all less words.Let's discuss the specific countermeasures for attacking the Forbidden City. ”Jiang Wanshan saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly became a peacemaker and brought the topic to business.The three of them discussed it all night, and finally came up with a feasible plan.After dawn, the whole army was notified and the attack on the Forbidden City began.The Forbidden City has four gates, namely Daqing Gate, Di'an Gate, Dong'an Gate, and Xi'an Gate, which are not so majestic and magnificent compared to the inner and outer cities.Rong Lu left these 10,000 veterans at the beginning, but he was afraid that the Huaxing army would not come to Beijing, so that Prince Gong's wishful thinking would fail, and he would be punished.Now it seems that this move was indeed the right move, at least buying time for the army to return to Beijing.This time, not only Guangronglu's escort went south, but also the 100,000 cavalry of Seng Lingqin will also go south to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Boxers.This time, Cixi was ruthless, and she must exterminate the Boxers in the capital, and she can't let the tiger return to the mountain.On the second day, the day dawned.The 50,000 elite foreign spearmen of the Boxers were all concentrated in the Daqing Gate to be responsible for the main attack, and the other soldiers and horses were scattered in the other three gates in addition to the fortification in the inner and outer cities.Taking the Forbidden City is a great achievement, and no one wants to give the credit to others.The Seven Heroes of Saibei and the Five Tigers of Cangzhou went into battle in person, and after arranging the formation of the attack on the front line, they let the heralds blow the horn of the attack
