Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 394 Killing Qianlong and protecting the Qing Dynasty
Dongzhimen.

It has been a month since Tang Zhuying, a member of the Han army with a red banner, took over the post of leader of the left gate of this gate.

The leader of the gate of the left city is a military officer of the fourth grade. He is a military officer of the capital, together with the deputy guard guard leader of the coat, the deputy rider of the coat, and the assistant leader of the coat. Check in and out.

This personnel transfer did not attract anyone's attention, and even the interior of the infantry commander's yamen seemed calm.

Because although Dongzhimen also has tax customs, but there is very little oil and water, it is not as good as Chongwenmen, which is known as the first tax customs in the capital, and it is not as good as the other two of the first three gates, Xuanwu and Zhengyang.

Therefore, most of the subordinate officials of this city gate are under the Five Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Army. In addition to opening the city gate regularly on weekdays, the most common job is to watch the night and put out fires.

Tang Zhuying himself has no background, but his great-grandfather has a fortune in the history of the Ming Dynasty. It was Tang Tong, the Ming Miyun general who surrendered to Li Zicheng first and then Dorgon.

In the "Biography of Two Officials" compiled by the National History Museum, Tang Tong is listed as the second edition.

The Tang family originally had the title of captain of cavalry, and Tang Zhuying's grandfather and father both took over this title, but when Tang Zhuying came here, the emperor made a special decree: "Tang Tong was originally a military officer of the Ming Dynasty. A thief. Although he surrendered to the dynasty, he did not make any achievements, so his title is no longer hereditary."

With a slap, Tang Zhuying not only failed to inherit the title passed down from his ancestors, but also faced the same situation as other founding Han army heroes—the whole family set out to leave.

Then, he also made up Baitang'a, also went to Jinchuan with the army, also experienced the defeat of Muguomu, and also followed Jia Dongge to collude with the enemy and betray the country
More than a month ago, due to the recommendation of Dingxi Zuo Deputy General Bo Qing'e to return to Beijing with military merits, he was transferred to the left city gate leader of Dongzhimen.

At the same time, he served as the executive member of the Han Eight Banners of the Beijing Branch of the Gongjin Association, responsible for liaising with the Han Army and the Two Red Banners.

Under its development, 17 people, including brothers, nephews and cousins-in-law, have joined the Gongjin Association so that this big family can better serve the Qing Dynasty and realize their personal ideals and ambitions.

Because he is the leader of the Zuocheng Gate and is nominally the leader of Dongzhimen, Tang Zhuying was fortunate to meet Mr. Jia Jia when Mr. Jia Jia was ordered to transfer infantry to lead the Yamen, and convened a meeting of the main officers of the Nine Gates and Eight Banners and the Green Camp of the capital.

But at this meeting, Master Jia Jia did not speak to Tang Zhuying alone, everything was business-like.

During the meeting, it was instructed that members of the Eight Banners of the Capital will perform latent tasks for a long time unless their superiors wake them up.

Tang Zhuying originally thought that his latent life might last for several years, but he didn't expect that he would be awakened after two days.

It was Director Liu of the Liaison Office who woke him up personally.

After that, Tang Zhuying, taking advantage of his power, began to secretly release people across the city.

There are children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Mongolian Army, children of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and children of the Green Camp, as well as other unemployed personnel.

Tang Zhuying was not told by his superiors what these people were doing in the city, and Tang Zhuying also adhered to the principle of the meeting and never asked.

Moreover, although these people entered the city through Dongzhimen, they had formal procedures, and most of them were disciples of the Eight Banners, so even if something happened, he, the leader of the left city gate, would not be involved.

But people are curious, especially now that there is an undercurrent in Beijing. Whether it is the Eight Banners of Manchuria or the Eight Banners of the Han Army, everyone can feel the uneasiness in the air.

All kinds of rumors spread, and the most shocking one is undoubtedly that the emperor, in order to conceal his identity as a Han Chinese, called the queen mother, the only insider, to his soul.

After this rumor began to spread, people gradually remembered the death of Queen Nala.

That poor queen was imprisoned by the emperor in the name of bewitching, and then died in the palace for no reason.

Officials, palace eunuchs and eunuchs who accompanied the emperor on his southern tour naturally told about Queen Nala's hair loss.

Broken hair, called the soul, cut braids, the emperor is a Han Chinese
One coincidence is a coincidence, but ten or a hundred coincidences are not coincidences.

Some people say that the emperor asked Heshen, the Minister of Military Affairs who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to secretly build a golden tower. The purpose was not to store the queen mother's hair, but to use the tower to suppress the queen mother's soul.

More terrifying rumors appeared.

Some people said that the emperor had sent troops to Beijing, and when the queen mother moved to Changchun Garden, all the clans who came to see the spirit would be wiped out.

Some people also said that they saw the emperor go up to Meishan at night and bow three times and kowtow nine times to the dead old locust tree.

When two teenagers in Zhenghuangqi went to play in the imperial city, they saw a man in yellow clothes but without braids looking at the Forbidden City obsessively.

Seeing this man's strange attire, the two teenagers asked him what he was looking at.

But the man pointed to Miyagi and told the teenagers: "This is my home. I have been away for a long time, and now I want to go home."

After the man said this, the two teenagers felt dizzy and then fell to the ground unconscious.

All kinds of weird rumors emerged one after another. Some timid banner people felt that the whole city was no longer safe. They tried to live in the outer city temporarily, but the infantry battalion guarding the whole city said that they were ordered by Lord Jia Jia, saying that the Queen Mother was in state mourning Bannermen were not allowed to leave the city during this period.

Yesterday, there were many incidents of braids being cut all over the city.

Some had their braids cut forcibly on the road, and some were directly rushed into their homes and had their braids cut.

Those who cut people's braids also said that they were acting according to the order, but no matter whether it was the infantry commanding the yamen, the military aircraft department, or the Six Departments, the Eight Banners were all in charge of the yamen, saying that the emperor had never issued an order to cut the braids.

However, the fact is that the emperor did cut the braids.

Minister of Military Affairs, Yuan Shoutong, a Han official, thought that someone was trying to make trouble by taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's national funeral, so he wanted to ask the emperor to order martial law in the city, so that demons, villains, and villains with ulterior motives could not move.

However, several other ministers of the Military Aircraft Department disagreed with this. They all agreed that various rumors have sprung up recently. If the city is closed at this time, not only will it not help to suppress the rumors, but it will intensify the panic, and even cause uncontrollable consequences.

What are the consequences?
The ministers of military aircraft actually knew it well, but no one dared to say it out.

In order to prevent accidents, Fulong Anzuo asked the emperor to advance the Empress Dowager's death by two days. At that time, all the ceremonies of the Empress Dowager's national funeral will be held in Changchun Garden, so that the infantry commanding the yamen can free up their hands to clean up the inner city.

Qianlong did not agree, but asked Fu Long'an to do his job well and take care of the bodyguard office.

It seemed that the emperor was waiting for something.

Under the night, several dark figures gathered in the alley not far from Prince Zhuang's mansion, and the car behind them was piled up with kerosene.

There were also people who appeared around Prince Xian's, Prince Jian's, and Prince Yi's mansions.

On the outskirts of the imperial city, there were also people lurking in the darkness.

There is no bell tolling at midnight, but slogans are heard.

Two yellow flags, two white flags, two red flags, two blue flags
At the same time, people were setting fires all over the city, accompanied by shouts of "The emperor has a decree to kill the clan!"

Someone on the outskirts of the imperial city smashed the fire oil tank on the palace wall, accompanied by the roar of "Kill Qianlong, protect Qing Dynasty!"
