Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 404 Breaking down the palace city and killing people indiscriminately

Guiziliu didn't do anything, he was still watching the burning city in Chongwenmen, he couldn't help reciting a poem, but he was worried that the Forbidden City would be burnt down, making Guiziliu a big sinner for the country .

Although, he may not have no idea of ​​taking advantage of the fire to loot the Forbidden City.

However, it is not a crime to think about it.

It was actually three groups of people who were attacking (setting fire to) the Forbidden City.

Three groups of people who do not belong to each other and do not know each other's existence.

The first group was the Special Operations Department of the Gongjin Association, which was mainly composed of children from the Han Army Banner.

Their task was not to attack the Forbidden City, but to set fire to create the illusion that the clan's children and even the Eight Banners were against each other in the Dongmenhua area, so as to cause panic in the palace and achieve their ulterior purpose.

This criminal gang has done a good job.

After the fire broke out, Meng Qiwen, the vanguard of the Xianghuang Banner Han Army who led the team, was going to lead people to evacuate, so as not to be blocked by the guards who came nearby.

Meng Qiwen's ancestry was Meng Qiaofang, the governor of the three sides, minister of the Ministry of war, and prince Taibao, who was appointed by the emperor as a second minister.

It’s just that the Meng family’s family life was settled early, and the third-class light car captain’s title handed down by the ancestors during the Kangxi period was abolished, so the Meng family was a typical Eight Banners settlement in the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties.

Meng Qiwen was able to be given a chance to worship Tang Ashi by Qili and then go to Jinchuan for training. Speaking of it, I really owe it to Mr. Jia Jia, the lifelong honorary president.

If Mr. Jia hadn’t entrusted Heshen’s connections and begged the minister of the Ministry of Justice, Yinglian, to enter the palace and give the Han army’s heroic families to ask the emperor for mercy, they would have been reduced to setting up stalls beside the imperial city on weekdays, and Meng Qiwen, who was already listed on the flag list, was not qualified to worship Tang A, nor was he qualified to be the vice president of the Beijing branch and the commander of special operations.

Looking around, Meng Qiwen ordered to withdraw.

Their next task is to meet the team members pretending to be guards and massacre the clan, and then take advantage of the chaos in the city to sneak away and wait and see what happens.

The action plan was personally deployed by Director Liu of the Liaison Office and Commissioner Vatican. There was only one program for the entire operation, which was to create chaos.

Taking advantage of the impact of rumors flying all over the sky on the legitimacy of Qianlong's throne, using the clan's doubts about Qianlong, through a series of incidents, the contradictions continued to escalate in the dark night.

The palace was set on fire, the whole city was set on fire, and at the same time, some people set fire to the palace.

"Go, the guards are coming!"

Everyone hurriedly smashed the last oil cans on the palace wall and was about to jump into the Jinshui River to swim away. They didn't want to wait for them to evacuate, and there were fireworks rising into the sky in the distance, and then continued to explode.

Looking at the direction of the fireworks, it seems to be in the direction of Shenwumen and Meridian Gate.

There were even more people shouting at the South No. [-] Institute to kill Qianlong and protect the Qing Dynasty, and there were gunshots and shouts to kill.

This movement made Meng Qiwen and the others a little dazed. They waited until the guards of the Three Banners came to this side, and then they woke up like a dream, and jumped into the river and dived away.

"Who set off the fireworks?!"

Sun Wufu, the vice-commander of the Han army with a red flag running towards Xihuamen, was also looking at the fireworks exploding in the sky, wondering if they were found in the palace, but he heard shouts from far away to kill Qianlong and protect the Qing Dynasty With a loud voice, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and the opponent said that it must be someone else from the clan who also made a move.

"The emperor is finished, everyone follow me into the palace!"

Sun Wufu pulled his cousin Ling Xian who was still in a daze, and brought nearly [-] Han army children who were seeking wealth and danger, and rushed towards Xihua Gate with muskets, bows and arrows.

"who!"

Outside the Xihua Gate, dozens of guards under Tuoyin Tuobu and his subordinates of the Zhengbai Banner Manchurian Guard Military Academy were also surprised by the sudden explosion of fireworks, and they all looked around, not knowing what happened.

Seeing a large group of people approaching Xihua Gate in front of them, Tuoyin Tuobu hurriedly led people to stop them, but before he could understand, gunshots rang out from the opposite side.

Seven or eight shots were fired, and three guards were shot and fell to the ground. Before the rest of the crowd could get their ears clean, a large group of people rushed up and attacked them frantically.

Tuoyin Tuobu was shot in the face by a big arrow and died tragically on the spot.

"Close the door, close the door!"

The guards fled to the palace in a hurry and yelled for the people inside to close the door, but the gang of rebels who broke into the palace followed closely behind.

Datai, the leader of the guard guarding the Xihua Gate, came out of the guard office. Hearing that there were rebels breaking into the palace, the leader of the guard, who had been favored by the emperor, felt weak in his legs and feet, and left his men on the spot to flee to the palace. go.

Datai's escape made the guards guarding the Xihua Gate confused, and the thieves who broke into the palace were extremely ferocious, shouting to kill the emperor, rushing inward along the palace gate.

More than a dozen guards mustered up the courage to stop them with their knives, and were instantly overwhelmed by the thieves.

Seeing this, the other guards fled separately.

Sun Wufu, who succeeded, was overjoyed. Since he didn't know where the emperor was at this time, he asked his sworn brother Guo Qing to lead a group of people to kill in the direction of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, while he and his cousin Ling Xian rushed towards the direction of Qianqing Palace.

On the way, they passed Shangyijian, Wenying Pavilion, Wuying Hall and other places, and killed anyone they saw.

The concubines in the palace and the princess Gege and Fujin who came to mourn in the palace were shocked and panicked when they heard the shouts of killing coming from outside.

The Yellow Sect lamas who worked for the Empress Dowager were also frightened and ran around.

At the same time, a team of more than [-] people climbed over the wall from the direction of Shenwu Gate and entered the palace. They went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation from Yin'an Hall and Imperial Garden through Kunning Palace.

The palace is huge and there are many buildings, but this group of people seems to be familiar with the road, and they are not worried about getting lost at all.

It was only because there were several eunuchs in the palace leading the team.

And the members of this team are either the coated servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or the servants of Prince Baylor's family.

Their leader is Yang Bao.

There are as many as 14 people with the surname Yang in the team, all of whom are brothers and nephews of Yang Bao.

This group of people has a common identity, that is, they are all gossip believers.

The leader is Yang Bao.

The Yang family not only founded the Bagua Sect, but also established many underground organizations such as the Qingyang Sect and the Hongyang Sect in Gyeonggi, which are also related to the Qingshui Sect in Shandong.

The reason why these organizations were severely cracked down by the Qing government was because they all had a common program - to fight against the Qing and destroy the Hu.

The ancestors of the Yang family opened the door to preach hundreds of years ago and took in an apprentice named Han Shantong.

A hundred years later, Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty, and the Yang family fought hard against the Mongolian Yuan in the southwest.

Going forward in time, the ancestors of the Yang family brought less than [-] Ding family generals from Taiyuan to the southwest to drive away Nanzhao and recover most of Guizhou.

Since then, there has been a branch of the Yang family, that is, the Yang family of Banzhou.

For hundreds of years, the Yang family has been the guardian of Bozhou until Yang Yinglong came out next year, ending the Yang family's hereditary rule in Bozhou for more than [-] years.

In Yang Bao's generation, because his ancestors were captured by the Qing soldiers and taken outside the pass as slaves, he was forced to be a slave for a hundred years.

However, no matter which generation of the Yang family, all the Yang family's children keep in mind the teachings of their ancestors - not to be slaves of foreign races.

Therefore, generations of the Yang family, whether the Han people who are not in the banner or the coated slaves in the banner, have always been secretly preaching.

Yang Bao even used his status as a coated slave to preach in the imperial palace, and he accepted five eunuchs as followers, and at the same time spread it among the clan, although he had only accepted two clan disciples and a dozen bannermen in the past ten years. teaching, but it is a great breakthrough in history for Bagua Sect.

In time, Yang Bao believes that there will be more and more clan bannermen joining Bagua Sect.

Originally, Yang Bao and the others would never take risks and expose their existence prematurely.

But now, what a godsend.

If they miss it, I am afraid that God will punish them.

"Kill Qianlong and protect Qing Dynasty!"

The man in front with a knife in both hands is called Gui Tai, who came to Beijing from Shandong a few months ago to contact the Bagua Sect to prepare to join the uprising, but Yang Bao did not agree because of lack of strength.

Later, Gui Tai went to Sichuan to contact the ghost family, but on the way, he heard that the Qing army surrounded Linqing and the leader Wang Lun died in battle.

Unwilling to fail, Gui Taisui sneaked back to Beijing secretly, trying to persuade Yang Baoling to avenge the Bagua Cult to avenge the leader Wang Lun.

At this time, the rumors about Qianlong being a Han Chinese had already spread in Gyeonggi, and all kinds of soul-calling magic tricks emerged in endlessly. As the rumors in Beijing became more and more popular, Yang Bao finally decided to take the risk.

"Kill Qianlong and protect Qing Dynasty!"

Yang Bao was also yelling vigorously. This slogan was chosen by him, but it is absolutely impossible for his Bagua Sect to protect the Qing Dynasty.

Shouting this slogan just wants to make the city full of blood flow into rivers.

　Author's note: Yang Bao and others first created the Bagua religion to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and later recruited Li Wencheng, Lin Qing, Haikang, etc., and initiated the Tianli religion uprising during the Jiaqing period.
