Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 740
When Xu Jian led people into Wanshou Temple to search, Shengjing City was already in chaos.The streets are full of people, they are running in a panic in the streets and alleys of the city, looking for a place to hide, it seems that the end of the world is just around the corner.

In the propaganda of the Manchu Qing government, the Beihai Navy was portrayed as a group of vicious wild bandits.It is said that every time they go to the city, they will be massacred regardless of bannermen, and those who survive will be sent to hard labor for life in a bitter cold place.

Although no one would believe such a lie in the coastal areas of Guannei, it is different in Liaodong.This is the birthplace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the hometown of the Manchus. Most people will instinctively believe in the imperial court.

Apart from other things, few of the Eight Banners soldiers who went to fight in Jilin escaped in the end.Even if someone escaped by chance, whenever they mentioned the war with the Beihai Navy, they immediately felt as if they were in a bewilderment, their hands and feet trembled inexplicably, their words were incoherent, and some even rolled their eyes and fainted.

The ancients in the [-]th century didn't understand what "cannonball shock" was. They instinctively thought it was bewitched.No matter how fierce and brutal the battle in the cold weapon era is, it is still killing each other with knives, guns and arrows, and there will always be a corpse left behind.However, when confronted with the Beihai Navy, it is often the sudden rain of shells that blows up the sky and the sky, blowing up people's bones. The impact of this kind of terror on the Qing army hits the soul directly.

At this moment, as soon as the banner people running around on the street saw Bei Haijun's figure, they would immediately explode. They all ran to avoid each other, crowded and trampled each other, and the street was quickly blocked by the flow of people.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, many people began to climb over other people's courtyard walls, and even climbed onto the roof.People walked on the roof, and the crushed tiles fell down like hailstones, and those hiding in the house did not dare to shout, for fear of attracting the North Navy.

And those houses with thatched roofs are even worse. The flimsy roofs cannot bear too many people.When the purlins and beams sounded like they were about to break, the owner of the house ran away in fright. Often, the roof collapsed before the family came out, and the people who fell and were hit Falling to death and injury, screams and howls can be heard endlessly.

Afraid of being humiliated, many Banner women blackened their faces with ashes, even killed chickens and ducks, smeared their bodies with blood, and scattered their hair, making them look like ghosts.

More than 20 minutes later, the people fleeing in fear on the street gradually disappeared.It's just that on the roofs of each household, in the house, in the firewood piles in the yard, in the barn and even in the pigsty, there are family members of the Eight Banners and "followers of the banner" hiding everywhere.At this time, all the houses and shops were closed, and everyone did not even dare to breathe, and waited quietly.Occasionally, a cough or a child's cry could be heard from the house, and the complexions of everyone inside and outside the house changed drastically. The mother could only grit her teeth and cover the child's mouth, her face turned blue and did not dare to let go.

All these are just like the scenes of those Han people when the Qing army first invaded Yangzhou City and Jiangyin.It's just that 150 years have passed, Baiyun Canggou, the country has changed hands, and the north and the south have swapped!

However, these people are lucky. Today's Beihai Town is not the Manchu Qing Dynasty back then, and the Beihai Navy is not a revolutionary army mixed with political parties in another time and space history.There are many Manchu soldiers and former Qing soldiers who have been reformed in the Eastern Front Army today, and some even have their homes in Shengjing.

Although some people in the crossing crowd in Beihai Town imagined that Shengjing City would also have a "ten day", but that could only be a fantasy.Because they also know that in Beihai Town, which has a territory of more than 1000 million square kilometers, the basic population of the people under its rule is a mixture of all ethnic groups and eclecticism.

As an army with a clear political purpose, every soldier in the Northern Navy knows why he is fighting.Elimination of the Manchu Qing court is just a means, and the root is to let the people of the world have enough to eat and no longer have to be slaves or handmaids.

From Zhao Xin to Liu Sheng, Deng Fei, Wu Siyu, Ding Guofeng, and Fan Tong, they spent ten years constantly strengthening military discipline through various systems and propaganda methods, and created an army that amazed the natives of this time and space .And once such an army starts to "slaughter", all previous efforts will collapse in an instant.

"Tom!"

A howling shell crossed the gate tower of Huaiyuanmen in a parabola, and landed in the front yard of Prince Su's mansion in a blink of an eye, and seven or eight Qing soldiers were given lunch boxes on the spot.The surrounding soldiers of the Qing army were all horrified. They ignored the howling wounded and ran towards several rooms. However, a few minutes later, two shells landed on the roof of a room almost at the same time. Next, the house collapsed, and more than 20 Qing soldiers were all buried under the rubble and bricks.

Since you want to fight, you can't keep your hands, in order to completely destroy the Qing army's will to resist and fight quickly.As a result, under the guidance of the drone, the mortars of the Beihai Navy, as if they had eyes, went to the place where the Eight Banners soldiers were the most in the inner city.In addition to Prince Su's mansion, the gates of the General's Office, Prince Jingjin's mansion, Prince Zheng's mansion, and Raoyu County's mansion were all bombed, killing thousands of Qing soldiers and bannermen.

Seeing that it was not safe to hide in the palace, those clans took their families and escaped through the back door, taking their slaves and running around like headless chickens, and finally many people ran outside the gate of King Khan's Palace.To everyone's surprise, there was no bombing here.

"Open the door! Let's go in and take shelter! Open the door!"

"Eunuch Zhang, we are from Prince Ying's Mansion! Please open the door!"

"Eunuch Zhang, please do me a favor! Let's go in and hide for a while, the North Sea pirates are about to come in!"

However, no matter how these people beat on the door, there was no response from inside, and the eunuch in charge of guarding was beaten to death and dared not open the door.At this time, someone proposed to take a ladder to climb over the wall and go in to open the palace gate.The man spoke convincingly, saying that we are all descendants of the old Khan, and taking refuge under the eaves of his old man's house is considered to be showing favor to future generations.This kind of rebellious idea on weekdays unexpectedly won the unanimous approval of everyone present.

The Khan Palace is said to be a palace, but it is actually a courtyard with two entrances. The courtyard walls are not as high as those in the Forbidden City.There is a three-room gate similar to the Daqing Gate in the outer courtyard, and three spacious and tall houses on the north side of the inner courtyard, where Nurhachi lived.There are three auxiliary halls on the east and west sides, where the concubines live, which is very simple.When Nurhachi wanted to discuss matters, he would go to the Dazheng Hall in the south.

Soon, several servants of the palace climbed in with adult ladders, removed the heavy latch, and then hundreds of people rushed in.At this time, several angry Beizi and Guo Gong came to the eunuch's residence with Bao Yi, broke open the door and rushed into the house, grabbed several eunuchs and punched them.

"You dog slaves! You don't even open the door for me! The North Sea pirates haven't even entered the city yet, so you dare to rebel! I will teach you a good lesson for the emperor today! Beat me to death!"

"Master Beizi, please forgive me! Please forgive me! This servant dare not, oh, no outsiders are allowed to enter without an order!"

"The city is surrounded by northern sea thieves, where do you go to ask for orders! Hundreds of people are waiting to be bombed!"

The eunuchs instinctively hugged their heads and huddled together, howling, but did not dare to fight back.By the time the beating master finished venting his anger and left, the eunuchs were already spraying blood from their mouths and noses, and were covered with scars.When the North Navy found them afterwards, one of them had died.

These eunuchs in Shengjing City are actually hard-working people from the Guannei. Of course they really want to enter the Forbidden City to serve the emperor. The problem is that after being purified, they enter the House of Internal Affairs, and they can no longer make decisions about their own lives. They have to go wherever they are arranged. .The only advantage of guarding the Shengjing Palace is that they can have enough food. Isn't the price of food cheap!

After the beating, the master and the coats returned to the gate of the main hall and joined the ranks of those kneeling in prayer.After sending out the evil fire, they stopped chanting.Unable to escape, unwilling to commit suicide and die for the country, they could only kowtow to the main hall and pray, hoping that Nurhachi's spirit in heaven would bless them.However, these people forgot that now that Fuling and Zhaoling have fallen into the hands of Bei Haijun, the old King Khan and his son can't afford to cheat their corpses.

Of course, it is impossible for Nurhachi and Huang Taiji to become "big rice dumplings".Both father and son were cremated.The official archives of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties clearly stated that the one buried in the tomb of the two men was called "Baogong" instead of "Zigong".

At this time, Shu Liang, the general of Shengjing, no longer had the bright armor and mighty appearance before, and sat on the steps of the general's office with a dejected expression on his face.The treasure seat on his helmet was knocked off by a shrapnel, and the "lightning rod" was gone, so it was ridiculously bare.

At that time, he and Lu Kang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, were inspecting on the tower of Tianyou Gate in the south. As a result, a shell hit and Lu Kang died on the spot.If Geshha hadn't protected Shu Liang in time to take the shrapnel for him, he would have finished the game.

"Dajunmen! Now the city is about to be destroyed. Alas, everything is over! The officials are the officials of the Qing Dynasty, and the ghosts of the Qing Dynasty are dead. I still have some things to go home to take care of." The person who spoke was the household department The servant and Yin Bolin of Tianfu.

"Brother Yuting go first! Brother, I'll be there later!" Shu Liang got up after hearing this, bowed to the other party with difficulty, and was already in tears when he stood up again.He knew that the other party was going back to commit suicide with his family.

Bolin smiled wryly and said, "It's nothing more than death, why bother to pretend? A man is loyal to his country, and he deserves his death! Dajunmen, let's leave here and see you in the next life!" After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Half an hour later, Bolin left a suicide note at home, hanged himself, and threw his side room into a well.Fortunately, the two children and their wife are in the capital, otherwise they would have to go with them.

Shu Liang stared blankly at Bo Lin's figure disappearing at the door, feeling his throat was a little dry, and was about to ask the soldiers beside him to fetch a bowl of water, when he heard a "boom" explosion not far away, shaking The entire lobby of the government office was shaking, and the tiles on the roof were crackling and falling into the courtyard along the eaves.

"Dajunmen! It's not good! The Beihai pirates are bombarding Fujinmen and Wailangmen! The brothers suffered heavy casualties, and they can't stand it anymore!"

At this moment, a general with a knife in his hands and wearing a tie collar uniform ran in staggeringly, his face was black and purple from the gunpowder smoke.He came to Shu Liang, knelt down on one knee and said, "Dajunmen! I will protect you and escape, right?"

"Escape? Hehe, hahahahaha!" Shu Liang looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, turned around and sat down behind the table, raised his hand to signal the general to get up, and said, "The eight city gates have been blocked by them. If you touch it, you will be injured, and if you touch it, you will die. Where can you escape? 76, how many years have you been with me?"

The general named "76" was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "It's been more than ten years. At that time, the brothers from Biaoxia and Jianruiying followed the army gate to fight Su 43 in the northwest."

Manchu people like to use numbers to name their names. Even if they changed their Chinese names after entering the customs, they still retain the habit of using numbers.Under normal circumstances, the source of the number as the name is mostly the age of the grandfather or grandmother at birth.

"It's been 13 years, how fast the days go by!" Shu Liang muttered to himself.

He came out of the Xiangshan Jianrui camp. At the beginning, he followed Agui to fight Jinchuan as a striker, then cooperated with Hailancha to destroy Su 43, and then followed Fukang'an to fight against Fuerdan City and suffered a disastrous defeat.

That was the first time he had faced off against the Beihai Navy, and as the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner Guards, he served as the leader of the minister and was in charge of commanding the left wing of the "Nine Advances and Ten Chains" formation.The mighty firearms of the Northern Navy on the battlefield left an indelible impression on him, how many midnights he woke up from nightmares, the dreams were full of cavalrymen who were smashed to pieces by the cannonballs, splashing blood all over his head and face .Although the fight against Taiwan to wipe out Lin Shuangwen was finally elated, but the thought of the Beihai Navy outside the pass made my scalp tingle.

I thought that when I went to Jingzhou to be a garrison general, I would be able to sleep peacefully for a few days away from the North Navy, but who knew that Fukang'an was transferred to fight Gurkha the year before last, and Qianlong actually promoted him to be the general of Shengjing.If this was before, it would definitely be a beautiful job that would wake up in a dream, the emperor of the earth who is under one person and above ten thousand!

However, this is not what it used to be.Before Shu Liang took office, he had arranged all the funeral affairs in the family properly before leaving, with a tragic posture of "the wind is rustling and the water is cold".A letter came from my family a few months ago, saying that my second daughter-in-law is pregnant again, God bless, I hope it is a son.
"Dajunmen? Dajunmen?" Just as Shu Liang was thinking wildly, 76 couldn't hold his breath anymore. The sound of guns outside became more and more intense, and the earth-shaking and mountain-shaking shouts of killing had already filled the air.

"Huh?" Shu Liang suddenly woke up from the short memory, and then laughed at himself.

When he fought against Mu Gu for the first time, he ignored life and death at all and only knew how to kill the enemy.Now that I am older, I am looking forward and backward and thinking so much about what is not.I, Shu Liang, was valued by the late emperor, and I served as the head of the fourteen garrison generals in the imperial court. Even if I was in death, I would never surrender.What's more, losing a teacher and humiliating the country, even if you escape back, you will die.

Thinking of this, Shu Liang got up, walked up to 76, punched him on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "76, are you afraid of death?"

76's throat trembled, he swallowed his saliva, and said indifferently: "Dajunmen, I'm not afraid of death. I have a son and a daughter, and that boy is taller than me now, and he also called his wife. I'm sorry for my ancestors! "

Shu Liang shook his head and said, "I would like to ask you one thing. This matter is much harder than death. If Naxin hadn't blocked the gun for me and died in battle, I wouldn't have bothered you."

76 said in a trembling voice, "Please order from Dajunmen."

"You want to live, take my head back to the capital and give it to my family, and tell them that in the future, they will farm and study, live a good life, and don't think about revenge. This is what I want to ask you." After Shu Liang said, he bowed and bowed. .

He spoke very calmly, but 76 was stunned, and even forgot to return the salute, and said with a pale face: "Dajunmen, this, this! What are you talking about, Biao Xia is risking his life to protect you and kill you! "

"No need to say more!"

A quarter of an hour later, Shu Liang, the general of Shengjing, held up the treasured sword bestowed by Emperor Qianlong, swung it in the direction of the capital, and committed suicide.And 76, who had changed into a servant's costume, hurriedly cut off his head and wrapped it up. As soon as his front feet slipped through the back door, several Beihai soldiers rushed into the lobby of the government office from the front door.

At ten o'clock in the morning, red flags were flying on the eight city towers in Shengjing's inner city, and all the remaining Qing troops in the city put down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.If you stand on the tower and look at it at a glance, there may be as many as 2 prisoners.

"Company commander, when are we going to break into Shanhaiguan?"

Hearing the question from his subordinates, Xu Jian, who was standing on the tower of Fujin Gate, turned his eyes away from the captives, turned his head to look to the south, and said firmly, "Hurry up!"

　Bolin, courtesy name Yuting, Huxi Harry, was born in Zhenghuang Banner in Manchuria.This person lived until the Daoguang Dynasty, and was an official to the University of Tiren Pavilion, in charge of the Ministry of War.During the Jiaqing period, he served as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. He led troops many times to wipe out the Burmese chieftains who harassed the border, which can be regarded as a contribution to stabilizing the southwestern border.
