Kowloon wins

chapter 1151

Throughout the dynasties, when dealing with matters involving flag-raising and rebellion, it has always been a thunderbolt. Even a faint king would not ignore such a major matter, let alone a decisive person like Hong Qing. No, the imperial court decided that the imperial edict was issued in the afternoon, and in the early morning of the next day, Xiao Zhenshan led the second division of the first group army and the first brigade to Shuozhou, and passed Jingxing in less than seven days. Entered the Shanxi ground.

On November 23rd of the third year of Renhe, when Xiao Zhenshan's troops had just passed through Jingxing, another urgent telegram came to Beijing, claiming that Lu Dingsheng, the bandit leader of the Bailian Cult, was raising the flag in Yikao County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and gathering crowds. Wanyu, who called himself "Xiaoyao Emperor", broke through the county government and plundered the villages. The governor of Henan, Sun Guoxi, urgently dispatched the garrison battalions of Kaifeng, Xuchang, Shangqiu, and Haozhou. The garrison camp in the state was ambushed by the bandits of the White Lotus Sect, and nearly half of them were damaged in the battle. The remnants had to withdraw to the original defense area.

Within ten days, there were two rebellions against the White Lotus Sect. The emperor was so furious that he ordered Chang Shancheng, commander of the third division of the first army, to lead his troops and horses and the second cavalry brigade to conquer and suppress them. The [-]-odd Fengtai camp was completely empty, leaving only the Army Artillery Division and the Third Cavalry Brigade remaining in the camp.

As the saying goes, blessings come without pairs, but misfortunes never come singly. No, a few days after Chang Shancheng led his troops to attack, an urgent report came from Niangziguan, heavy snow fell, and many landslides in Jingxing. Cut off, and then, just after Chang Shancheng's troops arrived in Jining, an accident occurred on the Yellow River Railway Bridge. The prefect of Liaocheng sent an emergency report, saying that the Bailian Sect bandits secretly planted explosives and blew up two bridge piers, causing the railway bridge to collapse. Although the Daqing Railway Company rushed to repair it day and night, it was really difficult to resume traffic within ten days due to heavy snowfall.

So many major events have happened in just half a month. With the nature of Chinese people who always like to talk nonsense, rumors inevitably spread. All versions, without exception, allude to the fact that today's military is aggressive, so that the sky is angry and people complain. At this time, the society is in danger of collapse, and the heavens have warned that if there is no change, catastrophes will come one after another.

Rumors that this thing has no legs, but runs faster than a horse, invisible, but can kill, but no one who is in politics dares to ignore it, even if it is an extremely powerful emperor like Hong Qing Waiting for the menacing pressure of public opinion, he did not dare to sit idly by. First, he ordered the "Beijing Times" to publish a large number of articles, including high-profile pages praising the Qing army's brilliant victories in foreign wars, and exposing the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect. The critique of evil deeds, enumerating the nature of the White Lotus Sect to confuse the people and plunder the Quartet, called on the people of insight in the world to flog the White Lotus Sect, and then issued a clear edict, saying that the emperor will personally lead the group on the first day of the first lunar month The minister went to the Temple of Heaven to pray to the Emperor of Heaven and pray for blessings for all people in the world.

The reason why rumors are rumors is that they are groundless guesses and far-fetched nonsense. Although they are extremely lethal, as long as they can guide public opinion correctly, they are not difficult to deal with. No, Hong Qing said As soon as the imperial edict came out, those wild rumors gradually dissipated. In addition, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and most people are obviously more concerned about the purchase of new year's goods. With the joint efforts of several big companies in the capital, they launched a wave of big promotions The activities are booming, and the attention of the people in the capital is completely diverted. Although there are still people spreading those nonsense rumors, it is a pity that there is a lack of participation of ordinary people, and it really can't be a waste.

One more day will be New Year's Eve, except for the routine guards, most of the ministries of the court have returned to their respective mansions, preparing to have a good year, but only the Police Headquarters is too busy to rest At that time, there was no way out. The Police Headquarters had only 9000 people. If you want to ensure the security of the capital, you can only go to battle. From the director to the ordinary patrolmen below, they dare not be negligent in the slightest. No, Tiandu It was completely dark, and Director-General Heda was still handling official duties in Chongwenmen's office, his aging face was full of exhaustion.

After all, he is over sixty-five years old, and Heda has long lost the courage of the past. In addition, he has been squeezed out many times over the years, and his mood has always been very depressed, so he will age faster. Supporting the family business, Heda had long thought of disarming his armor and returning to the fields, but he never dared to retreat, nothing else, in the early years, because of his loyalty to Emperor De, Heda had offended many people today. The superior and his confidantes, although the superior did not settle the score against Heda Qiuhou today, Zuodu Yushi Tao Yi and a large group of people who have received Heda's spirit did not intend to just expose the festivals between them, especially The generals in the army even gave him Heda small shoes, which made Heda's sons unable to serve as soldiers and could only be idle bannermen at home. This is because Heda was still in the police headquarters. Sitting in the director's seat, if the armor is removed, the situation will not know how bad it will be.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of the decades of grievances and resentments between himself and Jinshang and Emperor Chengde, Heda's heart became a mess, and he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. bitter.

"Dagong, what's wrong with you? Could it be that Ben Baylor is not welcome?"

Before Heda sighed, a laugh suddenly sounded from the screen.

"Huh? You..."

Heda looked over at the prestige, only to find that Hongli had stood by the screen at some point, wearing an ordinary police uniform, smiling with a spring breeze on his face, Heda frowned involuntarily, and for a moment I really don't know how to deal with the situation in front of me.

"Dagong Haihan, Ben Baylor has arrived for some time, seeing that Dagong has a lot of thoughts, he dare not disturb easily."

Hongli didn't care about Heda's hesitant and guarded look at all, he shook his head with a smile, walked slowly towards the place where Heda was sitting, stretched out his hand casually and pulled a back chair, Shi Shiran He sat upright opposite Heda.

"How did you get in?"

Seeing Hongli sitting opposite him so casually, Heda's pupils shrank involuntarily, and he asked in a cold voice.

"It doesn't matter how Ben Baylor got in, what matters is how you get out, Dagong?"

Hongli smiled calmly, took out a folding fan from his sleeve while shaking his hands, flicked it open with a "snap", and asked back with a smile.

"Crazy, Er'an dares to be so presumptuous, come on..."

Heda and the fourth master have never had much friendship at all. Although they have had contact with Hongli, they are far from being personal or non-personal. Seeing Hongli being so presumptuous in front of him, he immediately became angry , as soon as the copy was shot, he stopped drinking loudly.

"Don't worry, Dagong, let's take a look at this first and then talk about the rest."

Heda's shout was not indifferent, but Hongli didn't care, the smile on his face remained the same, shaking his hands, he took out a copy from his sleeve, and casually threw it in front of Heda.

"You bastard, Er'an dares to investigate this old man in private, so bold!"

Seeing Hongli acting like this, Heda didn't call anyone anymore, and reached out to take the booklet, just looking at it, his face suddenly turned red, and soon turned red to black, but seeing Heda suddenly Pressing the booklet on the copy, he suddenly got up, stared at Hongli angrily, and squeezed out a sentence of old shame and anger from between his teeth, nothing else, because all the records on the booklet were Heda's illegal deeds From when he was in charge of military affairs during the Chengde period to when he is now in the police department, although Heda has never been too greedy, he still has a lot of filial piety and some oil and water. Although the amount of each sum is not large, but Adding it all up, it's quite impressive. If you really want to investigate and deal with it, throwing away the black hat is still a trivial matter, and nine out of ten you will have to be confiscated. It can't help but reveal a bit of sternness and indifference.

"Hehe, Dagong was just joking. There has been a saying since ancient times: If you want people not to know, unless you don't do anything yourself, Dagong has done everything. Do you still blame others for remembering it?"

Facing Heda's man-eating expression, Hongli just smiled nonchalantly, while waving his folding fan, he taunted Heda in a calm tone, completely ignoring his embarrassment.

"Hmph! How are you doing, huh?"

If such an account is really leaked out, Heda's family, old and young, will probably have to play it out. Heda would not dare to take such a risk, but before he can figure out Hongli's purpose, Heda will I never want to just bow my head like this.

"Don't worry, Dagong, let's take a look at this again."

Seeing that Heda still refused to bow his head, the smile on Hongli's face was unavoidably tinged with chills. He would not start negotiating with Heda at this time. He took out a jade pendant and threw it in front of Heda again.

"You bastard, what have you done to my son, tell me!"

Heda only looked at the jade pendant, his pupils shrank again immediately, he quickly reached out to pick it up, took a closer look, and was sure that the jade pendant was given to his youngest son Hetua, his face became extremely ugly on the spot, now Without him, most of Heda's sons and grandchildren are useless, only the youngest son, Hetuan, who is eighteen years old, is capable of writing and martial arts. This son, originally planned to arrange for him to go to the ministry as a post-writing post after the new year, but he never thought that his personal jade pendant would fall into Hongli's hands, and he would not be free and Heda would not be angry about it. Under this anger, he didn't care about Hongli's identity anymore, but seeing Heda's long body, through the copywriting, one hand slipped onto Hongli's chest, pulled hard, and roared angrily...
