Chapter 527: I’ll give you a piece of advice!
When dawn came, the bannermen living in the inner city were shocked to find that the originally noisy Beijing city was a bit too quiet. The children of the bannermen who were idle on weekdays and fighting cocks and birds found that on the main roads of the capital, teams of fully armed brigade Eight Banners, seemed to have been transformed into a murderous military camp overnight.
The people around who were carrying firewood and fruits and vegetables to enter the city to sell were shocked to find that the gates of the capital of the Qing Dynasty were closed, prohibiting people from entering and leaving. On the walls, the figures of soldiers and the equipment to guard the city seemed to indicate something.
On the second day of July, at dusk, a team of cavalry appeared in the eastern suburbs of Beijing. For a moment, the soldiers guarding Dongzhimen were the Inlaid White Flags who suddenly became nervous. If there were no sharp-eyed sentries who saw the armor of the cavalry, they should belong to the troops of the Qing Dynasty Cavalry Camp, there were probably some people who were not open to their eyes and were ready to let the soldiers fire.
However, the hasty figure of the cavalry of the cavalry camp, with a team of only about 200 people, made an unknown premonition in the heart of Qichen, the chief of the inlaid white flag guarding Dongzhimen on the city.
He felt that his heartbeat seemed to be rising, and his fingers holding the Qianli Mirror seemed to be trembling. No, the dust that had been accumulated on the city wall of Dongzhimen seemed to be shaking for many years seemed to be shaking.
"What's going on?!" Qi Chen shouted loudly. When he looked left and right, he realized that the expressions on the Eight Banners soldiers nearby were not much better.
"Cabinets are cavalry." A 50-year-old leader of the inlaid white flag ginseng standing behind the governor stared at the distant horizon with his eyes tightly, and his mouth was squirming.
"What do you mean?" Qi Chen couldn't help but frowned and shouted unhappily to the old Xingwu who had participated in the Battle between Jinchuan and Jinchuan. This old guy has a high level of self-confidence and has always been not very good at him. If it weren't for the fact that this old guy was still his cousin, Qi Chen would have to wear his shoes.
The old guy ignored the floating soil on the city wall and lay on the floor tiles of the city wall, listening to something with a serious face. "Many cavalry, at least tens of thousands of cavalry." When Qi Chen heard this, his little face turned pale.
"Open the city gate! Hengrui, deputy chief of the Zhengbai Banner, is here. You are blind. Open the city gate quickly!" Finally, Hengrui, who led a number of defeated generals from the Cavalry Camp, rushed to Dongzhi Gate, pushed his helmet that had already run crookedly and shouted loudly.
"Hurry up, release the suspension bridge and open the city gate. It's Evergrande." Qichen was angry that he didn't care about the other party's angrily scolding at the moat, because a lot of smoke and dust had already risen on the horizon several miles away from these cavalry camps. If it was not easy at this time, I'm afraid that the deputy governor who was ordered to go to Tianjin to reconnaissance would die by the moat.
Amid Hengrui's anxious curses, Dongzhimen slowly lowered the suspension bridge, and the city gate slowly moved a thin crack away. Hengrui and others rushed through the suspension bridge and squeezed into the city gate with all their might. Hengrui could not even get off the horse. Finally, he barely got off the horse with the help of his own soldiers and sat directly on the ground.
Qichen had no time to go downstairs to greet this colleague, because his eyes were completely attracted by the distant horizon. The smoke and dust flying all over the sky like a sandstorm almost covered the east sky. On the ground line, a long black ridge appeared and became clearer in the end. The sound of hooves, which were originally like thunder, exploded. Thousands of black-armored cavalry silently activated the reins and rushed towards the horses, wrapped in a momentum of collapse and sinking the earth, which made people feel moved.
Boom boom boom boom...
A panicked Qing soldiers guarding the city ignited the fuse of the cannons on the city in panic, which soon caused a chain reaction. The artillery located in the Dongzhimen area roared one after another. These Qing soldiers guarding the city for a long time, and even some Eight Banners soldiers guarding the city gates that had been guarding for several years had not even opened the cannons. At this time, they were temporarily cramming. In panic, several cannons were directly blown up because of the large loading. There were also some cast iron cannons because there was no police in the capital for a long time, and no one was in charge of the rust in the cannon chamber, which made the stuffed shells unable to enter and exit.
There were more than 70 artillery guns, and only 60% of them were ignited. The others were not that they didn't want to ignite them, but that they only found that the cannon had not yet been loaded with gunpowder projectiles. Even so, seven were blown up on the spot. Even the gunners could not figure out whether they shot the shells to Java or the Japanese island.
Just as the city wall was in a mess and busy situation, the more than 10,000 cavalry had stopped moving about five miles from Beijing.
"Damn, are those guys looking at the mighty and majestic Liang family army. They feel that they have no shame to see people, so they just blow the cannon up and commit suicide?" Wu Qianjin, who was looking at the Beijing city excitedly, was like a paparazzi who had just given a lot of blood needles, and was nagging nonstop.
This guy is the commander of the navy, but the problem is that Wu Qianjin is another fanatical war maniac. After bombarding Tianjin City, he strongly demanded to go to the battlefield, saying that although he is the commander of the navy, he is also the commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps of the Jiashi Fleet. He has the right, responsibility and obligation to lead his subordinates to act with the large army.
Liang Pengfei made this guy so he couldn't help it.
But the problem is that the navy is the navy. Such deep-in-inland combat is not what the Marines should do. Otherwise, it would be strange if those troops were not arguing. Liang Pengfei had to choose a compromise, find a reason, and suspend the commander of the Jiashi Fleet, and let the guy follow him as his personal soldier.
Now Wu Qianjin's rank has changed from a major general to an army lieutenant, and has been ridiculed by many comrades, but this guy is very thick-skinned. Whoever you are sarcastic, I'm just here to join in the fun.
"I love hearing this. By the way, young master, should we give these Eight Banners soldiers a little gift so that their emperor can really treat us as bandits?" Bai Shusheng also had an expression of excitement. After all, who would have thought that one day, the pirates and bandits would represent the justice side and overthrow this corrupt court.
"Don't worry, we only have the cavalry divisions to arrive at the city of Beijing now, and the other troops are still on the way. There is no need to let the brothers of the cavalry division use light mortars to play with our opponents in order to say hello." Liang Pengfei shook his head. "Look at the top of the city, there are also many artillery guns. Although they don't even have flowering bullets, please don't forget that our soldiers came here to see the Qing court overthrown with their own eyes, rather than waiting for us to burn yellow paper for them. Do you understand?"
After hearing Liang Pengfei's words, all the military generals who wanted to instigate the robbery to snatch the credit were quiet, and war madmen like Wu Ganjin also calmed down.
"You are right. Don't be too anxious. After the infantry divisions and artillery brigades arrive, clean up all the artillery first. At that time, we can play whatever we want." Ni Ming straightened the helmet on his head and smiled.
Liang Pengfei smiled faintly and nodded, looking at the city walls of Beijing, which were built in the Yuan Dynasty, built in the Ming Dynasty, and have been about two feet tall and about five feet tall. This was once the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Beijing in order to facilitate strengthening the northern border defense and protecting the security of the north.
"Do you know that there was a ancestral teaching in the previous Ming Dynasty that was specifically used to warn the emperors of the Ming Dynasty." Liang Pengfei suddenly felt that he had a lot to say, as if there was an indescribable emotion in his heart at this moment, as if he was about to walk to the podium and be ready to make a speech on winning the award. He would not be happy and not say it.
All the laughter around Liang Pengfei gradually stopped, and he looked at Liang Pengfei with some difficulty. Even the expressions on the faces of the staff members seemed strange. He thought that Liang Pengfei was going to do something to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?
However, Liang Pengfei looked at the tall and majestic city wall without looking back and replied to himself: "The Ming Dynasty has a ancestral teaching: if you do not marry, you will not pay compensation, you will not cede land, you will not pay tribute, the emperor will guard the country's gates, and the king will die!"
Liang Pengfei's clear and majestic voice was like reciting a poem. Everyone could not help but feel moved when they heard this.
"The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies!" Sun Shijie murmured and repeated this sentence. For some reason, a sourness surged in his heart.
"For more than 270 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were good, bad, playful, and absurd. It can be said that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty also had unshirkable responsibilities in the defeat of the Ming Dynasty. However, one thing is that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty had no corrupt bodies. Chongzhen died in the country, orthodox captured but never beg for mercy. Longwu died in the battlefield, and Shaowu was captured on a hunger strike... Today, I came to Beijing in this era. I just wanted to see if the bones of the Qing Dynasty were hard? Is there the character of our Han people like us?"
"Guess." Liang Pengfei turned his head, looked at the Liang family cavalry all over the mountains, and the frank and eager faces.
"They don't!" Sun Shijie sneered.
"They won't have it!" Wu Ganjin gently stroked the sword beside his waist.
"They are not worthy!" Ni Ming smiled.
