When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 252: The Fall of the Qing Capital

Zhu Biao looked around and said, "I have to say, the surroundings look very prosperous, much more prosperous than in the 13th year of Hongwu."

"After all, it's been quite a few years, and the times are constantly progressing."

Wan Chao Zhu Di nodded and said, "Indeed, it is more prosperous than when I first restored order and ascended the throne. However, the streets are filled with pigtails, which makes people angry. Brother, when you become emperor, you must ban pigtails."

"Don't worry, Old Four. I have to ban it even without you telling me. It makes people uncomfortable to look at. What does a man think of having such a big braid?"

The people on the street looked at the sudden appearance of thousands of people with surprise.

The first thing I noticed was that these people didn't have long braids.

There was a hint of panic in his eyes.

If you dare not have braids here, it is illegal.

So many people don't have braids and they look like soldiers. I'm afraid they are planning a rebellion.

The people around hurriedly dispersed.

Some people are reporting to the police.

Wan Chao Zhu Di held a loudspeaker in his hand and said: "Everyone, start running around the map in squads. The squads that have been assigned tasks should give priority to finding suitable places to teleport."

Give an order.

The three thousand soldiers who were teleported over immediately broke up into small groups and disappeared into the streets.

"Humph, if you really think that you can capture the capital with only 3,000 men, then you are underestimating my army!"

Qianlong, who had already become bald, said in a cold voice.

But I had a bad idea in my mind.

The other party was actually able to appear directly in the capital with thousands of people. You know, just now the group was still in a military camp.

It appeared in the capital of the Qing Dynasty in the blink of an eye. Just this unbelievable thing made Qianlong feel very terrified.

If the other party still has a large army, bring tens of thousands of troops over.

I'm afraid the capital is really dangerous.

He Shen, who was standing by, endured the pain and opened his eyes: "This is the capital. We were in a military camp just now. How did we suddenly appear in the capital? Your Majesty, something bad has happened."

There was no chance for the two to continue speaking.

Zhu Ming brought a few people back to the camp of the Wanchao coalition forces.

"The army is almost ready, I guess it won't take long before the soldiers running around will find a suitable position."

Wan Chao Zhu Di chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we have already prepared 400,000 troops, and there are still 500,000 troops that will be ready tomorrow. In addition to these 900,000, we can gather hundreds of thousands more within five days."

The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty.

A group of ministers stood in the court.

It turned out that the emperor was not in the palace.

After all, Qianlong often made secret visits, so it was nothing new.

Heshen is not here either, so just do nothing.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

An old woman walked into the court supported by several palace maids.

The ministers present were stunned for a moment. They did not expect that the Queen Mother would come to the court.

You know, normally the Queen Mother wouldn't show up here even if she had something to do.

Could something important have happened in the palace?

"I will see the Queen Mother!"

"My dear ministers, please excuse me. This is an urgent matter. I will speak directly. The guards who are responsible for protecting your majesty have reported that your majesty and Heshen have disappeared. In addition, thousands of troops have suddenly appeared in the capital. I am sure that they are definitely not soldiers from the Qing Dynasty. As for their origins, it is still unclear. Judging from their attire, I am afraid they are not here with good intentions."

After finding out the enemy's situation, they wanted to find the emperor, but after searching everywhere they still couldn't find where the emperor had gone.

Since the emperor was not there, they looked for Heshen, but they couldn't find him.

In the end, the messenger could only tell the Queen Mother the news.

The ministers were confused when they heard this.

"What, your majesty and Lord He disappeared?"

"Thousands of troops of unknown origin appeared in the capital?"

"Who was guarding the city gate today? Why didn't he come to report? Could it be that this person let this army in?"

"The country is peaceful now. I haven't heard of anyone rebelling."

"Could it be the White Lotus Sect?"

The Queen Mother said, "It shouldn't be. The news I received was that this army appeared out of nowhere on the streets of the capital."

The minister was shocked again:

"Appearing out of thin air!"

"How is that possible? I think he has been hiding in the city for a long time, but he has not been discovered before."

"No way. Thousands of people, even if they were lurking, it's impossible for them to be completely unaware."

The ministers present expressed their opinions and even argued with each other.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother shouted, "I didn't come to you to watch you debate. Now that the problem is before us, you should quickly think about how to deal with it."

In the hall, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

No one dared to speak first.

The emperor is not here, and neither is the Lord.

It would be fine if my suggestions were effective, but if not, I would probably have to take the blame.

Even if the troops in the city were rebels, the ministers present did not think they could overthrow the Qing Dynasty.

After the governance of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong.

The current Qing Dynasty can be said to have reached its peak.

He fought wars in the south and the north, and none of the surrounding countries were his match.

Just a few thousand people could not shake the Qing Dynasty.

"Why, aren't you all very talkative? Why aren't you talking now? Fu Kang'an, tell me what you have in mind."

Fu Kang'an didn't expect that he would be the first to be named, so he said with a stiff face: "Queen Dowager, the best plan now is to find His Majesty first. In the past, when His Majesty left the palace, there were always people secretly protecting him. Is it true that no trace of His Majesty was found?"

"No, but I have sent people to look for him. His Majesty's disappearance was strange. He and Heshen disappeared without leaving any clues. Even if we find them, we don't know when they will be found."

"There are 100,000 troops in the capital. The most urgent task is to mobilize all the troops in the city and close the city gates. Send people to surround these thousands of people. Although we don't know how they appeared, there are not many of them. 10,000 troops can surround them. Send people to search the city for your Majesty's whereabouts. You must find your Majesty and prevent him from falling into the hands of thieves."

Everyone is discussing.

A soldier rode a warhorse to the outside of the hall and ran into the court in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, we have discovered another large army in the city. This time, there are more than 30,000 of them!"

The Queen Mother stood up with a look of shock on her face, her eyes showing a bit of panic: "Thirty thousand troops, the news is accurate!"

If the few thousand people before could still handle it calmly, then 30,000 troops would not be a small number.

If it's not handled properly, the palace might even be taken down.

"I saw with my own eyes at least 30,000 of them appear near the East City Gate."

The calmness on the faces of the ministers present disappeared, and they were filled with worry.

Everyone has a home and a job in the capital. If they are bullied, they will have no place to cry.

Tens of thousands of people is already a considerable number.

It has seriously threatened the security of the capital.

Before the people present could digest the news.

Another soldier rode into the palace on horseback.

He hurried up to the hall.

"Your Majesty, a 30,000-strong army suddenly appeared at the West City Gate and seized it with lightning speed!"

The Queen Mother fell into her seat with a thud.

"What's going on? What on earth has happened? Is the Qing Dynasty about to encounter a catastrophe?"

West Gate

Daye Li Jing showed a satisfied smile: "Although they are all Li Jing, I am Daye Li Jing, the real Li Jing, the others are fake."

Not long ago, Zhu Ming, with Daye Li Jing and 30,000 troops, appeared near the west gate.

It appeared suddenly, and the soldiers at the city gate were not mentally prepared at all.

And he came from the city.

Upon seeing this, Li Jing of Daye immediately launched an attack, catching the Qing army off guard.

Before they could organize a counterattack, the city gate had already been lost.

If they wanted to take it back, they simply did not have enough manpower and their equipment was also inferior.

After Li Jing of Daye captured the city gate, he immediately lit a signal fire.

When you find yourself being the first to light the signal smoke, you know that you are the first to capture the city gate.

In less than a minute, smoke signals appeared at the East City Gate.

Zhenguan Li Jing cursed: "Fuck, we were only one minute late, and that Li Jing who hasn't even fully grown his hair got the first place. We were the first to be teleported here. After the mission here is completed, all of you should go back and train well."

With four Li Jings, Zhu Di of Wan Dynasty liked to use four Li Jings to attack the city.

After all, his ability to lead troops in battle is obvious to all. In a sense, since they are the same person, they will be more in sync with each other.

Not long after, smoke signals were heard from the other two city gates.

outside the city.

Zhu Ming had already teleported over 200,000 troops.

Been waiting for news.

Saw the smoke rising.

Zhu Di of the coalition army smiled slightly: "As expected of Li Jing, he is quick. Everyone enter the city, let's go and have a good fight with these braids. Qianlong, do you want to follow and take a look?"

Qianlong was stunned. Is this still the Qing Dynasty that expanded its territory and was invincible?

From suddenly appearing outside the city gate to now when the city gate has been lost.

Ji Xiaolan might not even finish smoking a cigarette.

The most important thing is that I am surprised at Zhu Ming's ability.

With tens of thousands of troops, he appeared casually in the Qing Dynasty.

Ignoring the city gate in front of him and being able to appear inside or outside the city at any time is what makes Qianlong feel most desperate.

Just think about it, you lead people to guard the city gate strictly, but the enemy appears directly in the city.

Then the wall is meaningless.

"How can there be such a thing in the world?"

He Shen's eyes flashed with despair. If the dynasty really changed, his former status would vanish into thin air. "Your Highness, there are many troops in the city. I believe that the Queen Mother and the ministers are trying to find a way to overcome the current predicament."

Of course, Heshen himself didn't quite believe this statement.

The other party has this ability and is well-equipped.

No matter how strong the Qing army is, it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist.

Qianlong's eyes lit up: "Yes, the Empress Dowager will definitely find a way!"

In the palace.

Soldiers came one after another to report the news.

"Your Majesty, the East Gate has been lost!"

"Your Majesty, the South Gate has been lost!"

"Your Majesty, the North Gate has been lost!"

Together with the previous loss of the West Gate, that is to say, in a short period of time, all four city gates were lost, and the gates to the capital were wide open.

The time is so short that the court has not yet come up with an effective solution.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 200,000 troops outside the city, and they are entering the capital through several gates."

When the West Gate was lost, the ministers present already had a bad feeling that something was wrong.

Fast, too fast.

Even if the enemy launched a surprise attack, the four city gates were lost one after another in a short period of time.

Even if there are people collaborating with the enemy, we can know that the combat effectiveness of this army flying the banner of "Yanhuang" is absolutely off the charts.

They are far from being comparable to the opponents they have encountered before. Even the most elite troops of the Qing Dynasty may not be their match.

"Empress Dowager, please leave the capital first."

The Queen Mother was shocked: "Liu Yong, what do you mean by this? Do you want me to abandon my country and run away?"

"I never meant this!"

"Empress Dowager, Lord Liu is right. The country is the most important. Please evacuate the capital as soon as possible and go to other places to find troops to support the king!"

"Also, if your majesty encounters an accident, please ask the Empress Dowager to appoint a new emperor. The Qing Dynasty must not perish!"

"No, I won't leave. Even if the capital falls, I will never leave. Arrange people to escort the princes out of the capital!" The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said sternly.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Several loud noises were heard.

Everyone in the court was shocked.

"What was that sound just now?"

"It sounds like the sound of red cannons. Is someone attacking the palace?"

"How is it possible? It's only been a short time. How could the rebels be outside the imperial city so quickly?"

"Queen Mother, it's not too late to leave now. If you're any later, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

The Queen Mother suddenly calmed down: "I will sit here and see who is trying to overthrow my Qing Dynasty!"

The capital city is almost gone.

Now we don’t even know where the enemy came from.

The only thing we know is that the other side's flag has the words "Yanhuang" written on it.

Other than that, nothing else is known.

As the sound of cannons continued, the ministers present felt increasingly depressed.

A soldier of the imperial guards came running over in a hurry.

"Empress Dowager, gentlemen, the palace gate has been breached, and the enemy has entered the palace!"

Everyone present was numb.

"It's so fast. From the time the cannon sounded till now, it's probably been less than a quarter of an hour!"

"How on earth did they manage to break into the heavily guarded imperial palace in less than a minute?"

"Is it God's will to destroy the Qing Dynasty?"

On the wall of the palace.

Meng Tian, ​​Xu Da, Huo Qubing, Shi Shouxin and others who were teleported over have led their troops to tightly surround the imperial palace.

However, the Qing imperial guards were full of confidence.

Looking at the army around me, I feel that it is all due to merit.

Unexpectedly, Xu Da and others were not in a hurry to attack the city.

Hundreds of cannons were pulled out and aimed at the imperial city.

In order to avoid causing serious damage, the siege only selected a corner of the entire palace.

With the advancement of technology, the Krupp Cannon has been upgraded to the Krupp Cannon.

The gunpowder ratio of the shells is more advanced.

The power has been greatly improved.

Hundreds of cannons fired together.

After one round, the defenders on the front wall had disappeared.

The Qing army generals who were full of confidence just now had already been shattered into pieces.

The city wall in front was directly destroyed by artillery shells.

The Qing troops who were not affected were so frightened by this situation that no one came here to support.

Xu Da was the father-in-law of the allied commander.

He took the lead and rushed into the palace with his soldiers.

All the Qing troops who tried to block the attack fell under the powerful firepower of the Wanchao Allied Forces before they had a chance to demonstrate their fighting ability.

After being blocked several times, the remaining people no longer had the will to resist and laid down their weapons one after another.

At the entrance of the court, everyone in the palace gathered here.

The Queen Mother took a stool and sat quietly at the door.

He looked at the soldiers surrounding him without saying a word. (End of this chapter)
