Chapter 428: Yang Qilong Uprising
Just when Princess Jianning was crying bitterly and grief-stricken, a eunuch outside came to report: "Your Majesty! Galeries Lafayette! Oh no! Big things are wrong! It's messy out there! It's messy! ”
"What's going on?" Bumu Butai stood up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The little eunuch knelt on the ground: "The slave got the report, and someone outside rebelled!" There are thieves who claim to be the third prince of Chongzhen! Gathered a group of mobs and rebelled in the capital! ”
In the city of Beijing, Yang Qilong's generals Huang Ji and Chen Yi suddenly launched an uprising, Yang Qilong called himself the third prince of Chongzhen, declared that he was against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, with a group of Han Eight Banners and Baoyi minions who had not forgotten the Ming Dynasty, and suddenly broke out. About 200 Han Eight Banners and more than 900 clothed minions participated in the uprising.
In Wu Yingxiong's forehead mansion, Wu Yingxiong listened to the gunshots and explosions outside, and felt relieved in his heart, he knew that Yang Qilong had already started an incident, at least his eldest son Wu Shifan could escape.
However, Wu Yingxiong himself didn't plan to run away, because he had his thoughts, the housekeeper and the high-class maid in the house were all from Princess Jianning, and his every move was under the supervision of Princess Jianning. If she wants to escape the capital, I believe that Princess Jianning will ignore the love of husband and wife, and will definitely let people take her down and send it to the emperor.
Wu Yingxiong called several of his cronies in the house: "There is already a fight over there in the drum tower, you should follow Yang Qilong!" A few more people, but also one more strength! ”
"Little Prince!" The cronies knelt on the ground and couldn't stand on their knees.
"Hurry up!" Wu Yingxiong made a gesture, "This son can't leave!" The housekeeper Wu Fu is the princess's person, as long as the prince of this world leaves, he will be caught back by them! Hurry up! ”
Several cronies said with tears in their eyes: "Little prince! We're not leaving! To die, we die together! ”
Wu Yingxiong said: "You are dead, who will avenge this son?" Come on! Leave this life, remember in the future, and avenge this son! If this son of the world encounters misfortune, you must cut off the head of the Dog Emperor with your own hands! ”
Yang Qilong's rebel army was not many in number, only more than 1,000 people, but they were all equipped with crossbow machines, handcuffs and powerful grenades, because the main force of the rebel army was either a banner man or a clothed minion, they lived in the inner city of Beijing on weekdays, and the Qing court did not expect that an uprising broke out in the inner city of the banner people!
Originally, in real history, Yang Qilong's uprising was caused by the head of the family who was clothed and slaved to inform, which led to the failure of the uprising. And in this time and space, Yang Qilong launched an uprising six years in advance, which may be the credit of the Eight Banners special offerings, but no one of the masters of the family knew about it, and as a result, no one kept it secret, and the capital was in chaos.
"Ignition!" Yang Qilong shouted.
The torches in the hands of the rebels were thrown at the houses of the bannermen on both sides, and the rows of houses of the bannermen were on fire. The northwest wind was raging, and the fire quickly burned into a piece by the wind.
The Eight Banners garrison troops in the capital urgently assembled and came to intercept Yang Qilong's rebel army.
The first to arrive were the Zhengbai Banner and the Eight Banners Army with the White Flag stationed near Dong'anmen.
These Eight Banners troops stationed in the capital have distinct armor and look majestic, but in fact, they have long been silver-like pewter spearheads, and they have long been decayed. Although those Eight Banners soldiers have not yet degenerated into a weak bow that can only shoot a range of five meters and zero armor-piercing ability like the Second Opium War later, because they are addicted to walking birds and shopping every day, listening to operas and drinking tea, and drawing special offerings of the Eight Banners, this army has long been a group of waste, they can only shoot a weak bow with a range of 20 meters, and no matter how strong the bow is, it will not be able to pull. A weak bow with a range of twenty meters is not as long as a short gun.
More than 2,000 Eight Banner Army encountered more than 1,000 rebel troops in the narrow streets, although the Eight Banners Army was large in number, but it could not deploy its forces in the narrow streets, and the cavalry could not attack in a roundabout way, so they could only attack the rebel army head-on.
"Put!" Yang Qilong gave an order.
Crossbow arrows and short guns shot out a dense stream of feathered arrows and projectiles, and the Eight Banners cavalry who rushed head-on fell one after another.
The rows of rebels in front raised their spears, and the rushing Eight Banners cavalry could not turn around in the narrow streets, and there was nowhere to dodge. If the people in front stop their horses, the people behind will collide again, and they can only rush up to the spear array. As a result, a large platoon of Eight Banner cavalry collided with spears and was pierced into a hornet's nest, although several rebels were knocked away, but the losses of the Eight Banners cavalry were much greater than that of the rebel army with only infantry!
The Eight Banners soldiers behind couldn't stop and crashed into each other. The cavalry who rushed in front of the comparison directly mounted the horse repelling rifle. Comparing the cavalry behind, they collided with the horses and the corpses of the cavalrymen in front, and suddenly the horses stumbled and fell off their horses.
With the sound of the clash of horses and metal, the Eight Banners cavalry crowded into a group.
"Cast!" Yang Qilong gave an order, and rows of grenades were thrown over, and they fell in the crowd of Eight Banners soldiers and exploded into a group of fires, and the Eight Banners cavalry who were huddled together suffered heavy losses, and the undead war horses directly startled the group, and they ran rampant on the streets, knocking many Eight Banners soldiers off their horses, and many people were trampled into meat paste.
The white flag and the white flag were defeated, and the other six banners of the Eight Banners, as well as the pro-military battalion, the forward battalion, the guard battalion and other Eight Banner forbidden troops were also mobilized, and rushed to Dongcheng District, where the accident occurred, to extinguish Yang Qilong's rebel army.
Although it is said that there are many Eight Banner Armies in the capital, some of them were taken away by Aobai earlier and went to the south; Later, Kangxi and Bumu Butai formed the Eight Banners New Army, which was taken away by Tuhai and went to Huguang, and the number of Eight Banners Army in the capital is not large, but the strength of the Eight Banners Forbidden Army to protect the safety of the imperial city is still guaranteed. In the city, in addition to the defeated white flag and inlaid white flag, the remaining six banners still have 6,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion, in addition to more than 10,000 Janissaries such as the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Forward Battalion, the Escort Battalion, the Infantry Battalion and the Jianrui Battalion, plus the Green Battalion of the capital, there are more than 20,000 troops in the city.
Although the Qing army was large in number, it was unable to exert its strength in the narrow and chaotic streets, and when it collided with the rebel army on the front, the Qing army was immediately crushed.
The fire spread to the inner city, and the people of the banner people in the city were also in chaos, and the people of the Eight Banners who fled from their houses in embarrassment were crowded together with the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners running around on the street, trampling on each other, and countless people died. In addition, some people spread rumors that the army had entered the city, causing even more chaos.
The large number of Qing troops not only could not deploy their troops, but were crowded on the street by the outpouring of banner people, clothed slaves, and they did not dare to kill the banner people, because the flag people were already small, and the eight banners were the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.
"My lord, the situation is very good, should we attack the Forbidden City and cut off the head of the Tartar Dog Emperor in one fell swoop?" Yang Qilong's subordinate Shi Guozhu made a suggestion.
