Chapter 319: The Forbidden Palace of Blood
"Long live, it looks like it's going to rain now, why don't you move to the Qianqing Palace?"
He Shen said cautiously.
Qianlong looked up at the dark night sky, and a drop of water landed on his lips.
"Spread the decree and give a banquet to the Qianqing Palace!"
He said, waving.
It's just where the commotion came from?
He looked at the eunuch beside him with a puzzled expression.
"The emperor has a decree to give a banquet to the Qianqing Palace, civil and military officials, old villagers, and tribute envoys of all feudal domains, and enter the Qianqing Palace to celebrate the birthday of the Qing Dynasty and celebrate the prosperous Qing Dynasty together!"
The eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.
The civil and military officials who were performing in front of the noon gate immediately shouted thanks, and then got up and walked towards the noon gate, and the trembling old men also followed with crutches, and even those vassal tribute envoys walked towards the Qianqing Palace together, the distance is not close, it must be nearly a thousand meters! However, in order to reflect the joy with the people, Qianlong walked with those trembling old guys, under the canopy and various ceremonial guards, just like a TV performance, even the ministers and thousands of people paraded under the lights It was also spectacular, especially those old guys, one by one around Qianlong, many people shed tears of excitement.
These are all old countrymen.
How can ordinary poor people be qualified to come to the palace.
Many of these former officials who have returned to their hometowns are excited to see the sky again at this time, and to serve the emperor again.
Because of the fact that the north and the south are separated, these old villagers are all from the northern provinces, and they have no choice but to unite around Qianlong and protect their industries with the help of the Mongolian cavalry and the Eight Banners Army, so their loyalty to Qianlong at this time is also without any performance component, and the Qing dynasty and the opposition at this time can be said to be united.
Of course, they didn't know that it was all over the place.
Because just as this team entered the noon gate, another team also entered the Donghua Gate.
At this time, all the palace maids, eunuchs, guards, soldiers and the like near Donghua Gate were attracted to serve the emperor, after all, there were more than 1,000 old coffins there, maybe which one would fall halfway when excited, all the manpower in the palace was on the line from the noon gate to the Qianqing Palace, there were only a few defenders in Donghua Gate, this is the east gate of the palace, but the Dong'an Gate of the imperial city is still separated from the outside world, and it is not a key point of defense at all, and it is actually a few guards. Under the guidance of the eunuch, there was no obstacle at all, seventy or eighty Buddhas wearing monks' robes entered the Donghua Gate, and quickly passed through the empty bachelor's hall where no one could be seen, and when they were close to the Concord Gate, all the Buddhas took off their monks' robes and took out flintlock pistols and bayonets tied to their bodies from inside, and some even brought out ceramic grenades with black powder, which were all made by the old craftsmen and believers who were on errands in the Ministry of Industry, and even the barrels and other parts were made in the workshops under the Ministry of Industry and then stolen.
Different from the Tianli Sect in the original history, at this time, Lin Qing's team of men and horses was far beyond in terms of organizational ability and equipment level.
After all, the influence of the Holy Sect is far from being comparable to that of the Celestial Doctrine.
In particular, many Han people in Beizhili have experienced the last time Yang Feng made trouble in Beijing and Tianjin, and the image of the immortals has already been established, whether it is the Han people who have enjoyed the explosion of the imperial city in the outer city of Beijing, or those who have participated in the carnival in Tianjin, they are all preparatory believers of the Holy Sect, and then as soon as the Holy Sect version of the Bagua Sect spreads, they will not hesitate to devote themselves to it. At this time, there were no less than 100,000 followers of the Holy Sect in the Beijing and Tianjin areas, but they carried the name of the Bagua Sect, and the Bagua Sect had been spreading in Beijing and Tianjin for many years, and the local officials all turned a blind eye, and even hooked up to collect money. Originally, in history, Lin Qing shouted the slogan of rebellion from the tenth year of Jiaqing, and then Tianli Sect spread semi-openly in Beijing for eight years, during which almost all the magistrates knew, but no one took care of it, not only developed eunuch believers, but even developed banner people believers, just before he started at least three batches of informants, still no one cared, and finally let him enter the palace.
With these believers as their support, it is easy for Lin Qing and these people to do whatever they want.
Otherwise, there would not be so many eunuchs in this palace.
At this time, even the eunuchs who were responding to them took a few grenades made of ceramic jars, or thunderbolts, and then rushed straight to the Concord Gate with Lin Qing and others with flintlock pistols with bayonets.
Before and after arriving at the door, the eunuch who led the way kicked the door open without hesitation.
Qianlong just turned his head.
The eunuch smiled at him, and then threw a fuse burning grenade in one hand from the opening of the Concord Gate without hesitation, and several Ouchi guards with their backs to the Concord Gate did not react, and looked at the thing under their feet in amazement, and the next moment the fire of the explosion suddenly expanded, and the huge explosion instantly shattered the peace of the palace.
"There are thieves!"
Qianlong exclaimed.
An old eunuch in his eighties next to him sat directly on the ground in a trembling manner.
In the smoke of gunpowder, the dead soldiers led by Lin Qing shouted and poured out, and most of the Qing troops in the square in front of them did not react, these dead soldiers raised their guns as quickly as possible and aimed at the front regardless of who the target was, anyway, just pull the trigger and hit, after a round of bullets, they directly held the bayonet as a spear, no matter whether the guards or officials or even those old villagers saw one by one, dozens of dead soldiers killed into thousands of people like tigers, and some people kept throwing clay pot grenades.
This thing isn't actually very lethal, but this thing is scary.
The explosion threw the whole square into chaos.
And because the officials and the elders are the first to go, they are behind the musket team, at this time the musket team has not yet entered the noon gate, the square is mainly the guard camp and the Ouchi guards, at this time if the Eight Banners Army is a waste, then they are the waste of the waste, those pure noble children come to the palace to gild the so-called Ouchi guards, but not the legendary martial arts masters, in fact, most of them are smoked enough to come, at this time suddenly changed, one by one stupidly looked at the bayonets rushing towards their own dead soldiers, Many people even forgot to draw their knives, and watched in amazement as the bayonet stabbed into their chests, and even if they reacted, they did not resist, but hugged their heads and scurried.
Seeing this scene, Qianlong was about to cry.
This is his inner guard, this is his upper three banners!
It used to be the name of the invincible on the battlefield.
And Qianlong was also tragic at this time.
He was surrounded by the old villagers and sages and walked forward, in this case, how could those eighty or ninety old coffins not be chaotic, they were crowded in chaos with crutches crying and shouting, and there were simply scared to the ground and sobbing, more than a thousand people, Qianlong was squeezed in the middle by such a group of guys It is conceivable. You must know that he is also eighty years old, he is like a small boat in the wind and waves by those old buddies stumbling, the surrounding eunuchs are so frightened that they all throw away the honor guard and run, only He Shen squeezed over to help him, but they can't get out of this chaos. At this time, the whole square completely turned into a frightened duck farm, those palace maids and eunuchs were running in all directions, those old villagers were crowding and even trampling, those officials were also running, even the Ouchi guards were running, everyone was desperately crowding and trampling to escape, and no one dared to resist.
Fortunately, there is still a reliable one called Gui.
After squeezing out the equally chaotic ranks of officials, the battle-hardened Gui pulled back several Ouchi guards with a cane as quickly as he could.
"Fight back, what are dozens of thieves afraid of!"
He roared angrily.
Immediately after that, he drew his saber from one of the Ouchi guards and was the first to rush towards Lin Qing.
His status in the hearts of the banner people is almost second only to Qianlong, this old guy who is also more than seventy years old is the number one important minister of the Qianlong court, whether it is the powerful Hezhongtang or the past invincible Fukangan, in front of him have to be honestly automatic shorter, he took the lead in the charge, so that those guards and soldiers in the guard camp quickly calmed down, after finding that the enemy is really only a few dozen, including some military attaches also began to step forward to kill the enemy, after all, they have thousands of people, Moreover, the musket team behind and the soldiers on the city wall are coming, if it is a normal situation, the attack of Lin Qing and the others will end here, however......
"Boom!"
The flames of the explosion at the Xihua Gate rose.
"Boom!"
The sound of an explosion in the direction of Qianqing Palace came.
"Don't mess around, it's important to protect the emperor!"
Ah Gui looked at the panicked Ouchi guards and shouted.
While speaking, Lin Qing came to him, and the rifle with the bayonet was stabbed in the chest, Ah Gui hurriedly swung the knife away, and at the same time, those Ouchi guards also started a bloody battle with those dead soldiers, I have to say that at this time, the Ouchi guards were really useless, several times the strength but still couldn't stop Lin Qing, these holy cult fanatics who came with the belief of death, fiercely and constantly stabbed a famous Ouchi guard with a bayonet, and even if they were injured, they didn't care about their own injuries, even if they exchanged their lives for their lives, they had to stab their opponents to death, After the initial courage, those Ouchi guards suddenly revealed their true form, and even some began to flee again.
"Those who dare to escape from the battle will be punished by the Nine Clans!"
Ah Gui roared as he fought with Lin Qing.
He is really vomiting blood now, and thousands of Ouchi guards and guards have been pressed and beaten by less than a hundred enemies, which will have to be angry again if those fierce generals of Aobai are resurrected.
Fortunately, at this time, a team of musketeers finally squeezed out of the old countrymen.
However......
"What the hell is that?"
He was about to help his grandfather Gui's musket team leader Na Yancheng when he inadvertently raised his head, and then looked at the sky and screamed in horror.
Everyone around him looked up.
In the dark night sky, a huge colorful flower slowly fell, and a golden figure could be seen below this flower, shining like a god in the light below, and in his hand was a giant knife one foot long......
