Chapter 1003: The Sound of Cannons in Ginkgo Alley
Since the matter of Ginkgo Hutong is no longer a secret, it is not only Kangxi and the fake Empress Dowager Mao Dongzhu who know that Ginkgo Hutong is gathering rebellious parties, nor is it only Suo Etu and Duolong, who replaced the dead Ruidong and was elected as the head of the internal guard.
A group of people from King Mu's Mansion also knew the news.
To say that the group of people in Mu Wangfu is really sad, Bai Hansong died, and he went to find the Heaven and Earth Society to settle accounts, but he didn't find it, but he lost Mu Jianping and Fang Yi, and when he was very annoyed, he suddenly learned that Heaven and Earth would buy a large piece of real estate in Ginkgo Hutong in the west of the city, and he drank day and night to celebrate, and the group of people in Mu Wangfu suddenly exploded.
The people of Mu Wangfu not only hated each other, but also felt humiliation that they had never felt before. Will you heaven and earth beat our people to death in vain? Don't you treat Mu Wangfu as a dish, right?
According to the meaning of Wu Lishen, the shaking lion, he immediately gathered people to Ginkgo Hutong to fight to the death with the Heaven and Earth Society, but his senior brother Liu Dahong, the iron-backed dragon, did not see it that way.
Now the seventy-year-old Liu Dahong became famous very early, even earlier than the Golden Snake Langjun Xia Xueyi and the invincible Divine Fist Gui Xin Shu, in addition to the iron-backed Canglong, he also has a nickname called Megatron Tiannan, which is enough to prove his high martial arts and reputation. It's just that this person has always only been active in the Kunming area, and although his reputation has spread all over the rivers and lakes, he has never traveled north, so he has never intersected with the disciples of the Huashan faction or the Golden Snake Langjun.
Seventy-year-olds naturally grow old.
Liu Dahong believes that if he comes directly to ask for the crime, Mu Wangfu will definitely lose in the fight. When it comes to fighting alone, no one is sure that he will defeat Jia Jindao, who is angry and worshipping in the midst of the ten thousand armies; when it comes to group fights, the number of people in Beijing is ten times that of Mu Wangfu, and there is no chance of victory.
Therefore, Liu Dahong decided that this matter can only be reasonable, if the reason does not make sense, at least he must set a Wenbi ring, and win or lose in three games and two wins, so that he can avoid the god-like Jia Jindao.
Since Liu Dahong, as the principal, has set the tone, he can only follow this line of thought, but the little grandfather Mu Jiansheng added another proposal, he proposed to write a letter to Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, and invite Chen Jinnan to come to Beijing to theorize about this dispute.
Liu Dahong thought that Mu Jiansheng's proposal was very reasonable, and immediately made a decision, sent someone to the chief helm of the Fujian Tiandi Association to deliver a letter, and went to Ginkgo Hutong The theory was put on hold for the time being.
There is another reason why he made such a decision, that is, the Heaven and Earth Society is so lively in Beijing, could it be that the Qing court just let it go? He does not believe that Kangxi will allow the Heaven and Earth Society to continue to be so arrogant, and will inevitably mobilize forces to deal with the Heaven and Earth Society in the near future.
Not to mention that the Qing court and heaven and earth will pinch who wins and who loses, only that while they are fighting, the defense in the Forbidden City will inevitably be lax, and Liu Dahong plans to take this opportunity to forcibly attack the palace at night and assassinate Kangxi directly.
The assassination of Kangxi is the only purpose for the master of Mu Wangfu to come out to Beijing!
As long as you kill Kangxi, you are not afraid that heaven and earth will not bow down!
Liu Dahong's prediction was accurate, and one night a month later, before the person who had gone to Fujian to deliver the letter had returned, he waited for an earth-shattering explosion.
To be exact, it should be several explosions that have been together for a long time.
The sound of explosions resounded throughout the city, shaking the earth, shaking houses, and waking up the people who had fallen asleep with the collapse of the walls of some old houses that had fallen into disrepair.
Twenty years ago, the old Beijingers who had experienced two sieges by the Qing army could hear that it was the roar of artillery.
Unlike the siege of the city, the roar of the cannons came from inside the city, to be precise, from the west of the city, near Ginkgo Hutong.
The deafening sound of cannon fire rang out, and a raging fire ignited in the west of the city, burning half of the sky red.
Everyone in Mu Wangfu flew up to the roof, looking at the firelight in the west, Liu Dahong palpitated and said: "I didn't expect that the Tartars would use such a means of extermination!
Wu Lishen, who had also witnessed artillery battles when the Qing army captured Yunnan, muttered: "Listening to the sound, there are hundreds of cannons. ”
Liu Dahong and Wu Lishen guessed correctly, this cannon sound was indeed the Qing court's action.
The mastermind of this bombardment of Ginkgo Hutong was Kangxi himself.
After two mutinies among soldiers, and two commanders of Jiumen, Wu Liuyi and Duolong, even Kangxi thought that something was suspicious.
Garrisoned in Beijing is an elite division that has experienced a hundred battles, since it is an elite division, how can the military spirit be so weak?
If Kangxi didn't know much about the garrison under the command of Wu Liuyi when he was in power, then after he appointed Duolong to take office, this army was always in his attention.
Doron's rectification measures were all reported to him, and even some of them were instructed by him, the emperor. In this case, it is difficult to explain that after the arrest of many rebel women thirty miles southwest of Beijing, there will be a mutiny.
Then he got a hint from the Queen Mother, and that day he went to greet the Queen Mother as usual, and talked about the current unstable situation in Beijing, and the Queen Mother once said: "Perhaps this mutiny was not the original intention of the soldiers, but should have been controlled by some force, and the soldiers had no choice but to do it." ”
The fake Empress Dowager Mao Dongzhu was able to come to such a conclusion, of course, from Deng Bingchun's personal experience. And Kangxi, of course, didn't know that the Queen Mother was fake, he was convinced of this woman who taught him martial arts in Wudang, and along this line of thought, he found Duolong and asked Duolong to investigate in detail the survivors of the mutiny among the soldiers who had experienced mutiny but had not yet mutinied, and sure enough, he found all kinds of suspicious things.
For example, when there were many mutinous soldiers, when they defected, the words in their mouths were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, what is going on?
Kangxi went to consult the Queen Mother with this question, and the Queen Mother said: "There is indeed a kind of kung fu in this world that can control others to do things that go against their hearts. ”
The fake Empress Dowager Mao Dongzhu came from the Shenlong Sect, of course, she knew that the sect leader Hong Antong had taught her subordinates a kind of exercise, when facing the enemy, this kind of exercise can not only improve your own combat effectiveness, but also reduce the enemy's morale, intimidate the enemy's courage, and often can receive the effect of victory without a fight.
Of course, she couldn't explain the secret biography of the sect to Kangxi in detail, only briefly mentioned it, Kangxi believed it, and became worried when he went back - according to the Queen Mother, how many soldiers to send to clear Ginkgo Hutong is also in vain.
Then he summoned the commander of the Nine Gates, Duolong, and the new head of the guard, Suo Etu, to discuss the strategy, and told the enemy about this miraculous ability, Suo Etu offered a plan: "The first two mutinies of the soldiers were all dignified and upright marching and suppressing, and the enemy was prepared first, so we could control our soldiers......
Suo Etu's plan was to secretly mobilize the artillery from the inventory of the troops in the capital and transport it to Ginkgo Hutong three or five miles away in the dead of night.
In this era, people have a deep enough understanding of firearms, and it is well known that no matter how high the martial arts are, as long as they are hit by firearms, there is no reason to survive. The shortcomings of firearms are only that the interval between firing is long and the preparation time is long, but since Suo Etu's plan is a sneak attack, these shortcomings do not exist.
As long as the number of artillery pieces is sufficient, then after only one round of shelling, the capital can be in peace for a long time.
