Chapter 210: Risking Life (VI)
When the Thirteenth Prince came out of his palace, he saw people running everywhere on the street. Some were excited, some were scared. It was the twelfth lunar month, so there shouldn't be so many people. However, the people in the capital seemed to be full of fearless enthusiasm for watching the excitement.
In the past, the Eight Banners would have dispersed these people long ago. However, today, no Eight Banners appeared, which showed that things were really worse than imagined.
"Master, where are we going?" the guard asked anxiously.
Old Thirteen was also stunned. The news that reached his house said that there was a rebellion of the Eight Banners and a large number of people were killing people in the capital. Old Thirteen didn't really believe that there was a rebellion of the Eight Banners, but at this time, he heard the noise and the news that came. The Forbidden City, the Old Summer Palace, and the six departments of Qipan Street, there were "Eight Banner Soldiers" killing people everywhere. They really killed and chopped anyone they saw. With the few people in his house, he couldn't solve the "Eight Banner Rebellion" at all.
If it was really a rebellion by the Eight Banners, there would not be many options available. When Yongzheng ascended the throne, the situation was very unstable. The Thirteenth Prince was ordered to go to the Miyun Camp and stabilize the situation.
The Eight Banners of the Beijing Camp had tens of thousands of soldiers and were the main mobile field forces of the Qing Dynasty. They were divided into the Cavalry Camp, the Vanguard Camp, the Firearms Camp, the Guard Camp, etc. Since the Eight Banners of the Beijing Camp were basically stationed in the Miyun area, it was also called the Miyun Camp. The garrison in Miyun was extremely important and was generally controlled by the emperor himself. Without an imperial decree, even the princes and nobles had no right to mobilize them.
When Yongzheng ascended the throne, the Thirteenth Prince took the imperial edict and the gold medal. He was ordered to go.
If Old Thirteen went to the Miyun Camp this time, it would be a private transfer. Not to mention whether it was in accordance with the authority, it was hard to believe whether the people in the Miyun Camp would be willing to obey orders.
If the Miyun Camp could not obey orders, then they could only rely on the Eight Banners Infantry Camp and the Five Patrol Camps in the capital. However, these people were precisely the Eight Banners Army that was considered to be rebelling.
The Eight Banners Infantry Battalion was composed of Manchu and Mongolian children, and the five patrol battalions were drawn from the Green Camp Army. According to regulations, the mission of the Eight Banners Infantry Battalion was to patrol the surrounding areas to protect the capital. As for the strength of the Eight Banners Infantry Battalion, the Qing Dynasty had a clear organization. As early as the reign of Emperor Shunzhi, the strength of the Eight Banners Infantry Battalion had been formulated, totaling 21,158 people.
If the entire Eight Banners Infantry Battalion rebelled, Old Thirteen would never believe it. But it is very likely that a part of them rebelled. This involves a more complicated question: which battalion rebelled, or which part of the Eight Banners Army rebelled?
There is no information at this time and it is impossible to make any judgment.
After thinking about it, Old Thirteen made a decision, "Go to the Nine Gates Governor's Office!"
Just as the Thirteenth Prince rushed to the Nine Gates Admiralty, trying to take control of the defense of the capital, Yongzheng finally ended the beating stage, and Huo Chong, who rushed over, shouted loudly: "Stop beating him! Tie him up."
At Huo Chong's command, the soldiers immediately dragged Yongzheng and tied him to a rock nearby.
Looking at the man opposite him who he had a familiar impression of but had long since become unfamiliar with, Huo Chong said with a smile: "It is indeed the Fourth Master. Fourth Master, Fourth Master..."
After shouting a few times , it was seen that Yongzheng was beaten badly and was a little unconscious. Huo Chong shouted, "Aisin Gioro Yinzhen, did you hear that!"
When the voice shouted, Yongzheng suddenly woke up after hearing his full name and regained some normal consciousness.
Huo Chongming said: "Prepare to shoot!"
After saying that, he walked in front of Yongzheng. Yongzheng stared at Huo Chong for a while, then hesitantly said, "Are you Huo Chong?"
"Yes. Yinzhen, long time no see." Huo Chong replied.
"Cough cough..." Yongzheng was hit several times on the ribs and was injured. He couldn't help coughing twice. But after a moment, he knew that things had reached an unprecedented level. Considering the number of books Yongzheng had read, it was really rare in history for an emperor to be captured and killed like this.
"Huo Chong, are you trying to kill the emperor?" Yongzheng asked in a majestic voice.
Huo Chong was amused, "Haha! Regicide? You are a dog, why do you call yourself my monarch?"
Yongzheng was so cold and mean that he wanted to beat Huo Chong, but the rope was very strong and he couldn't struggle at all. Yongzheng felt that he could only use the strategy of delaying and deal with Huo Chong as much as possible. With every passing minute, the rescuer came a little closer.
"Huo Chong. The Manchus of our dynasty are like the Chinese people's native places. Ahem... Shun was a Dongyi, and King Wen was a Xiyi. How can this harm their saintly virtues?"
"Oh? Interesting." Huo Chong was a little shocked. However, the crimes of the Qing Dynasty in the eyes of the New China Industrial Party could not be washed away by such a sentence. Huo Chong sighed: "You are quite eloquent in the debate between Chinese and barbarians. However, if you know about it after you die, you may have a chance to hear a sentence. It is better to be friendly with foreign countries than to be domestic slaves. What you said just now can't save you."
After saying that, Huo Chong turned around and saw the commandos gathering together, each loading their guns.
The execution can be carried out by one person or ten people. As long as there is space, hundreds of people can also carry out the execution together.
Huo Chong immediately ordered: "Prepare a rope, and when the order is given, everyone will pull together!"
Hearing Huo Chong's calm tone, Yongzheng felt despair. The calmer he spoke, the more businesslike his attitude was, and the less tolerant he would be.
Thinking of death, thinking that he was going to be hanged by a group of traitors, Yongzheng asked hurriedly: "If I spare your life, will you believe it?"
Huo Chong turned his head and replied with a little regret: "Yinzhen, I'm afraid you won't believe me. In fact, I really don't want to kill you. But I must kill you. Taking you away is inconvenient, and it will not allow the Qing Dynasty to fight for power. So I have to kill you and leave your body here."
After saying this, Huo Chong really felt a little regretful. Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty , many had film and television works. Compared with Yongzheng's father Kangxi and Yongzheng's son Qianlong, Yongzheng actually had much fewer film and television works.
Therefore, the fact that Yongzheng can have a position in the Industrial Party is by no means due to the contribution of his film and television works alone.
Just from Yongzheng’s “Debate on Chinese and Barbarians”, Huo Chong felt that this guy was something.
However, these merits are insignificant compared to Huo Chong and the Han regime. Huo Chong strangled Yongzheng to death instead of being shot. This is because hundreds of bullets hitting Yongzheng would cause his body to explode, and even his head to explode. This would make it impossible for the Qing Dynasty to confirm that Yongzheng was dead.
If the news of Yongzheng's death had not been clearly conveyed to the Qing court, they would not have immediately launched an all-out internal struggle.
At this time, someone had brought a rope and put it around Yongzheng's neck. Yongzheng knew that he was doomed, and before the rope was tightened, he shouted at Huo Chong: "Huo Chong, how dare you kill the emperor! You must be cut into pieces and your entire clan must be exterminated. You will not die a good death!"
Huo Chong laughed a few times and replied, "Yinzhen, we'll meet in hell after we die."
Huo Chong waved his hand, and the soldiers on both sides immediately pulled the rope with all their strength. Those who were willing to risk their lives to come here were either absolutely loyal to Huo Chong or their families were killed by the Mongolian cavalry.
In order to calm their inner pain by avenging their loved ones, these people were not afraid of death. Now that they could execute the culprit, everyone tried their best.
Seeing Yongzheng's neck shrinking at an alarming speed, his face flushed red, and the shape was extremely tragic, Huo Chong couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Although he personally killed many people and commanded others to kill so many people, Huo Chong still couldn't stand the overly brutal situation. But this was Huo Chong's duty, he had the duty to watch the whole thing. Otherwise, it would be a betrayal .
Fortunately, there was strength in numbers and the rope was exceptionally strong. With the efforts of two hundred people, the rope strangled Yongzheng's head.
With a snap, the Qing emperor's neck, which was almost broken by the rope, could no longer bear the burden of his head and broke.
Yongzheng's head fell directly to the ground, rolled for a distance, and stopped in front of Huo Chong's feet.
Yongzheng is dead, and this daring battle plan has achieved its greatest goal!
