Chapter 51: Use internal and external forces to control the capital
As Qin Ran raised his hand,
Swish!
On both sides of the camp, thousands of men in black raised their muskets and pointed them at all the soldiers present.
Almost instantly, the soldiers all fell silent.
Qin Ran nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, everyone is afraid of death, and the truth is within range.
He took out a scroll-like object from his back and said slowly: "Suo'etu, the one who wants to rebel is not me, but you! Last night I received a secret report that the emperor was assassinated by a gangster and died!"
After hearing Qin Ran's words, all the soldiers became commotion again.
"Oh, by the way, Suo'etu, let me show you something!"
Qin Ran opened the scroll in his hand with a wanton smile, "This is the order conveyed by the Queen Mother last night. In accordance with the Queen Mother's decree, Suo Etu conspired to rebel and assassinate the emperor. The evidence is conclusive, and he will be killed on sight!"
As soon as these words came out, Suo'etu's face changed drastically, "How is this possible? How could the emperor die? You are talking nonsense!"
"Hmph!" Qin Ran sneered and threw the Queen Mother Yizhi directly in front of Suo'etu, "You can see for yourself whether it is true or not, I don't need to say more!"
Suo'etu picked up Yizhi, with a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes, "It's really the Queen Mother's Yizhi, this is impossible! How is this possible!"
He didn't wait to think too much.
Bang! Accompanied by the sound of a gunshot, black bullet holes appeared in the center of Suo'etu's eyebrows.
"Huh~" Qin Ran blew the smoke from the muzzle of the gun in his hand, then looked around at the officers and soldiers, and said calmly: "I also received a decree from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother ordered my troops to return to the court to stabilize the overall situation of the capital. Who among you objects?
?”
All the soldiers looked at each other and lowered their heads. What happened today was too ridiculous. First, the commander purged the dissidents in the army, and then heard the news that the emperor had passed away. In shock, the deputy general Suo'etu was killed by the Queen Mother's decree.
.
The events that happened one after another made all the remaining soldiers lose their thoughts on confronting Qin Ran.
Of course, this is also because most of the thorns in the army and spies from various forces were eliminated by Qin Ran in advance. Suo'etu was also deliberately left behind in order to kill chickens and respect monkeys.
With the assistance of five thousand Shenlong cult members, Qin Ran successfully integrated the 100,000-strong army, and all the officer positions in the army were replaced by his own people!
After gathering many large armies, Qin Ran directly gave up the idea of going south to attack Wu Sangui, directly changed the pace of the army's advance, and marched quickly in the direction of the capital!
The leader was a thousand-man cavalry led by A Ke.
The Qing court also had many troops stationed in various places, and it was not easy for Wu Sangui to advance quickly.
In the capital city, Kangxi's sudden death was bound to cause turmoil. This was the center of competition among all forces, and Long Er's status as queen mother alone would be difficult to suppress, but if coupled with the support of Qin Ran's 100,000 troops
, with internal and external efforts.
Within a few days, it was not impossible to control the entire court.
On the other side, after Kangxi died, Long Er quickly rushed to the scene and blocked the news. He tried his best to prevent the news of Kangxi's death from spreading and buy time for Qin Ran's arrival.
However, the palace is just a ventilated wall, with countless pairs of eyes staring at it all the time. How could such a big news about the emperor's death be concealed?
All forces in the capital received this shocking news, and for a while, the situation in the court became strange.
However, these have nothing to do with the people at the bottom of the capital. Everyone is still running around for firewood, rice, oil and salt as usual, and the same goes for the soldiers who are responsible for guarding the city gate. They lazily lean under the tower, chatting and spanking with each other.
Their superiors were too lazy to care about this. The Qing Dynasty had pacified the world for decades, and the capital had already become the most peaceful place. Even if they heard that there was a rebellion in Yunnan, they would not think that anyone would come to the capital.
"Huh? Why is the ground shaking!"
Soldier A stared at the slightly beating stones on the ground and said curiously.
"Haha, why is the ground shaking? You probably lost your head because you spent too much energy on the belly of the Yihongyuan woman yesterday!"
Soldier B said angrily, but soon he also noticed something was wrong. The ground was indeed shaking slightly, and there was a faint rumbling sound in the distance.
He subconsciously looked into the distance, but was shocked to see a long smoke dragon approaching quickly in the distance. It was a group of cavalry with as many as a thousand people.
Is there an enemy attack? Soldier B rubbed his eyes. What comforted him a little was that the flag of the cavalry was still the Qing Dynasty. However, the arrival of this army was not notified to the defenders in advance. According to regulations, he still needed to light it.
Beacon fire, to warn others.
Just when the two were about to climb the tower and light the beacon fire, many of the vendors and pedestrians walking around were communicating secretly with their eyes.
"Kill!" An old woman selling knitted goods suddenly stood up, took out a long sword from her knitted goods, and killed the soldiers guarding the city gate.
This seemed to be the beginning. Dozens of pedestrians rushed out almost at the same time, each holding a sharp weapon and a strong posture, and charged towards the city gate defenders.
If you look closely, you will see that almost all of these pedestrians are women. Even though they are women, they all seem to have good martial arts skills. Killing these soldiers who are not familiar with the battle is like killing chickens and dogs.
This was also arranged by Long Er, and it was also the last force in her hands, sent to assist Qin Ran in taking over the city gate.
Before the defenders in other directions could react, Ake had already led his troops into the capital and quickly took over the city gate.
For a moment, the capital was shaken, but before they could react, Qin Ran led a large army to the city.
One hundred thousand troops entered the capital one after another. At first, some defenders gathered and tried to resist. However, under Qin Ran's merciless butcher's knife, the defenders retreated leaving hundreds of corpses. Later, Qin Ran commanded the army to violently take over.
The walls, gates, and key locations throughout the capital.
He ordered A Ke, Shuang'er and other daughters to lead the Shenlong Sect's followers to supervise the various places. Then, Qin Ran led a thousand elites straight to the palace.
At first, the imperial guards guarding the palace refused to let Qin Ran in, but Long Er came forward in person. Kangxi had just died and the new master had not yet taken the throne. At this time, the Queen Mother had the highest status in the palace.
The commander of the guards could not resist the Queen Mother's decree, so he held Qin Ran's nose and let him in.
But the first thing Qin Ran did after entering the palace was to kill the guard commander on the spot and use the thousand elites he brought to take over the palace's guarding work.
Outside the Queen Mother's palace, there is a plain, white cloth and white lights everywhere, but inside the palace, red candles are swaying, and a table of exquisite wine and food has been prepared.
ps: After all, this is not a hegemony article, so I won’t write down the details in detail. The next world is set to be Tian Long Ba Bu. Considering whether the protagonist’s time-travel identity should be between Murong Fu and Duan Yu, or an original one, please give me some suggestions.
