Outside the Meridian Gate, there was already a crowd of people kneeling in darkness. Zhao Qiang took a cursory glance and estimated that there were no less than 300 officials, big and small.【】
"Commander, almost all the officials from the six yamen and the big and small yamen are here!"
As soon as the general appeared at the Wumen Gate, Qianhu Wu Fengqiu rushed to greet him and briefly explained the situation of the attack on various government offices.
Because Guan Ning's army rushed into the city of Beijing without warning, entering the outer city from Zhengyang Gate and rushing into the inner city without stopping for a moment, almost all the government offices in the inner city were taken advantage of with "zero resistance".
.Except for those who accompanied Kangxi's imperial commander to the expedition, the rest were either blocked in the yamen or surrounded in their respective mansions. No one knew what was going on. Only when the sword was held at the neck did they know that the city of Beijing was
They were defeated by the rebel army. Since most of them were officials, there was no fierce resistance. Except for a few who could not figure out whether to fight to the death or jump into a well and hit a wall, most of them were taken captive to the Meridian Gate.
"Commander, they said that after Kangxi came out of seclusion, he ordered his prince to supervise the country, and the great scholars Suo'etu, Alantai, Zhang Yu and others to assist the prince, Prince Su, Prince Jian and Mingzhu, Shang Fulun, Ge Sitai, Gao Shiqi
They all followed Kangxi to Shengjing. Yue Le went to Kouwai, and Marshal Eza and Jie knew that they were all in Shengjing."
Wu Fengqiu followed Zhao Qiang and walked towards the officials while continuing to report the situation in the capital.
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhuang Boguoduo, Prince Yu Fuquan, Prince Gong Changning, Duoluo Shuncheng County Prince Leerbei, Duoluo Keqin County Prince Luo Keduo, Beizi Xianghuang Banner Manchuria Dutong Surfa and other princes and clans have been surrounded in their respective
In the mansion, they can't fly out of Beijing even if they have wings, so they are waiting for the commander-in-chief to order them all to be killed." At this point, Wu Fengqiu remembered something and said hurriedly: "But it is said that the clan in Beijing now has only
That’s it.”
"That's it?" Zhao Qiang stopped when he heard this and was a little surprised: "He loves so many descendants of the Xinjieluo family, how can it be that's all?"
Wu Fengqiu explained: "They all came out with Kangxi. In order to deal with us this time, Kangxi made great efforts. Not only did he order all the military attachés at the Eight Banners Riding School in Beijing to go with the army, but most of the clan members also went.
Hehe, we didn’t expect that we would turn around and take away his nest! Damn it, only the marshal can think of this brilliant idea, otherwise, we would still be wasting our lives with Kangxi in Qingyuan! How could we be as happy as we are today!”
"We are also lucky. Kangxi was eager to deal with us and drained all the garrison in Beijing. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for us to take advantage of the loophole."
Zhao Qiang chuckled, his mouth modest, but his face looked very proud. The surprise attack on Beijing was definitely a stroke of genius, and it will definitely be talked about by future generations. The central government of the Qing Dynasty was wiped out in one pot, and neither the queen nor the prince escaped.
, the number of princes, ministers and officials captured by Wu Baiguan is probably comparable to that of the time when the Jin soldiers captured Bianjing. With such a brilliant result, as the framer, he has no reason not to feel proud and proud.
"Besides these princes, who are the first-rank ministers in Beijing?"
"Suo'etu, the Grand Master of the Ministry of Rites, Alan Tai, the cabinet bachelor, Zhang Yu, the chief scholar of the Hanlin Academy and the Han Shang of the Criminal Ministry, Ma Qi, the left governor of the Supervisory Academy, seven Manchu and Han Shang of each ministry, and other Manchu and Han ministers, in charge
, there are more than 400 officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, General Secretary, Dali Temple, and Taichang Temple."
After hearing Wu Feng's autumn report, Zhao Qiang quickly walked up to the officials who were being ordered to kneel on the ground. Some people in the crowd boldly looked up and glanced up, and then quickly buried their heads, because there was someone there when they arrived at the Meridian Gate.
A hundred or so eunuchs were dragging the body out.
It's over, it's over, the Qing Dynasty is over! Old Suo'etu burst into tears, and he and Alan Tai hugged each other and choked in a low voice. The palace was also occupied by thieves. The Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Crown Prince were all there.
Inside, half of the Qing Dynasty has collapsed. The traitors are all over the capital shouting that the emperor is dead, but they don’t know whether it is true or not. If the emperor also dies, the Qing Dynasty will really be over.
Carrying the corpses out one after another, when there were several children who were only a few years old, Suo'etu knew that they must be princes without asking, and his whole body suddenly turned to stone, with grief and anger overflowing on his face, and he could not bear to
He was about to howl loudly, but Zhang Yu next to him covered him up and shook his head at him.
At this time, all the officials were no longer divided into factions, and were extremely sad. They were all wailing softly. The reason why they did not dare to cry loudly was because several officials had been beheaded by the bandit soldiers for crying too loudly.
The head, the bloody head and body were not even dragged away, they were just lying there, which was very scary to look at.
When Zhao Qiang arrived at Suo'etu, he was very eye-catching with his nine-python and five-clawed crane.
After coldly glancing at these officials who were either grieving, trembling, angry or numb, Zhao Qiang did not immediately speak. Instead, he turned around and ordered the soldiers who were following him: "Go and send the order to Qi Wanhu.
Ask him to recruit troops in the outer city immediately and tell the people in the outer city that those who are willing to surrender to the army and kill a bannerman will be given ten taels of silver and ten acres of land! Tell Qi Zhuang that he must start the recruitment matter immediately. Within one day,
He has to recruit 30,000 soldiers for me! Even if he is tied up, he must tie up this number for me! Otherwise, his 10,000 households should not be enslaved!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, my subordinates will go and deliver the order right now!"
The soldier patted his chest, hurriedly led a war horse, turned over and went to deliver the order.
Zhao Qiang summoned another soldier: "Take people to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, find all the weapons in stock for me, and find some large carts to drag them to Qi Wanhu. In addition, send people to Qintian Prison to bring a
I asked the foreigner Nan Huairen to come over to me so that I can check how many red cannons there are in Beijing. After checking, I will send people to strictly control them. No one can use these cannons without my order!"
"Yes, handsome!"
When the soldier heard this, he waved his hand quickly, and immediately several fast horses followed him out of the Meridian Gate Square.
After arranging these things, Zhao Qiang ordered Wu Fengqiu: "Give them a share."
"One point?" Wu Fengqiu was startled: "How?"
Zhao Qiang said coldly: "Banner people should belong to the banner people, and Han people should belong to Han people." At this time, some soldiers moved a chair from the guard's office behind the Meridian Gate and placed it next to Zhao Qiang. Zhao Qiang saw this and laughed loudly.
He sat down and took off his long knife and handed it to the guard.
"Manguan stands on the left, Hanguan stands on the right!"
After listening to Zhao Qiang's instructions, Wu Fengqiu had already asked a hundred households to lead troops to separate these officials. Under the slashing and kicking of the back of the knife, more than 400 officials, big and small, were quickly divided into two halves, and one half was full of people.
Among the officials, half are Han officials, there are about 150 Manchu officials, and the rest are Han officials.
"Give them the knife."
When a group of Manchu and Han officials were at a loss and didn't know what the thieves were doing by separating them, they saw dozens of thieves suddenly rushing into the crowd holding several long swords, and then all the swords were thrown into the crowd.
He was thrown in front of the crowd of Han officials.
