C237 phalanx (1/2)
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a peasant uprising that shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. It directly changed the situation of the Qing Dynasty and shook its foundation. There was no need to analyze his significance, just the matter of the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was already different from the other peasant uprisings.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ran amok in Jiangnan for 13 years, and at the peak of his career, he had even shocked China by fighting to the point where even the powerhouses of Xiyang City were considering building a relationship with him. This was a nightmare in the hearts of all the Manchu s. Just mentioning the name would cause fear in the heart of the short-lived empire.
Prince Kung was about to go crazy. The fangirls and ox horns that followed his orders to call the police were blown, alerting everyone in the Forbidden City.
The reaction of the Shuntian Palace and the minister of nine city gates was not as fast as the secret guards of the Forbidden City. The Prince Kung was currently a very important member of the imperial family in the Manchu, and all the diplomatic affairs of the entire empire depended on him. As the Emperor's blood uncle, his life and death was related to the safety of the imperial family.
The secret protectors of the Forbidden City were the first wave of operations. The Old Ancestor actually brought his subordinates and personally came out, the Royal House and the Forbidden City were not far from each other.
The old ancestor's gray hair was fluttering in the wind, and beside him were dozens of disciples and grandsons. These people flew on the roof like ghosts, and the entire group was like a sharp knife as they charged towards Gong Wang Manor.
Just as the team passed through the ice of the rear sea, countless men in black suddenly appeared on both sides of the sharp knives. The team quickly fell into an ambush.
”How dare the Firefly's Light compete with Haoyue? How dare a little trash like him be so impudent! ”Children …” The Old Ancestor still wanted to shout a few words to suppress the formation, but the other party didn't say anything and instead took out his gun and started firing rapidly.
”Shameless …” You are the shame of martial artists! ”Disgraceful, disgraceful to our ancestors …” When the white-haired old ancestor saw that his four grandsons were shot by the Gun as they were unable to dodge in time, he madly scolded them in anger.
The appearance of the Gun changed the world, especially the hearts of the people. People like the Old Ancestor and those from the martial arts world hated the Gun the most, because this kind of weapon changed the soil on which they depended and the Gun was the main culprit behind the extinction of the Chinese martial arts.
”Abuse of Gun, assassination of the prince, hatred of the nation are all in front of you … The children will kill them all... ” With an order from the Old Ancestor, the entire group split into two and charged towards the encirclement.
They pretended to attack the Residence of Prince Gong in order to attract the attention of the entire government. They wanted to call out the Old Ancestor and the other capable people, and the God Thief Group was already lurking in the vicinity of the Donghua Gate.
The Taiyuan Hospital and the imperial pharmacy were located in the east three of the Forbidden City, on the east side of the Preservation Hall of the Supreme Harmony Hall, and to the north was the Supreme Ocean Palace. This was where all the doctors in the imperial palace gathered.
The height of the Forbidden City's walls were around nine meters. It was hard to find a place to stay at a height of three floors compared to the common people, but it was hard for the Green Forest's experts who came from high places to do so.
No matter how powerful the fort was, it could be broken from the inside. At this time, the Qing Dynasty had long since lost its vigor from when it was founded. After hundreds of years of chaos, there were even traitors within the imperial government and even the Baji. Although they did not formally betray the imperial government, their greedy hearts could no longer resist the corrosion of money. They actually even dared to pry open a crack in the Forbidden City's iron net.
Under the east wall of the Forbidden City, six black figures quickly shot through the frozen river. After they crouched down by the wall and imitated the call of the pigeons, two long ropes hung down from them.
The six of them used their hands and legs to climb up to the top of the city wall. All of them were as nimble as apes and monkeys. The eight guards on top of the city wall stared nervously into the distance, afraid that the patrolling officers would appear at this critical moment.
”F * ck, the eight of us are in the business of raising money. Three thousand silver taels for each of us. Hurry up and give us the money …”
”Fuck, can I cheat you? This is 10,000 taels of silver, treat it as a deposit. When we leave the city safely, there will naturally be people who will send the remaining money to your homes …”
”Damn, what if you guys change your mind? What if I don't admit to it? ” The eight-standard bodyguard glared at him, holding his steel sword in his hand as if he would fall out at any moment.
”Tsk tsk tsk tsk …” What do you mean? You want the full sum now? There is no such rule in the underworld... If you have the guts, then chop at me. Your head is right here. ”If you dare to chop, laozi will scream …”
The guarding soldiers were so angry that their hands were trembling. ”Good, good, good. If you can be alone, then I'll bet this on it. You guys go down to the city, directly in front of the East Three Sites …”
The six masked men quickly disappeared from under the city wall and approached the east three buildings. It was already 1: 30 in the morning.
Just at dusk, an unknown eunuch sent a terrifying message. His grandson had already fallen into the hands of the thieves, if he wanted to live, then he had to cooperate obediently. Tonight, someone would come to retrieve an Eight Treasures Violet Gold Ingot, and it was even the most precious imitation technique.
The recipe for the purple gold ingot was too complicated, it was just like Old Lord Taishang's method of concocting pills, he definitely needed all the Taoist temple on Mount Wudang to pick 108 famous herbs, gather the world's spiritual energy, and use the Taoist secret method to refine them. This secret drug had a miraculous effect on children, and it could cure 100 poisons. Rumor has it that the most exaggerated one was even able to cure the poison from arsenic.
Of course, Imperial Physician Wang didn't quite agree with these rumors, but there was no doubt about the value of this secret purple-gold ingot. Kang Yongqian III had once made this ingot under decree, but because the failure rate was too high, only 36 had been kept in the Imperial Pharmacy, and the Imperial Court had not opened any more furnaces since Daoguang years ago.
