Chapter 241

Zhou You was able to break into the city so quickly and capture the inner city in one go. Emperor Xianfeng and the Qing dignitaries never expected that Emperor Xianfeng in the palace had no time to escape. Zhou You and Lin Fengxiang led the troops in the blink of an eye Killed in front of him.

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the dignitaries and officials of the Qing Dynasty who came to discuss the matter were panic-stricken. Under the plaque, the sickly-faced Emperor Xianfeng looked at Zhou You and the others who came in like wolves and tigers, his face became paler and sluggish. , after a short cough, finally said with a flushed face of despair and indignation: "Wait...you wait..."

"The Qing Dynasty is over, your throne is over, and your life is over," Zhou You said directly, looking at Emperor Xianfeng indifferently.

Hearing Zhou You's words, the trembling Emperor Xianfeng coughed again, and then fell off the dragon chair with a mouthful of blood, and fell down and rolled down, scaring all the dignitaries and ministers in the palace He became more and more flustered: "Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty has passed away..." Sushun, the most trusted imperial minister of Emperor Xianfeng, saw Emperor Xianfeng lying on the ground pale and motionless. When he stepped forward to help him up, he found that Emperor Xianfeng had died. He was out of breath, and he couldn't help trembling all over his body.

Immediately, under Zhou You's and Lin Fengxiang's astonished eyes, the whole hall fell to its knees and burst into tears. It was unclear whether they were really crying for the Qing court, Emperor Xianfeng, or their own fate.

"The emperor of Qing Yao just died like this, it's too cheap for him," although Emperor Xianfeng vomited blood and died, but Lin Fengxiang still felt a little unwilling. After all, he and Li Kaifang led more than 2 Taiping troops to the Northern Expedition before, but the result was casualties Most of the time, he wished he could eat the flesh and blood of the Qing Yao Emperor!

Zhou You was much calmer: "Death is dead, the fall of the Qing Dynasty is inevitable. Well, let our people take control of the entire capital as soon as possible! Strict military discipline, do not wanton killing and looting, those who violate the order will be killed without mercy! "

"The brothers are all crazy, I'm afraid it's hard to restrain them," Lin Fengxiang shook his head and said: "After all, they all came from poor backgrounds, and now they have entered the capital with us, like knives out of their sheaths , I’ve seen blood, how can I take it back?”

"Because of this, strict restraint is required, otherwise military discipline will be broken. Don't forget, although we have invaded the capital, the Qing court still has many troops around and around the capital. Shengbao's troops He Seng Gelinqin's remnant soldiers should be coming soon, we have to be prepared to defend the city, it doesn't mean we can rest easy if we capture the capital!" Zhou Youlian said.

Lin Fengxiang nodded slightly when he heard that, and then glanced at the Manchu dignitaries and ministers who were crying bitterly in the hall, and said: "Restraint is to be restrained, but those Manchu dignitaries and Qing court ministers..."

"Manchu officials and Qing dignitaries all ransacked their homes and sent them to prison. Anyone who resisted would be killed without mercy. Han officials who refused to surrender to us will also be sent to prison. Then slowly review, post a list to calm the people, and let the people of the capital come. To sue and seek justice for them, as long as the powerful, officials, evil gentry and wealthy households have bad deeds, oppress and bully or even harm the people, those who deserve to be killed will be punished, and those who should be punished will be punished, and part of the confiscated property will be used to compensate the sufferer," Zhou You said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Lin Fengxiang's eyes brightened, and Lin Fengxiang nodded thoughtfully. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Fu Wang, what a good idea! In this way, not only will the Qing Yao and those evil gentry and dignitaries be punished, but also quickly calm people's hearts, and get the capital The support of the people. No wonder, before in Shandong, Fu Wang was able to gather tens of thousands of horses in just two or three months."

"It's all about following the trend. In all dynasties, if you want to win the world, the right time and place are indispensable, but the most important thing is to let the people live a good life and win the hearts of the people. Only in this way can they develop rapidly and achieve long-term stability," Zhou You He smiled lightly.

Lin Fengxiang's eyes flickered when he heard it, and seeing Zhou You's face change slightly, he hesitated to speak but stopped.Obviously, Zhou You is determined to win the world, and even has a good chance of winning the world.

However, he, Lin Fengxiang, was a general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom after all, and he defeated the capital of the Qing court with Zhou You. Now this capital belongs to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, or is it Zhou You's?The Qing court is about to collapse, but with Zhou You around, can the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really win the world?

Although the time spent with Zhou You was not too long, Lin Fengxiang felt more and more that Zhou You's methods were powerful, with his foresight and skill.You must know that the Northern Expeditionary Army who traveled north to rescue the Taiping Army only brought a few hundred people.It didn't take long for them to form a team of tens of thousands of horses, defeat the main forces of the Qing army in a row, and take down the capital of the Qing court in one fell swoop, just like the son of destiny.

Moreover, Lin Fengxiang, who was rescued by Zhou You and Li Kaifang's troops, had already discovered that Li Kaifang and Zhou You had stayed together for two or three months to develop a team.Even Lin Fengxiang admires Zhou You so much now!

"What are you thinking about?" After leaving the Qianqing Palace, he arranged for his generals to quickly control the entire Forbidden City's tour, then looked at Lin Fengxiang, who was a little dazed, and smiled: "Don't think so much, help me control this capital first. Come on! Don't let the city get too chaotic. When necessary, you need to kill chickens to warn monkeys, so you must not be soft-hearted. Now is a good opportunity to rectify military discipline and establish military prestige."

"Yes!" Lin Fengxiang, who responded respectfully, left quickly with some followers.Although the capital has been won, there are many things to do next!

Chaos in the capital is inevitable, and it is not uncommon for Zhou You's rebel army to be in disarray and wanton killing and looting.There is no change of dynasty that will not harm the innocent, and wars are always accompanied by blood.Without breaking or standing, how can the corruption and filth of the Qing court be washed away without blood?

The chaos and killings in the city lasted for a day and a night, and in the morning of the next day, everything slowly returned to order, and the entire capital became a state of military control.Most of the Eight Banners soldiers who had been disbanded in the city before had been wiped out, and some escaped and hid by chance, it is no longer a cause for concern.

Immediately afterwards, it was to publish a list to calm the people, engage in ideological propaganda work, and punish the powerful and evil gentry. As more and more people went to the government yamen to complain, the yamen in the capital were slowly crowded..

The missionaries who traveled around under his command, as well as some officials who had surrendered, worked hard for several days, knowing how many cases, large and small, were tried, and the number of people who came to complain for grievances has not decreased, but more and more.

This also caused a large number of Manchu dignitaries, officials, evil gentry and wealthy households in the city, as well as their domestic slaves, to be killed one after another. The execution ground at Caishikou was stained red with blood, and carloads of corpses were pulled every day. Go outside the city for burial, lest there be a plague.

As for the troops of Shengbao and Seng Gelinqin, as well as the Qing court garrisons around the capital, after receiving the news that Zhou You led the troops to conquer and occupy the capital, almost no soldiers came to rescue them.

It is estimated that the generals of the Qing court and the officials of the local governor's government have also understood that the Qing Dynasty is about to perish, and they are all observing the development of the situation, and dare not be the first bird.

However, Li Kaifang, who led the army back to Shandong, got the news, but his spirits were lifted, and then the whole Shandong and Hebei were like a blazing fire.

Li Kaifang took advantage of the time when Zhou You and Lin Fengxiang captured the capital, shaking the world and even people's hearts were floating, and quickly expanded the territory and troops, blooming everywhere in Shandong and Hebei, and sent troops north to support them.
