Chapter 120 Empress: Brother Ze, save me
cannon?
Cannons were not very effective against such solid city walls, especially the earliest cannons, which only made a hole when hit with solid bullets.
and so……
Li Jize chose to "buy a ticket first and then get on board"!
Do you want to do it? If not, I’ll do it to you!
Li Jize is a jerk. He is shameless and has no shame!
He was raising the price openly and openly wanting to sign a "capitulation treaty"!
However, the son-in-law of the emperor, Wang Tongjiao, had to bear the consequences of his actions.
He thought he was very clever, so he tricked Li Jize into giving him the position of "Grand Marshal of the Army of the World" and brought the person here, and then he completed his mission.
pity……
Compared with Li Jize, the old 6, he often seems out of place because he is not vulgar enough!
What can the prince consort do?
Li Jize can afford it, but Wang Tongjiao can't, Wang Du can't afford it, and the empress can't afford it even more!
How to do?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Eunuch Zhao, how about we go through the water gate again?"
Zhao Xinzhi: "I fuck you..."
Well, the dead eunuch cursed very badly, but there was nothing we could do.
The capital of the Great Qi Kingdom! What's the situation now?
The million-strong army of rebels had already surrounded the entire capital. Wars during this period were still in the era of cold weapons and were relatively monotonous.
There is no good way to attack a city, it is just like "ants attacking".
Cut wood to make various siege weapons, ladders, battering rams and other things.
Occasionally, you can hear the "bang bang" sounds of gunfire from both camps, coming and going in a nonsensical manner.
Of course, both sides were surprised when the gunshots rang out.
How come the bandits have firearms?
The answer is very simple! On the one hand, Wang Yuanya transmitted the message, and on the other hand, the empress sent firearms to Tongzhou General Jiang Huan, intending to let him hold on to the death! But he surrendered, and the firearms naturally became the enemy's.
The war between the two sides lasted for more than ten days, and the rebels suffered heavy casualties.
but……
It doesn't matter! The dead were not the real main force in Li Zhenbei's hands. They were just a group of starving disaster victims, used as cannon fodder.
Li Zhenbei has two killer moves!
1. His begging camp. 2. The traitor inside the capital!
Once the imperial army and these cannon fodder were exhausted, the traitors inside the capital opened the city gates and rushed in! A war to overthrow the Da Qi regime ended with his complete victory.
This way...
In the palace, the empress was almost tortured to the point of collapse these two days!
When she slept at night, she either dreamed of a rebellious army charging in, or of herself being tied up by a group of civil and military officials and presented to Li Zhenbei.
When other emperors fell into the hands of rebels, there were only two outcomes: either they were killed, or the rebels, in order to win over the people of Daqi, forced the emperor to abdicate, and then made him a king! Finally, they quietly sank the ship or something like that!
But she is the empress, a woman! What will happen to her if she falls into the hands of these people?
The picture is too beautiful to look at!
The empress dreamed of it countless times, woke up countless times, and then wanted to hang herself from a tree in the southeast.
Under this torture, the empress, who was already suspicious, became even more suspicious.
Sometimes he sent nobles from the court to take over the defense of the city wall, sometimes he sent eunuchs to guard it, and finally he simply sent several of his own relatives to take a look.
Tonight...
The Empress had another nightmare! She dreamed of bandits storming into the palace. Her eunuchs reported that the situation was hopeless! The bandits had stormed in.
then……
The empress went mad. She picked up a knife and killed all the women in the palace. She said, "Why was I born into an imperial family?"
Seeing the rebels coming in, the empress hung herself with a three-foot white silk and was about to hang herself...
A handsome young man in a white robe and armor just stood below, looking at her with a sneer.
The empress, who had already put the cloak around her neck and kicked away the stool, widened her eyes. She desperately reached out to the white-robed general to save her, but the general only sneered and said nothing.
He just stared at the Empress, gradually losing his breath, and watched the thieves outside rushing towards her body...
"Brother Ze! Save me! Brother Ze, save me!"
There is usually a side hall next to the emperor's bedroom, where the eunuchs on duty every day are. Upon hearing the empress's call, Eunuch Gao, who was on duty today, hurried over.
"Everyone! Everyone!"
"what!"
The empress was awakened by the call of her personal companion. She grabbed Eunuch Gao's sleeve, sweating profusely as she looked around and yelled, "Eunuch Gao! Did you see Brother Ze? Did you see him? Why did he leave me to die? Why did he treat me like this?"
"Ah this..."
Eunuch Gao was a little dumbfounded. After a moment's pause, he carefully warned, "Everyone, you're having a nightmare! The Prince Consort has already gone overseas to ask the Prince of Qin to return to the throne, but there's still no news."
The empress was stunned, then she reacted!
Yes! She had a nightmare, a very horrible nightmare.
"What's the situation outside the capital now?"
"Everyone, Eunuch Wang and the Protector of the Country are supervising the army, so I think everything will be fine."
Eunuch Wang's name was Wang Zhongzhi, and he was one of the eunuchs in charge of writing in the Imperial Household Department. (The eunuch holding the seal was the head, and there were several eunuchs holding the pens.) It could be said that he was one of the earliest eunuchs to follow the empress.
As for the Protector of the Country Zhu Youmao, his ancestors were the same as those of Li Jize's family. They followed Taizu of the Great Qi Dynasty to establish the country and were granted the title of hereditary duke!
The nobles are naturally bound to the imperial power, and can naturally be understood as one of the emperor's own people.
The empress still felt that it was not enough. She raised her hand and asked, "Where is my sister?"
Eunuch Gao: “…”
Well! The emperor's suspicion is getting worse.
As mentioned earlier, there were layers of supervision, and the officials responsible for the city defense kept an eye on each other. She still felt that was not enough, so she also sent the 14-year-old Princess Wenyi Zheng Zhizhi to inspect the city walls.
How can a girl like me do this?
"Everyone, it's already dark and the palace is under curfew! How about tomorrow?"
After Eunuch Gao finished speaking, the empress looked at the sky outside the window and nodded.
then……
She sat there again, feeling miserable every time she thought about her dream.
Then the Empress asked Eunuch Gao again, "Have you sent anyone else to urge the King of Qin?"
Ah this...
This question stumped Eunuch Gao.
Seeing that he didn't move, the empress glared at him and said unhappily, "Why? You didn't send anyone to urge him again?"
Eunuch Gao was on the verge of tears, falling to his knees with a thud. He shouted, "Everyone! We are surrounded by bandits. I sent three or four waves of people to break through and deliver messages in one day, but according to the guards on the city wall, everyone who broke through was discovered by the bandits and shot to death with arrows!"
"This……"
The empress was stunned. Could it be that Tian Zhen wanted to destroy the Great Qi?
