"Operation Storm is sweeping through Beijing like an unstoppable storm!
"Prince Chun" Aixinjueluo Zaifeng was captured, and Beifu was sealed off; followed by Prince Qing Zai Zhen, General Zhen Guo Zai Bo, one after another, the dignitaries before the Manchu Qing Dynasty were arrested and expelled one after another!
The Manchus in the entire city of Beijing were panicked, and no one knew who would suffer next.
Word on the street is that this is just the beginning, and larger-scale operations will begin.
Some of the fallen Eight Banners disciples were already in poverty and were looking for ways to earn a living. Some of them had no skills and had lost all their family property. They thought this was an opportunity for them, and they might be able to make a living.
Maybe you can make a lot of money from it.
Within a few days, a piece of news quietly spread among the Manchus in Beijing: The current "Emperor" had secretly issued a "Conquest Order" in Tianjin to call on the loyal people across the country to "King Qin". "Braided Commander" Zhang Xun was appointed as "King Qin".
The "Generalissimo of the Thieves" summoned his old troops and sent millions of elite soldiers to fight back to Beijing!
The news that came out from nowhere this day suddenly made the Manchu people excited!
"Braided Commander" has sent troops. "Braided Commander" has finally sent troops! There is hope for the Qing Dynasty, and there is hope for the restoration of the country left by our ancestors!
Especially those defeated Eight Banners disciples were excited from the bottom of their hearts.
Anyway, if we do this now, we will starve to death sooner or later, so we might as well start a riot. If our ancestors can really recover, maybe they will be a hero of the "restoration", and maybe they can become an iron hat king.
In taverns and teahouses, all kinds of rumors circulated without hesitation.
In the "Sun Ji Tea House", a man in his thirties with a smoky face, wearing a dirty and torn navy blue robe, and a nondescript yellow mantle outside walked in with a yawn.
"Ouch, Shanbeile is here."
"Shanbeile, you are lucky!"
Everyone in the teahouse stood up to say hello. The owner of the teahouse, Lao Sun, smiled and welcomed Shan Beile in: "What's going on today? Why is Lord Beile wearing a yellow mantle?"
Shanbeile took out his tea bag and ordered it to be brewed. He did not forget to say: "Be careful, this is General Jiang's filial piety to me."
"General Jiang, which General Jiang?" someone asked curiously.
"On the day when our emperor ascended the throne, he was awarded the title of "General Ning Hong, General Jiang Biaoyuan Jiang!" Shanbeile said proudly.
But the people around him still didn't think of it. Shanbeile was very disdainful: "General Jiang Biaoyuan is the most famous, and he was specially encouraged by Eunuch Li..."
"Oh!" The person next to him suddenly realized: "It's the old ginger from the "Ninghong Meat Shop" that sells meat in the west of the city, right?" With a "boom", the teahouse burst into laughter.
Many people in Beijing know about this "General Jiang". This man has been selling meat for generations, and he has some money in his hands... It has been passed down to Jiang Biaoyuan's generation, and no one knows that this meat shopkeeper has moved.
With such evil thoughts, he actually wanted to make a general.
He found Eunuch Li in the palace through the door. He went to pay his respects to Eunuch Li every day, gave him some money, and begged for him to be a general every day. The candidate magistrate Daotai was so afraid of officialdom that he still didn't want it.
In the end, Eunuch Li was really annoyed by him. Seeing that he was also a 250-year-old, he simply lied to him and said, "Just become General Ning Hong."
The original meaning of this sentence was that Jiang Biaoyuan opened the "Ninghong Meat Shop". You open the door to sell meat, but when you close the door, you become your "general" and no one can control you. But in the end, Jiang Biaoyuan
He took it seriously and showed off that he was "General Ning Hong" everywhere.
He had some money in his hand, and the losers were convinced of his idea, and they all called him "General Jiang". General Jiang was very happy when he heard this, and he was able to give them more or less meat, and the result was like this
The name "General Jiang" has spread throughout Beijing.
Now this Shanbeile took "General Jiang" out seriously, so it's no wonder there was laughter in the teahouse!
Shanbeile didn't blush at all, but said seriously: "Don't look down on General Jiang. In terms of loyalty, no one in the civil and military dynasties can compare to General Jiang!"
The brewed tea was brought up. Shanbeile took a sip and cleared his throat: "General Jiang made a special trip to pay my respects yesterday. In addition to giving me this bag of good tea, he also specially sent a pig knuckle...
…”
These words made the people in the teahouse swallow a lot of regret.
Shanbeile said proudly: "General Jiang said that as long as our Qing Dynasty can be restored and the emperor can regain his throne, General Jiang is willing to spend his entire family to help our Qing Dynasty!"
These words really attracted the attention of the people in the teahouse: "Master Beile, I heard that the emperor issued a conquest order, and General Zhang was appointed as the general marshal of the rebellion. He wanted to mobilize millions of elite troops to fight against the rebellion. Is there anything like this?
?”
"Yes, of course!" Shanbeile put on a mysterious look: "General Zhang has already received the order from Zhang Yuan, and all the old troops have also accepted the order and are marching towards Beijing. Apart from other things, this million-strong army
As soon as we arrive, where are the things about the [revolutionary] party? The [revolutionary] party will be wiped out in an instant, and there is no hope for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty!"
Most of the people on the side showed excitement on their faces, but some people not only didn't believe it, but also asked jokingly: "Shan Beile is the pillar of the imperial court. Since the imperial court is preparing to raise troops, it must rely on Zhong.
It’s Shanbeile’s.”
"That's it." Shanbeile's face didn't change at all: "The emperor has given me a secret decree, asking me to... Haha, haha, you don't understand the important things in the court even if I tell you... I'm leaving.
,gone……"
As he spoke, he stood up unsteadily and cupped his hands: "Farewell!"
"Master Beile, Master Beile." Old Sun, the shopkeeper, hurried over and said with a smile: "Look, you have been in the store except for more than half a year's tea money, and the store can only make a small profit."
"Remember, remember." Shanbeile said carelessly: "When the Qing Dynasty is successfully restored, I will give you a big tea garden as a gift!"
As he spoke, he staggered out and walked out.
"Bah!" Lao Sun spat hard at his back.
"Shopkeeper, don't be angry, just in case the Qing Dynasty is really restored successfully."
"Bah!" Lao Sun said disdainfully: "I would have believed it if it were other people, but look at this group of people, do you expect them to do something? In addition to playing birds, fish and actors, they also
What can be done?”
"Shan Beile." A cold voice sounded slowly.
Shanbeile looked to the side in fear, where was he? Why was he forcibly brought here just after he came out of the teahouse?
Could it be kidnapping? But that's not right. Now that I have even pawned my house, I live in a dilapidated house that others don't want. I am so poor that I can't help but kidnap my money. Who would kidnap my money?
Dai Li sat down opposite Shanbeile: "Tell me, what happened to your restoration of the country?
What is Puyi’s secret message to you?”
Shanbeile was stunned.
How can I have any intention to restore the country? Is there any secret purpose? It's just that when others asked me, I boasted a few words. With this as a shield, I might be able to go somewhere to have some food and drink.
"Sir, I, there is no restoration of the country, I am just bragging." Shanbeile's mind was racing and he said quickly to please.
"No, you do." Dai Li said calmly: "You have a big plan to restore the country, and there are many of your comrades in Beijing who are coordinating and conspiring. Please tell me quickly."
"Sir, I, I really don't have that!"
"Shan Beile is indeed a person who does great things. He is very tight-lipped. I admire you very much!"
Dai Li gave a thumbs up: "Come here, prepare for a severe punishment and fulfill Lord Ju Le's honor!"
Upon hearing the word "big punishment", Shanbeile was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees: "Sir, please spare my life, my lord, please spare your life!"
Dai Li stopped those who were about to come up for torture: "Master Beile, please tell me your plan frankly. As long as we can report all your accomplices, instead of making things difficult for Master Beile, we will have two thousand people left."
Give me the money."
"Two thousand yuan" immediately cheered up Shanbeile. He was also a smart man and quickly understood what Dai Li meant: "Whoever your Excellency wants me to report, Lou will report him."
"Why did I ask you to report it?" Dai Li said calmly: "Like Prince Chun Zaifeng,
Prince Qing Zai Zhen, Zhen Guo General Zai Po, these people are plotting to rebel, can I just make it up so that you can wrongfully accuse others?"
Shan Beile rolled his eyes and then said: "Yes, yes, sir, the villain reported that Prince Chun Zaifeng, Prince Qing Zai Zhen, and General Zhen Guo Zai Bo were conspiring to rebel!"
"Don't they have any subordinates?"
"Yes, yes! But sir, my memory is really bad and I am confused. Please give me a heads up."
"Look, don't we have a happy cooperation now?" A smile appeared on Dai Li's face: "Master Beile is very understanding of righteousness, and Mr. Dai admires him very much. I have a list here, please help me read it, Master Beile.
Look at the people above who are ready to join the rebellion!"
Shanbeile took the paper, glanced at it briefly, and said immediately: "It's all, it's all!"
"Oh, it turns out that so many people participated in the rebellion." Dai Li sighed: "It seems that I have to arrest them one by one. Lord Beile, you said that I would like to ask you to prove it when the time comes. Are you willing, Lord Beile?"
He said as if to dispel his worries: "Don't worry, when this matter is over, we will give Lord Beile a large sum of money, and then send you to Hong Kong. You will no longer be afraid of anyone seeking revenge on you."
Shanbei Le tingxiong: "The villain is willing!"
"Okay, here we come!" Dai Li handed the paper in his hand to his subordinates and ordered: "According to the list provided by Shanbeile, carry out the arrest!"
