Emperor Xianfeng and the Manchu dignitaries never expected that Zhou You could break into the city so quickly and capture the inner city in one go. Emperor Xianfeng in the palace didn't even have 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 Qianqing Palace, the Manchu dignitaries and officials who came to discuss matters were panicked. Under the bright and bright plaque, the sick-looking Emperor Xianfeng looked at Zhou You and others who came in like wolves and tigers, and his face became increasingly pale and dejected. , after a quick cough, he finally said in despair and anger with a flushed face: "Wait... wait..."

"The Qing Dynasty is over, your throne is over, and your life is at an end," Zhou You looked at Emperor Xianfeng and said indifferently.

After hearing Zhou You's words, Emperor Xianfeng trembled and coughed again, and then he fell from the dragon chair with a mouthful of blood spurting out. He fell over and rolled down, frightening all the Manchu dignitaries and ministers in the palace. He became more and more panicked: "Your Majesty..."

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

Suddenly, under the astonished looks of Zhou You and Lin Fengxiang, the entire palace fell to their knees and burst into tears. It was not clear whether they were really crying for the Qing court, Emperor Xianfeng, or because they were sad for their own fate.

"The emperor of Qingyao died like this. It was so easy for him." Although Emperor Xianfeng vomited blood and died, Lin Fengxiang was still a little unwilling. After all, he and Li Kaifang had led more than 20,000 Taiping troops in the Northern Expedition, but the result was casualties. Most of the time, he wished he could eat the flesh and skin of the Qing Yao Emperor!

Zhou You, however, was calmer and calmer: "Everyone is dead, the fall of the Qing Dynasty is inevitable. Well, let our people take control of the entire capital as soon as possible! Military discipline is strict, and no killing or looting is allowed. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!" "

"The brothers have gone crazy, and I'm afraid it's difficult to restrain them," Lin Fengxiang shook his head and said: "After all, they all came from poor backgrounds. Now that they are following us into the capital, they are like unsheathed swords. , I’ve already seen blood, how can I take it back?”

"Because of this, we must strictly control it, otherwise military discipline will be broken. Don't forget, although we have invaded the capital, the Qing government still has many troops and Shengbao troops around the capital and in the local areas. He Seng Gelinqin's remnant soldiers should be coming soon. We need to be prepared to defend the city. It doesn't mean that we can just sit back and relax if we capture the capital!" Zhou Youlian said.

Lin Fengxiang nodded slightly when he heard this, then glanced at the crying Manchu dignitaries and ministers in the palace and said: "Restraint is to restrain, but those Manchu dignitaries and Qing ministers..."

"Manchu officials and Manchu dignitaries all ransacked their homes and were imprisoned. Anyone who resisted was killed without mercy. Han officials who refused to surrender and submit to us were also imprisoned. Then they were slowly censored, and the people in the capital were allowed to come. Complain to them and avenge them. As long as there are bad deeds, oppressing, bullying or even harming the common people, the powerful, officials, evil gentry and rich households, kill those who deserve to be killed, punish those who deserve to be punished, and use part of the confiscated property to compensate the victims," ​​Zhou You said thoughtfully.

Lin Fengxiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded thoughtfully and couldn't help but smile and said: "Prince Assistant, what a great idea! In this way, not only will the Qingyao and the evil gentry and dignitaries be punished, but people's hearts can be quickly calmed down, and the capital can be conquered.

The support of the people. No wonder, in Shandong before, the auxiliary king was able to gather tens of thousands of people in just two or three months."

"We are just following the trend. Throughout the dynasties, if we want to conquer 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 we develop rapidly and even have long-term peace and stability," Zhou You

He smiled calmly.

Lin Fengxiang's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he saw Zhou You's face changed slightly, and he stopped talking. Obviously, Zhou You was determined to win the world, and he even had a good chance of winning it.

However, Lin Fengxiang was a general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom after all. He followed Zhou You to capture the capital of the Qing court. Is this capital now considered to be from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or from Zhou You? The Qing court is already on the verge of collapse, but with Zhou You here, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can really conquer the world.

?

Although the time he spent with Zhou You was not long, Lin Fengxiang felt more and more that Zhou You was powerful, with great vision and skills. You must know that the Northern Expeditionary Army that Zhou You went north to rescue the Taiping Army only brought a few hundred people with him.

In just a short time, he had formed a team of tens of thousands of troops, defeated the main force of the Qing army in a row, and captured the Qing capital in one fell swoop. He was like a 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 been together for two or three months to develop people. Li Kaifang was obviously impressed by Zhou You, but he almost didn't directly say that he would work with Zhou You in the future.

Even Lin Fengxiang admires Zhou You so much!

"What are you thinking about?" After leaving the Qianqing Palace, he arranged for his generals to quickly control the entire Forbidden City. Then he looked at Lin Fengxiang, who was slightly dazed, and said with a smile: "Don't think so much, help me control the capital first. Go.

Come on! Don't let the city become too chaotic. When necessary, you need to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and you must not be merciful. Now is a good opportunity to rectify military discipline and establish military prestige."

"Yes!" Lin Fengxiang responded respectfully and left quickly with some of his followers. Although the capital was captured, there were many things to do next!

Chaos in the capital is inevitable. The rebels under your command are in disarray and wanton killings and looting are not uncommon. There is no change of dynasty that will not affect innocent people. War is always accompanied by blood. Without destruction, there is no establishment, and without blood, how can we do it?

What about cleaning out the corruption and filth of the Qing court?

The chaos and killings in the city lasted for a day and night. In the morning of the next day, everything slowly returned to order, and the entire capital was under military control. Most of the Eight Banners soldiers who had previously broken up in the city had been eliminated, and some had managed to escape.

Hiding is no longer a concern.

Immediately afterwards, there were announcements to pacify the people, ideological propaganda work, and punishment of the powerful and evil gentry. As more and more people came to the government offices to complain about their grievances, all the government offices in the capital were slowly filled.

The missionaries who traveled around and some subordinate officials, as well as some surrendered officials, worked hard for several days. They learned that countless cases, large and small, had been tried, and the number of people who came to complain about their injustices not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

This also caused a large number of Manchu dignitaries, officials, evil gentry and wealthy households and their domestic slaves to be killed in the city. The execution ground at Caishikou was stained red with blood, and cartloads of corpses were pulled out every day.

Bury outside the city to avoid the plague.

As for the troops of Shengbao and Senggelinqin, as well as the Qing garrison around the capital, after receiving the news that Zhou You led troops to capture and occupy the capital, almost no troops came to rescue them.

It is estimated that the Qing generals and local governors and governors officials also understood that the Qing Dynasty was about to fall, and they were observing the development of the situation and did not dare to make the first move.

However, Li Kaifang, who led the troops back to Shandong, was in high spirits after receiving the news, and then the entire Shandong and Hebei provinces were ablaze.

Li Kaifang took advantage of Zhou You and Lin Fengxiang's capture of the capital, which shocked the world and even made people's hearts flutter. He quickly expanded his territory and troops, spreading all over Shandong and Hebei, and sent troops north to support them. If you like movies and TV shows, please collect them: (www
