Xie Ting has been promoted to battalion commander at this moment. When he was in Fujian, he was favored by Emperor Tongzhi. This guy has a prosperous official career and has walked up step by step.

His team was responsible for the most important defense work in the south of the Forbidden City. The Meridian Gate and the Tiananmen area were all his garrison territory.

At this moment, the enemy's attack destination was Nanchizi on the east side of Taimiao. You can reach it by crossing a small river, which happened to be Xie Ting and his defense zone.

Fu Qing would not use this sharp knife unless he had no choice but to use it, but after hearing something was wrong with the explosion, he had no other choice and immediately started Xie Ting's one.

This is basically the last reserve team, and they have already used the reserve teams on Wufeng Tower, which shows how tense the situation in the capital is.

"The enemy was found in front...free shooting... cross cover..."

"The first company followed me with bayonets...the second and third consecutive fire cover..."

After passing Feihong Bridge, there was the Changpu River. On the north bank was a large group of thugs who were smashing, looting and burning. I could see a yellow flag swaying in the fire.

Xie Ting was shocked and cried out in his heart, "Damn it, the traitor actually has a flag. This is a blatant rebellion... and he will be killed without mercy!"

Under the flag is King Jinqi of Durokeqin County. He was originally a person with no great ability, but after all, he was only a little worse than the prince, so the slave system passed down was still very large.

More and more thugs were pouring in from the gap exploded southeast of the imperial city. At this moment, there were already two or three thousand people. Jinqi, the King of Keqin County, also gathered four or five hundred slaves.

However, this kid is not very timid and dares to follow Prince Zheng and others to attack Donghua Gate, but he takes a task to protect this gap.

It is said that it is a guardian gap, which is actually a passive avoidance of war, hiding behind the back and waiting to pick peaches. Prince Zheng knew that this man was cowardly and could not count on him, so he would let him go.

Waste is just waste, it is true that you can't count on it. These hundreds of people don't know how to steal anything else.

This place was originally the warehouse area of ​​the Imperial City, and the Sixth Ministry and the Interior Office had warehouses here. These thugs were searching for valuable things everywhere, just like treasure hunting.

With a bang, everyone kicked open the door of a warehouse, and when they rushed in, they shouted excitedly, "There is gold here... are all gold?"

Prince Jinqi looked at it and couldn't help but laugh, "What a bullshit gold, that's copper material... the best fine copper material, this is the warehouse of the Ministry of Personnel. These copper blocks are ready for deep processing and polishing of official seals!"

Ah! People suddenly realized that no wonder the color of this copper material is so bright and yellow, which means that there are few impurities and no other metals are mixed with. The official seal must always be more refined.

"This is also a good thing... grab it!" A group of people pulled into their arms like crazy.

The more I explored the treasure, the more I realized that the court's heritage was so deep that I didn't know many things, and I had to rely on my own master to take care of them.

"Master... Prince, look at... what kind of silk is this? Why is it so delicate?"

Jin Qi took a look, "Well... good things, these fine silks are pressed on the memorials... Have you ever seen the memorials? Long lively memorials... There should be a layer of fine silk outside the cardboard shell... It is made of this thing..."

"Hey... If you want to take it, take it away. This joke is the best material to make a screen in summer..."

"Prince...you're going to be a palm! What kind of treasure is this... like sand..."

Jin Qi looked at the handful of white sand brought by his servant and quickly said, "It's useless... the five-color earth in the sovereign... change it once a year, why do you want earth?"

Jin Qi was also annoyed in the end, "There are nothing good things in these places... You want to make a fortune, I will take you to the porcelain warehouse in the north later... As far as I can tell, it contains a lot of porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Collection of those treasures is enough for you to pass on your family..."

"The prince is a thousand years old!" The thug cheered excitedly. Where can this master go to find him? Helping the slaves make money is worth following, but it is ten thousand times better than the mean and ungrateful monarch of Emperor Tongzhi.

But at this moment, a sound of leather boots trampling from the west suddenly came, and then a gunshot sounded across the downloaded Kasu River, and a large number of thugs were immediately swept down!

"The new Royal Guard...is the Royal Guard...it's the Royal Guard...it's fire...it's a shot..."

Crack...bang...crack...bang...bang...

The thugs also fired various firearms, and there were the latest foreign guns, and old muskets were also fired. There were still many bows and arrows flying over in the dark.

Xie Ting and his body were elite among the Imperial Guards. How could they care about these smelly fish? The troops of the two companies fired across the Changpu River and immediately swept down a large area. Xie Ting led the first company with more than 100 iron troops, holding a bright bayonet.

"Kill..." The shouts of killing were earth-shaking. The thugs on the opposite side rushed over as they saw a wall of humans and smashed into their faces with a bang.

Many thugs had no time to react and were pierced by several bayonets in the chest.

"Protect the prince...protect the prince...set the fire...set the thieves to block the thief army..." The chaotic thugs pulled the prince and fled north, throwing torches everywhere along the way.

The warehouse area should be careful of fire candles. There are too many flammable materials stored here, including the screens that are used in summer in the Forbidden City and the fine silk that is covered with skin on the surface of the memorial.

The paper used by the emperor for imperial approval, repairing the edges and corners of the red sandalwood furniture, and even some less important files stored by the Ministry of Revenue and Personnel.

"Oh... don't burn there...that's the archives of the Ministry of Revenue..."

At this time, no one listened to you, the prince. These thugs were the most important to save their lives. It was the real thing to set fire to block the Imperial Guard.

Xie Ting was so angry that he cursed, "You are selling your land! This is the palace, so many things are ruined... It's a thunderbolt!"

"The imperial civil war... you are going to kill and burn, aren't it all your own things?"

After all, Xie Ting had never learned the nationalism courses of Chinese soldiers. How could he know that this group of Qing robbers never regarded the inner robbers as their hometown?

In their hearts, this Forbidden City has always been the territory of the Han people in subconsciously, and they just steal it.

"Don't worry about the fire... chasing the enemy... biting their tails..."

At this moment, a large number of thugs suddenly came in the gap in the southeast corner. They were already red-eyed and flocked to see Xie Ting and others.

Xie Ting betrayed and divided half of his troops to block the gap. He rushed north with the first company of the Sharp Knife Company.

Boom... Boom... The sound of cannons suddenly came from the north, and Xie Ting secretly said in his heart that it was not good, "It's bad... the enemy has come to Donghua Gate! Encircle, encircle..."

At this moment, the near to Dong'anmen has become a Shura battlefield. Prince Zheng led thousands of thugs to bombard the defenders of Dong'anmen. Three hundred thugs were pressed into the narrow area of ​​the gate tunnel by more than two thousand thugs.
Chapter completed!
