Chapter 545: This is just the beginning of the evil consequences of the whole person

This decisive battle that determined the fate of the Qing Dynasty lasted for no more than two quarters of an hour from the beginning to the end. After that, all the Liang family troops came out and began to hunt down the Qing soldiers and sporadic cavalry who fled in all directions.

It took a full half a day to drive away and pursue. The Qing soldiers who fled in all directions were finally captured only 30,000, and the rest were all gone. Except for the Eight Banners who were fast-sighted in the forbidden brigade, most of the Eight Banners who fled back to Beijing, more than half of the Eight Banners, who had nearly 20,000 fell in front of the Liang family's position. The Eight Banners who fled in all directions were also the main pursuit target of the Liang family's cavalry division. In the end, more than 2,000 were captured and nearly 3,000 fled. The rest turned into cold corpses on the way to chase and escape.

Except for 10,000 infantrymen in the Eight Banners arranged to supervise the battle outside the city, the rest remained in the city, which not only allowed them to escape the fate of being chased by the Liang family army, but also trapped and died in Beijing.

Fortunately, there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, so the riots in the city did not turn Beijing into a concentration camp for desperate madmen. However, Beijing also became lifeless. Apart from some suitable and weak soldiers standing on the top of the city, it seemed that they had lost all hope from the bottom of their hearts.

Qianlong sat on the imperial seat, staring blankly at the imperial table in front of him. The jade seal carved from a whole piece of white jade was four inches in square, one inch thick, one inch inch in height.

The seal text is red, jade-stem seal, Manchu text on the left, and Han text on the right. The letter: The treasure of the Qing Dynasty's order. The Manchu text can be translated as: the treasure of the Qing Dynasty's order. The system stipulates that it is "in the order of the emperor of the emperor", which shows the orthodox identity of the Qing Dynasty's emperor being ordered by heaven. This is also the most symbolic and practical national jade seal of the Qing Dynasty. It is an old seal since Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, and was passed down by the emperors. It was passed down to the hands of Qianlong and has been passed down by the Qing emperors of the Five Dynasties.

"Qing Dynasty, Qing Dynasty..." Qianlong's hoarse voice was dull and powerless, and almost all his charm was lost in his eyes. His face was haggard and his expression was numb. Only the occasional blinking eyelids seemed to remind him that he was still alive.

He was still wearing the big reading armor on the city wall, and the pearls and jade on it were still extremely shiny. However, with his old face and the body that was not thin enough to support the big reading armor, it seemed that the armor and the people in the armor should just be displayed in the history museum, a mummy display wrapped in gorgeous armor.

A piece of gauze wrapped around his left neck, and a faint red mark was soaked. It was after Qianlong saw the tens of thousands of troops dispersed on the city wall. He took up the sword in despair and wanted to commit suicide. He was finally taken down by the ministers around him, but the wound left behind the skin was cut by the sharp blade.

In the hall, all the officials' faces showed despair gray. Occasionally, some people were sobbing and crying, as if they were remembering the glory of the Qing Dynasty that was dissipating and dying. Since it became a ball of garbage in the dust of history, it would eventually be buried and deposited.

Liu Yong stood under the imperial stairs with an insensitive look on his face, listening to the sobs of his colleagues around him, and watching Qianlong, who had failed to commit suicide from above the city, had a trace of strangeness in his heart for no reason. In the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen lost his country and hanged himself. I wonder how he would deal with the emperor who had been loyal to him for so many years after losing his country.

Liu Yong's memory returned to several hours ago. At that time, after Qianlong committed suicide and was stopped, Prince Yongyan had no opinion at all. He only knew to hug Qianlong and cried loudly. In the end, Heshen, the treacherous minister he hated the most, asked Qianlong for his order. In order to prevent the Liang family army from taking advantage of the chaos of the army and people in the Qing Dynasty, he took advantage of the situation to attack the city, and slaughtered the crowd, so that hundreds of thousands of bannermen would not let the pain of the military disaster be damaged, he was willing to go to the Liang family army camp to negotiate in person.

Qianlong, who replied to the rationality, immediately removed the certificate of his identity that he carried with him, and handed it to Heshen the three seals of Tian Huangshi engraved with "Qianlong Chenhan" and handed it to Heshen. He looked expectantly as Heshen left the city wall with resolutely under the escort of dozens of decisive guards, raised a white flag, and headed towards the Liang family army camp.

Heshen's move seemed to have really worked. At least the Liang family army seemed to lack any interest in Beijing. They just annihilated and captured the defeated soldiers and fled the enemy outside the city, and seemed to ignore the huge Beijing city.

Just when Qianlong and a group of Qing officials at the wall of Beijing were nervous, a guard who had gone with Heshen rushed back. The Liang family army would not attack the city for the time being, and Heshen had already started negotiations with Liang Pengfei in the Liang family army camp. Liang Pengfei, the leader of the Liang family army, even suggested that Qianlong appease the bannermen and people in the city.

Afterwards, Qianlong, who believed it or not, could only believe it for the time being, and a group of important officials returned to the palace. The Eight Banners soldiers who remained in the city finally did not allow the riot to spread. After that, it was a painful waiting.

"Your Majesty, here, here, and back to the central hall!" Outside the hall, a eunuch rushed over, without even having time to brake, and knelt down on the smooth gold bricks, slid several feet before falling on the smooth gold bricks. This action made the ministers and guards in the venue glaring, as if they saw Dongfang Bubai who had practiced the Sunflower Book.

Hearing this shout, there seemed to be a little more vitality in the originally dead hall. Everyone looked out the door of the hall. Qianlong had already stood up, looking at the figure gradually revealed on the white marble steps outside the hall. His most trusted minister, Heshen, finally appeared.

"Slave Heshen, see my emperor." Heshen, who looked tired and looked gray in cotton armor, entered the hall and quickly stepped forward and knelt down under the imperial stairs.

"I'm calm, thank you for your hard work." Qianlong walked down from behind the imperial case with a trembling hand, reached out to help Heshen with a look of emotion and gratitude. In any case, under such circumstances, Heshen was the only minister who remained rational and had the courage to face those Liang thieves who were more terrifying than the demons of hell. No, he was a loyal minister.

"For the sake of my Qing Dynasty and the emperor, even if I am tragic, I will do whatever I can." Heshen seemed to be moved by Qianlong's actions and burst into tears and said with a sob.

"Okay, okay, I've read you right, I've read you wrong." The wrinkles on Qianlong's face seemed to have turned into smiles.

"Emperor, slave, slave brought back Liang Pengfei's conditions." Heshen wiped the tears on his face and knelt down on the ground again, looking like he was heartbroken and heartbroken.

Looking at Heshen who was kneeling down again, the hall became silent again. Everyone held their breath and stood up, fearing that they would miss a word.

Qianlong raised his head, tidied up the big reading armor on Li's body, and slowly walked back to the high stairs that could look down at the ministers, turned around, raised his head, as if he wanted to maintain the majesty of a monarch and an emperor, and then he slowly said: "Say!"

After hearing this, Heshen was a little hesitant to tell the conditions, but in fact it was not the conditions at all, because what Liang Pengfei asked was that the Qing government unconditionally gave up resistance and surrendered to the Liang family army.

"What if I don't agree?" After a long silence, Qianlong, whose face was not covered with blood, his eyes were red and afraid of others, stared at Heshen and asked again.

"If Liang Pengfei said that the emperor insisted on fighting to the end, then he would castrate all the captured men of the bannermen, no matter the noble and low, as slaves, and all women of the bannermen, no matter the noble and low, as free officials, and never marry for life. My bannermen's blood will be cut off forever..." Heshen gritted his teeth and finally said Liang Pengfei's threat. Recalling the ferocious and vicious expression and the cold and cold eyes when Liang Pengfei said this, Heshen couldn't help but fight a cold war. He knew very well what kind of person that guy was. He would definitely do it when he said it.

"Hiss..." The officials present felt like a large basin of ice water was poured on their heads, and their hearts were cold to their anus. Some bannermen even subconsciously clamped their legs, with fear in their eyes.

Prince Yongyan's face turned pale. If it weren't for the princes standing on the left and right, the royal prince would have been able to hold him in time, and he might have fallen to the floor on the spot.

Qianlong, who was standing in front of the imperial case, couldn't help but sway, and barely reached out to support the imperial case before he stood firm. The eunuch who was serving next to him was startled and rushed forward to help him, but was pushed away by Qianlong. "Get out, get out of here, I'm not old enough to be helped, I'm not dead yet, I'm still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Get out of here!"

Qianlong's roar was like the desperate howl of the dying old wolf, echoing in the empty and silent hall...

"Prince, please calm down. Slaughter is incompetent. I will never redeem you. Your Majesty." An old minister knelt on the ground, hit the floor tiles with his head, and burst into tears, like a switch. All the ministers in the hall were either pounding their chests and stamping their feet, or tearing their clothes and sleeves, all in all shapes, loyal, treacherous, evil, and righteous. At this moment, they were all making the final performance of the irreversible collapse of the dynasty they were loyal to.

"Ancestors, I, what are the faces to see you after my death..." Qianlong, the Qing emperor who had been in power for sixty years after Kangxi, knelt on the ground in despair, and pounded the ground with both hands, his face covered with snot and tears.

At this moment, he had no thoughts. Tens of millions of people fell to the ground. At the point of his fingers, countless lackeys who tampered with the truth of history held authority and looked at the world with squinted eyes. The majesty of Emperor Qianlong was just a desperate and pitiful old man, a beggar who knelt at the door of the rich in winter, begging for a bowl of cold porridge to fill his stomach.

After taking off his skin and identity, how is he different from the people in the world? He is just an old dog full of evil spirits and smearing his face with false benevolence.
