Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

Old Buddha, please quickly take your majesty and the loyal ministers to hunt for Shengyang, the place where Longxing is in Daqing, from the west of the secret road of the imperial city."

"Assemble the troops of King Qin, command the capable troops, and come together to restore the capital, Peiping!"

Liu Hongzhang's old and loud voice silenced all the ministers who were still discussing in the Qianyang main hall.

There is a secret passage in the Forbidden City that leads directly to the outskirts of Peiping. It was originally the top secret of the Daqing royal family, but the last time the Nineteen-Nation Allied Forces invaded Peking, it was leaked by the braided royal family who fled the capital in panic.

Now in the main hall of Qianyang, all the important officials of the central government of Daqing naturally know this secret.

After the Westernization Minister Liu Hongzhang finished speaking, many ministers in the main hall, especially the Chinese ministers, looked at each other and noticed the sadness in each other's eyes.

But now that they are trapped in the imperial city, it is unlikely that the defensive formation in the age of Dharma will last long. Instead of sitting here and waiting for death, it is better to work together to send Lafayette and the emperor out of Peiping and summon an army to avenge them.

"I'll wait for reconsideration!"

They all knelt on the ground and spoke to the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The words of Liu Hongzhang and the ministers brought Cixi Lafayette back to his senses.

"In this case, the Ai family will follow what the ministers say!"

The woman with hawk-like eyes on the throne was decisive and made the decision to evacuate without any hesitation.

With the unanimous decision of the superiors, the entire Forbidden City, which was in a semi-chaotic state, soon returned to order following the decrees from the Qianyang Main Hall.

However, will the Taiping Army, which is already approaching the imperial city step by step, give these decadent Daqing upper echelons time to evacuate calmly?

Of course it's impossible!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The eight steel legs of the hundreds of spider tanks of the vanguard force stepped heavily on the ground, causing small potholes to appear one after another on the road in the inner city of the capital.

These armored units, which were completely ahead of their time, were the first to arrive outside the Forbidden Imperial City under the control of young tank crews from the Taiping Society.

The Forbidden Imperial City was sealed inside and outside by a large formation, which also meant that the palace guards inside did not have the ability to fight back to the outside world. Hong Tiangui simply used several behemoth airships that had dropped ammunition to fly at low altitude, carrying more than 2,000 fully armed soldiers. Taiping Army soldiers went straight to the gate of the Forbidden Imperial City.

Then, he jumped directly from the airship thousands of meters high in the sky, controlled the ubiquitous airflow between heaven and earth, and flew directly to the Chaotian Gate, the largest entrance to the Forbidden Imperial City.

The golden power of Taiping Jindan in Hong Tiangui's eyes began to shine with eye-catching brilliance.

Under the extremely admiring gazes of all the Taiping soldiers below, they stretched out their hands straight forward, and then made a tearing motion to both sides.

In an instant, the translucent shield composed of strong winds in front of Hong Tiangui was torn apart by two invisible hands. The aura of the entire formation flashed several times and spread to the surrounding areas.

"Fighters of the Taiping Army, move forward!"

Standing in the void, Hong Tiangui loudly issued an order to completely bury Daqing, the last feudal dynasty in the history of China.

"For our cause, for peace! Long live!"

At this time, the expressions of all the Taiping United Army soldiers also became excited. These young people who had been influenced by the Taiping Society's ideas for several years all understood the significance of their next actions. They shouted slogans that resounded throughout the world and marched towards the Imperial City. Move forward vigorously.

Hong Tiangui, who saw this scene in the void, smiled happily.

Then, as if his outer spiritual thoughts sensed something, President Hong's expression immediately became serious.

"I can't let you run away!"

After murmuring in a low voice, his figure turned into a breeze and dissipated in the sky above Chaoyang Gate...

————————————

"Crack!" "Crack!"

Since the elite officers of the Imperial City's inner guard were all taken away by the evacuated Cixi, the inner court troops who were left to defend and delay could only use their front-loaded muskets to make sporadic resistance.

"Puff puff puff!" "Puff puff puff!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

There is no value in protecting cultural relics in this era. When someone counterattacks, the Taiping soldiers who attack the imperial city will not be polite. The bursts of semi-automatic rifles and the roar of spider tanks are heard one after another.

Soon, those die-hard elements who thought they were loyal were targeted and eliminated by Taiping soldiers.

The remaining eunuchs from the Imperial City, who had no will to resist, surrendered one after another.

"For peace!"

"Long live the peaceful world!"

"Liberate all of China!"

······

In the main hall of Qianyang, Beiyang Prime Minister Liu Hongzhang, who volunteered to stay in the imperial city to resist, dismissed several palace people around him and took out a revolver in his arms.

Taking a look at the St. George pattern on this pistol, I remembered that more than ten years ago, he himself was as energetic as the rebels outside, leading the army with high spirits, annihilating and suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom peasant uprising army one after another. .

"Death is the only way to go through all the hardships!"

Liu Hongzhang, who never expected that the situation would change so quickly, could not help but sigh.

As early as when there was news from overseas that the remnants of the Taiping were reestablished in Yinzhou, he made up his mind to build a large navy to prepare for such an emergency.

It’s just that when things happen, all the preparations are of no use!

With his trembling right hand, he held the St. George revolver to his temple. Just as Liu Hongzhang was mentally preparing himself to commit suicide and die for his country.

"bump!"

The pear wood door of the Qianyang main hall was violently knocked open by a spider tank, and several young Taiping warriors rushed in with steel guns.

"Bang!"

The leading soldier saw the old man in the main hall about to raise his gun to commit suicide. When he knew that he had caught a big fish, he was delighted. He immediately raised his hand and shot Liu Hongzhang, knocking out the pistol that Liu Hongzhang was using to commit suicide.

Then, several other soldiers rushed forward, tied up the powerful Chinese minister with ropes, and dragged him out like a dog.

At this point, the battle in most areas of the entire imperial city has come to an end...

————————————————————

The entrance to the royal secret passage is at the innermost side of the Forbidden City. A team of more than two thousand people is rushing towards here carrying large and small bags.

"Hoo!" "Hoo!" "Hoo!"

The Empress Dowager Cixi held the little emperor in her arms and sat on a sedan lifted by six strong eunuchs, letting the strong wind of the gallop disrupt her makeup.

Everyone clearly saw the scene where the large formation barrier in the sky dissipated when it was destroyed by Hong Tiangui, which made them speed up unconsciously.

"Stop, it's right here!"

When they came to an open space in the imperial city next to a glazed tile building, the eagle-eyed woman shouted loudly, causing the entire galloping team to stop.

The six eunuchs put down the sedan chair and let her carry the little emperor down.

The slogans of the Taiping Unification Army that came to her ears became louder and louder, which made her look anxious and speed up her pace. She carried the little emperor to the middle of the open space, took off the golden and red jade beads from the little emperor's hat in her arms, and put

In a shallow groove in the center of the open space.

Suddenly, there was a "rumbling!" sound, and a tunnel entrance with a height and width of one foot appeared on the ground.

The entrance, accompanied by the swirling smoke, appeared in everyone's eyes, making them involuntarily excited, and there seemed to be a glimmer of hope in their confused future.

Even the Empress Dowager Cixi herself looked relaxed, and then she gave instructions loudly.

"When the smoke clears, the Ai family and His Majesty will enter first, followed by Prince Qing and other clan members..."

However, before she finished speaking, she stopped on her own.

Because after the smoke in front of him dissipated, a figure appeared in front of the entrance of the tunnel, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, a mustache, and the "sickle and wrench badge" of the Taiping rebels on his chest.

That figure was looking at them with extreme indifference, his eyes full of disgust and coldness...
