Heshen escaped with his family and his foster minions.

Although the incident was rushed, the progress so far made him very proud. Of course, as long as he did not arrive at Anping Port, the entire escape plan would not be successful. His first goal to achieve his goal is to go to Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou, where his family, Lin's family and confidant minions were all there, and he drove the boat just when he arrived.

In addition, Ma Bashisan has already set off with several guards. He will go to Kunming and report a letter to Helin so that he can prepare in advance.

Heshen concluded that even if the princes and ministers in the capital noticed something different, out of fear of Zhao Xin and the Beihai Army, they would never dare to send troops out of the city tonight. At most, they would let the "Three Foreign Battalions" (Guardians, Foreign Firearms, and Jianrui Camp) take Qianlong back to the Forbidden City, who was still half breathing. When the court confirmed that the entry of the Beihai Army was just a farce directed by him, at least tomorrow morning. By then, he had already arrived in Tianjin on a boat.

The fact was just as he expected. Even though Yongxuan, Wang Jie and Qinggui broke the rules and issued a joint order to dispatch troops, the "Three Foreign Battalions" who received the order did not dare to gather troops immediately. The reason was that Prince Ding, who was in charge of the seal, was not there, and Heshen was not there, and the command arrows of the nine-sect admiral were not dared to make decisions. Although the military service was in the eyes of outsiders, the power of everyone was clear in their hearts, and that was just the emperor's voice-over.

Shortly after the messenger set off, Yongxuan, who was worried, contacted Prince Li Yongen and Prince Rui Chunying, and asked the two to lead 500 cavalry to the Old Summer Palace to protect the carriage. When the two princes learned about the "Three Outer Camps", they decided to go on a dangerous journey and led their subordinates to enter the Old Summer Palace with torches. After a while, they finally found Qianlong, who was in a coma in the East Warehouse of Qingyan Hall in Jiuzhou, and the eunuch who was tied into rice dumplings.

The anxious Yongen called the imperial physician on duty to diagnose Qianlong, and gave acupuncture and medicine. Qianlong finally woke up. However, because he missed the best treatment time, the 83-year-old was already speechless and soon fell into drowsiness. To put it bluntly, it was because the brain language center was damaged, resulting in aphasia. Just when Yongen and Chunying were hesitating whether to report the truth to Qianlong, their subordinates came to report and found Prince Yi and Prince Ding; those who were found with them were also the eunuch Hu Shijie.

After the four princes Heshuo met, the two princes who had been tied up for a day and a night roughly explained their own experience. Prince Li and Prince Rui were sweating coldly when they heard it. When Prince Yi and Prince Ding learned that the city had been mobilized, they were shocked.

Yonglang drank water in a big mouthful and said with lingering fear: "It's a blessing that you are here, otherwise our uncle and nephew will die of thirst. Heshen, this bastard, doesn't even drink saliva!"

After complaining, he drank enough water. Prince Ding Mianen, who had recovered from his senses, then said: "I think that the Northern Heritage Pirates probably caused it by Heshen."

Prince Li Yongen comforted him: "Don't worry! The Ministry of War has sent someone to Miyun. Is it true or false? There will be news tomorrow morning."

Mianen said hatefully: "You must catch Heshen. I must cut him alive!"

Prince Rui Chunying said: "The important thing now is that you two will hurry up and summon the troops from the Third Battalion to escort the Holy Driving back to the palace. This garden is not a place to stay for a long time."

Yonglang said in surprise: "Isn't there a command arrow? Why do you have to let me go?"

Chunying said regretfully: "Don't mention it, the arrow can't be found. If it weren't for this, why would we have to break into the palace ban? When the holy body is restored, we have to apologize."

Mianen said furiously: "Don't say it, this must have been done by Heshen! I'll go now!"

The two princes in charge appeared, and the commanders of the Third Battalion no longer had any scruples, beat drums and cannons, and informed the battalions to assemble. In an instant, countless torches lit up around the Old Summer Palace in the night, illuminating like daytime. Nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses were divided into more than 20 teams. In just over half an hour, they surrounded the Old Summer Palace from all directions.

Late at night, the Qianlong Dharma Gallery, who was escorted by heavy troops, finally returned to the Forbidden City. At this time, large army inside and outside the capital gathered, including the bannermen mobilized in the city, the total number of internal and external forces was nearly 70,000.

Although the emperor was back, he was unable to take charge of the director. The Imperial Hospital was summoned to the palace overnight. After diagnosis and pulse, he also prescribed the prescription, saying that he needed to recuperate for three or five days and could not be stimulated anymore. As for when he could speak, no one dared to promise.

Yongxuan knew that the prescriptions of the Imperial Hospital have always been inconsistent with the name and reality, and are ranked among the "Top Ten Ridiculous" in the capital. After repeated inquiries, several frightened imperial physicians could only kowtow, and even bleeding from their foreheads. He was finally convinced that Qianlong's body would not be successful, and it seemed that he would have to prepare early.

It was at this moment that the prince of Yi County Yongxuan had countless thoughts in his heart, like a raging fire, which made him unable to stop. However, perhaps because of his disability and his poor popularity, he always felt a little inferior in his heart, so the ambitious just now quickly stopped.

Although the current situation is beneficial to him, he himself also covets the throne of the emperor, but the Northern Navy is like a sharp sword hanging on its head, and the days left in the Forbidden City have to be counted by day. Yongxuan asked himself that he did not have the ability to turn the tide of Kangxi and Yongzheng, nor did he want to sit in that position and be tortured every day, and finally become a king of a country that falls.

"Forget it! Since the fifteenth brother is willing to take the blame, let him take it! The emperor is gone, this Qing Dynasty...ah!" Yongxuan, who walked out of the Qianqing Gate, sighed deeply, then looked up at the dark night sky.

"Um?"

At this moment, time was approaching Zimo, and there were countless stars in the sky. A star emitting bright red light quickly attracted Yongxuan's gaze. However, he was surprised to find that the star that was supposed to be running from bottom to top actually turned downward when it reached the middle position of the heart constellation.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Yinghuo guards his heart! Oh my God!" Yongxuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He felt a palpitation. The starlight in the whole sky was like countless sharp swords, pressing down towards the Forbidden City and towards the Qianqing Palace. Yongxuan squatted on the ground in fear, holding his head and not daring to look again.

You should know that in ancient Chinese astrology, the middle of the five stars of the Heart Su, represents the emperor and Mingtang; and Mars staying on the Heart Su, retrograde is the most evil sign, indicating that the emperor will finish playing and change the world.

"Records of the Grand Historian" says that the heart is a Mingtang, and the Yinghuo Temple. However, in "Ganshixing Jing", it records: "(fire) meets the heart star, and then the white silk and syrup are in the south and north, and they are all dead." In addition, it also indicates the saying that "the ministers make changes and plan their masters."

The key is that the above explanations are all in line with everything that happened in the capital yesterday and the current shaky situation of the Qing Dynasty. How can Yongxuan not be afraid?

Well, if Qianlong happened to be present, he would definitely kick the silly son in the ass. The nonsense Ying Huo Shuo Xin! Frenchman Jiang Youren once introduced Copernicus's "heliocentric theory" to Qianlong, and specifically talked about the principle of "Ying Huo Shuo Xin", and Qianlong also agreed after hearing this.

The reason for "Yinghuo guards the heart" that made ancient Chinese emperors most afraid of is actually very simple. Because the earth is closer to the sun than Mars, it revolves faster. When the fast-turning Earth surpasses Mars in the outer circle, observing the trajectory of Mars from the ground is like retrograde; as the distance between the two is widened to a certain position, the trajectory of Mars will return to "normal".

Of course, the phenomenon of retrograde on Mars will occur regularly, and the "heart-keeping" situation will only occur if the trajectory of Mars is located exactly at the fifth heart of the Qinglong Seven Constellation.

Unfortunately, Jiang Youren, the Jesuit priest who traveled thousands of miles to China, was proficient in astronomy, geography, architecture, and designed the world-famous "Summer Palace Water Method", had passed away twenty years ago, and the next generation of royal families in the Qing Dynasty were not interested in learning those "barbarian techniques".

"Prince, what's wrong with you? I will call you an imperial physician."

The eunuch who was carrying lanterns with him was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly asked. The big guard on duty not far away saw that something was wrong, and also walked over with the lanterns.

"No, no need. I'm fine, help me up." Yongxuan slowly stood up with the support of the eunuch, leaned against the white marble railing, and gasped. Seeing that his face was pale, the guards rushed to the duty room to bring him a cup of hot tea and took another mat. When Yongxuan sat on the ground, drank hot water and rested for a while, he finally felt relieved.

"I'm fine." Yongxuan was about to take a step, but stopped again. He pulled out two silver notes from his sleeve that were paid as soon as he saw the ticket, handed them to the guard and the eunuch, and said in a deep voice: "No one can tell you what happened just now, otherwise you will be careful!"

"I don't dare to do it!"

Yongxuan, who returned to the Military Affairs Office, dared not tell anyone about the celestial phenomena he had just seen. After urgent discussions with several Iron Hat Kings guarding the guard room outside the Longzong Gate, unanimously decided that before Prince Jia returned to Beijing, Prince Ding Mianen, Minister of Military Affairs Wang Jie and Qinggui were responsible for military affairs, while Prince Yi Yongxuan and Prince Li Mianen were responsible for government affairs. In order to prevent the change in the elbows, everyone decided to take advantage of the whole city to take advantage of the curfew, Prince Ding Mianen and Prince Yi Yonglang each led a thousand troops, searched the He Mansion overnight, arrested their followers, and tortured them strictly.

The people who followed Qianlong back to the Forbidden City were also the urgent memorial sent by General Shu Liang, Shengjing, who could be called the source of the accident. However, everyone was focused on Qianlong's illness and arresting Heshen's remnants that night, and no one noticed its existence.

The city of Beijing that night was destined to be restless, while Dong Xinchen and his companions were even more anxious. Since the city gate was closed in the afternoon, the two of them learned that they could not leave the city, so they had to return to the Yiwang Mansion. After that, because of the street, they could not even go out of the gate.

Dong Xinchen and his companions' first reaction was that Qianlong was dead, but there was another thing next. What was the gunshot outside Chongwen Gate? The companions from the Intelligence Bureau were very familiar with various standard weapons of the North Navy. From the gunshots, he could tell that it was the standard revolver of the North Navy.

Could it be that his own people were launching outside the city? Impossible! Dong Xinchen knew very well that the above had provided several batches of arms to the Qing Dynasty, so it was normal for the Qing Dynasty to have a standard revolver in his hands. As for the people under the Yiwang Mansion, it was even more fantasy. If the Northern Navy entered the pass, the Intelligence Bureau would notify him in advance no matter what.

What he didn't know was that the North Navy Intelligence Bureau, thousands of miles away, was also shocked by the strange situation in the capital, and telegrams from the four intelligence stations came one after another like snowflakes.

The first telegram was sent was the "Fan Gutang" located in Liulichang outside Xuanwu Gate, followed by the tavern located at Qingfengzha outside Dongbian Gate. You should know that the fire under Heshen almost burned the entire Huashi Street to white ground; when the fire was at its peak, half of the sky was dyed red and black smoke rolled.

If it was just a fire, it was nothing. The key was that guns were fired in the city, rumors spread everywhere in the city, and households were panicked and rushed to buy rice and flour. It was said that the Northern Navy was about to fight.

Director Wang Changsheng received a report from his subordinates and felt that the matter was a bit strange. Who was spreading rumors? What was the purpose?

At night, the pharmacy in Haidian sent a telegram saying that the troops from the Third Outer Battalion of the Qing Dynasty were launched, and the lights were brightly lit in the Old Summer Palace and could be seen several miles away.

Wang Changsheng felt something was wrong at this time. Now the North Navy Eastern Front troops were about to launch a battle against the entire Liaodong, and Zhao Xin also went to the front line to take charge. In order to prevent changes, he immediately sent a telegram to the Eastern Front Command.

Zhao Xin was also confused after seeing the telegram. He had heard that the Qing court had a system of "firing cannons and gathering generals", but the specific matter was not clear. The problem was that he had not planned to enter the customs. What was the Qing Dynasty doing? He asked the staff to find the report of the front-line reconnaissance team in the past week and read it again, and nothing unusual!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After thinking for a while, he gave up quickly; if the information is not smooth, no matter how many random thoughts are, it will be useless. He telegraphed Wang Changsheng overnight that he would report to him as soon as possible if there was any new situation in the capital.

Two days later, on the afternoon of the third day, the Intelligence Bureau sent a long telegram of up to 8,000 words, including the news that Li Qiucheng heard from the palace and Ruan Yuan. At this point, Zhao Xin finally understood what had happened in the capital these days.

What a good guy! This is an event that has never happened since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing court has been blown up.

Zhao Xin read the contents of the telegram twice, and still felt unbelievable. He thought that he was good enough with Zhongtang, but he actually did this! He was thinking about it. Deng Fei came back from the front line after inspection. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhao Xin thinking hard, and joked: "Haha, who are you planning to cheat here?"

"How are the troops preparing?"

"Even the first-level mobilization meeting was completed, and morale was high. The most common question for the soldiers below was when they would enter the pass."

Zhao Xin pointed to the telegram on the table and said, "You can take a look at this first."

"What happened?" Deng Fei asked casually, walked over and picked up the telegram. Unexpectedly, after reading the first few lines, he couldn't help but say "Damn it". After he finished reading all the contents above, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's incredible that the die-hard-legged person has become a traitor! By the way, what did you say to him when you went to see him in the past few years? Are you excited?"

"I didn't say anything. I just asked him to hand over the land deed, otherwise..." Zhao Xin suddenly covered his forehead, and the expression on his face was clearly "Oh Mai Ka"!

Deng Fei couldn't help but smile and said, "I'll just say that there is no one else except you who can cause Heshen's heart to suffer a severe blow."

"Okay, maybe maybe."

Zhao Xin had already thought a lot when Deng Fei was reading the telegram, so he asked: "Old Deng, if you were Heshen, where would you go?"

Deng Fei touched the stubble on his chin, thought for a moment and said, "I can't say it well. Hey, will he go to Yunnan and Guizhou to join He Lin?"

"How to go?" Zhao Xin walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed to the capital and Kunming, and continued to ask: "The two places are five or six thousand miles apart, and they will take a family together. Whether it is going to go to the Yangtze River to Sichuan or to Guangxi, it is impossible not to show their traces. Do you believe it? The Qing court must have sent 600 miles to the governors of various places to rush to the siege and block the siege."

Deng Fei said: "Then what do you mean?"

Zhao Xin said confidently: "I don't think Heshen will let his family take such a big risk, otherwise he will not need to take everyone away. Unless Helin can lead his army to Nanning Prefecture, Guangxi, or go north to take down Xuzhou, Luzhou and Chongqing Prefecture, and it will be a thing of the past to go to the Yangtze River. The problem is that if he does this, he will be rebelling. He is not that stupid."

"You mean..." Deng Fei got up and walked up and down to the map for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Anping Port?"

"Yes! This is the fastest route he can escape from the Qing Dynasty's search." Zhao Xin pointed to the northern section of the Grand Canal on the map: "Go on the boat from Zhangjiawan, leave Tongzhou and enter Tianjin Prefecture, walk the main stream of the Haihe River at the mouth of Sancha River, and change the boat to the Zhigu Wharf to go out to sea. He Mansion's housekeeper Ma Bashisan, and Wang Ping, had been to Anping Port many times. They should be very familiar with this route."

Deng Fei looked at the map and said for a moment: "How to deal with him? I have been greedy for so much money and cream, so I must not let him take it away!"

Zhao Xin said: "Heshen dares to do this, he must have planned it for more than a day or two. The cunning rabbit has three holes. When it comes to his ability to trick people, you and I are not his opponents."

"Haha, you are so skillful now. Qianlong has to pinch his nose and swallow bitter fruit. Why should he be so humble?" Deng Fei asked curiously, "Why are you planning to meet him at Anping Port?"

"I don't have that time to let the Intelligence Agency come forward."

On the fifth day after the two talked, the "Shengjing Battle" that had been prepared for a long time also kicked off.

On July 15, 1794, it rained heavily. At 6 pm, Pan Xiucheng's troops stationed at the Burtuku Gate dispatched two regiments, crossed the willow wall, and launched an attack on Kaiyuan City, which caught the Qing army off guard. The defenders in the city did not expect that the North Navy would attack the city in the rain, and were frightened to death.

The Qing army had only 1,500 defenders in Kaiyuan, which was twice as high as before. Facing the shells falling on the city walls, the Manchu Zuo, who served as the guard, looked as if dead. Although the Northern Navy adopted the three quads and one yard and left the south, due to heavy rain, the Yehe River water surged and there was no way to escape. At 9 o'clock in the evening, the Kaiyuan County Magistrate sent people out of the city and surrendered to the Northern Navy.

That night, two battalions of the North Navy took advantage of the little rain, led by the reconnaissance team, headed by the reconnaissance team and headed west along the north bank of the Yehe River, and headed straight to Julanghe City on the right bank of the Juliu River. Early the next morning, another regiment took a large assault boat that had been prepared long ago and went west along the Yehe River, and then turned south into Juliu River. Their target was Tieling on the south bank of the Liao River.

On the same day, the Northern Navy in Shandong mobilized three regiments of troops. Under the command of Sheng Haizhou, they also launched attacks on Huangxian, Zhaoyuan and Laiyang. The defenders from all over the country all surrendered. Kong Shaoan worked hard in Jiaodong for two years, punishing evil and dividing land, which was very popular. Therefore, when the people along the way learned that the Northern Navy was coming, they all set up incense tables and ate pots of slurry.

When Shandong's urgent memorials flew to the capital like snow, at noon on July 16, 1794, a Cantonese sailboat from Beihai Town sailed into Anping Port and stopped at the military berth.

Xu Dayong - the intelligence leader of Beihai Town, who had registered in the Qing Dynasty, was wearing a straight military uniform, a large-brimmed military cap, and a rank of lieutenant colonel. He walked down the springboard with several subordinates. After saluting each other with the head of the local intelligence bureau who came to greet him, he asked: "How is the situation?"

The person in charge said: "They arrived three days ago. There were too many people. They booked the two largest courtyards in the guesthouse. Many people lived on the boat. The food was ordered from the counter, and the guy could only deliver it to the gate of the yard. The people on the boat bought and cooked their own vegetables, and a few went to brothels run by North Koreans, which was in a mess. The female family basically didn't show up, but the one took a few subordinates around every day."

"Where has he gone?"

The person in charge said: "The market, warehouse, and ships. I spend the most time in the warehouse."

"When they registered, did they say how many days to stay?"

"I didn't say it. There was an old butler who looked like a man who said they were going to wait for someone."
