Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Although Mian Ning looked like a country bumpkin, and even from a distance he looked like Chiang Kai-shek wearing a Qing dynasty imperial robe, he was quite capable and had mastered all the necessary sports skills for a prince, such as riding a horse, shooting arrows and firing a gun.

Moreover, even when he encountered the people from the Tianli Sect attacking him, he was not panicked at all.

Because he saw this fine gun and the instruction manual that came with it, he understood what was said in plain language.

It fires in the same way as the muskets in the palace, except that the bullets are loaded from behind, and it is very ornately decorated.

It was covered with exquisite Russian-style patterns. Mian Ning couldn't let it go after touching it, and thought that the emperor would probably be reluctant to use this "treasure gun".

But he could not imagine now that when he became emperor in the future, he would probably break the stingy record of the Qing emperors.

As for loading bullets, it is also very convenient. After opening the valve, push the bullet into the barrel. The structure is simple but also ingenious.

After pushing the bullet in, close the valve, aim at the peephole, and adjust the shooting distance of the peephole as described above.

Although Mian Ning looks old-fashioned, he is not stupid.

Compared with Jiaqing, the questions he asked when he was Emperor Daoguang were not too stupid. He even asked about his young wife Victoria whether she was married and how she was doing in school.

On the contrary, during the reign of Jiaqing, there were often a lot of diplomatic jokes due to mistakes. On the contrary, before the invasion of the British in 1840, although Daoguang was extremely poor, he was still tough. For example, Na Yancheng directly turned the Kingdom of Kokand into a slave bek, and Yang Fang, an abstract commander, chased Zhang Geer to the mountains and captured him.

There is also the veteran Yang Yuchun who worked with Na Yancheng. He made his living by fighting. In his early years, he followed Fu Kang'an to fight Lin Shuangwen and crossed the mountains to Gurkha. It is estimated that half of the KPI for suppressing the White Lotus Sect was his.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty was not without good generals, but the version updates of Earth Online were so fast after entering the 19th century that these old guys could hardly keep up with the progress.

Now he was able to master the quick gun very quickly. There was even a follower of the Tianli Sect who had climbed onto the city wall, giving him a perfect opportunity to aim at him.

At such a distance and with such a good gun, Mian Ning quickly pulled the trigger.

There was a loud bang, and the believer was shot in the head. He fell backwards and fell directly off the palace wall.

"Second Master, you have great marksmanship!"

Eunuch Sun and the young eunuch were picking up the rifles on the roof while cheering for Mian Ning.

Well, after they came up, they were quite professional and got a bunch of marbles. Although the material of these things was quite poor, they were still useful.

"Eunuch Sun, don't just stand there and watch. Fire a few shots to scare these thieves."

Mian Ning is a prince. If the situation is urgent and thieves are attacking, he can fire a gun in the palace, but Eunuch Sun and the young eunuch do not have the courage to do so.

Although it was smart of him to bring marbles with him.

"The servant dare not."

"I don't want you to kill the enemy either. I just want you to fire a few shots to show your strength."

"Then I dare not."

"When our Emperor Gaozong Chun was in power, the Shenji Camp also sometimes fired guns into the sky. They did that..."

Although the reinforcements that are coming also include those from the Shenjiying.

Eunuch Sun and the two young eunuchs did not dare to do so and just loaded ammunition for Mian Ning.

Mian Zhi, who was standing on the steps of the Yangxin Palace, also saw more thieves climbing the wall. He was holding an ordinary shotgun, so he raised his hand and shot the second believer who dared to climb the wall.

Seeing this situation, a leader of the Tianli Sect was ready to take the lead in climbing the wall and boost morale.

Then, as soon as he showed up, he was caught by Mian Ning.

He ejected the shell, reloaded another round, and fired again.

Eunuch Sun also put away two loaded muskets, but unfortunately they were not used.

Mr. Mian Ning laughed uncontrollably when he saw how sharp the gun was and hit the second one.

"What a nice gun, what a nice gun!"

Even Napoleon didn't give a good review of this thing because his shooting skills were not as good as his wife's.

"Second Master is so awesome! Great gun!"

The young eunuch also imitated Eunuch Sun in praising Mian Ning, but it was not wrong to praise him at this time, after all, he was really accurate. They couldn't see clearly from the top of the hall, but what the outsiders saw was that the two were shot in the head, and red and white blood flowed out together. The one who was knocked down by Mian Zhi was even more terrifying, with a bullet in the neck, and blood kept spurting out, and he was twitching on the ground.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Dou knew that there was no way they could survive if they rebelled now, so they had to fight hard.

Even after three of the unlucky guys who were climbing the wall were killed, they finally plucked up their courage and rushed through the Yangxin Gate.

Then Mian Zhi led a few courageous guards and some young eunuchs who were actually braver than the guards to fight with these dozens of believers.

In fact, the level of these believers is not even up to the level of a coup in a small African country. However, because this was the level during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, it is inevitable that they will make mistakes.

Although they broke through the layer of guards, a prince with dozens of young eunuchs and a few courageous guards blocked them from behind.

It's not like every eunuch is Cao Duzhu and knows Tiangang Tongzi Kung Fu.
Even Mian Zhi drew his sword and chopped three people in a row.

After all, they are older beile and have been trained in their early years. At critical moments, these old beile of the Mian generation may be useful, while those young ones are useless, especially those of the Yi generation.

He had managed to stabilize the situation, but Mian Ning on the roof of the hall was still firing, and every bullet hit its target.

The members of the Tianli Sect who fell behind could only blame themselves for their bad luck. After all, they did not move forward and were shot by the gunmen on the roof, and they could not resist for a while.

Even before the few tents of royal guards arrived to help, the believers had already dispersed.

The Imperial Guards arrived late. Besides this, there was another problem. Apart from the elite troops from outside the Great Wall who went on long journeys on a daily basis, the Qing army was just a group of people maintaining public order, or even an armed urban management force. When they arrived, the remaining followers all scattered like birds and beasts.

It is not easy to catch them.

There were also a few eunuchs from the palace mixed in here. They no longer acted as guides, but ran back to their respective places of responsibility, whether it was the flower room, the imperial kitchen or somewhere else.

There was even an eunuch named Yang who was very creative. He ran back to his place of work, picked up a club and pretended to chase the followers of Tianli Sect. However, he was discovered and executed after being caught.

Jiaqing himself was shocked by this farce of siege of the Forbidden City.

He received the report while he was on his way back to the capital.

Therefore, they hurried back. This year, they finally found a lynx in Mulan Paddock. However, due to the civil uprising led by Li Wencheng and others, they had to return from the paddock.

In previous years, only the hunting trophies in the 15th year of Jiaqing were good. This year, before it even started, they were ruined by the rebels.

But Jiaqing was an emperor with a good temper after all, and he did not punish his ministers too harshly.

When he entered the Forbidden City and saw this scene, although he was shocked, he was already thinking about how to write the edict of repentance.

After all, the previous dynasty where the Qing Dynasty was always firing cannons, the case of being attacked with a club was not so outrageous, and the unemployed cook he met before was just an equal.

Now, on the one hand, we have to re-examine the situation based on the second report from the Wanping County Magistrate, and dispatch the elite troops of the Shenji Battalion and Ruijian Battalion to pursue Lin Qing, and on the other hand, we have to properly discipline those inactive bureaucrats in the capital.

However, Jiaqing still did not kill anyone.

If it were the narrow-minded Qianlong, he would probably find a way to pull this person down even if he ran to the moon - provided he had the ability to do so.

The current iron-hat king has merely been stripped of his title and has become an idle member of the royal family.

Ji Lun, the commander-in-chief of the Infantry Commander's Office, was a capable official who had made some achievements when he was the governor of Shandong. However, he ended up doing such a ridiculous thing in the capital. He was dismissed from his positions as the Minister of Works, commander-in-chief of the Infantry Commander's Office, and some other posts. In addition, he was stripped of his peacock feather and his hat.

But this punishment is merely symbolic.

The person we really need to deal with is Lin Qing, the leader of the illegal fund-raising and pyramid scheme.

This guy was defeated much faster than Li Wencheng. Even though he was chased by two old Zakus from Na Yancheng and Yang Yuchun, he finally held out for ninety-three days before being defeated.

Lin Qing was in Daxing, right under the nose of the capital. After the believers in Donghuamen fled, he also hid himself.

However, in just four days, most of the Tianli Sect believers near the capital were arrested.

Not to mention an emperor like Jiaqing who was relatively lenient in leading the Qing Dynasty, even if it was the more merciful Song Renzong or the Emperor Liu Bei who was good at pacifying the Yellow Turbans and rebels, they probably wouldn't be able to stand such a master of performance art.

So, those who should be beheaded were beheaded, and at one time more than 700 people died.

However, the attack on the palace city and the escape and vulnerability of these palace guards were minor matters. Mian Ning and several eunuchs reported to Jiaqing that the muskets and bullets that were usually kept in the palace were missing. Only the "treasure gun" that was tributed by the Rakshasa Kingdom was not destroyed because it was locked in a box.

Jiaqing could be considered a king who maintained the status quo. Although his level was not as good as that of the previous generations, he was able to come to his senses and roughly knew what was going on.

There is more than one traitor in the palace, and it is very likely that they are by the emperor's side, otherwise such a thing would not have happened.

Then, after seeing the two "treasure spears", Emperor Jiaqing named the one that Mian Ning had used before "Weilie". He also bestowed the title of "Prince Zhi" on Mian Ning with an annual salary of 12,000 taels.

But the matter is not over yet, Lin Qing still needs to be interrogated.

As for the content presented, it made Jiaqing laugh and cry. Such a street rogue who was quite loyal in the underworld actually caused such a big fuss in the capital.

Lin Qing's final fate was to be executed by slow slicing at Caishikou on September 27th. There must have been many people watching the fun.

As for Jiaqing, his anger was still not over and he was playing with the "treasure spear" of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the palace.

When he saw the exquisite decoration, he was reluctant to use it, so he locked it in the tribute box.

Even if the eunuchs saw this gun, they probably wouldn't throw it away because the bullet and the cartridge were stuck together.
After all, in the eyes of the eunuchs in charge, gunpowder must be filled on one side so that the bullet can be fired.

It was also because of their low cultural level that the newly-appointed Prince Zhi did not use his own copper buttons and the marbles collected by the eunuchs to fight the rebels.

However, this Rakshasa Kingdom always aroused Jiaqing's curiosity.

Although his level was not high, his brain was still very useful. He was even able to recall that a few years ago, the tribute envoys from the Rakshasa Kingdom passed through, went to Kulun, and returned.

The two Rakshasa speedboats that came from the sea left under the imperial order, and the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi and the Governor of Guangdong also reported this.

In other words, Russia was too far away, and the emperors of both sides did not send anyone to conduct a comprehensive reconciliation.

Jiaqing himself felt that there was a problem. Even Ji Lun could be so negligent in his duties. I'm afraid there were many ministers like this in the Qing Dynasty.

This is too clear, take the jujube pill!
However, he probably would not have such an idea. He just worked diligently in his lifelong job as the Qing emperor, which allowed him to not retire. He was not his father, Emperor Qianlong, who claimed that he could not exceed the 61 years of Emperor Shengzu Ren's reign.

He would probably stay in this position until his death. Being an emperor was not an easy job, but his father had already decided that he had to shoulder this burden, especially since he was the only emperor who had successfully passed the throne to the emperor.

At night, he was still sighing, thinking about these things, and naturally he needed to vent some of them.

"Eroli."

"The slave is here."

"After the morning court tomorrow, I will ask the Imperial Academy to send a Hanlin who is familiar with the classics and military affairs to give me lectures on the classics. I need a learned person with a strong character. Don't give up, just do it this way."

"The slave obeys the order."

Find a Hanlin who has a strong temper and is well-educated. There is such a person in the Shuchangguan of the Hanlin Academy.

But when people mention him, they can't help but recite a poem.

Lin Zexu was only 28 years old that year. When he was on duty in the Hanlin Academy, he also happened to encounter the Taiping Rebellion, and was naturally shocked.

However, the emperor wanted to summon a learned scholar to give a lecture on the imperial court, but according to his academic qualifications and seniority, it was not his turn.

But the emperor's request is indeed outrageous.

You need to find someone with an upright character. As for interpersonal relationships, the people in the Hanlin Academy are all well-educated and can always make friends through poetry and literature. Unlike other government offices and local officialdom, everyone is still harmonious.

However, if you want to find someone with a bad temper and great knowledge, it is probably this Lord Lin Zexu. He was a second-class Jinshi in the 15th year of Jiaqing, and it is most appropriate to choose him as a Shujishi. (End of this chapter)
