Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 249 Hong Xiuquan: Descend to the Earth to Experience Tribulations, and Ascend to Heaven! (Additional Chapter )

Sushun was the uncle of Emperor Xianfeng's first wife, Empress Xiaodexian, and was Emperor Xianfeng's true confidant.

It was almost impossible to persuade him to betray Xianfeng and help Yi assassinate the regnal.

Upon hearing this, Yi shook his head.

"No, assassination does not necessarily require the capture of Sushun."

"I got a type of musket from a Westerner some time ago. It's called a rifle. It has rifling inside the barrel and uses a conical bullet."

"You can shoot and hit from hundreds of paces."

"If we arrange for elite gunmen to use this gun to carry out the assassination, we can accomplish the task without the cooperation of the guards."

"And on the day when the long-haired bandit leader is skinned alive, the area around the execution ground at Caishikou will probably be quite busy."

"In this case, it's convenient to arrange an ambush for the gunmen!"

Borjigit thought for a while, then nodded and said.

“That’s possible!”

"But assassination is a serious matter after all, so we should be cautious when we actually deal with it."

"Don't let any news leak out, otherwise we will all die without a burial place!"

Yi nodded to show that he understood.

"Don't worry, mother. I will make proper arrangements."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Xingzhen who was sitting on the bed, and then said.

"Xingzhen, just rest assured and take care of yourself."

"Leave the rest to me."

"I will definitely protect you and the child!"

When saying this, Yi's attitude was quite firm.

Isn't it Xianfeng who did it for the sake of his own children?

Kill him!
……

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed and it was the day to torture the long-haired bandit leader Hong Xiuquan to death.

On this day, Xianfeng got up early, changed his clothes, washed, and packed up. After smoking enough opium, he got on the imperial sedan and set off for the outside of the imperial city.

When the team was halfway there, An Dehai suddenly felt a creepy feeling in his heart and started to persuade them.

"Your Majesty, there are too many people in the market, and it is quite chaotic. If Your Majesty goes there in person to watch the ceremony, I am afraid that some unruly people will bump into Your Majesty."

"In my opinion, it would be best for Your Majesty to wait for news in the palace."

Upon hearing this, Xianfeng waved his hand and said, "I don't care at all."

"Xiao Anzi, you don't have to persuade me anymore."

"It took a lot of effort for the Qing Dynasty to wipe out the Taiping rebels and capture their leader, Hong Xiuquan, alive. If I cannot see the execution of the rebel leader with my own eyes, I will not be at peace."

Xianfeng really hated Hong Xiuquan.

In his opinion, if Hong Xiuquan had not taken the lead, how could there be so many traitors and rebels in the world who would rise up in rebellion and wreak havoc on the Qing Dynasty?

Xianfeng would naturally not miss the opportunity to witness Hong Xiuquan being skinned alive.

If Emperor Xianfeng had not seen Hong Xiuquan being skinned alive with his own eyes, he would not have been able to feel happy!
Upon hearing this, An Dehai opened his mouth but could not say anything else. He could only step aside and quietly follow the emperor.

Xianfeng's imperial carriage continued to move towards Caishikou.

After the imperial carriage arrived at the execution ground in Caishikou, the area around Caishikou was already surrounded by people who came to watch the excitement.

The imperial guards dispersed the people and cleared a path. Xianfeng, surrounded by a group of guards, went up to the execution platform that had been set up in advance.

The execution platform was surrounded by layers of imperial guards.

Ever since the incident with Hong Xuanjiao, Xianfeng began to become cautious.

Everyone he sees looks like an assassin, so the number of guards around him has been increased several times.

Xianfeng's attention to his own safety was increasing steadily.

If it weren't for the fact that the scene of skinning Hong Xiuquan alive was so rare, Xianfeng would never have left the palace to show his face. Sitting on the execution platform, Xianfeng waved his hand to signal the palace maids and eunuchs to serve tea.

Afterwards, a number of Qing court's Grand Council ministers, including Yi, Sushun, Qi Junzao and others, also arrived.

Xianfeng warmly invited all the ministers to take their seats.

Then he spoke very happily.

"Today, the leader of the long-haired bandits was executed by slow slicing. I think the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty would be pleased to be able to offer his head to the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

Sushun on the side immediately echoed.

"Your Majesty is right."

"But in my opinion, presenting the head of the thief to the Imperial Ancestral Temple will not only comfort our ancestors, but will also deter the ambitious people in the world."

Qi Junzao also started to compliment him.

"We have made a good start by eliminating the Taiping rebels. I believe it won't take long before the world can be stable again."

"Your Majesty should be the master of the revival of the Qing Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Xianfeng nodded and smiled, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

However, Xianfeng suddenly discovered that Yi Jin was unusually silent today.

In the past, if there was an opportunity like today, Yi would definitely stay by Xianfeng's side and flatter him from time to time.

However, not only did Yimei not say a word today, he actually kept away from Xianfeng from beginning to end.

This made Xianfeng quite strange.

But Xianfeng didn't care too much about it. After all, who doesn't have a bad mood sometimes?

After playing the role of Yihao's younger brother for such a long time, it is normal for him to be distracted occasionally!

Taking his eyes off Yi, Xianfeng turned his gaze towards the execution platform below.

Accompanied by several cannon shots, a prisoner van slowly drove in from the end of the road.

A large number of Qing army runners and soldiers gathered around the prison van, guarding its safety and being careful to prevent anyone from intercepting it.

Soon, the prison car was pushed to the bottom of the execution platform, and Hong Xiuquan, with disheveled hair, was escorted out of the prison car and escorted by two Qing soldiers, staggering towards the execution platform.

Hong Xiuquan was pushed in front of a cross and then tied to the cross with his arms spread out.

Hong Xiuquan raised his head and cursed at Emperor Xianfeng who was standing on the execution platform.

"Chief Tartar, I am in your hands today, not because of bad luck, but because Heavenly Father ordered me to come down to earth to experience disasters."

"Now, I will follow the example of my brother Jesus, suffer the catastrophe and ascend to heaven to serve before the Father."

"I curse you in the name of the Son of Heavenly Father, the Emperor God. I curse you to have your family destroyed, your descendants cut off, and your brothers and ministers abandon you. You will not die a good death!"

“Hahahaha, you’re doomed to die!”

When Hong Xiuquan was defeated and captured, he was indeed disheartened at first.

I don’t know how could this happen to me when I am blessed by God!

But after thinking about what happened to his heavenly brother Jesus, Lao Hong quickly came to his senses.

I am the son of God, how could God not protect me?
This time, he was defeated and captured. The Heavenly Father simply wanted him to emulate his Heavenly Brother Jesus and suffer on earth.

When the tribulation is over, one will be able to ascend to heaven and return to the Father in Heaven.

In his view, death is not an end for him, but another beginning.

So, Hong Xiuquan has now completely let it go.

He cursed at Xianfeng and others on the podium without any scruples.

It's just that the scene was too noisy.

Therefore, even if Hong Xiuquan shouted at the top of his lungs, the only people who could hear him were the executioner on the execution platform and the people around him.

Xianfeng, who was sitting on the high platform, could only see Hong Xiuquan's mouth opening and closing, but could not hear what he was shouting.

……

It's the end of the month, it will be wasted if you don't vote for the monthly ticket. Please vote for me and give me a reward!
