Sixty-two, the eunuch party is fierce (Part 2)

Generally speaking, literati who fails the imperial examination are at least ten times more than successful people - Juren is more than ten times more than Jinshi, scholars are more than ten times more than Juren, and children who cannot even get a scholar are also more than ten times more than scholars.

The situation of eunuchs is basically the same - the position of eunuchs in the palace with at most tens of thousands of people corresponds to a huge eunuch group of at least hundreds of thousands or even millions among the people.

Eunuchs were originally despised by others and had to endure physical pain, low status, family rejection and social discrimination at the same time. But on the other hand, they were at the center of power and served the emperor with the supreme authority of life and death, which alone was enough to be awesome. In addition, many eunuchs who were well-off also had dazzling power and endless wealth for life.

After the late emperor advocated the rule of the country by eunuchs, castrating himself with a sword became the right way to become an official. Many people who have been poor for generations but cannot change their destiny, those who are lazy and uneasy about their duties, and those who have no chance of being in the imperial examination but are hopeless to succeed, have embarked on the road of castrating himself with a sword to seek wealth. Therefore, private castration has formed a trend for a while, and even the extreme phenomenon of whole villages and whole villages castrating themselves.

More importantly, in addition to those poor and poor people at the bottom, many powerful gentry in their families saw that the eunuchs are powerful and the children of the clan were all made to become officials... As a result, these people gritted their teeth and cut off their descendants. With the unique taste of eunuchs, they made such a huge sacrifice. They thought they would be able to embark on the glorious road of success next, but unexpectedly they stepped into the ice hole!

We just cut off little jj with tears and sacrificed our whole life's happiness. The emperor actually wants to let the eunuchs no longer let the eunuchs become officials!

——What a scam this is?!!!

If the official position and fame are lost, you may be able to slowly find a way to make a comeback. Once this jj is cut off, it will definitely not be taken back! Even the legendary black yù intermittent ointment is not enough! And I didn’t expect to save it in advance!

What's more, if this eunuch can be selected into the palace, it will naturally be a step ahead. But if he falls into the market, he is a lowly person who is discriminated against by many people. His status and reputation are not as good as a bitch. Not to mention that it is difficult to find a way to work and farm, even begging for food will be discriminated against!

For a moment, the millions of eunuchs who thought they had entered the imperial bureaucratic reserve team soon found that they had become extremely miserable, just like a pariah, and were all rolled around wherever they went, almost everyone became cynical, full of infinite resentment towards the court and the emperor.

Among these unlucky eunuchs, it is already a great good fortune to be able to do hard work to exchange for a bowl of rice for people. More eunuchs can only beg on the road forcibly, or even gather to rob. Most of them usually hide among the ruins and walls, watching the chariots passing by. If they are just passing riders in groups and there is no one in the wilderness, these eunuchs will run out in groups, tie the carriages and horses, grab all the valuable things on the travelers, peel off all the better clothes, and then scatter.

Because the edict to depose the eunuch party was issued less than three years ago, the remnants of the eunuch party were far from gone, so such eunuch robbers were basically everywhere in Jiangnan. Because of the relationship between the big leader of the Yayi'an, most of them were related to the revolutionary party, and as a result, all kinds of eunuch party violence were repeatedly banned. Influential local gentry in the countryside were also lacking in interest in helping the court stabilize the order - because although Emperor Kant does not highly recommend eunuchs to govern the country, he especially likes to value relatives and distrust southerners, resulting in most of the official positions being monopolized by the royal relatives of the Manchus, and the old Han officials were successively expelled from power. The loyalty of the Han gentry naturally reduced to the limit.

In short, the extremely disorderly government affairs of the Great Jin Empire over the years have turned its territory into a huge fire bucket. Any imperial enemy who is good at using his mind can set up an amazing rebellion team in the capital of this empire - this is true for the Demon Cult and the Revolutionary Party. The Far East Fleet of the Naèrel Empire invaded from a foreign country is naturally no exception...

For example, at this moment, Guo Bo came to flatter Feili, the "invader leader" with a large number of eunuchs who were determined to take revenge.

Divide-Separation-Line

Under the fooling act of the former commander of the Jing army, Eunuch Guo Bo and Guo, General Feili Taylor finally made up his mind to attack Zhenjiang.

On September 22, 3rd, Kant, the outpost of the first Nanjing offensive and defensive battle, the Battle of Zhenjiang, broke out.

Overall, it was a short battle without any suspense.

The officials and gentry in Zhenjiang City had just fought with the Demon Cult thugs. They had a deep hatred for each other and could not get the assistance of the senior brothers and sisters. Because of their stinginess in military spending, they foolishly drove away the only foreign gun team (that is the group of people under the Anerle Guan led the leadership). Only more than 4,000 corrupt green camp soldiers and several regiments of training villages were left to defend the city. After deducting the vacancy, they might not even be able to get two thousand people together.

However, the attacking party was joined by various revolutionary parties to assist in the war. There was no need for the Nairel fleet to send troops to land, so it gathered no less than six or seven thousand people. In addition, a large number of internal party followers had already lurked in the city, and there was no problem of unfamiliar with geography.

In fact, before the fleet on the river started shelling, the eunuch party suicide squad in the city rushed into Zhenjiang County with bombs, paralyzing the command center of the defenders. Another group of internal respondents opened Zhenjiangxi and let all the parties who had been waiting in the suburbs flock directly to the city.

After Feili ordered the warships to take turns to bombard the north of the Yangtze River with solid bullets, the organized resistance of Zhenjiang finally broke down. The remaining green camp soldiers took off their military uniforms, threw down their weapons, and fled separately. The more backbone village warriors started street fighting in the city, using the bows, big swords and spears in their hands, and a very small number of old-style muskets to continue fighting based on the house until they completely collapsed.

The most intense battle on this day broke out in the Manchus' settlement in the city. Because they knew that the revolutionary party had always advocated racial revolution and were determined to slaughter all of them, the "barbarians of the country", the long-depressed Eight Banners children had to recover some of the blood bravery of their ancestors in front of the butcher knife of death. They bit the bullet and raised their weapons to fight to the death. Even the women and children were holding their ancestral waist knives and shouting to fight hard, and the whole family fought together.

Because the guards were very brave, and the Manchus' settlement area was originally equivalent to a military fortress, with strong houses and difficult to attack, with large and large watchtowers. The revolutionary parties failed several attacks. For a while, they were still stumbling. Only the eunuchs' death squad was still holding the bombs and fighting desperately. Feili saw the street fighting in the city for a long time on the boat, fearing that something would change, so he supported several poison gas bombs from friendly forces on the shore, and let them throw them into the Manchus' settlement area with dense buildings and towering courtyard walls... Finally, at midnight on this day, the battle was basically over.

In this service, more than a thousand people were killed or injured by revolutionary parties from all walks of life. Nearly half of the houses in Zhenjiang City were burned. The descendants of the Eight Banners stationed here, a total of about 3,000 men, young and old, were massacred. The "Zhenjiang Revolutionary Political Fu" was established on the night of June 22.

However, these battles basically have nothing to do with Feili, because he never sent troops to land from beginning to end, and only carried out several rounds of artillery on the river surface, and then distributed the five thousand taels of silver seized.

For General Fili Taylor, the only target he was willing to sacrifice to launch the attack this time was Nanjing, the imperial capital not far ahead.

On September 23, another subsequent fleet consisting of six warships and four merchant ships, carrying three hundred Hokkien barbarians and two hundred Japanese troops, arrived at Zhenjiang Port and met with Feili's main force.

On September 25, the Far East Fleet of Nerell arrived on the Xiaguan River. The court was shocked and the capital was martial law...
