517 Manchu palace change
Xiao Lotian did not show up on the grand occasion of Jin Changsen's execution, not only did he not show up, but none of the senior officers of the entire New Army showed up. It's not that they're ruthless and callous, it's because they have more important things to deal with.
This sounds very surprising, because the current Tanggu Special Industrial Zone has been surrounded by troops sent by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the 300 new troops and more than 500 foreign engineers, including more than 3,000 laborers, have all been defended in the unbuilt special zone, and have been in a stalemate with each other for 10 days now.
And the www.biquge.info of the whole thing is still to be pushed back to the time when the French warships had just begun to bomb the Ryukyus, and the news had just been transmitted to Sijiu City.
In the spring of 1866, Xiao Letian left East Asia and crossed the ocean to fight Europa, which was difficult to understand in the eyes of Asians at the time.
Even Zeng Guofan said regretfully, "Arrogant, really arrogant, you have only been rooted in East Asia for a few years? Just like a small tree that has just taken root, how can you lightly leave the foundation of your career? Looking at it, the catastrophe will be obtained in a blink of an eye..."
Facts have proved the judgment of the marshal, as soon as Xiao Letian left East Asia, the Manchurian nobles were a little ready to move, not only did the construction of the Tanggu Special Industrial Zone encounter many constraints, but even the business of Lotte & Co. also had more spies trying to steal secrets, if it weren't for the effective operation of the torture hall in Wang Huaiyuan's hands, there might not really be a big incident.
The big change that followed was that after the news of Xiao Letian's death reached the Jingshi, the great restlessness of the conservatives represented by Cixi, under the instruction of the Empress Dowager of the West, the eagle claw Sun of the Jingshi poured out of the nest, and launched an attack on the torture hall led by Chun Shisanniang in line with the principle of preferring to catch a thousand by mistake than letting go of one.
In just a few days, the prison of the Criminal Department was already overcrowded, and even the general Iron Harrier under Chun Thirteen Niang was arrested. It was from that day that the torture hall began to evacuate Beijing on a large scale, and the Manchu court was extremely arrogant for a while.
Thanks to the loyal Ermao who did Ci'an's work, the Empress Dowager of the East Palace even came up with a secret killer Xianfeng secret purpose, which suppressed Cixi's arrogance.
In the following days, the torture hall used countless manpower and material resources to carry out a large-scale rescue, and finally bought the half-crippled iron harrier that had been tortured with money.
But the good times did not last long, Ci'an used the secret decree to forcibly suppress Cixi, and did not solve the fundamental problem, she was like raising the soup to stop the boiling, and kept pouring cold water on the fanatical Manchurians, but she could not withdraw the charcoal burning under the pot at all.
Just when Ci'an was struggling to stabilize the situation, an accident happened, a piece of information from the Ryukyus in the heavy rain of the capital shook the city of Sijiu, and the French opened fire on the Ryukyus without warning, and the cannon fire in the East China Sea completely ignited the enthusiasm of Cixi's faction.
After two opium wars, foreigners were invincible in the eyes of the Manchu government, especially the French were one of the culprits who burned down the Old Summer Palace, and they couldn't afford to save it.
Now that the French have made a move on Xiao Letian, the Manchu Qing suddenly felt that he had received a powerful foreign aid, and Xiao Letian's killer features in the past had lost their deterrent effect at this moment.
What's more critical is that the foggy imp deceived Cixi at the last moment. Although she squeezed out the accurate news of Xiao Letian's life and death, she secretly concealed it. It was her deception that broke Cixi's last scruples and allowed this famous ruthless character in history to show her fangs in advance.
This is a dark battle without gunpowder, Cixi finally made up her mind at the instigation of the Fog Hidden Imp, the Forbidden City's old ancestor and several of his big disciples were sent to the Beijing Division to carry out the mission, and the Forbidden City finally let the Fog Hidden Ghost run rampant.
Several herbs that can make women mess with sex in the imperial pharmacy were bizarrely lost, and the officers of the Shenji Battalion who guarded the walls of the palace unexpectedly made a few 'small fortunes', and the head of the Internal Affairs Office was bizarrely seriously ill...... One bizarre event after another has formed a noose, slowly going to the neck of the Empress Dowager Ci'an.
Cixi and the little imp of the fog are waiting for an opportunity, a chance to ruin Ci'an's reputation, "This cheap woman, why don't you see the minister yet?" As long as you dare to see a man, the strong aphrodisiac concocted by the ninja will make you lose all your mind, and you will pounce when you see a man like a, and then someone will naturally break in and expose your true face......"
"Hehehehe......" Cixi and Wuyin laughed insidiously, and at that moment they actually gave birth to confidants.
The opportunity finally made them wait, when the third day of the rumors of the Beijing Division, Ci'an unexpectedly summoned Fuhui and Fuqing, Xiao Letian's eldest brother Qing Sanye is not the most ideal target to blame?
Cixi's subordinates finally began to act, this time the black hand is even more vicious than the previous history, Xiao Letian's previous life Ci'an just died of a violent illness, and in this life Cixi wants her to be ruined, which shows how ruthless she is in her heart.
Ci'an summoned Qing Sanye for the purpose of listening to the enlightened Manchu people's analysis of the situation. Yes, in the late Qing Dynasty, not all the Manchurians were Eight Banners, and there were still a group of young talents who were willing to accept new things, and Qing Sanye was naturally an open-minded person among the Manchu nobles because of his closeness to Xiao Letian, so it was naturally not wrong to listen to his analysis of the situation.
It's a pity that no one would have thought that Cixi would dare to secretly drug Ci'an's reputation, and this party would suddenly become a www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion that troubled the Jingshi.
Just when Ci'an took the fragrant tea offered by the palace maid, he didn't wait to drink it, and suddenly a group of people broke in from outside the hall, and the leader was actually Ermao and the ancestor, God knows how they hooked up together.
It turned out that the foggy imp was so secretive that she forgot to close the biggest loophole in her operation, which was the French intelligence officer who had been tortured by her. The brother Shunto Mogua, who remained in Jingshi, finally dug up this secret from the French, and they also got important information that Xiao Lotian was still alive.
Ermao, who got accurate information, listened to the outrageous rumors of Jingshi, and with some bizarre actions in the palace, it was naturally not difficult to analyze Cixi's conspiracy.
Ermao had secretly formed an alliance with Ci'an at this time, of course, such information would not be hidden from the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, and what was even more gratifying was that the ancestor was a very traditional loyal minister, in his mind, the East Palace was naturally more noble than the West Palace, and Ci'an's orders were of course more important than Cixi's.
Ermao snatched the poisonous tea from Ci'an's hand, and the old ancestor knew the ingredients of the medicinal effect with his nose, and the angry old ancestor took his disciples and grandchildren to instantly control all the palace maids and eunuchs. And at this time, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who were responsible for guarding the walls of the Forbidden City, under the leadership of An Dehai and the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, came in with a fierce momentum.
"Come on, the miscellaneous family heard that there is a foreign minister... What a bold ......" The arrogant An Dehai had just rushed into the hall, and before he could finish shouting the scene, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Where does Ci'an look like he is in estrus, and how can the old ancestor and Ermao be here? An Dehai was so frightened that the white hair and sweat came out, and this kid was really clever and suddenly slapped the little eunuch next to him with his backhand.
"Little bastard, you dare to deceive the miscellaneous...... Pull it out and peel it for cramps......"
But just when An Dehai was looking for the steps and wanted to retreat, suddenly the apse of Ci'an's dormitory, Zhongcui Palace, snapped with the sound of glass smashing, and the foggy ghost dressed as a palace maid rushed to the ridge of the roof and pinched a bright yellow cloth roll in his hand.
"An Dehai still doesn't start...... The secret decree of the first emperor has already arrived......" After speaking, the little ghost of the fog concealed light the fire in the wind, and the Xianfeng secret decree that Ci'an regarded as life became a torch in the wind.
"No......" Ci'an screamed and rushed forward three steps, but he fainted in front of him in a flash of fire. And this is the closest person next to even Ci'an, it is Qing Sanye.
How dare the third master let the Queen Mother smash on the floor, and hurriedly grabbed the Queen Mother, but it was inevitable that he touched the Queen Mother's chest between his hand, which allowed An Dehai to grab the handle.
"Hahaha...... Fuqing, you are so bold, you dare to touch the Queen Mother... You kid, this is going to punish the Nine Clans...... Everybody saw it, side by side......"
On the roof of Zhongcui Palace, the two eldest disciples of the Old Ancestor were fighting with the Fog Hidden Imp, this madman-like female ninja, holding the ribs in one hand and the burning torch in the other, still shouting frantically in her mouth.
"You men who have no eggs are too sloppy, and there are obviously more people than them, why don't you fight? History is written by the victors, as long as you win......
There are no eunuchs in Japan, so the foggy imp looks down on people like An Dehai in his heart, and now this chaos relies on knives to speak, fight out the winners and losers first, and talk about the negotiation later.
An Dehai was also scolded out of anger, this damn Japanese **, how dare I scold me for being an eggless man, it's too short-exposed, "Grandma's, wealth is in danger, I will be rich and noble...... Kill this group of rebels and save the Queen Mother..."
This guy is so insidious, in the end, they all face each other, and they even spread rumors.
"Kill the rebel...... Save the Queen Mother...... "There are as many as two hundred officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who have been brainwashed by silver and official positions, and a loud roar is really like a muffled thunder on the ground, and the entire Zhongcui Palace is shaken.
"I see who dares to make a mistake... The apprentices escorted ......" The old ancestor rushed in with more than a dozen apprentices against the flow of people, and there was a sound of blades colliding outside the Zhong Cui Palace, mixed with the screams of the wounded.
"Assemble, assemble...... Retreat to the apse ...... "At the critical moment, Ermao and Qing Sanye protected the loyal eunuchs and palace maids around Ci'an and began to retreat.
The strong eunuchs formed a circle on the periphery, and Qing Sanye broke two rosewood chairs, stuffed a chair leg for Ermao, and held one himself, covering everyone's retreat.
And some of those eunuchs were holding chairs, two of them were carrying tables, and even one of them was holding a sputum bucket as a weapon, and they were trembling one by one.
Thanks to Qing Sanye's high martial arts, those fish that slipped through the net from the side of the ancestor were not his opponents at all, and the enemy was often knocked down after three or two moves. But the rebellion of the Shenji Battalion is too much, and even Qing Sanye can't resist it after a while.
At the most critical moment, suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps and the sound of blades unsheathed from the north of the palace, and Zhou Daoying, the great eunuch beside Emperor Tongzhi, actually brought sixty or seventy guards with knives at the emergency moment.
"Spread His Majesty's will, and the pro-military camp came to escort him...... The emperor asked us to protect the queen mother......" Zhou Daoying rushed over with the elite of the pro-military camp like a tiger and wolf, and as soon as the knife was messy, he was entangled with the people of the Shenji battalion, and his shape immediately changed greatly.
"The Queen Mother is well, the Queen Mother is well...... Woo woo, what's wrong with the Queen Mother......" Zhou Daoying saw that Ci'an, who was unconscious, knelt on the ground with weak knees and cried loudly.
