Li Lianying cried, he really wiped his tears all the way back to the Taihe Palace, and knelt on the ground with a pop...... He said that he invited His Majesty Xià to go out of the palace to watch the martial arts, and said that it was a rare big scene......"

"Presumptuous!" Cixi slapped on the arm of the chair, stood up angrily and trembled. And the other important ministers in the hall were also crazy, and scolded Xiao Lotian for being rebellious one by one.

At this moment, a loud military horn suddenly sounded outside the square, as well as the command of the officers to purge the team, and the murderous aura of the Hundred Battles Iron Army rushed in from the outside.

The scolding suddenly stopped, everyone's faces turned pale, and at this time Ci'an sighed lightly, "Let's go, let's also open our eyes, they all say that foreigners are strong, what is the strength?

"Your Majesty, we can't continue like this in the Qing Dynasty, we have to see what the outside world is like?

With the words of the Queen Mother, everyone had nothing to say, after all, the little emperor was only ten years old, and it was the time when curiosity was heavy, and as soon as he heard this, he jumped down from the throne and said, "Okay, good...... I've long wanted to see foreigners fight......"

The emperor ran in front, and the eunuchs and ministers in the back chased after him like an old hen guarding the chicks, "Be careful, don't fall, don't fall......" Then the queen mother of the two palaces also walked out of the main hall.

Standing on the pedestal of the condescending Taihe Palace, the more than 1,000 new army formations on the square can be seen very clearly, the neat and uniform tofu blocks are straight lines horizontally and vertically, and the soldiers with dust and smoke on their faces are wounded and muddy in their uniforms, but the murderous aura brought out from the battlefield is incomparable to those guards.

Xiao Lotian was already sitting on the steps of the second-floor pedestal at this time, turned around and smiled at Emperor Tongzhi, revealing eight snow-white teeth, he beckoned and patted the steps beside him, meaning to let Emperor Tongzhi also sit over and watch together.

This was the first time the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor saw Xiao Letian's true face, and they had an idea at that time. Why is he so young and so handsome? His heroic aura can't hide his bookish spirit, this is really an all-round talent in civil and military affairs!

A smile can melt the hostility the most, and the ten-year-old Emperor Tongzhi rushed over at a trot without the slightest hesitation, ignoring the obstruction of the ministers behind him.

After the little emperor sat next to Xiao Letian, the tiger-like dragon lord stood behind the prime minister and His Majesty, glared at everyone, and everyone who was frightened involuntarily took three steps back.

"You're Xiao Letian? I always thought you were an old man with a long beard, but I didn't expect you to be very young? Don't you even have a beard?"

"Sue sù, are these soldiers really heavenly soldiers and generals? Are you making the foreign guns on their bodies? And that strange iron frame gun, is it a rapid-fire gun......?"

The children's questions were one after another, and Xiao Letian smiled without saying a word, but took out a lot of food from Long Ye's backpack. Xiao Lotian has a habit of eating snacks, so the guards have some food in their bags for him.

The gummies brought from Europe, milk chocolate, dried pineapple and banana chips from the Ryukyus, as well as fresh and sweet small fish fillets, octopus feet, etc., and finally Xiao Lotian even opened a canned meat and canned fruit made in the United States, which are snacks for the little emperor.

"While eating, while watching, your question will be answered slowly......" When Emperor Tongzhi just wanted to stuff it into his mouth, Li Lianying shouted, "No...... Don't eat it, let the minions be really poisonous!"

Li Lianying rushed over like a mad dog, so fast that he couldn't even stop Long Ye, he threw himself at the feet of the little emperor, grabbed the canned meat and ate it with his hands, and then ate all the snacks, Xiao Letian was disgusted when he saw it.

"I said Majesty...... You eat the saliva of eunuchs every day, it's disgusting......" Xiao Letian retched vigorously.

Emperor Tongzhi was pinching a fish fillet in his hand and sending it to his mouth, which made Xiao Letian suddenly wake up when he said this, "Yes, I have eaten your saliva for many years, you dog minions are really disgusting......"

Emperor Tongzhi jumped up and kicked Li Lianying all the way, Li Lianying didn't even dare to move, knelt there and let the emperor do it.

"What now, all the food has been eaten by you, a loyal eunuch, can you still eat it?" Xiao Letian looked at the little emperor with a smile.

Emperor Tongzhi blinked his eyes and stretched out his hand to point at the American can, "You open me two more of these, these are all sealed with iron sheets, and no one must have poisoned them...... Besides, your army is in front of me, do you need to poison me if you want to kill me?"

"Clever!" Xiao Lotian gave a thumbs up, and then opened two buckets of canned food for Emperor Tongzhi. This time, Li Lianying didn't want to rob the little emperor again, so she kicked the dog slave aside in a few kicks.

At this time, the new army was already ready for the drill, and I don't know which side hall the wooden door was used as a target, and it was erected on the east side of the square, and behind the target was the Tiren Pavilion.

At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the protection of cultural relics, anyway, it is some wood, the Manchu court still doesn't care, even if the new army is broken, no one dares to say anything.

"Rapid-fire drills were conducted in accordance with the shooting drills...... Fire!" With Wang Huaiyuan's order, the soldiers who had been prepared long ago pulled the trigger, and the bullets rained down on the target.

Shooting in a lying position, shooting in a squat, shooting in a standing position...... Including squad cross-cover shooting, all kinds of new army drills are displayed in the same way.

The Forbidden City has never heard such a dense gunshot, and the Tongzhi Emperor and the Empress Dowager's important ministers were all dumbfounded, and they all said that the foreigners' muskets were powerful, but what Xiao Letian showed today was even better than the foreigners.

They didn't know that the best weapon used by the British and French forces that invaded Beijing six years ago was just a front-loading Mini rifle, which was completely inferior to Xiao Letian's rear-loading needle-piercing rifle now.

The fixed ammunition is simple to load, the quality is reliable, the front gun can be loaded with one bullet and the gun can be loaded with three bullets.

The single shooting performance lasted for twenty minutes, followed by the performance of two Gatlings, and when the sudden brass sound sounded, there was an exclamation in front of the Taihe Palace, and even some eunuchs who were weak were frightened and fainted.

"Ancestor, what is this......" People watched as the flashing wooden door was broken by the bullet chain, and even the white marble railing steps behind it were unlucky, and they were beaten into pockmarked faces by bullets, and stone chips flew everywhere.

"What kind of weapon is this? How can we fight this thing on the battlefield? No wonder it loses, no wonder it loses......

Firepower, this is the most important indicator of the modern army, after mankind entered the age of firearms, what it pursued is actually a firepower index.

With the advancement of science and technology, the firepower output of a company in the past is now enough for one Gatling, and when the more advanced Makqin is put into the battlefield, I am afraid it will be the end of ordinary infantry.

Coupled with the fact that various new models of field artillery were put into real combat, war has become a game of firepower competition, and individual heroism no longer works.

It is only now that the Queen Mother and the important ministers have just woken up from a dream, and the power of firearms is really not something that can be experienced by looking at the folds, and no one knows that this thing will be so powerful if they don't see it with their own eyes.

The meat in the mouth of the intelligent Emperor Tongzhi fell, "Oh my God...... If there were hundreds of such weapons, I am afraid that the troops of the Qing Dynasty would not be able to defeat the whole country! It turns out that we lost the Bali Bridge in those years!"

Xiao Letian smiled, this is the real education, a lot of knowledge can never be learned from textbooks. Ignorant and backward people naturally reject advanced things, just like the Manchu royal family, they just listen to others talk about the various miracles of Western technology, and let them personally contact them, none of them want to.

Today, Xiao Lotian made up for these ostriches, and he took Yum's Yu Wei to make an appearance in the Taihe Palace, and mercilessly dragged out the heads of the ostriches hidden in the sand, so that they could see this cruel reality with their own eyes.

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, especially Cixi, is now as white as paper, and regret has filled her heart, if she had known that Xiao Letian had such a powerful force in her hands, she would definitely not send troops to Tanggu stupidly, not even this mutiny.

Xiao Letian didn't have to look back to guess the faces of these important ministers of the royal family, he glanced at Wang Huaiyuan, and then the two Gatlings were withdrawn, and ten soldiers holding fat grenades walked at the front of the line.

After this heavy rain baptism, there is stagnant water everywhere in the Taihedian Square, which is a good opportunity to show the 'heavenly fire', only to listen to a few muffled bangs, the turbid white phosphorus suspension is sprinkled everywhere, and the raging fire instantly rises more than one person high.

"Heavenly Fire! Ancestor, this is really Heavenly Fire...... Xiao Letian is not a person, he is not a person!" The ministers collectively took a step back, everyone was stupid, and they could only rely on superstition in the face of unexplained phenomena.

A brief Taihe Hall martial arts performance ended in the light of the Heavenly Fire Grenade, at that moment the entire Taihe Hall was dead silent, no one dared to speak loudly, this was the first time that the ancient empire directly faced the mysterious Western scientific and technological power.

Yes, although there were two opium wars, but the ruler did not see how Western technology was ruthless, when the monk king of Baliqiao was defeated, Xianfeng had fled to Chengde with his ministers, only a small number of courtiers such as Yi saw with their own eyes how powerful Western weapons were.

After the war, these important ministers who had seen the world naturally became Westernists, and those important ministers of the imperial family who had never seen the world still wanted to return to the old days, so they gave Yi the nickname Devil Six, which shows the hostility of this group of Manchus to Western learning.

If you don't see, don't listen and don't want to, just pretend that this kind of thing doesn't exist, ostrich thought runs through the entire late Qing Dynasty, if there is no Xiao Letian, I am afraid they will still have to continue to walk according to the inertia of tradition, until the whole nation is dragged into the abyss.

"Your Majesty, this is your palace, don't you take me everywhere to see it? Such a magnificent three halls, the foreign minister has never seen it......"
