Empress Dowager Cixi thinks that foreigners love to dance, men and women are too casual, which is different from the traditional Chinese view of women, Empress Dowager Cixi often said in front of Li Lianying that it is impossible for a man to touch a woman's waist without thinking about it, even if a girl is pure, as long as she dances, she will become prodigal.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager Cixi thought that foreigners were too unfilial, and they left their parents at the age of seventeen or eighteen, while China requires people to honor their parents all their lives, which is part of the Empress Dowager Cixi's hatred.

When she chatted with Li Lianying and the palace maids around her, she would often talk about these things.

Li Lianying will not forget what the Empress Dowager Cixi said when she came back after the British and French marched into Beijing to burn down the Old Summer Palace, and she will not forget what the Empress Dowager Cixi said to him after the failure to change the emperor, which was a kind of thing that was said when she hated it at the extreme: "The mourning family always has to find an opportunity to take revenge." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi had long hoped to use the Boxers to take revenge, but she couldn't be firm, on the one hand, because she didn't quite believe in the myth that the Boxers were heavenly soldiers and generals, and on the other hand, Rong Lu, who she relied on as her confidant, did not say anything affirmative.

Li Lianying thought to herself, why don't she help Lafayette strengthen her confidence? Of course, before making this decision, Li Lianying had made a comprehensive observation, and he understood that the Boxer Rebellion was expanding.

He knew that the Boxers were a very strong force, and if they sent troops to exterminate them, they would inevitably lead to a civil war, and it might take a long time, just like the Hongyang Rebellion during the reign of the Emperor.

If troops are sent to appease them, the Boxers are accepted as regimental exercises, and they are allowed to truly "help clear and destroy the foreigners" and let them fight the foreigners, then one of the foreigners and the Boxers will definitely be wiped out.

If the Boxers won, it would be even better, and the foreigners could be driven out, and if the Boxers lost, it would also make the imperial court use less money, so wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

Li Lianying has thought about these ideas many times, and she wanted to tell the Empress Dowager Cixi that she didn't want to, but the Empress Dowager Cixi took the initiative to ask, so Li Lianying hurriedly took the opportunity to express her meaning.

"Lafayette, the minions think that the Boxers are now powerful, why not develop them and organize them to fight with the foreigners, so as to wash the hatred in Lafayette's heart.

The minions thought that if the Boxers were encircled and suppressed, they would definitely lead to the second flood disaster, and if the Boxers were allowed to go to war with the foreigners, they would be able to reap the profits and avoid the disaster of the flood and poplar. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi understood the meaning of reaping the benefits as soon as she heard it, and she couldn't help but agree with Li Lianying's analysis, thinking that her analysis was very good.

"Then let's do it! dismissed Yang Futong from his post, and at the same time transferred the officials of the Zhili Governor's Mansion to be neutralized, and this matter will be handled by Gangyi, right? ”

Lafayette supported the Boxers, and Li Lianying immediately told Gangyi the news, and Gangyi was of course very happy, because he had been praising the Boxers in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi for this purpose.

After Zhang Decheng killed Yang Futong, the imperial court did not punish the Boxers who killed Yang Futong. Since then, Zhang Decheng's reputation has risen dramatically.

For a time, tens of thousands of people entered the first altar, and Zhang Decheng was also elected as the leader in the Boxers. Zhang Decheng listened to Li Laizhong's advice and moved the first altar to Tianjin.

For a time, the Tianjin Boxers were full of roads, and the iron factories were all over Tianjin, and the sound of striking iron and making knives was endless.

Naturally, Zhang Decheng's spell was blown to the ground!

The Boxer Rebellion in Zhuozhou suddenly increased several times, and the Boxer Rebellion in Zhili developed even more rapidly, from tens of thousands to more than 100,000 people.

Li Laizhong looked at this good situation and was quite happy in his heart, and he found Zhang Decheng and Cao Futian.

Cao Futian was also one of the leaders of the Boxer Rebellion in Tianjin at that time, but he was not the same as Zhang Decheng's fame, he was originally famous, and later after opening the altar in Tianjin, he came to admire his name and flocked to it, although its power is not as good as the first altar in the world, but it is also a big landscape in Tianjin, and it is the second largest leader in addition to Zhang Decheng.

"We have to develop towards the capital, and it is best to let the Queen Mother take a look at our divine might." Li Laizhong said to the two.

Zhang and Cao nodded yes, but how can they enter Beijing? This is the question that Zhang and Cao want to ask.

"Don't worry, we'll have a way to do it." Li Laizhong seemed to have guessed the thoughts of the two, and hurriedly said, "Lao Zhang, you accompany me to the capital to find a friend this afternoon." ”

Zhang Decheng was really happy to accompany Li Laizhong to the capital in the afternoon. Li Laizhong pulled Zhang Decheng to the palace, Zhang Decheng looked quite imposing, and the guards at the door were also quite majestic, and then looked up and saw a few big words written on it: Duan Wangfu.

Zhang Decheng couldn't help but be surprised: how did this Li Laizhong hook up with Duanwang.

The doorman stopped the two of them, naturally, Li and Zhang were not dressed in Boxer costumes. Li Laizhong generously handed over the post and said in an almost commanding tone: "Find me Second Master Teng." ”

The soldiers at the door immediately became angry, and said respectfully to Zhang and Li: "Wait a minute, the younger one will go and report to the two adults." ”

This Teng Er Ye is a popular person in front of Duan Wangye, no one in Duanwang's Mansion knows, this person is the most advocating that the Boxers should be used, and it is precisely because of his lobbying that Duan Wang often praises the Boxers in front of Lafayette.

However, King Duan did this for his purpose, he hated foreigners, he thought that foreigners ruined his dream of the emperor, he thought that as long as the foreigners were driven away, the emperor would naturally be his son, so as soon as the Boxers came out, he was very concerned.

Gradually, he felt that the Boxers could help him achieve his great cause, so he strongly supported the Boxers. Teng Er guessed the meaning of King Duan, so he advocated the spell of the Boxer Rebellion in front of King Duan, and naturally he was very valued by King Duan.

"Brother Li, why didn't you inform me earlier!" Just as the two of them were waiting there a little impatiently, a burly man in his forties came out and greeted him.

Li Laizhong greeted him for a while, and introduced Zhang Decheng to him, Teng Er hurriedly said: "I have admired the name for a long time, your magic has been circulating in Beijing for a long time, and I admire it very much in my heart, I don't want to meet today, admire!" Admire! ”

When Zhang Decheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel fluttering, but after all, he still said some polite words very politely.

"Our prince also admires your magic skills, and he has asked me to inquire about you many times, hoping to be your apprentice! I'll take you to see the prince later. Teng Er said in a tone of adoration.

Zhang and Li were modest for a while, and Teng Er led them to the living room, where Li Laizhong asked Teng Ge what the palace thought of the Boxers.

"Galeries Lafayette is now supporting us! This is all because of the fact that Mr. Li is secretly working hard for us, and we have Mr. Li, so we are not afraid that Lafayette will not follow us. (To be continued.) )
