This seemed to touch the heart of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and she looked at Rong Lu below. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info said thoughtfully: "The railway must not be demolished indiscriminately, you have to send troops to protect it." ”

"Yes!" Rong Lu replied, "The minions have already sent Nie Shicheng to send teams to protect Lubao and Jinbao, and at the same time transferred Dong Fuxiang's Gan army to protect the Summer Palace. However, the minions think that this matter cannot be blindly guaranteed, and Lafayette must come up with an idea as soon as possible. ”

"What idea do you want the mourners to take, the Boxers 'help clear and destroy the foreigners', and the people are relying on the foreigners to do evil, what do you say should be done with the Boxers?"

This is obviously biased in favor of the Boxers, but Rong Lu has no choice. What to do? Do you just let the Boxers mess around?

He suddenly remembered something, so he kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Cixi on the throne and said:

"The slave has one thing, and he has to go back to Lafayette. Yizhou used to be the burial place of the ancestors, and if the Boxers harassed them, the slave would be a capital crime. In order to protect the mausoleum, the slave had to ask Lafayette for advice. ”

Empress Dowager Cixi's tone softened obviously, "Then punish and punish those Boxers who make trouble, but I'm afraid there are only a few people who want to make trouble." ”

is still favoring the Boxers. Rong Lu had no choice but to say: "Since it has to be done, the slave must have a will to do it." ”

"Of course, there must be a will, you go down to discuss with Gangyi first, and draw up a bottom!"

When Rong Lu arrived at the military plane, Gangyi was talking there, and when he saw Rong Lu walking in, he immediately stopped talking, and the others also greeted Rong Lu. After Rong Lu finished answering the salute, he conveyed the will of the Queen Mother, and for this reason, Gangyi and Rong Lu argued again.

The Boxers were very fierce in the capital, and under the banner of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreigners," they were protected by Gangyi, Duanwang and others, and they were like fish in water, and they also made a scene in Beijing. They burned churches, killed foreigners, and killed parishioners, which made King Duan very happy.

King Duan himself gradually became obsessed with the Boxer Rebellion, so he also set up an altar in his home to engage in the Rebellion and the Rebellion.

And he specially invited a senior brother at home to teach him to practice the spells of the Boxers. Not only King Duan, but also several other kings, such as King Zhuang and Zai Run, will also set up altars at home to practice righteousness and divine arts.

The Empress Dowager Cixi also knew in her heart that it was not a matter for the Boxers to go on like this, if the suppression should be timely, if it was laissez-faire, it would be a great pleasure, and she could use the people's will to fight with the foreigners.

This is what she wants to see, she wants to use the Boxers to take revenge and snow the shame in her heart. But she had to take into account the consequences, and the opinions of the governors had to take into account.

Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, had already sent a telegram expressing his opposition to a war with foreigners, and Li Hongzhang, the governor of Liangguang, had also expressed caution. Only Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, did not express his opinion clearly, and two of the three important ministers opposed the war, which the Empress Dowager Cixi had to consider.

As for the consequences, this is the main problem that plagued the Empress Dowager Cixi. To be honest, if you are willing to go to war, you can't be bullied casually by letting foreigners see the Qing Dynasty, but the Opium War and the First Sino-Japanese War. What are the consequences? Indemnity for land cession.

If there is really a war this time, once it fails, in addition to the land cession and compensation, will the Empress Dowager Cixi return to power? That's what she cares about.

The Boxers burned churches and killed foreigners, King Duan saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, he knew that if this continued, the war would definitely start.

Because the Empress Dowager Cixi ordered him to manage the prime minister's yamen, Duan Wang was at home on this day to gather King Zhuang, his brother Zailan and others to discuss the list of prime ministers. As soon as they saw Qixiu coming, they naturally invited him to talk about his thoughts.

Qixiu didn't know anything about foreign affairs, so he naturally didn't have any specific opinions, and only put forward two people, one was Na Tong, who was currently a cabinet bachelor, because of his father, his father was killed in the Xianfeng Wuwu Kechang case, and the case was later rehabilitated.

Therefore, Na Tong is very well taken care of by the banner people, and he himself is also quite capable. One is Lang Boxing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works. Everyone agreed.

However, the Prime Minister must be elected, and who will be elected?

"I think let Qixiu be the prime minister." King Duan proposed, and everyone agreed.

Because this is a good idea, only Rong Lu is the military aircraft and the prime minister, this is their enemy, if Qixiu is also the prime minister, then he can contain Rong Lu like Rong Lu.

Soon after the reshuffle of the premier's yamen, the Japanese came to protest against Dong Fuxiang's killing of the Japanese envoy Sugiyama Bin, who was a secretary of the Japanese embassy and was ordered to go out of Beijing to receive foreign soldiers trapped in Yangcun.

Qixiu knows how to do foreign affairs, when the Japanese minister protested, he even said that he killed well! Well done! And let the minister point out the murderer, and he will punish him. When the Japanese minister heard this, he was very angry, but he had no choice but to leave.

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. Before the Japanese secretary Sugiyama Bin could come up with a plan, another incident happened, and the German minister Klinder was killed.

Clint had been to China more than a decade earlier, but was only a third-class secretary in China at the time. When he came last year, he was already a minister, and he was made a baron by the Kaiser, and his status in the legation was very high.

Because this person has been in China for a long time, has a cheerful personality, and dares to do things, he is invisibly regarded as the leader in Dongjiaomin Lane, and most of the negotiations about the Boxers are listened to his opinions.

He originally went to the Prime Minister's Yamen to protest against the Boxers, but he didn't want someone to run to the sedan chair as soon as he left Dongjiaomin Lane, beat Clint to death, and scared away the entourage and the sedan chair driver.

This time it is a bad thing for Rong Lu, and it makes King Duan happy, it seems that this battle is going to start.

The Boxers burned the church almost to the ground in the capital, and the Xishiku Church could not be attacked for a long time, and the embassy did not dare to attack it, so what did the Boxers do next? Some of the elder brothers heard that there were some shops opened by foreigners in the front door, so they decided to go to the front door to show their prestige.

The Qianmen area is the most prosperous area in the capital, where many foreigners used to open Western pharmacies or something, but because of the fierce Boxers in the capital, the foreigners who ran the shops fled to the embassy area.

There are some of the remaining fellows who continue to operate here, and they are greedy for a lot of silver dollars, so they have not left for a long time.

Led by a senior brother, a group of Boxers marched towards the front gate with their heads held high, they tried their best not to squint, but they still couldn't resist the temptation of the prosperous scene, and from time to time they turned their heads to look at or squint their eyes to see the novelty on both sides.

The senior brother led everyone from the east to the west at the front door, they were almost finished, and they hadn't seen anything with foreign devils or Ermaozi, so the senior brother was a little anxious, but he couldn't go back empty-handed! (To be continued.) )
