Section 64 The wind and rain turn yellow

Huailai County, a typical northern county, the wild grass is swaying on the city, but it is more spiritual than the flag that cannot see the color at the head of the city, swaying against the cold wind of Shuobei. In the back hall of the county government, Wu Yong, who was dressed in an official uniform, paced back and forth, at this time Huailai was surrounded by the Boxers, although the senior brother of the boxers did not enter the city, but the boxers wearing turbans and swaggering in and out of the city gate were already accustomed to it, and with the iron ruler waist knife in the hands of dozens of black and thin officials, they probably couldn't even save the face of the Qing Dynasty. The news brought back by the master made Wu Yong very sad, the capital had fallen three days ago, the Queen Mother and Emperor Guangxu had disappeared, and the capital was full of foreign soldiers killing boxers, killing officers and soldiers, and even killing princely officials, full of chaos and smoke everywhere, could it be that the 200-year-old Qing Dynasty had come to an end. The master stood aside, neither of them had anything to do, and the three classes of officials sent out did not even turn back, and the situation outside the city wall was now a black eye, fortunately, the families of the two were in Wuxing, Zhejiang, and probably would not be affected.

He Laoba led people to observe the situation at the gate of the city for a long time, and he roughly counted it. After changing the clothes of the boxers, he took advantage of the dawn to sneak into Huailai County, and it was really not difficult to find the county office, but there were boxers everywhere who set up altars on the streets, and the idlers who hung their arms applauded from time to time, as if they were watching juggling on the flyover. He Laoba thought that he was also superstitious about cults and did a lot of ridiculous things back then, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, so that Xiao Maozi who was following him was a little confused, but Xiao Maozi's vision was also high, and he couldn't look down on these postures of pretending to be gods and ghosts. At night, the gate of the county seat was closed, and the unchanged "dry weather, be careful of the candle" had sounded three times. When he saw the son, He Laoba and a few good hands of the teaching team easily turned into the county office, and when a stick of incense was applied, Xiao Maozi, who was outside the office, saw He Laoba who came out of the wall, and was very surprised, this wet work was done so cleanly, and he didn't even hear a cat meow. He Laoba, who was carrying the package, approached him and asked, "Uncle, is it done?" ”

"Nonsense, don't look at who makes the move, just this county government, next time you will let you in, I didn't even see a Goshha, just two scholars and a few maids, and sent people on the road. When the day dawns, a few of you Hulong will be bigger, recruit more people to go in, and it's better to light a fire or something. ”

"Don't mind, uncle, I heard that the captain has let me live here in the past few days, and the small county town with a big fart is the big county government, why do you burn us." In the past dozens of days, I have lived in a tent and fed mosquitoes, and I have lost a few good skins on my body. ”

"Fuck off, what do you know, what do you know about burning the main hall or something, is it like a boxer making trouble, just keep the backyard and don't burn it. By the way, I remember that even the church was ordered. ”

"Church? There's no one left, so what's the point. ”

"If you want to order, you will order, less here, if you don't burn the church, you will be a pig like you, and those who don't bring a handle will be ruined when they see the clues."

"Okay, okay, I can't do it myself. Burn and warm. Hey, by the way, uncle, anyway, I'll enter the county office early tomorrow morning, why don't you climb over the wall and come out of the back door? ”

He Laoba was dumbfounded and looked at Xiao Maozi shaking his head with his hands behind his back, as if the expression of the captain after the training summary, and what was even more annoying was that he even shook his fingers while muttering "nonono". He Laoba thought he was stupid, and what was even more stupid was that Xiao Maozi pointed it out, Xiao Maozi knew that his ass was going to suffer, and sure enough, He Laoba met his imagination, so Xiao Maozi played a butt drift on the bluestone road, He Laoba said very hangingly, "Lao Tzu is willing, don't take the usual road, kid, you care." "Leave the little hairy man who wants to cry without tears and go to the shed to make up for sleep.

The script of the next day is like that staged in other counties around the capital in the past few months, a few bold boxers and the guards first argued, and then pushed and shoved, a stick and machete, chopped the poor and saw the blood, so everyone has nothing to fear, in fact, killing officials and rebelling is very untechnical, as long as someone makes a move, put down the official errand who usually has five people and six people and is like no one, everyone finds that the order that is usually high above is like a piece of paper and breaks it, So this kind of gap brought about the outbreak after depression, and the feeling of easily stepping on the head of the official master and the joy of unscrupulous robbery was enough to make the old farmer who had bent down and bowed his head all his life become a bloodthirsty madman. When I accompanied Luan to the gate of the city, what Cixi and Emperor Guangxu saw was not the loess mat road that was splashing the streets with clean water, not the officials and gentry kneeling on both sides of the official road, and not the brave and courageous army of the king of Qin, but a chaotic city where the people attacked and harassed, looted in the streets, and set fire everywhere, and it was difficult for officers and soldiers to find. Mr. Li looked at me with a blank look, and I thought his eyes were in the sand. Come on, it seems that Lao Tzu's team should start work again.

Riding on my horse, I struck the saddle with my whip, and several of the accompanying detachment leaders waited for my order. "A detachment opened the way in front of the road, quickly quelled the riots, and ensured the safety of the road to the county office. The second detachment accompanied the escort, and in case of chaos and bandits, they would be killed. The three detachments occupied the city pass, controlled the four gates, and paid attention to the collection of grain and grass supplies. Xiao Mingfeng, Wei Keren, and Du Zicheng led their respective teams. Our brigade moved slowly, not stopping at all. A team lined up in a search formation, and several squads in the first two and one behind one advanced in a V-shape, but Xiao Mingfeng rode on a horse and hung a saber and a telescope, and the team in front bent down and raised their guns to look around. The two detachments were divided into three parts, protecting the team of more than a dozen carts on the left and right and behind, and the three detachments rushed to the city to arrange sentry posts, and just arrived at the city gate, they saw the yellow dragon flag and the red flag of the insurance regiment planted on the city, and at the gate of the city gate, four soldiers tied their leggings, held a gun in their right hand, and stroked their chest with their left hand, listing the guard of honor.

Emperor Guangxu has recovered at this time, but he misses Concubine Zhen and has no reaction to the surrounding affairs, just like an old monk in peace. However, Concubine Jin covered her mouth with a handkerchief, dodging the dust kicked up by the soldiers, and muttered in her mouth, "Bahu, there are really no rules, Lafayette, these Qiu Ba didn't say hello when they saw you, but it's really"

"Hmm" With a soft snort, Concubine Jin and several palace people around her closed their mouths and lowered their heads, not daring to speak. Lafayette's majesty is not what they dare to brush the tiger's whiskers.

"These soldiers are brave, but they haven't taught the rules yet, Lafayette, you see" Manager Li naturally spoke for me.

"That's it, the Qing Dynasty has all arrived at this step, what's the use of talking about those clichΓ©s. The generals should be a little arrogant, otherwise how to defeat Mao Zi, Zeng Wenzhenggong's Hunan army was more domineering than this, when I followed the first emperor to order troops, that murderous spirit can rush you. The first emperor is also strong and decent, and the shirt can be wrung out of the water after an autumn exercise, but the first emperor just didn't move on the stage, and after decades, he didn't see the arrogant soldiers of the old Hunan army have a big rebellion. This is a good soldier who can calm the chaos, and he accepts your careful eyes, and he doesn't look at his own situation, and he thinks he is in Kunning Palace. Cixi thought to herself, if these Qiu Ba were all in order, I was afraid that they would collapse at the touch of a touch like the Yi army. As for that Wu Chenxuan, it seems that he is a soldier who knows the soldiers, he is a little younger and more vigorous, or if he is a young man, he doesn't know what bad intentions he has behind his back. The orphan and widow of the mourning family are not worried about him. It's good to be a leader, you have no foundation, no assistance, and it's easy to offend people, continue to be young, continue to fly, and then be a lonely minister, just use it to protect your family. As for the rest, it's all somersaults in the palm of your hand anyway, and it's not a big deal.

After entering the city, they settled down for a while, but fortunately, Cixi and Guangxu brought a total of less than fifty beggars and arranged three cross-courtyards to live. Cixi remembered Wu Yong's identity and instructed Chief Manager Li to summon Wu County Commander, but Chief Manager Li replied that the boxers had attacked the county government this morning, and Wu County Ling and Master Wu were humiliated and had committed suicide by hanging themselves. Cixi didn't say anything more, after all, there were no less than 100 dead and injured officials near the Beijing division in the recent boxing bandits, and a Qipin county order is really nothing, not to mention that she didn't even see a reception officer along the way, Cixi also had a lot of complaints about this unreasonable county order, so naturally she would not have such a high evaluation of the Wuyong county order that sent charcoal in the snow as in history. However, in private, Cixi also let the accompanying Wu eunuch secretly take the opportunity to examine the corpse, and when she saw the corpse spots, she deduced that she had been dead for at least four hours, and that the strangulation marks of the rope had not been handed over to the back of her head, and she should have hanged herself, and the scene was chaotic, which was in line with the situation of the boxers and bandits. He Laoba is a veteran bandit for many years, and with my special training, he has long had the awareness of counter-reconnaissance, and it seems that he is a bit invincible to deceive the old eunuch.

Now Cixi can't put down instant noodles, obviously I asked He Laoba to find a restaurant to prepare meals, but Lafayette Yizhi did not name to eat instant noodles, forcing Mr. Li to have no choice, and then begged grandpa to tell grandma from He Fatzi, who was in charge of logistics, transferred a box of instant noodles to go. Do I want to print the portrait of Galeries Lafayette on instant noodles in the future, well, Galeries Lafayette is the spokesperson, at least the domestic sales must be good, but I don't know how to calculate the endorsement fee of Galeries Lafayette? Looking at the manager Li who was happily carrying the box of instant noodles, how about providing the instant noodles that Lafayette needs every day for the rest of his life, I really have the quality of being a profiteer. (Xiao Heizi, Du Zicheng, Lao Wei and others unanimously raised two middle fingers to greet me, do you think you are a good thing, you are a black-hearted profiteer.) Lafayette is full of cows, this profiteer has harmed the mourning family, not to mention the advertising endorsement fee of the mourning family, and let the mourning family eat six meals of instant noodles, this good thing is also tired of eating, if it weren't for the fact that your kid poisoned the mourning family, the mourning family has been eating two and a half boxes of instant noodles, it is still the same taste, damn braised beef noodles, damn little plums don't know how to change the mourning family. Gonggong Li debuted: But there are really no other varieties, He Fatzi let me pick it myself, but this is the one that I have to turn over and over. Our beloved General Manager Li drew circles in the corner of the wall aggrievedly. οΌ‰
