In the past two days, Zhengyangmen Railway Station has been extraordinarily lively. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Go to Zhengyangmen, see the steamer car, see the Yangxuan army!"

At present, the market is busy, and after tea and dinner, this is the hottest topic.

Beijing-Tianjin Railway Beijing Terminus, located in the inner city of the nine gates of the south gate - Zhengyang Gate, the railroad tracks parallel to the south city wall of the inner city of Beijing, facing each other, no need to climb the city tower and the city wall, Beijing people can see, the distant sky, thick smoke billowing, and then, the long steamer car, appeared on the horizon, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, all the way to the roar.

Column after column, endlessly.

It is not the first time that Beijingers have seen a steamer car, but the previous steamer cars are all "trial runs", and only a column can be seen every three or five times, and sometimes, there is only a bare steamer head, although it is generally swallowing clouds and spitting fog, generally whistling all the way, but after all, it is not as magnificent as dragging a long body.

It's the first time I've seen such a dense number of trains.

Some people say that the "trial operation" has ended, and this is the official start of the "operation".

However, I haven't heard of anyone who has ever ridden a steamer, and I don't know where to buy a "train ticket"?

There is that bold and good thing, I ran to Zhengyangmen Railway Station to ask, and got a very polite reply: I'm sorry, we are still in trial operation, this, before the official operation, there will be an announcement, brother don't worry.

That, so many steamers—

The "staff" smiled: Dude see it himself.

Then see for yourself -

Hey, what are the things that come out of the car...... Soldier?

They are all wearing blue military uniforms - they are all Xuan Army!

And, hey, so many ...... Foreign soldiers?

Some are blonde, some are ...... Ouch, it's pitch black!

The hair is black, the eyes are black, the face is black, and the hands are black...... Except for the two whites of the eyes and a mouthful of big white teeth, the whole body is black!

It's not that Beijingers have never seen foreigners, but such black foreigners are rare.

Some people were surprised, and some people expressed disdain: "Look at your appearance that has never seen the world, this is called 'Kunlun Nu' - our China, when the Tang Dynasty, all countries came to the court, such black foreigners are all over the street!" ”

So some people sighed: "Right now, we in China, 'all countries come to the court', we don't dare to say it, but six or seven years ago, when foreigners entered Beijing, it was all the way to burn and loot, and now - one by one, whether white or black, rules and regulations, driven by me!" It's really ...... It's a different world! ”

"Dude is right!"

"Brother" arched his hand weakly, "This is all Prince Xuan's efforts to help the crisis and rebuild the world!" ”

……

"Hey, before, I also knew that there were foreign soldiers in the Xuan army, but I didn't think about it so much! It's not one, two, three, five, it's one team, one team! The white soldiers are one team at a time, and the black soldiers are also one team at a time. ”

"Yes! I see, there are more black soldiers than white soldiers! ”

"Hey, you say, this time, why did you send so many foreign soldiers over?"

"Well, uh, who knows......"

At this time, someone next to him spoke, "Well, I know a little bit about this." ”

"Oh, please?"

"You say, what did the Xuan army transfer troops from Tianjin to Beijing this time?"

"Needless to say? The new monarch is about to ascend the throne, and the transfer of troops into the guard at this time is to maintain law and order on the ground in Gyeonggi - Xuan Jun himself, it seems that he said the same thing, right? ”

"'The new monarch is about to ascend the throne' is true, and the reason for the transfer of troops to guard is that 'the new monarch is about to ascend the throne' - this is also true. However, to say 'to maintain law and order on the ground in Gyeonggi' is nonsense! The Xuan Army in Beijing, the Guards Regiment of Youtu Junmen and the Fengtai Battalion of Wu Junmen still 'maintained' the 'security on the ground in Gyeonggi'? - When did 'Gyeonggi ground security' deteriorate to this point? Even tens of thousands of Xuan troops can't be 'maintained', so they have to adjust the entire division of troops from Tianjin? ”

"This ......"

"Besides, there are a lot of Jingying, these masters, it's not good to fight, but it's always okay to catch a thief and thief, right?"

"Yes! So, dude's opinion is—"

"To put it bluntly: the Xuan army entered the guard, but it was just to prevent another Shenji battalion from coming out!"

"Huh? This ......"

"Otherwise, why send so many foreign soldiers?"

"What does this have to do with whether or not to send foreign soldiers?"

"I say two words, and you'll understand."

"What two words?"

"'Origin'."

"'Origin'? Belch...... Still don't understand. ”

"What do you think, what is Xuan Jun's old background? Seongnam Horse Team! What is the Seongnam Horse Team? That's the Yamen of the Infantry Army! What is the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army? That's also Jingying! If there is really another Shenji battalion, if you really want the red knife to enter and the white knife to come out, everyone is in the Beijing camp, isn't it a little difficult to get started? ”

"This ......"

"The foreign soldiers are different—who knows you! When an order is given, it will naturally point to where to fight, let whoever you kill will be killed, and your brows will not frown! ”

"I ...... Exercise! Hearing you say this, the cold hairs on my back stand up! ”

"Thunderbolt means, bodhisattva heart! If the knife is raised high, it may not really be cut down! It frightened some people's strange thoughts, but they were at peace with each other! ”

……

"What 'origin' is not 'origin', don't listen to people's nonsense - do you know who led the team of the Xuan army that entered Beijing this time?"

"Who?"

"Ixan, Lord Ija! The Xuan army that entered Beijing this time was the 'third division' led by Lord Yijue! Lord Yi is not only the old foundation of the Chengnan horse team, but also a serious banner man - if you want to say 'origin', which one has won him? ”

"This, too! That, so many foreign soldiers......"

"Most of the foreign soldiers of the Xuan Army are organized in the Third Division - it's a coincidence!"

"In other words, there is nothing at all at the 'top'...... Uh, 'Huayi'? ”

"Hey, your 'Huayi Zhizhi' is interesting-yes, that's the case, there is no intention of using foreign soldiers to scare people at all! It is true that Prince Xuan brought out of Beijing at the beginning was all from Beijing, but after so many years, how many of these hundreds of people are left? Most of the soldiers of the Xuan Army were from the south, first from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then from the Chinese workers - where did the Chinese workers come from? Fujian! Guangdong! If you really make a move, do you expect them to be polite to these uncles in Jingying? Do you need to use foreign soldiers to scare people? ”

"Yes, yes!"

……

"No, no! There's such a thing as a 'origin' here! - At the beginning, Prince Xuan brought out of Beijing, but there were only a few hundred people, and today, among the soldiers in the Xuan army, there is no one left in this group, this is true-but, hey, not all of them are dead, yes-as long as they don't die, they will all become officials! ”

"Huh? yes......"

"Also, do you know who Lord Yi's wife is?"

"I don't know...... Which one? ”

"The niece and granddaughter of the Ministry of Works, Tuntian Qing Shiro, and Naka Qinghai."

Niece-in-law? This relationship is far enough, huh? Also, Qinghai, who is this?

"Uh, I'm a little confused...... Qinghai Hai, who is this? The ...... of the Ministry of Industry Tuntian Qing Officials Division Lang Zhong, uh, isn't it an important person? ”

"Qinghai himself is really insignificant, but he gave birth to an amazing daughter."

"Who?"

"Concubine Ligui."

"Huh? Yes! Oh my God......"

"You say, do you pay attention to the 'origin' of transferring this Xuan army into the guard?"

……

There is a lot of discussion in the market, because of the hot wheel; At this time, the words in the West Warm Pavilion of the Forbidden City's Heart Cultivation Hall were also placed on the steamer car.

"Eat some coal, drink some water," Ci'an sighed, "you don't have to pull a mule, you can run on your own—this steamer is really ...... Amazing! ”

After a pause, he smiled, "The thought of taking this car makes me feel a little ...... I'm afraid! ”

"Back to the Queen Mother," Guan Zhuofan said, "the steamer runs very steadily, more steadily than the carriage on the bluestone road." The carriage is also very spacious, people stand straight, head to the top of the carriage, and there are many open spaces - let alone running in it, even a few somersaults are no problem. ”

After a pause, "From Beijing to Tianjin, the Queen Mother's Luan drive is no slower than the special train transporting troops, and it is more stable, but no matter how slow it is, it will arrive in Tianjin in an hour and a half." This time, you don't have to be in the past, the road is very easy, and the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry. ”

Ci'an was stunned for a while, and said: "Beijing to Tianjin, with Beijing to Rehe, which is farther?" ”

Guan Zhuofan knew what Ci'an meant, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, it is naturally far away from Rehe. However, in the future, Rehe will also have to be opened to the train, when the time comes, the Queen Mother will patrol Rehe, and start driving after breakfast, no matter what, she will be able to pass dinner in the Rehe Palace. ”

"Ah......h

Ci'an sighed softly, thought for a while, and said, "I remember that Xin Younian returned to Luan from Rehe, back and forth, on the road...... It's been seven days! ”

sighed, "Alas, it's really ...... 'changed the world'." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled to himself, "I'm a useless person, I'm going to take a steamer, and my heart is up and down, and I change 'her', maybe how elated I am!" ”

The "she" in Ci'an's mouth, Guan Zhuofan naturally knows who he refers to.

Ci'an is right, if Cixi takes a steamer for the first time, she must be elated - Guan Zhuofan remembered that the Tianjin military parade and the "Champion" went to sea, from beginning to end, Cixi actually did not react to seasickness at all, and the artillery fire was in the sky, but she became more and more excited.

Sea ships are not as good as trains, and when I went to the United States, in the first few days, Guan Zhuofan himself was dizzy.

Such a woman...... Alas!

However, Guan Zhuofan also knew that Ci'an's anxiety was not only because of the steamer car, but also because after the car arrived at the station, he had to face Cixi and face her inevitable violent reaction.

This "cowardice", Ci'an has it, why doesn't Guan Zhuofan have it?

It's just that this layer doesn't have to be broken.

"Minister's request," Guan Zhuofan said, "there are some important documents to bring." ”

"Okay—what files?"

"The case of Emperor Mu Zongyi, the record of Emperor Mu Zongyi's ascension, the record of the meeting of relatives and dignitaries at the military aircraft office, the record of the 'Wang Ministers' meeting in the cabinet hall, the secret folds of Ronglu, Encheng, and Wen Heng, as well as the twists and turns of Prince Gong's and the clan's 'persuasion'."

"Ah...... It's ......"

"Plus, maybe one more person with you."

"Who?"

"Seven Blessings."
