When Cixi fled to Ili, Governor Tao Mo and Admiral Dong Fuxiang announced in Urumqi that Xinjiang would be surrendered to the Chinese Empire, and the Qing army under their command immediately cut off their braids, turned their uniforms upside down, and hung the banner of the Chinese Empire.

When Tie Liang heard the news, he was so angry that he scolded Tao Mo and Dong Fuxiang for betraying the Qing Dynasty ungratefully.

However, the old Cixi did not say a word, but urged Tie Liang to command these hundreds of Qing soldiers to escort her and several Qing royal families to flee to Huiyuan City, the seat of General Yili.

In her heart, she had already expected this moment, and she thought fiercely in her heart: If you don't let the mourning family have a good time, the mourning family will make you have a bad time for the rest of your life!

Cixi already has a very ruthless idea, she estimates that as soon as her idea comes out, the entire sky of China will change color!

Although Tao Mo and Dong Fuxiang announced the change of banners, the people's hearts were unstable, and they needed a lot of strength just to comfort their subordinates, and they were unable to send men and horses to pursue some scattered Qing soldiers who ran back from Gansu.

Chang Gung of the Eight Banners of Manchuria was still loyal to Cixi, and after receiving Cixi, he immediately sealed the news and began to deploy defenses in the direction of Urumqi.

Cixi knew that with only more than 10,000 Qing soldiers in the nine cities of Ili, she would not be able to hold it, so she ordered Zaifeng, who fled with her, to ascend the throne as emperor, and the year name was Xuantong.

Zaifeng, who was only eleven years old, was sent to the dragon chair by the people of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and knelt down to worship and called long live.

Cixi ordered all enthronement ceremonies to be simplified, and the enthronement ceremonies ended in only half an hour. 、

After the enthronement ceremony, Cixi, who was half dead due to the escape, did not bother to discuss with others, and ordered the Ili general Chang Gung to immediately send someone to contact the Oros Empire, saying that her Western Empress Dowager Cixi of the Great Qing Kingdom was in Yili and sent someone to negotiate as soon as possible.

When the news reached Moscow, the seriously ill Tsar Alexander III Alexandrovich (Russian Алекса?ндр III), who was no longer able to deal with such a matter, ordered his crown prince Nicholas II Alexandrovich Romanov (Russian: Николай IIАлександрович) to deal with the matter.

During the thirteen years of the reign of Tsar Alexander III Alexandrovich, the policy of Orosification of alien races was imposed, and according to the economic development plan formulated by Alexander III, Oros began to industrialize at a high rate and on a large scale, during which the economic development of Oros reached a peak, not only militarily, but also economically, becoming the world's leading power.

Because of such a strong foundation of national strength, the twenty-six-year-old Nicholas II was ambitious, and his father Alexander III was already "the emperor of all Russia and the **** monarch, and the king of Poland, the Grand Duke of Finland, etc.", and he also dreamed of adding to himself the titles of "Emperor of China", "Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom" and so on, so as to make the Far East China, Goryeo, and the Japanese Kingdom become his "Yellow Oros".

The rise of the Chinese Empire was like lightning, bombing around the Japanese and tightly blocking the news, so that Oros could not figure out what the situation was in the Japanese for half a year, and Nicholas II was very anxious and always wanted to do something in order to reap some benefits, but he didn't know where to start.

Cixi sent people to send people in Lanzhou to send messages to the European powers asking for help, for some reason, none of these documents were delivered, but after Cixi arrived in Ili, the messages sent were first sent to Moscow by cable, and the written text was sent to the nearest railway station by express horse, and sent to Moscow by rail.

When Nicholas II received a telegram from the Empress Dowager Cixi for help, he was overjoyed and said to the Minister of War Alexei Nikolayevich Kuropatkin: "Thank God, Oros needs an exit from the Pacific ice-free port, and God sent it to us!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how are we going to negotiate with this old woman of the Qing Kingdom, and what is our bottom line?"

"No matter what conditions this old woman proposes, my bottom line is north of the Yellow River!" Nicholas II's brain at this time was already overwhelmed by excitement.

Alexei was a little worried: "Your Highness, although our Siberian Railway has been built for three years, less than a quarter of it has been built and opened to traffic, even if it is built and opened to traffic, it will be difficult for this monorail to meet the huge needs of Siberia, and if we want to start a war with the newly established Chinese Empire, our logistical pressure will be difficult to bear!" ”

"Just some thin and weak yellow-skinned opium ghosts, what's there to be afraid of!" Nicholas II was very contemptuous of this, and in the past few years, at the request of his father, he made a trip around the world, and Nicholas passed through Greece, Egypt, India, the Wa Kingdom and the Chinese mainland, and then returned from Siberia, and was regarded as an Ororos who had a certain understanding of the Chinese people.

Alexei always felt that it was not so fun to start a war with the Chinese Empire: "However, the predecessor of the Chinese Empire, the Huaxia Guild, once defeated the Dutch and the Spaniards, and crossed the entire Pacific Ocean to defeat the Mi people, these are the armies of the white country, not the armies of blacks and yellow-skinned monkeys, and their naval and army combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated!" ”

The young and vigorous Nicholas II was dismissive of this:

"Dear Alexey, you have been overly concerned, it is true that they have defeated three white countries, but you have to see what kind of white countries they are, although the two countries of Holland and Spain had a little glory hundreds of years ago, but now they are outdated countries, and now there is only one breath left, and there will be big problems at any time.

And the rice guys are not to mention, such an upstart will only play mountain warfare with some Native Americans, how can they have any combat effectiveness, it is not a strange thing for these three countries to lose to the yellow-skinned monkeys.

But our Great Oros is different, now the industrial, economic, and military cities are in a rising stage, so why be afraid of those yellow-skinned monkeys?

Now the old lady of the Qing Kingdom has come to the door, and our ambassador in London has received a message from the English Prime Minister that he supports our interests in the Far East. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Why should we be afraid of this and that, if we don't strike first, France, England, and Germany will not let Oros enjoy exclusive benefits if they intervene! ”

Alexei was worried, but he did not dare to overturn the opinion of the crown prince, so he had to say: "Yes, Your Highness!" Where do we meet the old woman of the Qing Kingdom? ”

"Send her, the little emperor who has just ascended the throne, and the group of royal families who follow her to Moscow, and lock them up together, so that they don't have any chance to contact the envoys of the major European powers!"

Alexey was determined to play the role of a sounding board: "Yes! ”

"Also, immediately mobilize our land forces, assemble in the direction of Siberia, and if the railways are not enough, then move on horseback, and if there are not even enough horses, go on foot."

"Yes, Your Highness!" The human microphone is quite loud. (To be continued.) )
