Chapter 609: The Boxer Rebellion

After listening to Cixi's words, Zaiyi's heart was shocked, the secret way is not good, this Lafayette's will, how can he still appease the Boxers? How to drive away foreigners? How do you push your baby son to ascend to the big treasure?

Zai Yi hurriedly knelt down and replied, "Lafayette, the slave has something to say." [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

Cixi looked at Zai Yi and said, "Zai Yi, what's wrong?" ”

Zai Yi replied: "Lafayette, the slave thinks that such a thing, we will transfer Yuxian away, and then compensate for the losses of the British, and punish the perpetrators, the Boxers can't suppress it, the Boxers have openly played the slogan of helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreigners, and it is the arm of the imperial court, if the Boxers are exterminated just because of such a thing, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the loyal and righteous people in the world, the slaves think that it is still to appease them, and now the appetite of foreigners is getting bigger and bigger, and they deceive us too much, we blindly compromise, it is not a good plan, It's better for us to recruit the Boxers and let them fight to the death with the foreigners, we just need to sit on the sidelines and watch the excitement and see what the foreigners do, anyway, it is not our court that loses. ”

Cixi fell into deep thought when she heard Zaiyi's words, and Xu Yongyi on the side said: "Lafayette, this matter, Lord Yuxian also mentioned it in the public, try to appease the main thing, I think we can also give it a try and see if the Boxers can be used for us......"

Cixi said: "Zaiyi, do you think the Boxers are available? ”

Zai Yi hurriedly replied: "Lafayette, now the Boxers have openly played the slogan of helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreigners, those boxers are all simple ordinary people and some martial arts masters, and the leaders of the Boxers are also hot-blooded people with lofty ideals, as long as we comfort them with good words and give them a certain amount of support, they will definitely become our powerful helpers, and, Lafayette, you have also seen that the Western powers have now developed to directly interfere in the affairs of our Prince, as if they are the emperors of the ether, In this development, we ......"

Before Zai Yi could speak, Cixi's face became gloomy, and she shouted: "Presumptuous! ”

Zai Yi also felt that there was some ambiguity in his speech, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped, yes, Lafayette is the queen mother, and the foreigner is the emperor, so special, isn't it a family of two, Zai Yi can't wait to give himself a loud mouth, such a mistake can be made, and he is uncomfortable.

Cixi said angrily: "Zaiyi, pay attention to your dog's mouth when you speak, if you are not careful like this, the mourning family will take off your head!" ”

Zaiyi hurriedly asked for sin: "The slave doesn't choose what to say, capital crime, capital crime, please Lafayette deal with it!" ”

Cixi waved her hand and said, "Forget it, the foreigners are indeed a little too deceitful, and we can't let them go on like this." After all, the matter of Lichu is our family matter, they foreigners can't interfere with it, just do it, pass on the decree, Yuxian returned to Beijing to report on his work, transferred to the governor of Shanxi, the Boxer Rebellion is mainly appeased, at the same time, Feng Guozhang mobilized the Beiyang New Army, put pressure on the Boxers, we not only have to give them sweet dates, but also show it, otherwise they won't just listen to us, foreigners, we should also fight their arrogance! ”

Qixiu was shocked when she heard this, and said hurriedly: "Queen Mother, acting like this, I am afraid that it will arouse the anger of the great powers, especially the British Empire, we can't afford to provoke it!" ”

Cixi replied firmly: "Don't say it, pass on the decree, appease the Boxers, you will be responsible for this matter, summon the leaders of the Boxers in various places, settle the Boxers and the people, give them some funding, don't harass the localities, it is time for them to pay the price for all kinds of incidents caused by foreign religions in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Zaiyi, who got Cixi's will, was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed, with Cixi's will, with the help of the Boxers' power to deal with the powers, then there would be a teacher and a famous!

The crowd dispersed from the court.

Zai Yi hurriedly returned to his mansion, Zai Lan was still waiting in the mansion, and when he saw Zai Yi coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Wang, how are things?" ”

Zai Yi laughed and said, "Brother, it's done, it's done!" I have successfully persuaded Lafayette, and he also allowed us to appease the Boxers, with the help of the power of the Boxers, to deal with the powers, as long as we drive the powers away, then Pu Jun ascended the throne, there will be no obstacles, just relying on Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kun and a few other old guys, absolutely unable to stop our strength! ”

Zai Lan said with a smile: "Brother Wang, it is best to involve Prince Qing in this matter, he has always been dissatisfied with Westerners, just so we can win it over, he has always had prestige in the court, and can make us rely on a lot." ”

Zai Yi nodded and said: "Brother, I will personally contact Prince Qing, you quickly take a few officials with close trust, and immediately rush to various places to appease the Boxers, organize the Boxers to demolish foreign churches, kill foreigners, and give rewards, our brothers are going to do a big job this time!" ”

Zai Yi, who received Cixi's clear will, no longer had any worries, and personally went out to persuade Prince Qing Zaixun to unanimously go to the outside world, and then rushed to Shandong in person, while Zai Lan went to Baoding and began to appease the Boxers.

The leaders of the Boxers had long hoped that their slogan of helping Qing Qing and extinguishing the foreign country would be recognized by the imperial court, and they were naturally overjoyed when they saw the appeasement of the imperial court.

After many consultations, the three major leaders of the Boxer Rebellion, Yan Shuqin, Zhao Sanduo, and Zhu Honglan, were all appointed by the imperial court as the commander-in-chief of the Boxer Rebellion in Shandong, and the leaders of the altar lords in various places were also appointed as guerrilla generals.

After two months, the further integration of the Boxers broke out with even more amazing destructive power, after all, although these people had a certain organization, they were still just a group of displaced people, without any discipline at all, and they wantonly destroyed churches, burned and killed parishioners and priests, and at the same time brought disasters to the local people.

But at this time, Zai Yi had already fallen into madness, and the crazy Zai Yi even directly ordered to recruit some of the boxers who were cruising in Zhili to the capital to enhance their strength. What's even worse is that the Boxers have now received the permission and support of the imperial court, and many ordinary people have begun to join the Boxers. In January, a group of boxers of the Boxers mixed with a lot of Dong Fuxiang's Gan army directly attacked Dongjiaomin Lane, three diplomats of the great powers were beaten to death by the boxers, and at the same time, several foreign priests and dozens of religious people were beaten to serious injuries.
