Chapter 627: The Boxer Rebellion

Time flies. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]。 The update is so fast.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival has passed, and the time has gradually entered the end of April, and now the political situation in the customs is even more chaotic.

With the support of Zai Yi and others behind them, the Boxers tossed more fiercely.

Now the Boxers are not only boiling in Shandong, but also fierce in Zhili, and now in Baoding, Langfang, and Cangzhou, the boxers of the Boxers are tossing even more powerfully, whether it is the boxers, and there are many soldiers who have joined the organization of the Boxers, and a small number of boxers of the Boxers have even obtained some weapons and replaced them with rifles imported from the Hanyang Iron Works and even from the West.

The bold Zai Yi even directly ordered tens of thousands of boxers to enter the city of Beijing, and now not only Dongjiaomin Lane has been impacted, but also the official residences of important officials in Beijing have also begun to receive the impact of boxers. The official residences of important ministers such as Sun Jianai, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Tong, a scholar of the university, were even stormed into the mansion by the boxers of the Boxers, and a considerable part of the property in the mansion was swept away by the boxers.

Sun Jianai and Xu Tong directly found Cixi, and in Cining Palace, the two old ministers began to cry about their misfortunes with snot and tears.

At this time, Cixi also began to feel uneasy, these Boxers not only wiped out the foreigners, how could this even threaten the lives and property of the important ministers in the court, if it continued like this, would it impact the palace?

Sun Jianai said: "Lafayette, it's not okay to go on like this, now the Boxers in Beijing City have more than 80,000 people, and they are even equipped with a lot of weapons, if they attack the palace, what can we resist, after all, we only have thousands of Imperial Forest Army in the Forbidden City, our Armed Guards are far away in Nankou and Nanyuan, and the others are even farther away, once a mutation occurs, our army will not be able to withstand the impact of so many chaotic people!" ”

Cixi's eyes flashed, and she said in a deep voice: "Sun Shangshu, do you mean that once the Boxers storm the palace, the palace's imperial forest army will not be able to resist?" ”

Sun Jianai said urgently: "Lafayette, that is definitely unstoppable, how can thousands of Imperial Forest Army stop nearly 100,000 Boxer rebels?" This is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car! ”

Cixi's face was gloomy, Sun Jianai and Xu Tong's two ministers' homes were robbed, but it was still within his bearing, and it was a big deal to give them a certain amount of compensation, but once the Boxers could threaten the Forbidden City in the capital, it would definitely be another matter, how could Cixi hand over her safety to others to control?

Cixi said in a deep voice: "Little Lizi, immediately issue an order, and the king of Duanjun will come to see me!" ”

It didn't take long for Duanjun Wang Zaiyi to come to Cixi's residence.

Cixi said angrily: "Zaiyi, how did you do it? Can you still control the Boxers now, now in the capital, there are Boxers everywhere making trouble! Now, the mansions of Sun Shangshu and Master Xu have been ransacked, how do you manage the Boxers? If I can't manage it, then I'll change people! ”

Zai Yi was taken aback by Cixi, and hurriedly said: "Lafayette is angry, Lafayette is angry, this matter is indeed caused by the mismanagement of the minions, and then I will severely rectify the actions of the Boxers, as for the bandits who ransacked the mansions of Sun Shangshu and Master Xu, the minions will find out in the shortest possible time and hand them over to the Yamen of Yousi to deal with." ”

Cixi said angrily: "No need, for the wanton rampant Boxers, the mourning family can no longer tolerate it, Zaiyi, give me a decree, expel all the Boxers from Beijing City, Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi and other places, give me strict restrictions on the actions of the Boxers, in this chaos, this Great Qing State is still wanted." ”

Zai Yi was taken aback and said: "Lafayette, I can't help it, we have worked hard to bring the Boxers together, and now the number of Boxers has exceeded 200,000, which is the only barrier we have against the great powers, if we disband the Boxers, then once the great powers make trouble in the future, it will be absolutely difficult to resist just by relying on the armed guards." ”

Cixi said angrily: "Don't dissolve the Boxers? If the Boxers are allowed to make trouble again, they will storm the palace one day, so what about the safety of the mourning family and the emperor? ”

Zai Yi hurriedly said: "Lafayette, such a thing will never happen, Lafayette, the Boxers are loyal and patriotic, righteous and brave, how can they do such a thing, several important leaders of the Boxers, the minions have personally met them, they all want the minions to swear that they are absolutely loyal to the imperial court, and take it as their responsibility to help the Qing Dynasty destroy the foreigners, such a thing as attacking the mansion of the important ministers is just a handful of chaotic people, and the minions will definitely find them out in the shortest possible time, A clear answer to the two old adults! ”

Cixi's face softened slightly, and Sun Jianai on the side replied: "Lafayette, Weichen thinks that our situation is too chaotic now, and it is difficult for the imperial court to control the chaos of the Boxers, and on the foreigners' side, the pressure exerted on me by the ministers of various countries is also increasing, and it is very unfavorable for us to continue such a stalemate." ”

Cixi's face was gloomy and she asked, "Then what do you say we are going to do?" ”

Sun Jianai hesitated for a moment and said: "Lafayette, Weichen thinks that Lafayette should issue an order to recall Yuan Shikai and let him lead the six towns of Beiyang and sit in Zhili. ”

Zai Yi's face changed, recalling Yuan Shikai? Yuan Shikai is back, with his prestige and appeal in the army, how will he play his own drama in the future?

Cixi hesitated for a moment and said: "That's it, Sun Aiqing, put this matter aside for the time being, Xiang Cheng has just suppressed the revolutionary party in Liangguang, and now we have to transfer him back, once the revolutionary party resurges, then we will be passive at that time, not to mention, even if Yuan Shikai returns to office, it may not be able to solve the crisis in front of us, if we really want to deal with the great powers, we must ask Li Hongzhang to come back." Let's put it aside for a while, Zaiyi, give me strict restrictions on the actions of the Boxers, if there is an attack on the mansion of the important minister, the mourning family will take off your head and hang it on the head of Beijing City to deter Xiaoxiao! ”

Zai Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, as long as the Boxers were still in their hands, everything else was a trivial matter!

Sun Jianai and Xu Tong glanced at each other, and shook their heads helplessly, this Zai Yi is too favored now, and the two of them can't do anything now, so they can only do it, but whatever is lost, Zai Yi has to compensate for himself, after all, the property lost by the two people is hundreds of thousands. Zai Yi turned around and said, "Two lords, please rest assured, the lost property in your mansion will be handed over to this king, and this king will definitely get it back for you!"
