Cixi received Yang Zhongxing's telegram for three days, and it was the last day of October. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What? 45,000 elite troops wiped out? Nie Shicheng and the other three were captured and captured by the Mengshan army? This problem quickly spread among the ministers of the DPRK and China.

As for Cixi herself, when she heard that Li Lianying finished the main points of the telegram, she didn't even read the contents, and fainted in the Chuxiu Palace.

And Emperor Guangxu, although he did not faint on the spot after hearing the news, he was unconscious, stunned, and had no focus in his eyes all day, and his mouth was chattering from time to time, what should I do, what should I do?

On this day, the busiest person in the imperial court was the chief military minister, Prince Shiduo. Also busy with him are Duanjun Wang Zaiyi, Rong Lu, Wang Wenshao, Lu Chuanlin, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others.

It is amazing that because Xu Lie completely annihilated tens of thousands of soldiers of the Green Battalion of Shandong Governor Zhang Rumei in the Pig Waist Valley in mid-June, Kang Youwei and others' reform measures were not implemented. The governor of a province was captured by bandits, and neither Guangxu himself nor Cixi had the heart to do anything to reform the law, so Kang Liang and others were able to serve as officials in the imperial court.

For Cixi, the imperial doctor said that it was just a blood attack, and the body was fine, but the queen mother just didn't wake up, and the emperor didn't see anyone, except for being close to the eunuch and being able to go in and bring him hot tea, no one else could set foot in the palace at all.

In fact, thinking seriously about the official system of the Qing court, I feel that there is no good call of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what the Ming Dynasty is, most of the time there are first assistants and second assistants, and then there are six departments. Although the Qing court set up a military aircraft department after the middle of the period, it was essentially a somewhat unjustifiable institution, because it had a lot of power, but in the administrative structure, it was always a "temporary institution", which belonged to the emperor's private secretary team.

At this time, Cixi was unconscious, the six gods of Guangxu had no master, and Prince Shiduo, the head of the military aircraft, had to come forward and gather everyone to come up with ideas and find ways to survive the biggest crisis since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

And the most typical way for the people of the dragon country to deal with the crisis is to hold a meeting.

Originally, it would have been easier to reach a consensus if the top leader was present at the meeting. However, the meeting presided over by Prince Shiduo of Li, the supreme head could not be present in person, or even could not convey the will normally, in the context of later generations, this meeting was somewhat inadequate, or it was a meeting that was not justified.

Therefore, these people can only do something to maintain the meeting before the master expresses his position.

They immediately conveyed an order in the capacity of the Military Aircraft Department to temporarily promote the posts of the remaining officers of the three armies of the Wuyi Army, the Gan Army, and the New Army, so as to stabilize the situation in Beijing.

At the same time, it is planned to transfer the green camp in Zhili, Shanxi, Huguang and other places to Jingqin Wang. This directive is the most courageous decision that a group of ministers can make when their masters are not able to govern.

On top of that, I'm afraid I won't dare to do anything.

They didn't dare to do anything, and of course they wouldn't sit idle, so this group of ministers who were the best in the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were worried about the future of the Qing Dynasty with great apprehension.

The first thing to worry about is, where did this Mengyin Xu bandit come out when he arrived, and how many troops did he have?

But this, it seems that there is no accurate information, and the telegram of Yang Zhongxing of Linqu Zhixian County did not say clearly how many people there are on the other side, although the telegram also said that there are "thousands of people" in Mengyin and Xu bandits, but thousands of people want to defeat tens of thousands of people, and want to make these ministers believe, do you think that these ministers are rice buckets, don't say thousands of people, even thousands of heavenly soldiers, it is impossible to wipe out the army of tens of thousands of people so easily?

It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, how many people are there in the shadows? At this time, Wang Wenshao, Minister of Military Aircraft, spoke up: "Ladies and gentlemen, I remember that the Military Aircraft Department once received a piece of information sent by secret agents, which said that the Xu bandits reorganized the Mengyin bandits into the Mengshan Army, with a total of three regiments and three battalions. ”

"Three regiments and three battalions? What kind of organization is it? Kang Youwei asked out loud. This Kang man advocated the reform of the law, but he did not know the formation of the Western army.

"The regiment is the establishment of the Western army, which is roughly equivalent to a standard of my Qing Dynasty." Duanjun Wang Zaiyi said.

"Huh? How is this possible, if so, wouldn't there be 10,000 bandits in Mengyin yet? Naturally, some people do not believe in this conclusion, because does this conclusion not coincide with the "thousands of people" mentioned in Yang Zhongxing's telegram?

"Perhaps, Xu Bandit did only have these numbers of bandits before, but we all know that the number of bandits has never been fixed, and it is normal to have more for a while and less for a while." Prince Li Shiduo came to a conclusion about this.

In this case, there is no longer a discussion on this issue. In fact, they can't say clearly if they want to discuss it, because they don't know how many people there are.

"This Mengyin Xu bandit is so rampant, my lords, is there a good way to exterminate it?" Prince Li Shiduo asked again. Perhaps, this question is the purpose of the meeting convened by Shidor. As a number of ministers, everyone knows that when the queen mother and the emperor wake up, they must ask everyone for advice.

A good way to eradicate it? When everyone heard this question, they immediately had nothing to say, because this matter was very troublesome, even if they thought about exterminating it in their hearts, there were countermeasures, but they didn't dare to say it easily, because once they said it, it might become a decision of the imperial court, and if this decision proved effective in the suppression of bandits, or was successful, then the reward from the Queen Mother and the Emperor was needless to say; But the question is, this Mengyin Xu bandit is so powerful, who dares to guarantee that his strategy will definitely work? Thinking that the imperial court exterminated the bandits back then, didn't it take more than ten years before and after?

When I think of this, even if I have a countermeasure, I really don't dare to contribute easily. Because the incident of the bandits reminded these ministers that if they don't do it well, the Shandong bandits will lead to a reshuffle between the DPRK and China.

In fact, there are already people who are worried, this person is a few guys from the Military Aircraft Department, Shi Duo has a share, Lu Chuanlin has a share, and Wang Wenshao also has a share.

For Mao to say this, the reason is that Nie Shicheng and the three of them went to Shandong to suppress bandits, which was the result of the discussion of a few guys from the Military Aircraft Department, but I didn't expect a total of 150,000 troops, and the Mengyin Xu bandits were all wiped out by the other party! If the Queen Mother and the Emperor want to find a scapegoat, can a few guys from the Military Aircraft Department escape? Although this incident will not lose its head and there is no direct responsibility, it is not impossible for some people to be cut off from their posts and become citizens.

Some people think too much and dare not say it; But some people don't care and dare to say anything, this person is Kang Da.

Seeing that everyone didn't say anything, it was quite cold, so Kang Youwei opened his mouth: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is not impossible for people to exterminate the Mengyin Xu bandits. ”

"Ah, what is the best plan for Lord Kang?" When Shi Duo heard Kang Youwei say this, he immediately asked excitedly. Mao, there are still good people in this world, and I can't find the steps to go down, no, Master Kang came over.
