Chapter 481: Rush (Asking for Support)
Along the way, there were a lot of people who were in a hurry to get out of the city, and it was also very chaotic, the mule cart was not easy to walk at all, and several princes and guards who accompanied the car had to pull out their guns and shoot dozens of people at the crowd. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yixun and his entourage arrived at the Summer Palace, repaired it slightly, and rushed to the north. At that time, Li Guoan, as the head of the Ouchi, was not driving with him, he was ordered by Yixun to lead a group of little eunuchs in the palace to bring silver and other things to the car.
After Li Guoan handed over the silver and other things, he brought dozens of officers and soldiers guarding the Forbidden City, and a few small military planes and other ministers, and then rode out of Deshengmen and rushed north. to catch up with the emperor.
Yixun and his entourage arrived at Houchang, which is directly north of Wanshou Mountain and Yuquan Mountain, and is the last waist station in the north to enter Beijing. Although there were many people who fled when they left Deshengmen, there were quite few people who went to the Summer Palace, because most of these people just wanted to escape from the city, take refuge in the suburbs for a while, and wait until the limelight improved before returning to take care of their property, so they scattered everywhere as soon as they left Deshengmen, and naturally there were very few people who went north. When Yixun and his entourage arrived at the factory in a panic, there were not many refugees on the road, only their group. More than a dozen mule carts, tightly closed, slowly and leisurely on the road.
As the emperor, Yi Xun was thinking about his world there, thinking about the world of the Qing Dynasty, and he lost it in his hands, thinking of the country that his ancestors had fought hard, it was gone, and he fled in such a hurry, and all kinds of emotions came to his heart.
O God!
Why?
Yi Xun cried out in pain in his heart, and a line of sad tears flowed down his thin cheeks. He once tried hard to reorganize the Qing Dynasty, but in the end, it was just a failure.
Sitting in the front, Yixun was thinking about his experience in the past few years. I originally wanted to rely on the ministers of the Han family to keep the country of the Qing Dynasty, but in the end, those ministers of the Han family surrendered to thieves one by one.
As for him, he also ended up walking through the capital at night and fled in a panic to endure the bumps of the mule cart. Four years ago, his brother was in such a hurry to go out of the river, but what a scene it was at that time!
At that time, at least the food for the escape was well prepared, but now?
Not to mention the food, when his dead brother left Beijing, at least he knew where to go, at least there was hope of coming back, but at this time, what hope was there for him? Even going there is a step at a time.
Ay! Yi Xun only sighed.
The country of the Great Qing Kingdom can't be saved!
Several princes and ministers on horseback were also thinking about their own thoughts: the Great Qing Kingdom can't be saved, and now even if they flee to Rehe, what can they do? In the future, if the Han army is held responsible, I am afraid that my life will not be saved. Therefore, those princes and ministers were all worried in their hearts, and some of the Hanchen who were in the same company were also thinking about the same thing, and they also seemed to be uneasy in their hearts.
The palace maids who accompanied them also had their own thoughts, so everyone seemed relatively silent. Walk slowly and silently along the way.
Yixun seemed to think of Li Guoan, and Ling was waiting for Li Guoan's arrival here. After all, even if you flee abroad, you need silver!
I still have to wait for Li Guoan to bring the silver. Whether you go to the ocean or Liaodong, you always need silver!
Not long after, a man in his fifties who looked like a cropper led a group of people to the back factory, and the people accompanying the escort hurriedly ordered everyone to gather in front of the emperor's car, and when they got closer, they recognized this group as Li Guoan, who they were waiting for.
"Your Majesty, the minions are late."
Li Guoan came to Yixun to drive.
"Guoan, you're here, let's go?"
Yixun said calmly, not excited, really calm.
In any case, Li Guoan's safe arrival finally brought out the silver, in fact, now in the household treasury, it has long been empty and can run mice, Li Guoan brought out the money in the palace, in addition to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, there are even hundreds of thousands of taels of gold ingots confiscated by the gentry.
In order to be able to make up the money, as the emperor in the past few years, he has not been thinking of a lot. I thought of the way outside, and I thought of the way in the palace.
Earlier, when I was taking inventory of the inner treasury, I found these hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, which were worth two million taels of silver in the past, and they might not be of much use.
But now, for Yixun, who left the capital rampantly, these gold are the foundation for her to settle down in Liaodong or foreign countries in the future.
Now Yixun finally breathed a sigh of relief, which is also good news.
But what next?
Where to go!
Because there are two ways to go north: one is to cross the Great Wall in the north and go straight to Chengde Summer Resort; One is to go straight to Shanhaiguan and go out through Shanhaiguan.
But now no one can say for sure, will they send a force to take Shanhaiguan before they capture Beijing? Bao Qi, now they are waiting for the big guy at Shanhaiguan.
The road to the Chengde Summer Resort is not necessarily safe, what if you encounter the cavalry of the Han army like the master back then? No one can save them now!
The Heilongjiang Horse Team, the Heilongjiang Horse Team, has long been lost to the Han Army.
You can't take either of these roads, so which one to take?
"Your Majesty, where are we going?"
Li Guoan, who was driving beside him, asked Yixin in the car. Maybe for the little eunuchs, they can wait for the new dynasty in the palace, but for him, as the head of Ouchi. He had no other choice than to follow the emperor.
"Let's get out of the customs first."
Yixun said it very categorically.
"Take Xifengkou, you can't go anywhere else, we have to change our way this time."
With the emperor's dispatch, there is naturally a place to go, so the group of people scattered, panicked, taking advantage of the moonlight, hurriedly left the back factory, neither to the north, nor to the east, but on a gray river misty avenue, to look at the northeast and go straight to the Xifeng Pass.
The procession, which numbered a few hundred people, walked for a day and a night, and because they had not brought anything with them before they fled, there was no water, and all the villages along the way were ruined, and there was no smoke or sound in the villages, and there was a dead silence. There was no clear water to be found here, and there was no food to be found, so Yixun and the princes and belles who were escorting them were all hungry and dizzy, and Li Guoan and a group of attendant eunuchs were also hungry enough.
In the suburbs of the capital in spring, it also seems to be depressed and cold. Because he brought very few clothes before leaving, and there was a little rain in the sky from time to time, it naturally seemed extremely cold, so Yixun could only sit back to back in the car with the queen at night to keep warm.
Where have those princes and beles, young ladies and ladies who usually stretch out their hands in the palace and open their mouths for food. Not to mention the bumps along the way, I have to eat or not, I have to drink or not, and I don't even have a place to sleep, which is really uncomfortable.
Even so, no one dared to say anything. After all, the big guys know that they are running for their lives now, and if they are complaining, they may not even be able to save their lives.
Because his mouth was too thirsty, Li Guoan could only collect the straw on the side of the road and suck the dew in it, although this was just a drop in the bucket, but for Yixun, it was no worse than the taste of the imperial water in the palace, and he drank it with relish.
Along the way, there were dead bodies everywhere, mourning everywhere, and the village was silent, infinitely desolate. The reason why this is the case is not because of the military disaster, but because some bandits took advantage of the chaos, and I don't know how many people have taken refuge in the mountains.
I can't find the village, there are no people in the village, so naturally I can't find anything to eat, and the empty stomach is even more uncomfortable. Fortunately, one of Li Guoan's godson eunuchs was very scheming, and before leaving, he baked a few cakes, and at this time took them out to Li Guoan, Li Guoan gave him one, ate one himself, and gave another to the emperor.
At this time, Yixun was so hungry that his eyes were blooming, and when he got such a pancake, he no longer cared whether it was delicious or not, he ate half of it in one go, and the other half was given to the queen and others to eat, and after eating, he kept praising the cake for being delicious, probably because he hadn't eaten for a few days, right?
"Guoan, where did this pancake come from?"
Yi Xun filled his stomach a little, and then wiped his mouth and asked.
"It's the little Deng Zi in the imperial dining room, that kid is clever and smart, and he makes good dishes, and the slave thinks about leaving the emperor, and there is always someone to serve him, so he let him come together."
"You still have a heart for national security."
Yixun nodded.
"I will reward him again when I go back in the future, but I can't reward him now."
After a little bit of food, Yixun came to his senses, but when he saw the listless princes and soldiers who were following him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
The majesty of being the emperor in the past is compared with today's embarrassment, even if a man has tears and does not flick. Now Yixun couldn't help but shed tears.
"Guoan, what's the place ahead?"
"I heard that it's a small set in front."
"Well, when you get there, you can get some food and drink, and you can see how hungry they are, and they have really suffered."
Yi Xun couldn't help but choke up as he spoke.
"Your Majesty, don't be sad, it's important to flee now. The Han soldiers have gone far and will not catch up. After getting there, the minions thought of getting something to eat and drink, or to rest there before leaving. ”
Li Guoan comforted through the curtain.
Almost all of the people who accompanied him had not eaten a grain of water or anything for a day and a night, and they seemed to be very wilted, and Yixun felt that way.
But now, even as the emperor, he can only sigh like this. He couldn't feed them anything else, after all, even he had only eaten half a pancake now.
"Could it be that the kings of the dead country have been like this throughout the ages?"
Yi Xun secretly thought like this in his heart, but he forgot now that there were several emperors in Chinese dynasties who fled like him.
I'm afraid that only these two emperors of the Great Qing Kingdom fled in a hurry when they were facing the death of the country. For those ministers and minions, they naturally did not blame the emperor. will only say something there, the emperor has worked hard.
As for all kinds of sins, they are the sins of courtiers and slaves. This is the characteristic of my Great Qing Kingdom.
Even at night, Yixun and his party continued to walk non-stop. When the group arrived at the small market in Li Guoan's mouth, it was already early in the morning of the next day, and the sun would come out.
When one of the escorts, Baylor, saw the bazaar, he stopped drinking, and then he walked there alone with his foreign gun, and there was no one in the bazaar, and most of the people had apparently gone to take refuge from the army. They had already hidden in the mountains, and when he walked around the market, he noticed an old man and a middle-aged man, who were talking about the war. It seems that they are subjects of the Great Qing Dynasty, and when they talk about the Han army, they hate it to the core, and when they talk about the royal family, they sigh.
Seeing this, this Belle Ye told the two of them the news of the emperor's escape, and poured out the emperor's current difficulties, hoping that they could find some water and get some food.
When these two people heard this, they didn't expect that the emperor was not far away, and they had been so hungry that they hadn't eaten for two days, so they readily agreed to give them food and drink.
Seeing that he had landed, this Baylor went back to lure Yixun and the queen and the prince, the minister of military aircraft and the guards over.
The old man and the middle-aged man had prepared water and were cooking millet porridge, and the aroma of the porridge caused drooling one by one, and in their hearts, they felt that there was nothing more fragrant than this, after all, they had been hungry for a day and two nights.
The water is sufficient, let them drink it, from the capital to the present, this line, from Yixun to the little soldiers, finally drank water to the fullest.
After drinking the water, I ate some millet porridge again. Everyone came to the spirit at this time, and Yixun naturally couldn't help but ask what the two people were doing, and promised that after the traitors were pacified one day in the future, they would definitely reward them officials, and the two of them immediately kowtowed gratefully when they heard it, as if they had been rewarded.
In fact, for those who accompanied them, they all knew that there was no hope for the Qing Kingdom, and as for this so-called reward, it was just the emperor's casual words.
For those two people, they didn't think about it so much, they felt that the emperor was a man of his word, saying that there would be rewards in the future.
Under this mentality, they even took out all the grain that they used as seeds at home for the emperor and these princes and ministers to eat. But they didn't know that their contribution was meaningless, but for these two rural people, they were so happy.
I drank enough water and filled my stomach. It stands to reason that you should take a comfortable break!
Yixun thought the same thing, but he was worried that this place was not safe, after all, the top priority now was to save his life first. So he asked:
"How far is this place from the capital?"
"Almost seventy miles."
Someone in the crowd immediately answered.
