Chapter 101: The Queen Mother Escapes
On this day, Hu Xiaoyan was seeing "not taking the phase." If not. Why. Everything has a way to go. Like a dream bubble. Like dew, it is like electricity. It should be viewed as such. The door was opened again, and in came a young nobleman.
"Hu Shanshi?"
"Prince Zhuang?"
Hu Xiaoyan laughed: "You are here to take my life?" ”
Jae-hoon didn't mind giving up his position. He was followed by two cloths with knives.
"Please Mr. Li on his way."
"The Eight-Nation Coalition is coming into the city, right?" Hu Xiaoyan stretched out indifferently.
Jae-hoon's eyes lit up, if the Eight-Nation Alliance hadn't already arrived. He didn't dare to move Li Yan, you must know that Li Yan's reputation among the major governors and people in the country is too great. But at this time, only by killing Li Yan could he hope to get the command of the new army outside the city. The Eight-Nation Coalition is attacking the city, and it is too normal for a handful of people to die.
"Do it!" Jae-hoon didn't want Hu Xiaoyan to say any more.
The two coats pressed over with expressionless faces.
Hu Xiaoyan got up, shook his hands in front of him, and flicked his casual clothes again.
"I'm British. Prince Zhuang, you have to think clearly before you do it! ”
The two coats were stunned and stopped. Killing a famous Han Chinese is not the same thing as killing a famous Englishman. They looked back at their master.
Prince Zhuang Zaixun was also stunned. He knew that Hu Xiaoyan came back from the UK, but he didn't expect Hu Xiaoyan to have British nationality!
"So what? You are still a citizen of my Great Qing Kingdom! Jae-hoon could only argue strongly.
"Hmph, I've been in the UK for more than ten years. It's not something that a cat or a dog can bully. Prince Zhuang, although you are a prince, I am afraid that you have no right to dispose of me. Hu Xiaoyan walked up to Jae-hoon and patted Jae-hoon on the shoulder. He removed a revolver from his waist.
"Good gun."
"What do you want to do?" Prince Zhuang Zaixun was shocked when he saw Hu Xiaoyan suddenly pull out his gun.
"Don't worry, although I am an Englishman, I will not kill the prince of a country for no reason! It's just that I asked the prince to send me out. Hu Xiaoyan checked the magazine groove and found that there were six bullets. The Colt revolver is generally used only by the commander of the British ** team. It is also considered the world's first pistol. It was invented as early as the time of black powder. But because it is slow to reload, it has a small ammunition capacity. It was later replaced by an automatic pistol. But in this day and age, it was undoubtedly a very reliable pistol. The Mauser C96 (box gun) that has appeared is certainly better, but it is too difficult to use. Don't look at the appearance in various dramas, some people even use it to make a name for a hundred steps. But the fact that the Mauser C96 is not good in Germany has been proven. In China, only sharpshooters and bandits who have a very good sense of guns can really use it well.
"You?" Jae-hoon was a little angry.
Hu Xiaoyan suddenly let go of his right hand, and the left wheel fell. He swung his right hand backwards to unleash a single whip, and with his left hand caught the revolver and pointed it back at Jae-hoon.
The single whip silently struck the head of a coated one that had crept up. With a "snap", Bao Yi's head was tilted, and his body was soft to the ground. The other coat didn't have time to close his legs, but Hu Xiaoyan took a step back, stretched out his hand and patted it. Slapped away the defense of the coat, and grabbed the neck of the coat with a grab.
Hu Xiaoyan's middle finger pressed lightly at the base of the coating's ear and then let go. Bao Yi rolled his eyes and fell to the ground softly.
"Let's go. Rajah. Hu Xiaoyan grabbed Jae-hoon's finger pointing at him and walked out.
Zaixun was the commander of the Nine Gates, equivalent to the garrison commander of Beijing City in later generations, and was in charge of all the armed forces in Beijing City. If he can come to Hu Xiaoyan in person, I'm afraid the situation can't be worse.
Walking out of the lama temple, Hu Xiaoyan knew that he had guessed correctly. Countless people seemed to be crazy, some were running out of the city with large bags and small bags, and some were closing the door and looking out through the crack in the door. Some of the thugs are waiting for an opportunity to make trouble. A scene of gods and demons dancing wildly, the end of the world.
"Lord Wang, have you seen it? The Great Qing Kingdom is finished. Hu Xiaoyan let go of Jae-hoon's hand.
Zaixun was already speechless at this time, he always thought that Hu Xiaoyan was just a weak scholar with a little talent. It turned out to be a tiger that eats people and doesn't spit out bones. Although he was free from Hu Xiaoyan's control, he believed that as long as he made any abnormal moves, the revolver bullet would definitely shoot at him without hesitation.
"Lord Hu, the situation is critical, please immediately order the new army to send troops!" Jae-hoon said boldly.
"The Great Qing Kingdom is finished. What other soldiers? If I had been released a day earlier, there would have been a slight chance. Now it's powerless. Hu Xiaoyan's heart was gloomy. He didn't know if he was doing the right thing or not this time. He Hu did not hesitate to sacrifice the people of the city, just for today.
"Lord Wang, you cherish yourself." Hu Xiaoyan grabbed the reins and jumped onto Zaixun's horse. Jae-hoon is a military general, although Yongwu is not there, he can still ride a horse. He came on horseback.
Hu Xiaoyan only lifted the reins to control this not-so-tame pony. Few of the wealthy nobles and merchants in England could not ride horses. Hu Xiaoyan's farm also had a few ponies, and he received the most orthodox aristocratic education in England at a very young age. Horseback riding is just the basics.
"Farewell!" Hu Xiaoyan patted the horse's buttocks, and the pony raised its hooves and galloped away, leaving Jae-hoon with a bitter face.
"Lord Wang? To chase or not to chase? The coat behind him bent over and leaned over.
"You're going to chase it!" Jae-hoon turned around and swung his fist, hitting Bao Yi with a peach blossom face.
"Didn't you see that my master was taken hostage? Why did you go early! I'm going to beat you to death! ”
When Hu Xiaoyan returned to the camp, it was already dark.
"How's it going?"
He didn't ask where the guards who were besieging the camp were.
"Nie Junmen and Ma Junmen were defeated by Japanese and Russian artillery fire after holding off the enemy in Yangcun for a day, and Lord Li Bingheng followed closely behind, holding out for less than an hour before being routed again. Master Lee committed suicide on the spot. Nie Junmen and Ma Junmen reported that the coalition forces could reach Beijing before noon tomorrow. Wang Ting's frame returned. He hesitated, but pulled out a newspaper.
Hu Xiaoyan took a look, and his face suddenly darkened. The Hailan Pao tragedy and the Jiangdong 64 Tun tragedy still happened.
At the same time as the Eight-Nation Coalition captured the city of Tianjin, on July 16. The Russian army attacked Heilongjiang, and on the way, Hailan Pao and Jiangdong 64 Tun started a brutal and inhumane extermination tragedy. A few days after the tragedy, corpses could be seen floating down from the upstream in the Heilongjiang River, and the river was red.
"Go and rest, prepare your arms for battle tomorrow, and wait for orders." Hu Xiaoyan closed his eyes.
"Do as you are told."
The troops of the Eight-Nation Coalition came quickly, and they arrived before noon, and soon they dispersed Nie Shicheng and Ma Yukun's troops and occupied Tongzhou. Subsequently, the vanguard led by Japan and Russia drove to the city of Beijing. Because the railway station was not blocked, one of the elite troops of about 1,000 people drove by train to Beijing City, and this assault team arrived at Dongjiaomin Lane and attacked inside and outside to relieve the siege of the embassy. At noon on that day, the Japanese-Russian coalition forces, which had arrived in advance, carried out a round of artillery bombardment on the city of Beijing.
On July 28, the year of Gengzi, the history is known as the Gengzi Incident (the history of this time and space).
At this time, the total strength of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was 20,000 British troops, 23,000 Japanese troops, 30,000 Russian troops, 4,000 American troops, 500 American troops, 2,000 German troops, 5,000 French troops, and Italy and Austria-Hungary fought soy sauce. The coalition army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and the Qing army, excluding the Boxers and the civilian casualties, was about 50,000.
Among them, about 23,000 of the allied casualties were wiped out by Hu Xiaoyan's airship troops and Maxine, and the remaining more than 5,000 were wiped out by the Huai army. The last more than 1,000 people died at the hands of the Boxers. The casualties of the Boxers and ordinary people totaled 100,000.
The total number of troops dispatched by the Eight-Nation Coalition has reached 100,000 under the strong collusion between President McKinley and Japan and Russia. In addition, the Russian army is drinking the horse Heilongjiang, and the Japanese army is hunting on the banks of the Yalu River. The insightful magnates of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already begun to prepare to flee, and the hooligans and ruffians appeared, and the ghosts, snakes, and gods of the cattle and snakes appeared, and there was chaos in the city of Beijing.
Prince Qing Zaixun was immediately stunned after receiving the shelling of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance. The capital of the Great Qing Kingdom has not experienced war for more than 100 years, and there are still tens of millions of people in the inner city, but even God is not sure how much combat power the Eight Banners still have.
"What about Galeries Lafayette?" Jae-hoon was dazed. "Master, Lafayette ran away at noon."
Bao Yi cried, "Let's run too." "Run?" Jae-hoon finally came to his senses, "Where are you going?" "Lao Tzu is now staying in the capital! Don't you come back if you run away? When the time comes, I still can't run! ”
"What then?" Bao Yi panicked. "What to do? Hurry up and clean up at home, let them go first, you have to fight! summoned the second master and the third master, as well as Dong Fuxiang. ”
Jae-hoon gritted his teeth. Lafayette almost fainted when he heard the cannon at noon, and finally came to his senses under the greeting of Li Lianying and a bunch of old and young eunuchs.
"Why don't you pack up your things and go hunting?"
"Where is this going?" Li Lianying also had a sad face, losing her previous shrewdness.
"Go to Chengde!" Galeries Lafayette's eyes lit up. "Before that, I've got to pick up someone." Lafayette wants to be grounded, of course, it is not an ordinary person, Xiyuan Yingtai Guangxu Emperor!
It's really pitiful to Guangxu, his mother is Yehenara Wanzhen, who is Yehenara Wanzhen? This woman is the sister of Cixi Lafayette. Cixi gave birth to a son, Emperor Tongzhi, but Emperor Tongzhi died when he was 19 years old. After comprehensive consideration, Cixi set up her own sister's son, hoping to continue to live forever. The so-called fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and my sister's son is also devoted to himself. Unexpectedly, both Emperor Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu were very disgusted by the behavior of the old ladies in seizing power.
When it comes to the rights of the Ninety-Five Supreme, even the affection of relatives does not work. The change of law is fame and fortune. Fame, fame, fame, and fortune are what is changed for fame and fortune. What country is rich and powerful, it is all like a dream and like electricity. If you are a puppet without rights, what does the country's prosperity have to do with Emperor Guangxu? The Empress Dowager Cixi of Lafayette also supported the change of law at the beginning, after all, the country is strong, and the actual ruler of her empire is also beneficial, at least to build a garden and have a big birthday will not attract a lot of scolding in the country. Emperor Guangxu, who was ambitious and talented, did this big stupid thing. Countless love-hates intertwined to draw out Cixi's boundless anger. The old lady is 66 years old, how many years can she live? Even if you fight for life, you can't fight for your young age. I don't know that the old lady is fighting for her life, and she wants to survive Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong? Are you so impatient?
On that day, Cixi only took a dozen little eunuchs and palace maids to escort Emperor Guangxu to escape from Beijing under the protection of more than 1,000 soldiers.
This is the second of the three major cases in the late Qing Dynasty: the disappearance of the emperor. There are also many royal treasures missing, and one of the dragon vein treasure maps was extended to several movies a hundred years later.
On July 28, Gengzi year, Cixi and Emperor Guangxu patrolled the Chengde Summer Resort and lost contact halfway.
