Chapter 372: A False Alarm

After threatening and luring the Empress Dowager Xi into political submission, Luo Yang was in a great mood, and he had many dreams at night, without further ado, he immediately recruited officers, discussed things, and found someone to draft an edict, and then in the Yang Xin Hall of the Qing Imperial Palace, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of the two palaces were recruited, and under the attention of dozens of generals and soldiers, the two jade seals of the captured Emperor Dabao and the Empress Dowager were handed over to them and signed.

After getting the golden silk, the Empress Dowager of the West personally wrote the text content, the seven-year-old Emperor Tongzhi looked stupidly and snotty on the side, the Empress Dowager Ci'an of the East Palace looked depressed, her eyes were moist, she wrapped her hand around the shoulders of the Tongzhi Emperor, and twisted her face to the side,

After writing, the Empress Dowager Xi glanced at the edict horizontally, spit out her brocade lips, and blew the fragrant breath, which was the habitual action of the scholar, and then, she put down her pen and ink, thoughtfully,

It's been a long time, Luo Yang has been waiting for a long time, and the Queen Mother of the West has never had a seal.

"Hurry up, not surrender, but to save the most fundamental interests of the Manchu elite, as well as the lives of hundreds of thousands of people." Luo Yang reminded,

"Sister, you can't use the seal." The Empress Dowager Ci'an of the East Palace suddenly became impulsive and grabbed the hand of the Empress Dowager of the West with her hand, and the Empress Dowager of the West was infected and refused to use the seal again.

These women, they are so stubborn, if Lao Tzu was the style of your Manchu court, you would have started killing a long time ago, and you would have been happy if you couldn't have caused a Beijing tragedy, Shenyang ten days or something, etc.,

At this time, an officer couldn't help it, "King Rui, what else are you grinding with them, they refuse to use the seal, forget it, since they don't know what to do, they can't blame us, pull them out, and comfort the hundreds of hard-working brothers outside, anyway, it's useless to be idle, as for using the seal, let's cover it ourselves, who knows." ”

This officer is not very old, and his head is very useful, Luo Yang glanced at him appreciatively,

As expected, the queen mother of the two palaces was afraid, it was the little emperor, and when she saw that everyone was fierce, she actually cried.

Quickly stamped, two women hugged a child, and began to cry,

Luo Yang instructed to transcribe hundreds of copies according to what the Empress Dowager of the West wrote, and then, using the great treasure of the Qing Dynasty Emperor and the jade seal of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, stamping them one by one, and then sending them to the officers and soldiers everywhere, demanding that the Qing officers and soldiers who were searching for surrender were asked.

"Okay, okay, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, the little emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the matter is over, you can rest." Luo Yang waved his hand,

"You, you, you can't be so treacherous." The Empress Dowager Ci'an cried and said,

The Empress Dowager Xi hugged the little emperor and looked at Luo Yang coldly: "You can kill our mother and son with confidence." ”

Luo Yang was greatly aggrieved: "Please go back to your current residence, rest for a while, and then eat." ”

"You, you don't kill us." Empress Dowager Xi asked in disbelief, it turned out that she had always thought that Luo Yang was just teasing her, for the sake of her son's temporary safety, she still agreed, and now, she thought that Luo Yang was going to kill them,

"From now on, you are the guests of this king, oh, of course it is not suitable for you to live here, so this king has found enough houses in the city for you, in the future, if there is anything, you can send someone to find this king, and this king will definitely help." Luo Yang's sincere words and demeanor made the two women cry with gratitude,

Luo Yang used moderate political methods, threats and temptations, and obtained the cooperation of the highest Manchu authorities headed by the Empress Dowager Xi, in fact, after returning to the residence, the Empress Dowager Xi and others were convinced that they were really pardoned and preferential, so they were very excited and immediately wrote a letter to express their gratitude, so that a very tricky problem was solved.

The question is not so simple, when the news that Luo Yang had robbed the emperor and the empress dowager of the Qing court spread, the next morning, a Qing army came to attack, it was Prince Gong's troops,

Prince Gong's melancholy face was full of grief and indignation, and all the officers and generals around him were also filled with righteous indignation, because the weather was hot, many people's faces were sweaty, and no one deliberately cared, the cavalry troops were running wildly in front, and the infantry were also desperately chasing, the attack of the Qing army, in the eyes of a small soldier, may be the clearest, a banner man of the eight banners of the Han army, twenty-one-year-old Tao Jingfu, but 'is a soldier of the Qing army, and then the Han people, as long as he is a banner man, he also has the privilege of being a professional soldier and receiving military salaries, and he is thin and weak. He rarely participated in training, but only made up a number during training, so when Beijing was under martial law, he officially joined the barracks and became a full-time soldier.

"The emperor and the queen mother have been caught by bandits in the capital."

In private, many officers and soldiers talked like this, everyone knew the situation, those Qing troops who retreated, those Qing cavalry who saw the royal convoy being surrounded, as soon as they encountered other troops, they cried,

Because of the physical discomfort, the Tao soldiers who ran for more than a day and ran almost scattered their bones could only pretend to be dead, lying on the edge of the road, dying watching the Qing army return to Beijing City.

There are also many soldiers, crying while walking, the capital of the Qing Dynasty was broken, although it is not the first time, but the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces were arrested, but it is the first time in the world, the emperor is not, is the Qing Dynasty still saved?

"Rush, rush into the city, even if you die, you have to rescue the queen mother and the emperor." Prince Gong's side, there are several people wearing princely crowns, all of whom are Manchu magnates,

The morale of the Qing army was very angry, so the charge was powerful, Prince Gong personally supervised the battle, wielding military horses, except for the thirty percent of the officers and soldiers with poor physical strength, the rest of the officers and soldiers were still working hard and rushed to the city defense,

Tao Jingfu worked hard, and rushed to the edge of the city before falling down, so he could see it very clearly,

The Huaxia Army and the legendary Taiping Tian** are almost the same, but the weapons are very different, the Qing Army started, in the active position, there were many people, rushed hard, the Huaxia Army seemed to be defenseless, so, the Qing Army rushed in,

"Okay, we have to get up and follow Prince Gong as a hero."

Tao soldiers also thought that those officers and soldiers of the Chinese army would definitely be attacked when they were at a loss and defeated, and when they were defeated, they must kill the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces, at that time, even if the Qing Dynasty was brought back, there was only a new emperor, yes, isn't Prince Gong the best candidate, with the dream of making meritorious service from the dragon and being the founding father, the Tao soldiers glowed with surprising bravery and stood up,

Boom, boom,

The artillery of the Qing army and the artillery of the Chinese army bombarded each other,

The vanguard of the Qing army was cavalry, a small number of infantry, so there were few artillery, and as a result, it was bombarded extremely badly by the Huaxia army.

Seeing that many people flew into the sky, Tao soldiers had to show their ingenuity again and lie down and pretend to be dead.

The battlefield was very chaotic, some of the Qing troops rushed into the city, and some of them bombarded the city wall outside the city, but the Huaxia army seemed to be everywhere, and after a while, I saw that the Qing soldiers who rushed in escaped again,

Then, behind the Qing army, followed by many Huaxia Tian**, as well as the artillery in the city, the bombardment was even more powerful, and the Qing army suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

Brother Tao saw with his own eyes that Prince Gong cried a few times to the city, and then fled with his men and horses.
