Jiaqing looked into the sky through the car window and saw a reconnaissance plane hovering overhead, which made him feel very bad. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although he had expected this to happen before he fled, when he was really chased by the Tang people, Jiaqing's mood was still very bad.

As long as there are these reconnaissance aircraft in the sky, then his location will inevitably be leaked to the Dons. And Jiaqing's Praetorian Guards did not even achieve motorization. Jiaqing didn't realize the value of a rapidly mobile army, and instead focused more on building the army's ability to hold on. The cost of building a mobile unit is particularly huge, not only to purchase a large number of cars, but also to repair machinery on a daily basis, plus expensive fuel costs, and roads in various places need to be repaired. Jiaqing was always bent on recruiting more troops and purchasing more new weapons, but there was no specific main axis for army building.

By this time, it was too late to regret it, although the Praetorian Guard had a large number of mules and horses to use, but under the conditions of the new war, it was necessary to carry a large amount of heavy equipment, and the overall speed of action became very pitiful. Jiaqing thought that as long as he left the capital, the Praetorian Guard would be able to move as fast as the Tang Army, but this was obviously a fool's dream.

"If you think about it this way, the armored forces of the Tang people will soon catch up." Jiaqing was anxious.

Lu Yinpu, who was accompanying him, suggested at this time: "Your Majesty, although it is safe to walk with the Praetorian Guard, it is too conspicuous, if the Tang people intend to disadvantage the king, then Your Majesty is in danger." ”

Jiaqing is now very displeased with Lu Yinpu and Cao Zhenyong, and the plan of the two to use the Boxers to make trouble for the Tang people seemed to have some effect at first, but in the end, everyone could see that the Boxers were a lump of mud that could not support the wall, and the Tang people only needed to solve them with one force, three times and five divided by two. Although the Boxers were making trouble in every village and store in North China, it seemed that the Qing government was the most affected, while the Tang people were not too nervous. Now the Tang people have begun to "clean up the township" again, and the villagers have joined forces with the Tang people to deal with the Boxers. Jiaqing left all the Jingshi behind, because he was afraid that the Tang people would use the excuse of dealing with the Boxers to take him by the way.

Jiaqing also has a little more heart now, he always stayed in Jingshi before, as long as something happened, the Tang people took his seven inches, and he couldn't move. As long as he is not caught by the Tang people, or even does not compromise with the Tang people, sooner or later the Tang people hope to restore the calm situation in various places and do business and immigrate in peace and stability. At that time, Jiaqing's cooperation will still be needed.

Jiaqing thought he had seen through the Tang people, so this time he chose a new approach, which was to escape. He ran to a place out of the reach of the Tang people, and just spent it with the Tang people, although this is a means of killing 800 enemies and losing 8,000 themselves, but Jiaqing doesn't want to beg the Tang people anymore, this time he wants the Tang people to beg him.

In such a mess, you can also see who is loyal and who is traitor in this court, who cooperates with the Tang people and sells the lord for glory, and he will deal with them all later. At least that's how Jiaqing gave himself a reason to comfort.

Jiaqing didn't look at Lu Yinpu and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Yinpu said: "The minister suggested that Your Majesty and the Praetorian Guards should be divided into two ways, the Praetorian Guards attract the attention of the Tang people, and Your Majesty will sneak quietly and not be discovered by the Tang people." When the time comes, Your Majesty is back in charge of the world, and great things can be accomplished. ”

Jiaqing's anger could no longer be controlled, and he casually smashed out a jade pendant in his hand, which happened to hit the top of Lu Yinpu's head.

Jiaqing said angrily: "What kind of stupid idea are you, I abandoned the Son of Heaven, abandoned my Praetorian Guard, hid like a mouse, and survived for my life?" The Praetorian Guard is my last reliance, and if the Praetorian Guard is gone, I won't have any cards in my hand! ”

Lu Yinpu couldn't kneel down in the car, so he hurriedly bowed his head and confessed, but he still said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal and loyal, all for the sake of the country." Now is the time of crisis, and there should be the determination of a strong man to break his wrist. Although the Praetorian Guard is important, no matter how important it is, it can't match His Majesty's golden body. As long as Your Majesty can keep Antai, there is no one in the world who does not respect the emperor's will. Cleaning up the mountains and rivers is just a snap of a finger. ”

Jiaqing is really a little difficult to decide, in fact, he knows that some of what Lu Yinpu said is right. The Tang army was bound to pursue him, and the large army traveled, although there were tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards who seemed safe, but they were a huge target, and the Tang people's reconnaissance planes were wandering in the sky every day, and their whereabouts had already been clearly detected. The Tang people definitely wanted to help him "invite" him to return to Beijing, and once it fell into the hands of the Tang people, Jiaqing couldn't help himself.

He thought left and right, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to use the means of setting up a suspicious array to confuse the Tang Army's tracking, and first ensure his own safety. Jiaqing decided not only to separate from the large army of the Praetorian Guard, but also to let the Praetorian Guards divide their routes and march in different directions, confusing the eyes of the Tang people. Even if the Tang people catch up with the Praetorian Guard, they don't know which way there is an emperor in it.

And he took advantage of the night when there was no Tang Army reconnaissance plane patrolling, changed into a costume, and only took a few ministers and concubines and princes, secretly went to Jinnan, and finally arrived in Xi'an. There, he had some advance arrangements so that he could not be discovered by the Tang people. Moreover, the depth of Xi'an is large enough, and the Tang army can only reach it unless it mobilizes all its forces to attack. After Jiaqing arrived in Xi'an, he could continue to follow his will by remote control, at least that's what he envisioned.

So, on the night after the strategy was decided, Jiaqing changed into an ordinary person's clothes, and no longer took the luxury car given by the Tang people, but sat in an inconspicuous carriage. The carriage had removed everything that could identify the traces of the royal family, and it had been prepared for a long time.

Even though the so-called light car is simple, in fact, there are still hundreds of people around Jiaqing, and in addition to the people in the palace, there are also necessary guards. However, these people have all removed their uniforms and are dressed as refugees who have fled, and at this time, there are quite a lot of refugees, so they can hide their eyes and ears when they are mixed in.

Jiaqing left his emperor's guard of honor in the Praetorian Guard, and still said to the outside world that the emperor was still in the Praetorian Guard and wanted to get by. On the second day, the Praetorian Guards marched to different places in five routes, and even left one for the break. However, Jiaqing still left an edict before leaving, if the Tang army is weak and can attack it, if the enemy is very strong, do not be reckless to meet the enemy, you can be false with it. After all, the Qing court and the Tang Dynasty have not completely torn their faces. (To be continued.) )
