Section 20 Killing Cixi

Shanqi took Wu Yong to a large sedan chair, Wu Yong turned over and dismounted, and immediately knelt in the mud. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This sedan chair is the shoulder of Yanqing Zhizhou for Cixi, although it is not as good as Beijing's ceremonial car, but it is also spacious and generous, and more than a dozen little eunuchs can carry it.

The great eunuch Li Lianying stood in front of the sedan chair, with her toes proud, as if she had found her superiority in the palace again, and sang sharply: "Come and report it!" ā€

Wu Yong bowed without a crown and knelt down to report his resume.

But through the curtain, the person sitting inside was obviously not interested in when Wu Yong would take the imperial examination and be suitable for being an official.

Faintly asked through the curtain: "How far is it from the county seat?" ā€

Wu Yong replied: "Twenty-five miles." ā€

Cixi asked again, "Are you ready to eat?" ā€

This is what Cixi is most concerned about.

Wu Yong replied, "It's ready." ā€

Cixi showed joy: "Okay, it's good to be prepared." ā€

Seeing the post station, the food has been prepared, and it should have been relieved, but the Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly became sad, and she cried out loud uncontrollably, crying sadly and sadly.

A venting voice sounded: "The old woman and the emperor walked hundreds of miles away for days, but they didn't see a single person, and the officials were gone." When I come to Huailai County today, you can come to meet me without sheltering from the wind and rain, and you can be called a loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty. I never thought that the overall situation would be so bad that you could come and pick up the car without being rude. This is the end of the country, and the Qing Dynasty can still be saved. ā€

Wu Yong knelt in the muddy water, patiently listened to the grievances of the Queen Mother, and then kowtowed again and again to ask for guilt, the so-called king humiliated the ministers to death.

"That's it. Get up, don't kneel, beware of the cold! ā€

Suddenly, the sedan chair was opened, Wu Yong saw Lafayette's kind face, and heard the thoughtful care, and immediately felt relieved in his heart, and there was an emotion of repaying the king's kindness with death.

Shanqi was about to turn over and get on his horse, but suddenly waved his hand to stop his men.

Then his complexion immediately changed, and he was shocked: "Escort!" ā€

The sound that Shanqi heard was the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of horses' hooves coming at them, whether it was an attack or not, be careful.

After speaking, Shanqi immediately got on the horse, pulled out the saber, and his subordinates also drew their knives one by one, pulled the bolts of the guns, and then surrounded the Empress Dowager Cixi and several carriages behind her.

As soon as they lined up, they heard the sound of gunfire.

Ma Tengfei took the lead, his legs between his horses, and he picked up his rifle and shot repeatedly.

Immediately after that, the other party also began to shoot back, and Ma Tengfei heard the sound of bullets flying in his ears, and immediately pulled off the reins of the horse.

Seeing Ma Tengfei stop, the other cavalry also slowly stopped one by one, and finally gathered together in a mess around Ma Tengfei.

"Ma Daqi, what should I do?"

The cavalrymen asked without an opinion.

Ma Tengfei listened to the crackling and dense gunshots, no one was injured at this time, and the other party was also not injured.

But Ma Tengfei could hear that the other party had at least hundreds of guns, and there were only fifteen people and fifteen guns on his side.

"We pestered them, and now they've all stopped, and they can withdraw!"

After Ma Tengfei finished speaking, he immediately beat his horse and left, at this time there was still a mile between them and Cixi's car, but he had already seen the black bull behind him with people carrying machine guns.

Seeing Ma Tengfei withdraw from his side, Hei Niu couldn't help but spit out with disdain, he couldn't see such a treacherous villain as Ma Tengfei.

"If you see it, go over there and set it up!"

The black bull then said to a soldier with a machine gun on his back, the soldier glared at him, obviously not very accepting the tone of the black bull's order, but he still honestly led people to fiddle with the machine gun, after the barrel, rack and even the bullet were loaded, he looked back at the black bull and found that the black bull had also found a place on the other side, and the two machine guns happened to be placed on both sides of the road, forming a crossfire to block the entire section of the road.

"Oops. Where did the bandits come from? ā€

Cixi's exclamation in the palanquin came out.

Shanqi immediately reported: "Don't worry, Lafayette, it's a few horse thieves who have been beaten away by the minions." ā€

Cixi breathed a sigh of relief that he did hear the gunshots stop.

"Since it's a few horse thieves, just send it away, don't be too troublesome, it's better to hurry!"

Cixi still thinks about Yulinburg, because there is food there, and it can even make her forget her fear for a while, as if she will become not afraid of foreigners for the sake of power.

"Lafayette Rong Yu, let the slave go to explore the way!"

Shanqi also knew that Yulin Fort was a must to go, he hadn't eaten for two days, if he didn't go to Yulin Fort to have a full meal, where could he protect Lafayette when he met a horse thief.

Shanqi immediately ordered an officer in a yellow coat to ride forward along the pipeline with more than 30 people.

After watching these people walk forward for a few hundred meters, suddenly a dense burst of gunfire rang out.

Cixi's screams were completely drowned out by the sound of gunfire, and Shanqi was also completely frightened by the sound of gunfire, and he saw that the thirty cavalrymen who rushed over, like cutting wheat, planted their horses one by one, and were killed before they even had time to turn around, and were completely killed when they were moving forward.

"Protect Galeries Lafayette and go back!"

Shanqi shouted, how could he not know that they had touched the foreigner's machine gun.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the machine guns more than a mile away began to extend their firepower, spitting tongues of fire at their side.

Shanqi suddenly saw several cavalry on the left and right, and instantly retreated backwards, not riding back, but flying out upside down, all of them had large and small eye-catching eyes, one eye in front and a hole in the back. Shanqi was about to remind his subordinates when he suddenly felt a pain in his lower back and eyes, then his shoulders, then his legs, and when he noticed that the scenery around him was flying upwards, he and his horse were landing.

This is a good horse rewarded by the Queen Mother!

Shanqi fell to the ground, and before he closed his eyes, he saw half of the head of the loyal minister Wu Yong drooping.

The Makqin water-cooled heavy machine gun manufactured by the Germans is of excellent quality and uses Mauser rifle cartridges, so the firing range is the same as that of the Mauser rifle, which can reach 800 meters, and the machine gun position is only more than a mile away from Cixi's car, at best 600 meters, completely under the fire of heavy machine guns.

And the black bull has not been trained in live ammunition, and it is not that it is difficult to aim on the horse, so the two machine guns immediately became a sharp weapon for harvesting disappointment, if it were not for the heavy rain still falling, some could not see clearly, I am afraid that the effect would be better.

Yang Chao easily transformed the infantry into a battle formation, and slowly moved forward, with a total of three rows of horizontal formations, each platoon of two squads, and twenty people.

Finally walked through the machine-gun position, almost parallel to the machine-gun.

"The first row of sitting shots, the second row of kneeling shots, the third row of direct shots!"

Yang Chao stood next to him and played the role of a commander.

The soldiers in the front row immediately sat down in the mud, the second row knelt on one knee, and the third row stood upright, aiming ahead, pulling the trigger, and then pulling the bolt to continue the design.

After knocking out four or five magazines and draining the entire chain of bullets from the machine gun, Yang Chao saw that there was no movement in front of him.

"Forward!"

Yang Chao then ordered, it was useless to roar, he waved his arms and walked forward by himself at the same time.

The other soldiers followed, but still with bayonets in their hands, in three rows, separated by a foot from each other.

It was not until I walked within a hundred meters that I could see Cixi's car in the rain clearly.

The scene Yang Chao saw was a mess, the cavalry guarding the front was basically dead and wounded, only a small number of survivors on both sides were mostly lying on the ground wailing, and the ones behind had already run away. There were a large number of dead bodies lying on the ground, and there was still a look in front of them, many of them were facing forward, but the further back they went, the less they looked, and those who were shot in the process of running away were lying down and some were lying on their stomachs.

Yang Chao couldn't help but feel a wave of dampness in his heart, he actually felt nausea and vomiting, it was the first time he had seen so many dead people, and they were beaten to death, and it was normal to have this reaction.

I saw that there were still many people lying on the ground, motionless to avoid the rain of bullets, but their buttocks were cocked and shaking.

"These guys are really elves!"

Yang Chao said suddenly, using this to divert his disgust.

At the same time, it was found that the palace maids and eunuchs, especially the palace maids and eunuchs in the back, were also protected by carriages, and there were not many casualties.

"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!"

Yang Chao led the soldiers forward slowly, and suddenly saw that he was hiding alone in the crowd, and he didn't die, and kicked him, and this guy immediately shouted.

Yang Chao asked, "Who are you?" ā€

The man hesitated for a moment: "I'm Li, Li San." For passing merchants, the money is put in the car, and you take it away. Leave a small life to do. ā€

Yang Chao snorted: "A passing business trip? And with so many family members, and female dependents? ā€

The man hurriedly said: "They are all young wives and children, as long as the good man spares the villain's life, the good man will take it away, and these women will be taken away!" ā€

Yang Chao looked at the women lying on the ground, there were nearly 100 people, probably all of them were palace maids in the palace, and they couldn't figure out what to do.

"Zhang Guozhu, lead people to pull out all the living. Pull over there! ā€

Yang Chao shouted to Zhang Guozhu at this time, and picked up a guard's rifle on the ground.

Then he shot the man in the head.

Seeing the white juice gushing out of the back of his head, Yang Chao silently thought in his heart: "Goodbye, Li Lianying and Grand Duke Li!" ā€

A group of people with white faces and beards and delicate bodies don't need to ask if they must be the little eunuchs who are driving, and among this group of little eunuchs, an old eunuch of fifty or sixty years old is not Li Lianying.

Then Yang Chaocai held the gun, in front of him was a sedan chair that fell to the side, and behind him was a carriage rushing over, it seemed that the carriage rushed to the sedan chair in a panic, and the horse had been killed, and the people in the sedan chair were thrown out, one of them had one leg stuck in the car, and half of his body fell outside the car, already dead.

Yang Chao opened this person's clothes and found the yellow dragon robe inside Yang Chao thought that this person was Guangxu, and groped in his arms for a while, and really found a portable seal, a three-inch-high square pillar Tianhuang seal, and found that there were words such as Guangxu on it, confirming that it was Emperor Guangxu. This is definitely not a jade seal, when you are smart and run away, you will not have time to take the jade seal with you, and it is inconvenient to carry the huge jade seal.

After confirming Guangxu's death, Yang Chao sighed slightly in his heart: "Guangxu is dead!" ā€

To be honest, until the moment before the attack, Yang Chao was still struggling, if he captured Cixi and Guangxu alive, what should he do, should he support this emperor who is trying to change the law, if he helps him get rid of Cixi, Guangxu doesn't know if he can do anything, but thinking about the people he uses, Yang Chao feels that this is not an emperor with great talent.

Besides, the first purpose of the many movements set off at the end of the Qing Dynasty was to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to put it bluntly, it was of a national independent nature, and it was impossible to make Guangxu the emperor again. Even Yang Chao is unwilling to accept an emperor who loves the Xinjue Luo family, as for whether there is an emperor in China, whether China will follow the path of empire or republic, Yang Chao does not care at all.

There was also a young man in the carriage, much younger than Guangxu, who was also wearing a robe with a dragon pattern, and a common man's clothes on the outside, probably a powerful person like Agobel.

A total of four pannier chairs, suddenly after the Guangxu pannier sedan chair, the carriage door that was also dead and pulled the carriage fell to the side was opened, and a woman who kowtowed and bled crawled out, and saw the soldiers with guns outside, her face was naturally panicked, but she immediately looked back, and saw that the carriage behind her also turned to the ground, and immediately struggled to run over, and pulled out the body of a teenager, and immediately cried.

"Big brother!"

The dead boy is the eldest brother, then this woman is probably the queen, and the woman who died her son has long forgotten that she is in danger, and she cried vigorously.

Yang Chao sighed, could it be that Cixi and his party, except for a few palace maids and eunuchs, all died?

Cixi is dead.

Yang Chao couldn't help but look at the first sedan chair, this is a large sedan chair carried by a person, the emperor still needs to ride in a carriage with a young man, but Cixi can carry the sedan chair eight times, this emperor should be.

Yang Chao held the gun, opened the sedan curtain, and saw that there was indeed an old lady inside, unlike an ordinary old lady from a peasant family, who looked dry, this old lady had oily wrinkles on her face, in the end, she was the queen mother, even if she was old, she was more blessed than ordinary people. It's just that he looks a lot haggard, and his mouth is a little chapped.

Yang Chao knew that she hadn't eaten much in the past two days, and someone prepared a bowl of gruel and was later given an official, but Cixi's nature couldn't be changed at all, this was an extremely selfish woman, and the inner courtyard of the deep palace had developed a vicious nature.

All the delicacies and delicacies of the mountains and seas that received her were promoted, and those who received badly, such as Tianzhen County Ling Eteng was forced to die, and after arriving in Xi'an, he even held a feast, as if he was not fleeing, but winning the battle, and it was common to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver every day and night.

And not only did he not learn the lesson, but he was relieved to tell the emperor afterwards that if it weren't for this incident, he would not have been able to see the good scenery after walking all the way from Beijing to Xi'an.

Power, enjoy!

Yang Chao knew that this was this woman's only hobby, so she would do whatever it took to kill whoever stood in her way from holding power, the minister, the prince Baylor, and the reformers, none of them were spared, even the emperor she wanted to abolish it, and when she heard the foreigner's note that she handed over her power and returned the government to the emperor, she did not hesitate to declare war on the foreigner.

She loves food, loves to listen to operas, loves landscapes and gardens, as a queen mother, these requirements are not excessive, but let the Beiyang Fleet embezzle funds to build the Summer Palace for her, use the money to buy cannons to give her a birthday, and threaten the minister, whoever makes her unhappy for a while, she will let whoever is unhappy for the rest of her life, to this extent is too much.

But this is not the most important, the most important thing is that this woman, there are no ordinary people in her heart, let alone a country, as soon as the foreigners agreed to negotiate, they immediately wagged their tails and begged for mercy, declaring that they would satisfy the foreigners at all costs. ā€

Such a strange thing is now smashed to pieces, but the miraculous thing is that there is no wound on her body, not even a single bullet from the machine gun fire hits her body.

Yang Chao couldn't help but be amazed, and after observing it, he found that Cixi's luck was really good, after his palanquin was knocked down by the carriage, the bottom of the carriage just turned over, blocking most of the bullets, and the bullets from 600 meters away could no longer penetrate this solid wood that was several inches thick.

"Galeries Lafayette is auspicious!"

After Yang Chao saw the dizzy old lady slowly open her eyes, he said with a kind smile, as if he was really asking the Empress Dowager Cixi for peace.

Lafayette finally saw Yang Chao, his expression was a little confused, and his mind probably hadn't reacted yet.

"What kid are you?"

Cixi asked inexplicably.

Yang Chao smiled: "I am a child of the Yang family. ā€

Cixi nodded: "Yang family? But the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Yang-"

Yang Chao interrupted him and said, "No! ā€

Cixi said again: "Then who are?" ā€

Yang Chao didn't want to talk nonsense with this old lady, and shouted: "Lafayette, the foreigners have called." ā€

Cixi was taken aback: "Hurry up and escort, escort!" ā€

Yang Chao shook his head: "I can't protect it, the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Three Kingdoms haven't come, how can I protect it?" Can't protect it! ā€

Cixi said: "Then quickly pack up your things and let Li Lianying escort the mourning family out of the palace." ā€

Yang Chao said: "Lafayette, can we die Sheji?" ā€

Cixi said: "You foolish child, the dead society is also the emperor's dead society, I am a lonely old woman, I can't die." ā€

Yang Chao said: "Then let's fight a good war and beat the foreign soldiers away?" ā€

Cixi said: "Silly boy, that foreign soldier is so easy to beat away?" The mourners used the Boxers to scare them, who knew that this foreigner was dead-hearted! ā€

"Scare them?"

Yang Chao couldn't help sneering, he didn't know if Cixi was pretending to be confused or really confused.

But there is one thing Cixi is not wrong, she is doing this farce everywhere, just like a child, she treats herself as a child, and also treats foreigners as children? I just want to scare foreigners and make them not so arrogant.

"Lafayette, I want you not to be happy today!"

Yang Chao Hei Dongdong's muzzle pointed at Cixi, remembering that Cixi said that who made her unhappy for a day, and who she made her unhappy for the rest of her life.

"Good boy, you can't kill the mourning family, you can give whatever mourning family you want. The mourning family asked you to be the minister of Beiyang and let you join the military plane. It's okay for the mourning family to let you be the emperor! ā€

This old guy was really pretending to be confused, Yang Chao secretly screamed in his heart, Yang Chao had long imagined that he had killed Cixi, and shouted 'The old witch is here' or something, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was quickly brought into her words by Cixi and was taken away by her.

She is good at this, a little calculation, a little caution, with the help of the woman who used to be the old emperor, the little emperor's mother, stunned to let Su Shun be a minister who cares for his life, let the iron hat king like Devil Liu, let Li Hongzhang be an officialdom fox, let Guangxu be a stunned emperor, all of them are helpless against her, and can only be at her mercy again and again.

"It's that simple!"

With a headshot, seeing Cixi with wide-eyed, panicked expression, and feces and urine, Yang Chao secretly said in his heart.

It's as simple as killing Cixi, but the ministers who care about their lives, the devil six, the emperor, the Restoration Party, and Li Hongzhang are all moved by this old lady one by one, and they are played obediently, in fact, where is there so much trouble, and it will not be over if you knock it down directly with one shot.

As the saying goes, if you are willing to cut off your body, you dare to pull the emperor off the horse, but unfortunately these princes and nobles, one by one, want to compete for power, but also do not want to lose their glory and wealth.

It's just that Cixi's identity, her little conspiracy, and little tricks don't work for Yang Chao.

Suddenly, Yang Chao felt that it didn't seem so reliable to count on Li Hongzhang's group of people to save the country.

So after the death of Cixi and Guangxu, where will the situation in China go, and will the great powers carve up China?
