Chapter 210: Trying to Escape

Wu Guang's eyes were bloodshot after staying up for two days and two nights, and the news that came from the south three hours ago was that his men had laid an ambush around Lingyin Temple, and when Emperor Guangxu passed there, he would give him a fatal blow.

info Wu Guang clutched a German-made gold-shelled pocket watch tightly in his hand, and three hours passed, and time was more ruthless than war at this time.

"Hangzhou Telegraph!"

The communications corps came in and reported.

"After an hour of fighting, Emperor Guangxu ambushed him, and more than half of our personnel were killed and wounded, but they all retreated."

Wu Guang was so excited that he almost shed tears, Guangxu was the biggest stumbling block, which meant that it was only a matter of time before the Qing Dynasty changed its name, and without Guangxu's leadership in the future, those ministers under him would become headless flies, and they would only fly around, and now half of the strength of the Northwest Group Army is in their own hands, as long as the master gives an order, his own soldiers will be able to take the northwest region in less than half a month, and then wave his army to the east and smash Huanglong.

However, he quickly forced himself to calm down, judging from past experience, Guangxu is not a simple-minded person, it is impossible to be plotted so easily, this time it is our fortune and prosperity, or he is negligent.

"Immediately telegraph the news to Beijing."

There is no need to think about the reasons for these boredoms now, the priority is to keep in touch with Beijing and get the next plan of action from the master.

Soon got a reply from there, only a short eight words: "Shao'an is not impatient, wait for the opportunity." ”

Wu Guang pondered the meaning of the eight words, Beijing must not be at ease, to continue to observe the movement of Hangzhou, or the master thinks far.

In the next half a day, the good news from Hangzhou came one after another, and Wu Guang became more and more firm in the judgment that the emperor was dead, and he sent another telegram to Beijing, asking for the time to send troops, and the reply there was still only eight words: Shao'an is not impatient, wait for the opportunity.

Wu Guang couldn't help but be suspicious, what did he mean, did he want to stabilize me first, and then swallow the fruits of victory by himself?

When he first met the alliance, he swore that if the big things were done in the future, he would be Huang Taiji, and he would be Wu Sangui himself, and jointly rule the world, but now that the thorn in his eye has been removed, what is he waiting for?

The news of the assassination of the emperor Hangzhou soon spread to the capital, some well-informed ministers came to find Peng Yulin, the small military aircraft department was overcrowded, before Guan Xuqing's southern tour, he specially ordered Peng Yulin and Kang Youwei, who he relied on the most, to stay in Beijing to supervise the country, Kang Youwei had followed the edict to Henan for disaster relief and did not return, and Peng Yulin was overwhelmed by the big and small things in Beijing.

Without figuring out the truth of the matter, he personally clarified to the ministers that the emperor was doing business as usual in Hangzhou and should not listen to rumors.

A day later, the Ministry of War suddenly sent an order, saying that the south was rebelling against the party and causing rebellion, and ordered Wu Guang to lead his division to the south on the same day to quell the rebellion, and send another elite division to quickly march east to defend Gyeonggi.

Wu Guang was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood for this strange order, and immediately gathered his cronies and generals to hold a secret military meeting to officially announce the news of Guangxu's ambush, and also read several telegrams from Hangzhou in the hands of everyone, and then waited for everyone's reaction.

"Nie Shicheng's old dog has long been hollowed out by us, the army in his hands is full of more than three divisions, and the elite troops are in our hands, so now is the right time to send troops."

Ni Cong, the commander of the 39th Division, had a fiery temper, and like Wu Guang, he thought that he had made outstanding achievements, but he was not reused by the imperial court, and he was full of resentment towards the emperor.

As soon as he heard that he was going to raise troops, he was the first to respond.

The rest of the people were also impassioned, and as soon as Emperor Guangxu died, each of them unloaded the jack gate in their hearts, and they were full of confidence in this military advice.

"Then it's decided, after you go back, immediately mobilize the armaments and generals, I have found someone to see, tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, when the time comes, the troops will be divided into two routes, the thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, and thirty-ninth divisions will follow me eastward into Beijing, and the remaining three divisions will be led by Ni Cong to go south and occupy the areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangzhou, especially the arsenals and shipyards.

Wu Guang's gestures and gaze carried a strong confidence.

In front of the gate of the Hangzhou Palace, there were more than a dozen machine guns and mortars, and Luo Ming's guard regiment was holding a new Mauser rifle, looking serious and nervous, and Xu Bangdao sent a division of troops to block the streets in front of the palace.

The palace is guarded by a Royal Forest Army every few steps, and the further you go inside, the more troops are guarded.

In the emperor's bedroom, there were only more than a dozen people kneeling on the ground, such as Feng Xianghua, Luo Ming, Xu Bangdao, Huang Feihong, Huo Yuanjia, Dadao Wang Wu, and Yanzi Li San, all of whom were said to be the emperor's most trusted and relied on subordinates.

"The slave deserves to die, it's because the slave is not well protected, so that the chaotic party has a chance, please ask the emperor to punish the crime."

Luo Ming, a man who has always been iron-clad, burst into tears at this time.

"The minister is guilty!"

Feng Xianghua and the rest of the people kowtowed together to ask for sin.

"Get up."

A person turned out from behind the golden curtain, and it was Guan Xuqing.

None of the people present dared to get up, not even raise their heads.

"Jiang Chaozong's news was delivered in time! The Assassins sent by Wu Guang had already arrived in Hangzhou, and they had plenty of time to prepare, but fortunately I had been on guard beforehand. Luo Ming, at the foot of Feilai Peak, the sedan chair I was riding on was shot into a hornet's nest, when you opened the sedan door, I was still sitting in the sedan chair, don't you think it's strange? ”

Guan Xuqing walked to Luo Ming's side and gently stroked his shoulder and said.

"Slaves deserve death!"

Luo Ming's whole body trembled, and his face almost touched the ground.

"That sedan chair is specially made for me by the Hanyang Arsenal, and the 120 mm special steel plate can't penetrate even the machine gun. A small sedan chair was carried by thirty people, and not only did the assassins not notice, but even you, the head of the guard regiment, did not notice. ”

Guan Xuqing's hand pressed heavily on Luo Ming's shoulder as he spoke.

"Slaves are overlooked, slaves are ......"

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Luo Ming's forehead.

Feng Xianghua and the others kowtowed again: "The ministers are negligent, please ask the emperor to punish the crime." ”

"That's it, let's all be even."

Guan Xuqing waved his hand, and everyone stood up timidly.

"Wu Guang's rebels also underestimate me too much, they think they are cleverly disguised, and if I use a little trick, won't they all be exposed?"

"What does the emperor mean is that it is false to go to Lingyin Temple to worship the heavens, and it is true to draw out assassins? If it weren't for the emperor's clever plan, the minions would almost have caused a catastrophe. ”

Feng Xianghua deserved to have been by the emperor's side for a long time, and he immediately sniffed out the sound of Guan Xuqing's words, and really admired this master from the bottom of his heart.

"This play is far from finished, just two hundred assassins came to Hangzhou with light and heavy weapons, and our people didn't even notice it, don't you think it's strange?"

Guan Xuqing's brows tightened, the seriousness of this problem was even more terrifying than the assassination.

"The emperor means that there are moles around us?"

Luo Ming asked boldly.

"Please ask the emperor to give an edict, the slave will arrest Sun Shixiong, the dog thief, and ask him, even if he is not a traitor, he must be asked for the crime of negligence."

Xu Bangdao has always been straightforward and fast-talking, and he is not good at figuring out the holy will, and expounding his thoughts and dishes.

"Sun Shixiong is not a traitor, if he were, he would not honestly hand over his son to me, and this matter is not as simple as arresting one or two people."

"The minions have already interrogated the assassins, and they admit that they were sent by Wu Guang, but when they ask their comrades again, they can't tell whether they are alive or dead, it's really annoying!"

Luo Ming gritted his teeth and said.

"These assassins are just minor characters, and of course they don't know anything else. Xianghua immediately sent a secret telegram to Beijing, saying that I had been assassinated today. ”

Guan Xuqing said firmly, his tone irrefutable.

"The Emperor's ......"

Feng Xianghua and the others knelt down together, unable to guess what the emperor's purpose was in doing this.

"Don't make a fuss, if I don't do this, how can I let Wu Guang comply, and more importantly, I want to lead out the mastermind behind the rebellion, I want to know who this person is! Do you remember that before my southern tour, Shi Duo and others openly launched a rebellion, more than 1,000 people dared to rush into the palace to seize my seat, and the troops from all over the country did not come for a long time, since then, I suspect that there must be one of the biggest masterminds behind these people, this person is not only a close minister around me, but also has a large number of troops in his hands. ”

Guan Xuqing's face was daunting.

In addition, the idea was to try to get the rebel radio out of the Assassin's mouth* and send a message to Wuguang in the northwest in the tone of an Assassin, saying that the assassination plan was successful. Only in this way can we lead them into submission, and when they send out their troops in a big way, they will be caught in my carefully prepared ...... Are the troops sent to Chongqing, Chengdu, Zhengzhou, etc. in place? ”

Guan Xuqing asked Feng Xianghua.

"It's all in place."

"Send a secret telegram to Nie Shicheng and Jiang Chaozong, telling them to observe the movements of Wu Guang's army at any time, and as long as the rebels are dispatched, they will immediately lead their men and horses to pursue them from behind. At the same time, the troops in ambush in Chongqing and other places were called to intercept it. Under the attack of more than 100,000 troops, Wu Guang had to be squeezed into a pie even if he was an iron plate. ”

"Wait!"

Wang Shang was about to go out after receiving the order, but was stopped by Guan Xuqing.

"Then send a secret telegram to Dong Liang, Lu Yiwei, and Liu Mingchuan, telling them to firmly control the army in their own hands and strictly prevent people from causing trouble and mutiny. Quickly transfer Zhang Yu's 59th Division to Tongzhou, and wait for my orders at any time. ”

"Wow!"

"Kneel down."

After everyone left, Guan Xuqing paced in the room, thinking about whether there were any loopholes in his plan, Jingfen hurriedly ran in, with tears on her face: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that you met an assassin......

"It's nothing, it's just that I met a few little thieves who don't have long eyes, you see, isn't it good for me? Quickly wipe away your tears, and if you continue to cry like this, the beauty will become a big cat. ”

Jingfen burst into tears and laughed, hugging the emperor tightly, for fear that she would lose the whole world as soon as she let go.
