CHAPTER XXVII

Beijing, Forbidden City.

Cixi listened to the news that Zai Yi told her, the news she had heard several times, but she still couldn't help but smile. How many years has this been? Since the beginning of the First Opium War, my Great Qing Kingdom has been beaten by foreigners. Later, even Oriental little Japan was able to ride on the necks of the Manchurians and.

As the actual ruler of this old empire, Cixi she has also been confused, scared, and worked hard, over the years, my Great Qing Kingdom has established so many arsenals and done so many foreign affairs, but how can it still be beaten down by the little Japanese devils in the end? Well, she thought about letting the Beiyang Army and the Japanese lose both, but unfortunately in the end, it was the agency that was too clever and mistook Qingqing's life.

The fact of the defeat and the consequent Treaty of Shimonoseki took another big step forward in the collapse of the empire. What is being kept full of notices is purely inertia, and as far as the eye can see, there are anti-thieves everywhere, or potential anti-thieves.

Finally, finally, now that there is finally such a big victory, does it mean that my Great Qing Kingdom has begun to rise again?

"King Duanjun," Cixi said to Zai Yi very kindly, "I heard that the Black Dragon Black Dragon Society," Cixi's brows furrowed slightly, "I heard that the Black Dragon Society was grabbed by you." Very good, this is a very good thing to do in the Qing Dynasty, and it is said that the officers and soldiers are afraid of foreigners, and foreigners are afraid of the common people. I think that's the reason. ”

"What you said is the Queen Mother," Zai Yi said: "How many foreigners are there, and how many ordinary people are there, even if a hundred ordinary people die to kill a foreigner, then they can kill all the foreigners." ”

"King Duanjun is really a sensible person," Cixi asked someone to bring some snacks and tea, and then continued: "At the critical moment, we are still full of people who can be trusted." How many people are there in that black dragon black, and which prince Baylor is in charge of each department? ”

"This," Zai Yi said, how did he know that the one who dealt with him the most was the old talent Xu Yuanhua. As for the Black Dragon Society, he didn't have any more knowledge except that there were many people and many guns. But this illness doesn't prevent him from talking nonsense/

"The Black Dragon Society, the people in charge of all the departments are the leaders of the various families on the ground under my direct subordination, and the methods of training the troops are also the methods passed down by Zeng Wenzhenggong. It turned out that Wen Zhenggong relied on this method to exterminate the long hair, and now the Black Dragon Society relies on it to fight foreigners. ”

"Oh, that means that this black dragon will also take the path of group training?" Cixi's heart moved, if this is the case, she has to hold this black dragon in her hand. She is very familiar with these regimental training ministers, Zeng Zuo Li Hu in front, Zhang Zhidong in the back, Yuan Shikai, which one is not played by her in the palm of her hand? She believed that with a slight effort, she could make the newly emerging black dragon obediently obey her orders.

"Well, then let them call that Yangyi something?"

"Lafayette, it's called Seymour." Father-in-law Zhang, who was waiting on the side, lost no time in reminding in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, it's the one named Seymour, let them escort him to the capital, and then send someone to tell those foreigners that we have knowledge in hand. Let them retire. ”

Have hostages in hand to let the foreigners retreat?

This, is this the imperial court or a den of bandits? Zai Yi couldn't cry or laugh, he was not a prince who was completely unreasonable, but now that Cixi was on the rise, he couldn't sweep her up. After thinking about it, he said, "Then the Black Dragon Society has fought such a big victory, how should it be rewarded?" ”

"Well, let them come up with a merit first, and give them a reward of 3,000 taels of silver, and tell them that as long as they repel the foreigners, they will not hesitate to reward the prince."

Yes, he gave 3,000 taels of silver, and he still wanted to let the family work in vain?

Zai Yi is in a dilemma, but whether his son can sit firmly in the position of the eldest brother and whether he can take a step further from the position of the eldest brother depends on the color of this woman. So he still agreed to it. It's a big deal, I'll promise them that the black dragon will act cheaply.

After Xu Yuanhua ended the negotiation of the 26 Boxer Alliances led by Cao Futian and hurried to the Duanjun Palace, Zai Yi slowly and methodically explained the rewards of the imperial court.

Xu Yuanhua was dumbfounded, this Xiucai who had been in various cults in the countryside for most of his life couldn't help but make friends, "Lord Wang, this can't be done like this." ”

"Eh", Zai Yi has always been an idealess, that is, after Cixi recently established his son Pu Jun as the eldest brother, he was enthusiastic about the affairs of the government and the opposition. His favorite thing to do in the past was to wander in the teahouses and restaurants in the streets and alleys, drinking big bowls of tea while listening to the commentary. He naturally knew that if the zombies in front of him won the battle, and there was no shortage of rewards in the back, it would be easy to cause a mutiny. Didn't the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty often do this?

The idea of letting the horses run and not letting the horses graze was already unreliable to him. But, hey, how can I say this thing, I can't say that in order to make my son the emperor, you should work harder, and then kill a few more foreign devils.

"That's it," Zai Yi said with his hand twisting his beard, "Wait a minute, I'll write you a note, you can take it cheaply, and this king will carry everything for you." ”

"So, what if someone doesn't listen?"

Zai Yi narrowed his eyes, "If you don't listen, you will collude with foreigners and want to corrupt the military hearts of patriotic soldiers such as us." When you encounter such people, this king allows you to cut first and then play! “

Zai Yi, who has listened to this storytelling too much, unconsciously said the lines in the play.

Chop before play? Xu Yuanhua took the note written by Zai Yi to him, and said secretly in his heart: Yes, you are also an unreliable master. casually said all this kind of thing, you are not the emperor yet. Besides, when the big leader gets this kind of thing, isn't it going to kill him?

Thinking about the coming bloody storm, Xu Yuanhua felt inexplicably excited!

Those guys are usually high up on the top, and they won't even open their eyes to look at us, and now, you have to bear it.

Xu Yuanhua, who had been admitted to Xiucai, was supposed to be called the hospital of the country's ruling class, but after a defeat in the examination room, his family changed dramatically, and in the end he could only cheat some guys who had never seen the world out of their money in the countryside. If it was a peaceful season, maybe he would have accepted his fate, but isn't this the time for chaos in the world? I can't say it, he, Xu Yuanhua, is about to come and go. And the key to all this is that this troubled world must become more chaotic.
