Chapter 167: The capital is not having a good time

Zhang Tianfang confidently and boldly accepted all the silver taels given to him by Kang Youwei in front of many soldiers, although he agreed to Kang Youwei in high spirits, but after turning around and leaving, he handed over these silver taels to the commander of the military police company of their regiment intact.

What is the most effective way to prevent bribery in the world? The answer is definitely to collect money and do nothing, once or twice may be able to deceive the person concerned, but who will be stupid to send money if there are too many times? Moreover, everyone in the officialdom knows that the money and other things they receive privately must be handed over to the prescribed organs, otherwise they will face a catastrophe.

Wang Lin's management of corruption and bribery can be described as extremely strict, even similar to the discipline of the military police, in the officialdom, you can make mistakes, and even you can be a little ignorant at some times, because everyone can not make a mistake once in a lifetime, not be ignorant once, these are excusable, but also forgivable, but for corruption and bribery, Wang Lin not only ruthlessly dealt with all the officials under his control, and even did not want to let go of a corrupt and bribe-taking official.

[***] will destroy a country, this kind of thing must not be allowed to appear in Wang Lin's hands, at least let them form a habit while Wang Lin is still there, so as to completely change this bad problem.

Kang Youwei and the others stood on the side of the road and looked at the figures of the Zhengnan Army that flashed by one by one, and their hearts were even more desolate, and now he could only just do it and wait, if Wang Lin had the intention of negotiating, then he would have contacted the Qing court a few days ago to discuss the negotiation, but Wang Lin did not.

Now Kang Youwei took the initiative to negotiate with Wang Lin, met the soldiers traveling on the road, and wanted to inform Wang Lin of the news through their internal contacts, but he didn't expect to be pushed back and refused to help. As for this Zhang Tianfang, he is too fond of greedy for money, and what he promised is too smooth, this is a little bad feeling in Kang Youwei's heart.

"Who, you stand and wait, I have already told the location above, if they want to negotiate or something, they will send someone to pick you up." Zhang Tianfang followed the team and ran forward hurriedly, his company was already out of his sight.

"Thank you, officer, for your help." Kang Youwei bowed to Zhang Tianfang with both hands and fists.

Zhang Tianfang ignored Kang Youwei, but continued to speed up the pace to catch up with his company, the infantry is not as comfortable as the armored soldiers, at least the march does not have to walk, Zhang Tianxin has wanted to transfer to the armored troops several times, but unfortunately in the end because he was reluctant to the traditional branch of the infantry, so he did not leave.

Zhang Tianfang's figure gradually disappeared in the eyes of Kang Youwei and others, and at this time, Kang Youwei's eyes were not filled with hope, nor longing, but with some desperate eyes.

"A group of deflated only sons, a bird of negotiations, Lao Tzu only remembered to negotiate when he went to Yanjing? My head was squeezed by the door to negotiate with you. Zhang Tianfang talked to himself softly as he ran.

Fortunately, the higher-level unit issued a notice in advance, and whenever you encounter the Qing court, you will be tactful when you say that you are here to negotiate, don't let people feel that there is no play, and don't let them feel that there is a play, in short, it is a drag, and when Yanjing is defeated, the Qing court has just received the news of the negotiation due to communication problems. At least it doesn't leave anyone with any leverage.

Although it is convenient and useful to blindly use violence to solve problems, it is only a temporary convenience and trouble, and it is not conducive to the development of a country in the long run. Therefore, the first way that Wang Lin thought of when he encountered something was not to solve it by force, but to consider how to solve it in a peaceful way, of course, there is no peace in front of the real strong, the so-called peace in Wang Lin's heart is nothing more than a conspiracy, and when it is really impossible to solve, it is not too late to solve it by force.

"Hey!" Kang Youwei shook his head helplessly.

"Why does Lord Kang sigh? Didn't the officer just say that? They will send someone to pick us up, and the Qing Dynasty is still saved, it must be the immortals of the ancestors and ancestors. A member of the royal family stood behind Kang Youwei, who had a gloomy face, but now he gradually regained some smiles, as if the restoration of their Manchu dynasty was just around the corner.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Kang Youwei said twice in a row, it's okay.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he feels that he has something to say to them that it is simply playing the piano to the cow, there are a lot of Manchu ministers, and there are a lot of people who are desolate and unbridled, but this is not all, but there are also a few ministers who are more sensible, and they also have a number in their hearts to see what they do.

All the capable ones have run away, and all the ones who can't have them have been stuffed into the negotiation team, and the entire negotiation team still maintains a complete train of thought, I'm afraid that only Kang Youwei is alone, look at these people behind him, one by one, they are not the eunuchs who only know how to serve their masters, or the princes and nobles who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and tease birds and crickets and flirt with women from good families, and want them to negotiate together? Not to mention such a major national event, I am afraid that they will not be able to handle even an ordinary incident.

However, these people were all stuffed by the emperor himself, what can he say? What could he say? Now that the emperor has dismissed many ministers, there are only a few people who can be used under him, so where can he go to find those people who can come up with ideas? Zhang Zhidong is good, but he was captured when Wang Lin attacked for the first time, and although he was released later, Zhang Zhidong returned to his hometown and did not want to take care of everything in the world.

"It's okay, Master Kang is the one in our group who wants to do the right thing, you can't be without confidence, otherwise if we really fall in the Qing Dynasty, we will see how the ancestors and ancestors clean you up." The member of the royal family pointed at Kang Youwei with a slight threat.

Kang Youwei clenched his fists and bowed again and again, saying that he didn't dare to dare. However, in his heart, he scolded this group of people half to death, and he also completely despaired of this country, but he was still full of confidence, and he felt complete despair in less than an hour, and such a fast speed undoubtedly came from the attitude of the soldiers of the Zhengnan Army towards the negotiation.

Kang Youwei also tasted the sweet, sour, bitter and salty in his heart at this time, but what can he do? I must not tell this group of people my thoughts, otherwise I will be scolded half to death by them before I see Wang Lin, and in the end I can only stand here, stupidly waiting for the people who came to meet them according to the words of the Zhengnan Army.

Since Wang Lin is unwilling to negotiate, how can he still have the face to go back and meet the saint? If the Zhengnan army really attacked Yanjing City, I would only die to repay the grace of the saint's knowledge.

Half a day later, there was really a truck to pick up Kang Youwei and the others, but after putting them in the county seat, they were strictly guarded, and the response was that this was to protect the life safety of the negotiation team, and at this time they were also trying their best to report the news, but the way of communication was a little cumbersome, and the speed was also a little slow, so they had to wait patiently for a few days.

The members of the negotiation team were very happy to wait like this, and they were not in a hurry at all, but Kang Youwei was the only one who waited anxiously in his heart, although he already knew that there was little hope, but he still had to wait, he couldn't retreat halfway and do something sorry for the saint.

For five days in a row, Kang Youwei and others were locked up in rooms for the whole day, and several people ate and slept in their own houses all the time, but the Zhengnan army responded that this was because they were afraid that they would not be used to living in Datongpu, so they specially arranged a single room, although the conditions were not as good as those in the capital, but they were not very bad, at least better than the food and accommodation of the marching troops.

Outside Yanjing City, a group of troops of the Southern Army rushed here one after another, and finally the soldiers came to Yanjing City, which was originally vigorous and full of vitality and was a paradise in everyone's hearts, but now it was shrouded in a breath of war, and the atmosphere of war was tightly pressed in the hearts of everyone in Yanjing City.

Panic, helplessness, madness, this state filled almost everyone's head, and for a while, the number of crimes in Yanjing City suddenly soared, and the Boxers who were supposed to completely disappear in the Eight-Nation Alliance incident finally retained their last trace of strength in Yanjing City because of Wang Lin's interference.

At this time, the people who committed the most crimes in Yanjing City belonged to the Boxers, and there was still pressure from the government in Pingshu, although they were also committing crimes, but they were not as happy as they are now, the war was imminent, and the city was broken in the blink of an eye, and the officials did not know where to run for their lives, who still had the kung fu to manage the lives of the people in the city?

Burning, killing, looting, looting, one by one the Boxers smashed open the doors of the people's homes, frantically rushed into the house, killed people when they saw them, robbed them when they saw money, and wiped out silver when they saw women, one by one like demons who had just come out of hell, completely losing their minds.

"Big brother, the brothers have been happy enough these days, the Praetorian Guards in the Forbidden City are also closed to the city gates, and they have never opened the city gates for several days, and those Praetorian Guards seem to be frightened a lot, why don't we take the opportunity to enter the Forbidden City, and also experience the feeling of getting off the dragon chair by the way, maybe that Wang Lin saw that we had a merit in capturing Yanjing, and gave us some fame or fortune." A man lay a little obscene in front of another man with a bitter face.

Ni Zanqing felt a pang of depression in his heart, the Boxer Rebellion had completely violated the meaning of its formation at this point, and due to the rapid increase in personnel, a large part of the regiment members did not obey the instructions of their superiors, but blindly used the reputation of the Boxers to do evil. Attacking the palace Ni Zanqing will never agree, no matter what, he can't let this group of people enter the palace, otherwise he Ni Zanqing will be a national sinner, and he can't afford this infamy.

Ni Zanqing, who was supposed to die in 1902, did not die, and the figure who created the victory in Langfang has now become the only leader of the Nominal Peace Regiment.

"Big brother, I don't think it'...... like this"
