Chapter 59: The Wind Rises (2)
Not far from the Nanyuan military camp in Yanjing City, there is a small village, which is also a royal village. However, the imperial system of the Qing Dynasty had collapsed as early as the Jiadao period. The head of the village occupied the land, but if he didn't hand over the offerings of the emperor's village, the Qing emperor couldn't do anything. These village heads are either red belts, at least, or which prince's house slaves are recommended by a big face. Anyway, it is a loss to continue to operate, so it is better to simply pinch your nose and admit the actions of these domestic slaves who occupy the royal property.
Ten years have passed, and who can still tell who this Zhuangzi belongs to. However, since these days, this little Zhuangzi has become a bit mysterious. It turned out that there were no more than a dozen village households, and they took a lot of silver, and God knows where they moved. A few days ago, a convoy came in the middle of the night, and I don't know how many things were brought in.
During the daytime, the remnants of winter have not disappeared, and before the time to plow, there are always a hundred and ten strong men outside the Zhuangzi, who are far away, making a look of picking dung in the field. Not far from the official road, there were soldiers and officials, and they stared at it deadly, while secretly passing the news back. If any of the people does not have long eyes to go here, they will find an excuse to drive you away. Having said that, the people are willing to touch these 100 strong men who don't look right. As for the official face, let's not talk about what the chaos is now, who has the heart to find the hair of the crops' brains. Even if there is a public who feels that something is wrong here, the yamen who should be in charge above always has something to hand over: "Eat white rice and be idle, which side is cool and which side to stay, now in this world, peace is a blessing!" ”
This Zhuangzi is the current base camp of the incense altar in the incense sect, and the residence where the old man Han often comes and goes. At night, I don't know how many fast horses swept over the Zhili Plain, bringing news from all over the world. After two or three years of mixing with Xu Yifan, I have learned some of Xu Yifan's ability to concentrate on the overall situation. Because of this, compared to the time and space from which Xu Yifan came from, this history is now more organized - in other words, once it erupts, it may be more harmful!
Han Zhongping, the god of wealth in the north, is seventy years old, and these words, in the wind and cold, are in Yanjing City, Nanyuan Barracks, and here are not afraid of hard work. Today is also the star in the sky, and he hurried over in a carriage from Yanjing City. When he arrived outside Zhuangzi, the genius was a little bright, not far from Zhuangzi, and along the way, people began to ask in the dark: "What kind of person!" ”
It was Zhang Yu who drove the car, and during this time, he never left Han Zhongping's side for half a step. When the old man went out, he drove himself as a driver. Like Xu Yifan's side, this peerless master still has a gloomy face forever, as if there is nothing in this world in the past and will not be anything that can make him a little happy.
Every time he asked, he replied in a low voice: "Our Lady has incense under the incense, go back, be on guard!" Hearing his voice, the people on guard in the shadows retreated silently, but a whistle that transmitted the message sounded in the cold dawn air and passed straight into the Zhuangzi.
This carriage is a good horse-drawn carriage with a foreign-style steel wire wheel. In addition, Zhang Yu drove the four healthy horses like his arms and fingers, and ran fast. When the people in the Zhuangzi got the message from the whistle and came out, the carriage also arrived at the door of the Zhuangzi!
In the past few days, this little Zhuangzi has added a wooden wall, and there are corner towers everywhere. If you look closer, you can still see the occasional reflection of the barrel of the foreign gun. The people who greeted him were all sturdy men, all wearing black cloth cotton jackets, and they were neatly tied. Although the waist is also tied with a red belt with a gossip pattern that represents the identity of the incense sect. But that quiet, neat and capable demeanor, where is the slightest hint of the scattered smell of incense altars everywhere! If Xu Yifan was here, he would probably have to laugh. These people are all the sons of Da Sheng Kui who have been trained under him, and after leaving the Praetorian Guard for so long, they still haven't lost their true qualities as soldiers!
Zhang Yu's hands were everywhere, and the four healthy horses almost stood tall. Eat the strength of his sideways and pull the reins so hard that he can't jump, and his hind hooves dig hard to stand up. Every healthy horse was sweating profusely, and his hair was wet and shiny. I really don't know how to fly this way to rush over, the old man is so old, and he can stand the hard work of this kind of bumps!
Several people rushed to the door of the car to set up a footstand, and they were about to go in and help the old man down. As a result, the car door opened from the inside, and the old man came out of the car with a blue face. Through the morning light, he couldn't see the usual tired and old state on him, and his eyes were really shining. The hem of the robe was also lifted up and tied into the belt, and he jumped out of the car by himself without being helped, and glanced around: "What about Venerable Yan Shuqin?" ”
One of his subordinates replied respectfully: "Venerable Yan just rushed back, this time I went to Yanqing, and then accompanied Yanqing to enter the camp, I worked the road for more than ten days, it is said that the entertainment is heavy, and I haven't slept much." I hurried here at the call of my grandfather, and when I entered Zhuangzi, I took off my clothes and went to the kang, but now I am afraid that I will still be asleep............"
Han Zhongping glanced at his subordinates coldly: "Call him back, how can there be no important matter, he can still take off his clothes and sleep on the kang!" Then he waved his hand: "Take me to him!" ”
Seeing Han Zhongping's demeanor trying his best to curb his anxiety, he didn't dare to say anything if he wanted to persuade him to rest and take a breath first, so he silently helped him towards a small courtyard where Yan Shuqin was staying.
In the village, there are also most of the children of Da Sheng Kui wearing black cloth cotton jackets. In the open field, dozens of Mikawa fast horses were tethered. In the courtyard, there are stacks of goods covered in linoleum felt. Look at the shape under the tarpaulin, the long square, I'm afraid it's not a box of foreign guns and new foreign bullets! Some of the children of Zhuangzhong showed a corner of the linoleum felt, and the Russian on the wooden box inside was exposed. Needless to say, this is a Russian weapon obtained by Da Shengkui by taking advantage of their unique trade routes to Outer Mongolia and Russia!
After a while, the old man Han and the others arrived at the small courtyard at the south end of Zhuangzi, pushed the door in, and went straight to the east wing. Pushing open the door, Yan Shuqin was stripped naked and shrunk on the kang and fell asleep. The clothes of this Venerable are piled on the feet of the kang, and the belt is on top of the pile of clothes, but it is not the red belt of the gossip pattern of the Xiangjiao, but a plum-red silk belt, and the horns can also be used as a sweat towel. I don't know which bitch got it wrong.
The anger in Old Man Han's eyes flashed, and he stood at the door and coughed heavily: "Venerable Yan, my old man is here!" Why are you still bedridden? ”
The old man's voice was so loud at this time, Yan Shuqin was alarmed, hummed and opened his eyes to calm down, then turned over and sat up: "Old man, you are here!" What's the dawn? Yanqing is really tired of this trip! ”
At this time, Old Man Han had a smile on his face, pointed to the plum red belt and smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry...... It seems that during this trip to Yanqing, Venerable Yan did not gain nothing, and he also had a confidant? ”
Yan Shuqin glanced at it and said arrogantly: "What confidant? A bitch in Gaobeidian doesn't look good, but she has good white meat and can toss it............ Speaking of Liu's nephew, they entertained them very well, Yanqing County took the wind, accompanied them along the way to the camp, passed through the county and town, and ate and drank at night............ Twenty years of incense in the wind and rain, that is, these words are a little more comfortable! ”
Han Zhongping's face did not move: "Yanqing standard is available?" ”
Yan Shuqin smiled and said, "Old man, don't you have people in Lixiangtang who follow?" It's called diligence! I can't wait to even take a look at other people's thatched houses............ Haven't you gotten the news sooner? This standard really has to be used, fifteen hundred strong boys. A man named Ge Qitai is Liu Da's nephew's deputy, hey, what a live Zhang Fei! What kind of big array, such a man can also rush in and out! Liu Dazi and this Ge Qitai both patted their chests, saying that it doesn't matter if the fucking two emperors are round or flat, they rely on who they get up and they have a good idea in their hearts, as long as my surname Yan is a word, in the water and fire, the frowning brows are raised by my little mother! ”
Han Zhong listened quietly, and suddenly interjected: "...... Isn't there also a deputy with a surname? ”
Yan Shuqin shook his head: "I didn't see it, I said that this guy thinks that he is an outsider in Yanqingbiao, he can't speak, and he has no taste." simply went back to his hometown in Henan to spread incense............ Old man, you step back and I'll get up ............" He stretched and moaned comfortably: "What a comfortable sleep!" ”
Han Zhongping smiled and exited the door with Zhang Yu, who had been standing behind him silently. Zhang Yu said in a low voice: "There is a problem with the surname, I have read the things reported by the people below, saying that there are many systems in Yanqing, as well as the appearance of training, all of which have the shadow of the Praetorian Guards............"
Han Zhongping raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and said coldly in a low voice: "What does this have to do with us?" Even if Xu Yifan is here in person, he will no longer have a reason to stop us from acting! He's waiting for us to make trouble in Yanjing City............ What means does he have in the future, even if he wants to use my Han Zhongping head to calm the world, as long as his long-cherished wish is fulfilled, what do I care about? I don't fight with him! ”
He looked at Zhang Yu and smiled faintly: "You want to be the founder of the Xiangjiao?" ”
Zhang Yu shook his head slowly: "............ Old man, my mind is the same as yours............"
While the two were talking, Yan Shuqin had already dressed up, opened the door and walked out with a smile: "Old man, what is the matter with summoning me here in such a hurry?" ”
Han Zhongping turned to look at him and shook his head: "Those scholars in the capital, when they are planning, they are the Tao, and when they act, they are useless. They had a seizure inside, and we waited for an external seizure, and in one fell swoop, Tan Si dismounted. Everyone divides the provinces of Zhili equally............ Now they can't hold their breath, let's do it first! ”
Yan Shuqin's eyes widened and he slapped his thigh: "I'll just say that they can't be trusted!" Li Xiangtang contacted this, contacted that, and millions of dollars of silver were taken out to others, and now what is going on? The hundreds of thousands of Xiangjiao children in their own family don't count on it, they count on those big hats and [***] hair! So what to do? ”
Han Zhongping said coldly: "I can't let Tan Sitong concentrate on dealing with those people in Yanjing City now, although these big hats are useless, but now they are indispensable to make trouble in them............ Venerable Yan, incense altars everywhere can be moved! We've endured it too long............ Now is it better to kill Ermaozi, burn the church, and let Tan Si burn it together with the inside and outside, and can't concentrate on dealing with one ............ We can take advantage of the chaos! ”
Yan Shuqin was shocked, staring at Han Zhongping with a faint expression on his face. In the blink of an eye, Yan Shuqin's breathing became heavy: "............ Emperor, I finally waited for your old man to say such a sentence! I, Yan Shuqin, was brought out by you, and I don't have anything to say about this kindness. I'll do whatever you say............ But hundreds of thousands of Xiangjiao children are not looking forward to such a day! The new army picked a mess, and everyone's grievances were almost uncontrollable! I'm going to give the order everywhere, go straight to the li, burn a furnace of incense, and fucking do it! ”
Zhang Yu just stood respectfully behind Han Zhongping, and when he heard this conversation, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but move slightly.
With these few words of dialogue between Han Zhongping and Yan Shuqin, what kind of violent bloody storm will be set off in the land of Zhili!
Destroy and destroy............ Let everything, including the enemies of himself and Old Man Han, be in this thunder and lightning together............ Martyred............ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ at this time, in Yanjing City's Wenting-style Hanlindi, the Wenting-style had already risen. The leaders of the Eight Banners of the Prince were connected yesterday and prepared to go to the Summer Palace to make trouble today, and the news was sent to him before dawn. Immediately he got up from the bed.
On the heart, although he provoked this limelight, he got a lot of silver from Sheng Xuanhuai, and most of these words were spilled. But he really didn't plan to let these princes make trouble so early.
agreed with Han Lao's shopkeeper that he would wait for the new army that could be mastered to be used a little, and then step by step he would carry out his steps of reversing Guangxu Chen and reversing Cixi.
But these princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp! These clans have not held power for a long time, but they still think very highly of themselves. There are those who are willing to eat money and food at home, but there are even more restless.
It's ridiculous to say that these princes want to come forward for more economic reasons. Over the past 100 years, the shelves of the clan have become bigger and bigger, and the degree of use has become tighter and tighter. If you don't collapse the shelf, don't think about more ways to make money, what other way is there? But since Prince Gong, the prince of the Cixi Fang clan is also like a thief. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen, and even the Three Seas Project, how many are missing? It turned out that Cixi at least controlled the court situation in Yanjing City to the death, and everyone had to be messengers, so let's take shifts according to seniority. But now everything is different, this has changed, that has changed, and Tan Sitong has ascended to the sky in such a step. Who looks at this and isn't a mental activity? Besides, in this situation, maybe one day you will have to roll up your belongings and go to the Tianjin Concession as a public servant, the family is clean, and the house will not be taken away at that time.
Tan Sitong climbed up, and now he is in power, and there is no shortage of big guys in the original money. But in an important position, this guy is so stubborn, with a little money, he will get his new army. If this continues, the big guys will have to starve to death in the hands of his second emperor! Grandma is a bear, you Tan Sitong can be the second emperor to give yourself a lot of money in the position of the person, our surname is Aixin Jueluo, the Qing Dynasty is going downhill, we should be unlucky?
Is it tolerable or unbearable, I did it with the second emperor!
Cixi scolded a few, but it aroused the fighting spirit of these princes and the ministers who participated in the Eight Banners and lost their positions unlucky. Everyone greeted each other a few days ago, and they almost made a blood alliance. Let's go to the Summer Palace to cry! Let's see if Lafayette and the emperor want that Tan Sitong, or do they want us!
The princes are noble and have a lot of movement, so naturally they don't pay much attention to the subsection of secrecy. On the contrary, they were afraid that others would not know that they would work intermittently for the survival of the Qing Dynasty. This news not only reached Tan Sitong's henchmen, but also naturally spread to Wen Tingshi early.
Wen Tingshi's brain buzzed at that time, and after he climbed out of bed, he calmed down a little more.
Anyway, this thing has to be done sooner rather than later. Ten days and a half months, what's the big deal! These princes have noble statuses, what else dare Tan Sitong do, they can't succeed? The tide is up, and it doesn't matter if it's early or late. Maybe Tan Sitong will be overturned in one fell swoop? As long as there is no Tan Sitong in charge, the little soldiers left by Liu Kunyi are also leaderless. At that time, no matter whether the new army under Old Man Han's command will be used or not, if they are brought into the city, what else can't be scared?
To be honest, I watched Tan Sitong all day long and powerful, and he was in power. Although he is not like Kang Nanhai's vinegar on his face, his heart is also sour. The emperor is also a person with a surname in a hurry, so he may also cater to the emperor's wishes!
The more he thought about it, the more calm he became, and simply let his family make tea, and he was in the study. Drinking tea and reading books, smiling proudly, waiting for these princes and ministers to make trouble.
The ground in the capital is evil, he thought of Kang Youwei, and Kang Youwei hurriedly came to his Hanlin Dibai Mansion. The mission of these Zikang Youwei is to contact Han Zhongping, reveal a little bit of the conspiracy of their imperial party group, and then grasp the movements of Old Man Han. The specific actions of doing great things are also firmly grasped in Wen Ting's hands.
Hearing that Kang Youwei was coming, Wen Tingshi instructed his subordinates to introduce politely, and changed to a more chic posture to sit in. I was still laughing in my heart: "The South China Sea countryside is dull and talented, and I can't see a big scene!" is so uncomposed, no wonder Tan Fusheng kicked you far away! ”
Footsteps outside the study were loud, and Kang Youwei had already hurriedly walked in. These words, his face became more and more gloomy, and there was a kind of resentment, hidden between his eyebrows. In such a cold weather, there were still beads of sweat on his dark and thin dry face, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Wen Tingshi: "Daoxi, while there is still work, persuade those princes to stop now!" If there is chaos outside, it will make the resurrection distracted, and it will make trouble inside, which is the reason! Otherwise, Tan Fusheng would definitely have a move! ”
Hearing Kang Youwei's stunned words, Wen Tingshi's heart was suddenly unhappy, and he thought in his heart: "What crazy are you Kang Nanhai!" In front of me, is there room for you to speak like that? Do I want you to judge my actions? ”
But he still had a smile on his face, put down the scroll in his hand unhurriedly, and smiled at Kang Youwei, who was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Nanhai, what are you panicking about?" These princes, it's easy to provoke them, but it's hard to stop them! How far are we from them? Besides, can we jump to the front of the stage? Just let them touch it............ Let Lafayette and the emperor also turn around, and then support the resurrection, Yanjing City will have to turn against the sky first! ”
"He'll do it when he comes back to life!" Kang Youwei stomped his foot straight over there.
Wen Tingshi sneered: "Yanjing City is still in the Qing Dynasty!" He Tan Fusheng dares to do it? He dares to move these princes, these Eight Banners leaders, these ministers? Lend them their guts! Nanhai, at this time, you must have a foundation in speaking, and you can't be shocking! ”
Kang Youwei's expression was solemn, but he calmed down a little, and slowly shook his head: "Daoxi...... Resurrection, he is not the resurrection he used to be! All he has to do now is to be a lonely son, I know him, he is out of the way! Once people get to the point where they don't care about their heads, what can't they do? In this way, it is just hard to force the resurrection in the capital! By mistake, Liu Kunyi changed hands like this, and he had soldiers in his hands! Now in this world, there are the largest soldiers! If he really did it, Lafayette and the emperor in the garden could only retreat and pinch his nose and admit it!
Dawhi, listen to my advice. The steps you thought about, the bookish anger was a little heavier. Just like I used to do! The most important thing now is to look at strength. It's better for us to spend a lot of effort to master the strength under Old Man Han's hands, and then do your steps, Dao Xi, your plan, only then can we have a seven-point chance of success! ”
There was a loud snap, and Wen Ting-style shooting started. Pointing at Kang Youwei and said loudly: "Nanhai, what are you chewing nonsense!" You're phlegm lost today, I won't talk to you more! Another day, your mind is clear, let's talk again! Who's coming............ Drop-off! ”
Kang Youwei sneered, and his expression was very open-minded: "The amount is not a gentleman, and the non-toxic is not a husband............ You are not as good as Xu Yifan, you are not as good as Tan Fusheng! Fortunately, in the early hours of this morning, I gave an explanation to Mr. Han! Daoxi, Daoxi, just look at it, and the emperor will know what kind of person I Kang Youwei is! ”
Later, he actually laughed wildly, laughing so much that his body trembled, and tears flowed out of his laughter. The family members who rushed over when they heard the sound looked at Kang Youwei who was crazy in the study blankly, and Wen Tingshi who stood there trembling with anger.
Kang Youwei's laughter stopped abruptly, turned around and staggered out. Wen Tingshi only felt an indescribable resentment in his heart, and raised his hand to lift the tea bowl on the desk and fell to the ground: "Bastard!" Keep the word, this person will come in the future, I won't see it! ”
