Chapter Ninety-Seven: I've Got You Done
The experience of the first troops in Sichuan can be described as colorful, first as immortals, then as rebels, and then as saviors. It is also a bit of good luck to be able to get the support of the local people so quickly, for example, there are people here who know what the Hainan Army is doing outside, otherwise even if you say it, they will still treat you as a rebel.
With the entry of the vanguard into Sichuan, the situation in Sichuan is being transmitted back to the front-line command little by little, and the follow-up army is also protecting the baggage troops are nervously marching towards the interior of Sichuan, opening up a passage that can go straight to the hinterland of Sichuan, after all, the large army is to participate in the rescue, and it is impossible to send large-scale troops to protect the baggage troops.
The capital, inside the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Guangxu sat on the dragon chair with a depressed face, and the Empress Dowager Cixi sat in front of him, letting him look at the benefits of having a very high authority, but he really couldn't get it, every time he went to the court or something, he had to come on time and on point, and then do it according to the Empress Dowager Cixi's wishes, and the slightest carelessness would cause unnecessary trouble.
"The mourning family heard that Wang Lin's dog thief has decided to go to Sichuan? And also released cruel words to threaten the court? Who can tell the mourning family if there is such a thing? The Empress Dowager Cixi asked, pointing to the ministers below.
"Lafayette, there is indeed such a thing, and the dog thief King Lin also summoned many newspaper reporters to announce this matter, and it is difficult for us to do it now." A civil minister stood up, knelt on the ground with the cold sweat on his head and said to the Empress Dowager Cixi.
"Hmph, the imperial court has not been extinguished yet, this is the land of the Great Qing Kingdom, it is the land of the Aixin Jueluo family, I can let whoever I want to enter, he Wang Lin is a dog thief, what qualifications does he have to call reporters, what qualifications does he have to talk to the court like this?" Cixi is really angry, but since Wang Lin's incident, she hasn't lived a day, today is either this fall or how many soldiers surrendered yesterday, nothing can make her happy. After thinking about it, Cixi continued to ask Rong Lu, "Rong Lu, I heard that Wang Lin has ordered his rebels to lay down their weapons and enter Sichuan?" ”
"Back to Lafayette, the major newspapers did mention this matter, and I believe it should be true." Rong Lu said tremblingly, as soon as Cixi asked what good things he was going to do for this, Rong Lu said secretly in his heart.
"Well, it's good to lay down your weapons, it's good to lay down your weapons." Cixi nodded twice and put down her weapons, and then said to Rong Lu: "Rong Lu, you go and prepare, take advantage of the fact that Wang Lin's dog thieves have put down their weapons and enter Sichuan, they can't beat us with weapons, now that they put down their weapons, we will take advantage of it, take back the previous lost territory in one fell swoop, and completely take down the Wang Lin dog thief, and the mourning family wants to let Wang Lin's dog thief never turn over." ”
"Lafayette, this ......" Hearing that Cixi had given herself such a task to bear eternal infamy, even if Rong Luping had done a lot of evil, he now had to think about what he should do.
"Dear Dad, we can't do this. Although Wang Lin and the others are rebels, they are now doing things for us, even if they want to fight, they will have to wait until they are busy with the affairs of Sichuan, and then even if we lose? You can't watch tens of millions of people die like this, can you? "Hearing Cixi's arrangement, a weak Emperor Guangxu can't care about anything, although he is now powerless and powerless, but if he doesn't dare to say a fair word at this time, it will be too bad for this world.
Although Guangxu knew that what he said would not have any effect at all, but would cause Cixi to be strongly dissatisfied with him, and even house arrest, etc., but there was no way to do it, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he had no power in his hands, and he was completely hollowed out by the Queen Mother, anyway, she was also doing things for the Qing Dynasty again, but now it is different, Wang Lin's practice has been spread outside, and many people have begun to praise Wang Lin's practice, thereby belittling the imperial court, If at this time, the imperial court not only did not have any remedial measures, but even forcibly sent troops to eliminate Wang Lin's army, Guangxu really didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
"Lafayette, this matter must not be done, not to mention that now that this matter has spread, even the great powers dare not give Wang Lin too much attention, and Wang Lin's current approach has been appreciated by many people, if we forcibly send troops, it will cause strong dissatisfaction among the people." Wang Wenshao, the minister of the Han military aircraft, hurriedly stood up and dissuaded, if this matter really came according to Lafayette's intentions, then the Qing Dynasty would not be far from destruction.
"Hmph, a bunch of dog minions, do you have to ask for their consent to do what the mourning family is going to do? simply give them the position of the mourning family to sit down. Cixi was a little angry, she couldn't imagine that there were so many people dissatisfied with her now, it seems that it is time to clean up the court officials, and let those blind guys see who is the main thing in the Qing Kingdom.
"Lafayette is angry, please think twice." The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, regardless of their rank, except for a very small number of Manchu aristocratic and high-ranking officials, all other Manchu civil and military officials knelt down.
"Hmph, a group of useless dog minions, our Qing Dynasty has never treated you badly, and as soon as you get an idea, you will swallow and vomit. Your Majesty, is there anything else? If not, retreat. "After Cixi was furious, she also knew that there would be no result at the court meeting, since you didn't agree, then the mourning family will come to you secretly, and I will tell you when I leave, see what can you do?
Guangxu was extremely dissatisfied and hurriedly got up and left after saying a word of retreat, today is the most columsy day since he sat on the throne, this is Guangxu's own feelings, although it is enough to say that it is enough, but today it can only watch the time of the Great Qing Kingdom enter the countdown.
After retiring from the dynasty, Cixi called Rong Lu and other Manchu high-ranking officials to the Imperial Garden, in the opinion of the Empress Dowager Cixi, at a critical time, we are the most reliable and reliable, if only those Hanchen, the entire Qing Dynasty would have collapsed long ago. As everyone knows, without Hanchen, the Qing Empire would have collapsed now.
Cixi hummed a little song and slowly walked to the pool in the imperial garden with the support of Li Lianying, found a stone bench and sat down after Li Lianying wiped it, looking at the group of ministers following behind her, the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, and the taste in her heart was much better.
"Xiao Lizi, what do you think of the mourning family's work today?" Seeing the ministers standing there, Cixi ignored them and went to talk to her personal eunuch Li Lianying first.
Who is Li Lianying who was asked? If this man is not smart enough, not clever enough to do things, will he be able to stay by Cixi's side for many years? After thinking for a while, he said: "Back to Lafayette's words, the slave doesn't understand any big truth, but the slave knows that if we don't have Lafayette in the Qing Dynasty, I'm afraid we won't be able to last a day, so what the slave feels Lafayette says, the slave will do, only in this way is for the sake of the Qing Dynasty." ”
"Hehe, it's still a little plum with a sweet mouth, I heard that you have a relative who is also on an errand in the palace?" Cixi said happily, with Li Lianying, a shrewd and clever eunuch by her side, many things were less troublesome.
"Back to Galeries Lafayette, there is indeed such a thing." Li Lianying replied with a hunched back.
"Well, you can also find an opportunity to help your relative, everyone is a relative, don't let people say that your relative is unkind."
Cixi and Li Lianying's conversation was like this, and the ministers next to them were stunned, and said in their hearts, Do you two still need to let our group of people watch here? We all know what you Lafayette wants to do, can't you just say it? Why do we have to use this method to tell us that just listening to you will be beneficial?
"You say, is it right that the mourning family said at the court meeting today? There are always some people who can't understand the pain of mourning. Cixi said with a righteous look.
"What Lafayette said is, we will do whatever you say." A group of ministers said yes again and again, your old man has shown us such a performance, do we dare to say a word?
"Well, since the big guys have no opinions, let's start preparing, this time let our Eight Banners soldiers go out to suppress their prestige, don't think that our Eight Banners have not fought for so many years, and now we have forgotten how to fight." Cixi said.
"Lafayette, who do you think should be sent to lead the troops?" Once you decide to go, then you must have a leader, this time the matter is so big, the leader will definitely not be a small person, Rong Lu is because of a bad premonition that he hurriedly proposed, and by the way to find a chance for himself to excuse himself, after all, the idea is small, few people know, but this is not the same to lead the troops to fight, doing things that the people of the whole country will scold you, and no one will go.
"The mourning family is also worried about this candidate, this time the matter must be kept secret, the leader must also be a person with a high official position, the official is afraid of lack of experience, and it is not enough to command the army to fight there, a few of you also recommend a leading general to the mourning family, and the mourning family will see if it is suitable." Cixi nodded, Rong Lu is also a clever guy, as soon as this remark came out, Cixi knew what kind of calculation he was playing, since he didn't want to go, everyone was full of blood, and those who could accommodate it should be accommodating, who made everyone an ancestor many years ago.
"Lafayette, this time the incident was made by the Han people, it should be up to the Han people to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, our Eight Banners soldiers only need to follow behind and watch him, just now at the court meeting I saw Wang Wenshao making the most trouble, I think it is better to let him lead the army? In terms of seniority, he is the Minister of Military Aircraft, and most people in the army will obey, and his prestige is not low. Rong Lu said with a wicked smile in his heart.
"Well, it's okay, just now I saw Wang Wenshao's opposition to the strength of the mourning family, so I won't fight in one place, just let him go to command the army, and the mourning family wants to see if he is loyal to the Great Qing Kingdom or the heart is to the Wang Lin dog thief."
ps: Explain, about the Barrett of Xiaoxi in front, I may blame the model for not making it clear, so that everyone misunderstood, the Barrett in the book is XM109, which is indeed a 25mm caliber. It is the most recent to design and manufacture a 25mm XM109 sniper rifle, which is designed to have the ability to destroy light armor XM109 sniper rifle, with a barrel of 17.6 inches and a total length of 46 inches, a semi-automatic 25 mm rifle. It weighs about 46 pounds and is equipped with a 5-round capacity magazine. It seems that this gun has not yet been mass-produced.
