"Goo-dong, goo-dong", "goo-dong, goo-dong" The sound of the impact of the train wheels when they press through the gap in the rail connection reached Guangxu's ears slowly and rhythmically...... Outside the window, the corn sorghum all over the mountains has been lush, and the green gauze tent covers the four fields. With the continuous scenery outside the window, the depressed mood of getting up in the morning was also lost in Shanhaiguan.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Guangxu took a sip of tea. How to face Cixi's plan after returning to Beijing, Guangxu was actually prepared in his heart. As an emperor, he also knows very well that it seems that the political power is held by one person, but in fact, the political power is controlled by the leader with the support of a group of people, and the leader who loses his support will also lose the political power. It is not difficult to regain power for the current Guangxu, although Cixi cannot move because of filial piety, but as long as her group of supporters is destroyed, Cixi will lose the ability to control the imperial court, and Cixi's soft house arrest at that time is actually meaningless.

The method is very simple, and it is easy to do, and everything is stable as soon as the butcher knife falls. I was just worried that this would cause a lot of shock in the country, and I couldn't grasp it well, but Cixi had ruled China for 40 years. The reason why he was depressed before was that Guangxu couldn't think of a way to take over the power smoothly without killing people or killing less. But since he has already led troops into the customs, he has no choice, and his mood is naturally calm.

Although the courtiers didn't say anything about last night, it doesn't mean that the emperor doesn't know, although Guangxu really doesn't know when he just got up. Tang Shaoyi thought very carefully, all the close ministers around the emperor were called, and even Kou Liancai didn't pull down, just because he didn't want the emperor to know the decision of the courtiers. But he still made a mistake, if he hadn't called Kou Liancai, Guangxu might not have figured it out. Kou Liancai is a slave and a servant, not a courtier, and Kou Liancai also understands the difference. So in Guangxu's seemingly nonchalant eyes, he still said a bottom. Guangxu smiled faintly and also spoke. Thinking about it, Tang Shaoyi did this, did he just want to persuade the emperor in such a way. Or in fact, the purpose of his call Kou Liancai is to let the emperor know.

Fortunately, Tang Shaoyi called Kou Liancai when he was deliberating. Otherwise, it would mean that the ministers had the ability to override the imperial power. This kind of thing cannot be tolerated. Fortunately, Wang Shizhen and Ouyang Zhenhua acted quickly and did not let the ** division get on the boat. Otherwise, Guangxu would definitely kill Tang Shaoyi and hurry up.

No matter what he is, since the courtiers have made a decision for the emperor, it means that the people who support Guangxu have this need. Then pretend you don't know. After all, he wants to sit firmly in the court. There needs to be support from these people.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the emperor was replaced by a river of blood. It seems that I am not exempt from vulgarity. As for the telegram back to Cixi, there is only one sentence: arrange security. This sentence can be explained to Guangxu. The same can be explained to Cixi.

Guangxu frowned: "Kou Liancai, go and tell the people in front of you to stop for a while." are all the top members of the imperial court, don't do anything for a few taels of silver. Do you want the face of the imperial court? ”

Kou Liancai walked over with a "chirp". In the front carriage, only Lin Qizhao leisurely drank tea and watched the quarrel of everyone. He is the president of the bank, and he only cares about the money, and it is not his business where to use the money. It's useless to kill me, anyway, Daqing only has this money at the moment, you look at it. As soon as the notice is divided, I will allocate the funds according to the chapter.

Tang Shaoyi needs money to build railways and highways, and the more developed the road network, the stronger the transportation capacity. The increase in logistics will also provide more and more taxes for the imperial court. The imperial court had taxes to build warships and build armies. Although the Japanese threat is imminent, we cannot exhaust it.

It is true that we cannot fish with all our might, but our army has not asked for expansion. The resumption of the establishment of the 10 divisions should be the right thing to do, so why should your surname Tang request that the 6783rd Division be suspended and restored to full strength. Just because you need money to build roads? Our army has won the battle and is already magnanimous if it does not expand. How did you get to this, this has become a victory, and you have to downsize. Ouyang Zhenhua was furious.

Tang Shaoyi also wanted to cut some of the training expenses, but the navy did not have much opinion on this. Wu Deren just led Tang Shaoyi's collar and pressed him to the table, and then told him softly: If you want to touch the navy's silver, I have no opinion, Lao Tzu threw you off the train, and you can't have an opinion.

At this time, Kou Liancai appeared and said that they had disturbed the emperor's writing. Wu Deren let go of Tang Shaoyi, and pretended to dress Tang Shaoyi. A sentence that Lao Tzu is now a Sven person, attracting white eyes everywhere.

The anger was suppressed, and Kou Liancai also returned. He didn't speak, just stood quietly aside, adding water and tea to the emperor. Fire is like a volcano, if you let him squirt it from time to time, the harm will not be great. Otherwise, the long-suppressed volcano suddenly erupts, and the harm will be great. After a while, Guangxu had to suspend the compilation of the metal heat treatment process, because there was a fight over there.

When I crossed the connection, I saw Wu Deren pressing Tang Shaoyi against the open window and shouting: "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will throw it down for you now." ”

"What are you doing? Hooligans. The surname is Wu, believe it or not, I will kick you down now. Playing hooligan in front of the hooligan leader, you are still a little tender. The joking scolding eased the tension a lot: "The state is a whole, and both military and administrative are mutually reinforcing. The Japanese threat is imminent, and you Wu Deren will not be able to win if you have one or two fewer warships? Don't put everything on your plate, take into account the overall situation of the country. My naval commander can't just be a man who cares about his own small plates. I don't care about this, you can figure it out for yourselves. is about to take over the overall situation of the imperial court, if we don't learn to compromise with each other and support each other, then let's go home honestly and farm. ”

It worked very well, and before I waited for the evening, the plan came out. In terms of the army, the 7th Division maintained the status quo, and the 8th Division only retained the number and the units directly under the division, and priority was given to other units. As for the Navy, it will only guarantee the cost of purchasing warships and building four more warships, keep the training intensity low, and stop the construction of new warships and dock facilities. In terms of railways, in addition to the railways to Harbin and Maoshan Iron Mine, the railway to Xi'an is excellently guaranteed. There is no way, this time there is a big enmity with Russia, and only by repairing the railway can the imperial court ensure the control of the northwest by the imperial court. Other construction can only be carried out if it is not affected.

The only thing that has changed significantly is the construction corps. For the prisoners who were resolutely not redeemed by the Russians, all of them were thrown into the construction corps. As a result, the total number of people in the entire construction corps suddenly exceeded 100,000, which was difficult to manage. The corps commander, Nozu Michikan, requested that the corps be divided into three for ease of management, and although he was nominally the commander of the colonel of the Great Qing Kingdom, he was also a prisoner. With the addition of more and more Nanyang slaves, the Japanese soldiers who used to work changed from laborers to managers. Although the identity of the captives has not changed. Although he still can't leave the camp, his treatment has really improved. You don't have to work under a whip and you can beat people with a whip, you can also eat wine and meat, and there are ** lodging quarters to separate them from ordinary captives. There is even a decent salary. You can also apply to bring your family to you. Families can also earn a good income by working in the camp, which is far better than staying in Japan and being bullied (not to mention false and exaggerated propaganda). The Japanese who were originally quite united. Just for these poor management positions, I broke my head. The method of dividing and dissolving succeeded. Unstoppable, Nozu Michikan could only seek more welfare for his own people, and the Corps was divided into three, but the number of management positions was increased by as much as five times.

The commander of the division is the commander of the division, and his personal ability will not be erased because of the change of identity. The detailed management method written by Nozu Michikani is very operational. Good opinions are accepted. Do so. It's just that some of the management positions were reserved for the Nanyang slaves and the Russian Maozi, and the method of dividing them should continue to be used. At dinner, everyone's mood was very high, and the ancient precept of eating and not saying anything was useless here.

"There's less effort in the construction corps. Just leave it to Nozu Michikan, and he'll take care of it. Guangxu said casually.

He found that the Japanese did not seem to have much interest in returning home. At the beginning of the year, when the Japanese minister was in a prisoner of war camp, some Japanese who had already taken up the administration of the camp asked us that they were qualified to bring their families to Japan. At that time, the minister followed the side, and the eyes of the other Japanese were full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Tang Shaoyi laughed.

"That's how the Japanese are. The more you take him seriously, the less they take you seriously. You beat them up like you beat a dog. They will instead be as docile as dogs. A cheap bone. "Guangxu knows the Japanese too well.

"Actually, it's the same with foreign devils. Especially the British. Wu Deren said hatefully. I still remember the humiliation of this guy when he went to England.

As night fell, everyone went to sleep and recharge their energy to prepare for tomorrow's trip to the city. For a day, everyone tacitly did not mention how to deal with the members of the post-party after entering Beijing. There's no need to talk about anything. The decision was made from the moment the 1st Division entered the customs.

The night always passed, and when dawn came, the 1st Division set out again. They were stationed in Fengtai Daying, but were stopped by the gate when they took over the defense of Beijing, let alone the Beijing railway station.

The members of the Hou Party led by Shi Duo all knelt outside the Cining Palace, and they didn't dare to come out. I can only hear the sound of opera coming from the palace, but the sound of today's opera is a little small, and I can't hear it clearly.

"Prince Li, now the emperor's soldiers and horses have surrounded the capital. What kind of charter is the Queen Mother? Yi Liang was a little flustered.

"If there were a charter, would we still have to kneel here?" Shi Duo glanced at Yixuan, and the rest of his heart was even more chaotic. The emperor is leading troops to surround the capital this time, and it seems that the emperor does not plan to give them a good face. Will...... Shidor didn't dare to think about it.

"The emperor has come to the door, what kind of drama does the queen mother have the heart to listen to?" Xu Tong's heart is about to come together.

"By the way, can any of you hear what the Queen Mother is listening to?" No one could answer the question of Shidor.

Compared with the sorrow in front of Cining Palace, there was panic on the city wall. The 1st Division of the Royal Army under the city had already set up an attack formation, and the neat artillery Rong Lu in the row not far away counted in the telescope, a total of 38 guns, including 75 mountain guns and more than 20 guns. Compared with the first division under the city, the soldiers of the infantry yamen in the city were trembling. Rong Lu knew very well that once the first division began to attack the city, the city wall would definitely not be able to hold on for ten minutes.

And just like that, the two sides confronted each other until the sun went down.

"Your Majesty, the first division was blocked outside the city. Rong Lu, the governor of Zhili, said on the city wall that it was the queen mother's order to close the city gate. Division Commander Duan reported that preparations were made for the siege. Before getting off the train, Ouyang Zhenhua stepped forward to report.

"The Queen Mother's will is for him to obey, so will he keep my will? I'm going to see for myself. ”

"Your Majesty, slow down." Wang Shizhen stopped Guangxu: "Just give the ministers a handwritten message, and the ministers should open the city gate to welcome the emperor." The emperor is not allowed to go in person, in case they jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

Everyone said yes.

"You don't have to talk to people. Let's do this for a while and see how long they can last. If you can't do it again, I'll go to it. ”

Outside the Jianguo Gate, Guangxu rode a white horse over the crowd and approached the city wall under the protection of more than a dozen guards. The city wall Ronglu stood straight, but the decline in his eyes still fell on Guangxu's eyes through the telescope.

"I've already done it myself, but you want to rebel behind closed doors? You still dare to point a gun at me, not afraid of going off and destroying your nine clans? "The emperor is majestic, and his decisive tone makes the guns on the city wall immediately put away.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has mercy to close the capital. The ministers are also acting according to orders, and they really dare not disrespect. This is Rong Lu answering on the city wall.

"The will of the Queen Mother is respected, and my will is to fart?" Guangxu waited for a while after speaking, but there was no movement at the city gate. He didn't say anything more, and as soon as he turned around, he went back.

Rong Lu, who didn't know why, saw that the army under the city gave way to a road, and after a while, a 75 mountain cannon was pushed out. The muzzle of the cannon was laid flat and aimed at the city gate. Rong Lu was shocked, the queen mother closed the city gate because she thought that the emperor would never attack the capital again, and this must be the emperor's capital. As long as the emperor takes the initiative to compromise, it will be good to keep their post-party lineage and leave the possibility for a future rise. Now that the emperor is so resolute, how should this be?

"The emperor is going to attack the city, immediately report to the Queen Mother, please make a decision." Rong Quan's panicked order. I'm afraid it's too late, they're already starting to load.

To enter Beijing, you need to use artillery fire to open the way, which is what the emperor just said. Wang Shizhen stopped Duan Qirui, who was about to fire, but looked at the emperor.

Guangxu laughed: "I have also been on the battlefield, but I have not yet fired a cannon." It's okay, let me personally fire this shot towards revitalization. ”

Guangxu tightened his grip on the bolt and pulled it heavily. With a bang, the cannonball flew out of the chamber and hit the city gate accurately. When the smoke and dust of the city gate cleared, the two towering gates had already fallen to the ground, and the portal was opened.

Guangxu pulled out his sword and held it high above the top: "If you encounter obstacles, you will be killed." With the sword waved forward, the tip of the sword directly built the country's gate, and Guangxu shouted: "Siege." ”
