"Hurry up and speed me up, and march to Tianjin." Hu Wei, chief of staff of the Northern Expeditionary Army, began to temporarily replace Wang Guorui and ordered.

More than 100,000 troops had just crossed the Yellow River and immediately accelerated their advance to Tianjin. Because Tianjin is now crumbling and may fall at any time. It is necessary to go to Tianjin as soon as possible and hold Tianjin, so as to provide a barrier for the capital behind. In any case, the Manchu government was the capital of China after all, and once the Manchu government left the capital, it was reduced to a local government in the hearts of the whole people. Once a central government leaves the capital, it can easily be relegated to local government. After all, Beijing is an ancient historical capital with a very lofty status. Once the central court left the capital, how much prestige did they still have? This is also the reason why many imperial courts are unwilling to move the capital when they are in danger, and once the capital is moved, the world will be disrupted.

So once Beijing is attacked by foreigners, the fig leaf of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be gone, and how much value will their central government have at that time. Once the Manchus lost the value of the central government, the plan of the kingdom to blackmail the Son of Heaven to make the princes inevitably abort. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to ensure that Beijing is not attacked by foreigners, and this is the most important thing.

"General, the imperial court asked us to stop these Taiwanese troops, should we stop them?" A green battalion soldier in Zhili asked.

But the general of the green battalion immediately said, "Stupid, what are you stopping?" You didn't see the big flag above them, don't the Chinese fight the Chinese? If we do, then are we not going to be sinners of the nation? Under the banner of going to Tianjin to fight against foreign devils, how can we stop them casually? If we stop them, we will definitely be wiped out by them. None of our families are old and young, we work hard for this court, and when the time comes, people will not give us pensions, or even shame! They are there to protect the land for us. If we stop them, not only will we not gain any good reputation, but we will become traitors and traitors. We can't do such a thing as a traitor and a traitor! ”

"Well, then we still won't fight!"

Taiwan's army had already advanced closer to Beizhili, which was later Hebei Province. This was the responsibility of the Governor of Zhili, who was one of the highest-ranking governors in the Manchu Dynasty. Even in the late Qing Dynasty, the Governor of Zhili and the Minister of Beiyang was already the center of power in the country, and it was not even worse than the Military Aircraft Department, and the vast majority of the Military Aircraft Ministers were not as powerful as the Governor of Zhili. Now that he has officially entered Beizhili, it means that he can fight against the foreigners and control the Manchu government in the capital.

The Manchu government also hurriedly ordered the new army and the green battalion to block the army in Taiwan, but at this time, where did the Manchu green battalion and the new army dare to stop it casually. Because the green camp doesn't say whether it can fight or not, if it dies by then, it will be a traitor and traitor. Taiwan's banner is to go to Tianjin to fight against foreigners, and if it stops them, isn't it a traitor and a traitor? You can't do that kind of thing. Once you do it, not only will the Manchu Qing fall at that time, not only will you not be compensated, but you will also be scolded after you die. So at this time, those green battalions and the new army also chose neutrality, anyway, these court affairs have nothing to do with their affairs, and whoever does the country at that time will be able to eat in peace. As long as they give themselves a way to live, and the people of their own country rule themselves, then they are all willing to surrender. As for whether the emperor of this country is surnamed Wang, or surnamed Aixin Jueluo. Then they don't want to care!

However, this news is not good for the princes in the capital.

"Bastard. Yuan Shikai actually betrayed the mourning family? The mourning family shouldn't have believed in reusing you, a capricious villain, you were able to betray the Restoration Party, and now you have betrayed the mourning family! Empress Dowager Cixi said angrily.

The Empress Dowager Cixi watched this Taiwanese army land from Shandong, and as a result, she fought from Shandong along the way, and Yuan Shikai took the initiative to sign a statement agreement. Then he declared that he would break away from the Southeast Mutual Insurance, and was willing to follow Wang Guorui into King Jingqin, which obviously means that Ming Yuan Shikai was willing to come together with Wang Guorui. Cixi was immediately furious, because this Yuan Shikai was not only unable to bear the responsibility of blocking the Taiwanese army from entering the capital, but still took refuge in Wang Guorui in turn. It's just infuriating.

"Queen Mother, this time it was the Beiyang Navy who betrayed the imperial court. Lu Wenjing, the commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Naval Division, took the Beiyang Naval Division to take refuge in Taiwan, and such a huge coastal defense could not play a role. In this way, hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese troops landed from Weihaiwei with a single shot, and then they went to the Yellow River defense line in two ways. I don't know what means they used to force Lord Yuan's men to let go of the Yellow River defense line. On the other hand, Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan, personally led more than 20,000 elite soldiers to besiege Jinan, and then forced Yuan Shikai to sign the statement. And now the army of more than 100,000 people has marched towards Zhili, and it will not take a few days to reach Beijing and Tianjin. Li Lianying said.

"Bastard, didn't those generals along the way follow the orders of the mourning family to stop the Taiwanese army?" Cixi said angrily.

"No, Taiwan held high the banner of 'Chinese do not fight Chinese' along the way, and many generals threw rat traps, so they did not dare to fight." Li Lianying said.

Cixi suddenly stood up and said angrily; "They only have China in their eyes, is there still a Qing Dynasty?"

"The Queen Mother is cautious!" Li Lianying couldn't help but say.

Cixi's face turned blue, and what he had just said made it clear to everyone that China and the "Great Qing" were not one. According to the vast majority of the Chinese people, even the vast majority of the Manchu banner people at the bottom, they all believe that China and the "Great Qing" are one. But Cixi actually said this, which means that she doesn't think that China and the Qing Dynasty are the same thing at all in her heart, they just want to keep the Qing Dynasty, but they don't want to keep China. And this is very hurtful, if Cixi's words get out, I am afraid it will make everyone feel very cold.

"Xiao Lizi, pass the order down and prepare to move the capital!" Empress Dowager Cixi said.

"Queen Mother, move the capital?" Li Lianying's face changed.

Anyone with a little political acumen also knows that moving the capital means that the authority of the country's central government has been reduced by a great level, and if it is not done well, it will even be reduced from a central government to a local government. The significance of the capital is not only a city, nor is it a geographical coordinate, but a benchmark for the centripetal force of a person's heart. As long as the capital remains, the centripetal force of the people of this country will also remain. However, once the capital is easily moved, the core of the country's centripetal force will be shifted, and this will be very dangerous. Moving the capital does not mean that you can move the capital if you move the capital, if you don't play well, maybe the country will also disintegrate. During the Tang Dynasty, although Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian had already arrived in Luoyang to work, they did not announce the relocation of the capital at all, because they did not want to risk the loss of the country's centripetal force. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, which also took many years to move the capital step by step, from the early preparations of the first year of Yongle to the death of the Yongle Emperor, and then more than 20 years to change three emperors to make the Ming Dynasty successfully move the capital.

But this Empress Dowager Cixi actually said that if the capital is moved, the capital will be moved, this is her own death!

"That's right, that is, to move the capital. If we don't move the capital again, then Wang Guorui, the traitor, will come to the capital, and then we will all become prisoners. At that time, the rivers and mountains of our Qing Dynasty were going to be usurped by him. Therefore, at this time, we must move the capital as soon as possible, so that we can be safe. Cixi said.

"Queen Mother, if the capital is moved, the country will be torn apart. Many governors of the imperial court have also implemented mutual protection in the southeast, and if once the imperial court moves the capital, then the next half of the southeast will not be able to be saved. At that time, the world was going to be over.

"Hmph, even if I finish the Qing Dynasty, the mourning family can't just give it to that Wang Guorui!" Empress Dowager Cixi gritted her teeth and said.

Li Lianying wanted to say something, but Cixi immediately said: "Little Lizi, don't you listen to the words of the mourning family, and you all want to betray the mourning family together, right?" ”

"Queen Mother, Xiao Lizi doesn't dare!" Li Lianying said immediately.

Other feudal officials may be able to ignore the Empress Dowager Cixi, but Li Lianying will definitely not dare, so he immediately expressed his loyalty. As a eunuch, if they lose the trust of the nobles in the palace, then they will die without a place to be buried.

"Okay, immediately send an order down and let the court prepare to move the capital. It is necessary to move the capital to Xi'an within a few days! The mourning family is not afraid of foreigners, but it is Wang Guorui who is afraid. If the foreigners come, nothing will happen to the mourning family, but if Wang Guorui comes, the Qing Dynasty will be over. Therefore, the mourning family cannot be used by Wang Guorui, so the capital must be moved. Cixi said.

The capital immediately became a chicken and a dog jumping, because with the Empress Dowager Cixi's order to move the capital, there was chaos everywhere. Especially where the relocation of the capital is so easy to complete, this is not so much a move as an escape. The whole capital has also become very chaotic, and there is no place for stability at all. The news was immediately sent to Wang Guorui by telegram by Zhou Chen, director of the Beijing Office.

"The Special Operations Command immediately sent a special combat team, which must arrive in the capital within two days, and then occupy the nine gates of the inner city of the capital to block the road of the imperial court to move the capital. If the Manchus move the capital, then our plan to blackmail the Son of Heaven to make the princes bankrupt, so we must prevent the Manchus from moving the capital, understand? Wang Guorui said.
