"I, the people of China, will never be slaves of the Manchus again!"

Sometimes, although the voice of a sentence is not loud, it is like thunder, and this thunderous word suddenly echoes in front of the Governor's Mansion of Liangjiang and stirs in people's hearts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For a moment, the old man who had just cut off his braids, the moment he heard this, he even hesitated, the so-called "loyal monarch" for many years was still influencing him, but it was only for a moment, but the old man with gray hair suddenly puffed up his chest and shouted loudly at Liu Kun, who was standing by the gate with a sick face.

"I, the people of China, will never be slaves of the Manchus again!"

The words of the old scholar were instantly drowned in this agitation, at this moment, Jiangning, the city burned, people's hearts were burning, and the entire Jiangning was ignited because of this sentence.

When the roar of the people came into Liu Kunyi's ears, at that moment, he even had an urge to go back, he looked at the young faces, looked at those excited young people, he knew that everything had changed, but he was still a little unwilling, he couldn't change, it wasn't time yet, his body, he knew better than anyone else, he didn't have time. The Liu family has no time, if it changes now, the Liu family will have nothing!

Liu Kunyi, who had experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, looked at the excited crowd in front of the house, and finally, he saw an old scholar, the gray-haired scholar had scattered hair, he had cut off his braids, and the scattered hair seemed to remind him of what kind of choice he made, but Liu Kunyi stared at the old scholar unwillingly, as if trying to find something back in him.

"Okay, a good one, never be a slave again!"

Pushing away his son beside him with his arm, Liu Kun glared at the old man angrily, and at this time, in the body of this veteran of the Hunan army, he found that bit of tiger general's wind again, and a deep cry burst out from his throat.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

was forced by Liu Shen to look at the old man like this, at that moment, he even wanted to kneel, just when his legs were weak and his knees were discounted, suddenly, a force that had never been there before was stirring in his chest, just like the same party, the seemingly cowardly old man suddenly met Liu Kunyi's sight, on his thin body, he could no longer see humility, no longer cowardice, some were just the heartfelt self-confidence that a man should have!

"A man has a dead ear, don't give in for injustice!"

A seemingly calm word came out of the mouth of the old scholar, who met Liu Kunyi's gaze, squeezed past the young man in front of him, and said loudly as he walked.

"My son of China, who has been a thief as his father for nearly two hundred and sixty years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty slaughtered my ancestors, and removed my clothes, if I die as a slave again, what face will I see to the ancestors, and what face will I see to the ancestors! Today, even if an adult wants to kill me, what's the matter, kill, die, my Chinese man, I'd rather die than love the slave of Xinjueluo for him again! ”

Finally, the old man who seemed to be thin and almost blown away by the wind walked to the front of the Yuanmen, he met the sight of Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, even in front of the Yuanmen, he never stopped, not only did he look a little disrespectful, he actually looked directly at the governor, and even stepped forward on the steps.

Although his body was so thin that it was doubtful that he could be pushed to the ground with a gentle push, it was surprising that none of the military police in front of the gate dared to stop him, and even when he came, those military policemen involuntarily retreated, and in front of this old man, each of them felt a feeling that they had never felt before.

This is the emotion of the nation, this is the emotion that comes from the heart.

"You, you ......"

Liu Kun's eyes widened, he looked at the old scholar who walked in front of him, he wanted to show his official authority as in the past, but he found that the official authority seemed to be useless.

"You, you really think that the old man won't dare to kill you!"

At this time, Liu Kunyi didn't even dare to use his own official to call himself anymore, and even he didn't notice that his words were a little weak.

"Although the husband is over fifty years old, he is a man in China, and the man is dead!"

The old man looked at Liu Kunyi without fear, ignoring the only soldier who stood between him and the governor, the black muzzle did not make him feel a trace of fear, and even a relief, sometimes, people can be a free man for a second before they die, and that is enough.

The guards who instinctively protected the adults, looked at the old man, looked at the broken hair that was blown by the wind, and suddenly, his eyes were hot, and he saw him press down the muzzle of the gun and put the gun on his shoulder.

"I'm also Han!"

His voice was not loud, but his movements fell in the eyes of everyone, almost at the moment when he turned around, Liu Arsenic felt a tightness in his chest, and he was full of sickness, and the old man in front of him pointed his fingers.

"You, you...... Ahh

Suddenly, Liu Kun spit out a mouthful of blood, and when Liu Nengji and the others who were following him saw their father vomiting blood, they were all terrified and hurriedly supported him to prevent him from falling.

"Daddy......"

After that exclamation, Liu Nengji hurriedly stroked his father and carried him into the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, and when he entered the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion with Liu Kun, who was vomiting blood, Yi Shunding kept bowing to the old scholar and the people in front of the mansion.

"Everyone, everyone, you also see, the boss's body and bones are all here, the big guy is for the sake of the boss treating me and the people of Liangjiang well, don't force him, I beg you, I beg you......"

At this time, for Yi Shunding, he has seen it, seen the weakness of the so-called official authority, and he also saw that if these people rushed into the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion now, those soldiers would never shoot, and they might even fight back, and when the time comes, let alone an adult, even his own life may not be guaranteed.

"Definitely!"

The old man shook his head, looked at Yi Shunding and said.

"It's not that we are waiting for adults, but we are waiting for adults to do what my Chinese men should do, it is the old man who treats me and the people of Jiangsu very well, and we will remember the feelings of adults, so we will come from the petition, and ask the adults to transfer more wishes to the governor! Before the adults have not electrified the whole country and declared the independence of the two rivers, we will wait here! ”

When the words fell, the old scholar sat down in front of the gate, and the other young students shouted like him.

"Before the adults have not connected the whole country and declared the independence of the two rivers, we will wait here!"

The sound from outside made the pale Liu Kun confused, looking at his son who was flustered and had no idea, he sighed in his heart and said to his son.

"Quick, send a telegram to the imperial court ......"

Send a telegram to the imperial court? When has this been, how many years have you ignored the affairs of the court, is my father really confused?

Seeing that his son hadn't reacted yet, Liu Kunyi even wanted to slap his son.

"Now, immediately tell the court about the Liangjiang scholars forcing Liangjiang to become independent, and the court will know about it!"

After making this order, Liu Kunyi told again.

"Send a telegram to Zhang Xiangtao again, and ...... here His situation is probably no better than ours here,"

Liu Kun, who was lying on the bed, thought for a moment, and then said.

"Send a telegram to Tang Ziran, congratulate him on his victory, please ......"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Kunyi still forcibly took it back, he thought for a while, and then said to his son who still seemed to be puzzled.

"Let's wait for the will of the imperial court first!"

After that, Liu Kun closed his eyes, and now, he knew that everything had changed, and the only thing he could do now was to make some plans for the future of the Liu family as much as possible......

The news of the victory on this day, swept over the country, burned, burned people's hearts, boiled people's hearts, people cheered, intoxicated, but not everyone!

At least not all cities are as fanatical as the rest of the city - Jingshi, the heart of the Qing Empire, although the government decrees here are not out of the city walls, even if Fujian orders against them, it is undeniable that, at least nominally, it is still the center of Chinese rule.

At least in name!

But it is only in name, at least the Great Qing Kingdom still exists in name, although usually the Manchus in the Sijiu City and the adults in the court privately talk about the "traitors" in the world every day, but if the last bit of "friendship between monarchs and ministers" is torn off, not everyone is willing.

At this time, the atmosphere in the palace of nourishing the heart seemed much stranger than that of the next day, a group of princes and ministers, no matter how old or young, no matter the official position, were all standing there stunned, you look at me, I look at you, and did not say a word. Guangxu, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, was a little tired, her face was pale, and her eye circles were dark, and the Queen Mother sitting behind the imperial table also looked the same, as if she was a little struggling to open a pair of eyes, and her gaze wandered to scan the minions in the hall.

“…… The barbarians outside the original Saiwai of the Manchu clan were neither the virtue of the order, nor the merit of China, taking advantage of the decline of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, violently robbing and pretending to be for a while, and the opportunities were full of changes, and they were clever in the world. At that time, Haojie was invincible by force, and he swallowed hatred and held anger to this day, covering the so-called people who are victorious over the sky. Now is also the time when heaven will conquer people. ……”

When he read the "Essay on Asking for Manchu" issued in the name of "60 million Chinese compatriots in Liangjiang", the eunuch's heart trembled, drops of sweat the size of beans slid down his cheeks, and his hands holding the inscription were also trembling.

"Anyone who has been coerced into Han Hugou but has surrendered will be amnestied and not asked. If they are in captivity, if they are deformed, they are willing to return to agriculture and animal husbandry, and they will also be amnesty. He has coerced the public to call him a go, a little resistant to Yan Xing, and there is no forgiveness for killing; For spies, there is no mercy for killing; Therefore, if you violate military law, you will not be pardoned!"

Not far away, another eunuch walked in with a piece of paper, and the eunuch took the paper and continued to read.

"According to the news of the legations, the Liangjiang rebellion spread to the embassies and consulates, and counted the top ten crimes of the Qing Dynasty......"

What the...... The ministers were stunned by the news, and Cixi, who was pale and spiritless, struggled to open a pair of eyes, staring at the slave who was reciting the ten sins.

"Please ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to order Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, to immediately exterminate the thieves......"

"Please decree the Queen Mother and the Emperor ......"

With a bang, everyone knelt down and kept kowtowing, while Guangxu, whose bloodless face was just standing there like a rope puppet.

"The servant asked the Queen Mother to give an order. Order the Governor of Huguang, Flying Gallop will suppress the thieves! ”

"Minister, please ......"

For a while, the loyal princes and ministers came from talking about each other, and they all asked for a decree, asking the Queen Mother to issue an order to suppress the rebellion, but Cixi and Cixi just looked at them, looking at this group of princes and ministers, have they forgotten that the two rivers are two rivers, and the imperial court is the imperial court?

And more importantly, those rebels are not the people's army, they don't even have guns, but they can force Liu Kun to vomit blood, and they dare not go out of the gate of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion!

"What is the situation on the other side of the two rivers now!"

Compared with those princes and ministers, Cixi grasped the key point in one sentence, if Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong had a heart, they didn't need the will of the imperial court, otherwise the imperial court would not be useful.

"Back to Lafayette, the rebellious students in Jiangning are still meditating in front of the Governor's Mansion, and Lord Liu has not given an answer!"

The reason why Liangjiang will set off such a storm here is not just a few simple documents, what really scares everyone is that those foreign students want Liu Kunyi to declare the independence of Liangjiang, this independence is not an independent country, but no longer serves the Qing Dynasty as the right one. It's not terrible for a Liu Kun to do this, but the terrible thing is that the next nine governors will do this, and by that time, the Great Qing Kingdom will really be over.

"In that case......

After a moment of silence, Cixi opened her mouth and commanded.

"Liu Kunyi is a veteran of the Hunan Army, the Hunan Army has the grace of rebuilding in my Qing Dynasty, he is a loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty, and he will never do this thing without a father! It is proposed to crown Liu Kunyi as the crown prince and concubine, and to be promoted to the first class marquis......"

After a series of rewards came out of Cixi's mouth, Cixi raised her eyes and looked at the princes and ministers standing in front of her, but asked again.

"How's the situation in the city today?"

"Back to Lafayette, rebel against the rumors in the capital, now the capital is panicked, the price of rice is soaring, people have to run on the bank to cash out, so that the market must be traded in cash."

"Oh!"

Cixi was silent for a while before speaking to her ministers.

"Immediately telegraph to Tie Liang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and immediately lead his troops back to Beijing......"

Halfway through her words, Cixi glanced at King Qing and the others again, and pondered for a while before adding.

"Order Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang, to tune the elite to the south to suppress the rebellion in Hunan! At the same time, the land route is strictly investigated to prevent the provinces from rebelling, and the party is helping Hunan Province from rebelling! ”

This series of wills all shows Cixi's keen political sense, she did not slap the swollen face and make a fat man order to let Liu Kunyi "quell the chaos", let alone reprimand him, and did not even mention the matter of Jiang Ning, it seems that the matter of Jiang Ning is as if it has never happened, but directly ordered him to add titles, as if she wanted to use these titles to appease it, and at the same time, she ordered the Praetorian Guards transferred to Kulen to be repatriated, because she knew better than anyone that since Jiang Ning might be in trouble, then the capital, It's not that there is no possibility of chaos.

Jiangning's mess can be pushed to Liu Kunyi to handle it himself, and let Liu Kunyi weigh it himself, but what should the capital do? (To be continued.) )
