The autumn rain was pouring down, and this rain was a bit like a summer rainstorm, and it came hard. Under this pouring rain, everything in heaven and earth is vast, and the figure of a person can no longer be seen from dozens of meters away, and everything seems to be hidden between the heavenly rivers flowing from heaven to earth.

The heavens and the earth are white and foggy. I can only hear the constant sound of water and rain in my ears, and there is nothing else between heaven and earth. It's hard to forget that a wave is happening in this land!

A revolutionary tide swept across the land like this torrential rain!

In this sudden heavy rain, at the exit of the Jingshi Railway Station outside the Yongding Gate, a team of officers and soldiers were carrying flags and weapons, and kept entering the capital through the Yongding Gate from the railway station outside the city. The mud puddles on Zhengyangmen Street became quagmire when they were poured by the rain like this.

These officers and men of the Beiyang Army, dressed in khaki uniforms, were already thinly dressed, and struggled to move forward in the mud in the heavy rain, and everyone was already soaking wet, and when the cold wind blew again, everyone looked shivering. But he still carried a gun and marched forward along Zhengyangmen Street.

In the heavy rain, the mules and horses dragging the field guns neighed and spewed white gas, pulling the gun wagons forward quickly, while the soldiers rolled into a ball like mud monkeys and pulled and pushed these tubes to retreat the guns.

At this moment, the sound of military boots drowned out the sound of rain. When thousands of soldiers marched towards Zhengyangmen with loaded guns, on both sides of the road, they were full of people, and people were standing like this in the rain, looking at this sudden Beiyang Army with happy faces, at the beginning, when this army appeared at the railway station, the people on the station thought that this was the army transferred by the Manchu Qing to suppress it, but then, a sun and moon flag dispelled everyone's concerns.

But for some reason, after the initial welcome, in the face of this sudden arrival of the army, people's expressions became more and more complicated, and the reason why it was complicated was because now even the most ignorant people knew what was about to happen, and they were about to usher in a great change of dynasty.

When this change did not come, they had longed, but when this change really came, there were many people at a loss, they were at a loss for the unknown fate, but this confusion did not last long, when the troops marched to the overpass, when the troops and those young students converged, they did not need too many words, just looked at the flag, the students immediately stretched out their hands to the soldiers with smiles on their faces, and more excited students even carried a young officer high.

The people were there cheering, and at this moment, the army really became the army of the people, yes, it was an army under the orders of the people.

"The advance team immediately blockaded the Forbidden City, and must not let Cixi and Guangxu escape from the Forbidden City, understand?"

In the waiting room of Xizhimen Railway Station, that is, the temporary headquarters of the sixth town of the Beiyang Army, Wang Shizhen kept giving orders.

"Order the twenty-third mark to enforce order in the whole city, and if there is a robbery while the fire is burning, the ...... will be shot."

Only half of the order was issued, and Wang Shizhen changed his words and emphasized.

"Outer City ...... Only"

This sentence undoubtedly excludes the inner city with a population of hundreds of thousands, for this order, no one will question it, in fact, for them, this seems to be a normal thing, every change of dynasty, always needs to be accompanied by bloodshed, and their duty is limited to protecting their own compatriots, as for those who have ridden on the heads of the Han people and raised their prestige for more than two hundred years, they are not within the scope of their protection at all.

After the orders were issued, Wang Shizhen handed over the command to the chief of staff, and then went directly into the VIP waiting room, where several people were waiting for him.

"General Wang raised the banner of righteousness for the first time this time, which can be a model for soldiers in the country!"

Wang Shizhen just entered the house, Sheng Xuanhuai complimented with a smile on his face, at this time he completely abandoned his identity as the head of Beiyang foreign affairs, and abandoning it also means that he got a place in the new dynasty, keeping his wealth and future, when changing the dynasty, every smart person will plan for the future, Sheng Xuanhuai is undoubtedly this kind of smart person.

"Mr. Sheng praised falsely, this move is just for the sake of the country to hurt a little less vitality!"

Wang Shizhen's expression seemed a little complicated, as far as his heart was concerned, he was not willing to betray Lord Zhongtang, who had the grace of knowing him, but he knew that Lord Zhongtang had run out of oil and lamp, but he was unwilling to be driven by others to get involved in the civil war, and under the persuasion of Sheng Xuanhuai and others, he made a choice that he thought was the most beneficial to the country.

As a soldier, he looked at the problem more from a military point of view -- no army in the whole of China could resist the attack of the Northeast Army, and he hoped that all this would become more stable than the loss of life in the Northeast Army in the future, just like now, all the arms and fires were within the controllable range.

"The country will be less injured, and the sooner it will become stronger in the future, General Wang, I thank the general for his patriotism and love for the people!"

Li Guangguang bowed deeply to Wang Shizhen. He knew what an important role the Sixth Town played in this "revolutionary wave", the Sixth Town of Beiyang was stationed between Tianjin and the capital, and was the elite of the Beiyang Army, and now that this army appeared in the capital and conquered the Forbidden City, it would inevitably clear the connection between the incident and the Northeast, making the whole incident look more like "the spontaneity of the people" and "the spontaneity of the soldiers" rather than a conspiracy.

"Okay, let's stop flattering each other,"

At this moment, Zhang Peilun took out a telegram that had already been written and handed it to Wang Shizhen.

"Pingqing, there is a telegram here, look at it, in the name of the millions of people in the capital division and all the officers and soldiers of the sixth town!"

Wang Shizhen, who looked serious, took the telegram and glanced at it, everything was just like his initial guess, this telegram was not only a telegram to express his position to the outside world, but also a telegram of "support", the telegram was in the name of millions of people and the officers and soldiers of the sixth town to invite "Tang Shuai to ascend the throne as emperor" and enter Beijing to preside over the overall situation.

"I see! Now I'll have you send ...... directly from the train station."

Without any hesitation, Wang Shizhen immediately made a decision.

"One more thing!"

Li Guangguang looked at Wang Shizhen, his eyes glanced north, and Wang Shizhen nodded and said.

"I know how!"

The gunshots rang out for an hour, and in the midst of that burst of gunfire, Cixi issued a decree to summon the Minister of Military Aircraft, but she didn't even know where the military aircraft on duty went, in fact, it was not that the Minister of Military Aircraft didn't know where he was, but that there were mobs everywhere outside the palace, and the will could not be sent out at all.

"Li, Li Hongzhang betrayed ......"

Just this sentence, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, all frightened, the Empress Dowager Cixi was about to inquire about the source of the news, and heard a trembling voice outside the curtain.

"The thieves of Beiyang are about to come in, why don't Lafayettes leave quickly?"

When he looked closely, it was Rong Qing who knelt outside the curtain, and he was the only one, who desperately entered the palace at the last moment, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were walking around for a while stopped their steps, and their eyes were invariably focused on the face of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Let's go, let's go, where now?"

Empress Dowager Cixi walked to the curtain and asked.

"Go to Dongjiaomin Lane!"

Rong Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, said directly.

"With the protection of foreigners, Lafayette and the emperor will not be in danger of their lives!"

Cixi, who knew very well that this was not an ordinary military rebellion, heard Rongqing say this, she immediately understood that this may be the last choice, and now only foreigners can protect their mothers.

"Rongqing, you say, is this Li Hongzhang really betrayed?"

"Li Hongzhang didn't know if he betrayed the slaves, but the slaves only knew that the tens of thousands of troops and fast artillery of the Beiyang Army had entered the city, and in half an hour, they would attack the city with fast artillery......"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud noise in the distance, I don't know if it was thunder or an explosion, but it made Cixi's heart tighten, and in the face of such a crisis, her thinking was sharper, so she asked,

"Rongqing."

"The minions are here."

"Did you find the car?"

"Found it, a total of thirty-two carts......"

"Okay, the mourning family will leave immediately."

Nodding, the Empress Dowager Cixi then ordered:

"Find the emperor quickly!"

At the moment when Cixi made this will, several violent explosions occurred one after another, only to make the Forbidden City shake with the ground, which was the cannon sound of the Beiyang Army bombarding the palace. The sudden explosion only made Li Lianying's heart tighten, and she hurriedly asked.

"Does Galeries Lafayette change his clothes first, or comb his hair first?"

"Comb your hair?"

The Empress Dowager Cixi touched the back of her head, and Fang Shi suddenly realized that if she wanted to escape now, she had to pretend to be a Han first. The hairbrushed by the women of the banner people, the style is different from the bun of Han makeup, and it is divided into two strands of drooping, called "swallowtail", commonly known as "putting the head", if you only change your clothes and do not change your hair bun, it is still difficult to hide the truth.

"Let's change our clothes first!"

Transferred to the back of the dormitory, and so on to take out a set of cloth clothes and skirts wrapped in yellow clothes, the Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help but be stunned that she was thinking about unloading the queen mother's clothes, which is equivalent to unloading the identity of the queen mother.

"No way!"

Staring at the cloth dress, she said in her heart.

"You can't humiliate yourself so casually, this is an insult to the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, not to mention that you have to let foreigners see it!"

This idea just came to me, and when I couldn't make up my mind, I heard a "whoosh" sound, and a stray bullet flew in from the window. At this time, the reality of her life was in danger for her to stop thinking about it, so she asked the palace maid to wait, changed her clothes and shoes, and staggered to the front, feeling very uncomfortable.

Walking to the mirror, the Empress Dowager Cixi looked at her body and laughed mockingly.

"I didn't expect that after being the queen mother for so many years, she is now pretending to be a country grandmother?"

"It's good to be like ......"

Li Lianying said as she held her arm.

"The slave waits for Lafayette to comb his hair."

Li Lianying has not combed her hair for many years, but she is still very skillful, untying the "swallowtail", combing it slightly, and combing it into a falling horse bun with Chinese makeup.

"When you were a nobleman in Fenglan, you would think that there would be such a day in your life?"

The Empress Dowager Cixi pretended to be open-minded and said.

"I didn't expect that I, a flag man, would be dressed as a Han again, so that I could live......"

Li Lianying didn't answer the Queen Mother's question, but just paused and asked.

"Please Lafayette's will, in addition to the emperor and queen, who will send someone to accompany you?"

This made the Empress Dowager Cixi hesitate, there are so many palace dependents, it seems unfair to bring this or not that, and if you bring it all, it is a burden. Maybe everyone will have to stay on the way, so I thought for a while before I said resolutely.

"Bring no one!"

At this time, the emperor who was saluting in the Shouhuang Palace had already arrived, and the Empress Dowager Cixi did not wait for him to kneel down and say goodbye, so she immediately said loudly:

"How are you going to do this dress? Quick change, quick change"

So the palace maids took off the red tasseled hat and robe for the emperor, and Li Lianying found a thin cotton robe made of half-old Xuanxi Xinghu crepe and put it on for the emperor. The emperor's body is thin, and his clothes are wide and large-sleeved, and they are not tied, which looks too unfitting, but he has no choice but to settle.

At that time, the concubines and concubines of the palace had been notified to gather in Ningshou Palace to ask for peace. The Empress Dowager Cixi is really a little ashamed to see people by herself, but since she is the master of the first palace, before she goes out, no matter what, she can't do without a word to explain.

"The thief is going to attack the palace!"

The Empress Dowager Cixi spoke very slowly, and her voice was not high.

"I can't help but leave with the emperor, for the sake of the future of the Qing Dynasty. You don't have to go with me for the time being, don't be afraid, be patient for a few days, I will go to the legation with the emperor, and then issue an edict depending on the situation. ”

At this point, there are already sobbing voices. The Empress Dowager Cixi also felt embarrassed, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and had to say a few words to comfort everyone and confess.

"Actually, I can't bear to let you go, but it's impossible to force it for the sake of it!"

The Empress Dowager Cixi had an idea and told a lie.

"I have already told King Qing that he will negotiate with Li Hongzhang and them, I want to come to Li Hongzhang is also my old minister of the Qing Dynasty, that is, to save face, I will not leave you weak women, I will discuss with the emperor and the ministers, and then the legation will exert some pressure, and if you want to come to Li Hongzhang, they will definitely protect you, go back!"

The concubines in the palace, no one dared to argue with the Empress Dowager Cixi, and looking at it like this, it was obviously impossible to flee with the two palaces. Thinking about it like this, no one made a request to obey, and everyone knelt down.

"The Queen Mother, the Emperor is a lucky star all the way, ...... as soon as possible Back to Luang! ”

Then lined up in front of Donghua Gate, waiting to kneel to send the two palaces to open their feet, and when the last two words were spoken, everyone cried, everyone knew that they were afraid that the emperor and the queen mother would leave like this, and there was no possibility of returning to Luan.

This great Qing kingdom is about to fall......

In the Empress Dowager Cixi, at this point, of course, she couldn't care about any etiquette, so she walked out of Donghuamen and hurried west, followed by the emperor and empress. In addition, there is a large group of eunuchs and palace maids. (To be continued.) )
