This change was nearly two years earlier than the historical Wuxu change, and 1896 was the year of Bingshen in the lunar calendar, so this change was called the Bingshen change.

After the implementation of the reform, it caused great dissatisfaction among the old school. In particular, the abolition of the system of the Eight Banners being supported by the state allowed them to fend for themselves. It was strongly opposed by almost all the Manchu nobles. Cixi was also deeply disturbed by this, so a few days after the issuance of the edict of the law change, Cixi forced Emperor Guangxu to issue three edicts in a row, first controlling the appointment and dismissal of personnel and the military and political power in the Beijing-Tianjin region, and preparing to launch a coup d'état. However, perhaps because she felt that the time was not ripe, Cixi did not rush to make a move.

Subsequently, with the continuous introduction of the reform decrees, the dissatisfaction of the DPRK and China with the reformers became more and more severe. The old guard in the Qing government could not tolerate the development of the reform movement. Someone wrote to the Empress Dowager Cixi, asking to kill Kang and thank the world; Yixuan and Li Lianying knelt down to ask the Queen Mother to "hang the curtain and listen to the government"; Yang Chongyi, the imperial historian, went to Tianjin many times to conspire with Rong Lu; There were even rumors inside and outside the court that Guangxu would be abolished and another emperor would be established.

The city of Beijing was overcast for a while, and Emperor Guangxu naturally sensed the danger. Emperor Guangxu issued a secret edict to Yang Rui, instructing the reform faction to plan good strategies and promote the reform of the law. The edict said: "I can't keep the throne, let alone anything else?" Emperor Guangxu realized that there would be a change, and he was in a dangerous position, revealing an anxious mood, and asked the reform faction to plan countermeasures.

Emperor Guangxu secretly advised the reformists several times to discuss countermeasures, but the reformists had no real power and were helpless, so they had to propose to Emperor Guangxu. The first is to reuse Yuan Shikai to deal with Rong Lu. Second, he issued a secret edict to Ren Chao in Shandong, and ordered him to enter Beijing to escort King Qin.

Emperor Guangxu adopted the views of the reformers. On the one hand, he secretly summoned Yuan Shikai and granted him the position of squire in order to win over Yuan Shikai. On the one hand, he ordered his cronies to go to Shandong secretly, and ordered Ren Chao to lead his troops into Beijing, and King Qin escorted him.

By mid-October, the situation had become even more tense. Tan Sitong secretly met with Yuan Shikai to persuade Yuan to kill Ronglu, raise troops to rescue the driver, and besiege the garden to rob the queen mother. Yuan Shikai promised on the surface, and after sending Tan Sitong away, he hurriedly returned to Tianjin. Yuan Shikai did not support the radical actions of the reformers, and he also knew that using the newly built army to "besiege the garden and rob the queen mother" was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. And it's a great sin of treachery. But Yuan Shikai didn't go to tell Rong Lu immediately.

But as soon as Yuan Shikai returned to Tianjin, he got accurate news that the Empress Dowager Cixi entered the Forbidden City from the Summer Palace and announced the training of the dynasty. dismissed Kang Youwei and other reformers. Yuan Shikai was afraid that Tan Sitong would persuade him to send troops to besiege the Empress Dowager Cixi. Imbue yourself. After weighing the pros and cons, he told Rong Lu. After Rong Lu received Yuan Shikai's whistleblower, he felt that the matter was very important. So he immediately sent a telegram to report the matter to Cixi.

At first, the Empress Dowager Cixi only reprimanded Kang Youwei for "disruptive politics" and suspended her post to participate, but did not mention Tan Si and others. The result of Yuan Shikai's informant was that Cixi was furious, ordered the arrest of Kangliang and others, and ordered Tan Si and the six gentlemen of Wuxu to be beheaded, and imprisoned Emperor Guangxu in Yingtai.

After Ren Chao received the secret edict of Emperor Guangxu, he was like a treasure. Ren Chao is worried that there is no justifiable excuse to lead troops into Beijing? Now with this secret edict, Ren Chao no longer has any worries, and immediately issued a military order, ordering the second division of the Huben Army to immediately take the train north to Tianjin to contain Yuan Shikai's new army. Ren Chao himself led the garrison brigade and the first brigade of the first division, with a total of 10,000 troops, to rush north and rush straight to Beijing.

The train that had been ready for a long time was loaded with the elite division of the Tiger Ben Army and galloped north along the Zhiji Railway. Soon more than 10,000 men of the Second Division rushed to Tianjin, and a confrontation with Yuan Shikai's newly built army was formed.

On the other hand, the 10,000 elite soldiers led by Ren Chao have also approached Beijing, and the Empress Dowager Cixi panicked after getting the news, and hurriedly sent a telegram to the garrisons in various places, ordering all the troops to enter Beijing to escort them. On the one hand, Prince Gong? Hurriedly rushed to Ren Chao's army with the holy decree and ordered Ren Chao to withdraw his troops back to Shandong.

Ren Chao naturally didn't listen, and on the grounds that Emperor Guangxu was held hostage by his ministers, he didn't admit Yi at all? The holy decree in his hand, and at the same time took out the secret edict of Emperor Guangxu to Yi? See.

Abundant? repeatedly warned Ren Chao that if Ren Chao withdrew his troops back to Shandong, the Queen Mother would be able to avoid the past, and if she did not respect the will, it would be a great crime of rebellion. Ren Chao didn't listen at all, and directly ordered Jiang Yi? He was placed under house arrest, and then ordered his troops to storm the city of Beijing.

At this time, in Beijing, although there are tens of thousands of troops, most of them belong to the Green Battalion of the Eight Banners. What's more, the Tiger Ben Army was personally led by Ren Chao, the commander who defended the sky, so in less than half a day, the Tiger Ben Army successfully broke through the outer city of Beijing.

After the outer city was breached, the Empress Dowager Cixi took Emperor Guangxu hostage and fled from Beijing. But as soon as he left the Desheng Gate, he was chased by the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army. After a fierce battle, Emperor Guangxu was successfully rescued, but the Cixi Lafayette was directly besieged by the Tiger Army in a private house outside the city.

All the guards were dead and could escape, and only a few eunuchs and palace maids were left around the Empress Dowager Cixi. Looking at the group of soldiers who rushed into the house, Li Lianying blocked the door and shouted, "Bold enough slaves, do you know who is in this house?" The Queen Mother Lafayette is here, how can you dog minions be presumptuous. Li Lianying's words were quite tough, but the sifting body and trembling voice showed how scared the old eunuch was at this time.

The group of soldiers didn't rush into the house directly, but just stood quietly in the courtyard, not even looking at Li Lianying. Li Lianying saw that those soldiers didn't act excessively, and thought that they were really afraid of Lafayette, so she was a little more confident, her body no longer trembled, and her voice became normal, and it became a normal old eunuch's voice, "You bold dog minions, when you see the Queen Mother Lafayette, you still don't kowtow to say goodbye, you collide with the holy car, don't you quickly kneel down and ask the Queen Mother Lafayette to spare your dog's life." ……”

"Yo! Who is this? So rampant! It's even better than Lao Tzu! It's just that why are you talking so! At this moment, a very loud voice came from outside, and a bearded officer walked in, and the officers and men in the courtyard got out of the way.

The bearded officer who came was none other than Wu Meng, the head of the cavalry regiment of the Huben Army Garrison Brigade, Wu Meng glanced at Li Lianying who was standing at the door, touched his beard and said with a smile, "I said how to listen to the voice of the girl, but it turned out to be a eunuch, and it was an old eunuch haha......"

"Where did the dog slave come from, blind your dog's eyes, do you know who is standing in front of you? Say it and scare you to death, this is our chief manager Li Gonggong, the Queen Mother Lafayette is sitting in the house, how can you dog slaves be presumptuous here! Before Li Lianying could speak, a little eunuch in the back couldn't help but jump out and point at Wu Meng and scolded. (To be continued......)
