"Extra! The Northeast Army was defeated by Chita, and the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Kuropatkin, said that the offensive of the Northeast Army had been curbed......"

"Outside the number, Tang Dashuai laughed and said that Ku's happiness was too early!"

Early in the morning, the newsboy who sold newspapers in the city waved the trumpet in his hand and shouted loudly, since the Sino-Russian war in the northeast was provoked a few months ago, the news about the war in the northeast has constantly occupied the front page of the newspaper, and the news of the surrender of nearly 100,000 Russian troops in Vladivostok shocked the world, and the city itself was also shocked by this news. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to being shocked, those in these Sijiu City, whether they are usually carrying a birdcage to play thousands of teas and have nothing to do, or the lord who is worried about the country and the people, will all rush to grab a copper dollar newspaper like crazy.

"God has eyes!"

When the news of the outbreak of war first came, even the gray-haired old people were whimpering.

It's not that God has eyes, the "Tang Rebellion" in the Northeast has been rampant for more than ten years, when to put the imperial court in his eyes, and even in the Northeast under its rule, the banner people have been pitted, not to mention anything else, the reclaimed land can be reclaimed to the edge of the imperial mausoleum, look at the posture, not to dig the ancestral grave of the Qing Dynasty or what.

Of course, more importantly, the Beijing camp has been pitted hard in recent years - the landed silver was initially withheld by the imperial court in the name of training the new army, and then it was simply not issued, even if the old and young masters went to cry the palace, the queen mother was determined to abolish the old system, the reason for this is not still on Tang Shun, if it wasn't for Tang Shun's rebellion back then, what kind of eight governors discussed politics, how could there be the current chaotic ministers and thieves? How could the imperial court force the training of the new army, and cut off the salary of the Eight Banners in order to raise money.

Now it's good. didn't wait for the emperor to send troops to clean up the Tang rebellion. He went to seek death by himself. This is really God's eyes!

But the news that came afterwards made these men in the flag laugh silently, the recovery of Vladivostok, they couldn't laugh, the great victory of nearly 100,000 Russian troops surrendered, they were also not happy, it seems that for these people, the only thing that can make them laugh out loud is probably the defeat on the newsprint. Well, the defeat of the Northeast Army.

God forbid, let the rebellious ministers and thieves be defeated, the Great Qing Kingdom can't clean up the rebellious ministers and thieves, so let Lao Maozi take care of it for you!

When the old and young masters in the Beijing camp prayed, the "good" and "bad" news would always come out of the newsprint, sometimes, the "good news" would make them happily set off a firecracker, and sometimes the "bad news" would make them annoyed for a few days without drinking tea.

But in any case. It's a day to live. What's more, not everyone in this capital dreams of "the Russian army test paper northeast." One day is reversed", some people expect him to lose, and some people also expect him to win, this is the position.

"No need to pinch, no need to count, Guangxu will not pass twenty-eight years!"

Although there are more than a million banner people gathered in these forty-nine cities, the beggars who want food are still there to ask for food in the allegro, and those "flag people" who are born with landed silver are different, these beggars who ask for food, when they say this slippery mouth, are also their position, and the blood in their bones tells them what kind of position they should hold.

"The world has turned upside down, all the prisoners are out of prison, red clothes are walking all over the streets, and long hair is in front of them!"

The beggars played allegro and muttered words that had changed, as if for them, the day had changed, and their hard days would come to an end.

"Hey, boy, what do you say that ......"

As soon as the owner of the birdcage shouted, the beggar who asked for food was not only not afraid, but continued to talk there in an allegro style.

"Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi, Riding Uncle, Angry Uncle, Angry Killing, Killing Flag Man, Xing Han, Dahan Xing ......"

The beggar who was not afraid of anti-music was rapping with allegro, but it was the flag man who was shocked, his face was white and afraid, and he hurriedly turned around and left......

The world is changing, and anyone can feel it.

The sky is about to change!

In the teahouse, several Eight Banner soldiers wearing the uniforms of the New Army, listening to the words of the beggars outside, silently pondered in their hearts, and several people looked at each other, and they could read the worries from their hearts from each other's eyes.

"Fu Liu, you say, if the Northeast Army enters the customs, can we stop others?"

Before Zhao Guowei's words were spoken, Fu Mingli on the side snorted and said.

"The surname is Zhao, I said that you are a Han military banner, that is, you changed your surname Tang to become the emperor, how can you get you? You're Han Chinese, and you're worried about a bird......"

Fu Mingli's words made Zhao Guowei's face flush, the Han military flag has always been an extremely embarrassing existence, they are Han people in front of the flag people, and they are flag people in front of the Han people.

"Shelving, putting aside the eyes of others, I, I am the flag man......"

Zhao Guowei said this in his mouth, but Le Erming on the side said.

"What flag people, Han people, aren't they all their own people, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, if Tang rebels into the pass......"

Without waiting for Le Erming to finish speaking, Fu Liu, who was hanging from the platoon leader, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and snorted coldly.

"Dexing, wait for the surname Tang to pass this level!"

Lowering his voice, Furoku continued.

"This newspaper says that there is a million-strong army ******** assembled, but in fact, now Lao Maozi's soldiers can go out more than 100,000 more than Tang Shun......

Looking to the left and right, as if to tell some secret, he whispered.

"You don't know, I heard from my lord, right now, the Russians are moving troops to the northeast, at most next month, what's going on with that storehouse......"

"Kuropatkin...... This old hairy name is really enough for anything else! ”

"It's not, it's just this Kuropata Gold, Kuye!"

Nodding, Fu Liu said in an extremely serious tone.

"The soldiers in my hand must be at least 800,000, that's 800,000 foreign devils!"

"My good girl, this, this person is too much!"

When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback, 800,000 foreign devils. Back then, when Lord Xianfeng would fight foreign devils in the capital. It's only 10,000 people when it's full. These 800,000 foreign devils. To put it ruthlessly, don't say that it is to destroy the Northeast, even if it is to destroy the Great Qing Kingdom, it is enough to make it.

"Hehe, it's not, tell you, when the time comes, as long as Ku Ye gently pushes with his little thumb, can the surnamed Tang be better? Not only can't it be better, but maybe it won't be possible to save your life at that time! ”

"Yes!"

Fu Mingli immediately snorted.

"According to me, the man surnamed Tang is not frustrated, he has spared him, for so many years, our Great Qing Kingdom has been pitted by this chaotic minister and thief......"

But no, the big guy was pitted by that person,

Although he was an errand boy in the new army, he received a salary of six taels or seven yuan a month, but this money was always hard money, and the men earned it with sweat and tears. What's more, since five years ago, the hardcore crops of the big guys have stopped. Although it is nominally a "pause", everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, and the "pause" is just a rhetoric.

Maybe the big guy's hardcore crops will never be seen in this life.

"I said Fuliu, who did you hear about that?"

Leerming looked at Fu Liu and asked with some disbelieving,

"From adults, of course!"

Fu Liu said mysteriously,

"Tell my brothers, in less than half a year, there will be nothing with the surname Tang in this world? Not to mention the surname Tang, even the other ones are also rabbit tails, and they can't grow! ”

Then he looked nervously at the people around him and said.

"This is a military matter, you can't say it!"

Looking at Fu Liu's nervous appearance, several people seemed to understand, knowing where he got the news from the adult? You can always know something about it when you are on an errand in an adult's house, not to mention that the master is the person who Prince Gong ordered when he was dying.

In this forty-nine city, in addition to the "white face" Duan Fang, who else can be.

"You mean ......"

Without waiting for Lerming to finish speaking, Fu Liu glanced mysteriously left and right.

"You don't know, now that old Maozi is dealing with that master all day long, like a grandson, why? Don't you still want to get some help from our Great Qing Kingdom! I tell you, look! Wait for Lao Maozi to clean up, surnamed Tang, hum ......"

After a sneer, Fu Liu said nervously.

"I didn't say anything! You can't get it out! If that master knew......"

As if he was afraid of something, Fu Liu looked a little nervous, but there was a little smugness in his expression, as if he was proud that he knew such a confidential thing.

"Could it be that the imperial court is preparing to send troops this time?"

Fu Mingli looked at Fu Liu nervously, Yu Fu Liu was different from being on an errand in the house, but he was on an errand in the Praetorian Guard, in case of a fight, when the time came, this little life would be difficult to protect.

"I didn't say it, you kid, which ear heard me say that I'm going to send troops?"

Fu Liu defended himself, and then said mysteriously.

"Actually, whether to fight or not, it's all the business of the adults, let's take the military salary of the imperial court, that is, listen to the military order, do you say this is the reason?"

"The director is reasonable, but it's ......"

Fu Mingli nodded and took another sip of wine.

"Let's put it bluntly, everyone wants to take the military salary, brother, we didn't take it in vain, didn't we, I in the dog days, the sun was like roasting oil, and our fathers could have sunburned off a few layers of skin? We are also benevolent and righteous to the court! ”

"It's not rough, Lao Fu!"

Zhao Guowei looked at Fuliu and said.

"We didn't take this military salary in vain, if we didn't have our lords here to support us, this court might have been taken away by those rebellious ministers and thieves, if you want us to go to the Northeast, it is not almost the same as letting us go to death......

The original loyalty, as soon as he heard that the imperial court was going to send troops, he suddenly showed his original form, for these flagmen who were accustomed to frivolity, they took military salaries, but just to eat.

In the past, the military salary was justified, and whoever let their ancestors enter the customs from the dragon and helped the Qing Dynasty fight the world. Now that the imperial court has deducted military salaries, not to mention, it still forces them to train all day long, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, isn't that killing people?

And the measure of money was taken for free? Don't take it for nothing!

may love the Xinjue Luo family, but I want the big guy to get these taels of silver and work hard for them! Is there such an unreasonable thing in the world?

"Heavenly Reason?"

Looking at the Duan Fang in front of him who was held into the military aircraft by Prince Gong with one hand, Rong Lu smiled bitterly.

"Lord Duan, I didn't expect you to believe this?"

He was laughing at Duanfang's innocence. If it's someone else. I'm afraid he'd already laughed.

"I don't believe it. What else can you believe in this? ”

Duan Fang looked at Rong Lu in front of him and said helplessly.

"The imperial court raises soldiers for a thousand days and uses them for a while, and it is natural to fight as soldiers, how can this not be a heavenly principle!"

"That's right, this is the Heavenly Principle! Can ......"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Rong Lu said seriously.

"Even if we transfer the Janissaries of these two towns to Mongolia. What can it be? My brother Duan, you don't really want to take the chestnuts for Lao Maozi! ”

"Chestnut in the fire?"

Duan Fang looked at Rong Lu in surprise, shook his head and sighed.

"Do we have the capital to take the fire out of the fire?"

What he said was the truth, the dignified Qing Dynasty court, now, is just a decoration, the so-called 50,000 Janissaries in the three towns is just the last bit of reliance for the Qing Kingdom to maintain decency.

In contrast, the Northeast Army now has an army of one million, even if the end side intends to take advantage of the Russians? Nor is that the capital not.

"The Russian minister wants us to send troops over, not to fight the surname Tang. It's for the division of troops surnamed Tang. After all, as long as we are, his surname Tang will not be able to rest assured......"

Then Duan Fang said again.

"As long as we do this. When Lao Maozi cleans up the surname Tang, they will hand over the Northeast to the imperial court at that time! ”

"What?"

Tie Liang, who had been silent, immediately said with a happy face when he heard it.

"This, this is a great thing! Not to mention anything else, as long as we get the Northeast, what Li Hefei and Zhang Nanpi have to do? ”

As the commander of the third town of the Praetorian Guard, although he knew that the Praetorian Guard was by no means the opponent of the Northeast Army, he was still moved after hearing this condition!

If the imperial court wins the northeast, then the world will be ...... It's too peaceful!

When the time comes, those Hanchens......

"Northeast ......"

Rong Lu muttered these two words, and then said.

"If the imperial court wins the Northeast, it is good, but it is ......"

Looking at the end in front of him and the eager Tie Liang, Rong Lu continued.

"Brothers, you don't necessarily want to go! Not to mention anything else, if the news spreads, they still think that we are going to fight with the Northeast Army, I'm afraid it will ......"

Not to mention those ordinary soldiers, even he Ronglu does not have the confidence to fight with the Northeast.

"We're not going to the Northeast, we're going to Mongolia! Just say ......"

After thinking for a moment, Tie Liang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Let's just say we're here to maintain neutrality! We are the court of the Great Qing Kingdom, and we can't let him Li Hefei do anything! ”

When he said this, Rong Lu nodded.

"That's a good idea, but it's ......"

Looking at the two in front of him, Rong Lu expressed another worry.

"If the Janissaries of these two towns fall to Mongolia, then the capital will be empty......"

"What about the air?"

Duan Fang said confidently.

"Who dares to be in the limelight, who can do it? Who has the guts to do what? The British Empire, however, said that the status quo must be maintained within this level. ”

Except for that two-and-a-half hanger, who would dare to offend foreigners when the Great Qing Kingdom is so big?

Duan Fang said this, which made Rong Lu breathe a sigh of relief.

But it's not that Britain is watching, who dares to do what?

"So, let's send troops?"

Speaking tentatively, Rong Lu looked at Duan Fang and asked.

"Send troops!"

Duan Fang nodded.

"But the Queen Mother ...... there"

For the emperor, Rong Lu didn't even mention it, as the president of the Praetorian Guard, he has never had the queen mother in his heart, and as for the emperor, he has never been in his eyes.

"The Queen Mother, we have to talk together! After all......"

After all, this is to transfer all the soldiers from the caretaker out of the capital.

Cixi, who seemed to be listening to the play, said that her eyes didn't look at Rong Lu and Duan Fang, who were kneeling on the ground, but she muttered in her heart.

"Rong Lu, when the sixth master was alive, he wanted to train the new army and the Praetorian Guard, it was for the sake of our Great Qing Kingdom, in order to keep the hundreds of thousands of bannermen in our capital, if they were all transferred out now, what would happen to this capital!"

Listening to the Queen Mother's question, Rong Lu hurriedly replied.

"Back to the Queen Mother Lafayette, the Praetorian Guard still has a co-army in the capital, and there are more than 2,000 policemen in the capital, even if the army attacks the city, just rely on the walls of the capital, it will be no problem to defend it for a month or two, and when the time comes, the Dongjiaomin Lane will naturally intervene,"

As soon as Rong Lu's words fell, he kowtowed and said.

"The Empress Dowager Lafayette, now that the Russian minister has agreed with the minions, when the time comes, as long as the railway in the northeast is leased to them, as for the rest, they don't want an inch of land, they will be handed over to the imperial court, with tens of thousands of taxes in the northeast a year, will the imperial court still be bullied like now?"

Duan Fang said as he spoke, and the tears seemed to be about to flow, and it seemed that they were all worried and humiliated.

"Over the years, the imperial court has worked hard to maintain, although it relies on Fujian, but Fujian is far away in the southeast after all, but Manchuria in the northeast is different, that is the ancestral land of our banner people, as long as we hold the northeast, even if it is not good in the future, we can be regarded as a way out, this Central Plains ......"

Although this is a bit heart-wrenching, but Cixi is not to blame, in fact, when King Gong was alive, they once said this, should not have failed to defend the Northeast, if according to the ancestral teachings, to keep the Northeast, how can there be today?

Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, Duan Fang hurriedly kowtowed and said.

"A slave is really a sin and deserves death......"

"Hey, you minion......"

With a long sigh, Cixi cast her eyes on the stage and waved her hand, interrupting Duan Fang's self-blame.

"In this world, that is, you are still thinking about our Great Qing Kingdom in your hearts, this military matter, I don't understand it as a woman, since you all said so, then do it!"

When the words fell, Cixi said to Guangxu who was sitting below as in the past.

"Your Majesty, what do you see?" (To be continued.) )
