In the middle of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the military force near Gyeonggi was composed of the Minister of Internal Guards, the Infantry Commander Yamen, and the two battalions of the Fengtai Battalion and the Xishan Ruijian Battalion to supervise the internal and external departments.

At the beginning of 19o3, in order to change the drawbacks of the army's exhaustion, the Qing government finally decided to set up a military training office, with Prince Qing Yixin as the general office, with Yuan Shikai and Tie Liang as the meeting and assistant respectively, and at the same time, each province set up a supervision and training office, which was concurrently supervised by the governors of each province, and set up three departments of military equipment, staff officers and instructors, constituting a consistent new army general training organization throughout the country, and making an innovative posture.

In 19o5, except for Yuan Shikai's Beiyang 6 Towns, which marked the formal establishment of China's new 6th Army at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the new armies in other provinces also formed regular formations such as towns or associations.

So far, the only military force that retains the Manchu Qing system and tradition is only the internal security system in the Forbidden City, and its supreme commander is mostly led by Manchu civil officials or Zhongtang, so it is also known as the Minister of Guard, Zheng Yipin, must be served by the children of the three banners, and there are six ministers of the interior below, from the first product, and two people in each banner are not the most trusted people in power.

As a Han person, being able to achieve the position of the head of the inner guard is inseparable from Yin Fu's love for more than 20 years in the palace, as well as Cixi and Guangxu's accompaniment to accompany the king on the way to Xi'an.

Of course, in Gong Baotian's heart, he knew that his nominal second chief under the Minister of the Guards was just a fictitious title of honor, the real strength and authority in the palace. It was still firmly in the hands of the six Manchu ministers, and the only ones he could lead were the Han guards who carried the flag and a small number of military attachés who guarded the five banners.

In fact, this also reflects the irreconcilable estrangement and even suspicion between the bureaucracy of the new army in various provinces with Yuan Shikai and the Manchu magnates, which is why Cixi later ordered Tie Liang to be the minister of the 6th Military Department, and in disguise brought the 36 towns of the new army under the direct jurisdiction of centralized power, and the military power in the hands of Han generals such as Yuan Shikai was slightly hollowed out.

Gong Baotian doesn't have much real power in his hands, so naturally there is nothing to talk about. According to his current prestige in the palace. If you just lead a team of guards and palace maids in and out of Yingtai or even the entire Forbidden City, it is not a difficult task, and when this team of guards is inside. There are also more times when the Dharma driving lotus of the great lama from the east is escorted. Basically, it can be said that the road is unimpeded.

"Stop. According to the decree of Lafayette, in order to clear the hidden danger of the palace fire, the Forbidden City and the inner palace will be under martial law today. Anyone who enters or leaves the car must get off the sedan chair and be checked......"

Gong Baotian stretched out his hand and motioned for the group to stop for the time being, while he himself stepped forward with some displeasure: "Which minister of the inner minister do you belong to, do you not recognize my Gong Baotian, or haven't you seen the Dharma of the Great Lama from the East, your courage is worthy of the inner palace guards to learn well......

The internal guard who shouted was stunned for a moment, looked at Gong Baotian's gloomy face, and couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, but before he could bow his head and reply, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind, "It's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lord Gong is not in front of Lafayette to escort, I don't know what is wrong when I run to this Yingtai, and the minions below won't do anything, so that Lord Gong laughs......"

Although the words were said decently, the tone was a little yin and yang, and when the person who spoke came slowly, Gong Baotian's heart suddenly felt cold, but he had to laugh to himself on his face, "It turned out to be Lord Bo, Baotian'er was ordered by Lafayette to invite the Great Lama from the East to Yingtai to adjust the emperor's body and bones, this is not just the end of the busy work......

Seeing that Bo Di Su's face gradually eased, Gong Baotian's heart couldn't help but breathe a little relieved, and he took a step forward and whispered: "This great lama from the east, in order to cure the emperor's long-standing illness in his body, is now seriously injured, and he instructed his subordinates and others not to disturb, so Bao Tian'er called a team of guards to escort the great lama from the east out of the palace......"

Bodisu nodded first, but in the end he still felt relieved, gently patted Gong Baotian's shoulder, signaled him to step back for the time being, and he led the two old eunuchs to the front of the lotus platform sedan chair of the Donglai Lama, "Bodisu is ordered by Lafayette to investigate the fire in the palace, and I hope that the Donglai Lama will take care of one or two, and lift the curtain ......."

This Bodisu is a descendant of the Borzigit clan, the third son of Boyan Nemoyou, the prince of Zhasak Bodol Gatai of the Horqin Left Wing Rear Banner of the Qing Zhe Limu League, this person is shrewd and capable, and he has won the trust of Cixi, so he can be described as an official and prosperous in his official career.

In the seventeenth year of Guangxu, he was named the Auxiliary State Prince, and in the twenty-ninth year, he managed the Tiger Gun Battalion, awarded the Minister of Military Parade, ordered to learn to walk on the Imperial Minister, and sought his life as the Imperial Minister, and in the thirty-second year of Guangxu (19o6), on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was appointed as the Minister of the Guard, and Tie Liang, the Minister of the 6th Military Department, can be described as one of the two major military generals.

In fact, as early as the previous year, there were rumors in the inner court that Bodi Su was ordered by Cixi, and a few days after the year, he was guilty of going to Kulen (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolian People's Republic) to persuade the 13th Emperor. Lai Lama returned to Tibet, so Gong Baotian planned to rescue Guangxu from Yingtai today, but he didn't expect that at the last moment when he was about to leave the palace, he was suddenly disrupted by Bo Disu's sudden appearance, and even the most critical step.

The four young lamas guarding in front of the rosette of the Donglai Lama had gloomy faces, but under the momentum of Bodisus's unangry and self-prestigious, they retreated a little helplessly, and were able to hold the important position of the Minister of the Guard, Bodisus's official authority and even his personal martial arts made ordinary people unable to look at them directly, even Yang Meng, who was disguised as the Lama of the Bitter Sea, did not dare to drag this injured body now, and stepped forward to stop Bodisu from forcibly opening the curtain in front of hundreds of internal guards.

Swish!

The curtain was lifted, and Bodisus's face was slightly relaxed, but he didn't expect that the great lama from the east was just like Gong Baotian said, like a puddle of mud piled up on the lotus platform.

"Wait!"

Just as Bodisus gently lowered the curtain and prepared to let go. The old eunuch who had not made a sound behind him suddenly shouted softly, which made Yang Meng and the others, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, unconsciously tighten again.

The old eunuch who spoke looked to be about seventy years old, and although his body looked like he was clumped, his dense silver-white head and red light made people feel that there was indeed a fairy figure like Tong Yan He.

"The people in the sedan chair breathe heavily and sluggishly, the muscles are relaxed and weak, either ordinary people who do not understand martial arts, or those who have exhausted their martial arts. Just to diagnose and treat the emperor's chronic illness. I'm afraid it won't come to this point, right? ”

As soon as Yang Meng's heart moved, his body instinctively rushed towards Bodissu, but before his fist rushed close to Bodisus, the old eunuch who seemed to be drooping suddenly opened his eyes. He screamed and shouted. "Looking for a fight!"

Swish. Compared with the action of culling just now, Yang Meng's sharp retreat was even more shocking, just thinking that the old eunuch only moved with his shocking eyes. With that piercing scream, a master like Yang Meng could involuntarily retreat backwards, and the power of the divine will in his eyes was simply unbelievable......

Gong Baotian's feet moved and he was still, and in a blink of an eye, his face was expressionless again, but a few guards behind him instinctively pulled out their waist knives and confronted the more than 100 guards who had just surrounded him.

"You little lama is not very old, kung fu has already been superb, I heard that there is a disciple under the seat of Donglai Phantom Sea, but I never thought that there was such a fire, but your body shape and Tai Chi fist will not be able to be taught by waste people like Donglai, is it possible that your body injury is also for the emperor to be treated?"

As he spoke, the old eunuch had already stretched out his hand to pull Bo Di Su behind him, and then under the movement of Bo Di Su's hand, the tense internal guards relaxed a little, but they confronted each other so cautiously.

"There are even Dan-level masters in this palace?"

Yang Meng's heart sank to the bottom, but he instinctively put out a Tai Chi round fist in his hand, and looked helplessly at the old man who had just woken up.

"Looking at the injuries on Donglai's body, I'm afraid you're poisonous, right?"

The old eunuch held his hands behind his back, and Reece stood in front of Yang Meng slowly, "When did Taiji Gate come out of such a genius as you, Yang Banhou was at your age, I am afraid that there would be no such fire, if it weren't for your young age, I'm afraid that the miscellaneous family would still think that it was Yang Luchan's descendant disciple......"

At this point, there is no point in covering up, seeing that he and others are failing, Gong Baotian raised his fists slightly, and was ready to break through, but he heard the old eunuch say another sentence slowly and leisurely, and had to put away his fists and feet, bowing his head and saying nothing......

"Slave royal snake, see the emperor's ......"

Yang Meng's eyes shrank slightly, but he didn't expect that this old eunuch would recognize Emperor Guangxu who was disguised as a palace guard around him without moving.

Guangxu's eyes were slightly red, and he asked in a trembling voice in a low voice, "You still know that your name is the emperor, since you are the secret guard of the imperial family, why do you only know how to obey your father, why do you have to force me so much, why can't you leave me a way out......

Bodisus's face was afraid for a while, and he hurriedly signaled his guards to put away their weapons, the affairs of this family are too complicated and unpredictable, and it is better for him not to participate or not.

The old eunuch stood trembling in place, looking at Guangxu's tearless face, and his eyes were unconsciously a trace of unbearability, "The emperor is joking, if there is no Lafayette in this Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that the number of qi has already been defeated by those chaotic parties and foreigners, what the old slave is doing now is to follow the mission of the secret guard, to extend the national glory of our Manchurians for as long as possible, and leave a way back for those people outside the gate......"

Looking at Guangxu's unconvinced and unwilling face, the old eunuch sighed, and continued: "Lafayette knew that the emperor was a little angry when he stayed in Yingtai, so he asked the palace lord to take the emperor out to relieve his boredom, but he didn't know that the emperor wanted to leave the palace in a micro-suit, so the old slave came to escort him...... The people outside the palace are unpredictable, if the emperor insists on going his own way, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn back, and I ask the emperor to move the Qianqing Palace ......"
