In the wee hours of the morning, a loud bang shook the earth!

The Empress Dowager Cixi was sleeping in a daze, staring at her, dreaming of reorganizing the imperial army, returning to the old land of the Central Plains, putting down Yang Hao's rebellion in one fell swoop, and recovering the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing hundreds of thousands of troops waving their banners and displaying murderous spirits, they besieged the defeated revolutionary legions. She was dressed in the costume of Guanyin Bodhisattva, holding a white jade bottle, and the clouds were steaming under her feet, as if she had a majestic figure. The condescending contempt for Yang Hao, who was no longer as high as her toes, let out a witty words that reverberated through her mouth, and it seemed that all it took was a scold, and a boundless thunderbolt descended from the sky, turning those rebellions into ashes in one fell swoop.

She felt as if she was reciting the Great Compassion Mantra, and the words followed, and the heavens and the earth responded, and in an instant, there were thousands of thunderbolts rumbling in the sky, and suddenly "Kara" ...... with a loud bang.

She woke up!

Her mind was dim, and Cixi looked at the top of the tent with blank eyes, as if she had not completely woken up from her dream. But a sudden heart-rending scream next to her stimulated her heart jerked, and she shivered involuntarily, and she was completely awake!

The palace maids and eunuchs who were lying on the side and serving poured in almost at the same time, skillfully holding the lamp and setting up the curtain and holding the handkerchief to carry the water, and cooperated seamlessly.

Cixi pushed away the arm that wanted to help her up, and asked, "Why did the emperor wake up?" How do you do your errands? ”

∝ Li Lianying walked in with the voice and replied cautiously: "Lafayette, the emperor is afraid that he heard the sound of the cannon and was frightened!" ”

Cixi gently patted the silk quilt and sighed faintly following his words: "Alas. On weekdays, he looks quite smart and bold. Why can't you stand the slightest movement and fright...... Well?! Cannons, you say?! ”

Xu is usually overworked. In addition, she is also a lot older, Cixi said a few words before she suddenly came back to her senses, and her two old eyes radiated a sharp and cold brilliance. Her lazy body stood up, and pushed away the courteous palace maid, like a wolf with sharp claws!

"Cannon?!"

Cixi repeated the word she was most worried about and most sensitive to, and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside. Faintly, the roar of the uncertain heights was erupting one after another in the far east distance!

Where did this sound come from? Couldn't it be thunder?

She tried to find a reason for herself, and she still had a 1/10,000 luck in her heart. A sudden thunderclap explosion sounded nearby, and it was as if someone had placed a thumb-thick cannon on the side of her chariot!

Cixi was so shocked that she trembled all over, and was about to open her mouth to say something, when she suddenly heard a thin and long piercing scream outside! That movement in the dark of the night can scare people to death!

The old woman's violent temper was finally stimulated, and she slapped the bed and scolded: "What's the matter?!" someone and shut him up! The dignified king of a country can't even stand such a small movement, so that others can hear the joke! ”

Li Lianying's old face fell, and she turned out helplessly, unable to hear what he said. I listened to the young man's screams getting higher and higher-pitched, and shouted like a splash and roll: "I'll shout!" I'll just shout! I'm scared. You old dog minion, get out of the way! ”

Cixi heard the fire and bumped into it, but she felt that Xiao Lizi had always been neat and quick, and she often coaxed the little emperor to be happy on weekdays, so there would be no mistakes.

She had just turned this thought around, when she suddenly heard a crisp sound of "pop" over there, Li Lianying's duck throat dragged an "oops", and then there was a chaotic movement of furniture being knocked down.

"Bastard! Do you want to be decent?! ”

Cixi finally got out of her anger, stood up suddenly, didn't even wear the shoes at the bottom of the flower pot, and rushed over with great strides. When the curtain was lifted, a wooden wall separated the bed for the little emperor on the huge chariot.

She raised her eyes and saw that the little emperor was standing on the bed wearing only his underwear, his face was full of arrogance, one hand was on his waist, and the other was pointing at Li Lianying and scolding!

Cixi's chest was aggrieved, and a sense of powerlessness came out of her heart, and she regretted that she had chosen such a child as emperor in the first place.

The fourteen-year-old Emperor Baoqing, who was still a very neat and good boy when he was in the Duanjun Palace, was also a blood relative of the Yehenara family.

Two years ago, the two palaces were hunting in the west, and Cixi decisively abolished Guangxu and put her real name Aixin Jueluo? Pu Jun's eldest brother gave him the throne. I thought that this little guy was more obedient and easy to control. Who expected that after the emperor's throne was stabilized, Emperor Pu Jun of Baoqing was suddenly revealed!

In the buzzwords of the 21st century, Pu Jun is a standard "bear child".

He is very smart in his own right, and he can learn all sorts of things as soon as he learns them. Cixi has nothing to do to watch the troupe, as long as the horns on the stage sing once, he can slip out smoothly, and he has a clear eye and a complete tone!

The teenage hairy child is very active, Pu Jun has nothing to do, and he also follows the Ouchi guards to dance with guns and sticks, sneaking out with the eunuchs every once in a while, running through the horse market, flying and domineering, fighting cocks and dogs, blowing, playing and singing, and can play anything.

The most excessive thing is that this kid understands personnel too early, and when he entered the palace at the age of thirteen, he learned to fool around with the palace maid. Once he was caught and punished by Cixi, and when he was about to smoke the bamboo whip, he found that the palace maid was actually wearing his dragon underwear .......

Emperor Baoqing was absurd, willful, temperamental, and a scoundrel. None of the princes and ministers in the palace and outside the palace can control it, that is, Cixi pulled down her black face, and she can still make this kid afraid.

Fang Cai, who must have been awakened by the sudden sound of cannonballs, shouted noisily according to his usual temper. If this is safe and secure in Xi'an Palace, the big guy will follow his temper, and he will be fine when he finishes venting.

But now it can't be done, the big guys are on the way to escape, and the sound of artillery in the distance is clearly that the enemy is attacking, knowing that her own army is not useful, Cixi has already held back the fire in her belly. This kid didn't know what to do, and he suddenly exhausted Cixi's last bit of patience!

is a good Empress Dowager Cixi Lafayette, who has been in charge of the world for decades, and she opened her clothes with one hand. The footsteps were slow and heavy. Teng came to the front. His eyes were cold, and he stared at the little emperor and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, come down." ”

The tone was gentle, and the movement was not big, but including Li Lianying, who fell to the ground, and the palace maids and eunuchs who served behind, they all shivered together, and they felt a cool air rushing out from their necks!

I've been serving Galeries Lafayette for a long time. They knew the old lady's temper best. If it's a tantrum and scolding, it won't be too much of a problem. But as long as the emotionless man speaks, every word will be stained red with blood!

Although Emperor Baoqing was smart, after all, the level of observation was not at home, and he didn't know that the situation was urgent for a while, so he stiffened his neck and shouted: "I won't do it!" ”

With that, he sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands clasped to his chest, his head twisted to the side.

A dark cloud appeared on Cixi's face, and she suddenly raised her arm and slapped her round. Shine on the side face of the little emperor and smoke it with the wind!

"Smack!"

It was like the crisp sound of a small firecracker exploding, echoing in the wooden house. Li Lianying's shoulders shrugged as she listened. secretly shouted for the other party: "Hey, this hurts!" ”

Emperor Baoqing's twisted head was just pumping this slap!

The bear child never imagined that Lafayette's father, who was reluctant to move his finger on weekdays, would beat him so ruthlessly! The force was too great, and the young man's pink cheeks were numb, and the inside of his mouth was broken, and a streak of blood mixed with saliva squirted out!

After being stunned for a few seconds, the little emperor came to his senses, covered his cheeks and tilted his head back, just about to splash and roll around.

Cixi's eyes widened, and she pinched a handkerchief with her left hand and pointed at his nose, so frightened that Emperor Baoqing's body trembled, and he forcibly held back the screams that reached his throat!

He's a mix, but he's smart enough. A slap knocked out the anger of getting up, and at the same time reminded him of what a terrible person this sixty-year-old lady in front of him was! Tens of thousands of people in the world were played and applauded by her. Countless deceit inside and outside the palace could hardly shake her position. I don't know how many lives she has lost in her quiet slow words!

Emperor Guangxu, who was a wise and wise man who had always been favored by the great powers and countries, was the supreme leader of the ministers who collectively supported and prepared the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. It once gathered the world's young elites and launched a huge reform movement. The result? It's not that the old lady has overthrown it with a light finger!

Since Cixi can find out his Pu Jun to be the emperor, it may not be possible to change to a more obedient one!

It's hard for the bear child to think of so many things in a blink of an eye, in short, he didn't dare to call anymore, covering his bloody mouth with an aggrieved face, sitting there sloppy, cowering and not daring to face it.

Cixi turned around expressionlessly and said lightly: "Help the emperor clean up, no matter how critical the moment, the dignity of the Son of Heaven cannot be forgotten." Little plums! ”

Li Lianying hurriedly got up and agreed with her shoulders.

Cixi shook her handkerchief and ordered: "Ask someone to ask Rong Lu, how did he do an errand?" Tell people to hit under their noses, and they don't know? ”

Li Lianying hurriedly agreed, turned her head and ran down. As soon as he got off the chariot, he saw Rong Lu being carried by four sturdy Goshha and hurriedly ran over, and when he saw that it was him, he hurriedly bowed his hand and asked in a low voice: "Manager Li, how is Lafayette over there?" Didn't get any fright? ”

Li Lianying knew that it was not the time to take it, so she waved her hand happily: "Don't say anything, Lord Shangshu, hurry up and gather soldiers and horses to escort Luan to set off!" ”

Rong Lu immediately reacted, and shouted in a loud voice: "Please return to Lafayette with Manager Li, the minions are fighting their heads, and they must protect Luan across the Yellow River!" ”

After shouting, he lowered his tone and said to Li Lianying: "Please ask Mr. Li to take care of the things inside, brother, then gather the soldiers and horses, how can I block the enemy who is coming!" ”

He said sincerely, and when Li Lianying went to reply, he turned his head and hurriedly ordered the generals under his hands: "Hurry up!" Gather all the cavalry for the master, don't care if you are comfortable or not, in short, try your best to drive Luan straight to Baotou, and don't stop halfway! ”

Then he sent an order to Zhang Xun that he must take the soldiers and horses of the fourth town to immediately reinforce the fifth town, and stop the enemy army for a while at any cost. As for how much they can survive, who cares!

Rong Lu knew very well in his heart, whether it was 50,000 or 100,000 new troops. At all, it can't stop the revolutionary army's one move and two styles. Even the great powers can't beat them. In exchange for a bunch of scrap firewood, it is even more needy. For the sake of the present. It is to let enough substitute ghosts to block the eye-catching, and buy enough time, so that Luan can drive the cars of these princes and ministers, and cross the Yellow River as much as possible!

As long as they arrive in Baotou, there is a defensive fortress, as long as they can block it for a few days with the help of geographical advantages, they can run freely to Uriya Sutai!

The order was given, and Zhang Xun took five or six thousand men and horses from the fourth town to rush to the east battlefield very bravely. At this time. The artillery fire of the 15th Division of the Revolutionary Army began to extend to the west, and the shining explosion light was particularly dazzling in the darkness before dawn, and the sky could be seen from a distance of more than ten kilometers.

Rong Lu didn't say a word, scolded the people to hold up the chariot, and with the countless various vehicles, he rushed towards the north like a gust of wind!

The two years of preparation were not given in vain, and the accidents that may be encountered in the entire escape plan were planned. Basically, starting from Xi'an, the two palaces and luans didn't get off the car. They ate and slept in the car. Check the status of the vehicle at any time along the way, and the horses are ready 24 hours a day. Once the situation is discovered. Drag it over and hang it up and you're ready to go.

The fly in the ointment is that a large number of princes and ministers dragged their families with their families, and each of them brought too many soft treasures. There are dozens of cars in a family, and they are all rubber-tyred trucks from the east, but the two horses are also very laborious.

The cannon rang out suddenly, but their house slaves didn't necessarily take it as well as Luanjia. Moreover, the Manchu nobles were used to enjoying it, and it was impossible to sleep in cramped carriages. They were all military tents that were camped in the evening and put up first-the military tents that the imperial court had spent a lot of money to buy from Yang Hao, and they were all requisitioned. As for the use of the army, who cares!

The old man has to have a silk quilt to sleep, and he has to hug the concubine, otherwise he won't sleep well. In the past few days, I felt that when I got to the grassland, there should be no big problem, so I relaxed my vigilance.

Suddenly there was a rumbling of cannons, and people were shouting and neighing, and they were in a mess. As soon as he got up, he was shocked to find that the two palaces had already run away surrounded by thousands of cavalry!

On weekdays, the relatives of the emperor who rely on their identities have scolded! But what's the use of them scolding the flowers? Look at the light in the east, listen to the loud noise, it's time to die!

No matter what kind of dignity and inferiority order, the crowd of migrants crowded into a pile as large as a city became panicked as if they had blown up a hornet's nest! The old lady and the prince Belle Ago Gege, whatever mess he has, drag it and run away after getting in the car!

This is not the orderly migration of the past, with tens of thousands of troops hugging each other to ensure that they move slowly for dozens of miles a day. Soldiers are in the city, they can die at any time, decent rules, fuck it!

Looking down from the blue sky, you can see that thousands of lights and flames suddenly lit up in the huge camp that leads from the plateau to the Pingchuan meadow. It was a flashlight and a horse lantern bought at a high price from the east, and with the panic and noise in the middle, it quickly spread around!

Ten minutes later, the entire camp was in a boil! The sparkling light swayed like countless fireflies had blown up their nests! The cries of crying dad and shouting mothers were mixed like a landslide and tsunami, and an invisible aura of panic quickly spread to everyone's body, and then absorbed and amplified, spreading farther away!

A few minutes later, the messy points of light suddenly exploded in all directions, and countless carts or mules and horses pulled or dragged by manpower, regardless of east, west, north and south, rushed wildly!

The scattered crowd swelled countless times in an instant, and hundreds of thousands of people panicked, and they happened to face the vast grassland, so an unprecedented spectacular scene appeared!

The overwhelming crowd, thousands of vehicles, countless mules and horses, rumbling and colliding, rubbing, tumbling, and rushing. Boiling like a landslide and tsunami, disturbing like the end of the world, regardless of running to the wasteland desert, the pig and the wolf run are difficult to describe its wolf bèi!

Rong Lu took the elite soldiers to follow Luan and fled first, a few miles away, when he heard the boiling like a fried pot behind him, his heart was dark and sad, full of helplessness.

The Great Qing Kingdom is officially finished today.

On the right road, Zhang Xun rushed forward with thousands of soldiers and horses to meet the sound of gunfire, and only a few kilometers after passing it, he heard the chaos behind him.

He looked back at Ma Gaopo and could see the lights of Luan's driving, and his cronies were frightened and couldn't help but advise: "My lord! The court has run away, do we have to think about it! Just rush up...... The cannon over there is a wicked sound! ”

Everyone knows that the artillery of the revolutionary army is powerful, and rushing up to it is more or less a death, not cost-effective!

Zhang Xun snorted expressionlessly: "The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the Monarch." The court treats us well, so we just ran away, can we be worthy of the favor of the emperor and Lafayette? In any case, we must be loyal and filial! Pass my orders and keep going! ”

The cronies sighed, and the procrastination of the troops continued to arch forward. After walking not far, I was faced with a rout, and the frenzy of losing their armor fled over!

Zhang Xun repeatedly ordered the soldiers to stop them, but he heard the routs screaming as if they were stupid: "Cannon!" So many cannons, coming, killing! ”

The soldiers of the fourth town are in chaos! They are not a star and a half stronger than the fifth town, and how terrible is it that the artillery fire on the opposite side can scare people into this virtue?!

Soon, they experienced it for themselves!

The hundreds of routs on the front rushed away, and then a piece of shells smashed over the front and rear legs!

Zhang Xun and the Qing army were caught off guard and overturned a large area at that time! Before he could come back to his senses, a horse's hoofs shook like thunder, and the sudden killing that swept through the wind and clouds arrived!

The fourth town, even Yicheng firepower, failed to exert its firepower, and immediately collapsed and fled with the rout in front of it!

By the time it was dawn, the entire right defense line had completely collapsed, and nearly 20,000 Qing troops had been defeated one after another, completely exposing more than 100,000 migratory brigades to the front of the 15th Division!

At this time, Cixi's Luan drove to the edge of the Yellow River. Behind them, the steppes fifty kilometers wide were sprinkled with fleeing crowds! (To be continued......)
