Chapter 515: Blocking Dongjiaomin Lane (Part I)

In Beijing's Dongjiaomin Lane, many foreigners are also talking about the mob in Beijing. This simply shocked everyone, these foreigners didn't expect that this country was so decadent and backward, and they actually believed in the cultivation of invulnerability. This is simply terrifying, if it can really be invulnerable, then what do they need their technology for? What is even more absurd is that the rulers of China actually believed in this invulnerability and allowed them to find their own ways to cultivate it. What to eat overlord meals, what rape of women, and even murder also appeared. This scene made these foreigners feel breathtaking, it was simply terrifying.

"These Chinese are so ignorant and ignorant that they believe in such invulnerability. They actually went crazy in the whole capital, killing people everywhere, setting fire to and robbing, and the whole capital fell into a hell! "Yes! The capital of the Chinese is completely messed up, and those who kill, set fire and rob ** will not only not be punished, but those who sue will be punished. "Yes, an official of the Criminal Department wants to arrest his daughter because she was violent. As a result, the old queen mother was reversed. "In this era, those who commit crimes are not punished, but those who uphold justice are punished, what is wrong with this China?" "This may be a Chinese characteristic!" "Luckily I don't live in China!"

"By the way, I heard that they robbed a lot of foreigners in Shandong, will they continue to come and rob?" Someone asked.

"No, this is Dongjiaomin Lane, they eat leopards and dare to come and rob us?"

"Oh no, no, a big mob is coming outside. They have come to us and are shouting that they are going to sack our legations! "What? To ransack our legation? ”

The entire Dongjiaomin Lane also became panicked. Because those mobs actually took the initiative to ransack this legation, this is simply terrible. If so, then I'm afraid that the people in their legation will not know where to hide in the future. In this way, everyone will not be able to escape at all.

"Everybody's calm, everybody's calm. This is our legation district, so we don't have to be afraid of anything. They didn't dare to play anything to us. The British Minister to China, Zhu Erdian, shouted.

That's when everyone remembered, and then this was the legation area. The Chinese should not dare to do anything to them, and then they immediately ordered the troops protecting the legation to be dispatched, and then took charge of resisting the Boxer mob in China.

"Stop, if we don't stop, we're going to shoot!" Immediately a British soldier shouted.

But those Boxer mobs immediately came, and then saw the British soldiers, and immediately shouted: "Invulnerability, invulnerability!" ”

"Invulnerable!" "Invulnerable!" "Invulnerable!" ……

The Boxer mob also began to shout invulnerability, apparently not knowing if it was really their own invulnerability, or just to embolden themselves.

"Help clear the ocean. Help clear and extinguish the ocean, help clear and extinguish the foreign ......"

The gang immediately began to shout in unison and forcefully, and then expressed their determination to help the Qing Dynasty eliminate the foreigners. But those people in Dongjiaomin Lane were also very nervous and didn't know what to do. Because these Boxer mobs are outside, if they are not careful, they will immediately take the initiative to attack, and how can these civilian officials resist at that time?

"Send a telegram to the Chinese people immediately, and ask them to send troops to protect us quickly! Tell them if something goes wrong here. They will suffer a very serious price, and they will regret it at that time. Zhu Erdian said calmly.

Soon. A telegram was also sent to the Empress Dowager Cixi's Summer Palace, and then the Empress Dowager Cixi received a report.

"Queen Mother, those riots of the Boxers...... Well, the righteous people of the Boxers went to besiege Dongjiaomin Lane, and they said that they wanted to eliminate the foreigners for the imperial court. But the foreigners sent a telegram asking us to send troops to protect them. Otherwise, we will pay the price. Li Lianying said beside the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Cixi immediately snorted: "There are also times when these foreigners beg us? It seems that they are afraid of us! Leave him alone, let them be frightened, let's leave it alone for the time being, let them bear the fear first. ”

Li Lianying secretly complained in her heart. This Empress Dowager Cixi is too "petty". The Empress Dowager Cixi actually regarded international exchanges as a matter of palace fighting back then, which was really a big trouble. Even Li Lianying knows that international exchanges and personal court struggles are not the same thing at all. The palace struggle was only confined to a very small place, and it paid attention to all kinds of calculations, all kinds of conspiracy rules, and "close short-term fighting". However, the international struggle is dignified and open, and it cannot be false at all. There was not a level between the two, and the level of international struggle was obviously much more powerful than that within the court.

But this Empress Dowager Cixi has been in the court all her life, and then she first competed with the concubine for favor, and then stepped up to the pinnacle of power. It can be said that he got all this by relying on the so-called "palace fight". But success is also Xiao He defeated Xiao He, and the Empress Dowager Cixi came from behind. Gong Qi, their vision is also limited to this small area. The Empress Dowager Cixi is a woman, and her vision is smaller. Of course, this is not to discriminate against women, but it just shows that female politicians in this era want to enter politics in no more than one way, that is, to go backward. Palace this road. If it is a later generation, then there is naturally no problem, and women can also be in politics.

But this kind of woman who was born as a concubine rules the country, and it is inevitable that she has a feeling of being a small family. For a lot of things, and for a lot of international diplomacy, it's measured by that kind of palace fighting thinking. It would be absolutely absurd to use such a petty family as a yardstick to measure international battles.

In Cixi's heart, international exchanges and battles are nothing more than today, I will give you a face, tomorrow I will find the field, and the day after tomorrow the two sides will make a fuss. And now Cixi also hopes to give those ministers of various countries a look at their faces through these Boxers, so as to tell them that these ministers are Jingcheng, the capital of China, and the lives of these ministers are actually in their own hands.

But this kind of thinking is so terrible that you have to warn the minister, it is not this way! Since ancient times, it has never been heard of the purpose of warning the ministers of various countries to besiege and loot the legations. The envoys of various countries are strictly protected in the country where they are located, even if the first thing in the national war is to protect the legation, and both sides of the civil war dare not easily touch the legation. But Cixi started from the palace struggle, although he also knew this rule, but in fact, he didn't take this rule seriously in his heart. She always used the practice of palace struggle to deal with international struggles, and international struggles are open and close, and pay attention to absolute strength. But this palace struggle was a conspiracy, not a big deal. It's okay to use intrigue and trickery on your own political enemies. However, if you want to apply this kind of calculating man's practice to the world, and it is such a childish calculation, it will definitely laugh off your teeth.

Li Lianying, a eunuch who has been in contact with the outside for a long time, also understands this truth, but Cixi, an old woman, does not understand it at all. Cixi's outlook on life, worldview, and values have long been set, and she has always lived in the court, rarely really going out to walk outside. If they can walk outside, they might be able to get something out there. However, the corrupt and backward rules of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were already doomed, and their rulers could not leave the court to see the outside world, so that Cixi had no idea what the world had become. And Cixi was able to maintain the survival of the Manchu Qing Dynasty only by relying on her power and means. But conspiracy is useful at least internally, and almost uselessly externally.

"Hey, I'm a eunuch, what do you have to say?" Li Lianying thought.

Li Lianying knew that she was a eunuch, so she naturally couldn't care about anything, and if she did more, she might be regarded as a politician by Cixi. Although Cixi was the queen. The palace is involved in politics, but Cixi does not allow the eunuchs to continue to interfere in politics, so Li Lianying knows that if she dares to interfere in politics, then I am afraid that what awaits her next is certain death. Therefore, Li Lianying didn't dare to correct Cixi's words, but Li Lianying also knew in her heart that the time of the Qing Dynasty was running out. Not only is the country difficult, but even the rulers do not have the ability and mentality to turn the tide.

Li Lianying couldn't help but look to the south, he knew that the only thing that China could save in the future was Taiwan's Wang Guorui. But Wang Guorui wanted to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and then become the emperor himself, which the Manchu nobles would never allow. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to concede the lowest thing that was the constitutional monarchy, and also to ensure a certain amount of royal power, but also to ensure the vested interests of the banner people, which was the minimum condition of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, the two sides were destined to be unable to negotiate, and Li Lianying knew that the days of the Manchu Qing were numbered.

Although it can maintain its orthodox status for a while, once the ordinary Chinese people know the weakness of the Manchus, they will definitely abandon the Manchus and find a more suitable boss. Since they are all ordinary people, not everyone is the same as who is the emperor, why hang themselves on the tree of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? One emperor can bring glory to himself, the other can only bring humiliation, and anyone knows what to do. (To be continued......)
