The Qing government set up Guangxi Province in Guangxi, and the highest official in Guangxi Province was the governor of Guangxi, stationed in Guilin, and the governor of Guangxi at this time was named Huang Huaisen, who was just an ordinary high-ranking official in the history of Lin Fei's era, and was not a very famous figure.

At this time, Huang Huaisen was sleeping soundly with the concubine in his arms in the governor's yamen, and when the sound of Zhang Jiancheng's troops' horses' hooves resounded throughout the city, someone woke Huang Huaisen up from the bed, and the one who woke him up was a servant, the situation was urgent, and he couldn't take care of avoiding the concubine, "My lord, hurry up and get dressed and run for your life, the Chinese army is coming." ”

Huang Huaisen slept in a daze, "Jing Hu said, it has been less than ten days for the Chinese army to break through Zhennan Pass, and from Zhennan Pass to Guilin, it will take half a month to go." ”

"My lord, don't believe it anymore, it's true, the Huaxia army has entered the city, and if you don't escape, you won't be able to escape."

Huang Huaisen was suspicious, turned over and sat up from the bed, dressed randomly, and the concubine was chattering chaotically on the side, at this moment, he suddenly heard random footsteps and gunshots from the courtyard outside, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and he was outside the door in a few steps.

Huang Huaisen saw that it was too late to escape, so he hurriedly pulled the servant, "You lie on the bed, quickly, you are me." ”

"My lord, I can't help it!"

"Hurry up, there's no time." Huang Huaisen said and pulled the servant onto the bed, turned over and got out of bed, "stabbed" and got under the bed, it was even sharper than seeing a cat and a mouse, Huang Huaisen saw that his shoes were still outside the bed, and reached out to hold the shoes into his arms, at this time the door was slammed open, Zhang Jiancheng took a few soldiers, holding torches, and rushed in.

Zhang Jiancheng walked to the side of the bed in a few steps, raised the torch and took a photo, only to see a man and a woman lying on the bed, the woman's delicate body trembled, the flower was discolored, and the man's whole body trembled, Zhang Jiancheng asked the man in a cold voice: "You are the governor of Guangxi, Huang Huaisen?" ”

The servant nodded, and Zhang Jiancheng burst into laughter instantly, because this servant was described as obscene and had no official authority, saying that he was Huang Huaisen, who could believe it.

Zhang Jiancheng glanced at the servant's body, saw that clothes, shoes and socks were readily available, and said with a casual smile: "It turns out that the governors of Guangxi all sleep in clothes, this is the first time I have heard of it." ”

Zhang Jiancheng's subordinates also laughed, the servant was so frightened that he was like a sieve, and his eyes involuntarily glanced under the bed, Zhang Jiancheng suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "It turns out that our famous Lord Huang Huaisen is under the bed, come and take Lord Huang Huaisen out." ”

Several soldiers squatted down and stabbed under the bed with the butts of their guns, and Huang Huaisen hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop, this governor is here, and he is rude." ”

The soldiers shouted angrily: "Huang Huaisen, get out." Huang Huaisen crawled out with a disgraced face, straightened his chest, and said: "I am the governor of Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and I am waiting for the hairy thief and grass coward...... Hey...... "It turned out that a soldier saw Huang Huaisen at this time, he was still arrogant, angry, and flew up and kicked Huang Huaisen in the stomach, Huang Huaisen screamed in pain, turned over and fell.

Zhang Jiancheng shouted the order "take away", several soldiers grabbed Huang Huaisen and walked out, only the servants and the concubine were left in the house, the concubine was already so frightened that she cried bitterly at this time, Zhang Jiancheng laughed evilly, "Little sister, don't cry, my brother will come back to accompany you in a while......"

The concubine was even more scared and cried even more......

Zhang Jiancheng occupied the governor's yamen, the sky was already bright, Zhang Jiancheng went out to calm the people, saying that the Chinese Empire sent troops just to overthrow the corrupt Qing court, and the people have nothing to do with it, everyone don't worry, the people in the city are stable.

The Chinese army occupied Guilin on July 19, and three days later, on July 22, the news reached the city of Beijing.

When Emperor Guangxu saw the folding, it happened to be in the last dynasty, Li Hongzhang, Weng Tongyi and other high-ranking officials knelt on the main hall.

After Emperor Guangxu finished reading the recital, he viciously threw the recital to the ground and roared loudly: "Damn Lin Fei, you deceived me too much." ”

Li Hongzhang asked cautiously, "Holy Lord, what's wrong with the snitch?" ”

Emperor Guangxu gritted his teeth and said: "The snitch, Guilin has been taken, and it was on the 19th day of the seventh month of the Western calendar. ”

There was an uproar above the court, everyone was stunned, Zhennanguan is a thousand miles away from Guilin, and Lin Fei actually sent troops from Zhennanguan in such a short period of time and took Guilin, it is incredible.

Emperor Guangxu coughed lightly, stopped everyone's uproar, and asked loudly: "Everyone, Aiqing, Lin Fei is very persecuted, do you Aiqing have a good plan?" ”

Everyone was embarrassed, and there was no good plan, and when there was silence, suddenly a loud male voice came from a distance: "Qiqi Sheng, Weichen has a good plan, you can retreat the snitch." ”

The person who spoke stood too far away, and Emperor Guangxu didn't see him at all, and Emperor Guangxu hurriedly asked the eunuch who reported the matter, "Who is talking." ”

The eunuch took a step closer, "Holy Lord, it is the editor of the Hanlin Academy who speaks, Liang Qichao, who is the proud disciple of Kang Youwei, the ambassador to the Chinese Empire. ”

"Xuan Liang Qichao replied recently."

"Hey, Xuan Liang Qichao replied closely." Liang Qichao walked quickly to Emperor Guangxu, knelt down to give a salute, and Emperor Guangxu said in a deep voice: "Don't be polite, if you have anything to say, say it quickly." "Emperor Guangxu wanted to defeat Lin Fei so much that he didn't wait for Liang Qichao to finish the ceremony.

"Enlighten the saint, this matter is too important, and Weichen wants to report to the saint alone."

As soon as Liang Qichao's words came out, everyone was stunned, since the Qing Dynasty set the Central Plains, no courtier dared to say such a thing to the emperor.

Emperor Guangxu frowned at first, and then asked, "Liang Qichao, can your method work?" ”

"Qi Qi Sheng, Liang Qichao does not dare to commit the crime of defrauding the king."

Emperor Guangxu thought for a while, "Okay, retreat from the dynasty, Liang Qichao, you move to the south study with me." ”

Emperor Guangxu took Liang Qichao to the south study, "Liang Qichao, let's talk about it now, what can you do?" ”

"Enlightening the Holy Lord, the teacher has always had an idea, hoping that the Holy Lord will be heavenly."

Liang Qichao's teacher is Kang Youwei, Kang Youwei's position in the eyes of Emperor Guangxu at this time is still relatively heavy, although Kang Youwei did not lead the Wuxu reform in this era, but Kang Youwei used all the strength of the leadership change to deal with Lin Fei, so he won the favor of the Guangxu Emperor.

When Emperor Guangxu heard that it was Kang Youwei's idea, Zhengse said: "Let's talk about it, what do you think?" ”

"Holy Lord, I am poor and weak in the Qing Dynasty, so I let others slaughter it, before England, France, and Russia invaded my borders several times and killed my people, the crime is not punishable, and now Lin Fei also came to take advantage of the fire to rob, it is really hateful."

"That Lin Fei was originally a sailor's pawn, in the battle of Dadonggou in the Yellow Sea, he was captured, he escaped by luck, he didn't want to return to the country to serve him, he actually went to Nanyang to establish himself as the king, and later invaded the land of the Qing Dynasty, the crime is unforgivable, and it is ten thousand times more hateful than England, France, and Russia."

Emperor Guangxu's brows tightened, "Don't say these words, just talk about your method." ”

"Wechen is guilty." Liang Qichao said apologetically, "Holy Lord, if I want to kill Lin Fei in the Qing Dynasty, I must first become rich and strong, but my Qing Dynasty has been poor and weak for a long time, and becoming rich and strong is not a day's work, if you want to become rich and strong within dozens of days, there is only one strategy." ”

"What is this policy?" Emperor Guangxu stood up eagerly and stared at Liang Qichao tightly.

Liang Qichao gently spit out four words: "Sino-Japanese alliance." ”

Emperor Guangxu was stunned, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Liang Qichao hurriedly explained: "That is to say, our Qing Dynasty and Japan are combined into one country. ”

"This ......," Emperor Guangxu's brows furrowed suddenly, "Is this really Kang Aiqing's proposition?" ”

Liang Qichao said with a straight face: "Yes, this matter is not strange in the Taixi countries, Norway can survive by merging with Sweden, and Hungary will not be destroyed by merging with Austria." Others, Ruyi and De are called imperial systems by the synthesis of all countries, which does not hinder autonomy and maintain prosperity. Therefore, there is no need to worry about it. ”

It turned out that the Sino-Japanese alliance mentioned by Liang Qichao really existed in Lin Fei's history, and the advocate was Kang Youwei, who wanted to make the Qing Kingdom and Japan a single country.

"If we form a country with Japan, then who is the emperor and who should we listen to for national affairs?"

"Well, the Holy and the Emperor can be called the 'Two Saints', but the country should be governed by the Japanese, who are much more civilized and civilized than the Qing people."

Emperor Guangxu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Let's discuss this matter later, Liang Qichao, is this your way to repel the snitch?" ”

"Qi Qi Sheng, this is just a method of Wechen, Wechen still has a way, before the Japanese friends sent a number of intelligent people to assist Lord Feng to defend the city, at this time, why don't we hire a Japanese friendly army to attack the snitch, this is the strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf."

Emperor Guangxu hesitated for a while, "Liang Qichao, have you thought clearly, are Japan's friends willing to send troops to assist me in attacking the snitch?" ”

Liang Qichao was confident, "Qiqi Sheng, I once talked with Mr. Kodama Gentaro, the ambassador of the Japanese Empire, and during the conversation, I asked him, if the snitch sent troops to invade the Qing Dynasty, how would Japan's friends respond? As a result, Mr. Gentaro Kodama told me very solemnly that as long as the Holy Lord agreed, they would send a strong army to the battlefield to expel the snitch. ”

Emperor Guangxu slapped the table fiercely, "Japan's friends are doing this, it is clear that they are deceiving me that there is no available hero in the Qing Dynasty." ”

"The Holy Lord is angry, my Qing Dynasty soldiers, they have been weak for a long time, they are really not the opponents of the snitch, but the army of Japan's friends, the combat effectiveness is quite strong, enough to support our army."

"But...... However, it is really shameful that I want to invite the Japanese to send troops in the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Don't worry, the saint has a strategy, which can make no one dare to laugh in the Qing Dynasty."
