Chapter 50: The Restoration Ceremony
Zaitao's face immediately changed: "How can this be? Who did this to you? ”
Lord Belle was really a little angry, the Qing Dynasty had gone through this ordeal, and finally waited for today's opportunity, who is making trouble here?
Squeezed everyone to the bottom of the pillar, and when he looked at it, Zaitao was stunned.
In this era, there are no time bombs, and most of the detonation is ignited by open flames and friction, and where you want to blow up in advance, after burying the explosives, most of them have to pull a fuse and detonate it outside. But the two explosive packs in front of Zaitao were not like this at all.
Two explosive packets are placed in a row with an alcohol lamp in the middle, and two leads are located on top of the alcohol lamp. There was also a small box, placed on top of two thin round wooden sticks on the alcohol lamp, and there was a black powder in the box that I don't know what it was.
Lord Belle was a little confused and didn't understand what this meant. A Russian next to him was obviously clear, pointing to the box containing the black powder and said: "These are supposed to be chemical mixtures, and if they are put together with alcohol, they will immediately release a large amount of heat, enough to light this alcohol lamp." ”
After the Russian finished speaking, he stood up: "The box is not securely placed, although we will not shake it when we walk, but when the salute begins, the box will be shaken down, and then the powder will be sprinkled on the alcohol lamp, and the lead of the explosive bag will be ignited." This pillar is the support of the whole house, and I'm sure that if two explosive packs explode, the whole building will collapse in an instant. ”
The Russian said as he reached out and slowly picked up the small box, his movements very careful, for he knew very well that if he shook off a little bit of powder, the explosives would ignite.
He let out a long breath, then reached out and took the alcohol lamp, and the explosives bag was left untouched.
As if he was afraid that others would not believe him, after the explosives bag and the alcohol lamp were separated, the old man pinched a little black powder from the box. Sprinkled on top of the alcohol lamp, and sure enough, the alcohol lamp immediately burst into flames, as if by magic.
Seeing the surprised expressions of the group of people around him, the Russian was particularly satisfied, and smiled slightly: "I'm sure that the person who placed this explosive must be a chemical professional." ”
Guangxu still had palpitations at this time: "This explosive package won't explode, right?" ”
The Russian confidently said, "No, unless someone comes and lights it." Please rest assured. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and Desi Jianshi Snowy immediately said: "Bixia, what we have to do now is to find out who planted this bomb. He's more dangerous than a dynamite bag! ”
Guangxu nodded: "Hmm!" Zhang Xun, you cooperate with Mr. Colonel, you must find out this person! ”
Zhang Xun immediately responded: "Tsk! ”
Desi Jianshi Snowwich turned his head to look at the people around him: "Bixia, everyone who can enter this room is suspicious, I need a detailed list." Especially the person who made an excuse to leave just now is the most suspicious! ”
Zaifeng thought about it next to him: "Last night, Lord Zhao went in and out the most times, and he just made an excuse to leave......"
"No, it won't! It definitely won't be Lord Zhao! ”
Belle Ye jumped out to defend Zhao Erxun at once, it is possible that anyone planted this bomb, but it is definitely not Zhao Erxun!
Desi Jianshi Snowwich also did not speak. Guangxu glanced at Zaitao, and then said softly: "I also believe that Lord Zhao is loyal, but there is nothing wrong with checking it, Zaitao." If things are clear, it can also prove Lord Zhao's innocence. ”
Zaitao's heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, does Zhao Erxun still need to check? Does he still need to prove his innocence? But he didn't say anything more.
As soon as the matter of the explosives was finished, the old eunuch who had been following Guangxu ran in: "Long live, my lords." Now that the hour is coming, is it time to prepare? ”
Guangxu looked at the two explosive packets, and after the alcohol lamp was taken away, the possibility of the explosive packs exploding on their own was almost gone. It was heavily guarded, and it was impossible for anyone to rush in and set it on fire. Took a deep breath: "Okay! In any case, the time to ascend the throne cannot be delayed! Come! The ceremony begins! ”
After finishing speaking, Guangxu walked out of the house with his head held high, and the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were also very excited, and walked out behind Guangxu in accordance with the formation of haode in advance.
The Russian waited for everyone to leave, and then came to Desi Jiansnovich's side: "Colonel, what do you think we should do now?" ”
Desi Jianshi Snowic smiled darkly: "Of course, to help them complete this ceremony." ”
"What about explosives?"
"Either the Northeast did it, but Beijing did it! There is nothing to trace, what we have to do now is to ensure the safety of this celebration, and then, the explosives package was put by Zhao Erxun. ”
The Russian was really taken aback, and Desi Jianshi Novich carried his head: "It's him!" And he put it together with Zaitao! The Qing Dynasty didn't need loyal people with a revival mentality, they just needed us! ”
"I see."
"Bang! Bang! ”
A salute exploded, brilliant fireworks rose into the air, the unique horn of the Qing Dynasty also blew up, and Emperor Guangxu appeared in everyone's field of vision in full costume.
Not to mention, Lao Zhao's arrangement was really good, although the reporters came more than he expected, but there was no chaos at all, Guangxu could feel the flash always flashing on his body all the way, this feeling made him very intoxicated, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Wang Yaqiao's eyes moved with Guangxu's figure, and when Guangxu walked in front of him, there was always a team of soldiers guarding Guangxu's side, so that he couldn't find a chance to start.
Seeing that Guangxu's footsteps were slowly moving away from him, Wang Yaqiao knew that he had to take a step towards him.
At this time, a young man dressed as a reporter in the crowd suddenly pulled out his pistol and shot Guangxu three times in a row!
This gunman's movements were very fast, but Zaitao's reaction was faster, after all, he was a person who had been on the battlefield, and when he saw that person pulling out his gun, he pounced on Guangxu: "Protect the emperor!" ”
None of the three bullets hit Guangxu, only killing a palace maid and a eunuch, and the young man had no chance to shoot again. A group of Russian soldiers next to him also reacted at this time, a soldier shot the young man in the wrist, and then a dozen Russian soldiers pounced and pressed him to the ground!
The music of the ceremony suddenly stopped, and the guy who was pressed was still struggling on the ground, but he couldn't get up at all. Desi Jianshi Novic ran over, and after seeing that Guangxu was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his hand: "Escort down!" ”
Zaifeng also recovered from the shock, and he immediately ran to the side and waved his hands at the crowd: "I'm sorry everyone, there was a little trouble. But we've solved it, and now the ceremony continues. ”
Guangxu also regained his composure, rearranged his dragon robe, and continued to step forward.
Zhao Erxun beckoned to the drummer next to him: "Go on!" Go on! Don't stop! ”
The farce started again, Zhao Dong's heart became even more nervous, and his voice trembled a little: "What should I do?" One of our people has been caught, will he tell us all? ”
Wang Yaqiao didn't give Zhao Dong any reply. That brother weishenme would rush out, he knew very well, he didn't have a chance, but he still had to try. That brother must have thought in his heart if he could succeed. Wang Yaqiao and the rest don't have to take risks.
They came with the belief that they would die, and under this belief, it would be a victory to live more. It's a pity that the brother's luck is obviously a little worse. They sometimes need luck in what they do. Don't know how your luck is today?
Wang Yaqiao looked at Zhao Dong, smiled, brought his body closer to Zhao Dong, and took out a pistol from his arms: "Brother." This time I xiexie you. We're going to do it all later, you find a chance to sneak out, take this thing with you. If you get caught by the Russians, give yourself a good time, you can't stand it. ”
After finishing speaking, he planned to leave Zhao Dong, but Zhao Dong grabbed him: "Wait! I help you because I'm also Chinese! You can look down on me, but you have to tell me, are you from Beijing or Nanjing? ”
Wang Yaqiao hesitated for a moment, and finally told Zhao Dong the truth: "Northeast." ”
Zhao Dong's whole person was in a trance, and he touched the pistol that Wang Yaqiao had just given him in his arms, he really didn't know what was going on in this world! Do you have such a temper with a beast? weishenme's own dad made him hate in his heart?
There was a bitter smile on his face.
Originally, according to the ritual of the Qing Dynasty, Guangxu had to go directly to the dragon chair in the main hall, and then accept the worship of hundreds of officials, even if it was a ceremony, but now the Russians are not in charge, Lao Maozi asked Guangxu to say a few words outside before entering the main hall.
In fact, there is no special significance, that is, to say something to thank the Russians, and to be friendly with the Russians forever in the future, etc., to show friendship, Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich likes to talk about friendship with people.
Guangxu took steps at the gate of the main hall, and those reporters also surrounded him, this time the Russians learned to be obedient, and he was lucky that the three bullets just now did not hit Guangxu. Lao Maozi opened a human wall this time and blocked the reporters from the human wall.
Wang Yaqiao slowly looked for his place in the crowd below, his eyes looked around, this time Zhao Dong helped them mix in five people, and one was caught. The remaining three people were scattered around, their eyes also staring at Wang Yaqiao.
Each of them knew in their hearts that action meant death for them. There were thousands of Russian and Mongolian soldiers around, and even if they killed Guangxu, they would not be able to get out. But since they came with Wang Yaqiao, they have long since disregarded their personal life and death. A good man, but he wants a vigorous one, let alone for the sake of the Chinese nation?
The four of them exchanged glances, and Wang Yaqiao finally issued an order to prepare for action.
Guangxu stood on the top of the steps and smiled slightly: "Everyone, I am very happy to be standing in this place today." First of all, I would like to explain to you that today is the day when the Qing Dynasty re-established the country, and we would like to thank our Russian friends for their help ......."
