When the Empress Dowager Longyu woke up, it was already time to hold the lamp. Baidu search://

As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard the palace maid whisper in surprise: "Imperial Doctor, Regent, the Queen Mother is awake!" ”

"Queen Mother!" "Queen Mother!" There was a commotion inside and outside the house.

After the imperial doctor stepped forward to ask for pulse, he said in a low voice: "Regent, Yuan Zhongtang, the Queen Mother is just frightened, the phoenix body is fine, the lower official prescribes a dose of a prescription to warm the gallbladder and calm the nerves, and then rest for three or four days, it should be cured!" ”

"Then there will be Dr. Lao!"

Only then did the Empress Dowager Longyu see not only the regent Zaifeng standing aside, but even Yuan Shikai, who had not seen the end of the dragon these days, also appeared in the house, and was standing respectfully behind Zaifeng at the moment. At that moment, she whispered: "The mourning family is just occasionally uncomfortable, and I am worried about all the ministers!" ”

Zaifeng and the others hurriedly knelt down, and replied with sincere fear: "The ministers have no form, causing the queen mother to be frightened, and the crime deserves death!" ”

"Everybody, get up!" The Empress Dowager Longyu stretched out her hand to support her, and then asked, "Regent, how is the emperor?" ”

Zaifeng replied: "Empress Dowager, the emperor is all right, and the dinner has half a bowl of chicken soup and old rice, half a piece of white sugar oil cake and a cup of goat's milk." Smell good! As a precaution, the ministers have asked the emperor to temporarily move to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace is located in the northeast corner of the Imperial Palace, which was built in the 28th year of Kangxi (1689) and was originally inhabited by Empress Hyohuizhang. In the 37th year of Qianlong (1772), it was rebuilt for the banquet after Emperor Gaozong returned to power. In the seventeenth year of Guangxu (1891), it has just been renovated, but it is also clean and comfortable.

Only then did the Empress Dowager Longyu realize that she was not in Zhongcui Palace, but in a very strange place.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Longyu looked around, Zaifeng introduced again: "The Empress Dowager, this is the Reading Building." ”

Reading is the floor is a place to watch a play in the palace, and the Empress Dowager Longyu has accompanied Cixi a few times, and I vaguely remember it. Now the regent moved her here, thinking that he was afraid that the planes of Jingshi University would bomb Zhongcui Palace and give the Qing government a beheading operation.

Empress Dowager Longyu said: "The ancestors became the law, and the women's temple was not allowed to interfere in politics. But now the harem has suffered from flying disasters. Disobedient leaflets scattered in all directions, and even threatened to blow up the palace, causing panic in the upper and lower populations, and the mourners had to ask a question. Why did the Janissaries besiege Jingshi University? Now that the University of Shoyo has threatened to blow up the Imperial Palace, how does the imperial court and the cabinet plan to deal with this matter? ”

The regent hurriedly knelt down again: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, the Praetorian Guards besieged Yao Baolai, the second assistant of the Pure Janissary Army of Jingshi University, acted recklessly, and the Military Advisory Office and the Cabinet did not know about it, and the ministers and others have already planned to severely punish Yao Baolai. In order to avoid the intensification of the conflict, the Military Advisory Office ordered the Praetorian Guards to temporarily retreat and sent Liangbi to Jingshi University to negotiate. They were ordered not to use planes to spy on the interior again, otherwise they would be severely punished. ”

"You can do these things, as long as you don't disturb the harem in the future. The mourning family just wants to raise the emperor in peace, and they don't want to care about anything else. Alas! The mourning family has been serving the first emperor since the fourteenth year of Guangxu (1888), and it has been 23 years now. In the past 20 years, in addition to Gengzi Guobian accompanying Empress Xiaoqinxian and the first emperor Xizhen, this is the second time to move out of Zhongcui Palace. The mourning family didn't want to move anymore, and they didn't want the emperor to leave the palace and be displaced. If anything happens. The mourning family would rather take the first step and die, rather than see the palace collapse and the ancestral foundation fall! In the end, the Empress Dowager Longyu couldn't help but feel sad. Tears rolled down my face, almost choked up.

The princes, ministers, palace maids and eunuchs inside and outside the house suddenly knelt on the ground, and many people even swallowed in a low voice.

stayed up until midnight, and when the Empress Dowager Longyu was tired of crying and fell asleep again, Yuan Shikai returned to his private apartment in Xila Hutong. When I walked into the main hall, I saw a bunch of staff members smoking, drinking tea and chatting, and when they saw Yuan Shikai coming in, everyone hurriedly got up and called "Dashuai". Yuan Shikai walked to the top and sat down, took a sip of the Korean ginseng soup sent by his entourage, and then sighed: "It's really a wave of unevenness!" ”

Zhao Bingjun, as Yuan Shikai's number one confidant, hurried up and asked, "Handsome." What does the regent plan to do with this? ”

Yuan Shikai said angrily: "What else can he do?" As soon as he heard that Jingshi University was going to bomb the city of Beijing, he was already frightened, so he could only honestly bend his knees and ask for mercy, and obediently ordered the Praetorian Guards to retreat. On the one hand, he plans to pull Yao Baolai out to take the blame, and on the other hand, let Liangbi go to Jingshi University for peace talks, and strive for leniency from Jingshi University. Let the court go. ”

Ni Sichong pouted: "I knew that Zaifeng was a soft-footed shrimp!" In his humble opinion, he should take advantage of the darkness to order the entire Praetorian Guard to press on and strive to take the Jingshi University before dawn, so as to solve the problem fundamentally. Otherwise, Jingshi University tasted the sweetness and sent planes to Beijing every once in a while to go around the city, how would the life of the imperial court live? ”

Duan Qirui said with a smile: "Although what Brother Danchen said is reasonable, he ignores the combat power of the Praetorian Guard. If the Praetorian Guards really had the ability to capture Jingshi University overnight, why did they delay outside the school for more than half a month? Moreover, according to the map, the mountains on the campus of Jingsei University are steep, and the terrain is far more complex than that outside the university. In the event of an attack, the school could at least temporarily call up nearly a thousand students to fight. As long as you can't take the University before dawn, the palace is really in danger of being blown up! ”

Yuan Shikai was a little puzzled: "Zhiquan, how many bombs can the plane carry?" The palace covers an area of more than 1,000 acres, with countless pavilions and pavilions, but I'm afraid that it won't be able to blow up for a while, right? ”

Duan Qirui said: "Dashuai, we don't have specific information about the plane of Jingshi University, but we can compare it with foreign data. Like Ilya in Russia? The Muromets aircraft is said to have a maximum level flight speed of 137 kilometers per hour, an altitude of 4,000 meters, a range of 540 kilometers, and a maximum bomb load of 800 kilograms. You may not have any intuitive impression of this set of data, but you can explain it in general below.

"The maximum level flight speed is 137 kilometers per hour, which means that the plane can reach Tianjin in less than an hour after taking off from Jingshi University. As for Beijing, it's just a blink of an eye! The ceiling is 4,000 meters, which means that it can fly at an altitude of 8 miles above the ground, and now all the guns can't reach it, let alone hit. The range of 540 kilometers indicates that the plane took off from Jingshi University and reached Tianjin in the east, Zhangjiakou in the west, Chengde in the north, and Zhengding in the south, all within its attack range. The maximum ammunition load of 800 kg is equivalent to carrying 20 rounds of 152 mm howitzer shells at a time!

"To sum up, this kind of plane took off from Jingshi University, arrived over the Forbidden City, dropped dozens of heavy bombs in one go, and then flew back for no more than an hour. You should also realize that throwing a bomb from the sky and bombarding it with a cannon are two different things, because you can see directly from the sky the grass and trees below. Like the Forbidden City, which is heavily fortified, it seems to be completely undefended from heaven. ”

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Ni Sichong questioned: "Zhiquan, what you said is a Russian plane, and the plane of Jingshi University may not be so advanced?" ”

Duan Qirui shook his head: "I'm afraid that compared with Russia, the plane of Jingshi University is even better." Because as far as the information we have, Jingshi University set up an institution specializing in the study of aircraft as early as the end of the 28th year of Guangxu (1902), and it has been eight or nine years since then; And the development of aircraft in Russia is relatively late, just starting a few years ago. And today, everyone has also seen that two planes of the University of Kinsei dropped leaflets near the palace and the front gate respectively, and the flight maneuvers were smooth, and the target identification was accurate, and the front and back lasted for two hours, and there was no malfunction. ”

Yuan Shikai suddenly thought of another question and said, "Zhi'an, the plane has been hovering around the palace and the front gate for so long, has there been any chaos in the city?" ”

"Back to the handsome, there was no chaos in the city, but it was suddenly changed, and it was inevitable that people would panic, and most of the teahouses and theaters in the front door shops were temporarily closed. If it weren't for the Nine Gates Admiral who saw the opportunity to close the city gate immediately, I am afraid that one-third of the people in the city would have fled from the city for refuge. "Zhao Bingjun once served as the right attendant of the Qing government's patrol police department, and he set up the patrol police department inside and outside the capital, so he knows everything about the big and small events that happened in Beijing.

Yuan Shikai frowned and said: "In this way, if the plane is not removed, there will be no peace in the capital!" ”

Zhang Yilu put down the tea bowl and said: "What the handsome man said is very true!" This plane is like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the officials and people in the capital, and as long as it is not removed for a day, the whole city will be uneasy every day. Therefore, the Janissaries only temporarily retreated, and did not withdraw the whole army. It seems that the regent intended to use the Janissaries to threaten the University of Kyoto not to use the plane, and the University of Kyoto used the plane to threaten the Imperial Court not to act recklessly. ”

Ruan Zhongshu arched his hand at Yuan Shikai: "Dashuai, the plane is a scourge after all." Looking at it from below, it is better for us to secretly dispatch troops into Beijing to replace the Praetorian Guards to besiege Jingshi University and completely eradicate this problem! With just one or two thousand student dolls in their school, it is okay to deal with the Praetorian Guard, but it is by no means the opponent of our Beiyang Army, and it is guaranteed that they can win Jingshi University in one night! ”

Duan Qirui said: "Brother Dou Zhan's trick is indeed a clever plan, but they have a plane, and this strategy is not easy to perform." ”

Ruan Zhongshu was stunned: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Duan Qirui handed over a few pieces of paper: "According to Duan's understanding from the German Legation in China in the afternoon, the main purpose of research aircraft used by various countries for military purposes is to reconnoiter the enemy situation and bomb targets. This afternoon they used airplanes to distribute leaflets, which was actually an application for bombing targets. Today, at noon, the plane hovered over the capital, undoubtedly to reconnoiter the terrain layout of the Imperial Palace and prepare for the distribution of leaflets in the afternoon.

"Jingshi University sent a plane, just to tear up the face with the imperial court, and naturally consider the imperial court's jealousy of the plane. Even if the Janissaries had retreated, they would often send planes around to scout what was going on. It is true that our Beiyang Army is brave enough to win the whole country, but if we want to capture Jingshi University overnight, we need at least three or four thousand people. If there is a small-scale change of guard, one will be protracted, and the other will be difficult to keep secret. Three or four thousand people changed guards on a large scale, and it was almost difficult to escape the detection of aircraft! ”

Ruan Zhongshu said: "What can they do if they find out? They can use the Forbidden City to blackmail the Praetorian Guards, but they can't blackmail us. It is better that they bomb the Forbidden City, and the Praetorian Guard attack the Jingshi University, and the fight is lost, and we will take the fisherman. At that time, first clean up the Praetorian Guard, then capture Jingshi University, and then return to Ge to occupy the Beijing Division, and the handsome will be the true dragon emperor! ”。。 )
