Chapter 298: The Great Capital City 1uan(5)

Shortly after the cannons in Fengtai Town sounded, gunshots also broke out in Beijing. People who were sleeping inside and outside Beijing and nearby counties were awakened one after another.

Although the various noises outside became louder and louder, in the uncertain situation, many wise people knew that it was the most unpleasant thing to go out at this time and stayed at home honestly.

In Beijing, some patrolmen who maintain the security of Beijing are on duty. After the sound of gunfire, except for a few loyal patrolmen who stayed at their posts, others were desperate to hide in the safety.

Xia Tie is an ordinary Han patrolman. Like many patrolmen who are on duty, after gunfire sounded in Beijing, he hurried home.

Xia Tie's wife was hugging her son nervously and watching the movement through the crack in the window. Seeing Xia Tie hurriedly walking home from outside, she hurriedly opened the door and welcomed him in.

"What big thing happened to the head of the family? Could it be that the foreigner came in again, right?" Xia Tie's wife asked tremblingly.

Xia Tie looked at the luggage that had been sorted, sat down and analyzed: "There are many embassies in Beijing, and foreigners from all countries have them. They come and go freely in Beijing, doing whatever they want, and will not raid in the middle of the night. Moreover, the sound of artillery almost all came from Fengtai Camp, so it was even more impossible for foreigners to do a good thing."

"It's better if you're not a foreigner." Xia Tie's wife sighed and relaxed. She looked at the movement outside. She saw that there were obviously more people coming and going on the road. She asked again: "Boss, who will fire the fire at Fengtai Camp? When the city gates open later, should we hide in the countryside first?"

Xia Tie listened to the continuous sound of gunfire outside and smiled bitterly: "It's really a human opinion. In such a critical situation, will the city gate be opened at dawn? As for whom it is coming to attack, it's not something I can guess. Oh, let's stay at home honestly and wait for the situation to calm down."

...

In the east alley, there is a scattered dog jumping.

The soldiers guarding the embassies of various countries hurriedly set up comg, erected wooden fences in front of their respective embassies, and stared outside with rifles in hand.

Britain and France are the strongest in Beijing. Although no one dared to provoke them in the "Qing Dynasty". However, under the scattered war, it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries.

Just in case, they sent hundreds of tall and large soldiers in the barracks out and occupied the most favorable terrain in Dongjiaomin Lane. If someone dared to attack, they would definitely be brutally shot to death with a rifle.

At the same time, the great powers of various countries also sent some bold and meticulous spies who knew Chinese to go out to find out the news.

The British Minister Jurden was not nervous at all about this inexplicable gunfire. After arranging all defense measures, he sat calmly on the sand in the office, lit a cigar, leisurely finished the cigar. Jurden stood up and was about to have breakfast, and sent Mohammed, who had been out to inquire about the news, came back.

"Mohamed, what happened outside? Why did you come back so soon?" Jurden asked in surprise.

Mohammed replied respectfully: "Mr. Minister, on the important roads outside Dongjianmin Lane, the Qing army erected many wooden fences. They prohibited any personnel from entering and leaving on the grounds of protecting the safety of embassies in various countries. However, if we insist on going out, they will also let it go."

"Haha" Zhu Erdian said proudly: "What they thought was that they must be afraid of being beaten by us. They were afraid that those who hurt us would not be able to be well received, so they sent people to protect them.

It seems that although the fighting outside is very lively, the Qing army in Beijing can still control the overall situation and there is no major crisis. So, have you asked them whether they have investigated clearly and who caused such a big disturbance?"

Mohammed made a strange look and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Minister, the Qing army guarding near Dongjiamin Lane told me that they were soldiers of the Baodi Army, that is, they attacked tonight and rescued Emperor Guangxu who was imprisoned by Empress Dowager Cixi."

"What? The Imperial Army? Emperor Guangxu was rescued?" Jurden shouted in disbelief: "God, Mr. Mohammed, are you sure you are not kidding me?"

Mohammed smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Minister, this is what the Qing army who stopped me told me. As for whether they were joking, I think they have no reason to joke with us."

Jurden thought about it and said to Mohammed: "Mohammed, if this matter is true, the consequences are quite serious. Now you go to the embassies of other countries to find out what information they have received."

After Mohammed received the order and left, Juerdian thought to himself: The army of the Bao Imperial Army rescued Emperor Guangxu so quickly and controlled the city of Beijing. Who did it come up with it? Why didn’t there be any news in advance?

Alas, I cooperated well with Cixi, and now the Emperor Guangxu who was trying to revive came out, and there were a lot of troubles in the outside world.

However, the so-called "Qing Dynasty" has long been devastated and difficult to return. Even if Guangxu, an impulsive emperor who likes to act impulsively, comes back to power, it is impossible to turn the world around. In the end, he still has to surrender to the British Empire and sell his sovereignty.

The only thing worth being wary of is the Imperial Army mentioned by Mohammed. This army is meticulous in planning and decisive in its simplified style. Its leaders are definitely not ordinary people and need to be carefully monitored and understood.

Then, according to their attitude towards the British Empire, they used strategies to win over or suppress it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Erdian was shocked: This Imperial Protection Army could silently rescue Emperor Guangxu and control Beijing. Without external support, it would be impossible to achieve this step.

Could it be that the Imperial Army has received support from powerful countries such as France or Germany to do such unexpected events?

So, what kind of benefits did the Imperial Army promise to these powerful countries to obtain their support? The most important thing is, why did the Imperial Army not cooperate with the most powerful British Empire? Do they have a bad impression of the great British Empire?

After thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. After chanting a few cigars, I felt that things had not been clear yet, so there was no need to put too much pressure on myself.

In short, no matter how powerful the Imperial Army was, whether they reached an ulterior motive with other great powers or not, they could not harm the interests of the British Empire.
