Chapter 301 Chaos in the capital (8)
Chapter 3o1 Beijing City 1uan(8)
The eunuch who was in charge of guarding Yingtai kowtowed repeatedly and replied crying: "Old Buddha, shortly after the sound of cannons in the early morning, I ordered people to lay bridge boards at both ends of the Banqiao. Unexpectedly, after entering, I saw that the eunuchs and palace maids who were taking care of the emperor were killed. The slave took the people for a long time, but could not find the emperor's trace. It's really damn."
"Preserve the Imperial Army?Preserve the Imperial Army" Cixi muttered for a while and said in despair: "It seems that the emperor must have been rescued by the Imperial Army. It's over, it's all over."
Li Lianying, Xiao Sanzi and others all lay on the ground, crying quietly without saying a word.
"God, God..." Cixi began to go crazy, cursed a few angrily, and kept reciting annoyedly: "It's a pity that the rainy days ago were raining and inconvenient to walk. Otherwise, I would have taken Guangxu, the stinky brat, to live in the Summer Palace. Alas, stayed in the Summer Palace in the suburbs, and escaped. Now that I am surrounded by this Forbidden City, I really am not able to respond every day, and it's not working..."
Some eunuchs and palace maids who were far away became more and more afraid the more they heard them, and began to move slowly and slowly retreat.
Cixi, who deserves to be a generation of demon queen, complained for a long time, was not anxious to death, but calmed down and comforted herself: "There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. When the boat arrives at the bridge, I naturally experienced countless strong winds. I am not alive yet. Although this situation is critical, it can definitely be safe."
Li Lianying continued, "The Lord of Buddha is a celestial being descended to earth, and is protected by the gods in the sky. No mortal can pose a threat to the Lord of Buddha."
"Haha" Cixi smiled with a rare smile and said admiringly: "The road is far away and the horsepower is seen in the hearts of people over time. Every time this time comes, you are the most reliable. Tell me, what should I do to survive this crisis safely?"
Li Lianying is indeed not an ordinary person who only knows how to buy horses and make money. At this critical moment, he showed his first-class ability and said to Cixi carefully: "God of the Lady, if you are not discouraged, we have a way to pass the test. The slave believes that the most urgent task is to make a large sum of money to organize a suicide guard composed of imperial guards and strong eunuchs in the palace."
In order to protect the Forbidden City, a new Shikigami Camp was established in the late Qing Dynasty.
After the army was formed, the army was busy, and the training was loose and the discipline was scattered. By the 26th year of the Guangxu period, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, the entire Shenji camp was disintegrated and the establishment was abolished.
Therefore, although there were thousands of imperial guards in the Forbidden City at this time, most of them were full of soldiers who had not experienced actual combat.
If they were asked to go out to cause trouble and make trouble, these Manchu soldiers would be very comfortable. However, it would be impossible to let them deal with the current crisis.
Therefore, Cixi agreed with Li Lianying's suggestions and nodded and praised: "Lianying, your suggestions are very good. In order to have strong enough self-protection strength, you cannot save money, so you should use them openly."
Speaking of this, Cixi thought about it for a while and said in pain: "I will allocate you 10,000 taels of silver. You will immediately send someone to organize a suicide guard, and then give them all the big swords and foreign guns in the armory of the Forbidden City. In this way, you can attack and retreat and defend. Moreover, you will be more confident in escaping."
Li Lianying immediately took the mistress beside her and some other loyal eunuchs with her identities to organize the suicide guards.
Li Lianying was busy outside Ningshou Palace for a while. As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under heavy rewards. Soon, he summoned more than 40 guards and strong eunuchs.
Just as he was so busy that Cixi sent someone to summon him. Li Lianying was confused and had to entrust the matter to other leaders and eunuchs, and rushed back to see Cixi himself.
"Lianying, how are you doing? Is anyone willing to follow and protect this palace?" After returning to Ningshou Palace, Cixi couldn't wait to ask.
Although Li Lianying felt a little unhappy, she still said to Cixi very respectfully: "God of the Lady, the situation is very good. The servants have gathered more than 40 people. According to this situation, by noon, I believe that a guard of about 100 people can be gathered."
Seeing Cixi's joyful face, Li Lianying felt a little happier and asked in a low voice: "God of Lafayette, is it because of this?"
"No" Cixi deserves to be an old witch, and she thought it carefully, saying to Li Lianying: "Lianying, now you will send a few smart people to the Telegram Bureau to report to the garrison near Beijing City to rescue the troops. If you can't get in time, at least they will have to pick us up on the road."
Li Lianying is not a vegetarian, so of course she would not forget the Telegraph Office and said with a wry smile: "God, I have thought of this matter, and I have sent a few people to the Telegraph Office long ago. However, according to the way of protecting the Imperial Army, I feel that the Telegraph Office will definitely be out of stock."
Cixi was stunned and remembered that Emperor Guangxu was rescued and the Forbidden City was surrounded, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
After a while, Cixi sighed with ease: "Oh, I took it for granted. How could those damn guys let go of such an important place in the Telegraph Bureau? In this case, if the rebels attacked the city, even if we had a suicide guard, it would not be able to resist it. It would be even more difficult to escape from Beijing safely. Oh, what should we do?"
When Li Lianying asked for the establishment of a suicide guard, she already thought of a trick to run away.
Therefore, he asked Cixi to clear away all the eunuchs and palace maids around her and whispered: "Lao Buddha, I have a clever plan. If you follow the slave's plan, it will not only allow us to escape as soon as possible. It will also give us a chance to turn things around."
After hearing Li Lianying's words, Cixi was not very happy and said calmly: "Lianying, although this palace is already useless, I still know that this incident is extremely dangerous. Alas, the rebels are prepared and rescued the emperor again. It is a blessing that we can escape this time. How could we have a chance to turn things around?"
Li Lianying sighed in her heart: Oh, it seems that the old man is really old, now he only wants to survive and not turn around.
Li Lianying thought this in her heart, but said unrestrainedly: "The Lord of Buddha is not old at all, and he is still strong. Lord of Buddha, you should listen to this clever plan of the servant first and see if it is feasible. How about it?"
