Chapter 318 The turmoil subsided

Starting early in the next morning, shellings stopped outside the city of Beijing. Immediately afterwards, the gunfire in the city also quickly subsided, and Beijing slowly returned to peace.

However, the "Public Army" under the name of rebellion of Empress Dowager Cixi, under the martial law and imposed strict military controls in the city of Beijing, so as to completely loot the Manchu nobles and bureaucrats.

When they meet Chen Hao, these Manchu nobles and bureaucrats will suffer for eight lifetimes.

In the past, whether it was the British and French coalition forces or the Eight-Nation coalition forces entering Beijing, most of the nobles and bureaucrats would receive the news earlier and escape. Their treasures would be hidden or transferred in advance, so there would be no big losses.

However, when Chen Hao, a time traveler with endless tricks and tricks, and the 20,000 fully armed PLA soldiers entering the inner city acted simultaneously, these rich noble bureaucrats fell into a dangerous situation where there was no way out to heaven and no way out to the earth.

Most of their property, including money from foreign companies, was looted. In the end, even their lives had to be compensated.

In addition, in addition to the Manchu nobles and bureaucrats in the inner city, the owners of rice shops in Beijing, both Han and Manchu, were also affected by disasters.

The rice shop opened by the Han people was fine, but when the grain and white flour were requisitioned, they obtained equivalent silver. All the rice shop opened by the Manren was confiscated by the Imperial Army. The Manren boss was inexplicably charged with hoarding, and the whole family was arrested for being punished.

At the same time, the Han people's settlement areas outside the city of Beijing not only did not implement military control, but many soldiers from the Imperial Army held horns and shouted various slogans to stabilize the people's hearts in northern official language.

"The elders and villagers in Beijing, the old witch Cixi who was in trouble with the country and the people, has been awarded the title, and the remnants of the old witch were also eliminated by the Imperial Army last night."

"Now that the turmoil has subsided, the peace in Beijing has returned to peace. Don't be afraid, you can come out to the market to do business with confidence."

"From now on, the safety of the fellow villagers in Beijing will be maintained by the Imperial Army. As long as you do not commit crimes and obey our Imperial Army well, your life will be greatly improved."

"The emperor who was under house arrest by the old witch has been rescued by our Imperial Guard Army. He will be restored soon and reforms will be implemented. Please wait and see and support more."

"The two generals of the Imperial Army, Li Guangxin and Xu Fang, were kind-hearted and compassionate. They ordered that 10 kilograms of white flour be provided for each household for free, only one day, and it will never be overdue."

...

"The 10 kilograms of white flour are in chaos, so how could such a good thing happen? Our family doesn't have a few kilograms of white flour now. Should we go out and collect it?"

"It's really strange. The fighting outside was so lively last night, how could it be restored to peace so quickly? Moreover, the nearby houses and buildings were intact and were not damaged, and they didn't look like turmoil at all. Which one did the Imperial Army come from..."

The patrolman Xia Tie and his wife, hiding at home, were watching the movements outside while answering questions and answering questions.

Since Xia Tie is a Han patrolman in the outer city, and the disaster happened, he hid at home and couldn't take a step forward, so he didn't know that the inner city had been turned upside down by the Imperial Army. He didn't know that tens of thousands of unarmed people were ruthlessly robbed and massacred.

Since the outer city was a settlement of Han people, some damage occurred in the battle between the various city gates. Except for some rice shops, the houses in the city were not invaded by the Baodi Army.

Originally, Xia Tie was extremely worried that the riots last night would cause his family to be devastated, but he didn't expect that this would be the result. Therefore, he felt very strange.

"Li Guangxin and Xu Fang, two generals of the Imperial Army, ordered that 10 kilograms of white flour be provided for each household for free today. This is only one day, and it will never be overdue."

Xia Tie was analyzing the situation with an irresponsible question, and the sound of providing 10 kilograms of white flour was getting louder and louder.

"Master, I ask you if you want to get the white flour. What are you thinking about?" Xia Tie's wife said a little dissatisfied.

"Hey, what do you know, woman?" Xia Tie stared at her eyes and said, "If we take the things from the Imperial Army, we will become members of the Imperial Army. If the opponent of the Imperial Army comes over, we will be in trouble."

"Oh," Xia Tie's wife responded respectfully: "It's still the head of the family who is knowledgeable, so let's not get the white noodles. After eating the remaining kilograms of white noodles, there are some glutinous rice at home, and we'll just cook porridge for a while. When the situation calms down, we'll go out to buy food."

"What a woman who doesn't know anything about it. If you have something to take for free, why don't you get it?" Xia Tie said with a pity.

Xia Tie's wife was shocked.

Xia Tie smiled proudly and analyzed enthusiastically: "The old witch Cixi in their mouths is the Lord Buddha, who has been beheaded by the Imperial Army."

"What? Lord Lafayette was beheaded?" Xia Tie's wife was shocked.

"Yes," Xia Tie continued: "The enemy of the Imperial Army is the army of Lord Lafayette. Now Lord Lafayette has returned to the west and the emperor has restored his throne. The enemy of the Imperial Army has no hope. The world will be peaceful, hehe."

Xia Tie's wife was overjoyed when she heard this and said worriedly again: "But, the guns and cannons were fired all night last night, and it seemed that the enemy of the Imperial Army had not given up yet. The head of the family, we can't just make a few pounds of white flour..."

"Okay, urging me to collect it, but also afraid of the world." Xia Tie interrupted his wife angrily, stood up and walked out and muttered: "It's a blessing or not a disaster, it's a disaster. It's a disaster. It's a responsibility, does not disturb the people, and gives it to the common people. It's really unique. Moreover, they also need to help the emperor implement reforms, and we have to support them with actions."

...

At around 10 a.m., Chen Hao, Huang Yunya, Huo Yuanjia and others came to Dongzhimen, Dongcheng District.

Climbing the tall and majestic Dongzhimen City Gate Tower and overlooking the scenery inside and outside Dongzhimen, Chen Hao and Huang Yunya from Nanyang and others were also a little fascinated.

"What a beautiful city in Beijing," Huang Yunya murmured.

"Oh, the scenery is gone." Qiu Jin, who was standing beside him, sighed: "A few years ago, the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing City, and the Russian army attacked from here. After being robbed by these hungry wolves, it is now far worse than before."

Xu Xilin continued: "Hmph, at that time, Russia's wolfish ambitions took the opportunity to mobilize more than 100,000 troops to invade the Northeast. If the interests of other imperialist countries were not damaged and curbed it, I saw that it would have been occupied by Russia in the early morning."...
