C567 Question of the Empress Dowager of the East

In order to ensure the safety of the important areas of the capital, the Qing Dynasty used a large amount of its defensive power. The Chinese soldiers could only survive in the Shuntian Palace and the minister of nine city gates, and all the defensive power of the Forbidden City was concentrated in the hands of the Manchu.

Although this measure prevented the Han people from causing trouble, it also created a very bad situation. The network of connections was too tight. On the one hand, it could not be kept secret, and on the other hand, as was the case now, neither side was willing to risk their lives.

Ever since ancient times, coups had focused on speed, accuracy and ferocity, never had it become a long and long war like what Ci Xi was doing today. In the first two days, when one side was attacking and getting rich, there was still a guarantee for that, but after three days, this group of soldiers started to go easy.

"Ai …" Aren't you the second son of an elder? I'm still your cousin according to seniority... "Just bring it back for two shots, just don't line it up like that …"

"Little Beard Wang!" Why the heck did you come here to join in on the fun? "Your father has at least invited you over for a meal of roast duck from a cheap market, leave a bit of kindness to my subordinates …"

Qing San Ye even taught me bow and arrow for three days. If I were to stab Master, wouldn't that be deceiving Master to exterminate the ancestors? "Got it, got it …"

People were not idiots, everyone had their own selfish motives, the Manchu had experience with coups, they knew that this thing could really make a fortune by rising to the rank of an official if it won! But getting rich as a government official still requires one's life to be spent, right?

At the beginning, everyone fought very hard, with dead bodies pulled out one by one, they were all a group of stupid pigs that wanted to get promoted and become rich. Their life was given to big guys, and their only use was to let everyone know how strong the group of people from Jingshan were.

Spencer continuously shot at the Gun like a torrential rain. The Old Ancestor's sneak attack had killed all sorts of people, while Hairy # 2's hidden grenades had blown up heaven and earth, as well as the Empress Dowager of the East's scolding battles. The twenty-nine year old empress dowager was really bold, as she stood on the limestone and pointed down at the names of the attacking generals.

She could call out the names of any of the military officers, and she could even recount the history of how the ancestors of the eight generations had been blessed by the nation. She was using her words to force the big guys into the pile of good people.

Not only that, this group of Baji s with their sharp ears had already learned the attitude of the local daoyin s through various channels.

Ceng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and the others all expressed their worry openly, and there were even attempts to reconcile the situation by sending troops. The daoyin s of the two continents, two lakes, Sichuan, Ganshan and other places all expressed their worry.

Here, we can only talk about Ci Xi's viciousness. The old granny who was in such a bad situation actually started to unrestrainedly accuse Ci An of causing trouble in the palace, and the male lead of the story was Fuqing.

This kind of shameless personal attack really shook countless of Chinese Officer s. These Chinese Officer Scholars who loved their reputation dearly, when they heard that it was this kind of dirty water, even though they knew that it was a fake excuse, they did not dare to interfere. This also gave Ci Xi more time to move around.

To put it bluntly, Ci Xi had broken through a circle of excrement around the Beijing, causing those Chinese Officer who were obsessed with cleanliness to not dare to rush in, and only meddle inside.

The Empire needed a stable center of power, and the foreign citizens also needed a stable royal power. When the situation could no longer take it any longer, perhaps Ceng Guofan would one day live to see the King of Mongolia's cavalry army and head out of the Beijing.

Ci Xi's wishful thinking was almost over, all these Baji knew in their hearts that if they still continued to fight with their lives, they would definitely be bitten on the head by a donkey.

It was hard to predict who would win or lose in the empress dowagers battle, so the battle ended up in a state of chaos. Both sides fought each other twice a day and shouted loudly that they would not die, but only a few people got seriously injured.

After the slaughter, everyone ate and drank. Even if someone secretly brought wine to satisfy their craving, everyone would just turn a blind eye. No one had the time to fuss about it.

As soon as the morale of the troops dispersed, it naturally brought opportunity to the Discipline Hall and Er Mao. Countless hidden spies began to act, a large amount of hidden funds was triggered, the shining silver sea flowed into the hands of the military officers and soldiers, the encirclement of the iron-barrel-like formations finally broke open one crack after another.

Arms and ammunition, Medicinal Herbs, Rice Noodle Score … There were even canned food stored in large quantities by the new army. If not for these lifeline being sent to Jingshan to recuperate, they would have starved to death even if they did not fight for the past half month.

Today, Er Mao brought over something even more precious than Arms and ammunition, Military Information.

, Qing San Ye, Fu Hui, Er Mao, the Old Ancestor, Zhou Daoying and the others gathered together, in front of them was the black cloth package Er Mao had brought.

When the package was opened, a thick roll of oilcloth was revealed inside. Inside the oilcloth was a large roll of ink-filled newspaper, which was filled with Chinese.

"What is this? Thames's Translator's Report? What kind of place is the Singapore … " Ci An's long nails pointed at the words' ink 'on the newspaper.

The Qing San Ye said, "The Singapore is in the Southern Ocean, the southern end of the Malacca's waterway. Right now, it is an English colony.

As San Ye said this, he opened the newspaper. The pictures and text inside scared him so much that he jumped up, "It's too …" Majesty, look! That's impossible, right? "How is this possible …"

"Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea, expedition to Europa, three hundred men fighting abroad, a bloody war forcing back the noble army of Austria, defeating the group of French cavalry with a footman cavalry. Oh my god! Wu wu wu … "I told you that your godfather wouldn't die, your godfather definitely wouldn't die …" Er Mao just got this information and cried in excitement.

Fu Hui was already dumbstruck. His fingers were too big as they caressed the picture of Xiao Letian's skinny face, and whshe she saw the few words of "safely returned", he did not say a single word before blacking out and falling onto the ground.

"Fu Hui! "Quick, save them …" Ci An screamed, the Old Ancestor's hands and eyes were quick, before Fu Hui's head even hit the ground, she had already extended her hand to support the back of her head.

The Old Ancestor used his hands to establish a vein. "It's nothing, it's just that I'm too excited, I can't supply the Qi and blood for a while …" We'll be fine after a short rest! " While talking, two eunuchs supported Fu Hui onto the bed.

Everyone in Kiki's tower was shocked. The incredulous scenes and words that appeared in the newspaper rendered them completely speechless. Everyone felt as if they were in a dream.

"That means, the news of Xiao Letian's death was most likely a fake intelligence report sent by the French, and their intention was for us to kill each other! How hateful, hateful! " Ci An's heart felt as though it was being twisted by a knife.

"Esteemed empress dowager, we have to prepare early, Xiao Letian brought the Master of Hundred Battles back to. Once he learns that the Tanggu is surrounded and attacked, he will personally take the lead, Maylor will lose for sure, Maylor won't have the chance …" The Qing San Ye said anxiously.

Er Mao laughed coldly and said, "It's too late, it's all too late …" The Tanggu's encirclement was broken by Xiao Letian yesterday. After Maylor's army collapsed, they could only bring a few cavalrymen to flee, and Xiao Letian is now in the Tanggu City! "

"How many soldiers does he have? How many soldiers did Xiao Letian bring? " Ci An asked nervously.

"The information was very clear. New army 1300, rebellion's Green Battalion still has 6000, foreign volunteers have 300, and Xiao Letian has brought 3 warships …"

Hairy # 2's words caused the entire Kiki's tower to feel as if they had fallen into an icy cave. No one spoke, and even the ancestors who had high eyes were stunned.

A strong army capable of sweeping through Europe actually brought along a thousand and three hundred soldiers. There were even foreigners mixed in with them, and there were even warships? Unless the Xiang Army or the Great cavalry regiment of Mongolia were deployed, the local army would not be their match.

"What a sin!" Ci Xi, just go ahead and commit evil … "It's not as if you don't know how difficult it is for the imperial government to defend the Beijing Belt. This is just like luring a wolf into the house …" Ci An's tears rolled down his face.

How could Ci An not cry? The chaos in the Kingdom of Heaven and the chaos in the Twisted Army were all in the southern part of the Qing Dynasty. However, the British and French combined forces wanted the treaties and money, and had no interest in overthrowing the Great Qing Dynasty.

This was also the root of the stability of a people's heart. If Xiao Letian were to really go crazy and lead his troops to Beijing, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, this would deal a fatal blow to the people's hearts.

The commoners and scholars would all have other thoughts, "Your Qing Dynasty can't even protect the Beijing, can you still rule this country? The foreigners were all barbarian robbers. They could only be hated by the people when they entered Beijing, but Xiao Letian was a Chinese? The Chinese have attacked the Beijing. What do you think of all the other Chinese in the world? "

"Tongzhi ZTE, is that all? Is this the end... Fuqing, Hairy # 2, tell me the truth, will Xiao Letian rebel or not! "

Ci An asked Hairy # 2 and Fuqing, but her gaze was focused on Fuqing. It was already an open secret that Hairy # 2 was Xiao Letian's subordinate, and Hairy # 2's interest was always tied to Xiao Letian's body.

However, the Fuqing was not the case. The Third Master would always be a young and strong sect in the Manchu, and was known to everyone in the Beijing. Even though he was married to Xiao Letian, in Ci An's eyes, he was still trustworthy.

The Third Master let out a long sigh, "Oh empress dowager, the facts before have already given you the answer to your first question. Maylor lost, he lost in a complete mess, and your second question is whether Xiao Letian will rebel …"

Fuqing pointed to the words on the report and said softly, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, your mind is in a mess. There's still a large piece of information that Tanggu knows about Zhou Mingkui, why didn't you take a look at it? Since ancient times, when you rebelled, you have to kill an official. But not only did Xiao Letian not kill an official, he made Zhou Mingkui go back to the village to stabilize his heart … "

"Xiao Letian has not killed any of the registered officials from the Tanggu!"
