Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Cixi was furious, and said: "This gang of dog slaves usually behave neutrally, and whenever something happens, they push each other back and forth. They are really angry and mournful."

Xu Tong stepped forward and said, "Lafayette, why don't you ask other countries to help you."

Prince Li Shiduo persuaded: "Lafayette, the wolf ambitions of the powers of all countries should not be taken lightly."

Cixi snorted coldly and said: "Ai's family is about to lose their heads, and they can manage a lot. They would rather be with friends than slaves. Li Hongzhang and Ye Zhikui want to coerce the emperor to make the princes. This Qing Dynasty belongs to me. Daqing, even if the Ai family smashed him to pieces, they would never let Ye Zhikui and his ilk get it."

Cixi is not stupid, of course she would think that Ye Zhikui is not only as simple as "protecting the emperor and suspending the court". She knows what kind of person Guangxu is. Help Hanchen control.

Fu Guogong Zai Lan pushed Zai Yi who was beside him.

Zaiyi triumphantly stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, the Boxers are all righteous people who risked their lives and went to the country's disaster. Now these people have been subdued by the slaves, and they are worth using. The slaves asked the Queen Mother to let me Lead them to fight Ye Zhikui."

Zai Yi regarded himself as the savior, and the tiger eyes swept all the ministers, and said proudly: "There are thousands of boxers in the servant's mansion, ten thousand boxers in the capital, and tens of thousands in Zhili. The slaves believe that even Ye Zhikui, who has three heads and six arms, cannot resist the slaves' Boxers."

Cixi asked in disbelief: "Wu Yi's army is strong and strong, and its firearms are sharp. Can the Boxers' swords and spears resist it?"

Zaiyi raised his head, curled his lips and replied: "The Boxer, the slave, has the help of gods, and is invulnerable to swords and guns. I will teach him that Ye Zhikui will come and go."

Xu Tong echoed: "Lafayette knows the lesson, the servant has also seen with his own eyes that muskets are useless against the Boxers."

"There is such a magical skill in the world, Prince Rui and Prince Zhuang, you two immediately recruit boxers to Beijing." Cixi was overjoyed, as if a drowning man found a life-saving straw or two.

"Gangyi, the Ai family appointed you as the admiral of the Nine Gates, commanding the Patrol Battalion, the Eight Banners Infantry Battalion, and the Nanyuan New Army, together with the King of Ruijun and Prince Zhuang to protect the safety of the capital, Sun Yuwen, you communicate with the embassies of various countries and ask them to lead the troops before Come to save Aijia, as long as you can keep me from falling, the conditions can be negotiated." Cixi repeatedly ordered.

"The slave is waiting to take the order." The few people seemed to have found the backbone, and hurried down.

Volume Two, The Wind and Cloud in the Capital, Chapter One and Twenty-Eight

After Ye Zhikui received the telegram response from the governors of various provinces, he was already on his way to the capital with the army of rebels. Even he himself did not expect the situation to be so good. Like this, the governors of various provinces violated Cixi's orders, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid is enough to make him laugh so hard.

The central court of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties collapsed, lost prestige, and people's minds changed.

In addition, he actually did not consider the prestige of himself and Li Hongzhang. Since Li Hongzhang did not sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which was hated by the people of the country, his prestige has not declined but has risen since the afternoon of Jiawu. Now, not to mention Ye Zhikui himself, his reputation is in full swing, and the title of No. 1 general in the Far East is not a bragging, but a real fight.

Some generals like Zuo Baogui and Ma Yukun who fought against Japanese pirates with him in North Korea in the past are now mostly admirals of a province. They all have some friendship with Ye Zhikui, and they are also Li Hongzhang's old department. .

Later, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, when they invaded the capital of the Qing Dynasty, the capital of the capital, there were only more than [-] troops. They were still blocked by Nie Shicheng, Dong Fuxiang, Song Qing, and the Boxers. Now Ye Zhikui's rebellious army has nearly [-] people. The former soldiers of resistance have become the soldiers of rebellion today. If you think about it with your toes, you will know who wins and who loses.

Ye Zhikui made up his mind. In order to prevent Cixi from fleeing to the three eastern provinces, and at the same time to stop the reinforcements of the Song Qingyi Army, he ordered Jiang Zikang to lead a total of more than 3000 soldiers from the Third Battalion to Shanhaiguan to meet the enemy. There were about [-] people. Ye Zhikui believed that even if Jiang Zikang could not wipe out the Yi army, he would be more than enough to defeat it.

Ye Zhikui, on the other hand, led the [-] Chinese army, called the Generalissimo of Rebellion, and wrote a letter to the army of justice and the army of rebellion, calling on all people with lofty ideals to raise the banner of righteousness.

For a while, banners fluttered on the road, and war horses neighed.

Ye Zhikui's army came under pressure, shaking the government and the public.

At this time, Gangyi received the appointment of Cixi and was dispatching troops to the Eight Banners Infantry Battalion.

Once the fortitude is in the hands of the power, he will follow the orders, with high spirits and the same limelight.

With his head held high and his chest held high, he led more than a dozen lieutenants and cronies to the Beijing camp.

"Your Majesty Gang is now No. 1 in the capital, Lafayette's confidant's favorite general, and the power is pouring into the government, congratulations." The subordinates kept flattering him.

Gang Yi half-closed his eyes, enjoying it very much.

There was an order to beat the drum, and after the order was issued, there was silence all around, and the resolute face changed slightly.

After the second order, there was finally some movement, and a few people came here sparsely.

One of the Eight Banners soldiers was disheveled, holding a birdcage, yawning, and slowly came to the playground.

Seeing Gangyi looking around with a serious face, he couldn't help but stepped forward to greet him: "Master Gang, what are you doing here so early today? It's too early, and the brothers haven't woken up yet. Show me Look, how about my thrush? The cry is so crisp."

With a livid face, Gang Yi gave the order to fire again, and the sound of the order was heard to block the entire camp.

After a while of silence, finally there was a lot of voices. The drummer quietly wiped his sweat, his resolute face improved slightly, and he nodded slightly. The Beijing camp is still a bit disciplined.

Soon, various angry voices came from all over the barracks.

"I'm going to die, come early in the morning to make a lot of noise, and let me sleep?"

"There's a dead person in the house, and there's a lot of noise here, and I won't be at peace even if I smoke opium."

"It's that damn person who is beating the drum and blowing the whistle, Xiao Taohong, wait a moment, let me open the door to have a look, you little fairy, I will have fun with you when I come back."

fortitude...

At the same time, Zaiyi also held a small military meeting in the palace. It was his first time as commander in chief, and he was elated and extremely excited.

Sitting below are the leaders of the Boxer Regiment, including Cao Futian, Liu Chengxiang, and Mr. Wu, and there is another person who is Jiang Chaozong who came to vote not long ago.

"Everyone, thanks to Lafayette, I have [-] heavenly soldiers, and I want to fight to the death with that Ye Zhikui kid. All the strong men, you are the king's right-hand man. When the time comes to kill Ye Zhikui, promotion and fortune will be indispensable. Everyone said , how to meet the enemy."

Sitting down No. 1, Mr. Wu smiled slightly and said perfunctorily, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry. We have a strong army and a large number of people. Even if everyone bites Ye Zhikui, he can kill Wu Yijun alive."

Zaiyi is fatuous and incompetent, he will believe what lowly people say.

Jiang Chaozong smiled flatteringly and said: "Mr. Wu's words are wrong. Who is the prince? I am the number one warrior in the Qing Dynasty. What worries do I have? I am afraid that the prince has already prepared a plan for the rebellion of Ye Zhikui and Yuan Shikai. "

Zaiyi felt comfortable listening, laughed and said: "Ye Zhikui is nothing to be afraid of, this king has many clever schemes, but I'd better listen to your opinions first, otherwise why would I want you guys."

Jiang Chaozong repeatedly echoed: "That is, that is the master's clever plan."

Then he yelled at Mr. Wu: "Mr. Wu, my lord, this is an opportunity for you to show off, and you haven't spoken out your humble opinion yet."

After Cao Futian and Liu Chengxiang saw that Jiang Chaozong had taken refuge in Zaiyi, they started to tremble again, and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

Jiang Chaozong gave Cao Futian a cold look, and fanned the flames: "My lord, Chief Cao and Chief Liu have both attended Ye Zhikui's wedding, so they wouldn't have any collusion with Thief Ye, or they haven't come up with an idea for so long."

Zaiyi heard the words and looked at the two of them.

Liu Chengxiang said unhurriedly: "My lord, I have already taken refuge in my lord long before I met Ye Zhikui. If I said that I had colluded with Ye Zhikui when I attended the wedding, I'm afraid Mr. Jiang himself will not be able to escape the suspicion. Now that Ye Zhikui's army is under pressure, you will What is your intention to rely on the prince alone and alienate our relationship with the prince, are you a traitor of the enemy army?"

Jiang Chaozong changed his face, pointed at Liu Chengxiang angrily and said, "You, my loyalty to the prince can be learned from the sun and the moon."

"Okay, okay, your loyal king knows it all," Zai Yi saw that the two started to quarrel again, and couldn't help feeling dizzy. He thought he knew all about their troubles, and it wasn't because of women.

But thinking of Lin Hei'er, Zai Yi's heart also felt hot. This girl is so cute and beautiful, she must find time to get her into bed, but it's a pity that she is organizing boxers outside now, so she can't see her a few times.

Mr. Wu knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention, and said helplessly: "My lord, it's not that I can't think of a way out, it's just that the power in Beijing and China is now in the hands of Mr. Gang, and he is dictating us, and the subordinates are also helpless." , just let him order it."

Zaiyi said displeasedly: "You are all my king's people, how can he dare to command you if he has such fortitude."

Mr. Wu frowned and said with a wry smile: "My lord, Mr. Lafayette just won the favor of the Lafayette. The subordinates dare not disobey his words."
