Rebirth of the Northern Giants

After Zaiyi went back, he was very happy and gave him many banquets.

Seeing him happy, Jiang Chaozong stepped forward and bowed his head and asked, "My lord, but today's morning affairs are over?"

Zai Yi said with a proud face: "It's not far from success. I didn't see you this morning. This king showed great power and pointed at Guangxu's nose and scolded him. It's really comfortable. I didn't expect this king to have such a day. Even Lafayette had to treat me like this." Hum down."

Jiang Chaozong hurriedly flattered him and said, "Your Highness is powerful. The villain already knew about it. Otherwise, why would he choose to join His Highness?"

Zaiyi said proudly: "You still have some vision, Lafayette has agreed that once Ye Ni withdraws, she will consider abolishing Guangxu and making my son emperor."

Jiang Chaozong's eyes flashed brightly, and he tried his best to persuade him: "It is said that the small ones should not talk too much, but the small ones are afraid that this is Lafayette's plan to slow down the army, and things will change if it is too late. Alright, so I won't be afraid of Lafayette going back on his word."

Since Jiang Chaozong and other villains have offended Guangxu, they will always think about how to avoid future troubles, so that he can relax.

"Really?" Zaiyi began to bow her head in thought.

In the middle of the night, Mr. Wu was about to go to bed, but a young eunuch came to see him.

"Mr. Wu, I have an invitation from above." The little eunuch pointed to the sky.

"You mean?" Mr. Wu thought about it for a while, and when he was connected with the rumors of the forced palace this morning, he knew it in his heart. He didn't expect that Ye Shuai was already approaching the city, and these empress dowagers and princes of the Qing Dynasty were still thinking about how to fight for power. Live, I don't know how to write the word dead.

Mr. Wu followed the little eunuch's turn and turns, and arrived at Cixi's bedroom not long after.

There was a screen in front of Cixi, and Li Lianying was standing outside. Mr. Wu did not see her real face, but only a rough outline.

After saluting, Mr. Wu stood quietly aside.

Soon, a woman's voice came from the screen.

"You are a martial artist. The Ai family heard that you have great prestige in the Boxers."

Mr. Wu replied Shi Shiran: "The queen mother has given the award, and the reputation is so meager. I am afraid that I will tarnish the holy ears of the queen mother."

"You don't have to be too modest, do you know why Ai's family came to see you tonight?"

Mr. Wu replied with a happy face: "The empress dowager thinks that I don't dare to guess randomly, but I am happy and panicked to be summoned by the empress dowager."

"Seeing that you are also a smart person, the Ai family will not go around talking to you. How is your stay at Prince Rui's mansion?"

Mr. Wu said a little bit unfairly: "The prince treats his ministers very well, but the prince's confidants are Jiang Chaozong and others."

"Prince Rui is an honest man, and the Ai family also values ​​it very much. It's just that he has no great talent, and you feel wronged by his side."

"The people of the country and the countryside are very happy when someone appreciates them"

"Well, not anxious or bored, he is a talent. The Ai family always likes to promote newcomers. Here is a token. You can hold it. If you have anything to do, you can go directly to the palace and report to the Ai family."

Li Lianying next to him took it and handed it to Mr. Wu, and said softly: "This token is a priceless treasure. There are only two pieces in the court. One is held by the former Governor of Zhili, Rong Lu. Now that the Queen Mother rewards you, our family is very jealous. .”

Mr. Wu quickly took the token, and said gratefully: "The Queen Mother is so loving, what should I do?"

"You just need to do your part. Remember, what Lord Rui can give you, the Ai family can give you, and what Lord Rui can't give you, the Ai family can still give you."

"Chen, I don't know what to say. I can't repay the grace of the saints if I die. If there is any order from Lafayette in the future, I will die."

"Well, go down, and come to the palace more often in the future."

After Mr. Wu went down, Li Lianying walked up to Cixi and asked, "Lafayette, can this person be trusted?"

Cixi said indifferently: "The left and right are just for fame and fortune. Aijia doesn't believe that he is willing to stay in the small pond of Prince Rui's mansion and ignore the big pond of Aijia."

"The Empress Dowager is wise"

After Mr. Wu left the palace, he knocked on the token. It was made of pure gold, and it is estimated that it can sell for a few dollars. .

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

On May 5, three armies of the Boxer Regiment arrived in the capital. (When you read the novel, you will go to Ye Zi·you~you)

They are 1 people led by Zhao Sanduo and Yan Shuqin, 3 people led by Zhu Hongdeng, Monk Xincheng, etc., more than [-] people led by Zhang Decheng and others, plus Mr. Yuan Wu and Cao Futian led by the capital. There were [-] Boxers, and there were Han people in the capital who continued to join, and the momentum was huge for a while, reaching a total of hundreds of thousands of people.

Ye Zhikui ordered the army to retreat for more than [-] li and not to fight lightly on the grounds that the enemy army was too powerful to avoid its sharp edge for the time being.

Discuss the commander of the rebellious army.

Ye Zhikui sat at the head.

All the generals gathered in the tent, whether it was the generals of the original Xinjian army, the generals of the Gan army, or even some generals of the Wu Yi army, they all looked angrily, obviously they had some opinions on Ye Zhikui's order.

Xu Shichang was deprived of military power and became only an aide without any worries.

Expressing everyone's thoughts: "Ye Shuai, there are two things I don't understand. One is why you didn't let our army attack the capital before the Boxer Regiment reinforcements arrived. At this time, the capital's strength is limited, and our army has a great chance of winning if we attack. "

Seeing that Ye Zhikui was silent, Xu Shichang continued: "Secondly, when the Boxer reinforcements were on the road, why didn't Ye Shuai order splitting attacks and defeating them one by one? At that time, I tried my best to fight, but Ye Shuai didn't allow it, so I asked Ye Shuai to relieve them. The next confusion."

Dong Fuxiang stroked his beard, and echoed, "Ye Shuai, this old man also thinks that your strategy is wrong, and now the enemy army is gathering in the capital, it is difficult to conquer, and our army is in a dilemma."

Although some generals of Wu Yi's army didn't know what Ye Zhikui was thinking and had some opinions, they were unhappy when they saw that the two were using a questioning tone.

He Zonglian said: "Why didn't our army attack the capital? Before the army arrived, General Wu tried to attack first. It was only because the Boxers were invincible and invulnerable that our army was defeated."

Xu Shichang said disapprovingly: "Magic skills are invincible and invulnerable to swords and guns. It's okay to deceive a three-year-old child. My new army has killed countless Boxers in Shandong, and I don't see any magical skills from them. Could it be that they have gods to protect them when they arrive in the capital?" It’s good. (When you read the novel, you will go to Ye Zi·you~you)”

He Zonglian was so choked that she couldn't speak. If Wu Yi's army was no match for the Boxer Regiment, let alone he didn't believe it, not even anyone else in the camp believed it.

Some senior generals of Wu Yi Army, Wang Shizhen, Wen Baishan, Wu Dashan understood Ye Zhikui's plan, and they all smiled and said nothing.

Ye Zhikui got up and stood up, and said without haste: "Everyone, I, Ye Zhikui, am not a cowardly person who is afraid of death. I will have my own share in this matter in the future. Now I only have one order, and that is to wait. Don't give me orders, don't attack!" Otherwise, if the situation has not changed after ten days, I, Ye, would like to abdicate and give way to the virtuous."

Dong Fuxiang said awkwardly after hearing the words: "The old man is just curious, not peeping at Ye Shuai's status. Since Ye Shuai has said so, it doesn't matter if the old man waits another ten days."

Dong Fuxiang thinks he can't control Wu Yi's strong soldiers, but Ye Zhikui can easily control his Gan soldiers. There will be ambition to replace him, and it is for everyone's sake.

Ye Zhikui sighed suddenly, and said with some melancholy: "The country is upright and troublesome, everyone, don't keep your eyes on the small place of the capital. The Russian army is invading the northeast, and the south of the Yangtze River is about to move. It’s Liu Kunyi, it’s Xiao Chong who confused me. I’m sorry, at this time, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is Tan Zhonglin). The day before yesterday, the British threatened to occupy Jiangyin Fort, Jiangnan Shipyard and the entire Wusong area. Fortunately, he dispatched troops to show firm resistance In addition to the good offices of the Americans, the United Kingdom gave up. Zhang Xiangshuai also called and said that the United Kingdom had an attempt to enter the Yangtze River. The two wanted me, Ye Zhikui, to end the war as soon as possible and not give foreign countries an opportunity. Once you make a move, you have to complete your work in one battle. After you go down, you should train your soldiers diligently and don't slack off, otherwise don't blame Ye for being unkind."

All the generals were ashamed when they heard the words, na na dare not say anything, when I and others were still making small troubles, Ye Shuai had already thought of the overall situation, so it can't be compared, it can't be compared.

"To show our determination to resist, I, Ye Zhikui, have boarded a ship in Weihaiwei in the eastern part of the Wuyi Army. In the near future, I will go north with the Beiyang Navy and land at Lushunkou. I will fight the Russian army with the people of the Northeast and go to the national calamity together."

Xu Shichang saw that Ye Zhikui was really dedicated to serving the country, and he was very different from Yuan Shikai, so he had to praise: "Ye Shuai's actions won the hearts of the people, and I feel ashamed. [Ye * Zi] [You * You]"

Ye Zhikui immediately said: "At this time, it is unwise to have the Wuyi Army, the Xinjian Army, and the Gan Army. I, Ye, proposed that the three armies should be merged into one, with the same organization, and be renamed the Guardian Army. In the future, anyone who joins our army , is a member of the guards, everyone treats them equally, what do you think?"

Ye Zhikui brought up what he had already planned in his heart.

Don't think that changing the name is a trivial matter. This move will not only unite the hearts of the troops. Although it will not be possible to eliminate all barriers in a short period of time, once the armies integrate into this system, they will continue to be digested and changed to form a community of interests. It is said that life and death are shared, but at least everyone loves and disgraces, and shares weal and woe.
